A bad night in downtown SLO results in a liquor license suspension and rape allegations
W
hat started as a typical night out in December 2017 ended with a local bar temporarily losing its liquor license and an investigation into multiple reports of sexual assault and burglary. SLO Brew closed its Higuera Street doors on July 18 for the first day of its 20-day alcoholic beverage license suspension, a penalty handed down by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, for an underage drinking incident that occurred in the bar a year and a half earlier. Almost immediately after the closure, rumors spread about why. Most of those tales were spun about an underage drinker who was allegedly assaulted by an Uber driver after leaving SLO Brew. Documents reveal that may be close to what happened. According to Alcoholic Beverage Control documents, a SLO Brew employee “caused or permitted” two underage individuals, Ezra Henderson and an anonymous Jane Doe, to consume alcoholic beverages in the bar on Dec. 17, 2017. That same night, an underage woman, listed as Sabrina Doe in court documents, claims she went to SLO Brew and drank with an ofage friend, Shannon Doe, where both women became so intoxicated that they decided to take an Uber home before 10 p.m. Both women allege in court documents that they were then sexually assaulted by an unknown man, thought by investigators to be Uber driver Alfonso Alarcon-Nunez, a Santa Maria man who is currently facing 12 felony charges—including rape by use of drugs, first degree burglary, forcible rape, grand theft of personal property, and assault—in multiple separate incidents where women across the Central Coast say they were sexually assaulted and stolen from while nearly or completely unconscious. Despite a Public Records Act request to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and multiple requests for comment and information from the San Luis Obispo Police

Shannon Doe, had multiple drinks at home on Dec. 17, 2017, before heading out to SLO Brew. There, the women allegedly met a group of men who bought Sabrina Doe a drink. Shannon Doe, who was older than 21 in December 2017, was a SLO Brew employee at the time, the detective confirmed. Although she had worked a shift at the bar earlier that day, she was off-duty when she and Sabrina Doe went out later that night. Hamish Marshall, a co-owner of SLO Brew, initially said in a phone interview with New Times that the suspension did not involve a SLO Brew employee, but in a subsequent interview he said that an off-duty employee was caught on camera handing an underage individual a drink. Everyone involved was fired immediately, Marshall said.

Detectives claim they were able to link that Facebook page with Alarcon-Nunez, and when police searched AlarconNunez’s home, they allegedly found electronics that had been reported stolen by various women on the Central Coast. Police also say they recovered videos of “Sabrina intoxicated laying on a couch on her side” without pants or underwear on, of Shannon Doe and a man engaged in sexual activity, and other videos and photos of a nude woman who appeared to be unconscious.

Santa Barbara prosecutors, 805 Beach Breaks owner reach settlement
The co-founder of 805 Beach Breaks dispensary in Grover Beach is free of criminal charges after he reached a settlement agreement last month with the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office. Brian Touey, who opened 805 Beach Breaks in 2018 as the first brick-andmortar cannabis store in San Luis Obispo County, agreed to give up his Santa Barbara County cultivation license and $32,000 in profits as part of the settlement, according to the DA’s Office. Prosecutors had charged Touey with felony perjury following a March 28 Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office raid of a large Los Alamos cannabis grow, in which Touey was one of three growers involved. Deputies seized products from 805 Beach Breaks as part of the probe, though the Grover Beach Police Department later cleared the dispensary of wrongdoing in a separate investigation. The sticking point in the Santa Barbara case was whether the DA’s Office could prove that Touey had committed perjury on documents that stated cannabis was grown at the site before 2016, which was necessary to obtain a growing license. The county alleged it wasn’t true. But ultimately, the out-of-court settlement provided a resolution for both sides. “From the county’s standpoint, we wanted him to no longer grow in Santa Barbara County and we wanted the grow terminated immediately,” Santa Barbara County Deputy DA Lee Carter told New Times. “It doesn’t change the fact that the [cultivation] licenses weren’t valid.” Touey’s attorney, Robert Sanger, said he believed the negotiated agreement was a “fair” outcome. “As far as Mr. Touey is concerned, the case was dismissed and he has moved on,” Sanger said. The cases of the two other Los Alamos growers are still active, according to Lee. As a result of the case, Touey stepped away from his cultivation company, THC Farms, but he remains a co-owner of 805 Beach Breaks. The legal settlement doesn’t bar Touey or THC Farms from applying for new cultivation licenses—or any other cannabis industry licenses—in Santa Barbara County or elsewhere in the future. —Peter Johnson
Morro Bay Harbor’s residents could see a service fee increase
Morro Bay Harbor’s residents say they aren’t opposed to paying service fees, but they are against proposed fee increases for the use of harbor facilities. Anastasia Ruttschow, a liveaboard (meaning she lives on her boat) off Tidelands Park, spoke against the fee hikes during public comment at the Sept. 5 Morro Bay Harbor Advisory meeting, where the board was gathering community input about a potential increase in the monthly fees for mooring and city slips. Ruttschow said that the trash can designated for liveaboard use doesn’t open wide enough for a full bag of trash, so she doesn’t use that amenity. She also said that she only fills up her 118-gallon tank with water once a month. Her biggest issue is the shower at the public restroom site. She said that it isn’t reliable, the water is almost always cold, and she has to deposit a quarter for two minutes of use. “I would like to say that I don’t even feel safe using it at night,” Ruttschow said. “I have been in the shower at night, and men have come inside and knocked on my door, and it’s a bad situation to be in.” Several other public commenters echoed Ruttchow’s comments about minimal use of the services that they pay for and said they didn’t understand how the increase calculations were made. The current service fee for mooring is $17.40 per month, and the proposed rate would increase that to $90 to cover a portion of utilities, trash, bathroom maintenance, and pump-out station. The current service fee for city slips is $35.80, which could rise to $100 to cover electricity, water, trash, bathroom maintenance, dock maintenance, and a portion of the pump-out station. These more expensive fees are on top of the recommended increases to the liveaboard permit inspection fee, from $88 to $150, although liveaboard permit registration is proposed to decrease from $184 to $165.
6 • New Times • September 12 - September 19, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com
The proposed increases are part of a city-wide review of its current fee schedule, calculation of the total cost of fee-generating services, and the cost recovery levels for each fee. The advisory board elected to postpone its recommendation until a representative of the livaboards meets with the city about the fee structure and their concerns. —Karen Garcia
5 Cities Homeless buys new offices amid Hillside uncertainty
Janna Nichols, executive director of the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC), believes that the best way to overcome adversity is to keep moving. So, in May, when the nonprofit’s expansion plans at the Hillside Church property were derailed by a messy ownership dispute, Nichols didn’t dwell on it. “We have not paused,” she told New Times. “We have all sorts of irons in the fire.” On Aug. 30, Nichols and 5CHC closed escrow on a property at 100 South 4th St. in Grover Beach, where it plans to house its new headquarters. With help from a $2.6 million state grant, 5CHC acquired the land for $875,000. The new, bigger digs will allow it to enhance and expand services, namely case management. “This new office not only provides us a little more space, it provides us several more client meeting spaces,” Nichols explained. The building needs some renovations, so 5CHC’s move isn’t expected until early 2020. Until then, the organization, which serves those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, will continue at its current office on 1566 W. Grand Ave. Securing a new office space is one of three main objectives in the nonprofit’s expansion plan—which is being financially supported by the California Homeless Emergency Aid Program grant. The other two goals are to acquire space for affordable and transitional housing and find a location for an emergency
warming center. The full expansion was initially planned for the Hillside Church property on Newport Avenue, which 5CHC was in escrow to buy from the Christian and Missionary Alliance. But a swell of neighborhood opposition to the project, followed by litigation started over the church’s ownership, threw the plans into limbo. Nichols said 5CHC is actively looking for alternative locations for the housing and shelter aspects of the project. “While [Hillside Church is] still in litigation, we are obviously looking at other options to satisfy each component of our proposal,” Nichols said. 5CHC’s expansion is an indication of both the nonprofit’s growth and the increasing need for homeless services in the region. The decade-old 5CHC has come a long way since operating out of a 700-square-foot space, donated rent-free, for its first five years. The housing and homelessness crisis has only gotten worse since then, Nichols said. “Now we’re seeing over 1,000 families per year,” Nichols said. “My dream would be that we’d go out of business. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening. We’re seeing an increase of families needing assistance.” —Peter Johnson
Former employee sues Sierra Vista for discrimination
A former Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center employee alleges she was forced to leave her position because she requested accommodations for her medical needs. A complaint filed on Sept. 6 against Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center and Tenet Healthcare claims that the companies violated the California Family Rights Act by discriminating against former employee Kristin Hoover for taking family medical leave and retaliating against her because of it. Hoover was hired by Sierra Vista on July 22, 2013, as chief human resources officer, and she became pregnant with her first child in June 2017.

