IMAGE COURTESY OF SLO COUNTY

n March 6, San Luis Obispo County supervisors denied a North County water district a role in the management discussions for the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin, citing low public “trust” in its members and the “scary” prospect of commercial agriculture having outsized power in basin decisions.

In a contentious 3-2 vote, the Board of Supervisors declined to relinquish any of its groundwater management authority to the Estrella-El Pomar-Creston (EPC) Water District, a district composed of 170 landowners and agriculturalists in North County— including major grape producers like J Lohr and Justin Vineyards.

The decision means that the district’s members will be barred from a multi-agency process of writing a groundwater sustainability plan for the 780-square-mile aquifer over the next two years, per the state’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). It marks the latest clash between the North County commercial agriculture community, rural residents, and county supervisors over groundwater.

“There is a lot of distrust in this room,” 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton noted after 90 minutes of intense public comment and before she voted against the district.

The EPC Water District formed in late 2017, with the hope to represent commercial ag interests on the Paso Robles Basin Cooperative Committee, a body made up of five water agencies—including the county, city of Paso Robles, and Shandon-San Juan Water District—and charged with writing a 20-year sustainability plan for the droughtstricken basin.

Because the district was formed after a SGMA deadline, the EPC district needed county approval to assume partial management control

and join the negotiations.

But Supervisors John Peschong, Debbie Arnold, and Compton objected to how the county’s voting powers would diminish on the committee with the EPC district’s involvement. The county’s voting and cost share would’ve dropped from 61 to 32 percent.

“If you look at the numbers, I can’t get my head around it,” Peschong said.

“I think it’s disproportionate. This is what I think is the scariest part about this.”

Peschong’s comments echoed the fears of a chorus of North County landowners who have been opposed to the formation of Paso water districts since 2014—the year agricultural stakeholders proposed a single water district to manage the Paso basin, an idea defeated by voters in a 2016 DENIED REPRESENTATION The SLO County Board of election. On March 6, residents Supervisors declined a request from the Estrella-El Pomarrepeated past concerns about the Creston Water District to manage areas of the Paso Robles threat of water banking, theft, and Groundwater Basin currently under county jurisdiction. mismanagement if the EPC Water District and the Shandon-San Juan dissented to the board majority’s decision, Water District—which has a 20 percent vote on calling it ideological and fear-based. the committee—were to “join forces.”

“I find myself at this disbelief that no matter “I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist. There is a how many times we try to direct people to do the voting cabal that could be formed in the North County,” said Cody Ferguson, a landowner over right thing, and they do it, we’re not going to let the basin. them go forward,” Hill said.

In addition to denying any alleged agenda Supervisor Compton laid the responsibility at to hijack the committee, EPC Water District the feet of the water district stakeholders. officials pointed out that the basin’s final “You guys have divided the community up sustainability plan requires a unanimous vote there. You’ve done nothing to build consensus. from all members of the committee.

“We simply want to be at the table,” said Dana You’ve just sort of gone through with it, and Merrill, the president of the EPC Water District. created a lot of suspicion,” Compton said. Δ Supervisors Bruce Gibson and Adam Hill —Peter Johnson

Pismo council and mayor to get pay raise

council members and the mayor by 50 percent.

The council voted unanimously on March 6 to introduce an ordinance that will increase pay from $514.80 per month for council members and $814.80 for the mayor to $772.20 for the council and $1,072.20 for the mayor. The last time the council raised its salary was in December 2008.

“It’s been 10 years,” councilmember Erik Howell said.

According to city staff, the compensation will help offset expenses and lost wages incurred by council members during the course of their duties and may encourage other individuals to run for office in the future. Pismo Beach City Manager James Lewis supported the increase, stating that the council members managed a “city on the move,” spending large amounts of time and energy on complex, large-scale projects.

“You definitely earned this,” he told the council members.

Councilmember Marcia Guthrie, who was elected in 2016, said the raise was something she probably would have opposed prior to serving on the council as an elected official.

“If you are a conscientious council person, you spend a lot more time than people realize. There are calls to return, people to meet, meetings to attend,” she said.

The raises will cost an estimated $26,606 annually. The ordinance will be brought back to the council for a final vote on March 20, and if approved, will take effect Dec. 1, 2018.

Pismo isn’t the only city to recently revisit

Paso Housing Authority hosts immigration forum

Education leaders, organizations, and families gathered in the community room of the Paso Robles Housing Authority on March 6 to offer information and support on immigration.

Cuesta College clubs Dreamers United and the Latino Leadership Network had booths for current and incoming students. Rise SLO and Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County were also in attendance. The biggest topic of the night covered by all entities was Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

DACA is an executive order signed by former President Barack Obama that allowed undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country before the age of 16 to apply for two-year work permits—that could be renewed indefinitely. The program temporarily shields thousands of young adults from deportation.

The program was scheduled to end on March 5 but court orders have forced the Trump administration to continue issuing renewals.

Barbara) representative Erika Reyes said that although the DACA program is continuing, how long it will last is unclear.

“We’ve seen that with this Congress right now, they are not able to come to a compromise with DACA itself,” Reyes said.

While the timeline of the program is in limbo she is encouraging individuals with a DACA status that’s set to expire to renew their application.

“That at least gives another window to be able to continue to go to school, continue to work, and stay with your families,” Reyes said.

The DACA program is not accepting first-time applicants.

James Brescia, superintendent of the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education opened the March 6 meeting by talking—in English and Spanish— about the safety of his students.

Brescia said he’s had inquiries about birth certificates. A birth certificate is needed when children are enrolled in school to verify their identity and age. Brescia said that school offices in the county are not keeping the birth certificate or copies of the certificate.

“All the schools are doing it for the protection of the students,” he said.

CalCoastNews makes argument for appeal of libel verdict

Nearly one year after losing a highprofile libel lawsuit in SLO County, CalCoastNews filed its opening brief with the 2nd Distric Court of Appeal.

The opening brief, filed Feb. 26, asks the appellate court to reverse the lower court’s judgment against reporter Dan Blackburn, and throw out the $1.1 million in total damages the jury leveled against him, reporter Karen Velie, and CalCoastNews in their entirety.

“We are feeling very good about our prospects,” Paul J. Beard II, the attorney representing CalCoastNews, told New Times.

The verdict and damages stem from a 2012 article about Arroyo Grande waste management businessman Charles Tenborg bylined by both Blackburn and Velie. After a civil trial that ended in March 2017, a jury found that the story contained defamatory statements about Tenborg. CalCoastNews announced its intentions to appeal in May 2017.

The appellate brief argues that Blackburn was only responsible for writing a portion of the article, and that his portion did not contain any of the statements about Tenborg the jury found defamatory.

The brief also asked the court to throw out the $1.1 million in damages, claiming that the trial court gave jurors erroneous and prejudicial instructions.

“The entire process was poisoned by bad jury instructions,” Beard said.

Alternately, the brief also asks the court to consider throwing out the $300,000 in presumed damages against Blackburn, and the $500,000 in punitive damages against Velie.

Tenborg’s attorney has until March 28 to file a response.

Monarch Dunes’ buildout gets SLO County approval

VIEWER DISCRETION

Despite mounting concerns about groundwater, the SLO County Board of

SLO • 805-215-4566

6 • New Times • March 8 - March 15, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

Supervisors approved the final phase of the Monarch Dunes development in Nipomo, paving the way for 163 new single-family homes on 143 acres.

On March 6, supervisors voted 3-2 to deny a neighborhood appeal of the conditional use permit granted to developer Monarch Dunes LLC. Craig Merrill and Neighbors challenged the permit on the basis that the water landscape had “irrefutably changed” since the project’s original environmental impact report (EIR) was done in the early 2000s.

The Monarch Dunes community, which already has more than 1,100 housing units on 957 acres, draws water from the Santa Maria Valley Groundwater Basin and is served by the Woodlands Mutual Water Company. Recent well reports show groundwater levels on the Nipomo Mesa are “severely” low.

“The fact is there is not enough wet water in the basin right now,” appellants’ representative Dennis Delzeit told board members.

But project representatives contended that the last phase of the project would be “water neutral,” thanks to a pipeline from Santa Maria set to bring 2,500 acre-feet of water per year to the Nipomo Mesa. As part of an adjudicated basin management plan, Monarch Dunes will buy 17 percent of that supplemental water, essentially counteracting the additional demand on the basin by the new homes, the developers argued.

“It was a critical decision and I know that they’re glad they made it,” project consultant Jamie Jones said about the pipeline.

Fourth District Supervisor Lynn Compton, who represents Nipomo, sided with the developer, emphasizing Monarch Dunes’ financial contribution to the Santa Maria pipeline, touted at $4 million to $5 million by Woodlands Mutual Water Company General Manager Rob Miller.

“Had it not been for these agreements, we wouldn’t have supplemental water,” Compton said.

Supervisors Bruce Gibson (2nd District) and Adam Hill (3rd District) voted against denying the appeal, agreeing with the appellant that groundwater levels were too low to be green lighting the last phase of the project.

“I can’t find that the environmental analysis in this 20-year EIR is adequate at this point,” Gibson said.

“I think climate change here is germane, specifically to the reliability of supplemental water. It doesn’t come from some other planet. It comes from a different part of the same basin.”

Wallace reaches plea deal in conflict-ofinterest case

Agreeing to a plea deal with SLO County prosecutors, former South SLO County Sanitation District administrator and Wallace Group engineering firm founder John Wallace pleaded “no contest” to two misdemeanor conflict-ofinterest counts, bringing the more than 1-year-old case to a resolution.

“I’m glad the matter is finally resolved,” Wallace said in a written response to questions from New Times.

The SLO County District Attorney’s office announced the plea deal March 6. Under its conditions, Wallace will pay $59,724 in restitution. The money includes $18,097 to the sanitation district and $41,626 to the Avila Beach Community Services District, where he once served as general manager.

In 2017, the SLO County District Attorney’s Office brought felony charges against Wallace in connection with his work at both the sanitation district and the Avila Beach CSD, accusing him of having a conflict of interest because, as general manager and administrator, he permitted the Wallace Group to provide engineering services for them.

Both before and after the charges, Wallace maintained that the contracts for those services were reviewed and approved by legal counsel and the governing boards of the districts.

“The investigation did not reveal any misappropriation of funds on the part of Mr. Wallace or Wallace group,” a statement from the SLO County DA’s Office said.

The allegations that those charges were based on dated back to 2011 and 1995, raising questions about the statute of limitations from Santa Barbara County Judge Timothy Saffell, who took on the case after it was moved out of SLO County.

