Department of Interior to hold meeting in SLO on fracking plan

U

.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) officials will visit San Luis Obispo later this month to take public comment on a pending federal plan to grow oil and gas production on public lands in Central California.

The meeting—to be held on May 22 in the Hilton Embassy Suites in SLO from 6 to 8 p.m.—will center on a BLM environmental document that outlines the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) on 1.6 million acres of lands in eight counties, including SLO and Santa Barbara.

Nearly 125,000 acres of SLO County lands are part of the review—including high-profile areas like Montaña de Oro State Park, Morro Rock, and parcels near the Carrizo Plain, Lake Nacimiento, and Camp Roberts.

The BLM’s draft environmental impact statement is the result of years of litigation between the BLM and environmental watchdogs Los Padres ForestWatch and the Center for Biological Diversity. In 2017, the nonprofits won a lawsuit that forced the BLM to take “a hard look” at fracking impacts before implementing its next resource management plan.

“This is really the BLM fulfilling our commitment to the court order,” BLM Public Affairs Specialist Serena Baker told New Times.

“This document itself does not open any new lands to oil and gas development.”

Per the document, in the 10-year life of BLM Bakersfield’s resource management plan, the agency estimates that as many as 400 new wells will be drilled, of which as many as 40 will be fracked. The report claims that on most fronts, the expansion will have “negligible” environmental impacts, including to water resources and seismic activity (like induced earthquakes).

The report also states that the lands most likely to be leased for new drilling would be in or near four existing oil fields: Lost Hills, Buena Vista, Bakersfield, and Seep—in Kern

NEW DRILLING On May 22, SLO County residents will get a chance to comment on the U.S. Bureau of Management’s plans to expand oil and gas production on public lands in Central California (Kern County pictured here). The federal agency will hold a public meeting at Embassy Suites in SLO on the subject.

and Ventura counties. Any new leases that are pursued, the report continues, will require further, site-specific environmental review.

“Just because [SLO County] areas may be included in the analysis, does not mean there would be development in those areas,” Baker noted.

Los Padres ForestWatch and Center for Biological Diversity leaders blasted the BLM’s report as insufficient and lacking detail, and threatened to take the agency back to court. ForestWatch Executive Director Jeff Kuyper said he found the draft document “disappointing” and “frustrating.”

“We’re right back to where we started,” Kuyper said, “with an environmental document that is inadequate and a plan that will ultimately open our region’s iconic landscapes to drilling and fracking.”

The release of the report also drew strong criticism from political leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom and local U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara).

“Reckless and irresponsible don’t even begin to describe this move,” Newsom tweeted on April 27. “The attacks on California and our values by this administration continue. ... We

need a future free of fossil fuels—not the other way around.”

In a written statement, Carbajal called the BLM’s plans “a step backward” in the battle against climate change.

“The Central Coast is already facing grave impacts from climate change, including rising sea levels, drought, and nearly year-round fire season,” Carbajal said. “The Central Coast has a long history of environmental stewardship, and we must continue speaking out to protect our clean air, open spaces, and wildlife habitat.”

At the BLM’s public meeting in SLO, local residents will have a chance to comment for two minutes each, as well as hear a presentation by BLM officials.

A 45-day public comment period on the draft environmental impact statement concludes on June 10. Baker said speakers’ in-person comments will not be added to the record, so she encouraged residents to also submit comments in writing.

The agency will hold meetings in Kern County on May 21 and Santa Barbara (at Santa Barbara City College) on May 23 as well. Δ —Peter Johnson

Community starts a fundraiser to help a family seeking asylum

They were regularly attending monthly appointments at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Santa Maria to notify them of their presence in the state while they awaited a court hearing.

During that time, Jones said, the family stayed in a room in someone’s home. On June 26, the 14-year-old daughter was attacked by a woman with a knife, according to court documents. The incident resulted in the family moving and notifying the ICE office of their address change, however ICE didn’t pass that information onto the Los Angeles Immigration Court.

Jones said the court mailed the family’s asylum hearing date to their old address.

Local community members are working to assist a family that recently fled violence in Mexico by creating a GoFundMe page to pay for their legal fees.

New Times isn’t using the names of the mother, her 14-year-old daughter, or her 10-year-old son as they are currently in the process of seeking asylum or a U-visa.

Julie Jones, creator of the Brave Mom, Hopeful Children GoFundMe page, said the family came to the United States in April 2018 fleeing violence in Mexico. Due to a misunderstanding, the family’s asylum status is up in the air and they need funds to pay for legal assistance.

meeting, which was scheduled during the government shutdown, the ICE office was closed, and the family wasn’t notified of their court hearing date.

Jones said this put the family’s immigration status in jeopardy. They are currently working with a lawyer to hopefully secure an asylum status or a U-visa. She learned about the family through a former student—Jones taught a master’s counseling class at the University of La Verne—Karla Robles, who’s a counselor with the San Luis Coastal District, where the children go to school.

She met the 10-year-old boy at school, and Robles said he felt comfortable enough to tell her his story.

Robles said Jones and other community members have been working together to help the family.

“Its important because if a student doesn’t feel safe and cared for and supported, we can’t ask them to learn when we know they’re coming in with trauma,” she said.

The mother’s husband, Jones said, was assaulted and killed by an unknown group of gang members for his truck.

Days later, the mother was approached by an unknown individual accusing her of working with the local police department to identify the gang members who killed her husband, Jones said.

The family fled to the U.S., asked for asylum, and moved to San Luis Obispo.

“Contrary to what the president says about immigrants, specifically about Mexican people, this mom and her children, they are not criminals, they are not rapists, they are not stealing jobs away from people. In fact, they came here, and they became victims of violence themselves, her daughter, especially, and it affects their entire family unit,” Robles said. Δ —Karen Garcia

Grover Beach police find no wrongdoing at 805 Beach Breaks

As Santa Barbara County authorities press charges against a Grover Beach dispensary owner, Grover Beach police say their local investigation of 805 Beach Breaks came up clean.

“We did not discover violations of our city ordinance or state law at the retail facility,” Grover Beach City Manager Matthew Bronson told New Times. “Our investigation did not identify any criminal activity that occurred at the store.”

Grover Beach launched its investigation after the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at the cannabis dispensary on March 28, closing the shop for the morning.

In the search, Sheriff’s deputies seized records and cannabis products that they claimed were sourced from a large, illegal grow operation in Los Alamos.

Brian Touey, 805 Beach Breaks co-owner, was alleged as one of three growers at the Los Alamos site— reportedly the largest the county had ever investigated, housing hundreds of thousands of plants.

On April 16, the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office charged Touey with unlawful cultivation and sale of cannabis, and perjury. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on April 23.

In Grover Beach, Bronson said city

police reviewed the shop’s operations and “materials collected by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office”—but found no violations occurred locally.

Grover Beach authorities concluded that the products seized in the March 28 search “were legitimate products that were accurately reflected in business records,” according to Bronson. In previous statements, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office also noted that the dispensary products, despite being sourced from Los Alamos, “appeared to be labeled to meet the state standards for retail sale.”

The dispensary will continue operating under its current city permits.

Neither Touey’s attorney nor store management returned a request for comment from New Times before press time.

805 Beach Breaks was the first brickand-mortar cannabis dispensary to open in SLO County in 2018. It’s one of two cannabis storefronts operating in the city and SLO County.

Haborwalk Plaza plan goes before Coastal Commission

A two-story mixed-use commercial project set for Morro Bay’s Embarcadero will go before the California Coastal Commission on May 8.

If the proposed project is approved by the commission and granted a coastal development permit, the existing Off the Hook building will be demolished and replaced by Harborwalk Plaza.

Morro Bay Community Development Director Scot Graham told New Times there are a lot of changes happening on the waterfront that are exciting for the city. He said that the city is encouraging development on under-utilized parcels along the waterfront through the city’s economic development and strategic plans. “[The Off the Hook] building was at the end of its useful life, and it needed to be redeveloped. Having another project that comes in and renews that location and provides visitor-serving amenities makes sense on the waterfront,” Graham said.

According to the commission staff report, the project is slated to have retail and restaurant space, and it’s envisioned as a market hall made up of multiple food vendors on the first floor.

It also includes plans for three public bathrooms, outdoor seating, and a remodeled courtyard with an expanded children’s play area. In addition, the project proposes a series of public access improvements, including new public access walkways along the building’s bay-facing front and along the southern side of the building that connects to the Embarcadero.

An eight-room hotel is planned to occupy the second floor. It’s conditioned to provide 25 percent of its units at a rate equal to the city’s low-cost overnight accommodations. The project’s applicant, TLC Family Enterprise, is proposing six of the rooms would be high-cost, about $197 per-night, one would be a low-cost rate of $145 per night, and one would be offered at or below the low-cost threshold for 240 days per year.

The Morro Bay City Council approved the proposed project at an Oct. 9, 2018, meeting.

Plains All American fined $3.3 million for 2015 oil spill On April 25, Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge James Herman ordered Plains All American Pipeline to pay $3.3 million in fines for the 2015 pipeline rupture that spilled thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean and onto the shoreline of Refugio State Beach.

The fines were imposed following a September 2018 trial where a jury found Plains All American guilty of one felony and eight misdemeanors. The oil spill is a felony, while the misdemeanor charges include six counts of killing marine mammals, sea birds, and other marine life; one count of failing to follow its own spill plan and notify emergency response agencies; and one count of violating a county ordinance prohibiting oil spills.

According to county District Attorney Joyce Dudley, the court found that Plains All American knew or should have known that the pipeline would rupture. Evidence presented at the trial demonstrated that more than 140,000 gallons of oil were released from the pipeline; more than 100,000 gallons of oil were never recovered, according to the DA’s Office.

In her testimony at the sentencing hearing, Linda Krop, chief counsel of the Santa Barbara-based Environmental Defense Center, said the spill killed hundreds of animals and damaged beaches, dunes, and other habitats.

“The spill had a devastating impact on the environment and the lives of those who care about the health of our coastal and marine ecosystems,” Krop said.

Blake Kopcho, an oceans campaigner with the Center for Biological Diversity, said that Plains All American deserved a more severe punishment.

“Plains’ criminal negligence deserved a tougher sentence, but even more important is that the company doesn’t deserve another chance to spill again,” Kopcho said. “Santa Barbara officials shouldn’t let Plains and ExxonMobil bring those decrepit platforms back online to thwart efforts to curb climate change and protect marine life.”

