WHAT DO WE WANT? Local residents took to the streets beginning Oct. 5, in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York and other cities in the country. Roughly 100 protesters attended the first gathering in front of the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court, but numbers dwindled in the days that followed. Organizers of the Occupy SLO movement, like their counterparts on Wall Street, seemed to have a difficult time clarifying their message. After the first protest, where someone showed up with a lost dog poster, organizer Pete Evans sent out an e-mail that read: “Bring sigs [sic] and try to stick to our message, this is not about lost puppies or the injustices in Burma (those are very important to us, we will address them as we grow stronger). We [are] about social and economic justice … .”

Crews begin Montebello dives A massive, multi-agency effort is underway to figure out just how much oil lingers in the hull of the long-sunken World War II-era tanker, the S.S. Montebello, which has rested for more than 70 years on the seafloor approximately seven miles off the Cambria coast. On Oct. 11, the United States Coast Guard held a press conference outside its Morro Bay station to outline the project and describe how officials will

determine what needs to be done with the vessel. The effort—being undertaken by the Coast Guard, the California Department of Fish and Game’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Caltrans, state Sen. Sam Blakeslee’s office, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute—is the first of its kind in California. In order to complete the mission, the Coast Guard and Fish and Game hired Seattle-based company Global Diving & Salvage to operate

unmanned remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) to explore the sunken vessel’s hull. According to Kerry Walsh, project manager for Global Diving & Salvage, crews began work on a Coast Guard vessel anchored at the Montebello site on Oct. 10. Walsh said the mission will likely last 10 days. The project involves sending ROVs to conduct “hot tapping,” a process of drilling small holes into the 30 cargo and oil tanks, taking samples of the tanks’ contents, and resealing the tanks to prevent possible leakage, Walsh said. Though Global Salvage has completed similar projects in the past, Walsh said, the depth at which the Montebello rests—approximately 900 feet below the ocean’s surface—makes this project unprecedented. “It’s just cool and exciting,” he said of the effort. The ROVs will also conduct echo tests to determine the integrity of the hull, as well as tests of sediment surrounding the tanker. Money for the project comes from the federal Oil Spill Liability trust fund. Just days before Christmas in 1941, and less than two weeks after the Pearl Harbor attack, NEWS continued page 6

the S.S. Montebello was hit by a Japanese torpedo while the tanker was on its way to British Columbia. The government has conducted a number of dive surveys in the past, none of which found any signs of leakage. By all estimates, the hull is still intact. But the million-dollar question is: For how long? And what would the consequences be if it leaks? At the time of its sinking, the Montebello held an estimated 3 million gallons of crude oil. Blakeslee, whose legislation established the Montebello Assessment Task Force, said he was glad to see the effort underway. “In the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon [in which an offshore drilling rig owned by BP exploded in the Gulf of Mexico], we need to stand up and be proactive when it comes to possibly catastrophic situations like this,” Blakeslee told New Times. —Matt Fountain

Trucks are no longer hauling through Santa Margarita After hearing early concerns from residents, solar energy giant SunPower has ceased hauling gravel through Santa Margarita.

On Oct. 6, New Times reported that SunPower—with a blessing from San Luis Obispo County officials—had altered truck routes to transport gravel to its 250-megawatt facility in the California Valley. Due to delays in the permitting process for the onsite Twisselman Mine, proposed just miles from the project, the company switched gravel suppliers to Hanson Aggregates in Santa Margarita—but without public input from residents and contrary to the traffic plan proposed during the project’s environmental review. According to an e-mail between county Environmental Coordinator Ellen Carroll and a resident, “SunPower has halted all aggregate trucks using Santa Margarita Highway 58 west.” The change was made on Oct. 6. In an Oct. 7 letter from county Planning and Building Director Jason Giffen to SunPower, he said the project’s permits “do not allow for aggregate truck trips from the Santa Margarita Highway 58 area.” Giffen said the project’s permits do not allow for trucks to come from the Santa Margarita area, but only along Highway 58 east of the project. “We are aware that the Twisselman Mine is not quite operational and therefore the county will expedite all permits necessary so that SunPower can start using aggregate as soon as possible,” the letter continues. Yet residents are still asking questions of county officials; most significantly, they want to know who made the decision. According to the e-mail from Carroll to one resident, the amendment to the traffic plan that allowed trucks from Santa Margarita was proposed by SunPower. For the week beginning Oct. 10, the county allowed SunPower to bring in aggregate on Highway 58, from the east. A follow-up meeting between the county and SunPower is scheduled for Oct. 14. —Colin Rigley

Cal Poly probes sorority after underage drinking incident Cal Poly is investigating an incident in which a student was taken to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center after a night of drinking, according to university officials. Officials are trying to find out what happened at a Sept. 28 party in which applicants were to find out if they had been accepted to the Alpha Phi sorority. According to the university, someone called 911 when an underage, freshman Cal Poly student required medical attention due to excessive drinking. The Student Life and Leadership section of Cal Poly is investigating. The findings are scheduled to be revealed at a closed door meeting set for 10 a.m. on Oct. 13 at the University Student Union. Stephen Lamb, director of Student Life and Leadership, said the investigation was triggered when the student’s father filed a complaint. Lamb said the sorority could face sanctions if it’s found to have been involved. Cal Poly has been especially watchful of Greek organizations and alcohol since the death of Carson Starkey, a freshman who died Dec. 2, 2008, following a fraternity initiation ritual at which he was compelled to drink large quantities of alcohol. Some Sigma Alpha Epsilon members put Starkey in a vehicle to take him

Katcho scores a win with his state hospital bill

Beginning Jan. 1, 2012, San Luis Obispo County will be able to recoup costs from local cases for some patients going through Atascadero State Hospital and other state mental hospitals. Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian’s Assembly Bill 1016 passed both houses of the Legislature unanimously and was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown on Oct. 9. When it takes effect, the new law will allow SLO and other counties to recoup from the state court costs associated with mentally disordered offenders, one of five classifications of patients housed at ASH. SLO County conducts nearly 500 such cases each year, according to a news release from Achadjian’s office, but was previously left to cover the cost. The money will be

Robert Jackson “The older you get, the harder it is to get back on your feet,” Robert Jackson lamented. Jackson was released from prison in February of this year and has been on the streets since he got out. He had never been homeless in his life, but a week after his release, with nowhere else to go, he turned up in the local homeless shelter. But he said he caught bronchitis during his brief stay there. Since then, he has preferred to live on the street. He frequents the Prado Day Center for showers and meals, but he never stays long, saying the environment of hopelessness gets to him. “They’re like zombies,” he said, describing the others who use the center’s facilities, many of them in need of mental help. Jackson isn’t the kind to panhandle downtown or sit by the side of the road with a cardboard sign. He said he needs to find

used to cover cases of mentally disordered offenders who petition to be released back into the community from ASH and other hospitals. “… The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney will have the resources he needs to keep these dangerous offenders off of our streets,” Achadjian said in the news release. Achadjian’s legislation now joins a handful of other bills aimed at reform of the state’s mental hospital system. Sen. Sam Blakeslee’s Senate Bill 796, which made bringing contraband into hospitals a misdemeanor, was approved on Aug. 31. Northern California legislators have also pushed bills after Napa State Hospital psychiatric technician Donna Gross was murdered by a patient late last year. Sen. Noreen Evans’ SB 60 requires a risk evaluation for patients being committed to a state hospital. Assemblyman Michael Allen was successful in passing AB 366, which makes it easier for hospital staff to involuntarily medicate some patients. —Colin Rigley

transportation, work, and a place to live—in that order. He’s able to provide landscaping, maintenance, and housekeeping assistance. He’s also looking for someone willing to donate (or sell cheaply) a car or truck, which would help him in securing a job. “It’s not that I’m lazy or anything,” he insisted, “but now that Cal Poly’s back, they are taking all the jobs.” Indeed, many local businesses are much keener to a hire freshfaced, able-bodied college student over a streetdwelling older gentleman with a shady past—no matter how badly the latter might want to turn his life around.

The little anomaly that could How a mysterious, pixilated discovery got the attention of planetary geologists, conspiracy theorists, and British tabloids

avid Martines still isn’t sure what he found on Mars last May. It caught his attention because it was white and angular, a contrast to the rest of the planet’s dusty, rust-colored surface. A San Luis Obispo native who works in real estate, Martines often used Google Earth for work, but one evening, he wandered off the grid to the program’s Mars Explorer. The white, cylindrical anomaly happened to have been the first thing he zoomed in on. Based on Google’s latitude and longitude measurements, Martines estimated the thing to be about 700 feet long and 150 feet wide. The more he looked at the anomaly—located at 71 49’19.73”N 29 33’06.53”W—the more he knew what it resembled. “I didn’t see anything else like it, and the more I thought about it, it just looked like a space station,” Martines said. “I actually took a few still shots of it and sent it to NASA, and said, ‘Hey, what’s this?’ Thinking that they’re going to get back to me!” He laughed good naturedly. “They didn’t get back to me.” Curious to know what others thought of the anomaly, Martines decided to make a short video to post to his YouTube channel (YouTube.com/TheCalifornian). It’s just a modest 2 1/2-minute clip of Martines’ computer screen, as he slowly zooms on the white speck, narrating with his calm, even voice. “I’m calling it Bio Station Alpha, because I’m assuming someone is living in it, or has lived in it,” Martines says in the clip. At the end, he invites viewers to

share their thoughts. And share they did. It was a spaceship, a satellite, a rock, a clump of ice, a government conspiracy. The clip quickly went viral. Sci-fi bloggers, annoyed skeptics, and conspiracy theorists weighed in. Within days, the British tabloid The Sun had broken the story of the “Google geek” and “armchair astronaut” who had discovered a possible space station on the red planet. (Wheelchair astronaut would have been more accurate, though it would have broken the alliterative pattern.) Not to be outdone, Britain’s Daily Mail picked up the story as well. At the time, the clip had pulled in 200,000 views. Then, the story made it back over to the United States. For comment, MSNBC’s “Life’s Little Mysteries” turned to Alfred McEwen, a planetary geologist at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Lab, director of the Planetary Imaging Research Laboratory, and principal investigator of the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), a powerful telescope in orbit around Mars. McEwen explained the anomaly was a glitch in the image caused by the interference of cosmic energy with the satellite camera. “With space images that are taken outside our magnetosphere, such as those taken by orbiting telescopes, it’s very common to see these cosmic ray hits,” MARS continued page 11

EARTHBOUND EXPLORER David Martines discovered an anomaly on the red planet’s surface using Google Earth’s Mars Explorer. Experts attributed the finding to a cosmic ray, but Internet conspiracy theorists have other ideas.

