Supervisors face mounting pressure to tighten cannabis ordinance

s commercial cannabis applications slowly make their way through San Luis Obispo County’s bureaucracy, some rural residents are fighting the fledging industry with activism and lawsuits—and it remains unclear how county supervisors will respond. At a June 4 meeting, North and South County residents asked the SLO County Board of Supervisors to tighten its cannabis ordinance to further limit where—and how much—cannabis activity can be permitted in unincorporated SLO. “The citizens here clearly believe they’re being overlooked,” Creston resident Don Wilson told the board. Wilson said he was in a standing-room-only crowd last month at a Creston Advisory Body meeting to oppose an application for indoor cannabis cultivation and manufacturing near the North County town. It’s one of a handful of such applications submitted in the greater Creston area. “The citizens of Creston showed up and resisted the idea of the several applications of cannabis grows around our small town,” he said. “They’re concerned about crime; they’re concerned about the safety of their children.” SLO County’s cannabis ordinance—adopted in 2017—allows a pool of 141 growers to apply for permits. Each application is subject to site requirements, such as acreage minimums and 1,000-foot setbacks from “sensitive receptors” like schools, as well as case-by-case discretionary reviews. Some residents said they don’t feel the limits on the industry are strong enough. “As a SLO County supervisor, you have decision-making authority and must balance between big cannabis and small-town America,” said Jim Wortner, of Creston. “Cannabis use is now legal in California, but it is up to each county to determine how and where cannabis projects will be defined by county ordinance.”

CHALLENGED Some SLO County residents are asking county supervisors to revise a cannabis ordinance to add more limits and restrictions on the fledging industry.

Third District Supervisor Adam Hill agreed. “To suggest we should institute a whole bunch of changes, I can’t imagine any other industry that would not be outraged by such a proposal. It’s just not fair,” Hill said. After the meeting, Compton told New Times she wouldn’t push for an outright ban on outdoor grows but would seek other tweaks to address odor issues and to limit the concentration of projects in a particular area, like Nipomo. “The biggest issue is smell,” Compton said. “The dilemma we’re in now is when we started out this is all new. We were making decisions in a vacuum. ... We’re getting a better idea now—it smells really bad.” Δ —Peter Johnson

At a future meeting scheduled as early as September, county supervisors will consider several potential changes to the ordinance— including an outright ban on outdoor cultivation, lengthening setbacks, and requiring a residence to be included as being a sensitive receptor, among other revisions. Supervisors—like 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton and 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson—are divided on those issues. “When we started this, we didn’t know anything; we did not know the impact this was going to have,” Compton said. “You have to change [the ordinance] as you learn.” “There are parts of [the proposed revisions] I absolutely oppose,” countered Gibson. “They are extreme and unwarranted.” Cannabis industry members and supporters showed up on June 4 to defend the industry, contending that the county should not make substantial changes to an ordinance that hasn’t had the chance to work yet. As of March, the county had approved 17 cannabis projects; nearly half of those have been appealed to the Board of Supervisors. “None of these permitted operations are up and going,” said Jason Kallen, an applicant in Templeton. “A lot of the fear being relayed to you today is based on reefer madness from the last 70 years.” In two recent appeal cases where supervisors sided with the cannabis applicant, the neighboring residents filed lawsuits. On May 1, Save York Mountain, a group of residents in rural Templeton, filed a suit challenging a cannabis grow on York Mountain Road off of Highway 46. On May 29, a Nipomo group called Save Our Nipomo Neighborhoods filed a lawsuit over a cultivation and delivery project on Willow Road. Both cases allege improper environmental review. If SLO County revises its ordinance, the changes would apply to cannabis applicants who have yet to complete the months-long permitting process. Industry members argued it would be a significant burden for them to change plans mid process. “We’ve spent over $500,000 on this in two years trying to be up to par with your regulations and your ordinance,” said Sandra Wood of the Paso Robles-based Coastal Elevation. “You’d hurt us ... if you made any changes today. That’s not fair.”

Morro Bay city manager reflects on Virginia Beach mass shooting

In a monthly newsletter, the Morro Bay city manager usually wraps up community events, city efforts, and achievements, but in the June 3 update, he opened with the recent mass shooting in Virginia Beach. On May 31, a civil engineer, who had worked for the city of Virginia Beach for about 15 years, opened fire in Building No. 2 of the Virginia Beach Municipal Center. Eleven city workers and a contractor, who was at the municipal center to see about a permit, were killed. In Morro Bay’s recent newsletter, City Manager Scott Collins said that the incident had shaken him to his core as he worries about

a horrific incident like this playing out in his community. “The incident last Friday was jarring because these things are sort of in the background all the time, and we’re sort of inert to it. Seeing the city manager for Virginia Beach go up and talk about the victims who were coworkers of his, detail who they are, the lives that were lost, the service to the community that’s now lost, and the impact it’s going to have on their colleagues and families—that for me was eye-opening,” Collins told New Times. All of the Morro Bay city staff underwent an active shooter preparedness training last year administered by the Morro Bay Police Department. NEWS continued page 7

News NEWS from page 4

Rick Catlett, the police department’s acting commander, said the department does periodically have active shooter trainings and works closely with the schools in the community and any organization that wants to have the training. “The bottom line is our officers are constantly trying to stay updated on new tactics when it comes to active shooting situations. Our goal is to be as proficient as possible just in case it happens,” Catlett said. The challenge, he said, is keeping the mindset of always being prepared and always understanding that this could happen in the blink of an eye. Catlett said if it does happen, law enforcement needs to be prepared to go in and do whatever it takes to isolate, eliminate, or counter the problem to reduce or prevent the loss of life. In addition to the training, Collins said he wants his colleagues to have situational awareness. If they see something, they should say something. If a staff member witnesses something very uncharacteristic of a coworker or a family member, encourage them to get help. If someone sees or hears a threat, contact a supervisor or notify the police department, he said. “We owe it to ourselves to be aware of what’s going on in our surroundings and take care of each other,” Collins said. “There’s going to be a lot of discussion at the leadership level here about that and also what kind of services can we provide to our employees that may be experiencing hard times.” —Karen Garcia

Paso tenants sue over alleged slum conditions, now won’t have to pay rent

Nearly 200 current and former Paso Robles tenants filed a lawsuit against their landlords for alleged substandard conditions, and a SLO Superior Court judge ruled that current tenants wouldn’t have to pay rent. According to the San Luis Obispo Legal Assistance Foundation (SLOLAF), a primarily volunteer organization that provides pro bono legal services to lowand moderate-income individuals, San Luis Obispo County Judge Ginger Garret granted the emergency orders on May 28. The temporary restraining orders require the owners and the property manager of Grand View Apartments, located at 102 to 240 Spring St., to begin making the apartments habitable and safe, refrain from retaliating against the tenants, and refrain from collecting rent from the tenants. SLOLAF Legal Director Stephanie Barclay said they’re feeling optimistic that the court looked at all of the evidence and agreed that there’s a health and safety emergency there. “Our office frequently receives habitability complaints, but we can usually resolve them without litigation. The problems at Grand View Apartments are widespread and were blatantly ignored for a long period of time while the landlord frequently raised rents and didn’t make repairs. We felt litigation was the only way to solve the pervasive problems at Grand View Apartments,” she said.

VIEWER DISCRETION The tenants filed a lawsuit on May 7 against the Grand View Apartments LLC, Ebrahim Madadi and Fahimeh Madadi (owners), and Nicolle Davis (property manager), alleging the owners and property manager knew their tenants lived in substandard conditions and did nothing about it. According to the lawsuit, for the past four years, the property has been insectand vermin-infested with rampant bedbug, cockroach, and rat problems throughout the units. The property, the lawsuit alleges, also has a severe mold problem and dangerous gas and electric lines that render the premises uninhabitable. “Throughout this period of ghastly living and, in part due to the stress and emotional distress arising from the circumstances described above, the tenants suffered a host of physical ailments to various degrees and at various frequencies,” the lawsuit claims. According to the lawsuit, ailments included frequent episodes of flu-like symptoms, allergies, stomach pains, frequent and severe headaches, rashes, and unknown (and believed to be) insect bites. When tenants complained to the onsite handyman or the property manager, the lawsuit alleges that they would get bounced back and forth between them, other tenants would be blamed for the problems, or they would be given excuses as to why the problems couldn’t be fixed. According to the lawsuit, as a result of the owners’ and property managers’ failure to fix the property defects—while continuing to raise the rents—some tenants were forced to move out and were, therefore, effectively evicted. The owners received a notice from the County of San Luis Obispo Public Health Department on Sept. 11, 2017, citing numerous health and safety code violations and declaring the property a “substandard building” as defined by the California Health and Safety Code. The lawsuit claims that despite this, the property owners still failed to abate the violations and continued to raise the tenants’ rent for the substandard units. A full hearing is scheduled for July 11, 2019. —Karen Garcia

Grand jury takes on fire prevention

Unlike local cities, San Luis Obispo County does not have a weed abatement ordinance on its books to help remove potential fire fuel. The 2018-19 SLO County grand jury says that should change, given the growing threat of wildfires in California. In a report published on June 4, the grand jury examined weed abatement policies throughout the county and concluded that the county itself needs one. “The grand jury was unable to identify the existence of any weed abatement policy by San Luis Obispo County,” the report read. “We believe this lack of policy increases the risk of extensive damage in the event of fires.” Cities have policies that require property owners at the start of fire season to clear vegetation near buildings, property lines, and roadways to a height of 4 to 6 inches. Atascadero also has a chipping program, where residents can haul their own wood and debris to the street and the city comes by to chip it free

of charge. Cal Fire does do some fuel reduction in unincorporated SLO County in areas identified by the state as “responsibility areas,” according to the report. That process involves mowing dry, heavy grass, removing dead and dying brush and trees, and pruning lower branches of trees. The grand jury report doesn’t specify where those state responsibility areas are, but it concludes that a more robust local program is needed. “The Board of Supervisors should implement a countywide weed abatement ordinance, which should also include agricultural properties,” the report stated. The grand jury also recommended that the county and cities offer a chipping program similar to Atascadero’s; that the county should do more to educate the public on evacuation plans as well as a reverse-911 program that allows residents to sign up to receive emergency alerts via phone; and that the county explore the idea of preserving PG&E’s siren warning system for Diablo Canyon Power Plant for future use after the plant closes. “The threat of future fires is a reality that we have to live with,” the grand jury report read. SLO County administrative officials declined to comment on the grand jury report to New Times, but they noted that the county and other agencies named in the report are required by law to issue responses by Aug. 6. —Peter Johnson

Five Cities Fire will continue providing services, with or without Oceano

The Five Cities Fire Authority found a way to continue serving Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, and Oceano for another year with an amendment to a joint powers agreement, but it also developed a backup plan if Oceano decides to break away due to a lack of funds. Grover Beach is the first member to approve a second amendment to the joint powers agreement that revised the way the fire authority is funded. “I do want to say thank you to our city staff, our fire chief, for working on this and bringing this to fruition as we continue to move forward with public safety and emergency services,” Mayor Jeff Lee said at the City Council’s June 4 meeting.