In August 2017, Plains All American announced its plans to replace the pipeline, which has remained offline since the spill. The replacement pipeline would traverse 123 miles and three counties, including San Luis Obispo County.

In an interview with the New Times earlier this year, Steve Greig, the director of governmental affairs for Plains All American, said the project would not result in any new oil production but would only resume previous production. He also said the project would include a number of safety measures to prevent future oil spills.

“We understand the communities and the importance of the Pacific Ocean, and we agree that we want to protect the environment,” Greig said.

Filling the gap

Paso Robles Police Department proposes hiring more police personnel to meet community needs

T

he Paso Robles Police Department is the second largest municipal police department in San Luis Obispo County, but a recent analysis recommends that the department expand by 24 officers in order to keep up with its community.

In June 2018, the Paso Robles Police Department initiated strategic planning to guide the department’s planning, decision making, and initiatives over the next three years.

Ty Lewis, the police chief who replaced former Chief Robert Burton in March 2018, said a department steering committee spent eight months identifying and interviewing internal and external stakeholders to create the plan. Stakeholders included City Council members, city staff, Latino advocacy groups, senior community members, the chamber of commerce, homeless advocacy groups, public safety partners, schools, and the Hoteliers Association.

The committee came up with seven strategic goals: building trust within the community, addressing crime and traffic safety, improving communication, building trust through team development, improving service delivery, increasing staffing, and upgrading technology.

But in order to meet those goals,

Lewis said the city would have to take a different approach when it comes to staffing the police department. New Times reached out to city staff but did not hear back before press time.

Currently, Paso Robles uses an authorized/budgeted approach to staffing.

The department is allowed to hire based on what the city can afford, as opposed to hiring based on community need.

In order to guide staffing decisions, the city has historically relied on population ratios.

The current safety element of the city’s general plan calls for 1.4 to 1.6 officers per 1,000 residents—45 to 51 police officers. According to the workload analysis report, in 2018 authorized staffing levels in Paso Robles did not meet the goals of the city’s safety element, national averages, or those of other local municipalities. At the time, the department was estimated to be at 1.1 officers per 1,000 residents.

In 2018, the police department was authorized to have 51.88 employees, 35 of which were full-time police officers.

But it’s not so clear-cut—Lewis said there are other factors to consider, such as the increase in tourism. According to a report released in September 2018 by

Paso Talks, a city-led series of community forums, the city had nearly 1.3 million visitors in 2017—458,519 day visits and 804,330 overnight visits.

The department is recommending that the city move away from ratios and instead make staffing decisions based on workload analysis. The staff report stated in 2018 that the police department handled 41,112 calls for service. In the same year, officers responded to an additional 17,987 officer-initiated events—traffic enforcement stops, investigative pedestrian contacts, or on-view criminal activity—a 20 percent increase since 2014.

Lewis said that the Paso police department has a current staffing need because it, like other departments across the state, lost employees during the past economic downturn. The department has slowly recovered since then, but it hasn’t officially returned to pre-recession levels, and the workload has increased. Lewis said that because of this, the community is experiencing slower response times.

“On average it’s taking us between 13 and 15 minutes to respond to calls for service.

When we compare ourselves to our brothers at the fire department, they have response times that average around four minutes,” Lewis said. “Oftentimes, we’re pushing four times that amount before we’re even getting a lot of our calls for service.”

Adding more police officers to the force would allow the department to establish a community action team for the homeless and re-establish the special reinforcement teams for guns, drugs, and gangs.

He also wants to make clear that

hiring more police officers also means hiring additional property and evidence technicians, dispatchers, records clerks, community services coordinators, and crime analysts.

“I don’t want the community and the City Council just to solely focus on sworn staff because really it’s a joint need. The department is going to grow so we’re going to need all these other positions as well,” Lewis said.

With community-led goals for the department and Lewis’ workload analysis, the next step is figuring out the cost, which has yet to be calculated. Currently, the department’s budget is about $11 million, and in order to hire additional officers, Lewis said the increased budget could be comparable to the San Luis Obispo Police Department’s allocated budget of $16 million.

On April 16, the City Council accepted the Paso Police Department’s report and directed staff to schedule future community workshops to discuss staffing options.

“For us, it’s really an opportunity to show the community what we do, how busy we are, and do you want to do a better job of safeguarding and protecting what we all value: that small-town charm here in Paso Robles,” Lewis said. “And if so, here are the resources we need.” ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

urses are the glue that holds a patient’s health care journey together. They provide medications, treatments, emotional support, advice, and education to all different kinds of people in need of their services.

On March 18, 14 nurses—including eight from Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center and one from Twin Cities Community Hospital—traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico, to learn and practice providing health care for all.

The one-week trip was a collaboration between CSU Monterey Bay and the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara as part of a course for the BSN (baccalaureate degree in nursing). The course—called Global Health and the Socio-Cultural Constructs of Health and Illness—provides students with the opportunity to examine concepts and theories using a medical anthropology lens to understand the complexities of socio-cultural constructs of health and illness. It allows students to examine their own beliefs and values of health and well-being and apply this understanding to the intricacies within health carerelated decision-making.

Amanda Frepp, a registered nurse in the emergency department at Sierra Vista, traveled to Guadalajara with the group of nurses. Throughout the course, Frepp said, she and the other nurses learned about international health issues and culturally competent health care delivery.

The class was the first to go to Guadalajara, and Frepp said it’s the first class of many.

In the morning, the nurses conducted clinical rounds in different cities, including blood pressure screenings, height and weight measurements, and blood glucose testing. Physicians were also on deck in case patients needed to speak with a doctor if their results were abnormal.

Frepp said in the afternoon the nurses attended courses at the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara. She said the nurses learned about differences in care and access to care between Mexico and the United States, the scope of practicing nursing in Mexico, disease processes impacting the Latino population, and continuing Spanish language classes.

“This experience was invaluable; not only did it solidify our ability to at least minimally communicate with the growing Spanish-speaking population, it

granted us the opportunity to learn about opportunities in our practice to ensure all patients feel safe and welcome when seeking medical care,” she said.

In order to better communicate with their patients, the nurses all took an introductory medical Spanish course prior to arrival, although fluency was not necessary. But the nurses stayed with local host families during the trip as well as communicated with the community, Frepp said, so speaking some Spanish was a must. She said at the end of the week, the nurses’ Spanish had improved noticeably.

The group, Frepp said, was also able to check out the excellent social services and programs for Guadalajara’s senior population and discussed how nurses could implement something similar in San Luis Obispo.

“In today’s culture of hostility and fear between different countries and cultures, it was an honor to represent a change toward spreading knowledge, compassion, and empathy,” she said.

Commentary

BY ROBERT C. CUDDY

A bogus argument NIMBYs are nothing new, but their tales are getting old

S

pring has sprung in San Luis Obispo County, and glorious flowers have waltzed in to make our days happier: baby blue eyes, lupine, tidy tips, California golden poppies.

In South County, however, a loathsome weed has taken root, erupting from hillsides and along highways in Grover Beach and Arroyo Grande. You can’t miss it: It can be spotted by its “flower,” white letters on a red background spelling out “proposed homeless project at Hillside Church: right idea, wrong location.”

This putrescent growth, planted by a group ludicrously called “Neighbors for Safety,” is the pernicious NIMBY weed, and the current incarnation’s noxious fumes, as always, are aimed at overcoming the powerless, in this case the homeless.

NIMBY—not in my back yard—is nothing new. In my 50-year career as a journalist I wrote NIMBY stories from coast to coast, with maddening regularity.

Death, taxes, and NIMBY, the three sure things in modern America.

The mantra is always the same: The home for (Downs Syndrome children, battered women, the poor, the homeless, fill in the blank) is a swell idea but, goldurn it, the location you fellas are proposing just won’t work.

Then come the reasons why, almost always outright bogus or a stretch of logic that would challenge Plastic Man.

HODIN

In Grover Beach, a small army of caring people, including the 5Cities Homeless Coalition and Peoples’ Self-Help Housing, want to put in transitional housing, a youth dormitory, and other amenities to help mainly homeless youngsters and families on Hillside Church property near the Arroyo Grande-Grover Beach border.

They have been working on this for years, fighting relentlessly to help South County’s inexorably growing number of children, women, and men who have no roof over their head.

I don’t want to get into the details of this other than to say that this shelter would do a lot of good for a lot of people, especially families and young people—our neighbors and fellow human beings—who are down on their luck.

A Princeton graduate, Kyle Berlin, who grew up here, wrote the definitive piece on the (many) pros and (precious few) cons of the Hillside proposal in the April 23 SLO Tribune. It is must reading.

In his piece, Berlin says he “hold(s) no ill will toward those who oppose this location.” That’s charitable of him, but I can’t agree. I’ve seen this bad behavior too many times to be forgiving.

The Hillside NIMBY caper is especially enraging because it is taking disingenuousness to new heights.

Its “right idea, wrong location” line is

an outright fabrication. The people who planned and propagated that slogan know very well that there is no “right location.”

If this proposal fails, the South County homeless will get the same reception the next place they are shunted off to: a door slammed in their face.

This has already happened several times in South County. It’s public knowledge. To hear opponents say, in the words of their BFF, South County Supervisor Lynn Compton, that homeless advocates should “be serious about looking for other alternatives” is beyond aggravating. She and they know very well that those who care about the homeless have done this aggressively, with little result because of the NIMBYs. I’d have more respect for Neighbors for Safety if they’d just come right out and admit that they disdain homeless people and don’t want them around; if they’d reword their signs to tell the truth: “If you’re homeless, we don’t want you. Beat it, bum.”

That attitude is explicit in their campaign and even their name, which invokes “safety” as a reason to oppose the project.

When they talk safety, they are saying that the homeless will hurt their children, when all the evidence shows otherwise, and they know it. They are perpetuating the stereotype of the homeless man as a drugaddicted derelict who means them harm,

When they talk safety, they are saying that the homeless will hurt their children, when all the evidence shows otherwise, and they know it.

Russell Hodin

12 • New Times • May 2 - May 9, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

when they know very well that people who are homeless come in all varieties, including men and women who have lost a job in this sour economy, and their children.

The folks behind the Hillside proposal know this and have a handle on it. The NIMBYs are aware of that.

As far as the children are concerned, they’re in more danger listening to the adults around them talk. Look what they’re learning: Fear the homeless.

