Paso women faced terrifying ordeal at Vegas concert shooting “

PHOTO COURTESY CREATIVE COMMONS

W

e were in the front row when the shooting started.”

Paso Robles resident Amanda Bean was one of thousands of country music fans who attended the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas expecting a fun filled weekend of food, drink, and country music.

Instead, Bean and her friend, Ericka Taylor, found themselves running for their lives as a 65-year-old gunman with a high-powered assault rifle opened fire on the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, killing 59 people, including himself, and injuring more than 500 others.

“At first it sounded like pyrotechnics. People were looking around like, ‘Where are the fireworks?’” Bean told New Times. “As it kept going, it got louder. … When the music stopped, people started running from the stage.”

Bean said she and Taylor were forced to duck behind a metal barrier between the crowd and the front of the stage. Between volleys of gunfire, she said a group of people was helping others escape over the barrier. Taylor went over first, but Bean was unable to follow after her because the shooting had started again. She was finally helped over the barrier and began crawling under the stage. Under the stage Bean said she called her mother before hanging up and trying to find her friend.

“I was thinking, ‘I need to find my friend. I need to find her and I need get out,’” Bean said.

In a Facebook post to friends and family, Taylor’s mother, Nancy, said she received a video call from her daughter during the shooting.

Along with her post, Taylor’s mother included a photo from the call showing her daughter’s face surrounded by darkness.

“Nothing prepares a parent for a phone call from their daughter inside Jason Aldean’s band trailer [where] she ducked into, scared to death, as shots rang out and [you’re] seven hours away,” she wrote.

TRAGEDY IN VEGAS A lone gunman killed at least 59 people, including himself, and injured more than 500 others when he opened fire on an outdoor music festival from his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

Bean said that thankfully both she and Taylor had fully charged cell phones and were able to meet up again after being separated.

The two got a ride from a group of people transporting injured concertgoers to a nearby hospital. From there, Bean said they spent the night at the home of a friend’s relatives until the following day, when they could collect their car from the parking lot of the Excalibur hotel and casino and begin making their way back to Paso Robles. Bean said they arrived back Oct. 3.

Speaking to New Times shortly after arriving home, Bean said she was grateful for the individuals, nearly all total strangers, at the concert who helped her and Taylor, risking their own lives to shield them from the gunfire and escape the massacre.

“They were literally the reason we got out of there. … They put their lives on the line,” Bean said. “Even though this horrible thing

happened, there was still good in people who were willing to put others before themselves.”

As she reunites with her friends and family in SLO County and tries to move on from what happened that night in Las Vegas, Bean, a self-admitted music fan, already has tickets to another concert at the end of the month. Those tickets, she said, were purchased prior to her trip to Vegas.

“I love seeing music and I love seeing people perform live. I don’t want that taken away,” she said. “I’m definitely going to be more cautious of my surroundings, but I definitely plan on going.

I don’t want it to be something that beats me.”

In the wake of the shooting, residents planned a vigil for the victims on the Cal Poly campus Oct. 4. Another vigil, organized by Women’s March SLO, is scheduled for Oct. 14. The time and location of that event is to be determined. ∆ —Chris McGuinness

SLO kicks Columbus Day to the curb for Indigenous Peoples Day

Mona Olivas Tucker, chair of the Northern Chumash Tribe, thanked Harmon and the City Council, and tribal members led a prayer in a Chumash language.

“This is a remarkable thing; this is a wonderful thing. We are very appreciative,” Tucker said. “This is a benefit to us, to everybody throughout this region, this state, the United States, and the whole world to let us claim our ancestry and let everybody who’s a member of our community claim their ancestry.”

“Our ancestors were here 10,000 years and thrived,” she continued. “It really wasn’t that long ago that things changed.”

To celebrate SLO’s first Indigenous Peoples Day, the Northern Chumash Tribe will host a sunrise ceremony, open to the public, at 6:40 a.m. at Laguna Lake Park.

SLO joins a list of cities and counties that have also voted to retire Columbus Day. The city of Berkeley was the first, in 1992, followed by

San Luis Obispo will now recognize Indigenous Peoples Day instead of Columbus Day on Oct. 9, joining a growing number of U.S. cities that have distanced themselves from a holiday that many say celebrates a symbol of Native American genocide and oppression.

The city made it official on Oct. 3 with a proclamation at its City Council meeting.

Mayor Heidi Harmon, with members of the Northern Chumash Tribe behind her, recited the resolution to a full council chamber.

“San Luis Obispo is built on the homelands and villages of the indigenous peoples of this region,” Harmon read. “Indigenous Peoples Day shall reflect the ongoing struggles of indigenous people of this land and to celebrate the thriving culture and value that indigenous people add to our city.”

SLO County and Phillips 66 settle oil train lawsuit

Environmental activist groups are celebrating a win after oil giant Phillips 66 and SLO County entered into a settlement agreement in connection with a lawsuit over the company’s controversial plans to build a rail spur at their refinery on the Nipomo Mesa.

The settlement comes after a yearslong fight over the proposed rail spur, which would have allowed Phillips 66 to import crude oil by train to the refinery.

That plan was rejected by the SLO County Planning Commission in 2016, and the denial was upheld by the county Board of Supervisors on appeal. The company filed the suit to challenge that denial in SLO County Superior Court in October of last year.

On Oct. 2, several environmental groups announced the settlement, which still needs to be approved by a judge, and claimed victory after spending nearly three years raising concerns about the public safety and environmental impacts of the oil-carrying trains.

“I hope that this is the last nail in the coffin for the project,” Laurance Shinderman, a spokesman for the Mesa Refinery Watch Group, told New Times.

According to the settlement’s terms, Phillips 66 agrees to let the county’s denial of the project stand, and both parties will call for the lawsuit to be dismissed with prejudice. However, the settlement does not bar the company from refiling land use permit applications in the future, and calls for any determinations about environmentally sensitive habitat on the refinery’s property by the county, an issue which Phillips challenged in its lawsuit, would occur “anew and independent” of the previous rail spur decisions.

“No party concedes or admits the truth of any claim, defense, or disputed fact,” the proposed settlement stated.

While the settlement leaves the door open for Phillips to propose another rail spur project in the future, Shinderman said he and other rail spur opponents remained cautiously optimistic that the company was fi nished trying to push for the project.

“I think it’s been raised to such a high level of visibility that they would be hard pressed to continue,” he said.

“No is no. How many more times do they have to be told no?”

In the years since the project’s initial proposal, local activists like Shinderman joined with state and even national advocacy groups to oppose it, crowding public meetings, holding large public protests, and flooding the county with letters and petitions.

“This is a win for the citizens, environment, and economy of California,” said Andrew Christie, director of the Sierra Club’s Santa Lucia Chapter.

Phillips 66 confi rmed it had reached a settlement agreement, but did not respond to additional questions about future projects.

VIEWER DISCRETION

Cambria chooses a new director to join the board

After special meetings and a total of six hours the Cambria Community Services District board finally swore in a new member on Oct. 3.

With the exception of board director Harry Farmer, who abstained from the vote, the remaining three board members— director Jim Bahringer, Vice President Greg Sanders, and President Amanda Rice—voted in favor of Aaron Wharton.

“The role of a director is a policy maker,” Sanders said. “Aaron may not know where every nickel has been spent, but it’s the vision he has that means the most to me.”

Sanders also said that the 40-something Wharton would be a refreshing addition to the board because of his youth, as past members selected have traditionally “been on Medicare.”

Wharton is the owner of 927 Beer Company, a brewery located just off Main Street in Cambria. His wife has been a resident of Cambria since she was a child, and Wharton’s two daughters attend schools in the area.

Farmer abstained from the vote because his concern was whether Wharton would have enough time to dedicate to the board on top of being a business owner and family man.

“I’m not a place-holder candidate, I’m in this for the long haul,” Wharton said.

His platform includes pushing for more communication for the district and a fiscally responsible budget.

Wharton is taking the vacant seat left by former board member Michael Thompson, who announced his departure from the district during a board meeting in late August. The board will be down to four members again at the end of the month—as Sanders plans to leave the board Oct. 31— and will start the process of fi lling that seat in early November.

Paso mayor writes to Supervisor Peschong on affordable housing

The city of Paso Robles will ask the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors to consider dedicating an annual portion of city-generated property taxes to help fund affordable housing projects in Paso.

On Oct. 3, the Paso City Council unanimously authorized the submittal of a formal letter to SLO County 1st District Supervisor John Peschong, which was signed by Mayor Steve Martin, making the request.

Paso asks that the county earmark “up to 5 percent of the property taxes collected each year from property owners in the city of Paso to support the development of lowincome housing in this city.”

“The time has come for the city and county to effect real change in the inventory and cost of housing,” a draft of Martin’s letter reads. “These funds represent the ‘tipping point’ for organizations such as the Paso Housing Authority, Habitat for Humanity, People’s Self-Help Housing, and others to finance desperately needed housing.”

Martin said he’s hopeful the letter will spark some conversation at the supervisor level about affordable housing policies.

He said the policy endorsed in the letter would only affect taxpayers in the city of

6 • New Times • October 5 - October 12, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

Paso and the funds would only be used to bolster affordable housing projects within city limits.

“This is not something forced on anybody else,” Martin told New Times, but added in his letter that, “of course, this program could be made available to the other cities in the county if so desired by the Board of Supervisors.”

The county will discuss its current affordable housing policy—the Inclusionary Housing Program that requires housing developers build affordable units or pay in-lieu fees— in November, and the Homebuilders’ Association of the Central Coast has said it will advocate for its repeal. County supervisors Adam Hill and Bruce Gibson have opposed that stance and also called for starting a $5 million revolving fund dedicated to supporting affordable housing production.

In the wake of murmurs that the county’s inclusionary program is at risk, on Oct. 3, the SLO City Council passed a formal resolution supporting the program.

Peschong said he hadn’t received Martin’s letter by press time and declined to comment on its contents.

Cayucos moves forward on high school dilemma

After years of debate the Cayucos Elementary School District is making headway on the issue of where to send its students after eighth grade.

At the Sept. 27 meeting, the district board received a full report on the viable directions that the district could go in, prepared by an independent consultant, the Ochoa and Moore Law Firm.

District Superintendent Scott Smith

said that bringing the firm in to give their expert opinion would also bring in an unbiased opinion of the best options for the district to move forward with.

“We just hit the reset button and had them [the Ochoa and Moore Law Firm] look at all possible options they could think of, while listing the advantages and disadvantages of each,” Smith said.

During the spring the district reopened an old discussion of where its students will go for high school. Currently students do one of two things: get routed into Coast Union High School in Cambria or apply for an interdistrict transfer to Morro Bay High School.

The firm came up with a list of 10 options for the district, in descending order of complexity of implementation.

Of the 10, Smith made a recommendation of three options for the board to consider: unifying the district into a K-12 district giving parents a choice of where they want their student to attend; changing Cayucos from a component district of Coast Unified School District to a component district of San Luis Coastal; or pursue a memorandum of understanding between Cayucos, Coast Unified, and San Luis Coastal Unified School District that would allow students to attend high schools in either district.

At its Oct. 11 meeting, the board will give its input on Smith’s recommendations and possibly vote on the direction for the district to go in.

“I would just say that I’m playing my part by providing the district and public with an unbiased report and a recommendation. What the board decides is up to them,” Smith said. Δ —Karen Garcia

For their health

Grover Beach and Cambria consider offering insurance to council and board members

F

or many Americans, the issue of health insurance has become something of a roller coaster ride.

