Out of state company sues Valley Farm Supply for failure to pay accrued debt

FILE PHOTO

S

implot, an Idaho-based turf and horticulture business, claims that Peter Compton and SLO County 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton, as trustees of Valley Farm Supply, owe it more than $5.3 million.

Simplot alleged that the debt is from the four years prior to the June 7 complaint, which the company filed with the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court. The lawsuit states that Valley Farm Supply failed to pay timely invoices for goods and services purchased on credit. On Feb. 4, 2008, Valley Farm entered into a commercial sales agreement with Simplot, according to the lawsuit, with Peter as the corporate president of Valley Farm. Peter is still listed as Valley Farm’s corporate president.

The lawsuit claims that the business obtained the ability to purchase goods (chiefly fertilizer and agricultural chemicals) on credit from Simplot with the promise to pay the total amount due on each invoice/customer statement, in accordance with the payment terms.

According to the lawsuit, on May 22, 2013, Simplot received an assurance of payment through a continuing personal guaranty on behalf of Valley Farm, executed by the Comptons.

Simplot sent invoices to Valley Farm, according to the lawsuit, and those invoices were at least partially unpaid, resulting in a balance of $5.3 million with more than $1,100 in interest accruing daily.

On Aug. 1, 2018, Simplot sent Valley Farm a delinquency in the company’s accounts and demanded payment—the first demand letter according to the lawsuit.

In a letter written prior to the filing of this lawsuit, Valley Farm took the position that Lynn’s signature on the guaranties was forged and that she had no liability, the lawsuit claims.

INDEBTED? Idaho-based turf and horiculture company Simplot sued Peter and Lynn Compton and their business Valley Farm Supply for what it claims is more than $5.3 million in owed payments for goods and services.

According to the lawsuit, Peter told Simplot through an attorney that he agrees with Lynn’s contention that her signature was forged.

The lawsuit states that Simplot didn’t know that Valley Farm was transferring some of its real property assets. In May, Simplot obtained reports on the condition of title for each of the once-trust-owned properties. The lawsuit states that the company found that with awareness of the balance owed to Simplot, Valley Farm began transferring multiple properties out of the trust in what seems “quite clearly to be an attempt to place

that property beyond Simplot’s reach” between November 2018 and February 2019.

Simplot has demanded that Peter pay the due balance, but he has refused to do so, the lawsuit claims.

As of June 13, none of the defendants listed on the lawsuit had filed a response in court.

New Times reached out to Lynn and Peter for comment but didn’t receive a response before press time. Both parties must appear for a first case management conference on Oct. 15, 2019.

Supervisors to consider moratorium on hemp grows

Commissioner Marc Lee, are for producing CBD, which is a non-psychoactive chemical in hemp that’s used in health products.

“Everyone wants to grow for CBD,” Lee said.

“It’s going to look very similar to cannabis and potentially the odors are similar. If they’re growing for CBD, they’re growing all the way to flowering.”

The push for a hemp urgency ordinance came directly from the Board of Supervisors during a May 21 meeting. Peschong made a motion, which was unanimously supported, to agendize it, emphasizing the possible need for grow setbacks.

As proposed, the urgency ordinance would temporarily ban all industrial hemp cultivation with the exception of the 14 growers who already successfully registered in the county.

Urgency ordinances require four votes to pass (as opposed to a simple majority) and remain valid for 45 days, after which the board could renew it for another year.

Peschong said he will wait to hear more public input on June 18 before he makes up his mind about a moratorium.

“Everything’s on the table,” he said. “I want people to show up and enlighten us.”

Less than two months after San Luis Obispo County joined the U.S. and California in lifting a prohibition on commercial hemp production, SLO County supervisors will consider banning the crop again at a June 18 meeting.

First District Supervisor John Peschong said some county residents have expressed concerns about the community impacts of growing hemp, including odor, and SLO’s lack of local rules and regulations.

“We needed to look at all options and listen to the community,” Peschong told New Times. “To me, it’s all about neighbor-to-neighbor conflict.”

In early May, SLO County legalized commercial hemp as statewide regulations went into effect for the industry. On Jan. 1, 2019, Congress removed hemp from the federal Schedule 1 controlled substances list.

Under the state’s rules, county agricultural commissioners are responsible for registering hemp grows within their jurisdictions.

Since the local market opened, the SLO County Department of Agriculture has approved 14 hemp applications. All of those grows, according to Assistant Agricultural

Cuesta students will see increased parking permit prices

Parking fees at Cuesta College will start increasing in the fall 2019 semester to help fund the school’s Public Safety Department.

Cuesta’s board of trustees unanimously voted on June 5 to bump up the cost of student and staff parking fees for two years starting this fall. The current fee for a student permit is $30 per semester, which will increase to $35 in 2019 and to $40 in 2020. Staff parking fees will go from $10 to $15 per semester in 2019, and a price increase for the following year has yet to be negotiated. Daily parking permits are $2, but will cost $3 in 2019 and $4 the following year. Low-income students—those eligible for state fee waivers—won’t see an increase.

Dan Troy, Cuesta’s assistant superintendent, said the board of trustees expressed significant concern over the prospect of raising fees for students but understood the need to ensure adequate funding for parking maintenance and public safety services on campus.

“While the board approved the plan, some of the trustees noted reluctance to consider additional increases in the future,” Troy said.

The funds that come from the increases will go directly to the Department of Public Safety, which supports parking and public safety services. Troy said the funds will also go toward safety personnel who monitor and maintain the lots and oversee campus safety as well as training to make sure the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certified officers are up to date with requirements and best practices to ensure that Cuesta is a safe learning working environment.

According to a staff report, 25 percent of the department’s revenue comes from the college’s general fund. The remaining 75 percent dependent on restricted fund revenue, which is divided between parking permit sales and parking citation enforcement, with parking permits totaling up to about five-sixths of that revenue.

The restricted parking fund has steadily declined, Troy said, due to a growing number of students who are enrolled but don’t physically come to campus, such as those in a high school dual enrollment program, distance education program, or who

VIEWER DISCRETION are incarcerated. The resulting revenue losses reduced parking permit income by 12 percent over the last four fiscal years.

SLO hires investigator to review employee who hit woman at bar

The city of San Luis Obispo is turning to outside help in its ongoing investigation of a building inspector who sparked recent public outrage for his 2016 assault of a couple in an Avila Beach bar.

In February, Chris Olcott, 39, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge in the incident, which was caught on surveillance video and published online in April.

The video—which shows Olcott knocking a female victim unconscious with his elbow and then repeatedly punching her male friend—ignited widespread anger and prompted the city to place him on paid leave the week of April 15.

“The city will thoroughly and quickly investigate the record to determine appropriate employment actions,” City Manager Derek Johnson said in a statement sent to local media outlets on April 16.

As of New Times’ June 12 press time, SLO’s review of Olcott remains ongoing.

The city hired a private investigator, Dave Fleishman, of Atascadero-based Hanley & Fleishman, to assist with the review—at a $1,995 cost thus far.

“It is common for us to retain an outside investigator where there is an extensive record, such as the criminal record at issue here, where there are multiple witnesses and interviews to coordinate,” SLO City Attorney Christine Dietrick told New Times via email. “We are seeking to ensure objectivity and separation between the investigative and staff advisory roles.”

Olcott earns $2,840 in compensation biweekly. As his paid leave enters its ninth week, he’s collected more than $11,000 between April and June.

SLO’s prolonged review has caused some frustration among residents who believe the bar video is adequate evidence for termination. In response to one such public comment at a May 21 SLO City Council meeting, Dietrick offered an explanation for the review’s comprehensiveness.

“While I know it can be incredibly

frustrating and incredibly opaque, there are privacy laws surrounding investigations of personnel matters,” Dietrick said on May 21. “There are procedural requirements that we are required to respect in order to protect the integrity of the investigation and any subsequent action.”

Part of the investigation includes obtaining Olcott’s entire trial record from 2018. Olcott initially faced felony battery charges for the assault, but a jury declined to convict him. In February 2019, Olcott entered a plea deal with the District Attorney’s Office for a misdemeanor and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and probation conditions.

Olcott hopes to serve his time outside the county. In the wake of his plea, he filed a request in court for a transfer to a “pay-to-stay” jail in Southern California— which is now up to the SLO County Sheriff’s Office to approve. Pay-to-stay jails are known for having upgraded incarceration conditions, with amenities like TVs and computer rooms.

Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tony Cipolla told New Times that the office has not received a proposed location for Olcott’s stay. But he said Sheriff Ian Parkinson would not object to the request as long as the proposed jail was court-approved and in a public facility—and if Olcott paid the cost.

Ilan Funke-Bilu, Olcott’s attorney, wrote in an April 23 letter to SLO city that Olcott has been the subject of “a public lynching,” and has received “expressed death threats” in the wake of the video’s release.

“My client has been threatened with beatings in and out of custody,” FunkeBilu wrote. “Gang members have apparently been conscripted to protect the honor of innocent women.”

Funke-Bilu said Olcott maintains his innocence.

“My client is a good man and an excellent city employee,” he wrote. “Our system of justice has spoken and should be respected.”

Cyclist sues SLO County airport for being knocked off his bike

A bicyclist claims that he was injured when a jet engine blast threw him off his bike while he was cycling past the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport.

In a lawsuit filed on June 7 against the airport, San Luis Obispo County, California Department of Transportation, and the Federal Aviation Administration, Ross Pepper alleges he was part of a group of seven or eight riders who were forcefully struck by a blast of air from an aircraft preparing to depart.

Pepper was traveling south on Broad Street as part of a group of 14 bike riders on June 13, 2018, shortly after 9 a.m.

As an aircraft readied for take-off from the southeastern corner of the airport, the riders were knocked into the way of oncoming traffic, the lawsuit claims.

According to the lawsuit, Pepper, who was 81 at the time of the accident, was riding a recumbent bike equipped with a fairing and body stocking when the “strong gust of wind from the jet blast” toppled Pepper to the ground, spun his body and bike 180 degrees and onto the pavement, causing him severe injuries and damaging his bike and property, the lawsuit states.

Pepper filed timely claims against the defendants, the lawsuit claims, but they were all denied. On Dec. 31, 2018, Pepper filed a claim against Caltrans, but he never received a response—thus the claim was deemed rejected, the lawsuit states.

As of June 13, none of the defendants listed on the lawsuit had filed a response in court. Δ —Karen Garcia

Keeping it residential

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CITY OF PASO ROBLES

Paso Robles and Grover Beach create different short-term rental ordinances for their communities

P

aso Robles and Grover Beach don’t have a short-term rental ordinance quite yet, and creating one has been a contentious issue since day one.

On June 5, the City Council approved the first reading of a short-term rental ordinance that will phase out non-hosted short-term rentals in the R-1 (single-family residential) zone and will set a maximum cap of 250 non-hosted short-term rental permits outside of the R-1 zone.

At the meeting, Mayor Steve Martin said that there was a lot of time poured into the creation of the ordinance from both sides of the issue, with 29 meetings to show for their trouble.

“I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I think we’ve all been thinking about this a lot, and I reminded myself that this whole issue, the discussion of this whole issue, started a few years ago right here in this room with a room similarly filled with people who were divided over the issue, but with one purpose. To make sure that everybody was treated fairly and that Paso Robles was kept a good place to live for people to maximize the use of their property without infringing on the rights of others,” Martin said.

The city has been tossing the idea around since 2015. In 2017, the City Council opted not to adopt an ordinance.

The issue was revisited a year later as the community voiced more concerns about vacation rentals in their neighborhoods.

The loudest concerns came from the residents who lived on Hilltop Drive.

During public comment at the June 5 meeting, Vicki Jeffcouch, a Hilltop area resident, urged the council to give the community its neighborhood back.

Jeffcouch said that before her neighbor died, she had him over for dinner and helped take care of him. After his passing, the home was sold and turned into a vacation rental. She said there’s always a bachelor party, bachelorette party, or even a family reunion happening at the house.

“I have a granddaughter living with me, and I no longer let her go in the front yard or down the driveway unless I’m out

there with her. I can’t let her go get the mail. She’s 8 years old and I have no idea who’s in that house,” she said.