News MARS from page 10

McEwen told MSNBC. “You see them on optical images and a lot of the infrared images, too.” Despite (or because of) this, the video’s hits ticked away. On Fox, Dr. Michio Kaku—theoretical physicist, author, and physics professor at the City University of New York—was called upon to explain the fuzzy white shape. “Every scientist’s dream is to find a spaceship on Mars,” Kaku conceded. “However, the truth is more mundane.” His thoughts echoed those of McEwen’s: “Probably it’s a cosmic ray track that went through the camera, and digital software then magnified the pixels that are aligned in a streak.” Right around this time, Martines said, as the number of hits passed 2 million, the number of embeds at approximately 85,000, something highly unfortunate occurred: He deleted the video. It happened at around 2 a.m. Martines was tinkering with his YouTube account and accidentally removed the clip. “Isn’t that funny?” he remembers thinking. “I was actually pretty distraught over that. I don’t care now.” Though he immediately reposted it, the video disappeared permanently from the 85,000 places it had been embedded, leading to a YouTube conspiracy storm of another sort, he said. Martines’s Internet following raged. YouTube had censored the video. Shame! No, NASA had shut down the video to cover its tracks! No, it was the United States government! “I was doing my disaster recovery efforts,” Martines said. “They said the government took it down and all of this. I needed to contact a few people and set them straight and say, ‘No, I screwed up.’” By July, the media buzz had largely fizzled. But on the Internet, the thing is still news. People continue to discover it and postulate their own theories and opinions, some eloquently, some in outraged capital letters. “I think it’s more likely to be a research base or something NASA built and just didn’t list on the ol’ government receipts,” writes one steadfast believer. “I don’t blame you for being excited about finding something that clearly looks artificial, but on the other hand, your eagerness to label it as an intelligent construction is more than a bit childish,” sniffs a skeptic. The re-posted clip still averages 500 new views per day. Though Martines admitted he’s rather tired of it by now, his growing viewership won’t let the possibility of a space station on Mars die. “It’s kind of out of control for me. I don’t pay that much attention to it,” he shrugs. “I go in and I read the comments and stuff, but I’m not really that into it. It’s been taken over, pretty much.” Martines’ clip urged the curious to scope out the anomaly’s coordinates for themselves. But in a funny new development, recent visits back to 71 49’19.73”N 29 33’06.53”W have turned up nothing but red dirt. The infamous Bio Station is gone. “Maybe it flew it away,” he said, looking unconvinced—or maybe just over it. ∆

Turning back the clock a bit, late August marked SLO Fest, which invited Cal Poly alumni back to San Luis Obispo for a good cause. The school recently reported that the event, also a kidney-cancer-kicking benefit for Autumn Cannon, raised $10,446. Cannon was diagnosed with kidney cancer in March, and her family has been dealing with the subsequent chemotherapy and radiation treatments, travel for medical reasons, and the stress of the whole situation. Itchy McGuirk band members reunited in 2010 for a concert to memorialize a former founding member, kicking off the inaugural SLO Fest, an alumni-based private foundation that helps local charities in memory of the late Mark Kafoury. For the 2011 version, organizers decided to set their sights on raising funds for the nonprofit Jack’s Helping Hand in support of Cannon and her family. For more information, visit slofest.org.

HAVE INSTRUMENTS, WILL TEACH Bonnie teVelde believes that learning music should be fun; she incorporates this philosophy into teVelde Music Inc.

orn with absolute pitch, the inherent ability to recognize musical notes, Bonnie teVelde has always been musically inclined. She would reach up on her tip-toes to play the piano in her childhood home. Her musical chronology began there, followed by a rude and demanding piano teacher, a life-altering accident that left her in physical rehabilitation and no longer able to sit at the instrument, and the chance to start again on accordion with a teacher who was nurturing and enthusiastic. All of these events contributed to her dream of starting a music school that would be unique from all of the others. Her dream became a reality in 1997, when she started the first location of her business, teVelde Music Inc. in Arroyo Grande. She opened her second location in SLO just two months ago. “Statistically, 83 percent of students quit their instrument within the first year. With us, it has been the exact opposite—we’ve had only 22 percent quit each year, and a majority of those were students who have moved or begun high school.” Students come from all over the Central Coast, some traveling all the way from Santa Barbara for their classes. She achieves this kind of dedication by her process of choosing teachers. Between the two schools, there are 12 instructors, all with vibrant personalities. teVelde hires teachers who, instead of being mainly musicians, are primarily trained in working with children, and who have nurturing traits—namely preschool teachers with a background in music. “I want the teachers to learn as much from the students as the students learn from them,” she explained. As performers are generally known to have intense, practice-driven, and detailoriented personalities, picking less-austere teachers for children is crucial for learning. Her motto is “Ban the word ‘practice.’” In its stead, teachers encourage a student’s talent by asking, “Won’t you please play for me?”

She also includes up-to-date interactive technology, to keep things exciting and modern. Her goal is for students to stay with the school for 10 to 15 years, and to be filled with excitement the whole way through. teVelde Inc. accepts children as young as 2 years old, due to teVelde’s teaching theories involving absolute pitch. Students are either born with this musical trait or must begin lessons before age 6 to allow for it to develop, and once it’s ingrained, it will be with them for the rest of their lives. So far, the hypothesis has produced 12 students, ranging between the ages of 3 and 12, who’ve successfully been taught absolute pitch, she said. The new space at 3440 S. Higuera St. is 920 square feet, with five teaching rooms fully equipped for any instrument. The school specializes in piano and offers classes in voice, drums, guitar, harp, mandolin, violin, banjo, bass, and more. Parents can take classes alongside their children for no extra charge. teVelde relayed an anecdote about one of the students making a bed for themselves in a bass drum. “I want the students to have to be pulled out, not forced in,” she said. For more information about teVelde Music, Inc., visit teveldemusic.com or call 474-1224 (Arroyo Grande) or 543-1064 (San Luis Obispo).

Questions for: LARISSA ORMONDE

Dive Master National Park Service, Ventura

NEW TIMES When did you discover your passion for diving? ORMONDE I started diving when I was 13, and I’ve been diving for 11 years. My stepdad was an instructor for the Army, so he taught me diving in Morro Bay. NEW TIMES How do you feel your degree in environmental management and protection has helped you in your field? ORMONDE I feel it has forced me to objectively evaluate situations. It gave me a valid methodology for decision-making. NEW TIMES What are some cool places you have dived? ORMONDE Guadalupe Island in Mexico, I was diving with white sharks. I also enjoyed the vibrant rock fish I saw while diving in Big Sur. NEW TIMES Have you ever found yourself in a precarious position while diving? ORMONDE I’ve had a few. I was diving with white sharks in Mexico, and we were chumming while underwater. Chumming is illegal at Guadalupe and regulations are enforced by the questionable Mexican Navy. I was about 40 feet down when I looked up and saw a panga boat from the Mexican Navy coming toward our boat. At that point, I jettisoned the bait bag and started bringing the shark cage back up to the surface as directed. As I was about to surface, one of the passengers in the cage tapped me on the shoulder and handed me back the bag of bait that he had retrieved. At this time the sharks were swarming and I thought I was going to die. I surfaced to the barrel of a gun held by a Mexican Navy dude, pointed down at me. I was like “Hola, como estas?” And I waited until the captain paid him off. ∆

Lawyers uphold society; without them, the Constitution would be powerless

s president of the San Luis Obispo County Bar Association and a lawyer in local practice since 1976, I am proud of my colleagues in our area who exemplify not only client service but service to our whole community and the larger society beyond. Many of the attorneys in our county contribute long hours as volunteers to community programs that emanate from the Bar Association, among those the Lawyer Information and Referral Service of the Bar. Such community service programs are described in detail on the San Luis Obispo County Bar Association website (slobar.org), which itself is a public service in addition to serving attorneys. Please join in celebrating the contributions of local attorneys by attending two special Bar Association engagements. The justices of the California Appellate Court for our region will speak at noon on Oct. 20 at the Madonna Inn and California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye will speak at noon on Nov. 17 at the Embassy Suites. Admission is $35 for each event, which includes a delectable lunch. You can register for the events on the San Luis Obispo County Bar Association website. Lawyers uphold society; without them, the Constitution would be powerless. Laws in the absence of lawyers have no substance. Lawyers bring laws to life, help remove laws that violate the Constitution, and refine the law through cases they pursue on behalf of their clients. The public relies on lawyers to protect rights in civil and criminal courts. Giant companies and individuals who do wrong are brought to justice by lawyers. Our justice system is robust thanks to lawyers. Former Chief Justice Ronald George in a speech

at UC Berkeley in June related his history as the son of poor immigrants who engendered in him a sense of service. He viewed his experience in law school, first at Princeton and later Stanford, as preparing him for a career in service. His dedication to a life of service led to an appointment to the bench and eventually to the Supreme Court. There were times, he said, when he had to make difficult choices and though he sometimes struggled in deliberations, he knew the right decision would be that which best serves society and the rule of law. Abraham Lincoln, who is famous for his passion for the law and justice, epitomized the profession. He advised: “Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still

be business enough.” Lincoln, we remember, fought some of the most powerful and dangerous segments of society to protect the rights of the weakest, knowing that justice for them had to be achieved to preserve the Constitution and the rights of everyone. In that regard, he said: “This is essentially a People’s contest. On the side of the Union, it is a struggle for maintaining in the world, that form, and substance of government, whose leading object is, to elevate the condition of men—to lift artificial weights from all shoulders—to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all—to afford all, an unfettered start, and a fair chance, in the race of life.” (July 4, 1861, Message to Congress) The civil rights laws that were passed during President Johnson’s administration were enforced by courageous lawyers who acted as did Lincoln, for the same purposes. In that spirit, lawyers continue working to eliminate the pockets of prejudice and inequality that still weaken our society. Lawyers draft wills and trusts, secure property rights, protect financial transactions, assist adoptions, help resolve family disputes, and pursue and defend civil rights; in fact, every aspect of our life as a civilized, just nation depends upon the good work of lawyers. Whether encouraging and assisting clients toward settlement in negotiations, pursuing or upholding their rights, or protecting their economic interests, lawyers serve. Please join in celebrating their service. ∆ David C. Peterson is co-chair of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the Bar Association, chair of the Santa Barbara County Bar Association ADR Section, and president of the San Luis Obispo County Bar Association.

The letter “Occupy San Luis Obispo!” (Oct. 6) suggests, “We can not afford to let corporations run the country any longer.” I agree! The conservatives have been telling us for a long time that it is illegal and unconstitutional for the government to pick winners and losers using bailouts and loan guarantees or let the corporations run the country. This administration is happy to help set up its own opposition groups to help defuse the blame for its own failure to operate in a legal and constitutional manner. So keep writing those letters to New Times, take your money out of Bank of America, and vote the present administration out of office so they can’t bail out Bank of America ever again.

This is a reply to the “Review the eucalyptusreplacement facts” letter that appeared in the Oct. 6 New Times. Even though Audubon owns the land, they have to go through the permitting process, which is governed by regulations such as the Estero Area Plan. The project number, DRC2011-00013, was included on the fliers so that people could see it for themselves, because the permitting process does include public input. The fliers were not intended to divide the community, but rather to make the community aware of what was happening to this famous landmark, enjoyed by numerous people. We need to protect this special, already established ecosystem: “an unusual (though man-made) combination of saltwater marsh, freshwater spring, cypress and eucalyptus grove” (Estero Area Plan words), which is providing active and potential habitat for microorganisms, insects, monarch butterflies, reptiles, birds, mammals, and fish. The fliers hoped to unite everyone by giving a middle ground solution: Do you support a combination of goals that would include “keeping the high canopy eucalyptus forest

Vote in next week’s poll at www.newtimesslo.com and the various habitats that are already established, while developing the veldt grass area with new native plants, ground cover, and smaller native trees for an even greater diversity of birds and animals.”? And another handout adds: Isn’t this the best of both worlds? Plus we preserve the environmental features of a good windbreak, sound barrier, and clean air! More observations: There are two totally different established “natural parks” in Los Osos: one with wonderful, shorter “native” ecosystems—the Elfin Forest—and one with the amazing “native/non-native” interconnected ecosystems. And we are on the Pacific Flyway with a national estuary! Changes that we make may have far-reaching consequences. Many trees and bushes in Los Osos have died recently due to disease and insects. When our groundwater table is lowered in the near future, we will see even more changes. We need to keep all the established trees and bushes that we can. The project document can be seen at http:// www.slocounty.ca.gov/Assets/PL/referrals/ coastal/DRC2011-00013_MORRO-COASTAUDUBON-SOCIETY.pdf.

