he 32-year-old attorney who narrowly lost a race for SLO County supervisor in June is now seeking a spot on the Arroyo Grande City Council.

Jimmy Paulding filed paperwork on July 26 to run for one of two seats on the council that are up for grabs in the Nov. 6 general election.

Paulding joins three other candidates—two current planning commissioners and a retired police officer.

Paulding spent most of 2018 running for SLO County 4th District Supervisor. After an acrimonious and expensive campaign against incumbent Supervisor Lynn Compton, Paulding lost the race by just 60 votes in the June 5 primary. While Paulding lost his race against Compton, election returns showed that 52 percent of Arroyo Grande voters cast ballots for him.

A little more than a month after the loss, Paulding filed to run for Arroyo Grande City Council. Paulding said that he spoke with many Arroyo Grande residents during his run for supervisor and those interactions, in part, spurred him to run for the council seat.

“So many city residents shared their concerns with me,” he said. “I said, ‘I could serve in this capacity.’”

If elected, Paulding said he’d work to increase participation in local government and address issues like water, traffic, and affordable housing.

In a statement on his Facebook page, Paulding touted his experience in development issues, including interning for the Arroyo Grande Planning and Development Department, his work as a planning and project manager for Vanir Construction Management, and his current job as a project manager, analyst,

and attorney for design and engineering consulting firm Arcadis North America.

“I want to expand the vision for what already is a beautiful community,” Paulding said.

Former San Luis Obispo Police Department officer Keith Storton filed to run in April. Storton, a 40-year Arroyo Grande resident, is running on a platform of sensible growth, supporting the city’s existing businesses, and responsible spending, according to his campaign website. Current city Planning Commissioner John Mack filed to run in May.

SLO development on Foothill moves forward despite opposition

Despite concerns expressed by residents and officials about traffic, parking, and design impacts, the city Planning Commission voted 5-1 on July 25 to approve the 6,800 square-foot mixed-use project, which will provide 78 housing units—including 12 affordable studios—and ground floor commercial space.

Mainly geared toward serving Cal Poly students, the apartments at 790 Foothill would go kittycorner to another student-oriented development that’s under construction at 22 Chorro St. It would displace the Blackhorse Espresso and Bakery that’s currently on the site. The same developer, Loren Riehl, is behind both projects.

Riehl received two code exemptions for the project: an increase in the site coverage allowed, from 75 percent to 90 percent, and an increase in the height of the building, from 35 feet to 43 feet. He was also granted a 35 percent “density bonus” for providing the affordable housing units, which will be rented for $728 per month, according to city staff.

While commissioners fretted that the project was “overbuilt” and “underparked,” they said that they lacked discretion due to new state laws that curtail localities’ control over housing.

Officials also argued that the project met city goals and policies. When SLO updated the land-use element of its general plan in 2014, it designated the Foothill Boulevard corridor as a “special” area suited for higher-density development.

“We decided that we needed more density at some of these key locations,” Commissioner Chuck Stevenson told an unhappy crowd

of residents in City Hall. “I understand the concern—there’s a certain degree of buyer’s remorse that we’ve adopted this plan. We’re now going to see implementation of these plans that we all sort of agreed on.”

The state’s Housing Accountability Act and the Density Bonus Law also restrict a city’s purview when it comes to housing projects. The law requires that cities denying developments make objective findings that the given project would have “specific, adverse impact upon public health or safety.” Riehl’s development met parking standards, and a traffic study concluded that it would not have significant effects on circulation.

Stevenson, who was the one dissenting vote on the commission, expressed frustration with the laws’ overall effect on local control.

“They sort of threw this legislation that affects all of us in the state,” he said. “I’d want to do a little tweaking of the design and make it fit better. ... I’d like to have that sort of opportunity. ... We don’t have any discretion on that because of this. That’s what we have to live with. We’re going to be living with it indefinitely unless that changes. This is not a good thing for the city of SLO.” Residents in attendance weren’t convinced of the traffic study’s findings and lamented the loss of a viewshed of Bishop Peak.

“In our headlong rush to build more housing in this community, I’m just fearful that we’re doing it on the backs of the existing residents and degrading the quality of life that makes SLO so special,” said Marc Brazil.

Woman reportedly caught drinking after deadly DUI crash

A 25-year-old convicted of killing a Santa Margarita woman in a drunk driving accident two years ago allegedly was seen intoxicated and was refused service at a bar in downtown SLO in the months following the fatal 2016 crash, according to court records.

The allegations came to light in documents submitted by SLO County prosecutors in connection with the sentencing of Jessica Allred, who was found guilty by a jury on July 5 of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. On July 30, Allred was sentenced to four years in state prison.

According to testimony during the trial, Allred was drinking and driving when she caused a fatal head-on collision that killed 56-year-old Denise Fox on April 30, 2016. A forensic test revealed that Allred had a blood alcohol level of 0.17 percent, more than twice the legal limit.

In a written brief submitted to the court prior to the sentencing, SLO County Deputy District Attorney Chase Martin included documentation of an anonymous tip to SLO County Crime Stoppers that Allred was seen drunk at a downtown bar on Feb. 11, 2017, about 10 months after the crash. The tipster, who identified himself only as a former co-worker of Allred’s, said she was “heavily intoxicated” when he refused to serve her. The tipster also claimed he overheard Allred bragging about being released from custody and that she was not supposed to be drinking. The tipster said he spoke with other downtown bar servers and managers, who told him that she’d been drinking at other locations that night. The unnamed tipster said he reported the incident to Crime Stoppers out of concern that Allred’s behavior might lead to additional DUI fatalities.

“This behavior is simply more of the same, and does not indicate any acknowledgement on Ms. Allred’s part that her irresponsibility was the cause of a tremendous emotional loss to Ms. Fox’s family,” Martin wrote.

A sentencing brief filed by Allred’s defense attorney, Patrick L. Fisher, argued the opposite. It stated that Allred was “shaken to her core” by the accident and characterizing the fatal crash as an “isolated lapse in judgment for an otherwise disciplined, kind, law abiding young woman.”

“Jessica has been shattered by Ms. Fox’s death,” Fisher wrote. “Jessica has not had a day go by without thinking of Denise Fox.” The brief also stated that Allred had not had “a single drink of alcohol” since

VIEWER DISCRETION the accident.

Fisher included letters Allred’s friends and family attesting to her character.

“Since the event of the accident, Jessica feels she was spared for a purpose … she feels compelled to dedicate what she does in life to, in some way, honor Mrs. Fox and her family,” Allred’s father, John, wrote.

Four years was the maximum sentence Allred could serve under the charges she was convicted of. As of Aug. 1, she remained in custody in SLO County Jail waiting transfer to state prison. The amount of restitution Allred will have to pay Fox’s family is yet to be determined.

Pismo Preserve project completion is waiting on funds

Although the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County has secured all permits for the Pismo Preserve parking lots and visitor amenities, construction won’t finish until all the project’s funding is finalized.

Approximately $3.5 million is still needed to complete the $17 million project, which includes the purchase of the land.

“If we had the money, we could start right away, and construction could be done in six months,” conservancy Executive Director Kaila Dettman said.

The organization is hoping that the remaining funds will come from individual donations, local organizations, government, and businesses.

With the permits in hand, the conservancy will be able to work on improvements to Mattie Road that include a sidewalk; widening of the entrance; and construction of several retaining walls, a picnic area, restroom facilities, bike racks, and a paved accessible trail along the lower terrace of the preserve. The parking lot will have a total of 54 parking spots, including some designed for people with limited mobility, motorcycles, and truck and horse trailer rigs.

“With these improvements, people will be able to get out on this preserve every day safely any time during the day from an hour before dawn and an hour after sunset,” Dettman said.

The Land Conservancy had to significantly redesign the parking lot area after preliminary archeological work revealed a previously recorded Northern Chumash cemetery. The redesign, a collaboration between the Chumash and the conservancy, avoids disturbing the cemetery and balances the need for visitor access.

In 2014, the conservancy bought the 900 acres of land for roughly $12 million, with a $1.2 million endowment to maintain the preserve. That same year, the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors unanimously approved $1.1 million from county park fees to go toward funding the preserve project.

In early 2016, volunteers and members of the Land Conservancy worked to pave the trails for the land, but access to the preserve is limited. Discovery Days and guided hikes will be closed to the public

Paso sends sales tax hike to ballot

Faced with funding shortfalls for city services like road repairs and public safety infrastructure, the Paso Robles City Council voted on July 18 to place a half percent sales tax increase on the November ballot.

If approved by a simple majority of voters, Paso would become the first city in SLO County to hike its sales tax above 7.75 percent—to 8.25 percent. The measure would raise an estimated $4.7 million annually for the city, with 40 percent of it generated by tourists. The measure would expire after six years.

Each city in the county already has a half percent sales tax in effect; Paso voters approved theirs in 2012. But city officials say more revenue is necessary to keep up with the maintenance of degrading local roads and infrastructure needs, like building a third fire station to serve the northeast end of the city.

“Our infrastructure is underfunded,” City Manager Tom Frutchey told council members on July 18.

According to Frutchey, earlier this year, the City Council set aside $3 million for depreciating facilities “for the first time.”

“We should’ve been putting aside $3 million every year for the past 40 years for those facilities,” Frutchey said.

Many residents who spoke at the City Council meeting opposed the tax proposal, and several felt that it was designed to pay off employee pension debt, of which Paso has about $40 million in liability.

“The 800-pound gorilla in this room is CalPERS [California Public Employee Retirement System] and the unfunded money that Paso owes to CalPERS. ... We still have a big, big multi-million dollar obligation,” resident John Reynolds said at the meeting.

A majority of the City Council felt that submitting the proposal to local voters was the right move.

“We’re not unique, but we still have to deal with it. So what do we do?”

Councilmember John Hamon said. “It’s either [a tax increase] or go bankrupt or we start degrading services. We’re kind of stuck at this point. To me, we need to give the public an opportunity to say what they want to do.”

The City Council initially considered a 1 percent sales tax increase, but council members decided that was too big an ask.

“I think the more consistently and the longer period of time we show we can handle these monies responsibly and transparently, the more confidence we’re going to have in the electorate in the

Short-term rental giant Airbnb will assist SLO in making sure residents using the company’s app to rent out rooms and homes to visitors are paying their fair share.

Airbnb announced that it had entered into an agreement with the city of SLO and began voluntarily collecting and remitting transient occupancy taxes (TOT) from its hosts on Aug. 1. According to the company, such agreements streamline the tax collection process for rental hosts and alleviate some of the administrative burden on cities and counties tasked with collecting what can be a valuable source of revenue.

“It’s been a priority for Airbnb as a company to engage and work with local jurisdictions on all things related to short-term rentals,” said Matt Middlebrook, Airbnb’s public policy lead for the state of California.

Under the agreement, Airbnb automates the tax collection process, calculating and collecting the taxes from guests at the time of booking, according to the company’s website. SLO will join more than 400 other jurisdictions around the world that entered similar agreements with Airbnb, including 45 in California, which Middlebrook said hosted more than 7 million Airbnb guests last year.

SLO requires short-tem rentals hosts to get a permit through the city and pay a transient occupancy tax. According to City Manager Derek Johnson, there are currently 241 active short-term rental listings within the city. Of those, Johnson said that 57 were permitted homestays. In June, the city began to request TOT payment from all short-term rentals, regardless of whether they were permitted or not.

“We are working on a plan to pursue collection of the unpermitted non-paying rentals and working on bringing them into compliance,” Johnson wrote in an email to New Times. “Regardless of being permitted or not, TOT must be paid.”

Johnson said that the average permitted homestay in the city paid $1,800 in TOT taxes last year. Based on that estimate, unpermitted homestays in the city not paying those taxes could mean SLO is losing out on between $279,000 to $531,000 of TOT revenue annually.

