n June 5, the inside of the large barnlike structure at Holland Ranch was bathed in a red glow from a large neon sign on one of the walls. As a DJ played Marvin Gayes’ “What’s Going On,” Holland family members and supporters spoke softly to each other and traded a few hugs. They’d come to watch the election results in the expensive and contentious race for SLO County Sheriff. The crowd at Holland Ranch was rooting for their candidate, local private investigator Greg Clayton. Clayton, who’d never run for office before, acknowledged his underdog status earlier in the night before the first returns came in. “We gave it our best,” Clayton said. “It was a David versus Goliath situation and I knew it. We were up against big money and big influence in our local community.” Initial results favored incumbent SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson with a commanding lead. As of June 6, preliminary voting totals showed that lead remained virtually unchanged, with Parkinson garnering 32,531 votes, or 61.52 percent of the vote compared to 20,309 votes, or 38.41 percent, for Clayton. While there were still some votes left to count the day after the election, Parkinson’s re-election is all but guaranteed. The main focus of Clayton’s campaign against Parkinson revolved around the highly publicized and controversial death of Andrew Holland, a 36-year-old schizophrenic man who died in the SLO County Jail in April 2017 after being strapped into a restraint chair for 46 hours. Holland’s family received a $5 million settlement from the county as a result of the death and backed Clayton’s campaign, donating more than $89,000 in monetary and nonmonetary contributions. During the campaign, the Holland family and Clayton were highly critical of Parkinson’s response to Andrew’s death, claiming that he engaged in a cover-up and misled both them and the public about the facts surrounding the death. Clayton said that his primary focus in the campaign was to carry forward the narrative of Holland’s death and bring attention to the

VICTORY SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson celebrates with his family after preliminary election results show him winning a third term. Parkinson faced a difficult and acrimonious campaign against his challenger, local private investigator Greg Clayton.

mistreatment of mentally ill inmates in the jail. “Win or lose this election, I held true to that promise,” Clayton said. “I stood up, but I didn’t stand alone.” Less than 10 miles from Holland Ranch, Ian Parkinson and his supporters gathered at SLO Brew in downtown SLO to celebrate. Amid green and gold balloons and constituents sporting stickers and hats bearing his name, Parkinson reflected on the campaign for his third term, which he characterized as one of the toughest and most challenging he’s ever faced. During his run, Parkinson was the focus of withering criticism from his opponents and critics, particularly after footage of Andrew Holland’s death was leaked to the public in March, sparking public protests and calls for his resignation. Parkinson publically fended off a stream of accusations, including questions of when he found out about Holland’s death and revelations that the inmate was given a sedative early into his stay in the chair despite claims that he’d been combative with staff. “I was accused of everything under the sun,” Parkinson told New Times. But as the attacks from his critics intensified, Parkinson’s supporters flocked to his defense, many of them opening their wallets to help him. In the wake of the Holland video’s release, Parkinson received tens of thousands of dollars from individuals and local businesses. As of Election Day, Parkinson’s campaign raised a total of $329,000 in monetary and nonmonetary contributions, according to campaign finance records. While the amount money he received was impressive, Parkinson said that the encouragement from his supporters was more important and buoyed him during a campaign that was tough on both himself and his family. “I have established a solid relationship with this community, and people believed in me,” Parkinson said. “It helped get me through a long year.” Even in victory, Parkinson said there was still work to be done. He plans to continue moving forward with implementing reforms to mental and medical care for inmates at the jail. He said he would work to keep the promises he made during his campaign. “I have to put my money where my mouth is,” he said.

‘WE GAVE IT OUR BEST’ Local private investigator Greg Clayton thanks supporters at Holland Ranch June 5. Clayton challenged SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson, but preliminary voting totals show he was unable to unseat the incumbent sheriff.

Incumbent SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow, an ally of Parkinson’s, is also likely to win re-election over challenger Judge Mike Cummins, whom the Holland family also helped fund. Preliminary voting totals showed that Dow received 64.7 percent of the vote in that race. As Parkinson prepares to embark on his third term, the issue of deaths at the jail isn’t likely to fade away entirely. The FBI has yet to release the results of an investigation into possible civil rights violations in connection with inmate deaths at the facility, and legal claims and lawsuits against the county from families of other inmates who’d died in the jail remain ongoing. Holland’s father, Carty, said that even though the candidates the family supported lost, their work to advocate for better treatment of mentally ill inmates through the nonprofit Holland Family Alliance, would continue. “We are not through. We are still going to move forward,” he told New Times. “This election was a stepping stone, not a final destination.” Δ —Chris McGuinness NEWS continued page 7

Gibson re-elected; Compton, Paulding race too close to call

In a San Luis Obispo County primary election dominated by landslide victories for incumbents, the race for a critical swing vote on the county Board of Supervisors remained too close to call as of press time. Both Lynn Compton and Jimmy Paulding left their respective election night parties in Nipomo on June 5 without news to celebrate or lament. The two candidates seeking a seat to represent South County and nudge a politically gridlocked fivemember board to the right or left stood in a virtual tie all night long. According to the latest tallies available before New Times went to press, Compton, the conservative-leaning incumbent, held an 83-vote edge over Paulding, a 32-yearold liberal-leaning attorney, with late mail-in ballots still outstanding. The vote split 6,092 for Compton and 6,009 for Paulding. The race that raked in more than $500,000 in combined campaign donations and emerged as the battleground for the future direction of SLO County politics produced as much drama on election night as it did on the campaign trail. Compton jumped out to an early lead after the first round of mailin results were published at 8:30 p.m. But by 11 p.m., Paulding had moved ahead by a razor-thin margin. The final election night count, published shortly after midnight, showed Compton in front. At Paulding’s election night party in a reception room in Trilogy—a Nipomo neighborhood that heavily supported Paulding—the mood was optimistic and jovial. A live band played while roughly 200 supporters and Paulding family members chatted and danced. Since more registered Republicans opted for mailin voting than registered Democrats, Paulding was pleased to be behind by less than 100 votes after the first round of absentee ballots. Though Paulding still trailed with all election day ballots counted, he said he believes between 2,000 and 4,000 absentee votes are still pending. County ClerkRecorder Tommy Gong did not confirm that number to New Times on June 6, but he said he estimates about 20,000 ballots countywide still need to be counted. “I’m still optimistic,” Paulding told New Times on June 6. “That could easily swing it in my direction. I can only hope more of my supporters were procrastinators.” Compton did not return New Times phone calls for comment before press time. She held an election night party at her campaign headquarters on Tefft Street in Nipomo that had cleared out shortly after 10 p.m. In SLO County’s other supervisorial election, incumbent 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson appeared to cruise to victory for a fourth term as the North Coast supervisor. He avoided a run-off in the general election by taking 60 percent of the preliminary vote in a three-man race, defeating Morro Bay businessman Jeff Eckles and attorney Patrick Sparks, who took 34 percent and 6.5 percent, respectively. As one of the board’s two liberal-leaning supervisors, Gibson’s win also cemented the significance of the 4th District race between Compton and Paulding. “We did it!” Gibson wrote on his Facebook page on June 5. “I appreciate my opponents, Eckles and Sparks, for running clean campaigns on the issues. I’m looking forward to serving the North

Coast for another four years and excited about all the projects ahead!” In another contentious county race, incumbent Assessor Tom Bordonaro likely fended off challenger David Boyer to win a fifth term—62 percent to 38 percent. Boyer and several members of the Assessor’s Office staff had accused Bordonaro of chronic absences from work spanning several years, which Bordonaro partly denied and partly attributed to medical issues. Tim Covello, a court commissioner, and Hernaldo Baltonado, an appointed judge, claimed the two open SLO County Superior Court judge seats by large margins, defeating defense attorney Ilan Funke-Bilu and Deputy District Attorney Andy Cadena, respectively, per election night counts. —Peter Johnson

Cambria rejects more fire funding; county OKs providing fire services to Cayucos

The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors on June 5 unanimously approved a plan to provide fire services for the Cayucos community and a proposal to assess future fire protection needs countywide. First District Supervisor John Peschong said he doesn’t see how certain areas of the county can have the necessary fire coverage without the county stepping in. “I’m in a really tough place here, but I think we have to do this and I don’t want people to feel that they’re in jeopardy because we didn’t step up,” Peschong said. The Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to staff one structure engine 24/7 with two firefighters housed at the existing station in Cayucos, Station 56, through its contract with Cal Fire. The station will require renovations that are estimated to be $1.1 million. The Cayucos Fire Protection District filed a dissolution application with the San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) on Sept. 12, 2017, due to a lack of available volunteer staff and limited revenues to pay for fire services. The following month the county requested that LAFCO put the application on hold to allow the board to discuss the district’s proposal. With the approval of a service plan for the Cayucos community, LAFCO Executive Officer David Church said the application could be processed in the next few weeks and brought to the board’s July 19 meeting. Now that Cayucos is on a path to having fire coverage should the Cayucos Fire Protection District dissolve, it will not be part of the supervisors’ analysis of fire service levels from the county’s special districts. Districts in Cambria, Oceano, San Miguel, Templeton, and Santa Margarita are invited to participate in the analysis. In the June 5 primary election, preliminary results show that the Cambria community rejected a fire tax that would have maintained current staffing levels at its fire department. Measure A-18, a tax of $62.15 per parcel owner, would have paid for three fulltime firefighters. The measure needs two-thirds of the votes to pass, but the unofficial results show the tax only received 53 percent approval. The Five Cities Fire Authority, which services Oceano, Arroyo Grande, and Grover Beach, is still working on amending its joint powers agreement for fire coverage due to increasing expenses. The joint fire department that serves the communities of Oceano, Arroyo Grande,

and Grover Beach got its final approval from Grover Beach on a memorandum of agreement for the 2018-19 fiscal year at a June 4 City Council meeting. During public comment at the Board of Supervisors June 5 meeting, Oceano Community Services District Board President Karen White said that the county’s efforts give Oceano confidence in moving forward with its pursuit of getting economical fire coverage from the Five Cities Fire Authority. “We think the parallel effort is really positive, and we acknowledge there is a really great uncertainty as we go into funding and staffing and looking into another potentially very severe fire year to add to the stress,” White said. —Karen Garcia

Carbajal, Fareed to face off for U.S. House; Cunningham, Ostrander vie for Assembly A buzzing crowd of supporters of Republican candidate Justin Fareed sipped drinks at the Santa Maria Elks Lodge while awaiting the primary election results on the evening of June 5. By 10 p.m., Fareed’s campaign felt comfortable declaring that he had shut out Republican primary candidate Michael Erin Woody for the GOP ticket, ensuring that Fareed would challenge Rep. Salud Carbajal once again for 24th Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in November. In his victory speech, Fareed pointed to Carbajal as part of the “broken Washington system,” that was “mortgaging the finances of this country on the backs of our children and grandchildren.” “What I’m focused on are the issues that are affecting us locally,” Fareed told New Times. “I do believe we will have our people who are looking for more practical and commonsense leaders who will put the interest of people in front of politics, and that’s what I think we all hope for and that’s what I’m going to fight for— our values here on the Central Coast collectively.” Carbajal took home 52.6 percent of the vote to for the 24th Congressional District, while Fareed garnered 36.9 percent according to preliminary election results from the California Secretary of State. Republican Woody finished a distant third with just 10.5 percent of the vote. Carbajal spoke with New Times over the phone from Washington, D.C., saying he was pleased with the primary results leading into the general election in November. “Clearly the voters are putting the faith and trust in me to continue to represent the Central Coast in Washington,”

Carbajal said. “Water, jobs, bringing down health care and prescription drug costs, immigration reform, and continuing to work in a bipartisan way, as I did in local government and as I continue to do in Washington.” While Carbajal and Fareed will duke it out for the congressional seat in November, incumbent Republican 35th District Sate Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham will face off against challenger William Ostrander, an activist and Democrat. Cunningham, a lawyer from Templeton, received 56.1 percent of the vote districtwide, and 53.79 percent of the vote in SLO County. “Since my first day in office, I have fought for public safety, education, small business, and infrastructure on the Central Coast,” Cunningham said in a statement on his Facebook page. “I am proud of what I have accomplished so far and am excited to continue working for my constituents.” Ostrander received 43.9 percent of the districtwide vote, and 46.18 percent of the vote in SLO County. “Our work is cut out for us,” Ostrander said in an email comment to New Times. “But it is clear that I can out compete Mr. Cunningham on the issues.” —Joe Payne, Spencer Cole, and Chris McGuinness

Voters pass county pot tax; SLO sends one to next ballot

SLO County voters overwhelming approved a new cannabis tax on June 5 for pot businesses in unincorporated areas. On the same day, the SLO City Council put the finishing touches on its own cannabis tax for voters to decide on in November. Unofficial results show that Measure B-18, a 4-percent gross receipts tax on all county cannabis businesses except testing laboratories, passed 77 percent to 23 percent. The tax is intended to cover increased county spending related to cannabis in code and law enforcement, policy development, public health and education, and environmental cleanup. Annually over the next three years, the Board of Supervisors may increase the tax in 2 percent increments, to as high as 10 percent in 2020-21. Many local cannabis industry members criticized that maximum tax as too high. “At its highest percentage point, I don’t like it at all. But I also don’t think it will go that high,” said Jason Kallen, president of the SLO County chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). Kallen said the combination of local and NEWS continued page 8

state taxes is daunting for the emerging industry, though many understand the need for some taxes. “As a new industry, we’re going to get more traction if we are paying taxes,” he said. “But the combination of all the taxes together is a heavy tax burden. I would have probably rather seen them start at 2 percent and work up from there just to give the businesses a little time to adjust.” Meanwhile at SLO City Hall, the City Council unanimously approved its own cannabis tax measure with a slightly different structure. It would charge retailers a 6 percent tax—and manufacturers, distributors, and testing labs, 2.5 percent, 2 percent, and 1 percent taxes, respectively. By 2022, those taxes could increase to 10 percent, 4 percent, 3 percent, and 2.5 percent. Cultivators would see a $7 per square foot of canopy tax. The county expects to generate several million dollars per year from its tax, depending on how much the industry grows, while the city estimates $1.5 million in revenue by 2020 to boost police, fire, and park services, housing, and economic growth. —Peter Johnson

Man shot by AG police pleads insanity

A carjacking suspect shot by Arroyo Grande police after allegedly charging at an officer with a knife pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the charges brought against him by the SLO County District Attorney’s Office.

