Cunningham bucks Trump’s efforts to roll back vehicle efficiency standards

entral Coast Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) is joining a growing group of California lawmakers opposed to a proposal by the Trump administration that would end the state’s ability to set its own emissions and fuel efficiency standards for vehicles. Cunningham introduced a resolution on Aug. 6 supporting California’s independent vehicle efficiency standards. Speaking with New Times, Cunningham said he believed that the state’s standards have helped California reduce pollution and saved drivers money at the gas pump. The resolution is in response to a proposal by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that would freeze fuel economy standards nationwide and eliminate California’s waiver for the Clear Air Act, which allows the state to create its own more stringent efficiency standards. The state has received 130 of those waivers over the last 50 years, with former Gov. Ronald Reagan securing the first one in 1972. “Previous administrations in both parties have granted this to California,” Cunningham told New Times. “I think there’s an enormous benefit in letting states, when it makes sense, to go above and beyond.” If it passes, the resolution will be transmitted to President Trump, the congressional leadership of both parties, and the administrators of the EPA and NHTSA. Under federal rulemaking guidelines, the two agencies will be accepting public comments on their proposal for the next 60 days. Cunningham encouraged concerned constituents to submit comments. While Cunningham’s resolution makes its way through the legislative process, other state officials are already preparing for a fight to preserve the state’s standards. California

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CALFORNIA STATE ASSYEMBLY

Attorney General Xavier Becerra pledged to use “every legal tool” to fight the proposed changes, while the California Air Resources Board released a proposal on Aug. 7 that would require U.S. automakers to meet the state’s existing standards regardless of whether the Trump administration sets lower ones elsewhere. “California will take all actions to ensure that the smart standards we developed in partnership with the auto industry to cut greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles stay in place,” Air Resources Board Chair Mary Nichols said in a written statement. Cunningham’s resolution has bipartisan support, making rolling back the standards an issue where the state’s lawmakers break from the Trump administration and Republican members of Congress. FIGHTING BACK State Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham “I think there are areas (R-Templeton) introduced a resolution opposing attempts by the where California Republicans EPA under President Donald Trump that would strip the California of chart their own course. its ability to set its own efficiency stands for vehicles. This is one of those cases,” Cunningham said. “Clean air by six GOP Party chairs, including SLO County isn’t a Republican or Democrat issue.” Republican Party Chairman Randall Jordan, Whether local Republicans feel the same expressed disgust with the group of eight, and way remains to be seen. Cunningham and characterized their vote as a “betrayal.” seven other Republican lawmakers drew the Jordan declined to comment on Cunningham’s ire of the conservative voters and some party current resolution in an email response to officials after voting to extend the state’s “cap questions from New Times.

SLO County investigates Abel Maldonado for alleged cannabis or hemp grow As San Luis Obispo County ramps up enforcement against illegal cannabis grows in the area, officials say they are investigating what appears to be a large, unlicensed cannabis farm on land owned by former Republican Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado. Discovered recently by the SLO County Sheriff’s Office, the farm in question is “at least 30 acres” in size and located “on a large parcel” in South County, according to county Code Enforcement Supervisor Art Trinidade. Trinidade declined to disclose specifics about when and where it was found. “We are investigating the site owned by the Maldonado family,” he told New Times on Aug. 7. In response to the investigation, Maldonado—a Santa Maria Valley strawberry farmer, former Santa Maria mayor, and a recent contender for secretary of agriculture in the Trump administration—told the county that the farm is growing hemp, not cannabis. Trinidade said the plants are too early in their growth stage to determine which they are.

“At this point, anyone can say, ‘Those aren’t cannabis plants,’” he said. “Frankly, it does require a lab test. At a young age, it does look very, very similar.” Growing commercial cannabis in SLO County requires both local and state approvals—a process that dozens of hopeful cannabis industry members are currently going through. Maldonado’s site is neither licensed by the state nor en route to receiving permits from the county, according to Trinidade. The estimated 30-acre grow would be considered a “large” cannabis farm by state licensing criteria. While the county does not track or regulate hemp, hemp does require state registration. Trinidade said Maldonado has yet to prove that the plants are in fact hemp and part of a properly licensed research operation. If it proves to be a cannabis farm, Maldonado could face fines from the county, and the grow may have to be abated. “There’s a process,” Trinidade said. “If necessary, we’ll have to go through a cannabis hearing officer.” SLO County is currently undergoing an extensive effort to crack down on illegal NEWS continued page 6

VIEWER DISCRETION

by Jayson Mellom a home in the 1500 block of Osos Street on July 13 and attempted to sexually assault the victim at knifepoint. The victim and her roommate were able resist Rocha, and he fled from their residence, police officials said. Rocha was identified as the suspect by way of DNA evidence, according to court documents obtained by New Times. After his arrest, police said they searched Rocha’s residence and found numerous items of women’s clothing, mainly undergarments, and jewelry. According to the court filings, prosecutors said there was also “significant information” to suggest that additional evidence would implicate Rocha in another home invasion-style rape. That incident occurred on July 8, when a then-unidentified suspect broke into a residence on Los Palos Drive in SLO and sexually assaulted a female victim at knifepoint. “The description the victim provided in that case, which occurred one week prior, matches Rocha’s description,” the declaration filed by the District Attorney’s Office stated. “The manner in how the crime was committed also has strong similarities.” Rocha has two prior criminal convictions. He pleaded no contest to a second degree burglary charge in 2011 and was sentenced to 16 months in state prison. In 2012, he pleaded no contest to receiving or purchasing stolen property and was sentenced to five years in prison. In 2017, Rocha’s ex-wife filed a restraining order against him, claiming that he’d been verbally and physically abusive to her, particularly when he was using drugs. Rocha currently faces felony charges of assault with intent to commit rape, assault with a deadly weapon, firstdegree burglary, and a number of other enhancements in connection with the July 13 incident. Rocha pleaded not guilty to all the charges at an Aug. 6 hearing. He remains in SLO County Jail. —Chris McGuinness

cannabis operations. Dozens of unpermitted grows, mostly in the California Valley, are going through enforcement hearings that result in fines and abatement. Maldonado did not return requests for comment from New Times before press time. He told the Santa Barbara Independent that he’s started to lease 4 acres of farmland near Santa Maria to a licensed medical cannabis cultivator, according to an Aug. 6 article. “Let’s just say that my thinking [on cannabis] has evolved,” Maldonado told the Independent. —Peter Johnson

Fire engineer sues Five Cities Fire Authority for wrongful termination

A former Five Cities Fire Authority fire engineer claims that Fire Chief Steve Lieberman fired him in retaliation for speaking out about potential labor violations. A lawsuit filed on July 13 against the fire authority, the city of Arroyo Grande, and Lieberman, alleges that Jarrid Boyer was terminated after he discovered that the Fire Authority was in violation of not paying into CalPERS (California Public Employees Retirement System) for reserve firefighters working in excess of 1,000 hours annually. Boyer began working for the Fire Authority in October 2012 as a part-time firefighter but worked full-time hours under California retirement statutes, the lawsuit states. During an August 2016 meeting with Lieberman and Battalion Chiefs Riki Heath and Randy Steffan, Boyer proposed a solution, according to the lawsuit, to existing staffing issues regarding reserve firefighters. The lawsuit alleges that Lieberman spoke with Boyer in the following weeks, saying that Boyer’s suggestion would cause part-time employees to work more than 1,000 hours annually and thus be classified as fulltime employees—leading to a potential CalPERS issue. The lawsuit claims that Boyer then told Lieberman that part-time employees were already working more than 1,000 hours. After contacting CalPERS, Boyer learned that he wasn’t the only part-time Five Cities Fire Authority employee who wasn’t receiving CalPERs benefits while working in excess of 1,000 hours per year. Public employees working that many hours are entitled to CalPERS under state law. The lawsuit alleges that when Boyer presented his findings to Lieberman, the fire chief told him that it wasn’t Boyer’s job to look into the matter. “Chief Lieberman grew more aggressive and hostile in his demeanor when he told Mr. Boyer to ‘focus on his engineer promotional exam’ and to ‘not ever bring this issue up again,’” the lawsuit states. The Five Cities Firefighters Association took up the issue after Boyer brought it to their attention. In April 2017, an association member contacted CalPERS and initiated an audit of the Five Cities Fire Authority and the city of Arroyo Grande. Although Boyer was hired as a full-time engineer in March 2017 and was given two positive performance evaluations in

November 2017, according to the lawsuit, at the end of that month, Lieberman called Boyer into his office and fired him due to Boyer’s “failure to satisfactorily complete his probationary period.” Boyer opted to involuntarily resign but was still handed a termination document. As of Aug. 8, none of the defendants listed on the lawsuit had filed a response in court. In an email, Five Cities Fire Authority’s general counsel, David Hale, told New Times that the lawsuit is a personnel issue. “As a consequence of the litigation wherein the complaint speaks for itself as to the plaintiff’s allegations, we are not able to discuss any of the pending issues of this case until such time as it is resolved,” Hale said. —Karen Garcia

Judge increased bail for sexual assault, burglary suspect

A 40-year-old Arroyo Grande man accused of breaking into a San Luis Obispo home and attempting to sexually assault a woman at knifepoint is in jail on $1 million bail after prosecutors argued that his family might use drug money to bail him out and help him flee.