Between multiple failed attempts by the Republican-led Congress to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, and recent calls from some Democrats and their constituents for a government-run single-payer health care system, no one seems to be sure what the future of their own benefits may look like.

SLO County’s elected officials appear to be no exception. In recent months, officials at two entities have been considering whether to offer their members health insurance benefits. While the move may create a perk to encourage citizens to run for office in the future, some worry about the cost of providing such benefits at the expense of taxpayers.

Members of the Grover Beach City Council are considering offering health insurance benefits to future council members as part of a larger package that includes increasing council stipends and providing city-issued laptops or tablets for their technology needs.

According to a survey conducted by the city, Grover Beach is the only one of SLO County’s cities that does not offer health

insurance benefits to council members and the mayor. The council discussed the possibility of offering such benefits at a Sept. 18 meeting.

According to council members, any addition of insurance benefits wouldn’t go into effect until after the next election, meaning officials like Mayor John Shoals, who will be termed out by then, won’t be eligible. Those in support of offering the benefits, like Councilmember Mariam Shah, believe that, coupled with an increased stipend, they might further encourage citizens to run for office in the future.

“In the interest of getting the best people, I think people do need to make their time worthwhile on some level,” said Shah, who along with Councilmember Barbara Nicolls ran unopposed in the 2016 election. “I think if it encourages one person to run, I’m for it.”

But offering the benefits won’t come cheap.

Estimates from city staff placed the cost of offering medical, dental, and vision insurance benefits between $42,435 to $111,474 annually to cover all five council members.

City Manager Matthew Bronson said the upper range also represented scenarios where the coverage includes not only council members but their families as well.

The price tag raised concerns from Councilmember Jeff Lee. “I struggle with the medical just because of the cost of it associated with the potential general fund hit,” Lee said.

Bronson said that the cost estimates were based on a number of assumptions, including that all the members would opt into receiving insurance rather than choosing to keep insurance they already might have through their work or spouses.

“In the cases of some council members, or perhaps all council members, you may receive benefits from other places,” Bronson said. “Future councils may receive benefits from other places. It would not be a requirement that you take the benefits, but that you have that option available to you as a member of the council.”

In the end, the council gave direction to city staff to look into providing insurance benefits that were comparable to those offers to city employees and, like the proposed stipends, will not go into effect until after the next election. That move may help to insulate the council from public backlash.

“I see no reason not to protect ourselves from appearing greedy [and] to make it effective along with the stipends,” Nicolls said. “That seems fair to me.”

The council took no action on the issue at the Sept. 18 meeting, and the item, along with the stipends, will come back to them for a formal vote at a future meeting.

Grover Beach isn’t the only SLO County government thinking of offering heath insurance benefits to its elected officials.

About 50 miles north of the city, members of the Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) briefly discussed the issue at their Sept. 28 regular meeting.

According to a CCSD staff report, the cost of providing insurance for all five board members could range from $35,494 to $92,682 per year. Similar to Grover Beach, the actual cost depends on how many of the five board members opt in, and whether or not any potential health insurance package will cover one or more or their family members. At least one board member, President Amanda Rice, indicated that she would likely want to get the insurance if it was offered to members.

“I have a dog in the fight in that I need health insurance,” Rice said. “But the board is the one that makes the decision whether or not that’s a benefit they want to offer.”

The members of the board set aside further discussion of the issue and directed staff to go back to the drawing board and explore alternatives after hearing from the public, some of whom raised concerns about the cost and uncertainy swirling around health care at the national level.

“We really don’t know what the health insurance system is going to look like even a few months from now, much less a year from now,” Cambria resident Don Howell said. “Spending time on this is probably not the best idea.” ∆ Staff Writer Chris McGuinness can be reached at cmcguinness@newtimesslo.com, or on Twitter at @CWMcGuinness.

UNITED On the day of Trump’s announcement to end DACA, a crowd gathered on Marsh and Pepper streets to rally for the program and its recipients.

This land is yours While Trump’s administration works to end a federal policy that aids undocumented student success, local residents support those who are affected

BY KAREN GARCIA

T

he earliest memories Erik Garcia has of growing up in California are of living in Oakland and then later in Modesto. He remembers going to flea markets where his dad had a stand selling a number of goods.

“We tried to have our own business, but obviously like with most businesses there are hit and misses, but that was what we could do to support ourselves,” Garcia said.

He is now in his 20s and a student at Cal Poly, about to begin a journey that follows a version of the American dream, just like everyone else. But unlike many, Garcia carries around a label you can’t see simply by looking at him. He’s an undocumented immigrant, and until he was in college, it wasn’t something he was very open about.

Now, Garcia is sharing his immigration status on the heels of President Donald Trump administration’s announcement to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

In 2012, then-President Barack Obama signed an executive order that created DACA, allowing certain young undocumented immigrants brought to this country before the age of 16 to apply for two-year work permits— that could be renewed indefinitely.

Another requirement for eligibility is to be enrolled in school, graduated, or obtaining a certification of completion from high school or a GED. While the program was created to protect those young people from deportation, it did not create a path to citizenship.

DACA also worked as a complement to the California Dream Act, a state law that enables undocumented students to apply for and receive private scholarships, state financial aid, university grants, and

community college fee waivers.

But on Sept. 5, the Trump administration said it would phase out DACA and no longer accept new DACA applications. Congress must now find a replacement for the program, to codify the legal protections for its recipients. The bill proposed to take its place is the DREAM Act, or the Development Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act. If passed, this federal law would create a path to legal residency for undocumented youth.

Local U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara), from California’s 24th Congressional District, is calling on Congress for an immediate vote on the proposed law by signing a discharge petition.

Carbajal said that he and others are signing the petition in the hope that they can collect signatures from 218 members of Congress, which will force a vote on the act.

“The DREAM Act has been passed by the Senate in previous Congresses in a bipartisan way, and the House hasn’t been able to move forward with it,” he told New Times.

Until Congress walks down that path, though, Garcia and the other 800,000 young undocumented immigrants currently estimated to have been DACA recipients nationwide are left in limbo. According to the Migration Policy Institute, out of the 379,000 immigrants immediately eligible for DACA in California, about 2,000 reside in San Luis Obispo County.

While many DACA students are now uncertain about what the future holds, a handful of Central Coast residents, organizations, and educational institutions have rallied behind them by protesting, sharing their personal stories, and offering support.

Defending your status

Garcia and his family left Sain Alto Zacatecas, Mexico, when he was just a year old. But his status wasn’t something that he shared with his fellow classmates or anyone until recently.

“Whenever you disclose your immigration status it’s almost like you have to defend yourself, ‘I came here because of this or that,’ and you never knew how someone would react,” he said.

As a teenager, when Garcia finally understood what his immigration status meant, he felt ashamed.

“In high school you’re so impressionable that you think you’re going to be outted because you’re ‘illegal.’ That was the word they used,” Garcia said.

But many factors in his life gave Garcia the encouragement to get to his educational finish line, which is graduating college, and he was quick to give credit to his family members for their help.

“Like any parents, they’ve always told me that they wanted what’s best for me and that’s why they’ve made the choices that they have,” Garcia said.

But his biggest source of encouragement is his older brother, who wasn’t fortunate enough to have an opportunity to benefit from a program like DACA. Garcia said that his brother had applied to a university in Arizona to pursue an education in aerospace engineering.

“They made him go through so many hoops just to go to the school. They even went as far as saying they would allow him to attend the school, but they would have to report him to immigration,” Garcia said.

His brother’s inability to go to college pushed Garcia to figure out how he could

attend university some day. The DACA program was put into place while Garcia was in community college so he used it to continue his educational path at Cal Poly, where he is currently completing his last quarter.

He will be graduating with a double major in history and political science and will be the first in his family to earn a college degree.

“The five years that we [DACA students] have been given with this program, we have done right by this country and we have shown that we can do a lot for this country,” he said.

New DACA applications are no longer being accepted, but current permit holders were allowed to renew their permits one more time by Oct. 5—if their current permit expires before March 5, 2018.

Garcia was one of the lucky ones, able to renew his permit for two more years under the DACA program.

When he has his diploma, he’s hoping to apply his knowledge to local government.

But figuring out the future isn’t as clear as it once was.

“When you’re planning a career in advance, two years isn’t enough. You want to plan out maybe five or 10 years down the line, but we’re kind of back to living before DACA, just day to day,” he said.

Different perspectives

Near the courtyard in front of the Cultural and Performing Arts Center on the Cuesta College campus in SLO, the smell of refried beans, rice, and chicken fajitas wafted in the air.

The college hosted a resource fair, “Sharing the Dream,” on Sept. 22 to inform students, faculty, and the community about resources that are available to DACA recipients and undocumented immigrants as well as to show their support of this population.

Carol Jones was sitting on a bench with her husband, eating a plate of food. She attended the event because she’s unsure and afraid of what’s going to happen to many people in her community, so she wants to become more informed. One of many reasons this topic is important to Jones is that when her family was in a time of need, an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador was there to help.

“It always makes me cry when I tell this story, but I had a woman come to my door and ask for work.” After losing her husband in a car accident and needing to support her children, the woman came to Jones’ home. “She helped me raise my daughter when I had to go back to work to help support my family,” Jones said as she wiped away a tear.

That’s the whole point of the event, said Que Dang, director of student equity and success at Cuesta.

“We’re sending a message to our students, their families, and our community that everyone is welcome here,” Dang said. “We care about their success, and we don’t care about their immigration status.”

In the corner of Dang’s office window is a sticker that reads “campus ally for undocumented students.” It’s a sign to students, so they know that if they have questions or concerns about DACA, they can ask them in her office with the promise of complete confidentiality.

Dang said she has a personal investment in being an ally to immigrants because she was a refugee from Vietnam and understands the struggle of coming to a new country for a better life. After

the Vietnam War, Dang and her family traveled to the United States when she was just 3 years old. But she said the political climate was different then, and the U.S. was more open to immigrants.

“My parents didn’t speak English, didn’t have money, and I literally witnessed what it was for people to help us and to have a government that was very welcoming,” Dang said.

She and her three brothers all have college degrees and well-paying jobs because government support was available in the form of sponsorships and job training. Dang said she is constantly thinking about students today, who are growing up without the same kind of safety net or cultural support that she had.

“They’re in a different place and their road is much bumpier than mine, but I can see what happens when we open our country to support immigrants and refugees,” she said. “I’m a product of that.”

Despite the recent news and the uncertainty that Dang sees in students, she said the activism and support that has come out of the struggles surrounding DACA and its recipients has been huge.

“People are really using their voices to advocate for their communities. I see a lot of folks from all over the county who don’t have to worry about their immigration status but they’re there supporting our students and I think that’s inspiring,” Dang said.

Supporting the dream

Standing at a podium in front of his Santa Maria office in September, Rep. Carbajal urged his fellow members of Congress to pass legislation to protect DACA recipients.

“Right now, nearly 1 million young people are unfairly living with great uncertainty about their future. The 800,000 patriotic young dreamers in communities across the country including thousands on the Central Coast are Americans in every way except on paper,” Carbajal said.

Alba Rodriguez, of Santa Maria, was among the many faces calling for action, supporting the program, or sharing personal stories that day in front of Carbajal’s office. Taking her position at the podium, Rodriguez shared the story of her daughter, a student at Pioneer Valley High School in Santa Maria.

Rodriguez brought her daughter to the U.S. from Baja California when her daughter was just 10 months old. She spoke to New Times in Spanish, saying that when she was growing up, she didn’t have a chance to pursue an education because her father was a single parent and couldn’t afford to send her to school.

“I came here because I was thinking of a better future for my children and an education that my dad couldn’t give me.