by Jayson Mellom

The new funding formula that would go into effect for the 2019-20 fiscal year increases Grover Beach’s contribution for fire and emergency medical services for the 2019-20 fiscal year by $71,422 to $2 million; Arroyo Grande would pay nearly $2.6 million, a $147,187 increase; and Oceano would pay $1.1 million, a $75,765 increase. Under the funding model that’s already in place, Grover Beach and Arroyo Grande have three fire personnel while Oceano has two. In order to have three, Oceano is placing a measure on the 2020 ballot to generate additional revenues for fire and emergency medical services. If the ballot measure does not pass, Oceano will cease to be a member of the Fire Authority on June 30, 2021. Part of the joint powers agreement amendment includes language that Oceano’s resignation will be followed by a 16-month “wind down period” that specifies distribution of assets and payment liabilities. In the event of that happening, the new funding formula wouldn’t take place. Currently, Arroyo Grande pays for 47 percent of the fire authority, Grover Beach pays for 34 percent, and Oceano 19 percent, based on four parts: number of service calls from the previous year, population, assessed property value, and service levels at the inception of the joint powers agreement. A managers working group, made up of three city/general managers of the member agencies and the fire chief, developed a revised funding formula that removed the assessed property value component and changed the service level. The amendment will be considered by Arroyo Grande on June 11 and Oceano on June 12, and the fire authority budget goes before the authority’s board on June 14. Δ —Karen Garcia

KEEPING IT LOCAL Cosimo Allegretta continues to build on his local relationships through the food delivery service, FoodJets.

BY KAREN GARCIA

Delivered to you

osimo Allegretta has 25 years of experience in the kitchen. You could say that he knows the ins and outs of the food industry as he’s even managed bars in area. But he was looking for something more, and he was ready to get out of the fastpaced lifestyle that comes with creating a menu or holding down a good team of cooks, bartenders, waiters, and everyone else who plays a large role in the dining experience. That new venture came in the form of becoming a market owner of FoodJets and launching the service locally on May 1. It’s similar to Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Postmates in the sense that they’re all food delivery services. What separates FoodJets from the rest is its focus on delivering food from local restaurants to your home or office. You can do that by placing an order online, over the phone, or through FoodJets’ smartphone app, which has a list of restaurants to choose from that have partnered with FoodJets. The phone app has a live order tracking system, so you know exactly where your food is and when it will arrive. “I brought the technology here with a touch of SLO style,” Allegretta said. The Sacramento-based company has extensions of its services in California, Michigan, Nevada, Utah, and Virginia. In San Luis Obispo County, Allegretta said the local food delivery service was called MealClub and the same owner ran MenuClub (printed pocket menus of local restaurants), but that owner wanted to focus on printing. So he passed on his accounts of restaurants that participated in MealClub to Allegretta and FoodJets. Currently, Allegretta delivers food in Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and Five Cities with 12 drivers. He said for now he’s happy with servicing those areas, but with time, he wants to expand all over the county to include Morro Bay, Templeton, and Atascadero. In the city of SLO, FoodJets users can choose deliveries from Poke Bar, Mo’s

Smokehouse, Pizza Solo, Bliss Café, Seeds, Jaffa Café, Old San Luis BBQ Co., and many more. Allegretta said he could get behind a large food delivery company like this because of its focus on relationships with restaurants. With that in mind, Allegretta said he’s able to get to know more restaurant owners and continue expanding in the local community that he already has established relationships with. “I like to talk and interact with people. I’m a very open person, and I like getting to know people,” he said.

Opinion Rude awakening

This is a response to the opinion piece, “Long overdue” (May 23), by Robert C. Cuddy. Mr. Cuddy, I’ll get straight to the point. Approximately a quarter of a billion dollars was the estimated economic impact to SLO County collectively generated by the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area and Pismo State Beach from July of 2016 to July of 2017. Your hypothetical “visionaries and planners” alternatives have as good a chance of generating that amount of revenue as a snowball’s chance in hell. The dunes are no different than any other place where people play. Foolish people do foolish and dangerous things, sometimes lethal things. If we’re going to get stuck with the fallout emanating from those same foolish people, how about engaging in some behavior modification techniques? Extremely severe and expensive fines and suspension or revocation of all privileges. The thing most cherished is their freedom on the dunes, along with inexpensive family fun. Threat enforcement can have an overwhelmingly positive impact on foolish behavior. Drivers passing through Caltrans road work zones receive the warning up front that fines are doubled for violators. People think twice when considering parking in a disabled labeled spot. Why? The posted fine is $250 minimum up to $500, a very powerful incentive to park elsewhere. The dunes are one of the critical revenue generators in our county, securing jobs, small businesses, and an assortment of amenities, enhancing the lives of not just the visitors, but locals as well. Peak season, plus alcohol, plus stupidity, equals four months of

HODIN

emergency sirens, blood, bereavement, and countless repetitions. Take aim at those who need to change their behavior and permit the fun-loving families to reap the benefits of the dunes experience safely. Christopher Maccarone Grover Beach

Dear New Times

I am writing in support of the several recently published letters asking you to stop giving space to Al Fonzi. I have been hesitant to write since I can well imagine that you might take such objections as a kind of success for the paper. It is not. I happen to disagree with most of what he writes, but that is not the issue. If you do continue to publish him, please include credible fact-checking. Though he writes for your opinion section, he includes assertions of things as factual that are not remotely correct. This does not seem to be true of any of your other columnists. They seem to have actually done background research on their topic. Even in areas where you might expect a retired military intelligence officer to be informed, he gets it wildly wrong and your paper seems to make no effort to correct this. I would say it’s the equivalent of consistently publishing conspiracy theories about the moon landing having been faked or the Earth being flat, however there is a vast and significant difference between the believing such conspiracy theories and failing to recognize the very real consequences of climate change. Please find a conservative columnist who will write in good faith and stop publishing the misinformation and propaganda from Al Fonzi. I do not know whether his rambling is incompetence,

Dunes danger claim is really about dust

Regarding Mr. Cuddy’s “Long overdue” commentary (May 23): I suspect that Mr. Cuddy has a personal agenda regarding dust at a home he moved into in an area close to the beach. I also suspect he believes that if all the recreational vehicle traffic on the dunes went away, so would the dust. Did Mr. Cuddy not realize that moving into a house near the beach would have dust issues, ignoring of course all of the agricultural activity in fields along the coast? The sand dunes along the Central Coast have long been characterized as “living” dunes as the winds cause the sand to shift and continually change their size and orientation. Eliminating all vehicular traffic will do nothing to stop the dunes from moving and generating dust. Mr. Cuddy’s concern for safety is unsupported by any personal involvement. I didn’t hear him claiming that Lopez Lake should be closed due to drownings or injuries there. Or what about the inherent dangers in riding the zip lines at the Vista Lago Adventure Park? Oh yeah, that’s right, those activities don’t cause dust. If it is only safety that Mr. Cuddy is concerned with, let’s focus on the fact that California requires you to take and pass a training course to get a license to operate a motorcycle on the freeway. There are no

Letters licensing requirements for an individual to operate an off-road vehicle. That said, California Vehicle Code does stipulate in sections 38503 and 38504 that safety training is required for any person under the age of 18 and that all persons under 14 shall be under the direct supervision of an adult. If both of these sections were rigorously enforced, the dunes would see less traffic, and less traffic would lead to fewer accidents. But alas, Mr. Cuddy, the winds will continue to blow, and the dunes will continue to live and move. Fred White Santa Maria

June is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month

This month, the California Legislature recognized June as Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month. Leaders across the state are coming together to emphasize the public health emergency facing 670,000 Californians who are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder that causes problems with an individual’s memory, thinking, and behavior. This brain disorder robs individuals of their memories and leads to a decline in the quality of their lives. Most individuals who are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease are age 65 and older, but Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging, nor is it a disease of old age. Approximately 200,000 Americans under the age of 65 have younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease. This disease is the third leading cause of death in LETTERS continued page 12

California and directly impacts millions of Californians and their loved ones. The number of those living with Alzheimer’s disease in California is projected to be 25 percent in the next decade, impacting 840,000 individuals by 2025, and as the number affected by the disease grows, so does the cost to reduce and manage the symptoms. California’s Medi-Cal program will spend $3.9 billion this year on skilled care provided to those who have been diagnosed with the disease. African-Americans, Latinos, and women are disproportionately impacted by Alzheimer’s, with higher prevalence rates than the general population. Disparities in detection and diagnosis persist, which results in fewer than half of individuals affected by the disease receiving a formal diagnosis. It is recommended to be routinely assessed when seen by your primary care physician to identify potential symptoms. Friday, June 21, is the Summer Solstice, and is known as the longest day of the year. Groups from all over the world are coming together on the Longest Day of the Year to highlight the strength and endurance of people facing Alzheimer’s disease through advocacy and awareness. I hope that you will join me in educating others about Alzheimer’s disease on June 21, throughout the month of June, and beyond. Bill Monning state senator Carmel

That crazy v-word Thank you for publishing an article that discusses the crazy v-word (“Right to choose,” May 30). Vaccine—a word that has become a stigma to discuss, only whispered behind closed doors, muffled behind coffee cup conversations, and texted in code. And don’t even think about sharing the fact that your child has a medical exemption to your neighbor. I mean, what would they think? Would child protective services show up at your door? I am serious when I say this. My child was vaccinated as we were told. He got seizures as a result—but we should take more for the team, right?

What if, when my friends and family heard of my son’s reaction, they actually thought twice before blindly accepting their next shot at the trusted doctor’s office? They haven’t, which should really make more of us frown and wonder why. Not that they have to stop vaccinating; that is their choice. But why are we afraid to ask questions about and do our own research on the true risks of medical procedures (insert v-word here) so that we may make informed decisions? Thank you New Times for not being afraid. For doing your job and for allowing more information to be published that will spark conversation and allow folks to make their own choices so that freedom of choice will stay alive and well.