The ordinance, after the approval of its second reading on June 18, will become effective in the middle of July.

It requires holders of existing shortterm rental business licenses to apply for a short-term rental permit when the ordinance becomes effective. The ordinance sets a maximum occupancy for daytime and nighttime and a minimum on-site parking requirement, with an exception process for properties with limited parking. A good neighbor brochure will be created for renters, and neighbors within 50 feet of a rental will be notified. A complaint hotline will be established with a 30-minute response requirement.

Home share (where the property is owneroccupied) permits aren’t restricted in any zone in the ordinace. It actually expands the definition of home share to allow a home to be rented without the owner present for a maximum of 30 days annually.

According to the staff report, shortterm rentals are positive revenue for the city. The city’s transient occupancy tax summary shows that $365,731 was generated in 2017 and $491,017 was received in 2018.

Heather Taber has a hand in the revenue that’s being generated, and she spoke at the June 5 meeting. A family that owns a short-term vacation rental in the downtown area currently employs her to clean and help maintain the home. Taber said, in her experience, a majority of people who rent these homes are families and middle-aged adults. She’s never had an issue when she cleans the home.

“The family I work for has their city

GIVING BACK NEIGHBORHOODS Paso Robles is trying to remove short-term rentals from its residential neighborhoods by phasing them out over a two-year time period.

licenses, pays their taxes, and I pay my taxes. I get a 1099. They are following all the requirements from the city. If these stipulations pass, I will be out of a job that helps support my family of five.

Businesses will shut down because of a lack of clientele, and the owners of shortterm rentals will suffer a huge financial burden,” Taber said.

A few days before Paso’s discussion, the city of Grover Beach also passed its first reading of a short-term rental ordinance.

During the June 3 Grover Beach City Council meeting, City Manager Matthew Bronson said the reason the city has had some issues with short-term rentals is probably because the city doesn’t currently regulate them.

“We have acknowledged that there have been a few that have been poorly managed and you’ve heard that from the public,” Bronson said, “and again, we

‘… The whole purpose to the ordinance is that we have no regulations and those people have been able to do, in essence, anything that they would like to do at this point.’

—Grover Beach City Manager Matthew Bronson

point to that’s the whole purpose to the ordinance is that we have no regulations and those people have been able to do, in essence, anything that they would like to do at this point.”

Grover Beach is taking a different approach with its ordinance; the city is allowing short-term rentals in residential and coastal zones. The ordinance will cap the rentals at 40 in the coastal zone and up to 60 in non-coastal zone areas.

The ordinance calls for the creation of a good neighbor brochure as well, a 30-minute contact to resolve issues, and a limit on the number of guests allowed in a house.

Once the Grover Beach City Council adopts its ordinance, permit information will become available on the city’s website and staff will send a letter to existing short-term rental owners, letting them know they are required to submit an application within 60 days of the effective date of the ordinance.

An initial permit will require a review by city staff and will cost a non-owneroccupied rental $100 and an owneroccupied rental $50. The ordinance will go before the City Council for its second reading at the end of June. ∆ Staff writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Camassa said they had a vision for helping companies develop a deep insight of their clients’ customers’ desires.

Traditionally, a marketing company comes up with an idea, designs it, and then sends it out into the world and waits for feedback.

“We do it a little bit differently; we actually go in, and we analyze our customers first and really develop an understanding of who they are, what their wants, needs, and desires are,” he said.

In some cases, EMPATH partners with technologists, anthropologists, neuroscientists, and other critical thinkers with postgraduate doctoral degrees who truly understand human behavior.

“We feel that the best way to resonate and connect with an audience is by evoking their emotions because we know that neuroscience tells us we make decisions based upon our emotions and logic. The very best marketing is one that speaks to you in a whisper and connects with you and encourages you to make a purchasing decision,” Camassa said.

The process aligns with EMPATH’s philosophy: deep understanding that drives meaningful innovation, which leads to building esteemed brands that move markets.

While EMPATH has delivered brand innovations for many Fortune 500 global brands and emerging enterprises, Camassa said opening an office on the Central Coast is about spreading their knowledge to local and new businesses in the area.

“We want to educate and help, but more importantly we want to bring livablewage jobs to this area so people can live here and thrive here. We’ve got a lot of retirees but let’s get some new blood in, fill up this area, so people can live here and enjoy the beautiful environment that we have,” he said.

Camassa said a lot of small businesses don’t see the value in services like EMPATH’s because they might not have the time, experience, expertise, or the funds.

“It is going to cost more, but long term, it’s going to pay itself back in dividends because the research is solid, and you’re building a brand for the long term,” he said.

With a smaller company, Camassa said

GUM HISTORY Austin Bertucci (left) explains the origins of Bubblegum Alley to two visitors from Phoenix, Arizona. Part of his job as the Downtown SLO ambassador is to engage with tourists about the city.

IN THE STREETS Proposed downtown SLO district would tackle safety, cleanliness with team of ‘ambassadors’

L

itter, graffiti, gum, needles, vomit, poop.

Austin Bertucci has seen— and cleaned—it all and more working as San Luis Obispo’s “downtown ambassador” over the past few years.

Donning a Downtown SLO cap, polo shirt, trash picker, and unflappable smile, Bertucci spends his weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. traversing Higuera, Marsh, and Monterey streets, his eyes peeled for something to clean up and someone to help out.

“Howdy folks, how’s it going?” Bertucci chipperly asks a group of four walking down Higuera Street on a Friday morning in May. A minute later, he’s offering to take a photo of a couple from Phoenix, Arizona, in Bubblegum Alley.

“This started in 1959,” Betucci says about the notorious gum-plastered walls.

“By the ’60s it was known as this place you put your gum.”

Bertucci cleans the sidewalks, trash cans, benches, street signs, and tree grates. He talks with locals, tourists, and downtown business owners and employees. He interacts with transients— checks on their well-being, reminds them of city rules, and directs them to services.

He reports illegal or unsafe activities he observes to the police, from vandalism to hard drug use.

“I’m a face of downtown SLO,” Bertucci tells New Times about his job.

That role can be a lot of fun (like explaining Bubblegum Alley), a little scary (like encountering unsafe behaviors), and sometimes pretty gross.

“Any sort of feces I’ll remove,” he says.

“We try to follow city ordinances as best we can, and there’s an ordinance against letting water go into the gutter. What I have to do is use towels to kind of soak

whatever it is—say it’s puke, poop, ice cream—as I’m removing it. I have to put towels to soak it up.”

“It can be overwhelming,” he adds with a chuckle. “There’s a lot that goes on downtown.”

Bertucci’s job is also overwhelming in part because he’s the only guy doing it. Downtown business leaders hope to change that soon.

The Downtown SLO association, which employs Bertucci as its ambassador, is currently working to muster support from downtown property owners to start a new Property-Based Improvement District (PBID). That district, if formed over this summer and fall, would collect assessments from about 125 property owners in its boundaries to be used to hire four to five more ambassadors like Bertucci. Beginning in January 2020, Downtown SLO could have a full-fledged “clean and safe” program.

“We’d have ambassadors on the ground seven days a week,” explained Bettina Swigger, CEO of Downtown SLO. “Seeing the success we’ve had with the one ambassador—he’s beloved by the business owners. We know we need more.”

Supporters of the PBID—which include the city of SLO and the SLO Chamber of Commerce—view the effort as an opportunity to make progress on long-standing concerns about safety and cleanliness downtown, at a moment when two large hotels are set to open on its streets to worldwide visitors. Its opponents argue that the district is an inequitable approach to accomplish unrealistic or misguided goals.

“This initiative is an ineffective solution to the issues at hand,” potential PBID member Rachael Drake said at a May 21 SLO City Council meeting. “Raising

BY PETER JOHNSON PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM taxes by a select few properties, whether business owners or homeowners, to fund a cleaner downtown, when everyone enjoys downtown, doesn’t seem right.”

In order to pass, the PBID must earn majority approval from the property owners in its boundaries—first in a petition drive, and then in a mail-in vote.

It’s currently in the petition-signing phase, and the outcome remains up in the air. A previous proposal, with broader boundaries, failed to garner enough signatures earlier this year.

‘Where we need to go’

The germ of the idea to start a PBID and grow the ambassador program came out of a survey of the downtown business community in 2017.

In it, more than 300 respondents concluded that parking, homelessness and unsafe behaviors, and general cleanliness were downtown’s top problems.

With the city in charge of providing

MAP COURTESY OF DOWNTOWN SLO

parking, Downtown SLO zeroed in on the latter two concerns for action.

“It’s an issue,” Swigger said specifically about safety and cleanliness. “We do see some drug dealing going on. We see needles show up. And that’s not the image we want to project for our beautiful, wholesome downtown. We want people to be welcome here, not feel threatened.”

First formed in 1975 as a Business Improvement Association, Downtown SLO is best known as the group behind Thursday Farmers’ Markets and summer Concerts in the Plaza. The current business assessments that fund the organization, though, don’t provide enough revenue to launch a clean and safe program beyond Bertucci. So, in the wake of the 2017 survey, a consultant recommended a PBID. “Honestly, none of us had heard of it,” said Pat Arnold, president of Downtown SLO, owner of the downtown Creamery property, and CEO of Covelop. “We did more outreach and in September did a trip to Ventura and Pasadena and were able to see PBIDs in action. ... We really realized this is where we need to go.”

PBIDs are not all that common in downtowns, but they’re not rare, either.

About 40 PBIDs exist in California, and more than 1,000 are nationwide, according to Downtown SLO. The closest PBID to SLO is in downtown Ventura. A PBID is valid for five years, after which its members must vote again to renew it.

A PBID’s boundaries can also be adjusted after five years.

On their field trip south, Downtown SLO leaders said that they were impressed by the cleanliness of those cities and the teams of ambassadors who worked their streets.

“It’s been amazing to see what they have,” Swigger said. “[In Ventura] we saw two of their ambassadors on Sunday morning. They’re out sweeping, cleaning up stuff; you can’t even see a leaf on the sidewalk, it’s so clean. There’s no graffiti.

It just feels different. It doesn’t feel antiseptic, it just feels cared for.”

With help from Kentucky-based consultant Block by Block, which runs clean and safe programs in downtowns across the country (and would run SLO’s), Downtown SLO started putting together a PBID proposal.

Initially, the proposed district included in its boundaries segments of Higuera and Monterey streets that extended several blocks past Santa Rosa Street, out of the heart of downtown. A proposed annual budget of $800,000 would have funded an eight-member ambassador team.

But that version of the district quickly ran into opposition. Property owners on the periphery, particularly, didn’t see the benefit of paying into a program that they felt would only really help downtown’s nucleus. So Swigger and Downtown SLO went back to the drawing board, and decided to essentially cut the scope of the PBID in half.

“We learned a lot,” Swigger said. “We didn’t hear anybody who said they thought the services were not needed. They just disagreed about where the services should be provided BOUNDARIES The proposed boundaries for a Property-Based Improvement District in downtown SLO are outlined in green. If approved by the majority of properties within it, the district would generate $400,000 per year for Downtown SLO.

and, of course, who should pay for it.”

Now, the revised PBID stretches from Nipomo Street to Osos Street (the general boundaries of Farmers’ Market), and from Palm Street to Marsh Street.

The property assessments—which are based on a calculation combining lot square footage, building square footage, and linear frontage—would net a total of $400,000 per year, to fund a program with four to five ambassadors.

An owner of a 2,500-square-foot commercial building with a 40-foot linear frontage would pay about $715 annually into the PBID. Single-family residences and nonprofit owners would get special rates—$300 maximum assessments on single-family homes and 50 percent discounts for nonprofits.

To those who believe in the benefits of launching a clean and safe program, the PBID represents a chance to take a proactive step on improving the downtown environment.

“I see it as an opportunity for us to address issues that a lot of people mention, instead of just whining about them,” said Laura Mullen, president of the HumanKind Fair Trade on Monterey Street. “I think we definitely need more people like Austin [Bertucci]—he’s just fabulous. To think of what could happen if we had more Austins.”