Christopher William Allen, 48, originally pleaded not guilty to the six criminal charges filed against him in connection with the Aug. 26, 2016, incident, but he amended his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity at a June 4 hearing. The charges against Allen include assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon, carjacking, attempted carjacking, and assault with a deadly weapon. According to police officials, Allen was shot multiple times by AG police Sgt. Shane Day after an encounter near the U.S. Highway 101 on-ramp at Grand Avenue. Police said that Allen, wielding a knife, attempted to rob an elderly man and carjack another individual at a nearby convenience store. When the officer confronted Allen, he allegedly brandished his knife in a threatening manner and charged, failing to heed commands to stop. Allen was taken to a local hospital for treatment and survived the shooting. Investigators from the SLO County District Attorney’s Office cleared Day in connection with the shooting. According to court records, a psychiatrist was appointed to evaluate Allen’s mental status in April. The evaluation was submitted to the court in late May, but the judge in the case made no finding on whether Allen was competent to stand trial. After Allen amended his plea, the court appointed two more psychiatrists to evaluate his sanity. The court expects to receive a report from those doctors on June 11. Allen remains in custody in SLO County Jail on $100,000 bond. ∆ —Chris McGuinness

Senior rides

FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

SLOCOG is ready to roll out a ride program for seniors amid protest from one local nonprofit

s the senior population of SLO County continues to grow at a rapid rate, the local organizations tasked with helping them get around town are trying to keep up. Many of the estimated 49,000 SLO County residents older than 65 need some kind of transportation, and the SLO County Council of Governments (SLOCOG) is rolling out another program to provide low-cost rides to seniors. It’s called “Senior Go,” and it allows SLO County seniors four round trips per month at a cost between $2.50 and $10 each way, depending on the mileage. The program will offer door-to-door and curbto-curb service for residents 65 and older Monday through Friday. But not everyone is supportive of the new program. A local nonprofit that has been providing senior rides in the county for years has raised concerns, claiming that it was passed up for a contract to operate Senior Go, which will deprive it of the funding it uses to provide rides for the elderly. It also noted that SLOCOG is giving the job to a company located outside of the county. SLOCOG, however, believes that the new program and contractor will provide more accountability for those taxpayer funds. Since 2006, local nonprofit

transportation service Ride-On has been providing senior transportation and receiving taxpayer funds in the form of a block grant through SLOCOG. But in 2017, SLOCOG’s board directed its staff to change course and move forward with obtaining a formal contract for a senior transportation program, creating a request for proposals and putting the contract out to bid. SLOCOG received bids from two agencies, Ride-On Transportation and Ventura Transit System Inc. (VTS), a company based in Camarillo. According to a SLOCOG staff report, a four-person selection committee reviewed the two bids and recommended choosing VTS for the two-year, $250,000 per year contract. “It was a process that was open and transparent,” said Pete Rodgers, SLOCOG deputy director. “VTS was the superior responder to the RFP.” But Ride-On Executive Director Mark Shaffer was critical of the bid award. He said that Ride-On was the better choice. Not only is Ride-On local, but Shaffer also said that his organization submitted a bid that was $89,000 lower than VTS. “They have very little experience in the county,” he said. “On paper they may look great, but that’s just on paper.”

SENIOR RIDES SLOCOG is preparing to award a contract to a Camarillo-based company to help provide transportation for SLO County seniors, but one local nonprofit has raised questions about the new program.

Shaffer said that Ride-On would need to find additional funding to replace the $250,000 that SLOCOG would divert to VTS for the Senior Go Program. In April, Ride-On officially protested the selection committee’s decision to recommend VTS, but SLOCOG’s executive director upheld the decision. SLOCOG has pushed back against several of Ride-On’s criticisms. The selection criteria were also based on multiple factors besides price, according to a SLOCOG staff report. While VTS is headquartered in Camarillo, it has a satellite office in SLO and has been

evin Allenstein remembers the first camp session that he put together with other students as new members of the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Chapter of Camp Kesem. His position in the chapter was camp counselor, and he also had the duty of planning daily activities for the campers. The lineup was the usual games and outdoor activities that take place at any summer camp: rock climbing, arts and crafts, ziplining, and capture the flag. “When I explain it [Camp Kesem] to people who have never heard of it they kind of think of it as sad, like the kids are going to camp because of this thing the parent has,” Allenstein said. The thing that Allenstein is referring to is cancer. Camp Kesem is a unique camp for children who have a parent who has been diagnosed with cancer, is in remission, or has died of the disease. When talking about Camp Kesem, he explains it as any other camp where a child can have fun with other kids their own age. It’s unique in the sense that the camp creates a support system made up of other children going through the same situation and a team of camp leaders and counselors. Camp Kesem was founded at Stanford University in 2000. It’s a nationwide community run by college students with the goal of supporting children through and beyond their parent’s cancer. Since

operating in the county for 10 years, the report also stated. Rodgers said that moving to a contract would also provide more financial transparency for the program. The proposed contract would require VTS to provide detailed accounting of how the $250,000 is spent, data on rides and services it provides with that money through the program, and information that is accessible to SLOCOG and the taxpaying public. The previous arrangement with RideOn wasn’t contract based, and past attempts to broker a memorandum of agreement between it and SLOCOG were unsuccessful, according to Rodgers. “We would rather go with this servicelevel contract so we have better public accountability and transparency,” he said. SLOCOG’s executive board unanimously voted to award the contract to VTS at its June 6 meeting. Shaffer told New Times that Ride-On would still continue to offer its own ride services for seniors. “The upside is that there will be more shuttles for seniors who need rides,” he said. The need for transportation for the county’s seniors is only going to increase in the coming years, as their numbers are expected to reach record highs. According to the California State Plan on Aging, the number of SLO County residents older than 65 is expected reach more than 93,300 by 2030. ∆

its establishment, Camp Kesem has expanded to more than 100 chapters in 40 states across the country. “It’s not just the one week of free summer camp that we provide, but it’s also the year round support we give them through different events that we hold throughout the year,” Allenstein said. In order for a university to establish a chapter on campus, students must enter their university in a poll. Students have to campaign in order to be chosen; in 2016, Cal Poly was chosen to establish its chapter. The following year was the first time that the chapter held its summer camp. “These kids all come to camp, and they know that there is something underlying that is connecting them together. To see them interact and form those bonds because of that connection is really awesome,” he said. Rhia Alger, a third year biology major, said the camp really provides a support for an underrepresented demographic of the community. “It’s not this special type of camp for just someone who is sick; it’s these kids that just want to have that normal fun experience,” Alger said. What makes the Cal Poly chapter of the camp unique compared to the other university chapters is that the group of counselors and the number of campers is smaller. She said while other universities have two week-

long camp sessions and hundreds of counselors, the Cal Poly chapter has a board of about 15 students, 20 counselors, and so far 35 campers. If a family cannot afford a sleeping bag or the expenses of traveling to the campsite, Alger said the chapter will connect families with resources and figure out how they can help. Alger said the Cal Poly chapter is seeking a mental health professional and nurse to join their team—both are on site during the camping experience. She said the chapter is also looking for donations such as camping supplies that can be found on their Amazon wish list under the name “Camp Kesem Wish List.” Camp Kesem at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is still accepting online applications for its free summer camp. It

will be held July 6 through 11 at Camp Whittier in Santa Barbara. To learn more about the camp or the local chapter, visit campkesem.org/cal-poly.

Unhappy SLO SLO County residents need to take off their blinders and see this place for what it is

recently saw that San Luis Obispo has been ranked as one of the happiest places to live in the U.S. Somehow, I think whoever came up with this designation for SLO had blinders on. Or maybe they’re just selective about who they ask about quality of life here. My wife and I have lived in SLO County for more than 40 years. We raised our children here. I’m not so ignorant as to think change isn’t going to occur. Change can be good; complacency is not. I think at one point in past years SLO might have qualified for being a happy place. We are also watching as quality of life here deteriorates. Don’t get me wrong, SLO has plenty of things to be proud of. The climate is great. There are plenty of outdoor activities to meet almost anyone’s desires. There are numerous venues for live music and the performing arts. World-class wineries abound. There are great opportunities for higher education (if you can afford it). Scenic Big Sur is just up the road. One of my daughters has already left the area due to high housing costs and poor employment opportunities. My other daughter and her family are looking to move for the same reasons. It’s a common occurrence among my friends and my children’s friends to leave the area due to housing and wage issues. They didn’t want to move; our “friendly” county just hasn’t ended up being so friendly for the

next generation. My grandkids can’t enjoy what my children were able to enjoy. Retirement for me may well require a move to someplace more affordable. Recently, my daughter took her children, 7 and 5 years old and 9 months old, into SLO for lunch. She bought sandwiches and drinks from a deli and went to Meadow Park to have a picnic and let the kids play. They never got as far as unwrapping their lunch. There were between 20 and 30 of what

They were walking around shouting at nobody in particular. There was no evidence of any organized free lunch program happening, which would cause this number of people in one place. Meadow Park just seems to have become a homeless hangout, not a place for kids to play. They packed it back in the car and thought they’d go have lunch by the creek downtown. Bad choice. It was worse than the park and the levels of inebriation were obvious. There were

men passed out on many of the benches. I’m not bashing homeless people. Saying San Luis Obispo is a happy place might fall on deaf ears if you happen to be homeless. I suppose SLO is happier than Skid Row in LA or the Tenderloin in SF. My problem is with the hypocrisy of San Luis Obispo being labeled one of the “Happiest Places” in our country, opposed to the socioeconomic conditions which bring about the problems of low wages combined with a high cost of living here in SLO. Homeless is just a symptom of a much bigger problem. It’s also one of the more visible problems. Aggressive panhandling has become commonplace downtown. I don’t have the solutions. I probably don’t even have a grasp on the magnitude of the problem. Prisons and jails are overcrowded, and non-violent offenders are often released early. Veterans aren’t receiving the help and care they need. Drug addiction is rampant with no good solution in sight, and there are not enough resources to deal with it. Untreated mental illness is a huge problem. There are things we can all do that don’t cost much. We can all be kinder to each other, donate to our local nonprofits, which serve the local homeless population. Volunteer. Do something. Do anything. Or keep your blinders on and do nothing, hoping things will change by themselves. But please take off the blinders and quit claiming what a happy place this is. ∆ Kirk Waddell says, “Sign me: Not so happy in SLO anymore.” Send comments through the editor at clanham@ newtimesslo.com or write a letter to the editor for publication and send it to letters@newtimesslo.com.

Oceano doesn’t want to be the Dunes’ doormat anymore

For more than three decades, State Parks has violated its Coastal Development Permit, which allowed vehicles to temporarily enter the Oceano Dunes SVRA at Grand and Pier Avenues but required designation of a permanent access. The community of Oceano has waited too long to be relieved of the burden of being the doormat of the Dunes. Thousands of vehicles enter Oceano’s beach via Pier Avenue and drive miles south along a “sand highway” to the OHV riding area. Heavy truck and trailer traffic on Pier Avenue makes the area unsafe for pedestrians and creates clouds of unhealthy dust. Our disadvantaged community is held back from redevelopment of this potential business corridor by State Park’s use of our street as its gateway. Along Pier Avenue, there are shuttered shops and restaurants, and neglected, litter-strewn and weedy lots. Residents and visitors to our beach town lack access to a beach free from the noise and danger of traffic. To allow revitalization of Pier Avenue, provide a safe beach, and protect endangered species and water quality, the Grand and Pier Avenue vehicle entrances to the ODSVRA must be closed and driving restricted to areas south of Arroyo Grande Creek.