Disdain those who are different. Repel those who are down on their luck.

Those are some life lessons you’re teaching youngsters.

It’s ironic that this is all taking place around church property. It’s a real What Would Jesus Do moment in South County.

Do we help others, or don’t we?

Each of us has to look in the mirror to answer that. To me, there has always been something a little bit smug and selfsatisfied about this county and suburbia in general. We’re sort of a gated community here, and not just physically. We live in gated communities in our own minds; places where we believe we can shut out the bad things that happen in the world.

That mindset won’t work in the long run of course, if you know anything about the way the world operates. It shouldn’t be used in the short run as an excuse to turn our backs on other people.

Are we—and I’m looking at you, Neighbors for Safety—going to open up our gated hearts and minds and neighborhoods to those who haven’t been as lucky as we have? Or perpetuate the fear and ignorance? ∆ Robert C. Cuddy writes from Arroyo Grande.

Opinion New Times is on the wrong side of history

Al Fonzi didn’t mention the blacks in his piece last week (“They just can’t say it,” April 25), but he should have. We all know the blacks are sneaky and thieving.

Do you see all the troubles we’re having with the blacks? No, because the liberal media won’t report it!

What about the Jews? The Jews control everything, all the banks and businesses!

It’s impossible for a white man to even get by with these vermin running around stealing every nickle!

What? You won’t publish this letter?

Certainly wouldn’t make it a column?

Why not? What is the difference between Fonzi’s distortions and lies regarding Muslims and the standard dish from the KKK regarding African-Americans or Jews? There is none. It has simply been made acceptable, by degrees, to allow this bigotry into the mainstream, by people like Fonzi, and by publications like New Times, which gives him a platform.

In 50 years we’ll look back at these current issues of New Times with disgust and revulsion, the same way we look back now upon Southern papers that soft-sold stories of lynchings, alongside columns that justified keeping the “animal“ Negroes in their place.

Why does it always take 50 years? Why can’t we see what is happening now, and not allow it to happen now?

Sean R. Shealy San Luis Obispo

Our energy future doesn’t include nuclear The decision to close Diablo Canyon Power Plant was made by plant owner Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for economic reasons, and replacement energy will come from greenhouse-gas-free sources.

These facts are contrary to statements made by Ms. Ripley in her letter to New Times titled “Nuclear is the way to go” (April 18).

In a press release titled “Bridging to California’s energy future,” PG&E describes a reduced need for electricity in California: “State policies that focus on renewables and energy efficiency, coupled with projected lower customer electricity demand in the future, will result in a significant reduction in the need for the electricity produced by Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) past 2025.”

In that same press release, PG&E makes it clear that future energy sources will not include fossil fuels: “The parties jointly proposed that DCPP be replaced with a cost-effective, greenhouse-gas-free portfolio of energy efficiency, renewables, and other clean energy resources.”

The closure of Diablo Canyon will benefit both PG&E’s ratepayers and the environment.

ditor’s note: This letter to the editor is unedited and appears exactly as it was submitted. Typically, when opinion writers cite facts, the editorial team checks those facts through various online resources, fact-checking sites, and news outlets. If a fact or other statement is quoted in a piece set to run in our paper, we expect to be able to find that information in its original source.

The number, time period, and types of attacks cited in the original Rhetoric and Reason piece (“They just can’t say it,” April 25) were not able to be substantiated as written. Based on facts checked through outlets including Newsweek and snopes.com, which analyzed multiple international and U.S. news reports on the church vandalism in France, we were confident in printing that “several” churches had been vandalized in that time period.

In my article that appeared in the 25 April 2019 edition of the New Times, “They Just Can’t Say It,” I referred to the number of attacks on Christian churches in France in the weeks prior to the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral. The article was edited to read “several churches” had been attacked when in fact, there were 12 Christian churches attacked in France in the two weeks prior to the Notre Dame fire. In the last two years nearly 2000 Christian churches or facilities in France (875 attacks in 2018 and 1045 in 2017 according to the The Sun newspaper in London) have been desecrated or heavily damaged which the French government officially attributes to “militant secular forces.” Attacks on Christian churches in France outnumber both attacks on Synagogues and Mosques by nearly two to one: in 2018 there were 541 anti-Semitic attacks, 100 anti-Muslim attacks and 1063 anti-Christian attacks. After the terror attack in Sri Lanka last week which took over 350 lives, ISIS claimed responsibility and declared open war on Christians and Christian churches worldwide. Islamic terror is a major factor in persecution of all non-Muslims globally and it’s time the international media wake up and warn the public with straight talk about the threat to the foundations of liberty posed by Islamic Jihadists.

Opinion LETTERS from page 15

1. Ban hotels and motels and airbnbs from giving guests tiny plastic bottles of shampoo and lotion. This would eliminate hundreds of thousands of these pieces of plastic pollution each year. Since the city makes so much from hotel taxes, they must exert leadership in greening city tourism.

2. Ban leaf blowers. Their primitive engines put more greenhouse gases into the air than a truck. Their noise pollution drives people crazy. And their main accomplishment is stirring up dust and putting it into the air we breathe—a third form of pollution. Brooms and rakes have none of these negatives and also build muscles.

3. Since autos are a thing of the past and we’re entering the auto-less future, the city must eliminate its two lots of free downtown employee parking. It must also eliminate auto allowance subsidies for the city manager and city attorney. If the city expects residents to change how they get around, it must lead by providing a good example.

We need solutions

Karen Garcia wrote an excellent article on the personal heartbreak that is the result of immigration policies and enforcement that has been given the wink and nod for more than 40 years (“After deportation,” April 25). Congress needs to do something about this now.

Actually it should have been done yesterday. President Trump has offered many opportunities to pass legislation

addressing DACA, among other immigration issues, and the Democrats have flatly said no. How does the saying go? “If you are not part of the solution then you must be part of the problem.”

I personally sent emails twice to U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) to please work with the president to stop this separation of families by finding legislative solutions to immigration law and violations. I got standard “thanks” replies. Perhaps Carbajal should be spelled “Cabal.” The Democrats will not stop grousing about the last election until they lose the next one. Voters did not elect representatives to fuss and obstruct government action on the people’s concerns, or did they, perhaps by mistake.

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

Keep it clean P utting your money where your values are—buying local, cruelty-free, organic food; installing a gray water system; investing in “green” companies—is a good idea on a personal level.

On a statewide level, it’s a great idea.

And when that state is the world’s fifth largest economy, it’s potentially spectacular.

California (not including local and regional governments) spends about $10 billion per year on infrastructure— roads, bridges, buildings, etc. That kind of purchasing power could wield a huge amount of influence if, say, that public spending were consciously aligned with the state’s goals on climate change and cutting carbon emissions.

Or as the Buy Clean California Act, signed into law by former Gov. Jerry Brown in 2017, puts it: “Great quantities of emissions are released during the manufacture and transport of products used in public infrastructure projects,” and “California, through its extensive purchasing power, can improve environmental outcomes and accelerate necessary greenhouse gas reductions to protect public health, the environment, and conserve a livable climate by incorporating emissions information from throughout the supply chain and product life cycle into procurement decisions,

and using that information to help direct expenditure.”

Specifically, the act targets embedded carbon emissions of structural steel (hotrolled sections, hollow structural sections, and plate), carbon steel rebar, flat glass, and mineral wool board insulation.

Policy is destiny. It can make markets, change habits, and redirect the despair and acquiescence of “that’s just the way things are” into the realization that we can make things be the way they should be.

In this regard, California has hit upon a way to take on global warming’s dirtiest little secret, a problem that The Washington Post has dubbed the glaring loophole in our climate policies and which has been getting worse over the last three decades: At the same time that one set of negotiators has been hammering out policies for the reduction of carbon emissions in summit meetings on climate change, another set of negotiators has been hammering out trade agreements that guarantee a surge in carbon emissions. It would be funny if it weren’t an existential threat to a livable planet.

The New York Times provides a concise illustration of the problem: “Britain, for instance, slashed domestic emissions within its own borders by one-third between 1990 and 2015. But it has done so as energy-intensive industries have

migrated abroad. If you included all the global emissions produced in the course of making things like the imported steel used in London’s skyscrapers and cars, then Britain’s total carbon footprint has actually increased slightly over that time.”

Or as Kevin Danaher put it even more concisely back in 2003: Corporations “have shut down facilities in the United States and moved them to China because they can pay workers a fraction of U.S. wages, and they can save piles of money by polluting China’s environment in ways that would be illegal here.”

The Buy Clean California Act disrupts that scenario. It means manufacturers who operate the most polluting plants will need to rethink their business plan as orders decline. Manufacturers who have invested in pollution reduction see their investment pay off.

Over the next three years, the act will be phased in via requirements for the submission of environmental product declarations for materials to be used in projects. By Jan. 1, 2021, the Department of General Services will establish the Global Warming Potential (GWP) limit for each of the eligible materials. In July 2021, all materials for state projects will have to meet that requirement.

Local resolutions show the state that local governments support this policy and keep the responsible agencies motivated to ensure the timely and robust implementation of the law.

Last July, Richmond became the first

city in California to pass a resolution supporting state implementation of the Buy Clean California Act to help reduce climate pollution and resolving to pursue adoption of a Buy Clean policy at the local level.

The Sierra Club played a big part in getting the Buy Clean California Act passed, and is continuing to do so at the local level in cities and counties around the state. There are many ways you can get involved in the Buy Clean campaign and help persuade your local city council members or county supervisors to do as the state has done to reduce climate pollution. You can organize a forum to educate your community about Buy Clean and invite Sierra Club California staff to present information. You can volunteer to work closely with Sierra Club California staff to develop a local Buy Clean strategy.

To discuss the best ways you can get involved in the Buy Clean campaign and get your city or SLO County to reduce their carbon pollution, visit sierraclub. org/california/why-buy-clean or contact Conservation Organizer Molly Culton at molly.culton@sierraclub.org or (916) 5571100, Ext. 1100. ∆ Andrew Christie is director of the Santa Lucia chapter of the Sierra Club.

Opinion

The Shredder

Us vs. them I ’m starting to think there are two kinds of people: those who think it’s wrong to separate families, and those who don’t; those who think caging children is wrong, and those who don’t; those who have compassion for other human beings, and those who pick the wings off of flies and watch them suffer.

After reading the comments on New Times’ Facebook page in response to reporter Karen Garcia’s cover story, “Barred: Local families grapple with the effects of losing a family member to deportation” (April 25), I’d say Donny Pemberton II is definitely in the latter category.

