Local campaign war chests top $1.5 million

I

f you are looking to get elected to office in SLO County this June, it’s going to cost you. A lot.

Recently released campaign finance reports showed that candidates in races for county-level offices in the June 5 primary raised a combined total of more than $1.5 million in the first four months of 2018.

That amount includes cash donations, loans, and non-monetary contributions to campaigns for county assessor, district attorney, county sheriff, two county supervisor races, and seven local judicial races.

The combined war chests of the various 2018 campaigns dwarfed those raised in the first months of the 2014 primary elections, when many of those same county offices were last up for grabs, by more than $1.2 million, an increase of about 80 percent.

The race for SLO County 4th District supervisor tops the list, with candidates Lynn Compton and Jimmy Paulding raising a combined total of $398,944 so far in 2018.

The two candidates running for SLO County Sheriff reported $381,444 between their two campaigns. In 2014, incumbent Sheriff Ian Parkinson ran unopposed for re-election and raised and spent less than $1,000. Parkinson’s campaign raised $253,965 in 2018 thus far.

The bulk of that amount came from large donations made after March 16, when the SLO

Tribune released video footage of the death of SLO County Jail inmate Andrew Holland.

Parkinson’s opponent, Greg Clayton, raised $127,479 in campaign funds. Clayton received a $25,000 donation from Holland’s father, Carty, in February, and another $10,000 from the Holland Family Alliance for Humane Mental Health and Correctional Reform that same month.

In the race for SLO County District Attorney, incumbent Dan Dow and challenger Judge Mike Cummins raised a combined total of $307,248 since January, more than three times what was raised in the same reporting period in 2014, when the DA’s race had three candidates.

SLO County Democratic Party Chair Rosemary Wrenn said the large amounts of money raised by the campaigns were possibly the result of a growing partisan divide at the local and national levels.

“There’s been such a polarization of opinions, and each side has been energized,” she said.

SLO County Republican Chair Randall Jordan pointed to the involvement of the SLO County Progressives as one reason why the county races were getting more contentious and expensive.

“Unfortunately for candidates on both sides it means they have to get out and raise money to keep up with the fervor of the [SLO Progressives],” Jordan said. “It’s being stepped

authorities’ communication with federal immigration agents—following an emotional four-hour discussion.

Dozens of local residents—farmers, doctors, accountants, high school teachers and students, law enforcement retirees, activists, and even a gubernatorial candidate—voiced diverse opinions about the law and whether the city should join a burgeoning fight against it.

At a previous meeting on April 17, a majority of public speakers demanded that the city lock arms with places like Orange County and Newport Beach that have signed onto a federal lawsuit challenging SB 54. The City Council continued the hearing to May 1.

More residents showed up to the second meeting. Several immigrants, and a few undocumented youth enrolled in DACA (Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals), asked that the city support the immigrant community by supporting SB 54.

“Repealing SB 54 will interfere with our thriving town and its economy,” said a DACA student at Paso Robles High School.

“Immigrants who work in this community will be scared to take their children to school because they don’t know if they’ll come back. ...

Immigrants are people, too, who have hearts.”

Other residents backing SB 54 felt that the debate over the law pointed to underlying racial discrimination in the community.

“I will tell you that the experience of many, but not all, of minority children in the North County is not of inclusion but of exclusion, racism and at times pain,” said a Paso mother of a Latina daughter who identified herself as a licensed psychologist. “This is not theoretical.

This is something that local clinicians and human services providers see and hear on a daily basis.”

Those opposed to SB 54 argued that their concern wasn’t about immigrants generally, but immigrants who have committed crimes.

“We’re protecting criminals. It’s ridiculous,” one speaker said. “People have suffered numerous crimes from people who have come into this country illegally and we’re protecting them. I don’t understand that.”

After the public comment, the City Council decided not to take an official stance on the law, other than directing incoming Police Chief Ty Lewis to draft a letter to the state outlining its “flaws.” The City Council didn’t discuss in detail what it thought the flaws were. Lewis stated that SB 54 didn’t have a “significant effect” on the department and recommended the city stay neutral.

“Anything that lets a criminal go and doesn’t protect the citizens has some issue,” Councilmember John Hamon said. “People who are not going to be here to make Paso Robles better need to be held accountable somehow when they fail that.”

Expressing a similar sentiment, Councilmember Jim Reed felt the council should take a strong position against the law and “be involved in the discussion.”

“Let’s grab the bull by the horns and fix it,” Reed said. “Let’s do something about these stupid idiotic immigration laws.”

Mayor Steve Martin and Councilmembers Fred Strong and Steve Gregory were opposed to using city resources to fight SB 54.

Why was Professor Brown’s sentence about public health, highlighted below, deleted?

Unsafe, Dirty and Unnecessary Ellie Ripley’s Letter of 12-21-17 is filled with misleading and inaccurate information about the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant.

I wish to correct her most glaring factual errors.

First, Ripley says, “There are no dirty emissions released into the air that can spread freely into the atmosphere.” In reality, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission allows all commercial nuclear power plants to routinely release radioactive gases and liquids.

And, a peer-reviewed study by renowned radiation chemist Dr. Christopher Busby found a 28 percent increase in infant mortality rates in the zip codes near the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.

Second, Ripley claims there are no safety issues at the plant. In 2013, the NRC identified Diablo Canyon Unit 1 as “the third most embrittled reactor in the United States.” This means it’s less likely to be able to handle the stress of a sudden shock, such as the rapid water cooling of the reactor in an emergency. A Fukushima-like earthquake-tsunami could cause a core meltdown.

Ripley characterizes closing Diablo Canyon as “environmental hypocrisy.” In fact, Diablo’s antiquated cooling system sucks in 2.5 billion gallons of water daily and discharges it back into the ocean, killing 1.5 billion fish annually. THAT’S environmental hypocrisy!

Finally, she claims renewables will not be ready by 2025 to replace Diablo’s lost power. PG&E affirms it can replace Diablo Canyon with 100 percent renewable energy by then.

Jerry B. Brown, Ph.D., Director, Safe Energy Project (www.safeenergyproject.org), World Business Academy What is it about nuclear power and health risks that they want to keep from the public?

We urge every resident who would like a copy of the published, peer reviewed findings

by Professor Busby detailing documented infant mortality as a result of Diablo Canyon’s operation to email info@worldbusiness.org .

Fracking initiative gets 20,000 signatures

A conga line marched a box of voter signatures into the San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder’s Office on May 1.

After almost nine weeks of work, the Coalition to Protect San Luis Obispo County had collected more than 20,000 signatures on its initiative to ban fracking and new oil wells in the county—but allow current oil operations to continue as they are.

“We used the opportunity to celebrate a little camaraderie,” Coalition Coordinator Doug Timewell said. “I think we could have done a lot more. You know we got a late start because we wanted to make sure the wording of the initiative was perfect.”

Timewell said the campaign really built momentum over time, starting small and ending with more than 320 volunteers collecting signatures. To qualify for the November ballot, the clerk-recorder’s office needs to verify that at least 8,500 of those (or 10 percent of the more than 85,000 residents who voted in the 2014 governor’s race) signatures are from eligible SLO County residents.

“The next step in the campaign is really education,” Timewell said, adding that it will focus on some of the issues that exist in the Arroyo Grande oil field. “The biggest issue is the projected growth and the expansion into hundreds of more acres for their reinjection wells outside of their existing aquifer.”

The oil field’s current operator, Sentinel Peak Resources, inherited an application that Freeport McMoRan (its past operator) had filed with the Environmental Protection Agency that would enable it to continue current operations and drill the remaining 31 oil wells of a 95-well project approved in 2005. In 2014, the California Department of Conservation discovered that between 70 and 80 of Freeport’s reinjection wells (as well as 50,000 other wells in the state) were injecting wastewater from oil operations into a portion of the aquifer that wasn’t exempt from the Clean Water Act. Sentinel Peak Resources spokesperson Christine Halley said the company is awaiting the EPA’s decision on whether to exempt that portion of the aquifer from the Clean Water Act. She added that the oil company doesn’t have current plans to pursue the next phase of drilling that Freeport McMoRan had proposed to the county—450 new oil wells, 100 of which would have been replacement wells.

“That is not an active application right now,” Halley said. “To frame this as if there’s some application for hundreds of wells circulating with the county, is not true.”

Halley said that if the initiative were to pass in November, the way it’s worded would affect the oil field’s current operations. Over an oil well’s natural life span, the production declines over time, and in order for an oil field to continue producing, those wells need to be replaced, she said.

“It’s a rhythmic cycle of well replacement and new well drilling,” Halley said. “No matter how they think it’s worded, the

SLO County Jail can now forcibly medicate some mentally ill inmates The SLO County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on May 1 to allow the SLO County Jail to provide medication to inmates found mentally incompetent to stand trial, even if those inmates refuse the medication.

Jail officials believe that the measure will help prevent mentally ill inmates’ conditions from worsening while they wait for transfer to state hospitals to restore their competency.

The new policy would still require a court to find that an inmate is mentally incompetent, meaning they are not capable of understanding or participating in their own defense, and are not capable of giving their informed consent to be medicated. In addition, the medications must be prescribed by a psychiatrist and administered by authorized medical personnel.

When an inmate is found incompetent to stand trial, they are supposed to be transferred to either the county’s psychiatric unit or a state hospital, depending on their crime. But a lack of available beds at the state hospitals often leaves inmates waiting for months in the jail for a transfer. Prior to the board’s vote, the SLO County Jail could not provide medication to inmates awaiting transfer who refused to take medication.

“Our hands have been tied in treating these patients because all we can do is wait for them to get a bed, and it’s been taking a long time, and they deteriorate while they’re in jail,” SLO County Jail Chief Medical Officer Christy Mulkerin said.