Corporations and PACs (Political Action Committees), that have no morality and no ability to vote, have the same right to donate to campaigns as people—even if they are headquartered outside our district or our state. In the most recent fundraising reports put out by the secretary of state, Jordan Cunningham has received 88 percent of his campaign financing from corporations, whose only goal is to make money, and PACs—mostly from out of the district.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

An obscene personal attack A merican politics took a nosedive into a sewer last month with first “Roseanne” making a racist tweet about President Obama’s longtime closest personal advisor Valerie Jarett. For her braindead remark she lost her career of 40 years, was dumped by her network and her agent, and branded for life as an ignorant racist. This incident was quickly followed by another cruel remark from a diva of the left, Samantha Bee, host of the program Full Frontal. Roseanne’s tweet, made in the middle of the night and possibly while under the influence of something, wasn’t her first offense; she’s made a career of being offensive, allies herself with eccentrics all over the political landscape, adopts the most extreme conspiracy theories, and continuously allies herself with political hacks of the outer edges of American politics. She’s neither “conservative” nor “liberal” but an attention-seeker and political opportunist who finally sank her own ship. By contrast, Samantha Bee is a hardcore representative of the left, and her comment, directed at President Trump’s daughter Ivanka, was premeditated, scripted, vetted by her network producers, and included on her teleprompter. If you hadn’t heard what she said, it was in reaction to a photo Ivanka posted of herself and her infant son. Bee called Ivanka a “feckless c---t” and advised her to dress in a manner to seduce her father to get him to reverse his immigration policies. Bee’s remark “wasn’t just a

word, it was an obscene personal attack” on Ivanka, (Peggy Noonan’s rebuke to a female, liberal commentator on Sunday’s Meet the Press) misogynistic and extremely depraved, even for Samantha Bee. The response to Bee’s swan-dive into the sewer was far more muted, causing her to lose only two sponsors to date but no retribution from her network. Not surprising since the TBS network fully vetted her script and was complicit, as was her audience, which wildly cheered her disgusting performance. Adding insult to her performance, the following day Bee was also given an award. The “apology” she offered was rank hypocrisy, but being a scion of the left, all is forgiven. One might ask what prompts celebrities to degrade themselves and their audiences with this type of behavior? In the case of Bee, it might be her sinking ratings (and need to shock) as her show has dropped 29 percent year over year, according to Fox News, and shows considerable failings among millennials, whose approvals of her performance has nose-dived 47 percent since 2017. President Trump bears responsibility; his scorched earth, obscenity-laced campaign of highly personal attacks left a toxic political landscape. He owes the nation an apology and needs to learn humility is a virtue. Listening to other commentators, the continued slide into obscenities in lieu of policy discussion offers little hope for improvement. Roseanne’s self-destruction was assured by her touching the

Even without an earthquake, injected toxic waste could be migrating into the Santa Maria basin, which provides water for more than 46,000 people in the Five Cities region.” Sounds good, but “could allow” is speculation with no scientific basis. Her article is just another attack on fossil fuels based on the belief that burning fossil fuels is causing manmade climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But not all gases in the atmosphere absorb outgoing Infrared Radiation (IR). The gases that absorb the IR radiation and create the greenhouse effect are mainly water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Water vapor and water in clouds absorbs nearly 90 percent of the IR radiation, whereas CO2, CH4, and the other minor greenhouse gases together absorb little more than 10 percent of the radiation (“A Guide To Global Warming;” George C. Marshall Institute: Washington, DC, 2000). So global warming is mostly caused by water vapor, which we can do nothing about, yet the blame today for global warming is CO2, which is a very minor greenhouse gas. Peter Byrne Paso Robles

possible peace on the Korean peninsula to name but a few of his accomplishments. So, yes, I’m joyful! I’m also grateful that Donald Trump, a billionaire, who could have spent the waning years of his life jet setting across the world, living in luxury, spending time with the “swells” decided instead to dedicate himself, his energy, his savvy, to make America great again. He’s given up the best years of his later life for us, and, for that, we should all be exceedingly grateful. So with a year-and-a-half completed and six-and-a half to go, I thank Donald Trump for his sacrifice and wish him good health and more winning. Gary Wechter Arroyo Grande

Water vapor, greenhouse gases, and global warming

This is a response to the May 24 commentary by Katie Ferrari (“Battling oil”). She states that “once the groundwater is mixed with the chemicals used in steam injection (of oil wells), it becomes toxic.” However, she fails to provide proof that the groundwater actually is mixing with the chemicals used in steam injection. She is making a claim with no scientific study showing that the ground water is mixing with the chemicals. It sounds logical, but is it? Further confusing the issue, she states, “In addition to the above-ground destruction, such an earthquake could

American “third rail of politics” (racism). Samantha Bee, by contrast, assaulted a conservative, beautiful, graceful woman celebrating a mother-child relationship. This phenomenon has been growing for 40 years as the debasement of American culture continues unabated. It began in the mid-1960s with rejection of every cultural norm and authority with civility being the first casualty. It’s neither new nor confined to just conservatives. When Jimmy Carter was candidate Carter, he was ridiculed for his Southern accent and religious affiliations, was never accepted, even as president, as a genuine representative of liberal-progressives. They tolerated him as better than the Republican alternative, barely. I personally observed the contempt local progressives expressed for Carter and his followers. For the real deal, conservative President Ronald Reagan, all the stops were pulled out. He was labeled a “cowboy,” a euphemism for an immature and impulsive individual, not to mention stupid, unsophisticated, unworthy of being taken seriously. His 40 years of public speaking, writing, and governing the largest state were irrelevant. His critics seldom bothered to actually read anything he wrote. Actually, the man was quite eloquent, inspirational, and spoke through his convictions, developed over a lifetime of living among and fighting for regular people and the cause of freedom. The treatment of the first President Bush was similar to that of Reagan. Bush was the

youngest Navy carrier fighter pilot of WWII, a recognized hero and former CIA director before becoming vice-president and president. The treatment of his son eight years later was considerably worse. “Bush 2” was an engineer, Harvard MBA, and a fighter-pilot, yet portrayed as an incompetent bumpkin. Media portrayed Bush as unsympathetic and shallow. Most don’t know he shunned publicity after visiting rescue workers on the 9/11 rubble pile. The press didn’t follow him to the hospital where he spent three hours comforting family members waiting for news of their loved ones. We’ve entered dangerous ground with celebrities engaging in the most extreme forms of denigration of political opponents. When you dehumanize individuals, they become the collective “them,” a key component in the march toward violence against the few followed by mass violence against the many. Physical attacks on Trump supporters were commonplace during the 2016 election, continuing today and culminating with last year’s attempt to mass-murder Republican congressmen. The dehumanization of Trump’s family is beyond the pale, unacceptable, and will lead only to further destruction of the tattered remnants of American society.

Opinion

The Shredder

More of the same

arly election returns weren’t really a surprise to anyone, especially not incumbent SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson who relaxed on the morning of June 5 with a sweet horseback ride and a serenade from the matriarch of one of SLO County’s powerful families. “Oh what a beautiful morning,” Phyllis Madonna crooned into Parkinson’s ear via cellphone. Picture the iconic puke green of a starched Sherriff’s Office uniform against the backdrop of a bluebird Central Coast day. Yup, that’s life if you’re at the top, baby. If you didn’t know about this luscious little election day tidbit, you’re obviously not following New Times reporter Chris McGuinness on Twitter! Losers! That’s where life takes place. Haven’t you heard? That’s where President Donald Trump pronounces truths and policy decisions! Both of which are questionable, and all of which are subject to change. What kind of a power player do you have to be to live that life in this county? Well, if you’re one of this county’s incumbents, and you got caught not doing your job right, are in trouble, and find yourself in a contentious race to get re-elected, you are one of those people living exactly that kind of beautiful life. Because this county, which complains about its power players as much as it does about the weather, definitely loves to keep things tres, tres status quo.

The bad news is, you get what you vote for, suckers! Look ahead to more “Gone Fishin’” signs posted up in the SLO County Assessor’s Office because SLO County voters told incumbent County Assessor Tom Bordonaro they kinda like it when he “works” from the ranch— it’s very rural, very country, baby. That’s the way we roll. Office-schmoffice. Parkinson, who told SLO Tribune reporter Nick Wilson that he was “a happy man,” got the message loud and clear from the local electorate: Keep up the good work, man! It doesn’t matter that you’ve been publicly caught in a couple of lies, had 12 inmates die in the SLO County Jail in your time at the helm, or given the appearance of a failed attempt to cover up what happened in the tortured death of Andrew Holland—a fuck-up so depressingly awful, it’s hard to believe that you just got re-elected. But, hey, suckers! Life’s still lucky, beautiful, and happy at the tippity top, even if it was the hardest year of Parkinson’s life, as the Tribune’s Wilson tweeted that night. Get on Twitter, losers! It can’t just be for politicians, journalists, and trolls, right? Even in Parkinson’s worst year, he’s still alive, still the sheriff, and still riding horses in the morning. As for SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow: It’s cool if you don’t do anything to hold your BFF, aka Sheriff Parkinson, accountable for whatever happens at the county jail. We apparently

prefer that to a guy who officially changed his first name to Judge! Yup, yup, that was our other option. So, clap, clap, clap, SLO County voters, you get what you vote for—the good ol’ boys network. I will say this about Parkinson: In this hardest of hard years, he’s gotten really good at covering his ass. With 12 inmate deaths and a continuing FBI probe of civil rights violations at the SLO County Jail, the last thing he needed was another inmate death, which is why he whipped out that good ol’ boys Rolodex in his time of need. Parkinson personally lobbied retired Judge Michael Duffy to release inmate Bruce Allen McKnight on a compassionate medical basis, according to ex-New Times reporter Matt Fountain. But—and this is a big ol’ horse butt— that was only after the attempt to play by the rules didn’t quite work for this rural county sheriff on the eve of his re-election. The Tribune reported that McKnight was transferred—while still in custody—from the jail to French Hospital on May 22 after an apparent heroin overdose. (You can get heroin in the jail? Nice!) When his condition worsened and he was transferred to the ICU on June 1, the Sheriff’s Office asked very much not retired Judge Ginger Garrett to release McKnight from custody under the guise that he

could spend his last moments with his family. It totally wasn’t because if he had died, McKnight would be the 13th inmate on Parkinson’s custody deaths list. Garrett said she’d look at the case after receiving the paperwork and notifying the various parties as required by law. That wasn’t good enough for Parkinson, who placed the call to Duffy, who in turn agreed to McKnight’s immediate release. Hey, man, it’s whom you ride with, right? That’s the good old boys network at work! Hooves shorn, shoed, and ready to gallop! Meanwhile, the only race that might be surprising everyone is the battle for SLO County 4th District Supervisor. I can tell you who was not happy that night: incumbent Lynn Compton. She’s locked in a too-tight-for-comfort race with the only decent non-incumbent candidate the Dems could muster up, fresh-faced Jimmy Paulding. We probably won’t know the official results for days, but what we do know is that the race has the potential to change the SLO County Board of Supervisors from its current conservative majority into a liberal majority, which could mean the difference between commonsense discussions that create good policy and the current rancor that exists on this county’s board. But, then again, probably not. ∆ The Shredder’s teeth clatter too much when he’s riding a trotting horse. Send comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Sleep when you’re fed COFFEE, CHARACTERS, AND CARBOHYDRATES STAR IN ONE GAL’S GLUTTONOUS PURSUIT OF NOCTURNAL FLAVOR BY HAYLEY THOMAS CAIN

or a relatively sleepy place, SLO has a lot of neon glow. This realization dawns on me somewhere between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., while in search of nocturnal flavor in May. It’s not just the regular suspects that burn into my retina: OPEN. CLOSED. COLD BEER. VACANCY. It’s in the luminous, orange-and-blue brilliance of the SUNSET Drive-In sign on a moonless night. The unapologetically pink MADONNA INN horse-drawn wagon, its perpetually trotting hooves floating against the lilac-and-navy luster of a new dawn. How had I not noticed this before? Consider my reinvigorated love for SLO’s neon just one nocturnal nugget collected in the calorie-laden field notes that follow. I set out to meet the movers, shakers, makers, and bakers who roll up their sleeves while most of us crawl under the covers. What I got was a thick slice of life. It’s all true, folks—right down to the crumb. So pour yourself some black coffee. It’s going to be a long night.

10:45 P.M., THURSDAY, MAY 10 The time I usually slather on four different face creams

I kiss my snoozing husband goodnight. On the drive downtown, a few nervous butterflies awaken in my stomach (of course, I skipped dinner). The last time I felt this way I was on my way to TP someone’s house.

11 P.M., THURSDAY, MAY 10 The time I usually push two dogs and a stack of books out of the way and slip into bed

Denny’s seemed like a natural start. I am comforted to find that groups of precocious teenagers still nurse sodas late into the night while talking very loudly about sex, politics, and rock bands. I consume two cups of black coffee and one chocolate milk shake (only 800 calories).

11:32 P.M., THURSDAY, MAY 10 The time I usually tear my eyes away from Instagram/email/ Wikipedia and attempt go to sleep like a normal human

Downtown SLO smells of illegal cigarettes, semi-legal pot, cheap perfume, and the lingering memory of tonight’s farmers’ market (just a hint of barbecued pork ribs and kettle corn). I marvel at the FREMONT Theater, with its florescent Art Deco swoosh, a lone peacock set against black hills. I decide that my favorite sign is BULL’S TAVERN, with its wonky bovine mascot and lopsided lasso encircling a lime green martini glass. It reminds me of the kind of WWII era flash you’d see peeking from beneath the fuzzy white hairs of a grizzled old sailor’s chest. Groups of laughing college students roam Higuera Street. They are giddy and buzzed and alarmingly underdressed in cutoff shorts and tank tops. It’s 50 degrees, and I am wearing smart layers, like my mother taught me. It suddenly hits. I’m 10 years older than these smiling, semi-sloshed kids! Oh my God. I am the “weird lady with the recorder.” I can already tell that I’m going to be someone’s Instagram story.

