ometimes the best music is that which you have yet to hear. And sometimes that music is created by local musicians who have a hard time making the time to play shows for the public. For this week’s cover story, Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey tells the stories of three talented local musicians who recently released terrific albums that you’ll have to hear to believe. But you probably won’t get the opportunity to see them on stage, so you better listen up [10]. You can also read about the plans to lease parts of the Pacific Ocean near Morro Bay for wind energy [9] ; the Melodrama’s hilarious spoof about Mama Mia, Papa Pia [36] ; a local artist’s abstract and figurative return to SLO [39] ; and the man who’s bringing Italy to Tin City [46].

T
he Central Coast Aquarium reached its first milestone to developing a new aquarium on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay. “The vision we’re working toward right now is a complete redevelopment of the former Morro Bay Aquarium site including adding two dock spaces, the necessary Harborwalk improvements that would be mandated with any new development there, and public restrooms,” Central Coast Aquarium Executive Director Christine Johnson told New Times. At a June 25 Morro Bay City Council meeting, the Central Coast Aquarium presented its first significant steps on the project. The aquarium has raised $19,000 so far that will go toward an exhibit and architectural design plan, reached out to Cal Poly’s marine faculty to gauge their interest in the project, and received bids from local architecture firm RRM Design Group and the Carmel-based aquarium design and builders Tenji Inc. Johnson told New Times that the Central Coast Aquarium’s first quarterly update is right on target with where it wanted to be. When the aquarium started pursuing the project in March, it had zero funding. Now, she said, it’s halfway to funding the exhibit and architectural design plan. On March 12, the Morro Bay City Council approved moving forward with the Central Coast Aquarium’s plans to pursue a new aquarium project in place of the former Morro Bay Aquarium. The approval included a one-year timeline
SCREENSHOT COURTESY OF THE CITY OF MORRO BAY with four milestones. The first was to present the city council with a concept and philanthropic plan within 90 days, which the aquarium did on June 25. After that the city will present a business and marketing plan to the council. The third phase is to present the council with a concept and philanthropic plan update. The Central Coast Aquarium will then present a final report with regard to the further decisions needed to move the project forward. In April, plans were put on hold as the future potential aquarium was being considered as part of a new development in Morro Bay called Market Street Plaza. But in May, the Central Coast Aquarium board determined that the Embarcadero location was the preferred location. The next step for the aquarium is to finish raising funds for the exhibit and architectural design plan for MARINE EDUCATION The Central Coast Aquarium is the project.

Atascadero to tighten tobacco regulations
as the use of e-cigarettes in public areas where smoking is currently banned. Terrie Banish, who takes care of marketing, promotions, and events for the city, told New Times that the police department regularly responds to a large number of calls about smoking. “It’s a daily occurrence, especially during school season, when school’s in session,” Banish said. In addition to expanding the areas of downtown where smoking is banned and banning vaping in those same spaces, the police department wants to create a 500-foot buffer area around Atascadero’s schools and make it unlawful for minors to possess tobacco products. “The backside of the high school is notoriously problematic for the police department,” Police Chief Jerel Haley said during the meeting. In 2016, California repealed a law making possession of tobacco illegal for minors, according to a staff report from the police department. This limits law enforcement’s ability to confiscate tobacco products from minors or issue them citations for possession of vaping products or e-cigarettes. Haley assured the City Council, though, that changes to the ordinance wouldn’t mean that the police department would be citing minors on their first offense. “There will be no repercussions for the child. It gives us a tool with which to seize the product,” Haley said, adding that on the second or third offense, the department might issue a citation. “It would have to be someone who’s pretty resistant to our attempts to keep them from using tobacco.” Residents who spoke during public comment were particularly concerned about student access to vaping products. Several speakers referenced the 2017-18 California Healthy Kids Survey, which found that 26 percent of 11th
An increase in smoking and the use of e-cigarettes is pushing the city of Atascadero to expand its smoking ban and incorporate vaping into its smoking ordinances. The Atascadero Police Department presented potential ordinance changes to the City Council on June 25, saying that common complaints included smoking near schools, bars, and dining areas and in business districts as well

graders and 8 percent of ninth graders in the Atascadero Unified School District vape or use e-cigarettes. Julie Jones, who spoke during public comment, asked that the city join dozens of other cities in the state in banning the retail sale of any flavored tobacco within city limits. She said that she learned about the prevalence of students who vape at Atascadero High School after her son started his freshman year. Another resident with a son who attends Atascadero High told City Council members that students have a running joke about vaping on campus. “Kids keep saying that they need to remove the toilets and urinals from the vaping room,” she said. “That’s what they see the bathrooms as, the vaping rooms.” When City Council members asked Haley about the possibility of banning flavored tobacco sales within city limits, he said that it would be a pretty big step for Atascadero. “That’s probably in our future. I don’t know that Atascadero wants to be the cutting edge and face some of the legal lawsuits from some of the sellers,” Haley said. “My suspicion is that in the next couple of months, we will kind of see it play out in the courts.” Although the city was set to pass the ordinance on June 25, City Clerk Lara Christensen asked that the item be scheduled for another public hearing so the community could be notified about the “substantive” changes requested by the council. Those changes include banning smoking in open air dining areas, along Traffic Way downtown, and within 500 feet of the Colony Park Community Center. The next hearing is set for July 9. —Camillia Lanham NEWS continued page 6

Documenting hate in SLO
The San Luis Obispo Police Department has documented six hate crimes in the last two years, a finding it presented at a community meeting hosted by Women’s March San Luis Obispo on June 19. “I think what we found in analyzing this, and why we’re here today, is because it starts with the community and educating each other in how to report it and then making that step to make the report about what is happening,” SLO Police Department detective Suzie Walsh said. The Police Department established Police and Community Together (PACT) in 2017 with a goal of strengthening the department’s relationship with the community to effectively keep it safe. As part of this effort, the department also started documenting hate crimes and hate expression the same year. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in 2017, nearly 16,000 law enforcement agencies participated in the Hate Crime Statistics Program. Of these agencies, about 2,000 reported 7,175 hate crimes incidents. An analysis of those incidences revealed that 58 percent were motivated by race, 22 percent were prompted by religion, about 16 percent resulted from sexual-orientation bias, 2 percent were by disability bias, and 1 percent were motivated by gender. Walsh said that in 2017, the SLO police department had five hate crime cases and, in 2018 they had one—four of those
cases were crimes against people and two were against property. One of those incidents, Walsh said, was a male who called dispatch, slurred at the dispatch officer, and gave anti-female ideations. “He also threatened to kill one of the dispatchers because she was a woman. Not a good idea, it’s a recorded line, and the evidence is right there,” she said. “We filed charges to the [SLO County District Attorney’s Office].” In another case, a Hispanic woman reported a large swastika spray-painted on the heating cabinet of her garage with a dead rat under it. Walsh said there wasn’t any surveillance, witnesses, or leads to go on, but the department took the report and put extra patrol officers in the area. The department is also monitoring hate expression to analyze trends related to hate crime, prevent hate crime through education and intervention, and document incidents of hate expression for future related cases. Walsh said one example of hate expression is threatening letters that the city’s local mosque received from an individual who was already in custody at Atascadero State Hospital (ASH). The individual isn’t going to be released from ASH, but she said the police documented the incident just in case. If the residents from different areas of the county want their local law enforcement agency to start documenting hate crime and hate expression, Walsh said, she suggests they reach out and ask for the service. Gregory Howard, a Nipomo resident who attended the meeting, said he’s going
to contact his local law enforcement agency because he wants to have that connection with the department. “I want to become more informed and find out ways that we can combat [hate crime] via reporting and also spreading the word of inclusion and acceptance rather than separation,” Howard said. “Because we’re all better Americans.” —Karen Garcia
North County groups resist cannabis
A few dozen people inside Creston Community Church erupted in applause on June 19. A San Luis Obispo County official just told them that two cannabis projects proposed near their small North County town were dead because the applicants had withdrawn them. Though locals were happy about the two projects that are now off the table, a handful of others are still active and moving through the county’s cannabis review process. Attendees at this June 19 Creston Advisory Body meeting said they have felt blindsided by the incoming industry, overwhelmed by its complex regulatory system, and relatively powerless to fight

or control it. As the battle continues over what kind of legal cannabis activity should be allowed in unincorporated SLO County, rural community groups like the Creston Advisory Body hope to have a strong voice in the debate. Murray Powell, a Templeton Area Advisory Group (TAAG) delegate, attended the June 19 Creston meeting and suggested that advisory groups in North County come together to form a unified coalition on cannabis. The Creston delegates, led by chairperson Sheila Lyons, agreed it was a good idea. North County has five community advisory groups representing Santa Margarita, Creston, Templeton, Shandon, and San Miguel. “If we can coordinate these community advisory councils, we can maybe exert a little more influence,” Powell said.