Eyes and ears

The team of downtown ambassadors, if assembled in a PBID-funded program, would split into two separate groups, one focused on cleaning and the other on outreach.

One of the most important and sensitive responsibilities of the outreach ambassadors would be to develop productive and positive relationships with the transient population downtown.

That’s a task that Bertucci has successfully embraced throughout his years on the job, according to Downtown SLO. “The calm and respectful interactions he has with those people directly affects how they function downtown,” said Downtown SLO President Arnold.

“There are some he can’t click with, but he’s able to talk to them. His presence and demeanor just lowers the tension downtown.”

With additional ambassadors on the streets, under a structured program run by Block by Block, Downtown SLO believes it can make bigger strides in both helping homeless individuals and at the same time starting to reverse perceptions about safety downtown.

“I just know I have a lot of people make comments on the homeless—‘I don’t feel comfortable,’” Arnold said. “Perception is reality. It’s tough to turn that around.”

The presence of ambassadors not only has the chance to create a safer-feeling environment for visitors, Arnold argued, it can also provide resources to those needing help. Clean and safe programs, like the one SLO leaders saw in Ventura, keep ambassadors in close contact with local service providers and shelters.

“They’re very keyed in with Ventura mental health,” Arnold said. “Their ambassadors can actually check people into their homeless shelter. It’s not a person calling the front desk.”

CLEAN STREETS Downtown SLO’s current ambassador, Austin Bertucci, cleans pretty much everything downtown— benches, trash cans, plaques, and more— and even does a little tree trimming.

MAKING THE PITCH Bettina Swigger, CEO of Downtown SLO, gives a presentation to downtown property and business owners on June 7 about the benefits of forming a Property-Based Improvement District.

Grace McIntosh, deputy director of CAPSLO, which operates the new 40 Prado Homeless Services Center in SLO, told New Times she supported alternative methods to address homelessness downtown outside of law enforcement—and hoped CAPSLO could have a “collaborative partnership” with Downtown SLO if the ambassador program forms.

“Any and all opportunities that homeless individuals can have to know about what resources are available, but not only that, get assistance in accessing those resources ... is great,” McIntosh said.

The SLO Police Department is also in support of the plans for a PBID. Calling ambassadors “extra eyes and ears,” department officials said their presence would help contribute to a more secure downtown environment.

“Whether it’s a quick clean-up of graffiti on a trash can or a sticker on a pole,” SLOPD Capt. Brian Amoroso told New Times, “some of those crimes are what we called the broken window theory. If you leave graffiti on a trash can today, tomorrow there’ll be three trash cans graffitied. ... It tends to grow if you tolerate it.”

Amoroso also discussed how SLOPD has found success this year working with a mental health professional on its Community Action Team on homelessness. While a downtown ambassador wouldn’t have nearly the same level of expertise as a social worker, having another street-clothed authority figure interacting with the homeless, trying to build trust and extend help, would be a positive step, he said.

“No matter how nice or friendly a police officer may be, there’s still the overall perception of who we are and what we’re wearing, and we’re aware of that,” Amoroso said.

Costs, equity, and parking

On June 7, in Downtown SLO’s office on Chorro Street, a few dozen downtown property and business owners convened to hear an informational presentation about the PBID and ambassador program.

In attendance, as skeptics, were Palm Theatre owner Jim Dee and his neighbor, Paul Kwong, of Mee Heng Low Noodle House.

Both business owners say they’ve been hit hard by the construction of the neighboring Hotel San Luis Obispo. After three long years of construction, the 78room luxury hotel is set to open sometime this month, hosting up to 350 guests—the same guests that Downtown SLO hopes

its future ambassadors will help welcome.

Dee lamented that irony and what he feels is his and downtown’s biggest unsolved issue: parking.

“My building’s getting thrashed and now they’re asking me to pay money to beautify downtown,” Dee told New Times on June 7. “The bottom line is these hotels have taken away parking.”

While many downtown and SLO city groups have been supportive of the push for a PBID, some members like Dee and Kwong aren’t connecting with the efforts, and will vote “no.” Others, too, are arguing that the burden of a clean and safe downtown should not have to fall on the shoulders of a few dozen property owners.

“There’s no question the proposed PBID is something that’s needed,” resident Fred Vernacchia said to SLO City Council members on May 21. “The problem I’m having is that this really should be a city-provided service, not something that should be provided by a private organization. ... The downtown area is a resource for all people.”

In response to those arguments, SLO city officials have countered that the city is making “significant” investments in the downtown area. In its recently adopted 2019-21 financial plan, the City Council named downtown vitality as a major city goal, investing about $1 million in services to the downtown in 2019-20.

“We’ve got the bike [police] officers assigned to downtown, street sweeping, tree maintenance, several million [dollars] of capital investments,” SLO Deputy City Manager Greg Hermann told New Times. “When you think about the ambassador program, that’s in addition to, not a replacement of, the services provided by the city.”

Amid grumbles that the PBID assessment just adds more to the already increasing costs of doing business downtown, Downtown SLO President Arnold said he doesn’t believe it’ll be a backbreaker for owners or tenants—on the contrary, he believes it’s a bargain.

“When you’re talking about rents that range from $1.50 to $5 per foot, and we’re talking about $0.02 to $0.04 per foot [for the PBID], it’s hard to argue that it will make a significant impact to the bottom line,” Arnold said. “That small charge, though, will bring out a huge change in terms of working to improve cleanliness, safety, and the vitality of our downtown. ... At the end of the day, I don’t think the PBID will be a determining factor in pricing the local small businesses out.” Δ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

his is my personal invitation for you to come to my backyard and meet the citizens of Creston.

Mark your calendar for Wednesday, June 19. Come to our Creston Advisory Body (CAB) meeting held at the Creston Community Church, 5170 O’Donovan Road in Creston. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

At this CAB meeting, two proposed cannabis projects will be reviewed by the CAB board for community recommendation to the SLO County Department of Planning and Building.

The CAB is the only way we can give direct input on any cannabis project that impacts our community. Unfortunately, only Big Cannabis has had inputs to this point—the public has not had the same opportunities to shape the county’s cannabis policies.

It’s all about land use, not cannabis use. You missed the essence of my May 26 letter to the Board of Supervisors and the process used by the Planning Commission and Department of Planning and Building in your June 6 column (“Big NIMBY shuffle”).

In contrast to your editorial comments about the SLO County Board of Supervisors, your editorial missed the residential agriculture public’s real issues with Big Cannabis. At this CAB meeting, you will actually see and hear Small Town America exercise its civic rights

and provide our points of view on why we do not want Big Cannabis projects forced into our backyards.

You might even gain insights to some of the facts from my letter that were discussed at the June 4 Board of Supervisors meeting: 1. Eliminate industrial cannabis manufacturing on agricultural zoned land. Chemical extraction of THC using ethanol as solvent and/or liquid carbon dioxide at high pressures is an explosion and fire risk. This is not “farm to table”; this is industrial chemical manufacturing.

2. Include residential dwelling units in the “sensitive receptor” definition and site restrictions. Homes and families should have the same setback restrictions of 1,000 feet as schools, day care facilities, and elder care centers from a cannabis project.

3. Keep the cultivation of cannabis indoors and limited to sealed greenhouses that do not vent to the atmosphere. The nuisance odors from cannabis cannot be managed with outdoor cultivation.

Therefore, in proximity to residential agriculture neighborhoods, require indoor cultivation technologies to mitigate this air pollution. Implement a set of strict density limitations for the number of cannabis cultivation sites that may be near each other in a neighborhood area.

4. Require compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act by ending undue exemptions to cannabis projects. Any business that constructs new buildings must go through an environmental study and if warranted an environmental review per state law.

Big cannabis should not be exempt from

Big Cannabis brings negative impacts to our residential agriculture community, health, safety, homes, and families. Not just in Creston, but across the county. That’s why we don’t want to be forced to have Big Cannabis in our backyards. For reference and fact-based information, check out slocannabiswatchgroup.org.

Letters What about the common welfare?

In “Right to choose” (May 30), Nicole Dorfman and Sara Semmes make an impassioned plea for a woman’s “right to make fundamental medical decisions regarding her family” and equate the right to abortion to the right to not vaccinate your child. They claim, “There is no place for such government intrusion in private health matters.”

As a former RN, who worked at large teaching hospitals in New York when I was young, my experience taught me to welcome the coming of Planned Parenthood and the legalization of abortion. We all knew rich women never had a problem ending an unwanted pregnancy. Their doctors initiated the bleeding in the office or home, and the hospitals had to perform the clean-up.

It was the poor, hapless, hopeless girl or woman who had no recourse but the dangerous, sometimes fatal, back-alley abortion.

Furthermore, reading the comments of some of those who propose (or legislated) no hope for those made pregnant by rape or incest, I wonder what their response would be if it were their adolescent child who was forced to risk her health or life to carry that fetus to term and raise it.

These are the reasons I am appalled by the recent rush of bans legislated primarily by men who are blind to the implications for their own daughters.

The abortion question, however, is not analogous to the demand by families who do not want their own children vaccinated but feel they have a right to endanger other people’s children by allowing their unvaccinated child to be in close contact with others in schools, parks, playgrounds, etc. If their desire to withhold their children’s vaccination for the prevention of possibly life-threatening diseases is sincerely a statement of private rights to “freedom,” then they should be willing to sequester their children forever. Public officials owe that common sense “solution” to protecting the common welfare.

I am writing in response to the demands by Roger Burton (“Dear New Times,” June 6) and others that your regular contributor Al Fonzi be barred from your pages.

The opinions of those with whom we disagree are the opinions that we most need to hear. No one is well-served by limiting themselves to an ideological “echo chamber“ in which they are exposed only to the thoughts of the like-minded.

You can always hire a cheerleader for that, or a skilled bartender can always accommodate the need for confirmation, at least if a generous tip is proffered.

While I am conservative, I keep up with the thoughts of those on the left and would never try to censor them, no matter how annoying I may find them. I trust myself to be able to discern what opinions are worth considering, and which opinions are, well, crazy. I don’t need to be protected.

While Mr. Fonzi is undeniably conservative, I have found him to be thoughtful, reasoned and, yes, relatively moderate. His opinions won’t hurt you any more than some of the ranting on the left will hurt me.

Lt. Col. Al Fonzi did a responsible job of briefing us on potential power interruptions, “If the lights go out” (June 6). However, Fonzi included only some of the aftermath of 2012’s Superstorm Sandy. After Sandy, Connecticut legislators mandated that energy distribution systems be rebuilt with the capability to be “islanded,” or separated and operated independently, from the investor-owned utility power distribution grid during times of regional power failure to ensure the apocalypse insinuated by Fonzi would be avoided.

Now, many communities in Connecticut and other Northeastern states are ensured of critical services like water, cold milk, beer, and gasoline to quell the roving bands of looters Fonzi seems to think are inevitable.

Over the next two months, San Luis Obispo County will consider joining the cities of San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, et al, in the well-established Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP) program already serving Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties. By the bylaws of the MBCP, the funds generated from selling electricity to its customers is reinvested in the communities it serves rather than distributed to shareholders.

MBCP has a program in place to fund 50 percent of microgrid projects proposed by municipalities, community services districts, and businesses to create the resilient infrastructure identified as lacking.

Thank you, Pacific Beach High

I want to acknowledge Pacific Beach High School (PBHS) for my son’s amazing success. He was struggling at San Luis Obispo High School. Then the SLOHS administration told me about PBHS. PBHS is a very small high school (about 40 students per grade) designed for underperforming students like him.

Their classrooms have a much better student-teacher ratio with an average of 13 students per teacher. The average class size in 2011-12 was 21.2 pupils for public elementary schools and 26.8 pupils for public secondary schools in the U.S. My son acknowledges that so much more one-on-one time with the teachers is what helped and motivated him. He finished his high school career a semester early by taking on extra classes (you can do that at PBHS), and taking them seriously.

He was one of only three graduates to earn a prestigious award for perseverance in turning his academic career around.