Good to the bone NEW TIMES SEARCHES FOR THE BEST WINGS IN SLO

BY RYAH COOLEY AND KAREN GARCIA

MO’S SMOKEHOUSE BBQ

s there anything more satisfying than biting into a perfectly saucy, crunchy Buffalo chicken wing dipped in creamy ranch dressing? We think not. So Arts Editor (and wing enthusiast) Ryah Cooley and Staff Writer Karen Garcia (admittedly on the fence about wings) teamed up to find the best wings in To see what others San Luis Obispo, think about the wing offerings in SLO, visit excluding chain yelp.com. restaurants. We included some classic Buffalo chicken varietals in our roundup, but also sought to think outside of the bottle of Frank’s RedHot sauce with some more unique offerings too. This list is by no means exhaustive, but you better believe we ate every last wing that came our way, in the name of journalism.

1005 Monterey St.

1011 Higuera St.

The order: Mo’s Buffalo Hot n’ Spicy Wings Cost: $8.45 for eight wings Ryah: These wings were breaded and overly chewy. I was hoping they’d be crispier. The sauce basically tasted like Frank’s RedHot sauce and nothing else, so the vinegar flavor was overwhelming. The ranch dipping sauce was average, and our order didn’t include carrots or celery. These wings made me sad, which is a first. PHOTOS BY RYAH COOLEY Karen: I’ll definitely say that I started on this venture with wings as pretty low on my list of go-to appetizers. This order didn’t help change my mind about that either; it was a saucy mess. With every bite the chicken didn’t taste fully cooked, although there was no visible pink on the chicken. The sauce was just too much, and it felt like more breaded sauciness than chicken. Our rating: 2 bones

THAI CLASSIC

The order: Angel Wings (chicken wings stuffed with ground chicken, vegetables, and bean thread noodles) Cost: $11.95 for two pieces cut into six bites Ryah: These aren’t wings in the sense that there are no bones. It’s kind of like a breaded egg roll, but with chicken. It was better dipped in soy sauce than the sauce/ cucumber salad it came with. Thai Classic gets an A for originality, but the pieces were small and the price high. I doubt I’d order them again. Karen: It was an interesting concept to basically stuff ground chicken with veggies and noodles into a breaded roll. The sauce that it came with was a little too sweet for the wings in my opinion. I agree it gets high points in my book for its uniqueness, but I didn’t care too much for the flavor. It was a good experience, but I don’t think I’ll be ordering that item again either.

The order: Teriyaki Wings Cost: $12 for 10 wings Ryah: The teriyaki sauce tasted like it was just soy sauce, but the wings were crispy and had just the right amount of breading. Our order came with ranch sauce, celery, and carrots. We gobbled these up. Karen: For a nontraditional wing flavor I really liked the taste of these teriyaki wings. I agree that the sauce was a little more on the soy sauce end, but the taste was enjoyable with every bite. It was the right ratio of breading and chicken. OK, so I’m starting to teeter into the wing zone, but I’m still not entirely convinced. Our rating: 5 bones

The order: Korean BBQ Chicken Wings Cost: $6 for five wings Ryah: These remind me of the chicken wings I ate at the Chinese buffet as a kid, in a good way. They have a nice crunch and a light flavor. There’s no dipping sauce, which bummed me out, but I would still eat these again. Karen: I definitely loved these Korean BBQ wings; the sauce that covered the wings was a mix of sweet and tangy. It had a really nice crunch but the breading wasn’t too thick. I might be biased because I already like Oki Momo’s menu so much, but I’ll definitely be back for these bad boys. Our rating: 4.5 bones

The order: Spicy Buffalo Style Wings Cost: $8.75 for 10 wings Ryah: The spice doesn’t overwhelm the palate. These wings are good and crispy with a generous amount of chicken to enjoy with ranch dipping sauce, celery, and carrots. Plus during happy hour you can get four jumbo wings for $3.50, which is quite the steal. Karen: The flavor was just the right amount of spice so I wasn’t rushing for a glass of water to cool myself down. The breaded skin-to-chicken ratio was perfect in my book. There was plenty for Ryah and I to share. I could see myself ordering this again with a couple of beers and I’d be set. Our rating: 5 bones

The order: Spicy Asian Chicken Wings Cost: $8.55 for five wings Ryah: This is a nice, meaty wing. The flavor is balanced with just enough heat and a touch of sweetness. They come with a cilantro dipping sauce and crinkle-cut carrots. Skip those. You don’t need them. That sauce does no favors to you or the wings. To be fair, I’m really only into cilantro in my salsa and on my tacos though. It was fun to try new wings, but I’m still a (spicy) Buffalo girl at heart. Karen: With the last order of wings, I reflect back on our food journey. I definitely think that I’ll start ordering wings every now and then. I’ll just be really picky about the restaurant I order them from. I also believe that I like the non-traditional wing flavors. This order of wings was really good; the sauce was nice and spicy. It did leave me with a burning sensation on my lips, but I’m not mad about it. Our rating: 4.5 bones ∆ *All listed prices are before tax and tip

NOCTURNAL from page 19

12:01 A.M., FRIDAY, MAY 11 Officially past my bedtime

Usually, I’d be deep in slumber, my Chiweenie snuggled in the crook of my arm. Instead, I am striding toward my first stop: Woodstock’s. A few couples share slices in the booths near the window, the perfect nook for people-watching at witching hour. A homeless man goes table-to-table, salvaging abandoned crusts. The music is more “clubby” than usual. The vibe is upbeat yet placid, like the end of a really great pizza rave where everyone stayed hydrated and had a good time. Nocturnal nugget No. 1: If you’re going to make pizza, expect to get slapped in the face a few times. Pony-tailed and capable, Anaïs Fay flings globs of pizza dough into the air with alarming accuracy. She runs the balls of dough through a machine, slaps them between her palms (thwack!), and aims for the ceiling. A nimble finger is employed at just the right millisecond, effortlessly stretching the floury blob into some sort of edible hubcap. Fay explains that she has those weird little dots above her name, but she’s “not even French” (she’s Greek). She fl ips the pizza higher and higher as I hoot and gasp. She beams. “They don’t teach you how,” she says. “My friend Patrick could flip the dough behind his back. When he got fired, I decided I would take his place. You just have to do it.” Apparently, it took about five months to reach this level of skill. “It’s like learning to do a layup. Sometimes I still whack myself in the face,” she says. “You have to throw it away when you do that. ” Shift manager Kasi Hampton tells me Woodstock’s makes something like 2,300 pizzas per week, and Fridays they close at 1 a.m. Someone turns the electronic dance music up a little louder (I get the feeling this is part of closing procedure). When I ask Hampton if she’s a night owl, she’s understandably cagey. “Let’s just say if I stay up late at home, I’m laying on a couch watching T.V.,” she says. She admits it’s hard to keep up the happy persona when it’s nearly 2 a.m. and some guy is leering at you from across the counter.

“Sometimes people will come up to us and will just want to tell you all these stories of things that happened to them that night,” she says, adding that these people almost always order ready made slices of pepperoni (I get it. Too many beers + pepperoni pizza = survival). She says the best part about the late shift—besides being able to help out fellow college students in need of an Uber or a shoulder to cry on—is that you get to talk to a lot of different people. This is exactly what I say to friends who ask why on earth I continue to work as freelance writer! “Big Nick” Hammink is one such character. Broad shouldered and goofy, he is one of five other Nicks who currently work at the restaurant. At 6-foot-5, he tells me he’s exactly one inch taller than the second biggest Nick around. He tells me each employee gets one

mission. It’s time to investigate some UDFOs (unbelievably delicious fried objects). Get it? Nocturnal nugget No. 2: Studying after midnight is better with doughnuts (and probably Adderall). Apparently, I have walked directly into Cal Poly midterm mania. SloDoCo looks like any coffee shop on a weekday afternoon, except—to my knowledge—it’s nearing 1:30 a.m. Laptops. Binders. Backpacks. Sly flirting. I knew the doughnut shop was open 24 hours, but I’d never expected to find so many studious young people, brows furrowed, quietly tapping keyboards. Of course, not everyone is going through an existential crisis. A young woman approaches the counter with gusto. Late night employee Sameer Wahba regretfully informs her they’ve

NOCTURNAL NUGGET NO. 1: IF YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE PIZZA, EXPECT TO GET SLAPPED IN THE FACE A FEW TIMES. personal pizza per night. Hampton prefers hers crisp (she lops off Woodstock’s signature folded crust and bakes hers until it’s crackery). “Sometimes it’s hard to keep eating pizza everyday. But once you start eating it, you’re like, ‘Yeah. I’ll have a second slice,” she says. All the customers are out by this point, and the music blasts. Big Nick is dancing like a maniac. I flip out my iPhone. This will make an excellent Instagram story. He shakes his butt to the song’s bellowing refrain: “Get the f*ck up!” Fay informs me the song is Pharoahe Monch’s 1999 hit, “Simon Says.” I jot it down and turn for the door, feeling surprisingly pumped.

I pull into the SloDoCo Parking Lot. The a.m. radio crackles. AM Coast to Coast caller: “It is obvious that we are being visited by numerous alien species. But isn’t it quite possible that these species might have opposing views?” I wish I could chill in the parking lot and consider the cosmos further, but I’m on a

sold out of her top choice. I have to ask. Why so bummed? “It’s, like, a peanut butter Nutty Buddy,” she wails, eyes full of disappointment. She whips out her iPhone to explain. The SloDoCo Instagram post shows a cluster of dark brown, shiny donuts covered in glossy 3-D squares that appear to be sprinkled in powdered sugar. The post reads: “Stop counting calories (smiley face with glasses emoji), and start counting donuts (doughnut emoji). These peanut butter puppy chow raised rings are raising their Chex (bowl emoji) in the air like they just don’t care. #letseat #foodarefriends.” There are 67 comments. I don’t understand most of this post. The three workers on staff arrived at 8 p.m. to curb these kinds of powerful cravings (they’ll be prepping and frying till 3 a.m.). Wahba may sling doughnuts, but he’s also a good guy to have around in an emergency. “One time, I had a guy come in super drunk, and when he paid, I realized his whole hand was covered in blood,” he says casually. This might be totally freaky to someone who isn’t a certified EMT. He continues, “I sat the guy down,

cleaned and bandaged him up. This kind of stuff is super enjoyable for me. It’s real-world experience.” Fellow late-night employee Jack Jonas is not this hardcore (he’s just really into snacks). “The only thing that gets me upset is when people come in and ask how many calories are in a doughnut,” he moans. “No one is walking in here thinking they are going to be eating healthy.” And the most popular? “Usually the galaxy ones because they are so pretty,” he says, gesturing to a rack of infinite realities. They do kind of look like self-contained universes, as if all of life’s complexities were contained within the squishy contours of a fatty sphere. This work is done by a creative baker who arrives at 5 a.m. Another masterpiece to note: The doughnut that looks exactly like a hamburger. Jonas personally loves the Cinnabomb, literally a cinnamon roll contained inside a glazed doughnut) and (duh) the Maple. Glazed. Bacon. “You gotta like sweet and savory,” he says. “You know, when you let that syrup drip a little onto your bacon or sausage?” Let’s just say that Mr. Jack Jonas and I are on the same wavelength, spiritually. Next in line: a jovial gang of freshman Cal Poly engineering students. I am almost too scared to ask. “Oh, no. We aren’t studying. Just a late night doughnut run!” the leader, Vincent Bacnat, says. One girl in the group admits to studying in her dorm before the group Facetime call came in. “So, now what are you going to do?” I ask. Drink some cheap beer? Race shopping carts till someone calls the cops? “Eat doughnuts!” they sing, almost in unison. I realize that SloDoCo is not a pitstop on the way to some loftier late-night goal. This is the entire endgame. After promising they will Google New Times (whatever that is), they take their bag of buttermilk doughnuts to go. I am vaguely envious. Wish I had friends like that.

WHAT I LEARNED AFTER A WEEK OF COOKING FOR MYSELF BY PETER JOHNSON

eal food talk: Cooking for yourself is hard. Sure, it’s easy during the festivities of Thanksgiving and Christmas, when you have a date coming

over for dinner, or on the days you actually feel like it. But cooking consistently, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Meal prepping week after week? That’s a different story, especially for a scattered, single knucklehead like me. It’s a lot easier to drop into one of SLO’s alluring restaurants for lunch and kiss goodbye the extra $10 (or more) spent. I realized—well actually, my editor helped me realize—that this “Flavor” issue presented a good opportunity to challenge my eating-out habit by making all my own meals for a week and writing about the experience. Empty-walleted from the aforementioned spending, I accepted the challenge. My first stop wasn’t the grocery store, but Google. I have a few favorite recipes of my own, but I wanted to find a couple of nutritious dishes I could make in bulk and that would keep well in the fridge. Thankfully, the web knows no bounds when it comes MEAL PREP continued page 26

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS I highly recommend breakfast smoothies for other toast junkies like me. I went into my days with so much more energy after chugging a tasty glass of spinach, fruit, and almond milk.