The power to impose your will

I am appalled by the trend toward government intervention in women’s right to choose. It is so repellant to me that I’m stirring from complacency now despite every other outrage I’ve let slip. No one has any right to exert power over another individual’s choices unless they’re in charge. Who believes they hold a higher power? From where is it derived? How dare you decide right? Any individual assuming such

authority accepts all responsibilities for imposing their will upon another person. Without knowing that person. Without caring. Just judging that person by some criteria you’ve imposed. Statistics or stereotypes or stigmas that may not be valid at all. I’m the father of a 28-year-old son. I’m also the father of two babies that didn’t make it to term. After each miscarriage, as a devout Christian, I believed that it was God’s will that my wife got pregnant and for some reason God chose to terminate that pregnancy. I accepted it as grace. I don’t know one woman who hasn’t had an abortion or a miscarriage. Two have experienced stillbirths. God-fearing women both. I don’t see how God would will that heartbreak on any believer. So hush ye holy fetal guardians—you’re lost. This argument is beyond your capacity. Begin by acknowledging that God aborts far more than any doctor. Then go carry your poster.

planet that it should be considered a global crime—plus fraud, bribery, false ads, gangsterism, deliberate science misinformation, etc. Big Oil should get the maximum penalty. Now Big Oil is ignoring most of its stockholders who want to begin efforts to curb climate change. OPEC has started raising oil production by around 1 million barrels per day. G.W. Bush, an oil man and a Republican president, said that Americans must wean ourselves off of oil and coal 13 years ago! When do we start weaning? If we start now, it will be difficult, uncomfortable, expensive, and require Americans to muster up enough support and sacrifice to make this generation the “Greatest Generation.” Or, we can put off the inevitable a few more years to benefit a few, then frantically, drastically, and painfully try to solve an even bigger and more expensive problem with many more casualties. Besides, it may be too late: 20 years is the best scenario for not passing the tipping point. The worst scenarios are suggesting far less time is left to change our direction, if any. Aside from stopping climate change and the mass extinction and ending the oil wars that the U.S. has been involved in since World War I, the pollution created by plastic in our oceans must be dealt with. Countless sea mammals, birds, and fish are washing onto shores with

stomachs full of plastic all over the world at an accelerated pace. Huge plastic dead zones are increasing in size and number. Plastic never goes away—at least, not in our lifetime. It erodes into smaller and smaller pieces. Small enough to kill plankton, coral, and other life forms, even the microscopic. This almost unsolvable problem needs action now with the ecosystems inhabiting 70 percent of our planet in immediate danger, there is no choice. The U.S. oil industry should be doing all that it can to clean up and end this calamity caused by its product. Big money will not change a dang thing. We the People must make that change.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

If the lights go out

G&E is sending out notices warning that in the event of summer heatwind events posing an extreme fire danger, it will shut down electrical power in certain regions. Power will be shut down not just in regions directly affected by high risk of wildfire but in potentially unrelated areas for 48 hours or more. This is an element of electrical power transmission, which for technical reasons, may require an adjacent, unthreatened area to have its power shut down. Accordingly, a fire 20 miles away may result in your losing power for an undetermined period of time. Given that summer/autumn heat and wind events can occur repeatedly, we might be facing multiple, prolonged power outages during California’s annual fire season. The season normally runs from June until December but in reality, remains until we get a soaking rain. How will this impact your life? Let’s start with the obvious: no refrigeration for groceries, loss of air conditioning, no fans or light after sundown. For a few hours of outage, loss of power is an inconvenience requiring use of flashlights, lanterns, and candles. A prolonged outage is serious. If you don’t have a full tank of gas, you’re probably not going to get any as gas pumps won’t be operational. Most gas stations don’t have emergency generators to operate gas pumps, ATMs or registers

to process purchases, whether via cash or credit/debit cards. That also applies to grocery stores or pharmacies, which may only have power for food/medication preservation for a limited time. Emergency power is designed to provide lighting to assist customers’ departure from the store, not for operations to permit continued shopping. You can also expect financial services to be interrupted such as electronic deposits/payments. Small businesses are going to take financial hits as are service employees, such as servers at local restaurants. Many such employees work part time at multiple jobs and depend upon income derived from tips to carry them through the week. Any business without emergency generators will be closed, and most that do have such generators won’t be able to carry on for a prolonged outage. Few people or businesses have the ability to safely store significant quantities of fuel for a prolonged outage. Outages of 48 or more hours will present safety issues as people hoard fuel and use haphazard fuel-storage techniques. I foresee more than a few accidental fires and medical emergencies. Other inconvenient facts: Those with all-electrical appliances, such as stoves, won’t be able to use improvised methods to light their stove, unlike gas appliances which can be ignited by hand.

events will be occurring during heat waves, so your living space will become uncomfortably warm over time without fans or air conditioning. Emergency medical services will likely experience increased calls due to heat injuries, especially among the elderly and infirm. We expect essential services to be prepared, especially hospitals, nursing homes and utilities that provide water and sewer. Without water, an inconvenience becomes a life-threatening situation during prolonged heat events. Some people will have water for a few days; few will have sufficient water for a week, especially apartment dwellers, due to storage requirements. How long will local water systems/pumps and wastewater treatment plant emergency power systems hold up? Do they have adequate emergency fuel supplies to last for a week? If their emergency system fails, do they have backup systems? Nursing homes and hospitals are supposed to have emergency plans to include evacuation. Unfortunately, all too often that plan consists of evacuating patients to another local facility down the road or a hospital. A regional lossof-power event could be sufficiently widespread to nullify any plan to move patients to any local facility. Meeting the minimum requirements set down by state law in those cases will be catastrophically insufficient. This was a lesson learned after Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina, where many lives were lost due to insufficient evacuation planning.

Civil disorder is a real probability during a prolonged loss-of-power event. When power outages occur in urban areas for only a few hours, there seems to be an element willing to take advantage of the darkness (and non-operating security cameras) to pillage their community. When power is restored, you can expect continued unrest and shortages as people decide to stock up on everything. I lived through the gas shortages of the 1970s and witnessed long lines and short tempers. Most fire and police departments don’t maintain on-site fuel points for their vehicles and equipment, a result of efficiency measures taken to reduce costs and compliance requirements for environmental laws. They buy their gas for patrol cars and fire engines at a local gas station like everyone else. Unless that station or others are equipped with emergency power systems (I suspect they aren’t), local emergency services are in danger of running out of gas, especially given the likelihood of increased demands for service during a prolonged power outage. Prolonged “public safety power outages” are more than an inconvenience—they pose a far greater hazard to life than a localized major wildfire and could cost billions in economic losses to California.

FEMME JULES D.

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.

691 Higuera St.0 Downtown SLO

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 a 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.

The Shredder

Big NIMBY shuffle I hate to break this news to you in this way, but you are only one of almost 300,000 people living in San Luis Obispo County. The county doesn’t work for just one of you, or even 100 of you. It works for everyone. It represents the interests of the majority. I wasn’t sure if you knew that this was how “Big Government” works, but it is. I’m getting the impression that Jim and Michelle “Small Town America” Wortner from Golden Pheasant Farm and Vineyards in Creston don’t have a good grasp of how county government works. They recently sent out a very long letter to each individual county supervisor and New Times because they are pissed off about “Big Cannabis” and seem to be under the impression that our county government should be working for only the 94 census-designated residents of Creston. Big Cannabis is apparently taking over Small Town America in and around Creston, and the safety of the children is at stake! Crime is about to overtake idyllic ag land and it will never be the same! Never mind all of the vineyards that surround SLO County’s littlest of the little bergs. It’s not like “Big Wine” is a thing (no, never!), and you can’t be a drunk driver if it takes law enforcement more than 30 minutes to find you! The Wortners seem perturbed that Creston’s 94 residents don’t have more of a say when it comes to the county’s ordinance creation and amendment

process. When the county Planning Commission met on May 23 to consider amendments to the cannabis ordinance that the county passed in 2017, nary a word about Creston was said. Tsk. Tsk. Not only that, but the Creston Advisory Body canceled its most recent meeting due to a lack of quorum, so county staff should have known to take the community’s April comments about a specific cannabis project and incorporate them into the county ordinance discussion! Duh, guys. What are you even doing with your lives? “County staff ... did not represent the community point of view—period,” the Wortners lamented in the letter. “If county staff works for the people, and represented our interests, one would assume our issues and solutions would have been included in the ordinance update proposed to the Planning Commission. It was not.” Those little recommendations definitely made their way into the June 4 SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting. They seemed to fall verbatim out of 5th District Supervisor Debbie “I Want What I Want” Arnold’s mouth—who tried to, once again, force county supervisors to vote on something they absolutely shouldn’t be voting on yet. Debbie, I need you to write, “I will not commit a Brown Act violation ever again,” 1,000 times on a blackboard. She is definitely beholden to her

constituents, I’ll give her that. All you have to do is write a strongly worded letter advocating for whatever it is that you desire (it’s an election year, people!), and she will forget that it takes more than 94 people to get re-elected. I write strongly worded open letters every week, and they’re full of suggestions! WTF, Debbie? Why don’t you listen to me!? I vote, damnit. The Wortners would just love it if the county could eliminate any type of industrial manufacturing (you know, the transformation of goods, materials, or substances into new products) on agriculturally zoned land in the county. “Any kind of industrial manufacturing— not just cannabis—does not belong on agricultural property or in residential agriculture areas,” they wrote. Making and bottling wine should be out; milking cattle, pasteurizing it, and making cheese, out; processing olive oil, out; crafting value-added products on your farm, out. Shoot! That’s going to piss off a lot more than 94 people! And now that corporations are people (Thanks, Supreme Court of the United States), Creston believes that residences should be considered the same as schools, parks, and day care centers. What is the world even coming to?

Creston residents would also just absolutely love it if there would be no outdoor cannabis allowed in the county—and I’m pretty sure 4th District Supervisor Lynn “It Smells Really Bad” Compton is on that boat, too. That’s just like, your opinion, man! The smell of cannabis really is more of an acquired smell, one that, once acquired, is easy to love! You know what I would absolutely love? If I didn’t have to smell rotten eggs and look at oil derricks every time I drive through Price Canyon, but I’m sure you Creston residents don’t see eye-to-shredder with me on that. Wait, I know! I’ll just write an open letter to the supervisors. I’m sure Debbie will take up my cause. Not! Meanwhile, Santa Barbara County almost has 1,000 cannabis permits approved and SLO County is creeping toward its 18th with more than half of the permit approvals appealed or dragged into the court system. So, really, Creston has nothing to worry about. Especially, since the county is probably going to change the regulations in its cannabis ordinance anyway with more than 100 potential cannabis applications in the pipeline that would be subject to whatever NIMBY crawls up the behind of the nearest county supervisor. Wannabe cannabis growers in SLO County, I would pull out while you still can—before Small Town America gets you in its “Big NIMBY” grasp. ∆ The Shredder believes in small towns and big governments.