Consider habitat diversity

Los Osos

I attended the Audubon event and read the

Russell Hodin

article in the SLO County Journal by Holly Sletteland, and it was not until I received a flier that I became aware of the plan to incrementally remove 120 eucalyptus trees to plant native habitat, increasing small-bird diversity (“Review the eucalyptus-replacement facts,” Oct. 6). I felt these fliers were only to inform the community and not to divide them, and if I had not seen them would not have known about meetings. Sweet Springs is one of the only beautiful high-canopy forests in the county. Many of the trees—including our pines and cypress—as well as many bushes are dying from diseases. Eucalyptus are healthy trees that are surviving in today’s constantly changing environment. Besides a sanctuary for humans, it is home to owls, hawks, egrets, monarch butterflies, and other species. People come from all over to paint and photograph this beautiful area. Spas all over the world use eucalyptus for breathing treatments. Many things have changed over 100 years. There are toxins in the air, climate differences, and concerns with carbon footprints removing precious oxygen from our area. There are many areas in Los Osos where small-bird diversity already exists. If Audubon would plant the veldt grass area with native plants and small trees in addition to trees that are thriving so well, we would have the diversity of both habitats. It is very important for everyone interested to visit the little pier at the end of Baywood and look across the bay at the wonderful trees. Many of these are going to be removed. Also take into consideration how long this new growth will take to thrive in today’s evolving climate. Carol Baker

A beach/dunes closure would be a good thing

I agree with South County residents about the Oceano Dunes/Beach driving activities. I did not mind the cars 25 years ago when I moved here. There were not many. Now their number is overwhelming; I resent not being able to spend safe time with the children on a beach a few blocks away from home. I resent the sand and dust that clog Pier Avenue and vicinity. I attended the public hearing and I heard the Air Pollution Control District state that the county helped pay the expert whom State Parks hired to examine solutions to the PM10 problem. Unfair! State Parks pollutes our air, and the county, instead of stopping it, helps it pay to find remedies. Closing Oceano Beach/Dunes to vehicles will be a painful change for some people; I feel for them. However, I don’t doubt that it will be a good change. We will be able to promote harmless and safe activities. For example, Pismo Beach operates a free shuttle that takes tourists to Avila and back. Why can’t the ride include Grover and Oceano? People could walk around the lagoons, visit the Nature Center, walk to the old train depot and have tacos in downtown Old Oceano, and stroll on Pier Avenue to the beach. They could stop for coffee, ice cream, or food on the way, just like most tourists do. Actually, more people would be put to work and we all would be so much healthier and happier. Ivan Paulson

gang members, and assassins, federal law enforcements officials would be all over them with possible criminal charges, incarceration, and accomplice charges in the resulting crimes. Yet when that person is the attorney general of the United States, the media and our local Congresswoman let him off the hook? I have to bet that former Attorney General John Mtichell is currently turning over in his grave. Can anyone hear anything but the sound of silence wafting its way out of the media mouthpiece of Lois Capps’ office? I thought that the last time of many, in which she “swore under oath” to “preserve and protect the Constitution,” that she may have actually meant it? I was always taught that not voicing your opinion in the face of such egregious things was simply the same as agreeing with them by voting with silence! So, is that what our honorable elected member of Congress is actually doing? Oh, I forgot. Let’s play her prerecorded message over again: “It’s all George Bush and the Republicans’ fault.” Doesn’t anyone else get tired of her blame game? I thought adults moved on beyond that after the 3rd grade? Robert Scott

Legalize it!

I grow and use marijuana for my glaucoma. I have never sold or bought it. It is a plant that has been grown and used since civilization started. The time has come to legalize and tax it to the max rather than fill our jails and waste police time trying to control it. Legalizing marijuana will reduce a lot of the crime and murders in Mexico where it is grown for illegal sale in the United States. Let’s live up to our name: Homo sapiens (meaning “man wise”).

Democrats claim that the Republicans have no “plan.” Nonsense! They have a plan: Make permanent the tax cuts for the wealthiest, so they can build their factories in China; ship American jobs overseas (Whitman and Fiorini); move their business and their money (on paper) to Dubai and the Cayman Islands to avoid paying taxes (Halliburton); privatize Social Security, so those with no discretionary money to invest in the stock market will face an impoverished old age; repeal health insurance reform and block Universal Health Care, so the working poor will die sooner; and take away women’s rights to choose what to do with their own bodies. Sounds like a plan to me! When I hear, see, and read about hardworking people of the disappearing middle class supporting the perpetrators of this “plan,” I am stunned at the success of the propaganda machine, which has convinced them to abandon the party that gave them Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and Civil Rights, because it hasn’t been quick enough to undo the rape of America’s economy by the deregulation of unfettered capitalism and unregulated “free trade.” Then, the poor dupes boast they’re going to vote these flag-waving, self-interested destroyers of the American Dream and protectors of the elite back into office. Historians and philosophers have warned us for centuries tha an under-informed electorate is easily swayed by those who seek power. Here it is, happening again. Istar Holliday

Eliminate birthdates on job applications

on age? It is easy to look at the birth date and invent a dozen other excuses to turn down the applicant who has never been interviewed. There is no way to prove the decision was based on age. I am 65 and very physically fit, athletic, and in excellent health. How can an employer determine these assets when the initial contact is almost always by e-mail? Back in the good old days, there were help-wanted signs and phone call ads so the employer could meet the applicant in person and learn first-hand if that person had a charming, magnetic personality, a good smile, and was physically fit. Communication by computers eliminates this interaction. Friends say I look 15 to 20 years younger than my age, and they see my physical fitness, but how can e-mail verify it? I realize most employers are too busy for a lot of phone calls, yet if they just set

aside an hour a day at the slowest time for strictly initial phone interviews, it is a step in the right direction. I have also had a problem with the previous job listings in applications because I have owned my own businesses for most of my life and cannot list “myself” as a reference! Steven Swegles

The Shredder

My two cents Dear Shredder, This guy at my work is a real snot-nosed narc. He keeps calling attention to the fact that Atascadero city employees are violating their own rules about vacation time for employees. How do I go about shutting him up? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried expressing my annoyance at City Council meetings but he just keeps bringing it up, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to make us all look bad. Frankly, we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any help in that department. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Annoyed in Atascadero Dear Annoyed, Have you tried taping â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kick meâ&#x20AC;? notes to his back? Also, nothing says â&#x20AC;&#x153;get lost!â&#x20AC;? like a flaming bag of poop on his doorstep. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune to Post-it notes and excrement, you could try reasoning with him. Sit Mike Brennler down over a nice cuppa tea and explain, rationally, that what the two of you are quibbling over is six of one and half a dozen of another. Honestly, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no difference between Atascadero city employees working and Atascadero city employees sipping Mai Tais on a beach in Hawaii. Essentially, the outcome is the same: The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broke, and City Manager Wade McKinney thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to break the rules because they never obeyed the rules in the first place. On the plus side, you can take solace in the fact that you live in Atascadero, where people are used to hearing about Congress-level dumb-assery on a regular basis. So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably get a free pass with this one.

Dear Shredder, My entire adult life Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a fan of renewable energy. But, when I think about SunPower, my hard-on for green energy wilts like a flower without sun. How do I reconcile my desire for solar energy with my distrust? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Questioning in California Valley Dear Questioning, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that SunPower has displayed certain Machiavellian tendencies not typically in line with the green energy movement. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough space to chronicle the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boners, so try to imagine an â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s montage complete with giant bags of cash, slick PR talk, and dead kangaroo rats. Feel free to hum your favorite butt-rock anthem as we stroll down memory lane. Early on, SunPower started, shall we call it, dabbling in local politics. In 2009, planning commissioner Sarah Christie was forced to step down. Two major solar projects were coming upâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one of which was SunPowerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Christie did her job a little too well. After the solar bullies exerted some well-meaning political pressure, supervisor Jim Patterson folded like a soufflĂŠ. Soon, Christie was gone, leaving a wake of gutless yes-men on the planning commission. Fast forward to April, when SunPower sold a majority share to French oil giant Total SA, meaning the company is now just a hop, skip, and oil-soaked pelican away from environmental rape. Recently, you might remember how they

tweaked their plans in a way that sent gravel trucks barreling through Santa Margarita and conveniently forgot to tell the town. Oopsies! And when the public found out, the company quickly changed the routes back as if nothing had happened. Environmental Impact Reports are just formalities anyway, right? After all, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already ousted the woman asking the pointed questions. You should be about finished humming â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Not Gonna Take It!â&#x20AC;? by now. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too inspired. I guess the short answer, Questioning, is that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re screwed. Dear Shredder, I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having a problem communicating. Every week I go to the Board of Supervisors and say the exact same thing and nobody seems to listen. Also, my application to lynch Paavo Ogren and Maria Kelly was rejected, AGAIN. What am I doing wrong? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Los Osos Sewer Nut Dear Nut, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I consider what I am about to say the most important piece of advice I have ever given: SHUT UP. For years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve listened to you rant about your sewer. You hate it. You really hate it. You want more funding. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not happy about the funding you got. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what you want, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you are either. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had years to formulate a cohesive statement, argument, manifesto, anything. Instead, all anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard for years is incoherent rambling

against anyone and everyone even remotely connected to Los Osos. And if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not on your sideâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whatever the hell side that happens to beâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re against you. There are two ways to go about this. One way is to sit down privately and try to reach a resolution. The other way is to grandstand on TV and the radio every week clearly getting nowhere. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve fallen in love with the sound of your own ramblings, and probably driven away people who might have something important to contribute to the subject. You have managed to accomplish nothing, really. Might I suggest a hobby? Perhaps crocheting unicorns onto pillowcases; believe it or not, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a more substantial contribution to society. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a cheapskate, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll happily chip in for yarn if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cork it. Dear Shredder, No one seems to recognize Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the boss now. I sit in the center seat. It even says â&#x20AC;&#x153;chairmanâ&#x20AC;? in my job title. But they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hang on my every word and kowtow to my every whim. I tell them to shut up. I even turn off their microphones during public comment. I got a cop to stand in the back of the room and everything. And they still wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do what I say. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking of bringing in my water-boarding kit from home. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Um â&#x20AC;Ś Anonymous Dear Supervisor Adam Hill â&#x20AC;Ś I mean Anonymous, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got nothing. It sounds like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really dug yourself in deep on this one. Good luck in 2012, buddy. â&#x2C6;&#x2020; Shredder crochets fishsticks onto vodka bottles.

Artifacts Two wheels rock, two wheels roll BY ANNA WELTNER

Women Behind the Walls, revived

Deborah Tobola, artistic director of the Poetic Justice Project—a theater company comprised of formerly incarcerated actors—has a lot in common with playwright Claire Braz-Valentine. Both taught creative writing to inmates, using their stories to craft works of original theater. And, likely because of this common source of inspiration, both have heavily addressed themes of crime, punishment, and redemption in their productions. It’s only right that BrazValentine’s Women Behind the Walls, written in 1995, is currently being revived by Tobola’s Poetic Justice Project. The show, which will feature a multiracial cast of five formerly incarcerated women, is set to play, fittingly, at Alcatraz on Friday, Oct. 21—in an actual jail cell. From there, the production will travel to several Northern California venues before returning to San Luis Obispo County in early November. But for Central Coast audiences, there’s a chance to catch this show first. A VIP preview of the play, directed by Molly Stuckey, takes place Monday, Oct. 17, at La Perla Del Mar at 205 Windward Ave. in Shell Beach. It’s a fundraising event, and tickets go for $100. That includes hors d’oeuvres before the show, dessert after, and an audience “talk-back” with the playwright, cast, and crew. Dining begins at 6 p.m.; the performance starts at 7. Reserve tickets at brownpapertickets.com, call the ticket hotline at 1-800-838-3006, or visit poeticjusticeproject.org. “This revival by Poetic Justice Project is a gift to the people of California,” Braz-Valentine stated in press materials. “Poetic Justice Project provides artistic outlets to formerly incarcerated people who are looking for a way to give back to the public. And it gives the public a look at real people who are locked behind bars.” According to the national advocacy group Action Committee for Women in Prison, only seven percent of all inmates in California are women. However, that statistic is quickly growing: Since 1986, that statistic has ballooned 340 percent, making female inmates the fastest-growing portion of the state prison population. Most are in prison for non-violent drug offenses. ∆

all along: the untapped artistic potential of a spinning wheel, a prosthetic limb, a crutch. “It’s a completely new movement vocabulary to work with,” Smith said. “It’s endless discovery.” Picture, for instance, this lovely sequence from choreographer Joe Goode’s piece “the beauty that was mine, through the middle, without stopping,” winner of the Isadora Duncan Dance Award: A couple, one be-wheeled, one not—this is like Axis’ version of a boy and a girl—launches into a pirouette, the able-bodied one leaping into the lap of her partner, extending her body into a flying position in his lap as they spin. Suddenly he’s on the ground, wheels in the air, like an upended beetle. She mimics the position of his legs in the air, before working her way, wormlike, over to the wheel and lying on top of it, turning like a propeller. It’s all strangely sexy. His body begins to revolve, more slowly, in the opposite direction, and the wheelchair looks like just a small cog in a much larger machine. But when Axis takes the stage at Cal Poly’s Alex and Faye Spanos Theatre on Oct. 15, the company will unveil some little-seen new work as well. “Full of Words,” choreographed by Marc Brew with collaboration from the dancers, debuted recently in Oakland.

