Attorney with death penalty experience assigned to Heritage Ranch double murder case

A

FILE PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CALIFORNIA JUDICIAL COUNCIL

SLO County defense attorney with experience in death penalty cases has been assigned to help represent a 31-year-old Paso Robles man accused of murdering his girlfriend and her unborn child.

At a March 13 hearing, SLO County Superior Court Judge Dodie Harman agreed to allow attorney William McLennan to work with defense attorneys for Daniel Ruiz Rodriguez Johnson, who is charged with two counts of murder for allegedly killing 27-year-old Carrington Jane Broussard and the 9-month-old fetus she was carrying.

At the hearing, Johnson’s public defender, Kenneth Cirisan, said he needed a second attorney to assist him with the case, noting that it was complex for a number of reasons, including that Carrington’s fetus was one of the victims in the case.

“That kicks it into the special circumstances realm,” he said.

Those special circumstances make it a capital murder case, meaning Johnson could face life in prison without parole or the death penalty if found guilty. McLennan has worked on several high-profile capital murder cases, including that of Rex Krebs. McLennan is also serving in a similar capacity on the ongoing capital murder case of Carlo Alberto Fuentes Flores, who is charged with murdering Paso Robles resident Nancy Woodrum.

The hearing in Johnson’s capital murder case

occurred just hours before Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order halting any further executions in California. Newsom said he signed the moratorium because he believed the death penalty was unfairly and disproportionately applied, calling it “ineffective, irreversible, and immoral.”

The moratorium would grant reprieve to 737 people currently on California’s death row. The moratorium will not release any of those individuals from custody and CAPITAL CASES As a SLO County judge assigned a defense does not alter any current lawyer in another potential death penalty case, California Gov.

Central Coast Aquarium and Morro Bay work toward a new aquarium

she takes her biology class to the beach a lot to conduct marine science research.

“For the past five years or so I’ve worked with the Central Coast Aquarium. We’ve been able to obtain grants and have aquarium specialists come to Morro Bay and have taken us to the sand spit to do data collection with sand dollars and water testing,” Heidt said.

The Morro Bay City Council unanimously approved to work with the CCA, which is based in Avila Beach, to pursue a project that would enhance the existing Morro Bay Aquarium, which was vacated in September. Upgrades would include aquarium tanks, touch tanks, educational displays, and other opportunities.

The proposal was agreed to with four deadlines: A concept/philanthropic plan needs to be presented to the council within 90 days. A business, marketing plan is due back to the board in 180 days. A progress report on the philanthropic concept plant has 270 days. The final report is slated for the end of the first year and should include decisions on how to move forward.

Christine Johnson, executive director of CCA, said the success of the project relies on securing philanthropic and other non-earned revenues for design, construction, and operation of the proposed project.

According to a staff report, the proposed project has the capacity to generate an annual earned revenue of $691,000, but it’s estimated that the annual operating expenses would be $813,000.

SLO County raises developer fees to help fund affordable housing

In what’s expected to be a temporary move,

San Luis Obispo County supervisors voted on March 13 to raise the fees charged to developers of market-rate homes in order to boost the county’s low-income housing coffers.

The new inclusionary housing fees— supported by local building groups, housing advocates, and economic leaders—are expected to raise $1 million per year for affordable housing projects. They charge per-square-foot of every new home built larger than 2,200 squarefeet, so the amount of that fee increases with the size of the home.

Last year, county supervisors set out to overhaul the fee structure after a previous five-year phase-in approach stalled and failed to generate adequate revenue. A coalition of community groups including the homebuilders’ association, nonprofit housing groups, and the SLO Chamber of Commerce convened and recommended a set of measures, including the fee revisions, that could create $2 million to $4 million per year for affordable housing.

“I am supportive of this today,” said 1st District Supervisor John Peschong. “The problem has been in this county that we’re not building houses. They can’t keep up with the demand. We do need to get some money into the system.”

The fees are likely to remain in effect for three years while the county evaluates a new vacation rental impact fee and other funding sources, like a sales tax or bond, to support affordable housing. If that revenue comes to fruition, a majority of supervisors expressed interest in repealing the inclusionary housing fees.

First pride celebration is coming to 5 Cities

A local organization is creating a Pride festival in the Five Cities area and a community for LGBTQ-plus youth.

Established in 2016, 5 Cities Hope is a nonprofit that provides an inclusive environment for the LGBTQplus community—including youth, allies, and people of all ages and backgrounds—to connect.

The nonprofit has been working with the community since last year to create the first Pride celebration for the Five Cities area slated for June 1 at Heritage Square Park in Arroyo Grande.

Erica Andrade, director of the nonprofit, said the celebration will be small for this first year, but it won’t fall short on fun for everyone in the family.

On the event’s itinerary, she said, is a resource fair that focuses on LGBTQplus, mental health, churches, local entertainment, a youth lounge with arts and crafts, and food vendors.

Andrade said it’s been a long and important process to put the event together, as the nonprofit has held committee meetings to understand what the community wants to see at its Pride celebration.

“This isn’t something that we as an organization have just been doing and say, ‘Here you go; we’re making a Pride for you.’ We really have gotten a lot of input from the community,” she said.

Denise Aguilar, Hope’s co-chair, said creating this nonprofit and celebration is fulfilling a need for LGBTQ-plus youth in the area. A majority of the people who participate in the nonprofit’s events are middle school or high school aged with little to no access to transportation.

Aguilar said when she was growing up in Nipomo, it was hard for her to attend any LGBTQ-plus support groups because the nearest resource was in San Luis Obispo.

“It was a two-hour bus ride, and transportation in Nipomo was hard because there was only three bus stops and they were far away from the residential areas of the city,” Aguilar said.

Creating the nonprofit was a no-brainer for Aguilar and Andrade as both said they’ve created a place for youth to talk about themselves, support one another, and for parents to come with any questions they have. According to Lucia Mar Unified School District’s results of the California Healthy Kids Survey, 1 percent of seventh and ninth graders and 2 percent of 11th

graders identified as gay or lesbian; 4 percent of seventh graders and 5 percent of ninth and 11th graders identified as bisexual.

The nonprofit has created a GoFundMe page to raise money for the Pride Celebration. As of press time, it had raised $1,415 out of its $5,000 goal.

Carpenters’ union sues SLO over Tank Farm project

SLO city attorney Christine Dietrick denied the union lawsuit’s allegations to New Times.

“We think we responded fully to any of the issues that have been raised,” she said.

The developer of that project then filed a counter lawsuit alleging the union previously offered to drop the charges if its members were

On Feb. 5, the SLO City Council approved plans for the mixed-use development submitted by Bakersfield-based Agera Grove Investments LLC at 650 Tank Farm Road, a former mobile home park.

The Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, which represents 50,000 carpenters in six states, and Richard Vanhumbeck, a SLO resident and union member, filed a lawsuit on March 6 challenging the city’s approval on hired for labor.

team at Nipomo High School and had sexually harassed and provided alcohol to minors at his previous place of employment.

According to the complaint, the district employed Magdaleno as a teacher at Nipomo High School in the 2012-13 academic school year and in the fall of 2013, he was also hired as the head coach of the girls’ wrestling program.

The complaint states that the student, Jane Doe (the student’s name is being withheld due to privacy), began her freshman year at Nipomo High School in the fall of 2016 and joined the team that same semester.

Throughout the 2016-17 academic year, the lawsuit alleges that Doe witnessed Magdaleno engage in a predatory pattern of abusing and sexually harassing the girls on the team and students in his classes.

In June 2017, the complaint states, Doe observed Magdaleno forcefully grab a female student (who was wearing a dress), reaching between her legs, lifting her up by her vaginal area, and exposing her underwear to others.

On Oct. 18, 2017 the lawsuit states that Jane Doe emailed Lucia Mar’s superintendent at the time to inform her of the sexual harassment and abuse allegations against Magdaleno and the fact that no one took any steps to protect the students after concerns were brought to Lucia Mar’s attention in 2016.

The complaint states that at least 10 students came forward with allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment against Magdaleno.