Concerns over lengthy waits for inmates found incompetent to stand trial surfaced after the Jan. 22, 2017, death of Andrew Holland, a schizophrenic inmate who had been waiting for a transfer to the county’s psychiatric unit for 12 days when he collapsed shortly after being strapped into a restraint chair for 46 hours. Holland’s death lead to a $5 million settlement from the county and promises by both the Board of Supervisors and SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson to reform services and treatment for the mentally ill at the jail, which is currently under FBI investigation for possible civil rights violations.

While Mulkerin said the county’s psychiatric facility has since been taking jail transfers “very quickly,” the issues with transfers to state hospitals remains.

A county staff report estimated that the jail typically houses between eight and 10 inmates awaiting transfer to a state hospital, with at least one currently waiting as long as 100 days.

Mulkerin said the board’s vote is also a step toward implementing a program that would allow inmates to get treatment to restore them to competency within the SLO County Jail. In order for that program to work, the jail would need to provide treatment space and develop an agreement with the California Department of State Hospitals.

Paso negotiating with state over former youth prison

The city of Paso Robles is negotiating with the state to acquire property with a shuttered juvenile prison, property it hopes to transform into a multi-use campus with homeless services and other projects.

Public Works Director Dick McKinley confirmed that the city and state are in active talks on a sale of the Estrella Juvenile Correctional Facility, and said Paso is the only agency interested in the 137 acres on Airport Boulevard housing roughly 60 buildings and dormitories.

“This has been a long-term goal for the city,” McKinley told New Times. “What we want to do is get it to stop being an eyesore and have a productive use for the community.”

The state closed the Estrella Juvenile Correctional Facility in 2008, and it’s been in a “warm shutdown” since— meaning it’s inactive but regularly maintained and supervised by the state.

The Department of General Services (DGS) recently designated the facility a surplus asset and, after no state agency found a use for it, the property is “now being offered to local agencies,” according to the DGS. A sale to Paso could pave the way for a vision to provide a transitional homeless shelter, farmworker housing, sports facilities, and other community uses on the property.

Cal Fire plans to retain 23 acres at the north end of the lot where it currently operates a substation.

McKinley didn’t say how close the two parties were to a sale or what the price for the land might be.

“We’re still talking about that,” he said.

“It won’t be zero.”

DGS spokesman Michael Liang told New Times the department is undergoing an appraisal to determine the “fair market value” of the site. He said that process would likely take a few months.

On May 1, the Paso City Council signed off on a plan to submit bids to the DGS for the surplus tools and equipment inside the structures on the property. McKinley said there are some useful items including medical equipment, like gurneys, and tools and parts specific to the facility.

If the city and state don’t reach an agreement on the sale, the DGS would offer the land to private developers next, Liang said.

Yiannopoulos’ Cal Poly return sparks alternative student events

Cal Poly’s University Union is usually buzzing with students weekdays, but April 26 was the exception. It was the second time that Cal Poly Republicans hosted controversial “alt-right” activist Milo Yiannopoulos.

The Cal Poly Republicans and Cal Poly’s Turning Point USA chapter hosted a “fake news panel” in the Mott Athletic Center (across from the University Union), which featured Yiannopoulos and YouTube personalities Austen Fletcher and Carl Benjamin.

Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong called for civility ahead of the event, inviting students to an alternative event at Poly Canyon Village that provided students with food and entertainment.

When Yiannopoulos visited the campus early last year during his “Dangerous Faggot” college tour, the university heightened security to keep the peace.

The $55,400 bill included SLO city police support, California State University police officers, and Department of Correction officers in addition to Poly’s campus police. This year the university gated off the Mott Athletic Center, and Cal Poly police, officers from other California State Universities, and a SWAT team were present.

But the turnout opposing the event was low compared to the protesters who swarmed last year’s event. A handful of students quietly held signs in protest there. Members from the San Luis Obispo chapter of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) played a hand drum, tambourine, and other instruments.

Sarah Brotzel a senior liberal studies major, was sitting with her friend in the University Union in protest of the fake news panel. She said the panel should have been canceled, and creating the alternative event didn’t encourage students to express their viewpoints.

“It’s in Poly Canyon Village, which is the complete opposite side of campus, which is a safer space, but the message [of the event] could be taken as, ‘Instead of being at the event or being against the event, be a little more complacent and do something fun,’” Brotzel said. “I’m just trying to be here for people who are either afraid or maybe hesitant to be here.” Δ —Karen Garcia

Trimming down Arroyo Grande mulls tough decisions, including staff cuts, to make up expected budget gap

J

ohn Mershon has been working on and off for the Arroyo Grande Police Department in various capacities since the late 1970s. Currently, he works as the department’s full-time property and evidence technician. On April 24, the 68-year-old Mershon stood before the dais at an Arroyo Grande City Council meeting and asked its members not to get rid of his job.

“I’ve never had a day that I didn’t want to work here,” he told the council. “I love my job. … I don’t want to leave.”

Mershon’s job is one of a handful of positions potentially on the chopping block as the city seeks to close an anticipated $900,000 gap in its next twoyear budget. As part of a larger package of measures to close that gap, county staff suggested eliminating as many as nine full- and part-time positions from three departments, including the police, which could save an estimated $450,000.

While cutting staff may save the city money, city officials acknowledged that it would also result in very real impacts to some city services.

“We are saying things we’ve never had to say before,” City Manager Jim Bergman told the council. “If the ultimate goal is to get us sustainable … that is where we have to go … and it’s a difficult place to go.”

At the city’s Community Development

Department, staff suggested eliminating the associate planner and planning technician positions and replacing them with a full-time assistant planner position, as well as dropping a part-time planning intern position and moving to all-volunteer intern positions. A city staff report also suggested removing the department’s administrative secretary position and reclassifying an existing senior office assistant position to a fulltime permit technician position.

The staff report noted that getting rid of those positions would shift more work onto other planning staff and result in delays to the East Grand Avenue Master Plan, the Halcyon Road Complete Streets Plan, and other long-term initiatives. City staff also suggested closing City Hall to walk-in customers one day a week and shortening counter hours.

In the city’s Public Works Department, jobs up for possible elimination include a currently vacant part-time associate engineer intern position, as well as three part-time parks maintenance workers and another part-time street maintenance worker. Those cuts would result in a 30 percent reduction to the mowing, trash pick-up, and maintenance at the city’s parks, picnic areas, and other facilities rented to the public.

All hands on deck Bill to fund Diablo worker retention program is critical for decommission, PG&E and state reps say

S

acramento native Garrick Worrell accepted his first job out of college in 2016 with PG&E as a systems engineer at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant.

Then, just two weeks before his start date, PG&E announced a bombshell decision that would leave him and the roughly 1,500 other employees at the plant in a predicament: Diablo was shutting down. Not right away, but in nine years, to provide transition time for the company, California, and SLO County to chart a path forward that minimized the various impacts of closing the state’s last nuclear power plant.

While many are preparing for a future without Diablo Canyon, until that closure date of 2024-25, the plant will need to continue pumping its full load of power onto the electricity grid—which means PG&E has to find a way to retain most of its highly skilled operators and engineers.

“It takes a lot of skilled workforce to operate a nuclear plant,” Worrell, 23, told New Times. “Attracting a team to want to stay at a nuclear plant that’s going to close is always a challenge.”

PG&E and its labor groups developed a plan to keep Diablo running safely.

The company decided to offer all plant employees 25 percent bonuses (of base

salary) for each year that they stayed on until 2020. When that first phase expired, it’d make the same offer to the remaining workers for the period of 2020 to 2023.

PG&E officials said the amount was based on average industry wages and a calculation of what it’d take to beat offers from other companies.

Worrell accepted the deal, as did 86 percent of Diablo’s International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers members, according to PG&E. Then in January, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the state agency that regulates utilities, decided that the bonuses—which totaled $352 million and would be charged to ratepayers—were too generous. The CPUC instead approved funding to allow PG&E to give 15 percent bonuses.

“While there is certainly ratepayer benefit from Diablo Canyon being operated in a safe and reliable manner until its retirement, PG&E has failed to show that the amount of ratepayer dollars requested is necessary or reasonable,” the CPUC’s decision read. “PG&E should not be making promises to its employees that it does not know it can keep.”

The CPUC’s decision has PG&E and local lawmakers anxious about an early

plant shutdown, since the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission stipulates minimum staffing levels to operate a nuclear power plant. According to decommissioning documents, 60 percent of Diablo Canyon’s workforce is eligible for either full retirement or retirement with partial benefits before 2024. The company is expecting pre-closure retirements but says it needs more time to train younger employees to take the reins during Diablo’s golden years.

“Many of PG&E’s most experienced employees are retirement eligible and could leave PG&E immediately without financial penalty,” PG&E’s senior counsel William Manheim told the CPUC during its proceedings. “[The bonuses] are needed to retain the skilled workforce so we can transfer knowledge from the more tenured to the newly hired. ... We can manage 14 percent attrition of our skilled workers, but numbers greater than that present a serious challenge.”

A state bill co-authored by SLO County representatives Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) and Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-SLO) aims to restore the full funding for the Diablo employee retention program. Senate Bill 1090 would also preserve an $85 million settlement for SLO County and its schools and cities to mitigate local economic impacts.

Cunningham told New Times that his bill would increase the average PG&E customer bill by 0.2 percent, adding 18 cents per month.

Cunningham said that minor increase would pale in comparison to PG&E’s rate hikes if

Diablo had to shut down early.

“We could be in a situation where the grid is short power,” he said. “When the grid is short power, PG&E has no choice but buy power on the spot market, and they’re basically buying natural gas out of state. If we were in an early closure situation, the energy prices for the customers are just going to skyrocket.”

SB 1090 recently passed through the Senate Energy, Utilities, and Communications Committee and the Environmental Quality Committee.

It must now pass the Appropriations Committee before it’s introduced on the Senate floor. If passed by the Senate, the process starts in the Assembly.