The complaint claims that Hoover suffered from extreme morning sickness and became depressed to the point where she had difficulty leaving the house, so she sought medical treatment and was diagnosed with severe antepartum depression, which her physician attributed to a hormonal imbalance related to her pregnancy. As a result of her diagnoses, the complaint claims that Hoover sought an accommodation for her disability and was given a reduced schedule and/ or worked remotely. During this time, the complaint states, both organizations frequently required Hoover to work more than her reduced hourly schedule and interrupted her after-work hours. In September 2017, Hoover returned to work full time until the birth of her daughter in February 2018. According to the complaint, during and after the birth of her child, while she was on a pregnancy disability leave, co-workers continually interrupted her leave with questions and requests for assistance. Hoover returned to work July 2018, with direction from her health care providers to work part time because she was still suffering from symptoms of depression and other medical conditions. When she returned to her position, the complaint states, turnover in her department and others resulted in Hoover doing the work of two positions on top of her own. The complaint claims Hoover was subjected to “extreme pressure” to return to full-time work and was repeatedly asked how long her condition was going to continue. In August 2018, Hoover returned full time but continued to suffer from postpartum depression and, with the added stress, was diagnosed with shingles, a pituitary tumor, and hypothyroidism, the complaint alleges. Hoover took another leave, during which she was contacted regarding workrelated issues, the complaint states. When she returned from her leave in March 2019, Hoover expressed concern about her health and workload, requesting fewer hours and permission to hire temporary help, which the hospital denied. On May 3, 2019—after being told she could work fewer hours once she helped Sierra Vista finish accreditation surveys—the complaint states that Hoover wasn’t allowed to take a part-time position and felt forced to resign due to her medical condition. She requested to be provided with a severance package since she had not chosen to leave her position, the complaint claims. Instead of addressing Hoover’s requests, the complaint alleges that on July 10, she was instructed to work the remainder of the day and a compliance officer would be at her desk to clean out her office, return her keys, and badge. New Times reached out to Sierra Vista but did not receive a response before press time. ∆ —Karen Garcia
BY KAREN GARCIA PHOTO COURTESY OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION SLO CHAPTER
SUPPORTIVE SPACE The Out of Darkness Walk is a safe place for friends and families to come together to honor their loved ones, talk, heal, and learn about suicide prevention.
A safe community C hristine Claxton’s son died by suicide seven years ago, and it took her a few years before she felt like she could talk about it. Five years later, Claxton said it dawned on her that her son’s story didn’t end on the day he died. Now, she gets to share it with members of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention SLO Chapter, legislators, and the community at large. “He’s taken me on a ride that we never expected; it’s great,” she said. Claxton volunteers with the foundation’s local chapter as a board member. American Foundation for Suicide Prevention focuses on four things: funding suicide prevention research, educating the community about prevention, advocating for public policy, and supporting those who struggle with suicide ideation and those who have lost someone to suicide. Claxton said that in order to fund all of those focus areas, the local chapters host the Out of Darkness Walk, planned this year for Oct. 12. Out of Darkness is a 2-mile walk around Downtown SLO that starts at Mission Plaza at 10 a.m., but it’s much more than that. There will be a resource fair, a quiet space complete with therapy dogs and soft music where attendees can relax if they feel overwhelmed, on-site counselors, and speakers before the walk commences. “What it really does is bring people together because people that are walking have some connection to suicide, whether they’ve struggled or they’ve lost someone,” she said. “The connections and healing that happens is amazing.” Cerra Himel’s favorite part about the walk is the beaded necklaces that attendees receive at the start of the event. Each color bead represents a friend or family member who has died by suicide. Some people wear one necklace and some wear multiple. At one point, Claxton will get on stage and ask the crowd to hold up their beads, one color at a time. “And she says, ‘Now take a look around,’ and it’s silent. In that moment, you have something so raw, real, and so intimate with all these strangers,” Himel said. “Without saying anything, you know
exactly what they’ve been through, and they know exactly what it’s like.” Himel describes it as a pause in the universe—to honor all of those who are gone and said it feels very powerful to her. She lost her brother to suicide when he was just 16 and she was about to turn 14. She said losing her brother was extremely tough because they were so close, but Himel decided she wanted to honor her brother by doing everything her brother wouldn’t be able to. Himel volunteered, pursued a double major in college, and currently works at Sierra Vista Regional. Himel didn’t find her true calling until she started working with Claxton on Out of Darkness—she’s participated in the walk for three years now. “The first year, there were 15 people, and last year there were 700 people. Every year it’s getting bigger, and all that shows is there’s people that want to talk about it,” she said. One of the main things to remember, Himel said, is no one is alone at the event or in the community. Plus, she added, there are resources, and no one has to share their personal story. It’s a safe place. Registration for the Out of Darkness Walk is free and donations will be accepted until Dec. 31. For more information, email cclaxton.afsp@gmail.com.

A convenient untruth Renewable energy is only a part-time solution
O
ur local Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham is proposing legislation to have nuclear power listed as a “renewable” energy source. It is rare and impressive to see a local politician with the strength and courage to swim against the relentless, California anti-nuclear riptide; to actually consider the senseless, disastrous effects that the closure will have on his constituency and the environment; and to show some regard for the benefits that Diablo Canyon Power Plant and nuclear power have bestowed upon our community and our fair state over decades. In fact, I am moved enough to consider giving him my vote, and I have not voted for a Republican since Teddy Roosevelt. On the other hand, there is a chance that being a “renewable” could further tarnish nuclear power’s already distorted and unfair reputation. After all, the majority of renewable production is nondispatchable, meaning it is unreliable and only available part of the time, while other renewables involve burning things, which is hardly in the spirit of cutting carbon emissions. Let’s face the facts. If we are ever going to be able to face up to the existential threat of climate change, we are going to have to change our ways. We have to find another path, and, most importantly, we have to choose the right path. The sad fact is the current renewable energy path, embodied in the Green New Deal and volumes of
HODIN
California legislation, simply will not work because part-time resources can only do part of the job. Solar power is great stuff: converting energy directly from the sun into useful electricity. The problem is that the sun can only produce that electricity about a third of the time and even less in the winter. Wind is slightly more flexible as it can produce power at varying levels around the clock; if the wind is blowing, of course, and depending on how hard it is blowing. There is some talk of storing up renewable power for use when it cannot be produced, which is most of the time, but so far, it is all talk. Besides, when and if an efficient means of storing solar and wind power is ever developed, its implementation will gobble up massive amounts of already strained resources and easily multiply the costs of solar and wind power production to the point that they will become far too expensive, and something else will end up providing the power. That something else will be fossil fuels by default. It happened after San Onofre, it happened in Germany, and it will happen here. The other issue is that without storage, wind and solar are only useful up to the point of maximum demand at the time they are produced. After that, any expansion of wind and solar capacity is essentially wasted, or even worse than wasted considering the needless
consumption of resources that will end up producing little or nothing. There are now strong signs that in California wind and solar are fast approaching their maximum efficient level of production. Beyond that point, continued subsidies for expansion of wind and solar capacity will be a waste of taxpayer and ratepayer dollars, and efforts like community choice energy rendered inane and useless, since they will have absolutely no effect on the power mix, which will continue to fall back on fossil fuels. Good people have been led to believe that wind and solar are the answer to our future, and that unlimited expansion of their capacity can provide all of our future energy needs. The great former pediatrician turned self-appointed energy guru Helen Caldicott once stated that 100 square miles of solar panels could power the world. Maybe so, if the sun should start shining directly over the 100 square miles 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not bloody likely. The truth is, the idea that wind and solar are the only answer is pure delusion. Yet the media and environmental groups eagerly propagate this delusion. Some established environmental groups do so because they are encouraged to by fossil-fuel donations, and fossilfuel companies buy a lot of media advertising. The California Democratic Party has embraced the delusion because it allows them to collect
campaign contributions from both fossilfuel interests and renewable interests. The delusion is useful because it preys on the average person’s fear for the future, and embracing the delusion gives people comfort that there is hope, and that they can do their part by paying only for clean energy (except nuclear). That way they can relax and focus on consuming more stuff. The fact is that wind and solar are, and always will be, only a part of the solution. The only other proven feasible, round-the-clock, non-carbon-emitting power production possibility is nuclear power. So, why then are we closing Diablo Canyon? Because we have fallen for the delusions of the likes of Helen Caldicott and anti-nuclear hysterics, the selfinterest of established environmental groups, and the greed and hypocrisy of the California Democratic Party. The Green New Deal is a delusion: a convenient untruth. Ultimately, should we continue on the present path, the only ones to really benefit will be the fossil-fuel interests and renewables contractors. Do you really think that will be a mere coincidence? We all need to wake up. ∆ Mark Henry writes from San Luis Obispo. Send comments to through clanham@ newtimesslo.com or write a letter for publication and email it to letters@ newtimesslo.com.

Opinion Enjoy your town, it’s pretty awesome
I need to chime in about the Sept. 5 feature “What’s up with downtown?” Here’s what’s wrong with downtown: All the “longtime” residents who are always complaining about what’s wrong with downtown! I moved here a little over a year ago, and I love SLO and live downtown. It’s an amazing, thriving, interesting, and wonderful place to live. I can walk to almost everything I need to live, shops of all kinds (not all are geared toward students and tourists), and restaurants and bars at every price point; my bank, post office, and FedEx; my phone carrier, drugstore, great coffee places, chiropractor/ healing services, entertainment of all kinds, nail and hair salons, Ross, gifts, peaceful places to rest, lovely furnishing stores, plant shops, and nice clothing I like (I’m older than 60), plus the incredible farmers’ market. My car stays parked for days at a time (saving fuel) while I get my exercise doing my errands! So the constant complaining from “locals” about how it’s not what it used to be really bothers me. Guess what? No place is always the same! There’s a big parking structure, and you can find a place to street park (especially in the mornings). It might be a block or two away, but get out and walk! Yesterday, I was pleased to see three new shops that I hadn’t seen before and other new ones coming. Businesses close for many reasons, usually bad management (that Branzino was a mess and way too expensive), and as for Vegetable Butcher? I never tried it because of the terrible name! It was totally unclear what they were doing with food. I never saw any advertising or press releases in New Times either. Ever heard of marketing? No, just more complaining about the hotel being built near them, which will eventually be a constant flow of new customers! As for homelessness, that is an awful problem everywhere, and SLO is addressing it in many ways. Meanwhile, be nice to them, give them a couple of bucks and smile! To all of you people who are whining about not liking the direction of downtown, you should thank your lucky stars and be grateful that you live in such a beautiful, thriving, desirable, and perfect-weather town! I know I am! P.S. The reason why this lovely place is so thriving and we get to live here in paradise is because of the colleges and the tourists. Stop complaining and start enjoying!

Natural-gas-fueled electricity
Here in California we are climate heroes, right? Just this week, several California agencies including the Energy Commission, the Public Utilities Commission, and the Air Resources Board hosted a public workshop on implementation of SB 100, which lays out California’s clean energy target of 100 percent by 2050. There was a lot of good discussion surrounding challenges to meeting this goal. Here are just a few: Many of the technologies proposed do not exist yet.
Letters This Week’s Online Poll VOTE AT WWW.NEWTIMESSLO.COM
What’s the first thought that comes to mind when you hear, WOW Week? 39% Avoid the downtown Farmers’ Market. 29% College kids doing dumb things. 17% Beautiful, intelligent, wide-eyed Cal Poly freshmen, of course! 15% Madness at Trader Joe’s. 85 Votes
Many of the low-carbon resources will be expensive to build and maintain. We have made progress with efficiency and conservation, but we will need a lot more electricity if we want to electrify other sectors to reduce emissions. But one topic was suspiciously missing from all discussion—our single largest source of carbon-free electricity: nuclear. While California claims to be at the forefront of energy policy and environmental leadership, our in-state electricity sector is still more than 45 percent natural gas. That means that our electric cars are really at least 45 percent natural gas cars, and our electric stoves are really at least 45 percent natural gas stoves. And yes, if you use grid power this applies to you, even if you have solar panels on your roof, even if you have no natural gas appliances in your house (gasp). Getting off of natural gas means we need to have a clean electricity supply in the wait, not a more than 45 percent natural gas electricity grid, spewing carbon and methane into our atmosphere. It is clear that we need more carbonfree energy, and we need it now. While the climate crisis worsens and air pollution continues to kill millions of people every year, we see the premature closure of carbon-free nuclear energy as a step in the wrong direction. We applaud Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) for taking a bold step to save California’s single largest source of carbon-free energy. By including nuclear in California’s definition of “renewables,” Assemblymember Cunningham’s proposed constitutional amendment will help expand and protect California’s options for reducing emissions. And by making this proposal, he acknowledges that we don’t have to wait until 2030 to start trying. Kristin Zaitz and Heather Hoff Matteson Mothers for Nuclear co-founders San Luis Obispo
Thanks for helping us grow food
On behalf of Pacheco Elementary School’s first graders, I thank One Cool Earth, the Harold J. Miossi Charitable Trust, and Susan Rodriguez State Farm Insurance, which enabled us to have a delightful and important educational experience—a new school garden!

