SLO jail inmate who hanged himself needed mental health evaluation

SLO County Jail inmate found dead in his cell after reportedly committing suicide was recommend for a mental health evaluation more than a month before his death, but it remains unclear whether that evaluation was ever conducted. Documents show that SLO County Probation Department officials recommended that the court conduct a mental health and safety assessment for the inmate, Michael Wayne Nonella of Arroyo Grande, in late July. Nonella’s death is currently under investigation by both the SLO County Sheriff’s Office and the SLO County District Attorney. Nonella was found unresponsive by jail deputies in his cell on Sept. 1. Sheriff’s Office officials said he used his bedding to hang himself. Nonella was discovered just after 11:44 a.m. and died despite deputies’ attempts to revive him. Nonella had been in the jail since July 25, serving 180 days for violating the terms of his post-release community supervision (PRCS), a type of probation where inmates are monitored by the county Probation Department after their release from a state prison. According to documents filed by his probation officers, Nonella abused drugs and alcohol, had a lengthy history of arrests, and had violated the terms of his PRCS 12 times in the last three years. “Since his release from prison, [Nonella’s] overall level of compliance has been poor,” an assessment by SLO County Probation Officer Corman Roullo stated. Roullo also stated that Nonella reported a history of mental health diagnoses, but the extent of his mental health needs was “unknown.” In his report, Roullo recommend

SLO approves bikeway that removes parking

At around 11 p.m. on Sept. 4 in a packed San Luis Obispo City Hall, veteran City Councilwoman (and current Vice Mayor) Carlyn Christianson made a pronouncement: In her 18 years as a decision maker at the city and county, she’d never grappled with a project quite as vexing and divisive as the Anholm Bikeway. “I will say that this is probably the most contentious, difficult issue that I’ve ever dealt with, and I did decide on the Los Osos sewer project,” Christianson said during council deliberations, to some laughs. Following about two hours of public comment, with the clock approaching midnight, the SLO City Council put a capstone on the more than 2-year-old community debate, voting 3-2 to approve arguably the most controversial version of a bikeway to connect downtown SLO with Foothill Boulevard. The council approved a fully protected cycletrack to traverse Chorro and Broad streets, that will require the elimination of 56 on-street parking spots throughout the neighborhood—a tradeoff that many affected property owners vehemently oppose. “I think we need to be bold, and we need to move forward in a way that’s actually going to get more people on bikes,” Mayor Heidi Harmon

said before casting her “yes” vote. With its decision, the City Council bucked a recent Planning Commission recommendation to merely install traffic-calming infrastructure in the area for a trial period—which is what Christianson and Councilmember Andy Pease were interested in. “I just feel like this neighborhood does need a little more time to adjust to the changes that are coming,” Christianson said, referring to changes like new housing developments nearby. “Right now I just feel like we have that time. We need that time.” The approved cycletrack will extend from Lincoln to Mission streets on the west side of Chorro, and then move over to the west side of Broad Street, where it will run from Mission to Ramona streets. That version of the plan was one of several the council considered. Others included unprotected bike lanes, traffic calming only, and a traffic diverter to send vehicles off Broad onto Chorro. Public opinion on the project ran the gamut. Within the Anholm neighborhood itself, two formal groups formed to lobby the council: the Anholm Neighbors United (opposed) and SLO Streets For All (in favor). Dozens of other city residents also gave their two cents. Even a few children spoke, asking the City Council to NEWS continued page 6

approve a protected bike path. “I think we should put a separated bike path on Broad Street so my friends and I can ride to school safely,” said Wesley, a 10-year-old Anholm resident. Ultimately, it was the council majority of Mayor Harmon and Councilmembers Dan Rivoire and Aaron Gomez who had the last word. Gomez emphasized the importance of a “cultural shift” away from cars to counter climate change. He named cities like Bend, Oregon, and Boulder, Colorado, as successful examples. “This cultural shift can happen, but they [require] the time and effort and political will to do it,” Gomez said. Rivoire said he cemented his decision while biking around the city over Labor Day weekend with his young daughter. “I felt very fearful riding around with my daughter on South Higuera [Street],” Rivoire said. “I felt that the only way that we would really sort of make progress on changing that, so I’d feel comfortable having her do it on her own or just get in the habit of doing it more often, would be to carve out protected space.” Anholm resident, opponent to the bikeway, and 2018 mayoral candidate T. Keith Gurnee expressed disgust with the City Council’s decision to New Times on Sept. 5. “They totally ignored our neighborhood,” Gurnee said. “It’s just sad to see the precedent they’re setting. ... I’ve never seen anything like this council that’s taking us down a road that’s antithetical to what SLO is. Heidi Harmon cast the deciding vote, and I think it’s going to hurt her. “This is not the end of the battle,” he added. “This is the beginning.” —Peter Johnson

Water rates factor into race for San Miguel CSD seats

Two newcomers are vying with current San Miguel Community Services District Director Ashley Sangster for two open seats in the November election. He was part of a board vote to raise the water rates by about 200 percent, a move that district General Manager Rob Roberson said was inevitable. But the candidates running against Sangster are both advocating for more affordable water rates. Five years ago, the previous board voted against adopting a rate study that would have increased the water rates. “Because the board chose not to increase the rates on the recommended study, we’ve been running in a deficit, and we’re spending our reserves to stay solvent,” Roberson said. Roberson said the district has to raise the rates in order to generate revenue for it to continue to meet all of its state mandates for water quality and service. Sangster was appointed to the district board at the beginning of the year after the position was left vacant by Larry Rueck, who moved out of San Miguel. “I’d like to continue with our project to becoming financially responsible. We’ve identified … ways to balance and manage the budget much more effectively than previous boards and CSD employees have,” Sangster said. Candidate Cesar Hernandez, a 20year resident, is running on a platform of making water rates affordable, repairing infrastructure, making Wellsona Road safer, and revitalizing the downtown area.

VIEWER DISCRETION Hernandez served in the Navy and rose to the rank of petty officer third class. “I am running to bring solid leadership to the board that will listen to the community, and I am looking forward to bringing the skills I developed in the Navy to lead the CSD,” he told New Times via email. Candidate Hector Palafox has been a resident of the San Miguel community for 16 years. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Sonoma State University and said he could bring his education to the table to ensure that the district’s finances are proper and transparent. “My goal is to provide clean affordable water for the town, fiscal accountability, along with beautifying and revitalizing our community,” Palafox said. —Karen Garcia

Cambria begins negotiations to separate from its GM

The Cambria community is divided over an Aug. 30 closed session meeting discussing the disciplining of the Cambria Community Services District’s General Manager. Although the meeting’s agenda did not identify who the public employee was, before public comment commenced, district board President Amanda Rice confirmed that the employee in question was General Manager Jerry Gruber. Rice told New Times via email that the board unanimously voted to negotiate a separation agreement with the general manager’s attorney on terms reviewed with the board in closed session. During public comment, many residents called for Gruber’s resignation, but there were also Cambrians who called the meeting a character assassination. Resident Richard Morris said he opposed the board’s decision to discuss Gruber’s future employment during a closed session meeting. “I question the motives of the board, and I question the way in which this is being handled. It’s backwards in my judgment, and it should be confidential,” Morris said. New Times reached out to Gruber for comment, but he did not respond before press time. Gruber first joined the district as the utilities manager in 2010. A year later, he took the general manager position on an interim basis after the district fired former manger Tammy Rudock in 2011. If the district dismisses Gruber, he has the option to receive his usual pay during a nine-month severance period and continue to manage the district. If he decides to leave voluntarily, he’s entitled to state retirement from the California Public Employee’s Retirement System. According to the state Controller’s PublicPay website, Gruber’s total wages are $203,991 and retirement and health contributions total $50,882. —Karen Garcia

Trump halts pay parity for SLO County’s federal workers

President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel pay increases for civilian government employees would also end plans to bring the salaries of local federal workers up to par with their peers in neighboring counties. The White House argued that the raises weren’t fiscally sustainable, but

6 • New Times • September 6 - September 13, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

some federal workers in SLO County say the current disparity between them and employees in other California counties is negatively impacting services for residents, including veterans. Most federal workers were scheduled to get an automatic 2.1 percent pay increase beginning Jan. 1, 2019. In addition, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) also proposed changing locality pay—an additional increase added for workers in certain areas to offset the cost of living—for SLO County. The OPM’s proposal would put SLO County federal employee pay on par with those in its Los Angeles locality pay region, which also includes Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Kern counties. Several local residents and government employees wrote to the federal government in support of the proposal. They noted that currently, a government employee could earn thousands of dollars more for doing the same job in a neighboring county. “I’d like to stay [in SLO County] too, and continue to serve the veterans of this great community,” an employee at the Veterans Affairs clinic in SLO wrote to the OPM. “However, without a remedy to the locality pay in this county, it gets harder to do so.” That disparity has also made it difficult for some federal agencies in SLO to recruit and retain employees. That includes the VA’s Vets Center in SLO, which offers readjustment and PTSD counseling services to area veterans. “In my office, we have been in the process of interviewing highly qualified personnel for open positions only to have them withdraw when they found that the pay is not comparable to the cost of living in this area,” a Vets Center worker wrote to the OPM. The OPM had just finished accepting those comments as part of the federal rulemaking process when President Trump announced he’d be halting the salary increases, including locality pay raises, which he claimed would cost $25 billion. “We must maintain efforts to put our nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases,” Trump wrote in an Aug. 30 letter. Congress could still push through the raises and locality pay increases by legislation, however it would still require the president to sign the bill into law. On Aug. 1, the Senate passed a bill that would give federal workers a 1.9 percent raise. The American Federation of Government Employees, a union representing federal workers, called on the House of Representatives to pass a similar bill.