“I’m optimistic, but we have a long row to hoe,” Cunningham said.

Some, including the CPUC, have suggested that PG&E shareholders, not ratepayers, could fund the Diablo worker bonuses and community mitigation package. But Cunningham said the state may not have the authority to make PG&E shareholders foot the bill.

“If we passed a law that forced PG&E shareholders to pay for this, they have grounds to file a constitutional takings lawsuit, and it’d probably be tied up in court and litigated up to possibly the Supreme Court, which would take three to four years of litigation—easily,” Cunningham said. “Our community wouldn’t get a dime in the meantime.” ∆ Staff Writer Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com

That Pacific view The proposed Hearst San Simeon State Park campground is just the start of developing low-cost accommodations on the coast

BY CAMILLIA LANHAM • PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM

NEW BIRTHPLACE In the last three years, the beach at Arroyo del Corral Creek has morphed into a birthing spot for elephant seals. State Parks is proposing a campground less than 100 yards from the sand.

T

he smell came first: wind-borne wafts of rotting fish rising up from the ocean.

Then, the sound: barks ricocheting off the salty bluffs.

Finally, they’re within sight: a handful of heads poking out of Arroyo del Corral Creek. Overstuffed marine mammals lining the beach, silvery-bronze skin shining in the noonday sun.

All that separates the odd wandering elephant seal from the stupidity of a selfie-taking human are two thin lines of metal above 4-foot tall hog wire.

“That’s one of the biggest challenges,” said Dan Falat, San Luis Obispo Coast District superintendent for the California Department of Parks and Recreation. “How do we protect the people from the park and the park from the people.”

Facing the coast with his hands in his pocket, he turned to look at what could someday be a campground. A few hundred meters south of what was once the Piedras Blancas Motel, envisions bathrooms, tents, RVs, and cabins surrounded by coyote brush, coffee berries, and oak and cypress trees. Its proximity to the elephant seals on the beach is surprising.

“To be able to have your coffee and walk out here,” Falat said. “It’s very unusual to be able to have this proximity and be able to watch them for hours.”

It would be one of the first new campgrounds developed on the North SLO County coast in decades. The Hearst San Simeon State Park proposal also includes a new café, refurbished motel rooms, much-needed restrooms at the elephant seal overlook at Piedras Blancas Point, and an approximately 4-mile section of the California Coastal Trail. It would run from north of the motel to the elephant seal overlook. The campground and trail need to

jump through all the same SLO County and California Coastal Commission planning hoops that a private home would, taking into consideration viewshed impacts to Highway 1 drivers, setbacks for bluff erosion (estimated at 1 foot per year), and mitigation for habitat disturbance. The application is slated to go before the SLO County Planning Commission later this year.

Even with planning hiccups, the Coastal Commission has an incentive to see the development through to completion. This campground could help fulfill a mandate laid out in the Coastal Act, which created and guides the governing body. It would provide lower-cost overnight accommodations on a coastline, which more and more luxury hotels seem to dominate.

“It’s an opportunity for folks to visit a stretch of California that a family of four may not be able to do otherwise,” Falat said. “It is a low-cost option for folks to get out and camp.”

According to a June 2017 California Coastal Conservancy presentation to the commission, 26 percent of the hotels/ motels and RV/campsites within 1 mile of the ocean cost less than $112 a night.

A 2017 bill by state Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher (D-San Diego) directs the Coastal Commission to work with the California Coastal Conservancy and State Parks to develop more lowercost lodging on the coast. And a 2017 bill by state Sen. Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) could help pay for some of that.

His bill put a $4 billon parks and water bond measure on the June ballot. If Proposition 68 passes, it would—among other things—allocate $30 million to State Parks and $30 million to the Coastal Conservancy to help fund lowercost visitor-serving projects.

That money could help develop projects

such as the campground and cabins proposed near Piedras Blancas, which Falat said can be cost prohibitive due to cost of land and availability, especially on the coast.

“On the California Coast, there’s not a whole lot of properties left or available,” Falat said. “It’s very impacted.”

Gifted resource

At the head of what will someday be the coastline’s newest ADA accessible trail complete with boardwalks and bridges, a white egret floats above the cliffs. Lupine brushes purple on the green expanse between pavement and ocean, between the trailhead and Piedras Blancas Motel, 2 miles south.

A river of yellow primrose paints the shadow of where Highway 1 stood until 2017. Highway 1 realignment moved it a hundred yards farther inland due to impending bluff erosion. The Pacific Coast’s scenic byway splits private land from public. East of it is Hearst Corporation ranchland, while the west belongs to State Parks. Conservation efforts, led by the Hearst Corporation, mean this view should stay this way— virtually undeveloped—in perpetuity.

“Piedras Blancas was a little private island, so that stretch of land where we have the currently proposed campground is the only place where development is allowed,” Falat said. “All of the Hearst properties fall under conservation easements, which do not allow for development.”

Hearst San Simeon State Park spans 18 miles of coastline, starting in Cambria and expanding north to San Carpoforo Creek.

There are two sections of that contiguous coastline west of Highway 1 that aren’t part of the park: a private property still owned by the Hearst Corporation north of William Randolph Hearst Memorial Beach and the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse

property, which belongs to the federal Bureau of Land Management. Falat said that State Parks works closely with both to manage the resources in tandem, because native plants and animals don’t abide by boundary lines. “[The Hearst Corporation has] been our primary partner on this stretch of coast,” Falat said. “We interact with them almost daily in some shape or form … because we’re sharing the same spaces, and they’ve been a good partner.”

Since the 1950s, the park has slowly morphed into what it is now. Almost none of Hearst San Simeon State Park would be possible without families like the Hearsts, the Junges, and the Molinaris—all of whom once owned ranch land that became part of the park. In 2006-07, State Parks was one of the beneficiaries of what is arguably the biggest conservation land deal in state history. Approximately 82,000 acres of Hearst Ranch property was put under conservation easement, and 1,000-plus acres were eventually deeded over to State Parks with development restricted to the Coastal Trail.

California Coastal Conservancy documents from 2004 show that the state would pay roughly $95 million for the deal, appraised at $110 million. State tax credits paid for $15 million. The Conservancy and Wildlife Conservation Board footed most of the bill with State Parks paying $3 million and Caltrans giving $23 million (for Highway 1 realignment purposes).

Tim Duff, a project manager for the Coastal Conservancy, said the state agency purchased the 35-acre hotel property separately for between $3 million and $4 million.

“We purchased that and transferred it to State Parks,” Duff said. “We initially were looking at redeveloping the motel.

We looked at developing it as a lower-cost overnight accommodation.”

Or a youth hostel, but Duff said one of buildings had to be demolished, so plans changed. Instead, State Parks proposed 14 cabins, 29 drive-in campsites, and 10 hike-in/bike-in campsites. A second phase of the plan could include refurbished, lower-cost motel rooms in what’s left of the old hotel.

The Coastal Conservancy granted $40,000 to State Parks to help them through the planning process for the trail, campground, restrooms, and cabins.

That process is ongoing. Caltrans agreed to partially fund the $2 million cost to build the northern portion of the trail.

But the estimated $1 million cost for the campground and cabins isn’t funded yet.

“There haven’t been new campgrounds developed in decades, probably, and that’s due to money,” Duff said.

Affordable accommodations

Faded concrete that’s starting to crack runs from the Piedras Blancas Motel parking lot to what is now a State Park residence half-encircled by scraggly cypress trees. Where the pavement ends is close to where tents might get staked and RVs could motor out awnings. Cabins would populate the low grass between the cypress and the edge of the trees.

Although this could be one of the first campgrounds on the North Coast since the 1980s, there is one other campground in in the works for the SLO coastline: The Harbor Terrace Development Project in Avila Beach. With the California Coastal Development permit already in place, Port San Luis Harbor District commissioners approved a 50-year lease with Red Tail Acquisitions for the Avila Beach Road property in February. Harbor

Terrace will have 57 RV sites, 53 walk-in and drive-in tent camping sites, and 51 cabins at a range of price points.

The Coastal Conservancy granted the project $450,000 for the planning and permitting process, which can be expensive and extensive in the coastal zone. The Avila project has been in the works since 1977 and falls under California Coastal Commission jurisdiction.

“Developers are wary of getting a project designed and permitted within the coastal zone,” Duff said. “So we said we would help with the design and permitting process.”

Duff said developers often don’t want to invest money in a project that isn’t worth the economic risk. It can be costly for little reward if it’s providing lowercost accommodations or doesn’t get permitted altogether. The recent push by state legislators should help make things a little easier, Duff said. It would make more funding available to build facilities, and one of the mandates in Assemblymember Fletcher’s low-cost coastal accommodations bill is for the commission, the conservancy, and State Parks to work together to develop them.

“State Parks has the land, they have the knowledge and the experience in building and operating campgrounds. The Coastal Commission is the regulatory agency … . Our role is as a funder,” Duff said.

“It’s kind of tied into environmental or economic justice, providing a fair economic opportunity for lower-income people to come and enjoy the coast overnight.”

State Parks owns almost a third of the California coast, more or less (it depends on what agency you ask). Duff said that agency is a “major partner” in developing the facilities because the cost of land on the coast is “probably the biggest constraint.” The conservancy is working on a statewide plan, due out this fall, which Duff said would identify opportunities for developing new campgrounds and lower-cost accommodations up and down the coast.

“It could mean all sorts of things: new and expanded campgrounds, youth hostels, buy a roadside motel and converting it,” he said. “And if the park bond passes, we’ll have some money.”

The real focus of the bill that put the bond measure—Proposition 68— on the June primary ballot is “social equity, including access to parks for all Californians and targeting water and flood control investments in areas with the most unmet needs,” according to an October 2017 press release from state Sen. de León’s office. If it passes, the measure allocates $1.6 billion for water, $1.3 billion for parks, and $1.5 billion

for natural resource conservation. About $218 million of that would go to repair and improve state parks.