My first grade students and I love the garden! We had many lessons with Miss Ali, One Cool Earth’s garden educator. She inspired our students to love nature, understand where food comes from, and realize the importance of microorganisms and other critters. First graders got to dig, plant seeds and starts, and eat vegetables that they helped cultivate. And what a thrill that was to watch, especially seeing pure joy in the reaction of some students who had never experienced anything like this! In a world where many children eat mostly fast food and see scary things on the news and violent video games, their enthusiasm for being outdoors and learning about nature was refreshing and beautiful. Early on the first morning back after summer break I was standing admiring the garden when a small girl came up to me and said, “Did you see how big our plants got?” And then she added proudly, “We did that!” Lisa Ajanel Pacheco Elementary School first grade teacher San Luis Obispo
We couldn’t do it without your support
Countless local youth are empowered by mentors who support and nurture their growth. Kindergarten through 12th grade mentoring programs have been shown to be a cost-effective way of empowering students by boosting factors that can lead to student success, including school-related attitudes, behaviors, and performance. In addition,
our program offers a focused nutrition component that helps our youth learn about healthy food choices while supporting food insecure families, which is a problem faced by 45 percent of the children we serve. Last school year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County’s School Based Mentoring Program served almost 200 students through the generosity of our volunteers and donors like The Harold J. Miossi Charitable Trust, which has supported the program with $140,000 in funding. Since 2012, Mr. Miossi’s legacy has ignited the hope and promise of youth, allowing us to double our impact by serving two youth with every mentor match. The elementary-age student who receives support and guidance and the high school- or college-age mentor who has an opportunity to learn leadership and impact their community. The best outcome is that 61 percent of young people participating in our program saw an improvement in their scholastic competency. We are especially grateful to The Harold J. Miossi Charitable Trust and all of our program sponsors who ensure school children have meaningful access to empowering mentoring relationships that improve their outlook for the future and our local community.

Defending sandcastles
A
s a young boy on an Atlantic beach, building a sandcastle was mandatory, just as defending it from the encroaching ocean waves required ever more elaborate defenses. Moats, walls, even shells and pebbles from the surf, were required to buttress the mighty fortress walls. When completed, it truly appeared invincible, until the first small wave of surf made contact with the moat, which immediately filled with water. The next wave of the relentlessly advancing tide began to systematically erode my elaborate defenses despite desperate attempts to replace cracks in the walls with more buckets of sand. Finally, a large wave demolished the outer walls, and a following wave submerged my fortress under a half foot of water. All that was left was a wet lump where once stood, I thought, a mighty fortress against the sea. So, too, will be the fate of the climate hysteria foisted upon the American people by an uncritical and unthinking media. On Sept. 4, CNN hosted what I am calling a seven-hour climate apocalypse propaganda epic, leading Democrat presidential candidates by the nose down the road of climate hysteria, demanding promises to “fight climate change.” The advance of Hurricane Dorian in the background provided excellent fodder for those promulgating climate alarmism and impending doom: “Only 11 years left to act

before it’s too late … .” Unfortunately for CNN, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) pointed out via its Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, that after reviewing the research on global warming and hurricanes in August, “It is premature to conclude with high confidence that human activities—and particularly greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming—have already had a detectable impact on hurricane activity.” The late Dr. William Grey, considered the foremost hurricane authority in America, had repeatedly echoed similar statements chastising both media and academics who misused hurricane research to push climate change agendas. He said that historical data did not support the assertion that hurricanes were more frequent, more powerful, or more dangerous than in the past or that greenhouse gas emissions played any significant role in hurricane activity or landfalls. We’ve had many hurricanes in the past equally or more powerful than anything we’ve experienced in the last several decades without the presence of elevated greenhouse gas emissions. The problem with the current reporting is a lack of historical perspective or even interest in what has historically occurred. Our record-keeping database is only 140 years old and only fairly accurate since the 1970s when satellite coverage came into routine
use in hurricane detection and tracking. Geologists doing lakebed research in hurricane-prone areas have actually detected evidence of massive hurricanes making landfall more frequently and with considerably more power 1,000 to 2,000 years ago (Dr. Roy Spencer, Inevitable Disasters, chapter 7.1, “Evidence of Catastrophic Hurricanes from Ancient Lake Sediments”). Why they were more powerful or more frequent in making landfall is still a scientific mystery. Looking back just a few centuries from the time North America was first colonized in the 1600s is a stark record of major hurricanes striking the East Coast and Gulf Coast of America. According to Dr. Spencer’s book Inevitable Disasters, some of those hurricanes were exceptional for their strength, the frequency with which the same location was hit, and the re-shaping of the coastline that resulted. “Obviously, these hurricanes were not influenced by humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions,” he states. The 1935 Labor Day hurricane was the strongest hurricane known to strike America, but nearly 300 years previously, almost to the day (Aug. 25, 1635) a major hurricane struck New England. The storm, with 130 mph winds, produced a storm surge between 14 and 22 feet and killed at least 46 members of the sparsely populated settlements, including a number of Native
Americans (Brian R. Hall, Harvard University). David Ludlam’s book, Early American Hurricanes 1492-1870, records many major hurricanes occurring in Colonial America of equal strength and ferocity, again long before any major use of fossil fuels could have an impact upon the climate. The most deadly hurricane to strike North America was the September 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston, Texas, virtually without warning as documented in the book Isaac’s Storm, which killed between 6,000 to 12,000 people. It was a storm with a nearly 20-foot storm surge. The conflicting messages from the Weather Bureau resulted in the island not being evacuated, and the public was caught unaware until it was too late. Again, no greenhouse gases were around to impact this storm. CNN did a major disservice to America with its promotion of climate hysteria, but it did a political service in revealing the ignorance-driven agendas of Democratic presidential candidates. Each candidate seemed to desire or advocate for ever more radical solutions to “fight climate change,” including a total ban on fossil fuels, offshore drilling, and more. No hurricane will ever do as much damage to America as the ignorance and venality of political opportunists feeding upon the fears of a misinformed public. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35-year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

“
ew Times is such a liberal rag, a leftwing propaganda apparatchik! Only good for wrapping old fish and lining birdcages!” “New Times is such a rightwing white noise machine! Close-mindedly goosestepping toward fascism!” This, gentle readers, is how I know we’re doing something right! Everyone thinks we’re wrong, unfair, or obfuscating the truth any time they read anything they disagree with! Well get over it! New Times has always worked hard to air all points of view and offer all sides of a story. Take reporter Karen Garcia’s story “Concerned parents” (Aug. 29) on California’s Senate Bill 277, which eliminates personal belief exceptions for vaccines. Even though about 75 percent of the story chronicled parents’ objections to the law or their claims that vaccinations are dangerous compared to the 25 percent that offered the government’s assertions that vaccinations are in fact safe, that didn’t stop anti-vaxxers’ heads from exploding! Garcia, who used first names of interview subjects to protect their privacy, got a letter from her subject, “Nicole,” who in the story took up fully half of it with her opinions. Nicole wrote Garcia to say it was “sad to see so much of the text devoted to Pharma propaganda that vaccines are safe, injury is rare, and safety studies are rigorous.”
Um, Nicole, that’s the way reporting works. You get to have your say and then the other side gets to have their say, and hopefully the reading public can figure out which side is rational and which side listens to 1993 Playboy magazine Playmate of the Year Jenny McCarthy. We report, you decide. There are people who literally can’t get vaccines because of serious medical conditions, and these people depend on herd immunity—the idea that they’re safe because everyone who can get vaccinated does, thus reducing the risk of, say, a measles outbreak at Disneyland, the Happiest Place on Earth. Herd immunity isn’t government or Big Pharma propaganda; it’s science! There are desperate parents all over the world who wish they could afford to vaccinate their children, but here in the U.S., thanks to the success of vaccinations, some of us have forgotten what polio does to a child. I don’t know if anti-vaxxers believe in the World Health Organization (WHO), or if they think they’re part of the so-called vaccination conspiracy, but WHO estimates vaccines have prevented more than 10 million deaths between 2010 and 2015. I know you have an agenda, Nicole, but Garcia’s story would have been a disservice to our readers if it had ignored pro-vaccination arguments. Last week, New Times reporter Kasey

She wrote about closing businesses, the frustrations of groups like Save Our Downtown, and the city’s attempts to encourage a downtown that welcomes everyone. Bubnash also interviewed Bettina Swigger, CEO of the Downtown SLO Association, letting her have her say, but that didn’t stop Swigger from writing to complain, “New Times, what gives? This cover story didn’t hit the mark. Your office is downtown. You know what’s going on. Businesses come, and businesses go. After lengthy careers, people deserve to retire. And in a free market, sometimes businesses aren’t successful. That’s the breaks. “And while it is true that there are some vacancies downtown, there’s a much more compelling story to be told about how downtown San Luis Obispo is thriving,” Swigger continued. “In fact, since January, more than 30 new businesses opened in downtown San Luis Obispo. Astonishingly, 20 of those are LOCALLY-OWNED.” Um, yeah, that’s why Bubnash quoted YOU in the article saying that VERY THING! You got to do your job and talk up how great downtown SLO is, and other people got to air their criticisms
and concerns. It’s called “reporting.” “Could we shine a light on how our local community supports those businesses?” Swigger asked. “Boo Boo Records celebrates its 45th anniversary this year.” Yes, we could! In fact, we did! New Times music columnist Glen Starkey wrote all about Boo Boo’s anniversary in “Be independent” (Aug. 22). Ms. Swigger, it’s not New Times’ job to be a cheerleader for downtown. That’s your job! Our job is to report on what’s going on in the community, like the fact that the old Rileys Department Store building on the corner of Marsh and Chorro has been empty for years! Listen, people, when you open New Times, you might find yourself reading something you disagree with, like this column or anything Al Fonzi happens to cut and paste from Breitbart News Network or the Drudge Report. Don’t panic! Take a deep breath. Just because New Times lets Fonzi palaver on about right-wing histrionics doesn’t mean we’re a right wing newspaper. It means we’re a newspaper that publishes diverse opinions. Feel free to write a letter to the editor.