6 • New Times • August 9 - August 16, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

In court documents, SLO County prosecutors stated that members of Arthur Tiofilo Rocha’s family had been prosecuted for “large scale narcotics trafficking” and had ties to Mexico and other states, possibly making him a flight risk. “It is believed the family still has access to liquid assets … due to Rocha’s close ties to other states and Mexico, it is believed that if he is released, Rocha will flee the area, or remain and continue to prey on female victims in their residences,” a declaration filed the by SLO County District Attorney’s Office stated. A declaration written by SLO Police Department investigator Eric Vitale claimed that members of Roacha’s immediate family have “close ties” to family members prosecuted for drug sales. “Several are no longer in custody,” Vitale wrote. “It is believed that funds used to pay for Rocha’s bond/bail could come from proceeds related to felonious means.” A SLO County court judge sided with prosecutors, granting their request for increasing Rocha’s bail, setting it at $1 million. SLO police arrested Rocha on Aug. 1. According to investigators, Rocha entered

Cayucos to see high water rate increases

Water bills in Cayucos edge ever closer to a minimum of $200 with the recent San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors vote to increase rates in the seaside community. Supervisors unanimously voted on an initial water rate increase of $45 with incremental increases to follow. At the Aug. 7 meeting during public comment, Cayucos resident Craig Campbell said he understood the need for funding but that his community had already seen a recent water rate increase. “This sleepy little town has a lot of issues, and I think what’s going to happen is, by the time everybody finds out what they got to pay for, it’s going to cause a lot of issues,” Campbell said. The last water rate increase was passed in 2012, bringing the basic bi-monthly (every other month) charge for water service to $115.80. For the 2018-19 fiscal year, the recently approved increase will bring the bi-monthly bill, to a new rate of $176.93. For 2019-20, the increase will be an additional $4.39, and in 2020-21 the increase will be $6.27, equating to a $187.59 water rate. The increase will generate additional revenues of up to about $285,000 per year NEWS continued page 7

to boost financial reserves, enhance already implemented preventative maintenance programs, and fund capital improvement projects. Eight wharf head fire hydrants in town need to be replaced with standard fire hydrants; service meters require replacement; and leaking pipes need repair, among other things. All functions will improve fire protection and leak detection, reduce water loss, and improve service reliability, according to a county staff report. The antiquated water pipeline that serves the community lies on the south end of Cayucos and provides 766 connections to the community. More than 80 percent of the water pipelines in town are more than 40 years old, the staff report states, and 23,000 feet of pipe needs to be replaced. The rate increase only funds replacement of 1,000 feet of pipe. SLO County 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson said the improvements are necessary for the health, welfare, and safety of the community. “It is the cost of providing the very important service of water, and the ratepayers who benefit from the water service are the ones who, in the end, are responsible for the cost,” Gibson said. —Karen Garcia

SLO supervisors adopt ‘governance manual’

Prompted by a squabble between a supervisor and one of his constituents earlier this year, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors now has a new code of conduct to follow. Supervisors voted unanimously on Aug. 7 to adopt a governance manual that lays out “practices that build and sustain positive board relationships and define a culture of quality, equity, and respect.” The board requested the policy on Feb. 6, after a heated exchange between 3rd Distinct Supervisor Adam Hill and Pismo Beach resident Mark Burnes—where Hill told Burnes to “fuck off” in a Facebook message—went public. “The integrity of the county is dependent upon the responsible and professional manner in which each board member, and the board collectively, fulfills its governance roles and responsibilities,” the policy reads. Acrimony among county supervisors runs deeper than that one exchange. In the nearly two years since the election of 1st District Supervisor John Peschong flipped the board’s majority to the conservative end of the political spectrum, hostility and division has, at times, defined county politics. That appears to be addressed in the governance manual. In the document, board members pledge to “govern as a team,” make “well-informed and transparent decisions,” “be accountable to each other,” and “establish clear roles” and responsibilities. It lists mindfulness, focus, manner, and preparation as the key characteristics of effective board members. Supervisors passed the manual with little discussion, thanking the county staff who were involved in crafting it. ∆ —Peter Johnson

Abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement becomes an issue in Central Coast elections

WIN FREE TIX!

n June 30, a crowd of 1,500 people flooded the plaza outside the SLO County courthouse. They’d come to protest the Trump Administration’s now defunct policy of separating undocumented immigrant children from their parents at the United States’ southern border. They brought signs, of course. Some simply demanded that the government reunite the families, but others called for taking things a step further with a 10-letter, two-word demand. “Abolish ICE.” Since the June protests, the subject of dismantling U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement [ICE] has become a flashpoint for the nation’s Democratic voters. Some believe abolishing the agency is a moral imperative, while others say the idea is too extreme and worry that the issue will be used as a cudgel by Republicans and scare off independent and undecided voters in the November midterm elections. The divide is playing out on the Central Coast, where the subject of abolishing ICE has already reared its head as a topic in two political races. In the last two months, a handful of U.S. Democratic political candidates and lawmakers have come out in support of abolishing ICE. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara), however, isn’t one of them. Carbajal, whose district includes SLO and Santa Barbara counties, said he doesn’t believe that getting rid of the agency is a path worth pursuing. He noted that the agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, operates at the behest of the executive branch. “It’s not so much the agency, but the president’s policies. ICE does what the president says,” Carbajal told New Times. “While I’m not for abolishing ICE, I am for Congress insisting on greater responsibility, transparency, and accountability.” In July, Carbajal was one of 133 congressional Democrats who voted “present” on a Republican sponsored bill titled, “Supporting the officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” The symbolic bill was introduced after a Democratic member of Congress unsuccessfully attempted to introduce a bill to abolish ICE earlier that month. A vote of “present” signals neither support nor opposition to a bill. Carbajal said he voted that way because he believed the bill was a political stunt by Republicans, who he said have failed to address meaningful reform issues like the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program and immigration-related labor issues. “None of those issues were addressed in that legislation,” Carbajal said. “It

was a gimmick, a distraction. They are wasting time instead of trying to solve real immigration challenges.” Carbajal’s opponent in the November election, Republican Justin Fareed, wasted little time in capitalizing on Carbajal’s vote on the bill, characterizing it as “shameful” and stating that supporting ICE was a “no-brainer.” “I was appalled that my opponent refused to support a critical law enforcement agency,” Fareed told New Times. Fareed was critical of what he said was Congress’ failure to pass meaningful immigration reform, stating he was for creating a “fair, comprehensive, and merit-based” system. However, Fareed indicated that he viewed the subject of ICE as a public safety and law enforcement issue, noting that the agency worked to combat terrorism, drug trafficking, and undocumented criminals. “I don’t think it’s fair to condense those two things [into one issue],” he said. “We need to keep our communities safe.” While whomever ends up going to Washington, D.C., after November could have some say in ICE’s future, the topic also emerged as an issue between two candidates running for SLO city mayor, a local office with little control over federal immigration enforcement policy. Since the June protests, incumbent and progressive Democrat Mayor Heidi Harmon has publicly called for nixing ICE. In July, Harmon signed her name to an open letter calling for abolishing the agency. Of the 188 public officials across the country who signed their names to the letter, Harmon was the only one from SLO County to do so. “Our government should encourage civic and community participation and increase the quality of lives of

our residents,” Harmon wrote in a statement about the letter on her Facebook page. “The presence of ICE in our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, places of worship, and homes, makes this impossible.” When asked about the issue at a mayoral candidate forum for the SLO Progressives Club on July 26, Harmon’s stance remained unchanged. “I am 100 percent for abolishing ICE,” said Harmon, who earned the endorsement of the group. Her opponent, T. Keith Gurnee, told the audience that he was in favor of comprehensive immigration reform, but also wanted secure borders. “I’m zero percent behind abolishing ICE,” Gurnee said. Gurnee, a long-time Republican who switched his party affiliation to Democrat in May, has been critical of Gov. Jerry Brown’s stance on undocumented immigration. In an editorial published on CalCoastNews in March, Gurnee said he was in favor of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Session’s decision to sue California over the state’s so-called “sanctuary” laws. “Sessions was right in challenging California’s willful disobedience of the laws of our land,” Gurnee wrote. “And California deserves to lose that challenge.” A national poll conducted in early July by Morning Consult and Politico found that 43 percent of Democratic respondents support getting rid of ICE. However, the poll also found that 54 percent of all the respondents, including the majority of the Republicans and independents surveyed, favored keeping the agency. ∆

From the ground up SLO ag community and policy makers seek solutions to a farm labor and housing shortage BY PETER JOHNSON

ore than two years have passed, but the image is still fresh in the collective consciousness of the San Luis Obispo County agricultural community: The anger and threats that led to a destructive fire and then, ultimately, the abandonment of seven homes in Nipomo. They were nearly ready to house 112 foreign strawberry field workers on temporary visas— until someone decided put a match to it. The arson occurred on April 6, 2016, at the height of an intense swell of neighborhood opposition to the development on the residential cul-de-sac, Mads Place. Shaken by the experience, property owners Greg and Donna France of Mar Vista Berries abandoned the project. Authorities haven’t identified a suspect, and their investigation is ongoing, according to Cal Fire. Twenty-eight months after the France’s project went up in flames (note: only one home went up in literal flames), the lack of farmworker housing in SLO County remains an unresolved issue for many growers and field workers. “Really, nothing has been done since [the fire],” said 4th District SLO County Supervisor Lynn Compton, who represents Arroyo Grande, Oceano, and Nipomo, where berries and vegetables are heavily farmed. “[Farmworkers] come up here, and they don’t have anywhere to live.” The farmworker housing shortage links directly with the general farm labor shortage, which continues to impact the local ag industry: Vegetable production levels hit a 35-year low in the county in 2017. While housing is a critical need, with the number of H-2A visa workers roughly doubling in the last two years, the Mads Place incident lingers as a chilling example of a failed attempt to place legal foreign farmworkers next to resistant local residents. In the meantime, the same workers plucking berries and pruning wine grape vines in SLO County are often commuting to the area from surrounding regions, like the Santa Maria, Salinas, or Central valleys, according public visa documents and local growers who spoke with New Times In the wake of the arson, the SLO County Board of Supervisors allocated $250,000 to examine what the county can do to help alleviate the farmworker housing crunch. After holding workshops with local stakeholders, county officials will present a series of potential policy solutions on Aug. 21 that may get the ball rolling.

Root of the problem

The 2011 statewide drought initially masked the extent of the labor problem. Because crops require water before they require the labor to harvest them, farmers like Tom Ikeda, a longtime grower in the Pismo Oceano Vegetable Exchange, didn’t feel the labor pinch as acutely in 2012 as he did in 2016. “The drought kind of hid the problem because people were fallowing ground,” Ikeda said. “Since they didn’t have as much ground in production, the need for labor work wasn’t as great, so they were able to get by. But two winters ago, when we had the good rain, people had the water to plant up that fallow ground, and that’s when things really started to come to a head.” Throughout California the domestic farm labor force is on the decline, as the previous generation of immigrant field workers is aging and not being replaced by a new wave of immigrant workforce. Tavo Acosta, who manages vineyards from San Miguel to Los Alamos for Vino Farms, has observed this shift take place firsthand. “There was a certain time a few years ago when border crossing just became so hard and dangerous. So the risk, with everything added to it, is not worth it for new [workers] to take,” Acosta said. “There’s no filling-in for a labor force that is getting older.” Additionally, the children of first-generation farmworkers are often choosing a life and career outside of agriculture. “Like any other parent, they want the best for their kids,” Acosta said. “Their kids try [farming] out to get through high school and college, but after that, there’s no continuance from there. … I think there’s a strive for betterment.” The dwindling availability of local labor has caused a strain for farming operations—but the level of impact varies by the crop. In the last few years, vegetable farmers like Ikeda have watched roughly 20 percent of their would-be harvest rot in the fields due to lack of labor. When the market is tight, the higher value crops like strawberries and grapes tend to attract the workers. Berries, especially, can pay significantly more with “piece rate” wages that go up with a fast picker. And most wine grapes can now be harvested with machines, which reduces vintners’ need. “In vegetables, it’s not whole fields that we lose; it’s percentages,” Ikeda said. “Each field, we have a certain PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

SMALLER WORKFORCE A trio of farmworkers tend to a Vino Farms vineyard in San Miguel. Like many in the grape industry, Vino Farms has started to supplement a shrinking local labor pool with temporary foreign workers through the federal H-2A program. 10 • New Times • August 9 - August 16, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

HOUSING IN ASHES In April 2016, one of seven homes being built to house H-2A farmworkers in Nipomo was burned down by an arsonist who’s still at large. The development received intense opposition from neighbors and highlighted the struggle in SLO County to accommodate a growing population of foreign field laborers who need housing.