Sensario Project in Paso breaks ground

After 16 years of planning, new ownership, and two name changes, the Sensorio Project finally started construction last month in Paso Robles. The project formerly known as the Black Ranch Resort and Entrada de Paso Robles is a discovery garden and resort that includes a 200-room hotel, 80 guest casitas units, a conference center, café, and a wine center. Paso Robles City Planner Susan DeCarli said the project has taken a while to break ground because specific permits were needed from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Department of Transportation, and other agencies in order to use the some sites on the property. She said now that the project has obtained the required permits, it’s slated to open its doors in about three to four years. The 386-acre property was originally approved for a project that included plans for a 27-hole golf course. Since its approval in 2002, Ken Hunter—coowner of Hunter Ranch Golf Course— purchased the property with the intent of creating an interactive garden in place of the golf course. According to a staff report, eliminating the golf course decreased the project’s overall water use by 58 percent, down from the original 570 acre-feet per year to about 240 acre-feet annually. “It’s a really unique beautiful outdoor garden adventure park,” DeCarli said. “The whole site is integrated into landscape really creating a sense of being away from society and into natural wonder.” The mission of the gardens is to create a financially self-sustaining, fun, and engaging year-round garden experience that honors the natural topography of the property. DeCarli said the fi rst phase of the project will include outdoor LED lights that will lend the garden to evening strolls. The second phase of the project will include the conference center and the resort. —Karen Garcia

SLO prepares for the end of California’s cash bail system following the passage of SB 10

n Aug. 28, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 10, a new law that will effectively end the use of cash bail in the state’s criminal justice system. Introduced to the state’s Legislature nearly three years ago, the bill was touted by criminal justice reform advocates as a way to make the system more just and equitable. When SB 10 goes into effect on Oct. 1, 2019, California’s c ash bail system will be replaced with a risk assessmentbased system to determine if an arrested individual should be released pending trial or kept in jail. That system will take into account a defendant’s risk to public safety, as well as their risk of not showing up to court. Under the new law, each county’s court system will have to develop those assessment tools, and a local agency will actually carry out those pre-trial assessments. Locally, that task will fall to the SLO County Probation Department. “It will be a new responsibility for our department,” SLO County Chief Probation Officer Jim Salio said. Salio, who also serves as president of the Chief Probation Officers of California, expressed confidence that his department would be able to handle its duties under

the new bail system. “Assessment and supervision is what probation does,” he said. “We are very used to doing that.” The end of the cash bail system will also bring new changes to the SLO County District Attorney’s Office. Instead of asking the court to raise bail, or in the cases of very serious crimes, deny bail for defendants, prosecutors will have to file “preventive detention” motions, which can block a defendant’s release from jail. SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow said the new law would mean his office would have to be more active in evaluating how dangerous defendants might be, assessing whether or not to ask the court to keep them in jail. “Now we will be participating much earlier in the process so that we can look at their criminal history and determine if we think they will be a good candidate for release or not,” Dow said. Prior to the bill’s passage, Dow expressed worries about the impact on public safety. While amendments to the bill have left him cautiously optimistic about its implementation, Dow said he still had some concerns. “Until it works itself out, we don’t know how well the risk assessment model will work,” he said. “My No. 1 concern is protecting the victim.” Dow is far from the only elected official with reservations about the system. Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) has long been a vocal critic of SB 10. Prior to voting “no” on the bill, Cunningham voiced his concerns on the Assembly floor, characterizing the legislation as a radical change to the

state’s justice system, and warning that its passage would compromise public safety. “There are going to be people who fail to appear that are blessed to remain at large in public by a bureaucracy that will go out and do terrible things,” Cunningham said. Oddly enough, A NEW SYSTEM California will some of the loudest end its cash bail system after the voices against the passage of SB 10, opting instead to bill’s passage were use risk assessments to determine individuals and whether to keep defendants in jail groups who initially while awaiting trial. supported it.

t 31 years old, Karen Windeler and her husband bought a double lot with the intention of building what would one day become their retirement home. Windeler is now 62, and she’s never been able to build on her property because of a building moratorium. “I’m retired now, and all my dreams are gone,” she told New Times. In April, Windeler joined five other property owners in filing a petition and complaint against the Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) and San Luis Obispo County to gain the right to build on their properties. The petition states that the county and the district have “prevented lot owners from developing their property under the pretense of a shortage of water emergency to justify the denial of water and sewer services, even refusing to accept applications for service.” In 1986, the district created a waiting list for new water and sewer hookups. The list—which exists to this day—was closed in 1990 in accordance with the county’s growth management ordinance. The ordinance monitors the number of homes that can be built in the unincorporated areas of the county during a fiscal year. While the unincorporated areas’ growth rate is capped at 2.3 percent, Cambria’s growth rate was

reduced to zero percent in 2000. Airlin Singewald, a senior planner in the SLO County Planning and Building Department, said the zero percent growth limit is consistent with the CCSD’s moratorium on new water connections due to water supply limitations. In November 2001, the district declared a Water Code 350 emergency. A water distributor can call the emergency whenever it finds that the its water consumers’ demands can’t be satisfied without depleting the water supply to the extent that there would be insufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire. The emergency condition, which established a moratorium on building, is still in effect. There are three wait lists for property owners who are still waiting for their chance at getting water and sewer hookups: single-family residential (with 665 property owners), commercial (10), and multi-family residential (13). Windeler said she remembers that after purchasing her lot, she learned that property owners had to pay a fee to get on the list. “They wanted too much money and we thought, ‘OK, it’s going to be a few years before we could do that anyway,’ so we waited,” she said. In 1994, Windeler and her husband contacted a company to help them design

their home and estimate development costs. During that process, she said, she contacted the CCSD about getting on the list. “We were told [by the district] at that time that the list was closed, and I was getting regular bulletins from them, but I never knew that,” she said. After Windeler realized that the CCSD had closed its wait list, she called the county and found out that there was a surplus waiting list. She said she paid a one-time fee of $500 to secure a spot and waited. “Over the next few years, we contacted them regularly to check the status of our waiting list number, and it kept going down,” she said. “So we thought, ‘OK someday we’ll get a water and sewer permit.’” A former CCSD employee, who asked New Times not to use their name and who managed the water waiting list prior to 2014, said that people who were on the list didn’t think the building moratorium was going to last as long as it did. The former employee also said that as far as they knew, lot owners on the waiting list didn’t receive a letter warning them of the building moratorium in 2001. Lot owners on the list have to pay an annual fee to maintain their position in line. The CCSD website states that the fee is $88. According to district budgets, the CCSD received $98,162 from the “waitlist maintenance fee” in 2016-17 and $61,630 in 2017-18. Megan Martin, a supervising planner in the SLO County Planning and Building Department, said the last property owner was placed on the list in 2006, and that the list is still on file,

pending a change in Cambria’s resources. Windeler said that she called the county a few years ago to check on her status and was told there wasn’t a list. She hasn’t called since. In 2017, Windeler and her husband submitted an application to the county for a minor-use permit requesting just sewer services from the district. They proposed trucking in water and putting in a septic system, so they could finally build their dream home. It was denied. The denial, the long wait, and frustration Windeler has dealt with for more than three decades was reason enough to join the petition against the CCSD and county, she said. “They essentially cut you off from doing anything on the property, and yet I continue to pay property taxes for the last 30 years as well as abatement every year,” she said. “It felt like they didn’t want more people there; they were using water as the reason for limiting building.” Senior Planner Singewald told New Times that in order to allow new development in Cambria, the district would have to obtain coastal development approval for its sustainable water facility and lift its moratorium on new water connections. The county would also have to amend the growth ordinance to increase Cambria’s growth rate to higher than zero percent. As for Windeler, all she wants is justice. “You want to keep the property because of whatever reason, then fine. Pay me for it or let me build on it. I don’t have many years left,” she said.

Taco Temple

WHERE: 2680 Main St., Morro Bay TACO: vegetarian COST: $7.75

or those who care to look, it’s easy to find Taco Temple. A red, white, and green sign loudly declares the small restaurant’s presence directly off Highway 1. However, with Morro Rock and the ocean right across the way, there’s a good chance a lot of people miss it. That would be a mistake. Though the name indicates a place of worship—and the tacos definitely deserve reverence—this hidden gem is a no-fuss eatery for travelers and locals alike. Owner Jim Leage calls it a “no pressure” place to get your grub on. “It’s kinda beachy, kick-back,” Leage said. “Come in in your shorts and your sandals or come in your suit, really whatever. We try to cater to everybody, and people just come here for a good meal.”