Getting trashed As students move, abandoned furniture builds up on SLO’s curbs, and cleaning it up is no small task BY KASEY BUBNASH
C
hristine Wallace is just glad kids aren’t lighting their couches on fire anymore. Wallace is the neighborhood outreach manager for the San Luis Obispo Police Department, and keeping the city’s neighborhoods clean and safe is her main charge. Just a few years ago, flaming abandoned couches were one of her biggest concerns. Year after year, at least one student towed a beer-stained couch out into the street, doused it in gasoline, and lit a match. The couch fires had long been an unwritten end-of-year tradition for some Cal Poly students, but by 2011, it was becoming dangerously popular. Around that time, the city made neighborhood wellness a priority in its budget. Wallace and her team launched a stern education and media campaign against the couch burnings, with one key message: If you burn your couch, you’ll be caught and charged with felony arson. The SLO Police Department found that if couches aren’t left out for long, they won’t be tampered with. The department coordinated with San Luis Garbage and set up an online reporting system where city staffers can report couches or piles of furniture they see out on curbs. A “roving trash truck” with no particular route is readily available for those pickups, Wallace said. San Luis Garbage also aligned its Cleanup Weeks, when the company picks up extra trash and discarded furniture items at a discounted price, with the busiest lease turnover times for college students. One Cleanup Week is scheduled for late June and another for early September, and although that’s not when everyone in the city is moving, Wallace said, “that’s when the majority of the junk we were dealing with was happening.” There hasn’t been a couch burning in more than three years, according to Wallace, but the sheer volume of furniture left out at the beginning and end of the

In many cases, Wallace said those kids are left by their roommates to move couches and other miscellaneous furniture alone. “So by the time they get to the end of that space,” Wallace said, “there’s exhaustion, apathy, and definitely there are maybe some lack of resources getting it to the thrift store.” Come early June and September, grimy mattresses, coffee tables, and chairs that couldn’t be sold pile up on curbs. Broken lamps, fans, and bookshelves spill out from the dumpsters of apartment complexes. Weathered couches end up abandoned in empty fields and on sidewalks, hiding behind “free” signs scrawled out on cardboard. Twice a year every year, San Luis Garbage collects roughly 240 tons of material from the street, according to Peter Cron, a sales representative at Coastal Rolloff who has worked in waste management for years. “If it’s out, we pick it up,” Cron said. “That’s what we do.” Even with the increased manpower, added routes, and additional flatbed and garbage trucks that hit the streets during Cleanup Weeks, Cron said the city still faces its share of challenges. It’s not just college students who use, and sometimes abuse, Cleanup Weeks, but Cron said where students are involved, the city ends up hauling whole living rooms and bedrooms to the dump.

MUSICAL CHAIRS Abandoned chairs and a couch await Cleanup Week at a house on Mill Street.
Each residence is limited to 12 additional bags of trash free of charge, a maximum that is often surpassed, and San Luis Garbage will take only two bulky items— TVs, couches, water heaters, washers—at the discounted price of $10 each. Extra items are more costly. Some residents put their trash out too far ahead of Cleanup Weeks, creating code enforcement issues and general confusion, and many others don’t call to schedule pickups for their bulky items as required by the garbage company, which Cron said makes it difficult to know which crews and trucks should be going to which residences. San Luis Garbage recycles what it can, and different items require different equipment. Knowing ahead of time what will be needed during Cleanup Week is helpful, Cron said. “It’s really difficult,” he said, “and it’s something we’ve struggled with over the years.” Billing is one of the more daunting tasks the city faces during moving season. If the trash maximums are surpassed during Cleanup Weeks or if

furniture items are left out any other time of the year, the city automatically bills the owner of the house or apartment complex where the trash was found. If items are cleared out of empty fields or vacant lots, the city itself foots the bill. For property management companies and landlords, tenant move-outs tend to be a raw deal. Becca Boyd, an office assistant at McNamara Realty, said that if the property management company is billed for additional trash cleanup at a house, where it’s obvious who left the garbage, McNamara will automatically charge the tenants. But if the bill is for an apartment complex dumpster, it’s almost impossible to know who left the trash, and McNamara pays. McNamara tries to discourage its tenants from leaving furniture behind, but with more than 350 properties, it’s difficult to enforce. To keep trash off the streets and continue the arson-free Cleanup Weeks, the city is trying to find a way to make it easier for students to donate unwanted furniture. Cal Poly University Housing is working on a similar initiative, and in June, the university collected more than 8 tons of food, clothing, and other goods from residents moving out of student housing and donated it to various San Luis Obispo County nonprofit organizations. Some items collected during Cal Poly move-outs are donated to CP Thrift, a student-run campus thrift store, and the store hosted its first resale fair at the beginning of last year. CP Thrift will be hosting another resale fair for students on Sept. 14 in yak?ityutyu and Sept. 16 in Poly Canyon Village. Wallace, the manager of neighborhood outreach for SLO PD, loves the idea behind that program, and although the city hasn’t made anything official yet, she hopes to do something similar soon. “Next year we’re doing a bigger and stronger push toward donation,” Wallace said. “We know there is some room to do better at avoiding the landfill.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

The places you’ll go
The Central Coast offers such an endless supply of nature adventures, I had to come up with a ‘challenge’ BY PETER JOHNSON
SLO TOWN While not one of the most ambitious hikes in Peter’s SLO Challenge, the South Hills Open Space ridge trail is a nice rocky trek to get 360-degree views of SLO and Edna Valley.
W
CLIMB THE COAST You could spend years traversing the Big Sur coastline and not run out of things to see. The Soda Springs Trail is a nice and relatively easy hike between Ragged Point and Gorda with amazing views. A few connecting trails can take you to campsites.
OASIS Cruikshank Trail near Big Sur climbs the steep coastal mountains and meanders into the Silver Peak Wilderness. Here I am a few miles inland, enjoying the crystal-clear creek water.
elcome (back) to San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly and Cuesta students! For you first-years coming in from out of the area, I have a few predictions to make about your first month in SLO: 1. You are going to hike Bishop Peak at least once. 2. You are going to hear a lot about the “nine sisters,” that stretch from SLO to Morro Bay. 3. You are going to go to the beach. Specifically, you are going to go to Avila, Shell, or Pismo Beach (or maybe Pirate’s Cove). Tell me if I’m wrong in October. And look, don’t get defensive. I’m not knocking these traditions. They’re cool. I’m just saying, like peeling back the layers of an onion, the best is yet to come. There’s a whole lot more to this area than first meets the eye. Listen to your outdoorsy elders on campus: The Central Coast is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to natural splendor and new adventures. This summer, as I approached my four-year anniversary of moving here, I came to the realization that I still have so much to see and do in this place. I started making a list of hikes, camping spots, sights, open spaces, lakes, rivers, mountains, and more in my head that I really wanted to get to. When I got overwhelmed by that, I made a spreadsheet. Then, I turned that into a map with location pins. I even gave the venture a name: Peter’s SLO Challenge. I decided to hold myself accountable by posting my progress to Instagram. A few months into the challenge, I’m happy to report I’ve made a dent in the list. I’ve made multiple trips up to Big Sur to do day hikes and check out sights along Highway 1, which has helped me formulate somewhat of a mental map of this incredible stretch of coast and forest. I’ve knocked out easy hikes that I should’ve done years ago, like Cerro Cabrillo near Los Osos and South Hills in SLO. I bought a pair of trail running shoes to complement my adventures. It’s all been a ton of fun, and there’s still so much to do. There are still, like, five hikes in Montaña de Oro alone on the list. My outings spawn new outings that I add to the list. So, first-years at Cal Poly and Cuesta, my advice to you is this: Dig a little deeper for more adventure than your average classmate. Go a little farther. Take the path less traveled. Turn over that rock and find out what’s underneath. The more time I spend here, it seems, the more I realize how much there is to learn and love. Δ Join my SLO Challenge or start your own!

Study stop
FILE PHOTO COURTESY OF SALLY LOO’S
3 cups
793F Foothill Blvd., SLO (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) The amazing thing about SloDoCo— aside from the fact that is has almost every flavor of doughnut imaginable—is that it’s open 24 hours. It’s kind of the perfect place to order a cup of Joe or chai iced tea and get to studying. There are plenty of large tables that lend to group studying or laying out every single tool needed to study until your brain hurts. Now, about
New Times rates downtown SLO’s coffee shops for your studying pleasure BY NEW TIMES STAFF
S
an Luis Obispo has a lot of coffee shops for a town of fewer than 50,000. A handful of them roast their own beans, and they’re all a little bit different, catering to the variety of personalities and needs that make up this little berg. We know all you students out there have a need to study—but not all of the coffee shops around town are conducive to focused studying with laptops, books, and notepads. So we thought we’d introduce you to two handfuls of the spots that are closest to downtown, rate them on a scale of one to four coffee cups (with four being very studious and delicious), and give you our thoughts on what makes or breaks them.
Linnaea’s Café 3.7 cups
1110 Garden St., SLO (6:30 or 7 a.m. to 9:30 or 10 p.m.) Oh, Linnaea’s. This was the first coffee shop I ever visited when I came to SLO looking for housing in 2015, and I felt immediately at home. I’ve seen ’em all since and still haven’t found a more ideal café environment than this 36-year-old gem in the heart of downtown. With a serene outdoor patio garden in back and ample seating both inside and outside, Linnaea’s is the place to be to study, meet a date, hang out with friends, or just grab a reliable cup of coffee and bite to eat. Its steady schedule of art, live music, poetry readings, and workshops only adds to the list of reasons to visit this beloved café. The only downside here is that the Wi-Fi can be a little spotty on the patio. —Peter Johnson
Joliene Bakery 3.3 cups
570 Higuera St. suite 180, SLO (Thursday to Sunday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.) If you have a spare hour or two between classes or a free morning, make the trip to Joliene Bakery for a cup of coffee and a baked good. The bakery uses French Truck Coffee beans from New Orleans and is the only place on the West Coast that does so. While you’re at it, you might want to indulge in a fruit tartlet, a premade ham and cheese sandwich baguette, or a ginger stone fruit scone. Joliene is toward the back of The Creamery Marketplace, so the sun hits its front patio perfectly to enjoy your goodies with a book or a friend. —Karen Garcia PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM
3.25 cups
3.3 cups
3.6 cups
685 Higuera St., SLO (7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.) Kreuzberg Coffee downtown has all the bells and whistles that a college student wants from a café. It’s big and spacious with couches, comfy chairs, and plenty of tables (and plenty of charging outlets). The coffee’s great. The menu is surprisingly diverse and delicious. It’s hip. There’s beer, live music, art, and stand-up comedy. Even the layout is cool, with the coffee bar at the center of the café and a neat side room tucked over to the right. While it doesn’t offer quite the quaint and sunny charm that other coffee shops in town do (it’s a little dim and can get quite busy there), this SLO fixture since 2010 leaves very little to complain about. —Peter Johnson
and lunch over coffee, it’s typically packed and not really the ideal location for studying. But students aren’t just test-taking robots; they need brunch, too, damn it! With specials like the brioche toast topped with ricotta, homemade plum jam, and crushed pistachios; a variety of drink options, including very refreshing spritzers; AND milkshakes that come with mix-in ingredients like orange zest, espresso, and peanut butter, it really is a joy to visit. —Kasey Bubnash
2010 Parker St., SLO (6 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday; 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday) Nautical Bean’s Parker Street location isn’t exactly downtown, but it’s not exactly not downtown either. It’s on the edge, and it’s packing a pretty good wallop. With lots of nooks and crannies to cuddle into, art to look at, and even beer to drink if you’re just not in the mood for coffee, it’s a pretty funky and happening spot. There are lots of tables to choose from for your ideal studious set-up. You can get a bagel, sandwich, or burrito/wrap to complement that caffeine buzz, and if you’re lucky, you could even catch a drag show or a music set. —Camillia Lanham
Ascendo Coffee