he drive to Stepladder Ranch and Creamery is a long and winding one. Meandering along San Simeon Creek, this is one of those roads I have to take my time on. Agricultural land butts up against riparian habitat. Country houses and “no trespassing” signs line the paved byway as it heads into the hills outside of Cambria. And when I finally arrive at the rusty red gate adorned with an iron-clad cowboy, I park and wait for the tour guide to arrive. Today, that guide happens to be Catelyn Willig, who’s been at the ranch off and on for a few years and really loves goat wattles—those weird little tassels of skin and fur that sometimes hang down off goats’ necks or ears. Heading through the gate and over the creek, I follow Willig’s VW up the long drive and park in front of the big red barn. More than 200 varieties of subtropical fruit grow on this land, which has been farmed by the family who’s owned it since 1871. Buddha’s hand, passion fruit, bananas, citrus, and a lot of avocado, among many other things, populate the acreage. It’s all “part of diversifying the farm and making sure we can get all the use that we can out of the land,” Willig says as I and the other tour attendees gather on the grass. Stepladder also has angus cows and heritage pigs for meat, chickens for eggs, and goats for milk. I’m definitely here for the goats. Willig leads us up to pens where the kids are hanging out. There are 107 or so of the little guys, who are about 2 months old. They’ve been weaned, and they’re feisty. She leans over and pulls four or five over the fence to wander around and encourages us to pick them up. These Lamancha goats were bred in Oregon, she says, and they have unique features, including tiny ears “that look like tortellini, which is my favorite.” She’s totally right. Their little ears blend into the side of their heads, giving them an almost alien shape—and I mean that in the most endearing way possible. They’re even-tempered, an important thing when newbies are handling them on the regular. And Lamancha milk has a high butter fat percentage, Willig adds. About five years ago, Stepladder added creamery to its list of outputs. It now milks 60 goats per day at 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., getting about a gallon of milk per goat,

and turns it into a variety of hard and soft cheeses that run the gamut from fresh to funky. After a spin through the barn that holds the milking parlor and the cheese making facility, we get to the tasting room—which, let’s face it, is really why we all came. Stepladder produces more than the 10 cheeses we tasted, purchasing cow’s milk from the Cal Poly dairy to supplement the goat and aging some of the goat’s milk cheese so that it can be sold in the off-season. The fresh chevre is where this place really shines. I can see the goats outside as I stick a sample size of the fresh, clean, creamy substance in my mouth. It’s a beautiful thing.

Facing decline

Although Stepladder was originally one of five cheese-producing creameries in SLO County, that number is down to three: Stepladder, Central Coast Creamery, and Farmgirl Creamery, all hanging on with no signs of stopping. Their ranks once included Alcea Rosea Farm in Templeton and Rinconada Dairy in Santa Margarita up until a couple of years ago. In September 2017, Alcea’s Bev Michaels announced she was retiring after 16 years of milking goats twice a day. And after 14 years of making cheese commercially, Rinconada Dairy Farm made the decision to retire the goat- and sheep-cheese making part of its operation the year before Michaels did. Rinconada owner/operator Christine Maguire attributes it to two things. “I got old and tired,” she said with a laugh. “Well, that’s part of it.” The other part has to do with antibiotic testing. Around that time, the state stepped up the pressure on antibiotics CHEESE continued page 18

testing in milk. California, Maguire said, is pushing small artisanal operations like hers to test every single batch of milk for antibiotics. When you’re a large commercial operation, going through thousands of pounds of milk every day, it makes sense, Maguire said—but for a small farm, that’s not the case. “When you’re our size, you can’t make cheese,” Maguire said, adding that with small batches of milk, any antibiotics could kill the cultures used to make cheese. “If you put antibiotics into an animal, you take her out of the stream, and you never put her back in. That’s just the way it’s done.” With the looming expense of testing milk almost daily, either by sending it out to a lab or purchasing the testing equipment themselves, Maguire said her husband wrote a letter to the California Department of Food and Agriculture requesting that it make an exception for creameries of a certain size or smaller. The department, which didn’t return New Times’ request for comment before press time, declined to acquiesce. “The margin in artisan cheesemaking is really small,” Maguire said. “We just weren’t making money, and that was making it worse. So it came at a good time for me because I was old and ready to retire.” The Maguires weren’t the only ones to retire around that time. She said she could think of several others who made the same decision due in part to the testing requirements. Of course, Maguire

didn’t retire completely. She and her husband still raise chickens, heritage turkeys, lambs, goats, and pigs that are sold for meat, plus they operate a farm stay on their property. “It works out beautifully, and it really did help out financially, and now we do it because it’s really fun; we get to meet really wonderful and interesting people,” Maguire said.

Adapting locally

Thirteen years ago, in 2006, Danika Gordon came back to the Central Coast and started peddling cheese out of a refrigerated truck. Pulling up to restaurants, she would invite SLO County chefs into the truck and do a tasting for them. At the end of the day, all of the cheese would get unloaded into the coolers that still hold cheese at Vivant Fine Cheese in Paso Robles. Gordon laughed when she talked about the way things started out for the cheese shop and wholesale distributor: with a fanciful idea of selling all of the soft, stinky French cheeses to folks in North County. Paso wasn’t quite ready for that kind of wine country experience just yet. “We ended up throwing a lot of it in the dumpster,” Gordon said. “The thing that’s evolved over time with this is understanding what people will buy and what they won’t.” Now, stinky cheese is definitely in. So are local cheeses such as those from Farmgirl, Central Coast Creamery, and Stepladder—of which you can find several peeking out from the stacks arranged just

so in Vivant’s front coolers. “There’s so little of it. ... Chefs are really surprised at that,” Gordon said. “When I sit down with the chefs, we broaden our ‘local’ out a little bit so we have more to choose from.” At any time, Gordon said the shop carries about 200 types of cheese, rotating them in and out depending on the time of year and the season. Goat cheese, for instance, from places like Stepladder definitely depends on the season because goats only produce milk for a few months out of the year. Although Vivant does move cheese out of the little shop on Pine Street, about 70 percent of Gordon’s business is wholesale, selling local and nonlocal cheeses alike to wineries, restaurants, and shops. Whereas Fromagerie Sophie, a cheese shop in San Luis Obispo that closed earlier this year after five years in business, depended on foot traffic to move its 60 to 80 European, artisanal, and all around tasty cheeses, Vivant doesn’t. “The wholesale is really the key,” Gordon said. “Otherwise you couldn’t turn the product fast enough ... you couldn’t have 200 types of cheese; you could only have 10, and that limits your clientele.” Wholesale was always the start and endgame for Gordon, who graduated from Cal Poly’s dairy sciences program in the late 1990s and went to work for a Central Valley cheesemaker that specialized in selling tons of cheese in the Midwest. She sold cheese on the Chicago Mercantile, and traded by the truckload—40 pound blocks, 640 pound blocks, and 500 pound barrels of cheese—for about seven years

before working for a company out of Green Bay, Wisconsin, as the director of West Coast Sales “I was ready to not live out of a suitcase anymore,” she said with a wry smile. Gordon’s family has spent generations in SLO County. She grew up in Atascadero, and her mom’s grandfather made cheese at the Creamery (when it was a real creamery) in downtown SLO. “That was, you know, when land was cheaper and more plentiful,” she said. And when dairy cows roamed free and creameries were all over the county. With land as expensive as it is on the Central Coast, it no longer makes sense to use it for cows that you have to keep close to home because they need to be milked daily, Gordon said. Goats take up less space and are cheaper to manage. Plus, cheese is expensive to make, and the margin on each little round or wedge isn’t very high. So, like any sort of artisanal agricultural endeavor, cheese is a tough business to be in. A little bit of luck and an ability to weather the hard times are essential. But Gordon said Vivant does everything possible to support local cheesemakers as much as it can. “It’s important because we’re all in this together,” she said.

CHEESE from page 18

This slows down moisture loss and enables the cheese to breath, creamery owner Reggie Jones tells me. Holey Cow is “the only Swiss cheese made in California,” Jones says. “When we’re looking at what we’re going to produce here, we’re looking at what holes are in the market.” No pun intended. The cow’s milk cheese happens to be the top seller, and it’s freaking delicious. I love Swiss cheese. I know it’s a strange cheese for an American to obsess over. It’s a little rubbery and it has a bunch of holes in it. Gruyere, a close cousin to Swiss, is also one of my faves. The slightly nuttier crunch of crystalized cheese just puts me over the edge! Holey Cow tastes like Gruyere and Swiss had a baby. It’s got a creamier mouthfeel. It’s nutty, sweet, and soft—and I’m standing in a room that’s stacked with shelves of it making their way from the floor to the ceiling. This yellowish cheese isn’t the only delicious item in the Central Coast Creamery’s temperature-controlled aging rooms. There are nine others, including Ewereka, Seascape, and Goat Cheddar— all of which took home Best of Class awards in the hard sheep’s milk, soft and semi-sweet mixed milk, and hard goat’s milk cheese categories, respectively, in the 2019 United States Championship Cheese Contest hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association.

stashed anywhere. He brings in cow milk from the Cuyama Dairy, goat milk from Hanford, and sheep from Lemoore. Similar to Gordon at Vivant, Jones got his start at a large commercial operation in the Central Valley after graduating from Fresno State University. He made cheese for the largest dairy cooperative in the nation, the Dairy Farmers of America, dealing with more than 200,000 pounds of cheese a day. After that, he worked for a company that helped troubleshoot problems with cheese, working with bacteria cultures and figuring out flavor profiles. “It’s kind of a unique background to allow us to start up and start making high-quality cheese right away,” he says. Central Coast Creamery got its start in Oakdale in 2008 with the intention of moving to SLO County. Although, at first, the plan was to keep things artisan, he quickly realized that in order to be a PHOTO COURTESY OF VIVANT ARTISAN CHEESE

viable business, they needed to scale up. He figured that out almost immediately, he says. Before they even installed the first vat they’d purchased, Jones says, they realized it wasn’t going to work and they needed a larger one. “We don’t do farmers’ markets. We don’t do tours,” Jones says. “We sell pallets of cheese to distributors. We don’t do direct to wineries or anything like that.” Every day between 6 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, Central Coast Creamery processes between 1,000 and 1,200 gallons of milk that become more than 20,000 pounds of cheese every month. All of the milk gets tested on site for antibiotics, and Jones does testing for Negranti Creamery, which makes sheep’s milk ice cream in Paso Robles. The cheesemaking process here is continuous. Rounds of goat and cow milk cheeses are floating in a salt-brine, fresh off the cheese press, which is waiting to

receive new curds to press. Whey and curds pour out of the vat into a contraption where the whey will drain out (and get sent to some hungry, lucky, and soon-to-be-delicious little piggies), and the curds will move on with their lifecycle. Jones opens the door to a second aging room, and it smells distinctly different from the first. A little sweeter, a little less barnyardy. He tests a wheel of cheese that he partnered with Firestone Walker Brewing Company to craft. It’s a hybrid of sorts, and the curds were soaked in Mocha Merlin. “Why wouldn’t you put a milk stout in a cheese?” he asks. Exactly. Using a trier—yep, that’s what it’s called—Jones pulls out a small round column of the new cheese, which he says is almost ready. It’s marbled brown and yellowish, soft in parts and crystalized in others. It’s different. To me it tastes a little bit like yeast. Jones says he can taste the stout. He talks about the process excitedly. After 29 years in the cheesemaking business, his passion for the craft hasn’t waned. “I like being able to create something from milk,” Jones says. “I like the fermentation process.” Δ Editor Camillia Lanham took her time on the cheese beat.