sufficient scale to be economically viable and successful. But before any wind farms are visible in the Pacific Ocean, BOEM Public Affairs Officer Romero said there is still a lot of information, public comment, assessments, and an eventual environmental impact review that need to take place. “Any way you look at it, there’s a strong level of interest in the potential of offshore wind and development in California,” Romero said. “It’s going to take a lot of discussions and a lot of collaboration within the state, local agencies, and local communities, all of the ocean users from fishing communities to tribes, the Department of Defense, and the general public. “We’re committed to follow a transparent process very closely with our partners in the state of California,” he continued, “but also highly encourage the public and local communities to stay engaged.” ∆

residents; wind farm internships and trainee programs at local schools and universities; establishing a maintenance and monitoring facility for the project; and promoting local businesses during the construction phase. Castle Wind will also work with the city to generate “green solutions” with electric vehicles, charging stations, and other sustainable energy projects. Morro Bay Mayor John Headding submitted a letter to BOEM on behalf of the city, expressing support for a responsibly constructed wind turbine project. Headding noted the city’s concern with how the proposed project could affect the local commercial fishing industry, which is a core part of the community, history, and economy. In the letter, Morro Bay requested that BOEM conduct a multi-factor lease auction that takes into account local stakeholder input—including legally binding agreements between wind energy farm developers and local stakeholders— and ensures that any wind energy area off the coast of California be large enough to produce a project or projects of

BOEM and the other members of the task force, the call was also a time to gather comments and concerns from stakeholders. That included federal, state, and local agencies; fishing communities; and the public. On Jan. 14, Morro Bay Commercial Fisherman’s Organization President Tom Hafer submitted a comment letter on behalf of the organization stating that its members would rather not have any more fishing areas taken away from them. “We realize that our area has the best infrastructure available and is highly ranked as a strong possibility for a lease site. In anticipation of this likely inevitable occurrence, we have negotiated a mutual benefit agreement,” the letter stated. Hafer said Castle Wind has been the only offshore wind energy company that has attempted to meet with the organization to discuss the potential impacts a wind farm could have on the local commercial fishing community. Castle Wind is a joint venture between Trident Winds and EnBW North America Inc.—supplier of electricity, gas, water, and energy-related products and services. The Morro Bay Commercial Fisherman’s Organization and Castle Wind Energy worked together to figure out an area that would have the least impact on commercial fishing and came up with a site near Piedras Blancas. On Oct. 6, 2018, the organization signed a legally binding mutual benefit agreement with the developer. According to Castle Wind’s nomination document, the agreement includes creating a fund for infrastructure improvements to benefit the local commercial fishing industry, training and employment opportunities, and opportunities for the local commercial fishing representatives to provide input into the project’s design to minimize impacts to the industry. Caste Wind also signed a legally binding agreement with the city of Morro Bay on Nov. 29, 2018. That agreement included hiring qualified local

rident Winds initiated a conversation about putting wind turbines in the water off the Central Coast in 2016 when it submitted a lease request for the ocean floor. After three years—which were packed with meetings, public comment, and plenty of continued discussion—companies that want to develop wind farms in the Pacific Ocean will get their chance at leasing a spot in the water by 2020. Trident, a project development company, set its sights on the Central Coast because of its existing energy plants: Morro Bay Power Plant (decommissioned in February 2014) and Diablo Canyon Power Plant (expected to be decommissioned by 2025). The area also sparked interest because Morro Bay is ideally situated for a cable that could transmit power from the wind farm to shore and avoid impacts to the coastal zone. In 2016, Trident Winds entered into a non-binding memorandum of cooperation agreement with the city of Morro Bay. It was a symbolic way for the city to express its interest in the company’s proposed project. In the same year, a task force consisting of members from the California Energy Commission and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) was established to look into offshore wind as a potential source of renewable energy in the state. In 2018, the task force issued a call for information and nomination to assess the wind industry’s interest in three areas along the coast: Morro Bay, Diablo Canyon, and Humboldt. John Romero, BOEM’s public affairs officer, told New Times that the task force is now looking toward BOEM’s goal of an offshore wind lease sale in California in 2020 and other activities on the West Coast and Hawaii. “Right now, for California, we’re at the stage known as area identification. We had our call, and we did get 14 companies express[ing] interest in the areas that we identified in our call for information and nomination,” Romero said. The ocean is a busy place, so for

ecording music is a tedious business that happens out of the public’s eye, but after the music is recorded, mixed, and mastered, the idea is that people will hear it. For a lot of musicians, however, the most difficult part of the process is getting their sounds to eager ears—it’s especially hard if you’re a musician who doesn’t really play much in public. In our vibrant music scene, local songwriters are releasing amazing CDs all the time, and if they’re playing a live show, New Times is here to write a review and let people know where they can see them. We’ve had some incredible releases this year already. Atascadero resident Jon Bartel and his band Creston Line with their Fool’s Gold release (“Americana poet,” May 9) comes to mind, as does Cayucos resident Phil Lee and his new CD Phil Lee & The Horse He Rode in On (“One of a Kind,” April 4), both of which New Times covered, and both of which are available at local retailer Boo Boo Records and online. This story—or rather, three stories—is about local musicians with terrific CDs who you won’t see play album release shows, but these new albums are every bit as worthy of your listening as Bartel’s and Lee’s.
studio albums as well as numerous live albums with Neil Young, from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) to Psychedelic Pill (2012). What people don’t know is that Molina has a beautiful voice Atascadero resident Ralph Molina is and writes lovely pop songs. best known as the drummer for Crazy In March of this year, at the ripe age Horse, a band formed in 1962 as vocal of 74 (he turned 75 on June 22), Molina doo-wop group Danny & the Memories released Love & Inspiration, his debut that eventually changed its name to Crazy collection of 11 original compositions, but Horse in 1969, and went on to record 11 he has no plans to perform IMAGE COURTESY OF RALPH MOLINA the songs live or promote his album. “I’m a drummer,” he explained, “and I put all my time into everybody else’s music. That’s why it took me so long to record this. I told Neil, ‘I’ve spent years doing your music. Now I’m going to do mine.’” Molina actually started as a singer, performing doo-wop in groups in New York and later Florida. In fact, he sang harmonies in Danny & the Memories before they eventually morphed into a folk-rock act called The Psyrcle and later The Rockets before becoming Crazy Horse. Basically, Molina became a drummer “because all LOVE & INSPIRATION Ralph Molina gets back to his doo- the other instruments wop roots with this collection of easy-on-the-ears pop songs. were taken.”

SECRET SINGER Ralph Molina is best known as Neil Young’s Crazy Horse drummer, but he’s a wonderful singersongwriter—though he’s yet to perform his songs live in public.
His songs remind me of Jimmy Webb’s melodies, especially from the 1977 Art Garfunkel album Watermark. Molina’s lyrics wear their heart on their sleeve, like the words to “I Don’t Care”: “I don’t care if the whole world’s watching/ I don’t care if I make a fool of myself/ I’m gonna shout it from the highest mountain/ I want the whole wide world to know/ Just how much I love you/ I don’t care if the sun never rises again/ I don’t care if the rain ever ceases and stops/ I don’t care if there’s clouds above me/ I can weather any storm/ You cover me you are my umbrella.” “When I sit down, the melody comes first,” Molina explained. “Once I get a first verse then I know where the song is going. I write songs for people to relate to. I don’t want people to have to decipher what I’m writing. I just love love songs. I think women are my audience.” In his high falsetto backed with sparse yet lush instrumentation, the CD is the perfect album to put on during a quiet rainy afternoon. It’s also cool to see all the photos in the liner notes—a reminder of his five-plus-decade career in music. Plus, he’s got a lot of awesome guest musicians on the disc! You can buy Love & Inspiration at ralph.molina@bandcamp.com or through his website, ralphmolina.net. In case you’re wondering, Molina and Crazy Horse continue to play and tour with Neil Young because rust never sleeps.
The observational humorist
SLO Town resident Derek Senn is a full-time commercial real estate agent and father of two young, very active boys. He’s also funny as hell, and sometimes I think he writes songs for the sole purpose of busting his wife’s chops, like the title track to his new CD How Could A Man, whose cover features a photo of his then very pregnant wife, Melanie. “She’s a yogi/ She’s a reader/ She’s an unapologetic eater/ a carnivore poor pigs cows and chickens// She’s even-keeled until crossed/ that’s when dishes get tossed// Don’t bequeath your fine China to her// She’s a laundress/ She’s a gourmet chef/ An EMT, she won’t shy away/ She’ll suture cuts/ She’ll pick a tick right off your nuts/ If you puke your guts out she’s there to console you.” Senn’s delivery and song cadence is 100 percent original, and he sets up crazy rhymes like “skin” with “fallopian”: “She’s got perfect skin/ and when her fallopian/ tubes were tied God cried a tear.” Then the song flows into the chorus: “And how could a man not fall completely” sung three times without ever finishing the thought until the song’s end, “in love.” Senn, 47, didn’t really get serious about music until his 30s, but since then he’s written three really amazing full-length albums, each worth owning— Technological Breakthrough, Avuncular, and now this one. Since its release,
Human for a while too. He’d probably play live more, but he’s only got so much voice. “The work I do for hospice is vocally demanding, and I don’t have a naturally strong voice,” O’Connell said. “So basically, by the end of the week I often need to rest my voice. When I stop doing the hospice work, I will start gigging and singing in public again.” His new CD, Such Thin Wire, is available on CD Baby and Amazon. “The title is an image, a metaphor,” he added. “It’s one way to imagine the resilient but fragile force that binds us and connects us to one another and to this life.” PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM Many of the songs are informed and and Spotify, but I can sell one CD inspired by his hospice work, but not all. and make more money than what One that particularly struck me was I earn on Spotify in two years. “Come Away”: “Come away with me/ The I figured it out, and 1 million night is waiting, I will set you free/ Come Spotify listens in one year equals enter this Mystery// The secrets of your about $4,000.