I didn’t want to repeat my story with my children; I want them to be educated and to have a better life,” she said.

For more than 25 years, Rodriguez has worked in the fields from sunrise to sunset, picking strawberries and blueberries to support her family.

“I don’t feel bad about working in the fields, because it’s what I can do and I’m doing something good in this country,” she said.

Although she works hard to make a living, it’s not the kind of job that she wants her daughter to have.

“But I tell my daughter we should

be thankful to God that we are in this country that has blessed us with food, jobs, a home, and opportunities,” she said.

Rodriguez’s daughter, a DACA recipient, is currently ranked in the top 20 academic achievers at Pioneer Valley.

“When we found out about DACA, it was exciting news for all of us. It was like a light inside of a dark tunnel for my daughter and I,” she said.

Now Rodriquez’s daughter is currently in her senior year and is applying to colleges with the hopes of becoming a veterinarian.

She was able to renew her application with DACA for two more years, but it’s what happens beyond those two years that she and her mother are worried about.

“It fills my heart with sadness to know that my daughter, who has a lot of dreams to continue her education at a university, has an uncertain future,” Rodriguez said.

It’s a constant topic of conversation in Rodriguez’s house. She said her daughter has become concerned about being deported because the government received all of her personal information when she applied for DACA. Rodriguez said she has to stay strong for her daughter and continue to encourage her to move forward in this difficult time.

“I tell her, ‘You have been doing everything right, and we have to have faith in God. Whatever happens you are going to continue your education,’” she said.

Attending community, school, and local meetings on the subject gives Rodriguez some peace of mind that she is well informed on what’s happening with DACA. It also gives her the strength to offer encouragement to other parents of DACA recipients.

“I want to feel strong and have the right information when I meet someone that has children who are DACA recipients, so I can encourage them and tell them not to worry, because this will have a happy ending and there will be a future for our children,” she said.

Sharing encouragement

At a young age, Lucio Casiano helped his mother in the fields picking strawberries. He remembers the hard work that they did together to support themselves.

Casiano immigrated to the U.S. in 2000 from Oaxaca, Mexico, but he was so young that his experience of traveling across the desert felt like a fun adventure.

“I remember walking with our guide, in front of him or even holding his hand. My poor mom, she was in back walking as fast if she could because if immigration caught us we could possibly be separated,” he said.

Casiano and his mother went straight to Santa Maria from Mexico and stayed in the area, but starting a new life wasn’t easy.

He remembers a time when they lived in a garage with one bed, looked for dinner in the trash when they couldn’t afford food, and hardly had enough clothing to wear.

In junior high, he owned one pair of pants and two shirts that his mom would wash immediately after school so he could have clean clothes for the next day.

Seeing his mom working in the fields every day, rain or shine, motivated Casiano to step it up and better his and his mother’s lives.

“One day, my mom put a strawberry picking cart and a backpack in front of me and said, ‘Choose. Whatever you choose,

‘We’re sending a message to our students, their families, and our community that everyone is welcome here.’

I’ll support you,’” he said.

Picking up the backpack, he chose to go back to school.

After three years of working in the fields alongside his mom, Casiano enrolled at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria.

He’s now 29 years old and graduated from Cal Poly with the support of his mother and DACA. He currently works for the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District as a bilingual instructional aide.

Fall wine harvest

C

ombine the Central Coast’s greatest qualities, the ocean and vineyards, and you’ve got the SLO Wine Country Association’s Harvest on the Coast. The event is a weekend-long festivity where locals and wine enthusiasts alike can enjoy all the varieties that the Central Coast has to offer.

Going into its 27th year now, executive director of the association Heather Mura said that this event is unique to the area because it celebrates the end of the harvest for vineyard farmers.

“This event really takes place at the tail end of the harvest so it really gives winemakers a chance to let their hair down and enjoy it,” Mura said.

While the harvest is a way to showcase farmers and their crop, the event also features a local nonprofit that the association feels has made a difference to the county. This year the Food Bank Coalition of SLO will be the beneficiary of money raised from the “fund-a-need” portion of the live auction that takes place on Nov. 4.

Mura said that the food bank was selected and approved by the board of the association because it educates children about making healthy food choices by way of its farmers’ market program.

“Their program is really helping connect food to children and to teach them where their food comes from,” she said.

Presents

The food bank partners with schools and after-school programs across the county to provide fresh produce to students in need. The program creates the feeling of a real farmers market by providing students with reusable bags and mock money, or what they call “food bank bucks.” The students are then given the opportunity to choose which produce they would like and how much they would like to purchase to take home to share with their families. On average, students take home 15 pounds of produce, typically in-season items such as potatoes, oranges, cabbage, pears, and red-leaf lettuce, to name a few. The goal of the program is

to teach students how to shop for fresh produce while also learning about each item’s nutritional value.

Mura said at last year’s Harvest on the Coast, the SLO Wine Country Association was able to raise about $15,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of SLO County.

“Raising this kind of money really changes the game for a lot of these local nonprofits that are really helping their communities,” she said.

Harvest on the Coast is an event that allows attendees to try the varying wines that farmers have created over the season, particularly the chardonnays and pinot noirs that excel in this coastal region.

From Friday, Nov.3, to Sunday, Nov. 5, attendees can enjoy the sea breeze and ocean views at the Avila Beach Golf Resort along with a Grand Tasting and Wine PHOTO COURTESY OF HEATHER MURA

Fast Facts

SLO Community Resources is a new app created by a group of local volunteers to help individuals find contacts and links to resources in SLO County. This onestop source is an idea sparked by Linda Rawlings who is an active volunteer with the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. Her ongoing conversations with visitors at the center made her aware that people weren’t sure how to find resources for medical treatment, employment assistance, children’s clothing, and other support—so the seed was planted and steps to creating the app went into motion.

CCE programs also empower local governments to control electricity purchasing decisions for the benefit of their communities rather than ceding that control to the state’s investor-owned utilities. There are eight CCE programs currently operating in California (Sonoma Clean Power, Monterey Bay Community Power, Silicon Valley Clean Energy, Lancaster Choice Energy, and others), with 10 more launching in 2018, and at least 17 additional jurisdictions exploring and/or in the planning stages.

You may have also heard that San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties are exploring the possibility of creating our own Tri-County CCE program. Over the last few years, we conducted a feasibility study to evaluate many scenarios to inform the best way forward. The results of the study, which were released in early September (see “Power down?” Sept. 21), determined that a program across the three counties was unfavorable since it would have to cross two different utility companies’ territories. However, the results of the study showed that a program in San Luis Obispo County had potential.

I think Community Choice Energy is an opportunity worthy of continued exploration. Here’s why:

Economic benefits: The economics of solar, batteries, and electric vehicles are improving rapidly, putting us on course in the next few years to replace the fossil fuels currently powering our homes, businesses, and transportation with renewably sourced electricity. By working in partnership with our neighboring communities, a CCE program can act as an economic engine to speed up the renewable energy transition and help to bolster our economy post-Diablo Canyon.

Furthermore, CCE is an opportunity for us to reimagine our partnership with PG&E, who will be a critical ally helping us build the smart grid necessary to achieve 100 percent renewable electricity.

Environmental benefits: CCEs enable local governments to leverage the purchasing power of its residents and businesses to both purchase and generate electricity for the community from clean sources such as wind and solar. A higher percentage of renewable electricity means we are reducing our impact on the environment from fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions, helping to combat the harmful effects of climate change.

Community benefits: CCEs have been proven to offer electricity at competitive rates with more renewable energy. Sonoma Clean Power, serving Sonoma County communities, has reported cheaper rates and higher renewable energy content than the investor-owned utilities, saving

customers more than $50 million since its start in May 2014. Additionally, revenues generated from the sale of electricity can be invested back into the community to support our netzero vision and values. For example, we can fund energy efficiency to make our homes and businesses more comfortable and affordable, incentivize electric vehicles and build charging stations, and install local solar. These investments translate into good paying jobs that support our communities and strengthen our economy.

Speaking of jobs and the economy, on Oct. 19, the SLO Chamber of Commerce is hosting a forum to talk about becoming a net-zero community. This event will feature leadership from the Republicanled city of Lancaster located in Southern California. Lancaster is trailblazing the way to net-zero energy all while saving money and driving economic development.

At the center of their achievements are innovative community development policies and Lancaster Choice Energy, their own CCE program.

The City Council will consider the potential benefits of a CCE program for SLO and potential paths forward at a hearing on Dec. 5. I encourage you to get engaged in this conversation—come to the chamber’s Becoming a NetZero Community event; give the City Council feedback.

With a forward-thinking council, supportive staff, an engaged community, and perfect weather, we are well set up to be a leader in the renewable energy future. We can create the jobs we need and the future our children demand while being fiscally responsible. Now is the time. It wasn’t too long ago that many would have suggested that a 100 percent clean energy future was

impossible. Now we can make the impossible the inevitable. ∆ Heidi Harmon is the mayor of San Luis Obispo. Send comments through the editor at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Balanced trade for a green economy

I agree with David Deick in his enthusiastic commentary (“Get real,” Sept. 28); we need to be working now on a post-fossil-fuel economy. But whether California can go far enough on this road without national policy changes is questionable. We are already seeing excellent steps forward at the California state and local level. Alternative powered electricity, including rooftop solar, has proceeded well, but it received tax credits from the federal government. Hybrid and electric vehicles are seeing significant breakthrough improvements, but cheap fossil fuels have increased the demand for inefficient SUVs and trucks. We need dependable carbon-lowering incentives that will impact economic decisions.

The devastating environmental costs of carbon pollution must be reflected in the market price. This could best be done with a steadily rising carbon fee and benefit program. The fee could be returned to consumers on a per capita basis. For the program to work, there is a need for border adjustments to encourage importers to lessen carbon content and allow exports to be competitive. Studies, including the MIT global climate model, have shown this would be successful at reducing carbon emissions while COMMENTARY continued page 16

increasing economic growth.

The synergy of green manufacturing is also vital for our future economy. We need a balanced trade policy. I strongly disagree with the “free trade” argument that has China doing our manufacturing jobs in the “green economy.” Currently, the U.S. has a $350 billion trade deficit with China. China has intentionally targeted the American solar panel market and intends to dominate future electric car production. Recent U.S. demand (with U.S. tax credits) helped grow the subsidized Chinese solar panel industry.

Will we do the same with electric cars?

“Free Trade” is a myth, and “Fair Trade” is indefinable; Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump both want “Fair Trade.”

We need Balanced Trade. Unbalanced trade is undermining American workers.

The imagined threat of a “trade war” is a mindset that continues to blind our politics.

We are already in a trade war. U.S. workers are being defeated by Wall Street and China.

Let’s build a post-fossil-fuel economy.

Let’s massively increase our green manufacturing. Let’s build a green economy that works for U.S. workers and Main Street—as well as the environment.

California can lead the way, but let’s take our country with us.

Housing reality

Once again, I find myself reading about the affordable housing challenge in SLO County (“The housing predicament,” Sept. 28) with lots of data presented confirming the problem, lots of chatter from our supervisors echoing concern, yet no real solutions presented. That’s because, in reality, there are no solutions and many just don’t want to say so.

I’ve lived in SLO County since 1991 and little has changed regarding this matter.

There were several challenges when I arrived and those same challenges remain today. At the top of the list are the hiking and bicycle-riding lefties and their friends, the environmentalists, who, rather than growth, prefer fewer cars and even fewer people. They have money and passion and actively interfere with any plans for growth.