MEAL PREP from page 25

to recipes and general cooking advice. After perusing a few cooking blogs, I picked out a vegetable quinoa bowl and a chicken stir-fry for dinners/lunches and, for breakfast, a spinach-heavy smoothie. I took screenshots of the recipes on my phone and took off for Trader Joe’s. Back at home, I dusted off my food processor and blender (having used neither since I moved to my current apartment in September), sharpened my knives, and readied my measuring cups. I threw on a vinyl record and got cooking. It took a few minutes to get my momentum going, but after about 15 minutes I was in the meditative and satisfying flow of cooking—the quinoa cooking on a burner, the sweet potato slices roasting in the oven, and the almond butter, ginger, and lime dressing churning in the food processor. After everything was ready, I mixed it all in a big bowl with the other vegetables and stuck it in the fridge for future lunches. The next morning, instead of my usual sourdough toast with butter and coffee for breakfast, I crammed a couple handfuls of spinach, a banana, frozen pineapple chunks, and almond milk into the blender and—wow. That drink gave me five times more energy and vitality than what I normally feel in the morning. That evening, I cooked up the chicken stir-fry for my second lunch/ dinner option. Now I’m set for the rest of the week. I managed to get through it without spending a penny more on food, and I actually felt better. My meal prep process wasn’t perfect or very efficient. I don’t have a system or schedule nailed down. I found out that preparing meals for yourself all

the time isn’t easy. But I imagine it’s like a muscle you have to use to make stronger, and, boy, is it an important muscle. There are so many benefits to taking responsibility for your food— fi nancial, nutritional, and personal— that I hope I can keep the routine going. Especially with all the expertise and recipes available online, all it’d take is a little bit of planning and effort. Bon appetite!

NOCTURNAL from page 23

2:38 A.M., FRIDAY MAY 11 The time I wake up to pee

I love the smell of gluten in the morning. The new Breaking Bread production facility located on 3536 South Higuera St. is lit, making the strip mall feel doubly abandoned. I watch baker/owner Mark Evans through glass double doors. He is listening to what I can only describe as aggressively loud jazz. On my fourth knock he lets me in, an impish smile framed by white whiskers. Nocturnal Nugget No. 3: Want to make good bread? Use your jazz hands. The scent is heaven. It’s like the essence of every bread basket I’ve ever tried and failed at not eating has joined forces in my nose.

(supposedly located at) 1229 3rd St. Aha! A tiny cottage strung with Christmas lights! Inside, a yellow glow transforms cramped quarters into a dreamy one-man factory. I’ve stepped inside Hansel and Gretel’s magic bread box. Head Baker Marcus Marren says that it’s easy to miss; Los Osos is “The Australia” of SLO. This is funny because it’s true. The scent is intoxicating, but different. Earthier? “The butter’s in the air,” says Marren, whose octopus arms never seem to rest. “Everything is sourdough here, even the croissants.” A 20-year veteran baker, he slices and sprinkles judiciously. Hovering over a rack of rounds like a helicopter parent, he rattles off the itinerary: Made and shaped yesterday, these loaves will go out tomorrow, after a long, cold fermentation.

NOCTURNAL NUGGET NO. 3: WANT TO MAKE GOOD BREAD? USE YOUR JAZZ HANDS This new, larger space has been open two weeks (Evans tells me baking at the original 1074 Higuera St. spot had turned into a contact sport). Evans does a choreographed dance. It’s precise, exact. A digital clock on the wall blinks red: 2:41 a.m. Production began at 2 a.m. His wife of 40 years, Glenna, will join in at 4 a.m. to help with the muffins and scones. I peek inside a nearby mixer to see what looks like thick white taffy going round and round. The seedy mixture of multicolored grains glisten like beads. Evans points out the gluten developing in the dough (a sort of quilted effect). “So that’s the devil,” I say. “It is gathering strength!” he retorts (I would argue that plenty of commercially made bread is evil, but that’s for another story). This 95 pounds of six-grain bread is bound for great things: Some will go to Nourish Café, Sally Loo’s, and local farmers’ markets. There’s seven doughs on today’s roster, including cranberry walnut and pretzel buns (bound for Beda’s Biergarten, their first wholesale account). Evans moves wheeled racks filled with croissants (chocolate hazelnut, almond, and the holy grail: ham and cheese). He tells me baking was supposed to be a second career “slow down.” Ha! A former engineer, Evans can’t help but be good at his job; he is a chronic problem solver. Take the marzipan croissants. He offhandedly developed a way of filling the pastries before baking (the classic French technique is to do so afterward). I ask what his secret sauce is. Baking can’t be all math and measuring, can it? “You can follow a recipe, but to really detect the subtle differences, to know the timing on the fermenting; all that stuff, it takes years,” he says. “Like jazz?” I offer. “You can’t teach good jazz!” He laughs (bless his heart). My wired-yet-tired dad jokes are getting worse by the hour.

Marren scores today’s dough with a knife then transfers the loaves to a large oven. A small hose steams the crust (this gives each specimen a shiny finish). It is a tidy little operation. Stambler will rise just before dawn, packing his 2001 Honda Civic with bread bound for stops across the Central Coast, all the way up to Cambria. Marren says this French inspired bakery is about what they don’t use in their bread (baking soda, baking powder, prepared yeast) as much as what they do use (fresh milled organic whole grain flour; distilled water; sea salt; Sonora flour; and caraway seeds, for the rye). “We love the wild yeast,” he says, each hand gesture releasing more white dust into the air. This guy can (and will) talk bread ’til the sun rises. He barely looks at the whiteboard full of orders, which looks to me like a tangle of ancient hieroglyphics. I ask if he thinks bakers have a certain reputation. “Oh, of being cranky?” he says, knowing just what I mean. “Bakers are independent. It’s a lot of hard work, and you have to be pretty tough. There are 10 chefs for every baker out there. It’s not a stir fry. A stir fry, you

can decide to throw an egg in the pan at the last minute. This is not that.” We talk in raised voices (and probably sound like lunatics to anyone passing by) due to the caffeine ingested plus the constant din of a flour mill. “All our bread was whole grain wheat berries the day before. You can’t get much fresher than that,” Marren says. “This is it: grain to flour, flour to dough, dough to bread.” He hands me a warm sourdough croissant filled with nutty almond paste— an excellent late-night dessert/early breakfast. Slightly tangy but absolutely compelling, it is a chip off the old block. “Little kids can’t even talk yet, but you can see how happy they are when they eat this bread,” he says. “When they see me, they associate me with that.” OK. Not everyone associates Marren with hearts and rainbows. He was at Baywood Alehouse recently when a woman raised some beef. Apparently, her husband is a very good customer, shelling out at least $30 each Sunday. “She said she had to rearrange her whole budget because of me. Ten years of having no bread in their budget, and all of a sudden there is this huge expense at the end of the month,” Marren grins, obviously proud. “I promised her I’d steer him away from the fancy loaves, maybe even toward a few day-olds.” Allowing flaky, buttery crumbles of sourdough croissant to rain down onto my lap as I drive Los Osos Valley Road home, I get it. The habit, that is. The sun is rising and my brain is buzzing with a desire to roll on to the next doughy destination. I want to follow the crumbs. Perhaps this is why Nocturnal Nugget No. 4 rings so true. The first croissant is always free. Δ Hayley Thomas Cain isn’t sure what her nocturnal flavor findings point to, but she has a new appreciation for gluten and getting up early. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

Swingers! Big Bad Voodoo Daddy brings their retro swing sounds to the Live Oak Music Fest

hat was happening with the American zeitgeist in 1989 that led to the swing revival? Was it the fall of the Berlin Wall and the impending end of the Cold War? Was it the economic recession of ’89 and ’90? Was it a desire for a retro alternative to the ubiquitous LA metal hairbands or the Pacific Northwest grunge movement? I don’t know, but 1989 saw the formation of Royal Crown Revue, Lavay Smith’s Red Hot Skillet Lickers, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Suddenly neo-swing was everywhere! Swing Kids (1993) celebrated Nazi Germany youth in love with U.S. swing music; Jim Carrey’s The Mask (1994) featured a performance by Royal Crown Revue. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy appeared in the terrific neo-lounge-scene satire Swingers (1996). Clubs like LA’s The Derby and San Francisco’s Club Deluxe became full-time neo-swing clubs. Swing has since become a timeless genre imbued with joy, sass, and sly sexuality. Watching West Coast, East Coast, and Lindy Hop swing dancers brings me unmitigated happiness. That’s why I’m super excited for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s Saturday, June 16, appearance at this year’s Live Oak Music Festival, scheduled from Thursday, June 14, with a special concert by feel-good rocker Michael Franti and Spearhead through Sunday, June 17, with gospel and R&B legend Mavis Staples, and tons of great music in between including roots rocker JD McPherson, Americana

the go-to guy who keeps things running smoothly, and he recently hit a patch of bad luck. On April 25 of this year, he was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome, a rare disorder that causes your body’s immune system to attack your nerves. It starts with tingling in your extremities but can lead to full-body paralysis! Monte’s since been released from Sierra Vista hospital and is receiving treatment and will hopefully be able to manage the disease, but lost wages, medical bills, and ongoing physical therapy will incur a lot of expenses. Monte needs our help. If you can afford it, you can donate to his gofundme.com/rally-for-monte page. As of June 5, he’d raised $12,568 of a goal of $20,000. STARKEY continued page 40

You can also show your support this Thursday, June 7, by attending the Rally for Monte at The Siren (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $10), with Wordsauce, Mama Tumba, and The Turkey Buzzards performing. The fundraising concert is brought to you by The Siren and Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents. Monte’s a good man, a terrific father to his son, River, and a true ambassador for the Central Coast music scene. Let’s make him right! Numbskull and Good Medicine have a bunch of other shows lined up this week, including the always-amazing baritone The White Buffalo, aka Jake Smith, who of his newest album said in press materials, “I’ve always loved the combination of things that are really beautiful and things that are really dark or heavy. There’s a lot of that on this album.” This mountain of a man exudes gravitas, and his live show is amazing. If you’re in Santa Maria, you can see him play Presqu’ile Winery on Friday, June 8 (doors at 5:30 p.m.; all ages; $22 presale at ticketfly.com and Boo Boo’s, or $25 at the door). If you’re in Los Osos, he also plays Sweet Springs Saloon on Sunday, June 10 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $23 presale at ticketfly.com and Boo Boo’s, or $25 at the door). “I’m not a rock star, and I don’t have a huge machine behind me,” Smith added. “I’m just a guy who’s trying to do my job and bring something home for my family. I don’t have an agenda. I’m just trying to write good songs that make people feel something.”

JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH Depeche Mode fans take heart; tribute act Strangelove plays The Siren on June 8, delivering a dose of synth-driven ’80s dance pop.

He does and he will. Strangelove: The Depeche Mode Experience plays Friday, June 8, at The Siren (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 presale at ticketfly.com and Boo Boo’s, or $25 at the door). This will be a big show for a little club because Strangelove offers a theatrical stage production with multiple projection visuals that will “assault the euphoric concertgoer’s senses and further the illusion that they are witnessing an actual Depeche Mode concert,” the band’s bio says. Cash’d Out, the excellent early-era Johnny Cash tribute, comes to Tooth & Nail Winery on Friday, June 8 (6 p.m.; all ages; $20 presale at ticketfly.com and

Boo Boo’s, or $25 at the door). With 150 Cash songs in their repertoire, chances are even if you’ve seen them, you’ll hear something new. Numbskull and Good Medicine’s biggest show this week might be multiinstrumentalist Edgar Winter, who plays Sunday, June 10, at The Siren (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $35 presale at ticketfly.com and Boo Boo’s, or $40 at the door). The Texas-born child prodigy plays keyboard (usually hanging by a strap from his neck), guitar, saxophone, and percussion. Both he and his brother Johnny were born with albinism, and both distinctive-looking men reached great heights in the music biz.

WINTER IS COMING Iconic rock and blues multi-instrumentalist Edgar Winter plays The Siren on June 10.

He and his band The Edgar Winter Band are perhaps best known for the songs “Frankenstein” and “Free Ride,” and though his career peaked commercially in 1972 with the No. 3 album They Only Come Out at Night, he’s continued to make great music and tour regularly. This ought to be a terrific, intimate show. STARKEY continued page 41

Class act Iconic American Songbook crooner Tony Bennett returns to Vina Robles Amphitheatre for a Nederlander Concerts show on Saturday, June 9 (8 p.m.; all ages; $61.75 to $131.75 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). Maybe somewhere hidden in a closet is a Dorian Gray-like portrait of Bennett, because at 91 years old (he’ll turn 92 on Aug. 3), he still looks and sounds fantastic! I’ve seen his live show a few times now, and my only complaint is I wish he sang longer! He’s had so many amazing hits during his career: “Because of You,” “Cold, Cold Heart,” “Rags to Riches,” “Stranger in Paradise,” “Smile,” “The Good Life,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Anything Goes,” “Climb Every Mountain,” and his signature song, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” The man’s won 19 Grammy Awards, not to mention the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2014, Bennett released Cheek to Cheek, a collaborative album with Lady Gaga. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Album charts. Bennett was 88 at the time, the oldest artist to top that chart ever! If you’ve never seen him live, don’t miss it! Also at Vina Robles Amphitheatre, check out Symphony at Sunset on Sunday, June 10 (7 p.m.; all ages; $25 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). The Opera San Luis Obispo Grand Orchestra will accompany acclaimed soloists for an evening of pops under the stars. Expect classics, Broadway hits, and popular music ranging from Star Wars to the Beatles.