I realized it’s a total waste of time,” he continued. “[Local NPR affiliate] KCBX [90.1 FM] plays me sometimes, but that’s because I’ve developed personal relationships with some of the DJs.”

things you will never know.” “That’s a song about reimagining death in contrast to the cultural image of the Grim Reaper,” O’Connell explained. “It seems like death is either sensationalized in this horrific way or it’s sentimentalized. So this is a reimagining of death as a lover coming for his beloved, so the image that I had when I wrote that song was of a groom carrying a bride across the threshold from life to death.” Likewise, the song “Dabada” is also about his experience witnessing the great transition from life to death. “It’s about sitting in the ashes with someone,” O’Connell said. “A lot of what we do in hospice is just being present. Can you be present to someone who’s suffering? It’s not about trying to make it better, per se, or trying to take away the spiritual or emotional pain. It’s more about honoring that pain. Someone is in a state of intense grief and loss, losing the ability to do what they’ve done, entering the state where they can see they’re moving toward the unknown.” What’s especially interesting about Such Thin Wire is how uplifting and rejuvenating it feels. It’s clear that O’Connell considers his hospice work an honor. He witnesses sacred and profound moments on a daily basis. Ultimately, to survive such deep emotions, he’s found the beauty in death, and he’s poured that understanding into this gorgeous CD.

THE GUIDE Chris O’Connell plays music five days a week, but unless you’re in Wilshire Hospice care, you’ll never hear him.
This is the end
If you’re listening to SLO Town resident Chris O’Connell, 60, playing live music, you’re going to die soon. O’Connell’s fulltime job is playing music for dying people in the care of Wilshire Hospice. O’Connell pioneered the use of live music for hospice patients on the Central Coast, first as a volunteer, but it was so successful it developed into a full-time thing. “Basically, I see four to six patients a day,” O’Connell said. “It’s beautiful work, and it’s also very challenging work.” O’Connell was the Morning Cup of Jazz DJ on KCBX for many years, and he played with percussionist and singer Timo Beckwith in a band called Human-
he’s done a little show at Kreuzberg, a four-song set at a Songwriters at Play showcase, and an 8 a.m. slot at last week’s Live Oak Music Festival, and that’s a lot for him! He hopes to play more, but with a family and a full-time job, when? When he’s not in his basement studio writing and recording, he’s in front of the computer trying to figure out how to get his music into the hands of people who might want it. He’s had, for instance, some luck getting reviewed overseas. “I guess the Brits understand me better,” he laughed. “I have to do all my own hustling, and I’ve found a few IMAGE COURTESY OF CHRIS O’CONNELL places that are willing to listen to CDs from unheralded artists.” In one case, another local musician, Patrick Hayes of the Dead Volts and Twang N Bang Records, put him in touch with the right person to get a review in No Depression: The Journal of Roots Music. Senn also discovered submithub.com, which helps musicians connect with music bloggers to get online reviews … for a price. Musicians buy dollar tokens, and for between $1 and $3 a blogger will listen and respond to your song within 48 hours with a yea or nay about blogging the tune. “I bought $100 worth of tokens,” Senn said, “and had about a 10 SUCH THIN WIRE With many songs inspired by his percent approval.

ai chi, short for tai ji quan, is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for its defense training, health benefits, and meditation. The art is sometimes practiced in a park by a group of people slowly moving their arms and legs from one side to another in one pose to the next. Dana Charvet’s advice to individuals interested in learning about the art is to choose the right teacher. He said you simply have to ask a teacher what place breathing has in their tai chi teachings. “Whether it’s mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual, we have a breath that matches it and we have a body posture for it, too,” Charvet said as he demonstrated breathing and moving in certain postures. It’s called the root of breathing, which is all about how you breathe—inhale and hold, exhale and hold—how those breaths can make you wake up or feel tired, and imagining taking a breath from one place on the body and exhaling it out another. CENTERED Dana Charvet has an extensive Charvet would know, as he was just inducted into the USA résumé in mixed martial arts and can now add Tai Chi instructor of the year to that list.

He’s even been the master chief instructor for American Self Defense Programs and a fight coordinator for ESPN when the mixed martial arts fighting program was in its beginning stages. He said he teaches because of the difference it makes in people’s lives. “To have somebody and share something with them and have them become better than they would have normally been without your help, that’s what helps me. It’s the deal I made with my teachers: ‘I’ll show you this but you have to show someone else,’ ” Charvet said.

Neighbors from hell There’s nothing worse than a bad neighbor
T
he recent torching of a Santa Maria mobile home—with the instigator murdering four people (two who were possibly abetting his eviction from the park) and his wife and son is headline news. It’s horrific and you’d think somehow completely preventable—and very much un-Central Coast-ish in general. Well, think again. It was some years ago that I wrote a “Neighbors from hell” piece for New Times, and despite this latest example, I have a doozy that is, also, quite current. If you’ve lived long enough, and moved enough, there’s little doubt you’ve experienced the Neighbor from hell (NFH). If not, consider yourself lucky. My wife and I have, in our 22-year-long marriage, lived in various places along the Central Coast. The locations have all been different with different outcomes. Towns include Orcutt, Grover Beach, San Luis Obispo, and Cambria. In an ideal world, neighbors would all 1. behave themselves 2. share this and that and 3. put on street fairs (or potluck dinners) for their neighbors. Or they would just keep to themselves. For the first three, dream on. For the latter, one would also hope they would avoid screaming in the middle of the night and having loud parties which should be part of “keeping to oneself.” Dense urban life is part of the problem as lot sizes grow smaller and natural buffers like yards and pathways shrink. I had a NFH in my current residence in Cambria—they regularly let the barking

dog out after 9 p.m. and conveniently “forgot” to bring him back in. Calls to Animal Control and midnight texts to the absentee owner/landlord eventually solved the problem. But, no, we didn’t have the penultimate NFH problem until we bought in a SLO mobile home park—a getaway from our active Cambria Airbnb. Want to know which park? It rhymes with freak-died (which is what our neighbors and us wished would have happened to the person in question). I’ll call him Chuck. He bought his place outright. When Chuck moved in right across from us, he seemed pleasant but early on started talking about some “people” who were trying to “get him” from a previous residence. Paranoid schizophrenia is a disease, but at that point we had no reason to doubt his stories, or his mental state. Then Chuck got a pit bull, briefly put a for sale sign up on his rig, and the dog bit a neighbor. And it gets worse. His immediate neighbor to the west was a very nice couple, pioneers in the park, who had lived there 30 years. You couldn’t ask for nicer people and we became fast friends. The husband even played Santa for the kids in the park at Christmastime, and the wife helped with community potlucks they both put on. Then Chuck started growing weed in his backyard, and smoking it. The distance between his place and the nice couple’s was only a few feet, so they