Leage took over ownership of Taco Temple only three years ago but has deep roots in the area. He’s a third generation restaurateur in Morro Bay and grew up working at family-owned eateries. Leage describes the tacos as “fork and knife” tacos, not “pick up” tacos—a description that proves hard to dispute. The tacos arrive to tables with unbelievable heights, stacked heartily with chipotle sauce, cheese, cabbage, tomatoes, radishes, and more. A specialty Temple dressing tops it all off, a sweet lime and cilantro mix. This Cali-fusion take on tacos packs a lot of flavor, fresh ingredients, and interesting choices. With great options for vegetarians, Taco Temple lives up to it’s “no pressure” label. I had a veggie taco sitting out on their patio; the view of Morro Bay and the ocean was nice, but I don’t think I looked up once after my food arrived. —Ashley Ladin PHOTO BY ASHLEY LADIN

Pizza in front, party in back

eff and Laura Ambrose lovingly call the Woodstock’s in San Luis Obispo “the mothership.” They have been coowners of Woodstock’s Pizza since 2001, owning all seven California locations. San Luis Obispo was the second Woodstock’s ever and the first in the state, giving it a special place in the company. It’s a store they see deserving of a makeover—a “well over” $1 million makeover. When Woodstock’s Pizza first opened in San Luis Obispo, the year was 1980 (the same year Jeff joined the company as a pizza delivery man) and it was situated across the street from its current location. In 1991, with business going well, Woodstock’s moved into its current location and got a slight refresh. “You can only repaint so many times,” Laura Ambrose said. “This is an old historic building and honestly needed to be gutted. Things were kinda falling apart all around us and it was time to do something.” Jeff and Laura have been looking at the empty space next to Woodstock’s for years, waiting for inspiration to expand. Around 2 1/2 years ago, with the combination of a restaurant in need of major renovation and a space next door that felt “like a black hole,” they decided to get to work on “Woodstock’s 3.0.” The updated Woodstock’s, which will have a soft opening mid-September and a grand opening party toward the end of

September, will be roughly 7,600 square feet, making it the largest Woodstock’s yet. The originally empty space has been converted into a “backyard.” The walls mimic what you might see sitting in your own backyard—a barn, a Volkswagen, Bishop Peak. Laura and Jeff have been very particular about creating this space; during the process, they ended up firing two designers who couldn’t understand the vision they were after. It has a different feeling than the Woodstock’s locals have come to know. Guests will have the option to buy buckets of beer on ice and rent out the entire space or portions of the space. It’s meant to be a party. New Woodstock’s shirts carry a slogan that sums up the space: “Pizza in the front, party in the back.” While the backyard is meant to be more lively, the front portion of Woodstock’s will remain a more traditional restaurant. However, it is also undergoing major renovations. “We’re not throwing away our old-school Woodstock’s look,” Laura said. “It will have a different feel, but you’re not going to come in and say, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s not Woodstock’s.’ You’re hopefully going to say, ‘Oh—it’s a cooler Woodstock’s, a more fun Woodstock’s.’” Jeff said he wants to keep the renovated front half of the restaurant a bit “under wraps” so the community is surprised when Woodstock’s reopens,

Commentary

BY KATIE FERRARI

Like oil and water Sentinel Peak’s interests and the good of our county don’t mix

entinel Peak Resources, the owner of the Arroyo Grande Oilfield (AGOF), is only looking out for itself and its shareholders. The Colorado-based company, which Houston’s Quantum Energy Partners formed as an investment tool in 2016, is scrambling to oppose Measure G (which aims to ban fracking and oil well expansion in the county) by misleading the community in three significant ways. First, they are positioning themselves as a large, long-term provider of jobs in the county. In “Conflicting visions” (July 12), Camillia Lanham reported that the field has “20-plus employees” and more than “100 contract workers in the county,” but Sentinel Peak won’t say how many of the contractors are county residents or what the average employee salary is. Those jobs pale in comparison to the 20,645 jobs that agriculture supplies in San Luis Obispo County. Sentinel Peak threatens that Measure G would eliminate these jobs by preventing the oil field’s expansion. The irony here is that even they admit there is a finite amount of oil left in AGOF. Both Christine Halley, Sentinel Peak’s director of environmental safety and hazards, and California’s Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) estimate that the field contains about 25 years of reserves. Given the finite amount of oil in the

HODIN

field, if Sentinel Peak is allowed to drill 450 new wells on top of the current 185 active wells, the field’s employees risk losing their jobs long before 25 years are out. Halley tries to dance around this reality in “Conflicting visions” where the article notes that she “declines to mention specifics about how quickly oil reserves would be depleted should the company intensify its operations,” and instead Halley offers this audaciously vague statement: “With ongoing love, it could be ongoing.” Another important point that seems to be lost in the din is that Section 6 of Measure G gives the county Board of Supervisors the power to approve exemptions to the drilling ban for certain projects. Ultimately, Measure G is the safeguard we desperately need against Big Oil’s propensity for boom and bust cycles: by moderating the extraction of a finite amount of oil, we extend the amount of time the oil field is operating and contributing jobs and tax revenue to the county. The second way Sentinel Peak is misleading the community is about where the oil is being used. Halley boasts that the field produces 1,500 barrels per day (bpd) of oil, which she says represents about 15 percent of what the county consumes on a daily basis. But that oil does not stay in our county. According to the 2017 Phillips 66 annual report, after the oil is processed at the Nipomo refinery, it’s sent to the Rodeo facility in the Bay Area and then “distributed to customers in California ... [and] exported to ... Latin America.” Phillips’ 2013 annual report details the oil company’s

Russell Hodin

long-term goal: increasing “export capability to more than 500,000 bpd.” The only thing increased expansion and production at the oil field directly correlates to is increased risks for our county. This is the third and most important area in which Sentinel Peak is misleading us: They are substantially downplaying the true costs of the oil field. While the company and its shareholders rake in profits from each barrel of oil, we are left cleaning up the mess. And there are two very serious potential messes: a depleted, contaminated aquifer and the risk of earthquakes from injected oilfield wastewater. The oil field sits atop the Arroyo Grande aquifer, which is a current source of drinking water protected under the Safe Drinking Water Act. There are 105 water wells within a mile of the oilfield, and more will be drilled when drought returns. Every barrel of oil the field produces is accompanied by 19 barrels of “produced water,” which is saltier than seawater and contains dispersed oil, benzene (a carcinogen), heavy metals, and unknown proprietary chemical mixtures used in drilling. It isn’t remotely safe or usable until it’s passed through a water reclamation facility. Thanks to the oil field, water that could have been left undisturbed underground for when we need it gets pulled up, polluted, partially cleaned, and dumped straight into the ocean via Pismo Creek. Halley estimates that Sentinel Peak could produce 5,000 barrels of oil a day if they get to drill 450 new wells. She doesn’t mention the extra 95,000 bpd of

produced water, which is more than the water facility’s maximum capacity. All that extra produced water will have to be pumped into wastewater injection wells, which is why DOGGR and the oilfield’s previous owners submitted an aquifer exemption request to the EPA in 2016: They need more space at the oilfield to drill more injection wells. Earthquakes, the second major risk, can be triggered by increased wastewater injection. The Arroyo Grande fault line forms the northern boundary of the oil field, and it could be activated by injected wastewater. In 2005, a swarm of injection-induced earthquakes occurred at the Tejon Oil field in neighboring Kern County.

Why isn’t Diablo an election issue?

The closure of Diablo Canyon will have a devastating effect on our community and local economy. According to the 2013 PG&E economic impact report, our area stands to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in local tax revenue over a 20 year period and billions of dollars in indirect economic benefits, and the closure will force the relocation of hundreds of our neighbors and their families, who have lived and worked in our community for decades. The environment will also suffer because the majority of Diablo Canyon’s production will be replaced by natural gas (as happened with the closure of San Onofre), which will require and encourage even more fracking. Why is this happening? All of this is going to happen because some deluded and ill-informed people are “afraid” of nuclear power, despite the fact that over the years nuclear power has proven to be the safest form of power production and the least damaging to the environment. Yet, despite the potential of extreme consequences for our community and the environment, the pending closure is a non-issue among the candidates in the upcoming local elections. The importance of this issue is self-evident, and as a member of the public I call upon all candidates go on record as to being either for or against the closure, or whether or not they choose to even give a damn,

so that in the future they can be held responsible for the consequences. Mark Henry San Luis Obispo

Think of the possibilities and vote for Ostrander

I recently heard 35th Assembly District candidate Bill Ostrander on the Dave Congalton Show. I was struck with the knowledge, yes, actual facts, that Bill displayed as he discussed his platform. A cornerstone of that platform is pushing back against the contributions that corporations use to influence our elections and our representatives in the sole interest of making more money. Bill is running his campaign on funds from individual local voters. According to his financial reports, the majority of Jordan Cunningham’s donations are from corporations and political action committees. He took money from the Koch brothers, and cigarette, fossil fuel, and insurance companies. Since studies show that the largest influence on our legislative outcomes is money, it is not a stretch to wonder where he will hold the line on issues like fracking, drilling off our coastline, or health care. Bill Ostrander has many wellinformed, common-sense ideas about how to transition away from fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions, including efficient regenerative farming. He