[time] window to harvest because it’s a perishable product. In the industry, I’ve heard similar stories and questions: ‘OK, what are we going to do? How are we going to get through this?’ Everybody’s asking the same questions.” While some crops are faring better than others with the labor shortage, most are having to turn to a burgeoning federal visa program to supplement their workforce with temporary foreign labor.

Shifting to H-2A

In 2012, farmers in SLO County filed zero applications with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to utilize the H-2A visa program, which enables growers to hire temporary foreign workers to fill their labor needs. By 2016, local growers had requested about 650 H-2A workers per year. Between January 2017 and July 2018, a 19-month period, the number had grown to about 1,300 H-2A workers, according to a New Times analysis of DOL data. The growing local reliance on the H-2A program mirrors the trend that’s seen statewide in agriculture, where the number of H-2A workers in California has exploded from a low of fewer than 2,000 in 2011 to more than 14,000 in 2017, according to an LA Times count. And it all points back to the local farmworker shortage. “We’re not 100 percent H-2A for our harvest, but our percentage is increasing because the domestic labor force just isn’t there,” Ikeda said. Strawberry farmers call for the most H-2A workers, accounting for almost two-thirds of all the H-2A workers in SLO and Northern Santa Barbara counties since 2017. Vegetables demanded about a third, and grapes, fruits, cut flowers, and sheep herding made up the remaining workers. Acosta, of Vino Farms, said his vineyard operations are just starting to dip their toes in the H-2A program. “We think that’s going to be a growing angle for us,” he said. But the biggest hurdle to making the H-2A program function is housing. Under H-2A regulations, the employer must provide the workers housing, food, and transportation throughout their stay, which can be for up to a year. As the need for H-2A workers grows, those requirements have become a substantial roadblock for

Uncertain future

As farmers scramble to adapt to the drastic shift in the labor market toward the H-2A program, they’re simultaneously trying to bring communities up to speed on the facts of what it is. H-2A workers are legal. They’re vetted with background checks and security clearances from a U.S. consulate. They’re monitored by the employer and transported in carpools via van, shuttle, or bus to the fields. They’re not seeking citizenship in the U.S. They’re not looking to get in trouble. Carlos Castaneda, of Castaneda & Sons, a labor contracting company for about a dozen local growers, described the opportunity of H-2A as a “golden ticket” for the worker. A young man in Mexico making a few dollars an hour in his home country is given the chance to make six times that in the U.S. for a few months. It’s money that he can bring back to support his family. That’s not an opportunity most people want to screw up. But the message isn’t always heard by local residents, as was the case at Mads Place in Nipomo in 2016. Concerns about increased criminal activity, traffic, and general disruptiveness are often expressed. And such opposition is likely going to continue as the push for housing carries on. “I don’t think [those fears are] quite necessarily what is happening,” Acosta said. “This migrant worker is here to work. They are very much embedded in their home country, and they’re screened intensively before they come.” While the H-2A program can at times be a clash between farmers and locals, in the big picture, it’s not really that black and white. Ikeda doesn’t see the H-2A phenomenon as a rosy sign for the future of his industry. The bottom line is farm labor is going away, and that FILE PHOTO BY DYLAN HONEA-BAUMANN

reality is leaving farmers at a crossroads. “We’ve pretty much been forced to go to H-2A labor, but in doing that, it comes at a higher cost,” Ikeda said. “The higher cost trickles down to domestic labor, so that labor becomes more expensive. In turn, the rate for next year’s H-2A [workers] is based on the prevailing wages of the region, which is going up because of H-2A. “So it’s kind of a vicious cycle, and there’s going to come a point in time when we can’t afford to do this,” he continued. “I think everybody sees that this is not a sustainable model.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Solve puzzles together I n a purple room at 583 Marsh St. in San Luis Obispo, lies a magical bookstore, Grim Stacks. The owner of the bookstore has captured a mystical creature and plans to take revenge on the library. Your job is to sneak into the shop, find the creature, and rescue it before the owner’s plans are carried out. The catch? Work together with your family, friends, or coworkers to solve a series of puzzles and escape the room within a certain amount of time. Grim Stacks is one of three escape rooms in The Puzzle Effect, a new escape room that’s opening its doors on Aug. 22. Owner Brain Lacertosa is also the CEO of BCR Developments, a Colorado-based company that has opened eight escape rooms in Phoenix and Gilbert, Arizona; Denver, Colorado; Bend, Oregon; and Bakersfield, Fresno, and San Luis Obispo. Lacertosa said he and his partner decided to open a location in San Luis Obispo to offer families and individuals of all ages another option for entertainment in the downtown area—other than going to a bar or out to eat. He wants people who walk into the rooms to talk and listen to each other. They are skills that he feels are lost with the technology boom that the younger generation is experiencing. “The beauty of this is that it forces you to talk, it forces you to listen and to work together,” he said. He had the idea of opening his first escape room in Denver after he and his family participated in the activity on a 2015 family vacation in New York. It was nothing like his family had experienced before. At the time, Lacertosa said there were about five of the entertainment facilities in the country. “You had no idea what to expect. It’s a room that’s 10-by-10, and it’s decorated like a home library. You just start finding things and putting pieces together and realizing that the things you found on the left side of the room go along with the things on the right side,” he said. The simplest way that Lacertosa can explain an escape room is by comparing it to a live version of the game Clue. There

are plenty of items in the room, but it’s what you do with them that leads you to solving the puzzles. “If you’re just thinking inside this box, then you are going to do horrible,” he said. “A lot of this comes down to trust because you have to trust the people you are with.” While the rooms Grim Stacks, Curse of the Emerald Seas (pirate-themed), and Pipe Works can be booked by large groups, Lacertosa said it’s almost better to get a room with strangers. “Random groups do better because there are no preconceived notions. When you’re with your friends, you know who’s the bossy one, the quiet one, or the loud one,” he said. Groups of fewer than six wanting to play with other people can book a day and time and choose the public play option. The rooms will be open to the public on Aug. 22, and booking a room can be done online at sanluisobispo. thepuzzleeffect.com. Grim Stacks and Curse of the Emerald Seas can hold groups of up to six and Pipe Works, a group of 10. To stay in the loop with new updates, events, and more, follow The Puzzle Effect on Facebook.

No public benefits

Ignoring scientists and environmental experts isn’t going to stop climate change

Newest wastewater facility site in Morro Bay will cost taxpayer money for private interests

fter abstaining from response to Al Fonzi’s previous opinion pieces —spinning his own ludicrous narratives and butchering historical context—Al Fonzi’s “False narratives” (Aug. 2) was just one hypocritical step too far for this pre-Trump member of the former Republican Party and Cuesta College history major. While Fonzi’s thesis-like statement seemed to imply that society (and 99 percent of the science) is plain wrong about the effects of climate change, and therefore responsible for our failing environmental policy, his curious list of catastrophes was unable to support the underlying message that chemical and fossil-fuel-generated climate change isn’t affecting the fire season and “fire experts don’t agree” about climate change. With all due respect, Al, if we want to learn anything about climate change, we will ask a scientist, an environmental expert, not a self-proclaimed fire expert who seems to reject modern science and fact in favor of yellow journalism from Fox News. Don’t believe what you see and hear, right? The East Coast isn’t experiencing record flooding, the coral reef systems aren’t dying, the glaciers aren’t melting, the hurricane seasons aren’t more severe, and our fire seasons aren’t getting longer due to record droughts. These are not the droids you are looking for. Just say it, Al, you’re a climate change denier … with zero evidence from science and zero support from your version of

ancy Bast hit the nail on the head in her commentary “Ulterior agendas” (July 26). The memorandum of agreement that she cites between the city of Morro Bay and Tri W Enterprises Inc. shows that the only beneficiary of building a wastewater treatment plant on the South Bay Boulevard site is Tri W Enterprises Inc.—at great and lasting public expense. The city is so hard-pressed to come up with reasons for selecting this site that it has to make them up. For example, the city makes the false claim on its website that an “advantage of the South Bay Boulevard site is its ability to support reclamation in the form of indirect potable reuse.” This is not an advantage of the South Bay Boulevard site because that procedure can be used at other identified sites. There is no benefit to the ratepayers of a sewage treatment plant at that site. There are only detriments—unaffordable rate increases that are going to cause people on fixed incomes to move away and longterm disruption of access to businesses on Quintana Road to bury unnecessary pipes for pumping raw sewage uphill to Tri W Enterprises’ property. The Morro Bay City Council convened an expert panel of wastewater professionals who informed council members that, “The biggest contributor to cost at the South Bay Boulevard (SBB) site is the site itself. Pipeline and earthwork costs there are very high. The

Even NASA and the U.S. military recognize climate change as a real and serious threat to our national security, while folks like Fonzi seem impervious to the same set of facts. While waxing on about his version of history, Fonzi forgets to identify which “tough decisions” have been neglected by our ignorant “leftist” society, and what bright minds of the fossil fuel or chemical industry can save us from our socialist selves. Which questions should we ask, Al? Call me a crazy liberal nut, because that is what I will undoubtedly be labeled for my faith in science and distrust of corporate America, but what I find uniquely absurd is the perverse level of denial and justification needed to convince oneself that environmentalists and climate scientists are in the wrong about climate science, while profiteering obstructionists—with a First Amendment right to bribe our chosen representatives—really care about the health of the planet and the hopes of our future generations. I say these things not to be offensive or demonize radical Republicans, but in defense of common-sense conservationism and sustainability, environmental science, basic human decency, and some goddamn respect for fellow Americans— who are every bit as patriotic as Al—who are tired of the unyielding and baseless attacks on everyone who fails to blindly CLIMATE continued page 14

most effective way to reduce construction cost is to go back to, near, or on the existing WWTP site.” By ignoring this vital information, the City Council conclusively turned its back on the welfare of the community, and the memorandum of understanding shows why. But the betrayal is deeper than paying more for the property than for other potential sites, buying more than three times the acreage needed for a wastewater treatment plant, and unnecessarily paying the “very high” costs of pipelines and earthwork to the site. It’s that burdening families and businesses with these unnecessary longterm costs is just collateral damage to the evident purpose of removing the barriers to development of private property that has been undevelopable for years. Eliminating those barriers depends on the city opening up the property with physical access to and utilities for the wastewater treatment plant. The City Council’s promises to direct city resources toward annexation of the property and provide access and services to it blatantly show this purpose. Adding insult to injury, the City Council has never brought this to a public meeting to discuss, and vote on, whether opening up this area for annexation and expanded development would benefit the city of Morro Bay. There has been no analysis of the impacts that this growth might have on the community and its resources. The WASTEWATER continued page 14

What we know now from the expert panel of wastewater professionals and the memorandum of understanding between the city and Tri W Enterprises Inc. is: 1) Costs can be reduced by using another site; 2) There are no benefits to ratepayers to using the South Bay Boulevard site; and 3) The unnecessarily higher cost of building at the South Bay Boulevard site is for the purpose of subsidizing private interests. Under Proposition 218, money spent on building at the South Bay Boulevard site above what would be spent at another site is not money spent on providing water and sewer services to rate payers and is unconstitutional. Fortunately for us in California, ratepayers have the power to prevent this kind of misappropriation of public funds by protesting the water and sewer rate increases proposed by the City Council to pay for it. ∆ Cynthia Hawley is a resident of Morro Bay and a land use and environmental protection attorney.