The magical mystery tour

A few hidden and not-so-hidden gems of this year’s Open Studios Art Tour

here are strange and beautiful things happening around us, if you know where to look. Los Osos sculptor Bradley Sunnarborg built a bio-chamber that, through the use of photosynthesis, sustained a canary in an airtight environment for one month, and he called it art. Computer technician Steven Boothe, with help from his wife and daughters, harvests the innards of computers for use in making three-dimensional, abstract, inexplicable things. He calls them art, too, and so would I. Then

there’s Atascadero artist Abigail Gumbiner, who got into photography through photographing her sculptures, and now makes gorgeous sculptures out of her photographs. It’s hard to believe that all this creativity is flourishing in our own county, maybe even next door, while everyone else goes about their sad little business, paying taxes, watering ferns, eating low-fat yogurt. Oblivious. But really, how could we know about the creativity burbling softly beneath the surface of our county in a

converted barn, guest room, a garage? So discreetly does it often burble that many locals hardly notice it at all, between work and dinner and their Netflix Watch Instantly queue. And what are they supposed to do— just show up at these artists’ homes and studios and rap at the door, begging to be brought into their lush, imaginative worlds? Over the next three weekends, the answer is yes. Every year for more than a decade, hundreds of artists across the county have opened up their sacred

Carol Paquet, Arroyo Grande

When is nature art? When is art nature? Such questions fascinate Carol Paquet, whose 2,500-square-foot workspace, CorkStop Studios, founded in 2006 with fellow artist Anne Stahl, crouches at the foothills of the Los Padres National Forest. “I’m interested in the intersection of the natural landscape and abstraction,” her artist’s statement reads, “that place where reality dissolves and INCIDeNTAL is replaced with shapes and forms that take on BeAUTY Viewers taking the Open Studios Art another identity.” Born in modern-day Zambia and raised in South Tour will have a chance to discover the hallmarks Africa, Paquet majored in graphic design, later of a working studio, like going into advertising as an art director, working Paquet’s aesthetically in South Africa, England, and California. After pleasing scribbles. living and working in many different countries, she eventually settled on the Central Coast. The artist, whose work comprises half the current Steynberg Gallery show “Empty Spaces and Littered Places,” seems to enjoy tricking the eye a little. You’re not sure if what you’re looking at is a totally abstract image or a storm cloud over a city; if it’s up close or very far away; or, in the case of her latest series, whether the image is a painting of a misty morning or a photograph of a plastic bag. It’s likely all of those things. Paquet’s beautiful oil paintings are often just the beginning of a larger process; from there, she might proceed to cast strange shadows over them, photograph them, or even, in the case of her most recent work, draw on the photograph, creating a layered, wholly original piece. It’s a technique that began, as the best do, quite by accident. Of her two most recent series—“Heaven and Earth” and “Beautiful Decay”— she said, “I was inspired by lots of trips down the coast, and seeing all the litter on the side of the road.”

The Boothe family, San Luis Obispo

Steven Boothe is a trip! He’s like a techsavvy wizard who’s discovered an elixir for the sort of unadulterated joy known only to children, and, over the course of the day, takes heavy swigs of it from some invisible flask. The Cuesta College computer technician is also an amateur artist, having decided a little more than a year ago that he wanted to break into the artistic community. His first show, “More than Watching,” was a largescale, mosaic-like wall of spontaneous photographs bisecting the tiny Compact Gallery. The photos were shot in a rapidfire way, often bearing more resemblance to abstract paintings than to the roads and neighborhoods where they were taken. The shots were assembled according to time stamp, each row representing a few minutes in time. But he wanted his family to be part of

the art scene as well. Thus began the Boothe Family Collaborative, made up of him, his wife Linda, and their daughters Eliana, age 7, and Liliana, a.k.a. Nunu, age 3. Boothe’s preferred art forms are, technically speaking, photography, collage, and sculpture, but he has his own way of doing all these things. His whole family collaborates on the sculptures and collages. He snaps pictures without even looking through the viewfinder, then uses them to create larger works. A photo to him is a brushstroke. “I use my camera, but the prints I generate, I don’t see them as ends in themselves,” he recently divulged in a phone interview from Grass Point, Ore., where the Boothe family was vacationing. “I see them as material.” Inspired by a technique Boothe created at home to fill bare walls with BOOThe continued on page 29

Arts MOVIES from page 43 Rogen are apt to do, but instead of playing along, Adam hems and haws in mild embarrassment—so while Rogen is funny, their scenes feel one-sided, even a little calculated. That feeling doesn’t last, although I did wonder more than a few times about why Adam and Kyle don’t seem to have any other pre-existing friends. As 50/50 follows Adam through his treatment—the title refers to the rough odds on his survival—the movie, under the direction of Jonathan Levine, stays plugged into Adam’s experiences and how they affect his relationships. Kyle encourages his friend to use his status to improve their hook-up cache; Adam’s mother (Angelica Huston) wants only to treat him as a sick child (which, of course, despite his age, he sort of is); Adam himself tries to convince everyone that he’s okay. This includes his counselor, Katie (Anna Kendrick), new to the job and even younger than he is. She prods, he resists, and a friendship of sorts eventually develops. I have no idea if Will Reiser actually flirted with a younger counselor during his experience, but on paper, the idea sounds like a contrivance; by all logic, Gordon-Levitt’s scenes with Kendrick should be the phoniest and most cloying in the movie. Yet due in large part to the actors, particularly Kendrick’s earnest, well-wrought, and often very funny way with neuroses, these moments are some of the movie’s best. Katie’s empathy, the way she can’t quite keep her feelings professional and impersonal, has a touching awkwardness. Sometimes, the best way to make a charming romantic comedy is to not try to make one at all. Strangely, while the potentially cute stuff turns out better than you might expect, Adam’s relationship with his girlfriend Rachel (Bryce Dallas Howard) has far less complexity than it should. The idea of a character who has trouble with the emotional requirements of dating a cancer patient is an interesting one, but Howard, who has shown great promise as an actress, gets stuck in a thankless pretty-but-chilly routine. Kyle’s

At the Movies

The magical mystery tour

(which is to say Rogen’s) dislike of her would come off borderline misogynistic if ushering her out of the picture didn’t seem like such a legitimately good idea both for Adam and the movie. After this and her villainous turn in The Help, Howard has shown fearlessness in appearing unlikable onscreen. Maybe someone ought to reward her with betterwritten parts. Doubtless something in real life inspired Reiser to write the Rachel role, but while the first-time screenwriter is able to contribute much specificity that comes from personal experience, 50/50 only sometimes feels like the work of a distinct voice; Levine isn’t adventurous enough as a director to make the film feel more personal and idiosyncratic (then again, his previous movie The Wackness felt like it was both of those things, with far less polish and momentum). It’s more like an Apatow/Rogen production with a more muted (if nicely composed) palette and some additional tearjerking. But in stark contrast to so many mainstream studio comedies, the movie doesn’t have to labor for likability or sympathy—even Gordon-Levitt at his most insistent just wants Adam to seem normal, not particularly heroic, which, come to think of it, mirrors the character’s desires quite neatly.

WORDS BY ANNA WELTNER • PHOTOS BY STEVE E. MILLER workspaces to the inquiring public, in a massive, non-juried studio tour organized by our local arts council, ARTS Obispo. Some of the creative minds featured annually in this countywide phenomenon known as Open Studios are already prominent figures in the local arts community, and the tour provides admirers a closer look into their tools, materials, and processes. But others toil in relative anonymity within the sanctum

of their homes, garages, and backyards, and the tour is a chance for them to gain exposure. There are far too many artists on the tour to list here, but that’s why there’s a catalog. The following are a few individuals whose art, life story, or philosophy spoke to me in some way. I hope you, over the next few weekends, find the chance to have a similar experience.

Start here

The Open Studios Art Tour takes place over the course of three weekends: the South County Weekend (Oct. 15-16), North County Weekend (Oct. 22-23), and the countywide Encore Weekend (Oct. 29-30) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It helps to grab a catalog first (they can be found at ARTS Space Obispo, located in the SLO Creamery, or online at artsobispo.org), pick out the artists you’d like to see, and plot a route.

Currently on display through the month at ARTS Space Obispo’s gallery is a preview show of works done in miniature by participating artists, called “6X6(X6)” after the exhibit’s required dimensions of six inches in every direction. A blog called OSAT Spotlight (osatspotlight.wordpress. com), new this year, also highlights different Open Studios artists and provides a look into artists’ tools, space, works in progress, and sources of inspiration.

ever-changing art, the family will facilitate an interactive collage in their neighborhood clubhouse at 1255 Orcutt Road in San Luis Obispo. Boothe’s technological and artistic inclinations are best represented, however, in the sculptures he makes from computer parts (including magnets he says he has “harvested” from hard drives), photos, jute (a sort of twine), feathers, pine cones, and whatever else he fancies. Their creation is always participatory, and not without the input of his two daughters. “That’s really important to me,” he said. “I don’t want to go off on my own thing. I can’t see myself without my family.” As if on cue, I heard Eliana piping up in the background—weren’t they supposed to go someplace?—and her father explaining, “No, we are already here. We are where we are supposed to be.” Get more of the Boothe family at boothefam.com, or visit them during the South County Weekend.

Bradley Sunnarborg, Los Osos Is he a scientist? An engineer? An artist? Or some strange hybrid of them all? The Los Osos sculptor, who graduated with a BFA from the University of Minnesota, began as a ceramicist, later moving on to sculpture fashioned from heavy industrial materials and employing objects with a history of their own. His 1996 series, titled “Between the Maker and the Made, the Lover and the Loved, the Living and the Lived,” can be seen as a sort of marriage between his ceramic background and his future exploration into repurposed industrial leftovers. It’s a collection of large ceramic boats, most incorporating steel, rubber, and concrete, many of them resembling sarcophagi. His 1998 “Heroic Vehicles,” a series of catapults and bathyspheres, was to follow, each piece bearing the kind of heady, enigmatic title usually

only applied to tragic, 10-minute, instrumental post-rock anthems: Sometimes I Can’t Catch My Breath, Sometimes I Hold It. Or, My Refusal to Look Will Not Protect Me. While Sunnarborg admits that such names have a way of coloring viewers’ interpretations, the names themselves are often quite subjective, and perhaps just vague enough to be universal. Referencing a large catapult called An Attempt to Recapture the Breathlessness of the First Day, the First Kiss, Sunnarborg said, “I’m not the only one who has these thoughts— even though,” he went on, “I like to think I’m special.” If he’s thinking them, someone else must be as well. Earlier this year, Sunnarborg and fellow artist Alfredo Christiano (with several contributors, including a plant physiology expert and a software engineer) made a work called It’s so hard to tell who will love you the best.