Then you have retired folks like me who escaped big, ugly cities like LA, Bakersfield, and Fresno to find this oasis. Why exactly would I want growth? Do I really need TGI Fridays, IKEA or, God forgive, Trump Tower? Would more traffic on the 101 through Shell Beach make my life better? I think the answer is obvious: a big fat NO! So who’s left? Cal Poly students who would probably side with the environmentalists. Then there are the politicians who tend to dance the dance, trying not to commit themselves to one side or the other. And finally, there’s the business community that has a legitimate challenge to attract workers due to the high price of housing. They seem to be the only influential group that really wants growth.

The reality is we’re following in the footsteps of Santa Barbara where the median home price is around $950,000.

Supply and demand rules the matter with many wanting to live here and just as many doing all they can to limit growth.

Our future will be grindingly slow growth with ever-increasing property values. And although that’s good for some, it will never help create affordable housing.

Two wrongs don’t make a right

The firestorm that has broken out between President Trump and the National Football League (NFL) over our nation’s flag and the national anthem only proves one thing: Two wrongs don’t make a right.

How can both sides be so wrong?

Last season, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started it by taking a knee during the national anthem as his way of protesting for the Black Lives Matter movement. He claimed our flag was a symbol of oppression to him, in utter ignorance of the fact that men and women have fought and died for that flag so he could exercise his freedom of speech.

Should we like what he did? No. Was it an inappropriate act of disrespect?

Absolutely. But should we defend his right to do what he did as free speech, despite not liking what he did? Of course.

Then Donald Trump had to jump into the fray by calling NFL protesters “SOBs” and asking the NFL to fire them for disrespecting our flag. Whole teams took a knee or stood arm-in-arm during recent games to protest Trump’s remarks. Trump had to be hoping that his comments would stir support for our flag and what it represents. But Trump threw even more gas on that fire while tarnishing his presidency and revealing his limited understanding of our Constitution.

Then enter Pittsburg Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who condemned the one member of his team—a decorated Army veteran— who exercised his right to free speech by standing up with his hand over his heart to honor the flag. That team member served three tours of duty in Afghanistan, earning a Bronze Star for bravery, so that we could enjoy the right of free speech. If anything, Tomlin’s rant was worse than Trump’s.

So where do we find ourselves now?

Trump’s incendiary comments and the stridence of his detractors have suddenly made the flag a symbol of resistance to Trump rather than a symbol of honor for our great nation.

Have we lost our way? It seems so.

Instead of wasting time and energy on demonstrations and riots, it’s high time these movements seize the opportunity to join together with the NFL, as well as law enforcement and our nation’s leaders, to do something positive in combating the violence on the streets of Chicago and other high black-on-black crime cities like Detroit, New Orleans, St. Louis, or Dallas.

Constantly protesting is nothing more than a quest for notoriety. Doing something LETTERS continued page 17

constructive and humble to actually solve the problem is the nobler cause.

If we set our minds to make such things happen to soothe these roiling waters, perhaps then we can bring about racial equality and social justice.

Paso Robles does care about animals

When my wife and I moved into our first house in Paso Robles we were adopted by a cat. The beautiful black-and-white feline was sitting on the back porch of our new home. We dubbed him “Freebie.”

Freebie became a part of our lives for nearly 20 years. During that time he totally used all of his “nine lives.” He got hurt, lost, and wandered into the most interesting places. Always, he bounced back. Freebie was aloof, only occasionally blessing us with a snuggle and a purr, until late in his life when he would seek us out. By then he was in need of warmth and comfort in our laps. Even then he would occasionally show a burst of energy and bound up and down the stairs.

The day came, as it always does, when the kitten inside Freebie could play no more. He was so old and so sick and so unhappy and we had to do the hard thing, but the right thing. We had to say goodbye.

I say all of this for the people who seem to think I, or anyone on the Paso Robles City Council, have no feelings for animals.

The county’s position is that one centralized animal shelter will serve the entire county best. That approach will cost the people of Paso Robles approximately $485,000 per year. That’s $485,000 that will have to come out of roads, public safety, and other community services. It seems the right thing that we at least look at other

ways to provide caring and humane animal control services before shifting those funds.

We and other cities are working to see if several smaller, community-based shelters might be more cost effective.

But, that doesn’t mean we don’t care for animals or that we want to kill animals.

The city of Paso Robles does not intend to kill animals to save money. We have asked for a delay in planning for a new, centralized, animal shelter to see if we can find a better, less expensive, way. The Board of Supervisors said “no.” We will try to complete our search for alternatives by the Oct. 31 deadline.

If we can’t finish by then, or if we do and don’t find a humane, cost-effective alternative, we will be forced to move resources from existing services to pay for the county’s expensive plan.

Steven W. Martin mayor of Paso Robles

A good laugh

New Times’ article about SLO County deciding not to switch to a new election model (“Get out to vote,” Sept. 28) made me laugh! I could hardly believe what I was reading. A local Republican leader opposes vote-by-mail because it might, “... disenfranchise ... minorities ... .” I don’t care what anyone else says, local Republicans have a great sense of humor.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ROBERT C. CUDDY

A theory about violent protesters

A

ntifa is all the buzz these days and the press is chittering with speculation wondering which is worse, the anti-fascist left or the white supremacist movement that has taken such firm hold on so many of the nation’s institutions.

This is maddening not only because it promotes yet another false equivalency but also because it overlooks the most salient point about Antifa, namely that it is likely the work not of free genuine protesters and advocates of freedom, but is actually propelled by, and may have been created by, the right wing to discredit the left.

I don’t believe for one second that these menacing, masked thugs calling themselves Antifa are anything other than a front group for the white supremacist movement.

OK, I know that sounds all conspiracy theorist and like a left-wing version of a delusional Al Fonzi rant. But, unlike Al, I’m not going to omit or distort information or make stuff up, so bear with me. I confess up front that I can’t prove any of this. I am merely postulating a scenario that seems plausible if not probable.

Let’s start with this question: Who benefits from the masked marauders who pretend to be protectors of freedom? It isn’t those protesting oppression at UC Berkeley and elsewhere. Antifa is the last thing they want.

I’ve participated in my share of protests and even organized a few, and one of the chief worries of organizers is trying to keep the focus on their particular message: stop the war, fight discrimination, support equal rights for whomever.

When violence intrudes on the message, what do the conflict-addicted media pounce on? That’s right: the disruptions. Nary a word is spoken or printed about the original cause. This helps the white supremacist movement, and its mouthpieces in the media and culture like Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, and Steve Bannon.

and other mass movements.

I’ve seen it myself. When I managed a Sonoma County political campaign in the 1970s, an opponent sent someone to infiltrate our campaign (we spotted him right away). When I ran an anti-PATRIOT Act group in the San Francisco Bay area, the same thing happened. Later, at a ceremony honoring Americans who died in Iraq and urging an end to the war, a bunch of pro-war types stood across the street, slinging insults and trying to lure us into a tussle. They almost succeeded with one of our young protesters, a hothead.

That’s the thing about this kind of provocation: There is usually at least one guy (and it always is a guy, not a gal) and often more than one, who “don’t take no crap from nobody no how” and who is easily baited into disruptive and even illegal acts, never realizing that he is a fish on a right-wing hook.

The truly aggravating thing about this misdirection, this false equivalency, is that it works.

After the white supremacist movement’s murder of a protester in Charlottesville last month, President Trump famously said there are good people on both sides. His white supremacist attorney general, Alabama’s Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions, has likened protesters to the Ku Klux Klan, and is threatening to “crack down” on them.

The right’s television station, Fox, and shills (Coulter et al.) have, predictably, played up Antifa’s violence while giving a pass to right-wing violence, hatred, and oppression.

Even the responsible media have gotten into the act. CNN and others, for example, are exploring “the rise of the violent left.”

This spurious discussion has changed the subject dramatically. Can anyone tell me what the protesters were protesting against? Why were people on the streets in Charlottesville, Berkeley, Ferguson?

Who cares? The only thing that matters is that some protesters seem to have violent tendencies. The likelihood that

The truly aggravating thing about this misdirection, this false equivalency, is that it works.

How does this work? Let’s take a trip to the French-English dictionary, a short journey because we stop at “a’ as in “agent provocateur.” The words mean “inciting agent.” In politics, agents provocateurs are people who “try to incite the opponent to do counterproductive or ineffective acts to foster public disdain or provide a pretext for aggression against the opponent,” as Wikipedia puts it.

There’s nothing new about this. It is a time-honored activity practiced by people from all over the political spectrum.

Here in the U.S. we’d like to believe we have too much pride, dignity, and respect for fair play to stoop to such shabby tactics. But the history here of agents provocateurs is long and ugly.

Perhaps the most notorious was COINTELPRO, the counter-intelligence program in the 1960s and 1970s, under which the government infiltrated and undermined the civil rights, anti-war,

some of these violent people are in fact agents of the right who are inciting others to lawlessness goes unreported along with the original cause of the demonstrators.

The lesson here is that the next time you tune in to the antics of Antifa— and other acting-out “protesters”— think about it. Who benefits from the disruptions? Is it beyond the pale to consider that those who benefit from the violence are creating or propelling the violence? History says it isn’t.

And don’t be so quick to say Antifa is worse than the white supremacists. They may very well be the same people. ∆ Bob Cuddy is an award-winning columnist, now retired and living in Arroyo Grande.

The Shredder

Blight fight!

G

ood evening fight fans! What a bout we have for you tonight!

In this corner, weighing in at 12 statewide members—including six elected officials and six members appointed from the public—is an “independent, quasi-judicial state agency” called the California Coastal Commission. The CCC is the reigning, undefeated champ that claims to dedicate its wins to the common people!

Let’s hear it for the CCC! And in this corner, weighing in at five local members elected by the public at large is the SLO County Board of Supervisors! They also claim to represent the people but they also have to appease local law enforcement and first responders, whose resources are severely hobbled by a limited budget. Let’s hear it for the SLOBOS! Tonight’s grand prize? What will become of Pirate’s Cove, a coastline jewel that’s lost some of its shine due to abuse by some users. The SLOBOS claims it’s fighting to restore the cove’s former glory by restricting its access. The CCC admits Pirate’s Cove has fallen on hard times but it has yet to see a county plan to fix it that it likes. Now the SLOBOS are going to have to fight for it!

OK, enough of my fight metaphor, but when it comes to Pirate’s Cove, it basically

sums up where we’re at, and to be honest, the conflict is making for strange bedfellows on the BOS. Get this!

Conservative 1st District Supervisor John Peschong and liberal 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill agreed to form an ad hoc committee to figure out a way to compromise with the CCC and finally get a management handle on Pirate’s Cove. Did you hear that? They agreed on something!

Judging from a letter the CCC sent to the BOS, limiting access hours and closing the parking lot at night are non-starters; however, the CCC’s 2014 proposal, which included trail improvements, restrooms, trash cans, bike racks, benches, and signage, are still a go if the BOS wants to move forward. It seems like the only thing currently in the BOS’s power is to paint both sides of the access road red as a fire lane.

Basically, it looks to me like Peschong and Hill’s ad hoc committee is going to get together and decide whether to take the 3-year-old deal or not. Maybe the ad hoc committee is a way for the BOS to save face and look like they had a choice. They do, after all, have emergency personnel telling them it’s a hard to manage the

area. Cal Fire said rescue calls have been doubling every year. SLO County Sheriff’s Department Commander Jim Voge said, “It’s not a safe area to be late at night.”

Meanwhile vocal members of the public, such as Terren Collins, told the board, Pirate’s Cove is “one of the top five star gazing spots in the county” and that closing it “is not the solution to crime.”

Brian LoConte added that closing or restricting access would be “punishing law-abiding people for a few bad apples.”