Can you imagine what could happen to America’s next generation if we spent enough on education that all students had such a low student-teacher ratio K-12?

If your 10th and 12th grade student is struggling, then be sure to ask about PBHS or a school like it. They have more teachers per student, but I also understand that one of their primary goals is to prepare students to attend community college. Look for that feature also when considering an alternative high school.

Again, I want to publicly acknowledge PBHS for turning my son’s academic career around. Kudos to all the teachers and staff at PBHS. Toby San Luis Obispo LETTERS continued page 16

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AMY HEWES

Resuscitating recycling

A

bout a month ago, an article in the Sacramento News & Review asked, “Is recycling still worth it?”

Garbage has never been a sexy environmental issue. Glaciers calving spectacularly into the sea, polar bears stranded on bitty ice floes, sea birds suffocating on oil—these images can make you cry. These images are incontrovertible proof that recycling will always be worth it.

And yet new economics are threatening the viability of proven recycling programs.

For 33 years, ever since the bottle bill legislation made beverage containers in California refundable, we’ve accepted recycling as a bedrock principle of Earth stewardship. And as landfills neared capacity, we became aware of the true costs of our throwaway society. The specter of stinking refuse piling to the sky motivated communities across California to establish curbside pickup and recycling services, like our model program here in San Luis Obispo.

Recycling, in fact, educated many of us about our individual responsibility to safeguard Earth’s resources. The simple act of redeeming our beverage containers made us partners in cutting pollution.

When we recycled that aluminum can, we saved 92 percent of the energy required to make a new container.

Then there’s the litter issue. Remember cans and bottles littering the beach?

Remember those insidious pull-tabs? The horror!

We acted. The state Legislature and cities and counties accepted the

responsibility to conserve resources, prevent pollution, and protect the environment through waste reduction and recycling policies and programs.

By 2013, the bottle bill—along with the Legislature’s passage of a comprehensive statewide recycling goal of 50 percent, and near-universal community curbside collection—resulted in California achieving an impressive 85 percent recycling rate.

Now the hard question: Why has that rate dropped to 79 percent? Why can’t you find a buyback recycling center nearby?

According to Californians Against Waste (CAW), a grassroots group founded in 1977 to advocate for the bottle bill, we’ve lost as many as 50 percent of the mom-and-pop buyback centers in Northern California; we’re down 30 percent in LA. Patti Toews, program director for the SLO County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA), explained to me, “We have 11 ‘dead zones’ in our county which have no consumer recycling options, including Oceano, Morro Bay, and throughout unincorporated areas.

“Steve’s Recycling in Los Osos only opens on Saturday, and the next closest centers are clear up in Paso and Creston.”

Who’s to blame? China, India, and other Southeast Asian countries have stopped accepting our recyclables, which often arrived contaminated with food and non-recyclables—and which needed expensive sorting.

Can’t we just tariff them to force them

on. Their only barrier to accomplishing this stupidity is us conservatives and our ability to express our feelings about the goodness of our country and the need to protect our Constitution.

As someone who does not know Al Fonzi, has never met him nor communicated with him and, in fact, rarely reads his articles as I’d prefer to spend my time reading those of the opposition, I think it would be a big mistake to remove his column from the New Times. Who, exactly, would you find to replace him that could represent the thoughts and ideas of conservatives while at the same time being acceptable to the left? The answer is no one!

Al Fonzi is a voice that should be heard in our community, and if the left has a problem with his point of view, their option is to respond with better ideas that I’m sure New Times would be happy to publish. And if they have no better ideas, perhaps they should wake up and join us, the team that’s winning.

Gary Wechter Arroyo Grande

Silencing Al Fonzi would be a mistake I couldn’t help but notice two letters to the editor (“Valuable space” by Raoul Wise on May 30 and “Dear New Times”

by Roger Burton on June 6) that call for silencing Al Fonzi. This may or may not be a coordinated effort, but character assassination is part and parcel of the strategy of the left (the Marxists, the Communists, the Islamists, and the Democrats) in their effort to silence those with ideas and arguments they just cannot intellectually counter.

We see this every day on college campuses with limitations and interruptions of free speech only when the speech comes from a conservative.

We see examples of it in the media such as when the Democratic National Committee won’t allow any presidential debates to be hosted by Fox News. We see it in public when conservatives are unwilling to express their support of the president by wearing MAGA hats for fear of retribution and violence.

The left would like to be the sole provider of ridiculous ideas and distortions of reality like the Green New Deal, no crisis at our border, Medicare for all, the president should be in prison, a living wage for all, homes for the homeless, free abortion up to date of birth, replace capitalism with socialism and so

to take our garbage? Trump’s favorite shortsighted, strong-arm policy tool is not the answer; the problem is way too complex.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., costs have skyrocketed for other reasons. CAW Director Mark Murray explains that a precipitous drop in the scrap market has made the cost of collection and processing more expensive than the value of materials. Labor and health insurance expenditures have jumped. The original bottle bill anticipated market fluctuations and included “back-end” compensation for recycling centers in order to ensure market stability.

Trouble is, those compensation rates were calculated long before today’s costs.

Take plastics, which have overtaken a larger and larger portion of packaging because, among other reasons, fracking has made greenhouse-gas-producing plastics cheap in comparison to glass or aluminum.

“Take a deep breath,” Toews said. “This is change; we can adapt.”

Happily, John Ryan, local manager of the Cold Canyon process facility, had the foresight 10 years ago to develop domestic partnerships.

“We send our cardboard to a mill in Oxnard, glass goes to Strategic Materials in Modesto, Gallo buys all our curbside collection glass containers, and we sell our aluminum to Anheuser Busch and Coors,” he said.

Can we further adapt to encourage more domestic markets? Yes. Assemblywoman Susan Eggman (D-Stockton) introduced AB 1583, the California Recycling Market Development

Act. The bill stimulates our recycling infrastructure through sales tax exemptions, low interest loans, and new incentive payment programs. The Assembly has already approved the bill.

You can help ensure Senate passage with a quick call to Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) to request his support.

Let’s also update landfill tip fees to reflect the true cost of waste disposal and regulation. Let’s use that new money— including the $5 million in reserves accumulated by the IWMA—to provide seed money and technical assistance grants to help re-establish and support those mom-and-pop buyback centers and to better educate us all on how, what, and where to recycle.

There’s a lot more that can be done to make producers take full responsibility for the life cycle of their products. Product price should reflect end-of-life waste management, right?

But you and I also have a responsibility.

Figure out what can and can’t be recycled. “Wishful recycling” means throwing whatever you want to be recyclable into the bin. IWMA has a very handy recycling guide at iwma.com/guide/.

Each of us can exercise our purchasing power to determine the market share of recyclables. As Toews points out, “You can make recycling happen when you buy an item.”

Fact is, markets respond to consumer demand. And you and I are the consumers. ∆ Amy Hewes was one of the founders of Californians Against Waste. Send comments through the editor at clanham@ newtimesslo.com.

Opinion

The Shredder

Snob polisher D on’t you wish downtown San Luis Obispo could be more like Zurich or Monte Carlo or Côte d’Azur instead of the grimy, homeless-infested shithole that it is? What a dump!

“Downtown ambassador” Austin Bertucci is basically the only thing standing between livability and downtown SLO sliding into bombedout Beirut-like squalor. Bertucci walks around downtown, keeping things tidy and being friendly to everyone. He’s hired

by Downtown SLO, which organizes the Thursday night Farmers’ Market and the summertime Concerts in the Plaza series, among other things.

“We do see some drug dealing going on. We see needles show up,” Downtown SLO CEO Bettina Swigger told New Times in this week’s cover story (“In the streets,” p. 10), which also lamented all the puke and poop that Bertucci cleans up in the former Happiest Place in America.

Good grief! We’ve got to do something about this! (Side note: Drug dealing?

Where, Bettina? Please private message me. It’s for research, I swear!)

The nonprofit formerly known as the Business Improvement Association founded in 1975, the Downtown Association in 1998, and rebranded as Downtown SLO in 2017, is funded by downtown businesses, which are assessed fees based on their income. The more they earn, the more they pay, like it or not.

Opting out isn’t an option.

Now Downtown SLO wants to create a Property-Based Improvement District (PBID), which instead of extracting more money from business owners— many of whom can barely afford to pay the absurd $2.50 to $5 per square foot rents—plans to extract money from property owners to pay for the program that would add four more downtown ambassadors like Bertucci to keep things clean, take photos of tourists in Bubblegum Alley, and talk to homeless folks about panhandling and loitering rules as well as homeless services … located way over there, out of the downtown, like, near the SLO Wastewater Treatment Facility.

“Have a nice walk!”

If you’re a business owner who happens to also own the property your business is in, think of this proposal as a twofer, as in you get to pay twice, sucker! Of course, let’s face it. If you’re renting or leasing, and your property owner ends up paying for the PBID, you know you’re going to pay for it anyway in increased rents, right? That’s real trickle-down economics at work, folks!

Is it just me, or does it already seem like cool old downtown SLO has been gentrified to the point that mom-and-pop businesses can’t afford to be here? It’s one national chain after another! Do we really

need another Banana Republic-like store selling V-neck pullovers in taupe? Oh, I’m sorry! I meant “oatmeal” or “ecru” or “buff” or “khaki” or … dammit, it’s beige, people!

It’s all beige!

And to call the downtown “dirty” seems like rank relativism—it seems pretty freaking clean to me. If you expect your sidewalks polished to a high sheen, move to Zurich for Christ’s sake!

And while I’m ranting, what’s up with Hotel Cerro and Hotel SLO, and who are they catering to? The Tribune has reported that Hotel Cerro rooms will be $285 to $805 excluding taxes, and Hotel SLO will be $400 to $1,110 excluding taxes. Gulp! Who are these people who can afford these rooms, and why do they want to come to needle- and homelessridden SLO? Slumming?

Currently, Downtown SLO is soliciting petition signatures for the potential PBID from the roughly 125 property owners affected. If they gather sufficient signatures, it will be voted on, and if 51 percent of property owners vote yes, 100 percent of the property owners in the district will be forced to pay. Opting out will not be an option.

“This initiative is an ineffective solution to the issues at hand,” potential PBID member Rachael Drake told the SLO City Council on May 21. “Raising taxes by a select few properties, whether business owners or home owners, to fund

a cleaner downtown, when everyone enjoys downtown, doesn’t seem right.”

Well, not everyone “enjoys” downtown.

Ask around and you’ll find a lot of people refuse to come to downtown because a) they can’t find parking, b) they can find parking but the meters at $2 an hour seem excessive, or c) they already bought a beige V-neck sweater online for half the price and downtown SLO has turned into pretentious Snootsville.

You think it’s snooty now, wait until out-of-towners paying a thousand bucks a night to stay here show up in their RollsRoyces asking you for Grey Poupon.

No dig on Bertucci or the idea of having more like him patrolling downtown. He does a terrific service, and if property owners want to pay for more like him, go for it, but as former NYC mayoral candidate Jimmy McMillan and his The Rent Is Too Damn High political party said, “The rent is too damn high!”

Seriously!

The old Rileys/Copeland Sports building has been sitting empty for years! Is it really better to write off the loss of an empty building than make rents affordable enough to allow entrepreneurial spirit to flourish downtown? Sadly, apparently it is. Look out, Zurich! We’re gunning for you! ∆ The Shredder wants to open a artisanal free-range organic widget shop in downtown SLO but can’t afford the rents.

Summer’s arrived Yeah, I know it’s still spring, but summer shows are here

T

he mini heat wave we’ve been enjoying is coming to an end as we return to seasonal low-70s temps, but this week’s concert schedule has summertime written all over it.

For starters, Otter Productions Inc. is bringing Rebelution on their Good Vibes Summer Tour to the Avila Beach Golf Resort next Thursday, June 20 (5 p.m.; all ages; $25 to $165 at Boo Boo Records and eventbrite.com), with Protoje, Durand Jones & The Indications, and DJ Mackle.