I’m sure in his mind Donny thinks he’s quite the problem solver. Cortney Anne Upthegrove’s husband, Juan Murguia, has been barred from entry into the U.S. for 10 years because Juan stayed here illegally for more than a year before returning to Mexico and applying for legal status. Now Juan is effectively separated from his legal, native-born, U.S. citizen wife and son, JJ. “She should go with him. Problem solved. If I knew there’s a chance I would lose my family I wouldn’t break the law. Good to know my country is being protected,” Donny wrote, followed by three American flag emoji. “Thank you ICE for doing your jobs and keeping ILLEGAL aliens out of our country.

Build that wall Trump!!” he wrote later,

followed by three more American flag emoji.

Juan broke an immigration law, so in Donny’s mind it’s perfectly acceptable to separate his family, see? Juan broke the law, so his wife and son should be punished, too, see?

It doesn’t matter that Juan didn’t break any other law, that he was in every other way an upstanding citizen with a job, who paid taxes, contributed to his community, and loved the USA, nope! Juan was an undocumented resident, so let’s disrupt his family’s lives. Sheesh!

“That’s how it works. You break the law you pay the price. People have worked hard to get here legally. How is it fair to them to just put blinders on to everyone else. Send them back or change the laws.

Simple,” Donny said followed by five American flag emoji.

Did you hear that, 11 million undocumented human beings currently residing in America? Get the hell out!

It’s amazing to me that people can be so wholly devoid of empathy. Cortney didn’t break any laws. JJ didn’t break any laws.

But Donny-boy’s perfectly OK with them being separated from their loved one for a decade because the law’s the law! Even weirder, in his profile photo Donny’s wearing a B.A.C.A. patch, Bikers Against Child Abuse. Maybe he’s only worried

BEST OUTDOOR STORE

about white, native-born American children, not those caged brown children, or Juan’s currently fatherless son, JJ. I think Facebook commenter John Mackey was onto something when he called Donny “a heartless fucktard” and “douchebag,” to which Donny responded, “I triggered a snowflake” followed by a smiley face emoji. “I have no sympathy for criminals,” Donny finished with zero American flag emoji, the unpatriotic bastard! Donny, you should have put the period after you said, “I have no sympathy.” Period.

Of course, Donny isn’t the only Facebook commenter to make clear they don’t care that our immigration laws are separating families and deporting otherwise law-abiding human beings.

George Martin thoughtfully wrote, “Should have applied the right paperwork.”

Alison Edwards helpfully wrote, “Well then go with him and come back when you can do it legally!!”

When Rosie Bruiser commented, “This is so heartbreaking,” Alison responded, “are you sad for those in prison, too??” Alison obviously equates being in the U.S. without documentation with crimes worthy of imprisonment, you know, like murder and stuff. JJ, I know you miss your dad, Juan, but America is doing you a favor because he was a criminal! At least we didn’t put him in San Quentin, right JJ? Right?

Donny’s right about one thing. We should change the laws. We should also change our president and Republican

members of Congress, most of whom know full well that undocumented workers are one of the reasons our economy is humming. These so-called “illegal aliens” do the jobs legal citizens don’t want to do for wages we don’t accept in conditions we wouldn’t tolerate.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans really want to do anything about illegal immigration because our dirty little secret is big business loves undocumented workers because they’re easy to exploit.

Personally, I’m getting tired of solving America’s problems, but here goes.

Make it easier for guest workers to get in and out of the U.S.; create a path to citizenship for undocumented but lawabiding workers currently in the U.S.; make D.A.C.A.—Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals—the law of the land; create an e-verify system to assure employers are hiring those legally allowed to work; end the war on drugs; prioritize criminal cases for undocumented residents so the bad apples can be deported quickly; and make it easier for people who want to become American citizens to apply for and gain entry into our country. Simple!

Or we can continue our tribalism, our discord, our name calling (though Donny really is a douchebag), and our inability to take any meaningful, practical steps to fix immigration. Build a wall? OK, can we build it around Donny, George, and Alison? ∆ The Shredder is mostly legal. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

t’s been a busy year for SLO County’s favorite ice cream maker. While its parlors in SLO, Arroyo Grande, and Santa Maria continue to be locals’ go-to shops for scoops of Motor Oil, Birthday Cake, or Mint Fudge Oreo, the company recently announced plans to open 100 new parlors across the state, starting in the Sacramento area. But the expansion won’t diminish its presence locally, CEO Michael Boyer said. “We are committed to the idea of continuing to be based here in SLO,” Boyer said. “We definitely are committed to keeping the majority of our manufacturing and corporate team here.”

incoln Market and Deli is more than just a sandwich shop. It’s a place for sando slayers and register rock stars to become a family and create relationships with their customers. Owners and operators Mike and Becky Hicks have created a space for all to eat and have a good time. “We really have always tried to be that neighborhood hub, and, throughout the years, even more so a community hub for the entire city of San Luis Obispo,” Mike said. While there’s plenty to eat and drink, Becky said there are many market, wellness, and gift items from local merchants that customers can pick up on their visit.

downtown SLO in 2014, this charming brick-walled cafe serving its own HoneyCo Coffee Roaster beans has been a resounding hit with locals, college students, and visitors. Its quick success allowed the Petersons to open another location on Foothill Boulevard—with a more open and spacious vibe—which helped Scout earn 2018 Business of the Year honors in the 35th California Assembly District. “We appreciate all of your support of our little dream,” the Petersons said on Scout’s website. “Our goal has always been to create inspiring spaces with great people and amazing products, in a way that truly adds value to the community around us.”

fter many consecutive years in the hot seat, I imagine SLO County 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill is breathing a sigh of relief and is happy to hand over the title to SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon, who people hate because she’s a woman, a progressive, she rides a bike, she wants you to ride a bike, she wants to make SLO Town an environmentally sustainable net zero city, she was quoted dropping the f-bomb in Rolling Stone magazine, she’s strong (meaning she’s too aggressive), she’s super earnest, and she kills roses by the truckful. What a monster!

eople love SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon because she’s a woman, a progressive, she rides a bike, she wants you to ride a bike, she wants to make SLO Town an environmentally sustainable net zero city, she was quoted dropping the f-bomb in Rolling Stone magazine, she’s strong (meaning she kicks ass), she’s super earnest, and she wears fetching roses in her hair. She also does what she says she’ll do, so with Harmon, you get what you see, which is a hardworking, effective leader who happens to ride a bike. What an angel!

’m not sure how many people have “1019” tattooed somewhere on their bodies, but I’ve seen more than a few.

That’s the old address of McCarthy’s Irish Pub when it was at 1019 Court St. McCarthy’s is a bar that engenders tattoo-levels of loyalty. Back on March 19, 2007, about a dozen patrons and a few bartenders picked up the then20-foot bar and walked it four blocks down the sidewalk to its current location at 600 Marsh St. That wasn’t the fi rst time McCarthy’s moved. Its original owner, Joe McCarthy—a former pro wrestler known as the Red Devil—got in a rift with his business partner when the bar was located in The Gold Room on the corner of Monterey and Morro streets.

t’s nearly impossible to not be aware of Shell Beach fine artist, muralist, and sculptor Colleen Gnos.

Her colorful and dynamic images are everywhere from Kelsey See Canyon Vineyards wine labels to the Avila Beach lifeguard towers. Mermaids painted on surfboards are a common theme as well as hyper-colorful paintings of musicians in action.

Gnos is also an upright bassist. In fact, her self-portrait with her bass graced the March 2018 cover of Bass World magazine. She’s won this award before—last year and in 2016.

One of her paintings became the poster for the 2016 Live Oak Music Festival. Basically, she’s a badass.

That popcorn, though Delaiah Hastie and Davey Llamas hold onto the popcorn that puts The Palm Theatre above the rest! Plus, it’s doused in real butter with the option of sprinkling nutritional yeast over the top. Need I say more? Of course, the little theater on Palm Street offers movie goers more than that, with indie and documentary films that don’t screen anywhere else. That’s why it was voted Best Movie Theater.

s a child, Malik Miko Thorne used to hold a portable tape recorder to the TV speaker to make mixed tapes of songs from Solid Gold, American Bandstand, and Soul Train. Is it any wonder he became a DJ? While attending Cal Poly, he started working at the college radio station KCPR 91.3 FM. Then he got a job at Boo Boo Records. Then he started DJing shows on local NPR affi liate KCBX 90.1 FM. Then he started DJing house parties and weddings and nightclubs. Then he started the SLO Record Swap with fellow DJ and Traffic Records owner Manuel Barba. DJ Malik currently owns and operates A Satellite of Love—a used, vintage, and consignment retail store at 1335 Walker St. in SLO, which hosts periodic live music concerts. Got an event you need DJed? Hit him up! He’s the man!

SLO Jail Deaths 1585 Kansas Ave., SLO

(805) 781-4600

A

ndrew Holland’s 2017 death in the SLO County Jail wasn’t the first inmate death under Sheriff Ian Parkinson’s watch. Holland’s was the 10th, and there have been two more since then. Holland, who was mentally ill, died after being held naked and immobile for 46 hours in a restraint chair. His death prompted an ongoing FBI investigation into inmate civil rights and brought to light the woeful lack of mental health care at the jail. The jail has since amended many of its former practices as well as opened a new medical and special programs wing to care for inmates like Holland. There will inevitably be more inmate deaths in our jail, but hopefully those won’t be because of abuse and neglect.

Best Use of Taxpayers’ Money

Road & Highway Repair I nfrastructure, people! That’s where it’s at! Wanting good roads and bridges is about the only thing that liberals and conservatives can agree on. What they can’t agree on is where the money should come from. Gas taxes are supposed to pay for road maintenance, and in 2017, Californians voted for Senate Bill 1, which hiked gas tax by another 12 cents a gallon to a total of 47.7 cents a gallon, on top of the federal tax of 18.4 cent a gallon. Did I mention the 2.25 percent sales tax? If it makes you feel better, Pennsylvania and Washington state have higher gas taxes! In SLO County, the Public Works Department is in charge of maintaining the 1,339 miles of unincorporated roadways. Opinions vary on how well they do their job.

ou might recognize the power duo behind Farmhouse Corner Market from their 1964 black Chevy truck pulling a 1964 airstream at catered events. Or maybe it’s the impeccable menu that Will Torres puts together with his wife Kari Torres. After 12 years of being the executive chef for Justin Winery, Kari said, she and her husband were ready to follow their dream of owning and operating their own catering service. “Will is so amazing at creating new menus. I’ve been married to him for about 15 years, and there is not a menu that has been repeated yet—maybe a little tweak here and there but it always tastes different and amazing,” she said. The couple became business partners with Ryan and Leanne Harris in 2018 and the group is now planning to open a restaurant and market in mid-May in 1025 Farmhouse Lane.

f I see one more row of orange cones on some street in downtown SLO, I swear I’m going to lose it, people! Although, I’m not as certain as our readers are that all of the construction we’ve been seeing is “unnecessary.” It’s just an easier way for SLOcals to complain about all of the new buildings (read: fancy schmancy hotels) raising up the streetscape between Higuera, Monterey, and Santa Rosa streets.