It’s the sunshine, stupid

I wholeheartedly agree with Jeanne Kinney: A seven-story building has no place in downtown SLO (“Chorro and Marsh,” Aug. 2). Not for extra living space, or commerce, or anything else. Besides her people, SLO’s character is about three things: sunshine, mountains, and weather (particularly ambient air temperature). When we build up, we lose all three. We lose the sunshine and the warmth to shadowed streets, and we lose the view of our beautiful mountains. If we lose those three things, we lose SLO. Blot out the sun and the mountains and change the temperature, and it may as well be any urban setting anywhere. I say all this as a renter who is almost completely priced out of the market: I’d rather be forced to leave than to see SLO lose her charm. Here’s a concession/suggestion: If we want to build up, we did it right at Cal Poly—up against the mountains. But for the sake of all that’s holy here, don’t cast a giant, dark, cold shadow across our lovely downtown. Sean R. Shealy San Luis Obispo

The cost of college is unrealistic

In This Modern World’s Aug. 2 installment, Goofball thinks, “College should be free.” Galahad thinks, “This is extremely unrealistic.” Here is a statement from my 1961

UCLA admissions form: “Tuition in the academic colleges is free to every student who has been a legal resident of the state of California for a period of one year ... .” Out-of-state students had to pay a whopping $250. The cost of college has gotten out of hand and needs to be controlled. We need as many well-educated students as possible to compete globally and keep our country great. Our kids deserve it, and our country needs it. Rick Tibben Nipomo

Forest management is the culprit

Al Fonzi, great opinion piece in the Aug. 2 New Times (“False narratives”). Having worked in the timber industry all my life, I know that the primary reasons for natural disasters are not global warming or changing climates! They’ve been happening since the beginning of time and have been worse and not so bad as during the last decade. Remember back in the 1970s when the scare was another ice age? I believe that the problems with our national forests are the result of bad forestry management imposed during the 1980s to save the spotted owl, etc. Now, I’m not against saving endangered species, and I know that there was some very bad practices back in the last century which needed to be addressed and have been, but what’s been happening LETTERS continued page 15

with bark beetle infestations, etc., is not caused solely by a changing climate (which I believe is a redundant term anyway). People don’t realize that the privately owned forests do not have the same problems that publicly owned forests do because privately owned forests are better managed. Duh!? Craig Kincaid SLO

not mean there are motives afoot to benefit anyone in particular. Forty dollars a month is hardly onerous for clean water that will enhance our supplies for decades and prevent continued overload of the current wastewater treatment system.

Street talk Social media sound off

New Times readers took to Facebook to share their thoughts the Aug. 2 commentary, “Chorro and Marsh: Allowing a seven-story building downtown in exchange for so-called ‘affordable housing’ is ridiculous.”

Change is coming

Nancy Bast (“Ulterior agendas,” July 26) researches some potential reasons for placing the Morro Bay Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF) at the TRI-W site, and determines that it may be because city leaders are scheming to see surrounding property developed for some nefarious motives. The fact is that the TRI-W site was determined to be the best site (of at least five that were thoroughly studied) to serve the entire community’s needs while meeting coastal regulations, capturing finance opportunities, being safe, and satisfying neighbors. An unstated but obvious fact is that Morro Bay is due to have a growth spurt whether or not the TRI-W site is used for the WRF. Our town has a climate where humans can live in comfortable weather surrounded by breathtaking vistas and an exquisite national estuary. It is a selfcontained small, safe town where growth has been restrained for decades. The city would be wise to locate a top-quality, long lasting, WRF in the middle of property that may see development, but that does

Life is about choices

Corky Richardson’s letter suggesting that her granddaughter might choose not to attend Cal Poly because graduation speakers urged more diversity (at the most lily-white CSU campus) causes me to hope that the granddaughter does choose to go elsewhere. We do not need more students from families with these attitudes if we are to increase tolerance and diversity at Cal Poly. Please let us know where she goes. Michael R.

After Diablo: back to the land

ecades before it was built, when it was just a gleam in PG&E’s eye, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant triggered an explosion inside the Sierra Club. The detonation resounded from 1966 through 1969, split our national board of directors into opposing factions, split the regional Sierra Club chapter into two chapters, and led to multiple national membership referendum votes and the resignation of the club’s executive director. (Read all about it in Conservation Fallout: Nuclear Protest at Diablo Canyon by John Wills, University of Nevada, 2006.) Fifty years ago, the radioactive hazards of nuclear power and its waste product were on nobody’s radar, and the discovery of the crazy seismic quilt of earthquake faults all around the proposed plant site lay years in the future. Back then, the fight over Diablo Canyon was literally about Diablo Canyon—the sacrifice of a portion of California’s wild coast to industrial use and its threat to marine life. In 1959, a Pacific Coast Recreational Survey by the National Park Service had found that “this large, unspoiled area possesses excellent seashore values and should be acquired for public recreation and conservation of its natural resources.” Better late than never. When PG&E submitted its application for approval of the plant’s closure to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), the Sierra Club and the Friends of Wild Cherry Canyon filed formal protests arguing that the preservation of the 12,000 acres of undeveloped coastal land around the plant owned by PG&E or its subsidiaries must be part of the plan. The PUC administrative law judge declined to rule on the issue as part of those proceedings but put PG&E on notice, making it clear that they were not to be “selling or leasing land or signing development deals” before the plant decommissioning process and a return trip to the PUC. That’s where you come in: PG&E has convened a Diablo Canyon Community Engagement Panel to take public input on, among other things, what the citizens of SLO County want to see done with the land. Your opportunity to tell the committee just that and get your comments on the public record will come on Wednesday, Aug. 29, at 6 p.m. at the SLO County Government Center, 1055 Monterey St., SLO. Speakers will be given three minutes each. We advise using that time to make one of two points: 1. The voters of SLO County voted overwhelmingly to approve the DREAM Initiative 18 years ago, affirming the long-term preservation and conservation of the lands surrounding the plant after its closure. 2. Sixty years later, the findings and recommendation of the National Park Service stands: “This large, unspoiled

area possesses excellent seashore values and should be acquired for public recreation and conservation of its natural resources.” PS: Deptartment of Attempted Distractions For the last month or so, Al Fonzi has been using these pages to peddle the conspiracy theory that Russia is secretly behind the movement to get the U.S. off its fossil fuel addiction. This tale, based on a congressional committee report cobbled together from a 2014 hit piece on environmental groups by a corporate lobbyist who counts Big Oil among his clients, has spent four years in search of traction and credibility. It’s not improving with age. After I refuted Mr. Fonzi’s effort—a refutation that required no more than quoting from his source (“Dr. Evil is a bad source,” July 12)—Mr. Fonzi complained that I was insufficiently adamant in denying the charge that “the Sierra Club Foundation received millions of dollars from the Russian-backed organizations” (“What a tangled web we weave,” July 19). Mr. Fonzi apparently doesn’t click on links or read cited news stories, so one more time: He should read the 2017 article, “Republicans brewing Russian scandal to target greens,” by Politico’s Ben Lefebvre, who has reported on energy issues for Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal, wherein he will find all the suitably emphatic denials he could desire, from every named party. He will also find the journalistic and academic assessments that there is “no evidence that Russian money has gone to U.S. green groups” and there is “little but innuendo” on which to base that charge. Mr. Fonzi has staked out a fallback position, warning that it’s not just “sincere ‘not in my backyard’ protesters” opposing new fossil fuel projects and promoting renewable energy but “large, well-funded groups”—Russians or no Russians—and readers should “think about that and who will most benefit.” Reality intrudes: Between 2000 and 2016, the fossil fuel industry spent more than $2 billion on its effort to influence climate legislation in Congress, an outlay which, the Desmog blog noted, “overshadowed that of environmental organizations and the renewable energy sector by a ratio of approximately 10 to 1.” Here is a real-world focus for Mr. Fonzi’s fears: corporate lobbyists like Rick “Dr. Evil” Berman and his large, wellfunded clients in the fossil fuel industry. Who will benefit from our efforts to oppose them? Mr. Fonzi will, along with every other living thing. ∆ Andrew Christie is director of the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club.