It’s a pressure-controlled, airtight biochamber that, through photosynthesis (for oxygen) and a careful monitoring of atmospheric variables such as humidity and temperature, sustained the life of a canary for one month. The piece showed at Artcore in Los Angeles and locally at Cuesta College. Sunnarborg was saddened when, despite the hospitable conditions of his habitat, the bird stopped moving. He took it out of the chamber and before he could determine what the matter was, the creature died. He still doesn’t know why, but he didn’t immediately rule out my suggestion that it died of a broken heart. The chamber will be on view during Open Studios, as will Sunnarborg’s steel drawings, and new contraption: a candle that burns underwater.

Abigail Gumbiner, Atascadero

“I never thought photography would be an art form for me,” said Abigail Gumbiner, local sculptor and awesome photographer. But taking pictures of her sculpture changed all that, and soon she was photographing all manner of things, chiefly vintage cars and horses, which she’s attracted to aesthetically for their sculptural curves and textures. Gumbiner has an old-school approach to photography and a beef with programs like Photoshop, so she develops her photos in a darkroom and shuns any manipulation techniques. Her “Curb” and “Lust” series are fine examples of her way of looking at the world. She fills the frame with color and texture and beauty, panning out just barely enough to allow you to realize that what you’re admiring is actually a rusted-out hood, a horse’s rump, or spray paint left on the street by a construction worker. Recently, though, Gumbiner has wrestled photography back to her home turf of sculpture. She now takes her images of shiny cars, manipulates them into strange shapes, mounts them, and declares them sculptures. The funny thing is, while the images have a matte surface, WARPED VISIONS Abigail Gumbiner explores three-dimensional objects through a two-dimensional medium. the subject of the photo is often shiny, making Then she takes the result and makes it three-dimensional, in a new technique known as sculpted photography. for intriguing, almost deceptive objects.

Studios on the Park, Paso Robles

Just to be clear, Studios on the Park is a physical place, a building with walls and doors, not an event in the park as an alarming number of people in San Luis Obispo seem to imagine. For art lovers, the place is a factory of dreams. It’s a working studio for artists of many kinds, from ceramicists to photographers to encaustic painters. It’s open to the public part of the time, offers classes, and holds regular art shows and events. This year, seven Studios on the Park artists are participating in the tour: founder Anne Laddon, Frank Armitage, Nancy Becker, Heidi Franscioni, Lynn Kishiyama, Judy Lyon, and Rosey Rosenthal.

See it all at 1130 Pine St. in Paso during the North County Weekend. “The Open Studios Tour is the ultimate voyeurism into an artist’s life!” said Franscioni, an encaustic painter. “When else can you just walk into an artist’s private space and see how and where they tick?” Exactly. “Often artists will show work that is in progress too,” she added. “Unlike preparing for a carefully curated show in a gallery, I don’t have to edit down to a narrow theme or collection. Instead, I just present it as it is.” Franscioni will show work from her collection “The Nest and Sacred Spaces,” a recent series exploring “issues of fertility and the beginnings of life.” A mixed-media artist with a soft spot for Japanese washi paper, Kishiyama will show new work from her “Treasures” series, works dominated by geometric shapes in lovely golds, browns, and the occasional blue, like aerial landscapes with a touch of Mondrian. Kishiyama, who enjoys collaborating with other artists, was the inspiration behind the current show “Plays Well With Others” at Studios on the Park. An exhibit of works created jointly by several of the studio’s artists, the show’s not an official part of the tour, but do check it out while you’re there. Frank Armitage once worked as an animator at Disney—though the artist’s later work as a production illustrator for the science fiction film Fantastic Voyage, medical drawings for LIFE magazine, commissioned murals, and independent works are a far better representation of his style. Having undergone knee surgery that made it difficult to move up, down, and around large-scale works, Armitage now breaks his canvas up into smaller pieces, which he paints or sketches individually before pasting back together. The final product, some collectors lament, isn’t exactly frame-friendly. But having spent decades drawing to please clients’ and art directors’ tastes, Armitage does whatever he wants. ∆

Coloring in the lines ‘Drawn In,’ an exhibit dedicated to the singular art of drawing, kicks off this year’s offerings at Cal Poly’s University Art Gallery

t’s no wonder children love to draw. Every combination of shapes must seem so new and wonderful to those with minds like fresh, innocent little canvases. But somewhere along the line, something changes. Life gets a lot more difficult. Questions harden into statements. Ethereal ideas give way to rigid facts. And children— many of them, anyway—stop drawing. Perhaps that explains why drawing is sometimes viewed as rather childish, the incubatory stage leading to a bigger piece of fine art. Unfinished. Experimental. Immature. But this assertion has been challenged of late by a number of fine artists, seven of whom comprise a new show called “Drawn In,” currently hanging at Cal Poly’s University Art Gallery. Visitors are immediately greeted by the large-scale piece Input/Output, by Los Angeles-based artist Joe Biel. It’s a wonderfully provocative image of televisions, the quirky old-fashioned kind, perched upon the stumps of felled trees—a telling metaphor I’ll let you interpret on your own. Expired technological detritus, such as the innards of a cassette tape, has been dragged around and left behind. A rat nibbles a piece of paper. A few wiry weeds survive the inhospitable ground. Biel makes detailed pictures on intimidatingly large pieces of paper using the smallest mechanical pencil there is (.003). He says it can take him a year—sometimes several years—to finish a drawing. However, in the case of works like Frontier—a huge, highly detailed drawing with several overlapping possible narratives—a good half of that time is just planning. In our phone interview, he compared their careful forethought to outlining chapters in a novel. Biel’s piece The News from Poems is INPUT/OUTPUT

simple pencil drawings on semi-translucent tracing paper are illuminated by light boxes that have been installed into one of the gallery’s moveable walls. “My work is about blending inner and outer worlds,” writes Lowing, an environmental educator, in an artist’s statement. “… The subject of these drawings is what I see as the most significant and magical side of my relationships with people and landscapes of my life.” Here, a girl feeds a rabbit; there, two human figures hold hands inside a cutaway of a deer’s digestive system. Ben Britton’s lovely, semi-abstract drawings often bear titles conjuring some sort of personal apocalypse, like After dreaming of you dead and gone, the shock of your nearness is devastating and When it all burns down (better make it count). Britton’s sketches also seem to feature one pattern or idea giving way to another. His smaller black-and-white drawings surround a larger color work, Mew the final opening of the tidal season. The melancholy blacks and blues of what may be a huge wave are accented with green, orange, and peach, as if the light were hitting them. What might be a single keyhole

inspired by a line from the poet William Carlos Williams (It is difficult/to get the news from poems/yet men die miserably/for lack/ of what is found there). The work depicts a young man, ear pressed to a broken radio, holding a candle that is, inherent cliché acknowledged, lit from both ends. “The quote suggested an image to me,” Biel explained. To him, the piece, and likely much of his other work, speaks of the difficulty of wanting to create something delicate and beautiful in a brutal, obtuse, uncaring environment: “How do you deal with issues of beauty Somewhere along the line in such a crazy, fucked-up “Drawn In” hangs at Cal Poly’s University Art Gallery, located in the world?” Dexter Building, room 171, through Oct. 29.

here’s no shortage of great live jazz in SLO County. Between the SLO Jazz Federation’s shows, Charlie Shoemake’s Famous Jazz Artist Series at the Hamlet, the great jazz programs at both Cuesta College and Cal Poly, and the dozens of deeply talented local performers appearing at the many venues that promote this most American of musical idioms, you don’t have to look very far for a worthy jazz show. Every once in a while, though, something extra special comes to town, and this week it’s NYC drummercomposer Matt Slocum, who’s touring in support of his newest recording After the Storm, which was released on Oct. 11. He’ll perform selections from the new album on Monday, Oct. 17, at Steynberg Gallery (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $15 general admission, or $10 for students) with collaborators Gerald Clayton (piano) and Massimo Biolcati (bass). At 29, Slocum has emerged as a star of his generation, a double-threat performer and award-winning composer whose compositions build on the past and expand into the future. On After the Storm, he delivers six originals as well as “It’s Easy to Remember,” “Everything I Love,” and Slocum’s arrangement of Ravel’s “La Vallée des Cloches.” According to press materials, Slocum and his trio recorded the album after a weeklong engagement at the venerated jazz spot Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, and the record “highlights the emotional depth and imaginative sophistication of Slocum’s compositions as well as the trio’s tremendous musical growth and unique brand of intuitive exploration, interaction, and empathy.” Indeed, the record takes listeners to unexpected places and is a reminder that jazz is far from dead. When players tune into one another, their collaboration can lead to places even they didn’t know they could get to. After the Storm is what jazz is meant to be.

yan Gosling stars as Stephen Myers, an idealistic staffer for Mike Morris (George Clooney), a presidential candidate, but Myers’ idealism is tested as he gets a crash course in dirty politics. Based on the play by Beau Willimon and written for the screen and directed by Clooney, the film also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei, Jeffrey Wright, and Max Minghella. (101 min.)

Glen In case you haven’t heard, politics is dirty business. If this is news to you, The Ides of March will be a disconcerting eye opener, revealing the venal, corrupt, morally bankrupt world of our country’s movers and shakers. If, on the other hand, this is old news, Ides will come across as a well acted, effectively presented political thriller that’s all too familiar. Stephen Myers’ (Gosling) idealism is on the line, and he finds himself wedged between campaign boss Paul Zara (Hoffman) and candidate Mike Morris (Clooney). Their Democratic primary campaign is floundering in Ohio, where Morris’ agnosticism troubles the Bible Belters. Their only hope is to convince South Carolina Senator Thompson (Wright) to endorse Morris. Zara is willing to “trade” him a cabinet seat in the Morris administration, but Morris won’t have it. Myers, of course, finds Morris’ stance noble, but when his opponent Senator Pullman’s campaign manager Tom Duffy (Giamatti) sets Myers up for a fall, Myers must decide between his ideals and his own thirst for power. His decision is made easier when he discovers Morris may not be the noble man he believed him to be. Though events unfold rather predictably, watching all these consummate actors at work is a joy. Steve Thank goodness this movie came out this year and not next year. I think most people would totally avoid a canned political thriller like this when the TV ads start pouring out for the general presidential election. Bad things happen on March 15 (that’s Glen’s birthday by the way, so proof positive), and in this case, the movie starts a little slowly but in a delicious fashion, showcasing the superior acting of the cast, but when the main plot points start, they fall from the sky as subtly as a chunk of the Challenger. I think the first 15 minutes of the film are my favorite, with Gosling doing

a microphone check for his candidate, mimicking his speech to come, Clooney taking the stage and looking like the model candidate that he probably wishes existed and probably is trying to act into existence, and best of all Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti staring each other down in their own bulky way. It started gloriously but went downhill fast in terms of predictability that more or less is a mirror image of any presidential campaign in the last 50 years. This is not to say there aren’t a few surprising moments that elicited some gasps and chuckles, but those moments don’t carry the film. Glen You’re right, but the acting does carry the film. Even though she’s got a really small role, Marisa Tomei is terrific. She’s turned into one of Hollywood’s finest actors, and here she plays inveterate political reporter Ida Horowicz, who uses a combination of cajoling mother hen and “Hey, I’m just one of the guys” charm to suss out the political intrigues it’s her job to cover. At one point, she mocks Myers for his idealism toward Morris, saying he’ll break his heart. Later she has to turn hardball on Myers, and when he says, “I thought we were friends,” she says, “I’m your best friend.” Turns out she was right, because she’s the only one who gives it to him straight. Likewise, I’ve got to give props to Evan Rachel Wood as young intern Molly Stearns. She’s the film’s ingénue, and she’s terrific as an insouciant parvenu who quickly gets in over her head.