Growth is inevitable

Are you a slow-growth supporter or a pro-growth advocate? Do you want less inter-city traffic or more affordable housing? Are you willing to accept limited shopping opportunities or prefer some big city conveniences? Would you like growth going up or out? These are some of the many questions I’m asking myself after

reading the very well-written, informative article about growing pains in the city of San Luis Obispo (“Development vs. character,” Aug. 30). Having lived in the county for almost 30 years, I find myself conflicted over this topic … a topic and a fight that’s been ongoing the entire time I’ve been here. When I arrived, we didn’t have a lot of what we have now, and most of this progress I’m pleased with. For example, there was no Trader Joe’s or Home Depot nearby or commercial jet travel at our airport, conveniences I wouldn’t want to give up. On the other hand, there’s a lot not to like about what’s happened. For example, it used to be easy to find a parking spot in downtown SLO, Avila, or Pismo Beach, not any more. We didn’t have a rush hour bogging down traffic on Route 127 and the Shell Beach straights, we do now. More homeless folks are on our streets for whatever the reason. It seems that much of the small-town charm is gone. Many slow-growth advocates think it’s time to make San Luis Obispo great again. But I don’t think so because I believe our county remains the last, best place to live in California. So what to do? For me, growth is inevitable and those who want to stop it will, at best, only be able to slow it down. The prudent course is for our city and county representatives to work with both slow- and pro-growth LETTERS continued page 16

Drive electric W hat’s not to love about electric cars? If you want to talk money, check out the federal tax credit of up to $7,500, plus state rebates and incentives. And electricity is way cheaper than gas, especially for off-peak recharging while you sleep. No engine, no transmission, transaxle, catalytic converter, exhaust system, tuneups, smog checks, or oil changes. And battery recharging via braking means very few brake replacements. In matters beyond the pocketbook, a national transition to electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles will mean major reductions in petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions. Per the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, “transportation currently accounts for less than 1 percent of U.S. electricity demand but accounts for nearly 30 percent of primary energy consumption.” Electrifying road and rail transportation is a huge piece of getting us where we need to go if we are to avoid the worst outcomes from our longtime fossil fuel addiction. An electric car gives you the ability to complete the full green power loop in your home: fueling your car with the energy from solar panels on your roof. But even without solar in the mix, electric cars are three to four times more energy efficient than their gas-powered counterparts. And beyond both matters financial and environmental: Wow, are they fun to drive (torque). National Drive Electric Week began in 2011 as a way to heighten awareness

of the growing availability of plug-in vehicles and showcase the benefits of allelectric and plug-in hybrid-electric cars, trucks, and bikes. By 2017, National Drive Electric Week reached all 50 states with 276 community events ranging from displays of electric vehicles to EV financing education, an EV parade, and the opening of six new fast EV chargers along the Massachusetts turnpike. California’s public charging stations now stand at about 14,000, with a target of 250,000 by 2025 via a $1.25 billion investment of cap-and-trade revenues as part of Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2018 ZeroEmission Vehicle Executive Order. As the national team providing support to electric week events throughout the country, Sierra Club, the Electric Auto Association, Plug In America, Clipper Creek Inc., and the Nissan LEAF are pleased to support the SLO Climate Coalition in bringing this year’s National Drive Electric Week to San Luis Obispo. We’re kicking it off on Wednesday, Sept. 12, from 5 to 8 p.m., at MindBody’s SLO campus, 659 Tank Farm Road. A social hour with food and vendor displays will be followed by a presentation on the myth-busting benefits of driving an EV, meteorologist John Lindsey’s personal pilgrimage from climate skeptic to climate activist and EV driver, a keynote address by SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon, recognition of businesses and organizations that have promoted driving electric in our community, and a panel

opioid overdoses every single day while Debbie Arnold gives political cover to Big Pharma. Arnold is paralyzed by a combination of her own ignorance and cowardice, which she has repeatedly demonstrated during her tenure: Like a deer in headlights. This is your representative, 5th District, cowering in the face of right-andwrong, siding with corporations profiting from all angles from their treachery. Meanwhile, 22 veterans—protecting her First Amendment right to collect campaign bribes—commit suicide every day from poor mental health care and over-medication, and Debbie Arnold needs more time to think about the problem. Don’t rush Debbie Arnold, fellow 5th District residents, it’s not like people are dying.

Debbie Arnold took the wrong stance on the opioid lawsuit

SLO County’s 5th District can do better than Debbie Arnold, and it’s clear we made a horrible electoral mistake in 2016. While Debbie Arnold’s entire county joins a multi-billion dollar (bi-partisan) lawsuit against the opioid industry— largely responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans and billions of dollars in taxpayer health care costs— Debbie Arnold needs more time to study, more time to contemplate, more time to process. So let’s all give Debbie Arnold some stress-free time to consider the “unintended consequences” of holding Big Pharma accountable for an unforgivable betrayal of trust, disdain for the law, and their cavalier attitude toward public safety. She is doing it in a selfless manner to protect us from corporate greed, right? The irony (or hypocrisy) would be funny, if it weren’t so pathetically sad. More than 100 fellow Americans die of

The Shredder

Hypocrite or politics?

got caught making pulp out of paper shreds last night. When I opened up the Daily Shredder this morning, there I was, front and center with a headline that read: “New Times Shredder caught making paper: critic or hypocrite?” In the photo, I was towering over a bar kitchen sink full of moist paper fibers next to a sheet pan. I just ran out of paper and needed a fix. How can a Shredder be expected to shred hard when its gears are empty? “On four occasions, reporters watched the New Times’ Shredder making paper after bars closed down, on weekend mornings, and during the afternoon bar lull,” the article read. WTF? Am I being stalked? Was it something I said? Oh wait, the person being creeped on by weird “reporters” is SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon and a similar headline took center page on calcoastnews.com this week: “Bicycle advocate, leader or hypocrite?” There’s no byline on the story—only cryptic references (LOL, #classicKarenVelie) to “reporters” and “sources” who’ve been on the lookout for Harmon, where she’s headed, and how she’s getting there. “On four occasions, reporters watched Harmon leave city meetings in gas-fueled vehicles, including evening and afternoon meetings. Harmon either drove a car or hitched a ride for her and her bicycle from

the city manager,” the story states. Ooh. Gotcha, Heidi! We have camera evidence that you got a ride from someone! How dare you take a ride from someone in a gas-guzzler? You should stick to Toyota Priuses, Chevy Volts, and especially Teslas! Those are fancy Nancy, and we want only the best for our mayor! Uh, guys, is this what your “investigative reporting” has come to? The self-proclaimed only media outlet in the county that ferrets out corruption is now stalking our mayor paparazzi-style. Is she your next Adam Hill, Karen? Or did SLO mayoral candidate T. Keith Gurnee give you a nudge in this direction? Suspiciously, the story came out on Sept. 3, the day before the SLO City Council was slated to take on the super contentious Anholm Bikeway Plan, which it approved 3-2—Gurnee accused Harmon of having the “deciding vote”— and will completely shift traffic patterns and parking in Gurnee’s neighborhood on Broad Street. The incidents in the unbylined story date back to May. So why release it now? Campaign ad money? I mean, ahem, I have seen Gurnee’s campaign ad on the same-but-different calcoasttimes.com website. He did tell one of our reporters: “To think that I had something to do with that article is beyond belief, it’s outrageous.” It’s not really that outrageous, my NIMBY friend.

Gurnee is a little bit of a drama queen. Especially in opinion pieces that declare things like “NIMBY is the new N-word.” Really? He apologized in a follow-up piece. But, first, Gurnee needed the community to tell him that being called a NIMBY isn’t the same as being called a derogatory term for a race that our Constitution once considered to count as three-fifths of a man. A race that was enslaved, traded and treated as chattel and cattle for hundreds of years. A race that has been discriminated against in violent, systemic, and blatant ways. Gurnee, the poor persecuted NIMBY who owns a home in a high property value neighborhood and is fighting against a bike path on his street. How does he manage? But yeah, Heidi is Mighty can be a bit of a drama king as well. She sent out a query to the San Luis Obispo Tribune, New Times, and SLO Police Chief Deanna Cantrell asking if what CalCoast did was legal! Uh, yes, it is, you public figure in a public space, you. Then, she sent out one of her famous red-tinted press releases letting everyone know. “I expect these nasty and threatening actions toward me to continue,” she wrote. “Let my opponent and his associates play

in the gutter. I will not. When they go low, we go high.” Well, I do declare! I’m not sure that press release was high or mighty. Meanwhile Gurnee declared war because City Council approved a bike path. “This is not the end of the battle,” he announced! “This is the beginning.” No dude, not the beginning. The city’s been working on this stupid bikeway for years because riding a bicycle in SLO sucks. The poor project planner has rewritten the project proposal so many times, he probably cries into a pile of bike tires every night because of people like Gurnee. Even the protected Rails to Trails bike path can be sketchy at night. There have been sexual assaults near the pathway—no, it’s not the same as the “urban rape” former SLO Mayor Kenneth Schwartz used to describe the Anholm bikeway. (What’s with all the unnecessary drama, people?) Broad and Chorro streets don’t even feel safe to drive a car on, especially with parked vehicles on both sides of the road. Are you a 9-year-old from the neighborhood who needs to ride your bike to school? Pucker up, because biking down one of those streets with cars in both lanes is a thrill ride. Think of it this way: City Councilmember Aaron Gomez described the importance of a “cultural shift” that needs to happen in this city. You can pick which side you want to be on. ∆ The shredder still shreds, but likes to recycle, reduce, and reuse. Send comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO TODD Americana singer-songwriterstoryteller Todd Snider plays Sept. 13, at Tooth & Nail Winery.