Can I offer a suggestion? The BOS should do what the CCC says it will allow, and then it should budget for more law enforcement presence. As Voge said, “I haven’t seen a lot of family activity in the hours of darkness. When you get up there late at night, you’ll have substance abuse, parties, attempted suicides, at least one sexual assault since May.” Until the “bad apples” no longer feel comfortable bringing their bad behavior to Pirate’s Cove, good apples are going to avoid the area. Sprucing it up and increasing patrols will help transition the area from party central to family friendly. Frankly, that should be the CCC’s goal too, which means they should be willing to work with local authorities to implement some temporary measures to kick-start the process of kicking out the bums. You know, compromise? What if the CCC allowed the BOS to close the area at night for one month? What if the BOS hosted a family-friendly stargazing grand re-opening party? New Times will

provide the hot dogs! Just a thought.

I heard local public radio station KCBX interview 35th District Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham, who happened to be at the Mandalay Bay hotel to see the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show during the Las Vegas massacre.

He and his wife were thankfully safe and sound. Cunningham, a staunch Second Amendment advocate, has an 86 percent rating from the National Rifle Association. When KCBX asked if the mass shooting had changed his opinion, he trotted out the Republican Party marching orders that now isn’t the time to discuss it.

Yeah, let’s wait until no one cares. Don’t talk about gun control after a shooting.

Don’t talk about climate change after a natural disaster. Hey, but if some NFL football players take a knee in peaceful protest, instead of talking about the police violence against blacks that they’re protesting via an exercise of their First Amendment rights, let’s talk about how unpatriotic they are. Even the SLO County GOP got into the act, tweeting to call Anheuser-Busch to “WITHDRAW [ITS] SUPPORT OF THE NFL!” Hey SLO County GOP, how about a tweet about gun violence or police abuse of power? I guess we know which part of the Bill of Rights you care about. ∆ The Shredder advocates for the 11th Amendment, the right to hot dogs. Send ideas and comments to shredder@ newtimesslo.com.

Classical grandeur Opera SLO prepares for Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, starring soprano Rena Harms

I

n the world of stagecraft and classical music, nothing quite meets the size and scope of opera.

That’s something that Brian Asher Alhadeff, artistic director and conductor for Opera San Luis Obispo, is definitely cognizant of, especially when he programs an opera as iconic as Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, which shows Oct. 14 and 15 at the Cal Poly’s PAC. The production calls on more than 250 people both on and off stage, doing everything from designing costumes to singing arias.

“Opera is the Olympics of classical music,” Alhadeff said. “It’s where everything happens on one stage at the same time, of the design arts like lighting, costumes, sets, and props.

You’ve got orchestra, you’ve got chorus, you’ve got acting, you’ve got solos with the singers. …

So, it’s where all the roads converge in regards to classical music.”

To be true to that scope, Alhadeff has done everything possible to make sure the production is at the grand scale expected of world-class opera houses. It takes more than just a village, it takes the best musicians, dancers, and craftspeople from across the Central Coast and California to make the show a reality, he said.

Opera SLO brings in collaborators from the community, like the Central Coast Children’s Choir, Civic Ballet San Luis Obispo, Deyo Dance, and Studio @-Ryan’s American Dance.

When I heard her sing ‘Un bel di [vedremo],’ ‘One Fine Day,’ the title aria of the opera … it was just so powerful, that’s really what attracted me to Rena.” Δ Sun Managing Editor Joe Payne is an avid opera fan. Contact him at jpayne@ santamariasun.com.

Just the type

THE DESIGNER Typeface designer Nina Stössinger is based in Brooklyn and teaches typeface at the Yale School of Art.

W

hen it’s done well, Nina Stössinger’s line of work is something people take for granted, but it’s the first thing the Swiss transplant notices when exploring a new city, as the different styles of words and signage pop out at her.

“When I travel somewhere else, there’s always a slightly different [font] culture,” Stössinger said.

The Brooklyn-based typeface designer’s work is currently on view in her first solo show, Type Design: A Journey, at Cal Poly’s University Art Gallery and follows the evolution of her work, from her first published font family through her more recent work, including typeface design, sketches, and lettering.

While Stössinger is happy to be in her field, it wasn’t always the destination.

“I didn’t even know this was a thing people did,” she said. “There aren’t many places to learn about this.”

Stössinger started out in web design and gradually became more interested in graphic design, which finally led her to the art of designing fonts. She studied

typeface at Zurich University of the Arts and at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She currently teaches type design at the Yale School of Art. “It impacts most of us every day,” Stössinger said. “It’s a very niche and specialized thing.”

Her work is a very practical thing since it needs to be readable, but there’s also some creativity to be found in the process.

“You’re designing a system of shapes that need to go together in any combination or language,” Stössinger said. “I think of it as a more functional than aesthetic thing but they overlap.”

Like any creator, Stössinger is hard pressed to choose a favorite among her projects, though she admitted to favoring a minimalist style (blame it on her Swiss heritage) and liking whatever font creation is the newest. Right now that’s Nordvest, which translates in English as Northwest.

32 • New Times • October 5 - October 12, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

IN PROGRESS Here, one can see Nina Stössinger’s process for creating her Nordvest font, which translates to Northwest.

“It kind of turns some of the conventions of typeface on its head,” Stössinger said. “I tried to see how far I could push the boundaries without being distracting.”

While there are fonts everyone hates on, Stössinger firmly believes that there aren’t really bad fonts, just bad font usage. Take the dreaded, overused Comic Sans for instance. It’s everywhere on emails, family newsletters, and even PowerPoint presentations. But according to Stössinger, it was originally designed to be used as part of a playful, cartoonish interface for Microsoft for a character known as Microsoft Bob. That interface never quite came to life, and instead, Comic Sans was dropped into Word for public consumption.

“People used it for everything, which didn’t help the matter,” Stössinger said. “I don’t think it’s a bad font. People just use it wrong.”

A good font, on the other hand, can fly under the radar. Stössinger said these fonts usually have consistency, a quality that asserts itself, and no one feature gets so loud that it overpowers the others.

After all, at its core, a font is supposed to enable written communication for things like books, music, and movies.

“I think the power of it is that most of us don’t think about the font as something that we’re reading, but it impacts the way we’re reading it,” Stössinger said. Δ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley wrote this article in the Geneva font at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

OLD FRIENDS Fleetwood Mac members Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie will play songs from their new duet albums as well as classic Fleetwood hits on Oct. 15, at Vina Robles Amphitheatre.

Together again Fleetwood Mac members Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie play Vina Robles Amphitheatre

G

enius and dysfunction seem to intertwine in Fleetwood Mac, arguably one of the most successful bands in rock history. They’ve sold more than 100 million records including 40 million copies of Rumours (1977), the eighth-highest-selling album of all time, but the band was just as famous for the duel relationship flameouts of John and Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

Buckingham stayed with Fleetwood Mac through the years, though he enjoyed a successful solo career at the same time. The entire group disbanded from 1995 to 1997. Christine disappeared into the British countryside in 1998 and didn’t return to the band until 2014. It now includes founding members John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, Buckingham, and Nicks, who reformed in 2014 to embark on their On with the Show tour.

To prepare for that tour, Buckingham invited Christine into Studio D of LA’s Village Recording Studio, where they recorded Tusk together, to see if they could re-spark their chemistry.

“It wasn’t that I was particularly skeptical,” Buckingham explained recently during a phone interview, “it’s just that we went into the sessions without any agenda.

She said she wanted to reconnect with her writing process, and Mick and I thought it would be good to get together early on.

She had been sending me bits and pieces of songs she’d been working on, and I had a great feeling about them.”

Buckingham, known as a studio wizard and master at fleshing out other people’s material, began to massage the songs as well as share songs of his own he’d been working on.

“The other thing is Christine had taken leave of the band for 15 years. It’s one thing to correspond across the Atlantic Ocean with her in her particular bubble and me in mine, and it was another to get

together in the same room and see if the chemistry was still there, the common bond and vocabulary. A lot of times, once you let that much time go, it can be hard to reclaim that former experience.”

Perhaps surprisingly to both, not only did their creative chemistry remain, it seemed to have grown stronger. Their songs clicked together, the voices blended seamlessly, and the songs the session generated were amazing.

“The light bulb went off and we thought, ‘Holy crap,’” said Buckingham, “and suddenly we started to think these songs we were working on could be a duet album.

It started to take on a life of its own, and we started becoming protective of the songs.”

What might have become a new Fleetwood Mac album instead became the eponymously named Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie album, which features Fleetwood founders Mick on drums and John on bass. The pair has already completed a summer U.S. tour, and next week they’ll embark on another

leg that’ll cross the country, with a stop at Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Sunday, Oct. 15 (8 p.m.; all ages; $60 to $100 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com).

“The album is a departure from the Fleetwood Mac thing and yet it’s still completely familiar,” Buckingham continued. “We were able to find that spot.

What the songs mean to me now is that we were able to navigate a willy-nilly process that happened in fits and starts and still turn it into something cohesive.

When we finished we thought, what took us so long [to worked together again]?”

Buckingham just turned 68, and yet he seems as creatively driven as he ever has.

McVie is proving there’s life after a decade and a half of reclusiveness. They both still have “it,” whatever that elusive “it” is. Critical acclaim for their new album is rolling in, but with all he’s achieved over his nearly 50-year career, do the accolades mean anything anymore?

“What you try to do is the best job you can,” Buckingham said thoughtfully.

“We made the album we wanted to make together, an album we wanted to tour with. After you’ve been in the business awhile, you begin to see that people constantly long for reinforcement, but if you look at every review, it can be a little self-defeating because if you’re going to buy into the good reviews, in theory you have to buy into the bad. For me, I’ve tried not to lose perspective on what I do, my craft as a songwriter. I’m still doing this for a set of reasons and I still have respect for what I do.

“The business model has always been to find the thing people want and to keep giving it to them, but that’s an idea we rejected after Rumours when we followed up with Tusk. We rejected the idea of chasing a brand, rejected the corporate formula, and rejected commercialism.

I think when that happened, I defined myself for the first time as someone who cared about art and aspired to be an artist, and I’ve tried over the years to continue to transcend stereotypes.”

Also as Vina Robles this week is the return of country star Lee Brice on Saturday, Oct. 7 (8 p.m.; all ages; $45 to $55 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com), with opening act Lewis Brice. Last year he sold out the venue, so if you want to go, get tickets quick.

it was a minor miracle. The Texas-based singer was never much for touring, especially to California, and to see him in such a small club was crazy.

Now something even crazier is happening! Gilmore is touring with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock as The Flatlanders, which the trio first formed in 1972, and if I’m not mistaken, this is their first time together in California. They’re playing this Thursday, Oct. 5, at the Fremont Theater (7 p.m.; all ages; $38.25 and $48.25 at Boo Boo’s and vallitix.com).

These three are basically responsible for the creation of alt-country music. Each on his own is a legend of Texas grassroots country music, and as a trio their chemistry and synergy is undeniable!

The only reason we’re seeing them is they’ve come west to play Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco. Thank your lucky stars!

Just how elusive are The Flatlanders?

Their initial 1972 recording session was never officially released, though that same year they played the Kerrville Folk Festival where they were named one of the winners of the New Folk Singer/ Songwriter competition. They played together through 1973 before disbanding, but by then they had a handful of cult fans. When they found success as solo performers, rumors about their early collaboration started floating, and in 1991, Rounder Records released the 1972 sessions as More a Legend Than a Band.