“Clean and reliable water resources, including secure flood control systems, and access to parks and recreational space are vital to our economy and well-being as a state,” de León said in the release.

“This bond allows us to invest in critical priorities that have been neglected for years, while lifting people up with good jobs and livable, healthy communities.”

SALTY RELIC Hearst San Simeon State Park has plans to develop the Piedras Blancas Motel site into a campground, cabins, and refurbished motel rooms.

Managing for change

Bright orange poppies perched atop a coastal bluff stare down its ragged edge toward the water. About 70 feet away, the white, saltair battered Piedras Blancas Motel is trimmed in light blue. The motel used to have two additional wings of rooms, but those buildings were razed because they were going to fall into the ocean.

“Those have all been claimed by Mother Nature,” State Parks North SLO County District Services Manager Doug Barker said. “The campground has to be set back 75 years from bluff retreat.”

The campground is proposed to be set back at least 80 feet (and the cabins would be closer) from the edge of the bluffs, but the future of coastal erosion isn’t going to follow the patterned average of the past 50 years. On average, about 1 foot of bluff “retreats” into the ocean per year, Barker said. However, last year’s storms consumed 5 to 10 feet of land near the motel. So how long the motel will last is a questions mark—Barker thinks it will make it another 25 to 50 years—and that will affect how much State Parks is willing to spend to remodel it. The building is within 50 feet of the bluffs in some spots.

Although State Parks has based its setbacks on long-term averages, the Coastal Commission is advising the state agency to look at setbacks that are greater than they have been in the past.

“The [California] Coastal Commission likes to look at long-term bluff retreat, so we proposed putting those cabins on wheels so we can move them,” Barker said.

Putting cabins on wheels is a pretty novel idea, according to Daniel Robinson,

a Coastal Commission staffer working on the project.

“Getting maybe 20 years or 30 years out of them in a single location is better than saying, ‘You’re not safe for 100 years, so you’re not going to do your project.’ So they move it back about 40 feet where it can last for another few decades,” Robinson said.

“Managed realignment. … It’s the way that we would like everyone to do it.”

In a letter submitted to the proposed project’s mitigated negative declaration documents, the Coastal Commission requested that State Parks rethink their setback plans for the campground.

“It is not clear whether the project setback took into account current estimates of sea level rise moving forward, and the way those rising seas are expected to lead to increased erosion over time,” the letter states.

The science of sea level rise and climate change are pretty new, according to Robinson, who added that the Coastal Commission adopted a guidance document on the subject in 2015. He said that State Parks needs to take sea level rise into account when it comes to setbacks for the coastal trail as well. The letter also points out that viewshed impacts from the highway, the coastal trail, and the campground need to be more fleshed out. As the development is happening on a relatively flat area of land, Robinson acknowledged that it would be hard to completely shield tents, boardwalks, and restrooms from view.

“What we want to LAND DONATION The Hearst Corporation sold do is make sure that if development rights on almost 82,000 acres of ranchland in there are impacts that 2006, including giving 1,500 acres of land to the state, most they’re mitigated for. The of which became part of Hearst San Simeon State Park. advantage of having a lower-cost campground out there that’s maybe visible in some way, that’s a tradeoff,” he said. “It might not be perfect, but just like any issue, I think we try to get to a place where we feel comfortable that what the applicant is doing is adequate or sufficient or protective.”

Protection of the ever-expanding Piedras Blancas Point elephant seal population is the primary goal of Friends of the Elephant Seals, which works with State Parks on the 6 miles (and

growing) of Hearst San Simeon State Park coastline that make up the rookery. Tim Bridwell, the nonprofit’s co-president, said the group is concerned about the proximity of the proposed campground to the seals on Arroyo del Corral Creek beach.

When State Parks starting planning the campground four or five years ago, that beach didn’t have a population of seals, Bridwell said. However, things change.

Initial estimates for 2018 predict there will be a 4 to 5 percent increase in seal pups born compared to last year.

“We had just over 25,000 seals last year, and we had pretty close to 5,400 births,” Bridwell said. “Obviously with the population increasing, pretty much every year, the rookery has actually moved in both directions. … Over the course of three years, [Arroyo del Corral] beach has turned into a birthing beach.”

The primary concern, Bridwell said, is human safety. Friends of the Elephant Seals is also worried about too much sealhuman interaction, which can cause seals to find another beach to hang out on.

“I think if you get a chance to educate people about the animals, and you’re factual, then I don’t think too many people are going to walk up and try and put their 3-year-old on top of a 5,000 pound seal,” Bridwell said.

Signs with rusting edges warn walkers about the dangers of elephant seals, which are visible from one end of Arroyo Del Corral beach to the other. State Parks’ safety suggestion has been on the cliffs above Arroyo del Corral for longer than the recently installed elephant seal fencing.

SLO Coast District Superintendent Falat expressed a similar sentiment to Bridwell.

He sees the campground as an opportunity for education, to put people in touch with nature in a tangible way that could breed a desire to protect and conserve the natural resources we have left.

Falat said that there will always be the 1 percent of people who make poor decisions about how to interact with 5,000-pound mammals, but he added that humans and wild animals have to coexist collectively.

“Giving people more opportunity to learn hopefully creates better stewards,” he said. “And that’s what it’s going to take to protect this park right here.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham enjoys gawking at elephant seals but thinks they smell funny. Send comments to clanham@ newtimesslo.com.

TOGETHER Nothing but smiling faces, hugs, and fun are had during an On the Bus event at the California Men’s Colony.

BY KAREN GARCIA

Uniting families

A

round 1:30 a.m., children and a parent or guardian get on a school bus in places like Oakland or San Diego to travel to the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo. Tiredeyed kids wear purple shirts inscribed with “On the Bus” and an outline of the front of a bus.

Although most can hardly keep their eyes open, they also can barely contain their excitement. These kids are on their way to visit their incarcerated family members.

A few times a year, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Center partners with the Center for Restorative Justice Works to make Get on the Bus events happen.

May 19 is one of the two dates in 2018 when families will board buses and head to CMC to visit their families.

Katie Grainger has been a volunteer with the program since 2009. “The beautiful thing about Get on the Bus is it provides access for many family members who don’t have the resources, time, or ability to visit their family,” she said.

What can often prevent a family from visiting their incarcerated loved one are distance, cost of living, paperwork required for clearance, and the lack of adult accompaniment for children. Mainly, she said, the program provides a visiting experience that is unlike any other.

On these visits, families can visit an incarcerated mother or father if the inmate has been on good behavior.

Grainger said that these visits are definitely a privilege, as inmates must undergo a thorough screening check to make sure they have no write-ups or behavioral issues.

“For kids to be able to be held and loved all visit long and to be able to participate in activities with their family and run around, I mean you don’t get these during a normal visit,” she said.

During the four- to six-hour visit, the prison is closed down to visitors outside of the Get on the Bus program. Grainger said that there are many fun activities such as face painting and card games.

Children are also given a teddy bear and a package with envelopes and stamps to

12 • New Times • May 3 - May 10, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

keep in contact with their parent. But most importantly, it’s a time that children can visit with their incarcerated parent and are free to hug and play, in a free and safe setting.

“I’ve had to visit a loved one in prison before, and it could be a very intimidating process. People sometimes treat you like you’re a criminal even though you have to go through a huge background check just to go inside,” Grainger said.

She said many families say that they forgot they were at a prison during the visit, and that’s a huge part of the program.

Each year, the Center for Restorative Justice Works reaches across California to raise funds so the program can be free to participating families.

Get on the Bus provides not only a visiting service for inmates and their families, but serves as a reminder that neither party is forgotten. Grainger said it’s important for the children to know that they are still loved.

“Similarly with the person that’s incarcerated, it’s important for them to know that they’re not forgotten, that they’re missed, and they’re still loved. A mother is still a mother to her child, and a father is still a father,” she said.

Ending the bondage of bail California needs to reform a prejudicial for-profit bail system

S

tate Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham’s (R-San Luis Obispo) recent letter to the New Times (“We need a bail system,” April 12) indicates that he is about to vote no again on the issue of reforming our unfair and prejudicial for-profit cash bail system.

Reform of this antiquated, prejudicial, two-tiered system is a matter of great concern to many voters in our 35th District, state, and country. Here’s why: Roughly 62 percent of people in California’s jails are awaiting trial (presumed innocent) or sentencing, primarily because they simply cannot afford to pay the bail. This costs California taxpayers about $5 million per day to incarcerate a significant population while the legal system grinds slowly along. Additionally, there is a HUGE societal cost because those individuals cannot attend jobs; pay rents, mortgages, car, utility, or credit card payments; or possibly care for their children.

On average, black men pay 35 percent more for bail than white men accused of the same crime. This is an example of institutionalized racism.

Bail bonds typically cost the “borrower” 10 percent of the bond. If a bond amount is set at $100,000, a bondsman charges $10,000 for providing that money. Even if the borrower is found innocent, that 10 percent fee is never returned. Insurance companies invest in this $14 billion per year

HODIN

business, which then may use predatory loan practices with its desperate clients.

Bail is an incentive to come back to court but it does not by itself protect the public, despite Mr. Cunningham’s inference that it does. In fact, our current two-tiered system allows dangerous but well-heeled individuals to go free no matter how serious their alleged crime. For example, the gunman who went on a deadly shooting rampage in Tehama County last summer had been out on bail after being charged

Alaska’s new comprehensive criminal justice reform law will reduce the prison population by 13 percent and save taxpayers $380 million. California could save billions—and put it toward education. Despite overwhelming evidence, Assemblyman Cunningham is poised to vote against bail reform for the second time. While cities and states across the nation are moving to end this unjust practice, which is utilized by only one other country in the world—the Philippines—

I support common-sense legislation introduced by state Sen. Robert Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys).