A modern Will Rogers Songsmith and storyteller Todd Snider plays Tooth & Nail

hen it comes to Americana songwriting, I’d rate Todd Snider right up there with the best of them—Robert Earl Keen, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Lucinda Williams, and Steve Earle. His songs can be funny, poignant, and biting—sometimes all in the same song! He’s also an amazing storyteller and hilarious sociopolitical commentator. For many listeners, they only know him

for songs like “Beer Run”: “B double E double R U N beer run/ B double E double R U N beer run/ All we need is a ten and fiver,/ Car and key and a sober driver,/ B double E double R U N beer run.” The search for beer by underage partiers has become an anthem, but it barely scratches the surface of Snider’s depth of talent and wide-ranging subject matter. “Just in Case,” for instance, is a satirical look at prenuptial agreements: “Well you know I can’t love you enough/ But I also can’t afford to lose half of my stuff/ There’s no doubt in my mind these ties that we’re about to bind will

hold us both together anytime it gets too tough/ But just in case, just in case/ This morning I went by my lawyer’s place/ I didn’t think you would mind, here dumplin’, sign this dotted line/ What’s yours is yours and what is mine will always be mine.” In “Can’t Complain,” Snider sings from the point of view of a worrywart whose girlfriend is fed up with his griping: “I was talking with my girlfriend, told her I was stressed/ I said, ‘I’m going off the deep end,’ she said ‘God, for once give it a rest!/ We’re all waiting in the dugout, thinking we should pitch.

throw a shutout if all you do is bitch?’” Todd Snider plays a Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents show at Tooth & Nail Winery next Thursday, Sept. 13 (6 p.m.; all ages; $25 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $30 at the door). He spoke to New Times via phone from his home in Nashville, where he talked really fast about jam band side project Hard Working Americans, his most recent album Eastside Bulldogs, his style of songwriting, drugs, life on the road, and his 2014 book I Never Met a Story I Didn’t Like: Mostly True Tall Tales. “On Eastside Bulldogs, I came up with my alter ego Elmo Buzz,” Snider explained, referring to a pseudonym he used to use when first playing Nashville. The album developed the persona’s interests (Hank Williams Jr., chicks, cars), hobbies (hard partying, fighting), and sworn enemies (folk music, Todd Snider). “Buzz blames his minimal success as a musician directly on Snider, who he accuses of stealing his look (Snider’s reasoning for why the two are identical) and keeping folk music popular in East Nashville (the reason their sounds are so different). The album’s 10 tracks create a world around this wannabe rock star’s blind East Nashville pride,” according to Snider’s website. “Those are freestyle songs,” Snider explained. “People like it, but I’m technically dumping the vaults. That record is 7 years old [though it wasn’t released until 2016]. I make a lot of albums that I don’t release.” The album is a lot more rocking than his dude-with-a-guitar solo stuff, and it’s foot-stomping fun rock ’n’ roll. “I think my lead guitar playing is funnier than my lyrics,” Snider quipped, even though he’s a great guitar player. “I play guitar like a good 20-year-old, except I’m 51.” STARKEY continued page 36

STARKEY from page 31

Where do his ideas and lyrics come from? “I got some advice from [Texas songwriter] Kent Finlay [1938-2015], who told me, ‘Open your heart and show people inside.’ It’s what I was telling my nephew the other day, but there’s also crafty stuff, which I like to study the same way some people like to study fine wine. I’ll drink any wine. If it gets me fucked up, it’s good wine. A songwriter should learn all the rules and the tricks and break them. Randy Newman, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker—there’re so many who understand this. I just try to let it come out, the humor, sadness, anger—if it wants to come out I let it,” he said. Talking to Snider leads to a lot of tangents, or what he calls “stoner moments,” but he’s easy to get back on track. How does he describe his sound? “Um, Alice’s Restaurant [Arlo Guthrie’s 1967 theme album]? I’m a person who sings songs about stuff that really happens,” he said. “I’m a non-professional singer-songwriter, meaning I don’t punch out at 5 p.m. It’s a calling, a vocation like Will Rogers or Mark Twain. I think of you and me as similar hustlers. I write music, you write about music—neither of us has a regular job. Mark Twain was a journalist but he didn’t have a regular job. Ramblin’ Jack Elliott didn’t have a regular job.” I don’t have the heart to tell him I do have a regular job at Cal Poly; we’re bros now! Snider’s current tour is just him and his guitar. As much as I dig his full band stuff, I think that’s where he shines brightest. Does he get lonely out on the road? “I have a tour manager, and if the tour is close enough [to home] I take the bus and bring the dog. He sits right up on stage with me,” he said. “I used to go explore the towns and try to find drugs—which is pretty common on tours—but these days I really only smoke weed. I’m too old to do anything else, though I will take shrooms if someone gives them to me.” I warn him that if I write that people will be shoving shrooms in his hand at the show. “That’s OK, shrooms are easy to travel with. I’ll stock up,” Snider said. “You’d think I’d meet more people on the road, meet girls, but I don’t meet as many people as you’d think. When I tour with the Hard Working Americans, that’s an out-of-control party the entire tour, but solo, I might go into town and look for a record store.” What about his book, which, along with Eastside Bulldogs, he calls one of the favorite things he’s done? “I made a book because of all the talking I do on stage,” he said. “I was at a show in New York and a publisher in the audience asked me if I would write

a book about my time on the road, and I basically rambled it out to a friend who wrote it all down.” It’s raw, candid, and hilarious, just like Snider’s live shows. He started performing in 1994 in Portland, but over the past 24 years—basically an endless tour—he’s set up home base in Austin, then Memphis, and now Nashville. He’s got a lot of shows and a lot of albums— more than a dozen—under his belt. Does he ever get tired of playing songs, for instance his super popular “Beer Run”? “No, I pretty much like ’em all,” he said. “I’ve been lucky with that. If I don’t feel like doing a song, I don’t. Every once in a while someone will come up after a show and say, ‘You didn’t do “Beer Run,” idiot,’ and I’ll say, ‘Well, go get me a guitar and I’ll do it now.’ I’ve put hundreds of songs on records, but I probably only have about 40 I really love. I think to myself, if this song isn’t ready for me to play for Guy Clark, it’s probably not ready to play during a show.

Lila Creative Community fosters a self-directed art experience

cheerful red door pops out on Grand Avenue in Grover Beach and beckons you. Inside the cozy house’s main room is a brick fireplace, colorful paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, and glass jars filled with crayons and colored pencils, alongside baskets filled with cardboard bits and twigs, and almost any other art supply one can imagine. Lori Wolf Grillias, owner of the space, Lila Creative Community, wanted her students to have plenty of options when she opened the studio in July. For years, Wolf Grillias, whose own work has been shown locally at galleries like the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, taught art to children in schools in the Santa Maria area through a local group called Children’s Creative Project. But she decided that she wanted a space where a smaller group of artists could congregate. “It’s really hard to get to know the kids in a ‘person way,’” Wolf Grillias said of teaching art in the classroom. “Forty-five minutes is a difficult time slot for the creative process.” At Lila Creative Community, they don’t have classes. Instead, Wolf Grillias offers open studio time in nearly two-hour increments for different age groups (from toddler to adult), as well as specialized workshops focusing on mixed media, sewing, book making, painting to music, printmaking, and more. But don’t expect to paint the same bowl of fruit as everyone else in class. Rather than offering a step-by-step directed art lesson, Wolf Grillias has her students pick a medium that calls to them—wooden blocks, water color, thread—and work on their own project at their own pace. And if they hit a wall creatively, they can put the piece down and pick up another project, like a T-shirt or wishing stick. If needed, Wolf Grillias can step in to offer input or show a student a technique or skill. “It’s a community, a creative center,” Wolf Grillias said. “It’s definitely noncompetitive. I don’t direct art lessons; I want to facilitate where their heart is. It’s more personable.” Can things get messy with so many options and media? Sure. But messy is where magic often happens, according to Wolf Grillias. “Having availability, but not mayhem—it’s a fine line,” she said. “There’s an aesthetic way of setting up the different materials so that it draws their interest innately.”