reported him to park management. The nice couple became Chuck’s Enemy No. 1. The neighbor to his east with whom he had become friendly later tried to dissasociate himself from Chuck, ensuring he, too, would become, well, Enemy No. 2. Pretty soon the whole block was avoiding Chuck. Then the almost unthinkable happened. Chuck, clearly unstable (and the latest research shows that dope smoking can exacerbate paranoid schizophrenia), wielded a potato gun with a coke bottle as ammunition and shot out the nice couple’s bedroom window, and then the back window of his new car. This was getting personal. My wife and I were arriving about the time a SWAT team of five San Luis Obispo Police Department officers were descending on the neighborhood and I personally saw them drag Chuck out and take him to jail. I had never seen anything like this. Probably the assumption by us and the neighbors was he was in the pokey for a long time, but being flush with unearned cash, his lawyer got him out and then ensued what turns out to be a one-year process in general to get an eviction order consummated, and/or a criminal conviction, in California courts. Soon Chuck returned, and continued his nightly monologs and accusations on his porch to no one in particular. The neighborhood was terrified of him. Word spread but it was natural that park management, newly installed and not expecting to have to deal with such a crisis so soon, laid somewhat low.
Everyone wanted to know when he would be evicted but there was going to have to be a hearing at the county courthouse, with neighbors invited to testify. More than half a dozen of us volunteered, including yours truly. We just felt it was our duty. The hearing lasted hours and was, by itself, a comical event—but no one was really laughing. Chuck had brought his latest dog, and was told to remove it from the court. Before testimony ensued, Chuck paced the hallways glaring at all of us and making “air” punches in our direction. We didn’t even feel safe there! Those who were originally planning to testify were not allowed in the court, so we were pretty much in the dark about what was going on. Chuck had finally burned all his bridges and we were told that he would remain in jail for awhile and that the eviction would go through fairly soon (and that he would be banned from the park and lose possession of his rig). A security guard was even posted for a time to make sure this “stuck.” For the first time in months, neighbors could feel safe, and we had formed a bond few neighborhoods have these days. But for us, it may have set us on a course to sell the home and find some other way to stay in SLO on our off days from the Airbnb. Suggestions welcome. The Chucks of the world might try a little harder to be good neighbors, and if they can’t be, then law enforcement and legal remedies need to be swifter and more demonstrative in their responses. And right now Chuck lives in another Central Coast community nearby. Wish the neighbors luck. ∆ Send comments through the editor at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Opinion Raising recycling rate isn’t fair How nice our SLO City Council had such great platitudes (as per New Time’s reporting, “SLO, Grover Beach raise recycling rates,” June 20) to justify yet another large increase in garbage charges. Staff recommended the increases (when has staff not recommended increasing fees, charges, or taxes?), so the council sheep baa’d into line. To blame the increases on removing waste from recyclables is disingenuous. Why are people confused about what’s recyclable? Because it keeps changing, but neither our “zero-waste” city nor the garbage company make much effort to keep us peons informed. So we think things we were told for years are recyclable are still recyclable. The history of SLO recycling explains a lot: first it was newspapers, aluminum cans, and glass bottles. Pretty simple. Then tin cans and plastics with certain numbers in their recycling symbols. Then we were told to put plastic bags, old foil, and everything paper, metal, glass, or plastic into our bins. If in doubt, we were

told, recycle it and cut waste. Now that’s an excuse for higher fees to remove non-recyclable “waste.” At a minimum, both the city and the garbage company should mail every household specific instructions about what is, and what isn’t, recyclable at least once a year. Any time there’s a change, that too should be noticed.

Cannabis is the devil
Well, well, well, where to begin? Let’s start with the beginning, which will be the June 19 Creston Advisory Body meeting held at the Creston Community Church. Aside from the ridiculous water worries from people with limited county aquifer knowledge, and the county just wanting as much money per drop as possible, the other interesting topic was? You guessed it! Cannabis and hemp. And yes, the self-proclaimed “gentleman farmer” was there. Mr. Small Town America himself, been here for five years and easily spotted. The one city slicker wearing his cowboy hat in church. Yes folks, all hat and no cattle, the self-avowed “corporate slave” himself. Mr. James Wortner. Now a consultant, for who Jim? Big Grape? Big Pharma? Who owns you? You have been here less than five years. You have your 8-acre vineyard, approved with water, of course! Now you want to tell people who have been here 25, 30, 50 years—generations—what they should and should not be able to do? Watching him and his righteous brethren clap and cheer, when they were told two cannabis applicants had withdrawn their applications. After they spent how much? Before being railroaded by some pious people living behind walls and cameras. After that glorious show of democracy, and/or hypocrisy, Mr. Wortner’s wife (I assume) snapped a pic of two seedy looking gentlemen in the back row. She showed him and he said, “Oh, I know those guys. We’ll get ‘em.” See, Jimmy boy, I actually grew up here. In Templeton, to be anatomically correct. In the ’80s and ’90s, and I still would not tell anyone who has been here longer or shorter than I what to do. Unless, it is actually harmful. Drunk drivers leaving wineries after tastings or concerts. That’s kind of a negative impact, wouldn’t you say Mr. Pharma/Biotech? Yes, myself and others have been here a long, long time. We ain’t “gentlemen farmers.” We’re locals. The ignorance surrounding this issue will ruin this issue unless the truly knowledgeable, respectfully silent majority stand up! Matthew Greer Templeton

emember the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes oil spill? Maybe not. As noted in the sociological study, “Silent Spill: the Organization of an Industrial Crisis,” it was “most likely the nation’s largest recorded oil spill,” and it went on for 38 years, but, “although it was known to oil workers in the field where it originated, to visiting regulators, and to locals who frequented the beach, the Guadalupe spill became troubling only when those involved could no longer view the sight and smell of petroleum as normal.” The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, where highly toxic leaks from Unocal’s oil field went unremarked for four decades while releasing an estimated 12 million gallons of diluent into the dunes, beach, groundwater, and ocean, are just south of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation area (ODSVRA). They constitute the southern portion of our local coastal dunes complex. You can access it via trails at Oso Flaco Lake. You probably know where I’m going with this. At least, I hope you do. Last Friday, the California Coastal Commission released the staff report for its upcoming review of State Parks’ compliance with its coastal development permit at the ODSVRA. I’m typing this on Saturday. I’m assuming that between then and the time you’re reading this, the local media— news and social—will have disseminated this basic fact: The Coastal Commission just looked at what’s been going on in the Oceano Dunes for the last 35 years and

for development of a contemporary park plan … for Oceano Dunes that recognizes current science, contemporary legal requirements, and good public policy that is in the best interests of all people.” I can’t pinpoint a moment or event that caused the shift in perception of the giant, decades-long oil spill under the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes and spurred all parties to action, but I predict history will record the posting of that Coastal Commission staff report on June 21, 2019, as the moment when a seismic shift began at the Oceano Dunes SVRA. This is where the analogy ends. The Guadalupe oil spill had no supporters, no lobbyists advocating for its continuation, no chambers of commerce defending it as an economic boon. By contrast, many folks long accustomed to doing all those things in defense of environmentally unsustainable off-road recreation at the Oceano Dunes will be turning out in numbers at the Coastal Commission’s July 11 meeting in SLO to tell the Coastal Commission to back off. Fists will pound podiums. Economic Armageddon will be promised. Legal action will be threatened. The “cast doubt on the science” strategy will be hauled out and turned up to 11. In the end, commissioners will either vote to implement the recommended permit amendments and put State Parks on notice that it’s time for environmental sanity to prevail in the dunes or they won’t. The only thing that can counter the large, high-pressure front fueled by

basically said that this can no longer be viewed as normal. (I’m paraphrasing. This is what they actually said: “It is time to start thinking about ways to transition the Park away from OHV use to other forms of public access and recreation. … In short, a park that is fully consistent with on-the-ground realities, and with today’s laws and requirements, does not include OHV use.”) Everything in the 65-page report has been known for years. But just as with the Guadalupe spill—known to oil workers, visiting regulators, and locals— everybody knew about the problems in the Oceano Dunes but just about everybody put this frame around it: How do we somewhat lessen the problems while ensuring the perpetuation of the activity that is causing the problems? But now hear this: “What is appropriate in the coastal zone necessarily changes and evolves over time, including with advancing scientific knowledge and more clarity regarding regulatory requirements to protect sensitive habitats, species, and other coastal resources. OHV use in [environmentally sensitive habitat areas], and the amount of problems engendered by it, renders this use not appropriate in this setting … . It is time
money that is about to settle on top of the Coastal Commission is a wave of people. That should include Nipomo Mesa residents struggling to draw a free breath, Oceano residents who have had enough of their town serving as an off-road pit stop, beach goers and bird watchers, nature lovers who grasp the urgency of saving the parts of nature we have left. It’s going to take all of us to make this stick. Before July 11, read the staff report. “Enough is enough” sums it up, but that also sums up the Declaration of Independence without really getting it. You need to really get it. Then you need to show up at the Embassy Suites at 333 Madonna Road, SLO, at 9 a.m. on Thursday, July 11, and fill out a speaker slip. You’ll have enough time to ask the commissioners to vote in support of the staff report’s recommendations and tell them why. Come early and be prepared to stay late. As a reward for your time and effort, you will be able to say forever after, “I was there when it started to change.” ∆ Andrew Christie is director of the Santa Lucia chapter of the Sierra Club.