Senate Bill 10 would replace the current cash bail system with a risk assessment system … with stabbing a neighbor. Unbelievably, a Bay Area woman arrested for killing the father of her two children was released from jail after posting an unprecedented $35 million bail raised by wealthy friends, family, and business associates.

Our military does not use a money bail system. States like New Jersey, Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland, and Arizona have reformed money bail systems to reflect an evidence-based approach. Defendants still return to court in roughly equal numbers than before the reform.

Defendants are more likely to be convicted when they enter the courtroom in custody.

Whether you are detained before trial can very well predict whether you are eventually convicted. People become desperate to leave jail and agree to plea deals—sometimes for crimes they would be found not guilty of.

Cunningham remains intransigent.

I support common-sense legislation introduced by state Sen. Robert Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys). Senate Bill 10 would replace the current cash bail system with a risk assessment system to determine a defendant’s discipline to reappear in court, or the public safety risk if released before trial—regardless of wealth. The court would make the final decision in each case, and judges could still set bail or order people to remain in custody until trial. The proposed reforms would ensure that people accused of non-serious/nonviolent crimes could be appropriately released from pretrial custody, enabling them to work, pay their bills, care for families, and participate in proving their innocence. This will make a more fair

justice system while still prioritizing public safety and victims’ rights.

Cunningham’s April 12 letter was in response to a letter to the editor by Elie Axelroth (“Cunningham: Talk to us about bail reform,” April 5). In his letter, Cunningham claims that his greatest concern is for public safety, yet during his first year he’s voted against many bills that would enhance public safety. He voted against AB 424, to make school zones truly gun free; against AB 1008, to help the formerly incarcerated gain employment and make them productive citizens; and against AB 859 to help provide justice for abused senior citizens. As for protecting children, he voted against SB 395, which allows minors to consult with lawyers during all interrogations, and against SB 394 (now law) that gives people serving mandatory life sentences without parole for crimes they committed as minors (children) the chance of parole after serving 25 years. These are not the votes of a compassionate person with the best interests of the community at large.

We need to reform our two-tiered justice system that opportunes for-profit players to prey on the economically disadvantaged and people of color and costs tax payers billions of dollars while offering no greater security to public safety.

Opinion What free speech protects In Daniel Pfau’s opinion piece (“Trigger warning,” April 19), he seems to confuse actions with speech.

Paraphrasing comments attributed to Voltaire: I fi nd what you say deplorable, but I will defend to my death your right to say it.

Does Mr. Pfau believe that the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution is only to protect the speech with which we agree? No, it is to protect the people from government overreach, which censors speech that is contrary to what the government deems appropriate.

He is asking the president of Cal Poly University (an agency of the government) to censor speech with which Mr. Pfau disagrees.

We can fi nd such government censorship in Germany in the 1930s, in Russia and China from the 1950s until today, in North Korea, and many Middle Eastern countries and others as well.

I believe that Mr. Pfau may feel his position is fi ne as long as those in power do not attempt to deem his speech offensive. Should that change, Mr. Pfau may be demanding that he be free to speak his mind, without censorship as he did in the commentary.

Does Mr. Pfau believe he is the ultimate authority on what others

Andrew Holland death cover-up I have just watched the video that the Holland Family put together chronicling Andrew Holland’s life and death in the SLO County Jail.

Yes, the county settled with the family for $5 million, but what does a life cost? The sheriff and everyone at the jail—and there were many—who were incompetent, heedless, and cavalier when an inmate was gasping for air, should also take responsibility and have consequences for Andrew’s suffering and other deaths at the jail.

Pay attention, get involved A local political watchdog, Otis Page, left this earth with little fanfare last month.

Although Otis and I shared very few national policy positions, I always respected him for one thing.

He constantly urged citizens to get involved and pay attention to the governance they were subjected to.

He was a pioneer of the public pension predicament and always demanded transparency in government.

“Save Otis!” was once the rallying cry from the Arroyo Grande City Council doorsteps.

I will miss his energy and desire to make things his way.

Defending freedoms?

Local Republican and regular New Times contributor Al Fonzi likes to present himself as a defender of our freedoms, but from all of his opinion pieces that I have read, I see just the opposite.

First, he primarily focuses on protecting aspects of certain freedoms, which are used by some to restrict or deny the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of many other people. For example, he defends members of hate groups’ use of free speech to incite violence against others. He thinks that the right to bear arms should include enabling mentally unstable people to use assault rif les and commit mass shootings. He promotes the idea that Christian fundamentalists can use their freedom of religion to shape our laws to restrict a woman’s reproductive rights, discriminate against people who are homosexual, and to interfere with a person’s right to choose their sexual identity. He thinks industry should be free from regulations that create protections for all of us from unnecessary exposure to toxins and pollution.

In addition, in spite of writing every other week about political issues, he fails to address the ongoing threats to many of our other freedoms. He fails to bring up the fact that Republicans have tried to prevent citizens from freely participating in our elections by trying to establish restrictive voter ID laws and have tried to deny citizens

reasonable access to voting sites. He doesn’t seem too concerned about how gerrymandering is used to keep many citizens from being fairly represented by their government. Instead of focusing on Putin and the Trump campaign’s interference in our free and fair elections, he attacks the FBI. He’s written nothing about protecting our freedom of the press against the outrageous claims of “fake news” by the current administration. He continues to support a Republican Party that allows Trump to abuse his power and trample on our democratic system of justice.

He supports Trump, a U.S. president, who continually admires and praises dictators around the world.

It seems to me that Al Fonzi is not the patriot he thinks he is.

Compton listens This is an election season has that has been a bit hard to understand since we have experienced firsthand support from our San Luis Obispo County 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton.

We need to do everything we can to procure and save our water resources, so as to make them available to all of us who live and work here in San Luis Obispo County and—most of all—to conserve water using methods that are proven to reduce consumption. After all, when it comes to water, we are all in this together.

As water conservation business owners in the South County, it’s been tough to get public officials to listen about modern methods of water conservation using available technology. Lynn Compton is the only officeholder who has listened to our message and has actually done something about it.

Lynn Compton’s resolve and hard work to protect and conserve our water resources has been nothing less than impressive.

She really listens.

Come June 5, we need her to stay the course for us in the race for 4th District supervisor.

s I stated last month, despite state gun laws that help protect victims of domestic violence, last year, Ron Rawlinson of Grover Beach murdered Dana Neece with a 9 mm handgun.

Though California has made strides in trying to protect victims of domestic violence, legal and procedural gaps continue to put victims at mortal risk.

We must close the gaps and provide victim advocates through SLO County domestic violence service programs in the name of Dana Neece and fellow residents who seek protection from RISE and Stand Strong.

Imagine you’re a victim. You have to navigate a legal labyrinth, but you probably don’t know that criminal and civil courts have different laws. I didn’t.

Beth Raub, assistant director of the District Attorney’s Victim Assistance Center, and Kirsten Rambo, executive director of Stand Strong, showed me there were critical differences in the procedures of criminal court verses civil court.

All reported assaults are adjudicated

“Prop. 63 requires courts and probation officers to ensure that guns are removed from convicted abusers, but that’s not the case in family court, where the burden falls to the victim,” Rambo told me.

How likely is it that—without an expert advocate at their sides—victims can negotiate their way through this mess?

Right now, to take guns out of the hands of abusers, everyone involved must follow through: Courts, law enforcement, and probation officers must be proactive in removing weapons and demanding proof that guns have been surrendered.

What’s more, law enforcement must be timely in entering domestic violence incidents into a database and entering the names of offenders into the gun registry, so that abusers can’t purchase new weapons.

OK, you’re a terrified victim. Do you know the law? And if so, are you willing to come forward to get a restraining order? To get the guns away from the abuser?

Listen, we simply have to disarm abusers more quickly and efficiently.

You got that? The pressure is almost always on the victim not the abuser, because in civil court, a restraining or protective order must be triggered by the victim … . in criminal court. If a person—think of a woman you may know who’s been in this dire situation—fears for her life but no violent incident has been reported, she must go to civil court to get protection.

In criminal court, persons charged or convicted of assault, battery, or stalking, are not supposed to be able to purchase or possess firearms. In civil court, the same goes for individuals who are subject to domestic violence restraining or protective orders.

Back in criminal court, it’s up to the judge and probation officers to ensure that a search is conducted to determine if the subject of the order has a firearm.

You got that? The pressure is almost always on the victim not the abuser, because in civil court, a restraining or protective order must be triggered by the victim, and that victim must also petition the court to remove weapons held by the abuser.

Abusers must either sell or surrender firearms immediately upon request of law enforcement. To prove that they have relinquished their weapons, they must file proof from law enforcement or a gun dealer within 48 hours.

Now ask yourself: What kind of horror can take place in those 48 hours?

Let’s return to criminal court. Newly effective as of Jan. 1, Proposition 63 requires convicted domestic violence offenders to provide proof that they sold or transferred their firearms. This is a very good development, but it’s not good enough.

Yes, probation officers and courts must verify that the defendant has complied, and the court may issue search warrants to recover illegally retained firearms. But the new law doesn’t apply to civil court.

First, clearly, we must eliminate the gun show loophole that allows individuals to access weapons even if purchasers are listed in the National Criminal Information Center database.

And the database must be airtight—and the data must be entered immediately.

Devin Kelley, for instance, was able to obtain guns with which he killed 26 churchgoers in Sutherland Springs, Texas, because the Air Force neglected to report his domestic abuse convictions.

“In civil court, victims must represent themselves and ask for a weapons review hearing,” Raub told me. “There’s no automatic trigger, which in criminal court allows the deputy district attorney to review the case.”

So, it’s incumbent upon Californians to create a Proposition 63 for civil court, which would help ensure that reporting and removal of weapons is not left up to traumatized victims, who must figure out how to keep themselves and their family safe while traversing an unfamiliar court system.