A little bit of everything

Lila Creative Community in Arroyo Grande offers open studio time for different age groups from Monday through Friday, with a drop-in rate of $15 per session. Owner Lori Wolf Grillias also offers specialized workshops, like the upcoming Stitching Our Ideas Together workshop. The four-day series will be held on Sept. 28 and 29 and Oct. 5 and 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will focus on exploring drawing, painting, gelli plate printing, collage, and sewing as participants repurpose various materials together into one large piece or several smaller pieces. The cost is $260 per person. Visit lila.community for more information.

At a recent session with two brothers, ages 3 and 5, Wolf Grillias began their time together by playing a game with sticks on a board with a grid, which led to talking about straight and curved lines. Then the boys did a printmaking activity using paint, paper, and old gift cards before building structures with cardboard. Wolf Grillias hopes that the environment at Lila Creative Community will allow people to see the possibilities within themselves for making art. “For so many years I’ve heard people say, ‘I can’t make art,’” Wolf Grillias said. “I firmly believe anyone can create. Art isn’t just making things look real. It’s about people coming together and enjoying the creative process.” Δ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is scribbling away at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

FACILITATOR Lori Wolf Grillias never teaches a directed drawing or painting lesson at Lila Creative Community in Arroyo Grande. Instead the artist allows the student to lead their creative work and facilitates and offers input as requested.

EXPLORE Artists at Lila Creative Community are encouraged to hop around from medium to medium and project to project rather than halting work completely when inspiration for one piece dries up.

Cayucos jeweler makes pieces with local sea glass

few steps from his shop’s front door on the beach in Cayucos is as far as Jason Cordero needs to go to find materials for his high-end jewelry pieces. “I had no clue that the following of sea glass is so big. It’s like a gemstone,” Cordero said. “I really got wrapped up into it.”

The jeweler started working with sea glass almost five years ago, around the same time he opened Cabana Jewelry and Gifts in Cayucos. Cordero stumbled upon it when his brother’s friend offered to teach him how to work with sea glass. “I’ve always been into art and jewelry as a medium you can use,” he said. “Someone can wear what I make. It’s a little more personal. I made a couple pieces [with sea glass], and I realized they sold right away. The town had embraced sea glass as its thing before I came along.” It makes sense, considering that sea glass has permeated the tiny beach town’s culture since 2011, when the first Sea Glass Festival was held in Cayucos. Many of the coastal town’s residents regularly comb the beaches in search of green, blue, and even red sea glass. While some may consider sea glass jewelry to be kitschy, Cordero takes a high-end approach to his work, incorporating silver, gold, diamonds,

sapphires, and other precious gemstones onto his pieces, which can range in price from $110 to $4,700. The sea glass he uses is either collected locally by himself, his son, friends, or friendly sea glass hobbyists. Cordero also doesn’t shape his sea glass, so the way you see it in the store is exactly how it looked on the beach. “Every piece of sea glass is different,” Cordero said. “You’re never going to get the same one. I can reproduce designs. But I can’t reproduce the sea glass.” Cordero also finds that many customers have an emotional pull to sea glass. One couple came in to buy a piece

of custom designed sea glass jewelry for their young daughter, who had just successfully completed three years of chemotherapy. The mother explained to Cordero that the piece marking the milestone had to have sea glass in it because, “Sea glass goes into the ocean, gets beaten up, and comes out beautiful.” On another occasion, a vacationing family came in to buy a piece for their mother with a terminal illness, who was along for the trip, and maybe had days to live. Cordero made a piece for her within hours that same day. “I’m supposed to be doing this I think,” he said. “It’s different. It’s something that’s special. Sea glass has an allure to it.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is down by the seashore at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

great choice for Malkin, and a solid counter to Kingsley’s menace. It seems nothing can go smoothly with this mission, and when their flight out of Argentina gets delayed by a week and a half, the extraction team is forced to hole-up in their safe house and pray they can ride out the days and get the signature they need from Eichmann. Everyone on the team suffers from their own hauntings; some wear revenge on their sleeves, others carry it closer to their hearts. Overall this story is a gripping one, and while there are some things about the film I didn’t like, there was plenty here— character work especially—that shined.

No, I think the only reason the film worked as well as it did was its source material. It’s a pretty incredible tale, escaping Nazi Germany with dozens of other high-ranking Nazi officers; living in Argentina, a country and government apparently amenable to Nazi philosophy; a daring infiltration by foreign spies; an abduction and interrogation; a harrowing last-minute extraction and return to Israel; a worldwide trial that revealed Nazi atrocities in all their unfiltered horrors; and, finally, justice for a man at the center of it all. How could it be anything short of amazing, right? And yet Operation Finale never quite rises to its potential for me. It’s worth a matinee

ARRANGIARSI: PIZZA AND THE ART OF LIVING What’s it rated? Not rated What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Saturday, Sept. 8, at The Palm (4:15 p.m.; $12 at eventbrite.com) Bay Area filmmaker Matteo Troncone helms this documentary about the pizza of Naples, Italy, but it’s really about much more—the history of Italy, how to survive poverty, and most importantly how to enjoy life free from the rat race. As the film opens, Troncone’s life is in shambles. His girlfriend broke up with him

over email, the budding actor just learned he wasn’t chosen for the biggest role of his career, and he’s suddenly homeless, living in a 1985 VW van. Working up the Big Sur coast at Esalen Institute, he’s handed a free ticket to Italy, so he decides to visit Naples, home of his father’s poorer side of the family. There, he learns about “arrangiarsi,” the art of arranging yourself in whatever circumstances you find yourself in. Over the course of the documentary, Troncone interviews makers of traditional Neapolitan pizza as well as the producers of the ingredients—tomato growers, wheat farmers and flour millers, buffalo ranchers, and mozzarella makers. He hears theories about why Naples pizza is the best—Mt. Vesuvius soil and the lava flowing deep under Naples’ ancient city, the vibrancy of the people and their

if historical drama is your passion, but despite excellent performances, high production values, and competent direction, I’d have been happier renting this. It’s a lit fuse that fizzles out instead of explodes. Anna While the escape is harrowing and the time in the safe house is taut with worry of their discovery, I agree that this film never quite rises to the level of great. It does however convey a truly fascinating slice of history, and if anything it made me want to learn about the real-life mission and trial. Because much of the meat of the film happens in the smallness of the safe house, there is no cinematic aesthetic that demands a view on the big screen. Like you, I would have been OK with a home viewing on this one. That being said, there’s a lot of good going on here, and while I wouldn’t recommend that you rush to the next available showing, that doesn’t mean it should be skipped altogether. Both Isaac and Kingsley are strong in their roles, and despite the constant tension there are some genuinely fun moments, mostly thanks to one-liners via Nick Kroll who plays Rafi Eitan, another member of the team hell-bent on getting Eichmann to Israel. I’d recommend a matinee especially for fans of historical films, but if the subject material doesn’t strike your fancy, wait a few months for it to show up at Redbox. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

REVIEW SCORING FULL PRICE .... It’s worth the price of an evening showing MATINEE ........ Save a few bucks, catch an afternoon showing RENT IT .......... It’s worth a rental STREAM IT ..... Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time culture, even the water, which he actually takes samples of, brings home to San Francisco, and has tested. It’s got high mineral content, FYI. It’s a real foodie film, but it’s also about Naples itself, its history, its people, how it was treated post-reunification of Northern and Southern Italy. There’re politics, the mafia, and how street musicians and artists see the city. This is a film in love with Naples and determined to make you love it too. It’s also about Troncone’s personal journey, not just to Italy but through life, the choices he makes to free himself from “the wheel,” as he describes the 9-to-5 grind. He shows us the Neapolitan way of arranging oneself, but he can’t always follow the sage advice he’s found. He runs out of money, his wallet is stolen, his camera breaks down. All his talk of making

lemonade when life hands you lemons sometimes goes to the wayside. It’s a slice of honest, real life. It’s also a reminder that life can get messy no matter how hard you try to arrange it otherwise. This is a very low-budget film mainly shot on handheld camcorder. It’s somewhat disjointed, moving through time, back and forth from Italy to the U.S., and along various plot paths. The film’s chaos in some way mirrors the chaos of life in Naples, a giant metropolis that isn’t managed effectively, that suffers from crime, but whose people embrace the chaos, both feeding it and feeding off of it. The film proves one thing is certain: Even without money, talent and tenacity is enough to make a quality film. La vita è bella! Ciao! (91 min.; arrangiarsifilm.com) —Glen Starkey

Chu directs this rom-com based on Kevin Kwan’s best selling novel about native New Yorker and Chinese economics professor Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), who travels to Singapore to meet her boyfriend Nick Young’s (Henry Golding) ridiculously wealthy family. Once there, Rachel realizes Nick’s the most eligible bachelor in Asia, and all the single women are out to undermine her. While it doesn’t stray far from the usual rom-com antics, the glitz and gaudy world of Singapore’s oldest and richest families adds just the right amount of zip and pop to this fun and fancy flick.