Opinion
The Shredder
Hell’s coming W ell, who’s ready for a shit show? Yes, another one! What do you think this is? A non-polarized political climate? If something as benign as growing hemp can stir this county’s residents into a fitful tizzy of fear, just imagine what a four-decade long fight entering its apex will do. I’m not sure what happened to push California Coastal Commission staffers into finally harshing the buzz of Oceano Dunes State Vehicle Recreational Area off-roaders after putting it off for 40 years, but that’s what happened. After tip-toeing around the fact that State Parks has failed over and over again to comply with the conditions of its permit, the commission staff wants to bring the hammer down on off-road vehicle use at the dunes—and dare I say, it might just maybe be due in part to State Parks’ clear inability to manage the park’s popularity (like, at all). Why now? Umm, beach bonfire gettogether between staffs gone terribly wrong? One drink too many and Steve from State Parks called Joe from the commission a snowy plover—and that’s when the gloves came off. Nobody calls Joe a snowy plover! Nobody! No matter the reason, everybody who
has ever had anything to say about the Oceano Dunes will descend upon the Embassy Suites in San Luis Obispo on July 11, when the Coastal Commission hears its staff’s recommendations about what should happen at the off-road park. It’s not looking good for off-roaders. Like at all. And they are pissed! Perpetual broken record, factsquestioner, and Friends of the Oceano Dunes President Jim “Death by 1,000 Fenceposts” Suty posted a sweet video about the issue on June 22 telling dunes riders to prepare themselves. “It’s a long report, there’s some misinformation in there, some bad facts, which is common, and we’ll work through that,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s clear what they want to do, which is to remove OHV use from the park.” Well, Jim, be honest, isn’t it just the whole report that you don’t like? Staff definitely made it clear that something needs to change. The status quo, the report says, is no longer OK. And I don’t really need a report to tell me that. There are enough deaths, accidents, and other mishaps on the dunes that tell me the way things are operating isn’t working. Instead of getting your group to sue State Parks over every decision it tries
to make that actually might bring it into compliance with the conditions of its permit, maybe you could, like, be part of the solution—so the fight isn’t so painful and directed at what you might think is the inevitable. You have been saying the same thing for more than a decade and it hasn’t changed a damn thing. “Blah, blah, blah ... death by 1,000 fenceposts and we’re going to lose the park over time unless something changes,” is what you say every freakin’ time. But I guess it works as a rallying cry. The inevitable bullshit about how California is ruining the nation came up on the Facebook post. OMG, you automatons! Can’t you come up with something that someone hasn’t already said? “This state is ruined,” Curtis Kennedy stated in a post on the video’s thread. Boring! “Thanks Democrats for continuing to ruin this state,” Chris Rose added to the conversation. Yawn! Heard that one. Comments like that do nothing but draw lines in the sand—lines that you can’t drive your ATV across. And those lines are basically all your fault, as Mikey Maxwell, the beacon of wisdom in a crowded sea of idiocy stated: “You can honestly thank yourselves for this ... at least those of you who bring pallets to burn or leave your campground trashed or bring illegal fireworks ... YOU ruined it for everyone.” Or the drinking and driving in the middle of the night, the going 40 miles per hour faster than you should, and getting into head-on collisions that kill people.
Blaming environmentalists (although— and this is just between me and you— they’re no better than you off-road supporters; ya’ll are all crazy) isn’t going to accomplish anything. Maybe its time to police your own and then grab a seat at the compromise table before your group loses the thing it’s been fighting for due to stubbornness. And you, environmentalists. Don’t think you’re getting off the hook so easy. Every time somebody mutters a syllable about the dunes, you cry, “Armageddon is coming.” Look, we get it! You don’t like offroading or off-roaders. Duh! But seriously, you don’t get to make decisions for every Steve, Joe, and Patty. Democracy doesn’t work only for you. And, you, State Parks, this is all your fault. Seriously, it is. You know that don’t you? You have no idea how to properly manage the park, and every decision you make seems to put even bigger pallets into the flaming bonfire that is the Oceano Dunes. But don’t worry, everyone. Just like any issue at the dunes, there won’t be a decision made on the recommendations anytime soon. The commission is already prepping for lawsuits. It’s put an indemnification clause of sorts into the staff report asking State Parks to agree to reimburse the commission for any attorney’s fees it might incur defending whatever it decides. ∆ The Shredder thinks it’s time to become a land-use attorney.

Heshers unite! The Mid-State Metal Fest descends this weekend!
“F
ans of heavy metal music have created their own subculture, which encompasses more than just appreciation of the style of music. Fans affirm their membership in the subculture or scene by attending metal concerts—an activity seen as central to the subculture, buying albums, in some cases growing their hair long, wearing leather jackets and T-shirts with band names and logos, and most recently, by contributing to metal publications,” Wikipedia explains on its heavy metal subculture page, which is unintentionally hilarious, but I guess if you’re trying to explain the metal scene to your greatgrandparents, it might do the trick. This weekend, local heavy metal publication Hail Yourself! Metalzine will be joined by sponsors Sunken Tomb Records and Boo Boo Records to present Mid-State Metal Fest 2019, on Friday, June 28, at Sweet Springs in Los Osos, and Saturday, June 29, at The Graduate in SLO Town. According to ’zine publisher and festival organizer Krystal Otis, this is the first official heavy metal festival in SLO County history, which sounds right to me. We’ve certainly had some bands roll through town, but this is the first twoday event that’s focused entirely on metal music. All told, you can hear 14 bands, nine touring acts, and five local ones. On Friday at Sweeties, the action starts at 3 p.m. and attendees must be 21-and-older to attend ($20 tickets at my805tix.com). Hear Fetters (death/industrial from SLO), XLesionsX (grindcore from SLO), Slag (grindcore from San Jose), Cult Graves (death metal from San Jose), Disgusted Geist (sludgy death metal from SLO), Kommand (Death metal from LA), and headliner Swamp Witch (sludgy doom metal from Oakland). Swamp Witch formed in 2009 and lyrically focuses on rituals, the occult,
psychosis, ancient myth, and esoterica. They have one live album, the EP Gnosis, and two full-lengths: The Slithering Bog (2015) and Dead Rituals (2018). You can also expect a food truck and vendors’ area in the parking lot. On Saturday at The Grad, the music starts again at 3 p.m., and this one’s all ages ($20 tickets at my805tix.com; buy a full festival pass for $40 and get a free poster, but remember you have to be 21 to attend on Friday). It starts with Fratricide in their debut show (death metal from SLO), followed by Slege (black metal from San Jose), Chrome Ghost (sludgy doom metal from Sacramento), Cryptolith (thrash metal from SLO), Skulls (sludgy death metal from Santa Monica), Voyeur (death metal from Chico), and closes out with headliners Drouth (blackened death metal from Portland). Drouth is a relentlessly pounding band with the 2015 EP Vast, Loathsome and the 2017 full-length Knives, Labyrinths, Mirrors. There will be food and a vendor area in the beer garden. Your host, Hail Yourself! Metalzine, is “an underground heavy metal, craft beer, and dark art magazine based in San Luis Obispo, whose sole purpose is to strengthen and expand the heavy metal community here on the Central Coast.” It’s published three issues and has revived as a podcast the old KCPR metal show Slaytanic Carnage.
Lyle Lovett puts on such a great live show, and there’s no one better at quirky country or alt-gospel. He basically writes lyrics like no one else. One of my enduring favorites is his song “If I Had a Pony”: And if I had a boat/ I’d go out on the ocean/ And if I had a pony/ I’d ride him on my boat/ And we could all together/ Go out on the ocean/ I said me
upon my pony on my boat// Now if I were Roy Rogers/ I’d sure enough be single/ I couldn’t bring myself to marrying old Dale/ It’d just be me and Trigger/ We’d go ridin’ through them movies/ And we’d buy a boat and on the sea we’d sail.” In addition to his nearly 40-year music career, Lovett has enjoyed a long career IT’S LARGE, NOT BIG Lyle Lovett and His Large Band play as an actor, too, the Avila Beach Golf Resort on July 7. appearing in films such as The Player truly original and eclectic artist, and if (1992), Short Cuts (1993), Bastard Out of you haven’t seen him, your next chance is Carolina (1996), Cookie’s Fortune (1999), Sunday, July 7, when Lyle Lovett and and most recently the 2017 made-for-TV His Large Band play the Avila Beach film Harvey Can’t Mess With Texas.