How will we ever see the sky again? And city updates? Who needs those? It’s not like we need to build more housing in this town or allow anybody else to move into our section of paradise. We got here first!

C o surprises here.

Everyone’s favorite media personality is the weather guy.

But he’s not just any weather guy. He’s KSBY’s chief meteorologist, and he sings karaoke on the weekends!

I’ve seen him rock the house with a pretty feisty rendition of a Journey favorite. Dave Hovde had everyone belting it out. Maybe that’s why he’s so lovable. Hovde’s been keeping residents informed about rain, heat, and fog with a big smile on his face for years now, and he updates his Facebook page (find him at Dave Hovde-KSBY) regularly. You can also find him on Twitter @tvdave.

o one does more for veterans than the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), according to the national organization’s website. Formed more than a century ago by veterans of the Spanish-American War who returned home to find hardly any support, benefits, or services for them, the VFW was instrumental in establishing critical institutions for veterans like the Veterans Administration and the National Cemetery Administration. VFW, now 1.6 million members strong, continues to fight the good fight for our troops, advocating on their behalf in Congress, in local communities, and everywhere in between. Check out the multiple VFW stations in SLO County to learn more about what they do and provide, and how to help.

Biggest Problem Facing SLO County

Cost of Living/ Affordable Housing S LO is one of the most expensive places to live in the country. That’s one hell of a badge of honor, guys. It’s no wonder I still live in that cardboard box under a bridge by the creek. Meanwhile, all the NIMBYs are pissed off about all of the unnecessary construction, don’t want us to build anymore houses in their sliver of paradise, are afraid of this area becoming Los Angeles No. 2 (no thank you!), and bitch about the cost of living all at the same time. Something’s gotta give, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between. At least the SLO County Board of Supervisors got its shit together enough to pass a new inclusionary housing ordinance (even if it does sunset in three years) that might actually raise some real dollars for affordable housing. Can the county make a dent in the housing crisis before this time next year? I guess we’ll find out.

Swing Kings!

MarciJean and the Belmont Kings play Madonna Inn’s swing night

S

ocial dancing is always a blast to watch. The formal elegance of ballroom, the corny joy of square dancing, the swagger of hip-hop, the percussive bounce of tap—I love it all.

But for sheer, unmitigated exuberance, nothing beats swing. Whether it’s East Coast, Jitterbug, modern jive, or Lindy Hop, swing is king, and this Monday, May 6, at the Madonna Inn ballroom, you can check out swing dancers from the SLO Rugcutters as they dance to the sounds of MarciJean and the Belmont Kings (8 to 11 p.m.; all ages; free).

Want to join in but you don’t know how?

Never fear! The SLO Rugcutters will offer free lessons!

PHOTO COURTESY OF CHERRY GLAZERR

“My whole life I’ve been spellbound by swing,” lead singer MarciJean Fambrini said. “I’ve spent many years in different swing bands in the Bay Area, but the kind of swing that gets me excited is jump blues. In the ’40s and ’50s, all the fancy 15-piece orchestras were playing in the high society supper clubs. I would kill to be a fly on the wall during that era! But if I had a time machine I wouldn’t go there, I would go to the juke joints! The AfricanAmericans’ culture from that era is what gets me really going! MarciJean and the Belmont Kings is our attempt to bring you with us to the juke joint on the other side of the tracks.”

The Belmont Kings is made up of Mark Garza and Dave Bourbon, formerly of The Hydromatics.

Garza also plays in the DriveIn Romeos from Santa Maria.

The band also includes brothers Emanuel “Manny” Martinez and Jonathan “JJ” Martinez, who “are from an incredibly talented musical family and have a band called UMO,” Fambrini noted.

Put your dancing shoes on and get ready to boogie-woogie!

He’s enjoyed international hits with songs such as “Lost My Sonia,” “Tune In,” and “Rocking Dolly.” The Jamaicaborn artist was only 14 years old when

Strictly Starkey his first song, “Searching In The Hills,” was released in 1974. The song “was far from a financial success,” according to his bio, and he turned to work as a jockey and fisherman, but he eventually returned to music, and success found him in 1983 with “Rocking Dolly.”

This is a mustsee for reggae fans!

In it, snippets of songs such as Harry Belafonte’s “Day-O,” Richie Havens’ “High Flyin’ Bird,” and Carmen McRae’s “Happy to Make Your Acquaintance” trigger Anderson’s memories of her past and the music that informed her own artistry. In all, she talks about inspiration from 21 artists and more than 30 of their songs.

She describes the show as “narration on tape with gobs of music, telling my life story through the portal of music—

songs that played throughout my lifetime and the events that occurred then. It’s a musical memoir of sorts.”

It’s quite a ride!

J

ust shy of 60,000 lights will shine across 15 scenic acres of rolling hills in Paso Robles starting May 15, all the way into the new year.

“I use lights as a medium of expression,” British artist Bruce Munro said. “But my passion is defining time and place. Our experiences here are all about time and place.”

Munro’s latest and biggest light installation to date will be all aglow later this month at Sensorio, an immersive outdoor art venue in Paso Robles. Sensorio: Field of Light is a sculptural piece that covers the venue’s undulating hills with an array of more than

LIGHT ARTIST Bruce Munro works with light to create installations around the world. Different variations of his Field of Light pieces have appeared in Scotland, Mexico, Australia, and the U.S.

58,800 stemmed spheres lit by fiber optics, gently lighting the local landscape in subtle bursts of color, all running on solar power.

Powering the lights with solar means Munro and the team don’t have to dig up the land for cables. Munro, along with more than 15 volunteers, collaborated to make Sensorio: Field of Light a reality. Munro also works to make sure that all the material used is recycled after the exhibit ends and is torn down.

“The important thing for me is to arrive and put something on the landscape that isn’t scarring it,” Munro said. “I’m just one of the team when it comes down to it. I spend my time developing and creating it, but you need many hands to bring it to fruition.”

Munro began working with lights in his art in his early 20s. He was living in Australia at the time and walked past a shop where lights were on display in the window, and he thought, “I could make sculptures with that.” His first Field of Light installation went up in London in 2004. Since then, several variations of Field of Light have appeared in Scotland, Mexico, Australia, and the U.S. “I just thought people would get them,”

It’s lit

Artist Bruce Munro’s Field of Light at Sensario installation will be on display and open to the public from May 19 to Jan. 5, 2020. Tickets range from $18 to $27 for general admission and from $125 to $130 for the VIP experience, which includes a picnic dinner. Visit sensoriopaso.com for tickets and more information.

ALL IS BRIGHT Field of Light at Sensorio in Paso Robles will be artist Bruce Munro’s biggest piece to date. Pictured here is Munro’s Field of Light in Norfolk, Virginia.

Munro said. “I thought they would understand.”

While nighttime seems the obvious choice for viewing Munro’s work, the artist argues that Field of Light has its glorious moments when the sun’s up, too.

“Because the glass is frosted, some people do like it during the day because they look like poppies or flowers, and they sway in the breeze,” Munro said.

The Guardian described Munro’s light installations as “art you feel, rather than art you view.” That’s what Munro is going for.

“People have felt very joyful and connected to each other,” Munro said.

“You just allow it to sit in nature and it quietly does its thing. I think it’s something that was given to me that I’ve given back out to other people.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is staring at all the pretty lights. Contact her at rcooley@newtimesslo.

BY DAYLIGHT While one might argue the best time to view light artist Bruce Munro’s work is at night, he thinks his installations take on an almost wildflower-like look during the daytime. Pictured here is Field of Light in Albany, Australia.

rtist Porfirio Gutiérrez can’t remember exactly when people started referring to him as a master weaver, but the title has stuck for some time now.

“It’s tough to measure what qualifies you as a master weaver,” Gutiérrez said. “[Perhaps it’s] when you reach a certain ability of design and techniques, when you start showing a valuable quality of work.”

Growing up in Oaxaca, Mexico, as part of the Zapotec culture, Gutiérrez was never asked if he was interested in learning to weave. Rather, it was expected that he would because that’s what his father and his people did. After moving to California, though, Gutiérrez stopped weaving for a AUTHENTIC Ventura-based artist Porfirio Gutiérrez uses all time and then picked it back up after he realized natural fibers and dyes to weave pieces such as The Journey of the Better Flies. he actually missed the work. The Ventura-based Gutiérrez takes his inspiration from artist’s work is currently on display at the the Zapotec people, myths, and art, as San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as part well as from modern art and culture of the Man of Two Worlds exhibit. here in the U.S. He uses wool—and palm “Weaving has been in my tradition for leaves, on occasion—for his weavings, thousands of years,” Gutiérrez said. “In my which are dyed with natural materials family and in my community, we come from like fruit, herbs, and insects to create textile artists and weavers. It is an art form contemporary, abstract, and colorful and something I actually like and love to do.” tapestries, like The Journey of the Better Flies and Door to the Spirit World. On average, the master weaver’s pieces can be anywhere from 24 by 38 inches to 4.5 feet by 6 feet in size. A piece can take weeks, or even months, to complete.

“I’m really drawn to the raw materials,” Gutiérrez said. “I don’t want to put a title on it; I’m just someone who has found fibers and works to put expression into what I do.”

Above all, Gutiérrez hopes that viewers of his work take away a sense of who he is and where he’s from.

“I am a big protector of tradition of materials and techniques,” Gutiérrez said.

“I’m a big defender and proud of the Zapotec culture. I hope people take away these things I’m proud On display of. I hope they’re Man of Two Worlds, able to understand featuring the art of master that and that it weaver Porfirio Gutiérrez, evokes interest will be on display at the SLO in what they’re Museum of Art through June looking at.” ∆ 16.