Airbnb will collect taxes from its hosts with both permitted and unpermitted rentals, possibly helping the city recover some of that revenue.

SLO is the second local government to partner with Airbnb to collect TOT payments.

In August of last year, SLO County also entered into a similar partnership to collect taxes from short-term rentals in the unincorporated areas of the county.

An Airbnb spokesperson told New Times that the company collected and remitted an estimated $1 million in taxes for the county between October 2017 and June 30 of this year. Δ —Chris McGuinness

News PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CITY OF GROVER BEACH

A LEAN BLUE LINE A recent audit of the Grover Beach Police Department recommended the agency hire additional officers.

The department’s staffing has remained virtually unchanged for a decade, according to the audit.

BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS

A few good cops Grover Beach seeks more officers to fill its ranks

I

t was a busy year for Grover Beach police officers.

In 2017, the department fielded 21,159 calls for service and more than 4,800 911 calls. The bulk of those calls were handled by 14 of the department’s 18 sworn officers, who are assigned patrol duties. But while the population of the city grew by more than 1,500 people in the last 10 years, those staffing numbers have remained virtually unchanged.

“You have a very lean staff, and I know I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know,” Ralph Martin, former chief for the Santa Maria Police Department, told members of the Grover Beach City Council at a July 9 meeting. “I think you need to take a hard look at that.”

Martin and his business partner, former Santa Maria City Manager Rick Haydon, were hired as consultants to conduct a departmentwide audit of the Grover Beach Police Department’s operations. That audit found that while the department’s employees were “hard working and resourceful” it also noted that its limited staffing was a major area of concern.

Much of that concern was centered on the impact of the department’s ability to patrol the city. Martin and Haydon’s report found that, on average, there are only two single-occupancy patrol cars on duty at any one time. If one of those patrol cars is out of service or not available due to working another call or transporting an arrestee to the SLO County Jail, it leaves a single officer to patrol the entire city.

“It presents not only a coverage issue, but a backup issue,” Martin said.

The report also noted that Grover Beach police officers had the second highest workload of any municipal police department in SLO County last year, fielding an estimated 1,114 calls perofficer for all of 2017, according to the report. Because of current vacancies, the report also noted that the department’s policy is to use overtime to fill those empty positions. Between the vacancies and the already high workload, the report warned that the prolonged use of that practice might cause officer burnout,

particularly because the officers work 12hour shifts.

To bolster the department’s numbers and reduce the risk of burnout, Martin and Haydon recommended that the department create three new police officer positions and one more sergeant.

“That staffing number would be consistent with the two agencies around us,” Grover Beach Police Chief John Peters told New Times.

But hiring police officers in SLO County can be challenging. Peters said that the pool of applicants for officer positions has shrunk over the last 10 years, while the cost to live on the Central Coast has continued to climb.

“The cost of living is much higher in our area than others and that can make recruitment difficult,” he said. “When a potential employee has to move from outside the area, those costs can add up.”

Still, Peters said that the Grover Beach City Council had already voted to give the department’s officers a 12 percent raise over the next three years, as well as increasing the department’s hiring incentive package, both of which could help entice applicants. Peters said the department is looking to fill the three current vacancies; it’s taking applications to send a recruit through police academy training, as well as putting out calls for a “lateral” police officer—an officer who is already working for another department or has already graduated from the academy. According to a job posting on the city’s website, starting pay for the lateral officer position ranges from $61,380 to $78,348 annually with a hiring bonus of up to $11,000.

Hiring the four officers recommended by the audit won’t begin immediately.

Peters said the audit was the first step of a long-range planning process. Moving forward, he said the department and city would use the report to develop a fiveyear strategic plan. The council would also consider the report’s findings during future budgeting processes, where it can decide if it wants to allocate funding for additional officers, he said.

“This isn’t something we are saying needs to happen next week,” Martin told the council at July 9 meeting. “We are talking about a three-to-five-year plan.” ∆ Staff Writer Chris McGuinness can be reached at cmcguinness@newtimesslo.com.

Tensions boil over at SLO mayoral forum for Progressives Club’s endorsement

“

I

am done pretending that this is a real discussion,” declared a fuming Heidi Harmon, shortly before the San Luis Obispo mayor dropped her microphone on a table and stormed out of the SLO Guild Hall on July 26 to both cheers and jeers.

Harmon left behind her November election challenger, T. Keith Gurnee, and a roomful of SLO County Progressives Democratic Club members and community observers. Before the eruption, Harmon and Gurnee had been engaged in a question-and-answer forum on SLO city issues, as the two vied for the endorsement of a political organization that Harmon co-founded in 2016.

Club leaders said they were perplexed that Gurnee—a retired urban planner and former SLO City Council member— had even sought its endorsement. A longtime Republican, Gurnee switched his party affiliation to Democrat in May, just days before announcing his candidacy for mayor, which he said was a reaction to the Trump administration’s child separation policy at the southern border. But in several op-ed columns he’s penned in the media as recently as April, Gurnee has lambasted the Progressives Club as “schizophrenic,” led by “zealots” and “political hacks” on a “downward spiral toward irrelevance.”

Now, suddenly relevant to Gurnee, the club merely followed its bylaws when considering his request. They state that any registered Democrat running for public office must be considered for an endorsement.

“It’s bizarre he even asked,” club co-chair Nick Andre told New Times on July 27.

Tension built in the room and impatience grew in Harmon as the forum progressed. Some Gurnee supporters sat in attendance, groaning audibly at Harmon and cheering for Gurnee. He received broad applause after he was asked and agreed to sign a pledge to not accept campaign donations from the

oil and gas industry—something that Harmon, who’s built her political career on environmental activism, had already done.

As the debate stretched past the halfhour mark, Harmon reached a boiling point and abandoned decorum.

“Why are we even here right now?”

Harmon asked the room. “This is ultimately a totally ridiculous juxtaposition and ridiculous choice and conversation. This is someone that’s been a Republican. This is someone who is proud to have left a SLO City Council meeting—of which he wants to be the lead of—to attend [conservative 4th District County Supervisor] Lynn Compton’s election night party. This is someone that’s spent every inch of ink he could find to disparage me personally, my council members ... and the hard work we’ve done every single day for years.

“Frankly, I’m happy to answer all your questions personally,” she continued, “but I am done pretending that this is a real discussion about which progressive is the best, or which progressive is the real progressive, because there is only one progressive up here tonight, and I think you all know who that is.”

Harmon marched out of the hall, and a fiery exchange immediately broke out in the audience.

“This is why progressives are going to go down the drain,” yelled a supporter of Gurnee’s, who stood up to face the attendees. “I’m as liberal as anybody.

This arrogance—this talking down to an established, accomplished, elderly gentleman—this arrogance is what’s going to cost all of us, because we’ll have to live through four more years of Trump.

You’re a bunch of know-it-alls.”

A club member then handed the man his belongings and told him to leave, to which he shouted: “Who are you to tell me to leave?”

“I’m a progressive, that’s who I am,” the member screamed back. “Get the fuck out!”

After tensions simmered a bit, Gurnee fielded a few more questions and then he, too, exited so the club members could deliberate and vote. Three local elected officials in attendance—3rd District County Supervisor Adam Hill and SLO City Councilmembers Aaron Gomez and Andy Pease—addressed the room and threw their support behind Harmon.

WILL THE REAL PROGRESSIVE PLEASE STAND UP? SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon (right) addresses the SLO County Progressives Democratic Club on July 26, as her election challenger, T. Keith Gurnee (left), watches. The club overwhelmingly endorsed Harmon for mayor, but not before Harmon cut the forum short.

Gomez and Hill reamed Gurnee for engaging in what they alleged were deceptive politics.

“It’s grandstanding at its best,” Gomez said. “I’ve already endorsed Heidi. Her leadership is amazing.”

“He is a charlatan,” Hill said, pointing to Gurnee’s record as a conservative and a professional representative for hotly contested county projects like the recently revived Las Pilitas Quarry in Santa Margarita. “He is not somebody you can trust to represent your interests.”

Progressives Club members voted that night by an 81 percent majority to endorse Harmon. Ten percent chose to endorse Gurnee, while 9 percent voted for “no endorsement.”

“I knew I wasn’t going to be endorsed,” Gurnee told New Times days after the meeting. “It was her show. The progressives are her group. ... I wanted them to hear me and see me and understand my points of view.”

In an interview with New Times the day after the blow-up, Harmon said she supports “in theory having inclusivity and a lot of different voices” on the mayoral campaign trail. But she held firm that Gurnee was “disingenuous” in the way he represented himself and called it “dangerous to have someone in that space who has been so committed to fighting against our values and us personally.”

“I would say that having someone like Keith Gurnee coming to ask for the progressive endorsement would be like the NAACP having David Duke coming to ask for their endorsement,” Harmon said.

“This is a group that has a very specific and committed set of values that Mr. Gurnee has done everything in his power to work against. To me, what it said was we’re sort of putting him on equal footing as [far as] progressive values.”

Gurnee said the abrupt end to the forum “kind of surprised” him.

“While she was walking out, I was asking her if that’s her version of civility,” he said.

The candidates’ spat kicks off what all signs indicate will be a contentious election season. While Harmon has the progressive endorsement in the bag, not all of its members and city residents are thrilled with the City Council’s direction. Concerns and complaints about development came to the forefront of the forum—criticisms that are at the core of Gurnee’s challenge for the mayor’s seat.

“I am shocked and dismayed by the changes that I’m seeing,” one SLO resident said at the Guild Hall on July 26. “Everything I’ve seen since Heidi [was elected] has been overdevelopment. ... Nothing that speaks to the character of this town.”

But others stood up for encouraging housing development in a city that has severe issues with housing supply and affordability.

“Young people are scraping by to stay here. ... It’s incredibly hard,” said Andre, the club co-chair. “If people in this room want to say, ‘Oh too bad,’ that’s fine. But that’s absolutely not progressive.” ∆ Staff Writer Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

LET OUR READERS KNOW WHAT’S NEW AND EXCITING FOR GRADES K–12 IN THIS SPECIAL SECTION FRESH START Larry and Ivy Schmidt took the plunge, leaving the familiarity of Michigan to make Morro Bay their new home.

BY KAREN GARCIA

Home by the water A bout a year ago, Larry and Ivy Schmidt were working full-time jobs just like everyone else.

Working to have their home, working to clothe and feed themselves and their children. It was the same old grind.

Larry was a mechanic and Ivy a teacher.

“We were just caught up in working all the time and not having any fun, so we decided to take a huge chance,” Larry said.

The couple decided that they needed change and that meant moving from Michigan to California, leaving everything that was familiar behind. Instead of just looking for other jobs, the couple wanted to try their hand at a business. For about two months, they have been the proud owners of Skipper’s Brew Coffee House in Morro Bay. When they left Michigan, the Schmidts knew that if it became necessary, they could always find jobs in their respective fields to support their family.

“I’m getting a bit older and being a mechanic is getting harder on the body, so we thought we’d try something else,” he said.

Smiling, Larry said they sold everything they owned and bought a motorhome.

“We packed the kids in it, the cats, and us, and we drove across the United States, visiting Mount Rushmore and the Grand Canyon. All those amazing stops and sights,” he said.

The destination was always California, Ivy said. They had visited the area years before and knew it was where they belonged.

“We had joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful to find a place on the water that we could call our own?’ I couldn’t believe it worked out,” Ivy said.

After traveling across the states, the family made their way from Southern California to the Central Coast. Larry said he looked on the bizbuysell.com website for a local business they could take over.

To their surprise, a coffee shop on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay was for sale.