At a March 5 preliminary hearing, Staffel raised doubts about whether the statute of limitations would allow the DA’s Office to prosecute Wallace for conduct prior to 2013. The next day, the DA’s Office announced the plea deal.

“I’m sure that the judge’s comments and the way the case played out had a substantial role,” Kenneth White, Wallace’s attorney, said. “The judge saw that this wasn’t something nefarious.”

SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow commented on the plea agreement in a March 6 written statement.

“This prosecution illustrates the very technical nature of California’s conflictof-interest law and serves to place special districts statewide on notice that this business model poses an inherent conflict of interest and puts ratepayers’ money at risk,” Dow said. Δ —Chris McGuinness

While commonplace today, the strict regulations were a novelty then, earning a mention in the Los Angles Times as one of the “nation’s toughest” tobacco laws.

So stringent was the new law that thenbar owner, the late Joe McCarthy, worried it might put him out of business.

“Almost every customer I have smokes,” he told reporter Miles Corwin. “I tell some of these guys they can’t smoke, they’ll just find a bar in another city.”

McCarthy’s is still in business 28 years later, and nearly every city in California and beyond has adopted the bans that seemed radical all those years ago. But while SLO was once a pioneer in tobacco regulations, it and the rest of SLO County have now fallen behind, in part due to the rise of electronic smoking products, which are outpacing state trends in both availability and use among youth under the age of 21.

“This is the cigarette for a new generation of addicts,” said Inger Appanaitis, an epidemiologist and

program manager for the SLO County Health Agency’s Tobacco Control Program.

In 2016, the program surveyed nearly 100 tobacco retailers in SLO County, including gas stations, smoke shops, convenience stores, and other businesses that sold smoking products, and found that 89 percent of them offered e-cigarette products. That number was higher than any other county in state and nearly 30 percent above the state average. In addition, the availability of e-cigarettes has grown over the last several years. The number grew more than 20 percent since 2013, according to the program’s data.

While the numbers are high, Appanaitis said they did not surprise her. E-cigarette use across the state has been going up, and smoking rates in SLO County have generally been higher than the state average, she said.

E-cigarette product use has risen as their use has been billed as a safer alternative to smoking for adults and also as a way for smokers to wean themselves off of traditional cigarettes.

But Appanaitis and others worry that the products are actually targeting a different demographic: young people under 21.

“One of our objectives is to reduce the availability of e-cigarettes, because they are a threat to our youth,” she said. “This is one of our highest priorities.”

Appanaitis said that many e-cigarettes and vaporizers offer various flavors that might appeal to children and teenagers. There are hundreds of “juices” for such devices in flavors like cotton candy, butterscotch, and caramel

cappuccino. They are often marketed in brightly colored packaging, which is another way they might appeal to children, she added.

“Some of those flavors are not targeted for adults who are looking to quit smoking,” Appanaitis said.

In SLO County, the rise in popularity and availability of e-cigarette products appears to have coincided with a rise in use among underage youth. According to the 2016 California Healthy Kids Survey, which a sample of students from school districts across the state take part in each year, an estimated 14 percent of participating 11th graders in SLO County reported using an e-cigarette product at least once, more than twice the number of those who reported using traditional cigarettes, and four times more than those who reported using smokeless tobacco products like chewing tobacco.

“A lot of young people are trying tobacco for the first time in this form,” Appanaitis said.

While the smoking age in California is 21, that fact doesn’t seem to keep those products out of the hands of underage SLO youth. The SLO County Health Agency’s Tobacco Control Program helps conduct enforcement operations on local tobacco retailers. According to Appanaitis, an estimated 10 percent of the state’s tobacco retailers have illegally sold to minors. In SLO County, that number is higher.

“It’s not great. I know we are above that,” she said. “Generally, we are closer to 12 or 15 percent.”

To help reduce e-cigarette use by minors in the county, Appanaitis said that local cities and the county could pass stricter regulations, particularly ones limiting or even banning the use and sale of flavored

Female power I n 1975, a group of women came together with one thing in common: They couldn’t apply for a business loan because of their sex. Dawn Goonetilleke said that back then, a woman needed her husband or son to cosign for the loan.

A band of women formed and advocated for change. These women were instrumental in getting former President Ronald Reagan to pass the Women’s Business Ownership Act in 1988. The act established the National Women’s Business Council, a non-partisan federal advisory council created to serve as an independent source of advice and counsel to the president, Congress, and the U.S. Small Business Administration.

It also created the Women’s Business Centers, a national network of more than 100 educational centers throughout the Unites States and its territories. The centers are designed to assist women in starting and growing small businesses.

The women who spearheaded these monumental changes formed the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO). Last October, the Central Coast officially began its chapter of the organization, with Goonetilleke as its current president.

“I wanted a way to give back to the community, and I was also looking for a network of women to connect with,” Goonetilleke said.

What started out as five women

e-cigarette products. She also cited a recently passed smoking ban at Cal Poly, and a similar ban reportedly in the works for Cuesta College, as positive steps to return SLO and other cities in the county to their status as leaders in fighting against the use of smoking products.

“SLO was the first city in the world to ban smoking in restaurants and bars,” she said. “Even though we achieved that milestone, we don’t have as strong tobacco control laws compared to other cities and counties in California.”

E-cigarette proponents have pushed back on some of the concerns voiced

by Appanaitis and others, indicating that some of the fears and scrutiny coming from the media and government regulators is an emotional reaction.

“The e-cig looks like a traditional cigarette but that is where all similarities end,” the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association (TVECA), a nonprofit industry trade group, stated on its website. “People mostly have a very visceral reaction to traditional cigarettes, and the e-cig will share in that emotion until one looks further into what this technology encompasses.”

According to its website, TVECA requires its members to comply with all legislative regulations, such as not making any medical claims about the use of cigarettes and ensuring that product packaging and marketing does not appeal to children or young adults. ∆

getting coffee and brainstorming the beginning of an affiliate in the area, has grown to more than 30 members. These individuals’ professions include holistic doctor, business owner, event planner, photographer, realtor, marketing, and animal care.

Goonetilleke said the organization has been a source for women at various stages in their careers to share experiences, knowledge, and tips with one another.

She’s a realtor and has found that women in the organization have become her confidantes.

“Being able to come together across all industries is so good and empowering. You learn so much from each other, and you also give back a lot to people starting out,” she said.

The Central Coast chapter meets once a month for a meal and a guest speaker. It’s a time to learn about the ever-changing and growing business world and how women can work together to tackle it.

Lindsey McConaghy, the chapter’s membership director, said the organization gave her the confidence to start her public relations business— Mande Public Relations. She moved to the Central Coast from London in 2017 and had a lot of doubt with the start of her business. But through the local chapter, she met people in her community who were successful.

“It was really game-changing for me

because seeing someone that’s relatable to you changes your perspective,” McConaghy said.

Goonetilleke and McConaghy agree that the members have formed a tribe of support and knowledge that they can only hope will continue to grow with time.

“There is a need for it, there are so many people in this community that I know that are business owners. The main goal is to support women in business and to have that support network,” Goonetilleke said.

She said the chapter supports all business owners—men and women. For more information about NAWBO Central Coast, visit the chapter’s Facebook page.

Offshore oil bank Proposal to expand federal oil and gas leases off the California coast has SLO County environmentalists calling for resistance

BY CAMILLIA LANHAM

S

plotches of black tar smeared across portions of the Central Coast’s beaches and tidal areas are teeny-weeny glimpses of the energy potential that lies beneath the Pacific Ocean.

It’s tough and sticky, clinging to the sand that gives way to the Estero Bluffs north of Cayucos, marring the pure white of sun-bleached sand dollars along the high tide line at Pismo State Beach.

A product of natural seepage, the thick hydrocarbon leaks into the marine ecosystem out of an oil reservoir below the ocean floor known as the Santa Maria-Partington Basin. It stretches approximately 165 miles from Point Arguello near Lompoc to Point Sur near San Simeon and is about 25 miles wide.

The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that the basin contains up to 2.49 billion barrels of oil and 1.44 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. A little less than half of that is considered to be undiscovered technically recoverable resources.

In other words, we have the technology to get that much of it out of the ground.

The question is: Will we?

As the price of oil goes up, so does the theoretical amount of oil that could be commercially produced. The difference between $60 a barrel and $120 is about 20 billion barrels of offshore oil, according to the Geological Survey. But that’s only if an oil company can purchase a lease from the federal government in the first place.

Congressional and presidential moratoriums have protected the West Coast from offshore oil lease sales in federal waters (which start 3 miles from the shoreline) since the mid-1980s. Those protections lapsed in 2009. Until recently, the West Coast was still excluded from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM) five-year plans for Outer Continental Shelf oil lease sales in federal waters.

However, that—like so many other things—has changed under the Trump administration and Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. A recent draft of the proposed lease sales for 2019-2024 includes a plan to open up the West Coast to new lease sales, six along California and one each for Oregon and Washington. The move puts the state and local interests at odds with the federal government—something that seems to be 30-year-old history repeating itself.

In the early 1980s, Shell Oil purchased one of the last federal leases sold off the West

Coast. It was adjacent to San Luis Obispo County, and the fight over that lease and its future environmental risks led county voters to implement an extra layer of local protection in 1986. It’s known as Measure A, and it bans the construction of onshore infrastructure that supports offshore oil production unless voters approve it.

“Measure A is a very, very powerful tool,” said 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold during the Feb. 8 SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting. “It would be a pretty tall hill to climb to get the majority of the public to make a change to Measure A, which in essence says, ‘You can’t build any infrastructure.’ Therefore, it’s going to be pretty difficult to build anything off the shoreline of our county.”

But there are some who believe the county needs to take a stronger stance, that while Measure A does offer a level of protection, it isn’t enough—and it won’t be enough if an oil company decides it wants to drill off the SLO coast. At that Feb. 8 meeting, several environmental activists spoke during public comment, requesting that the board put a resolution forth formally opposing BOEM’s draft proposal.

Second District Supervisor Bruce Gibson responded by offering up a motion. With fellow liberal 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill absent, the remainder of the board was silent.

“Lacking a second, this dies, and that’s telling,” Gibson said. “It’s a very sad situation that this board majority refuses to stand up to a palpable threat.”

Producing hydrocarbon

In 1964, the first exploratory oil well was drilled in federal waters off the West Coast. It was at least 3 miles west of the SLO County shoreline. Nine more were drilled in federal waters off the SLO coast between 1982 and 1986, according to Public Affairs Officer John Romero from BOEM’s Pacific Region.