Ice cream with a twist

by Karen Garcia

A Central Coast couple is working to bring homemade ice cream back to town

henever summer decides to grace us with its presence, certain treats are a must at picnics, Fourth of July parties, and community gatherings. Among fresh watermelon, pies, and lemonade, the vital ingredient to a wellrounded gathering is ice cream. According to the International Dairy Foods Association, ice cream’s origins are known to reach as far back as the second century B.C. The first official account of the dessert in the United States came in the form of an advertisement in the New York Gazette on May 12, 1777. At the time, ice cream was an exotic treat enjoyed mostly by the elite. In the 19th century, the confection was more available to the public—until the dessert was rationed during World War II. As prepackaged ice cream sold at supermarkets gained popularity in the 1940s through the 1970s, traditional ice cream parlors and soda fountains started to disappear. One Central Coast couple is ready to bring the local ice cream shop vibe back to their community. Victor and Natalie Bryson have loved ice cream since they were kids. “I absolutely love it. When I was going to school I would go to the ice cream shops around here, and I just had a lot of ideas about flavors as well as other things that just weren’t being done,” Victor said. It didn’t really occur to Victor that he could bring his ideas to fruition with his own business until about 10 years ago. After testing out different recipes and flavors, Victor and Natalie found something that stuck—an ice cream catering business called Creme De La Ice Cream. “We wanted to start a company to do different things where people can come to our ice cream shop, have fun, and enjoy flavors they want, wouldn’t expect, or could possibly even create themselves,” he said of the Santa Maria-based company. The pair began taking orders last year and really has tried to customize their flavors to their customers’ desires or the specific event. For this past Cinco De Mayo celebration, the couple was asked to cater an event where they made horchata and tres leche cake batter flavors scooped into homemade waffle cones that were dyed red and green. They also have more traditional flavors like strawberry, mint and chip, peach cobbler, and vanilla bean. The difference

SWEETS FOR ALL Chocolate lovers can indulge in Coco Loco without worrying about an upset stomach as Santa Maria-based Creme De La Ice Cream uses lactose-free milk in all of its pints.

between Creme De La Ice Cream and some of its competitors is that all the ingredients are fresh, from the Santa Maria-grown strawberries to the freshly scraped vanilla beans. They even have ice cream push pops and sorbet flavors. Their most popular flavor is s’mores. It’s covered by a layer of chocolate that, when broken, exposes a rich and creamy vanilla ice cream packed with roasted marshmallows and pieces of graham cracker. While it sounds like a lot in one pint of ice cream, every ingredient is perfectly balanced. Victor uses lactose-free milk in all of his ice creams. Natalie said it’s easier on the stomach to use this milk for all ages to enjoy. The couple also has creamy treats for four-legged customers. They sell dog treats covered in frozen yogurt that’s mixed with fruit, peanut butter, or bacon. It takes Victor about an hour to make three gallons of ice cream at a time, so depending on the number of people they’re catering for, he said he usually takes an order a few days or a week in advance. He likes to make the ice cream a day before it’s ready to be served, keeping it as fresh as possible. Victor and Natalie have plans to open up a brick-and-mortar shop in Santa Maria this year. While customers will still have the option of a cup, cone, or waffle cone, Victor said they’re introducing a cookie cup, chocolate spoon, and chocolate or chocolate-covered straws. “That’s part of the creativity that we’re hoping to bring to ice cream, to really kind of enhance that experience,” he said. Δ Staff Writer Karen Garcia is eating her fifth spoonful of ice cream at kgarcia@ newtimesslo.com.

Three local butcher shops carry on the olds ways

ou could say butchery is in our bones. Archaeologists have unearthed mastodon tusks with cuts and grooves next to rudimentary knives. While we’ve evolved into a society where most of us never see the sentient creatures whose story ends on our dinner table, the tradition of butchery is still passed on from master to apprentice, parent to child, generation to generation. Even though the heyday of butcher shops may have been snuffed out by the invention of the supermarket, small town shop owners still skin, slice, and smoke day after day for their loyal, quality conscious customer base. Hidden among the sprawling agricultural beauty of the Central Coast are three such master butcher shops. The first weekend in June, I set out with my trusty sidekick of a husband to see what these gems had to offer up for my palate and my barbecue. First, we headed north, where J&R Natural Meats is tucked into a bustling shopping center on Rossi Road in Templeton. A full-service butcher, J&R has a USDA-certified processing operation and a focus on local, naturally raised meats, from poultry to beef and everything in between. Butcher Colton Godfrey greeted us, and when I asked what amazing creation they had in the smoker to elicit such a tummy rumbling odor, he laughed and said, “Oh, nothing actually. We smoked tri-tip yesterday; that’s just the fans pumping everything out. But if you need something smoked, we can do that!” It’s clear that customer service is No. 1 at this company, as is a commitment to humanely sourced meats raised as locally as possible. J&R has an MHU—mobile harvesting unit—based out of its Paso Robles location. Bringing the processing to the ranches greatly reduces the stress on animals in their final moments. Pasture raised animals given fresh air and freedom, and humanely processed, ultimately translate to better meat on your table. Fellow butcher Jim “Griff” Griffin joined us as Godfrey took our order of a porterhouse steak (his recommendation) to the back. I asked about why customers would shop at a local butcher instead of the supermarket, and Griffin ticked off reason after reason. “We have superb quality meats and real meat cutters who know this stuff backwards and forwards. We can accommodate special requests, cuts, even help people with certain food allergies get what product will work for them,” Griffin said. Our porterhouse arrived at the counter wrapped along with Shamrock sausage and hickory peppered bacon that we couldn’t leave without. We wound our way down the Cuesta Grade, passing longhorns on our left and praising the late season rain for green crests as we swooped down the hill. After a quick stop in SLO to drop off our haul at home and make room in our ice chest, we headed into the heart of the Arroyo Grande Village. The Arroyo Grande Meat Company has continuously run a butcher shop since 1897. First owned

by Matt Swall, and changing hands at this point or that, the Gonzales family bought it in 1992. As the saloon doors swung open, Ennio Morricone’s spaghetti Western theme song welcomed us in. Butcher Geoff Montgomery stood behind the counter feeding beef into a grinder, catching the hamburgers-to-be in his hand like a practiced pro. The Meat Company offers Sterling Silver beef— prized for its marbling and incredible flavor. You won’t find this on the shelves of any supermarket. “What’s unique about Sterling is they don’t grade their meat like everyone else. Their standards are above and beyond the normal markers. Marbling, tenderness, and flavor all must be premium,” Montgomery said. The tight-knit team runs by one simple rule—if it’s not good enough for Mom, it’s not good enough for you. The tradition and quality that has lived in these walls over the past 122 years is evident in every product they offer, including in-house ham, bacon, and sausage—the latter of which comes in 40 varieties. Tubs, bags, and bottles in varying sizes of the shop’s Santa Maria-style seasoning line the walls. Montgomery recommended all of it. “Seriously, it’s simple and amazing on its own, or you can add to it. Toss in thyme and rosemary and you’ve got an amazing pork rub, or cumin and cayenne and it’s great taco seasoning,” Montgomery said. We grabbed a tub along with a couple of tri-tips and headed out the swinging

doors toward our last stop. Lunchtime approached, and I knew exactly where to satiate ourselves; Woody’s Butcher Block in Santa Maria. Tim Woodbury, who goes by the title of head honcho, was in the food service industry for 28 years before switching gears into the premium meat market world after seeing a gap in his community. From beef jerky to filet mignon, if the product doesn’t meet his lofty standards, Woody’s simply won’t carry it. “All of our meats are fed 100 percent vegetarian diet. Much of the ‘commodity’ meats sold in grocery chains and box stores are fed animal by-products as feed supplements. This is not natural and would never be available at Woody’s,” Woodbury said. He recommended that everyone try the relatively unknown hanger steak at least once. The taste is “luscious and surprising,” Woodbury said. “You will always remember your first hanger.” He’s not wrong. I’ll never forget you, first hanger! Wafts of smoke from the back barbecue filled my nostrils, and I was ready to chow down. Woody’s has a wonderful selection of sandwiches, but none are as popular as the Santa Maria-style tri-tip. Certified angus beef tri-tip is seasoned with Woody’s Grilling Salt—in-house Santa Maria-style seasoning—and slowroasted over red oak. Served in a toasted French roll with seasoned butter, the tritip slices are dipped in a hot au-jus and paired with fresh homemade salsa. We stuffed our ice chest not once but twice with everything from beef jerky to bacon, hanger steaks and porterhouse, sausages, spices, and more. We hauled home a little more than 15 pounds of quality meat that we can feel good about eating. It may not be the cheapest way to procure your protein, but there’s no comparison in quality, customer service, and flavor when you buy from passionate people knowledgeable about their business. Best of all, it turns out butchers are pretty much the nicest people in the world! So grab your wallet, walk through their door, inhale deeply, and you’ll never look back.

Dishin’ dogs

by Peter Johnson

Meet Zen Dog’s Nick Regalia, downtown San Luis Obispo’s lone late-night street vendor

ick Regalia knew he wanted to do something different for himself, and he knew that something would involve food. He wasn’t so sure about the details, but in 2016 the San Luis Obispo resident—at the time in his late 20s and working at the Apple Farm Inn—did have a food cart that he’d picked up for $800 and a case of homemade wine. “That cart kind of just fell in my lap,” Regalia said. Regalia also had a passion for street food. Having lived on the East Coast and spent time in places like Brooklyn as well as cities in Europe, the Italian-American was inspired by the vibrant street food culture at those places—where in one block you can find foods, flavors, and people from many different countries. He was curious to find out what living that life was like. “That was the thing that got me into it,” Regalia said of his travels. “Everything is more street food oriented. I really like that. … I thought, let’s take a shot at it.” Now, Regalia (and his food cart) is better known around SLO County as Zen Dog (@zen_dog805 on Instagram). You can find him slinging his tasty gourmet hot dogs and vegan dogs on weekend nights at McCarthy’s Irish Pub in SLO ’til closing time and at various events and food truck gatherings around the county. Regalia said he believes he’s the only street-style vendor currently working in downtown SLO at night, a gig he was afforded thanks to the pub’s location on a street corner with a spacious patio and private parking lot, and his own scrappiness. “SLO is really difficult to do business as far as [street food],” Regalia said. “You can’t set up anywhere that’s city owned, so that eliminates downtown. It’s outdated, really.” Regalia started Zen Dog in the parking lot of Miner’s Ace Hardware in SLO. The store graciously allowed Regalia to set up his food cart outside the cashier area, at no charge. There, he got the opportunity to learn the ropes of cooking street dogs, selling them to whichever

LOCAL BIZ Nick Regalia, 32, of SLO, started his street food business, Zen Dog, in 2016, and today he’s the only vendor of his kind out in downtown SLO late at night, at McCarthy’s Irish Pub.

patrons happened to be hungry for one. “It was cool because I got to, for free, basically learn what the hell I was doing,” Regalia said. Hot dogs’ speed and flexibility made them Regalia’s food of choice. His most popular item is a bacon-wrapped Hawaiian dog, complete with a tequila pineapple relish, on a brioche bun. But he has other options, including classic dogs with a variety of topping choices, and even vegan dogs. “I’m Italian, and I was always growing up around food and cooking and whatnot, so it’s been cool to be able to create the menu; I’m always trying to keep it fresh, keep people guessing,” Regalia said. “The hot dog works well with the crowd, and as far as grab and go.” As Regalia gained confidence behind the cart, he eyed McCarthy’s as the golden destination. Several times he tried to reach out to the bar ownership, ASH Management, to make the pitch, but could never successfully make contact.