Glen This direct sequel to the events of Infinity War opens with Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), aka Hawkeye, enjoying a picnic with his family on their rural property. He helps his daughter with her archery skills, and as he turns back from responding to his wife’s call of lunchtime, the girl is gone … vanished.

When he turns back to his wife and sons, they, too, have disappeared. It’s an emotionally resonant reminder of the stunning loss that the survivors of Thanos’ act experienced. This scene is followed by other scenes introducing the various main characters and reminding viewers of their loss. This turns out to be both the film’s strength and weakness.

It’s got surprising emotional heft for a superhero flick, but it’s also overlong and repetitive as we explore in detail the dozens of characters, their relationships and connections, their losses and reaction to those losses, and their eventual reunification and renewed fight to reverse what Thanos wrought. As I wrote in my review of Infinity War, Thanos’ act felt like a stunt. Too many of the characters who disappeared had already scheduled films and sequels coming up. It didn’t feel final, and of course it wasn’t because … wait for it … time travel! If that’s a spoiler to you, you’re obviously not a fan of the Marvel Universe because those who are know that Thanos’ destructive act cannot stand. Luckily for everybody, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), aka Iron Man, is wicked smart and figures out how to go back in time. The film

Anna I skipped Infinity War. Frankly, these bigger-than-life comic book movies usually aren’t my thing, especially when they take themselves too seriously. I went in to Endgame with little hope of actual enjoyment but walked out pleasantly surprised. It’s an ass-numbing threehour saga, and I agree that it could have lost a bit of repetition and ended up with the same effect at a more reasonable length, but there is a lot going on here and a lot of superheroes to cover. There are some actually potent emotional moments from the start, and some pretty funny bits too. Thor is perfectly positioned to bring the laughs in. The God of Thunder has hidden himself away from the world, traded his god bod for a dad bod, and wastes his days guzzling beer and playing video games. He’s a bumbling drunk who spends the movie unsuccessfully putting his life back together. But in the end, he snaps back into superhero mode with ease. The God of Thunder still has some tricks up his sleeve, beer belly or not. Putting this many superheroes together is a pretty daunting feat; the storyline tends to get sacrificed so everyone can have a chance

SAN LUIS OBISPO

Aretha Franklin with the choir at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Watts, Los Angeles, in January of 1972.

There are a lot of amazing elements to this documentary. The fact that Sydney Pollack (This Property Is Condemned, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, Jeremiah Johnson, Three Days of the Condor, Tootsie, Out of Africa, The Firm) directed the 1972 filming and is now given co-direction credit 11 years after his death is pretty amazing.

The fact that this footage languished for 47 years before seeing the light of day is pretty amazing. I should also mention it’s a pretty rough edit, and there are a lot of moments where the camera operators struggle to get into focus.

None of that matters because the most amazing element of all is Aretha’s voice. She was 29 years old, and she’d had a string of popular R&B hits such as “I Say a Little Prayer,” “A Natural Woman,” “Respect,” Chain of Fools,” “Think,” “Do Right Woman—Do Right Man,”

to be a star. Endgame suffers this fate a bit, though for the amount of superpower up on screen, I think they stayed mostly on track. Judging by how many screenings were sold out, I’m betting the Marvel die-hards have already seen this by now. Even if you’re more of a casual fan like myself, this is a pretty fun flick.

And even though it’s long, the three hours went by fairly quickly with all the action.

Glen Historically, the comic book realm has always been a boys’ world. In the past, even the female superheroes seemed more designed to appeal to boys rather than girls—have you noticed, for instance, that most female superheroes dress like a PG-13-rated pole dancer or dominatrix? However, both Marvel and DC seem to be trying to evolve, not just on gender issues but on other social issues. For instance, when Rogers attends a survivors group therapy session, one of the male members casually mentions his gay relationship and nothing’s made of it. It’s accepted as normal. During the pitched final battle, it’s a group of female superheroes who convene to take a stand while their male co-heroes wage individual battles. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), aka Captain Marvel, is the desperately needed tiebreaker in the final fight to the death. These moments are signs that the times they are a-changin’, and it’s a welcome change. That said, don’t leave reading this review with the idea that everything’s going to turn out perfectly for our heroes. The film has the good sense to make at least some of its stakes real, so prepare yourself for some losses. Also, keep in mind, prequels are a thing, so I have no doubt SPLIT SCREEN continued page 112

Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time and many more, but she decided to return to her gospel roots in performances filmed over two days. The concerts’ live recordings yielded Amazing Grace, the best selling gospel album of all time.

Watching her work with Rev. James Cleveland, a great gospel singer in his own right, the incredible music director Alexander Hamilton, the Southern California Community Choir, and members of her own band is mindblowing. The concerts had an improvised, organic feel to them, similar to the call and response gospel sounds of black churches all over America. The difference is Aretha’s supple, nuanced, thrilling voice. It doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not, watching this film will fill you with the spirit.

The close-ups on Aretha’s perspiring face, her eyes closed in solemn prayer, a serene Buddha-like glow of the divine all around her— you know you’re witnessing a kind of magic,

a kind of mass hysteria, a kind of miracle. It’s also fun when the camera catches The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger in the back of the room on the second night. Obviously word got out after the first night, and Jagger had to see for himself.

Everyone in that room hung on every note.

I watched the film the day before Easter, and it’s all the church I need. Simply amazing! (89 min.)

THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Rent it

What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm (ends 5/2) Kent Jones is taking a break from documentaries (Hitchcock/Truffaut and A Letter to Elia) to direct Mary Kay Place as Diane, a woman who is beginning to confront her past as the people in her present begin to fade away. She does this while trying to connect with her drugaddicted son.

While this may not be a documentary, Jones writes a script that allows the audience to follow in Diane’s footsteps as if her story were nonfiction.

Diane is a do-gooder within her network of aging friends and family members— she herself looks to be in her 60s. She’s constantly visiting people to check in, lend a hand, or deliver a casserole. When she’s not doing that, she volunteers at a soup kitchen with her friends who are on the healthier side. Diane makes the long drive to visit her terminally ill cousin, Donna (Deirdre O’Connell), at the hospital and then later makes the trip to her son Brian’s (Jake Lacey) house to drop off clean laundry as well as nag him to get clean again.

As the days continue on with Diane’s acts of selfless service, it becomes clear that everything Diane does is to keep her in constant motion. If she’s left alone with her thoughts, she’s reminded of the decisions she’s made in the past, good or bad. So, instead of facing her demons and helping herself, Diane helps others.

It doesn’t help when everyone around her is a constant reminder that she, too, must come to terms with her life that is slowly nearing an end.

Place does an amazing job of unleashing the wrath of a person who has given in to resignation, only to be driven to rage. She’s given in to her son’s addiction until she can’t manage that losing battle anymore.

Diane also visits Donna in the hospital, but always seems to start an argument about the fact that she stole her cousin’s boyfriend, leaving Brian behind for Donna to partially raise.

What’s captivating about this film is the emotion portrayed by Place and the other actors. The audience doesn’t need to be told exactly what’s going on, as it’s easily pieced together through Diane’s conversations with her everyday

The evil spirit is none other than Mexican folklore’s La Llorona (Marisol Ramirez), the ghost of a woman who drowned her children in a moment of blind rage. After multiple ghastly encounters, Anna enlists help from Father Perez (Tony Amendola) and occult specialist Rafael Olvera (Raymond Cruz) to stop the spirit from harming her family.

Although marketed as a standalone film, I was surprised to realize The Curse of La Llorona is part of The Conjuring Universe, basically the closest thing we

Anna Yep, it’s got some real stakes, and the filmmakers were smart to make them count. Usually this type of big, action-

have to a Marvel Cinematic Universe of horror movies. For those unfamiliar with the franchise, it started with 2013’s The Conjuring, and each film since has been either a prequel, a sequel, a spin-off, or even all three simultaneously. The connection in this case is barely one at all however. Amendola reprises his Father Perez role from 2014’s Annabelle, but that’s about it (unless I missed any other Easter Eggs).

After Anna shows Perez the strange injuries on her arm, he’s already confident in exactly who the culprit is. If there’s one thing I really appreciate about The Curse of La Llorona, it does its best to not waste any time. I was expecting half of the movie boiling down to the children trying to convince their mother of La Llorona’s existence, but nope! Anna sees the ghost

The Avengers’ plan has them traveling in teams back to three different eras and places to retrieve the stones before Thanos can, one of which sends Thor back to Asgard the day of his mother’s death. He’s a mess over it and is torn between his mission and his mother’s life. The past/present/future setup could

The nightmare doesn’t end there though, as the apparition reappears throughout the week, always leaving strange burns and bruises on the wrists or arms of Anna and her children. The performances are solid, and I was genuinely scared a lot of the time, but for me, The Curse of La Llorona isn’t as memorable as a lot of other recent horror movies. But in its defense, there’s so much to compete with these days. We’re basically living in the “Disney Renaissance” of horror films, and I for one hope it never ends. (93 min.)

DUMBO

Park This remake of the Disney animated film centers on a struggling circus led by Max Medici (Danny DeVito), who hires former circus star but now wounded war veteran Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) to take care of Dumbo, a small elephant with giant ears that make it a laughingstock. Holt’s children, Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins), discover little Dumbo can fly. Soon ruthless entrepreneur V. A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton) swoops in to make Dumbo a star with the help of French trapeze artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green).

Darn you, Dumbo, trying to tug on my heartstrings when all I want to do is nitpick about your imperfections (the movie’s, not the elephant’s!). It’s hard to hold back tears when the song “Baby Mine” starts playing, as baby Dumbo extends his trunk to reach the barred window of his mother’s cage. The separation of the titular elephant and his mother is at the heart of both the 1941 animated original and this live-action remake from appropriate director Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, Alice in Wonderland).

Unlike the original, however, this story centers on brand-new human characters rather than anthropomorphized animals.

Timothy Q. Mouse still makes a fun cameo appearance, but his role as Dumbo’s friend and protector gets transferred over to two human children, Milly and her brother, Joe. The siblings try to convince their father, circus worker Holt Farrier, that Dumbo has the ability to fly.

Of course, he scoffs at the fantastical notion, but can we really blame him? He is a dad in a Disney movie, after all. And

by Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman), a rogue CIA operative who disagreed with the experiment, Hanna is raised in an isolated Polish forest When? 2019 where Erik, who she believes is her father, What’s it rated? TV-MA trains her as the ultimate assassin.