He said that some of those wells didn’t produce enough to pay, while others did, and three of the wells have incomplete records. Ultimately, though, those exploratory wells were as far as things got in the hunt for economically viable oil off the SLO coast.

Farther south is a different story.

There are currently 38 active, producing federal leases and 23 federal platforms in Southern California, all of which are located south of SLO County. BOEM’s draft proposal details that oil and gas production in Southern California federal waters began in 1968 and had totaled more than 1.35 billion barrels of oil and 1.84 trillion cubic feet of natural gas as of December 2016.

RESIST U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal leads a press conference in San Luis Obispo on Feb. 13 against the Trump administration’s proposal to open up federal waters off the West Coast to oil and gas leases.

similar to SLO County’s or their elected governing bodies passed ordinances that banned new onshore oil facilities. Robert Griffin was a SLO City Council member at the time, and he helped draft the county’s initiative.

“The ordinance needed to have pretty clear jurisdiction over what we were claiming it would do since the federal government has pretty clear jurisdiction over lease sales and whatever is going on offshore,” Griffin said. “[We] looked it over from a land-use perspective since the county has considerable control over land use, and it had to be simple so that people would understand.”

Shell Oil did test the measure, putting onshore oil facilities projects on the ballot in 1988, which SLO County voters elected to deny.

Drilling challenge

In that time, there have been a few oil spills in the Pacific, including the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara. Over an 11-day period, as much as 4.2 million gallons of crude oil gushed out of a brand new Union Oil well that blew out, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA).

NOAA stated that even after the well was capped, “fissures in the sea bottom continued to leak oil and gas for nearly a year after.”

The memory of that spill, which coated 35 miles of coastline, lingered as SLO County activists took on the fight against Shell. But the resistance wasn’t limited to the Central Coast.

It was sort of a statewide initiative, according to Richard Charter, who worked for a local government coordination program in Santa Cruz County at the time. There had been a federal push to develop offshore oil leases at the end of the 1970s and early 1980s.

Companies were drilling exploratory wells off the coast in places like Humboldt and San Francisco, and there was talk about lease sales near Big Sur. “We started asking the counties: What can we do on our own coast … that would act as a deterrent to offshore drilling?”

Charter said. “Somebody went around and appeared before each elected body. I helped write all of [the ordinances], and each one was worded slightly differently because we were told we would be sued, and we were.”

Charter said that 24 cities and counties in the state either passed ballot measures

The Western Oil and Gas Association (now the Western States Petroleum Association) challenged the ordinances’ constitutionality in court, alleging that they violated the Constitution’s Commerce Clause. SLO County’s Measure A held up alongside the rest, and that was in part due to the moratorium on offshore lease sales in federal waters. The California’s Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the case wasn’t “ripe.”

“The court holds that the case is not ripe because it is not clear whether any of the leases remaining off the California coast will ever be offered for sale, and the oil companies have not demonstrated that the ordinances will interfere with their bidding rights for OCS [Outer Continental Shelf] leases,” the ruling from June 1990 states.

Now that there could be OCS lease sales off the California coast again, that ruling opens up the ordinances to the potential for another lawsuit, Charter said.

“The onshore facilities ordinances were supposed to be the absolute last defense,” Charter said. “What you can anticipate is that the oil companies will try to knock out these ordinances again, particularly if the San Luis Obispo Board [of Supervisors] behaves like a deer in headlights.”

He points to the board majority’s vote against the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary as further proof that the county’s elected officials aren’t doing enough to protect the local coastline from offshore oil drilling.

While Charter joins a number of people who believe that the county is

to cost $147 million, which Chevron has agreed to pay for.

How long will all of that take?

“It’s hard to say, but many years,” Pemberton said.

Formal opposition

PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

SIGN OF THE TIMES An activist holds up a sing at a recent anti-oil drilling press conference detailing what he believes to be the current fight in SLO County: the Phillips 66 rail spur, a petition to ban fracking, and resistance to offshore oil drilling.

basically “rolling out the red carpet to oil companies,” Supervisor Arnold doesn’t see it that way. The evidence she offers are two letters the SLO County Board of Supervisors penned last year, one of which was sent to Interior Secretary Zinke on March 7, 2017.

The letter references the county’s opposition to OCS leasing for oil and gas development, mentions the environmental risks associated with drilling offshore, and points to Measure A as an “excellent gauge” to judge the will of San Luis Obispo County.

“That to me is the perfect letter, and I feel like we’re in a perfect place right now,” Arnold told New Times. “It lays out the sentiment of our county perfectly. It talks about what we’ve done as a county to protect ourselves.”

Measure A was a local, grassroots effort, she said, it held up against challenges, both at the ballot box and in the courts. Griffin, who helped craft the measure, acknowledges that although the measure was supported by a majority of the county’s residents, there were still people in the county who didn’t support it.

“I never thought it would be used by the other side—to be used as an excuse,” Griffin said. “I still think it’s a valuable struggle, and I think it’s disappointing that our Board of Supervisors, even though they’re not as steeped in this local history, are taking kind of a narrow view.”

Steve Rebuck, who worked as a fishing industry advocate for decades, signed his name to the argument in opposition to Measure A on the 1986 ballot. He did this, he said, because he felt that the offshore oil-drilling issue was a red herring.

“I really don’t see this as a real threat in San Luis Obispo County,” he said, adding that the county’s shoreline isn’t conducive to having onshore facilities in the first place.

“All of the equipment that has to be taken out to those things has to be done by ship. … There’s not a place to launch boats.”

Environmental risks

The Refugio oil spill is a recent reminder of the risk that offshore drilling can bring to shore. In 2015, the Plains All-American pipeline near Refugio State Beach ruptured, releasing more than 100,000 gallons of oil, “much of which ran down a storm drain and into a ravine under the freeway, entering the ocean,” according to NOAA. “Field teams documented dead fish,

invertebrates, and other wildlife in the oiled areas following the spill,” NOAA stated in its damage assessment.

“The spill also shut down fisheries, closed multiple beaches, and impacted recreational uses such as camping, noncommercial fishing, and beach visits.”

That pipeline was a lifeline for offshore oil facilities near the Santa Barbara County coast, and it has yet to reopen, partially causing one company to file for bankruptcy in 2017. Venoco LLC, which operated offshore oil rigs near Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, quitclaimed three state leases in April 2017 and five federal leases in January 2018. One of the state leases had been continually producing oil and gas since 1949.

Venoco referred New Times’ questions to an individual outside of the company who handled public relations. That person didn’t return a request for comment.

The company issued a statement in 2017 saying that a large factor in Venoco’s bankruptcy was the closing of the PlainsAll American pipeline, which Venoco used to move oil from its offshore facilities into Santa Barbara County. With the pipeline still out of service, Venoco’s Platform Holly has been idle since 2015.

The platforms that Venoco operated in both state and federal waters are currently in the process of being decommissioned, meaning the wells will get plugged and the platforms will most likely be dismantled.

But Venoco won’t be paying for any of it.

Earlier this year, state officials asked lawmakers to consider spending $100 million in taxpayer dollars to dismantle two operations—Venoco’s and Rincon Island, whose operator filed for bankruptcy last year after being charged with multiple safety and environmental violations. Sheri Pemberton, a spokesperson with the State Lands Commission, said the agency is currently negotiating an agreement with ExxonMobil, which held the state leases prior to Venoco, to plug and abandon 32 wells and decommission Platform Holly and the Ellwood Onshore Oil Facility.

According to the commission, Venoco had generated $160 million in state revenue from royalties and rent since 1997. Shuttering its state operations is expected to cost at least $58 million in the short run. Pemberton said that dismantling Venoco’s federal operations, Platforms Gail and Grace, is estimated

Measure A has so far done what it was intended to do. Shell Oil, which owned a federal drilling lease off the SLO coast in the ’80s, eventually let the lease fall back to the Department of the Interior. The northern section of the Santa Maria-Partington Basin is still relatively unexplored when it comes to oil and gas, and the industry experts that New Times spoke with said they haven’t really heard of anyone interested in drilling off SLO County’s coastline.

Romero from BOEM’s Pacific Region said that most of the oil and gas interest so far has been focused on the Gulf of Mexico.

Bob Poole, the director of production, state, and coastal issues for the Western States Petroleum Association, said he hadn’t heard of any interest either, but that even if oil companies did want to pursue and develop federal leases in the Pacific, “The regulatory dynamic involves everybody—federal, state, and local.”

The goal for at least one elected Central Coast official is to insert the state even further into those regulations. State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) proposed legislation in January that would prohibit the State Lands Commission from approving any new leases for pipelines, piers, wharves, or other infrastructure needed to support new federal oil and gas development within its jurisdiction. The commission has authority over anything in state waters, which stretches between the mean tide line onshore to 3 miles offshore. New Times was unable to reach Jackson before press time.

lease renewals for already existing offshore operations.

“If it is amended to only extend a moratorium on new leases, I’d probably look at it more favorably,” Cunningham told New Times, adding that existing offshore facilities that are producing oil with good environmental track records should continue operating. “I’m not in any way anti-oil. I think we need an all-of-theabove oil strategy. I think as a nation we need to pursue energy independence.”

Cunningham co-authored an Assembly Joint Resolution that asks the Department of the Interior to give California the Florida exemption. The Southern state was initially included in BOEM’s 20192024 draft proposal for offshore lease sales, but after pleas from state officials, Florida’s coastline is supposedly getting dropped from the plan. As of March 6, the resolution had passed out of the Assembly and was waiting for a vote in the Senate.

“We have a lot of coastal tourism, we have a lot of commercial activities … I think the case for California to get the same treatment that Florida got by the federal government is very, very strong,” Cunningham said. “The risk with offshore drilling is very real and present, and you can’t really deny it.”

Those risks are something that the public has spoken to the SLO County Board of Supervisors about at every meeting since Feb. 8. With Supervisor Hill back on the dais March 6, he proposed that county staff prepare a resolution for the county to join 33 other coastal California communities in strong opposition to BOEM’s draft proposal.

The resolution would be too late to make the five-year plan’s official comment period, which ends March 9. Still, the board voted to agendize a discussion for April.

BAN IT Petitioners used U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal’s Feb. 13 press conference against offshore oil drilling as the place to kick off their ballot initiative to ban new oil wells, hydraulic fracturing, and other intense oil extraction techniques.