After an investigation, the lawsuit alleges, the district allowed Magdaleno to resign in June 2018 and agreed not to disclose any of the allegations against him to any future prospective employers.

In the summer of 2008, Magdaleno was employed at Santa Maria Joint Union High School District as a teacher and the coach of the girls’ wrestling team at Pioneer Valley High School. The lawsuit alleges that he inappropriately touched a female student during a school camping trip at Lake Nacimiento, provided her and other underage females with alcohol, and offered to flash his genitals in exchange for beer. As a result of that incident, the complaint states, Magdaleno resigned from his position at the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District in 2009.

As of March 11, none of the defendants listed on the lawsuit had filed a response in court. Δ —Karen Garcia

Conserve or pay Paso Robles groundwater committee seeks public input on supply projects, pumping fees

N

orth County political leaders responsible for the health of the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin are launching discussions about which multi-million-dollar water projects could help solve the aquifer’s woes—and how basin pumpers will pay for them.

In the future, the basin, which serves much of Paso Robles wine country, could start receiving water from the State Water Project, Lake Nacimiento, and/or the Salinas Dam. The Paso Basin Cooperative Committee is asking for public input on these proposals and more (see pasogcp.com), as a January 2020 deadline to submit sustainability plans to the state inches closer.

At the committee’s March 6 meeting, contracted hydrologist Derrik Williams reported that the future sustainable yield of the basin has been calculated at 61,100 acre-feet per year (AFY). That target sits 29 percent below the amount of water pumped out of the aquifer per year between 2011 and 2016.

Williams explained that going forward, basin users will be faced with a choice: reduce their water consumption, or open their wallets to fund new water supply projects.

“We’re going to have to be cutting pumping by acre feet per year or

bringing in that much water,” Williams, of Montgomery & Associates, told the committee.

Under the draft proposals, domestic users who pump less than 2 AFY will be exempt from fees. Heavier users would be charged a “base pumping assessment” (proposed at $93 per acre foot) up to a specific threshold set for each property based on historical water use. Then, any additional pumping that exceeded that threshold would be charged an “overproduction surcharge” ($832 per acre foot).

Under that financial framework, the Cooperative Committee—which has representatives from SLO County, the city of Paso Robles, Shandon-San Juan Water District, and San Miguel CSD—would fund new water projects.

Those proposed projects include a combination of recharge fields, injection wells, and direct delivery to farmers, from multiple water sources, with cost estimates ranging from $2 million to $52 million.

A $2-million plan involves building a short 1,225-foot pipe from the State Water Project turnout in Shandon to a 9-acre recharge field. A $52-million project entails laying down 3 miles of pipeline to deliver Lake Nacimiento water to farmers near Paso Robles for irrigation in lieu of basin water.

8 • New Times • March 14 - March 21, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

Other projects with costs in between include sending State Water to Creston for recharge fields ($4 million), injection wells ($16 million), and farmer delivery ($40 million); piping State Water directly to farmers in Shandon ($14 million); and using Lake Nacimiento water to recharge the basin near the Paso Robles airport ($27 million). The committee would first have to negotiate the acquisition of water and land before moving forward on any projects.

The ultimate goal, Williams said, is to ensure the basin meets the sustainability objectives laid out in the eventual 2020 plan. One of those key objectives is that 85 percent of the aquifer’s monitoring wells hit their elevation targets each year.

“The proof of success of sustainability is going to be the groundwater levels we measure in the future,” Williams said.

Stakeholders around the sprawling basin, which covers several hundred square miles, have expressed varying views on the draft plans. One of the persistent conflicts is between agriculturalists and rural residents, who disagree about which method, conservation or supplemental water, is the best way forward.

El Pomar vineyard manager Dana Merrill warned in his comments that a “ramp down” approach to water use could hurt the region’s economy.

“An economic study needs to be included to know whether ramp down or supplemental water is best,” Merrill said.

“The economic multiplier factor in reverse will devastate the local economy based on the wine and tourist industry.”

Creston resident Greg Grewal offered the opposite view at the March 6 committee meeting, putting forth a popular opinion among some community members that the supplemental water projects are designed to enable water banking. That, in Grewal’s view, risks “making the basin a private basin that people can profit off of.”

“That’s all that this is about,” Grewal said, suggesting instead that the committee look at capturing more floodwater along natural corridors. “We could do other infrastructural projects that don’t take as much money.”

Several other commenters noted that decision makers will need more basin data in order to refine the best projects and plans. Williams told the Cooperative Committee that only 12 wells in the basin currently meet all the state’s monitoring well requirements. They’ll need 50 wells

by January 2020.

Steve Sinton, a rancher, vineyard owner, and board member on the Shandon-San Juan Water District, commented that the final sustainability plan might need to remain flexible as hydrologists continue to gather data.

“Overall, much of the information available for this [plan] is uncertain,” Sinton said. “The risk, therefore, is that facts will become immovable and immutable if we don’t repeatedly state our uncertainties and the need for refinement. ... We will know a lot more as we begin implementation.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Scoping Oso Flaco Proposed plans for the southern end of the Oceano Dunes have environmentalists up in arms

A

lthough eight projects are currently proposed for Pismo State Beach and the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, only one is stirring up trouble with the Central Coast’s environmental community: a campground and southern access point near Oso Flaco Lake.

“This area chosen by State Parks for this development may be the worst spot they could have chosen—as this area has historically been, and still is, one of the most sensitive and valuable natural habitats in California,” said Doug Tait, the conservation chair of the Morro Coast Audubon Society. “The whole GuadalupeNipomo Dunes complex is an ecological gem that is critical habitat to hundreds of coastal species and provides protection for at least 63 federal- and state-listed species.”

The Audubon Society is concerned about the impact that a campground with up to 225 campsites, a flat track and kids’ riding area, and a staging area for up to 100 vehicles will have on what Tait said is an important stop for migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway. He said the Oso Flaco area is a top birding spot in SLO County, with 283 species documented. The Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club concurs.

Although chapter Director Andrew Christie said he was unable to speak with the Sun, he did write this in a blog post on the chapter’s website: “Proposing to carve out the heart of a habitat area for more than 200 avian species and drop this project into it isn’t getting a great reception.”

State Parks put forth two different concepts for the Oso Flaco area as part of a Public Works Plan information packet that it released for public comment in February.

Both concepts call for widening Oso Flaco Lake Road and converting State Parks land that’s currently used for agriculture into a campground and public access point to the Sand Highway. Three other projects were included in the packet: improvements to the Monarch Butterfly Grove in Pismo Beach, creating an Americans with Disabilities Act compliant boardwalk that connects Grand Avenue to Pier Avenue, and a lodge site in Grover Beach (which is no longer considered an active project for the Oceano Dunes District).

The projects released for comment were conceived during listening sessions that State Parks conducted in 2018, said Ronnie Glick, a senior environmental scientist for the Oceano Dunes. There are four other projects not included in the recent information packet that

are much smaller in scale, Glick said, and address the park’s needs such as improving aging infrastructure.

As part of the comment period, State Parks held two public meetings, one in Pismo Beach on Feb. 11 and one in Tulare on Feb. 19, and extended the deadline for submitting comments to March 19.

The Oso Flaco project, Glick said, is generating the most controversy, locally.

“We’re very early on in the process,” Glick said. “But I think we’re hearing two things on the Oso Flaco projects.”

The off-highway vehicle community is asking State Parks to find land that’s suitable for a campground and to relieve the ongoing pressure of losing land that’s available to ride on. In 2018, mounting concerns about dust pollution on the Nipomo Mesa led to an agreement between the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District and State Parks that closes off an additional 100 acres of land permanently to off-highway vehicles and campers.

“There are incremental losses to that land that’s available for recreation and so they’re looking at ways: How can we replace what was lost?” Glick said. “And this has a lot of support from the users community.”

The Friends of the Oceano Dunes told New Times that it had submitted comment on the proposals to State Parks, but didn’t have any comments for the press at this time.