974 Monterey St., SLO (6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday) Of all the coffee shops in SLO, this one has the most laid-back, warm, open vibe. It’s ideal for studying, with high ceilings, large windows that face the street, and big tables with lots of plugs to connect your laptops to. There’s even a community area that doesn’t allow the use of computers, so people can actually look at each other and communicate faceto-face—if you’re into that sort of thing. The coffee is roasted in the back, and they also make homemade almond milk. You can choose a sweet or savory treat, and Ascendo just started serving waffles! —Camillia Lanham
Sally Loo’s Wholesome Cafe 3.3 cups
1804 Osos St., SLO (7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday and Sunday) When Sally Loo says this cafe is wholesome, she’s not lying. Sure, it’s not really downtown and it’s not super close to campus either. With the main focus at Sally’s leaning more toward breakfast

those doughnuts—you could get glazed buttermilk, a dozen doughnut holes to share with friends, or you could get really fancy and order a circus animal. Yes, there are cookies on the doughnut. —Karen Garcia
BlackHorse Espresso and Bakery 2.8 cups
1065 Higuera St., SLO (5 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday) Don’t get it twisted, we love BlackHorse. Great coffee, delicious baked goods, and $1 day-old bagels—what’s not to love? But everyone who’s anyone knows that BlackHorse (we’re talking the downtown location) is the go-to spot for San Luis Obispo’s non-student residents. Maybe it’s the shop’s proximity to the city government building. Or maybe it’s the no-nonsense interior design. Either way, there are literal packs of old guys, all with their coffees and usually their awesome dogs, gathered around tables PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM
Scout Coffee 3 cups
1130 Garden St., SLO (6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., 7 days a week) For the record, Scout isn’t the place to go if you want a meal. They’ve got some awesome cookies and other sweet housemade snacks, but that’s about it when it comes to food. However, the coffee is roasted by Scout’s owners through their side hustle: HoneyCo Coffee Roasters, so it’s pretty darn good. The shop also makes homemade almond milk, delicious sodas, and affogatos (ice cream with a shot of espresso, yes please!). The atmosphere is hip and laid-back, and light filters in from the giant windows facing Garden Street. You can cozy up against one of the brick walls and pull that laptop out so you can pretend to study while you people watch. That’s what I’d do. —Camillia Lanham
and discussing politics on the BlackHorse patio every morning. So, really, that makes BlackHorse the perfect place for students to get motivated and ponder whether they’ll end up like these fantastic men—comfortably retired with a daily coffee and dog meetup with your boys. —Kasey Bubnash
Kin 1 cup
847 Higuera St., SLO (6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday; 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday) Sorry, Kin! You’ve got a hip and kewl thing going with the matte black walls, the magnifying glasses everywhere, the local art, and baristas with beards and tattoos. The antique syphon coffee brewers are fun and, honestly, the lavender matcha is pretty bomb—and you can get a large drip coffee for $2 that’s out of this world. But we’re judging coffee shops based on accessibility to students, and with dungeon-esque lighting (the black wall paint is probably to blame for this), almost no seating, and legitimately no tables that could be used for studying, Kin sits at the bottom of our Student Guide list. ∆ —Kasey Bubnash

Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market (FREE)
In the heart of Downtown SLO, you can count on the farmers’ market to be thriving every Thursday, unless it’s raining. Along Higuera Street, local farmers showcase their freshest produce, and plenty of stands serve hot meals at a decent price. There’s also entertainment from local musicians at the different street intersections along Higuera. You can walk over to the market, or if you prefer riding your bike, you can park your two wheels at the bike valet for free on Morro Street.
Art After Dark (FREE)
On the first Friday of every month, new art exhibits, performances, and music are scattered throughout downtown SLO. It’s a nice way to enjoy a brisk evening
and visit galleries, restaurants, salons, and boutiques that spotlight local arts. The event is put on by Arts Obispo, and it updates the locations monthly, so check the website—artsobispo.org—before you go for an updated map and listings. There are usually about 30 spots to visit, and it’s a nice way to get familiar with the city.
Take a hike (FREE) There are 10 beautiful open spaces and trails to visit for hiking and some locations to mountain bike. If you choose to ride a mountain bike, you can borrow a bell at the start of the trailhead. It’s just a courtesy to let walkers know you’re coming around the corner. To learn more about the trails, participate in a ranger-led hike that can take one to three hours depending on the trail. The ranger-led hikes take place once a month.

t’s not every day that a college classroom is asked to pick a side on local government policy. But in March, Cal Poly students in a popular solar energy course, Solar Photovoltaic System Engineering, were tasked with doing just that. Cal Poly electrical engineering professor Art MacCarley got the idea for an outside-the-box assignment after he read a newspaper article study to recommend the changes. on the city of San Luis Obispo’s Prepared by PG&E, the study is the then-proposed building code that touchstone for cities that want to would discourage natural gas in new adopt local building codes that go development.

Lassoed into Cuesta
WRANGLING A IN PASSION Aimee Davis has been participating in the rodeo scene for several years now, and she continued by joining the Cuesta College rodeo team. PHOTO COURTESY OF AIMEE DAVIS
Students choose to move to the Central Coast for Cuesta College’s academic and rodeo education BY KAREN GARCIA
C
high school, he and his immediate family moved from Mexico to Spring Valley, California. When he moved to the United States, he didn’t want to leave his passion for bull riding behind so he joined his high school rodeo team. While he learned to adapt to his new surroundings and practice his English, he was perfecting his bull riding skills. He’s been gaining experience and competing for about three years now. He often returns to his hometown to not only visit his extended family, but to compete in bull riding competitions. During this past school PHOTO COURTESY OF CESAR TALAMANTES year, he learned that he could continue his passion beyond high school and that Cuesta College has a rodeo team that he could join. “My parents wanted me to go to college, and I wanted to keep riding. This is the perfect place to do it,” he said. Talamantes is currently in his first year of Cuesta, and while he said he’s working on general studies courses initially, he wants to pursue an animal science major with the hopes of becoming a veterinarian. In order to achieve that dream, he said his first option is to hopefully transfer to Cal Poly to continue his academic education and to continue riding bulls with its rodeo team or apply to the University of Montana (because it offers an education track in his major and has a rodeo team). Ryan Cartnal, dean of BY THE HORNS Cesar Talamantes’ parents wanted Institutional Research, him to pursue higher education, and he wanted to continue riding a bull, so Cuesta College was the right Library, Learning Resources choice for him. and Instructional Technology,
esar Talamantes said he comes from three generations of cowboys. Not cowboy in the sense of the old Western movies, but men who ride on horseback to herd and tend cattle. “A lot of my family, cousins and stuff, are in charge of ranching and ride horses while doing it. I decided I wanted to do something like that, too, but I started bull riding,” Talamantes said. He’s one of many non-local students who decided to move to San Luis Obispo to start their higher education journey by attending Cuesta College. During Talamantes’ junior year of

said Cuesta College has long been desired by both local and out-of-area students for its beautiful location, stellar programs, and proximity to Cal Poly. “Students who come to us from out of the area represent about 30 percent of our total population,” Cartnal said. “Whether they graduated from a local high school or come from out of the area, the most popular educational goal is to transfer to a four-year institution after completing their general education.” He said the most popular majors among students are business, engineering, prenursing, and kinesiology. Aimee Davis from Eagle Point, Oregon, also made the move to attend Cuesta College for the rodeo team. Davis applied and was accepted to Cal Poly, but she said getting her first two school years done at Cuesta was the right decision for her financially. It’s also a pathway for her to establish residency before she applies to Cal Poly, which is her plan after she completes two years at Cuesta.
The biggest part of her decision, she said, was finding a college that had a rodeo team. Davis has been involved in the rodeo scene since she was 5 years old and said it’s a big part of her life now. “I competed throughout high school and at the national level. I go to rodeos throughout the year, and it’s just something that I really love and am passionate about,” she said. Currently, Davis is part of the Cuesta College rodeo team alongside Talamantes, but she helms the breakaway, goat ties, and team ropes aspect of the rodeo. “I love it, I think, because of the nervous rush I get when I’m competing. It’s just fun and keeps me busy,” she said. “I’ve just learned a lot about hard work, dedication, and the drive it takes to do it.” Cuesta College rodeo coach Clint Pearce also took the route of attending a community college before a four-year university because the college had a rodeo team. “College rodeo was probably the only thing at times that kept me engaged in school, because you know you’re out of money or having a hard time with your classes. It would be a lot easier to go get a job and take the easier path,” Pearce said. He believes some of the athletes in the rodeo team feel the same way. They’re not only passionate about the sport but it’s what gets them through the difficulties of higher education. Pearce and his wife, Connie, established the team about five years ago, and last year’s men’s team placed fourth in the nation. As co-coaches, the pair also works with Cal Poly’s rodeo team as the university extended an invitation to its arena. Pearce said he was motivated to start the program because his son had attended Cuesta College at a time when it didn’t have its own team. Now, he said, the athletes’ passion comes directly from the sport. “I think it’s worth mentioning that ... they’re extremely passionate to the point that if we didn’t have a rodeo team, many of them wouldn’t be coming to Cuesta,” Pearce said. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

ou’re in for a hot time in Templeton this weekend during the Whale Rock Music and Arts Festival on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 14 and 15, at Castoro Cellars Vineyards and Winery, and I’m not just talking about its awesome lineup of music. It’s supposed to be 98 degrees on Saturday and a relatively cool 88 on Sunday! Bring a hat, sunscreen, and spray mister for the daytime and something warmer for the evenings (it’ll drop into the 50s) because you’re not going to want to miss headliners like reggae and soul great Toots and the Maytals closing out Saturday and world fusion act Beats Antique closing Sunday. When you’re not getting down to other acts such as Aussie singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd, R&B and soul group the California Honeydrops, ripping bluegrass quintet The Lil Smokies, soul pop ensemble Lawrence, soul rocker Ben Morrison of the Brothers Comatose, the harmony Americana vocal trio T Sisters, blue-eyed soul quartet Próxima Parada, upbeat rockers Swatkins and the Positive Agenda, acid-rock-fusionjazz-Americana collective Joe Craven and the Sometimers, local super group (featuring the dudes from Bear Market Riot) the Whale Rock Allstars, horndriven party band Brass Mash, singersongwriter Dante Marsh, country swing act the Carolyn Sills Combo, and AfroBrazilian group Samba Loca, you can take yoga classes, drink some of Castoro’s

movie A Christmas Story in 2017, and last year he played Andrew on the TV series American Housewife. He’s repped by The Savage Agency and Monster Talent, and he’s a New Times Music Award winner. This Thursday, Sept. 12, he’ll be at Boo Boo Records (6 p.m.; all ages; free) for a CD release party of his new seven-song EP Forever Young Fever, which features Carlson playing guitar and singing lead vocals, with Justin Pecot on bass, keyboard, and backing vocals, and Wyatt Lund or Paul Deppepella on drums. Carlson’s album opens with the barnburner “Dangerous Woman,” a hard rocker with ripping wall-of-sound guitars. It’s got a cool Alice Cooper vibe! “Life’s too short to be slowly dying/ ‘It’s too hard,’ she’s always crying/ We’re gonna rock all night/ We’re gonna be dying/ If I told you I was gone, well, honey I’d be lying,” Carlson growls on “Rock n’ Roll Til’ the Break of Dawn.” My favorite song of the EP is the closer,
“Lady Liberty,” when Carlson slows things down and turns up his Michael Franti vibe. He also delivers a really great guitar solo. This is fun youthful rock ’n’ roll! He’s got guitar chops, an edgy rock voice, and charisma to burn. Check him out!