“California’s economy thrives because of our environmental protections. The Trump administration’s reckless decision to open these waters to further oil development represents a step backward into the outdated, dirty, and destructive energy policies of the past,” Jackson said in a statement sent out on Jan. 4.

State Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) doesn’t quite see things as Jackson does. He hasn’t taken a position on the senator’s bill yet, but he did say it’s going to be tough for him to support it because it would also ban new infrastructure or

Hill said that depending on Measure A, which is more than 25 years old, and penning letters to public officials here and there simply isn’t good enough.

“I think it’s pretty clear that we have not joined the other coastal communities in protesting any plans to drill off our coast,” Hill said at the meeting. “I couldn’t think of anything more damaging to our local economy than to see offshore drilling and the hazards it brings.” ∆ Reach Editor Camillia Lanham at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Opinion PG&E response: The facts on storing spent fuel

A

my Hewes’ recent commentary, “A pact with the devil” (Feb. 22), makes several false contentions.

What New Times readers should know is that the dry cask system used to store spent fuel at Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) is safe and robust, and that the transportation of spent fuel to a potential offsite storage facility would be a safe, well-managed and highly regulated activity.

At our dry cask facility, spent fuel is safely stored in stainless steel canisters, which are then placed inside thick steel and concrete shielding casks that are bolted into robust pads built on top of bedrock to safely withstand the effects of an earthquake. The system we employ

is in use throughout the world, and we selected it several years ago following an in-depth public participation and regulatory oversight process.

If one of the inner canisters were to be transported offsite to a storage facility, it would be placed in a transportation cask that is designed to withstand impacts, puncturing, or other potential hazards that could be faced in travel.

For an example of how robust the current transport cask system is, take a look at an online video (https:// holtecinternational.com/2013/09/03/us-armys-missile-launcher-strikeshi%e2%80%90star-180-with-pinpointaccuracy-a-red-letter-day-for-holtecstransport-cask-program/) of a scale

Gun-free Australia

Here are some facts to keep in mind when comparing Australia to the U.S. Australia has a population of around 24 million. Our population is more than 13 times larger. If one does the math (extrapolation) for a fair comparison, we should use 169 as the number of killing events (13 events multiplied by 13) and 1,027 deaths (79 deaths multiplied by 13) for comparison. Also, Australians do not have a “right” to own guns, so they have no constitutional argument to oppose gun control laws, while we enjoy constitutional protection of that right.

If Mr. McCalip wants to argue to confiscate and ban the sale of certain types of guns, I’m all for hearing his and other opinions. But for his argument to have any validity it needs

Ken McCalip either lied or failed to check his facts when he stated that since 1996, when Australia banned and confiscated certain types of weapons, they’ve “had ‘zero’ mass shootings” (“Australia got tough,” March 1).

Had Mr. McCalip taken the time to perform a quick Google search, “mass murders in Australia,” he would have found a link to Wikipedia that lists all reported mass murders, both before and after 1996. In that list he would have discovered that guns were indeed used in killings after 1996. In total, since 1996, there were 13 mass killing events, 79 people were killed with weapons including guns, vehicles, arson, blunt instruments, and knives.

test where a projectile traveling at 600 miles per hour is unable to breach the outer cask that protects the inner, sealed canister.

To be clear, the storage system we employ is safe and nothing is more important to PG&E then ensuring the safety of our employees and surrounding communities.

The question we should be asking is not whether spent fuel can be safely stored onsite (it is) or can the fuel be safely transported to another location (it can). The real question is why should we have to continue storing spent fuel onsite at all?

The fact is that the federal government made a commitment to accept and store spent fuel, and it is important to our customers, and our host communities, that the government fulfills this commitment. We strongly support policies and legislation to achieve this goal, and individuals and groups that are engaged

in this issue would serve this region well by offering similar support.

We encourage the community to learn more about this issue and the plant in general. Public tours of DCPP, which include a visit to the dry cask storage facility, are available, and information to schedule a tour can be obtained at diablocanyonpge.com.

Members of our community should also know that we recently announced the application process for the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel, which is being created to foster open dialogue between members of the local community and PG&E on topics regarding the decommissioning of the plant, including fuel storage.

Amy Hewes’ opinion piece in the Feb. 22 New Times (“A pact with the devil”) asserted that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is allowing highlevel spent nuclear fuel to be transported in “thin-walled welded stainless steel canisters designed to withstand a crash at 30 miles per hour.” She asks, “ … would they hold up in a calamity at 80 miles per hour?”

First, I’m not aware of any change in transportation standards for spent nuclear fuel that stipulates spent-fuel transportation casks crash standards have been lowered to a 30 mph design test. Sandia National Labs conducted fullscale crash tests 40 years ago for spent fuel casks that included the following: a broadside strike by a (rocket-powered) freight train traveling in excess of 80 mph (no leakage); a diesel locomotive on a rocket sled propelling a cask end-first into a concrete bunker in excess of 60 mph (no leakage); dropping a cask end-on from a crane and then placing the cask into a pool of burning jet fuel for more than 35 minutes (1475 degrees) with no leakage.

Casks are designed to withstand deep ocean submergence and also have tracking devices for recovery embedded within. I’m aware of one cask transportation incident in 1971, again, no leakage or danger to the public. More than 3,000 transports of Type B casks have occurred globally without any incident posing a danger to the public.

The largest of these casks can weigh up to 110 tons, cost more than $1 million each, are heavily guarded, and have been upgraded and successfully tested in 2013 to withstand a direct strike from military ordnance and a crashing aircraft. You can view the Sandia National Laboratory tests on YouTube, which are quite spectacular.

All of this information is readily available on the internet.

Silence is a form of manipulation

Manipulate is defined as: handle, control in a skillful manner; control or influence a person or situation cleverly, unfairly, or unscrupulously.

We recognize manipulative behavior, and we know we don’t like it.

We don’t like it in potential mates, family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, employers, co-workers, teachers, coaches, clergy, medical professionals, and we especially don’t like it in our government, our politicians, and the press.

But when they tell us what we want to hear ... we tend to accept it.

Manipulation is the precursor for all abuse.

Vote for Lynn

When our 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton discovered that nearly $11 million in development impact fees generated in her district had been plundered over the years for projects outside of her district, she has become the target of two of the supervisors responsible for diverting those funds: Adam Hill and Bruce Gibson, and the opponent they put up to run against her.

That she was able to prevail on the board to allocate $1.5 million to South County parks—a mere fraction of the funds that should have gone to the South County—was to her great credit. Not only is that funding being used for a much-needed skateboard park on the Mesa, the funds are assisting in the restoration of the historic Dana Adobe.

And she has pledged to fight for more funding to make up for the monies diverted to other districts.

Keep up the good work, Lynn! You definitely deserve a second term.

Destigmatize and serve

Sadly, our “happiest place” is only one alienated, distraught person away from the tragic shootings like those in Sandy Hook, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Parkland.

Since significant actions aren’t happening at the federal level, we need to look to our community for solutions.

What can we do? Importantly, we can strengthen the network of mental health services available across our county.

Destigmatizing mental health problems, expanding resources in our schools, and providing no-cost and sliding-fee professional counseling offer real hope.

Thankfully, Community Counseling Center of San Luis Obispo County (CCC) addresses all three needs.

Celebrating 50 years of service, CCC’s proven programs engage volunteer mental health professionals. Last year it served more than 2,000 people in our county. Yet, surveys indicate that an estimated 20,000 people in our county need counseling help. With funding for an expanded hub in San Luis Obispo and LETTERS continued page 15

Ready for that marine sanctuary?

R

ichard Charter is a smart guy.

He’s one of those people who can break down both scientific and legal language into plain English you can understand. From his perch as senior fellow at The Ocean Foundation, he uses those skills “to spread the word about how best to achieve constructive social change on behalf of our environment.”

And he has achieved quite a lot of that. He’s worked with indigenous people in Alaska to secure an oil drilling prohibition in Bristol Bay. He helped to establish the national moratorium on offshore oil drilling for the 27 years that it lasted, and he was a force behind the network of national marine sanctuaries that brought permanent protection from offshore oil for a large portion (not, alas, including our portion) of the California Coast.

On Feb. 2, 2017, months before the Trump administration revealed its big plans for our coastal waters, Charter wrote to the SLO County Board of Supervisors to inform them that they faced “the very real prospect of new federal oil and gas leasing off of the San Luis Obispo coastline, and it is vitally important for your board to operate predicated upon accurate information rather than based on those who may try to utilize erroneous rumor and inaccurate innuendo in an effort to trigger unfounded fears about things that have never happened in marine sanctuaries elsewhere.”

He urged the supervisors to seize “this unique opportunity to eventually secure permanent oil and gas protections for your coast.”

The opportunity was the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary. But the erroneous rumors and inaccurate innuendo were thick on the ground. The board majority went with the rumors, innuendos, and fears and voted against seizing the opportunity (and then launched on their stellar career of voting down affordable housing, rejecting locally generated clean energy, failing to lodge a formal objection to the Trump administration’s five-year offshore oil and gas leasing plan that includes the entire California coast, etc.).

Many of the arguments from the Department of Things That Have Never Happened in Marine Sanctuaries, which swayed three of our supervisors (We’ve got enough regulations! Jackbooted federal thugs will come here and take over! We’ll lose local control!), came from people who don’t know what national marine sanctuaries are or how they work. That’s why events like the one happening on March 17 at Cal Poly’s Chumash Auditorium—Now More Than Ever: The Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary—are like a gentle spring rain of corrective information.

Joining Violet Cavanaugh from the Northern Chumash Tribal Council will be Dan Haifley from Santa Cruz, another father of the Monterey Bay sanctuary

stop burning up fossil fuels. Petroleum and other mineral resources should be used sparingly. They are finite; they are incredibly valuable and impossible to replace for many products we depend on, such as plastics, solvents, and base chemicals for millions of things, many of which are much more important to humans than any one type of convenient energy. Just lazily burning it is wasteful, the opposite of conservative.

and longtime foe of offshore drilling.