Opinion

The Shredder

Trump logic

nly a genius would see the problem so clearly! If you want to save energy, make automobiles less fuel efficient, and then drivers will drive less because it costs too much! Thanks, Trump! Why didn’t California think of that? Out here on the Left Coast, we’ve been operating under the silly assumption that more efficient fuel standards would save our environment, and that higher gasoline taxes would serve the dual purpose of raising money for road maintenance while simultaneously creating an incentive to choose public transportation or encourage electric or hybrid vehicle purchases. What rubes we are! Bless us with your wisdom, oh stable genius! Trump’s calling for more lax standards, and even more brilliantly moving to end California’s power to set its own tougher greenhouse gas emissions standards as well as nullifying California’s mandate that automakers must sell a specific number of electric vehicles. Why? Because California is ruining it for the rest of “real America”! You see, with a strong economy and population of nearly 40 million, when California set fuel standards, automakers had two choices: raise standards for their entire fleet of cars and trucks (thus making every state cleaner) or be excluded from California’s lucrative car market. We were ruining it by driving up the cost of vehicles and cutting into gas sales. According to Trump, we need 2018-08-09_NT+SMS_AGWI-ad_mechREV1.pdf

more retrograde thinking! Drag those knuckles, Cali! Weirdly, at least one local official— Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo)—is not falling in lockstep with Der Führer. He introduced a resolution (AJR 49) supporting California’s right to set its own standards. “California is proud to lead the nation towards a cleaner future,” Cunningham in a press release. “Our ability to set our own emission goals has reduced pollution, increased fuel efficiency, and saved drivers money at the pump.” Yeah, but you’re a Republican, Jordie, and you’re gonna make Trumpsters like SLO Republican Party bigwig Randall Jordan have a conniption fit! “Clean air is not a Republican or Democrat issue,” Cunningham told New Times reporter Chris McGuinness. “There is no Democratic or Republican air.” Well, not yet, but I imagine that’s one of the ideas certain folks whisper into the ears of the life-size cardboard Trump cutout in the SLO Republican office. “Oh Donnie, I mean ‘Sir,’ just imagine if we made a law against libtards breathing patriotic American air!” Rando whispers. “We could tell them to go to your magnificent southern border wall and sniff Mexican air through the holes.” 1

8/7/2018

Yep, it’s a topsy-turvy world out there. In fact, (and disappointingly, I might add—because there was no conniption fit, at least not a public one) Rando simply told New Times he wouldn’t comment on Cunningham’s power play against the presidential dick-tater’s version of the Environmental “Protection” Agency. Maybe the Tea Party stalwart has come around to the reality of things—or maybe he just hates this liberal rag (which is a reality we’re pretty used to). But it’s strange, considering the last time our moderate Republican Assembly member did something this publicly in support of the environment (in July 2017), our cardcarrying Tea Party friend signed his name to a letter denouncing his representative. Good ol’ Rando joined Republican Party Central Committee chairs from six other counties, saying he was “disgusted with the betrayal” of eight Republican representatives who dared join the Democrats in extending a “faulty cap-and-trade scheme.” “Ignoring the damage to jobs and the economy and with no proof of a positive environmental effect by cap-and-trade, the Republicans have stuck their thumb in the eye of county Republican Central Committees and conservatives across the state,” the letter stated. California has 58 counties, by the way—not just six. Goddamn collaboration on preventing the world from burning to a crisp! How dare they! Don’t worry Randall, my dear; it’s not working anyway. Just keep in mind that 600,000 acres of California is being or has been charred to crisp. So much for clean air. Speaking of politicians who break from

party lines—well, ex-politicians—ex-Lt. Gov. Abel “I wanted to be a reality TV star” Maldonado is apparently into pot. He’s got cannabis (er, hemp) growing on property in both Santa Barbara and SLO counties! I’ll give you one chance to guess the county that he’s in trouble with. Give up? Aww, you guessed it? Yes, it’s SLO County. Well, it is a 30-acre grow of unlicensed suspicious looking greenery that he swears is hemp, you know, for research purposes. According to SLO County Code Enforcement Supervisor Art Trinidade, that shit needs to be tested, you know, chemically. That’s apparently the only way to determine whether the Maldonados are getting into the textile-making business or the stoner-making business. Either way, the large plot of whatever variety of cannabis—newsflash: hemp and pot are both part of the cannabis family— the Maldonados are dabbling in with both feet needs to at least be licensed by the state. Mr. Maldonado, who didn’t return any inquiries from New Times and whose voicemail box was full (seriously?), told the Santa Barbara Independent all about the measly 4 acres in Santa Barbara County that he’s leasing out to grow medical cannabis. It’s licensed by both the state and the county because Santa Barbara passed pot legislation that people can actually work with. Only geniuses would see a problem so clearly! ∆ The Shredder has genius running through his blood. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Craig Nuttycombe takes listeners on his quirky journey

raig Nuttycombe has mortality on his mind. Now 70, the local singer-songwriter has lived quite a musical life. While a Hollywood High School student in the early ’60s, he played rhythm guitar with the surf band The New Dimensions, and in the mid ’60s he played around the Sunset Strip with a bunch of other bands, including The Eastside Kids, where he met Denis Lambert. In 1968, he and Lambert formed the folk duo Lambert & Nuttycombe, releasing their first album, At Home, on A&M Records in 1970. In 1973, the pair released their second, As You Will, on 20th Century Records. Lambert’s increasing drug use led to their eventual separation, but Nuttycombe released a solo album, It’s Just a Lifetime, on A&M Records, produced by the great engineer Glyn Johns, before leaving his music career to work on a ranch in Carmel Valley for several years before finally settling in San Luis Obispo. Of course, he’s never stopped playing, but he did stop chasing fame, although sometimes fame had a way of chasing him. When The New Dimensions played a reunion concert 50 years after their formation, a production company started a documentary on the band. About a decade ago, a Japanese fan of Lambert & Nuttycombe brought Nuttycombe to Japan to play a couple of shows and promote the re-releases of some Lambert & Nuttycombe recordings. That aside, Nuttycombe has been happy

to cultivate a quiet musical life in SLO Town, where he’s independently released a series of albums such as My Own Beat, Get It Done, Planetorial Janitor, All You Need, Impermanence, and his most recent effort, the amazing Twin-Tailed Comets, for which he’ll play at an album release party next Friday, Aug. 17, in Cambria’s Painted Sky Studios (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $15 at Boo Boo’s, Ball & Skein, or by calling (805) 927-8330). The 13-song album takes listeners on an eclectic ride, opening with “Everything Going Forward,” on which he sings, “Everything going forwards will be backwards. In a sense I don’t care anymore. I’m just looking for some place to fall and it may be that someday I’ll be calling at your door.” Nuttycombe likes to get metaphysical, political, and whimsical in his songs, and this one’s about time, relativism, and relationships. “I wrote that in the early ’70s,” Nuttycombe explained recently over lunch. “Denis and I demoed it but we never recorded it for an album. I was in my early 20s and here I am in my early 70s, and it’s just as pertinent. The album’s a mix—some [songs] are old, some are new or middle-aged.” The second track, “Mosey On,” seems to get at the heart of how Nuttycombe sees the musician’s life: “See the funny little man on stage. He likes to sing. He likes to play. He likes to joke and clown around. He always smiles. He don’t frown. You know now, he don’t sing about the goofs

THE SAINT OF SONGS AND DOGS Craig Nuttycombe (and band) will release his excellent new album Twin-Tailed Comets on Aug.17, at Painted Sky Studios.

he made, detours taken along the way. Somewhere perhaps he might have stayed instead of mosey on.” Trying to be a professional musician leads to weird places, and it also makes relationships hard, as track 3, “Split Apart,” seems to explore: “I miss my old friend. Wanna see her again. Twin-tailed comets blaze across the sky. … Like basic math, make a whole from two halves. I’ve got lots of loving inside my heart. Someday I’m going to give it to my split apart.”

For “Time,” a song written by Denis Lambert, Nuttycombe tapped Denis’ daughter Denise Lambert. Denis committed suicide in the ’90s, and you can feel the emotion bursting from her tender country voice as these two sing a song written by someone so close to them—someone too-soon departed: “Improbabilities. It’s not as easy as it seems to be, and oh time, you have changed me,” the chorus rings.

STARKEY from page 30

“I wanted to redo it in honor of him and with his daughter, who flew in with her fiancé from Nashville to record it,” Nuttycombe added. “It’s a tribute to Denis and an excuse to get together with Denise. I haven’t really stayed in touch as much as I wanted to, just a phone call every few years, but she told me I was like the father she never had. It was very touching.” The album lightens up considerably with “Go Outside,” which Nuttycombe said, “pays homage to dogs in the last line.” If you check his webpage, Nuttycombe, a staunch dog lover, has a link to photos with many of his dogs over the years. “Which way shall we go outside? Perhaps we’ll let the dogs decide because dogs somehow, they just know best. They’re happy when they go for a ride, run around and play outside and then lay down and take a rest.” The song’s all about nature’s rejuvenating power, and it segues nicely into the next track, “Derelictal,” which features all of Nuttycombe’s bandmates from the Gypsy jazz, swing, folk, and wild classical super group Café Musique, of which he’s been a member for years. The song’s rhymes are so amazing! “I’m a derelictal man. I lead a derelictal life. I’d really like to find me a derelictal wife. Together we’d explore the dark side, just we two, living us a life of derelictal blues. Derelicts!” Aside from the one song written by Lambert, there’s only one other cover

on the album, “It’s All in the Movies,” by Merle Haggard off his 1976 album of the same name. It fits perfectly into Nuttycombe’s style: “But that’s all in the movies / It won’t happen to you and I / That’s all in the movies so baby don’t cry.” “I’ve always loved it,” Nuttycombe said. “I discovered it in the ’70s, and I don’t think it was especially popular, but I still find myself playing it around the living room. I wanted to record it before I die.” There goes that mortality thing again! It continues on “Rise and Fall,” on which Nuttycombe sings, “I came in on a rise. I’m going out on a fall. I feel I had a good life in between but it makes me rather STARKEY continued page 33 IMAGE COURTESY OF CRAIG NUTTYCOMBE

STARKEY from page 31

sad, it makes me downright mad, to watch it turn into some kind of ugly dream. Mainstream media, reality TV, never thought that we could stoop so low, to select a president who has no common sense, hey just sit back and have some popcorn, watch the show as it all unfolds and the story’s told. Isn’t it a shame you cannot grow old.” Yet for every dose of reality about death or politics, Nuttycombe’s got a song to lift you back up. “Shoe Be Do Wah” is one of the funniest songs on the album, opening like an early Tom Waits lounge tune: “Now looky here. I was sitting on the throne, waiting on some scat, reading the paper ’bout some new guru cat. It took me back to my earlier days when I heard the Maharishi speak at UCLA. He had a grin from ear-to-ear like a Cheshire cat, said, ‘For a nominal fee I could show you where it’s at. You can give away your pot, throw away your booze. You won’t need any of that stuff when I enlighten you.’ He couldn’t stop giggling, he just radiated hope, and I thought to myself, ‘Yeah, I want in on the joke.’ He said, ‘Come back with some fruit, a little bit of cash, and one of my disciples will show you the path.’” The song goes on to explain how the disciple whispered Nuttycombe’s personal mantra in his ear, which turns out to be “Shoe Be Do Wah Shoe Be Do Be Do Wah.” Nuttycombe frequently has his tongue firmly implanted in his cheek. Nuttycombe sings a beautiful duet with Cambria chanteuse Jill Knight on “At Bay,” about estranged lovers rethinking their breakup: “We had it handed to us on a platter. God’s arm came down from the sky. Remember those tears of recognition? Can we put a hold on goodbye?” Nuttycombe pulled the next track, “When My Time Comes,” from the vaults. “This one’s dedicated to Glyn Johns because he produced it on my 1978 A&M solo album It’s Just a Lifetime,” he said. “Forty years later the song still resonates for me.” Nuttycombe sings, “Well when my

ADORABLE Indie darlings Rainbow Kitten Surprise play the Fremont on Aug. 11.