You can hear some Red Dirt country when Wade Bowen plays The Siren on Friday, Sept. 13 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $25 at the door). He was inspired by Robert Earl Keen: “He was a big changing point in my life,” Bowen said in press materials. “I realized by listening to him that there was way more out there than I ever knew. So I started getting into Guy Clark and other great Texas music. But I was obsessed with Robert Earl. When we started the band, we were sort of a Robert Earl cover band.” Dalton Domino opens. Amazing L.A.-based Latin hip-hop and rock act Ozomatli plays Presqu’ile Winery on Saturday, Sept. 14 (doors at 6 p.m.; all ages; $30 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $35 at the door).

like Alligator Records recording artist and blues great Coco Montoya, who plays The Siren on Wednesday, Sept. 18 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 presale at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com or $25 at the door). The man’s a living legend who came up under the tutelage of Albert Collins, the “Master of the Telecaster,” for whom he played drums, but Montoya developed a hardedged guitar sound that’s all his own and ended up playing lead guitar with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. He’s known for chart-topping blues tracks like “Can’t Look Back,” “Dirty Deal,” “I Want It All Back,” “Hard Truth,” and “Coming in Hot,” which hit No. 5 on the blues charts this month and is off his new album of the same name.

master of many different styles and sounds. Relix magazine put it best when writing of Tony’s music, ‘True talent doesn’t need categories.’ From bluegrass to blues, from folk to rock, from banjo to slide guitar, the music of Tony Furtado knows no boundaries. Tony will be joined by a two-time National Old-Time Fiddling Grand Champion Luke Price and Keith Brush on acoustic bass. Friends, this will a very special evening.” Americana singer-songwriter Stoll Vaughan plays Puffers of Pismo this Wednesday, Sept. 18. The Kentuckyborn singer-songwriter is touring in support of The Conversation, co-produced by Mike Wanchic (John Mellencamp) and Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket). “I’m too country for folk, and I’m too folk for
country,” Vaughan explained in press materials. “When it was time for me to get back to the process of writing songs for myself, I thought maybe I should reconsider everything. I’d been in music. I could write songs for other people, but I had lost a sense of what I would like to say. I was left feeling distant, and that distance made me look inward. The album’s title signifies being in a continual conversation regarding people, God, and the fears we carry around, and how music interplays with everything emotionally and spiritually.” ∆ Keep up with New Times Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey via Twitter at twitter. com/glenstarkey, friend him at facebook. com/glenstarkey, or contact him at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Creating to give back Artist Ian Smalley’s new Monterey Street gallery donates all proceeds to charity
A
s I walked into Ian Smalley’s Monterey Street gallery on a scorching hot SLO summer day, I was instantly hit with a wave of cool. And it wasn’t just the air conditioning—the space had something intrinsically laid-back about it. Upbeat tunes playing over the gallery’s sound system bounced off the freshly painted white walls and light wood flooring. Smalley sat behind an understated desk space at the back of the gallery. Behind him, a glass display read “the art of cool” in primary-colored, lowercase block letters. Fittingly, Smalley wore a “Mr. Cool” T-shirt—referencing the Roger Hargreaves children’s book—and a hip pair of gray slip-on Vans. Natural light pouring in the front windows illuminated the canvases featuring larger-than-life pop culture icons, a dozen of which line the walls of the space. As one might expect from the name of his gallery, Smalley said he’s “just doing things that are cool, that people like.” His muses range from old country stars like Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings to Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe. Choosing such recognizable idols, Smalley said, “resonates so strongly with people that it’s a very easy connection to make.” The Art of Cool Gallery saw its official opening on Sept. 6 at Art After Dark. Despite being a new addition to the Art After Dark map, the space was full with gallery-goers. Smalley said he saw a few repeat visitors during the evening. The story behind the new space is just as casual as the vibes it gives off. Three months ago, Smalley was training to compete at a national arm-wrestling match, running his local supplement company, and making art on the side, as he had done since attending Cuesta College in the ’90s. He had sold pieces here and there, hung many in his own home, and was occasionally commissioned by close friends who wanted their favorite culture icon rendered masterfully on a 3-feet-by-3-feet canvas. “It’s always been my side hobby,” Smalley said. But just two weeks before his arm-wrestling competition, Smalley had, in his words, “a super intuitive moment.” He decided to ditch the strength sports and open his own gallery instead. “I decided, and then two days later, this space had just come up for lease,” he said. “So I just said I wanted it. That was that. Everything happened in the last three months.” In the months following his spontaneous decision, Smalley worked tirelessly to get enough pieces ready in time for the Sept. 6 opening. “It was crazy, but this is probably 300 hours of art, just extra in my life,” he said. Smalley has never had much trouble selling work in the past: He once set up eight of his pieces in a parking lot and sold See for two in half a day. yourself Despite this, he said, To learn more about “the commercial aspect Ian Smalley’s work, visit The Art of Cool Gallery was never of interest to Facebook page. Visit the me.” Smalley plans to gallery at 1337 Monterey donate all his gallery St., SLO, between 12 p.m. proceeds to charity. and 6 p.m. The inspiration to

give back came after Smalley donated one of his pieces to an annual charity fashion show held at the Madonna Inn earlier this year. After watching bidders fight over his piece, resulting in a $1,700 winning bid that went to charity, Smalley thought, “What if there was an opportunity to have that experience again, but just have my own space?” “My company is going to subsidize the rent on this place, so that way I can give 100 percent of the proceeds to local THE ARTIST The Art of Cool Gallery owner Ian Smalley poses with one of his favorite pieces of singer Prince. charities,” Smalley explained. “I could do works as they sell, and see where it goes.

Leaving the linear Los Osos writer wants her readers to, as Mary Oliver once wrote, ‘pay attention, be astonished, and tell about it’
T
ucked away in a quiet neighborhood that sits adjacent to the Sweet Springs Nature Preserve in Los Osos, Misty Wycoff lives, reflects, and writes. Her garden is lush with verdant ferns and perfectly symmetrical dahlias. Magenta bougainvillea draped over a tall fence meets an awning attached to her home, making the garden space feel enclosed, like a little oasis away from the world. Over a pot of apple cinnamon tea, Wycoff and I sat down on a Sunday morning to speak about her recently published book, High Rain: Love Letters to the Central Coast. Just more than 100 pages long, Wycoff’s work stitches together her original poetry, prose, and photographs on unadorned black and white pages. It’s immediately clear that Wycoff is inviting us to abandon the flurries of our lives, even for just a moment, and be present with the natural world. The book starts with the title poem, “High Rain,” paired with a photo of prodigious cumulus clouds over a barren Central Coast landscape. The first stanza acknowledges the uncertainties that trick us into focusing on the future: “the shifting cloud / where the Gods are deciding / how the day will look.” But it’s that shifting, uncertain way about the world that leads us to miss the very moments we are looking for: “that shimmering sky time / when the high rain begins to fall.” As a person writing about nature, Wycoff must turn off what she calls the linear part of her mind. The linear, she said, is rational, future oriented, and a problem solver, much like “the Gods” in “High Rain.” It focuses on what’s next, rather than what is now. Elements of the natural world, like the high rain in Wycoff’s poem, don’t operate in this pragmatic way. Rather, the rain defies the gods’ plans and falls precisely when it is ready, without warning, much like the moment Wycoff turns off her linear mind and allows creativity to flow inside. Wycoff calls this moment of unadulterated inspiration “the call.” “Truthfully, I think everyone on the planet is getting calls all the time,” she said. “But I think we don’t hear them, because we’re so focused in the linear, logical, reasonable world. I think the more you listen, the better you can hear.” The poems and prose in Wycoff’s book are each timestamped with a month and year. “Anima Mundi,” a poem that asks us to consider “what injury we inherit at the hands of our ignorance,” is marked with June 1995, making it the earliest written piece in the book. But Wycoff, ever interested in disrupting the linear, does not place this poem first. Chronological, logical order is not what she strives for. “I’m not writing essays,” she noted. “That is linear thinking. … Our culture values that.” This societally engrained emphasis on rationality is something that has challenged Wycoff in the past.

Stuff of nightmares IT CHAPTER 2
What’s it rated? R What’s it worth, Anna? Full price What’s it worth, Glen? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Andy Muscietti (Mama, It) directs this twopart film based on Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel about an evil subterraneandwelling clown named Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) who preys on the children of Derry, Maine, by exploiting their fears and phobias. In the first part (2017), we’re introduced to The Losers Club, a group of seven adolescent misfits who band together for protection from the town’s bullies, but more importantly from Pennywise, who abducts and murders children. The kids apparently defeat Pennywise in the first part, but in Chapter 2, 27 years after the first episode, Pennywise returns, and Mike Hanlon (Isaiah Mustafa) begins to call the other members of The Losers Club to remind them of their blood pact to return to Derry and band together to defeat Pennywise if he ever returns. Soon Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy), Beverly Marsh (Jessica Chastain), Richie Tozier (Bill Hader), Ben Hanscom (Jay Ryan), Eddie Kaspbrak (James Ransone), and Stanley Uris (Andy Bean) are drawn back to the Pennywise mystery, and through flashback we revisit their younger selves (Chosen Jacobs as Mike; Jaeden Martell as Bill; Sophia Lillis as Beverly; Finn Wolfhard as Richie; Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben; Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie; and Wyatt Oleff as Stanley). (102 min.) Glen Oh man, this film is fun! It’s the sort of nostalgic, over-the-top horror of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), with crazy special effects, jump scares, and laughs. All the Losers Club members have left Derry except Mike, who lives in the library and monitors the police scanner for any sign of Pennywise’s return, and return he does in the opening set piece at an amusement park. As he makes his calls, we learn about the seven principal characters’ lives 27 years after their Pennywise run-in. Things aren’t necessarily going great for any of them, and the six members who
At the
moved away have a limited memory of the events of their past, but as they return to Derry, those horrifying albeit fragmented memories return. I have to admit I was having a hard time connecting the adult characters with the adolescent ones. I never read the book, and I saw It two years ago, but about a third of the way through this pretty long but not necessarily slow film, as the story moved back and forth between time, it became easier to track who was who. This is a solid cast, and the young and older actors are all really engaging. Unless you’re really well versed with the story and characters, you may have a little trouble connecting It with It Chapter 2, but it will come, and when it does, you’re in for a fun horror ride! Anna Even having read the book before the last film came out, it took me a little while to string the characters together as well. There are a lot of people jumping forward and back through time! Nevertheless, it all falls into place soon enough, and the nightmarish adventure into underground Derry begins. Skarsgård is a wholly terrifying Pennywise, whose yellow eyes and drooling mouth are truly unsettling. Props to the makeup and costuming departments on that one! Mike has an easy enough time getting the group to reassemble, but getting them to stay in the cursed town to fight the monster they thought they had defeated once again proves a feat. Their first night back in Derry is a drunken catch-up at the local Chinese restaurant, but the end of the evening turns to terror when the contents of their fortune cookies turn both disgusting and ominous. It becomes clear Pennywise knows they are back in town, and the evil clown is up to his old tricks once again. Glen That scene in the Chinese restaurant really set the tone for the exceptional special effects. The creatures popping out of the cookies represent the characters’ worst nightmares, and they’re surely creative. Later we learn that Mike has been studying some ancient Native American artifacts about the legend of Pennywise’s origin, which may offer a way to defeat him for good. But in order for the ceremony to be carried out, the various Losers Club
ALL GROWED UP (Left to right) Richie Tozier (Bill Hader), Beverly Marsh (Jessica Chastain), Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy), Eddie Kaspbrak (James Ransone), Mike Hanlon (Isaiah Mustafa), and Ben Hanscom (Jay Ryan) reconvene 27 years after the events of It (2017) to kill the evil clown Pennywise once and for all.
members must locate their own personal talisman. So like the beginning of the film as we visit each character’s life outside Derry one by one, we now follow each character as he or she searches for that special object. Structurally, it gives viewers a chance to separate the characters from one another and more fully connect their young and old selves. Ultimately, the story is about the enduring bonds of friendship, teamwork, and trust. King’s books are often the size of large metropolitan-area telephone books—he really likes to dig into the details. Films can’t really do that, so fans of his book might think the film is pretty thin in comparison, but It and It Chapter 2 offer a crazy and funny—and at times even emotionally potent—ride. The films aren’t especially frightening, but there are some jump-out-of-your-seat moments amid a really well-crafted and directed twopart series, featuring a great cast. Even the bully Henry Bowers (Nicholas Hamilton as young Henry and Teach Grant as old) returns in a great side story. If you’re fans of horror romps, this one delivers. Anna I appreciated the Bowers side story. It’s basically the only one from the book that made it onto the screen. I would have loved to have more of those juicy