Coming up from Santa Barbara will be Holly Lohuis, a marine biologist and educator with Ocean Futures Society who has been diving the world’s oceans with Jean-Michel Cousteau and his team since 1996. And coming in from Cambria will be P.J. Webb, chair of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s advisory council. They will be discussing factbased verifiable history and information, like this (take it away, National Marine Sanctuary Foundation): “America’s National Marine Sanctuary System consists of 13 national marine sanctuaries and two marine national monuments. These sites conserve some of the nation’s most critical natural, historic, and cultural resources … . They generate $8 billion annually in local economies and support numerous jobs and businesses in the fishing, tourism, recreation, and scientific research sectors. They are home to millions of species, preserve our nation’s maritime heritage, and promote public access for exploration and worldclass outdoor recreation and enjoyment for future generations. Sanctuary visitor centers, vessels, and facilities are key assets for communities; stimulate public-private partnerships on emerging technologies, cutting-edge science, and hands on education; and attract millions of visitors to the coasts each year.”

The Sierra Club worked with the Chumash, Surfrider, ECOSLO, and coastal advocates on the multi-year

process that produced a nomination document for the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary, which passed muster at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and is now in the inventory of nominated areas.

Then came Trump and his all-out war on the environment and public lands, terrestrial and marine.

But take heart: Trump’s offshore oil project is not the only five-year plan in the federal government. Last September, NOAA released “Our Vision for America’s Treasured Ocean Places: A Five-Year Strategy for the National Marine Sanctuary System.” It contains key objectives to “work with tribal and indigenous cultural leaders to help protect their resources, properties, and practices in existing and potential sanctuaries,” and “coordinate with NOAA leadership on the initiation of the designation process for additional sites on the sanctuary nomination inventory.”

Street talk Social media sound off New Times readers took to Facebook to share their thoughts about our March 1 story, “Local students organize to participate in National School Walkout Day on March 14.”

Instead of saving lives, politics is despicable The recent tragic school shooting was bad enough, but to hear that an armed deputy failed to intervene and possibly save the lives of young people is tragic.

It was an act of despicable cowardice.

But what about Congress and the president? They could intervene on the next one and save lives, and they are armed with the authority of law. But fearful of special interests, they are afraid to do so, therefore they are just as cowardly as the deputy. In fact, they are even more cowardly than the deputy because at least he feared for his life, which we all can understand, while all they care about is their jobs. Because of their cowardice, many more will die.

They are worse than despicable.

Opinion Drill, Donnie, drill!

E

ver since illustrious 45th Prez tRump threatened to open California to new offshore oil drilling, a whole chorus of “NOPE” has been ringing across the state.

Gov. Jerry Brown, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Controller Betty Yee, state Attorney General Xavier Becerra, state Finance Director Michael Cohen, and many other state officials have all clearly condemned the idea. The California Coastal Commission said it would refuse to permit the onshore infrastructure needed to support new offshore platforms. Even before Trump’s announcements, polls showed that 69 percent of Californians oppose more offshore drilling, and hundreds gathered at a Feb. 8 rally in Sacramento to protest the idea. Plenty of small community leaders also chimed in, sending sharply worded letters to Trump’s Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

You know who didn’t chime in? The SLO County Board of Supervisors.

Why? Because the conservative majority believes SLO County already made its feelings about offshore drilling known in 1986 with Measure A, a local ballot item that said a majority of voters must approve any “development, construction, installation, or expansion of any onshore support facility.”

See? Done and done! No need to reiterate that SLO County isn’t interested in your ugly-ass oil platforms and wildlife

The Shredder

killing oil spills, Trumpster!

“We’ve gone through this, and I still feel the letter we sent is still as strong as it was when we sent it,” 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold said of the county’s 1986 notice. “This county is strongly opposed to offshore drilling and cited the voters’ Measure A. That’s the most powerful tool that we have for the people to be able to speak and have our voice on this issue. I just want to stick with that. We’ve talked about this several times, almost every meeting now.”

Well, talk is cheap, Debbie. So is SLO County letterhead.

Let’s think about this a second. If Arnold and her conservative cronies—1st District Supervisor John Peschong and 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton—really believe voters are against new offshore drilling, why not make it crystal clear by reminding Trump and Zinke? What’s the possible harm in sending another letter confirming we’re dead-set against it … unless they’re keeping a backdoor open to Trump’s deep drilling overtures?

“Mmm, Donnie. Get that oil! Get it!”

Let’s also remember that 1986 was ages ago! Back then Trump was still married to the first of his three wives, Ivana Trump, and was a liberal real estate developer rebuilding Wollman Skating

Rink in NYC’s Central Park as a good will gesture. By 1987, he was telling talk show host Larry King that he’s “a Republican,” and more importantly, “I don’t want to be president.” Ah, the good old days.

Dear SLO County Supes, I’d feel much better if you big business suck-ups would write a freaking letter telling Trump he can keep his drill in his pants and that you’re supporting the will of your constituents even though you personally would love to see California’s coastal waters littered with oil platforms. Hmm? Maybe you guys are too busy coming up with creative ways to pay Dairy Creek’s bills, eh? The failed golf course is bleeding about half a million bucks a year ever since its California Men’s Colony gray water source dried up.

The county is proposing partnering with the Cal Poly Golf Team to keep the driving range and back nine open, making the facility the team’s official practice space. Cool, sounds legit, but the county is also proposing an 18-hole miniature golf course, which can be expanded to 36 holes in case duffers can’t get enough of putting balls through windmills and clown mouths. Oh yeah, and also an electric go-cart track.

That’s it? Put on your thinking caps, supes! No arcade? Laser tag? Bumper boats? Batting cages? Look out Boomers! of Santa Maria, Camelot Park of Bakersfield, and Golf N’ Stuff of Ventura—SLO County’s on the family fun map! I’m sure real golfers will love heading to the clubhouse and rubbing

shoulders with all the snot-covered kids, hopped up on sugary drinks and fresh off the mini golf course.

“How’d you shoot out there today, kid?”

“Great, grandpa! I’m a scratch golfer on the front 18, but that volcano hole always gives me trouble.”

Hey, I don’t know if SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow is a golfer, but after the next election, he may have plenty of time to take it up.

“Why are we here?” Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Timothy Staffel dourly asked prosecutors from Dow’s office in relation to the felony conflict-of-interest case the DA brought against John Wallace, former CEO of the engineering firm the Wallace Group. Dow accused Wallace of funneling work to his private company while he worked for the South County Sanitation District and the Avila Beach Community Services District.

While Staffel did find some wrongdoing, he clearly thought Dow’s case was gross overreach. Dow’s challenger in the next election, retired Stanislaus County Judge Mike Cummins, argued that Dow “doesn’t have the skills and experience to properly evaluate cases,” and that he’s been “a very poor district attorney.”

Dow’s blown cases are certainly stacking up! Hey Dan, maybe you and SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson can hit the links together. ∆ The Shredder believes trepanning Trump is the only drilling we need. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Artifacts Twist!

BY RYAH COOLEY

Feminine mystique

Women are front and center at the La Femme art show, currently on display at Art Central in San Luis Obispo.

The exhibit runs through April 3 and features the work of student artists from San Luis Obispo High School. As the media exploded with stories about allegations, assault, and inequality, it forced student artists to ask, “What does it mean to be a women in our society today?” Each student has taken their own interpretation of the importance of women.

Some simply highlighted the female form, others created controversial works that speak to student-perceived injustices.

Proceeds from the show will go to the Women’s Shelter in SLO. Visit the La Femme event page on Facebook for more information.

Neither here nor there SLO Repertory Theatre brings a staged reading of The Other Place to downtown SLO on March 16 and 17.

Just as Juliana Smithton’s research leads to a potential breakthrough, her life takes a disorienting turn. During a lecture to colleagues at an exclusive beach resort, she glimpses an enigmatic young woman in a yellow bikini amid the crowd of business suits.

One step at a time, a mystery unravels as contradictory evidence, blurred truth, and fragmented memories collide in a cottage on the windswept shores of Cape Cod. The show runs Friday at 7 p.m. and at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $15 per person. Visit slorep.org for more information.

AG native’s film, My Girlfriend’s Gay Friend, screens at SLO Film Fest

J

ealousy is often anything but logical. It’s a concept that Chris Reinacher, formerly of Buzzfeed Video, thought would be interesting to poke fun at.

The Arroyo Grande native teamed up with a group of his friends to produce, My Girlfriend’s Gay Friend, a short film that will screen at the San Luis Obispo Film Festival on March 16 and 17. The description on the festival’s website reads simply, “A man’s tolerance is challenged by his girlfriend’s omnipresent gay best friend.”

“Great!” I thought to myself, “I bet this film will tackle straight men’s discomfort with gay men in a positive, productive way.”

The short answer is kinda. The longer answer is that My Girlfriend’s Gay Friend is not the film you think it is, in the most unexpectedly delightful way.

The writer/actor/content creator fi rst got bit by the drama bug at Judkins Middle School and grew up making videos with his friends after school. Reinacher went on to graduate from Arroyo Grande High School and then studied theater, fi lm, and television at UCLA. After churning out a ton of videos for Buzzfeed, Reinacher decided to do his own thing, making funny videos on his YouTube channel about content creation and collaborating with friends on projects.

With more time on his hands, Reinacher and buddy/co-producer Jordan Dunn decided to work on a sketch that turned into My Girlfriend’s Gay Friend.

“We had this idea just lying around,” Reinacher said. “We thought it was funny to start a sketch in a totally different genre.”

The seven-minute long short fi lm starts with Jared (played by Dunn) having breakfast with his girlfriend Tina, talking with her about how it’s normal for straight

VIDEO STAR After working at Buzzfeed Video, Chris Reinacher, who grew up in Arroyo Grande, focused on his own YouTube channel and projects like My Girlfriend’s Gay Friend.

dudes to feel uncomfortable or jealous of their girlfriend’s gay friends (all his bros agree!).

While Tina tries to reassure Jared, Mike, the gay friend, bursts into the room in his underwear. As Jared leaves to go play racket ball with a friend, Mike fl irtatiously feeds Tina a sausage as they fi nish breakfast.

Things only escalate from there as Jared’s paranoia increases. At the height of the fi lm’s tension, a dramatic twist takes things from a relatable rom-com to more of a psycho thriller. All is not what it seems.

“It’s a relatable relationship that gets turned on its head,” Reinacher said. “It’s a sketch that gets turned into a short film in the middle.”

While the film has already shown at the Mammoth Film Festival, it’s also up on Reinacher’s YouTube channel, where it’s pulled in some 336,221 views to date.

“I definitely think it’s funny when straight guys identify with that guy,” Reinacher said of

Let’s all go to the movies The SLO Film Festival will show My Girlfriend’s Gay Friend, produced by Arroyo Grande native Chris Reinacher, on March 16 at 9 p.m. at Downtown Centre Cinemas and March 17 at 1 p.m. at the Palm Theatre. The short film can also been seen on Reinacher’s YouTube channel. The entire festival runs from March 13 to 18. Visit slofilmfest.org.