The environmental community’s perspective, Glick said, is that State Parks is revisiting something that was agreed to 40 years ago. The general plan

for the district was put in place in the mid 1970s, and the Coastal Commission granted the park a coastal development permit in 1982. Through the processes that led to those two things, State Parks agreed to establish entrances to the vehicular recreation area on the north end of the dunes complex and leave Oso Flaco Lake as a passive recreation area.

“We know more than we did back in 1982 when a lot of these decisions were made and memorialized. If we were to design this park then, knowing what we do now, would we have designed it differently?” Glick said. “Let’s look at the park with the lens of today’s regulatory environment and try and design something that works. … That’s why we are looking at this project in Oso Flaco.”

The project, if it were to move forward, Glick said, is still years away in concept, design, logistics, recreation, and environmental review.

“To the public who may be legitimately concerned, right now we are in the concept stage,” Glick said. “We really want to hear what the public thinks.

We’re not doing this in secret. Anyone who comes out and uses the park, we want to hear about their experiences, we want to hear their concerns, what they do like, what they don’t like about this project. …

That’s how you start the conversation is by putting something down on paper.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham can be reached at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

‘THROW ME THE IDOL’ In his first film role, Alfred Molina stars as Satipo, guide to Indiana Jones, in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark.

BY GLEN STARKEY

Who is

Alfred

Molina?

This year’s King Vidor Award winner opens up about his long acting career

Y

ou’d be forgiven for not knowing Alfred Molina is very British.

After all, the veteran character actor has a way of disappearing into roles, hiding behind a penchant for various accents and an ability to play a wide array of ethnicities.

He starred as Mexican muralist Diego Rivera opposite Salma Hayek’s Frida Kahlo in Frida (2002), small-town French mayor Comte De Reynaud with Juliette Binoche as chocolate maker Vianne Rocher in Chocolat (2000), and Spanish Bishop Manuel Aringarosa with Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code (2006).

Molina is this year’s King Vidor Award winner for the 25th annual San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, and he’ll be accepting his prize during a special event on Saturday, March 16, in the Fremont Theater (7 p.m.; $20 general or $15 student at slofilmfest.org). After the award presentation, Turner Classic Movies’ Ben Mankiewicz will speak to Molina about his career, followed by a screening of Chocolat.

Molina, who’s been busy filming two new movies—the horror-thriller Relive by director Jacob Estes starring David Oyelowo, and the drama The Devil Has a Name directed by Edward James Olmos with Martin Sheen and David Strathairn—as well as executive producing Saint Judy starring Michelle Monaghan and Common, which opened in limited release on March 1. He spoke to New Times via phone.

New Times: I loved Vice and was so surprised to see you in the cameo as the waiter in a scene I thought was really important to the film. I also noticed you’ve done some recent short films. You seem like an actor who likes to work.

Alfred Molina: Yeah, I’ve been very fortunate in the sense that I’ve been working a long time—I’ve been a professional actor for more than 40 years—and now I’ve reached the point where I can be a tad more fussy about what I do, so if something comes along that’s just interesting, doesn’t have to be a big thing or a major event, it could just be something that kind of grabs my interest, I can go and do it. With the

short films, you get a chance to work with young directors and people who are just making their way in the industry, and it’s a nice way to—I’m trying to say this without sounding too self-aggrandizing, but there’s a very famous quote from Jack Lemon, who said, “If you’re lucky enough to get to the top floor, it’s your obligation to send the elevator back down.”

NT: You’ve also done a lot of voice work in animated TV shows, films, and even video games. What do you like about that kind of work?

AM: The nice thing about that is you don’t have to learn anything. You can effectively turn up for work in your pajamas. It’s the perfect gig for the lazy actor. I’m being facetious, of course, but also it’s a very pure way of working when you’re just relying on your voice to convey a character and the aspects of a character. It’s interesting work.

NT: From your first role as Satipo in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) to Ali Massoud Sadiq in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016), you’ve played exotic foreigners.

I believe your mother was Italian and NT: You started on the stage, which I your father Spanish, and PHOTO COURTESY OF NEW LINE CINEMA you’re a Londoner, but you frequently play a wide variety of ethnicities with various accents. Is that something you’ve cultivated or is it a matter of your looks and abilities with accents?

How did you come to be this shape-shifting character actor?

AM: I think it’s more of the latter than the former, because I didn’t have any hard and fast plans, I’ve never strategized in terms of work. My only criteria has been just to stay employed, keep working, and pay the bills. It just so happens that those kind of parts came along. I suppose to a certain extent that was a result of the way I look and my build, my coloring, and so on. I was never going to play Romeo or any of the romantic leads. I was a character actor from the start really. I was playing Eastern European thugs at drama school, let alone professionally. I think it was something I fell into, and also I enjoyed it. I enjoyed being able to utilize different accents. It became this little niche I found myself in, but I was quite happy to exploit CRAZY NIGHTS Alfred Molina played crazed drug it because it meant I was dealer Rahad Jackson, in the 1997 film Boogie Nights. working.

imagine is very different from film work.

Do you have a preference? Do you miss the theater and its nightly gratification of an audience?

AM: I’m not in a constant state of missing it, if that’s what you mean. I think what I’ve always enjoyed is the ability to, or the opportunity I should say, to go backwards and forwards from the theater to movies and back again. That’s always been a part of my working life, you know? I’ve never really made any big choices of whether I’m going to do theater for the next two years and then I’m going to do a film. I’ve never been in that position, never had the luxury of knowing what I’m going to do for the next couple of years. It’s always been a job comes up and I say yes or I say no. Whether it’s a film or TV or theater job is almost irrelevant. It’s whether or not the job itself is of interest, whether it’s going to capture my imagination.

Sometimes it’s even as banal asking myself whether it’s even worth doing.

I’ve been fortunate that most of the work I’ve done, I can’t think of anything that I would have rather not have done. There were some jobs that were more satisfying than others, but I never choose between theater or television or film; it’s always whatever the job is and whether it’s the job I want to do at that time.

NT: You’ve had to gain and lose weight for roles, and as someone who finds it really difficult to lose weight, I’d love to know your secret.

AM: The secret is I have a lot of trouble losing weight as well. The whole weight thing—I blame Robert De Niro. When he put on all that weight and lost it all when he did Raging Bull, it kind of changed the rules. Everyone kind of went, “Oh shit! That’s what we’ve got to do, is it?”

I’ve done it a couple of times, but as I’m getting older, I find it’s a lot harder to do. When I was in my 20s and 30s, or even my 40s, if a director said, “Can you lose 20 pounds?” or “Can you put on 20 pounds?” I would have said, “Yes. Yes, of course. I’ll get onto it right now,” and I’d be very conscientious and I’d do my best, but now in my mid-60s, if a director said, “Can you lose 20 pounds?” my answer is always, “I think you need to find yourself a thinner actor,” or if they say, “Can you

put on 20 pounds?” I say, “You need to find yourself a fatter actor.” I don’t do it anymore.

NT: You mentioned De Niro, and I also think of Christian Bale or Marlon Brando as examples of actors who really like to immerse themselves in a role and do the whole method acting thing. Others seem to think it’s not all that complicated, I’m thinking Henry Fonda, you know? Hit your mark, say your line. I know you’re an acting teacher. Where do you think your process falls in that continuum?

AM: I always think it’s rather dangerous to think in terms of having one process or one methodology and eschewing all others. Most actors I know adapt how they work depending upon what’s required. If you’re cast in a radical new production of Hamlet, let’s say, and the director has this very specific way of how he or she envisions the production, then you’ll develop a way of working that’s appropriate for that project. If immediately after that you get cast as a talking refrigerator doing a commercial, it’s highly unlikely that you’re going to use the same methodology in that job.

You see what I’m saying? We adapt to the circumstances. One of the first questions I ask myself when I’m reading a script—if it’s something I’m considering—is what’s involved and what’s required? What’s the baseline? What do I need to achieve or where do I need to be to even start working on this? Depending on the job, it’s always different.

NT: You’ve played some notable but often complicated villains—from gay murderer Kenneth Halliwell in Prick Up Your Ears (1987) to Doctor Octopus in

Spider-Man 2 (2004). Of course, in your hands these characters never seem pure evil. Do you enjoy playing someone with an evil streak, someone malevolent or misanthropic?