Netrebko stars in the first transmission to be shown in her native country, joined by Russian colleagues Ekaterina Gubanova as Jane Seymour and Ildar Abdrazakov as Enrico (Henry VIII). The opera, directed by David McVicar and conducted by Marco Armiliato, is based on the final, tragic days of Anne Boleyn and has been a dramatic and vocal showcase for some of the greatest sopranos in operatic history.

ATTAcK THE BLocK

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? $8.00 Where’s it showing? The Palm If Super 8 left you hungry for more ’80s-style gaggles of kids on a fantastical adventure in their hometown, Attack the Block will probably tide you over. Continuing the burgeoning subgenre of movies that are vaguely inspired by and decidedly superior to The Goonies, this film by first-time director Joe Cornish follows an alien invasion in a U.K. inner-city housing complex; it’s a bit like Goonies and War of the Worlds filtered through the original English version of Skins (which one of the characters makes direct reference to)—

new/pick

though that high-concept description does little justice to the film’s many charms. Rather than a ragtag bunch of goodhearted kids, we’re introduced to a marauding gang of semi-hoodlums with slangy names like Biggz (Simon Howard) and Pest (Alex Esmail) and speaking patterns that may strain American ears in a pleasing, Trainspotting sort of way. The kids are led by Moses (John Boyega), a scowling badass who may yet graduate into a genuine criminal lifestyle. As part of their evening prowling, the kids mug Sam (Jodie Whittaker), failing to realize she’s also their neighbor. They also intersect with Brewis (Luke Treadaway), a nerdy fellow who visits the building to buy pot from Ron (Nick Frost), and, more importantly, an alien life form that has crash-landed nearby. When threatened, Moses makes a show of killing the creature, which turns out to be a mistake—legions more land after it, laying siege to the apartment complex and revealing a talent for devouring humans. Soon the kids and Sam are crossing paths with girls, even younger and mouthier neighborhood kids, cops, drug dealers, and only very occasionally parents as they arm themselves and fight for their lives. The action stays more or less within the confines of the apartment complex, and Cornish makes the most of these drab settings, turning routine sets like corridors, elevators, and roadways into effective locations for suspense punctuated by tensionsnapping laughs. Apart from Moses, played with assurance and skill by newcomer Boyega, the kids aren’t always particularly distinguishable, but their collective energy and interactions have a lot of personality. Ultimately, as in Super 8, that personality matters more than the sci-fi bona fides. The creatures of Attack the Block are imaginatively conceived, both as designs (they look like shadowy, amorphous hounds of hell) and as means of concealing what must have been a low special effects budget. But

MOVIES from page 42 Cornish grounds the mayhem in a bunch of kids trying to rise to the occasion; he understands that smaller logistical triumphs can be more thrilling than a dozen big-budget explosions. Cornish is a mate of Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright, who lent his producing services, as well as his other buddy Nick Frost (possibly the biggest name in the cast!), to help get Attack the Block off the ground. They obviously share affection for geek-inflected movie genres, but while Wright tends to work in satire and homage, Cornish just wants to make the kind of no-frills genre romp that tends to get neglected in favor of bigger, more bombastic alien invasions, monster attacks, and accompanying action figures. It’s a worthy goal—one that could get caught up in self-reflexive geek culture, but instead stays true to its characters, who are not film nerds or monster enthusiasts, or even particularly nice people, at least at the beginning. Without resorting to nerd-flattering or pushing any other buttons too hard, Cornish even manages to produce a satisfying emotional resolution to their story—to Moses in particular. Like the best of its ’80s-spawned brethren, this is a genre workout that cares both about its characters and its audience. (87 min.) —Jesse Hassenger; filmcritic.com

Why? Because it’s so much damn fun. The story’s a strikingly familiar one: Young troublemakers visit a cabin in the woods, find a Satanic book and a recording of someone reading from it, they listen to

new/pick

the recording, and the chicks all turn into demons. All of which leaves one poor soul to defend himself against the carnage. Ah, to be young again. Bruce Campbell stars in a career-defining role as Ashley, the poor sap who seems inexplicably resistant to the demonic powers, and who’ll go to any length to fight them off. With a script courtesy of his old highschool chum, director Sam Raimi (collaborating here on one of their first films), Ashley hacks his way through his old friends—and even his possessed girlfriend—with whatever weapons are at hand. Is he afraid to blast the head off a once-lovely gal with a shotgun? No! And never mind the mix of Karo corn syrup and Alpo (or is it colored cream corn?) that comes spewing out of her neck stump. Raimi and Campbell were afraid the gore was so thick they declined to submit the film to the ratings board, instead going with a Not Rated for its eventual release three years after it was shot. By today’s standards, it deserves an R. —Christopher Null; filmcritic.com

Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Galaxy Joseph Gordon-Levitt has played, among others, a troubled hustler, a mentally fragmented janitor, a teenage detective, a sitcom alien, and a dream engineer—all convincingly, often beautifully. Yet when he buttons up to play a likable regular guy with fewer outward quirks or tics, as he did in (500) Days of Summer, there’s something studied and almost willfully bland about him, as if he’s afraid that those quirks or flights of fancy will be mistaken for actorly grandstanding. He muffles his unpredictability with sweaters and messenger bags. It happens again in 50/50. Gordon-Levitt isn’t bad as Adam, an affable 20-something public-radio worker who is diagnosed with a rare form of back cancer. In fact, he’s quite good at navigating the choppy emotional waters of a young cancer patient: denial, grief, defiance, dark humor, despair. But early on, before his diagnosis, Adam’s banter with his buddy Kyle (Seth Rogen) doesn’t have the improvisational ease you’d expect from the Apatow circle (Apatow himself isn’t involved, but Rogen’s real-life buddy Will Reiser went through a similar experience and wrote a screenplay about it, produced by Rogen and his frequent cohort Evan Goldberg). Kyle riffs about sex and work and friendships, as guys played by

Arts MOVIES from page 44 and his sense of acidic humor. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hesitancy to go for the jugular here, and it keeps Corneauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final film, nowhere near as interesting as his underappreciated 2003 gem Fear and Trembling, from touching the savage truths found in the clash of corporate culture and an executive workforce made up more and more by women. This hesitancy and the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonky tone are evident from the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first sequence, in which head-honcho Christine (Kristin Scott Thomas) shifts a home-meeting with her doting assistant, Isabelle (Ludivine Sagnier), into a spot of gal-pal time which begets the sort of shoulder and backrub that high school boys always think will get them laid. It cools off, however, as Isabelle is obviously not down with it, and Christine quickly retaliates by fondling boytoy Philippeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Patrick Mille) genitals with her foot. This adequately sets up the battle lines, though Isabelle is still all too happy to stay up late working on a deal with some American manufacturer and allow Christine to take the credit, in order to secure Christineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure to New York. Problems, as they tend to do, rear their heads when Philippe and Isabelle embark on a short-lived affair, following an in-themoment fling during a business trip to Cairo. This seeming betrayal refreshingly doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to matter all that much to Christine and it certainly doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter as much as Isabelle going rogue and getting all the credit for a project with their Washington, D.C., clients, subsequently botching Christineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big move to Manhattan. Corneau, thankfully, pushes through all of this relatively quickly and leaves a far greater amount of time to soak in Christineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multiPHOTO COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL PICTURES

level humiliation of Isabelle, not to mention the preposterous revenge plot that Isabelle puts into action following her mentorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s torturous games. Isabelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vengeance takes up nearly half of the film and it is by some margin the most delirious and unbelievable facet of this sexually tinged drama. This is a film that a Chabrol or a Breillat would have done wonders with but, strangely, it becomes something of a disposable, if oddly likable entertainment in the hands of Corneau. The filmmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sense of pacing, not to mention his relationship with editor Thierry Derocles, certainly plays a part in this bizarre enjoyment but the real reason is Sagnier and Thomas, whose relishing of these diabolical roles is infectious, even invigorating. Big marks go to the great Thomas but though this is a role that puts Sagnierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limitations as a performer in bold, her presence powers the film even when the script, written by Corneau and Nathalie Carter, fails her. I would rather not give away the surprises of the second half of Corneauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film, but needless to say, there are some gaps in logic. These gaps, of course, would be fine if Corneau had fully embraced the lunacy of his film and his script but, sad to say, his nature as a filmmaker wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the same range as masters like de Palma or Paul Verhoeven. So, Love Crime ultimately rides the fence between psycho-sexual delirium and soggy, Grisham-esque corporate intrigue. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not an outright debacle but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly disappointing. Corneau was capable of so much more, and you know he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to prove that again. (106 min.) â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Chris Cabin; filmcritic.com

Blast from the past FRIGHT NIGHT PART 2 What’s it rated? R Seeing the original Fright Night at The Aero’s horrorthon last year was one of the most pleasant surprises I had at a movie in 2010. I was somehow virtually ignorant of the horror classic in all but the broadest strokes—this despite the film being so far down my alley it was practically breaking into my house to steal shit. Yet I was still skeptical about seeking out the sequel. This was, after all, not just any sequel, but an ’80s sequel. And it’s a general rule of thumb that an ’80s sequel is going to be beat for beat like the original, except a lot less enjoyable. I mean, we are talking about a sub classification of film that requires the line of dialogue, “I can’t believe this is happening … AGAIN!!!” to appear in nearly every single one of its entries. I wasn’t exactly wrong about what Fright Night Part 2 would be, but there was a surprising amount of fun to be had with it … once expectations had been suitably lowered. Fright Night Part 2 takes place three years later with Charlie Brewster just getting out of a stay at a mental institute and into college. In this time period, he’s been convinced that vampires don’t exist. (This is more than a little hard to swallow, but it’s another staple of ’80s sequels. If you’re going to repeat everything again, you have to reduce everything back to square one.) This gets tricky when— wouldn’t you know it?—a bunch of vampires move into Charlie’s neighborhood and start stalking him and his old mentor Peter Vincent. This time it’s a posse of vampires (they’ve also brought along a ghoul and a werewolf played by ultimate ’80s genre character actor Jon Gries), and unlike the suave, urbane, Chris Sarandon, they are totally ’80s. You have no idea how un-intimidating a vampire on rollerblades, dressed as Prince’s background dancer, is until you actually see it. But it is fun to watch William Ragsdale and Roddy McDowell deal with it again, their chemistry intact. (The film does suffer from the absence of Amanda Bearse, whose quintessential girl-next-door performance added a lot to the original, though her replacement is appealing as well.) McDowell in particular gets one extremely fine moment where he gets to articulate his reason for being to the incredulous patrons of a dingy bar. It may not justify the movie in and of itself, but it goes a long way toward doing so. The film also carries over-the-topnotch practical gore and monster effects from its predecessors. There’s no getting around the fact that Fright Night Part 2 is just a fun movie to look at on a very basic level. Watching Fright Night 2 is like clambering onto a carnival spook house at the Mid-State Fair for the second time with a bunch of your friends. It’s predictable, more than a little cheesy, and you know every turn before it arrives. But there’s still some fun to be had—albeit not nearly as much as you had the first time around.