Grammy-nominated reggae/rock band Rebelution formed in Isla Vista while the members were UCSB students, but the group has grown into a touring powerhouse with six albums to its credit. Falling into Place (2016) was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 2017 Grammy Awards. Their most recent album is 2018’s Free Rein. If you dig their softer side, check out the 2015 acoustic rerecording of the 2014 album, Count Me In. This is upbeat reggae with R&B, jazz, and rock influences that will have the beach crowd pumped!

ACOUSTIC SUNSET CONCERT SERIES Features

June 18 (7 p.m.; all ages; $45 to $65 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com), with Common Kings opening.

Ska-punk act Sublime hit the ground running in 1988 but really found their stride with their debut album, 40oz. to Freedom (1992). They followed up in 1994 with Robbin’ the Hood, which further cemented their rep as an amazing party band. Their original singer, Bradley Nowell, was awesome, but they missed a lot of gigs thanks to his drug use. He died of a heroin overdose in 1996, which effectively ended the band.

Two months after Nowell’s death, the band released its third, self-titled album, which spawned megahits such as “What I Got,” “Santeria,” “Wrong Way,” “Doin’ Time,” and “April 26, 1992 (Miami).”

In 2009, the band’s surviving members reformed with Sublime super fan Rome Ramirez taking Nowell’s place as lead singer and guitarist, but after they performed at Cypress Hill’s Smokeout Festival, Nowell’s estate sued since it controlled the Sublime name. Hence, Sublime with Rome was born. They’ve gone on to record three studio albums of their own.

This show will be jumping!

That’s My Dog! So far I’ve told you about both Friday and Saturday of the June 21 to 23 Live Oak Music Festival (tickets and info at liveoakfest.org), both of which boast stellar lineups, but Sunday, June 23, might be the best day yet, thanks in large part to headliner folk pop singersongwriter Brett Dennen, who writes irresistible feel-good songs.

You can’t listen to “Wild Child” or “Already Gone” or “Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog)” without smiling. With his shock of red hair and laid-back attitude, there’s no better way to slide into the end of another Live Oak—this one returned to SLO County at El Chorro Regional Park.

The Canadian electrofunk duo uses “talkboxes, vintage drum machines, and gleamingly plastic synth tones” to create its soulful dance party sounds.

Singer-songwriter Bill Callahan, who’s performed under the moniker Smog, plays the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Sunday, June 16 (8 p.m.; PHOTO COURTESY OF ROSE COLORED WORLD 18-and-older; $21 at slobrew.com).

Mexican-American rocker Alejandro Escovedo plays the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Tuesday, June 18 (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $20 at slobrew.com). He’s touring in support of The Crossing.

“This says more about me than any of my records without it being a record about me,” Escovedo said in press materials about the themed album that “tells the tale of two boys, one from Mexico, one from Italy, who meet in Texas to chase their American rock ’n’ roll dreams.”

The day starts at 8 a.m. with father/ daughter charmers Chris Beland & Harmony on the Hotlicks Stage, followed by folky classical world music proponents Cimo Brothers at 9 a.m.

At 10 a.m., the entertainment moves to the Main Stage with traditional gospel quartet The Sons of the Soul Revivers, then indie folk rock ’n’ soul act Moonshiner Collective at 11:30 a.m., and then gifted singer-songwriter John Craigie at 1 p.m., playing until the afternoon break at 2:15. The action returns to the Main Stage at 5 p.m. with African desert rock act Bombino, before Dennen closes things out.

In between, you can join bluegrass musician Phil Salazar for a jamming workshop on Stage Too from noon to 1:30 p.m., see American roots act Noach Tangeras Band in the Beer Garden from 2:15 to 3 p.m., see soul act Midtown Social on Stage Too from 2:45 to 3:30 p.m., or watch the adorable Kids’ Talent Show on the Children’s Stage from 3 to 4:30 p.m.

Divine Heavenly Bodies art show takes inspiration from dance

I

t kept on happening. Even though she was a business major, Deprise Brescia continued falling asleep in her business classes. Oops.

“It was so incredibly boring,” said Brescia, a Paso Robles-based artist.

So Brescia changed her major to dance, and somewhere along the line she fell in love with creating visual two- and threedimensional art as well. Her dance-inspired art show, Heavenly Bodies, is currently on display at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles. The exhibit takes inspiration from the human form—both male and female— planetary grids, and love.

“My passion is really dance and movement,” Brescia said. “I feel like the human body is divine and made in the image of God or whatever you want to call God. The body is an amazing tool that we have to go through the human experience.”

Brescia describes her artistic style for this show as “old world and new world meeting.” One piece, her encaustic painting titled Masquerade of Love, shows from a profile view two lovers intertwined, wearing masks. The encaustic medium itself is ancient, traditionally a blend of beeswax and resin heated to hold pigment and create a distinctive texture. At first glance, I mistook one of the lovers for the Hindu god, Ganesh. Brescia wasn’t surprised.

“That piece is interesting On because everyone display sees something Heavenly Bodies, which different,” she said. features the work of artist “The piece is about Deprise Brescia, will be love and that when on display at Studios on we finally get to the Park in Paso Robles through June 30.

PICTURE PERFECT The Flamenco Dancer, an encaustic painting by Deprise Brescia, took shape to fit into a particular antique frame the artist already had.

While Brescia was never a prima ballerina (she dabbled in all forms of dance but specialized in jazz), she has a great appreciation for ballet, which is considered the foundation of all dance.

Her encaustic painting, And Then There Were Three, shows three ballerinas en pointe.

“I cry when I go see the ballet,” Brescia said. “I love the strength of it. The three dancers symbolize mind, body, and spirit.”

Brescia still dances, but just for fun now. Her main focus is on creating multimedia art.

“Now I’m able to be more still and do art,” Brescia said. “When I was younger, I needed that five hours a day of hard-core movement.” Δ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is dancing in the moonlight. Contact her at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

Idealism meets realism

PHOTO COURTESY OF FARMLORE FILMS

J

ohn Chester (Lost in Woonsocket, Rock Prophecies) directs this documentary about his and his wife’s developing a sustainable farm on a 200acre patch of depleted ground in Ventura County. They work to rehabilitate the soil, plant orchards and row crops, and raise a variety of animals. Hoping to live in harmony with nature, they discover that nature isn’t always interested in living in harmony with them. (91 min.)

Glen John and Molly Chester are idealists through and through. They want to live a life of purpose, and Molly—a personal chef who records online cooking tutorials—dreams of living on a farm and raising all their food. When their rescue dog, Todd, gets them evicted from their apartment for excessive barking, they see it as an opportunity to make Molly’s dream come true. Through investors who share their vision of a sustainable agriculture model, they raise enough money to buy Apricot Lane Farms, a dusty patch of earth that had been foreclosed on twice. They had no experience. What made them think they’d be able to make this farm work in the midst of California’s brutal drought?

Alan York—a soil, plant, and biodynamic consultant—told them it was possible to rejuvenate the land, and a lot of the film has to do with their ongoing struggle through diversification to create the fertile ground that York envisions. It’s an inspiring dream, and York promises them that when balance is restored to the land, profitability will come. The Chesters can’t seem to explain that to the flocks of birds that feast on their stone fruit trees; the gophers that eat the roots out from under the trees, killing them; and the coyotes that slaughter their chickens— initially the only profitable part of the farm—en masse. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll watch in wonder through the magic of birth, death, and everything in between. Mostly, I was reminded of how unbelievably difficult farming can be and the deep work ethic and perseverance it takes to continue in the face of adversity.

For anyone with a passing interest in food or farming, this is a must-see.

Food Not Bombs meetings, exploring communal living, and dreaming of a span of land that had everything needed to feed as many as possible.

Joel Salatin, owner of Polyface farms and featured expert in Michael Pollan’s An Omnivore’s Dilemma, was my first intro into the concept of old-school farming, ruling out monocultures and letting nature bring balance— sometimes in very dramatic ways. One thing all of that research taught me is that it’s hard, thankless work a lot of the time, heartbreaking and exhausting, often unprofitable and downright frustrating. One thing the Chesters don’t lack is perseverance. Watching them make their seemingly impossible dream a reality and slowly build on itself as they make the soil fertile and profitable is beautiful.

Sometimes that means building a house for worms; sometimes it means birthing piglets or shooting coyotes. When the farm and wildlife are in balance, there are solutions to any problem: You just have to be clever enough to realize the assets you have on hand. Snails ruining your crops? Release the ducks! Too many flies from cow manure? Get those chickens in there! John and Molly are beacons of hope in an ever increasing factory-farmed world. It isn’t an easy life, but it’s a glorious one.

Glen The story’s constant underlying theme is finding balance, and its overarching message is that we can, through hard work and ingenuity, return our entire world to harmonious balance.

What the Chesters did to these 200 acres is nothing short of amazing and exactly what humanity needs to do to the entire planet, but current corporate agriculture puts profitability before sustainability. As inspiring as the film is, it’s hard to imagine manifesting this form of agriculture worldwide. We have too many mouths to feed and an economic

system—capitalism—that demands constant expansion to function. Hence, our very way of life is unsustainable, and to meet demand, our Big Ag food system generates inexpensive food that sustainable farming can’t compete with.

I guess what it comes down to are small choices—choices to pay more for produce from local growers, choices to source meat locally from humane farmers, and choices to reject Tyson, Foster Farms, Monsanto, and other corporate ag entities that are part of the problem. Anything’s better than nothing. Obviously, we can’t all be like the Chesters, but we can strive to be part of the solution, however small that part might be. Billions of people making small choices can have a big impact, and watching this documentary might be just the inspiration you need to start making those small but essential choices.

Anna The Chesters are not alone—there are people and farms doing this hard work all over the place. You’re 100 percent right: Putting your money where your mouth is keeps them in business and able to continue the cause. PSA—Get to farmers’ market and support local farmers and ranchers! York is certainly a force behind their drive and dedication, but John and Molly are left feeling abandoned when health issues no longer

In her feature-length directorial debut, actress Olivia Wilde helms this comedy about teenage besties Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein), who on the eve of their high school graduation realize they squandered their chance at fun by concentrating too much on being academic superstars.

Can they cram four years of missed shenanigans into one night?

Think of Booksmart as a female version of Superbad, but with even more heart.

Like Superbad ’s Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill), Amy and Molly (played

by Hill’s real-life sister Beanie Feldstein) are codependent high schoolers desperate for a good time before they move on to the next stage of their lives.

allow their mentor to consult. They must forge on, hoping the skill set and mindset he has instilled in them leads them to profitability. Along the way they collect a family of like-minded folks looking to learn and make their way along the same path. John is a filmmaker with a knack for capturing the small moments— whether it be time-lapse video of coyotes or snails, or slow-mo of ladybugs feasting or aphids laying eggs, it’s a visually stunning piece of work. While the hope and idealism is saturated, the film doesn’t gloss over the rough parts. I’m not going to lie—I cried a whole bunch, mostly over animal stuff. Whether it was with worry over Emma, their pig, not wanting to eat after birthing 17 piglets or the countless chicken carcasses after a coyote raid, the farm life isn’t easy. The Biggest Little Farm is triumphant, hopeful, and tender.

The Chesters may have you thinking about carving out a little piece of paradise for yourself one day. I know they certainly reminded me of the reasons I’ve longed for farm life since I was a kid feeding goats, rabbits, and chickens in my parents’ yard.

See this one in theaters. It’s a joy. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

how to make tampons—yes, a lot of the comedy is lowbrow—Molly is heading to Yale, a goal she sought her entire high school career. When she discovers all the students around her who partied their way through school also got into good schools, she realizes Amy and she could have done both—had fun and studied.

The film is naturally filled with stereotypes that our heroines feel superior to, from popular jock Nick (Mason Gooding), who Molly has a secret crush on, to possibly-lesbian skater chick Ryan (Victoria Ruesga), who out-since-the10th-grade Amy definitely has a crush on. There’s also pretentious theater geek George (Noah Galvin); desperatefor-attention rich goofball Jared (Skyler Gisondo) and the rich girl he fawns over, Gigi (Billie Lorde); the girl with a slut

reputation known as Triple A (for her roadside assistance, get it?); smoldering hot outsider Hope (Diana Silvers); and a few other high school tropes.