What’s 50 percent comedian, 50 percent magician, and 100 percent dragon? I mean aside from someone who doesn’t know how math works. Yes, it is Piff the Magic Dragon, who brings his quirky act to the Fremont Theater on Friday, June 28 (7 p.m.; all ages; $42.56 to $66.02 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo.com). Piff reached a national audience appearing on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and now the Dragon-suited jokester “continues to win over audiences across the globe with his mythical mixture of wizardry, wit, and sarcasm that ignites a one-of-akind comedy magic show you must see to believe!” his bio proclaims. “Joined by his trusty sidekick, Mr. Piffles, The World’s Only Magic Performing Chihuahua, the dynamic duo performs nightly to soldout rooms at his residency at the worldfamous Flamingo Casino in Las Vegas in the newly renamed Piff the Magic Dragon Theatre. In addition to the residency, Piff along with Jade Simone, a genuine Las Vegas Showgirl, are currently performing across the U.S. and Canada as part of their 2019 tour The Lucky Dragon.” There you have it!

Melodrama parodies Mama Mia musical
O
h my cod! You’ve got to sea this show. Still with me? Then definitely surf on over to the Great American Melodrama for oceanic puns and Abba inspired song satires galore in the hilarious Mama Mia parody, Papa Pia. On stage While I love Mama Mia, it Papa Pia (followed by the All always seemed like a stretch that American Vaudeville Review) co-creators Benny Andersson will be on stage at the Great and Björn Ulvaeus’ listened American Melodrama through to a bunch of Abba songs and Sept. 21. Tickets range from thought, “You know what the $23 to $30. Starting July 20, Papa Pia and How The West story is here? A young girl Was Really Won will show in Greece searching for her on alternating nights. Visit biological father.” Welp, the americanmelodrama.com for Melodrama’s very own Dan tickets and more information. Schultz and Rachel Tietz (with additional material by Toni Anita Hull, Erik Stein, Jordan Richardson, and the company) took it up several notches with their version. Papa Pia is based on characters and events created in Under The Boardwalk by Stein and Richardson and of course is also a loose A WHOLE NEW WORLD What’s a gull like Sophie (Katie Pautler) and a clam like Skye (Henry parody of Mama Mia. Our show takes place in Fisher) to do when love strikes? Pismo Beach, where a young seagull, Sophie (Katie Pautler) and a stud muffin clam like literally laugh-out-loud funny. To mimic flying, her daughter’s wedding and trying to save the Skye (Henry Fisher) are about to be married. the bird characters in the cast glide about stage Pismo Pools from being closed to animals due Just like in Mama Mia, Sophia wants to know on ’90s inspired wheelie shoes and to show us to humans trying to build a resort. What’s a who her biological father is before her wedding how the musical’s lovebirds get ready to travel, bird to do? There’s also an appearance from the day, so she invites her mom’s former seagull a toy bird with a plastic clam in its mouth can beaus, Tom, Dick, and Harry (all played by Ben sassy Pepper the starfish, Donna’s friend from be seen at one point bobbing over the audience’s when she was a cool gull in a rock ’n’ roll band.

There’s also the B plot romance between Sophie’s college friend, Ali the blue jay (Tietz), and Sky’s friend, Eddie the oyster (Alejandro Gutierrez, Treasure Island), that results in a shiny pearl. The show opens brightly with the number “Good Morning Pismo Beach” (a nod to Hairspray’s “Good Morning Baltimore”) and closes with “Seagull Poo!” in place of Abba’s classic “Waterloo.” My only complaints for this show are that it felt a tad short and I wanted even more Abba inspired musical parodies (ahem, Tietz and Schultz, “Dancing Queen” and “Lay All Your Love On Me” and especially “Take A Chance On Me” with its reference to “when the pretty birds have flown” deserve full musical numbers! Not just shout outs in a musical medley). But for the time and the money Papa Pia is worth seeing at least once or even twice this summer. ∆

Homecoming Local artist returns to SLO Museum of Art

A
rtist Tony Girolo is from San Luis Obispo, born and raised, but his love of art began in Geneva in junior high, when his family moved there for a time when Girolo’s father was working abroad as a professor. “That showed me [art] is something viable that you can do,” Girolo said. As a teen, the local’s art even hung in the SLO Museum of Art when he won the Arne Nybak Painting Award at the museum’s annual countywide High School Art Portfolio Competition. After going to art school and moving away, Girolo is back in town and his art is back at the SLO Museum of Art as part of the Lost and Found: Paintings by Tony Girolo exhibit. “It was an ego boost,” Girolo said of having his art displayed as a teen. “I got this sense of identity, almost.” After graduating from SLO High School, Girolo continued his art education at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, including a summer study at the International School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture in Italy, before graduating in 2003. He later attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts to acquire his MFA in painting in 2006, before returning to San Luis Obispo to make his living as an artist and a teacher. These days, Girolo works mostly in acrylics and has a studio space at The Bunker SLO, a collaborative space for artists On and makers. He display describes his work Lost and Found: as abstract and Paintings by Tony Girolo figurative, which is on display at the SLO Museum of Art from is a nod to the June 28 to Aug. 18. An title of the show, Art at High Noon with Lost and Found, Girolo will be held at the which includes museum July 11. The his abstract and event is free and open to representational the public. Visit sloma. org for more information. paintings.
ABSTRACT Tony Girolo’s show, Lost and Found, partly refers to his mix of representational and abstract art, including pieces like Pastoral.
REPRESENTATIONAL Artist Tony Girolo’s day job as an eligibility worker for CenCal, and Welfare beneficiaries often inspire his art in pieces like Portrait of Coco.
“It’s like different moods,” he said. “I’ve always gone back and forth.” Girolo also works a day job as an eligibility worker for programs like CenCal for the Department of Social Services. “It’s been interesting how it’s fed the art because you’re dealing with human stories,” Girolo said. “It’s heavy stuff. You carry that with you.” Girolo feels that the title of his show has a double meaning, in addition to referring to his mix of artistic styles. “It summarizes the process,” he said. “I’m trying to be open. I want the work to unravel. There’s something that can be found in that that’s better than an intention.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley loses hair ties, a lot. Contact her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

osh Cooley TOY STORY 4 directs What’s it rated? G this fourth What’s it worth, Karen? Full price feature in the Toy What’s it worth, Caleb? Full price Story franchise. Where’s it showing? Downtown This time around, Centre, Sunset Drive-in, Regal Woody must 10, Galaxy, Park Cinemas convince his toy pals to welcome a new addition, Forky, into their fold, even though Forky is just a spork made into a toy in arts and crafts class by their child, Bonnie. When Bonnie’s family goes on a road trip, Forky takes off, so Woody and a few other toys go in search of him. (100 min.)
Caleb When I first heard Toy Story 4 was in the works, I felt betrayed and bewildered. Toy Story 3 had such a finality to it, why try to follow a nearly perfect ending to the series? The last time we saw Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), and the rest of the gang, Andy had donated them to a new owner before going away to college. It was a heartfelt goodbye, and a fitting close to the trilogy—back when we were under the impression that the Toy Story saga was indeed a trilogy. So why keep going? Well, money of course! Little did I know Pixar’s more noble intentions for this installment, which surprisingly opens the door to countless more adventures—for some characters more than others (no spoilers here though, don’t worry). I’m stoked to report Toy Story 4 isn’t the petty cash grab I was expecting, and believe it or not, I actually enjoyed it even more than Toy Story 3. Fight me! Neither film is on par with 1 or 2 in my book, but wow does this one get pretty darn close. There’s a really genuine story here, which can’t be said of too many fourth entries in a series. Karen The gang’s back together in the little loving hands of Bonnie but the experience is a little different for Woody. He isn’t the favorite toy anymore—I mean, he had competition with Buzz years ago—but Woody isn’t being picked as often as the other toys these days. And he isn’t really the leader of the pack