Even fiscally conservative Supervisor Lynn Compton noted that “law enforcement must have the resources it needs to investigate and prosecute domestic abuse cases.” As Raub, Rambo, and other professionals assert, we also need to fund victim advocacy, both in civil court and at the scene of a potential domestic violence incident.

No victim should stand alone in confronting an abuser. ∆ Amy Hewes is actively involved in grassroots political action. Send comments through the editor at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

The Shredder

The last stand

T

o hear conservatives tell it, California is under attack! It’s an all-out invasion, people! The sky is falling, and it’s raining little brown drug dealers, criminals, and rapists!

In two marathon meetings on April 17 and May 1, conservative Paso Robles residents took turns telling their City Council that illegal immigrants are a huge threat to legal residents’ way of life. They want Paso to join a handful of other sphincter-clenched cities suing the state over its so-called “sanctuary state” law, SB 54, which basically says local law enforcement can’t ask about people’s immigration status, doesn’t have to cooperate with federal immigration authorities in their hunt for undocumented immigrants, and doesn’t have to turn over non-violent incarcerated immigrants.

If SB 54 seems reasonable to you, it’s probably because you know the value of undocumented workers to the state’s economy. You realize that demanding to see the “papers” of every non-white resident is racist and unconstitutional.

And you believe Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under President Donald Trump behaves draconically and is destroying families and deporting hardworking mothers such as Grover Beach resident and former motel cleaning woman Neofita Valerio-Silva, 47, who lived in the U.S. for more than two decades, effectively separating her from her three children,

including a 16-yearold daughter—a cheerleader at Arroyo Grande High School.

“Go, heartless assholes!” (Insert pompom shaking) Be honest, Paso: Do you need to stop SB 54 because you’re under threat from the likes of Valerio-Silva? Is your xenophobia worth leaving a 16-year-old American girl without a legal guardian?

Clap, clap, clap. You must be so proud, Defenders of Amerikkka.

Ty Lewis, Paso Robles’ incoming police chief isn’t a super big fan of SB 54, but as he told residents, “SB 54 is California state law” and refusing to follow it “would be ordering my department to violate state law, which would put my officers and myself in legal jeopardy.”

Lewis also noted that immigration enforcement isn’t in the purview of local law enforcement anyway: “The real question is, ‘Has it made our jobs more difficult?’ I don’t know that it has. We still arrest people. We still work with the DA’s Office when they’re in jail to prosecute them. That other layer, that ancillary area of the immigration issue, isn’t something that we’ve ever dealt with.”

The Paso Robles City Council declined to take any action, but that didn’t stop these fine upstanding nationalists from demanding that Lewis prepare a memo outlining all the areas he

sees wrong with SB 54 so they can send it to Gov. Jerry Brown in their attempt to get the law suspended.

Yes, it was quite a meeting on May 1, which ironically fell on May Day, an international day honoring workers, for whom Paso’s conservative citizens apparently have no respect if they happen to be undocumented in California doing all the crap jobs no one else will.

My favorite moment was when Mayor Steve Martin, noting all the citizens waiting to speak about the SB 54 agenda item, moved to bring it up first so as not on inconvenience those waiting.

Instead, Martin was asked to table it until its scheduled time because a bunch of potential speakers were attending a debate between Republican candidates for the California governorship, John Cox and late arrival Assemblyman Travis Allen, being held concurrently in the Atascadero Lake Pavilion.

I thought the Paso City Council meeting was full of right-wing wingdings, but they didn’t have anything on the Tea Party going on down in A-Town!

“We’re going to make California great, truly great, once more,” Cox promised, parroting Trump’s “Make America Great Again” motto. Maybe he was just reading off all the Trump memorabilia in the audience. Cox would have been a big hit up in Paso. Of SB 54, he said, “It’s an affront that the leadership of this state exalts illegal alien criminals above the law-abiding citizens of this state … federal law pre-empts state law.”

Hmm, I thought conservatives were all about state’s rights. And aren’t

you running for governor of California, a sovereign state? Are you going to be singing the praises of federal law when there’s another liberal Democrat in the White House?

Eventually Allen showed up, saying he was “stuck on California’s roads,” which he’ll no doubt refuse to raise taxes to fix, making everyone in the state late, but I digress.

“Raise your hand if you thinks it’s about time that our government puts our citizens first,” Allen said, followed by more tasty red meat delights such as CalPERS “pensions are a ticking time bomb,” defund the high speed rail, make California a shall-issue conceal carry weapons state, end Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ammunition registry, and “Jerry Brown lied!”

Allen also claimed California’s water shortage is fake: “We’re going to flood the Central Valley, every Californian is going to have a green lawn, and you’re going to take a long shower once again.”

Chicken in every pot!

Is it any wonder liberals think conservatives are living in a false reality? Get a load of the recent Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business (COLAB) newsletter, which claims the SLO County Planning Department is infiltrated by the so-called “Deep State with leftists ties.”

BY GLEN STARKEY

Bluegrass shakedown Parkfield hosts its 20th bluegrass bonanza

R

eady for some pickin’ and grinnin’?

How about some campin’ and dancin’ and eatin’ and laughin’?

The 20th annual Parkfield Bluegrass Festival—scheduled for next Thursday, May 11, through Sunday, May 13—offers all that and a whole lot more (tickets and festival schedule at parkfieldbluegrass.org).

Held every Mother’s Day weekend in Parkfield (the so-called “earthquake capital of the world”), the festival takes over the super charming, unincorporated community of about 18 people, transforming it into an Americana lovers’ paradise with bluegrass, old-time, traditional, and gospel music concerts, plus workshops, dances, and lots of kids’ activities.

This year’s headliner is The Lonely Heartstring Band, a classic bluegrass quintet that pays reverence to the past but pushes into the future of bluegrass.

Their three-part vocal harmonies will blow you away.

Also appearing is Missy Raines and The New Hip. She’s a seventime International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Bass Player of the Year winner with a smoky alto voice.

Molsky’s Mountain Drifters will bring their old-time traditions. Jeff Scroggins and Colorado is an IBMA Award-winning high-energy Coloradobased quintet. Also from Colorado, FY5 brings “thoughtful arrangements, strong singing, and musicianship,” organizers say.

A nation divided

It was a tumultuous time in America. Nope, we’re not talking about the dumpster fire that was 2016. We’re talking about 1935 and the play It Can’t Happen Here, showing at Cuesta College May 4 to 13.

Presidential candidate Buzz Windrip promises change, but once elected, his fascist tendencies shine through, leading to chaos and social upheaval. This play is adapted from Lewis Sinclair’s book of the same name and tells the story of the United States in the iron grip of a native-born American dictator.

All the art

Step into the life of a colorful character who was not only ahead of her time, but helped define it at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art’s viewing of Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict on May 21.

The museum’s monthly movie night kicks off at 7 p.m. The film tells the story of Guggenheim, an heiress to a family fortune who became a central figure in the modern art movement. She accumulated not only art but artists, collecting pieces and forging relationships with the likes of Samuel Beckett, Max Ernst, Jackson Pollock, Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp, and others, going on to build one of the most important collections of modern art.

The suggested donation is $5 for members, $7 for nonmembers, and includes a complimentary beverage.

Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In, Bay, Park, Galaxy Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: Civil War and Captain America: The Winter Soldier) direct this new Avengers installment, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

The whole freaking universe is at stake, people, so every single character from the Marvel pantheon must join forces to fight the evil Thanos (Josh Brolin) before he wipes out half of everything.

Of course, including every single character can get pretty chaotic and leave for a lot of abbreviated storylines, and then there’s the matter of excessiveness. Even

comic book action adventure stories offer moments of rest and respite, but they come few and far between in this bombastic and overblown tale. It’s everything you want in a comic book movie, but turned up to 11.

Some will like that, others won’t.

The film opens with Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) overcome by Thanos, then it hands off to Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who enlists Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to save the universe. Banner has to round up Steve Rogers/Capt. America (Chris Evans). When they’re attacked by Thanos’ minions, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) has to show up and rescue them. Meanwhile the Guardians of the Galaxy (Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, and Chris Pratt) have to rescue Thor from

outer space death. Various superheroes are trying to protect various “infinity stones” that Thanos is trying to acquire so he can kill off half the universe with a literal snap of his fingers. And soon James “Rhodey” Rhodes/War Machine (Don Cheadle), Vision (Paul Bettany), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and Bucky Barnes/ White Wolf (Sebastian Stan) all convene at T’Challa/Black Panther’s (Chadwick Boseman) hidden kingdom of Wakanda for a final showdown with Thanos. It’s exhausting! It’s also pretty exhilarating! Its ending, however, is bullshit!

I suspect everyone who’s a Marvel fan has already added to the film’s $250 million opening weekend, but if you haven’t and you plan on going, stop reading here because I’m going to spoil the ending right now: Thanos wins. That’s right. He snaps his fingers and

This ending is lame. Most of these actors have multi-film contracts. Are we to assume, for instance, that the upcoming Guardians and Black Panther films—already in the works—are all going to be prequels? Plus there’s an Avengers: Infinity War—Part II listed as in “post-production” on imdb.com with the killed-off characters listed in the cast. No, there’s going to be some dumb trick that will somehow resurrect these characters, and that pisses me off, which is why I won’t give this film full price. Don’t play with me, Marvel!

Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy Co-writers-directors Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein helm this story about insecure Renee Bennett (Amy Schumer), who after suffering a fall awakes to believe she’s the world’s most beautiful and capable woman.

Funny lady Amy Schumer (Trainwreck, Snatched) is back doing what she does best—bringing laughs through selfdeprecating humor and physical comedy.

While I Feel Pretty has a surprisingly dismal metascore on both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, I for one was laughing from beginning to end, and my fellow audience members seemed to feel the same.

Renee (Schumer) is a sad sack of a woman whose utter lack of self confidence keeps her from going after the things she really wants … that is until a Soulcycle class gone wrong, resulting in a head injury that brings brimming self-confidence.