Dunn’s character. “It is in a way relatable and un-talked about.”

For young aspiring filmmakers on the Central Coast, Reinacher recommends pursing passion sooner, rather than later.

“Make it for fun,” he said. “I’m a big proponent of just making it. There’s so much technology. You have an amazing camera in your hand and then you can put it on the Internet and have an audience.” Δ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley didn’t see that coming at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Learn the historic art of Shibori dyeing at a workshop at The Bunker in SLO March 18 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Shibori dyeing is a pattern making process that is fun and creates beautiful, dramatic textiles for use in fashion and home décor. Learn this technique using indigo, a natural blue dye, to turn four white napkins into pieces of art. Students will learn five tying techniques that create unique patterns, focusing on folded, tied, and clamp resist.

They will also learn how to prepare the dye vat, complete the dyeing process, and turn their napkins into other pieces of art such as accent pillows, wall hangings, and framed art. The cost is $60 per person and includes materials. Visit thebunkerslo.com to sign up. Δ —Ryah Cooley

The gallery had its first event March 2 at Daane Chesnut’s home in the Edna Valley area. Amid sips of wine and nibbles of scrumptious bites, guests looked at the work of out-of-area artists and locals like Daane Chesnut, Carol Paquet, and Tracey Sylvester. Some of the artists even attend the pop-up events in person.

“So they get the connection with the people looking to buy their work, the people get to meet the artist,” she said.

“I think it makes it warmer and more interesting if you get to meet the person who created it.”

F

rancis Lawrence (Constantine, I Am Legend, Water for Elephants, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) directs Justin Haythe’s (The Clearing, Revolutionary Road, The Lone Ranger, The Cure for Wellness) script based on ex-spook Jason Matthews’ book about ballerina Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence), who’s recruited into the Russian “Sparrow School,” which trains spies. The target of her first mission, CIA Agent Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton), turns out to be more complicated than she could have imagined. (139 min.)

Glen Taking on a female James Bondesque role seems to be a rite of passage for Hollywood leading ladies. Think Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde (2017) or Angelina Jolie in Salt (2010), where they got to look sexy and kick ass. I guess it was Lawrence’s turn. Dominika is a prima ballerina with the famed Bolshoi ballet company, but an “accident” ends her career, imperiling her lifestyle: a comfortable apartment provided by the Bolshoi and medical treatments for her ailing mother, Nina (Joely Richardson).

Manipulated by her uncle Vanya (Matthias Schoenaerts), a Russian “security” official, to seduce a Russian oligarch in exchange for keeping her apartment and health care for her mother, Dominika is quickly swept up into Vanya’s corrupt world and given a choice: become a sparrow or die. It turns out Dominika is a natural at this spy stuff, referring to sparrow training as “slut school” and PLAYED OR PLAYER? CIA agent Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton) has a mole in Russian intelligence, but can he keep it a secret?

learning to manipulate those around her. Watching a film about a person’s corruption turns out to be a lot less fun than you’d think. Russia is depressing as hell, the collectivist state is powermad and soulless, and whatever redeeming qualities Dominika started with disappear, leaving viewers with a protagonist who’s hard to care about.

Anna I wasn’t particularly looking forward to this film; the trailer left me feeling less than hopeful as far as storyline goes and annoyed by Lawrence’s Russian accent. While her accent proved to be fine in the film, my guess that I’d be disappointed by this spy thriller was spot on. It seems that the utmost skill a sparrow must have is beauty, and their assignments are to manipulate victims whenever needed. It isn’t my favorite concept, and I thought the execution was pretty boring. While Lawrence is eye candy on the screen, the rather wooden and underdeveloped Dominika character is neither captivating nor particularly relatable. The film just never seemed to launch for me, and at almost two hours and 20 minutes, it was a long slog that I was glad to be done with. I do enjoy a good spy thriller as well as a strong female lead, but Red Sparrow failed to hit the mark with me, and judging by its reviews so far, I’m not the only one.

Glen Lawrence just feels flat in this performance. Who is Dominika? What motivates her? Is it simply survival? I don’t know, and I’m not sure Lawrence figured it out either. If her only motivation is helping her mother, is it worth selling your soul to the Russian state? The whole film is shrouded in a somber, depressing veneer.

It’s joyless. James Bond films are fun

SEDUCTRESS Russian ballerina Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence) becomes a sparrow, a spy trained to seduce and manipulate her targets.

because they know they’re a ridiculous fantasy, but Red Sparrow doesn’t know how to lighten up or even slyly wink at itself. At least Atomic Blonde had the good sense to dive headfirst into the neon and synthesizer glitz of its ’80s milieu.

Red Sparrow tastes like prison gruel, not entertainment. We’re supposed to be rooting for Dominika to find a way out of her mess and take her life back, but instead she digs more deeply into her corrupt world. Soon it feels like her life isn’t worth saving—who would want to live a life of lies, torture, and mistrust?

There’s also a decided lack of chemistry between Lawrence and her costar Edgerton. I know Lawrence has become a huge star with two big franchises (X-Men and The Hunger Games) under her belt, and I applaud her taking on roles in smaller (Joy) or experimental (Mother!) films, but she seems to shine brightest in roles where she’s a vulnerable but independent woman (Winter’s Bone and Silver Linings Playbook) who rises above her circumstances. In Red Sparrow, instead of rising above a corrupt world, Lawrence’s Dominika simply becomes the most corrupt.

Anna She seems to be playing a game of cat and mouse with everyone around

ANNIHILATION What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Stadium 10 Writer-director Alex Garland (Ex Machina) helms this story based on Jeff VanderMeer’s novel about a team of soldiers who enter into a mysterious and expanding energy curtain, from which nothing has yet returned, including drones and other soldiers. Only one soldier, Kane (Oscar Isaac), returns, but he’s badly injured and near death. His wife, Lena (Natalie Portman), a biologist with a military background, agrees to go back in hoping to discover how to save Kane.

Yes, there are moments of violence, gore, and horror, but this is a science-rich, thoughtfully constructed mind-bender of a story. (115 min.)

BLACK PANTHER What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre,

Sunset Drive-In, Stadium 10, Galaxy, Park Co-writer/director Ryan Coogler (Creed) helms this story about T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), a newly crowned king of the technologically advanced but isolationist country of Wakanda, who finds his new kinghood challenged by Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), a vengeful victim of T’Challa’s father’s past actions.

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

her. Why any of the characters put their trust in her, I can’t understand. Every twist and turn leaves someone on the losing end, and if the goal is to leave the film feeling that Dominika was triumphant, it fails. Every aspect of the characters and storyline is laced with melancholy and corruption; there’s no one I felt like rooting for. I agree that the chemistry between Edgerton and Lawrence was minimal at best, which is pretty disappointing as both have proven to be great performers alongside other counterparts. The film is a bleak, grinding journey with no silver lining to be had, no character likeable enough to root for, and uninteresting plot twists for the sake of plot twists. It feels almost like an excuse to let Lawrence play a mysterious sexpot, but I’d be much more impressed if they pulled off an interesting storyline as well. Unfortunately, this one just didn’t grab me, and I’d wait for it to pop up on a streaming service I already pay for rather than shell out any actual cash to watch it. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

of World War II to illustrate how British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Garry Oldman), orated Britain and its people out of surrendering to and into defiantly fighting Nazi Germany.

It’s Churchill’s commitment to the principles of his country and disdain for the moral atrocities of Nazism that compel him to push back against the momentum of a surrender. That’s what’s thrilling about this movie: the emotional battle between the convenience of giving up versus the profound consequences of that concession.

Willis is at his best playing a cocky and irreverent charmer, but here his Kersey is a downer. Revenge may be a dish best served cold but this feels like a reheated, lukewarm TV dinner. And of course this is simply bad timing. With gun violence in the news again, the film also feels tone deaf.

GAME NIGHT What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Galaxy, Park Co-directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Vacation, 2015) helm this Mark Perez (The Country Bears, 2002; Accepted, 2006) black comedy script about a group of friends who meet regularly for game night, but this time around, they encounter a real crime and unwittingly believe it’s a murder mystery they’re supposed to solve.

Game Night starts with the flashback meet-cute of Max and his now-wife Annie (Rachel McAdams, at her most charming).

They gather weekly with their best friends, married couple Kevin (Lamorne Morris)

and Michelle (Kylie Bunbury), and single lothario Ryan (Billy Magnussen) and his revolving bimbo du jour.

You certainly don’t have to see it on the big screen to appreciate it. If you’re a big comedy fan, maybe it’s worth it.

Pick

With Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, we see an old game through new lenses. In present day, we have a group of four archetypal teenagers.

You know, similar to The Breakfast Club.

You’ve got the nerd Spencer (Alex Wolff), his former best friend turned jock Fridge (Ser’ Darius Blain), a self-absorbed popular Bethany (Madison Iseman), and smart girl Martha (Morgan Turner) who’s a little salty about her peers. The crew gets detention and that’s where the unlikely group finds Jumanji (this time in video game form).

They decide to ditch their task to play it.

Once the game is plugged in and rebooting, the kids are sucked into the console, entering into the Jumanji world. But there’s a catch: They have assumed the bodies of their avatars.

This film does what many remakes fail to do, which is successfully entertain its audience. I wasn’t quite sure how this would go walking into the theater. But these actors did a hilarious job delivering as prepubescent teenagers in way over their heads. I was laughing nonstop

throughout the film. (112 min.)

Her life takes a turn when she and Zelda are called into a room to clean up a bloody mess created by “the asset” (Doug Jones), at least that’s what the scientists and government officials are calling it. The asset is a scaled creature from South Africa that now resides in a water tank against its will. Elisa is drawn to the creature, maybe because she too is an outsider in the world that she lives in. She forms a bond with the creature that feels more like love than friendship. But her days of sharing hardboiled eggs for lunch and listening to her vinyl record player are numbered; the very fate of the creature is on the line.

of Grand Saline to protest racism perpetrated against black Americans.

The documentary mainly consists of interviews with Grand Saline residents as well as Moore’s friends and family, but is interspersed with re-enactment footage of the moments leading up to Moore’s horrific death by self-immolation in a parking lot. What we learn from the film is that the retired minister had long been a passionate proponent of racial equality and chose to kill himself to bring attention to the past sins of the town, which he felt had not properly atoned for its racist past.