anymore, either. Dolly (Bonnie Hunt), a veteran of Bonnie’s room, calls the shots. Bonnie is going to start kindergarten and Woody thinks he should go with her to watch over her. It isn’t this cowboy’s first rodeo. But Bonnie comes home with not one toy but two. The new arts and craft project come to life is named Forky (Tony Hale). He was made out of a spork, play dough, a popsicle stick, and googly-eyes, and a fuzzy pipe cleaner. But how is Forky alive? I don’t know, but I’m here for it. Forky doesn’t understand that his new purpose is to be a toy; he thinks he belongs in the trash. So he tries numerous times to make a dive into the trash can but Woody isn’t going to let him go—Bonnie wrote her name at the bottom of his popsicle feet, after all. The adventure begins when Forky throws himself out the window of the family RV and Woody believes his sole mission is to make sure Forky stays in Bonnie’s life. Caleb The Forky stuff is just the tip of the iceberg though. There’s so much going on in this movie. And in my opinion, Forky gets upstaged by at least four other new characters. I’ll start with the villain, a 1950s pull-string doll named Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks), who Woody and Forky encounter in an antique store on their journey back to Bonnie. Just in
FAVORITE DEPUTY Forky is coming to grips with the fact that he’s a talking spork and Woody is determined to make him understand that his new purpose is creating memories with Bonnie.
case the creepy doll vibe isn’t already eerie enough, “Midnight, the Stars, and You”— you know, the ballroom song from The Shining—starts playing as Gabby Gabby sits in a baby carriage, steered by her posse of demented ventriloquist dummies. I won’t reveal her insidious intentions, but like most memorable villains, things aren’t so black and white. The film does a great job of exploring her side of the story, and we come to sympathize with Gabby Gabby’s plight, just not the means she uses to rectify it. Some other great new characters include a perfectly cast Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves), a Canadian daredevil action figure, and the duo of Ducky and Bunny (Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, respectively), a couple of plush toys stuck on the prize rack at a carnival. Those three collectively deliver the best punch lines in the movie, hands down. But in all seriousness, the most badass character in the film is series veteran Bo Peep (Annie Potts), who gets a well-deserved return to the franchise. Karen It wouldn’t be a Toy Story film without some new friends who were perfectly cast. But it was so nice to see the familiar faces and hear the voices of the original Toy Story crew. For me, this story stood out from the rest of the franchise because it gave a whole other feeling to toys. First our minds were blown by toys that thought and lived beyond the worlds we gave them when we played with them—and fought over who was the favorite. We learned that toys could feel abandoned once we dropped them off to Goodwill and then given purpose once again when another child gets them. But what happens when that’s not enough? Toy Story 4 was definitely a well thought out story that we didn’t know we needed. Getting to follow Woody on his life adventure to finding himself was wonderful. I’m glad another generation of kids can fall in love with the gang. To infinity and beyond! ∆ Split Screen was written by Staff Writer Karen Garcia and Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood this week.

The Palm John Chester (Lost in Woonsocket, Rock Prophecies) directs this documentary about his and his wife’s developing a sustainable farm on a 200-acre patch of depleted ground in Ventura County. They work to rehabilitate the soil, plant orchards and row crops, and raise a variety of animals. Hoping to live in harmony with nature, they discover that nature isn’t always interested in living in harmony with them. John and Molly Chester are idealists through and through. They want to live a life of purpose, and Molly—a personal chef who records online cooking tutorials—dreams of living on a farm and raising all their food. When their rescue dog, Todd, gets them evicted from their apartment for excessive barking, they see it as an opportunity to make Molly’s dream come true. Through investors who share their vision of a sustainable agriculture model, they raise enough money to buy Apricot Lane Farms, a dusty patch of earth that had been foreclosed on twice. They had no experience. What made them think they’d be able to make this farm work in the midst of California’s brutal drought? Alan York—a soil, plant, and biodynamic consultant—told them it was possible to rejuvenate the land, and a lot of the film has to do with their ongoing struggle to create the fertile ground that York envisions. It’s an inspiring dream, and York promises them that when balance is restored to the land, profitability will come. The Chesters can’t seem to explain that to the flocks of birds that feast on their stone fruit trees; the gophers that eat the roots out from under the trees, killing them; and the coyotes

who slaughter their chickens—initially the only profitable part of the farm—en masse. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll watch in wonder through the magic of birth, death, and everything in between. Mostly, I was reminded of how unbelievably difficult farming can be and the deep work ethic and perseverance it takes to continue in the face of adversity. For anyone with a passing interest in food or farming, this is a must-see. The story’s constant underlying theme is finding balance, and its overarching message is that we can, through hard work and ingenuity, return our entire world to harmonious balance. What the Chesters did to these 200 acres is nothing short of amazing and exactly what humanity needs to do to the entire planet, but current corporate agriculture puts profitability before sustainability. As inspiring as the film is, it’s hard to imagine
BLAST FROM THE THE MATRIX
When? 1999 What’s it rated? R Where’s it available? Netflix
I
have something I must confess: I had never seen The Matrix in its entirety, until recently. Granted, when the film came out in 1999, I was only 7. The Matrix is set in the same year. Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) holds down your average desk job, but he also has a side gig of computer hacking and goes by the name Neo. Something about Neo’s metropolitan city doesn’t sit well with him, and during his hacking escapades, he repeatedly runs into the cryptic phrase “the Matrix.” He’s mysteriously contacted by Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), who tells him a man named Morpheus can explain the meaning of the message. Of course, Neo’s curiosity is piqued, and he meets up with the dude. Morpheus then gives his famous spiel about taking the blue pill and essentially conforming with what society tells you or take the red pill to see the truth behind the Matrix.
manifesting this form of agriculture worldwide. We have too many mouths to feed and an economic system—capitalism—that demands constant expansion to function. Hence, our very way of life is unsustainable, and to meet demand, our Big Ag food system generates inexpensive food that sustainable farming can’t compete with. I guess what it comes down to are small choices—choices to pay more for produce from local growers, choices to source meat locally from humane farmers, and choices to reject Tyson, Foster Farms, Monsanto, and other corporate ag entities that are part of the problem. Anything’s better than nothing. Obviously, we can’t all be like the Chesters, but we can strive to be part of the solution, however small that part might be. Billions of people making small choices can have a big impact, and watching this documentary might Duh, Neo downs the red pill and awakens inside a liquid-filled pod next to countless other humans who are connected by cables to an electrical system. Yup, it happened, people! Machines are taking human’s bioelectric energy and, in turn, putting them in a simulation made to feel like they’re living in 1999 when in reality it’s 2199. Morepheus believes Neo is “the one” that will unplug mankind and restore the people to physical and psychological freedom. Let me pause for a second here. Morpheus, if you didn’t already know, was the son of Hypnos, which is where hypnosis comes from. It’s said that to be in the arms of Morpheus is to be asleep. What if this is all a dream? Jokes aside, while this film broke the boundaries of 360-degree filming—not to mention a mind-binding plot—the acting is a cry for help. Maybe the characters are meant to have no feeling when they interact. I mean, I would be salty too if machines were controlling my reality. I can’t help but laugh at Reeves’ dry performance, and the script overall. But I enjoyed the idea of having the ability to control your mind, walk on walls, and ninjakick the crap out of people. For the end of the ’90s, the film was definitely ahead of its time with the actionpacked graphics. In my opinion, the script and the predictability of the story was laughable. It did leave me with a ton of questions: What happens to the people who are saved from

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.

THE DEAD DON’T DIE What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? The Palm Writer-director Jim Jarmusch (Stranger Than Paradise, Dead Man, Broken Flowers, Only Lovers Left Alive, Paterson) helms this horror-comedy about a zombie uprising in the normally peaceful and sleepy town of Centerville. Can local Police Chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray) and officer Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver) stave off the horde? Will junior policewoman Mindy Morrison (Chloë Sevigny) be of any help? How about strange new undertaker Zelda Winston (Tilda Swinton)? And what’s up with Hermit Bob (Tom Waits)? Over his long, strange career, Jarmusch has earned the auteur title. He’s unquestionably an amazing writerdirector. And this cast? Holy hell, that’s a lot of talent on screen! And yet this film seems to squander its potential. Its pace borders on glacial. It’s so deadpan that even the non-zombies feel devoid of life. Ultimately, its message—which by the way feels tacked on at the end by Tom Waits’ voiceover narration—seems to be that humanity has been zombified by our shallow, capitalist, consumerist culture; anesthetized by our vices; and our utter annihilation is much deserved. That’s pretty heavy for a zom-com. Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland were a lot more fun than this dour affair. Of course, between the cast and witty writing, the film is still worth watching, I just wish it would have been better, and I wish Jarmusch had found a more satisfying ending than this dizzyingly contrived one. Essentially what we have here is a zombie satire, and a very self-aware and self-reflexive one at that. When we first hear Sturgill Simpson’s theme song on the radio, Driver’s Ronnie says something like, “Oh, I love this song,” and Murray’s Cliff says, “It sounds really familiar,” to which Ronnie says, “That’s because it’s the theme song.” Huh? Later, after Cliff berates Ronnie for continuously saying, “I don’t think this is going to end well,” Cliff yells, “How do you know?” Ronnie says, “I read the whole script.” These are some strange choices. Hermit Bob seems to be the only character able to see human culture for the mess that it is; hence, he lives alone in the woods away from people. Then there’s the odd, otherworldly Scottish undertaker Zelda, which Swinton is clearly having a lot of fun playing. These bizarre characters are enough to keep the film interesting even as it drags along, one shaky, stilted zombie step at a time toward its weird conclusion. Maybe seeing 6-foot-2 Adam Driver pull up in a tiny red convertible Smart Car makes it all worth it. Maybe not. I’m pretty much down to see anything with Bill Murray in it; he’s always worth watching. He’s playing himself again in the upcoming Zombieland sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, which is currently in post production. Should be interesting considering he died in the first one. Of course, that’s the thing about zombies. They don’t stay dead. As for this film, it sure doesn’t seem like it’s going to be remembered as one of Jarmusch’s better films.