“It came up, and I thought, ‘No way, a coffee shop on the water. Yes, please!’ ” Larry said.

The previous owner was moving to Washington state and ready to leave her business in the hands of someone else, and the Schmidts were ready to take it on. While the coffee shop itself is small, Larry and Ivy fill it with hard work and lots of love—and occasionally their two children too.

“We’re training the kids to be baristas,” Larry said with a laugh.

The shop is housed within a building that leads to a deck, so after ordering a mocha or dirty chai you can enjoy the waters of Morro Bay and the view of Morro Rock on a clear day. Not only does the couple run the business, they’re inside the blue-hued shop making every cup of coffee to your liking. If coffee isn’t your thing, the couple also has Whalebird kombucha on tap, and they make tea and fruit smoothies.

Inspired by the Central Coast motto of keeping it local, the coffee beans come straight from SLO Roasted Coffee in Los Osos.

The family said they’ve been supported and encouraged by the Morro Bay community to make their shop a grinding success.

“It has just been wonderful so far; Morro Bay has been the best to us.

The local business owners and the City Council has been so welcoming,” Ivy said.

To have a cup of joe and visit with Ivy and Larry, take a walk down to 571 Embarcadero in Morro Bay.

Fast fact On Sept. 8 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., sample guacamole from all different kinds of recipes and quench your thirst with margaritas. The Avocado and Margarita Festival in Morro Bay will have live music, arts and crafts, and specialty vendors.

aylon Watson, 2, and his mom, Brianne Watson, sit in the shade on the steps in front of the San Luis Obispo County Library. He slowly nibbles on an apple that came from a white paper bag. Children gasp in disbelief at a magician in the library’s community center that is to the right of the facility’s entrance. As Waylon walked out of the show on July 25, volunteers offered him the white bag, which included an apple, a bag of carrots, a sandwich, Raisels (“sourlicious golden raisins”), and a box of milk.

He timidly nodded between bites, acknowledging that his apple was good.

The bag it came in is part of a free summer meal program that the library participates in. Volunteers help hand out lunch to any child who wants one regardless of their economic status. The free meals are put on by local school districts to give kids who participate in the free or reduced meal program the opportunity to have a meal during the summer months when school isn’t in session.

According to the California Food Policy Advocates—a nonprofit organization that focuses on food policy and increasing lowincome Californians’ access to healthy food—in 2013-14, of the 38,967 people in San Luis Obispo County who were considered low income, 37 percent were food insecure.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as the lack of access to an adequate amount of food for active, healthy living. In 2016, out of 16.5 percent of U.S. households that reported to be food insecure, 8.5 percent of those households included adults with children—which means due to a lack of resources, these households had difficulty providing enough food for all their members at some point during the year.

Food insecurity is also experienced by single young adults or students at the university and community college levels.

According to a 2015 report from the Urban Institute, “Assessing Food Insecurity on Campus,” about 11.2 percent of students at four-year colleges and 13.5 percent of students in vocational education reported that they were food insecure.

In 2016, a study conducted by the University of California and its Global Food Initiative found that food insecurity can negatively impact a student’s ability to focus, which in turn can affect academic performance. In addition to reduced food intake, it can also negatively impact diet quality, leading to inadequate intake of fruits, vegetables, and dairy, as well as an insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals, which may lead to negative health outcomes and increase in the risk of chronic disease over time.

There are many programs that Cal Poly and Cuesta College are utilizing to make sure their students are eating properly to successfully earn their degree. San Luis Coastal and Lucia Mar school districts are banding together to ensure their students are not only eating nutritionally but eating favorable foods. In doing so, the districts are also collaborating to feed children throughout San Luis Obispo County during the summer.

New resources

Summer session is in full swing at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, but the Campus Center isn’t as busy as it would be during the school year. A few students linger during breaks between classes. The Cougar Pantry is the most recent addition to this area, which includes the Student Life and Leadership Office, the bookstore, the Associated Student Center, and the cafeteria.

Hungry for more

NOT SO STANDARD Participants of the summer meal program can count on not only a snack in their white paper sack but an apple, carrots, a sandwich, and milk.

Students on the Central Coast have an appetite for learning but many are living with food insecurities

Enrollment in classes and a student I.D. card are all it takes to gain access to the pantry, which operates like a campus food bank. The pantry shelves contain ingredients, dry goods, produce, and microwaveable meals for students to take at their leisure.

Before the pantry existed, Cuesta College provided (and continues to provide) its students with food resources through its partnership with the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo. Through the local food bank, the college gets a monthly distribution of food on its San Luis Obispo and North County campuses. At the sites, participants receive one bag of pantry food and one bag of fresh produce. Student households (depending on the number of people per household) must meet income guidelines created by the USDA to qualify for the distribution.

Mark Sanchez, the assistant superintendent and vice president of student services, said that through the partnership, Cuesta’s distribution sites served more than 3,000 participants per year—that includes students and community members.

Sanchez said the number of participants made the college realize it needed more nutritional food resources for its students.

The Cougar Pantry officially opened its doors April 10, about a year after submitting paperwork for a state initiative that provided funding to establish food pantries on college campuses.

10 • New Times • August 2 - August 9, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

“To name just a few items that we have available for students, we’ve got soup, almond milk, cereal, and tuna helper,” Sanchez said.

Although it’s closed for the summer, it will be open during fall and spring semesters as the college assesses how many students utilize the pantry and whether there are enough funds to keep it open beyond the two semesters. The pantry was established with the thought that students, free of charge, can get as much as they need for at least two to three days of meals.

In June 2017, Gov. Jerry Brown approved a state budget that provided $7.5 million as part of a “HungerFree College Campus” initiative. The investment provided the UC, CSU, and California Community College systems each with a one-time $2.5 million award to develop student meal credit sharing programs, create campus food pantries, and designate employees to assist students with the otherwise outdated CalFresh enrollment process.

Cuesta’s application was accepted, and the college was awarded $17,000 to establish a pantry of its own.

“It took some time for us to identify a location, get shelving, and work with our faculty to determine which types of food we should have available for the students,” he said. “We had our nutritional faculty have their input on which types of food we should put on our shelves.”

In just six weeks, the pantry had 600 visits.

“What we were able to ascertain in the six weeks we were open is that it’s going to take a lot of resources to sustain this pantry because as word spreads that this is a resource available on campus, more and more students will utilize it,” he said.

Sanchez said the college worked hard to make the pantry a welcoming and safe resource for students.

“It takes a lot for a student to say, ‘I’m going to go access these resources,’” he said. “When you put something together and you know it’s meeting a need and you see the students actually utilizing the resource, it’s humbling.”

There are several avenues that Cuesta College is looking into so that it can keep the doors of the pantry open for those who need it. The state-funded Student Equity Program—a program that provides resources to students who are considered disproportionately impacted (students who significantly underperform the highest performing group of students)— committed $10,000 in the 2018-19 academic year to support the pantry.

Sanchez said that the college’s faculty and staff created an account through the Cuesta College Foundation funded by personal donations. In the short time that the pantry has been open, the account has brought in $1,000 to contribute to the pantry’s sustainability.

“I think oftentimes we drive up and down Highway 1 and we see the beautiful coastline and the beautiful homes. But there’s this whole segment of our population that is going without basic needs, and it’s concerning. So for us here at Cuesta, it’s a start to bring the community together through food distribution, through partnerships with the food bank, and our partnerships with local farmers,” he said. “We want to continue to expand our service.”

Cuesta College toured the Cal Poly Food Bank to get some ideas about what a potential food pantry could look like.

Cal Poly spokesperson Matt Lazier said students can receive fresh produce— lettuce, kale, carrots, and apples—or dry and canned goods.

“The food pantry relies on the generosity of donors to provide funding for the purchase of food. As an agency partner of the Food Bank Coalition, the pantry can purchase food at a reduced cost,” Lazier told New Times.

Cal Poly’s food pantry started in 2014 and is accessible throughout the school year (including summer quarters), Monday through Friday.

In 2015, the university established Cal Poly Cares, a program that supports students with unexpected financial emergencies that could impact their academic success. Cal Poly Foundation board members pledged $1 million over five years for Cal Poly Cares. The money is given to students in the form of grants that are typically used for unexpected emergency expenses, such as car repairs, medical bills, academic supplies, or tuition.

Lazier said if a student is food insecure or hungry, the administration will typically give them meal vouchers and encourage them to utilize the food pantry.

“However, many students who are food insecure have other financial responsibilities that are impacting their ability to afford food, and Cal Poly Cares can help with those expenses,” he said.

Lazier said any student can have access to the food pantry as long as they are experiencing food insecurity due to financial constraints. Any student is also eligible to apply for Cal Poly Cares and/

or meal vouchers. A significant majority of the students who utilize Cal Poly Cares are from low-income backgrounds. More than 70 percent of students using the program are from families with expected contributions of less than $8,000.

Students can help their peers access food on campus with the Mustang Meal Share Program. The program allows any student with a meal plan to donate up to 10 meals per academic year to another student that is experiencing food insecurity.

“The students who donate their meals are providing a direct benefit to other students in their community. The students receiving the meals could be their friends, roommates, or classmates,” Lazier said.

In the last three years, more than 2,500 students have utilized the program. Lazier said the school provided at least 3,700 meal vouchers to more than 400 students.

Associate professor of nutrition at Cal Poly Aydin Nazmi said for some incoming freshmen it will be their first time experiencing food insecurity.

“In college it’s a different level of time commitment and dedication versus high school where there are definite academic consequences. There are academic consequences but also behavioral and social,” Nazmi said.

In his view, while food insecurity has always been around, the discussion about programs and aiding students has recently gained momentum. But society has always viewed the starving college student as anecdotal—it builds character.

“It’s not charming; it has really nasty effects. When I was a graduate student, I studied in London, which was very expensive to live in. I was very poor, so I would go to meetings only because it was announced that food would be offered,” he said. “That’s called food insecurity.”

He said a college student has one job— to graduate college, but a student can’t be successful without food.

Moving food forward Food insecurity affects students at all levels, but in K-12 schools, parents can enroll their students in free or reduced breakfast and lunch programs.

According to the California Department of Education, during the 2016-17 academic school year, San Luis Coastal Unified School District had 7,718 students enrolled and 2,581 of those students utilized the free or reduced price meal program. During the same year, the Lucia Mar Unified School District had 10,649 enrolled students with 5,059 students utilizing the meal program.

“Food is the great equalizer. Every single day we all have to sit down and have at least two meals,” Lucia Mar Unified Food Service Director Laurel Goins said. “It’s the best way to start a conversation, and the most memories are associated with when you sit down with people and break bread … or pizza, whatever you’re into.”

She’s sitting in the break room of Lucia Mar’s food services office with her counterpart from San Luis Coastal Unified School District, Food Service Director Erin Primer. For this collaborative duo, it’s all about nutritious food and how to best serve it to their students.

During the school year, Lucia Mar and San Luis Coastal offer their students the standard two meals—breakfast and lunch—whether it’s a free or reduced meal or paid for by a child’s guardian. Lucia Mar also offers a supper meal served between 3 and 3:30 p.m. Goins said that the program is for students who participate in after-school enrichment programs such

and triticale. The local grains took the place of a brown rice dish for lunch.

Goins said that the Lucia Mar district hasn’t been able to source as many different local produce type products as San Luis Coastal, but they have been able to partner with local agencies such as One Cool Earth. One Cool Earth is a nonprofit that supports schools in creating or sustaining a school garden. There are many options for customizable programs including one-time teacher trainings, family cooking nights, zero waste system setups, and garden-build workshops. They also provide ongoing services such as regular maintenance for a school garden and education for students.

Students at Ocean View Elementary School have been working closely with One Cool Earth this past school year.