When Renee looks in the mirror, she sees utter perfection looking back. Her new lease on life leads to a new dream job, a romantic prospect, and an “in” with her boss, a mouse voiced Avery LeClaire (Michelle Williams) who uses Renee’s “every woman” appeal to launch a line of cosmetics to run in stores like Target and Kohl’s, not their usual high-end markets.

Of course not everything in Renee’s life is smooth sailing because of her new confidence. Her tried-and-true gal pals (Aidy Bryant and Busy Phillips) soon grow sick of her strive for stature and exclusivity, and Renee soon learns that even “pretty people” have problems.

While it’s a bit ridiculous to say that Schumer is anything short of pretty—she is, in fact, a working Hollywood actress— she does fall outside of the typical starlet aesthetic and is a vocal advocate for inclusion and acceptance. She also isn’t afraid to put it all out there for the sake of comedy, and she brings some seriously funny stuff to her character.

Soon after meeting Ethan (Rory Scovel), they venture into a bar with a bikini contest going on, and Renee jumps right in. She ties up her shirt, rolls up her shorts, and hops onstage with the group of toned and tiny contestants. It’s hilarious, and

BLACK PANTHER

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Galaxy Co-writer/director Ryan Coogler (Creed) helms this story about T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), a newly crowned king of the technologically advanced but isolationist country of Wakanda, who finds his new kinghood challenged by Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), a vengeful victim of T’Challa’s father’s past actions.

Every comic book hero needs a villain, and the obvious one here is white South African arms dealer Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis), who’s working with Killmonger to steal vibranium, an alien metal that arrived as a meteorite and is responsible for the Wakandan technology. But that’s only looking at the surface. Dig deeper into this Afrocentric and female-centric film and the real villain is colonialism and the African diaspora is caused that fuels competing ideologies within the larger black community.

It’s an empowering reimagining of African roots but also—remember—a fantasy. Ultimately, this is a super hero flick that refuses to stay in the genre’s rut and that’s interested in exploring complicated political and cultural ideas.

Sure, other Marvel stories have looked at politics, from Iron Man and the arms trade to Captain America: Winter’s Soldier and drones, PTSD, and warfare, but Black Panther goes deeper than any other Marvel storyline. I say, keep it coming. (134 min.)

Moonrise Kingdom) directs this stop-motion animated tale about Atari Kobayashi (Koyu Rankin), a young boy living in near-future dystopian Japan, who goes in search of his dog, Spots (Live Schreiber), which has been banished—as have all dogs—to Trash Island because of a dog flu outbreak.

Along the way, Atari receives help from other banished dogs, including Rex (Edward Norton), King (Bob Balaban), Duke (Jeff Goldblum), Boss (Bill Murray), and Chief (Bryan Cranston).

Meanwhile back in Megasaki City, dogbanisher and Mayor Kobayashi (Kunichi Nomura)—Atari’s guardian—works to thwart Professor Watanabe (Akira Ito), who’s developing a cure for the dog flu, so the Mayor can carry out his evil plan to exterminate all dogs.

Talking dogs feels completely natural in Isle of Dogs, which explores the unique relationships between humans and dogs

from the dogs’ perspective. Chief, for instance, is a stray, and his pack members subtly and silently judge him for it. Nutmeg is a former show dog used to regular grooming and being fawned over, but like all the other dogs banished to Trash Island, she lost her elevated position and deals with it with a level of class that’s hard not to admire.

This sort of anthropomorphization is human nature—we love to imagine our pets have an inner dialogue and love us the same way we love them. Anderson has a lot of fun exploring how dogs think of humans and each other.

Ultimately, this is a film about relationships, loyalty, honor, and ethics, which are pretty heavy topics, but first and foremost, this is a wonderful looking film. I absolutely loved it!

It helps that there’s a great cast doing great voice work with some fun surprises.

Greta Gerwig is terrific as earnest and idealistic exchange student Tracy Walker.

While the dogs all speak English, all the Japanese characters speak in Japanese, so we have Frances McDormand starring as Interpreter Nelson. You’ll also hear the familiar voices of Harvey Keitel and F. Murray Abraham. Tilda Swinton is great as Oracle, a Pug who watches TV and repeats what she sees, leading the dogs around her to think she’s a prognosticating mystic.

Even though the story centers on Atari and his search for Spots, this is really Chief’s story. He’s the character with the biggest arc, the one who has to learn about the sacred relationship between man and dog, who also has to learn he’s good enough to deserve a mate like Nutmeg.

The dogs are actually a lot more complex than most of the human characters, and it’s Chief we’re rooting for more than Atari.

Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy Director and co-writer John Krasinski (Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Promised Land, The Hollars) helms and stars in this horror story, co-written by Bryan Woods and Scott Beck, about the Abbott family—father Lee (Krasinski), pregnant mother Evelyn (Emily Blunt), and kids Beau (Cade Woodward), Marcus (Noah Jupe), and deaf daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds)— who must live in utter silence to protect themselves from deadly creatures that hunt by sound.

While the synopsis may sound like standardissue sci-fi horror, A Quiet Place is instead throat-clenchingly tense and a thoroughly thoughtful meditation on parenthood, family, and guilt.

Most recent horror movies have bored me due to a lack of scares, flat characters, or hackneyed writing and direction. A Quiet Place falls prey to none of that, and it offers a badass but open ending, which I found hopeful though my wife didn’t—that’s deft filmmaking in my book. (90 min.)

Set in a dystopian 2044, life sucks for most people, so they spend their time in OASIS where they can live out their fantasies. Those playing the game and searching for the egg are called Gunters (egg hunters), but Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn), the power-mad CEO of Innovative Online Industries (IOI) that manufactures the equipment to access the virtual world, also wants control of the OASIS, so he’s enlisted a cadre of indentured players called Sixers (due to their six-digit identifications), to win the quest and hand over control to IOI. Our hero is Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), a teenage Gunter. Can he figure out the game and win control? Seeing as this is a Spielberg film, you already know the answer, but that doesn’t stop the ride from being a lot of fun.

Teamwork and friendship is also important theme in this film. Wade and Helen have never met in real life, but they’re best friends in OASIS. They have to learn to work with and trust Samantha and her avatar, and Sho (Philip Zhao) and Daito (Win Morisaki) eventually join them to form a team of five. To raise the stakes, we learn that Samantha’s father died as an indentured player for Sorrento and IOI, so yes, there are real-world ramifications to the “game,” and it’s pure Spielberg for a bunch of kids to take on corrupt grownup powers and win.

When the film opens, the boys have lost their jobs with the local police department after having earlier lost their jobs as highway patrolmen. They’re working at a construction site under foreman Farva, an insufferable tool who makes a lot of caulk (read cock) jokes.

They’re told by the governor that they can earn their patrol jobs back if they can successfully transition a Canadian town into an American one. The Canadians aren’t too receptive, and things heat up after the team begins discovering caches of drugs, cell phones, and guns, which after the land trade-off between Canada and the U.S. will already be on U.S. soil—a nifty smuggling trick.

What follows is a lot of shenanigans between the troopers and their Mountie counterparts, as well as a search to discover the smugglers. Overall, it’s pretty funny, though not quite as funny as the first and certainly not as original.

BLAST FROM THE budget, most of which seems to have been spent on hair gel.

Aside from the drug- and sex-addicted models and club kids, there’s a side plot involving German scientist Johann Hoffman (Otto von Wernherr), who’s seen observing the aliens from the Empire State Building.

His explanations are responsible for making sense of the alien plot. When the observation deck closes, Hoffman seeks help from his only American friend, college drama teacher Owen (Bob Brady), who it turns out had an affair with his former student Margaret.

Basically, anyone who has sex with Margaret dies upon orgasm with a crystal protruding from their skull. Margaret is apparently immune because she doesn’t reach orgasm, but she does realize the new power of her sexual relations and begins using it to dispatch those she despises.

It’s dark and weird and full of film school trickery. The real question is if this is an earnest exploration of drug addiction or a dark and comic satire. Hell if I know! Rocky Horror Picture Show it’s not, but over the years it’s enjoyed midnight screenings with costumed attendees.

ike seagulls scanning the sand for tasty worms and mollusks, the surfers flock to the coast.

The sun is barely up, each crashing wave delivering a salty chill that lingers in the air. This is what feeds a surfer: the dream of a perfect set, a morning full of beautiful barrels (or at least one good ride). But before they peel off denim and flannel for the security of neoprene skin, they’ll need to be well fed.

In other words: a surfer’s gotta eat.

For Ryan Allshouse, this means a healthy kasha bowl sprinkled with nuts and fruit. Or—when he’s surfing Pismo Beach—a sugary ring of fried dough procured from Surfside Donuts alongside a tall, steaming cup of Stumptown coffee.

Allshouse will be on the beach at 7 a.m. sharp this Saturday, May 5 (coffee in hand), as part of Wine, Waves, and Beyond’s annual 805 Surf Classic Contest, which has become a local tradition.

Aside from tasty waves, the threeday event will provide set after set of wine, beer, food, VW buses, and classic California surf culture.

Of course, this isn’t just any food fest or surf contest. For one, winemakers and brewers have always been part of this bag.

“Winemakers have been winning the surf contest more often so far, but there is a huge caveat because there are so many more new brewers coming up all the time,” Allshouse said.

It’s true. Taste for yourself at the Barrel

to Barrel event, slated for Sunday, May 6, on the oceanfront lawn at the Cliffs Resort in Pismo Beach. Gathered under sunny skies and circling seagulls looking for a scrap, expect more than 40 craft breweries and area wineries. And to gnaw on?

As it turns out, surfers like to eat a whole lot after they get out of the water.

Splash Cafe, Cracked Crab, Apple Farm, Gardens of Avila, Cool Cat Cafe, Marisol at the Cliffs, and Vivant Fine Cheese will all be on hand for maximum munchies.