Maybe I’m missing something because Jarmusch is usually a really smart director. It’s certainly fun to see punk rocker Iggy Pop as one of the coffee craving zombies, and Sturgill Simpson has a cameo as Guitar Zombie. Steve Buscemi as the racist Farmer Frank Miller is interesting, too, as is Danny Glover’s hangdog Hank Thompson. Caleb Landry Jones stars as quirky gas station/memorabilia store owner Bobby Wiggins, who falls for “big city hipster from Cleveland” Zoe (Selena Gomez), who’s passing through town. All of these various characters and cameos have their moments on screen, but the sum of the parts don’t really add up to much. Should you go see this? Yes, if you like Jarmusch, Murray, and zombies. Will you be blown away by how awesome it all is? Nope. No way. I’m filing this film away as a curiosity. (105 min.) —Glen

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Park Monarch, a cryptozoological agency, tries to deal with the emergence of monsters—Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah—who are battling for supremacy on Earth. The sequel to 2014’s Godzilla is co-written and directed by Michael Dougherty (Krampus, Trick ’r Treat).
If all you want out of a movie is some awesome CGI Kaiju battles, King of the Monsters might do the trick, but the “story” surrounding the said battles is a semi-coherent mess and an excuse for giant monsters to wage epic battles. Secret underwater cities, mythological texts, outer space aliens, a plan to revive Godzilla by letting him feed off of radiation from a nuclear bomb—you name it, this film’s thrown it into the mix. If you like this kind of stuff, you’re in luck—the film tees up a sequel. Will Godzilla battle King Kong? Keep spending money on these films and it’s guaranteed. (131 min.) —Glen
LATE NIGHT
What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Park, Stadium 10 Nisha Ganatra (Cake, Chutney Popcorn) has directed plenty of episodes of well-known TV series like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Fresh Off the Boat, Dear White People, and The Mindy Project. She’s now calling the shots on her third directorial endeavor with Late Night and teaming up with Mindy Kaling who writes, produces, and stars in the film. While the movie is a tad predictable, the script is smart, funny, and uplifting. What makes this story refreshing is the sprinkle of realism in a fantasized world. The characters deal with the #MeToo movement, diversity (or lack thereof), ageism, and a male-dominated workplace. Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is a legendary host on a late-night talk show, and while she may be warm to her guests on camera, she’s pretty cold and literally couldn’t care less about anything or anyone else. She embodies the “off with your head” vibe. Except for her husband Walter Lovell (John Lithgow), who’s suffering from a debilitating disease. Newbury hasn’t switched up her program to get with the times of “on the street” segments, silly games to play with celebrities, or having unconventional guests, like YouTube stars. She’s also accused of being a woman who hates women. The mold she’s been in for so long

is threatening her stay on the show. The network is giving her the boot, but Newbury is ready to put up a fight for the late night slot she’s created. Part of that fight is hiring literally any woman, and that just so happens to be Molly Patel (Kaling), a chemical plant worker who landed the job interview on a whim. Patel is hired as the only woman in an all-male writers’ room. While she hilariously disrupts the brotherhood that’s going on in the company, Patel is also fighting her own battle of showing everyone she’s more than just a diversity hire. Patel is determined to help Newbury revive the show and her career. Honestly, this story has it all and deals with it as realistically as it can, with plenty of laughs along the way. It should also be noted that Kaling wrote the story specifically with Thompson in mind as the lead character, who was the perfect person for the part—so maybe if you, like Kaling, put your dreams out into the universe, they will come true. But that’s not to gloss over working your butt off as a writer on a late-night show, getting in the writers’ room of an evening time slot (The Office), and eventually creating your own TV series.

Santa Cruz-ing Taking a small trip to another coastal community rich in surf, sun, and outdoor novelties
I
don’t travel far very often. I mostly daytrip or spend a three-day weekend out of town. It’s a nice break from the everyday, and I get to learn more about the hidden treasures in sunny California. At the beginning of June, my boyfriend and I decided to take an impromptu day trip to Santa Cruz. It’s about a two and a half hour drive from SLO depending on when you hit the road. We leave on this adventure at 7 a.m. so traffic is light and once we hit Capitola, we’re immediately greeted by a refreshingly overcast sky after spending a few days in the heat. Our first stop is 41st Avenue, lined with surf and skate shops, boutiques, and plenty of eateries. We stop at Zameen At The Point for lunch and the quaint madeto-order Mediterranean food restaurant is delicious. I order the day’s special: a cod fish pita wrap filled with mixed greens, pickled red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese. My boyfriend ordered a gyro and we split an order of feta fries. The wraps are huge, and with a heap of fries, we are stuffed. We’re lucky enough to be shown around the area by two Santa Cruz veterans who work for the original O’Neill wetsuit company. They point out Pleasure Point, Cliff Beach, and the neighborhood. We also see Jack O’Neill’s (the founder of O’Neill) house that is still standing, a fun fact for you surf fanatics out there. It’s pretty rad. I didn’t have the guts to tell them I don’t know how to swim, as the beaches they show us are surf spots. After the tour, we make our way to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, a must. We mostly people watch and talk as the sun finally makes an appearance through the clouds. Kids run over to the pier games to try their hand at winning a stuffed animal. We hear the screams of kids on the Pirate Ship ride, but we decide not to ride anything, as we’re short on time. We do manage to find the indoor mini-golf, Buccaneer Bay Mini Golf. At $7 per person, the two-story 18-hole course is so fun. There’s even a portion of the game that’s “inside the ship” and is completely glow in the dark. After a fun game, it’s about 6 p.m. and we have a long, traffic-filled car ride home, which is littered with four different car accidents. So that 2 hour and 30 minute drive turns into almost 5 hours. The good thing is we have music, each other, and my favorite storytelling podcast, The Moth. Cheers, to another fun day checking out a new place with my favorite human. Δ

inalmente, we have our own bite of Little Italy, in Tin City no less, and it’s as authentically Italian as Lidia Bastianich’s red sauce—so right on, in fact, that people whose favorite food is pasta need to make Etto Pastificio a weekly stop if it isn’t already. On Saturday, June 29, Etto is toasting their one-year anniversary. They definitely have reason to celebrate. They are the only pastificio in the county. They are also the only pasta factory out of only a few in California (and correct me if I’m wrong) that use organic durum semolina. Old-school Italians, foodie purists, wannabe expats romantically obsessed with Italian culture (me), and parents looking to nourish their carb-loving bambini (also me) are among their clientele. My son Tony loves Etto ravioli and cream sauce so much that he goes back for fourths.

D INE ’N’ DISH Morro Bay House of Jerky
An entire brick and mortar shop dedicated to beef jerky? My son Luke calls beef jerky ‘hard meat’ and since our family considers beef jerky a food group, I finally caved. Plus, the shop is owned by local Morro Bay dad, Jeff Eckles. I was mysteriously drawn to the fact that the picture on the House of Jerky bag is a cowboy dude playing a triangle. I also had to chuckle that they sell vegan beef jerky, which, you guessed it, is made from mushrooms. We tried both the Natural Beef Jerky and the Teriyaki, but they also come in Black Pepper, Sweet & Spicy, and Hot in 4-ounce ($10.99), 8-ounce ($19.99) and 16-ounce ($34.99). The minimally processed house jerky is 100 percent natural U.S. sourced top round beef made without MSG, nitrates, or preservatives. The Natural was on the drier side, but nice and chewy. The Teriyaki was tender, moist, and full of sweet soy flavor. I asked my sons how much they loved the jerky, which was gone in about 20 minutes (no joke). They both gave a 10 out of 10. This shop is worth a visit to choose your favorite jerky and to participate in a campy, even adventurous experience because there are plenty of other exotic brands and types (venison, whiskey rabbit, alligator, and wild boar, too). Morro Bay House of Jerky is located at 1130 Front St. across from the big rock in Morro Bay.