We see them trade jabs in class and snowplow over each other’s feelings, and their antics eventually culminate in an outrageous house party. If you aren’t bothered by potty humor and a series of cringe-worthy interactions, there’s a lot of fun to be had here, not to mention poignant moments illustrating the meaning of friendship and the ways we pigeonhole and make judgments about one another.

While the interaction between the kids is definitely the film’s highlight, the “adults” in the film also up the humor.

Amy’s fawning parents, Charmaine (Lisa Kudrow) and Doug (Will Forte), are open to Amy’s sexuality and vaguely think she

and Molly are an item. They’re even dorkier than their daughter in their lame attempts to be “cool.”

Jessica Williams stars as Miss Fine, the girls’ hot teacher who respects their studiousness even though the girls’ peers see it as a mark of their loser status.

Principle Brown (Jason Sudeikis) is clearly exasperated by Amy and Molly’s relentless earnestness and just wants to get them out of school. He later serendipitously turns up as their Lyft driver, much to his shame, which was a nice little side comment on the substandard pay for teachers.

The film certainly gets better as it goes along, and its climax—at valedictorian Molly’s graduation speech—and the film’s MOVIES continued page 39

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Simon Kinberg directs this X-Men sci-fi adventure about Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), who develops overwhelming powers that threaten humanity. Where do her fellow X-Men’s allegiances lie, with Jean or mankind?

I’ve always liked the X-Men premise. It touches on the next step of human evolution as well racism and scapegoating, two topical societal woes.

While this film also explores those themes, it does it in a ham-fisted way. The film is more interested exploring Charles Xavier’s (James McAvoy) “I know what’s best for mutants” hubris—also handled ham-fistedly—and the X-Men saving humanity from space aliens. Yes, there are space aliens. Groan.

After the excellence of Logan (2017) or even the hilarious side story of Deadpool 2 (2018), Dark Phoenix is sorely disappointing.

After the obligatory backstory about how Jean Grey came into Xavier’s care as a child, she and some other X-Men are sent into space to rescue an endangered NASA mission that’s encountered what’s supposed to be a solar flare but instead is a mysterious cosmic force, which Jean internalizes, becoming unfathomably powerful.

Long story short, Jean’s new uncontrollable powers are sought by said shape-shifting space aliens. She has a falling out with Xavier and destroys some stuff, putting government operatives on her trail, so she seeks refuged with Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto (Michael Fassbender), who frankly doesn’t want the trouble, and then it all goes to hell as Xavier and his X-Men, the government ops, Magneto and his crew, and the shape-shifting aliens all descend on Grey in an incoherent mess of a battle led by head alien Vuk (Jessica Chastain) to kill Jean and take the power.

These surprisingly good cast members—which also include Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy/Beast, Jennifer Lawrence as Raven/Mystique, Tye Sheridan as Scott Summers/Cyclops, Evan Peters as Peter Maximoff/Quicksilver, and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Kurt Wagner/ Nightcrawler—are wasted on this substandard adaptation of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s comic books.

If you’re an X-Men fan, wait to stream this hot mess, but to be honest, if I’d never seen it, I would care a whit. It’s terrible.

Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Monarch, a cryptozoological agency, tries to deal with the emergence of monsters—Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah—who are battling for supremacy on Earth. The sequel to 2014’s Godzilla is co-written and directed by Michael Dougherty (Krampus, Trick ’r Treat).

If all you want out of a movie is some awesome CGI Kaiju battles, King of the Monsters might do the trick, but all the “story” surrounding the said battles is a mess. Dr. Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) is a paleobiologist working for Monarch. She and her daughter, Madison (Millie Bobby Brown), witness the birth of Mothra and are promptly kidnapped by eco-terrorists led by Colonel Alan Jonah (Charles Dance).

In a page torn from every wannabe blockbuster ever written, Monarch and doctors Ishirō Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and Vivienne Graham (Sally Hawkins) approach Mark Russell (Kyle Chandler), Emma’s ex-husband, to track down his family. What follows is Jonah trying to release more monsters and Mark trying to stop them.

There are a few switcheroos about who’s a good guy and who isn’t, but it’s mostly a semi-coherent mess and an excuse for giant monsters to wage epic battles. Secret underwater cities, mythological texts, outer space aliens, a plan to revive Godzilla by letting him feed off of radiation from a nuclear bomb—you name it, this film’s thrown it into the mix.

If you like this kind of stuff, you’re in luck—the film tees up a sequel. Will Godzilla battle King Kong? Keep spending money on these films and it’s guaranteed.

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3—PARABELLUM

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Galaxy, Stadium 10 Directed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2) and picking up mere hours after the second installment, this third in the series follows Wick’s (Keanu Reeves) attempt to escape after a $14 million bounty is placed on his head for breaking an international assassins’ guild rule and killing a member of the guild’s upper order inside the offlimits Continental Hotel. Now every hit man and woman is after him. About the only killer tentatively on his side is Sofia (Halle Berry), who owes him a debt.

For sheer mayhem, it’s hard to top the John Wick franchise. Sure, films like Smokin’ Aces (2006) and Shoot ’Em Up (2007) have over-the-top gun violence, but compared to the John Wick films, they come off as cartoonish. And yes, films like Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2003) and The Raid: Redemption (2011)

Pick

have comparable hand-to-hand combat scenes, but the fight choreography in the John Wick films is crazy good and features premiere Hollywood actors trained in the martial arts rather than martial artists trained as actors.

This third installment in the series has everything you’ve come to expect— amazing martial arts, knife, and sword fight scenes; close-quarters gunplay; vehicle (even horse) chases; and people who love their dogs more than anything.

Director Chad Stahelski was a martial artist first, martial arts instructor second, Hollywood stuntman third, and came to direction in 2014 with the first John Wick film. He knows how to create believable yet dazzling violence, and he ups the ante with some amazing settings, like a fight in what appears to be a knife museum, a horse stable using horses as weapons, an all-glass room, and a Casablanca compound with Berry’s character Sofia and her two fierce Belgian Malinois dogs.

The story is a bit thin. It’s basically an escape film followed by an attack film, but if you like fantasy violence, you’ll be hardpressed to find a better franchise, and this may be the best film of the three.

Perhaps the hardest element for my disbelief to overcome is the crazy-kooky world of the international assassins’ guild with exclusive assassin-friendly Continental Hotels in major cities and elaborate rules set by the High Table regarding blood pacts and markers and who’s allowed to kill whom and where.

It’s an attempt to bring some semblance of honor to the proceedings. Even after Wick is made excommunicado, he’s still able to call in his marker with The Director (Angelica Huston), who runs a Belarusian ballet and wrestling school, where Wick was apparently trained.

There are also questions of loyalty between New York Continental Hotel manager Winston (Ian McShane) and his concierge Charon (Lance Reddick), who allowed Wick an hour’s head start and are now under scrutiny by The Adjudicator

(Asia Kate Dillon), who the High Table sent to mete out justice.

The Adjudicator also visits The Director and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), the latter of whom runs a group of “homeless” street thugs and whom she also deems guilty of helping Wick by not killing him on sight when he had the chance.

The High Table’s assassin is Zero (Mark Dacascos), a samurai-esque martial arts master with a legion of ninja-like students.

Part of the story’s humor is Zero’s fawning flattery of Wick, who’s regarded as the best assassin. Zero desperately wants Wick’s approval, even though he’s trying to kill him.

All these competing factions are set-ups for the inevitable fourth installment, where director Stahelski will have to take another crack at topping the over-the-top action of the first three films. Can he do it? I, for one, will be in the audience to find out.

id you know that hamster mothers often eat their babies? That male bedbugs stab their mates with knifelike penises and then ejaculate into the bloodstream? Or that snails have both vaginas and penises?

Those unusual facts are the main focus Green Porno, the Sundance TV miniseries in which Isabella Rossellini explores the sexual nature of animals and insects.

Yep, you read that correctly. Isabella Rossellini: the Italian actress and model famous for her captivating roles in movies like Blue Velvet (1986).

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Bay, Fair Oaks, Galaxy, The Palm, Park, Stadium 10 Dexter Fletcher (Wild Bill, Sunshine on Leith, Eddie the Eagle) directs episode of Green Porno.

When I first heard about Green Porno, I imagined a nature documentary— rugged landscapes, impeccable cinematography—all narrated by Rossellini. It didn’t seem strange since Americans love nature docs narrated by hosts with foreign accents (I’m lookin’ at you Steve Irwin and David Attenborough), and Rossellini’s Italian intonation is almost as recognizable as her face.

But after the first episode of Green Porno, which looks at the mating habits of bees, it became clear that my assumptions were wrong. The episode starts seemingly normal, then almost immediately cuts to a wide shot of Rossellini dressed as a giant queen bee.

Rossellini goes on to not only describe how bees reproduce, but acts it out while dressed like different kinds of bees. It’s an insane juxtaposition— an icon running around in a bumble bee jumpsuit, humping papier-maché bee figurines. While Rossellini illustrates how bees mate in flight, her paper bee penis falls off inside the female.

“But pulling out from her, my penis would break off!” Rossellini shouts,

“a musical fantasy about the fantastical human story of Elton John’s breakthrough years,” with Taron Egerton in the lead role as the singer of “Rocket Man,” “Your Song,” “Daniel,” and dozens of other hits.

Written for the screen by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot, War Horse, Victoria & Abdul), this loosely accurate biopic is constructed with an interesting frame. We start with Elton—née Reginald “Reggie” Dwight— walking into an AA meeting in full stage costume, where he introduces himself as Elton Hercules John, an alcoholic, sexoholic, cocaine, and pill addict. He proceeds to chronicle through flashback his troubled childhood (Matthew Illesley), adolescence (Kit Connor), and his rise to fame, as well as his subsequent descent into addiction.

As we move back and forth through time, the various characters frequently break into song and sing their dialogue like a standard musical. We meet his less-than-maternal mother, Sheila (Bryce Dallas Howard), his cold and distant father, Stanley (Steven Mackintosh), and his rather wonderful grandmother, Ivy (Gemma Jones).

We also see his early gigs with his band called Bluesology, his first break into publishing with Dick James’ (Stephen Graham) company under management

by Ray Williams (Charlie Rowe), who MOVIES continued page 41

looking down at her wound through bug-eye goggles. “It would get stuck in her vagina like a cork in a bottle, but it would prevent other males from mating with her.”

It’s the best thing that has ever been filmed in all of history.

The rest of the three-season series is more of the same, and Rossellini dives into and acts out the strange, and often aggressive, mating habits of spiders, dragonflies, and whales (which can get 6-foot erections). In season three, she focuses on sea creatures that are being impacted by overfishing.

That’s the thing about Green Porno—it’s completely ridiculous but incredibly informative. Unlike most shows today, the episodes only run a few minutes each, making the show digestible and forcing Rossellini to break down the information into its most understandable terms.

Admittedly, it seems like a strange project for a rich and famous senior citizen to put time and energy into, but in a behind-the-scenes interview, Rossellini says she simply loves animals.

“Do I do this because I have a sexual obsession? Do I do this because I have to learn how to behave sexually?”

Rossellini asks as she laughs. “I don’t do it for that at all. I always wanted to make films about animals.”

But while people aren’t necessarily interested in biology and animals, Rossellini said they do love sex. Δ —Kasey Bubnash

MOVIES from page 40 introduces him to lyricist Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell), which develops into a lifelong friendship and one of the most successful creative partnerships in rock’n’roll history.

We also meet his second manager, John Reid (Richard Madden), who brings him to the heights of fame and becomes his lover, but who also facilitates his addictions and breaks his heart. Along the way, we get a lot of amazing songs.

It’s highly entertaining but also rather sad. Being a rock star isn’t as fun as it’s supposed to be.

As dark as a lot of the film is, from a suicide attempt to a drug-induced heart attack, there are so many tender moments.

When Elton as a young child listens to the radio and can easily pick out on the piano the notes he’s hearing, we know he’s a prodigy. When he takes Taupin’s lyrics and finds the perfect melody, it illustrates the magic of creativity.