Chef Steven Smeets of Apple Farm in SLO said he’s hoping to bring grandma and granddaughter together with newschool comfort cravings. Expect a giant roast served with horseradish, plus chicken and biscuits.

“This event is known for giving out substantial portions,” Smeets said, adding that the Apple Farm’s pastry chef

has created a “faux-stess” Ding Dong on steroids inspired by those old-school Hostess treats you love to love.

Word on the street: Cliffs Pastry Chef Jeniece Grimshaw is making her own slant on the classic Twinkie, complete with vanilla cream innards.

“Comfort food transcends generations, whether you’re a young buck or an old surfer,” Smeets added.

Speaking of old surfers, they’ll be plenty of ’em at the annual Surf Movie Night at the Fremont Theater in downtown SLO. Nervous Laughter will show Friday, May 4, with proceeds going directly to StillFrothy, a nonprofit that organizes beach cleanups, supports wounded warriors and AMP Surf, and encourages youth to get off their butts and onto boards.

After all, all those future “old surfers” have to start young.

Gnarly grub!

Local nonprofit GleanSLO will again receive all the funds from the Barrel to Barrel food, wine, and beer event. Roxanne Sanders is GleanSLO’s Program Manager and one of the group’s only full-time staff (wink, wink: she could use a hand, if you’re not against rolling up those sleeves). Together with her band of volunteers, unwanted produce is gleaned, cleaned, and given back to the community.

Volunteers pick across the region in backyards and farms, but few probably know that citrus is often culled from Pismo Beach, and berries grow mere miles away from the ocean.

“One of our most popular picks is raspberries and blackberries August through November at Talley Farms in Arroyo Grande, ” Sanders added. “When you’re sitting on the beach, you wouldn’t necessarily think about how berries grow well here, thanks to the coastal influence.”

Longtime Wine, Waves, and Beyond board member, Chronic Cellars co-owner, and surfer Josh Beckett said it’s hard to keep a food and wine event fresh in a county that consistently churns out more and more festivals.

The success of Wine, Waves, and Beyond, then, is probably due to the fact that organizers have kept paddling. Surfing would be no fun without occasionally going toes on the nose, coming off the lip, or even wiping out.

“We’re also fortunate to have GleanSLO as our beneficiary, to have an unreal setting, and the fact that we bring the whole Central Coast together,” Beckett said.

As an old surfer once said: Give them wine, and they might come.

But give them wine, waves, and maybe some killer roast beef, and the 805ers will roll out en mass, VW vans blazing.

“It all goes hand in hand,” Beckett said.

“So many of us who live here do it all: It’s the surf, the beer, the food, and wine.” ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain cannot surf, but she can sort of boogie board while eating a taco. She can be reached at hthomas@ newtimesslo.com.

H ayley’s P icks Red-handed giving How often do you consider the human being who planted your lettuce, harvested your strawberries, or processed those olives into the oil you use to sauté dinner every night? It’s important to remember that behind every great meal or bottle of wine, there are usually two pairs of weather-beaten hands doing the heavy lifting, sowing, weed pulling, and pruning.

Talley Vineyards reminds us of this fact with its 2015 charity wine, Mano Tinta, or “Red Hand.”

The wine, benefiting the Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers, is a nod to hardworking local growers who rarely see the spotlight.

This isn’t a one-winery show. All of the grapes, materials, and services used to make Mano Tinta are donated by the local wine community (Sinor LaValle Vineyards, Ranchita Canyon Vineyards, Wolff Vineyards, and Laetitia Vineyard and Winery have been caught red-handed helping the cause); plus, local artists create a new label each year. This is not a drop of help. It’s more like a flood.

Created in 2004 by Brian and Johnine Talley, the goal has always been to establish $1 million endowment, and—drum roll please—that endowment has recently surpassed $900,000! Considering that just last year, the fund made grants of $30,000 to the SLO Noor Foundation and Tolosa Children’s Dental Center, I’d say this wine is worthy of a spot at your next family gathering.

That’s not all. Most recently, the group created a new scholarship directly benefiting the sons and daughters of SLO County farmworkers to ensure that the next generation has a helping hand, too. If this cause matters to you, look at your own hands. Yes. I say, look at your wallet and your glass.

Find our where to purchase Mano Tinta and learn more about The Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers by calling (805) 489-0446 or going to talleyvineyards.com.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What’s the most important question you need an answer for in the next five years? Deliver your best guess to me. Freewillastrology.com.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): I hate rampant consumerism almost as much as I hate hatred, so I don’t offer the following advice lightly: Buy an experience that could help liberate you from the suffering you’ve had trouble outgrowing. Or buy a toy that can thaw the frozen joy that’s trapped within your outof-date sadness. Or buy a connection that might inspire you to express a desire you need help in expressing. Or buy an influence that will motivate you to shed a belief or theory that has been cramping your lust for life. Or all of the above!

(And if buying these things isn’t possible, consider renting.)

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting,” said 20th century abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning. “Cézanne did it. Picasso did it with Cubism. Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all to hell.” In de Kooning’s view, these “destructive” artists performed a noble service. They demolished entrenched ideas about the nature of painting, thus liberating their colleagues and descendants from stale constraints. Judging from the current astrological omens, Libra, I surmise the near future will be a good time for you to wreak creative destruction in your own field or sphere. What progress and breakthroughs might be possible when you dismantle comfortable limitations?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): These days you have an enhanced ability to arouse the appreciation and generosity of your allies, friends, and loved ones. The magnetic influence you’re emanating could even start to evoke the interest and inquiries of mere acquaintances and random strangers.

Be discerning about how you wield that potent stuff! On the other hand, don’t be shy about using it to attract all the benefits it can bring you. It’s ok to be a bit greedier for goodies than usual as long as you’re also a bit more compassionate than usual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I bet that a healing influence will arrive from an unexpected direction and begin to work its subtle but intense magic before anyone realizes what’s happening.

I predict that the bridge you’re building will lead to a place that’s less flashy but more useful than you imagined. And I’m guessing that although you may initially feel jumbled by unforeseen outcomes, those outcomes will ultimately be redemptive. Hooray for lucky flukes and weird switcheroos!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Born under the astrological sign of Cancer, Franz Kafka is regarded as one of the 20th century’s major literary talents. Alas, he made little money from his writing.

Among the day jobs he did to earn a living were stints as a bureaucrat at insurance companies. His superiors there praised his efforts. “Superb administrative talent,” they said about him. Let’s use this as a take-off point to meditate on your destiny, Cancerian. Are you good at skills you’re not passionate about? Are you admired and acknowledged for having qualities that aren’t of central importance to you? If so, the coming weeks and months will be a favorable time to explore this apparent discrepancy. I believe you will have the power to get closer to doing more of what you love to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you really wanted to, you could probably break the world’s record for most words typed per minute with the nose (103 characters in 47 seconds). I bet you could also shatter a host of other marks, as well, like eating the most hot chiles in two minutes, or weaving the biggest garland using defunct iPhones, or dancing the longest on a tabletop while listening to a continuous loop of Nirvana’s song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But I hope you won’t waste your soaring capacity for excellence on meaningless stunts like those. I’d rather see you break your own personal records for accomplishments like effective communications, highquality community-building, and smart career moves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was among history’s three most influential scientists. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has been described as the central figure in modern philosophy. Henry James (1843-1916) is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a prominent art critic and social thinker. What did these four men have in common? They never had sex with anyone. They were virgins when they died. I view this fact with alarm. What does it mean that Western culture is so influenced by the ideas of men who lacked this fundamental initiation? With that as our context, I make this assertion: If you hope to make good decisions in the coming weeks, you must draw on the wisdom you have gained from being sexually entwined with other humans.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mayflies are aquatic insects with short life spans. Many species live less than 24 hours, even though the eggs they lay may take three years to hatch. I suspect this may be somewhat of an apt metaphor for your future, Scorpio. A transitory or short-duration experience could leave a legacy that will ripen for a long time before it hatches. But that’s where the metaphor breaks down. When your legacy has fully ripened—when it becomes available as a living presence—I bet it will last a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When a critic at Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the Beatles’ Abbey Road in 1969, he said some of the songs were “so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to.” He added, “Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this.” Years later, however, Rolling Stone altered its opinion, naming Abbey Road the 14th best album of all time. I suspect, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase with metaphorical resemblances to the earlier assessment. But I’m reasonably sure that this will ultimately evolve into being more like the later valuation—and it won’t take years.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, love should be in full bloom. You should be awash in worthy influences that animate your beautiful passion. So how about it? Are you swooning and twirling and uncoiling? Are you overflowing with a lush longing to celebrate the miracle of being alive? If your answer is yes, congratulations. May your natural intoxication levels continue to rise. But if my description doesn’t match your current experience, you may be out of sync with cosmic rhythms. And if that’s the case, please take emergency measures. Escape to a sanctuary where you can shed your worries and inhibitions and maybe even your clothes. Get drunk on undulating music as you dance yourself into a dreamy love revelry.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Life never gives you anything that’s all bad or all good.” So proclaimed the smartest Aquarian 6-year-old girl I know as we kicked a big orange ball around a playground. I agreed with her! “Twenty years from now,” I told her, “I’m going to remind you that you told me this heartful truth.” I didn’t tell her the corollary that I’d add to her axiom, but I’ll share it with you: If anything or anyone or seems to be all bad or all good, you’re probably not seeing the big picture. There are exceptions, however! For example, I bet you will soon experience or are already experiencing a graceful stroke of fate that’s very close to being all good.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Enodation” is an old, nearly obsolete English word that refers to the act of untying a knot or solving a knotty problem. “Enodous” means “free of knots.”

Let’s make these your celebratory words of power for the month of May, Pisces. Speak them out loud every now and then. Invoke them as holy chants and potent prayers leading you to discover the precise magic that will untangle the kinks and snarls you most need to untangle. ∆