Goins said what makes the program so special is whatever produce that the students are growing in the garden and learning about is reflected on the school cafeteria menu. This coming school year, Goins is working with her district to take it a step further and have One Cool Earth work with teachers and their classrooms to not only grow different produce but also use that produce in the school lunches.

“Having students come in and talk with their fellow students and say, ‘Hey we grew this and it tastes great.’ Because I can go around all day talking about how radishes are great with butter and salt.

But as a grown-up I don’t have the same dialogue level with them that their peers do,” she said.

Goins and Primer said that when school is out and summer is in full swing, many families that depend on the school district’s free or reduced-price lunches lack the resources to provide three meals a day. Together, the districts combat that by offering summer meal programs throughout San Luis Obispo County.

The meals are offered at selected middle and elementary schools in both districts, the Boys & Girls Club Teen Center, and participating libraries within the San Luis Obispo County Library system.

Luis Obispo County Libraries to offer free summer meals for kids under the age of 18.

The County of SLO Public Libraries became involved in the summer meals program through the California Library Association’s Lunch at the Library Program five years ago. It’s a program that provides training and resources for libraries all over the state to become summer meal sites. The program was also the start of free summer meals that don’t require any background or income information from the participant.

Margaret Kensinger-Klopfer, the coordinating librarian and youth services director, said that in the last five years, the SLO County Library has given more than 4,500 meals.

“As soon as the County of SLO Libraries heard about this program, we thought, ‘Yes!’ We are already a safe place that children come to during the summer and we are a hub to our communities,” Kensinger-Klopfer said. “We recognize this is a natural way to support children in our communities that might not have access to food during the summer.”

As 2-year-old Waylon finishes his apple under the shaded steps, he digs into his white paper bag in search of his next snack. Although Waylon and his family don’t experience food insecurity and aren’t low income, the lunch program doesn’t discriminate.

Brianne, Waylon’s mom, says she didn’t know that the library partnered with San Luis Coastal and Lucia Mar to provide meals for kids that participated in summer programs at the library until this year.

The free summer meals booth is usually posted outside the library on the same day as the Summer Reading Program or other events such as the magic show. Once the magic show ends, the booth flooded with a line of children waiting for their own white paper sacks.

Brianne remembers coming to the summer reading program at the library when she was a child, but, at the time, there wasn’t a meal program offered. She

as homework assistance, extra curricular activities, and science camps.

“If we have some students that have been with us since 8 in the morning, they are going to be hungry around 3 [p.m.], as all children are,” she said.

San Luis Coastal is now offering breakfast before the bell, so students who haven’t had a meal before school starts can have the right amount of fuel to start the day.

“I think Erin and I are of the same opinion, that I’ve gone to a meeting where I have not had any food, and after about an hour, you completely lose me,” Goins said. “So if I can’t pay attention and I’m 40, there is no way that a 7-year-old is going to hear me over their rumbling tummy.”

Aside from ensuring that their students are properly fed, both food service directors excitedly said they’re proud of their new focus on providing nutritious food that kids care about.

“What we really try to focus on with all the materials that we serve is how do we serve the most delicious foods. How do we serve foods that are nutritionally adequate and wholesome, but also that kids will like?”

Primer said.

It’s not an easy task. In order to get their students excited about the food that’s on their lunch trays, food services tells the story about where the produce comes from.

For San Luis Coastal, Primer said it’s about highlighting the local farm community that surrounds the schools ADDRESSING A NEED Although the Cougar Pantry was only open for six weeks, it was enough time for within the district. about 600 students, including return visits, to utilize the on-campus resource.

Allowing a seven-story building downtown in exchange for so-called ‘affordable housing’ is ridiculous

M

any architectural blunders can be disguised or covered up but not a building that is 75 feet tall.

Seven stories in downtown San Luis Obispo.

The city is poised to allow a developer to increase maximum height from 50 to 75 feet in exchange for the inclusion of “affordable/workforce” housing plus two choices from a menu that includes view decks and “economic vitality.” Who among us wants to trade views of the surrounding mountains in exchange for a public access “view deck”? Who welcomes the pretense of “economic

The City specifies “moderate” income affordability in its downtown zoning regulations. As defined, a developer in SLO can charge up to $1,214 per month for an “affordable” studio unit, and a single person can earn up to $69,900 to qualify for it. It’s unlikely the market would even support this rental rate.

When market rent substitutes for “affordable,” it’s anything but. And who would trade the skyline for anyone earning 20 percent above the median income for this county? Worse still, developers are possibly excused from paying the usual “in lieu” fees that

Worse still, developers are possibly excused from paying the usual ‘in lieu’ fees that could actually go toward an increased supply of genuinely affordable units for really needy people. And the developers are eligible for tax breaks in return for this nightmare. vitality” in exchange for traffic congestion and increased parking into adjacent neighborhoods? Have you noticed downtown is already affecting the neighborhoods that are adjacent to the adjacent ones?

Before letting them piggyback on the charm of our small town, look first at one component: affordable housing.

could actually go toward an increased supply of genuinely affordable units for really needy people. And the developers are eligible for tax breaks in return for this nightmare.

This mockery of affordability was most likely lobbied for by the builders’ trade associations statewide to fool the general public and city officials. We are

being asked to sacrifice the heart of our downtown for this height bonus to a developer who is getting a break from fees and taxes.

Many years ago, I visited this town and never forgot its charm. It’s not that I don’t sympathize with renters, since I was one for much of my life. I’ve also worked with frustrated groups who have tried for years to save this city from urban renewal theories and developers’ pressure. I also have painful flashbacks to how the city practically bankrupted me with their onerous planning process. My only allies were (first) Alex Madonna and (then) Mayor Dave Romero, who helped me get two vacant lots onto the market just before the last real estate bust.

For everyone’s benefit, we need to stop this insanity quickly and decisively. Stop any current plans on tall buildings and have that height option removed from the zoning code. Put an end to discussions about extending this zoning to upper Monterey Street. And then look at affordability standards since what applies in this case is possibly a detriment to true affordability. Finally, we need to ensure that those who stand to gain from loose zoning regulations are not the ones to write them Our downtown is beloved by residents and the envy of every visitor, but it could fall prey to the latest planners’ fad and to Sacramento lobbyists. Contact every member of (and candidate for)

City Council before Aug. 21, when the council will review the zoning regulations. Show up at the council meeting that night at 6 p.m. Let them know that you will vote only for those who will save our downtown. ∆ Jeanne Kinney wants to save San Luis Obispo’s downtown from overdevelopment.

Sad

Perhaps I amuse too easily, but I did find August Salemi’s letter (“A people’s president,” July 26) quite entertaining— which one can only imagine he meant it to be. But one does have to sympathize with those who can no longer enjoy Trump Steaks washed down with Trump Vodka, fly in Trump Airlines, attend Trump University, get a Trump Mortgage, or conceal sweaty armpits with Trump Cologne.

some sort of safe house for the homeless people of their area (“Worth fighting for,” July 12).

I was surprised this piece was published, as it was emotionally driven; made wild, baseless claims; and had little concern for logic. I wanted to believe there was a thread to follow because Cynthia’s heart was in the right place, but then I got to my favorite part where Cynthia made her major appeal while describing exactly who the people in need of help are: “... the horrendous, dirty, smelly, thieving, sex disease riddled, addicted, unemployed, ill, lazy, very unfortunate, unlucky, abused, poor homeless people.”

(I will refer to this from here on as “Cynthia’s deplorables.”)

Now, I’m not in sales, but this seems like a quick way to alienate both sides of the equation. Why should Cynthia’s deplorables believe Cynthia cares about them when she’s so busy insulting them? And why would her peers in her area care to help save these deplorables?

Well, my boyfriend and I took it to the streets. We tracked down some deplorables and told them how they were described by their greatest champion.

They weren’t exactly thrilled.

Yet we were not deterred! We told them that if they could just swallow their pride and allow her to carry on with her verbose description, that we were sure she’d open her backyard up to them so they could fi nd shelter in a safe space while their new safe house is constructed. She’d surely provide some catering and allow them to use her restroom when needed. We told them as soon as we got an address,

On a very positive note, I want to thank the person who turned in my disabled sister’s cellphone in to the Atascadero Police Department.

Really, really appreciated. Also, I want to thank APD for making the effort to contact us to let us know they had it. We all know how important our cellphones are to us. I appreciate you both.

Street talk Social media sound off

New Times readers took to our website to share their thoughts about our July 26 cover story, “All that’s left: SLO County families cope with loss in the wake of the opioid epidemic.”

The human in humanity

Today, July 27, I was reduced to tears by the actions of a kind, generous person in front of the Dallidet Adobe. First, there was the horrendous experience of seeing a person lying either dead or unconscious in the street with cars all around. Then, there was the compassion and concern of a young woman who kept the cars at bay and decided to help. A young man had apparently inhaled a toxic aerosol and collapsed in the street in front of the adobe. A young woman got out of her car and on her cellphone to call for help.

Other people in their cars had stopped to avoid the young man, who was on his back in the street, but the young woman stayed on the sidewalk. I don’t know her name but her compassion and concern have moved me to tears all day. Thank you to her. And thank you to all the other people in our community who show compassion and caring and toward others daily and are seldom, if ever, recognized.

The continuation of a bad move

Congratulations to District 2 voters for re-electing Supervisor Bruce Gibson and returning him, and his former mistress, now wife, to the county’s payroll.

Public record shows his wife earns $76,000 a year along with county benefits, and he earns $86,000 a year plus benefits for a total of $162,000 plus benefits. That makes the total cost for this supervisor $1.9 million plus benefits for time served to date. By the end of his fourth term, our tax dollars will support a total more than $2.6 million.

Is this in our best interest when Mr. Gibson cost the residents of Los Osos more than $20 million in unwarranted cost overruns for the sewer project? This fact caused one of his opponents to state that Mr. Gibson should be so ashamed that he should resign from office.

Hanky panky during the sewer project was aided and abetted by him, including the resignation of county Public Works Director Paavo Ogren.

It was stated that it would take a book to describe the misdeeds perpetrated during the sewer installation that cost Los Osos residents $183 million plus the cost of a $10 million lawsuit.

Thank you for re-electing a career politician who milks all of us taxpayers dry.

More stupidity on the way

Did I get this right? Our president placed tariffs on our goods. Other countries retaliated by meeting or exceeding those tariffs. Our farmers complained because it hit them in the pocketbook. So, because of Donald Trump’s tariffs, our president is gifting farmers with $12 billion of our (yours and mine) tax money to alleviate the shortfall.

A 5-year-old could have told you this would happen. I wonder if our president is going give $100 million to Harley Davidson because that is what their CEO stated the tariffs were going to cost them.

This is a paint-by-the-numbers version of economics. Stand by for more stupidity.

Fake news

Last month I attended the Cal Poly graduation for my granddaughter. The content coming from the speakers at graduation left us with the same feeling that Fox News reported. There were 11 in our party and everybody had the same feeling: Cal Poly wants more browns and blacks than whites. Another granddaughter has been accepted there and may change her mind.

Development may give locals a chance

I fully support the San Luis Ranch project. Having been born in San Luis and just graduating Cal Poly, I am fully aware of housing costs and issues for young people. I have worked on campus, off campus, and in downtown SLO at a bar just to get by. I pushed through four years of school to save money. Our family has been in SLO County for more than 100 years and there is no way I could afford to stay if housing projects that could give us a chance aren’t approved.

I find it troubling and sad that people are so against allowing locals to live where they grew up. I want to stay close to family and work and support my hometown. I am thrilled there is a small chance I can become a permanent residence of SLO on my own merits.