AM: Yeah, yes I do. I’ve never had a problem playing bad guys, the villains.

From a practical point of view, I never had a problem because it put my kids through college, so that’s a good thing. Plus, some of those roles have been quite memorable.

People still come up to me and say “Oh, you’re the guy that was in Raider of the Lost Ark. ‘Throw me the idol and I’ll throw you the whip!’” People remember those moments, and I’m always flattered by that to be honest. It never bothers me

the Fremont Theater, this old, beautiful art deco theater that’s been there since the ’40s, and I went into a matinee, and I didn’t know anything about Raiders of the Lost Ark, I was by myself, just going to a movie, and I’m telling you, that movie—whew—just blew me away. It was fantastic.

AM: Very often people come up to me and say things like that, and that’s lovely. My contribution to that movie, in a sense, is a bit of a footnote, but it’s there, and I’m very proud of it.

NT: It’s a really memorable scene, and when you get all the spikes and arrows and stuff to the face, I mean, it’s so

I’ve never strategized in terms of work.

My only criteria has been just to stay employed, keep working, and pay the bills. … well, it only bothers me when people ask me to do it in the middle of Whole Foods. I always think, “Really? There’s no need,” but the fact that people remember it and remember me for it, that’s very flattering. It’s not insulting in any way, and most of the time people remember it with fondness. Guys come up to me and say, “Oh, I saw that movie when I was 14 years old. I fell in love with films.” That’s a wonderful thing.

NT: Well, it’s funny that you should mention that because in 1981 I was a year out of high school and I walked into the very same theater you’re going to be in getting the King Vidor Award, PHOTO COURTESY OF HANDPRINT ENTERTAINMENT

EPIC ARTIST Alfred Molina was Mexican muralist Diego Rivera opposite Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo in the 2002 film Frida.

shocking! Anyway, I know that you’re also a philanthropist, and it seems advocating for those with AIDS is one of your endeavors. Where did your passion for that come from?

AM: It came from being a young actor in the ’80s in the U.K. when the AIDS epidemic first became apparent to us.

Not being gay, I was still shocked and frightened by the whole thing. Seeing many, many friends who were gay who died or had close partners who died—it was this terrible, terrible moment when we all felt so helpless and in fear, and it struck me the way people reacted to it, society on both sides of the Atlantic, we found society was shunning people who were gay or had

experience with AIDS. People were losing their jobs over it or being thrown out of families over it. People being disconnected from families because they were gay—all of that was shocking to me. I can’t really call myself an activist, but I’ve always lent my name and my support. I’m not one of the leaders of the movement or anything like that, but it’s something that’s always been very close to my heart. I’ve tried to make a contribution.

NT: One last question: Ours is a relatively small film festival, and the King Vidor Award doesn’t carry a lot of prestige, but our local audiences get a big thrill when a film actor of your caliber attends and accepts this award. I know it doesn’t have much affect on your career, and it takes time out of your busy schedule, so why do you do it?

AM: Well, why not? Why not? SLO is a beautiful place. The size of the festival, the notoriety or lack of it of the award— that’s not really relevant. What you have up there is wonderful. Any community that can sustain a film festival for more than just a one-off means that there’s a community there that loves film, that’s enthusiastic about film, and that’s well worth supporting. It’s people like that and people like yourself, who goes to a matinee of a movie you’ve never heard of on your own, that changes the way you look at things, that’s bread and butter for actors and people who make films.

The fans who watch movies have kept me employed, and maybe it’s just a way of saying thanks. I’m looking forward to it very much. I’m thrilled and flattered. ∆ Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

t’s Thursday, Feb. 28, and Krista Rooney is setting up her equipment for her 3:15 p.m. class. She is the owner of From the Roots Up Healing Services and teaches kickboxing, but the class is more than just learning how to kick and punch. She teaches this form of martial arts with a purpose that’s individualized to each girl or woman that takes her class.

As Rooney lays out multiple pairs of kickboxing hand-wrap gloves for her students to grab, she said she would describe her classes as half lesson and half learning about kickboxing.

She starts her class with meditation and mind exercises. It’s a way for her students to create a space where they feel comfortable, centered, and focused.

It’s really a chance for the individual to understand what their purpose in attending the class is, because no two people are alike, and their intentions are different as well.

“At the very beginning we create a happy place in our minds teaching ourselves that we can even control our own thoughts, which become our words, which become our actions, and I’m a big proponent of that,” Rooney said.

It’s exciting, she said, to get people to understand the power of their mind one minute and to put that inner power to action with the kickboxing lesson of the day.

Rooney isn’t here to train girls and women in combat; while they are getting good exercise and learning self-defense, it’s about learning to be confident. She gives her students the tools and empowerment to be strong physically and mentally.

This was a concept that Rooney didn’t get to explore until she went to college at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. At the time she was going to school, Rooney said sexual assault on women was happening a lot. She said females on campus, including herself, wanted to learn something to feel safe walking around campus.

“We had all this snow gear on because it’s so cold, and all that wasn’t covered were your eyes so your peripheral vision wasn’t too great,” she said.

So Rooney and a friend heard about a free kickboxing class that was being offered at the International Karate Association Alaska.

“So we checked it out, and the first time

I hit a bag I felt unstoppable. I don’t know how else to describe it. It was just so empowering to just have ownership of my own body,” she said.

That’s what Rooney wants her students to feel. As she brings in the Century BOB, a cream-colored, life-size mannequin used for training, Sophia Mittman comes in and starts to get ready for class.

Sophia shyly told New Times that she has been having a lot of fun with her kickboxing class and has been learning a lot about self-defense. After she walks away, her mom, Julie Mittman, said she has really seen a change in her daughter since she started bringing her to class.

“The thing I noticed about Sophia is that she got so much more confident about herself and her body, just by the way she carries herself,” Julie said.

She laughed when she told the story of Sophia defending herself.

“Sophia defended herself from a boy that was bothering her. She had asked him three times to stop but he didn’t,” Julie said. “The boy was a friend of ours, and the dad said he deserved it.”

Commentary

BY BEN OAKLEY

More than Grover Beach A proposed affordable housing/warming center will affect residents in Arroyo Grande too

I

feel compelled to respond to the article “Grover Beach could have its first affordable housing project” published in the March 7 New Times. In it, the author described the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition’s proposal to significantly expand homeless services at the Hillside Church including a warming center, youth dormitory housing, and affordable housing and noted that according to project proponents, “some residents have expressed concerns this project would make the homeless situation worse.”

That’s far from accurate. Neighborhood residents, many of whom live in Arroyo Grande since the proposal is on the Grover Beach city limit east of Oak Park, recognize that homelessness is a critical issue that needs to be addressed compassionately. But the proposal raises numerous questions.

What security measures are being proposed to address potential impacts to the existing residential neighborhood?

The neighborhood has experienced a rash of crimes related to the existing warming center including: drug/alcohol use, public urination/defecation, and at least one burglary committed by a drugaddled “transient” that ended with him violently resisting arrest. The proposal is located within a half-mile of Ocean View Elementary on a major walking route for schoolchildren. The potential for more problems are obvious.

HODIN

How was the location selected? The Grover Beach general plan already has an emergency shelter overlay zone in a mixed-use commercial neighborhood south of Grand Avenue. Rather than find an appropriate warming center location consistent with its general plan, Grover Beach is instead proposing to change the general plan to shoehorn the facility into a residential neighborhood with an elementary school because they found a convenient property and grant money.

That’s not how good public policy is implemented.

Why hasn’t there been more public outreach regarding this proposal? The Hillside Church has been used as a warming center for two years without any notice to neighbors. Local residents only learned about the proposed expansion through social media and word of mouth.

Furthermore, since the location is on the Grover Beach city limit east of Oak Park, it is primarily Arroyo Grande residents who will bear the impacts of the proposal.

What notice did Grover Beach provide to Arroyo Grande prior to selection of the site? According to the proposal, the property is already in escrow.

Neighborhood residents are feeling alienated and railroaded.