time comes, won’t be long, until I have no choice but to leave, I don’t normally ask nothing, but this time I will ask something, please speak kindly of me.” The song is Nuttycombe’s producer and Café Musique bandmate Eric Williams’ favorite, and Nuttycombe notes that Williams “laid down some amazing organ and slide guitar on that track. Eric’s amazing. It wouldn’t be the same [album] without his production, arrangement, and playing. One of the nicest compliments was from Wendy Liepman [of Bob & Wendy], who said, ‘You know, all the arrangements sound like they should be there. Nothing’s out of place.’” “My goal,” Williams said, “is to figure out what each song wants to be, what the nature of it is. What does the song need to be itself.” The orchestration and arrangements are truly perfect, with a huge variety of textures and sounds. The musicianship is first-rate! Nuttycombe’s core band for the project also included Café Musique bassist Fred Murray and local percussion master Daryl Vandruff, whose idea it was to bill the group as Craig Nuttycombe with Two Musicians and a Drummer. Guest players also included Tim Costa, Bob Liepman, John Astaire, Brynn Albanese, Duane Inglish, Laurie Rasmussen, and Tom Ball. What a sound they make! One of my favorite tracks is the cowbell-heavy “I’ve Had Some Fun.” This one boogies! Sings Nuttycombe: “I’ve had 70 trips around the sun. I’ve had me some loving and had me some fun. I wrote myself a song or two and every once in a while I try to sing them to you. Oh I’ve had some fun! Just when I think there can’t be much more, you come a-knockin’ on my front door with a birthday balloon and a child in tow. I swear I’ve never seen such a beautiful glow. You make it fun!” The final track, “The Haunting,” is another quirky one. “We put ‘The Haunting’ last because after hearing it [no] one will ever want to

hear it again,” Nuttycombe joked. “Since it’s last, no one will have to skip past it. It was track number 13, which is appropriate.” “It starts as a cowboy ballad,” bandmate Williams said, “then merges into a ghost story and then back to a cowboy ballad. The subtheme is, ‘I’m going to die soon, and then I’m gone but not really gone.’” Nuttycombe sings, “Don’t mourn me when I go cuz all you’ve got to know is that I’m still around, but you don’t have to be a-scared cuz when I’m floating up the stairs, I promise I won’t make a sound. Yet in death like life you see there’s a mischief side to me so what I promise may not all be true. I’ll try to keep it on the quiet side except don’t be too surprised if from somewhere out of nowhere comes a ‘boo!’” This should be a great album release show next Friday, so don’t miss it! On a final note, it’s never too late for love! Jill Knight and Craig Nuttycombe would like to announce their engagement and pending nuptials. Congrats, you crazy kids! Mazel tov!

Lips don’t lie SLO mayor and Bluebird Salon collaborate on lipstick that benefits RISE

very morning, San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon starts her day the same way: Before heading out the door she puts on a few swipes of her go-to lip color, Revlon Color Stay in Plum. “I get up early and I usually go late into the evening, and it’s nice for me to have something I can count on,” Harmon said. But soon, her trusty long-lasting Revlon will have some competition. Heidi is Mighty lipstick, a fierce shade of red, is newly available in SLO stores such as Bluebird Salon, Len Collective, and Ambience. The politically inspired makeup is a collaboration between Harmon and Ariel Shannon, owner of Bluebird Salon. It retails for $21, with $1 from every tube purchased going to RISE SLO, a local nonprofit that serves victims of sexual assault and violence. The way Harmon sees it, lipstick is a product mainly used by women, and RISE is a group fighting a battle where women are most likely to be victimized.

included red, sparkly lips) at a charity fashion show at Madonna Inn, Shannon said she was inspired to create Mighty Lips, a line of lipsticks inspired by local women. And she knew she wanted her first shade to be red and named after Harmon. Red is the mayor’s signature color, from her iconic red rose tucked behind one ear, to her clothes and accessories, and even her go-to Revlon lipstick. The duo went through about 20 different shades of red from a private label based out of California before they settled on the perfect color. “The idea was to provide the stories of influential women to young girls and women to inspire people on what’s possible,” Shannon said of Mighty Lips. “We have a lot of women speaking out now, so I like the concept of Mighty Lips and speaking your truth and having a safe space for that.” And indeed women in power with a penchant for a bold lip color are having a moment.

While Harmon knows lipstick won’t solve every problem, she still thinks it has its place. “You can be in a very important, serious position as a woman and still do and be some of these more fun aspects of femininity,” Harmon said. “People often confuse seriousness with solemnity, and you don’t have to be solemn to be serious. I think there’s misogyny in that, and there’s also a lack of understanding. You can wear lipstick and do things like address the unfunded pension liability and deal with cannabis policy and zoning. Women are just people and we can do all of those things.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley’s current favorite shade is Lipstick Queen’s Frog Prince. Contact her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

With every single fiber Studios on the Park exhibit shows fine art side of quilts and fiber art IMAGE COURTESY OF JEANNE AIRD

GALACTCIC Paso Robles artist Jeanne Aird takes her inspiration from sources like nature, colors, and patterns when creating quilt art pieces like Wondering About Mars.

he original first lady Martha Washington inspired Paso Robles artist Jeanne Aird’s first foray into working with fabric. As a Girl Scout, her mother taught Aird and her troop how to make the style of nightgown (complete with a cap) that Washington helped popularize. “My mom always sewed. I would spend a lot of time in her bedroom, playing with fabric and sewing,” Aird said. “Anything to do with fiber is fun.” Later, Aird would be swept up in weaving, quilting, macramé, and shibori. In 1996, Aird began to create quilt art pieces, many of which are currently on display as part of the Good Fibrations exhibit at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles. The former Flamson Middle School art teacher takes inspiration from nature, color, patterns, and environmental concerns. Her piece Wondering About Mars features vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges contrasting with black and white, interspersed with planetary orbs and light beams. While Aird knows that her work is fine art, she said that not everyone considers fiber art to be more than a craft.

Cool threads

The Good Fibrations exhibit will be on display through Aug. 26 at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, with a Fabulous Fused Fabric Collage class on Aug. 14 from 1 to 3 p.m., and a Fabulous Fun with Fabric Paints class on Aug. 21 from 1 to 3 p.m. Each class is $15 per person. Visit studiosonthepark.org for more information.

“Anything that is considered craft is considered less than, and I think a lot of that stems from how women in the arts are viewed,” Aird said. “For a long time it was just women in fiber. So it’s that same old story. There is that distinction that if something is utilitarian it couldn’t be fine art.” Artist Ellen November also found inspiration for her work featured in Good Fibrations from a utilitarian source: maps. Since relocating to the Central Coast from LA three years ago, November has made pieces inspired by local spots like Solvang, Laguna Lake, Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, Cambria, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Nipomo, and Avila Beach. Her piece on Solvang features windmills as a nod to the town’s Danish roots and culture that are WHEN IN SOLVANG Cartography is a recurring still alive and well today. theme in artist Ellen November’s work.

o-writer and director Susanna Fogel (Life Partners, Chasing Life TV series) helms this action-comedy spy spoof about 30-year-old besties Audrey (Mila Kunis) and Morgan (Kate McKinnon) who find themselves thrown into the world of international espionage after Audrey’s ex-boyfriend Drew (Justin Theroux) shows up, revealing that he’s a spy with assassins on his trail. The pair of women throw themselves headfirst into the adventure, which soon takes them to exotic European locales, where they encounter charismaticbut-suspicious British agent Sebastian Henshaw (Sam Heughan). (116 min.) Glen With a female director and two female leads in a usually male-centric genre, I had high hopes that The Spy Who Dumped Me might offer a sly, satirical take on the macho spy movie. Instead, the film focused more on slapstick and vagina jokes than poking fun at a film type that’s usually an absurdist, infantile, misogynistic fantasy. That’s not to say The Spy wasn’t fun. McKinnon—who does most of the comedic heavy lifting—and Kunis seem to be having a lot of fun as two fish-out-of-water average gals who relish diving headfirst into adventure. As a summer popcorn comedy it fills the bill, but the premise seems somewhat wasted on this lowbrow joke fest. The film opens on Audrey’s 30th birthday party, and her friend Morgan is trying to cheer her up amid coworkers asking about Audrey’s now-ex boyfriend. “Where’s your adorable boyfriend, Drew? I want to hug him.” Audrey is clearly the less flamboyant of the two, and McKinnon as Morgan is focusing all her considerable manic energy into the character. The next day at work, Audrey meets a handsome stranger, Sebastian, but the meet-cute quickly turns perilous, and Audrey learns her ex Drew is a CIA spy. Soon Drew returns, and Audrey and

Morgan’s adventure begins when they travel to Europe to meet a contact named Verne, so they can hand off a mysterious flash drive that competing interests are after.

In the same way Hook ’s adult Peter Pan had to return to Neverland to rediscover his long-lost inner child, so must Christopher to the Hundred Acre Wood. McGregor is perfectly sufficient as the titular character, but the real star of Christopher Robin is legendary voice actor Jim Cummings (who’s played the Disney iterations of both Pooh and Tigger since the late ’80s). In case you forgot how adorably hilarious Pooh as a character is, this film is here to remind you in spades. As much I enjoyed this outing, I think I would have much rather preferred a more Pooh-centric plot, or even a collection of

vignettes (akin to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh). All I’m asking for is less human interactions and more heffalumps and woozles, please! It’s hard to care about the real world when the vastly superior Hundred Acre Wood is right around the corner. I’m not saying I have anything against watching an adult Christopher Robin rediscover his old (or should I say young?) self, the one that loved embarking on marvelous adventures in a magical setting, especially when that reemergence results in heartstring tugging exchanges between him and his loved ones—including Pooh, of course. But I truly hope I live to see the day when this kind of story can be told without a climactic boardroom-meeting scene, ya know? The ones where the protagonist has to choose between his career and helping his family with (insert a problem

EIGHTH GRADE

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Stadium 10 YouTube comedian Bo Burnham directs Elsie Fisher (Despicable Me) as Kayla, a shy eighth grader who is completing the last week of her subpar middle school career. The entire week is filled with familiar ups and downs of adolescent life; most moments are undeniably awkward and prove embarrassing for both the characters and the audience. For those who have forgotten how uncomfortable middle school can be, this is a strong refresher. Fisher’s authentic and captivating performance keeps the entire film afloat—Kayla is an instantly recognizable character. Her speech cadence tilts with pre-teen uncertainty, her shoulders slouch, and her facial acne is often illuminated by a phone’s glow. She snaps easily at her wellintentioned father (Josh Hamilton), but shows a more thoughtful and sweet nature in her amateur YouTube advice videos. Though Kayla rarely socializes with peers and is marked by her quietness in class, she still manages to be incredibly bold (especially by middle school standards). Many memorable scenes are the result of Kayla rejecting her perceived self and courageously pursuing who she would like to