‘I Hope You’re Happy’

Blue October is one of those rare optimistic and joyous-sounding alt-rock acts, which is probably why they’ve charted 10 heartstring-tugging Top 40 Hot Alternative singles since forming in Texas in 1995. They play the Fremont Theater this Wednesday, June 13, with Kitten opening (8 p.m.; $28 at eventbrite.com or Boo Boo Records). With tracks such as “Into The Ocean,” “Hate Me,” “Home,” “Calling You,” “Dirt Room,” “Say It,” “The Chills,” “Bleed Out,” “Fear,” “I Want It,” and their most recent single “I Hope You’re Happy”—this is a band that makes music people love at first listen.

FUNDRAISERS DELUXE Funk and soul act Burning James and the Funky Flames plays two benefits this week, on June 9, at BarrelHouse Brewing for The Noor Foundation; and June 10, at Atascadero Lake Pavilion for Awakening Ways Spiritual Community.

More music …

Concerts in the Plaza returns this Friday, June 8, with ’80s cover band The Molly Ringwald Project (5:30 p.m.; all ages; free). This marks the 23rd season of these free community concerts. FYI—attendees are encouraged to bring their own reusable (non-glass) cups to the event, or purchase a commemorative “Concerts in the Plaza” pint for $10. For those attendees who forget to bring a cup, Firestone Walker Brewing Company beer will be available in cans. The Noor Foundation is the kind of organization that restores my faith in humanity. The volunteer-based nonprofit provides free health care for those uninsured or unable to pay. I’m not the only one moved by their good works. Burning James and the Funky Flames will play a fundraising concert for Noor this Saturday, June 9, at the Barrelhouse amphitheater stage, with fellow funk and soul act Steppin’ Out (6 p.m.; all ages; $17 presale at slofunkfest. brownpapertickets.com or $22 at the door). Good music for a good cause by a couple of bands putting the unity into community! While they’re at it, Burning James and the Funky Flames is also playing Sunday, June 10, at the Atascadero Lake Pavilion for the Awakening Ways Spiritual Community (2 p.m.; all ages; $10). Way to go, James! The Arroyo Grande Village Summer Concert Series kicks off its 13th season with jazz, R&B, soul, blues, folk, and pop vocalist Nicole Stromsoe and her amazing band on Sunday, June 10, at the Rotary Bandstand (1 p.m.; all ages;

free). She’s got an amazing set of pipes! A raffle, food, drinks, and free tours of historical buildings in Heritage Square Park are also available. The Famous Jazz Artist Series at Cambria’s J. Buckley Theatre hosts legendary jazz guitarist Frank Potenza in concert this Sunday, June 10, during two performances (4 and 7 p.m.; all ages; $10 for students and $20 general admission; email charlie@ talsanmusic.com or call (805) 927-0179 for reservations). Series co-producers Charlie and Sandi Shoemake (vibes and vocals, respectively), Dylan Johnson (bass), and Darrell Voss (drums) will back Potenza. A special buffet as well as wine and beer will be available from chef Giovanni of the Harmony Café. The High Cost of Low Living, the new 10-song album by bluesmen The Nick Moss Band featuring blues harmonica star Dennis Gruenling, contains the energy of early rock ’n’ roll, the soulful edge of deep blues, and the playful fun of top-notch musicians bouncing off each other like balls in a bounce house. These Alligator Records recording artists play The Siren on Wednesday, June 13 (doors at 7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $10.50 presale at ticketfly.com and Boo Boo Records, or $13 at the door). This is Chicago blues at its best! ∆ Keep up with New Times Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey via Twitter at twitter. com/glenstarkey, friend him at facebook. com/glenstarkey, or contact him at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Goodbye, Daisy The Last Flapper chronicles the end of Zelda Fitzgerald’s life

PHOTOS COURTESY OF WINE COUNTRY THEATRE

ometimes fact is even stranger than fiction. Such is the case when you peek behind the curtain into the lives of Zelda and novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald in the one-woman play, The Last Flapper. The show is penned Last call by playwright William Wine Country Theatre’s production of The Last Luce (Lucifer’s Child, Flapper is on stage through Barrymore) and is June 17 at the Park Ballroom currently on stage at in downtown Paso Robles. Tickets are $15 for students, the Park Ballroom $20 for group seating, and courtesy of Wine $25 for general admission. Visit winecountrytheatre.com Country Theatre. for more information. Luce imagines the last days of Zelda’s THE PARTY’S OVER For the second time in recent years, Beth Marshall takes on life while she languished away in an the role of Zelda Fitzgerald (pictured here onstage at the Pewter Plough Playhouse in insane asylum in Asheville, North Cambria), the noted socialite, novelist, and wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, in The Last Flapper Carolina. Directed by Jacob Shearer as she lives out her last days in an insane asylum. (a founding member of the theater chaotic marriage, and of her mental Fitzgerald: the glamorous, fun-loving, company), Beth Marshall (Guys and breakdown.

She also makes Playhouse in Cambria, and it shows in witty story. pointed emotional references about her her performance. Set in an insane asylum on the last contempt for writer Ernest Hemingway, Based on Zelda’s letters and stories, day of Zelda’s life, the play unfolds as a close friend of her husband’s, and one this intriguing play is thought to be a hypnotherapy session. Zelda tells tearful admission about not being a the definitive portrait of Mrs. F. Scott of her life as a Southern belle, of her good mother to her only child, Frances. Marshall’s two-act monologue is interrupted periodically with occasional announcements being made on the intercom about patients who have visitors waiting to see them, therapeutic art classes, and doctors canceling appointments. In Zelda we see a person grappling with the Southern girl who fell in love with the dashing young Yankee writer and the woman whose husband called her a “third-rate writer” and “plagiaristic,” after she penned her only novel, Save me the Waltz, which drew heavily on the lives of the Fitzgeralds. Ironically, Zelda’s more famous husband is rumored to have used excerpts from her letters and writing in his books. Through Zelda’s own admittedly biased lens, we see a picture of F. Scott Fitzgerald, living the life of his character Gatsby in a sort of alternate universe. He’s gotten the fame, wild parties, and even the golden girl Daisy, but still is just as miserable as his fictional protagonist. ∆

Through Zelda’s own admittedly biased lens, we see a picture of F. Scott Fitzgerald, living the life of his character Gatsby in a sort of alternate universe.

WRITER AND MUSE While Zelda served as the inspiration for the character Daisy in her husband F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel The Great Gatsby, she was also an author in her own right, and came out with Save Me The Waltz in 1932.

Arts Editor Ryah Cooley has never felt especially sympathetic toward F. Scott Fitzgerald’s character Gatsby, even when Leonardo DiCaprio played him on screen. Reach her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Romance and the sea

altasar Kormákur (Contraband, 2 Guns, Everest) directs this true story of survival about Tami Oldham (Shailene Woodley) and Richard Sharp (Sam Clafin), two free-spirited lovers and avid sailors who set off to cross an ocean only to encounter a catastrophic ADRIFT hurricane that leaves What’s it rated? PG-13 their sailboat in ruins and What’s it worth, Anna? Rental Richard gravely injured. What’s it worth, Glen? Rental Can Tami find the will to Where’s it showing? Downtown save them? (120 min.) Centre, Park, Stadium 10, Galaxy Glen Imagine if romance novelist Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, The Choice, The Best of Me) decided to write a disaster-at-sea story and you’ll have a pretty good idea about Adrift. It opens post disaster, as Tami awakens in the hold of a sailboat half submerged in water. She’s got a large cut on her head and is badly bruised. She’s frantically searching for her fiancé, Richard, but she also knows she has to pump out the water before her boat sinks. From there, the film proceeds to flash back five months to when Tami meets Richard. The film repeatedly moves through time, cutting between their romance and her struggle to survive and help a severely injured Richard, who can do nothing to help Tami besides provide advice and emotional support. The romance part of the film is pretty sappy, and the disaster part of the film is fairly harrowing, but compared to what I consider the gold standard of lostat-sea films, Robert Redford’s phenomenal All is Lost (2013), Adrift is just OK. There’s plenty of drama, and Tami’s struggle to

INTO THE STORM Avid sailors Richard Sharp (Sam Clafin) and Tami Oldham (Shailene Woodley) set off on a cross-ocean adventure but encounter a devastating hurricane.

survive and save Richard and herself is certainly potent, but the film relies too much on emotional manipulation. As a true story, it’s an amazing tale of survival, but as a film, it’s good but not great. What really saves the film is a raw, powerful, and committed performance by Woodley. Anna Woodley really does give it her all, and I appreciate her choices for the role. Getting lost at sea isn’t pretty business, and this decidedly gorgeous woman plays in the down and dirty with heart. That being said, I got a bit bored with the back-and-forth storyline. Tami and Richard’s five-monthlong relationship burned quick and bright but hardly comes off as more than young love mixed with a passion for wandering. Tami has a pretty strong opinion on

SURVIVORS With no help in sight, Richard (Sam Clafin) and Tami (Shailene Woodley) must rescue themselves through ingenuity and sheer force of will.

At the

heading home—she’s not interested and doesn’t intend to go anytime soon. When a job offer interrupts her and Richard’s plans to sail to Japan, Tami is less than willing at first to journey back to San Diego. Why such resistance to a stop-off in her hometown? I’m afraid we never really get an answer, just a few family anecdotes and a vague reasoning for liking to be lost. Richard’s backstory is barely addressed. We learn early that he lost his mother at a young age, and while the script tries to attach some yearning to that, it quickly gets stepped over and lost in the storyline. I too consider Redford’s All is Lost as the finest lost-at-sea film out there, but perhaps that comparison isn’t fair—this isn’t meant to be that story. Yet, I’m still not won over because this film feels less internal, and the timeline switchbacks cut up the drama of life onboard an ill-fated sailboat and the choices Tami and Richard must make. It’s not a bad film, but for me it fell short of great pretty quickly. Glen Director Kormákur knows his way around seafaring disaster—his The Deep (2012) is about a fisherman trying to survive after his boat capsizes off the coast of Iceland—but his CGI storm in Adrift isn’t as impressive as the CGI of The Perfect Storm (2000). It’s all these little things that undermine Adrift: the romance feels too easy, even with the argument about whether the couple should accept $10,000 and two first-class return tickets from San Diego to Tahiti in exchange for piloting the luxury sailboat to California for Richard’s friends, a rich British couple; the CGI is good but not great, leading to distraction and pulling viewers out of the drama; and there’s

Avengers installment, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The whole freaking universe is at stake, people, so every single character from the Marvel pantheon must join forces to fight the evil Thanos (Josh Brolin) before he wipes out half of everything. Of course, including every single character can get pretty chaotic and leave for a lot of abbreviated storylines, and then there’s the matter of excessiveness. Even comic book action adventure stories offer moments of rest and respite, but they come few and far between in this bombastic and overblown tale. It’s everything you want

a twist near the end that won’t be a surprise for those familiar with Tami’s adventure, but that might seem like a gimmick or trick to those—like me—who were unfamiliar with her tale. It’s a film that’s worth seeing, and if you’re a fan of the genre, hit a matinee, but I think I would have been pleasantly surprised to rent this film at Redbox or even wait for it to show up on a streaming service. Anna If you want an incredibly gripping true tale of a lost-at-sea survival story, check out the book Alone: Orphaned on the Ocean about 11-year-old Terry Jo Dupperault, who survives for four days floating on a cork raft after her family is murdered by their captain. It’s amazing, and Tami’s story would probably be more gripping if told from a firsthand account instead of a dramatized one, but I’m guessing that a documentary wouldn’t draw the crowds like a big Hollywood film. Either way we are left with a film that makes an earnest effort to tug at your heartstrings but instead chokes them out with a little too much schmaltz. The storm that brought their boat down was meant to be epic but falls short of its predecessors such as A Perfect Storm, as you mentioned. I don’t think I saw The Deep, and if I did it must have fallen into forgettable, but Kormákur certainly likes an ocean theme from what I can tell. The CGI doesn’t warrant a trip to the big screen. For me this one can be safely viewed curled up at home when a little adventure and sentimentality is needed. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time in a comic book movie, but turned up to 11. Some will like that, others won’t. The film opens with Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) overcome by Thanos, then it hands off to Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who enlists Tony Stark/ Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to save the universe. Banner has to round up Steve Rogers/Capt. America (Chris Evans). When they’re attacked by Thanos’ minions, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) has to show up and

rescue them. Meanwhile the Guardians of the Galaxy (Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, and Chris Pratt) have to rescue Thor from outer space death. Various superheroes are trying to protect various “infinity stones” that Thanos is trying to acquire so he can kill off half the universe with a literal snap of his fingers. And soon James “Rhodey” Rhodes/War Machine (Don Cheadle), Vision (Paul Bettany), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and Bucky Barnes/White Wolf (Sebastian Stan) all convene at T’Challa/Black Panther’s (Chadwick Boseman) hidden

kingdom of Wakanda for a final showdown with Thanos. It’s exhausting! It’s also pretty exhilarating! Its ending, however, is bullshit! I suspect everyone who’s a Marvel fan has already added to the film’s $250 million opening weekend, but if you haven’t and you plan on going, stop reading here because I’m going to spoil the ending right now: Thanos wins.