Why would emergency/transitional and affordable housing be co-located? The goal of affordable housing is to integrate disadvantaged folks into the larger

community. Fair enough, but placing an emergency shelter (warming center), homeless case management services, and transitional youth housing adjacent to affordable housing is counterproductive.

The homelessness crisis is a regional challenge that requires a regional response, incorporating input from all stakeholders. Grover Beach’s unilateral proposal reeks of opportunism, is not neighborly, and ultimately does the homeless a disservice. ∆ Ben Oakley writes from Arroyo Grande.

Letters Don’t put up a parking lot

“Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got ’Till it’s gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot” —“Big Yellow Taxi” This seems to be the plan of California State Parks’ proposed southern dune buggy entrance at Oso Flaco. Their proposal: 225 campsites, a “kids’ practice track” (whatever that means), and a staging area for 100 off-highway vehicles to traverse what is now a panoramic vista of dunes and environmentally sensitive habitat area.

What are they thinking? Yes, Oceano is now bearing the assault of the offhighway vehicles, but opening up Oso Flaco will move that mayhem south and probably won’t alleviate Oceano’s problem.

At Oso Flaco there are no amenities, no supermarkets or gas stations nearby other than on Tefft in Nipomo. What’s more, this is a vibrant farming area in which RVs would have to traverse roads that include lumbering farm vehicles and 18-wheelers taking produce to market.

Add to that a dangerous Union Pacific rail crossing on Oso Flaco Road, which is a disaster just waiting to happen with the increased traffic.

While “on paper” this seems to be a viable plan, especially when there is a plan for an expanded boardwalk area, but in reality … they want to “pave paradise and put up a parking lot.”

Laurance Shinderman Nipomo

Oso Flaco Lake at risk

California State Parks has proposed a new southern dune buggy entrance to the off-highway recreational vehicle area at Oso Flaco Lake. This is a disastrous idea! It undermines multi-decade efforts of many people and groups, including the Nature Conservancy, the Land Conservancy of SLO County, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Dedicated volunteers helped create the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Preserve, which protects thousands of acres of rare LETTERS continued page 15

Opinion COMMENTARY from page 14

dunes hosting a multitude of flora and fauna.

Oso Flaco Lake is an integral part of that habitat, and the California State Parks’ proposal would not only damage the region’s ecosystem, it would seriously detract from the fishing and hiking experience and convert 120 acres of agricultural land to uses including an off-highway vehicle staging area for increased motorized access. Outdoor recreation that is destructive to natural resources and habitats is the opposite of what California State Parks stands for: “The mission of California State Parks is to provide for the health, inspiration, and education of the people of California by helping to preserve the state’s extraordinary biological diversity, protecting its most valued natural and cultural resources, and creating opportunities for high-quality outdoor recreation.”

Marijuana is not the same as grapes

The article “Community division, accusations imperil York Mountain medical marijuana project” (March 7) missed several important points about the appeal hearing and why the community opposes this project: 1. The vast majority of those who spoke in favor of the project were growers or other business owners who will benefit financially from the expansion of the cannabis industry. No neighbors other than the family of the property owners are in support. This project negatively impacts the character of our rural residential neighborhood.

2. The permit application submitted by Kirk Consulting for McAllister/Gardner was more misleading than any alleged Google Earth photo manipulation. The permit greatly exaggerated previous agricultural activity on the property in order to avoid CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) review or an EIR (environmental impact report).

This project is in no way a continuation of agriculture that has been on this property either in size, water use, land disturbance, or building requirements.

3. The SLO County cannabis ordinance recognizes that cannabis is different from other crops (such as tomatoes and grapes) and “require[s] land use controls due to the unique federal and state constraints.”

Maybe there would not be the same outcry if the greenhouses were for tomatoes and the outdoor crop was grapes, as stated by 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson, because neither of these crops becomes a controlled substance as soon as it is ready to harvest. The county also has no data on water or energy use for growing marijuana compared to tomatoes and grapes.

The current Republican Party is trying an old scare tactic with voters: Claim that any new government-run social support program will lead to communism and dictatorship. They are then adding a new tactic on top of this: If we do enact any new social supports, we will end up like Venezuela. By using these tactics,

they are misguiding the American public.

First of all, there is a great difference between a government using taxes to provide services and supports, such as safety, education, and health care to its population, and a government taking over central control and the means of production. But the Republican Party wants us to think there is not.

The New York Times’ Paul Krugman does a nice job of explaining this in his article “Trump versus the socialist menace” (Feb. 7). He describes that the type of socialism that occurred in Venezuela as the government taking over the means of production. That type is not anywhere near the agenda of the Democratic Party, even with the most “extreme” candidates.

Asking the super wealthy and large corporations to pay their fair share of taxes is not asking too much. Supporting government programs to provided needed social support and assistance for ourselves and for our fellow citizens is not a bad thing. Doing so will only strengthen our country, not weaken it.

Secondly, according to the wellresearched and comprehensive article,

“Venezuela’s suicide: lessons from a failed state” (foreignaffairs.com), there were many other factors contributing to the current tragic situation in Venezuela. As I stated earlier, the “socialism” (modeled after Cuba) that occurred in Venezuela is entirely different from the call for more social support programs in the U.S. Also, aside from being a “petrostate” as a major factor in its downfall, the article explains how it was the turn from being a liberal democracy toward a kleptocracy and dictatorship that ultimately led to Venezuela’s current dire situation. The authors of this article, Moises Naim and Francisco Toro, conclude that, “Rather than a military invasion, Venezuelans’ best hope is to ensure that the flickering embers of protest and social dissent are not extinguished and that resistance to dictatorship is sustained.”

How ironic that some calling for war in Venezuela approve of Trump in our country. Like Venezuela’s recent leaders, Trump is supported by Putin, is corrupt as hell, and is threatening our liberal democracy. And Republicans approve of him! That is what we need to be afraid of, not Democrats who want to provide a sustainable environment and education and health care to our citizens.

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

A terrible deal T he Green New Deal (GND) reminds me of the story about the lover forced to make a choice between three doors, one of which had the love of his life, the other two not so good choices, like a tiger waiting to pounce. In the case of the GND, all three doors have a tiger; there are no happy endings despite the siren song of the Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity, and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Last week you were urged to “take the deal” (“Take the Deal,” March 7).

The deal is about as tempting as a personal invitation to a picnic held by the late Reverend Jim Jones in his South American compound. He’ll supply the Kool-Aid, all you have to do is drink it.

Apparently, many have.

You were told that commentator George Will’s assertion that a pause in global warming was a myth; therefore, you should ignore him. I guess that means we should also dismiss statements by NASA scientist James Hansen, no fan of mine or vice-versa, when he was reported to have stated “that nature may conspire [over] the next 10 years to produce the impression of an ongoing pause in global warming.”

Hansen is probably the leading U.S. scientist sounding the alarm about global warming/climate change—not exactly a “denier.” The temperature records speak for themselves; there’s been virtually no measurable or statistically relevant warming of the climate for nearly the last 20 years (since 1998), and the climate models that are predicting an overheated planet didn’t foresee this and can’t explain it. Perhaps Mr. Will is a more serious person than he is credited to be by the Sierra Club.

Even a previous column of mine was cited (“Green unicorns,” Feb. 14) by Andrew Christie of the Sierra Club last week; I’m humbled by the praise.

If one cares to do some homework, you will discover that the 95 percent of all scientists who accept that the world is catastrophically warming and that most of it is “human-caused” (anthropogenic) is based on an unscientific survey of just 77 scientists, with two disagreeing. There are many scientists who vehemently disagree, many hundreds who are leaders in their field of atmospheric sciences who take exception to the distortion of their work by a highly politicized United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The leadership of this body is not necessarily made up of scientists but of political leaders, many of whom have no background whatsoever in the field of atmospheric sciences. Some have a craven political agenda and have brazenly stated their goals of “wealth redistribution.”

Take the words of United Nations climate official Ottmar Edenhofer: “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole. … We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy.”