FOOD CART COMMUNITY Zen Dog is one of several mobile food cart/ truck businesses in SLO County. Its founder, Nick Regalia, hopes to see that community grow and thrive in the future.

“I was having trouble getting through to them. I kept just kind of showing up, showing up, showing up,” he said. Still working his day job at Apple Farm, Regalia also moonlighted as an Uber driver. On one call during a particularly slow night, the McCarthy’s Pub owner serendipitously stepped into Regalia’s car for a ride home. “I kind of gave them the elevator pitch,” Regalia remembered with a laugh. “I was like, ‘People leave downtown. There’s not that many options late night.’ I was trying

to fill that gap and keep the patrons there. … He was like, ‘OK, let’s try it out.’” Since Regalia got established there, Zen Dog has built up a reputation and following on social media that’s enabled Regalia to turn his side hustle into a full-time job. “Everyone’s been stoked,” Regalia said. “It started taking off and paying for itself. I said, ‘I gotta commit to this.’ I just went for it.” Regalia now not only has ambitions to grow Zen Dog in the area (he recently bought a second food cart and a Santa Barbara County business license), but he hopes to help unify a growing local street food community. “There weren’t a lot of trucks down here when I started, but definitely in the last year I’m seeing more and more,” Regalia said. “Now that this is my second and third year, you know the people, you start to build relationships. It’s nice to see those doors kind of open. … What I want to do is start a little coalition.” Part of his vision is to advocate for city policies that will allow street food to begin to really thrive on the Central Coast, like it does in so many places around the world. If so, maybe Regalia won’t be downtown’s lone late-night street chef for long. “It’s just outdated,” he said. “It’ll get there.” Δ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson is cheering for street food in SLO.

Juke box heroes Foreigner brings its hits to Vina Robles, but only scalper tickets remain

oreigner is synonymous with ’70s and ’80s classic rock—the band’s list of hits is exhaustive: “Feels Like the First Time,” “Cold as Ice,” “Long, Long Way from Home,” “Hot Blooded,” “Double Vision,” “Blue Morning, Blue Day,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Head Games,” “Urgent,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” “Juke Box Hero,” “Break It Up,” “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “That Was Yesterday,” “Say You Will,” “I Don’t Want to Live Without You,” and more. If you have a hankering to hear these choice gems live, Foreigner: The Hits Tour comes to Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Sunday, June 9 (7 p.m.; all ages; $49.50 to $85 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com), with Tommy Odetto opening. The band is touring in support of Foreigner 40— Forty Hits From Forty Years (1977-2017), available on Rhino Records. The band has always been Mick Jones’ (lead guitar) baby, though the band’s first four albums also owe a lot of credit to original members Lou Gramm (vocals) and Al Greenwood (keyboard), who Jones sacked after Foreigner 4 was released in 1981. According to Jones, the two had become increasingly interested in songwriting, and he felt they were taking the band in a different direction. Even after their departure, Foreigner continued to be huge and remains one of rock’s best selling bands of all time, with

80 million albums sold and counting. All told, the group’s racked up 10 multiplatinum albums and 16 top-30 hits. The current band includes Jones—the only remaining original member—Kelly Hansen (lead vocals), Jeff Pilson (bass, vocals), Tom Gimbel (rhythm guitar, sax, vocals), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar), and Chris Frazier (drums). The Forty Hits album “is a comprehensive compilation of original hits and several tracks from the current lineup with Kelly Hansen on vocals, including ‘Can’t Slow Down,’ ‘Too Late,’ and the Top 20 AC hit ‘When It Comes To Love,’” according to press materials. The album also features two new songs, “The Flame Still Burns” and “Give My Life For Love,” a brand new song by Jones. This just in! The concert has sold out. Some tickets are available at third-party vendors. For instance, if you buy a pair of tickets in the floor section close to the stage, they’ll set you back $487 each (ticketoffices.com). Is it legal to shoot online scalpers yet?

From those Marshall County tobacco fields to the shores of Daytona Beach, Kaleb’s passion for music and captivating performances have taken him to stages all over the country,” his bio said. The pair squared off against each other with a duet of Tom Petty’s “Don’t Do Me Like That” and later performed a duet of Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins’ “Hillbilly Bone” in a 2018 semi-final round of The Voice. They found that they sing well together, and now they’re playing some dates.

Artifacts Over and over again BY RYAH COOLEY

Movement Arts Center presents Thumbelina at Spanos Theatre

The San Luis Obispo Movement Arts Center, in collaboration with the Movement Arts Collective, presents its production of Thumbelina at the Spanos Theatre on Sunday, June 9, at 1 and 6 p.m. Based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale, this ballet follows a thumb-sized ballerina as she travels through forests, ponds, and meadows while meeting frogs, mice, beetles, and other creatures. Thumbelina includes one 20-minute intermission and is recommended for ages 3 and up. Act II features a mixed program of high energy dance set to various selections of popular, contemporary music. Tickets to the show range from $20 to $30. The Spanos Theatre is located inside Cal Poly’s Performing Arts Center, at 1 Grand Ave., SLO. Call (805) 756-4849 or visit pacslo.org for tickets and more information.

Festival Mozaic announces new executive director

The board of directors of Festival Mozaic welcomes Lloyd Tanner as its new executive director. Tanner’s first immediate focus will be on the program’s 49th season, which begins on Wednesday, July 24, according to Festival Mozaic. Combining work experiences from the Los Angeles Opera, the Washington Ballet, the Atlanta Symphony, and other organizations, Tanner has more than 20 years of performing arts administration experience. “I am humbled by this tremendous opportunity to help carry the artistic vision Festival Mozaic and Scott Yoo have established, and to join an organization deeply supported by the community of San Luis Obispo, a committed board, and a devoted staff,” Tanner said in a press release.

ame place. Same guy. Same camera. Different results, every time. Glen Hush, an Idaho-based photographer, chalks it up to the ever-changing light. “We’re just chasing light,” Hush said. “You can go to the same spot over and over again and never get the same picture because of light.” Hush’s photos, along with the works of other photographers from across the country, are currently on display at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art’s It’s All About The Light exhibit. Photographers were asked to consider how light impacts their work. The show is sponsored by the Central Coast Photographic society and juried by photographer Marc Muench. After studying 195 submitted images, Muench selected 46 photographs for exhibition. Hush, who leans toward realism in his work, shoots wildlife and landscapes. His photos look almost unreal. “I’m going for deep, rich content,” Hush said. “I like to push the saturation of color. I like to bring the viewer into the photo.” Hush’s piece, Fleeting Moments, which won Best in Show, captured a rare wildlife sighting at a favorite nature spot near Moran, Wyoming. “The clouds opened up for maybe 20 minutes, and in 20 years I’ve never seen a herd of buffalo in that pasture,” he said. San Luis Obispo photographer Bob Canepa knows all about finding the right moment. The photographer regularly goes to the Oceano Dunes to shoot photos, but never on the

Paso Robles book club discusses The Calculating Stars

The Paso Robles City Library hosts its next adult book group on Wednesday, June 19, from 7 to 8 p.m. The book of discussion will be author Mary Robinette Kowal’s The Calculating Stars. The plot revolves around a radically accelerated effort to colonize space after a meteorite obliterates most of the United States’ East Coast. Admission to the group is free, and registration is not required. The club meets once a month and is open to readers ages 16 and over. The library is located at 1000 Spring St., Paso Robles.

weekends when sand is filled with footprints or on Monday when beach campers may still be lurking. Instead, Canepa shoots in the middle of the week, when the coastal getaway is more tranquil. “The Oceano Dunes is one of my favorite places,” Canepa said. “I’m aware of everything around me, but I’m also lost in space.” Even shooting in black and white, Canepa’s photos of the dunes drastically differ depending on the light. “Light impacts it in every single way,” he said. “You get to see different things.” Morro Bay photographer Alice Cahill recently got into taking pictures at night, which brings a whole new perspective when it comes to light. “Light is everything,” Cahill said. “I try to use the light to play an emotion in the viewer.”

Her piece, Holy Night, which won Honorable Mention in the SLOMA show, was shot at night in Bodie, near the California-Nevada border, and it shows a charming old chapel set against a background of twinkling, twirling stars, reminiscent of Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night. Cahill considers herself a photographic artist and will digitally alter images to create a specific effect. “I work in photography but will change it to make a more artistic presentation,” Cahill said. Overall, Cahill hopes that viewers of her work get a taste for what she feels when she’s out shooting photos in nature. “My hope is that it brings them a feeling of joy and maybe inspires them to go out on their own and take pictures and pass it on,” she said. ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is taking a selfie with less than ideal lighting.

o matter what else she tries, Paso Robles artist Linda Garen Smith keeps coming back to pastels. “My mother gave me a little set of Rembrandt pastels many, many years ago,” Smith said. “There was something about the vibrancy and purity of the colors. My best work is always in pastels.” Smith’s pastel work, along with that of Carolyn Braun, Susan Clark, Shelley Snow, Ginger Toomer, and Priscilla White, is currently on display at the Atascadero Library as part of the Summer in Pastels show put on by the Pastel Artists of the Central Coast. These artists create their paintings using a powdered pigment that is rolled into sticks. While Smith often takes her inspiration from nature, she’s looking for more than just a pretty scene when she paints. “There needs to be a story there,” Smith said. “I try to paint an emotional response to something rather than the object itself.” Her piece, Man With A Pearl Earring (a nod to the famous Johannes Vermeer piece, Girl with a Pearl Earring) is based off a photo that Smith took of an actor at a Renaissance faire. She describes her artistic style as “colorful.” “There are so many ways to paint, there are so many colors,” Smith said. “I’m still trying to settle into something.” Shelley Snow, another Paso Robles pastel artist, loves pastels because they can perform like oil paints or even water colors depending on how they’re used. Snow takes her inspiration from people. While people were On display watching The Summer in Pastels: The a rodeo Pastel Artists of the Central Coast event at the show is currently on display at California the Atascadero Library through Mid-State Aug. 30.