In 1998, they contributed songs to The Horse Whisperer soundtrack, and in 2002, they finally released a followup studio album, Now Again. Two more albums followed—Wheels of Fortune in 2004 and Hills and Valleys in 2009—and in 2012, on the 40th anniversary of their initial recording sessions, The Odessa Tapes were released captured from the original tapes, which had been lost for 40 years!

The Flatlanders were voted into the Austin Music Awards Hall of Fame in March 2016. For reasons I can’t fathom, ticket sales are soft on this Otter Productions Inc. show. These guys are legends! Forget what you were planning to do tonight and head down to the Fremont Theater. You may never get the chance to see these guys again.

COLLEGE HIGH JINKS The collegecentric music and art fest, Shabang, returns to Laguna Lake Park on Oct. 7.

ACTIVATE Local activist Joey Racano releases a new album this week with performances on Oct. 7, at Last Stage West, and Oct. 11, at the Merrimaker.

STARKEY from page 35

you at Tooth & Nail Winery this Friday, Oct. 6, when folk-pop act Kuinka (cooWINK-uh) presents their singular sound (5:30 p.m.; all ages; free), which has been described as “an electronic jolt into modern folk and Americana, waltzing along the grooved edges of dream-pop, synth-pop, and Brooklyn’s mid-aughts guitar-rock revival,” according to Vanyaland.

Formed by brothers Zach and Nathan Hamer, along with Miranda Zickler and Jillian Walker, this string band moves beyond Americana into uncharted territory.

“We’ve spent our time as a band in pursuit of a unique sound that captures our energy and essence,” Zickler said in press materials. “We’d love for our music to be a soundtrack to adventure. Our biggest goal as a collective is to fight the trend of apathy—to infuse everything we do with a sense of joy, and to affect positive change in the world to the best of our ability.”

Good Medicine also hosts country star Rodney Atkins at Tooth & Nail Winery next Thursday, Oct. 12 (6 p.m.; all ages; $35 presale at ticketfly.com or $40 at the door). He’s had No. 1 hits such as “Take A Back Road,” “It’s America,” “Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy),” “These Are My People,” “Watching You,” and “If You’re Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows).”

Joey sings

You might have heard Joey Racano’s name in conjunction with his local activism. The liberal watchdog is a frequent letter and commentary writer focused on both local and national concerns. He’s also a musician, and this week he’s releasing a new album, Midnight Medicine.

The CD release party will be held at Last Stage West on Highway 41, on Saturday, Oct. 7 (6 to 9 p.m.; all ages; free). Racano will accompany himself on acoustic guitar and he expects to have a couple friends who appear on the album sit in. Racano will also sit in with the weekly jam band session at Merrimaker in Baywood on Wednesday, Oct. 11 (7 to 11 p.m.; 21-and-older; free). Racano will join the band around 10 p.m.

Racano recorded the album with a drum track at his own Lupinesong Studio in Los Osos, and on it he plays lead and rhythm guitars, bass, and piano, and he sings lead and backing vocals. He had backing vocals help by Adam and Heather Flood, with Andrew Ingraffia and Laura Foxx on saxophones, and Jimmy Mancini and Jeff Pienack on harmonica.

The opening track, “In the Middle of the Night,” demonstrates Racano’s talking blues style that drifts into hiphop-style rap.

“Tell the Truth” has a Devo beat as Racano rails against corporations, mass media, and politicians: “Tell the truth, tell the truth. Why doesn’t anybody tell the truth?” he sings.

“Medicine Wheel,” which lampoon’s America’s pharmaceutical addiction, displays Racano’s gift for rhyme: “No man is made of stone or lives by bread alone/ We stand here on our own made up of flesh and bone/ Nobody is an island, no man is made of steel/ We’re all drugged into silence living here on the medicine wheel// But you’re a lucky fella, tucked under big brother’s umbrella/ Anytime that you’re feeling blue, big pharma’s got the drug for you.”

“Eight Ball Jones” has a more standard blues sound with a harmonicadriven melody and lyrics about a pool shark, “Saturday Cyberdate” showcases Racano’s piano chops, “Hello Baby

PHOTO COURTESY OF STORY ROAD

(Reunion Blues)” is another more standard blues track—I could imagine Lightnin’ Hopkins singing it—and the 40-minute, seven-song album ends with “Six String Savvy,” where Racano’s lead guitar prowess is on full display.

Check him out! Put a face to that letter-writing name!

More music …

THE CIA AND THE RUBE CIA handler Monty Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson, left) recruits pilot Barry Seal (Tom Cruise) into working for the CIA in reconnaissance, gunrunning, and worse.

American hubris

D

oug Liman (Swingers, The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow) directs Tom Cruise as Barry Seal, a pilot contracted by the CIA to run drugs in the late-’70s and ’80s. The screenplay by Gary Spinelli is based on real events. (115 min.)

Glen The Contras and the Sandinistas, the Iran-Contra scandal, the CIAbacked crack epidemic, Pablo Escobar and the Medellín cartel, Ron and Nancy Reagan’s “just say no” War on Drugs, General Noriega, Oliver North—you couldn’t make up a more implausible series of events or more ridiculous set of characters. Once again, truth is stranger than fiction, and it’s all tied together in the story of Seal, a TWA pilot who gets recruited by CIA handler Monty Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson). Schafer discovers Seal is sneaking in low-level contraband such as Cuban cigars on his flights and half extorts and half seduces him into being a CIA operative. It’s clear Seal is a risk taker who’s bored shuffling commuters between urban hubs so he jumps at the chance to take aerial photos of the burgeoning communist uprisings in Central America. The problem is the CIA doesn’t pay that well, so when drug dealer Jorge Ochoa (Alejandro Edda) asks Seal to carry drugs back to the states on his return flights for $2,000 a kilo, Seal does the math. Meanwhile Seal’s wife, Lucy (Sarah Wright), thinks her husband is still a TWA pilot, and Seal’s handler

AMERICAN MADE

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth, Anna? Matinee What’s it worth, Glen? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Schafer doesn’t really care what Seal does as long as he continues working for the CIA, which soon adds gunrunner to his resume. Before long Seal is running out of places to hide his money, which brings the FBI sniffing around, and things really start to fall apart when Lucy’s loser brother JB (Caleb Landry Jones) shows up with his hand out. Seal turned out to be exactly the right kind of rube for the CIA to exploit, and it’s all set against the late-’70s and ’80s sleaze culture. It’s an amazing story and even more amazing that Seal managed to keep it all afloat as long as he did.

Anna If the words “based on a true story” hadn’t flashed on screen before the first scene, I wouldn’t believe it was true. The wild ride of Seal’s life seems too fantastical and insane to be real, but truth being stranger than fiction wins out here. While I can’t say I’m too impressed with Cruise’s personal life, the guy’s acting chops are top of the line. Seal is able to charm, woo, and trick everyone he needs to in order to keep business alive and cold, hard cash flowing in. His world is not without trouble though, and soon

enough he’s forced to pack up his family in the middle of the night and move to Nowheresville, Arkansas. It isn’t the end of the road for his adventure yet, though.

Shafer shows up immediately and drives Barry to an empty airport, informing him that this, along with the 2,000 or so acres between it and Barry’s new home are his. The allure of more money and bigger business means Barry takes on partners, soon running drugs, guns, and money all over the Americas with wild abandon.

The guy’s a problem solver, a charmer, and is known as the “gringo that always delivers.”

Glen I definitely learned new info about this time in American history. For instance, I had no idea Seal was flying up Contra soldiers to train on his 2,000-acre spread in Mena, which the CIA has set up as a war games facility. I also didn’t know that many of the Contras who arrived simply hightailed it out of there and became illegal immigrants in the U.S. What a mess! This film also explores a few important ideas, the main one being that the CIA is a rogue organization more worried about the ends than the means.

Schafer is untouchable even though his actions lead to an enormous amount of illegal action. The entire situation was a debacle! The Contras didn’t really want to fight, so the weapons Seal delivered to them ended up in the hands of the drug cartels. The U.S.’s irrational fear of communism led us to engage with a lot of

bad people, General Noriega among them.

I’m sure this film skips over a lot of Seal’s travails in the name of entertainment, but the film works as an exploration of American hubris. We all too often believe we’re smart enough and cunning enough to control uncontrollable situations, and in the end, both Seal and the CIA proved to be inept fools who only made things worse. Maybe that’s the American way.

Anna At one point, the state police, DEA, and FBI all descend on Seal’s compound in a massive raid, yet a phone call from then-Gov. Bill Clinton has Seal walking out of there free as a bird.

It really is amazing that all of this was going down, and since my knowledge of the whole Iran-Contra scandal and what was going on around it is hazy at best, it was a buck wild ride to watch. (Give me a break, I was a toddler at the time, and history generally isn’t my jive.) The sheer craziness of Seal’s antics along with the scenes of him and his wife cramming cash into every nook and cranny, including burying it in the backyard, make for a pretty unbelievable tale of a man who much like Icarus flew too close to the sun and ultimately paid the price for his thrill-seeking adventures. It’s fast paced fun that will keep you entertained from beginning to end, and Cruise pulls off this larger-than-life character with gusto.

It’s not a movie I’ll look to own when it makes its way to DVD, but it’s worth an afternoon at the theater if you dig this sort of highflying adventure. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

Sunset Drive-In Directed by Michael Cuesta (L.I.E., Roadie, Kill the Messenger) and based on a character in Vince Flynn’s spy series, this first film in what clearly hopes to become a franchise is the origin story for counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp (Dylan O’Brien), who after witnessing the death of his fiancé, Katrina (Charlotte Vega), at the hands of terrorists, starts training to take out the cell that murdered her.

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Galaxy Battle of Sexes, the retelling of the 1973 sociopolitical tennis showdown between Billy Jean King (Emma Stone, La La Land) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carrell, The Office), is by no means a cinematic masterpiece, but it is a well-executed and enjoyable portrayal of the true story of a match that became an iconic battlefront in the American feminist movement.

As the movie starts we’re dropped into the chaotic life of King, who’s regarded as the top women’s player in the world. We see how she and the other female players face tremendous sexism from the male ringleaders of the tennis industry, always taking a back seat to the men’s game and earning significantly less money. King’s fiery nature is on display from the outset when

she refuses to accept less money than the men in an upcoming tournament, and then she mobilizes all the female players to quit the Association of Tennis Professionals.

The women start their own tennis tour, with the help of World Tennis magazine’s Gladys Heldman (a great Sarah Silverman), and begin to speak out strongly against gender discrimination. This all infuriates 55-year-old Riggs, a retired men’s tennis icon played excellently by Carrell. In an obnoxiously jovial and condescending manner, he complains that women’s tennis is just naturally inferior to men’s tennis, and that the ladies are being unreasonable.

Having just separated from his wife because of his gambling problem, Riggs starts calling up King and other players on the tour challenging them to a match, a “battle of the sexes.”

King initially turns down his offer, but after Riggs easily defeats Margaret Smith, one of the top female players, King feels

Driven by an anti-technology ideology, Kaczynski killed three people and injured 23 others. Before the FBI arrested him, his reign of terror spread throughout the country, even forcing major newspapers like The New York Times to print his 35,000-word manifesto to prevent further bombings.

obligated to take him on. Stone plays a fantastic King throughout. The beginningto-end tension between her unshakable conviction for respect and equality and society’s unwillingness to shed chauvinistic views is really well depicted.

Not without its flaws, Battle of the Sexes is entertaining and definitely gives you insight into why this match snowballed into the national spectacle that it was. Not only that, but it’s an interesting biography of King herself, her heroic ability to thrive under pressure as well as her grappling with her sexual identity behind the scenes.