Edenhofer co-chaired the IPCC working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015. In 2010, Edenhofer stated that “the next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be negotiated,” (Investor’s Business Daily, March 29, 2016).

In 2015, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, made similar statements: “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” according to the same 2016 Investor’s Business Daily article.

Another report is Lorrie Goldstein’s Oct. 10, 2018, Toronto Sun article about Canada’s climate lobby and its impact on the Canadian economy, if policy is enacted. The agenda behind the agenda has emerged as the IPCC and other governmental bodies let slip their agendas of enacting radical economic policies behind the screen of climate policy.

In last week’s “Take the deal,” the author goes on to state that “this is an emergency.” Really? If it’s truly a “planetary emergency,” why is it that environmental groups steadfastly oppose immediate remedies using proven technologies that are currently available to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions? I refer, of course, to nuclear power, large hydroelectric projects, natural gas, and “fracking” technology, which produced a revolution in extracting natural gas from rock formations.

Putting fear and irrationality aside, natural gas, nuclear power, and large hydroelectric plants can produce all the greenhouse gas emission-free energy we need without destroying the U.S. economy, but the Sierra Club and others continue to block use of these technologies, even demanding their abandonment, preferring promotion of a climate of hysteria.

Climate alarmists have been predicting disaster, even global catastrophe, since the 1960s with virtually every prediction so wildly wrong that they should be categorized with religious cults predicting imminent doom, sitting on their rooftops, waiting for the end.

One catastrophic prediction that isn’t wrong, however, is the economic disaster that the $63 trillion Green New Deal will produce: widespread poverty, perpetual shortages, and the end of hope and opportunity in America. We might even come to envy Venezuela. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder

Pushy pushy H ey guys, guess what?

I’m extremely pushy and I tend to get my way.

I’m a bulldog, OK. I’m a GOD DAMN bulldog.

So take that and stick it in your offhighway vehicle hating pipe; breathe in that sweet, sweet PM-10 polluted air; and stuff your “stipulated air pollution abatement measures” right up your everlovin’ environmentalist ass!

Wooo! Yeah!

Oops. My bad. My intense thoughts got away from me. I was channeling my inner Ted “I Tend To Get My Way” Cabral, a commissioner on the Off-Highway Road Motor Vehicle Recreation Commissioner whose outer bulldog came out during a rant about the San Luis (pronounced “looeey” if you’re Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Acting Deputy Director Dan Canfield) Obispo County Air Pollution Control Board (APCD).

He was fed up with this little county air board’s opinion about the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA). But he promised commission meeting attendees on March 1 in Palmdale that he would choose his words wisely.

“I don’t want to add any fuel to the fire, so I’ll be careful what I say here, but I will do everything within my power to make sure that the park not only exists but gets

managed in a responsible manner,” Cabral said.

“What’s been done there is stupid, OK.” Wooo! Way to go Cabral!

Way not to throw any fuel on the already blazing bonfire of anger and resentment that surrounds any topic that has to do with recreational vehicle use on the dunes! Especially, all of this dust that gets kicked up and carried up to The Mesa. On March 12, those people got a little notice on their phone’s weather ap: “Unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups.” Because it was windy AF! Ooh, it chaps my metal.

Anyway, Cabral went on his mansplainy rant before the commission he sits on received an update about where things stand with the dust mitigation plans that the Oceano Dunes is working out with the APCD. “At some point, that local air board has got to be told to stand down. And It’s like, I know they have a job to do and stuff,” Cabral ‘splained. “The air board, in my opinion, thinks they have too much power, and I think that they need to be pushed back against.”

The APCD is a local regulatory agency, brosef! One with oversight and jurisdiction over the air (just in case you needed a reminder about what they are in charge of). Also, if all of those Trilogy peeps showed up to all your meetings to

INSERT INSERT SEASON SEASON IS IS HERE! HERE! IT’S TIME TO IT’S TIME TO MODERNIZE MODERNIZE YOUR FIREPLACE.

YOUR FIREPLACE.

rant and rave about dust giving them cancer, you would probably do something about it, too!

Some of them actually yell into the microphone. They also write a lot—like a lot—of letters to the editor.

Instead, the people who show up to commission meetings are duneriders, like Jim Suty with the Friends of the Oceano Dunes, who rant and rave about losing land to recreate on because of these sensitive groups who don’t want to breathe in particulate matter on days like March 12.

“Time and time again, we are promised things we don’t get,” Suty told OffHighway commissioners on March 1.

“Time and time again, we lose.”

Well Suty, whose group basically told New Times to pound sand on March 11, you’re not the only one losing, pal. The California Department of Recreation and Parks literally can’t win.

When Hearst San Simeon State Park released a proposal to put another camping area on the coast, people accused them of trying to mess with the elephant seals.

Which, really? Those elephant seals act like they own the whole coast! Showing up on all the beaches that are supposed to be for humans because Trumpty-Dumpty shut the federal government down. Who do they think they are?

And this recent Public Works Plan for the Oceano Dunes and Pismo State Beach that State Parks claims is the result of public input? You could have fooled the environmentalists, who are losing their collective damn mind.

State parks is thinking that it may want to put a campground and southern entrance to the dunes riding area right next to Oso Flaco Lake. The proposal includes taking 120 acres of agricultural land that is also part of the SVRA and converting it to that developed campground and staging area. Oh boy. I’m going to hang onto my keys for this one, because this fight’s off to a raring start!

The Sierra Club’s Santa Lucia Chapter Director Andrew Christie called Oso Flaco the worst possible spot in the entire Oceano Dunes SVRA to put a campground and staging area. Duh!!!

WTF were you thinking state parks?

It’s like you decided: The environmental community already hates us, so let’s propose something that will really give them an aneurism!

Any longtime SLO County environmentalist will tell you that they saved this “pristine” body of water four decades ago from loud, noisy, gas guzzling, exhaust-spewing motor vehicles decades ago. Those same environmentalists have also been asking State Parks to establish a southern entrance to the dunes for years to take the pressure off of Pier Avenue in Oceano and Arroyo Grande Creek.

And now that the option is on the table, the resounding response is to tell State Parks where to shove their plan.

Oy. The department is definitely not a bulldog and it almost never gets what it wants. ∆ The Shredder is a GOD DAMN bulldog. Send comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

CELEBRATE ‘THE BAND’ Playing songs from roots rock act The Band’s first two albums as well as originals, Hot Club of Cowtown (left) will join The Dustbowl Revival at the Fremont on March 20.

TEAM-UP With a horn section, The Dustbowl Revival will mix covers from The Band with their originals at the Fremont on March 20.

BY GLEN STARKEY

‘Across the Great Divide’ Hot Club of Cowtown, Dustbowl Revival team up at the Fremont Theater to celebrate roots rock act The Band

tandin’ by your window in pain/ A pistol in your hand/ And I beg you, dear Molly, girl/ Try and understand your man the best you can,” Robbie Robertson sang on “Across the Great Divide,” the lead track to The Band’s classic 1969 self-titled second album. Selections from that album as well as The Band’s debut, Music from the Big Pink (1968), will be given the Hot Club of Cowtown and Dustbowl Revival treatment when both bands team up to play a Cal Poly Arts show at the Fremont Theater on Wednesday, March 20 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $42 at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com).

Dustbowl Revival, an eight-piece Americana roots orchestra, has been through the county a few times now, and

they’re quite remarkable, with a great horn section, wily band leader Zach Lupetin, and super sultry lead singer Liz Beebe, who I’ve interviewed before, which is why I jumped at the chance to talk to Hot Club of Cowtown fiddler and singer Elana James this time around. Her hot jazz and Western swing trio got its start in San Diego, but this will be their SLO Town debut— surprising since they’ve played together for 20 years and are now the de facto house band of Austin, Texas’ Continental Club.

Growing up in Kansas City, James trained as a classical violinist: “I grew up playing Suzuki [method] violin,” she explained. “My mom is a classical violinist so that’s what I got exposed to as a little person.”

She transitioned to “fiddle” playing

after she “got into Western [horse] riding and worked in Colorado at a ranch,” where she started “playing in the owner’s cowboy band. Eventually, I realized that was going to be a better direction for me than trying to play classical music.”