A nauseating stench

People using Prado Road and the Bob Jones Trail, as well as the businesses and homes across the street from the wastewater plant, frequently encounter a smell similar to dozens of people crapping next to them! An open window in a passing vehicle allows the stench to attack the passengers.

I have nearly vomited it is so bad.

So, the newly built homeless center, across the street from the facility will experience this stench from south or easterly winds! There is already a lot of foot and bike traffic past this terrible smell—from the Prado Day Center and the bikes and vehicles traveling from Higuera Road to the popular movie theater.

There needs to be a way to treat the sewage water with a chemical deodorizer—or if that’s not possible, to quickly construct a fence or wall so high that the smell can’t penetrate it.

This is a county and city oversight that has been ignored for too long. I suggest a policy needs to be enacted and budgeted for by the administrators who have jurisdiction over the facility. Money has been appropriated for the water treatment plant, and it’s critical to allot some of it to fix this problem!

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

False narratives

W

hen we ignore facts, we do injustice to the truth and create false narratives. Attributing every natural disaster to climate change relieves society of responsibility for making tough decisions.

From the early 1970s to 2007 I fought fires, serving in Butte County with the California Department of Forestry, SLO City Fire (dispatcher), and as a volunteer with Atascadero. I fought fires overseas as an enlisted man in the Philippines, brush fires set by insurgents designed to destroy our antennae fields, and at sea and on piers with my Coast Guard reserve unit.

My interest in firefighting probably originated with a traumatic view of the December 1958 fire at Our Lady of the Angels Elementary School on Chicago’s west side in which 92 children and three nuns were killed. I remember it playing live on TV and relating it to my own classmates as I attended a parochial school at the time. Twenty years ago, I designed a firestorm course and simulation for county firefighters, part of which is still used in county wildland fire drills. What does a retired Army lieutenant colonel know about wildland fires or firefighting?

Not nearly enough, but I’m still learning.

I study a great deal of history, and the history of pioneer America is the history of fire as much as it’s the history of conflict between civilizations.

This week tragedy struck many fellow

Californians with three firefighters and three civilians (as of July 29) killed in massive wildfires. Many other civilians are still missing as these fires rage. As usual, young reporters breathlessly report how these fires are unprecedented as they do most disasters (they aren’t) and how climate change has brought hellfire down upon us (it hasn’t).

If I told you that on Jan. 18, 1973, after a week of receiving heavy rainfall (12 inches) that we received another 3 inches of rain in 45 minutes in SLO, most would be astonished. We did, and most of downtown SLO, Madonna Plaza, and Laguna Lake were underwater. We’ve had droughts that devastated the SLO County ag community in the 19th century, killing half the livestock in the county, and fires that swept North County. A wildfire in 1922 burned a similar pattern as the 1994 Highway 41 Fire in Atascadero, which, at its peak, burned 600 acres a minute. The 1922 fire led to the formation of the Atascadero Fire Protection District.

The conflagrations in LA in the 1960s led to the creation of the Incident Command System used to manage major incidents by fire agencies across America, and the Malibu firestorm of 1993 burned all the way to the “Great Pacific Firebreak.” Nothing stops a winddriven conflagration until it runs out of fuel or winter arrives with snow, as it did in the great fires of Yellowstone in 1988.

None of these events were ascribed to climate change.

Our fire problem is a people problem combined with politics, which means the land and wildlife always lose. We put people in the wrong places and allow them to build with the wrong materials. We risk firefighters’ lives to save wildlands but more and more, to save communities placed in indefensible spaces, ignoring weather, terrain, and the realities of weather upon fire history. Wildfire is engrained in American history along with the massive loss of life and property underlying the narrative of lessons slowly learned, if at all.

Americans have experienced devastating wildfire disasters, from the Peshtigo, Wisconsin, firestorm on Oct. 8, 1871, which claimed 1,500 lives (the same day as the great Chicago Fire) to a series of fires that devastated rural communities in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Wildfires obliterated entire communities. The wildfire that hit northeastern Minnesota in October 1918 destroyed 38 towns over a 1,500 squaremile area. William B. Greeley, former chief of the U.S. Forest Service, stated to fire historian Stewart H. Holbrook in 1943 (Burning an Empire) that wildfire had killed more pioneers than were killed in all Indian attacks combined and destroyed more timber than all the lumberjacks had cut.

The fire that hit Cloquet, Wisconsin, on Oct. 12, 1918, killed more than 450 people outright, injured or displaced 52,000, and

destroyed $73 million in property (1918 dollar value). Mass casualty wildfires have occurred more often than memory recalls, largely due to poor warning and the immense size of the fires as they swept down on communities. Firestorms in the 19th and early 20th century uprooted 4-foot diameter trees, killing people instantly in their tracks as they fled. Hinckley, Minnesota, lost nearly 500 citizens to the firestorm of 1894 whose devastation covered an area exceeding 900 square miles.

Wildfires devastated western communities, such as Wallace, Idaho (obliterated in the “Big Burn” of 1910).

During that event, 78 firefighters and uncounted civilians were killed. At its peak there were 1,736 forest fires burning in Idaho and Montana alone.

Yet, with all this history, we’re told it’s climate change causing our current fires.

Fire experts don’t agree, attributing fire disasters to landscapes altered by 100 years of fire suppression, inappropriate development in the wildland-urban interface, and environmental policies preventing sound forest management. Meanwhile, real solutions are lost in the false narratives attributing disasters to climate change, allowing us to continue to do nothing. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder

Political circus

T

hat mischievous ol’ Keith “T-bone” Gurnee is up to his shenanigans again, making waves on the blue side of things and leaving a wake so wide CalCoastNews can’t help but jump in with both water skis—even if it does look a little awkward and desperate.

Only this time, T-bone’s target isn’t 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill, his favorite little minx to poke until he hisses.

It’s SLO Progressives Club darling and co-founder SLO Mayor Heidi “I just got a lipstick named after me” Harmon.

She was as dumbfounded as I was that longtime conservative Gurnee swapped his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat mere days before he announced he was running against Harmon for mayor. And then, Gurnee, being the political deviant he is (wanting to add to the CalCoastNews backing he’s sure to get—cue the favorable “articles” and “polls” giving him a leg up over Harmon), asked the Progressives Club for a ringing endorsement!

The circus that you need to prepare yourselves for in the 2018 race for SLO city mayor started on July 26 in the SLO Guild Hall, when ringleader Gurnee and unwilling participant Harmon spoke in front of a very confused crowd of club members who didn’t know whether to eat their peanuts or throw them at the stage.

Hill, I believe you were right to call Gurnee a sly little minx! Because after referring to the club as a bunch of

“schizophrenic” “political hacks” on a “downward spiral toward irrelevance” in op-eds published by—you guessed it!—his CalCoast buddies, it makes absolute sense to turn around and ask those Bernie Sanders wannabes to endorse your run for mayor.

Harmon, for her part, did spar with him for about half an hour during the weird version of reality, where our two Twilight Zone characters pretended like they didn’t know who the progressives were going to endorse. But then, our roseadorned protagonist had enough.

“I am done pretending this is a real discussion about which progressive is the best or which progressive is the real progressive, because there is only one progressive up here tonight, and I think you all know who that is,” she declared through mighty red lips (that’s that lipstick color), before doing a sweet mic drop on a table and storming out!

I knew I liked her!

Gurnee muttered something about civility as she swished out the door in her black dress. Meanwhile, one of his supporters screamed, “This is why progressives are going to go down the drain!” after Harmon left. Civility indeed.

And would you believe it? Ten percent of the club’s members actually voted to endorse T-bone the antagonist.

Dun-na-na-nuh, dun-na-na-nuh! Maybe

he is right about that club.

Their reasoning?

Overdevelopment in SLO. “I am shocked and dismayed by the changes that I’m seeing.

Everything I’ve seen since Heidi [was elected] has been overdevelopment. … Nothing that speaks to the character of this town,” one resident in attendance stated.

Ummm. Let me get this straight. You’re fine with giving students a free college education and socialized health care? But if someone wants to actually live between four walls with a roof over their head, they can move somewhere other than your special paradise? Because, you know, they’re ruining your viewshed with their residential unit.

Without development in SLO, the only way a new person, a new business, or economic growth could move here is if one of you “progressive” NIMBYs kicks the bucket. What are you going to do? Offer someone a free education at Cal Poly and tell him or her they have to telecommute?

Give someone health care and say we don’t have room in town for any new doctors and all the existing doctors aren’t accepting new patients?

News flash! We’re pretty much there— at least, um, without all the free stuff or that pesky health care for all. This city is so desperate for housing that people who work here could actually afford to live in, its officials will pretty much let you do whatever you want if you put “affordable” housing units in your project!

You know a progressive who’s proaffordable housing? Jimmy “I lost the

supervisors race so I’m running for City Council” Paulding. If you live in Arroyo Grande, you can vote for this young politician, again. Maybe this time, he’ll win by 60 votes! But what if he loses? Well, there’s always the Lucia Mar Unified School District’s board of trustees.

I’ll bet some of the progressives who voted to endorse Gurnee also endorsed fresh-faced Paulding in the supervisors race.

I also bet some of the same pro-Gurnee progressives showed up to the SLO Planning Commission hearing about that four-story building proposed for Foothill Boulevard—right across the street from that other four-story building that was approved last year for the same area. They’re pissed! Because you won’t be able to see Bishop Peak anymore if you’re standing right in front of this future building! I mean, they could walk one block down Foothill to the next block.

Poof! There’s Bishop!

It’s magic.

Hey NIMBYs: That’s what happens when you NIMBY a city’s development for more than three decades. It becomes stifled and desperate. You get “overbuilt” and “underparked” projects because California is so needy for housing that state laws pulled the rug out from under the discretion NIMBYs have been using to keep their town character the same since they moved here. ∆ The Shredder believes NIMBYs should be voted out of the town.

Smokin’ guitar!

Ace Frehley of KISS plays the Fremont

M

usic fans either love KISS or they’re wrong, and there would be no KISS without Paul Daniel “Ace” Frehley, who’s known to play custom special effects guitars, such as a Gibson Les Paul that emits smoke. KISS and Frehley understood from the start that rock ’n’ roll is a spectacle, and they wrote the book, playing in outlandish costumes under iconic face makeup.

Frehley developed his Spaceman or “Space Ace” persona during his KISS years (1973 to 1982, 1996 to 2002), and together the band was monstrously huge in the metal and glam rock scene, with levitating drum kits, pyrotechnics, blood spitting, fire breathing, and more. Yes, KISS is still together, but without Ace, they’re not the same.

Frehley’s successful solo career has been a lot less flashy. He called his band Frehley’s Comet, and he eventually signed to Megaforce Records, releasing the eponymous Frehley’s Comet in 1987.

The album’s mix of rock and pop metal propelled it to No. 43 on the Billboard 200.

While his solo albums haven’t reached the heights of his KISS years, they’ve been solid entries into his oeuvre, and 2016’s Origins, Vol. 1—a covers album with songs by The Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, and others—was very successful, reaching No. 23 on the Billboard 200 chart. There’s a new Frehley album rumored to be in the works.

LIVE MUSIC

Ace Frehley plays the Fremont Theater on Wednesday, Aug. 8 (8:30 p.m.; 16-and-older; $35 to $55 at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com). Don’t miss your chance to see this Rock and Roll Hall of Famer shred on guitar like no one else.

As he’s noted repeatedly, he’s never had a guitar lesson, doesn’t know how to read music, and his technique is unorthodox, yet he’s one of the most famous guitar players in the world.

I also hear he’s joining his former KISS bandmates in late October 2018 for the KISS Kruise VIII (thekisskruise.com), but when I last checked, the Oct. 31 through Nov. 5 cruise was sold out. Join the waiting list and dare to dream!