My main issue with movie was that it spent a little too much time profiling Riggs, who really isn’t sympathetic or that important and is a symbol of the sexism of the time. The film moves at a fast pace, which leaves you wanting more contexts for the events. But the pace also facilitates a nice, breezy viewing experience, and one that’ll likely make repeated ones very enjoyable. (121 min.)

BLADE RUNNER 2049

Unabomber case was a not a “smoking gun” fingerprint or DNA match. Instead it occurred when Kaczynski’s brother noticed an odd turn of phrase “have their cake and eat it, too” in the manifesto, a phrase he’d read in past letters from his brother.

The show does a good job of portraying the day-to-day footwork of a massive, high profile investigation without getting too bogged down or boring, and it breaks up the drama surrounding the investigators with snippets of the angry, socially awkward Kaczynski, which Bettany nails to a tee.

The show still has some flaws.

At times, it seems to lean on a lot of common tropes of crime dramas.

Fitzgerald for example, is “haunted” by his work on the case, and finds himself sympathizing with Kaczynski’s views, so much so that his obsessive work on the case ruins his marriage. The show frequently shows Fitzgerald being ignored and even mocked by his FBI superiors, and they never give him much credit for his role in brining the Unabomber’s case to a close. However accurate they are to what really happened, both the “tortured cop” and “genius detective ignored by his superiors” tropes are well worn, and it feels like they are played up to increase the drama and suspense.

In total, Manhunt: Unabomber presents an excellent example of how to do a fictional version of a real-life case the right way: using the inherent drama, tension, and pathos of the actual events to create an engrossing, fascinating, narrative that makes you feel like an insider in a world that most of us, thankfully, will never have to experience in real life (eight, 60-min episodes).

This time around, the spy organization’s headquarters is destroyed and the world is held hostage by a drug lord (Julianna Moore), so the Brits team with an equally clandestine American spy organization called Statesman to save the world. Co-written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman, the film is based on the comic book series The Secret Service by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons.

People read reviews to determine if they should see a film, so let’s answer a few questions. Is it worth the price of admission to see Elton John do a flying karate kick in slow motion while smiling at the camera? I ask because for me, that was the film’s highlight. The film also boasts two Pugs, one that gets blown up (sad face) but the other that’s a puppy.

Cuteness! Is that worth the price of admission? Do you miss Burt Reynolds? I ask because Pedro Pascal as an American spy, code name Whiskey, is doing a passable Reynolds impression.

Basically, this new Kingsman installment is more Austin Powers than James Bond.

It’s a ridiculous exercise in excess that can’t seem to decide whether it’s a serious film or a spoof, and instead it feels like both and neither.

To its credit, the film does have some semi-serious commentary on the War on Drugs. Poppy (Moore) tries to extort the American president (Bruce Greenwood) into legalizing drugs so she can come out of hiding. She taints her illegal drug supply with something that will eventually kill users in about three days, but she’ll release the antidote if drugs are legalized. Hmm? See any holes in this scenario? The president sees it as a way to get rid of all drug users, but his Chief of Staff Fox (Emily Watson, slumming) reminds him that a lot of good people use drugs too, people’s children, parents, friends … and Chiefs of Staff!

With the president poised to let millions die, Eggsy and his new American friends are all that stand between a worldwide slaughter and saving the illegal drug trade’s cliental. Yes, it’s pretty morally confused. In between are a lot of loud fights, gun battles, car chases, and explosions. If that sounds like something you’d like to watch, have at it. I found it oppressive and dumb.

what that means?” Colin Firth’s character Harry Hart asks in both the original and this sequel. It’s a question that should be directed to director/co-writer Vaughn, who’s insulted his audience with this bombastic mess.

Yes, the film boasts an impressive cast, but it gives them nothing to do. Aside from Watson, it wastes the talents of Jeff Bridges and Halle Berry. Channing Tatum shows up for a scene and then is cryogenically frozen for half the film. Aside from Elton’s slo-mo karate kick, the only other moment of joy is when Mark Strong as British agent Merlin breaks into John Denver’s “Take Me Home, County Roads” to draw the bad guys in before he triggers a land mind. Is that worth the price of admission?

Personally, I could have waited to stream this one, but I’m not sure I wouldn’t have turned it off before getting to those two small, miraculous moments amidst this silly mess. (141 min.)

THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE

What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy The third installment of the Lego Movie franchise follows a group of ninja warriors led by Master Builder Lloyd (voiced by Dave Franco) as they defend Ninjago City from the evil warlord Garmadon (Justin Theroux).

But when a new threat arises, the ninjas must join forces with Garmadon against a common enemy. To save the city, the team must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their inner powers.

The film opens with a news broadcast announcing a 95 percent chance of Garmadon attacking Ninjago City. The two anchors deliver the news nonchalantly as if it’s a weather forecast, which leaves us to assume the threat is a daily norm. The citizens of Ninjago seem unaffected as they go about their day. They’ve put their complete confidence in six mysterious ninjas who have saved the city time and time again.

When Garmadon does attack, his weapon of choice is a giant cannon that shoots live sharks (and a few dolphins) at the city’s inhabitants. While reloading, he notices a pedestrian with a balloon. He orders one of his goons to pop it.

Garmadon’s behavior makes him seem like a character that a child would create, which is exactly what the filmmakers intended. Like the two previous films, the best parts of The Lego Ninjago Movie resemble things you might see kids acting out while playing with Legos. That conceit explains the shark cannon and other unadulterated, imaginative absurdities.

But unlike its predecessors, Ninjago loses most of its charm by the halfway point. Instead of a consistent flow of irreverent gags, Ninjago delivers all of its best jokes early on and the remainder feels like a snail race to the finish line. Having said that, Ninjago is far from irredeemable as there is enough silliness in that first half to warrant its existence. One bit that utilized the Wilhelm scream multiple times in a row made me crack up more than it should have.

is especially good. The two have a comical Luke/ Vader relationship once Lloyd reveals that he’s actually Garmadon’s bastard son (which is not a spoiler if you’ve seen the trailers or the TV show). If Garmadon is Lloyd’s Vader, then Master Wu (voiced by Jackie Chan) is his Ben Kenobi. Chan is great as the archetypal, wise, old mentor who only speaks in cryptic advice.

The other ninjas each have their own quirks but ultimately get lost in the scenery as the father figure/ son triangle between Lloyd, Garmadon, and Wu becomes the primary focus. The final result feels more like an extended Robot Chicken sketch (except for kids, of course) than a cohesive piece. Ninjago is the Godfather: Part III of the Lego franchise—it doesn’t hold up to the first two but is still worth a rent. (90 min.)

to portray Jeff as a symbol of strength and victory, begging him for countless interviews and TV appearances.

What makes Stronger so different from other movies of its kind is the type of person Jeff is. To put it bluntly, the film portrays him as a deadbeat. He works at Costco and doesn’t even appear to be good at it; he pines over his ex-girlfriend, Erin (Tatiana Maslany), yet was apparently lazy and unreliable when they were together; and he struggles with alcoholism, especially after the bombing. Most if not all of the hardships he faced prior to losing his legs were self-inflicted, making him a difficult protagonist to root for and sympathize with at times.

Jeff’s personality isn’t the only unglamorous aspect of the story that the movie doesn’t shy away from showing.

It also highlights some of the more intense emotional aspects, including Jeff’s PTSD-like symptoms, and Erin getting into fights with Jeff’s mom (Miranda Richardson) whenever they disagree on how best to deal with the overwhelming task of caring for the moody, uncooperative Jeff.

This film deserves massive amounts of respect not only for being a well-made, captivating movie, but also for its level of realism. Jeff is not put on a pedestal, nor are his flaws glossed over. The story is less about him being a hero and more about his own personal recovery, both in terms of moving on from the bombing and simply getting his life together in general. By the end of the film, the audience wants Jeff to be OK not because he overcame some great obstacle, but simply because we all know a guy like him.

orth County got the autumn memo just in time. It’s in the high 70s and breezy as my boyfriend and I drive into Templeton on Sept. 30, and for a second I can actually believe fall has arrived. It wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without feeling like it’s October— although I’m not exactly an expert on the matter. This Oktoberfest is both a first for me and Templeton city organizers. I think everyone’s excited to see what’s in store.

We park in downtown Templeton, and it looks like a Norman Rockwell painting. You have the Americana Main Street, polished fire station, clapboard-sided chapel, and a new addition: several haphazardly roped off drunks. The park seems a little less wholesome when wasted 50-somethings are screaming drinking songs in slurred German, but hopefully God (or the neighborhood watch) isn’t judging.

After waiting in line a few minutes— and eyeing the adult bounce house—we pick up tickets, receive our complimentary mini-mug, and instantly regret not buying a proper stein. After a little begging and eyelash batting, organizers tell my boyfriend and I that we can purchase any unclaimed steins in an hour. Thank the

Keep those elbows locked, gents! About half the contestants give up in 10 seconds just because they want another sip, but I respect that decision. After the hoisting, costume contestants prance around in dirndls, all while an announcer tries to organize a chug-off. But at this point it’s

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CASS HOUSE CAYUCOS

Beach shack revamp

Stay, dine, hang at the new Cass House Cayucos

Y

ou can keep your dark days, bitter winds, and itchy wool scarves. Fall can only mean one thing on the Central Coast: Grab your surfboard, let’s hit the beach!

This time of year, our coastline is blissfully abandoned even as temps continue to soar. If seaside strolls, epic sunsets, and salty bonfires are on your autumn to-do list, there’s one particular beach shack you should consider cozying up to.

I use the term “shack” pretty loosely here: Anyone familiar with the Cass House knows that it is, indeed, a beautifully restored home built by Cayucos founder James Cass around 1875.

Since then, this historic structure has been known as a garden-to-table restaurant and gathering place—and now, as the new Cass House Cayucos— fully transformed into a unique setting to stay, celebrate, and dine.

Under the guidance of current owner Traci Hozie of Brown Butter Cookie Co., the five-room boutique hotel hosts events amid the venue’s dreamy, flowerscented garden.

That’s also where the magic happens.

“When people first visit us, they assume the restaurant is inside,” Cass House Director of Service and Marketing Jenna Hartzell said. “It’s fun to show them that no, it’s all happening outside.”

That’s right, folks. Across the street from the Cass House, a dirt lot has been transformed into the new Cass House Pavilion, a dining area equal parts coastal cool and artfully antique. Looking over an expanse of blue ocean, the vibe is chill and the food is satisfyingly simple.

“You get that feeling of being in the garden, yet you’re protected from the elements,” Hartzell said of the whimsical space. “We made sure to keep that attention to detail, creating a 19th century architectural space, with archways, pavers, and screens.”

Haven’t been by yet? Community nights, held each Monday from 4 to 8:30 p.m., are a casual way to get introduced to this new hangout. In between challenging your friends to lawn games, you’ll experience wood-fired eats you can grip with your two hands courtesy of

Flavor’s in the house Cass House Cayucos is located at 222 North Ocean Ave. in Cayucos. Community nights are held each Monday from 4 to 8:30 p.m. Lunch is served Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., and dinner is served Thursday through Sunday from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., but the restaurant closes at 3 p.m. during scheduled event days (check casshousecayucosevents.com for updated information, event days, and holiday hours).

COASTAL COOL With a bakery, outdoor restaurant, event space, and five-room boutique hotel, the newly revamped Cass House Cayucos might be a gamechanger for the coastal town. Monday community nights are a good way to get reacquainted with the old house’s new offerings. Expect lawn games, live tunes, and wood-fired food cooked simply.

Executive Chef Cory Bidwell.