She joined forces with bandmate Whit Smith (guitar) in 1994 after they met through a classified ad in NYC’s The Village Voice, playing around New York together until moving to San Diego in 1997.

“We started in San Diego when the swing scene was going on, like the Squirrel Nut Zippers and the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies—that Southern California scene,” James recalled.

In 1998, James and Smith moved to Austin, where they eventually added upright bassist Jake Erwin to the mix, and soon they were playing regularly at the famed Continental Club.

“The owner, Steve Wertheimer, has given us carte blanche to play happy hour somewhat consistently over the 20 years

we’ve been there, and that’s an amazing mash-up of different kinds of people and different age groups, especially now that Austin is getting bigger,” James noted.

“When we tour, I’m always surprised we’ve just continued to attract people older than we in the band are. When we started this band, I was in my mid-20s.

I just thought we’d have an audience made up of people my age—this music is so incredible! People are just going to go crazy, you know? We decided we’re going to do what we do and people who are meant to find us will find us.”

All three members are fantastic players, and they sing well together, playing genres that include bluegrass and various kinds of folk, roots rock, and Americana, as well as Gypsy sounds.

Central Asia, things like that,” James added. “Folk music always attracted me.”

After moving away from classical, James immersed herself in American Western culture.

“To me, it does lend a certain authenticity to the playing. I love Western culture, horses, and mountains,” she said.

“Just ask Whit and Jake—they’re sick of hearing me talk about it.”

James is so into it, she competed for and secured a mule-packing internship this upcoming summer in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana, though she’ll continue to play dates between trips.

She and Whit have also started writing originals for their trio, but it took a while because she says there are so many great songs to cover already.

“Hot jazz itself or Western swing— they’re such improvised styles! Sure, you can play the melody, but everything inside the song you’re essentially writing onstage that very moment, so there’s so much creativity available that the idea of sitting down and saying, ‘I’m going to write a song’—that was not foremost in my own mind,” James said.

The upcoming concert with Dustbowl will feature both bands playing together and separately, playing material from The Band’s first two albums, as well as Dustbowl and Cowtown originals.

“This tour that we’re doing, we’ve done in two parts,” James explained. “One was in January when we did a bunch of shows in the Pacific Northwest and up in Vancouver and Alaska, which was so fun. This is the second half of these dates, which is very rarefied—we’re not doing a lot of these shows. This is special. It’s not something you’ll likely ever see the Hot Club of Cowtown do again. We each play these various songs from The Band’s first two albums and then we do some songs together, so it’s like music The Band did, rearranged our way, and then both bands intersperse our own songwriting. Our original material fits interestingly well with their songs that we learned that we’re doing.”

This is going to be amazing, and after watching so many videos online, I can’t wait to see Cowtown live!

“We’re really looking forward to the tour,” James said. “No one’s going to leave there unhappy. Between us and Dustbowl, there are so many different kinds of sounds, so much music, and between the two of us we do at least 12 Band songs mixed between those two albums. And we have an EP out that we created just for this tour with seven songs. It’s a cool intersection between two bands and not a

show that’ll be on the road forever.

“And Dustbowl? They’re such a dynamic ensemble. They have almost three times the people in their band that we do. The sounds that they’re capable of making—and then when we all blend together—it’s just so cool. We never get the luxury of being on tour where we can blend into this greater good. It’s neat.”

Still Springfield!

When I was in high school and just out of it, the eternally young Rick Springfield was every girl’s heartthrob.

The handsome Australian was a pop music sensation and actor with a regular role in Battlestar Galactica, as well as guest roles in hit TV shows such as The Six Million Dollar Man, The Rockford Files, and Wonder Woman.

He’s now 69 years old, and there’d better be a Dorian Gray-style portrait in a closet somewhere because he still looks like he’s in his 40s!

This Saturday, March 16, Rick Springfield will play an intimate, stripped-down show in the Rava Winery amphitheater (6 to 9:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $45 general to $300 VIP at my805tix.com), filled with acoustic versions of classic hits like “Jessie’s Girl,” “I’ve Done Everything for You,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “Affair of the Heart,” and “Love Somebody,” as well as storytelling from a guy with plenty to tell!

Don’t miss your chance to see this Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, who’s sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, in Rick Springfield: Stripped Down.

I

t wasn’t his kind of story. Paso Roblesbased author Randolph Rogers is really more of a mystery guy. Still, for six months the story just wouldn’t go away, so Rogers fleshed out a world in the year 2022 where three families on the Central Coast must come together in the midst of a modern saga. And in November, the novel, The Luminous Fish, was born.

Protagonist Alex Sanchez and his family migrate north from Los Angeles after natural and accidental events clog and disrupt the food distribution network in the LA basin. The Sanchez family eventually lands at the Kimball Ranch near Morro Bay, where they must work with two other families to combat ranch invasions.

Rogers’ previous books include two short story collections: Twisted Tales and Dash Rambler. He caught up with New Times to discuss writing, crises, and trying new things.

NT: What inspired you to write The Luminous Fish?

RR: I had an organic jam company, and I noticed that in LA and elsewhere there was a change in grocery stores and distribution where they didn’t carry backstock anymore. And during the Rodney King riots, I got stuck in LA and saw people panic. And lastly, anytime I go to LA, anytime you’re going in or around LA, the smallest incident will cause a backup in traffic for hours. So I just took all of those circumstances [for the book].

NT: Do you have any upcoming projects?

RR: Braison: The Ripening and Saiginee: The Bleeding are coming out in 2019.

They take place in a fictional town called Twelve Oaks, which is Paso Robles. It’s about the wine industry, but they’re murder mysteries.

NT: What are some of your favorite books and authors?

RR: Recently I liked Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Patricia Highsmith (The Talented Mr. Ripley), she’s my favorite. She wrote in the ’20s and ’30s. All of my favorite mystery writers are women. What I’m reading right now is The Pig Eater by Jody Shields.

NT: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

RR: Write. Don’t listen to anyone. Don’t try to sound like anyone. Find your voice and write. Some of the best writing occurs when I don’t feel like writing. Just keep writing. Δ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is reading under the covers with a flashlight. Contact her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

o-writers and directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Mississippi Grind) helm this new installation in the Marvel Universe. In 1995, former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) becomes the superhero Captain Marvel, joining an intergalactic cohort called Starforce before returning home to discover Earth is caught in a war between two alien species. (124 min.)

Glen The plot is a bit more complicated than what’s above. The story opens when Vers, as Carol is known in the Kree capital planet of Hala, is training to become a Kree warrior. Her problem, as her training partner and team leader Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) tells her, is she can’t control her emotions when she’s in battle.

Vers is a bit of hot mess. Women, right?

She suffers from nightmares involving another woman (Annette Bening), and she doesn’t remember her past. Much of the film moves back and forth in time as Carol slowly pieces together her life before she became a Kree fighter and member of Starforce, which is at war with the Skrulls, shape-shifting aliens who can disguise themselves as anyone they come in contact with. I don’t want to give too much of the inventive plot away.

Part of the film’s fun is that viewers are as much in the dark about Carol’s past and what’s happening between the Kree and the Skrulls as she is. Suffice it to say, the story heats up when Carol eventually finds herself back on Earth, where her arrival, crashing through the roof of a Blockbuster Video store and finding communication gear at a RadioShack—

She soon figures out the mystery man’s name and with the car she was given for her birthday and a credit card “for emergencies,” she’s hatched a plan to go find her father in the mountains of Scotland. The one thing standing in her way is her provisional license—she needs a responsible adult along for the ride. She sets her sights on Oz (Andrew Murton), a homeless and harmless man that Charlie has gotten to know at the local art museum, albeit barely. He reluctantly agrees to the trip to get him out of town and away from some bad dudes, just as long as Charlie does all of the driving.