The film, directed by Joel Fendelman, attempts to unpack not only the story behind Moore’s death, but paints a portrait of the town he singled out. Grand Saline is a small town, and much of the film focuses on asking its residents to try and untangle fact from fiction when it comes to its past and present treatment of people of color.

Some say the town has a long and storied history of racism, including keeping black Americans out of the city and even hanging them, while others question the veracity of such claims, which were the basis for Moore’s very public act. Whatever side they end up on, it is very clear that many in Grand Saline are uncomfortable with the publicity Moore’s death brought to their little town, and even more uncomfortable talking about the issue of race and racism and what role it may or may not have played in its history.

Regardless of how you feel about Moore’s death, one can’t help but see the

DEALER Daniel Craig plays a suave and savvy cocaine dealer in Matthew Vaughn’s Layer Cake (2004). The role eventually caught the eye of Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, who cast Craig as James Bond because of it.

Forest and flowing into the Pacific Ocean via Humboldt County, the Eel River watershed and its rich natural resources supported Native American communities before European settlers arrived and industrialized it for salmon and timber in the late 19th century. Using an eclectic mix of interview subjects and historical material, Anderson chronicles the exploits of the river basin over time and how that hurt the salmon population and generally disrupted the river’s ecological balance.

A wake-up call from Mother Earth arrived in 1964 with epic rains and floods that, because of the extensive redwood clearcutting taking place in the watershed area, decimated riverside towns, infrastructure, and industries, and continued to affect the area’s ecology.

Despite those impacts and others like the installation of the Pottery Valley dam, which diverts Eel River water to the Russian River to aid wine country growth; the cannabis “green rush”; and the 2011 to 2016 drought, Anderson shows how the river and its inhabitants still persist—but not without many painful sacrifices.

By tracking its history and history’s lessons, A River’s Last Chance tees up a challenge for the future: to live within the Eel River watershed more sustainably.

Cannabis farmers, loggers, and state officials mulling the relicensing of the dam are all called out in the film as holding the health of the Eel River in their hands.

At a little more than an hour long, this documentary never drags, yet still offers tons of interesting insight from its informed subjects, ranging from biologists to politicians to cannabis growers. (67 min.) Δ —Peter Johnson

BLAST FROM THE Layer Cake a try.

Indeed, while most of the story revolves around dark and gritty subject matter, splashes of humor help keep the wheels turning. In one scene, Craig is confronted over the phone by an Eastern European assassin (only known here by the fantastic name of Dragan) attempting to recover stolen drugs and money.

The man is a known killer and had just murdered someone near Craig in the previous scene.

“I’ve got an idea,” Craig says to Dragan. “Why don’t you come ’round for breakfast? I’ll squeeze some orange juice and grind some coffee and we can talk about this like adults. How’s that sound?”

“Sounds very hospitable,” the assassin responds.

“Do you know where I live?” Craig asks.

“No,” Dragan responds.

“Well, fuck off then,” Craig says before hanging up.

The film unfolds slowly but is punctuated by moments of intense violence and suspense. Cap in some outstanding performances from Craig; an underused Tom Hardy as his right-hand man; Jamie Foreman as a loose cannon, low-level drug dealer trying to make a big score; and Kenneth Cranham as the all-powerful kingpin lording over London’s underground, and you have one of the best crime films of the past two decades.

LOVE HIS WAY The Psychedelic Furs with original frontman Richard Butler bring their one-of-a-kind sound to the Fremont Theater on March 9.

’80s flashback!

The Psychedelic Furs play the Fremont Theater

“C

aroline laughs and it’s raining all day/ She loves to be one of the girls/ She lives in the place in the side of our lives/ Where nothing is ever put straight/ She turns herself ’round and she smiles and she says/ ‘This is it, that’s the end of the joke’/ And loses herself in her dreaming and sleep/ And her lovers walk through in their coats// She’s pretty in pink/ Isn’t she?/ Pretty in pink/ Isn’t she?”

Few bands can bring back the feeling of the ’80s with the ferocity of The Psychedelic Furs, an English rock band that formed in 1977 and came to the heights of their power during MTV’s heyday. Formed by the huskyvoiced Richard Butler with his brother Tim on bass, they developed in the British post-punk scene and scored hits like “Pretty In Pink,” which inspired John Hughes’ fi lm of the same name, “Love My Way,” “Heaven,” “The Ghost in You,” and others.

This Friday, March 9, The Psychedelic Furs play the Fremont Theater (8 p.m.; $37 at eventbrite and Boo Boo’s), with opening act Mia Dyson.

The Furs’ origin story is a real pullyourself-up-by-your-bootstraps thing. Butler was a college art student who decided he wanted to pursue music, even though he didn’t know much about it. It was sheer force of will and an undeniably original streak of creativity that landed the band’s early recordings on BBC disc jockey John Peel’s show, where he called the Furs’ first dirge-like songs “beautiful chaos.”

Though their records didn’t sell as well as many critics expected, the band was a darling of college radio and enjoyed

a rabid cult following through the ’80s.

They eventually disbanded in 1992, and Butler formed Love Split Love with Richard Fortus and Frank Ferrer (who both later joined Guns N’ Roses). Butler re-formed the Furs in 2000 and has been touring regularly ever since. Most recently, their song “Love My Way” was featured in the Oscar-nominated film Call Me By Your Name.

The Psychedelic Furs touring lineup includes founding members Richard Butler (vocals) and Tim Butler (bass), with Rich Good (guitar), Mars Williams (saxophone), Amanda Kramer (keyboards), and Paul Garisto (drums).

Should be a fun flashback! Australian singer-songwriter Mia Dyson promises to be a worthy opening act. Her most recent album, If I Said Only So Far I Take It Back, is filled with moody rockers—a perfect accompaniment to the Furs.

Also at the Fremont Theater this week is Bay Area rapper Andre Nickatina on Saturday, March 10 (9 p.m.; all ages; $22 at eventbrite.com or Boo Boo’s).

Billed as Andre’s Birthday Bash, the show celebrates a hip-hop luminary who was born and raised in the Fillmore District of San Francisco and exploded onto the scene in 1993 with his debut The New Jim Jones. His reign has continued with a total of 18 albums.

A couple of more shows at the Fremont that may sell out are John Hiatt and The Goners on Monday, March 19, and George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic on Friday, March 30. You may want to get on those ASAP. Check it out at fremontslo.com.

Cider

BY HAYLEY THOMAS CAIN PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM

These broads know cider Taste SLO’s newest (most modern) hard cider yet

S

ome drinks are best served slightly chilled with a rim of salt. Some drinks are best served with a slice of orange peel and a single, round ice cube. Some drinks are best served from a labelless bottle and a lot of laughter in a drafty warehouse where you can nearly see your breath.

You can guess which pertains to Two Broads Cider, owned by Morgan Murphy and Maggie Przybylski.

Good thing good cider has a way of warming even the chilliest of February nights.

Between sips of Bearded Queen—a dryhopped hard cider named as an homage to SLO’s burgeoning drag community—I heard tales of oceanic romance, declarations of creative independence, and thoughts on the ever-cresting “cider wave” splashing across SLO County and the West Coast.

You could blame the tingly-tangy sensation of alcoholic cider swimming in my gut, but as I left that warehouse— GOLDEN GLOBES When it comes to crafting refreshing, neversweet cider, you don’t need to look far. Two Broads Cider uses local SLO County apples whenever possible, especially fruit sourced from the fertile See Canyon area.

H AYLEY’S BITES SOOTHING ESCAPES All that glitters: Sea glass enthusiasts from near and far travel to the quaint beach town of Cayucos every spring for The Cayucos Sea Glass Festival March 9 through 11. Locals can also enjoy the weekend of artisan foods and goods, fun in the sun, live music, and of course an extensive marketplace of the finest sea glass art (for more information, go to cayucosseaglass.com) … This March 11, Allegretto Vineyard Resort will host a Balance, Bubbles, and Brunch event in the hotel’s Frenchinspired Abbey. Rediscover your hidden harmony during a 60-minute yoga

Two Broads Cider is located at 3427 Roberto Court, suite 130, in San Luis Obispo. The ciderworks is slated to be open to the public by late summer 2018. To learn more, call (805) 400-3057. Tasting is by appointment only. For more information, go to twobroadscider.com.

located off Orcutt Road in an industrial park not far from Bang the Drum Brewing Co.—I felt totally refreshed, maybe even invigorated.

This is the effect of Two Broads Ciderworks.

Przybylski and Murphy don’t just give you something stimulating to drink. They have a way of stimulating your heart and mind, too.

These broads know how to live a little.

Parked among the silvery tanks and cidermaking gear, I spy a forklift adorned with a handmade “just married” sign.

Flanked by dangling cider cans from near and far, this is my first clue that Two Broads Ciderworks is far from an average business.

It has been a long-awaited, hard-fought dream.

The couple wed two years ago, after about 15 years of romance. It’s a story so dreamy it’s slightly unreal—not unlike their cider, which, with its smooth, low carbonation and deep complexity of flavor, has a way of tricking you into thinking you’re drinking a really nice chilled, aromatic white wine.

The two Cal Poly grads met while enrolled in the now defunct Quarter at Sea program, which took the pair by boat to far-flung lands like China and Guam.

“I seduced her immediately,” says Przybylski, who was studying biology at the time and went on to become an environmental scientist focusing on the Oceano Dunes. The couple settled in SLO, which was quite a different scene in the early 2000s. Murphy, a computer science major, is now a software engineer for Amazon.

Throughout the years, Murphy tinkered with home brewing beer and eventually began moving on to small batches of cider.

“One year, we went on a little road trip to See Canyon, drove up there in the fall. It session led by wellness counselor and yoga retreat leader Lauren Shannon followed by beautifully crafted mimosas and a delectable brunch masterfully prepared by Cello Ristorante & Bar (for more information, go to slocal.com).

LIBATIONS FOR ALL Unicorn beer? It’s real! Nearly 18 years after the release of the original Firestone Lager, Firestone Walker Brewing Company is bringing it back—new and improved! The folks at Firestone call it the “unicorn beer” because it offers the same easy-drinking attributes of mass domestic lager, but with pure craft quality and an all-malt pedigree (Firestone Lager is now available at all Firestone Walker locations, and is rolling out this week across the

MEET THE BROADS From left, Morgan Murphy and Maggie Przybylski of Two Broads Ciderworks are making dry, crisp hard ciders in an industrial neighborhood near Broad Street in San Luis Obispo. For the co-founders, working together is a dream come true (note the “just married” sign hanging from their shared forklift, adorned with favorite cider cans).

became this tradition to go get apples, make pies, make apple butter, and I would press the juice and I’d make cider,” Murphy says.