Think charred Neapolitan pizza with fresh basil, San Marzano tomatoes, and mozzarella, or a ground strip loin burger topped with Irish cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, avocado, house-made Thousand Island dressing, heirlooms, red onion, and market greens tossed in lemon vinaigrette.

“Our custom made 6-foot oak-burning grill adjusts, allowing us to cook many different dishes at different temperatures.

It’s really great to sit up at the bar because you can actually watch the chefs cook the food,” Hartzell said. “The focus is on local produce and bringing out the natural flavors of everything. Olive oil, salt, grill.

Obviously, our chefs take great care in the food, but it’s still very pure, very driven by the bounty of the Central Coast.”

Into baked goods? An onsite bakery is open Thursday through Monday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., featuring such glorious morsels as bacon and white cheddar egg tarts, lemon scones, blueberry muffins, popovers, sticky buns, and quiche. Grab a snack on the way to work—what’s more casual than that?

music to all ears

If shaking things up is more your speed, live bands take the stage Oct. 16, 23, and 30, and Nov. 6, and Thursday Meet the Maker nights showcase local wines with appearances by the winemakers themselves. This Oct. 5 will feature the crafty minds behind Storm Wines, with sauvignon blanc, rosé, grenache, and syrah for the tasting.

This is relaxed, beachfront dining as it should be. No white table cloth, no snooty waiter, just the beauty of the coast and a welcoming bed-and-breakfast feel. You might even want to stay over for a night or two (just make sure you book a room in advance; they get busy).

Of course, the haunt is open for proper lunch and dinner, too; but If you want to listen to music, gather with friends, and have a beer, get out on a Monday and see what’s crackling over the fire, and, more importantly, who’s gathered around it.

“You feel the sea breeze, see the sun setting,” Hartzell said. “It’s just a really lovely experience.”

The beach? On a school night? In October? That’s so Central Coast. ∆

Longtime former host of The Prairie Home Companion Garrison Keillor has always reminded us to “be well, do good work, and keep in touch.” Well, this column is my way of keeping in touch, and in my book, there is no “gooder” work than that of farming the best wine grapes around. Once harvest subsides, we will all “be very well” indeed, as we kick back and enjoy the fruits of yet another vintage. For now, though, it’s all blood, sweat, and tears. Winemakers, vineyard workers, and extremely dedicated friends have been working around the clock to pull grapes from busy vineyards strewn across Paso Robles, Arroyo Grande, and Edna Valley. This is go-time, people! But that doesn’t mean we can’t all have a little fun, too. Harvest Weekend is coming up this Oct. 20 to 22 in Paso Robles and SLO wine country won’t be too far behind, with Harvest on the Coast events slated for Nov. 3 to 5. This is the time of year where you’ll get to see real life, behindthe-scenes action at your favorite tasting rooms and winemaking facilities, so don’t miss out. You can bet your bottle this isn’t the pretty-prissy tourist tasting stuff either—it’s the real deal labor, and the creative energy is palpable. Aside from viewing the fascinating day-to-day work of crafting a new vintage, you can also take part in lighter offerings like barbecues, live music shindigs, winemaker dinners, and more. Just don’t get too comfortable.

You never know when a frazzled vineyard manager might need a helping hand!

H ayley’s Bites SeaSonal SolutionS Is it time for ugly sweaters yet?

National Vodka Day (Oct. 4) got me falling in love with Moscow Mules all over again, but then I remembered there’s a fun little drink called the Yule Mule, a twist on the old classic with cranberry and lime juice. Now I can’t stop thinking about making a giant punch bowl of this festive mix (all you have to do is add a bag of perky cranberries, garnish glasses with cinnamon sticks, and invite friends over for an epic seasonal soiree) Tip: Use local vodka from Re:FIND for a super smooth finish … ’Tis the season to eat like a pig, but sometimes you need to balance all that bacon with a little clean eating inspo.

Mint + Craft in downtown SLO is killing it with ready-to-go veg dishes, like their vegan Japanese eggplant salad with tofu (mintandcraft.com). Thank goodness it’s easy, or you probably wouldn’t be able to resist the alternatives.

YummY vibeS Ah, to be young and in wine: Halter Ranch’s Vineyard Manager, Lucas Pope, has been named to Wine Enthusiast’s coveted 40-Under-40 List.

Plus, he’s the very first vineyard manager to ever make the cut! Congrats, Lucas!

Winemakers shouldn’t get all the glory …

SLOVeg CSA boxes are so vibrant this time of year! This fall season, you can get your hands on black fantasy grapes, French Breakfast radishes, sunflower micro greens, and Shanghai bok choy (plus more gorgeous greenery boasting way cool names; sloveg.com) … Libertine Brewing Co. in SLO and Morro Bay has scheduled a Pirate’s Cove Beach Clean Up for Oct. 28. Mark your calendar now and plan to meet at the beach (in pirate’s costume, if you got ’em), and pick up trash with a bunch of beer-loving eco warriors! If you want to crack a cold Good Vibrations wild ale—dry, with funky lime zest notes—go right ahead.

You earned it (libertinebrewing.com)!

another round!

Here’s the big question, friends: Would you like some cheese in your drink?

Heck yes! Try Paso Robles-based Hatch Rotisserie’s new drink, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant: Vodka, basil eau de vie, roma tomato water, smoked salt, cracked pepper, and— the whopper—pimento cheese-stuffed olives (Follow @thehatchrotisserie on Instagram for more ridiculously appealing offerings) … Krobar Craft Distillery in Paso Robles has finally made a spirit that will match my favorite lipstick perfectly! I am speaking, of course, of the distillery’s new specialty pink gin, rested in Grey Wolf red wine barrels just long enough to give the botanical booze a lovely rosey hue (visit the distillery on Facebook for more updates). Hmmm ... perhaps like this could be a really cool Christmas gift for someone special on your list? ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain does not take bribes, but she will accept unopened lipsticks in all pink shades.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: LAURA ANN ROARK A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by EDWARD MICHAEL ROARK in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that EDWARD MICHAEL ROARK be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: January 16, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm Street, Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

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

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

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

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): You wouldn’t expect a 5-year-old child to paint a facsimile of Picasso’s Guernica or sing Puccini’s opera, La Boheme. Similarly, you shouldn’t fault your companions and you for not being perfect masters of the art of intimate relationships. In fact, most of us are amateurs. We may have taken countless classes in math, science, literature, and history, but have never had a single lesson from teachers whose area of expertise is the hard work required to create a healthy partnership. I mention this, Aries, because the next seven weeks will be an excellent time for you to remedy this deficiency. Homework assignments: What can you do to build your emotional intelligence? How can you learn more about the art of creating vigorous togetherness?

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re a good candidate for the following roles: 1. a skeptical optimist who is both discerning and openminded; 2. a robust truth-teller who specializes in interesting truths; 3. a charming extremist who’s capable of solving stubborn riddles; 4. a smooth operator who keeps everyone calm even as you initiate big changes; 5. an enlightened game-player who reforms or avoids games that abuse beauty’s power.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to slow down and create a wealth of spacious serenity. Use an unhurried, step-by-step approach to soothe yourself. With a glint in your eye and a lilt in your voice, say sweet things to yourself. In a spirit of play and amusement, pet and pamper yourself as you would a beloved animal.

Can you handle that much self-love, Taurus? I think you can.

It’s high time for you to be a genius of relaxation, attending tenderly to all the little details that make you feel at ease and in love with the world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If an angel were to tell us something of his philosophies, I do believe some of his propositions would sound like 2 x 2 = 13.” So said the German scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799). Now maybe you don’t believe in the existence of angels, and so you imagine his idea doesn’t apply to you. But I’m here to tell you that an influence equivalent to an angel will soon appear in your vicinity. Maybe it’ll be a numinous figure in your dreams, or a charismatic person you admire, or a vivid memory resurrected in an unexpected form, or a bright fantasy springing to life. And that “angel” will present a proposition that sounds like 2 x 2 = 13.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Unless you have an off-road vehicle, you can’t drive directly from North America to South America.

The Pan-American Highway stretches from Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina—a distance of about 19,000 miles—except for a 100-mile patch of swampy rainforest in Panama. I’d like to call your attention to a comparable break in continuity that affects your own inner terrain, Cancerian—a gray area where two important areas of your life remain unlinked. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to close the gap.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Based in Korea, Samsung is a world leader in selling smartphones and other information technology.

But it didn’t start out that way. In its original form, back in 1938, it primarily sold noodles and dried fish. By 1954, it had expanded into wool manufacturing. More than three decades after its launch as a company, it further diversified, adding electronics to its repertoire. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the next 10 months should be an excellent time for you to do the equivalent of branching out from noodles and dried fish to electronics. And the coming six weeks will be quite favorable for formulating your plans and planting your seeds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In my opinion, you’re not quite ready to launch full-tilt into the rebuilding phase.

You still have a bit more work to do on tearing down the old stuff that’s in the way of where the new stuff will go. So I recommend that you put an “Under Construction” sign outside your door, preferably with flashing yellow lights. This should provide you with protection from those who don’t understand the complexity of the process you’re engaged in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actress and author Carrie Fisher wrote three autobiographies. Speed skating Olympics star Apolo Anton Ono published his autobiography at age 20. The rascal occultist Aleister Crowley produced an “autohagiography.” To understand that odd term, keep in mind that “hagiography” is an account of the life of a saint, so adding “auto” means it’s the biography of a saint penned by the saint himself. I’m bringing up these fun facts in hope of encouraging you to ruminate at length on your life story. If you don’t have time to write a whole book, please take a few hours to remember in detail the gloriously twisty path you have trod from birth until now. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the best way to heal what needs to be healed is to steep yourself in a detailed meditation on the history of your mysterious destiny.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you go to the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Germany, you will see a jug of wine that was bottled in 1687. In accordance with astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suggest that you find a metaphorical version of this vintage beverage—and then metaphorically drink it!

In my opinion, it’s time for you to partake of a pleasure that has been patiently waiting for you to enjoy it. The moment is ripe for you to try an experience you’ve postponed, to call in favors that have been owed to you, to finally do fun things you’ve been saving for the right occasion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If a late-night TV talk show called and asked me to be a guest, I’d say no. If People magazine wanted to do a story on me, I’d decline. What good is fame like that? It might briefly puff up my ego, but it wouldn’t enhance my ability to create useful oracles for you. The notoriety that would come my way might even distract me from doing what I love to do.

So I prefer to remain an anonymous celebrity, as I am now, addressing your deep self with my deep self. My messages are more valuable to you if I remain an enigmatic ally instead of just another cartoony media personality. By the way, I suspect you’ll soon face a comparable question. Your choice will be between what’s flashy and what’s authentic; between feeding your ego and feeding your soul.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Canadian guy named Harold Hackett likes to put messages in bottles that he throws out into the Atlantic Ocean from his home on Prince Edward island. Since he started in 1996, he has dispatched over 5,000 missives into the unknown, asking the strangers who might find them to write back to him. To his delight, he has received more than 3,000 responses from as far away as Russia, Scotland, and West Africa. I suspect that if you launch a comparable mission sometime soon, Aquarius, your success rate wouldn’t be quite that high, but still good. What long-range inquiries or invitations might you send out in the direction of the frontier?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Intensify” is one of your words of power these days. So are “fortify,” “reinforce,” and “buttress.”

Anything you do to intensify your devotion and focus will be rewarded by an intensification of life’s gifts to you. As you take steps to fortify your sense of security and stability, you will activate dormant reserves of resilience. If you reinforce your connections with reliable allies, you will set in motion forces that will ultimately bring you help you didn’t even know you needed. If you buttress the bridge that links your past and future, you will ensure that your old way of making magic will energize your new way. ∆