Also this week at Fremont, see metal act Y&T on Saturday, Aug. 4 (8 p.m.; all ages; $25 at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite. com). “Before Mötley Crüe, before RATT, even before there was a Metallica, Y&T was slogging away in sweaty rock clubs around America,” their band bio notes.

“When the band formed in the early 1970s, little did they know they would set the standard for hard rock bands that trailed. Many of the biggest acts of the ’80s became popular opening for headliners Y&T—and cut their teeth on the band, as evidenced by the Y&T mentions in tell-all books by acts such as Metallica and Mötley Crüe.”

Though born in France, the group members were born of gitanos parents— Spanish gypsies who fled Catalonia in the 1930s to escape the Spanish Civil War. Originally calling themselves Los Reyes (The Kings and Nicolas’ last name), the band brought rumba, flamenco, and salsa to audiences worldwide when they got their commercial start in 1973.

The band has always been a family affair, with brothers Nicolas and Andre Reyes teaming with cousins Jacques, Maurice, and Tonino Baliardo. Now the sons of core members Nicolas and Tonino have joined the band.

EIGHT-STRING THING The Charlie Hunter Trio, with Hunter playing jazz guitar and bass parts on seven- and eight-string guitars, plays The Siren on Aug. 5.

STARKEY from page 30

“Melding deep-heated flamenco, rumba, salsa, and pop to the tune of 20 million albums sold, the Grammy Awardwinning hit-makers behind ‘Bamboléo’ continue to celebrate in their very own, blistering tradition.

“Uniting the family Reyes and the family Baliardo, the band continues a tradition that has drawn famous fans such as Picasso, Cocteau, Dali, and Chaplin,” their bio reads.

Even if you think you’re unfamiliar with the band, their music has appeared in the animated film Sing as well as The Big Lebowski, Toy Story 3, and Glee.

Rasta, alt-jazz, and Latin twang Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents have two hot shows this week, starting with reggae acts Raging

Creating a beautiful scene

If you have any of Milford Zornes’ paintings, and are willing to share them with the public, the DANA Adobe Cultural Center would like to display the local artist’s work at its upcoming exhibit.

Zornes was one of the original members of the California Scene Painters movement from the 1930s through the 1960s, lived on the Central Coast for several years, and taught painting workshops in the Cambria area.

To have your Zornes painting featured in the show, please contact Shirley Horacek, president of the Nipomo Arts Commission, at bnshoracek@ gmail.com, attach a photo of your painting, and include your contact information.

Los Osos artist David Kreitzer explores water

L

os Osos artist David Kreitzer always likes a good challenge.

The way he sees it, having something to strive for in his work prevents his art from feeling massproduced. Time and time again, when the painter picks up his brush, he comes back to one particular subject matter: water.

“I’ve always loved painting water because it’s such a great challenge,” Kreitzer said. “It’s the one moving thing in nature. It’s almost unpaintable.”

To celebrate his 50th year—his golden anniversary—of painting professionally, a selection of Kreitzer’s aqua inspired watercolor and oil paintings are currently on display as the WaterWorks exhibit at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles.

Growing up, Kreitzer wanted to become a cartoonist. Then later, when Kreitzer was fresh out of art school, he pondered becoming a teacher rather than pursuing art, but instead he took a risk.

“I decided to go for broke and just be a painter,” Kreitzer said. “I didn’t want to go the rest of my life thinking I should have done it.”

He got some of his paintings into Maxwell Galleries in San Francisco right away and soon after his work started selling out. About 40 years ago, he relocated from the Bay Area to the Central Coast so he could be right in between the art hotspots of LA and San Francisco. The rest is history.

The contemporary American realist painter’s whimsical and soft touch lends itself both to everyday and fantastical scenes on the canvas.

Kreitzer often spends time at the Paso Robles Inn’s koi ponds, photographing the fish so he can paint them later in pieces like Two Head-On Koi, which shows a few of the inn’s newer koi fish that are steadily growing in size. He also paints other local spots, like the water at Atascadero Lake Park or the estuary in Los Osos.

“They’re buying a view that will never be fenced off,” Kreitzer said of his paintings. “That’s your view into another reality.”

For other pieces, Kreitzer finds his inspiration a little farther from home. After being commissioned to do posters for the Seattle Opera’s production of the German opera, The Ring of The Niberlungs, Kreitzer was

inspired to paint Blowing Bubbles Rhinemaidens, which depicts fierce yet beautiful mermaid-like creatures, also known as rhinemaidens, who guard the magic gold in the opera’s story from dwarves who live under the earth’s surface.

“It’s just classic sort of world history drama,” Kreitzer said. “It’s wonderful stuff. It’s a lot of symbolism on the surface. It’s just fun and colorful and crazy like Lord of the Rings or any other fairy tale or saga.”

Above all, Kreitzer hopes that people take away a moment of beauty and inner calm from looking at his work.

“I don’t believe art is a tool for societal change,” he said. “I think art has the purpose of healing, all of the arts are about healing. I’ve always tried to do paintings that have a meditative calm about them. Looking at the waves at the ocean, a calm lake, a rushing river; all of these things contribute to mental health and peace.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is wading in the waves at Avila Beach at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

very year, artist Kate Froman makes sure to plant some milkweed in her garden, that way all the local wannabe butterflies have a nice spot to rest and grow in.

“As vacant lots decrease, there are fewer spaces for caterpillars to turn into butterflies,” Froman said.

This summer Froman and her fellow artists in the Central Coast Craftmakers Association turned their focus to the elements and the destruction they leave in their wake: diminishing natural resources, wild fires, drought, and more in the Earth Fire Water art show, on display at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art from Aug. 3 to Sept. 30.

“There’s a wide interpretation, and I think earth and fire are on a lot of people’s mind’s right now,” Froman said.

Bob Nichols, show juror, art professor at Allan Hancock College, and one of the founding members of the association, said the show asks viewers to examine their own actions and how they impact the environment.

“This exhibit, based on a modification of the traditional concepts of earth, air, fire, and water calls upon us to reflect

on the considerable impact of climate variations and the vulnerabilities we face as we collectively migrate further into the countryside,” Nichols said in his juror’s statement. “The chosen pieces reflect artistic responses to these concepts. They call upon each of us to be attentive in our decision-making and thoughtful in our use of resources.”

While the Earth Fire Water show includes pieces made of leaves, yarn, ceramics, steel, paper, glass, copper, and zippers, Froman works with fibers in her artwork. She started sewing as a child and then progressed to making quilts as an adult, but ran into a problem.

“One can only have so many quilts, so one starts working smaller,” Froman said.

Over the years, Froman’s fiber pieces have progressed from being utilitarian to artistic in nature. Her silk piece, Butterfly Rest Stop, is suggestive of the colors and shapes of butterfly wings and serves as homage to her practice of making sure there’s some milkweed growing for caterpillars to become butterflies in.

While Froman’s piece speaks of growth and life, Rebecca Wamsley’s ceramic and steel sculpture, Aftermath, is reminiscent

Baranski) visit for emotional support, and consistently provide the wittiest lines in the entire film.

Lily James plays the young version of Donna, and does so beautifully while a bit unrealistically. Few of Streep’s mannerisms and only traces of her energy are adopted by James, making it hard to fully believe her as a young Donna. Despite this slight disconnect, James still proves a charismatic and free-spirited character who is easy to root for. Watching her meet Sophie’s three potential dads is amusing and often more lighthearted than the presentday scenes.

Though the musical numbers are lively, they feel overproduced and a bit sanitized. The songs don’t fit the scenes as snugly as they did in the original, bringing up the question of how many storylines can (or should) be developed from the music of one 1970s Swedish pop group. There was something especially disappointing about reused songs from the first film. These recycled tracks were some of the best in the sequel, but still fell short of their original performances.

Unfortunately, Mama Mia! Here We Go Again! does not re-create the original electricity of the first film, but rather provides a subtle warning for yet another largely nostalgia-driven, profit-seeking sequel. However, just because the film is unable to fully recapture the original magic does not mean it misses all the marks.

Even while the shortcomings are easily recognizable, this musical film still offers a fun watch and a worthy trip down memory lane for viewers. If you are a fan of the first, I wouldn’t discourage you from attending a local screening sporting some denim and a boa. However, I also wouldn’t advise you to walk in expecting to fall in love all over again. (114 min.)

MOVIES from page 40 series by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim.

Denzel Washington stars as vigilante Robert McCall, an unassuming man—and retired CIA black ops master—who metes out justice whenever he sees someone being exploited or oppressed. When he learns his old friend Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo) has been murdered, he’s determined to find out who did it and why, and bring them to account.

The film leaves open the possibility of yet another installment, and since the whole premise is based on a TV show and there’s never any shortage of bad guys out to exploit the vulnerable, more may be on the way, but the law of diminishing returns is already at play in this sequel. If you’ve never seen Washington and Fuqua’s first collaboration, Training Day, definitely watch it. It’s Fuqua’s best film and one of Washington’s rare appearances as a bad guy.

Everyone’s favorite family of superheroes is back in Incredibles 2—but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of normal life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again.

Pick

It’s been more than a decade since the Incredibles first burst onto the scene and delighted audiences with its unique nostalgia drenched take on what was then just an emerging powerhouse genre in contemporary cinema And while the film may be a shade darker than the first iteration, this new installment delivers on just about everything it promises and should leave families entertained until the next chapter arrives in theaters (which hopefully comes sooner than a decade and a half).

I also wanted to take a minute to commend Bird’s choice to leave cellphones out of the picture, allowing his film to flex its muscles without pocket-sized distractions. It truly speaks to the traditionalist bent of the series, which seems to draw from 1950s era super hero shows and comics, as much as even earlier, “Golden Age” science fiction classics. Bird gives audiences a glimpse of how his generation and those before him viewed the future, and while those dreams may be dated, they still come across as new, exciting, and utterly unique, and that’s pretty incredible.

For those unfamiliar, this show has the most rudimentary premise possible: Seinfeld picks out a cool vintage car, picks up a celebrity (usually a comedian), and drives to a coffee shop where they chat about show business and life. Rinse and repeat. It’s a little bit PHOTO COURTESY OF NETFLIX

Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park Ol Parker (Now is Good, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) directs returning and new cast members in the sequel to the popular 2008 ABBA-centric musical-turned-movie Mamma Mia! In the first film, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is a bride-to-be who invites three of her mother, Donna’s (Meryl Streep) old flames to her wedding in an attempt to discover who her real father is. The sequel switches off between a time before and after the original film, focusing on both Sophie’s new life attempting to carry on her late mother’s hotel business and her mother Donna’s young life around the time of her pregnancy.

Most of Sophie’s scenes are marked by her mother’s absence, whose presence is missed just as much by the audience as by the characters. She is in the process of planning a grand opening party for the remodeled Greek hotel her mother began, but of course, the party plans go slightly awry.

The episodes are super digestible—as short as 14 minutes.

With its barebones framework, Seinfeld’s delightful but admittedly snobbish brand of comedy has the space to thrive. He’s rich, he’s clever, he’s composed, he doesn’t seem to have a worry in the world—and he’s not going to apologize for it. It’s a sage arrogance, a “beenthere-done-that” attitude that makes Seinfeld compelling but also bristling.

This tone makes for interesting conversations, which is why Seinfeld’s banged out 10 seasons of cars, comedians, and coffee. Past seasons of the show were a mixed bag; some episodes were funny and insightful and some were just dull. The recently released 10 th season has some of the most compelling episodes to date.

In another episode, he and Ellen DeGeneres debate how much concern they should feel about the state of the world. “The world is such a scary place right now. It just overwhelms me with dread. Do you ever go to those places?” DeGeneres asks, to which Seinfeld responds: “No. My attitude is that each generation kind of gets this thing dumped in your lap to deal with.”