Whether that’s by showing up unwelcomed to a popular girl’s pool party or crawling across the classroom mid-drill to talk with her crush, it is easy to simultaneously root for Kayla and internally advise against her choices. While the film attempts to produce cringeworthy moments (and rightfully so), there are some aspects which come off as overly nauseating. Kayla’s consistent “Gucci” sign-off is hard to endure, and some pop culture references, such as dabbing, seem over the top. However, these cheesy gags don’t undo more serious themes in the film. An unexpected and truly chilling scene takes place when Kayla is put in a dangerous situation after a relatively exciting social outing. The daily middle school troubles we witness her navigate quickly pale in comparison. Quite simply, Eighth Grade is an uncomfortable watch. There are feelgood moments and a few good laughs, but prepubescent anxiety is the main takeaway. Yet, watching Kayla enjoy some wins throughout her many losses proves rewarding and intimate to a certain degree. It’s hard to watch Eighth Grade without thinking back to your own youth. Kayla is not only her own distinct personality, but somehow a memory of all of us. (93 min.) —Ashley Ladin

Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Ol Parker (Now is Good, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) directs returning and new cast members in the sequel to the popular 2008 ABBA-centric musical-turned-movie Mamma Mia! In the first film, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is a bride-to-be who invites three of her mother, Donna’s (Meryl Streep) old flames to her wedding in an attempt to discover who her real father is. The sequel switches off between a time before and after the original film, focusing on both Sophie’s new life attempting to carry on her late mother’s hotel business and her mother Donna’s young life around the time of her pregnancy. Though the musical numbers are lively, they feel overproduced and a bit sanitized. The songs don’t fit the scenes as snugly as they did in the original, bringing up the question of how many storylines can (or should) be developed from the music of one 1970s Swedish pop group. There was something especially disappointing about reused songs from the first film. These recycled tracks were some of the best in the sequel, but still fell short of their original performances. Unfortunately, Mama Mia! Here We Go Again! does not re-create the original electricity of the first film, but rather provides a subtle warning for yet another largely nostalgia-driven, profit-seeking sequel. However, just because the film is unable to fully recapture the original magic does not mean it misses all the marks. (114 min.) —Ashley Ladin

hat’s the word? Grease! That word brings back memories of singing—a lot of singing—along to an ultimately raunchy tale of high school love performed by, as one of my friends put it, “a bunch of 30-year-olds pretending to be teenagers.” But I still love it. And I still think John Travolta is a total babe in it. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, it still holds the same charm for me as it did when I was 14. For 20 years, I’ve watched, sang, and spoken the lines of this movie, fighting with myself over its perceived sexism, which might actually be the ultimate struggle to find yourself as you attempt to be the person you think someone else wants you to be.

The Palm In this truth-is-stranger-thanfiction documentary directed by Tim Wardle, in 1980, three 19-year-old strangers discover they’re identical triplets separated at birth. Their unlikely reunion leads to notoriety, but as they learn more about the circumstances of their separation, questions arise involving ethics and human nature. Bobby Shafran heads off to community college and is surprised that everyone he meets greets him like an old friend, smiling, waving, asking him how his summer was. People keep calling him Eddy, and he soon discovers that he’s got a doppelganger. A friend of Eddy’s puts the two on the phone together, and they discover they’re both adopted and both have the same birthday. In short order, Bobby’s reunited with his brother, believing they were twins. The feel-good story becomes even harder to believe after Bobby and Eddy’s story winds up in the news, and then a third brother, David, comes forward. The three are instant celebrities. They wind up on talk shows, in papers and magazines, and people marvel at how similar they are even though different families raised them. Their speech patterns, mannerisms, even their preferred cigarettes are eerily similar. Even more important, they’re delighted to reunite—long-lost brothers together again. If that were the whole story, that’d be amazing and worthy of a documentary in and of itself, but as the brothers—and their respective parents—look deeper into the

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom) helms this documentary biopic about beloved cardigan-clad children’s TV host Fred Rogers. It’s easy to dismiss Fred Rogers as “just” a children’s TV host, and a sappy, lowbudget one at that, but this documentary reveals just how deeply he cared about children; how hard he worked at helping children through topical issues such as Robert Kennedy’s assassination, divorce, and war; and how seriously he took his role as host of positive children’s programming as foil to what he saw as bad role modeling and encouragement of humanity’s baser instincts in other kids’ programs. What makes the film even more poignant is its depiction of Rogers at his lowest. Looking at our culture today, it’s clear his message didn’t prevail. Still, his message was a worthy one and remains so today. Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is a wonderful celebration of a wonderful man who touched countless lives and exemplified a life well lived.

Check out the sandy shore at Jalama Beach County Park

he interesting thing about San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties is that there are so many county parks scattered across them with camping amenities. These parks make the perfect day or weekend trip if you’re prepped for a sleepover adventure. After a couple of Google searches, I found Jalama Beach in Santa Barbara County. It’s nicely tucked away on the coast between Lompoc and Gaviota, down the winding Jalama Road. It’s a good hour-and-a-half to two-hour drive, depending on traffic. I decided to check out the park in early July. There’s a $10 fee to enter, which I don’t mind handing over because I know it contributes to preserving the space for people to enjoy. The county park has plenty of amenities that include camping sites, parking, showers, a general store, and a playground for kids on top of the beautiful beach. The story behind the beach is that it was once a Chumash Indian settlement named “Halama.” In 1943, about 24 acres

Doc’s super sweet 15

@flavorslo YUMMY ALL OVER Over the past 15 years, Doc Burnstein’s has churned out dozens upon dozens of scoop flavors, plus shakes, ice cream cakes, and indulgent fudge.

Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Lab is set to celebrate its quinceañera by honoring first customer

t’s been almost 15 years since Aug. 22, 2003, the day Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream lab first opened its flagship shop in the Arroyo Grande Village. Sure, owner/founder Greg Steinberger was pumped to see his dream come to fruition. However, there was someone even more pumped about the opening on that hot summer afternoon. It was 11-year-old Jens Wagner, who held his own at the very front of the line. As Doc’s “honored first customer,” the sixth-grader knew he would be granted the mind-blowing privilege of creating his own flavor. That’s not all. His picture was taken for the local press, and he was able to scoop his own towering cone for all to see. You could say he was the envy of all his classmates at Branch Elementary School come fall. “He was big into basketball, so he made his own ‘Slam Dunk Chunk,’” Steinberger reminisces about that momentous day. “I remember that for the basketballs, we found round chocolate balls filled with peanut butter.” On Saturday, Aug. 18, 2018, Doc Burnstein’s will invite back that extra special guest scooper, now all grown up (still with a gnarly sweet tooth). The super sweet 15th birthday party includes 15 percent discounts for Doc’s loyalty customers, prizes, and the kind of theatrical shenanigans you’ve come to expect from the community-owned corporation helmed by a fictional mad ice cream scientist. A grand prize ticket will be rewarded to a randomly selected customer, granting a sought-after tour of the lab for 15 of the lucky winner’s closest friends and family, with the opportunity to invent a new flavor and meet “The Doc” himself. If you ask Wagner—now a Bay Area high school chemistry teacher—there is no greater way to spend a summer afternoon. Whether it’s 2003 or 2018, the same butterflies float in his tummy. “Doc’s is still the one place I must visit whenever I come home to Arroyo Grande,” he said. “I have such fond memories of waiting in line on that hot August day, to scooping my very own Slam Dunk Chunk, to seeing a student of mine working behind the counter.” Yes, you can even try Wagner’s “vintage” Slam Dunk Chunk this Aug. 18 for one day only, scooped by the big kid himself. The flavor is pretty damn near exact to the 2003 version, with the exception of one thing: “We couldn’t find those peanut butter balls, so we’re using malt balls,”

We all scream! LASTING LEGACY Doc Burnstein’s founder/owner Greg Steinberger gives back to the community by giving blood. The company has continued to partner with United Blood Drives and incentivizes the practice by donating a pint of ice cream for every participant who donates a pint of blood.

Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Lab is located at 114 W. Branch St., Arroyo Grande; 860 Higuera St., San Luis Obispo; and 725 E. Betteravia St., Santa Maria. Hours are Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11a.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, go to docburnsteins.com.

A LITTLE SWEETNESS Make a Wish recipient Maysie creates her own ice cream flavor at Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Lab. Her creation, “Unicorn Swirl,” features strawberries, pie crust, and a white cake batter ice cream. Every scoop sold delivers 25 cents to the foundation.

Steinberger said with a chuckle. “Of course, there’s still the chocolate and caramel swirl Jens chose, because, well, who doesn’t like chocolate and caramel?” This is a good question, and one that cuts to the heart of the Doc Burnstein’s all-American brand. Although you can now find gluten free options, and soon a few new vegan options, you will never find “rosemary-tarragon” on the menu. “People want to try unique flavors, but they also want to come back to what they love. We are more of a traditional ice cream experience. Ice cream, for me, is about remembering what I had when I was a kid,” Steinberger said.

IT’S ALIVE Kids can get a riveting interactive ice cream experience at Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Lab in Santa Maria, where—after a few tugs on a lever—a life-size “Frankencone” springs to life.

In general, Doc’s ice cream boasts a higher cream content, and the flavors tend to feature real fruit but also comfort food mix-ins like Oreo cookie crumbles (note: seriously, not organic). That said, Doc’s isn’t behind the times. The corporation is currently working to create a more local supply chain that will reduce impact on the environment. The most important element we’ve all come to know from this wacky ice cream brand? I’d say, “Surprise.” The newly opened Santa Maria location has been designed to delight in more ways than flavor. Kids can now get a riveting interactive ice cream experience—after

a few tugs on a lever and the addition of some “mystery ingredients,” a life-size “Frankencone” seems to come alive, flashing lights and springing forth with gusts of cold air. While the SLO location features a more modern, low-key vibe for students and tourists, Steinberger has always looked for ways to enchant young minds. The Arroyo Grande location—which features a toy train that chugs around the perimeter of the store—will premiere its own dazzling interactive Frankencone experience during the birthday celebration.