When Elton gets his big break in the U.S. with a gig at LA’s famed Troubadour, though he’s racked with stage fright, he transcends it and quickly has the audience in the palm of his hand, depicted in the film’s trailer as everyone being floated off the ground. These “fantastical” moments remind viewers that the film is fictionalized. Many of the details, characters, and events are correct, but the chronology and other particulars are entirely invented, which frankly makes the film stronger.

It’s an impression of Elton’s life. It’s about his struggle with homosexuality, his estrangement from his parents, his rocky relationships, his handling of fame, and his eventual realization that his lifestyle isn’t sustainable. One of his biggest fears is whether or not he’ll be as good without the drugs and alcohol, which allowed him to overcome his fears and become a superstar. He had to kill Reggie Dwight to become Elton John, but he had to reclaim Reggie to regain and maintain his sobriety.

The best part of the film for me was his relationship with Taupin, who had to put up with Elton’s flamboyance, eccentricities, addiction, and bad behavior. He was the one person who was Elton’s true friend, and that’s a beautiful thing to behold. Both

entertaining and inspiring, this one’s worth seeing in the theater. (121 min.)

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2 What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Chris Renaud (Despicable Me, The Lorax, The Secret Life of Pets) and Jonathan de Val band together to co-direct the second installment of the animated Secret Life of Pets. This time around, the New York apartment furry residents leave their owners once again on an adventure to save a new wild friend.

While there are plenty of one-liners that are definitely flying over the heads of the young audience in the theater, the plot of the film is all over the place. An elementary-school-aged kid is probably not going to notice the three stories that honestly should have been separate animated shorts that somehow clumsily come together, but all you adults out there definitely will.

Back in New York in the concrete jungle where dreams are made, we find Max (Patton Oswalt, who replaced Louis C.K.) and his buddy, Duke (Eric Stonestreet), living the good life with their owner.

Their life turns upside down once their owner falls in love, gets married, and has a little boy named Liam. Of course Max wants to take care of Liam but realizes the city is a dangerous place for a toddler.

His helicopter-parent instincts result in a nervous tick. Maybe Max just needs a little vacation, so the family leaves the city and visits an uncle in the country. It’s there that he meets Rooster (Harrison Ford), a no-nonsense kind of a dog (very Harrison Ford), who’s going to teach Max to get over his fear.

Before Max goes on his trip, he leaves his favorite bee-shaped squeaky toy with Gidget (Jenny Slate) to protect.

Predictably, within the first day of guardianship, she loses the toy and it bounces into the window of an apartment that’s filled with cats. Seriously, the neighbor has dozens of cats—its pretty ridiculous. But the cats are scratch-your-

eyes-out catty, and Gidget needs help. She needs to learn how to be a cat in order to get the toy back.

Meanwhile (I know, another damn story to follow), Snowball (Kevin Hart) is more that just a cute bunny; he’s a pajama-wearing superhero, or so he thinks. He’s hired by Daisy (Tiffany Haddish), who’s witnessed the cruelty of a tiger being held against its will by an evil circus owner. Daisy needs Snowball’s help to rescue the tiger.

Somehow these three entirely different stories come together in the end with the same goal in mind: help the tiger find a safe home away from his large-nosed jerk captor.

I mean, there were definitely kids laughing when Max was freaking out in the country at all the new sounds of the farm land—a cow farting, a frog chilling on a lily pad, and a freaking turkey that won’t stop following him. And the soundtrack that accompanied the film had the kids in my row dancing in their seats. Not to mention the A-list actors giving so much personality to these four-legged creatures that we wish we could talk to in real life.

But the storyline just wasn’t there. It’s a lot to keep up with in the beginning once you realize that this isn’t just one story and there are so many different characters.

Save your pretty pennies, parents, and just wait to Redbox it or stream it on your preferred service. (86 min.)

Good vibes at Oso Flaco Birds and families galore at this Guadalupe oasis on a sunny Sunday

T

he landscape glows on this balmy Sunday evening as I drive through Oceano, Nipomo, and then the farmland that straddles Highway 1 into Guadalupe. Car windows down and in no rush, I notice that everything—from the ocean, to the mounds of sand dunes, to the towering eucalyptus trees, to the rows and rows of green agriculture—take on a lovely warm hue as the sun continues to descend on the western horizon. A right turn onto Oso Flaco Road from Highway 1

South leads me another 4 miles to a dead end, at one of the most alive natural oases on the Central Coast, Oso Flaco Lake.

This excursion is a great way to wrap up a weekend, June 8 and 9, that can only be described as the unofficial start to summer. Temperatures from the coast to North County hit 80 degrees or higher. A romantic, carefree mood hangs in the air that’s quintessentially summer. Throughout the weekend, SLO County beaches were understandably packed; on Saturday, my

friends and I could barely find space for our lounge chairs at Shell Beach.

But no matter how gorgeous the weather is, Oso Flaco Lake always remains chill, it seems. It’s far enough away to deter most people in SLO County.

Maybe it’s still unknown to some. Located at the southern end of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicle Recreation Area, the lake and adjacent dunes are home to myriad bird species and protected habitats. While bears are apparently part of the habitat, I don’t see any signs of one.

The lake’s name, translated to “skinny bear,” originates from Spanish legend.

When Gaspar de Portola’s expedition passed through in 1769, the team shot and ate a skinny bear—shortly after, many of the men died. The explanation is that the native Chumash people had fed the bears “tainted meat” to weaken the species, which then killed those who consumed it. Weird stuff. Maybe the Spanish had it coming?

Anyway, after a short initial walk through a densely wooded area, I emerge onto a footbridge, which cuts across the modest-sized lake. Suddenly, I’m engulfed in bird sounds. From ducks to song sparrows, it’s a symphony of birds. I also observe a lot of families (of humans).

Everybody seems to be in a good mood.

The wind is calm. Some people walk briskly across the bridge. Others (including myself) hang over the ledge to watch and take photos of the birds.

Others have their fishing lines thrown over the side.

Once across the lake, the path becomes a boardwalk that meanders over the dunes. Both sides of the walkway are fenced off to protect bird nesting habitats.

It eventually spills onto the beach, where to the north is the playground for highadrenaline off-road dune riding and to

HABITAT Much of the dunes area around Oso Flaco Lake is fenced off to protect sensitive wildlife habitats.

the south is the serene, hardly touched preserve of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge. While sunset inches closer, it’s a beautiful scene on the beach, as several families enjoy the surf, sand, and each other. I sit quietly on the edge listening to music.

To me, Oso Flaco Lake represents that perfect middle ground of uses on the expansive Nipomo dunes mesa. It’s so well preserved, yet accessible to humans.

People can both enjoy it and respect it.

There’s neither a profit motive here nor some kind of environmental crusade.

I wish we treated more of our natural resources this way.

Recently, California State Parks introduced a proposal to develop the area with campgrounds and a new staging area for the off-road park. It’s hard to imagine that happening without fundamentally changing what Oso Flaco is and means to the Central Coast community and wildlife. I’m sure there’s the right balance to strike—and I hope they can find it. Δ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson is ready for summer. Reach him at pjohnson@ newtimesslo.com.

American gastropub The new 1865 Craft House and Kitchen serves fresh, modern American cuisine in an upbeat atmosphere

I

t’s Friday night on a front balcony stylishly lined with Sunset magazinestyle landscaping and young jasmine vines. Though the restaurant’s only been open 2 1/2 weeks, patrons are making themselves at home. One group is passing around brightly wrapped presents, likely for the guest of honor— no doubt the next bright graduate let out of the Cal Poly gate.

A few college-aged guys holding rocks glasses and pints are checking out 1865 Craft House and Kitchen’s street-side entryway, as singles like to do. My husband, Greg, and I walk up the new cement path, past the “Just opened” sign, to two smiling hostesses and the dining manager, Melody Forsell.

They greet us with upbeat energy, as if they’ve been expecting us. We don’t have a reservation, which is no problem, and Melody takes the time to give us the tour of the newly opened restaurant. We have our choice of two outdoor balconies, bar tables, two downstairs rooms full of dining, and upstairs platforms of tables.

The loft seating by the bar casually cozies up against a wall saying, “Eat. Drink. Be Happy,” written in preserved moss, a motto we later see scrawled on the bottom of our bill. We feel it’s our duty to take that advice. In my mind, I hear my Irish-American Grandpop slurring a little as he leans over the bar and holds up a pint, “Eat. Drink. Be happy, dear. Life is short.” It’s a good message ... always.

Just before 7 p.m. half the tables are occupied by a scattering of families with young children, college-aged groups of friends, and couples our age and older.

Gastropub ghosts of the restaurant’s past life as Pappy McGregor’s still linger in the scent of beer, grilled meat, and french fries while the sound of Motown mixes with baseball commentary from the sound system and TV screens galore. One screen covers an entire wall along the open staircase up to platforms of seating between angular beams.

A “wall-terfall” leads to the bar, and electric lights glow along the liquor display. Exposed white beams, industrial air tubes, and high ceilings give off a modern and airy vibe, and dashes of white tablecloths topped with clear vases holding sprigs of wheat and wildflowers add a homey touch.

As we take it all in, Greg—who works in construction and has hands the size of Wreck-It Ralph—surprises me by ordering the most, shall we say, “feminine” drink on the cocktail menu to

ABUELA’S CREAMED CORN Served in a skillet, the roasted corn off the cob elote side dish will make you rethink eating veggies as a duty.

UPTOWN SLIDERS Don’t you deserve Prime Rib in your sliders? These babies are dipped in au jus, topped with Swiss and onion straws, and served with your choice of fries.

Now open

1865 Craft House and Kitchen’s chef, Bernard Livingston—formerly of Vegetable Butcher and Libertine Brewing Company—has created a menu you’ll want to try. And thanks to his experience at Vegetable Butcher, even the veggies are elevated here. Restaurateur Brendan Searls (of Viva Modern Mexican in Santa Barbara), friend Brian Hill, and former Viva GM Jake Hildebrand jointly own 1865 Craft House and Kitchen.

The mom-and-pop-style American pub is open for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Friday; and brunch, lunch, and dinner from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Craft House is located at 1865 Monterey St., San Luis Obispo. Call (805) 439-3739 for reservations or reserve on Yelp. Kids menu available.

start: the Unicorn Paloma. It’s basically a $12 Cadillac Patron margarita on the rocks, with a pink and black salt rim, plus a flashy blue butterfly tea ice cube that melts into purple. I, on the other hand, begin with a Barrelhouse Stout.

One of our servers tells us not to underestimate the vegetables. Vegetables?

We may need to reconsider our 1865 Cobb salad, which is our vegetable of the evening (though the bibb lettuce comes extravagantly shrouded in julienned marinated grilled chicken, egg, avocado, applewood smoked bacon, and blue cheese crumbles).

Chef Bernard Livingston used to work at Vegetable Butcher in SLO, and one of 1865’s owners is vegetarian, which must be why one of the best items on the menu is actually a $5 side dish: The Roasted Elote Off the Cob is like the traditional Mexican street corn found at the farmers market. This grilled elote is a creamy spiced-up bowl served in a cast iron skillet. The corn—packed with flavor and those marvelous charred specks from the grill—is shaved from the cob and topped with chunks of soft queso. The corn elote also appears on the menu as the “Dip Duo,” served over house-crafted flour chips and guacamole.

The large brewhouse menu has plenty of choices to fulfill the “Eat” imperative from the restaurant’s motto: appetizers of

UNICORN FOUND Unicorn Paloma is one of many fab cocktails on the drink menu. This magical Patron Silver grapefruit cocktail is chilled with a butterfly tea ice cube and rimmed in pink and black salt.

NEON SPIRITS An electric flash of light off the bar reminds guests the cocktails are more than ordinary here, some made with 60-day Americanoak-aged Freeland Bourbon Whiskey or Organic Greenbar Gin.

signature wings and mussels and Harris Ranch burgers with delicious aiolis and perfectly seasoned, crispy beer battered fries; flatbreads with prosciutto and arugula; Cubano and stuffed portobello sandwiches on soft baked brioche; and American comfort food like jambalaya and applewood bacon macaroni and cheese.