Some critics have panned Seinfeld for essentially embodying white privilege and not caring enough, or not doing enough satirical analysis of the pressing issues of our time. But that’s not who Seinfeld is, or ever was, as a comedian. He’s a pure observationist, finding humor in the simplest aspects of people and society. His passion for the art of comedy comes through intensely in the emotional final episode with Jerry Lewis, which marked Lewis’ last on-camera appearance before he died in 2017.

Whether you love him, don’t get him, or find him distasteful, Seinfeld is distinctly who he is. And it’s why Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee brings a lot of value to the TV landscape. (12, 14 to 23 min. episodes.) Δ —Peter Johnson

Arts MOVIES from page 41 It also has a winning star in Cruise, who strikes me as a weirdo off-screen but is an amazing actor and action star on-screen. As Hunt, he brings the right mix of confidence and vulnerability to the role. In this go-around, one of the big themes is Hunt’s moral code.

He’s supposed to be a remorseless operative employing utilitarianism in his decision-making process; in other words, complete the action that will have the best outcome for the most people. But Hunt can’t sacrifice the one for the many. He’s a killer with a heart.

After breaking action-film tradition by opening with a dream sequence about ex-wife Julia instead of the usual big action set-piece, we watch as Hunt and his team work to intercept black market plutonium, but when faced with Luther’s death or retrieving the nuclear bomb supplies, he picks Luther, meaning it’s Hunt’s fault that the plutonium might make its way into the hands of Rogue Nation villain Solomon Lane (Sean Harris).

Hunt’s choice also leads CIA handler Erica Sloan (Angela Bassett) to force Hunt and his team to work with CIA “Special Activities Operator” (read hit man) August Walker (Henry Cavill), who’s definitely not a team player. What follows is a series of flashy IMF operations complete with their patented rubber mask disguises and false narrative tricks, as well as a series of amazing action sequences.

The film manages to conjure up emotional elements as well, since Hunt must protect both Julia and Ilsa, and prove to the powers-thatbe, that saving both the one and the many is the real job of the IMF. It also culminates in the mother of all action finales. If you like this series, Fallout is a worthy successor. (147 min.)

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? The Palm A newcomer to big productions, Boots Riley directs Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out, Atlanta) as Cassius Green, a black man who picks up a telemarketing job while trying to make ends meet in an alternative present-day Oakland. Green promptly learns that he can make exponentially more sales by using his “white voice” over the phone, which quickly helps him rise up in the company and discover harrowing truths about big business.

Green is a relatable character—tired with his life of perceived mediocrity, he struggles to find meaning and desires to move up in the world.

In the beginning of his telemarketing career, he befriends a protest-hungry coworker Squeeze (Steven Yeun), who rallies the whole office together in an attempt to unionize. However, once Green shows promise and is promoted to power caller, the telemarketing A-team that is almost stuff of legend, he stops fighting the power and starts to become it.

This isn’t a film for casual moviegoers who are just looking for a way to pass the time before dinner. It’s conceptual, whacky, and challenges the viewers’ perceptions of the world both inside and outside the screen. However, if you’re hungry for original satire and don’t mind sticking with a film through some disturbing turns, Sorry to Bother You is a worthy choice.

IS IT OVER YET? Kayla (Elsie Fisher) finishes off the last week of her painfully awkward middle school career in Eighth Grade.

Robin, who craves stardom the most out of the group, views Slade’s arrival as an opportune moment. This could be the archenemy that finally boosts the Titans’ status from zeros to heroes. After all, even the best heroes are only as good as their villains, right?

In lieu of the massive identity crisis the DC live action films have been suffering from (minus Wonder Woman), it’s refreshing to see an animated adaptation of those same beloved characters thriving on the other side of the spectrum. Where Justice League —a bland, riskless Marvel wannabe full of glaring tonal shifts—failed, Teen Titans Go! To The Movies soars! Both films revolve around a team of heroes, but only one is clearly aware of its intentions from the get-go. Conceptual consistency aside, Titans is just flat-out funny, and I’d probably still recommend it regardless of cohesion. And when I say funny, I don’t mean light chuckle funny; I mean tears of laughter funny.

Justified by its overabundance of meta humor, commenting on both its source material and the superhero film industry at large, I’m happy to proclaim Titans as this year’s The Lego Batman Movie with John the Baptist level enthusiasm. Despite my Full Price approval however, I think it’s fair to say those who wait for the small screen won’t be missing out on too much (unless you’re like me and couldn’t possibly wait that long). On the other hand, there are certain nuances unique to a theatrical viewing. Audible commentary from the audience, for example, gave my screening an extra melodramatic kick. One child, who stopped to take a breather after running laps around the theater, boldly reacted to one of Slade’s lines.

“You’re nothing but a joke!” the villain tells Robin. The young sprinter instantly came to Robin’s defense. “No, Slade. YOU are the joke!”

THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm In this truth-is-stranger-than-fiction documentary directed by Tim Wardle, in 1980, three 19-year-old strangers discover they’re identical triplets separated at birth.

Their unlikely reunion leads to notoriety, but as they learn more about the circumstances of their separation, questions arise involving ethics and human nature.

Bobby Shafran heads off to community college and is surprised that everyone he meets greets him like an old friend, smiling, waving, asking him how his summer was. People keep calling him Eddy, and he soon discovers that he’s got a doppelganger. A friend of Eddy’s puts the two on the phone together, and they discover they’re both adopted and both have the same birthday. In short order, Bobby’s reunited with his brother, believing they were twins.

The feel-good story becomes even harder to believe after Bobby and Eddy’s story winds up in the news, and then a third brother, David, comes forward. The three are instant celebrities.

They wind up on talk shows, in papers and magazines, and people marvel at how similar they are even though different families raised them. Their speech patterns, mannerisms, even their preferred cigarettes are eerily similar. Even

more important, they’re delighted to reunite— long-lost brothers together again.

If that were the whole story, that’d be amazing and worthy of a documentary in and of itself, but as the brothers—and their respective parents—look deeper into the circumstances of their separation, things take a dark turn. Spoiler!

The triplets were part of a larger experiment about nature versus nurture, an experiment that has serious ethical flaws.

The researchers and subjects were all Jewish, and the subjects all came from the same New York-based Jewish adoption agency. “Nazi shit” is how one of the brothers describes these so-called experiments.

There’s been a fair amount of research on the effects of adoption itself, and books like Primal Wound talk about some of the psychological ramification of being separated from a mother at an early age. As an adoptee myself, I’d much rather be placed with a family that wants a child than left with a mother that doesn’t, but I’m pretty sure these various separated twins would have rather been adopted together than placed in different homes. To me, that’s the real tragedy of Three Identical Strangers. (96 min.)

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom) helms this documentary biopic about beloved cardigan-clad children’s TV host Fred Rogers.

It’s easy to dismiss Fred Rogers as “just” a children’s TV host, and a sappy, low-budget one at that, but this documentary reveals just how deeply he cared about children; how hard he worked at helping children through topical issues such as Robert Kennedy’s assassination, divorce, and war; and how seriously he took his role as host of positive children’s programming as foil to what he saw as bad role modeling and encouragement of humanity’s baser instincts in other kids’ programs.

What makes the film even more poignant is its depiction of Rogers at his lowest. Looking at our culture today, it’s clear his message didn’t prevail. Still, his message was a worthy one and remains so today. Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is a wonderful celebration of a wonderful man who touched countless lives and exemplified a life well lived.

Cooking’s in their blood Decades of restaurant love makes for a passionate plate at Farmstead Kitchen and Catering

T

here are three kinds of people in this delicious world: Those who farm or ranch, those who eat, and those who bridge the gap between the two.

Nancy and John McDevitt are the third kind: the servers of the season; the refillers of napkins; the braisers of the beef.

Without these fearless food connectors, we’d be left to fend for our own, and our world would we be a slightly less delectable place. Pull up a seat at their new Farmstead Kitchen and Catering in downtown Paso Robles, and you’ll get the idea.

You will come hungry. And you will be served.

What, exactly? Well, it’s hard to pin down: a mix of tried-and-true comfort and unexpected world flavors, a jolt of old and new. Each ephemeral menu centers on seasonal, local produce of the Central Coast area, East Coast delicacies, American favorites, and wines from around the globe.

These two have been in the restaurant industry for most of their lives, and it shows in their dedication (John’s got more than a few burn scars on his creased hands, and Nancy’s biceps are strong from carrying tiers of plates to hungry patrons).

After decades of throbbing feet, aching backs, and more headaches than you can imagine, they’re still at it (and pretty darn jolly, to boot).

Perhaps this is because restaurants have always been part of their story.

John, who serves as Farmstead executive chef, is a New Jersey boy who grew up on Long Beach Island. His early life was awash in fresh seafood: monkfish, crab, lobster. The seafood stew on the restaurant’s current summer menu is a testament to the chef’s seafaring memories. Imagine a bowl steaming with plump shellfish, tomato saffron broth, leeks, and fennel served with a warm hunk of herbed ciabatta.

Note: You’ll also find a chilled soup of the day—good news on those triple-digit Paso Robles afternoons.

“We use local seafood as well, but we definitely pull from our East Coast roots,” John says. “We’re not all fish, but there’s always fish on the menu. We also have a New York sirloin steak, and we do game meats as well. Right now we’re doing antelope striploin, quail, or elk sausage.

We always have game meat on the menu, but what we serve is constantly changing.”

The couple met and fell wildly in love on Long Beach Island, where Nancy spent her summers. John had returned from a stint in San Francisco, where his main mission in life had been chasing The

Grateful Dead.

“We met at my brother’s restaurant,” Nancy says. “I was a waitress and he was my busboy. It is a pretty cute story.”

Indeed. The couple eloped in Monterey back in 1997.

Then, they had no idea how illustrious their restaurant dreams would become.

John studied at the Restaurant School of Philadelphia, and went on to work with such renowned chefs as Robert Long of the Frenchtown Inn, and Bobby Trigg of the Ferry House.

A big break came knocking when John became sous chef for Restaurant Associates, located on the campus of Princeton University. After several years with RA, the corporate office took note of his strengths and moved him up to The Time Warner Building at Rockefeller Center in New York City. It was a hectic job: John was tasked with managing the executive dining rooms, and his creativity and business savvy shined.

In 2004, the couple changed gears and opened their first restaurant, High Street Grill, in Mount Holly, New Jersey.

Together, they ran it for about 10 years before selling in 2016.

By then, both John and Nancy had already begun following a tingly gut feeling. The feeling said that their next life would begin in California.

“We always knew we’d come back here,” Nancy says. “We didn’t come out here to search out another restaurant. We came out here to figure out what we wanted to do next.”

With dogs in tow, they drove crosscountry to find out. It was a two-week journey in the fall of 2012—one that still inspires them to keep going when the long nights and paperwork pile up.

Once settled on the Central Coast and looking toward the next chapter, John began Farmstead Catering while Nancy threw herself into her lifelong love of wine.

With more than a decade of experience in wine sales and distribution (plus a Certified Specialist of Wine designation under her belt), Nancy found that she was a natural working at local wineries like Still Waters Vineyards in Paso Robles.

Now, she runs her own wine tour company in addition to running the restaurant and ensuring that the wine list is always on point.

OLD AND NEW Farmstead Kitchen and Catering owners John and Nancy McDevitt have decades of restaurant experience under their belts, and it shows.

Coming from a wine-loving Italian family, she believes wine and food should not be mutually exclusive.

“I really love Paso’s food-friendly Rhone wines, that’s what in our cellar. Here, we sell Paso Robles and European wines, plus lots of different flights,” she says.

“Wine really is my life.”

Still, a restaurant in wine country was never part of the plan.