“We got addicted to the heirloom apples!”

That addiction has manifested into a zillion hard cider recipes and a few tried and true winners, brewed in 500-gallon batches. You can now find these wellcrafted elixirs on tap at Novo, 7 Sisters Brewing Co., and Luna Red in SLO. It’s sophisticated cider, a combination of traditional, heritage style hard cider freshened by a totally modern approach.

In other words, it’s not all sweet and it’s not all bite.

That hopped Bearded Queen cider?

It is made with Braeburn and Granny Smith fruit from SLO County fermented to dryness, then judiciously hopped with Citra and Nelson Sauvin. I could smell craft beer-like traits of energizing citrus, mango, black pepper, and gooseberry in my wine glass, which managed to both confuse and please my senses.

As the gals are known to say with flat, dry humor: “The Gala Agenda isn’t dangerous,

it’s delicious.” Get it? This dry, refreshing cider is made from Santa Barbara-area gala apples and shows notes of stone fruit, citrus, and light spice. Like a boutique white wine, it made me think of all the warm spring days ahead and what I’d want to pack for a day at Montaña de Oro. The Kumquat May (remember that tear-jerker of a ballad “Come what May” from Moulin Rouge?) is a tart, dry, fruitycitrusy minx, with a mix of SLO and Santa Barbara apples co-fermented with organic kumquats. You have to taste it to understand its rebellious, fierce flavor.

“We always knew we wanted to open up a restaurant or a brewery, but there’s already so much good beer around here, and the weather is so great for growing apples,” says Murphy, who does the cidermaking (her wife tackles the marketing and business matters). “SLO already has this amazing history as an heirloom apple region.”

With local apples ready for the pressing, all they needed was a home. About two

Extend an olive branch Is your olive oil top notch? Think your buttery bounty has what it takes to beat out the other branches on the block? The Central Coast Olive Oil Competition, hosted annually by the California Mid-State Fair and in partnership with the Lodi Grape Festival, is now accepting entries for all the good, golden stuff you can crank out.

The 10th annual showdown will feature more than 100 olive oils produced all over California, so bring only your best bottles for drizzling and dunking. Olive oils are separated into four categories: extra virgin, flavored extra virgin, organic extra virgin, and flavored organic extra virgin olive oil.

The categories are then separated into classes by variety. Take note: Your oil will be evaluated according to a long list of important attributes: aroma, taste, and intensity (ranging from delicate to grassy to robust to peppery). The judges have come from near and far and include Arden Kremer, Paul Vossen, Brigit Binns, Franco Dunn, Fran Gage, John Hadley, Lawrence Jacobs, Michael Laukert, Nancy Lilly, Julie Menge, and Sandy Sonnefelt (judges are qualified based on their experience in using olive oil in cooking, education, and production). Ready to compete? Sign up for early bird registration at a discounted rate through March 23. Award winners will be showcased during the 2018 California Mid-State Fair, July 18 through 29, and at the 2018 Lodi Grape Festival, from Sept.

@flavorslo 13 through 16. Plus, bragging rights! Yes, it’s your time to shine, oily few! After all, you already know that all bread baskets, most artisanal vinegars, and pretty much any salad dressing under the sun would be nothing without good olive oil. Life (and that linguine) would be pretty sad without it.

Visit cmsfw.fairmanager.com for registration and information. Δ Hayley Thomas Cain loves a peppery EVOO any day of the week. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

FLAVOR from page 63

years ago, the pair found their perfect warehouse thanks to help from fellow SLOBs, a local home brewing club. The size of the space is ideal—about 2,200 square feet—and there are plans to create a tasting room, utilize a nearby creek for patio sipping, and expand into an adjacent bay when the time comes.

For now, tastings are by appointment only, and the gals have their work cut out for them. Even though it’s a work in progress, I can see the dream unfolding before my eyes.

“We thought, we could buy a house or we could try this,” Przybylski says of the big, wild leap. “We got married on a Monday in our kitchen because we didn’t want to spend the money.”

Adds Murphy, “True. I mean, our wedding present to ourselves was a forklift!” Δ Hayley Thomas Cain is now obsessed with kumquat. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: CONNIE J. DRAKE aka CONNIE JEAN DRAKE, CONNIE JEAN McBADE, CONNIE DRAKE, C.J. DRAKE and CONNIE JEAN COCHRAN A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by MICHAEL J. McBADE in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

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

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

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: APRIL 3, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm Street, Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

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

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

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

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

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): The men who work on offshore oil rigs perform demanding, dangerous tasks on a regular basis. If they make mistakes, they may get injured or befoul the sea with petroleum. As you might guess, the culture on these rigs has traditionally been macho, stoic, and hard-driving. But in recent years, that has changed at one company. Shell Oil’s workers in the U.S. were trained by Holocaust survivor Claire Nuer to talk about their feelings, be willing to admit errors, and soften their attitudes. As a result, the company’s safety record has improved dramatically. If macho dudes toiling on oil rigs can become more vulnerable and open and tenderly expressive, so can you, Aries. And now would be a propitious time to do it.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the 2002 film Spiderman, there’s a scene where the character Mary Jane slips on a spilled drink as she carries a tray full of food through a cafeteria. Spiderman, disguised as his alter ego Peter Parker, makes a miraculous save.

He jumps up from his chair and catches Mary Jane before she falls. Meanwhile, he grabs her tray and uses it to gracefully capture her apple, sandwich, carton of milk, and bowl of Jell-O before they hit the floor. The filmmakers say they didn’t use CGI to render this scene. The lead actor, Tobey Maguire, allegedly accomplished it in real life—although it took 156 takes before he finally mastered it. I hope you have that level of patient determination in the coming weeks, Libra. You, too, can perform a small miracle if you do.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

(April 20-May 20): How will you celebrate your upcoming climax and culmination, Taurus? With a howl of triumph, a fist pump, and three cartwheels? With a humble speech thanking everyone who helped you along the way? With a bottle of champagne, a gourmet feast, and spectacular sex? However you choose to mark this transition from one chapter of your life story to the next chapter, I suggest that you include an action that will help the next chapter get off to a rousing start. In your ritual of completion, plant seeds for the future.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot was a connoisseur of “the art of roughness” and “the uncontrolled element in life.” He liked to locate and study the hidden order in seemingly chaotic and messy things. “My life seemed to be a series of events and accidents,” he said.

“Yet when I look back I see a pattern.” I bring his perspective to your attention, Scorpio, because you are entering a phase when the hidden order and secret meanings of your life will emerge into view. Be alert for surprising hints of coherence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On April 23, 1516, the Germanic duchy of Bavaria issued a decree. From that day forward, all beer produced had to use just three ingredients: water, barley, and hops. Ever since then, for the last 500-plus years, this edict has had an enduring influence on how German beer is manufactured. In accordance with astrological factors, I suggest that you proclaim three equally potent and systemic directives of your own. It’s an opportune time to be clear and forceful about how you want your story to unfold in the coming years.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): What’s your most frustrating flaw? During the next seven weeks, you will have enhanced power to diminish its grip on you. It’s even possible you will partially correct it or outgrow it. To take maximum advantage of this opportunity, rise above any covert tendency you might have to cling to your familiar pain. Rebel against the attitude described by novelist Stephen King: “It’s hard to let go. Even when what you’re holding onto is full of thorns, it’s hard to let go. Maybe especially then.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In his book Whistling in the Dark, author Frederick Buechner writes that the ancient Druids took “a special interest in in-between things like mistletoe, which is neither quite a plant nor quite a tree, and mist, which is neither quite rain nor quite air, and dreams, which are neither quite waking nor quite sleep.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, in-between phenomena will be your specialty in the coming weeks. You will also thrive in relationship to anything that lives in two worlds or that has paradoxical qualities. I hope you’ll exult in the educational delights that come from your willingness to be teased and mystified.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The English word “velleity” refers to an empty wish that has no power behind it. If you feel a longing to make a pilgrimage to a holy site but can’t summon the motivation to actually do so, you are under the spell of velleity. Your fantasy of communicating with more flair and candor is a velleity if you never initiate the practical steps to accomplish that goal. Most of us suffer from this weakness at one time or another. But the good news, Virgo, is that you are primed to overcome your version of it during the next six weeks. Life will conspire to assist you if you resolve to turn your wishy-washy wishes into potent action plans—and then actually carry out those plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect that in July and August you will be invited to commune with rousing opportunities and exciting escapades. But right now I’m advising you to channel your intelligence into well-contained opportunities and sensible adventures. In fact, my projections suggest that your ability to capitalize fully on the future’s rousing opportunities and exciting escapades will depend on how well you master the current crop of well-contained opportunities and sensible adventures. Making the most of today’s small pleasures will qualify you to harvest bigger pleasures later.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you saw the animated film The Lion King, you may have been impressed with the authenticity of the lions’ roars and snarls. Did the producers place microphones in the vicinity of actual lions? No. Voice actor Frank Welker produced the sounds by growling and yelling into a metal garbage can. I propose this as a useful metaphor for you in the coming days. First, I hope it inspires you to generate a compelling and creative illusion of your own—an illusion that serves a good purpose. Second, I hope it alerts you to the possibility that other people will be offering you compelling and creative illusions—illusions that you should engage with only if they serve a good purpose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I do a lot of self-editing before I publish what I write. My horoscopes go through at least three drafts before I unleash them on the world. While polishing the manuscript of my first novel, I threw away more than a thousand pages of stuff that I had worked on very hard. In contrast to my approach, science fiction writer Harlan Ellison dashed off one of his award-winning stories in a single night, and published it without making any changes to the first draft. As you work in your own chosen field, Aquarius, I suspect that for the next three weeks you will produce the best results by being more like me than Ellison. Beginning about three weeks from now, an Ellison-style strategy might be more warranted.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): According to my assessment of the astrological omens, you’re in a favorable phase to gain more power over your fears. You can reduce your susceptibility to chronic anxieties. You can draw on the help and insight necessary to dissipate insidious doubts that are rooted in habit but not based on objective evidence. I don’t want to sound too melodramatic, my dear Pisces, but THIS IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY! YOU ARE POTENTIALLY ON THE VERGE OF AN UNPRECEDENTED BREAKTHROUGH! In my opinion, nothing is more important for you to accomplish in the coming weeks than this inner conquest. ∆