You can find a lot of surprising things at the downtown SLO Farmers’ Market these days. Ancient grains and superfoods you didn’t know you needed in your life? Sure! Cured meats, fine cheeses, and even growlers of craft beer? Heck yes! Your old high school boyfriend? Awkwardly true as well. However, you should not (at this point) be the least bit surprised to see bands rocking out on the Harvest Stage located in the Union Bank parking lot at Osos and Higuera. Savor the rest of your summer with chill tunes happening each Thursday eve from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. through Oct. 4. Beer and wine are always available for purchase from Central Coast Brewing and wine from Chamisal Vineyards, and the concert itself (like Farmers’ market) is always free! Sorry, I can’t help you with making conversation with your ex’s kids. Just stuff your mouth full of fresh strawberries and slowly back away. For a full schedule of concerts and bands, go to downtownslo.com. ∆

You could say Steinberger wears his greatest influence—the great, fictional, purple-top-hat-wearing character—on his sleeve. “When I started the business, I was trying to think of what my model would be, and Willy Wonka was part of that. What we offer has a nostalgic feel, but is also totally creative and whimsical,” he said, adding that the store even gives out “golden tickets” printed on gold foil reminiscent of the 1971 classic movie. These tickets offer up free ice cream, but also something else. “I like to say, ‘We aren’t in the ice cream business. We’re in the memories business,’” Steinberger said (touché, that is a very Wonka thing to proclaim). And while the real Willy Wonka—as crafted by adult-shaming Roald Dahl—is kind of off-kilter and maybe even a little deranged, “The Doc” is most certainly a benevolent leader. From partnering with nonprofits to put on much-needed blood drives to offering a Make a Wish Campaign that raised about $15,000 (enough for three wishes for kids with life-threatening illnesses), to giving back to the community as a registered benefit corporation—there is a lot of sweetness to go around. Perhaps this is how Doc’s creates not just customers, but die-hard fans. The kind of fans that would travel hundreds of miles just to take part in a 15th anniversary party. Wagner is prepping his scooping arm as we speak. He’s ready for the task, and the gloating that he’ll still be able to do. “This event really highlights the strong community within Arroyo Grande. I don’t think you would see this in a big city,” Wagner said of the honor. “SLO County, Arroyo Grande, and especially the Village: These are hallmarks of our awesome community.” ∆

FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT

BASIS FOR THE PROPOSED RATE INCREASES The Proposed Rate Increases are necessary for the Garbage Service to continue to provide safe and reliable solid waste removal, transportation and disposal services to the citizens of California Valley CSD. The increases requested are due to increased operational costs. Several factors have contributed to these increased costs, including, but not limited to, the rising costs associated with the operation of the Garbage Service, increased costs associated with operation and fuel for vehicles, ongoing maintenance, increased labor costs, and increased costs associated with meeting more stringent State and Federal regulations. ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO PROPOSED RATE INCREASE The District provides that revenue derived from rates should reasonably be expected to generate sufficient revenues to provide for Garbage compensation as calculated in accordance with the “City of San Luis Obispo Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates”. The Proposed Rate Increase Resolution, to be considered by the District Board of Directors on 7-13-2018, would authorize the District, without conducting a majority protest hearing, to adjust solid waste disposal rates annually based on findings: • That the requested increase is limited to the Garbage Service increased costs of providing services consistent with the City of San Luis Obispo’s Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates; and • Does not exceed the prior twelve (12) month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. PROTEST: Under Proposition 218, if you are the owner of record of a parcel or parcels directly liable for payment of the garbage bill, you may submit a written protest against the proposed changes presented in the notice. Only one protest will be counted towards the majority protest per affected property. If written protests are filed by a majority of the affected owners, the proposed rate increase will not be imposed. Oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest. Written protests regarding the proposed solid waste rate increase may be mailed to: CVCSD C/O SHIPSEY AND SEITZ INCORPORATED, ATTORNEY AT LAW 1066 PALM STREET SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93401 To be valid a protest must be in writing and received BEFORE the close of the public hearing on AUGUST 27, 2018. If you have questions about the Proposed Rate Increase, please call the District at (805) 475-2211. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ ------------------

Hearing to consider a request by Orcutt Broad, LLC and Erksine Property Trust for a Vesting Tentative Tract Map (Tract 2429) and Conditional Use Permit (S000323U) for a Major Agricultural Cluster Subdivision to subdivide an existing 299-acre parcel into 13 residential parcels of approximately one acre each and one agriculture/ open space parcel of approximately 285 acres. The total allowable development area, which would include the proposed residential lots and roadway infrastructure, would be approximately 15 acres (five percent of the gross site area). The proposed residential lots would be clustered in the southern portion of the site. The project includes off-site road improvements to Greystone Place. The project will result in the disturbance of approximately two acres for subdivision improvements and approximately 13 additional acres as a result of the development of the residential lots. The division will create one on-site road. The proposed project is within the Agriculture and Rural Lands land use categories and is located on the northwest side of Greystone Place, adjacent to the San Luis Obispo Golf and Country Club, approximately 2.5 miles south of the City of San Luis Obispo. The site is in the San Luis Obispo Subarea North of the San Luis Obispo planning area. Also to be considered at the hearing will be the approval of the environmental document prepared for the item. The Environmental Coordinator, after completion of the initial study, finds that there is evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, and therefore a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was prepared (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) for this project. The FEIR addresses potential impacts on: Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards/Hazardous Materials, Noise, Population/Housing, Public Services/Utilities, Recreation, Transportation/Circulation, Wastewater, Water, and Land Use. Mitigation measures are proposed to address these impacts and are included as conditions of approval. Anyone interested in commenting or receiving a copy of the proposed environmental determination should submit a written request. Comments will be accepted up until completion of the public hearing(s).

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a

LegaL Notices junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. 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 this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may visit the website below using the file number assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: If you could make money from doing exactly what you love to do, what would it be? Testify at freewillastrology.com. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Palestinian American writer Susan Abulhawa writes that in the Arab world, to say a mere “thank you” is regarded as spiritless and ungenerous. The point of communicating gratitude is to light up with lively and expressive emotions that respond in kind to the kindness bestowed. For instance, a recipient may exclaim, “May Allah bless the hands that give me this blessing,” or “Beauty is in the eyes that find me beautiful.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I propose that you experiment with this approach. Be specific in your praise. Be exact in your appreciation. Acknowledge the unique mood and meaning of each rich exchange.

TAURUS

(us)

35,000 18,000

(April 20-May 20): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you need this advice from mythologist Joseph Campbell: “Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.” He says it’s “a rescue land ... some field of action where there is a spring of ambrosia—a joy that comes from inside, not something external that puts joy into you—a place that lets you experience your own will and your own intention and your own wish.” Do you have such a place, Taurus? If not, now is a great time to find one. If you do, now is a great time to go there for a spell and renew the hell out of yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When he was 20 years old, future U.S. President Thomas Jefferson had an awkward encounter with a young woman who piqued his interest. He was embarrassed by the gracelessness he displayed. For two days afterward, he endured a terrible headache. We might speculate that it was a psychosomatic reaction. I bring this up because I’m wondering if your emotions are also trying to send coded messages to you via your body. Are you aware of unusual symptoms or mysterious sensations? See if you can trace them back to their source in your soul.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There’s a zone in your psyche where selfishness overlaps generosity, where the line between being emotionally manipulative and gracefully magnanimous almost disappears. With both hope and trepidation for the people in your life, I advise you to hang out in that grey area for now. Yes, it’s a risk. You could end up finessing people mostly for your own good and making them think it’s mostly for their own good. But the more likely outcome is that you will employ ethical abracadabra to bring out the best in others, even as you get what you want, too.

(July 23-Aug. 22): You probably gaze at the sky enough to realize when there’s a full moon. But you may not monitor the heavenly cycles closely enough to tune in to the new moon, that phase each month when the lunar orb is invisible. We astrologers regard it as a ripe time to formulate fresh intentions. We understand it to be a propitious moment to plant metaphorical seeds for the desires you want to fulfill in the coming four weeks. When this phenomenon happens during the astrological month of Leo, the potency is intensified for you. Your next appointment with this holiday is Aug. 10 and 11.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In her poem “Dogfish,” Virgo poet Mary Oliver writes, “I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it.” Why? Because she wanted her life “to open like a hinge, like a wing.” I’m happy to tell you, Virgo, that you now have more power than usual to make your past go away. I’m also pleased to speculate that as you perform this service for yourself, you’ll be skillful enough to preserve the parts of your past that inspire you, even as you shrink and neutralize memories that drain you. In response to this good work, I bet your life will open like a hinge, like a wing—no later than your birthday, and most likely before that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran fashion writer Diana Vreeland

(1903-1989) championed the beauty of the strong nose. She didn’t approve of women wanting to look like “piglets and kittens.” If she were alive today, she’d be pleased that nose jobs in the U.S. have declined 43 percent since 2000. According to journalist Madeleine Schwartz writing in Garage magazine, historians of rhinoplasty say there has been a revival of appreciation for the distinctive character revealed in an unaltered nose. I propose, Libra, that in accordance with current astrological omens, we extrapolate some even bigger inspiration from that marvelous fact. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to celebrate and honor and express pride in your idiosyncratic natural magnificence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Maybe happiness is this: not feeling like you should be elsewhere, doing something else, being someone else.” This definition, articulated by author Isaac Asimov, will be an excellent fit for you between now and Sept. 20. I suspect you’ll be unusually likely to feel at peace with yourself and at home in the world. I don’t mean to imply that every event will make you cheerful and calm. What I’m saying is that you will have an extraordinary capacity to make clear decisions based on accurate appraisals of what’s best for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’ve compiled a list of new blessings you need and deserve during the next 14 months. To the best of my ability, I will assist you to procure them. Here they are: a practical freedom song and a mature love song; an exciting plaything and a renaissance of innocence; an evocative new symbol that helps mobilize your evolving desires; escape from the influence of a pest you no longer want to answer to; insights about how to close the gap between the richest and poorest parts of yourself; and the cutting of a knot that has hindered you for years.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It has become clear to me that I must either find a willing nurturer to cuddle and nuzzle and whisper sweet truths with me for six hours or else seek sumptuous solace through the aid of eight shots of whiskey.” My Capricorn friend Tammuz confided that message to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were feeling a comparable tug. According to my assessment of the Capricorn zeitgeist, you acutely need the revelations that would become available to you through altered states of emotional intelligence. A lavish whoosh of alcohol might do the trick, but a more reliable and effective method would be through immersions in intricate, affectionate intimacy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Not even 5 percent of the world’s population lives in a complete democracy. Congratulations to Norway, Canada, Australia, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Sweden. Sadly, three countries where my column is published—the U.S., Italy, and France—are categorized as “flawed democracies.” Yet they’re far better than the authoritarian regimes in China and Russia. (Source: The Economist.) I offer this public service announcement as a prelude to your homework assignment. According to my astrological analysis, you will personally benefit from working to bring more democracy into your personal sphere. How can you ensure that people you care about feel equal to you, and have confidence that you will listen to and consider their needs, and believe they have a strong say in shaping your shared experiences?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Mystic poet Kabir wrote, “The flower blooms for the fruit: when the fruit comes, the flower withers.” He was invoking a metaphor to describe his spiritual practice and reward. The hard inner work he did to identify himself with God was the blooming flower that eventually made way for the fruit. The fruit was his conscious, deeply felt union with God. I see this scenario as applicable to your life, Pisces. Should you feel sadness about the flower’s withering? It’s fine to do so. But the important thing is that you now have the fruit. Celebrate it! Enjoy it! ∆