TAKE PILLOW TALK TO THE NEXT LEVEL

REBELS! Led by relocated city kid Ren MacCormack (Kenny Wormald, white shirt), small-town teenagers rebel against their elders’ rules against music and dancing, in Footloose. emoted epic kind of way, the film unsteadily teeters on the brink of unmitigated disaster for more than two hours of metal-clanging robofighting and teary-eyed human melodrama. And yet at times it is so hard to deny this unfortunate little battle brawler of a movie. On the surface, it’s a Michael Bay-wannabe. But whereas a genuine Michael Bay film would jam its blunt-force testosterone into our consciousness without much care for audience reaction, Real Steel is just a pathetic, uncoordinated mutt on the inside. I tried my best to show it some sympathy even as it just bounded across the screen like a lumbering robot. Apparently based on a futuristic short story called “Steel,” Real Steel is certainly not a visionary preponderance on the future. Save a few window-dressing details, the film doesn’t feel “futuristic” at all, though it certainly doesn’t take place in the present. It more exists in that timeless movie-movie world where every hour is Magic Hour and every life decision is accompanied by its own soundtrack of unmistakable emotional cues. The only primary element that sets our future sensors on alert is the presence of giant robots—though these bots aren’t entirely sentient like the more “evolved” machines of the Transformers movies. That would require that they hail from another planet; in Real Steel the robots are earthbound and human-controlled—built, detailed, and pimped-out to engage in a form of main-event prize fighting. Think Robo-MMA. Hugh Jackman headlines the film as Charlie, a flameout former boxing contender who now skates by as a low-rent huckster, entering his rusty bot in sideshow bouts and getting into hot water by making under-the-table bets with evil underground promoters. On the heels of his most recent disaster, Charlie returns home to discover his ex-girlfriend has died, leaving behind the child (Dakota Goyo) our hero fathered 10 years prior. Charlie doesn’t have any desire to pursue a relationship with the kid, but he cuts a lucrative deal with the rich step-uncle (James Rebhorn, not allowed to be as smarmy as he could be, which is disappointing) to spend the summer with the boy before handing him over to his smothering aunt (Hope Davis ... what’s she doing here?). Predictably, an insipid father-son story transpires for the duration of the movie, as the kid turns out to be a gamer-slash-techie who is driven to take a low-tech “sparring bot” he finds buried in a treacherous landfill and turn it into a champion fighter. Jackman gets to alternate between being charmingly skeptical and charmingly gruff while slowly being won over by his son and—whaddya know?—discovering he wants to be a father after all. You might also guess that, through the underdog robot, our hero is able to exorcise the demons of his own professional past and attain success as a fighter once again—at the expense of evil Asian robot megalomaniacs, no less.

Shawn Levy directed Real Steel, and for better or worse, the guy apparently knows how to mount crowd-pleasing spectacles that attract a large audience (he is coming off two Night at the Museum films). If the audience reaction at the promo screening is any indication, this one will have families rolling in the aisles with uproarious revival-tent cheers—no wonder a sequel has already been green-lit. To a degree, that makes sense; this film represents a small step toward more ambitious visual filmmaking for Levy, and working from a screenplay by John Gatins, some of the material works on the basis of pure charm. Jackman is charismatic as always, and develops suitable chemistry with Goyo, who is sassy and fun as “the kid.” He has a recurring bit where he dances with the robot that would be cloying if it wasn’t so cute. But the movie is really bloated, chock full of extended sequences of loud, incomprehensible robo-violence, alternated with scenes of treacly father-son emo-bonding. All these scenes are begging and pleading for us to love them, but the persistence is at once amusing and annoying. Maybe if the film zeroed in on its most charming elements and delivered a lean, crowdpleasing underdog story, the end result would be a standout piece of slick studio product. As it stands, Real Steel is an ungainly robo-epic that delivers bigger thuds than thrills. (127 min.) —Jason McKiernan; filmcritic.com

isty watercolor memories, people. That’s what I have as I look through photos from last year’s New Times Music Awards. We admittedly overreached a tad in 2010, putting on shows at six locations over four days, but this year we’re returning to the more compact, one-day-only show that served us well in the first year. On Thursday, Oct. 13, SLO Brew once again is host to the contest, but with a new twist. Instead of just a showcase of the winners, we’re having the four First Place genre winners face off against one another in a “live judged” performance to name one the Best Live Performer winner. Celebrity judges include AJ Braman, who played in several nationally touring acts before settling down five years ago at Ernie Ball; Billy Imperial, an instructor at The Modern Music Academy who spent 14 years as a professional touring bassist and guitarist in Asia; and Tomas von Engel, who was a member of several popular Northern California bands. These guys have more than 60 years of combined music industry experience! OK, sure, we’re going head to head against Incubus at Avila Beach Resort, but the Newties promises to be a real celebration of local music. Not only will you hear rock-alternative winner Briertone, bluesR&B winner Dr. Danger, country-folkAmericana winner Jade Jackson, and hiphop winner Public Defendaz all facing off to see who puts on the best live performance, but all the second- and third-place winners will be there to find out what place they won and pick up their awards.

Santa Maria Valley’s outstanding wines This often-overlooked area is now a world-class wine region

ronic, isn’t it, that we locals tend to forget about the bounty of great wineries in our own backyard? Lately the media spotlight has remained focused on blossoming Central Coast wine regions like the Santa Rita Hills and Paso Robles, which makes everyone want to visit the new kids on the block. Yet the excellent wines produced annually in Santa Maria Valley are equally acclaimed by thousands of wine connoisseurs who travel here year round to taste its world-class Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. And new visitors to the Santa Maria Valley discover these wineries offer much more in an array of classic and non-mainstream varietals. Mix in the long and rich history behind our wineries and vineyards, and you’ve got a cuvée that’s irresistible to wine lovers, but locals don’t have to drive so far to enjoy them. No writer could sum up Santa Maria Valley’s amazing history in a nutshell, but I certainly enjoyed an unforgettable experience during a whirlwind a tour designed for media from outside the area. I was excited to tag along and reconnect with wineries I’ve known more than two decades, and discover the newest winery and its charismatic winemaker. On a spectacularly sunny October morning, we visited Bien Nacido Vineyard on the historic Rancho Tepusquet Ranch. The 1,400-acre property was purchased in 1969 by Bob and Steve Miller, fifth-generation farmers in California. Inspired by optimistic commercial winegrape reports at the time, the Millers planted more than 600 acres in 1973. They hired Dale Hampton, renowned for his innovative vineyard management, to install the finest trellising and irrigation systems available. Locals joked that the Millers should name it the Cadillac vineyard, so they named it Bien Nacido,

the Mexican term that means “born with a silver spoon in your mouth.” Now in their 38th harvest, the Millers are no less dedicated to growing the finest winegrapes, and they spare no expense to ensure it. The vineyard has more than 700 acres: 300 acres of Chardonnay; 250 acres of Pinot Noir, plus Pinot Gris, Syrah, Roussanne, Viognier, and experimental plantings. They are SIP Certified, joining a network of farmers statewide in California, devoted to sustainable winegrowing, good stewardship of the land, and the well-being of farm workers. Pat Williams, agronomist for Bien Nacido, introduced us to the animal husbandry: Boer goats from South Africa that weed the vineyards and create good soil conditions; guard dogs that protect the goats from coyotes, cougars, and bears; and their use of predatory falcons to scare off the starlings and crows that damage the ripening grape clusters. While you won’t find a tasting room at Bien Nacido, they sell grapes to more than 200 brands, and every wine lover is familiar with the Au Bon Climat/Qupe, Tantara, and Ambullneo wineries in the vineyard. Twice a year their tasting events attract hundreds of wine aficionados. Plus there are many excellent wineries whose labels proudly designate Bien Nacido Vineyard: Bonaccorsi, Byron, Foxen, Kynsi, Longoria, Ojai, Sine Qua Non, Steele, Stephen Ross, Testarossa, Twomey, and many more. Besides selling winegrapes, the Millers have provided custom winemaking services since 1995, and provide winemaking facilities for more than 25 boutique wineries. Like any business, its success is due to the family and staff behind it. Marshall and Nicholas Miller, Steve Miller’s sons, are partners and managers in the family business. Chris Hammell, vineyard

manager, and James Ontiveros, director of sales and marketing for Bien Nacido Vineyard, have been with them two decades, as active liaisons between the Millers and their clients. With Hammell, we experienced the vineyard visit I’d always hoped for, high along the mountain tops. There, superlative Syrah and other varieties produced in miniscule quantities go to exceptional wineries wise enough to hold contracts for them annually. Like the Millers, Ontiveros has a long lineage in farming; his ancestors were among the original settlers in Santa Maria, nine generations past. That’s why he named his brand, exclusively devoted to Pinot Noir, Native9. His ancestors and the Foxens’ are buried at the San Ramon Chapel on Foxen Canyon Road near Rancho Sisquoc. The land that is now home to Bien Nacido was an original Mexican land grant known as Rancho Tepusquet, sold to the Ontiveros family in 1855. Don Juan Pacifico Ontiveros began construction on the Ontiveros Adobe in 1857, moving there one year later with his daughter Martina. Through the generations the family property was divided until there were only 1,400 acres left and that was eventually sold to the Hancock family, and finally the Millers. One of only two such adobes in California, the two-story Ontiveros Adobe was restored by the Millers who brought in antiquity experts to recreate it as it was originally built. Ontiveros and his parents worked hard to regain a modest piece of land (primarily a cattle ranch with oil wells) that butts up to their original land grant. Fifteen years ago, Ontiveros realized his dream when he planted eight acres of Pinot Noir. Ontiveros is dedicated to elevating the Santa Maria Valley’s burgeoning reputation as a world-

Here’s a great choice for a Chardonnay lover looking to expand his or her palate with new varieties. This pretty, dry white wine offers lush, rich flavors of white peach, nectarines, apricots, and spice, nicely nuanced by a thread of flowery honey and bright citrus notes to keep it beautifully balanced. It’s a lovely choice for holiday dinners like roast turkey or chicken, or shellfish in risotto or pasta. You’ll also find this quite easy drinking on its own. It’s priced $25 at the Los Olivos tasting room.

Estancia 2010 Pinot Noir Pinnacles Ranches

I know it’s rather early for this vintage of Pinot Noir to be released, and I recently recommended the 2009. Since you may find two vintages on the shelf at Trader Joe’s, I bought the 2010 to make sure I liked it, too. It’s decidedly less fruit-forward than the 2009, with plum and briary wild blackberries, earth, and mushrooms, ending on a dry spicy finish. Pair it with roast beef, a simple steak, or Santa Maria tri-tip and beans.

In addition to Native9, he’s in a partnership with his winemaker and longtime friend, Paul Wilkins, in another exceptional brand, Alta Maria. Throughout the two-day media blitz, writers feasted on impressive wine-friendly meals prepared by Central City Market and Bello Forno of Santa Maria that always included wines from several Santa Maria Valley wineries. Among the fine wineries with Bien Nacido Vineyard designated wines, we tasted excellent samples from Alta Maria, Byron, Foxen, Paul Lato, C Nagy, Native9, Riverbench, and Kenneth Volk Vineyards. We were also introduced to three new brands: two owned by the Millers, labeled Bien Nacido Vineyard and Solomon Vineyard; and Presqu’ile, owned by the Murphy family, who are currently building a new winery in Santa Maria Valley. Whether you’re a connoisseur or new to wine appreciation, you’ll want to return next week for the rest of the story on these Santa Maria Valley wineries, and where you can find these special wines. ∆ Contact New Times’ Cuisine columnist at khardesty@newtimesslo.com.

VALLEY OF THE WINES When talking about local wine culture, it’s important to remember Santa Maria.