hirty, flirty, and thriving. It’s a headline in fictional Poise magazine, a mantra that young Jenna Rink (Jennifer Garner) uses as a wish, and a phrase I’ve always been captivated with. When I first saw 13 Going on 30, I was going through the same awkward pre-teen years Jenna finds herself in at the start of the movie—being 30 didn’t sound like a bad trade to me either. Even now, out of my awkward phase and into my young 20s, I still find the idea of 30 appealing. This movie likely shaped my fixation on 30 more than I would like to admit. 13 Going on 30 is a relatively tame (yet addicting) rom-com with a wild premise and great characters. Jenna Rink is an unpopular 13-year-old girl who wants to skip past her adolescent struggles to what she believes is the good part of life. Her childhood best friend, Matt Flamhaff (Mark Ruffalo), is just as dorky, yet doesn’t get caught up in their social status. After Jenna’s 13th birthday party doesn’t go

THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Stadium 10 Brian Henson, son of Muppet Show creator Jim, directs this Muppet satire set in a world where humans and puppets coexist, though puppets are considered second-class citizens. When the cast of a popular 1980s puppet TV series is murdered one after another, disgraced former Los Angeles Police Department Detective Phil Philips (voiced by Bill Barretta), now a private eye, takes on the case. Soon he’s forced to work with his old partner, LAPD Detective Connie Edwards (Melissa McCarthy), to find the killer. It takes about five minutes for the novelty of puppets swearing, smoking, and generally acting just as terrible as human beings to wear off. The film’s transgressive premise certainly has promise—after all, it raised the ire of Muppet fans who considered it insulting and irreverent—but instead of bucking expectations, The Happytime Murders plays right into the lowest of lowbrow common denominators.

to plan, she wishes to skip ahead to 30. Though the logistics aren’t clear—some magic dust seems to be involved—Jenna wakes up the next day in a New York apartment as her 30-year-old self. She is an editor at Poise magazine, dates an attractive hockey player, and wears designer everything. However, Jenna quickly learns the woman she turned into isn’t exactly who she had hoped to become. The romance kicks in when Jenna reunites with her childhood friend Matt. There aren’t any traditional steamy scenes (that would just be weird), but you’ll still find yourself happily rooting for the two. Unsurprisingly, they keep each other young. For a movie that borders on silly most of the time, I’m always surprised how emotional it can be. First, it deals with the desire to be older and surer of yourself, then the need to be young and innocent again. No matter what stage of life you’re in, it’s easy to long for a different time and different place in life. Little moments throughout the film also prove unexpectedly poignant. In one scene, Jenna visits her childhood home and her parents (who usually can’t even get a phone call) in search of her youth. Billy Joel’s “Vienna” plays over the montage-esque sequence and is guaranteed to draw out a few tears. I usually catch myself humming the melody a day or two after a good 13 Going on 30 re-watching.

However, one of Eli’s many outings for metal leads to an unexpected discovery: a futuristic gun of unknown origins. What starts as a fun prop to pose with in front of the mirror soon gets some use when Eli’s brother enters the picture. Eli’s brother, Jimmy (Jack Reynor), is freshly released from jail and needs to repay his debt to a dangerous criminal gang. His haphazard mission to acquire enough cash—$60,000, to be exact—goes awry. Desperate to both protect Eli’s life and hide him from the truth, Jimmy takes Eli on a road trip to Tahoe. Overall, Kin is a journey that may not be worth taking. You’ll likely feel as if you’re watching two separate movies mashed together; it borders on family drama and uneventful sci-fi. In one scene, the brothers’ eventual road trip companion Milly (Zoë Kravitz) asks who exactly these brothers are, with their $60,000 and a space gun. It’s a question I think

Unfortunately, the film would have benefited a lot if the angle was introduced earlier on.

The Palm (ends 9/6) Lenny Abrahamson directs Lucinda Cox’s horror-mystery script based on Sarah Waters’ novel about Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson), who in 1948 is called to the crumbling Hundreds Hall, home of the Ayers family and where his mother once worked as a housemaid. Upon arrival, Faraday finds something paranormal, causing occurrences that science or medicine can’t explain. He also has a vivid memory of a beautiful summer day he spent at the estate as a child with his mother, who brought him to a fair the Ayers hosted. After that day in 1919, a series of tragic events began to occur, the first when Mrs. Ayers’ (Charlotte Rampling) first daughter, Suki, died shortly after Faraday’s first visit to the home as an 8-year-old. Flash forward to the present summer in 1948, when the eldest Ayers son, Roderick (Will Poulter), begins his medical treatment with Faraday to help with the pain of a terrible leg injury he incurred in World War II. Roderick begins telling the doctor of an evil presence he feels in the home and even warns him of something terrible he believes will happen. Faraday, who ignores Roderick, begins making more frequent visits to the estate and catches the attention of Caroline (Ruth Wilson), Mrs. Ayers’ second daughter. Caroline, who has fatefully become the main caretaker of both her mother and brother, invites Faraday to attend a rare party that her mother decides to host for their neighbors. The night ends horrifically when suddenly one of the party guests’ daughter is maliciously attacked by Caroline’s dog. The dog’s sudden bad behavior goes unexplained. Faraday’s attraction for Caroline begins to intensify and he asks her for her hand in marriage. Caroline agrees in hopes of finally being able to leave the crumbling estate; however, Faraday’s infatuation with the estate MOVIES continued page 43

Darkness ominously hovers throughout the film, as it moves slowly from one tragic incident to another. Mrs. Ayers is the next to experience the unexplained. She quickly begins to lose touch with reality and experiences the unknown presence intensely. Roderick begs for Faraday to get Caroline out of the house after Mrs. Ayers experiences what he did—insanity is no longer an explanation for their odd behavior. Caroline eventually becomes a victim to the cursed house the night before Faraday decides to finally leave. The next morning, she is found at the bottom of the staircase. Did she jump? Or did something, or someone, push her? The very last scene shows 8-year-old Faraday staring down at the fallen Caroline at the bottom of the stairwell. Was the evil presence him all along? Or did the ghost of Suki haunt the house all these years?

I was wrong. Mile 22 takes a tired, eternally rehashed storyline and tries to spruce itself up with a lead character whose backstory and apparent ADD supposedly makes him interesting. Instead, Silva is just an unlikeable asshole. Yes, this film is better than most straight-to-video fare, but only because it has better actors, director, and budget. Story-wise, Mile 22 is a clunker.

In addition to a series of amazing action sequences the film manages to conjure up emotional elements as well, since Hunt must protect both Julia and Ilsa and prove to the powers-that-be, that saving both the one and the many is the real job of the IMF.

The film also stars Irrfan Khan as Robert, who becomes Agnes’ puzzle partner. What a lovely and heartbreaking film this is! This is really less about puzzling and more about a personal awakening. Macdonald is wonderful as Agnes, a melancholy wife and mother who sleepwalks through her days in service to her family. We see her prepare for a party, host, ask her husband Louie (David Denman) if he’s having a good time … and then we realize the party is for Agnes’ own birthday. She’s a doormat, and her husband and kids—shy, miserable older son Ziggy (Bubba Weiler) and younger more confident son Gabe (Austin Abrams)—take her for granted. In short, her life is an unfulfilling grind. She needs to learn to take care of herself. As the film opens, it’s hard to tell the time period.

Another of the gifts she receives is a 1000-piece puzzle, and alone at home, she becomes consumed by it— her mathematical mind perfectly attuned to solving it quickly. Even though she’s a brief train ride from New York City, she hasn’t been there in years. But in search of another puzzle, she goes to a puzzle shop and sees an ad posted by a champion puzzler looking for a partner. She answers the ad and meets Robert (a truly wonderful Khan), an eccentric but lonely inventor, whose one invention—something to do with magnets—has made him rich. Their friendship opens Agnes’ world and is the heart of the film. Robert also imparts his understanding of the world, its randomness and uncontrollability, and explains that his love for puzzles is the wonderful sense of control it allows him.

Moreno said all she had to do was casually bring up the possibility of moving to Cambria, and her friend was immediately on board (the perfect weather and old-school charm make it a pretty easy sell). Barry’s sister, Marianne, soon joined the team. Together, all three women run the restaurant, wearing about a hundred different hats between them. “Things started going fast from there,” Moreno said. “Us three do the majority of everything. We don’t have to worry about the restaurant on one of our days off, because one of us is always there.” That said, Moreno is the true brainchild and executive chef, and her dishes are crafted from the heart. Her quasi-Iatlian menu changes with the seasons and with her whims, although some staples (the pizzas and soups) are always on. Although there has been a bit of drama regarding the restaurant’s Caesar salad (some want it with more fishy anchovy taste and others love the subtle, lemony flavor), everyone can agree on the Rolioli (the chef’s own invention: lasagna meets ravioli with a cheesy filling and baked with a choice of marinara, puttanesca, or mushroom ragout). Same goes for the desserts, especially after a long late-night drive up Highway 1, when a sugar fix is in order. Fresh baked cakes, cupcakes, apple pie, chocolate truffles, and cookies are always a welcome companion to a well-brewed batch of Peet’s Coffee. “We have a lot of regulars who come in to pick up pizzas to heat up at home, but we also have late arrivals into town who generally would not have many choices in Cambria after 8:30 p.m. besides the gas station,” Moreno said. “Really, it’s everyone down here; all kinds of people. Everyone ends up at Mezzo Italiano eventually.” ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain can’t think of anything more cozy than roasted chicken soup on a cold Cambria night.