The Palm From writer/director Paul Schrader (Blue Collar, Hardcore), First Reformed stars Ethan Hawke (Gattaca, Training Day, Boyhood) as Reverend Ernst Toller, a solitary, middle-aged parish pastor at a small Dutch Reformed church in upstate New York. Toller’s church, which was once a stop on the Underground Railroad, functions mainly as a tourist attraction, complete with guided tours and a gift shop. The church’s Sunday services cater to a fading congregation, miniscule compared to the crowds that flock to its parent church, Abundant Life, led by Toller’s friend and colleague Pastor Jeffers (Cedric Kyles). But when a pregnant churchgoer, Mary (Amanda Seyfried), asks Toller to counsel her husband Michael (Philip Ettinger), a radical environmentalist, the clergyman finds himself plunged into a spiritual re-evaluation of everything he has ever believed about God’s forgiveness and the atonement necessary to receive it. If you go into First Reformed knowing it’s from Schrader, the parallels to Taxi Driver (only the first of Schrader’s collaborations with Martin Scorsese, before Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, and Bringing Out the Dead) are hard to miss. The protagonists of both films are military veterans with troubled psyches who use a diary to document their increasingly unstable convictions.

by a newfound purpose in life, a dark path dominated by aspirations of martyrdom. Aside from the story similarities, the film is full of visual callbacks to Taxi Driver as well. One of my favorites is a slow zoom into a glass of whisky as Toller adds some Pepto-Bismol, a clear homage to Bickle dropping the Alka-Seltzer into his water. Parallels to Taxi Driver aside, First Reformed is absolutely its own thing and probably the most original psychodrama you’re likely to see all year. It is a spiritual film, but not in the sense that it’s about a church, or even Toller’s inner demons. I’m talking about the other kind of spiritual. You know? 2001: A Space Odyssey, that kind of spiritual. There’s even a stargate sequence of sorts that begins with Toller and Mary levitating together (that’s not a spoiler, it’s in the trailer). Hawke’s performance as Toller is destined to gain him his fifth Academy Award nomination, and Seyfried is just as deserving. The fact that Schrader, with a career spanning four decades, has never been nominated for a single Oscar is ludicrous, and a zillion times more so if he doesn’t get one for this.

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Stadium 10 From writer/director Ben Falcone (Tammy, The Boss) and his co-writer/wife Melissa McCarthy (Ghostbusters, Bridesmaids) comes the summer comedy Life of the Party. When her husband, Dan (Matt Walsh, Brigsby Bear, Elf ) suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into reset by going back to college ... landing in the same class and school as her daughter, Maddie (Molly Gordan, I Am Sam) who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna—now Dee Rock—embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected. I’ve enjoyed Melissa McCarthy’s work ever since she was in Gilmore Girls. That said, I didn’t have super high hopes going into The Life of the Party. McCarthy’s films have become a bit stale, not bad, but not great, and always leaning heavily on a particular brand of over the top, crude comedy. Don’t get me wrong; I loved it in Bridesmaids, but a handful of films later it’s started to get a bit stale. The premise isn’t terribly original. After her husband leaves her for another woman, Deanna, who dropped out of college when she got pregnant with their daughter, Maddie, decides to back to school to finally finish her degree … at the same college her daughter is attending! Shenanigans ensue! Insert awkward mother-daughter walks of shame and 80s themed college parties with way too many shots of cheap tequila. This time around with a PG-13 rating, McCarthy, leaned on a sweeter, awkward brand of mom humor complete with dorky puff paint adorned sweaters and a woke sense of feminism. It was a refreshing change of pace. Due to the PG-13 rating, you won’t actually see any scenes of McCarthy banging the much younger Jack (Luke Benward, Field of Lost Shoes) Maddie’s boyfriend Tyler’s (Jimmy O. Yang, Patriot’s Day) BFF. They do play that May-December relationship as Jack being in love with Deanna, rather than some weird MILF fetish, which is kind of sweet, I think? Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) is hilarious as Deanna’s ultra supportive smack-talking bestie who’s always sneaking off to have sex with her husband in public places.

Leonar (Heidi Gardner, Saturday Night Live) is perfect as Deanna’s super creepy and weird roomie with an aversion to sunlight. Gillian Jacobs (Don’t Think Twice) is Maddie’s slightly older sorority sister who was stuck in a comma for eight years and is a minor celebrity on Twitter because of it. She’s the first to take a shine to Deanna when they bond over a shared hatred of the mean girl in archaeology class. Gordan as Deanna’s daughter is utterly bland and forgettable. McCarthy’s character could have had no daughter and simply had a midlife crisis and chosen to go back to college and the film would have been about as funny for all the impact Gordan had on the story. This film isn’t Bridesmaids level great, nor is it worth spending $15 at the movie theater, but had I not already seen it I would perk up a little bit when it came to my local Redbox.

HULK

What’s it rated? PG-13 When? 2003 Where’s it available? DVD

efore Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo donned those infamous purple trunks for films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Eric Bana took on the role of Bruce Banner in director Ang Lee’s vastly underappreciated— dare I say, incredible—Hulk. Lee, largely known for directing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain, and Life of Pi, didn’t approach his adaptation of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s green giant as a superhero movie per se, which was against the grain at the time of its release. Today audiences are spoiled with genre bending comic book films from every corner of the spectrum, from comedies (Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor: Ragnarok) to neo-Westerns (Logan). One could argue that this all began with The Dark Knight in 2008, a crime thriller above anything else—basically Heat except some of the characters wear costumes.

OVERBOARD What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Stadium 10, Park Director Rob Greenberg, best known for his television work (How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs), steers this role reversing remake/re-imagining of 1987’s Overboard. After falling off his luxury yacht while partying too hard, wealthy playboy Leonardo (Eugenio Derbez, How to Be a Latin Lover) wakes up on the Oregon coast with amnesia. Upon recognizing his face on the news, Kate (Anna Faris, Mom), a single mother and carpet cleaner who was mistreated and unjustly fired by Leo, hatches a scheme—convince the amnesiac he’s her husband. Luckily for Kate, the only person searching for the missing heir is his sister, Magdalena (Cecilia Suarez). But she devises a plan of her own after finding him at the hospital. “Is this your brother?” One of the doctors asks her.

superhero film should be for nearly a decade, Lee decided to use Marvel’s Hulk books as the source material for a modern, Frankensteinesque Greek tragedy full of somber characters with earnest, uncontrived ambitions. BUT—this is a big but—at the same time, Lee boldly set out to make Hulk the most seamless transition of a comic book to screen than had ever been done before. Lee attempts this by splitting almost every shot of the film into panels of the same scene but from different angles. But these panels don’t just linger on forever within scenes as they change almost immediately (think Requiem for a Dream). I can understand how some might find the constant perspective shifting headache inducing, but it never bothered me. Although I’m not going to argue that the panels achieve Lee’s goal, I don’t think they hurt the film either. And Lee does warm the audience up to the style right away during the opening credits sequence, which showcases Danny Elfman’s score as well. I’m not sure how Lee predicted Elfman would mesh well with Hulk, given the whimsical nature of most of his music (including his work on Batman and Spider-Man). Maybe it wasn’t his choice at all; it could have been a studio mandate given Elfman’s experience with superhero films. Whether or not that’s the case, he ended up being the perfect pick. There isn’t an ounce of quirk in this score. If I hadn’t known it was

“No, I’ve never seen this man before in my life.” She replies and quickly leaves without Leo seeing her. With her brother out of the way, Magdalena is next in line to inherit their deathbed-ridden father’s company. With the rest of his family under the assumption he was eaten by sharks (yep), Leo is free for Kate to take. And she does. Leo knows right off the bat, as Goldie Hawn’s character did in the original, that something isn’t right. But without a single memory to turn to, Leo is stuck believing Kate’s lie, which is backed up by fake documents and her knowledge of a Speedy Gonzales tattoo on his butt. It took me a little while to get on board (get it?) with this Overboard. I know you’re supposed to hate Leo in the beginning, but I found his obnoxiousness overbearing at times (he’s a womanizing drunkard as opposed to Hawn’s snobby socialite). But once that finally settles down, and Leo becomes more “accustomed” to his new, humble surroundings, the film gets funnier. The hardest thing for Leo to believe at first, besides having to work for a living, is that he’s a father. While the predictable, budding romance between Leo and Kate is fun, the real heart of this story lies with the kids. No matter how ludicrous the circumstances are, he slowly becomes the closest thing to a father figure Kate’s three daughters have ever known. And as sappy and improbable as it is, the bond he forms with them won me over. There’s one scene near the end that involves a bicycle (that’s all I’ll say) where I was close to crying. I kid you not; this moment has just as much, if not more, weight to it than anything in Avengers: Infinity War. MOVIES continued page 51

Elfman, my best guesses would have been Hans Zimmer or James Horner. As far as performances go, the two standouts are Nick Nolte and Sam Elliot. Nolte plays David Banner, Bruce’s father with a super power of his own, while Elliot plays Thaddeus Ross, a four-star general hell-bent on containing the Hulk. Both characters are antagonists opposed to Bruce, but their conflicts with each other are just as interesting. And of course, Arroyo Grande resident Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk) makes a cameo.

RBG What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm RBG is a must-see documentary chronicling Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s improbable life and career, superbly highlighting her heroic litigation in the 1970s to overturn laws that discriminated by gender, her tenure on the Supreme Court that’s been defined by her scathing dissents, and the ways in which she’s inspired a new generation of women, becoming a cultural phenomenon at the ripe age of 85. Beyond those highlights, RBG offers a poignant portrayal of Ginsburg as a person, her reserved and steely yet sweet temperament, and her genuinely beautiful marriage. Filmmakers Betsy West and Julie Cohen really capture Ginsburg’s humanity through interviews with her, her friends, and family members, which add a valuable layer of depth to the documentary. Ginsburg, a Brooklyn native, entered Harvard Law School in 1956 as one of nine women in a class of 500. She juggled her coursework with caring for both her baby and her husband, who had fallen ill with cancer (but ultimately survived). After graduating, she struggled to find law work as a female professional, despite being at the top of her class. Ginsburg eventually became a professor at Columbia University, where she pioneered a class on gender discrimination. In the ’70s, Ginsburg argued a series of discrimination cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Here, West and Cohen manage to make what could have been a dry rundown of court cases compelling and dramatic. They tracked down the plaintiffs on these cases, who had faced genderbased discrimination ranging from unequal pay to unequal benefits as military service members. RBG weaves original audio from Ginsburg’s oral arguments with commentary from Ginsburg and others to drive home the historical significance of those cases. Almost singlehandedly, Ginsburg changed the legal landscape for all women in the country. RBG begins and ends with exploring her legacy, particularly among the newest generation of Americans. As the Supreme Court turned more and more conservative in the early 2000s, Ginsburg’s dissenting opinions became her signature and drew attention from young progressives. At 85 years old today, her spunk and sharp intellect are widely adored. T-shirts labeled “Notorious RBG” have become a hit, and goofy web images with her face imprinted on various superheroes have gone viral on the Internet. You’d be hard pressed to find a more important living American icon than RBG, and this documentary proves it. (97 minutes) —Peter Johnson

I was wholly entertained. Frankly, I wasn’t sure about Ehreneich as Han. I grew up watching Harrison Ford and I couldn’t imagine anyone else in the role. There is a passing resemblance between the young Ford and Ehreneich, but instead of doing an impersonation of Ford as Han, Ehreneich makes the character his own. Glover, on the other hand, seems intent on channeling Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, but he does it so well, it’s a treat to watch. Glover’s star is certainly shining brightly right now. He was great as the host of Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago, and his music video for “This is America” has people talking. These two characters are interesting enough and the actors have so much natural chemistry together that I would happily see another film with the pair. The story ends in a way that’s begging for a sequel, and I’d love to see Lando and Han meet for another adventure. Solo is basically a popcorn movie— uncomplicated, emotionally one note, and with little more than entertainment in mind. It’s not the kind of film that sticks with you or challenges viewers in any way, but if you’re looking for an engaging space romp, I think Solo delivers. Be warned, however; it’s one of those rare films with a higher rottentomatoes.com critic rating (71 percent) than audience score (59 percent), so not everyone has liked the film as much a I have. If you’re the rare person who’s new to the Star Wars franchise, you’d be better off starting here rather than the joyless Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Solo at least knows how to have fun.

UPGRADE What’s it rated? R Where’s it showing? Galaxy After his wife is killed during a brutal mugging that also leaves him paralyzed, Grey Trace (Logan Marshall Green, Spiderman: Homecoming, Prometheus) is approached by a billionaire inventor with an experimental cure that will “upgrade” his body. The cure—an Artificial Intelligence implant called STEM—gives Grey physical abilities beyond anything experienced and the ability to relentlessly claim vengeance against those who murdered his wife and left him for dead.