Where? Amazon Prime Now 15 years old, Hanna begins to stray farther from their forest redoubt and soon ased on the 2011 film of the same name, encounters the first person she’s ever met Hanna tells the coming-of-age story of a aside from Erik. The chance meeting with a young woman (Esme Creed-Miles), who was young logger quickly puts Wiegler on Hanna’s part of a secret government super soldier scent. She’s been searching for the girl for experiment run by Marissa Wiegler (Mireille 15 years—the last living member of the Enos). Taken from the program as an infant PHOTO COURTESY OF AMAZON STUDIOS disbanded program. What follows over eight episodes is Hanna and Erik’s return to Europe, where Hanna hopes to kill Wiegler, and Erik tries to expose her unethical experiment.

If you’ve seen the film upon which this is based, a lot of the story will be familiar. The series creator and co-writer, David Farr, is the co-writer of the 2011 film along with Seth Lochhead, who shares co-writing credit on episode 1 of the TV series. Like in the film, after Hanna is captured, Wiegler sends a stand-in to question her; DEADLY Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles, when Hanna escapes, she’s given a ride by a vacationing family in left) was raised in the woods and an RV and befriends the rebellious trained as an assassin by her “father” daughter, Sophie (Rhianne Erik (Joel Kinnaman), in a new action Barreto), with whom she shares a series based on the 2011 film, Hanna. first kiss.

B

The big difference between the film and TV series is the time the series has to develop the characters and side plots. For instance, we learn that the disbanded super soldier experiment has been reconstituted under Jerome Sawyer (Khalid Abdalla), who quickly assumes the chief antagonist mantle from Wiegler. The new program and its discovery

by Hanna and Erik set up a second season of the series, which otherwise would have quickly run out of plot.

Hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, and some amazing stunts are speckled throughout the series, which is half sci-fi thriller and half coming-of-age drama as Hanna learns about her past and Erik’s real relationship to her. The only missing element from the original film is Isaacs (Tom Hollander), the preppie whistling assassin sent by Wiegler to capture Hanna.

He and his two skinhead henchmen were a lot of fun, and that touch of whimsy is missing here. Despite that loss, Hanna the TV series is still an easy-to-watch, action-packed drama with compelling leads. When the next season pops up, I’ll definitely watch it. (Eight 60-min. episodes).

SHAZAM! What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10 Horror director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation) successfully steps out of his comfort zone to helm this superhero fantasy about 14-year-old foster kid Billy Batson (Asher Angel), who is chosen to inherit magical powers from a dying wizard (Djimon Hounsou). All Batson needs to do is say the magic word—the wizard’s name, Shazam!—to transform into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi) with super strength, flight, and other abilities.

Still a kid at heart, the hero—or “champion” as the wizard refers to him—revels in his new powers, testing them out with his foster brother, Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer), the first person Batson trusts with his secret. Meanwhile, the insidious Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), a mad scientist who dedicated his life to finding the original Shazam, seeks to hunt down Batson in order to extract his powers and adopt them himself.

The film opens with an origin for Sivana, cleverly devised to mirror Batson’s origin later; he’s chosen by the same dying wizard as a child decades before. Unfortunately, Sivana fails the wizard’s test when he is tempted by “the Seven Deadly Sins.” The sins are literally represented as physical demonic monsters that play an intricate—and quite terrifying— role in Sivana’s destiny.

It’s a lot to take in, but wow. Believe the hype! The film’s universal acclaim since its release is well deserved. Like Wonder Woman and Aquaman, Shazam! builds its own world and mythology while still retaining the features of a shared universe (there are plenty of references to other DC heroes throughout the film to make that point clear). Overall, Shazam! works on so many levels: an intriguing fantasy, a moving family drama, and a brilliant comedy. Drop whatever you’re doing and go see it right— Shazam! (132 min.)

Gunnery practice at the Lampson-Grady ranch

I

t’s Sunday, April 28, and my wife, Anna, and I are fixin’ to shoot some shit.

We’re heading out Highway 58, just outside Santa Margarita, to visit our friends Don Lampson—a well-known local musician with a voice that sounds like rusted shovels bouncing in the back of an old pickup truck running down a dirt road, but in a good way—and his paramour, Peg Grady, an artist with a wickedly irreverent sense of humor who paints and stitches and puts weird stuff together to create even weirder, but always more interesting, stuff.

They’ve invited us out for some target practice and chow—two things Anna and I are always ready for. Peg’s a wiz in the kitchen, and we’ve been promised ceviche!

As we arrive, Don’s on their home’s covered patio, surveying the couple’s 13 acres of rolling green hills, their pond, their low-slung barn, and the handful of feral cats Peg’s trapped and had neutered or spayed. Gophers have short lifespans around these parts, and a gray cat named Tippy with a rodent in its mouth disappears under the house. Apparently, this area’s the place to go if you want to

abandon your pet like a reprobate.

We waste little time before the guns are out.

“What are you gonna do?” Peg asks Don. “I’m gonna start slingin’ lead,” Don responds, clicking a magazine into his .45. “You got ear protection?”

We do. This ain’t our first rodeo. We take turns cracking off shots into Don’s “plinking gallery,” where he’s hung pots, pans, pieces of metal, old tools—anything that’ll make a “ting” when it’s hit—from the trees or sticking out of the ground.

Their little ranch is beautiful and populated by the local flora and fauna—including a wild turkey that momentarily curtailed our target practice by wandering through the target area, apparently not flummoxed by the sound of gunshots.

Don’s a Vietnam vet who served at tour in 1966-67, and both he and Peg worked as prison guards, so they’re no strangers to target practice. Peg says she hasn’t shot in years, then picks up a .22 revolver and pops three in a row into a hanging piece of metal.

Don cracks off a few more shots, and

SEMI AUTO ACTION A spent cartridge jumps from musician and Vietnam vet Don Lampson’s .45 as he target shoots at his Santa Margarita ranch.

Peg asks, “Did you shoot five or six?”

“Well, in all this excitement, I forgot to count,” Don deadpans in his best Dirty Harry Callahan impression.

I ask Peg whether her distant neighbors mind all the gunshots, and she assures me it’s common.

“In most places when you hear gunshots, you’re like, ‘Holy fuck! Gun shots! Terrorist! Very fine people are coming to kill us!’ Here we don’t even

IT NEVER STOOD A CHANCE This old shovel ate lead but remained standing, one of the many improvised targets in Don’s “plinking gallery.”

notice,” she says.

Don grills some of Peg’s marinated shrimp and some beer brats on his old Weber, and soon we’re chowing down, satisfied that we’re all deadly as hell and sure that of the “very fine people on both sides,” we’re definitely on the good side.

“I don’t feel comfortable doing it because I don’t want to put my license in jeopardy,” Christensen said. “The laws are forcing us to become more creative.”

Terpenes, Sherman explained, are basically aromatic oils that are in almost all vegetative plants. He said that even insects exude terpenes. Terpenes are a class of molecules, according to Chemistry Encyclopedia, that bring scents to your nose.

They are the building blocks of essential oils.

Sherman said he always uses lavender as an example. If he were to take lavender essential oil and distill it down, he would end up with linalool. It’s the root of what makes lavender, lavender.

More than 200 terpenes have been found in cannabis, and each cultivar is a little bit different, Sherman said. And although essential oil makers have known about terpenes forever, he said the cannabis world is bringing it into the public consciousness.

Golden Apple’s been dabbling in the terpene scene for about a year and half, he said, and is doing research on items like soda water and salves that include terpenes. In the meantime, the company has also been peddling non-cannabinoid derived terpenes to bars in the area, including Sidecar, Eleven Twenty-Two, and Fish Gaucho.

cannabis, such as pineapple express. As Christensen said, laws around marijuana have led to creative thinking (such as using non-cannabis terpenes to mimic strains of cannabis in cocktail form).

Sherman said the difference between strains of indica and sativa can be traced back to terpenes. While sativa is known as a cannabis strain with more uppity energetic effects on the user, indica has a more sedative, sleepy effect. Sativas, Sherman said, are higher in pinene (think pine) and limonene. Indicas, then, have more linalool.

“As it works with all consumables, we can use terpenes in cocktails. They’re not a cannabinoid; they’re federally legal at the end of the day,” Sherman said. “At the end of the day, a molecule is a molecule.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham doesn’t know much about molecules, but is all in on cocktails.

D INE ’N’ DISH Munch on lunch

Did you know that American workers spend an average of $3,000 a year on coffee and lunch at work? At least, that’s according to a survey performed by Accounting Principals in 2012. So believe it or not, you people (on average) spend about $50-plus a week on dining out, taking food to go, and bringing a bagged lunch to the office. That’s a good chunk of your paychecks, folks. But, if you’re going to spend that cash on noshing, you might as well spend it on a good meal deal. My friends, the best kept lunch secret on Higuera Street in downtown SLO is Thai Classic. I know, there are other delicious Thai places located in the area, but this little spot behind Firestone Grill is a New Times editorial favorite to grab lunch to-go. Personally, I’m a fan of the green curry lunch special: $8.50 for green curry with peas, green beans, chicken, coconut milk, and sweet basil served with your choice of steamed white or brown rice and a crispy fried wonton chip or two. If you’re planning on eating in the restaurant, you also get a little bowl of soup and a plate of salad to munch on for the same price.

Thai Classic’s lunch specials range from $8.50 to $10.50 (I know, right?). Every now and again, I like to splurge the extra $2 for the shrimp and squid fried with chili. I can smell it sometimes from the New Times parking lot, and it makes my mouth water!

Thai Classic is located at 1011 Higuera St. in San Luis Obispo. The restaurant serves up $8.50 to $10.50 lunch specials from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays (but not holidays). Soup and salad are served for dine-in only. ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is always looking for a good meal deal. Send your favorites to clanham@newtimesslo.com.

EMPLOYMENT

FULL-TIME WRITER The Sun in Northern Santa Barbara County is looking for its next staff writer, but we’re not looking for just any article-pushing, source-wrangling, story-chasing someone.

Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things— you know the ones: “Top 10 hottest places to eat your lunch on a rainy day.” Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated phone calls that give a story what it needs to ripen into the hard-charging, data-filled narrative it’s dying to be; the time that turns a “meh” story into one that blows a hole in the status quo.