“The original plan was to get a house on the coast, and do a vacation rental,” John says. “We were supposed to be here for a few months after we bought the house, and we just never left.”

The chef says he’ll never forget the stunned silence on the line when he called his old restaurant staff back East and broke the news. Sometimes, you just need a change, and

DUCK DUCK OOH You’ll want to drag each piece of succulent pan rendered duck breast through its own cardamom cinnamon demi-glace juices.

this was their leap of faith to take.

The “Farmstead Catering” portion of the operation eventually took shape into an anchor restaurant once John tired of renting commercial kitchen space.

Panolivo had just come on the market, and it had all the bells and whistles both in front and back of house.

Although John still caters quite a bit, you can now fi nd him in his own massive restaurant kitchen, a dish towel draped across one shoulder, a beautiful duck breast simmering in a pan of citrusy juices.

The space actually features two kitchen areas, one with a roll-up door perfect for continuing the catering side of the biz, often seen at wine pick-up parties and local events. The revamped 40-seat dining room gleams with blue light in the evening, and the sunny 15-seat patio is usually filled with casual lunchtime diners noshing on Farmstead burgers laden with syrah caramelized onions or veggie pad thai. A private 15-seat room in the back is popular for rehearsal dinners and larger parties.

The doors opened in December 2017, and John and Nancy have yet to take a break.

Perhaps, one day, they’ll get that long, idle vacation they thought they wanted.

However, something tells me they’d be right back at the restaurant the moment they touched down in Paso Robles.

“John kind of dragged me back into the restaurant business for a second time, but I’m so glad he did,” Nancy says. “We stripped the place down, and we really rebuilt it in our own vision. I guess we had more energy than we thought.”

That’s an understatement.

“This is how we grew up and how we met,” Nancy says. “Restaurant work and restaurant life will forever be in our blood.” ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain doesn’t mind having a little wine in her bloodstream at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

H ayley’s P icks Fancy yourself a wine badass?

Sure, you might like wine, but do you really love it? Are your friends sick of hearing about subtle differences in minerality and flintiness? Annoyed with how quickly your friends or family members gulp down that precious, nuanced bottle you’ve been saving for that perfect moment? Well, this class may be for you. The Wine House recently announced the launch of the first and only fully approved resident Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) program in Paso Robles, which will begin offering internationally recognized courses and certifications for beginners, connoisseurs, and service professionals. It’s all kicking off in August at Broken Earth Winery in Paso Robles. Not sure what this all means, but totally into it? Well, the WSET is considered to be among the most prestigious wine industry qualifications in the world! Want in on this opportunity? The WSET Level 1 Introduction to Wine will be offered Aug. 27 to 28 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at Broken Earth Winery (full disclosure, this is a six-hour course that establishes a strong wine education basis, culminating with an exam for certification). The WSET Level 2 Award in Wine and Spirits dives deep into a broader world of wine through blind tasting, winemaking, growing, and a wide range of appellations; while the Level 3 Award in Wine and Spirits covers the major wine regions of the world in greater depth and includes more detailed study of viticulture. Who shall teach such an intimidating and downright insane course? Well, Monica Marin, of course.

She is a Master of Wine candidate with the Institutes of Masters of Wine, a certified educator of the WSET program, an accredited Bordeaux educator (CIVB Ecole du Vin), French Wine Scholar Instructor, Sherry Educator (Consejo Regulador Vinos de Jerez), and qualified in the Sensory Evaluation of Olive Oil (UC Davis). Monica has taught, and helped certify, hundreds of wine students across all levels of the WSET, as well as other wine education programs, across the U.S. and the world. In other words, she is a true wine badass. Want to be like her? Sign up and prepare to have your mind blown.

Broken Earth Winery is located at 5625 Highway 46 East, Paso Robles. Fore more information, go to brokenearthwinery.com. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain tastes Juicy Fruit gum in this here wine. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimeslo.com.

BASIS FOR THE PROPOSED RATE INCREASES The Proposed Rate Increases are necessary for the Garbage Service to continue to provide safe and reliable solid waste removal, transportation and disposal services to the citizens of California Valley CSD. The increases requested are due to increased operational costs. Several factors have contributed to these increased costs, including, but not limited to, the rising costs associated with the operation of the Garbage Service, increased costs associated with operation and fuel for vehicles, ongoing maintenance, increased labor costs, and increased costs associated with meeting more stringent State and Federal regulations.

ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO PROPOSED RATE INCREASE The District provides that revenue derived from rates should reasonably be expected to generate sufficient revenues to provide for Garbage compensation as calculated in accordance with the “City of San Luis Obispo Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates”. The Proposed Rate Increase Resolution, to be considered by the District Board of Directors on 7-13-2018, would authorize the District, without conducting a majority protest hearing, to adjust solid waste disposal rates annually based on findings: • That the requested increase is limited to the Garbage Service increased costs of providing services consistent with the City of San Luis Obispo’s Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates; and • Does not exceed the prior twelve (12) month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

PROTEST: Under Proposition 218, if you are the owner of record of a parcel or parcels directly liable for payment of the garbage bill, you may submit a written protest against the proposed changes presented in the notice.

Only one protest will be counted towards the majority protest per affected property. If written protests are filed by a majority of the affected owners, the proposed rate increase will not be imposed. Oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest.

Written protests regarding the proposed solid waste rate increase may be mailed to: CVCSD C/O SHIPSEY AND SEITZ INCORPORATED, ATTORNEY AT LAW 1066 PALM STREET SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93401 To be valid a protest must be in writing and received BEFORE the close of the public hearing on AUGUST 27, 2018.

If you have questions about the Proposed Rate Increase, please call the District at (805) 475-2211.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: STEVEN CHRISTOPHER ASLANIDIS CASE NUMBER: 18PR - 0215

.

NewTimesSLO com

LegaL Notices

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of STEVEN CHRISTOPHER ASLANIDIS A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed COURTNEY ASLANIDIS in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that COURTNEY ASLANIDIS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: OCTOBER 2, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What was your last major amazement? What do you predict will be the next one? Testify at freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I predict that August will be a Golden Age for you. That’s mostly very good. Golden opportunities will arise, and you’ll come into possession of lead that can be transmuted into gold. But it’s also important to be prudent about your dealings with gold. Consider the fable of the golden goose. The bird’s owner grew impatient because it laid only one gold egg per day; he foolishly slaughtered his prize animal to get all the gold immediately. That didn’t work out well. Or consider the fact that to the ancient Aztecs, the word teocuitlatl referred to gold, even though its literal translation was “excrement of the gods.” Moral of the story: If handled with care and integrity, gold can be a blessing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus socialite Stephen Tennant (1906-1987) was such an interesting luminary that three major novelists created fictional characters modeled after him. As a boy, when he was asked what he’d like to be when he grew up, he replied, “I want to be a great beauty.” I’d love to hear those words spill out of your mouth, Taurus. What? You say you’re already all grown up? I doubt it. In my opinion, you’ve still got a lot of stretching and expansion and transformation to accomplish during the coming decades. So yes: I hope you can find it in your wild heart to proclaim, “When I grow up, I want to be a great beauty.” (P.S. Your ability to become increasingly beautiful will be at a peak during the next 14 months.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Manage with bread and butter until God sends the honey,” advises a Moroccan proverb. Let’s analyze how this advice might apply to you. First thing I want to know is, have you been managing well with bread and butter? Have you refrained from whining about your simple provisions, resting content and grateful? If you haven’t, I doubt that any honey will arrive, ether from God or any other source. But if you have been celebrating your modest gifts, feeling free of greed and displeasure, then I expect at least some honey will show up soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t worry your beautiful head about praying to the gods of luck and fate. I’ll take care of that for you. Your job is to propitiate the gods of fluid discipline and hard but smart work. To win the favor of these divine helpers, act on the assumption that you now have the power and the right to ask for more of their assistance than you have before. Proceed with the understanding that they are willing to provide you with the stamina, persistence, and attention to detail you will need to accomplish your next breakthrough.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.” A character named Julia says that in Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited. I bring it to your attention as an inspiring irritant, as a prod to get you motivated. I hope it will mobilize you to rise up and refuse to allow your past and your future to press so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present. It’s a favorable time for you to fully claim the glory of being right here, right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m not an ascetic who believes all our valuable lessons emerge from suffering. Nor am I a popnihilist who sneers at pretty flowers, smiling children, and sunny days. On the contrary: I’m devoted to the hypothesis that life is usually at least 51 percent wonderful. But I dance the rain dance when there’s an emotional drought in my personal life, and I dance the pain dance when it’s time to deal with difficulties I’ve ignored. How about you, Virgo? I suspect that now is one of those times when you need to have compassionate heart-to-heart conversations with your fears, struggles, and aches.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you absolutely need orchids, sweet elixirs, dark chocolate, alluring new music, dances on soft

grass, sensual massages, nine hours of sleep per night, and a steady stream of soulful conversations? No. Not really. In the coming days, life will be a good ride for you even if you fail to procure those indulgences. But here are further questions and answers: Do you deserve the orchids, elixirs, and the rest? My answer is yes, definitely.

And would the arrival of these delights spur you to come up with imaginative solutions to your top two riddles?

I’m pretty sure it would. So I conclude this horoscope by recommending that you do indeed arrange to revel in your equivalent of the delights I named.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Don’t try to steer the river,” writes Deepak Chopra. Most of the time, I agree with that idea. It’s arrogant to think that we have the power to control the forces of nature or the flow of destiny or the song of creation. Our goal should be to get an intuitive read on the crazy-making miracle of life, and adapt ourselves ingeniously to its evershifting patterns and rhythms. But wait! Set aside everything I just said. An exception to the usual rule has arrived.

Sometimes, when your personal power is extra flexible and robust—like now, for you—you may indeed be able to steer the river a bit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Dear Astrologer: Recently I’ve been weirdly obsessed with wondering how to increase my levels of generosity and compassion. Not just because I know it’s the right thing to do, but also because I know it will make me healthy and honest and unflappable. Do you have any sage advice? -Ambitious Sagittarius.” Dear Ambitious: I’ve noticed that many Sagittarians are feeling an unprecedented curiosity about how to enhance their lives by boosting the benevolence they express. Here’s a tip from astrologer Chani Nicholas: “Source your sense of self from your integrity in every interaction.” Here’s another tip from Anais Nin: “The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Time does not necessarily heal all wounds.

If you wait around passively, hoping that the mere passage of months will magically fix your twists and smooth out your tweaks, you’re shirking your responsibility. The truth is, you need to be fully engaged in the process. You’ve got to feel deeply and think hard about how to diminish your pain, and then take practical action when your wisdom shows you what will actually work. Now is an excellent time to upgrade your commitment to this sacred quest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The questions you’ve been asking aren’t bad or wrong. But they’re not exactly relevant or helpful, either. That’s why the answers you’ve been receiving aren’t of maximum use. Try these questions instead. 1. What experience or information would you need to heal your divided sense of loyalty? 2. How can you attract an influence that would motivate you to make changes you can’t quite accomplish under your own power? 3. Can you ignore or even dismiss the 95 percent of your fear that’s imaginary so you’ll be able to focus on the five percent that’s truly worth meditating on? 4. If I assured you that you have the intelligence to beautify an ugly part of your world, how would you begin?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A scuffle you’ve been waging turns out to be the wrong scuffle. It has distracted you from giving your full attention to a more winnable and worthwhile tussle. My advice? Don’t waste energy feeling remorse about the energy you’ve wasted. In fact, be grateful for the training you’ve received. The skills you’ve been honing while wrestling with the misleading complication will serve you well when you switch your focus to the more important issue. So are you ready to shift gears? Start mobilizing your crusade to engage with the more winnable and worthwhile tussle. ∆