This is America Memorial Day is about freedom and remembrance

t’s Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, and my wife and I are posted up around the pool of the San Luis Obispo Elks Lodge, which is surrounded on two sides by a cemetery. As we drove in, we made note of the American flags dotting the graves of armed services members and their friends and family who gathered to remember and decorate their headstones. Towering over the Elks pool is a flagpole with a huge American flag just starting to flutter in the late morning breezes. Patriotism is in the air. Like many Americans, we’re commemorating the sacrifice of fallen soldiers with a day off work, barbecued burgers, and inexpensive American beer, but there’s no forgetting what the holiday means. The Elks, or in its longer form

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America, is an organization dedicated to veterans and children, and today’s poolside DJ, Richard, a former exalted ruler of the local lodge, asks everyone to exit the pool, stand, and after speaking from his heart about the meaning of Memorial Day, asks all to remove their hats, place their right hands over their hearts, and face the flag as he plays a rousing rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” as performed by Beyoncé at the Super Bowl. Afterward, the crowd bursts into cheers and applause. This is America. Eventually it’s time for some contests, and five teams of adults gather to compete in the frozen T-shirts and shorts competition. Each team gets plastic bags with soaked-and-frozen-solid shirts and

Later there’s a belly flop contest, first for adults and then for the kids. The crowd cheers for the finalists, and some serious skin slapping water has them howling with laughter. This is good old-fashioned family fun. Kids are swarming all over the pool, some tossing around a football in the field behind the pool, others on the swing set.

Sushi, steak, and seduction

PHOTOS BY HAYLEY THOMAS CAIN

Arigato takes fusion to new levels of savory satisfaction

PACFIC DREAM Arigato Sushi’s impressive Pacific Street roll features spicy tuna and cucumber within, plus a healthy helping of tuna, yellowtail, halibut, ikura (salmon roe), uni, and avocado throughout.

rigato Sushi Executive Chef Sky Rah stacks his plates with an irresistible kaleidoscope of color, flavor, and texture. You could say all fine dining chefs know how to seduce the senses like this, but Rah is at the very top of the class—a true Romeo. Lately, he’s had such sumptuous ingredients to play with: The best cuts of glorious bluefi n tuna, well-marbled Wagyu beef, delicate micro greens, and creamy raw halibut so pristine it appears almost translucent when wrapped around a perfect oval of tender sushi rice. Yes, Arigato Sushi has claimed its spot at 667 Marsh St.—the former location of Sumo Sushi— as an elegant, elevated place to devour rolls, sashimi, and steak (yes, filet mignon is on the menu, topped with shiitake shrooms and paired with rosemary potatoes). “Fusion” can be such a blasé term for such a beautiful and bold explosion of flavors. It is more than that. My recent visit to Arigato was a whirlwind of creamy, fatty toro (melts in your mouth on contact), tangy balsamic reduction, fi rm ahi transformed into gorgeous rosettes, playful citrus, salty roe, and real, fresh wasabi— made not from cornstarch and horseradish, but from taking the time to actually grate the wasabi rhizome. Rah, who graduated from the Culinary Institute of New York, worked for nearly a decade at the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan and has lent his skills to the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, where he studied under French Chef Olivier Dubreuil. A true artist, Rah balances the clean flavors of Japanese cuisine and the lusty charms of Europe with equal parts style and joy. Trained in French and Italian cooking as well as the skilled art of sushi, he knows his way around whole hamachi, a pot of demi glace, and any herb you can throw at him. Arigato owner Sang Park, who also owns Sushiya in SLO as well as Mikado Sushi in Santa Maria, has had his hands in the sushi world since 1995. It took about six months to transform this restaurant into his ultimate vision: welcoming red walls, warm lighting, and an altogether lofty menu. “It had to be high-end, upscale sushi,” Park said during an interview where I tried (and failed) not to splash delicious miso soup down my chin. “It’s about extremely good quality fish, but also the presentation. You’ll get Japanese style, but mixed with the European and the French flavors. These plates are just really awesome.” When it came to choosing a head chef, Park knew it couldn’t be just anybody. Finding Rah through friends was the ultimate good omen. Rah relocated from Las Vegas to SLO to take the job. The chef said his philosophy has always been about 30 percent Japanese, 70 percent European, give or take (just try the Mediterranean inspired cubed sashimi

FREESTYLE At Arigato, ahi and salmon sashimi mingle with zesty citrus and a dose of herbaceous Spring greens.

SAMPLE THE SEA The Arigato sashimi sampler is laden with thick slices of the freshest bluefin tuna, yellowtail, and salmon; topped with salty masago; and accompanied by tender microgreens and a drizzle of balsamic reduction.

This fish is for you

Arigato Sushi is located at 667 Marsh St. in downtown SLO and is open Sunday through Thursday for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. for dinner, and Friday and Saturday for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 to 10 p.m. for dinner.

tuna with capers and couscous, and you’ll understand). With beloved traditional haunts like Goshi, more modern fusion spots like Naked Fish, and fast casual sushi options throughout the area, Arigato General Manager Aaron Reantazo had one question to answer. “We asked ourselves, ‘How we can make something totally different for the people of SLO?’ We’re not just using Japanese sauces, but also European sauces and even some new vegetables, like roast peppers, into the mix,” he said. Yes, there’s a lot to take in on this menu: sushi rolls, oysters, scallops, noodles (both Japanese and Italian), New York strip steaks, roasted chicken, and black cod drizzled in red miso umebashi (Japanese salt plum) reduction. A local wine list will soon be added, too. Not sure where to start? Both Park and Rah recommend the stellar chirashi—a Japanese rice bowl topped with raw fish and brimming with sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and crunchy textures. That said, if you really want to get acquainted with Arigato, I say make a beeline for the sushi bar. Clear your mind and clear your palate (a nub of ginger will do just fine). Now, prepare to plunge head first into a

H ayley’s P icks Rosé on wheels

Is there anything more “classic summer” than the hot sun bouncing off a metallic Airstream trailer? My family’s old Airstream had an 8-track player and a musty smell. This one is guaranteed to be a heck of a lot cuter. Just in time for summer, Malene Wines is throwing open the shiny doors of its 1969 “Malene Scene” Airstream Overlander trailer and inviting one and all to taste two new rosé releases. A sister winery to Chamisal Vineyards, Malene Wines has parked the unique “tasting trailer” adjacent to Chamisal at 7767 Orcutt Road in SLO (super Instagrammable, to be sure). Want in on this sweet wine experience? The trailer will be open for tasting on Fridays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Of course, it will also hit the road this summer in search of beachy fun, music festivals, and foodie events (as it turns out, chilled Malene rosé on tap adds a rosy hue to any shindig). The Airstream, which was sourced, rebuilt, and customized specifically for the Malene rosé brand, isn’t a sardine can, either. Indeed, it is roomy enough to accommodate a tasting bar and cozy seating for several guests. The newly released wines produced by winemaker Fintan du Fresne include a bandol-style rosé of mourvèdre, and an old vine rosé of grenache, made from 44-year-old vines. The two new wines join Malene’s recently released 2017 flagship cuvée, and all three will be on tap in the Airstream this summer. That’s a little bit more sophisticated than the family road cooler packed with juice boxes and ham sandwiches, no? Go to malenewines.com for more information. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain prefers her rosé from a vintage trailer at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

Here are some key rules to remember: 1. No more than 55 words. It’s in the title of the contest. Don’t forget it. 2. Hyphenated words count as individual words, except for words like “re-open” where both parts are not words on their own. 3. The title does not count toward the 55 total, but it should not exceed seven words.

4. Contractions are single words (i.e. “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve”). 5. Initials are one word, and acronyms are one word. 6. Numerals count as a single word, but if written out, they fall under rule No. 2 (e.g. 67 funky monkeys counts as three words; sixty-seven funky monkeys counts as four). 7. Punctuation doesn’t count, so feel free to use all the semicolons you want, but only if they’re correctly used!

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Confess your deepest secrets to yourself. Say them out loud when no one but you is listening. Testify at freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you would be wise to ruffle and revise your relationship with time. It would be healthy for you to gain more freedom from its relentless demands; to declare at least some independence from its oppressive hold on you; to elude its push to impinge on every move you make. Here’s a ritual you could do to spur your imagination: Smash a timepiece. I mean that literally. Go to the store and invest $20 in a hammer and alarm clock. Take them home and vociferously apply the hammer to the clock in a holy gesture of pure, righteous chastisement. Who knows? This bold protest might trigger some novel ideas about how to slip free from the imperatives of time for a few stolen hours each week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Promise me that you won’t disrespect, demean, or neglect your precious body in the coming weeks. Promise me that you will treat it with tender compassion and thoughtful nurturing. Give it deep breaths, pure water, healthy and delicious food, sweet sleep, enjoyable exercise, and reverential sex. Such veneration is always recommended, of course—but it’s especially crucial for you to attend to this noble work during the next four weeks. It’s time to renew and revitalize your commitment to your soft warm animal self.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Between 1967 and 1973, NASA used a series of Saturn V rockets to deliver six groups of American astronauts to the moon. Each massive vehicle weighed about 6.5 million pounds. The initial thrust required to launch it was tremendous. Gas mileage was 7 inches per gallon. Only later, after the rocket flew farther from the grip of Earth’s gravity, did the fuel economy improve. I’m guessing that in your own life, you may be experiencing something like that 7-inchesper-gallon feeling right now. But I guarantee you won’t have to push this hard for long.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mars, the planet that rules animal vitality and instinctual enthusiasm, will cruise through your astrological House of Synergy for much of the next five months. That’s why I’ve concluded that between now and mid-November, your experience of togetherness can and should reach peak expression. Do you want intimacy to be robust and intense, sometimes bordering on rambunctious? It will be if you want it to be. Adventures in collaboration will invite you to wander out to the frontiers of your understanding about how relationships work best.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Which astrological sign laughs hardest and longest and most frequently? I’m inclined to speculate that Sagittarius deserves the crown, with Leo and Gemini fighting it out for second place. But having said that, I suspect that in the coming weeks you Leos could rocket to the top of the chart, vaulting past Sagittarians. Not only are you likely to find everything funnier than usual, I bet you will also encounter more than the usual number of authentically humorous and amusing experiences. (P.S.: I hope you won’t cling too fiercely to your dignity, because that would interfere with your full enjoyment of the cathartic cosmic gift.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, a little extra egotism might be healthy for you right now. A surge of super-confidence would boost your competence; it would also fine-tune your physical well being and attract an opportunity that might not otherwise find its way to you. So, for example, consider the possibility of renting a billboard on which you put a giant photo of yourself with a tally of your accomplishments and a list of your demands. The cosmos and I won’t have any problem with you bragging more than usual or asking for more goodies than you’re usually content with.

magic that dispatches a batch of awkward karma. Hooray! Hallelujah! Praise Goo! But now listen to my admonition, Libra: The coming weeks won’t be a good time to toss and turn in your bed all night long thinking about what you might have done differently in the month of May. Honor the past by letting it go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear Dr. Astrology: In the past four weeks, I have washed all 18 of my underpants four times. Without exception, every single time, each item has been inside-out at the end of the wash cycle. This is despite the fact that most of them were not inside-out when I threw them in the machine. Does this weird anomaly have some astrological explanation? - Upside-Down Scorpio.” Dear Scorpio: Yes. Lately your planetary omens have been rife with reversals, inversions, flip-flops, and switchovers. Your underpants situation is a symptom of the bigger forces at work. Don’t worry about those bigger forces, though. Ultimately, I think you’ll be glad for the renewal that will emerge from the various turnabouts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As I sat down to meditate on your horoscope, a hummingbird flew in my open window. Scrambling to herd it safely back outside, I knocked my iPad on the floor, which somehow caused it to open a link to a Youtube video of an episode of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune, where the hostess Vanna White, garbed in a long red gown, revealed that the word puzzle solution was USE IT OR LOSE IT. So what does this omen mean? Maybe this: You’ll be surprised by a more-or-less delightful interruption that compels you to realize that you had better start taking greater advantage of a gift or blessing that you’ve been lazy or slow to capitalize on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in a phase when you’ll be smart to bring more light and liveliness into the work you do. To spur your efforts, I offer the following provocations. 1. “When I work, I relax. Doing nothing makes me tired.” - Pablo Picasso. 2. “Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” - Ann Landers. 3. “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” - Aristotle. 4. “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” - Scott Adams. 5. “Working hard and working smart can sometimes be two different things.” - Byron Dorgan. 6. “Don’t stay in bed unless you can make money in bed.” - George Burns. 7. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.” - Mark Twain.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “There isn’t enough of anything as long as we live,” said poet and short-story writer Raymond Carver. “But at intervals a sweetness appears and, given a chance, prevails.” My reading of the astrological omens suggests that the current phase of your cycle is one of those intervals, Aquarius. In light of this grace period, I have some advice for you, courtesy of author Anne Lamott: “You weren’t born a person of cringe and contraction. You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, breezes. You learned contraction to survive, but that was then.” Surrender to the sweetness, dear Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Between you and your potential new power spot is an imaginary 10-foot-high, electrified fence. It’s composed of your least charitable thoughts about yourself and your rigid beliefs about what’s impossible for you to accomplish. Is there anything you can do to deal with this inconvenient illusion? I recommend that you call on Mickey Rat, the cartoon superhero in your dreams who knows the difference between destructive destruction and creative destruction. Maybe as he demonstrates how enjoyable it could be to tear down the fence, you’ll be inspired to join in the fun. ∆