paintings, including Hangin’ Out. “They’re very seriously watching this stuff,” Snow said. “I’m kind of interested in the drama of people.” While Snow also works in landscapes and portraits, her work remains consistent stylistically. “I tend to be very realistic,” she said. “It’s representational.” Snow hopes viewers of the show will walk away with a new appreciation for her favorite artists’ tool. “I would like them to see pastels as a medium,” Snow said. “The brilliance and the textures of pastels … it’s fascinating. We’re all nuts about pastels.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley loves Degas’ work with pastels. Contact her at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

I would be very interested to see this version of Aladdin one more time (probably an understatement) with someone who has never seen the original. This year’s remake is by no means better than the 1992 film, but it’s still a gem in its own right—or should I say a diamond in the rough? But I’m curious if there are any huge faults I’m ignoring because my brain is subconsciously filling in those blanks with plot details from the original film. I need an outsider’s perspective! Who out there hasn’t seen the animated film? Putting a Craigslist ad out tonight: Seeking someone who had a terrible childhood. If you peek at the film’s reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, you’ll notice how polarizing reactions to Aladdin have been—with a critics’ score of 58 percent

versus an audience score of 94 percent. I’m happy (and darn proud) to say I’m with the latter crowd. There’s nothing glaringly bad about Aladdin I can think of—and believe me, I’ve tried. But please, don’t go in expecting Will Smith’s take as the genie to top Robin Williams’ unmatchable performance. Smith does his own thing. It’s nowhere near Williams’ level, but it’s enjoyable enough. The overall vibe reminded me a lot of Hitch, where Smith played a dating coach who mentors a bumbling client (Kevin James) into winning someone’s heart. Massoud has great chemistry with both Smith and Scott, but now I can’t help imagining James in the Aladdin role. Aladdin Blart: Mall Cop? Quick, I need a lamp. I have a wish.

Galaxy Kenneth Branagh (Henry V, Hamlet, Murder on the Orient Express) directs and stars as William Shakespeare stumbling into retirement and the last years of his life. Ben Elton’s screenplay is a witty and fictional take on a world-renowned poet and playwright whose private life was and is still a mystery. The story begins at what seems like an end for Shakespeare. In June of 1613, London’s Globe Theater burns down to the ground and, with it, Shakespeare’s creativity. The loss resulted in Shakespeare’s writer’s block and his hasty decision to move back home to Stratford-

upon-Avon to retire, vowing never to write again. But of course the peaceful retirement that Shakespeare is hoping for isn’t what he gets when he returns to a family—a wife and two daughters—he’d basically abandoned for his career. However, the story lines go far beyond the family that awaited his return and longed for his affection. While Shakespeare was away living his best life, his son Hamnet (Sam Ellis) died suddenly at a young age, leaving behind his twin, Judith (Kathryn Wilder), and sister, Susanna (Lydia Wilson). Lord only knows that Shakespeare is suffering, as daughters are only good for marrying off to be another man’s property. It’s a hard truth that Judith throws in her father’s face because she’s single and nowhere near ready to mingle. In fact, she’s pretty pissed off for a majority of the

film because she believes Shakespeare is upset that the wrong twin died. His son should have lived and become a poet just like his father, but why can’t Judith be a poet like her father? There’s also the weird dynamic with his wife, Anne (Judi Dench), whom he married when he was 18 and she was 26—scandalous. He’s been away so long that Anne almost treats him like a guest who’s overstayed his welcome. She also pushes him to grapple with how selfish he’s been over the years by only thinking of his reputation and never about how his actions affected hers. Then there’s Susanna, who’s married to some Puritan jerk who treats her poorly and doesn’t really show her any affection. So what does Susanna do? Finds affection MOVIES continued page 48

MOVIES from page 47 in the arms of another man. The Shakespeare household is anything but boring as the family finds its way to making amends for all the resentment and secrets they’ve kept over the years. Elton’s tale of a man’s last years on Earth dives into the dynamics of a family dealing with loss and regret, with a whole lot of wit. It’s much more enjoyable than a straight biopic, as Elton and Branagh have respectfully imagined what their Shakespeare would have been like. I’m usually not a huge fan of the director giving himself the leading role, but Branagh walks the fine line of balancing his character’s screen time with everyone else’s. In fact, I’d argue that Judith is a more powerful character than Shakespeare himself and has a bigger story to tell. In most of the scenes, Shakespeare seems a little small compared to his female counterparts. (101 min.) —Karen Garcia

Downtown Centre In her feature-length directorial debut, actress Olivia Wilde helms this comedy about teenage besties Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein), who on the eve of their high school graduation realize they squandered their chance at fun by concentrating too much on being academic superstars. Can they cram four years of missed shenanigans into one night? Think of Booksmart as a female version of Superbad, but with even more heart. Like Superbad ’s Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill), Amy and Molly (played by Hill’s real-life sister Beanie Feldstein) are codependent high schoolers desperate for a good time before they move on to the next stage of their lives. While Amy is leaving for a summer trip to Africa to teach Botswana women how to make tampons—yes, a lot of the comedy is lowbrow—Molly is heading to Yale, a goal she sought her entire high school career. When she discovers all the students around her who partied their way through school also got into good schools, she realizes Amy and she could have done both—had fun and studied.

10th-grade Amy definitely has a crush on. There’s also pretentious theater geek George (Noah Galvin); desperatefor-attention rich goofball Jared (Skyler Gisondo) and the rich girl he fawns over, Gigi (Billie Lorde); the girl with a slut reputation known as Triple A (for her roadside assistance, get it?); smoldering hot outsider Hope (Diana Silvers); and a few other high school tropes. We see them trade jabs in class, snowplow over each other’s feelings, and eventually culminate in an outrageous house party. If you aren’t bothered by potty humor and a series of cringe-worthy interactions, there’s a lot of fun to be had here, not to mention poignant moments illustrating the meaning of friendship and the ways we pigeonhole and make judgments about one another. While the interaction between the kids is definitely the film’s highlight, the “adults” in the film also up the humor. Amy’s fawning parents, Charmaine (Lisa Kudrow) and Doug (Will Forte), are open to Amy’s sexuality and vaguely think she and Molly are an item. They’re even dorkier than their daughter in their lame attempts to be “cool.” Jessica Williams stars as Miss Fine, the girls’ hot teacher who respects their studiousness even though the girls’ peers see it as a mark of their loser status. Principle Brown (Jason Sudeikis) is clearly exasperated by Amy and Molly’s relentless earnestness and just wants to get them out of school. He later serendipitously turns up as their Lyft driver, much to his shame, which was a nice little side comment on the substandard pay for teachers. The film certainly gets better as it goes

Now every hit man and woman is after him. About the only killer tentatively on his side is Sofia (Halle Berry), who owes him a debt.

For sheer mayhem, it’s hard to top the John Wick franchise. Sure, films like Smokin’ Aces (2006) and Shoot ’Em Up (2007) have over-the-top gun violence, but compared to the John Wick films, they come off as cartoonish. And yes, films like Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2003) and The Raid: Redemption (2011) have comparable hand-to-hand combat scenes, but the fight choreography in the John Wick films is crazy good and features premiere Hollywood actors trained in the martial arts rather than martial artists trained as actors. This third installment in the series has everything you’ve come to expect— amazing martial arts, knife, and sword fight scenes; close-quarters gunplay; vehicle (even horse) chases; and people

who love their dogs more than anything. Director Chad Stahelski was a martial artist first, martial arts instructor second, Hollywood stuntman third, and came to direction in 2014 with the first John Wick film. He knows how to create believable yet dazzling violence, and he ups the ante with some amazing settings, like a fight in what appears to be a knife museum, a horse stable using horses as weapons, an all-glass room, and a Casablanca compound with Berry’s character Sofia and her two fierce Belgian Malinois dogs. The story is a bit thin. It’s basically an escape film followed by an attack film, but if you like fantasy violence, you’ll be hardpressed to find a better franchise, and this MOVIES continued page 50

GET WEIRD A lonely woman (Octavia Spencer, seated center) meets some teens and lets them party in her basement, but she’s soon taking advantage of them, in the horrorthriller, Ma. MOVIES from page 49 may be the best film of the three. Perhaps the hardest element for my disbelief to overcome is the crazy-kooky world of the international assassins’ guild with exclusive assassin-friendly Continental Hotels in major cities and elaborate rules set by the High Table regarding blood pacts and markers and who’s allowed to kill whom and where. It’s an attempt to bring some semblance of honor to the proceedings. Even after Wick is made excommunicado, he’s still able to call in his marker with The Director (Angelica Huston), who runs a Belarusian ballet and wrestling school, where Wick was apparently trained. There are also questions of loyalty between New York Continental Hotel manager Winston (Ian McShane) and his

concierge Charon (Lance Reddick), who allowed Wick an hour’s head start and are now under scrutiny by The Adjudicator (Asia Kate Dillon), who the High Table sent to mete out justice. The Adjudicator also visits The Director and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), the latter of whom runs a group of “homeless” street thugs and whom she also deems guilty of helping Wick by not killing him on sight when he had the chance. The High Table’s assassin is Zero (Mark Dacascos), a samurai-esque martial arts master with a legion of ninja-like students. Part of the story’s humor is Zero’s fawning flattery of Wick, who’s regarded as the best assassin. Zero desperately wants Wick’s approval, even though he’s trying to kill him. All these competing factions are set-ups

Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Director Tate Taylor (The Help, Get on Up, The Girl on the Train) helms this psychological horror-thriller about a lonely veterinary technician, Sue Ann (Octavia Spencer), who befriends a group of teens outside a liquor store. She agrees to buy the group some booze, and later invites them over to party in her basement.

Pick

Access to alcohol and a safe place to party seem like a dream come true for the kids at first, but the group begins to question Sue Ann’s motivations after dark secrets of her past and present come to light. The first teen we meet in the film is Maggie (Diana Silvers), a new girl in town. Maggie has just moved with her recently divorced mother, Erica (Juliette Lewis), back to the city where Erica grew up and went to high school. Maggie almost immediately meets new friends, including Andy (Corey Fogelmanis), who just happens to be the son of Ben (Luke Evans), one of her mother’s former schoolmates (and best friends as flashbacks start to reveal). The coincidences don’t stop there though, as further flashbacks reveal Sue Ellen was “friends” with their parents as well. It sounds like I’m giving away too much already, but my rule of thumb is this: Anything in the trailer is up for grabs to talk about. I feel like Ma is being marketed two different ways, but neither angle is dishonest to the final product. On one hand, many aspects of Ma resemble a standard slasher where dumb kids get punished simply for being ... dumb kids. The film is of course much grayer than that, but overall, yeah, characters make some extremely poor decisions that inevitably lead to their dire predicaments. On the

other hand, Ma is also a revenge thriller. Even if these characters weren’t dumb, that wouldn’t stop Sue Ellen from seeking retribution for ... well, the trailer doesn’t spill the beans, so neither will I. If there’s one person to thank for why Ma works so well, it’s Spencer. The writing has its ups and downs, but Spencer’s unhinged performance as Sue Ann is engrossing from beginning to end. There isn’t a dull moment when she’s on screen, even when it’s just a shot of her looking stuff up on her phone. What makes those scenes all the more terrifying is the fact that social media is the only tool Sue Ann needs to stalk her prey. The information she gathers on each teen and their parents was given away freely by these characters themselves, through Facebook and other apps. Move over Big Brother, Ma is watching.