Big appetite eaters will love this place.

Case in point: The Bavarian pretzel and beer cheese fondue appetizer (with spicy andouille sausage optional) could feed an entire Aussie rugby team. The pretzel is soft and texturally perfect, and the fondue is definitely British style.

As for “Drink,” I do my part by enjoying the playful and creative Central Coast Sunset Mocktail—topped with pineapple

foam and colored with lime, orange, and cranberry juice—which is making me rethink juice a bit.

“Be Happy”? Definitely. This is the place for local prime rib. For the purists, there’s the entree served with red skinon mashed potatoes and organic rainbow carrots. There’s also poutine, a Quebecstyle appetizer: prime rib over beer battered fries topped with cheese curds.

We order from the sandwich board and commit to the prime rib dip sliders. I declare my allegiance after one flavorful bite. Those two sharable, local prime rib beauties are as tender as filet mignon, topped with the right amount of Swiss cheese and tasty onion straws in warm, FLAVOR continued page 46

D INE ’N’ DISH Ramen fuel

Ramen has achieved cult status as gamer food. I know this because I saw the Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup logo on some Game Stop T-shirts recently. I’m not proud of this, but long ago I used to eat two packages a day after track and cross country practice in high school, and later, my portable burner always had a pack of Nissin Top Ramen filling the dorm room with the fantastic smell of cheap Japanese chicken carb glory. Now we all know those silver flavor packages contain MSG and are as addictive as Oxycontin. So what’s the alternative? The answer came to me several times in coupon form. You know the kind—the book of coupons that you get in your mailbox once a month. I felt compelled to use it simply because it asked so little of me: Free bowl of Kuma food truck ramen. No purchase necessary!

Well then, try it, I will! ... and it was the best ramen ever (times 1,000). OK, brace yourself. It’s $15, but you can split it with your buddy or your kids. I bought an extra one to-go for an appetizer for my family of five. Step one, choose your broth: the popular tonkotsu (pork); the basic miso; shoyu (soy sauce); or spicy miso.

On the menu description next to spicy miso, it simply reads: “(awesome).” Step two, “choose your meat” the menu reads: “pork (oink oink), chicken (bok bok), or beef (mooooo).” I used to slug my brothers when they would make these sounds at the dinner table, as I was formerly borderline vegetarian, so that triggered a laugh. My ramen came in a big plastic bowl with ginger, green onion, and fish cake. The tonkotsu broth, cooked 24 hours, was served on the side so you add it to your noodles when you’re ready. It was so good, I went insane with joy and stuck my new Kuma sticker on my writing file cabinet. This ramen fuel is going to be my new writing tool.

Kuma food truck sushi, rolls, and bowls is located on 6455 El Camino Real, Atascadero. Open seven days a week noon to 8 p.m. The spice of my life costs a lean $15. ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre knows the chopstick is mightier than the sword.

WHAT Hearing to consider a request by Aaron Culbertson/PROGREENS Inc. for a Conditional Use Permit (DRC2017-00110) to establish 9,600 square feet of indoor cannabis cultivation and non-volatile cannabis manufacturing on an approximately 19.12-acre site. The project would also include ancillary processing activities, such as drying, packaging, and storage.

Project development includes the construction of four 1,920-square-foot greenhouses and expansion of an existing greenhouse from 720 square feet to 1,920 square feet. The proposed manufacturing and ancillary processing activities would occur within an existing 3,000-square-foot metal building.

The proposed project includes a modification from the parking standards set forth in Section 22.18.050.C.1 of the County Land Use Ordinance to reduce the number of parking spaces from 26 to 9. The project site is located at 4415 North River Road, about one mile north of the City of Paso Robles, in the Salinas River Sub Area of the North County Planning Area.

Also to be considered at the hearing will be adoption of the Environmental Document prepared for the item. The Environmental Coordinator, after completion of the initial study, finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not necessary. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) has been issued on May 24, 2019 for this project. Mitigation measures are proposed to address Air Quality and Biological Resources and are included as conditions of approval.

The Environmental Document is available for public review at the Department of Planning and Building, at the below address. A copy of the Environmental Document is also available on the Planning and Building Department website at www.sloplanning. org.

WHAT Hearing to consider a request by Larry Nasareno Montenegro Delgado for a Conditional Use Permit (DRC2017-00108) to establish three acres of outdoor (hoop house) cannabis cultivation and 22,000 square feet of indoor cannabis cultivation with an indoor ancillary nursery and ancillary processing, 77,657 square feet of outdoor commercial cannabis nursery, 28,800 square feet of indoor commercial cannabis nursery, and indoor nonvolatile cannabis manufacturing on an approximately 42-acre site. Processing would include activities such as drying, curing, trimming, and packaging of product grown on site. Project development would include installation of hoop houses, construction of two greenhouses (57,600 square feet total), and construction of a 6,000-squarefoot building for processing and manufacturing activities.

Three 864-square-foot temporary office trailers are also proposed. The operation would cover approximately ten acres and result in 2.5 acres of site disturbance. The project includes a modification from the parking standards set forth in Land Use Ordinance (LUO) Section 22.18.050.C.1 to reduce the required number of spaces from 125 to 19 and a modification from the setback provisions set forth in LUO Section 22.40.050.D.3.b to reduce the outdoor cultivation setbacks from the western property line from 300 feet to 30 feet, and from the eastern property line from 300 feet to 258 feet. The project site is located at 8380 Carrisa Highway in the Carrizo Planning Area.

Also to be considered at the hearing will be adoption of the Environmental Document prepared for the item. The Environmental Coordinator, after completion of the initial study, finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not necessary. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) has been issued on February 27, 2019 for this project.

Mitigation measures are proposed to address Air Quality and Biological Resources and are included as conditions of approval.

The Environmental Document is available for public review at the Department of Planning and Building, at the below address. A copy of the Environmental Document is also available on the Planning and Building Department website at www.sloplanning. org. Anyone interested in commenting on the proposed Environmental Document should submit a written statement and/or speak at the public hearing. Comments will be accepted up until completion of the public hearing(s).

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Tell how you have sometimes been able to transform liabilities into assets. Testify at freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): We may not have to travel to other planets to find alien life. Instead of launching expensive missions to other planets, we could look for exotic creatures here on Earth. Astrobiologist Mary Beth Wilhelm is doing just that. Her search has taken her to Chile’s Atacama Desert, whose terrain has resemblances to Mars. She’s looking for organisms like those that might have once thrived on the Red Planet. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to use this idea as a metaphor for your own life. Consider the possibility that you’ve been looking far and wide for an answer or a resource that is actually close at hand.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

(May 21-June 20): In the 1960s, Gemini musician Brian Wilson began writing and recording bestselling songs with his band the Beach Boys. A seminal moment in his development happened while he was listening to his car radio in August 1963. A tune he had never heard before came on: “Be My Baby” by the Ronettes. Wilson was so excited he pulled over onto the shoulder of the road and stopped driving so he could devote his full attention to what he considered a shockingly beautiful work of art. “I started analyzing all the guitars, pianos, bass, drums, and percussion,” he told The New York Times. “Once I got all those learned, I knew how to produce records.” I suspect a pivotal moment like this could unfold for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. Be alert!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): My dear Cancerian, your soul is so rich and complicated, so many-splendored and mysterious, so fertile and generous. I’m amazed you can hold all the poignant marvels you contain. Isn’t it sometimes a struggle for you to avoid spilling over? Like a river at high tide during heavy rains? And yet every so often there come moments when you go blank; when your dense, luxuriant wonders go missing.

That’s OK! It’s all part of the Great Mystery. You need these fallow phases. And I suspect that the present time might be such a time. If so, here’s a fragment of a poem by Cecilia Woloch to temporarily use as your motto: “I have nothing to offer you now save my own wild emptiness.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): America’s premier eventologist is Leo-born Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith. When she was going through a hard time in 1991, she resolved to buoy her spirits by creating cheerful, splashy new holidays. Since then she has filled the calendar with more than 1,900 new occasions to celebrate. What a perfect way to express her radiant Leo energy! National Splurge Day on June 18 is one of Adrienne’s favorites: a time for revelers to be extra kind and generous to themselves. That’s a happy coincidence, because my analysis of the astrological omens suggests that this is a perfect activity for you to emphasize during the coming weeks.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished.” Virgo poet Mary Oliver made that statement. It was perfectly reasonable for her, given her occupation, although a similar declaration might sound outlandish coming from a non-poet. Nonetheless, I’ll counsel you to inhabit that frame of mind at least part-time for the next two weeks. I think you’ll benefit in numerous ways from ingesting more than your minimum daily dose of beauty, wonder, enchantment, and astonishment.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran philosopher Michel Foucault articulated a unique definition of “criticism.” He said that it doesn’t dish out judgments or hand down sentences. Rather, it invigorates things by encouraging them, by identifying dormant potentials and hidden beauty. Paraphrasing and quoting Foucault, I’ll tell you that this alternate type of criticism ignites useful fires and sings to the grass as it grows. It looks for the lightning of possible storms, and coaxes codes from the sea foam. I hope you’ll practice this kind of “criticism” in the coming weeks, Libra—a criticism that doesn’t squelch enthusiasm and punish mistakes, but instead champions the life spirit and helps it ripen.

(April 20-May 20): Philosopher Martin Buber believed that some stories have the power to heal. That’s why he said we should actively seek out stories that have the power to heal.

Buber’s disabled grandfather once told Buber a story about an adored teacher who loved to dance. As the grandfather told the story, he got so excited that he rose from his chair to imitate the teacher, and suddenly began to hop and dance around in the way his teacher did. From that time on, the grandfather was cured of his disability. What I wish for you in the coming weeks is that you will find stories like that.

VIRGO

aduLt services

LIBRA

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Help may be hovering nearby, but in an unrecognizable guise. Rumpled but rich opportunities will appear at the peripheries, though you may not immediately recognize their value. A mess that you might prefer to avoid looking at could be harboring a very healthy kind of trouble.

My advice to you, therefore, is to drop your expectations. Be receptive to possibilities that have not been on your radar.

Be willing to learn lessons you have neglected or disdained in the past.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As much as I love logic and champion rational thinking, I’m granting you a temporary exemption from their supremacy. To understand what’s transpiring in the coming weeks, and to respond with intelligence, you will have to transcend logic and reason. They will simply not be sufficient guides as you wrestle and dance with the Great Riddle that will be visiting. You will need to unleash the full power of your intuition. You must harness the wisdom of your body, and the information it reveals to you via physical sensations. You will benefit from remembering at least some of your nightly dreams, and inviting them to play on your consciousness throughout the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For the sake of your emotional and spiritual health, you may need to temporarily withdraw or retreat from one or more of your alliances. But I recommend that you don’t do anything drastic or dramatic. Refrain from harsh words and sudden breaks. For now, seal yourself away from influences that are stirring up confusion so you can concentrate on reconnecting with your own deepest truths. Once you’ve done that for a while, you’ll be primed to find helpful clues about where to go next in managing your alliances.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’ve got a list of dos and don’ts for you.

Do play and have fun more than usual. But don’t indulge in naive assumptions and infantile emotions that interfere with your ability to see the world as it really is. Do take aggressive action to heal any sense of abandonment you’re still carrying from the old days. But don’t poison yourself with feelings of blame toward the people who abandoned you. Do unleash wild flights of fantasy and marvelous speculations about seemingly impossible futures that maybe aren’t so impossible. But don’t get so fixated on wild fantasies and marvelous speculations that you neglect to embrace the subtle joys that are actually available to you right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “At times, so many memories trample my heart that it becomes impossible to know just what I’m feeling and why,” writes Piscean poet Mark Nepo. While that experience is familiar to everyone, it’s especially common for you Pisceans. That’s the bad news. But here’s the good news: In the coming weeks, your heart is unlikely to be trampled by your memories. Hence, you will have an excellent chance to know exactly what you’re feeling and why. The weight of the past will at least partially dissolve and you’ll be freer than usual to understand what’s true for you right now, without having to sort through confusing signals about who you used to be. ∆