Cuisine BY ALEX MATHERLY

¡Familia, comida, servicio!

n 1976, NASA released its first space shuttle, Steve Jobs founded the Apple Computer Company, the United States celebrated its bicentennial, and a familyowned Mexican restaurant fired up its grills and opened its doors to the Central Coast. Old Juan’s Cantina, now 35 years later, is still open, and business is better than ever. John Verdin, also known as “Old Juan,” built his business upon three principles: “familia, comida, and servicio” (family, food, and service). Today, Verdin’s daughter, Eva, and his son, Adam, co-own the restaurant and bring their father’s dreams to life every day by cooking up delicious food in a familyfriendly environment. Many of the dishes served at the establishment are inspired by traditional dishes from the family’s ancestral hometown of Guanajuato, Mexico. Early this year, Old Juan’s added 20 tables to its floor, increasing its indoor occupancy to 180 guests, and it now has the ability to seat groups of up to 30 in the downstairs room. Customers can also enjoy outdoor dining on the patio while gazing upon the scenic greenery, terra cotta fountain, and festive lights, giving you the feel of being in old Mexico. “This is an exciting time for us,” Eva said. “The restaurant is like home to us, and we want to welcome everyone to join us, and hope they enjoy their experience, one that carries on the traditions our father started 35 years ago.” In honor of the restaurant’s 35th anniversary, Old Juan’s is offering weekly specials as well as a contest on Facebook throughout October, with a chance to win a $50 gift certificate. To enter, visit Old Juan’s Facebook page at facebook.com/ oldjuanscantina and write a recommendation using the Recommendation tab on the right. Then post on the Facebook page that you’ve recommended the restaurant. A winner will be randomly chosen on Nov. 1. Old Juan’s Cantina is located at 649 Pier Ave. in Oceano. To view the menu, see specials, or find other information, visit oldjuanscantina.com. In other news, the Exploration Station in Grover Beach is dabbling in science everyone—21 and older, that is—can get behind. On Nov. 6, from 2 to 5 p.m., the Exploration Station is presenting a fundraiser titled “The Chemistry of Cocktails.” “Local mixologists from the area’s top restaurants and social gathering places will compete in a bartending competition, featuring an original cocktail concoction of their design,” the station announced in a press release. Local celebrities have the tasty privilege of serving as judges, though a crowd favorite will be awarded as well. Tickets cost $35, and include live music and a silent auction. You must be 21 or older to attend. The Exploration Station is located at 867 Ramona Avenue in Grover Beach. For more information, visit explorationstation.org, call 473-1421, or e-mail youth@explorationstation. org. ∆

Angels need wings

Real life Planeteers

They might not have the magic powers of Captain Planet, but the scientists, philosophers, and community leaders meeting Oct. 13 to 16 for the 2011 Bioneers Conference do have ideas that will reduce pollution and help stop the climate crisis. The main event takes place in San Rafael, but satellite feeds and local events bring the excitement to SLO. An exhibition of “Empty Spaces and Littered Places” by artists Evani Lupinek and Carol Paquet provides the perfect backdrop for the Central Coast Bioneers Opening Night at Steynberg Gallery, 1531 Monterey St. The event takes place Oct. 13 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and costs $5 for the general public. Visit ecologistics.org/ centralcoastbioneers for more information.

In the rural areas of Baja, Mexico, many impoverished pueblos have little access to regular medical care. Sick children and the elderly must wait for the third weekend of every month, when a small plane will arrive with members of the Gold Coast Flying Samaritans, a group of doctors, nurses, and translators based in SLO County who provide free treatment to the poor. The group is holding a memorial golf tournament and fundraiser on Oct. 17 to honor the lives lost in a plane crash last year and to celebrate the group’s 50th anniversary. The tournament will take place at 9 a.m. at Cypress Ridge Golf Course in Arroyo Grande and offers the chance to win a free BMW for hitting a hole in one. There’s still time to register at flyingsams.org for $125 or to become an event sponsor.

have a bad feeling about this. “Hey Jeremy, where’s the wave off button?” Silence. The ball starts its descent while a defender the size of a small moon is hurtling toward my kick returner. “Jeremy? Wave off??” Ball and defender are going to arrive about a heartbeat apart. I start mashing buttons frantically.* “Dude?” I steal a look over. He’s got a beatific smile on his face. It’s still there as his defender slams into my kick returner. It turns into a grin as the ball goes flying. It ends in a war-whoop of glee as he recovers the ball in the endzone. Madden 12 brings people closer together. The latest entry in the series has pulled out the stops on the eye candy. Everything from a sun that moves through the sky to the player expressions

Detours Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Test this hypothesis: The answer to a pressing question will come within 72 hours after you do a ritual in which you ask for clarity.

ARIES

CANCER

(March 21-April 19): If it’s at all possible, Aries, don’t hang around boring people this week. Seek out the company of adventurers who keep you guessing and unruly talkers who incite your imagination and mystery-lovers who are always on the lookout for new learning experiences. For that matter, treat yourself to especially interesting food, perceptions, and sensations. Take new and different routes to familiar hotspots. Even better, find fresh hotspots. Cultivating novelty is your mandate right now. Outgrowing your habits would be wise, fun, and cool. Changing your mind is a luxury you need and deserve.

(June 21-July 22): I’ve come across two definitions of the slang term “cameling up.” One source says it means filling yourself with thirst-quenching liquid before heading out to a hot place on a hot day. A second source says it means stuffing yourself with a giant meal before going out on a binge of drinking alcohol, because it allows you to get drunk more slowly. For your purposes, Cancerian, I’m proposing a third, more metaphorical nuance to “cameling up.” Before embarking on a big project to upgrade your self-expression—quite possibly heroic and courageous—I suggest you camel up by soaking in an abundance of love and support from people whose nurturing you savor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn,” wrote the Slovenian American author Louis Adamic. That’s true enough. Here’s the thing, though: If you manage to get a smooth thorn without any prickles (like on certain hawthorn trees), the only risk is when you’re licking the honey close to the sharp end. Otherwise, as your tongue makes its way up the sleek surface of the rest of the thorn, you’re fine—no cuts, no pain. According to my analysis, Taurus, you have just finished your close encounter with the sharp point of a smooth thorn. Now the going will be easier.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On the front of every British passport is an image that includes a chained unicorn standing up on its two hind legs. It’s a central feature of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. I would love to see you do something as wacky as that in the coming week, Gemini—you know, bring elements of fantasy and myth and imagination into some official setting. It would, I believe, put you in sweet alignment with current cosmic rhythms. (P.S. If you decide to invoke the archetype of the unicorn, unchain it.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I love Adele’s voice. The mega-famous British pop singer has a moving, virtuoso instrument—technically perfect, intriguingly soulful, capable of expressing a range of deep emotion, strong in both her high and low registers. And yet there’s not a single song she does that I find interesting. The lyrics are cliched or immature, the melodies are mostly uninspired, and the arrangements are standard fare. Does what I’m describing remind you of anything in your own life, Leo? A situation you half-love and are half-bored by? An experience that is so good in some ways and so blah in other ways? If so, what can you do about it? You may be able to improve things if you act soon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There’s a good chance that you will soon find something you lost a while back. It may even be the case that you will recover an asset you squandered or you’ll revive a dream that was left for dead. To what do you owe the pleasure of this blessing? Here’s what I think: The universe is rewarding you for the good work you’ve done lately on taking better care of what’s important to you. You’re going to be shown how much grace is available when you live your life in rapt alignment with your deepest, truest values.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chris Richards wrote a story in the Washington Post in which he complained about the surplus of unimaginative band names. At this year’s SXSW music festival in Austin, he counted six different bands that used “Bear” and two with “Panda.” Seven bands had “Gold,” including Golden Bear. Marshmallow Ghosts was one of seven bands with “Ghost” in their names. You’re in a phase of your life when it’s especially important not to be a slave of the trends, Libra—a time when it’s crucial to your well-being to come up with original language, unique descriptions, and fresh approaches. So what would your band’s name be? (tinyurl. com/BadNamesForBands)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve got to cry one more tear before the pungent comedy will deliver its ultimate lesson and leave you in peace. You’ve got to make one further promise to yourself before you will be released from the twilight area where pain and pleasure became so tangled. You’ve got to navigate your way through one more small surrender before you will be cleared to hunt down your rebirth in earnest. But meanwhile, the catharses and epiphanies just keep on erupting. You’re growing more soulful and less subject to people’s delusions by the minute. Your rather unconventional attempts at healing are working—maybe not as rapidly as you’d like, but still, they are working.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Most people who profess a deep love of the Bible have never actually read the book,” says religious writer Rami Shapiro. If they did, they’d know that Satan is not implicated as the tempter of Adam and Eve. There’s no mention of three wise men coming to see baby Jesus, nor of a whale swallowing Jonah. Homilies like “This too shall pass” and “God helps those who help themselves” never appear in the

For the week of October13 scriptures. And contrary to the Ayn Rand-style self-reliance that evangelicals think is a central theme of their holy book, the Bible’s predominant message is that goodness is measured by what one does for others. I bring this up as a teaching about how not to proceed in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. You really do need to know a lot about the texts and ideas and people and situations upon which you base your life. (tinyurl.com/BibleFog)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The artist’s job is not to succumb to despair, but to find an antidote to the emptiness of existence.” So says the Gertrude Stein character in Woody Allen’s film Midnight in Paris. As an aspiring master of crafty optimism myself, I don’t buy the notion that existence is inherently empty. I do, however, wish that more artists would be motivated by the desire to create cures for the collective malaise that has haunted every historical era, including ours. In alignment with your current astrological omens, I invite you to take up this noble task yourself in the coming weeks, whether or not you’re an artist. You now have much more than your usual power to inspire and animate others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The world-famous whiskey known as Jack Daniel’s is produced in Moore County, Tenn., which prohibits the sale of alcohol in stores and restaurants. So you can’t get a drink of the stuff in the place where it’s made. I suspect there’s a comparable situation going on in your life, Aquarius. Maybe something you’re good at isn’t appreciated by those around you. Maybe a message you’re broadcasting or a gift you’re offering gets more attention at a distance than it does up close. Is there anything you can do about that? The coming weeks would be a good time to try.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Once you drive your car into Norway’s Laerdal Tunnel, you’re in for a long haul through the murk. The light at the end doesn’t start appearing until you’ve traveled almost 14 miles. Using this as a metaphor for your life in the here and now, I estimate that you’re at about the 12-mile mark. Keep the faith, Pisces. It’s a straight shot from here. Can you think of any cheerful tunes you could sing at the top of your lungs? ∆

Curses! Foiled again!

Boston police reported that a man walked into a bank and handed a teller a note that read, “Give me all your money.” The teller refused, informing the would-be robber the window was closed. He moved over to the next teller, where a customer scolded him for cutting in front of the line. When the second teller and a customer in line told the man he’d have to take off his sweatshirt hood, the suspect refused and left empty handed. (The Boston Globe)

Really, I have no idea where the pants are

A Russian court in Velsk rejected the parole request of Russian tax evader Platon Lebedev after prison officials stated that he hasn’t admitted his guilt, sometimes is aloof toward other prisoners, and lost a pair of cotton prison pants. During the seven-hour session, the one-time oil magnate insisted that prison authorities, not he, lost the pants. (Associated Press)

Joining advocates of government intervention in extreme cases, lawyer Lindsey Murtagh and Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Children’s Hospital Boston, argued that putting children temporarily in foster care is sometimes more ethical than obesity surgery.

Does it accumulate interest?

Plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Hartog announced the opening of a fat bank in Seminole County, Fla., where patients who’ve had fat removed during liposuction can store it for future cosmetic use, such as plumping up body parts affected by aging. The service spares the patient having to undergo liposuction, which requires anesthesia, a second or third time to obtain the fat. “Fat banking takes [liposuction] to a whole new level,” Hartog said. “We put the patient to sleep once. Do the lipo. Get the fat out once and have as much as we need for later injections.” He explained the fat is drained, cleaned, put in containers for freezing by a “patented process” and stored at his Liquid Gold center, located next to his cosmetic-surgery clinic. The cost to store 250 to 300 cubic centimeters of fat— enough to fill a coffee cup—is $900 for the first year and $200 a year after that.

Visalia, CA A: No, usually a year would not be enough time to have passed after a Bankruptcy. A Bankruptcy of any kind is a very serious matter and quite often indicates that a person was not able to handle his or her debts. Of course, this is generally viewed by lenders as a very detrimental aspect in someone’s credit history. I say generally because there can be exceptions, such as severe