ANGEL HAS FALLEN What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Galaxy, Stadium 10 This is the third offering of the Fallen franchise that started in 2013 with Olympus Has Fallen and was followed in 2016 with London Has Fallen. In this newest iteration directed by Ric Roman Waugh (Felon, Snitch, Shot Caller), after being framed for attempting to assassinate the president, Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler, the star of all three Fallen films) must evade the FBI and his own agency as he works to clear his name and find the true culprit, who aims to take out President Thumbull (Morgan Freeman). Well, thank God for Nick Nolte, whose mid-film appearance as Mike Banning’s
estranged father Clay Banning managed to stop me from napping through this predictable by-the-numbers actioner. Clay is a grizzled old Vietnam vet who long before abandoned his wife and child for a life living off the grid and away from a culture and government he rejects as corrupt. Nolte, the former heartthrob of films such as The Deep (1977) and 48 Hrs. (1982), has really embraced his scruffy carbuncular old age in films like Tropic Thunder (2008) and Warrior (2011). In Angel Has Fallen, he actually manages to give this otherwise hollow, wooden affair a beating heart. After the opening set piece, an idea stolen from an old James Bond film, we get the set-up: Banning’s friendship with former fellow soldier Wade Jennings (Danny Huston), who now runs a struggling private sector military
company (Think Blackwater). When Huston turns up as a supposed good guy in anything, regular cinemagoers know to be wary. Jennings needs a president willing to employ firms like his on the global battlefield, and since Banning is up for Director of the Secret Service, maybe he could put in a good word for his old comrade in arms. Trust me: What’s coming is telegraphed from a mile away. What follows will appeal to fans of the franchise, which once again delivers explosions, gunfights, vehicle chases, and hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, it’s a familiar path from beginning to end, right down to Banning’s wife, Leah (Piper Perabo), and toddler daughter being imperiled. There are exactly zero surprises awaiting viewers, which is why audiences score on Rotten Tomatoes are

King side tales woven in, but at almost three hours, this film could really only handle the group’s journey to destroy that evil clown once and for all. I have to say this film is a ton of fun—it’s gross and hilarious (thank you, Bill Hader) and those pop-outs really did get me jumping a few times. They managed to take a lot of the good bits of the story and pump them up, while cutting some of the fat by pulling out some not-so-great moments that happened in the book (child orgy, anyone?). The final battle in the sewers of Derry is undeniably epic; Pennywise’s scuttling form of gigantic spider/clown/scorpion is awesome. King even appears in a cameo as the grumpy owner of Secondhand Rose where Bill finds and buys his old bike, Silver, while on his quest to find his token for the ceremony. It’s just a lot of fun all around—and a great way to watch the story unfold without dragging around the monster of a book. My recommendation is that you watch part one before heading to the theater—it’ll help keep the characters straight from the beginning. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

THE FAREWELL
Elba is effortlessly cool as the villain, Brixton. There’s been talk of him as the first black James Bond! Yes, please! He’s a total badass! Even though this is a male-centric film, there’s also a solid female role model in Hattie thanks to Vanessa Kirby, who’s as fierce as she is beautiful. Watching her take on the bad guys is a joy. If you’ve seen the trailer, you pretty much know the story. Hobbs, Shaw, and Hattie need to “get off the grid,” so they end up in Samoa at Hobbs’ childhood home. This final sequence is a ballet of PG-13 violence, and when you add in the pumping soundtrack featuring Yungblud, The Heavy, A$ton Wyld, Aloe Blacc, and other popular artists, the ride is a wild romp. The teenage boys seated next to us were flopping around like gasping fish in their seats. Thankfully, the filmmakers had the good sense to make this film funny. If you’re looking for an entertaining—albeit silly— distraction, try a matinee. You may be as pleasantly surprised as I was. (145 min.) —Glen

PLEASURES (a factoid revealed during one of the mockumentary-style interviews). Of all the characters—including Barbie’s three sisters, Chelsea, Stacy, and Skipper—her friend Midge is my favorite. Midge’s debut on the show, “A Smidge of Midge,” is one of the best moments. She’s an adorably retro, nerdy gal with freckles who arrives at Barbie’s house in black and white. She’s accompanied by a laugh track that’s activated with each of her outdated puns and bewildered snorts at the Dreamhouse’s modern-doll technology. In the ensuing makeover, Midge is transformed from “flash back to flash fabulous.” She looks trendy as a redhead in a layered miniskirt and navyblue heels, but she’s still a throwback at heart whose favorite hobbies are knitting, jigsaw puzzles, and macrame. And she’s often reminding her Malibu friends that she’s a retro model and not as bendable as they are. “I’m not articulated for high speed!” Midge screams while running for her life in the house’s industrial-sized washing machine. I also laugh at every one of the innumerable nods to the Dreamhouse’s being a plastic toy—it’s especially fun to watch the Barbie family redecorate on a whim with instant furniture, rotating appliances, and stick-on decor.

t’s 6 a.m. We have a full tank of gas, coffees in hand, and muffins for later. Everyone told us not to go. Everyone told us the drive would be too long, that the traffic would be too nightmarish, or that we’d get robbed or kidnapped or worse. But we’re doing it. And we’re doing it all for the tacos. The first thing you need to know is that my friends and I love food. We have whole Saturdays dedicated to cooking pizzas, making picnics featuring charcuterie trays and wine, and holding day-long cookouts where we argue over the best way to cook pork. Recently, though, (thanks in part to the Taco Tuesday deal at Tacos El Tizon) we’ve been on a big taco kick. So we made plans for a Labor Day weekend getaway to Tijuana. Unsurprisingly, everyone we told about the trip responded with bleak warnings about “the cartel.” We heard stories about Americans being kidnapped and killed, about cars being broken into and stripped of their tires and doors, and about being forced into sex trafficking rings. Cheery! We chalked those tales up to extreme exaggeration. What did scare us, though, were the stories of holiday traffic through LA and San Diego, and now, on the way to the border, we’re praying we won’t get caught in the middle of it. We breeze through Santa Barbara, Ventura, and LA, then hit some annoying but pretty minor stopand-go traffic just before San Diego. We park our car at a friend’s house in San Diego, hitch a ride to the border, and walk into Tijuana. Instantly, it’s like being in another world. The buildings are colorful, street vendors everywhere are selling fresh fruit and tacos, dancers perform for cars at stoplights.

shops, and breweries. Next, there’s a walking break (gotta burn some of this off), followed by a trip to what I think might be heaven: Carnitas Quiroga, a restaurant famed for its insanely tender and flavorful carnitas tacos. It does not disappoint. Hours pass, and finally we’re feeling hungry again. We head to Tacos El Gordo, a classic, no-frills taco shop serving all kinds of meat we can’t identify. We throw one item on the menu—tacos de tripa— into Google Translate, and it comes up as “guts.” Not a great sign. We put another in, and it comes up as “brains.” So, we play it safe with our orders (al pastor and asada for us, please!) and the tacos are, of course, amazing. With some newfound confidence in Tacos El Gordo, we get a little crazy and try out some tongue taco. Apparently, my tongue likes tongue. Good to know. Then, before we know it, the trip is over. Getting back into America on foot is shockingly quick and easy, but we’re sad to leave. How to cope? Only breakfast can help us now. Δ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash is out of pesos and queso.