Can you see the big picture of what a story means to a community? Is that what drives you? Do you know what it takes to—yes, we know, it’s cliché—make a difference in the lives of the people you cover? Does that sort of thing matter to you?

If so, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for: a staff writer who isn’t afraid to take on the tedious, the tenuous, or the talented. That certain someone who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to the communities we cover at the Sun and New Times. Oil, agricultural, water, and environmental advocacy aren’t the only things that drive this place—although those are pretty juicy beats.

There’s more, and we want to hire someone who can drive his or herself to unearth those stories and tell them in a meaningful way.

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you. Send a résumé, cover letter, and story samples to Cindy Rucker at crucker@newtimesslo.com.

New Times Media Group is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What are the five conditions you’d need in your world in order to feel you were living in utopia? Write freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies,” wrote Henry David Thoreau.

“How slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!”

Your first assignment in the coming days, Aries, is to devote yourself to quenching the hunger and thirst of your soul with the same relentless passion that you normally spend on giving your body the food and drink it craves. This could be challenging. You may be less knowledgeable about what your soul thrives on than what your body loves. So your second assignment is to do extensive research to determine what your soul needs to thrive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I invite you to explore the frontiers of what’s possible for you to experience and accomplish. One exercise that might help: visualize specific future adventures that excite you. Examples? Picture yourself parasailing over the Mediterranean Sea near Barcelona, or working to help endangered sea turtles in Costa Rica, or giving a speech to a crowded auditorium on a subject you will someday be an expert in. The more specific your fantasies, the better. Your homework is to generate at least five of these visions.

(May 21-June 20): “We must choose between the pain of having to transcend oppressive circumstances, or the pain of perpetual unfulfillment within those oppressive circumstances,” writes mental health strategist Paul John Moscatello. We must opt for “the pain of growth or the pain of decay,” he continues. We must either “embrace the tribulations of realizing our potential, or consent to the slow suicide in complacency.” That’s a bit melodramatic, in my opinion. Most of us do both; we may be successful for a while in transcending oppressive circumstances, but then temporarily lapse back into the pain of unfulfillment.

However, there are times when it makes sense to think melodramatically. And I believe now is one of those times for you. In the coming weeks, I hope you will set in motion plans to transcend at least 30 percent of your oppressive circumstances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Cancerians can benefit from always having a fertility symbol somewhere in your environment: an icon or image that reminds you to continually refresh your relationship with your own abundant creativity; an inspiring talisman or toy that keeps you alert to the key role your fecund imagination can and should play in nourishing your quest to live a meaningful life; a provocative work of art that spurs you to always ask for more help and guidance from the primal source code that drives you to reinvent yourself. So if you don’t have such a fertility symbol, I invite you to get one.

If you do, enhance it with a new accessory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my horoscopes, I often speak to you about your personal struggle for liberation and your efforts to express your soul’s code with ever more ingenuity and completeness. It’s less common that I address your sacred obligation to give back to life for all that life has given to you.

I only infrequently discuss how you might engage in activities to help your community or work for the benefit of those less fortunate than you. But now is one of those times when I feel moved to speak of these matters. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when it’s crucial to perform specific work in behalf of a greater good. Why crucial? Because your personal well-being in the immediate future depends in part on your efforts to intensify your practical compassion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “We are whiplashed between an arrogant overestimation of ourselves and a servile underestimation of ourselves,” writes educator Parker Palmer. That’s the bad news, Virgo. The good news is that you are in prime position to escape from the whiplash. Cosmic forces are conspiring with your eternal soul to coalesce a well-balanced vision of your true value that’s free of both vain misapprehensions and

self-deprecating delusions. Congrats! You’re empowered to understand yourself with a tender objectivity that could at least partially heal lingering wounds. See yourself truly!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The country of Poland awards medals to couples that have stayed married for 50 years. It also gives out medals to members of the armed forces who have served for at least 30 years. But the marriage medal is of higher rank, and is more prestigious. In that spirit, I’d love for you to get a shiny badge or prize to acknowledge your devoted commitment to a sacred task—whether that commitment is to an intimate alliance, a noble quest, or a promise to yourself. It’s time to reward yourself for how hard you’ve worked and how much you’ve given.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath wrote, “I admit I desire, / Occasionally, some backtalk / From the mute sky.” You’ll be wise to borrow the spirit of that mischievous declaration. Now is a good time to solicit input from the sky, as well as from your allies and friends and favorite animals, and from every other source that might provide you with interesting feedback. I invite you to regard the whole world as your mirror, your counselor, your informant.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In January 1493, the notorious pirate and kidnapper Christopher Columbus was sailing his ship near the land we now call the Dominican Republic. He spotted three creatures he assumed were mermaids. Later he wrote in his log that they were “not half as beautiful as they are painted [by artists].” We know now that the “mermaids” were actually manatees, aquatic mammals with flippers and paddle-shaped tails. They are in fact quite beautiful in their own way, and would only be judged as homely by a person comparing them to mythical enchantresses. I trust you won’t make a similar mistake, Sagittarius. Evaluate everything and everyone on their own merits, without comparing them to something they’re not.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I want what we all want,” writes novelist Jonathan Lethem. “To move certain parts of the interior of myself into the exterior world, to see if they can be embraced.” Even if you haven’t passionately wanted that lately, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon. That’s a good thing, because life will be conspiring with you to accomplish it. Your ability to express yourself in ways that are meaningful to you and interesting to other people will be at a peak.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Using algorithms to analyze 300 million facts, a British scientist concluded that April 11, 1954, was the most boring day in history. A Turkish man who would later become a noteworthy engineer was born that day, and Belgium staged a national election. But that’s all. With this non-eventful day as your inspiration, I encourage you to have fun reminiscing about the most boring times in your own past. I think you need a prolonged respite from the stimulating frenzy of your daily rhythm. It’s time to rest and relax in the sweet luxury of nothingness and emptiness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Blue Room is a famous Picasso painting from 1901. Saturated with blue hues, it depicts a naked woman taking a bath. More than a century after its creation, scientists used X-rays to discover that there was an earlier painting beneath The Blue Room and obscured by it. It shows a man leaning his head against his right hand. Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield says that there are some people who are “like a painting hidden beneath another painting.” More of you Pisceans fit that description than any other sign of the zodiac. You may even be like a painting beneath a painting beneath a painting—to a depth of five or more paintings. Is that a problem? Not necessarily. But it is important to be fully aware of the existence of all the layers. Now is a good time to have a check-in. ∆

The DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) Contract goal is 5.5 percent. For the federal training program, the number of trainees or apprentices is 4.

Bids must be submitted under sealed cover plainly marked as a bid and identified with the project number, the date and time for receipt of sealed bids, and the name of the bidder.

Bids must be accompanied by cash, a certified or cashier’s check, or a bidder’s bond in favor of the County in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the submitted total Bid. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22300, the successful bidder may substitute certain securities for funds withheld by County to ensure performance under the Contract or, in the alternative, request the County to make payment of retention to an escrow agent.

The successful bidder will be required to furnish the County with payment and performance bonds, with each issued by a California admitted surety insurer equal to 100% of the Contract Price.

Bidders must take necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have opportunity to participate in the Contract (49 CFR 26).

Pursuant to section 1770 et seq. of the California Labor Code, the Contractor and all Subcontractors shall pay not less than the prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations and comply with all applicable Labor Code provisions, which include, but are not limited to the employment of apprentices, the hours of labor, and the debarment of Contractors and Subcontractors. The Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations determines the general prevailing wage rates. Copies are available at the Office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors or at the DIR website, http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD. Federal funds are being used on this project, and therefore, the Davis-Bacon Act (2 CFR part 200 Appendix II(D) and 29 CFR Part 5) apply. The Federal minimum wage rates for this project as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are set forth in the Special Provisions. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the prevailing wage rates determined to be applicable to this contract by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and Subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate.

Notice of Requirement for Affirmative Action 1. The offeror’s or bidder’s attention is called to the “Equal Opportunity Clause” and the “Standard Federal Equal Employment Specifications” set forth herein.

2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor’s aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows: A. Goals for minority participation for each trade: 24.6% B. Goals for female participation in each trade: 6.9% These goals are applicable to all the Contractor’s construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and nonfederally involved construction.

The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR part 60- 4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor’s goals shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR part 604. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation.

The notification shall list the name, address and telephone number of the Subcontractor; employer identification number of the Subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the Subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the Subcontract; and the geographical area in which the Subcontract is to be performed.

4. As used in this Notice, and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the “covered area” is San Luis Obispo County, California.

COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION

By order of the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Luis Obispo made this 23rd day of April, 2019.

SUMMARY A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO, AMENDING TITLE 11 (PARKS AND RECREATION), CHAPTER 11.04, SECTION 11.04.130 SKATING AND MODEL PLANES On Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 9:00 A.M., the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing to consider amending Title 11 (Parks and Recreation), Chapter 11.04, Section 11.04.130 which was introduced at the April 9, 2019 regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors. This hearing will be held at the Board of Supervisors Chambers, County Government Center, 1055 Monterey Street Room #D170, San Luis Obispo, CA. The Board of Supervisors Chambers are located on the corner of Santa Rosa and Monterey Streets. At the hearing all interested persons may express their views for or against, or to change the proposal.

The amended ordinance is summarized as follows: The San Luis Obispo County Parks Ordinance with respect to skating and skateparks is outdated. Most skate parks in other jurisdictions are operated without a monitor on site. In order to meet the requirements of Health & Safety Code section 115800, the existing provisions need to address the general welfare and safety of the public, including requiring safety gear be worn while skating during the hours of operation at County parks. Updating Title 11, Chapter 11.04, Section 11.04.130 will require that skating safety equipment be worn in Los Osos skate park and other future county skate parks while skateboarding or participating in any activity in the skate parks. The amended Chapter 11.04, Section 11.04.130 clarifies and expands terms and definitions related to skateboards, skates and other wheel recreational devices used in any county park or facility.

A copy of the full text of the proposed amendment is posted in the office of the clerk of the Board of Supervisors or available for review the Wednesday before the scheduled hearing date on the County’s website at www.slocounty. ca.gov. For further information: You may contact the Parks and Recreation Department at (805) 781-5930.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon-

LegaL Notices sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (805) 543-7088 or visit this Internet Web site www. http://eloandata.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 42004.

PAGE 2: STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. Removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining order are effective.

However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or you own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs.

WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during a marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.