We beeline it down the stairs for some delicate and generously portioned ahi tuna served on a very crunchy wonton chip with seaweed salad and a little wasabi cream dished out by Indigo Moon from Main Street in Cambria. Gazing back up at the castle, barely visible through the thick fog, and across the terrace filled with the well-heeled of SLO County and beyond (one of whom is carrying a pork slider that I’m eyeing to fill my plate with next), who cares if a little rain makes my hair frizz out?

Farmhouse Corner Market brings both down-home country and a city feel to SLO

knew I’d been to a market like this before. It’s a place to multitask in metropolitan style. Pick up a bottle of wine and some organic essentials. Treat the kids to homemade ice cream. Meet friends for a locally sourced, downright interesting breakfast or lunch bite. It’s a place where a fine, innovative chef can spread the love and talent. On June 1, the owners of Farmhouse Catering opened their award-winning catering biz up to the rest of us, and the crafty, artisan vibe reminded me of following my nose and heart, stopping to count out dollars for gourmet eats along the promenade of the San Francisco Ferry Building. Only instead of a ferry terminal outside the windows, you see the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport. Either way, you’re transported to another place. The Farmhouse Corner Market is co-owned by Will and Kari Torres and Ryan and Leanne Harris. Between them, they have seven children, including the Harrises’ twin first graders. Kari said it was Ryan and Leanne who approached them with the idea for the marketplace. “We didn’t really know what it was going to look like ... Leanne did all of the interior design,” Kari said. “I would say Will and Leanne are the artists and dreamers, and Ryan and I are the ones that make the dream happen.” Chef Will is a California School of Culinary Arts graduate and winner of Food & Wine’s The Best Winery Restaurants in America for The Restaurant at Justin Vineyards and Winery. Kari said after Will had been at Justin for nearly 13 years, they were ready to have their own place. They started with catering, and now, voila! SLO has a new favorite hangout.

SWEET MOTHER OF STRAWBERRIES House-made biscuits, creme fraiche, strawberries, lemon curd, and homemade lemon poppy ice cream make up this strawberry shortcake dessert special.

DREAM TEAM Farmhouse Corner Market is co-owned by two married couples: Chef Will and Kari Torres (pictured), and partners Ryan and Leanne Harris.

Farmhouse is truly a marketplace. In the restaurant area, you can order from the pastry case or grab a coffee drink. You can sit along bar stools in front of the open kitchen, or choose from plenty of tables for sit-down service. Separated by a breezeway, you can also order from the market and sit nearby on one of the vehicles-turned-tables by the ice cream counter and grocery stands. Scandinavian-style steps reminiscent of a modern art museum are also fun to sit on for a quick bite. At the media soft opening, chef Will was smiling and taking it all in, both hands in his apron pocket. I consider his new place a community service. It’s also a treat-yo’-self kind of a joint: an ecoconscious, globally inspired grub hub for the sophisticated and/or health-aware foodie in all of us. The vibe is laid-back and doesn’t take itself too seriously, but the plates in the restaurant are elevated. It’s refreshing that someone finally opened a little community that keeps sustainability and natural food in mind— it makes you feel cared for. Farmhouse is located in a modern building in a fairly industrial area, and if it weren’t for the telltale silver Farmhouse Airstream food truck and the old, black detailed Chevy pickup, you might mistake the square yellow-and-black building for an IKEA design center. Inside the sky-high industrial entry is your focal point: a classic yellow Ford pick-up named “Ford.” It’s a table too, and you can reserve it. Natural light and fresh breezes flow through the California contemporary-style building. Splashes of live greenery pop in the yellow, black, and

D INE ’N’ DISH Brownie and a movie

I lick my fingers to Briana Dickey, who transformed the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory space in Paso Robles into my dreamy pre-movie sweet fix: Sips & Sweets. This self-taught chocolate fairy from the East Bay burbs created the Cadillac of chocolate brownies: freshbaked, cut in half, filled with fresh-made caramel, dipped in your choice of milk or dark chocolate, and finished with a sprinkle of sea salt. “It’s a hit around here,” Briana said with a giggle. “I can’t keep them on the shelf.” Briana, who owns the cafe with her parents Debbie and John Button, redid the interior last fall with coffee house brick, shabby chic tables, and couches. Now the place next door to the Park Cinemas feels more like a warm and welcoming hangout. People wander in for the caramel apples or custom coffee drinks. They stay and play board games. My husband and I love to eat out at a nearby restaurant or bring a picnic to the square, then go to the movie theater, buy our tickets, and walk right next door to Sips & Sweets for our chocolate caramel brownies and espresso. I can never finish mine, it’s so rich. So I save the rest for my morning coffee, of course. Sips & Sweets is located at 1106 Pine St. in Paso Robles. The shop’s open until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Otherwise, it’s open until 9 p.m. The only chocolate caramel brownie you’ll ever need costs $5. ∆ New Times Contributor Beth Giuffre has a chocolate tooth.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): “I don’t think we were ever meant to hear the same song sung exactly the same way more than once in a lifetime,” says poet Linh Dinh. That’s an extreme statement that I can’t agree with. But I understand what he’s driving at. Repeating yourself can be debilitating, even deadening. That includes trying to draw inspiration from the same old sources that have worked for you in the past. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you try to minimize exact repetition in the next two weeks: both in what you express and what you absorb. For further motivation, here’s William S. Burroughs: “Truth may appear only once; it may not be repeatable.”

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How many languages are you fluent it? One? Two? More? I’m sure you already know that gaining the ability to speak more than one tongue makes you smarter and more empathetic. It expands your capacity to express yourself vividly and gives you access to many interesting people who think differently from you. I mention this, Libra, because you’re in a phase of your cycle when learning a new language might be easier than usual, as is improving your mastery of a second or third language. If none of that’s feasible for you, I urge you to at least formulate an intention to speak your main language with greater candor and precision—and find other ways to expand your ability to express yourself.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

(April 20-May 20): Peter Benchley wrote the best-selling book Jaws, which was later turned into a popular movie. It’s the story of a great white shark that stalks and kills people in a small beach town. Later in his life, the Taurus author was sorry for its influence, which helped legitimize human predation on sharks and led to steep drops in shark populations. To atone, Benchley became an aggressive advocate for shark conservation. If there’s any behavior in your own past that you regret, Taurus, the coming weeks will be a good time to follow Benchley’s lead: Correct for your mistakes; make up for your ignorance; do good deeds to balance a time when you acted unconsciously.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here’s Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano from The Book of Embraces: “In the River Plate basin we call the heart a ‘bobo,’ a fool. And not because it falls in love. We call it a fool because it works so hard.” I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I hope that in the coming weeks, your heart will indeed be a hard-working, wisely foolish bobo. The astrological omens suggest that you will learn what you need to learn and attract the experiences you need to attract if you do just that. Life is giving you a mandate to express daring and diligent actions in behalf of love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some birds can fly for days without coming down to earth. Alpine swifts are the current recordholders, staying aloft for 200 consecutive days as they chase and feed on insects over West Africa. I propose we make the swift your soul ally for the next three weeks. May it help inspire you to take maximum advantage of the opportunities life will be offering you. You will have extraordinary power to soar over the maddening crowd, gaze at the big picture of your life, and enjoy exceptional amounts of freedom.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I think gentleness is one of the most disarmingly and captivatingly attractive qualities there are,” writes poet Nayyirah Waheed. That will be emphatically true about you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Your poised, deeply felt gentleness will accord you as much power as other people might draw from ferocity and grandeur. Your gentleness will enable you to crumble obstacles and slip past barriers. It will energize you to capitalize on and dissipate chaos. It will win you leverage that you’ll be able to use for months.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is the Loch Ness monster real? Is there a giant sea serpent that inhabits the waters of Loch Ness in Scotland? Tantalizing hints arise now and then, but no definitive evidence has ever emerged. In 1975, enterprising investigators got the idea to build a realistic-looking papiermâché companion for Nessie and place it in Loch Ness. They hoped that this “honey trap” would draw the reclusive monster into more public view. Alas, the scheme went awry. (Lady Nessie got damaged when she ran into a jetty.) But it did have some merit. Is there an equivalent approach you might employ to generate more evidence and insight about one of your big mysteries, Leo? What strategies might you experiment with? The time is right to hatch a plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Earlier in your life, you sometimes wrestled with dilemmas that didn’t deserve so much of your time and energy. They weren’t sufficiently essential to invoke the best use of your intelligence. But over the years, you have ripened in your ability to attract more useful and interesting problems. Almost imperceptibly, you have been growing smarter about recognizing which riddles are worth exploring and which are better left alone. Here’s the really good news: The questions and challenges you face now are among the finest you’ve ever had. You are being afforded prime opportunities to grow in wisdom and effectiveness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When he was 20 years old, a German student named Max Planck decided he wanted to study physics. His professor at the University of Munich dissuaded him, telling Planck, “In this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few unimportant holes.” Planck ignored the bad advice and ultimately went on to win a Nobel Prize in Physics for his role in formulating quantum theory. Most of us have had a similar experience: people who’ve tried to convince us to reject our highest calling and strongest dreams. In my view, the coming weeks will be a potent time for you to recover and heal from those deterrents and discouragements in your own past.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not all, but many horoscope columns address your ego rather than your soul. They provide useful information for your surface self, but little help for your deep self. If you’ve read my oracles for a while, you know that I aspire to be in the latter category. In that light, you won’t be surprised when I say that the most important thing you can do in the coming weeks is to seek closer communion with your soul; to explore your core truths; to focus on delight, fulfillment, and spiritual meaning far more than on status, power, and wealth. As you attend to your playful work, meditate on this counsel from Capricorn author John O’Donohue: “The geography of your destiny is always clearer to the eye of your soul than to the intentions and needs of your surface mind.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian biochemist Gertrude Belle Elion shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988. She was instrumental in devising new drugs to treat AIDS and herpes, as well as a medication to facilitate organ transplants. And yet she accomplished all this without ever earning a Ph.D. or M.D., a highly unusual feat. I suspect you may pull off a similar, if slightly less spectacular feat in the coming weeks: getting a reward or blessing despite a lack of formal credentials or official credibility.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Today Mumbai is a megacity with 12.5 million people on 233 square miles. But as late as the 18th century, it consisted of seven sparsely populated islands. Over many decades, reclamation projects turned them into a single land mass. I foresee you undertaking a metaphorically comparable project during the coming months. You could knit fragments together into a whole. You have the power to transform separate and dispersed influences into a single, coordinated influence. You could inspire unconnected things to unite in common cause. ∆