Ode to the waiter Raw truths from an ex-food server
I
was either the best or worst waitress (according to handwritten notes on my check receipts). My status depended entirely on circumstances because even the most skillful waiters could not pull off a triple seating on a Friday night when you’re understaffed and you got assigned the one busser who just started. To make everyone in your section happy, you need to be able to multitask like a super mom, think like a 911 dispatcher, know the rules of service like Miss Manners, entertain like the Greatest Showman, and move like a mogul skier. And every table is a new table, with unknown variables that will make your head spin. I must say I am grateful for what I have learned from my time in restaurants (20 years of on-and-off work: busing, hostessing, bartending, expediting, managing, and waiting tables in cafés, corny food chains, and fancy Zagat-rated restaurants). So I would like to say, thank you San Luis Obispo County servers for making sure we have everything we need when we’re fortunate enough to eat out. I wish I could start a support group for you, but in lieu of that, I’m going to get raw about how hard your job is. Here’s a quiz the pulls back the curtain on this side of food service. Maybe you can relate.
Waiters don’t care
False. I’ve seen that look of disappointment on the faces of hungry people. It’s hard to swallow. Your waiter is stalking the kitchen window like a vulture waiting for meat to drop on the line. They’re afraid to face you until
FILE PHOTOS BY BETH GIUFFRE
they have your food. If it were true that waiters really couldn’t care less how your meal goes, then why is their greatest fear seeing you frown at your plate?
Waiters are overpaid for what they do
False. Some people think all a food server has to do is plop a plate down on the table. My friend’s daughter recently left restaurants to become an ER nurse. And every time she enters another room with a patient undergoing a medical emergency, she has to catch herself before she says, “Hi, I’m Lauren, I’m going to be your server tonight.” Seriously. The ER is comparable to a busy night in a restaurant. People who think food servers are rich and don’t deserve tips are the same people who have never waited tables. Waiters make minimum wage, plus tips. Insurance is rarely included. No 401K and no retirement. And you have to claim a portion of your tips on your taxes. So your paycheck is usually enough to cover one, maybe two grande Starbucks drinks. You make tips, but you have to give the largest percentage to your busser, the hosts, the expediter (who runs the food), and sometimes (if the owner is too cheap to pay them properly) the cooks. After tipping out, depending on the business and price point of the restaurant, you can gross anywhere from $12 to $300 in tips.
Waiters only wait because they failed other careers
False. Comedian Chris Rock said it best when he said some people have careers and some people have jobs. People who have careers better shut up when they’re around people with jobs, he said (using a few more bad words). But here’s the thing: Aside from a handful of people I know who bartend because they love socializing with people, MOST people who work as servers are brilliant, and some may even be their customer’s future boss. They’re smart enough to know that waiting tables means short shifts (four to six hours tops) and cash, and it will pay the bills while they finish their master’s or doctorate, rehearse their star role, or raise their own children
SMART STAFF If I were younger and had the stamina to work in restaurants again, Farmhouse Corner Market is where I would apply. These pros have studied their menus and aim to please.
CAMARADERIE One thing to notice when you walk into 1865 Craft House and Kitchen in SLO is the fun little conversations the servers are having while folding napkins, waiting for the computer, and stalking the kitchen window. Waiting tables is tedious work, but those intermittent chats motivate the staff.
instead of paying a day care $15 an hour.
Celebrities are fun to wait on
False. Too much pressure! This is when your favorite manager becomes a micromanager! I once worked in a place that was such a scene, the hosts would hand us a piece of blue card stock with every table to let us know which celebrity we were waiting on. We had to bring them all the extra freebies that the chef would also be stressing over. I always felt like regulars should be treated like stars—you come in all the time, you’re my celebrity.
There are good servers, and there are bad False. They are slammed, or not slammed. Remember the ER comparison? There are as many moving parts in restaurant service as there are angels in heaven. And when your perfectly presented steaming hot food ends up on your plate on time, after the drinks are served chilled to perfection, water refilled, delusional and health-detrimental special requests granted, check presented right after the last sip of espresso and dessert, it’s a beautiful miracle.
It’s such an easy job
False. Those wines on the wine lists don’t sell themselves. You have to study their properties and memorize their special qualities like you’re a premed student. Sometimes you even get quizzed by the GM or the chef himself. You are the face of the food!
Tipping the scale
Here are some pro tips on what the percentage you leave behind says about you: • A 5 percent tip: You’re a hater. • A 10 percent tip: You’re almost self-aware but not quite. • A 15 percent tip: You play by the rules. • A 20 percent tip: You’ve either waited tables before or enjoy good karma and blown kisses.
WAIT FOR IT Baristas aren’t considered wait staff, but in restaurants, they work like bartenders, who must serve the counter as well as the food servers. This takes an experienced multitasker.
Your server will not be reading your Yelp review
True. As much as you want to make them pay, I never met a food server who was masochistic enough to read critiques on their place of work.
Waiting tables can be fun and funny
True. Ever seen the movie, Waiting with Ryan Reynolds? Well watching that is even better than having a server support group. It’s raunchy, hilarious, and 100 percent plausible. Folding napkins is the best time to get to know some remarkable human beings. You make good money. You work short shifts. And there are former food servers who appreciate your every move! ∆ New Times contributor Beth Giuffre dedicates this column to all the food servers, past and present, suffering from job-related-post-traumatic stress.

The Wine History Project and the Food History Project will be joining forces honoring local chefs, winemakers, growers, and vintners alike. This partnership of food and wine will now be presented by the Wine History Project and will offer more extensive lectures, agricultural field trips, and conversations with local cookbook authors. To help establish a new collection of local cookbooks, The Wine History Project is asking for donations of local cookbooks to archive with their growing library of wine-related books. It could be a cookbook from the lighthouse, a historical SLO County family, the mission, etc.
charm I dig: soft, romantic lighting and a cool patio nook; classic brick walls; modern hammered-tin ceiling tiles and stunning art; and the kind of smart, Parisian-quality, fine-dining service that makes me feel like I’m being taken care of. The summer dinner menu is short and sweet, but my husband and I still had a hard time narrowing down the interesting choices: from Pacific Gold oysters to ahi tartare. What stood out as the best of the evening was the chef’s preparation of burrata: served with sliced Back Porch Bakery baguette and luscious sweet figs, thyme-honey, pistachios, and basil oil. If you haven’t tried burrata and you love cheese, try this dish. Burrata is a fresh, ultra-soft Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The cheese is firm on the outside, but when your fork breaks it open, a creamy river of stretchy stracciatella runs out like a dream. Spread on the crisp, toasted bread, the sweet and savory flavors of the fig, honey, and cheese are a refreshing treat for the senses. Granada Hotel & Bistro is located at 1126 Morro St., SLO. The burrata is $14. Visit granadahotelandbistro.com for more information. Reservations can be made at (805) 544-9100. ∆

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings,” wrote Audre Lourde. True for you? FreeWillAstrology.com.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hi, I’m your sales representative for UnTherapy, a free program designed to provide healing strategies for people who are trying too hard. Forgive me for being blunt, but I think you could benefit from our services. I don’t have space here to reveal all the secrets of UnTherapy, but here’s an essential hint: Every now and then the smartest way to outwit a problem is to stop worrying, let it alone, and allow it to solve itself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People in Northeast India weave long, strong suspension bridges out of the living roots of fig trees. The structures can measure up to 150 feet and bear the weight of hundreds of people. In accordance with astrological omens, let’s make these marvels your metaphors of power for the coming weeks. To stimulate your meditations, ask yourself the following questions. 1. How can you harness nature to help you to get where you need to go? 2. How might you transform instinctual energy so that it better serves your practical needs? 3. How could you channel wildness so that it becomes eminently useful to you?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, you’re standing on land that was once on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. Four-hundred-million-year-old fossils of marine life still abide there in the rock. Over the course of eons, through the magic of plate tectonics, that low flat land got folded and pushed upwards more than five miles. I suspect you Geminis will have the power to accomplish a less spectacular but still amazing transformation during the next ten months. To get started, identify what you would like that transformation to be.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1996, when Gary Kasparov was rated the world’s best chess player, he engaged in a series of matches with a chess-playing computer named Deep Blue. Early on in the first game, Deep Blue tried a move that confused Kasparov. Rattled, he began to wonder if the machine was smarter than him. Ultimately, his play suffered and he lost the game. Later, it was revealed that Deep Blue’s puzzling move was the result of a bug in its code. I’ll encourage you to cultivate a benevolent bug in your own code during the coming weeks, Cancerian. I bet it will be the key to you scoring a tricky victory.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): American hero Harriet Tubman escaped slavery as a young woman. She ran away from the wealthy “master” who claimed to “own” her, and reached sanctuary. But rather than simply enjoy her freedom, she dedicated herself to liberating other slaves. Nineteen times she returned to enemy territory and risked her life, ultimately leading 300 people out of hellish captivity. Later she served as a scout, spy, and nurse in the Union Army during the Civil War, where her actions saved another 700 people. In 1874, the U.S. Congress considered but then ultimately rejected a bill to pay her $2,000 for her numerous courageous acts. Don’t you dare be like Congress in the coming weeks, Leo. It’s crucial that you give tangible acknowledgment and practical rewards to those who have helped, guided, and supported you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Novelist Wallace Stegner wrote, “Some are born in their place, some find it, some realize after long searching that the place they left is the one they have been searching for.” I hope that in the last nine months, Virgo, you have resolved which of those three options is true for you. I also trust that you have been taking the necessary actions to claim and own that special place—to acknowledge it and treasure it as the power spot where you feel most at home in the world. If you have not yet fully finished what I’m describing here, do it now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Earth’s species are going extinct at a rate unmatched since the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. Among the creatures on the verge of being lost forever are birds like the cryptic treehunter and spix’s macaw, as well as the northern white rhino and the vaquita, a type of porpoise. So why don’t we clone the last few individuals of those beleaguered species? Here are the answers. 1. Cloned animals typically aren’t healthy. 2. A species needs a sizable population to retain genetic diversity; a few individuals aren’t sufficient. 3. Humans have decimated the homes of the threatened species, making it hard for them to thrive. Conclusion: Cloning is an inadequate stopgap action. Is there a better way to address the problem? Yes: by preserving the habitats of wild creatures. Inspired by this principle, Libra, I ask you to avoid trying halfway fixes for the dilemmas in your personal sphere. Summon full measures that can really work.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Though patched together and incomplete, the 2,200-year-old marble sculpture known as the Winged Victory of Samothrace is prominently displayed at Paris’ Louvre Museum. It’s a glorious depiction of Nike, the winged goddess of victory, and is regarded as one of ancient Greece’s great masterpieces. For hundreds of years it was missing. Then in 1863, an archaeologist discovered it, although it was broken into more than a hundred pieces. Eventually, it was rebuilt, and much of its beauty was resurrected. I see the coming weeks as a time when you, too, could recover the fragments of an old treasure and begin reassembling it to make a pretty good restoration.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I’ve learned that I must find positive outlets for anger or it will destroy me,” said actor Sidney Poitier. That can be a dynamic meditation for you during the next three weeks. I think you will derive substantial power from putting it into action. If you’re ingenious and diligent about finding those positive outlets, your anger will generate constructive and transformative results.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1905, at the age of 30, Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote the novel Anne of Green Gables. It was a tale about an orphan girl growing up on Prince Edward Island. She sent the manuscript to several publishers, all of whom rejected it. Discouraged, she put it away in a hatbox and stored it in a closet. But two years later, her ambitions reignited when she re-read the story. Again she mailed it to prospective publishers, and this time one liked it enough to turn it into a book. It soon became a bestseller. Since then. it has sold over 50 million copies and been translated into 36 languages. I figure you Capricorns are at a point in your own unfolding that’s equivalent to where Anne was shortly before she rediscovered the manuscript she’d put away in the hatbox.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Toxorhynchites are species of large mosquitoes that don’t buzz around our heads while we’re trying to sleep and will never bite our skin or suck our blood. In fact, they’re our benefactors. Their larvae feast on the larvae of the mosquitoes that are bothersome to us. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that you be alert for a metaphorically comparable influence in your own life: a helper or ally that might be in disguise or may just superficially seem to be like an adversary.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Audre Lord identified herself as a black writer, lesbian, librarian, mother, feminist, civil rights activist, and many other descriptors. But as ardent as she was in working for the political causes she was passionate about, she didn’t want to be pigeonholed in a single identity. One of her central teachings was to celebrate all the different parts of herself. “Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat,” she testified. These approaches should be especially fun and extra meaningful for you in the coming weeks, Pisces. I encourage you to throw a big Unity Party for all the different people you are. ∆