Of course, you can’t have a true “tequila night” without letting loose and ending up on someone’s Instagram stories. Gear up for a worldly whirlwind of live music, including salsa, reggae, rock, and cumbia. If you are somehow able to keep your butt from shaking all over the place, you might find yourself checking out the array of food and arts vendors, but ... my guess is you’ll be making up some new dance moves before the event is over. For more information and tickets, see the event on eventbrite.com. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain has invented her own dance move, and it’s called “The T.V. Dinner.” She can be reached at hthomas@ newtimesslo.com.

H AYLEY’S BITES NEWS NIBS No pits: Morro Bay’s AvoMarg Fest kicks off this Sept. 8! In honor of the fest, I’d like to share a bit of AvoKnowledge with you: Did you know the best way to test the ripeness of an avocado is not actually to press it with your fingers? (The outside can be damaged that way). Instead, look at the nubbin where the stem used to be. If it’s green, let it sit for a while. If it’s turned yellow, make guacamole! Learn more about the fest at avomargfest.com … Croma Vera Winery is hosting a grand opening party this Sept. 8 at its new SLO tasting room this Sept. 8. Expect apps by Fromagerie Sophie, discounts on wine, and lots of mingling with local wine folks (3592 Broad St., suite 106, SLO; RSVP to mindy@cromavera.com).

ANOTHER ROUND! SLOcally made cocktails pouring all month long: Calwise Spirits in Paso Robles offers up a unique spin on their popular Big Sur Gin. Rested in whiskey barrels and aged for a year, it’s got that bright botanical gin taste with notes of juniper, lemon peel, white sage, and bay leaf, yet the finish is all “whiskey.” … Opolo’s Thick Mint grape spirit is steeped with cacao nibs and lavish mint oils, and Willow Creek Distillery’s Nutty Behavior is made with organic estate walnuts, vanilla, and spices. Try many of these bottles plus so many more during SLO Cocktail Month this September! For more information and participating bars/ eateries, go to slococktailmonth.com.

FOR TICKETS, VISIT:

www.SLOWINDS.ORG or phone 805-464-9434

WINE SPOTLIGHT Mission accomplished: The members of the Pleasant Valley Wine Trail have announced a $10,000 donation to the Friends of Mission San Miguel. The donation was made possible from proceeds of the sold-out Evening Under the Estrella Sky Winemakers’ Dinner. Owners and winemakers from member wineries paired their wines with a four-course dinner, enjoyed by more than 150 guests during an evening at Old Mission San Miguel (you can get tickets for next year’s event now at pleasantvalleywinetrail.com) ... Did you know that you can stay overnight at plenty of Paso Robles wineries? Well, you can! Try a staycation at Alta Colina Trailer Pond, Cass Vineyard & Winery Geneseo Inn, Grey Wolf Cellars/ Barton Family Wines/ KroBar Distilling Farmhouse Suite, Paso Port/ Per Caso Wines/ Pendray’s Distillery The Quinta and The Studio, SummerWood Winery & Inn, Thacher Winery Homestead Hill, or Zenaida Cellars The Winemaker’s Loft and The Cellarmaster’s Studio. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain believes in staycations over vacations. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

LegaL Notices

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Now is an excellent time to feel and explore and understand and even appreciate your sadness. To get you in the mood, here’s a list of sadnesses from novelist Jonathan Safran Foer: sadness of the could-have-been; sadness of being misunderstood; sadness of having too many options; sadness of being smart; sadness of awkward conversations; sadness of feeling the need to create beautiful things; sadness of going unnoticed; sadness of domesticated birds; sadness of arousal being an unordinary physical state; sadness of wanting sadness.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When Warsan Shire was a child, she immigrated to the UK with her Somalian parents. Now she’s a renowned poet who writes vividly about refugees, immigrants, and other marginalized people. To provide support and inspiration for the part of you that feels like an exile or fugitive or displaced person, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I offer you two quotes by Shire. 1. “I belong deeply to myself.” 2. “Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself—what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing. Re-create and repeat.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you have any feral qualities lurking deep down inside you? Have you ever felt a mad yearning to communicate using howls and yips instead of words? When you’re alone, do you sometimes dispense with your utensils and scoop the food off your plate with your fingers? Have you dreamed of running through a damp meadow under the full moon for the sheer ecstasy of it? Do you on occasion experience such strong erotic urges that you feel like you could weave your body and soul together with the color green or the sound of a rain-soaked river or the moon rising over the hills? I ask these questions, Taurus, because now is an excellent time to draw on the instinctual wisdom of your feral qualities.

SAGITTARIUS

(May 21-June 20): “Close some doors today,” writes novelist Paulo Coelho. “Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” I endorse his advice for your use, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to practice the rough but fine art of saying NO. It’s time for you to make crisp decisions about where you belong and where you don’t; about where your future fulfillment is likely to thrive and where it won’t; about which relationships deserve your sage intimacy and which tend to push you in the direction of mediocrity.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

(June 21-July 22): To casual observers you may seem to be an amorphous hodgepodge, or a simmering mess of semiinteresting confusion, or an amiable dabbler headed in too many directions at once. But in my opinion, casual observers would be wrong in that assessment. What’s closer to the symbolic truth about you is an image described by poet Carolyn Forché: grapes that are ripening in the fog. Here’s another image that resonates with your current state: sea turtle eggs gestating beneath the sand on a misty ocean beach. One further metaphor for you: the bright yellow flowers of the evening primrose plant, which only bloom at night.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not many goats can climb trees, but there are daredevils in Morocco that do. They go in quest of the delicious olive-like berries that grow on argan trees. The branches on which they perch may be 30 feet off the ground. I’m naming them as your power creature for the coming weeks. I think you’re ready to ascend higher in search of goodies. You have the soulful agility necessary to transcend your previous level of accomplishment.

GEMINI

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I want to make sure that the groove you’re in doesn’t devolve into a rut. So I’ll ask you unexpected questions to spur your imagination in unpredictable directions. Ready? 1. How would you describe the untapped riches in the shadowy part of your personality? 2. Is there a rare object you’d like to own because it would foster your feeling that the world has magic and miracles? 3. Imagine the perfect party you’d love to attend and how it might change your life for the better. 4. What bird most reminds you of yourself? 5. What’s your most evocative and inspiring taboo daydream? 6. In your past, were there ever experiences that made you cry for joy in ways that felt almost orgasmic? How might you attract or induce a catharsis like that sometime soon? (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): By volume, the Amazon is the largest river in the world. But where does it originate? Scientists have squabbled about that issue for more than 300 years. Everyone agrees the source is in southwestern Peru. But is it the Apurímac River? The Marañón? The Mantaro? There are good arguments in favor of each. Let’s use this question as a poetic subtext as we wonder and meditate about the origin of your life force, Virgo. As is the case for the Amazon, your source has long been mysterious. But I suspect that’s going to change during the next 14 months. And the clarification process begins soon.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Once in a while came a moment when everything seemed to have something to say to you.” So says a character in Alice Munro’s short story “Jakarta.” Now I’m using that message as the key theme of your horoscope. Why? Because you’re at the peak of your ability to be reached, to be touched, to be communicated with. You’re willing to be keenly receptive. You’re strong enough to be deeply influenced. Is it because you’re so firmly anchored in your understanding and acceptance of who you are? (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1928, novelist Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to her friend Saxon Sidney Turner. “I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading,” she confided, “since one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs 10 others at the same time.” My usual inclination is to counsel you Sagittarians to focus on one or two important matters rather than on a multitude of semi-important matters. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m departing from tradition to suggest you adopt Woolf’s approach to books as your approach to everything. Your life in the coming weeks should be less like an acoustic ballad and more like a symphony for 35 instruments.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): From 49-45 BC, civil war wracked the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar led forces representing the common people against armies fighting for the aristocracy’s interests. In 45 BC, Caesar brought a contingent of soldiers to Roman territory in North Africa, intent on launching a campaign against the enemy. As the general disembarked from his ship, he accidentally slipped and fell. Thinking fast, he exclaimed, “Africa, I have tight told of you!” and clasped the ground, thus implying he had lowered himself on purpose in a ritual gesture of conquest. In this way, he converted an apparent bad omen into a positive one. And indeed, he won the ensuing battle, which was the turning point that led to ultimate victory and the war’s end. That’s good role modeling for you right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Below are sweet words I’ve borrowed from poets I love. I invite you to use them to communicate with anyone who is primed to become more lyrically intimate with you. The time is right for you to reach out! 1. “You look like a sea of gems.” —Qahar Aasi 2. “I love you with what in me is unfinished.” —Robert Bly 3. “Yours is the light by which my spirit’s born.” —E. E. Cummings 4. “Tell me the most exquisite truths you know.” —Barry Hannah 5. “It’s very rare to know you, very strange and wonderful.” —F. Scott Fitzgerald 6. “When you smile like that you are as beautiful as all my secrets.” —Anne Carson 7. Everything you say is “like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones.” —Sylvia Plath ∆