Their roadside adventure is the bulk of the film, and the bonding between characters grows as their layers are slowly peeled away. Oz has some pretty complicated circumstances that led him to

where he is in life, as well as a tendency toward overwhelming panic attacks when put in a situation he can’t handle. Charlie is desperate to find her footing in a world turned unexpectedly upside down. The two, with the help of a handful of quirky characters they meet along the way, finally realize that this journey is about a lot more than finding a long-lost dad, but a chance to find themselves along the winding roads to Scotland.

It’s a fun twist on the old buddy pic, full of lighthearted laughter and tinged with tenderness. Director Chambers knows how to keep the heavier parts bubbly and uses a clever map full of miniature tracks along their journey in adorable interludes.

EVERYBODY KNOWS What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Galaxy, The Palm Asghar Farhadi (The Salesman, A Separation) directs Penélope Cruz as Laura, a woman who returns to her hometown in Madrid to attend her sister’s wedding only to be led through a flurry of emotions when her daughter is kidnapped. This whirlwind drama is Iranian writer-director Farhadi’s first film with a script in Spanish.

This film is less concerned with quickly getting to the dramatic point of the film and instead lets the audience really learn about the characters and their habitual routines. We have time to figure what role each character has in the story that’s about to unfold.

After not visiting for years, Laura and her two children are returning to her roots in Madrid. She currently lives in Argentina with her husband, who suspiciously was not able to attend the family affair. We’re instantly thrown into the scene of a very expressive and happy family that owns and runs a hotel where the festivities will take place. The camera first focuses largely on Laura’s daughter, Irene (Carla Campra), a freespirited young girl who flirts with a neighboring boy, Felipe (Sergio Castellanos).

We’re also introduced to Paco (Javier Bardem), Laura’s former love interest, who lives with his wife, Bea, on a vineyard that they work on the outskirts of town. The vineyard is the cause of an underlying rift between Paco and the family, as he purchased the land from Laura some years ago. He attends the wedding with his wife, but the repressed feelings between him and Laura are there.

One minute we’re sucked into the laughter, music, and dance of the ceremonial festivities; the next we’re on the edge of our seats as Laura has discovered her daughter was taken from her bedroom. Laura’s first instinct is to ask Paco for help. The kidnappers are asking for a ransom and instruct the family to not alert the authorities or else they’ll hurt Irene. Not only does Paco leave the police out of this, he

Pick

suspiciously doesn’t tell anyone outside of the family what’s going on.

As the story thickens and as, in small-town fashion, everyone starts talking about the incident, the chatter turns to speculating that maybe the kidnapper is Laura’s husband. The gossip also turns to questioning Paco’s motive for being so heavily involved in the search for Irene.

Farhadi does a stellar job of lingering on these characters and pushing their emotions to the limit with the disappearance of a child. While I do appreciate the time Farhadi took to develop the story, I think it was a half-hour too long. It’s smartly written, has an amazing cast, and leaves the audience to second-guess whodunit.

I will say there are many twists within the story that the audience doesn’t really see coming, but in the end we all know. (133 min.; in Spanish, English, and Catalan).

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE Two teenagers with cystic fibrosis— Stella (Haley Lu Richardson) and Will (Cole Sprouse)—fall in love in a hospital but must stay 6 feet apart to avoid cross-infection, in the young adult romance-drama, Five Feet Apart. “invented the iPhone before the iPhone” turns out to be a much deeper exploration of tech, creativity, and failure, in General Magic, screening as part of the SLO International Film Festival on March 14 and 16.

Directors Sarah Kerruish and Matt Maude helm this doc chronicling the rise and fall of short-lived tech upstart General Magic. Formed in 1989 by a team of ex-Apple employees, General Magic envisioned a world in which everyone carried tiny personal computer/phones around in their pockets (sound familiar?). They obsessed over making this product a reality, pouring all their time, energy, and resources into its creation.

Unfortunately, the world wasn’t ready. The tech wasn’t there yet, the consumer appetite wasn’t there yet, and the company got blindsided by the advent of the internet, which knocked it out of business altogether a decade later.

This film provides a great snapshot of the idealism, enthusiasm, and big-picture thinking that coursed through Silicon Valley in the ’80s and ’90s. There’s plenty of footage of the General Magic offices and employees that captures the excitement and inventive thinking that was taking place. These were people literally brimming with creativity and idealism— to the point of naiveté. The company’s principals became so enamored by and immersed in their imagined product that they lost track of the developments in the industry around them. This ultimately killed General Magic, but nevertheless, the earliest mock-ups of the handheld device look chillingly similar to the smartphones we own today. In its early days, founder and CEO Marc Porat even uses the term “smart phone,” and talks with incredible precision about the future, even predicting smart watches.

General Magic shows us how true innovation is incremental and how sometimes credit isn’t given where it’s due. It lays bare the disappointment that comes with just missing your moment, of watching your small window of opportunity slam shut. The best descriptor of this came in the form of a surfing metaphor: General Magic tried to paddle into a wave that was too far away; by the time it arrived, they were too exhausted to ride it.

This doc is thought-provoking and worth the ride. (92 min.)

Throughout the film, the two women fight over who is the rightful Queen of England, but the main issue is the men that surround them—the men on their councils, the men they had relationships with (sexual or not), and the men who are their subjects. There wasn’t a single man the women could trust. In one way or another, men were tired of listening to and being commanded by women. While their two reigns were fiercely driven apart, the only mutual understanding they had was taking a stand against men. (124 min.)

When it comes to television, there’s never been a better time to be a comic book fan.

While splashy, big-budget movies get most of the attention, television and streaming services offer a cornucopia of content based on both well-loved and lesser-known superheroes. From Netflix’s stable of Marvel shows to the teen-centered DC offerings on the CW Network, there’s no shortage of good stuff for comic book nerds of all tastes.

If those tastes lean toward the darkly humorous and hyper-violent, then the first season of Syfy’s Happy! is right up your alley. Based on the comic book series by Grant Morrison, Happy! follows the exploits of an alcoholic ex-cop-turned-hitman named Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni). The show’s eight-episode first season follows Sax as he tries to track down a daughter

The film is screening as part of the SLO International Film Festival (slofilmlest.com). of comedic timing in their respective roles.

The way Moss initially scoffs at Belvue’s innovative prototypes for Velcro, cotton swabs, the zipper, and the rubber band is especially hilarious. After confidently explaining the uselessness of each invention, Moss proceeds to boast about his own latest creations, including a radium water-drinking dispenser intended for perpetual good health and a candelabra ripoff he calls “the illuminatra.”

Aside from the superb acting, the film is also beautifully shot in the famed Bradbury Building in Los Angeles (Blade Runner, anyone?). The vintage elevators and ornate ironwork of the building compliment the film’s cog-driven atmosphere quite well.

The SLO International Film Festival hosts the North American premiere of Men of Vision and two additional screenings on March 16 and 17, all at the Palm Theater. Todaro and Serotsky will be in attendance both days. (19 min.)

Happy! is black comedy at its darkest.

Meloni’s Sax is slovenly, drunk, and incredibly violent, standing in sharp contrast to Happy, whose childlike, relentlessly positive and upbeat attitude is constantly under assault by Sax’s lurid and murderous behavior. The violence in the show is so over-the-top and grotesque that it’s comical. Still, through all the nihilism and darkness that is the show, Meloni brings a lot of pathos to the role, making it easy to root for a character who otherwise is just about as irredeemable as you can get. Oswalt, too, brings a lot of levity to the show, and his voice-acting talents inject a lot of life and dimension into what could be a pretty annoying CG character.

As Syfy prepares to drop a second season of the show, it’s clear that while Happy! may not be for everyone, it demonstrates that comic book-based content on television can go far beyond the brightly colored spandex superheroes we all know and love. There’s a large market

Kitchen comeback The Wellness Kitchen in Templeton is back up and running

C

innamon was all I could think about after I walked through the door of the Wellness Kitchen and Resource Center in Templeton on March 8. It tickled my nostrils. The comfort of cooking spices wafting through a kitchen pushed tasty memories to the forefront of my brain.

I ticked through all the familiar foods it could be. I was hoping for cinnamon rolls.

I sat in the waiting area next to cookbooks and pamphlets, all touting fresh, whole foods to make your body and mind feel as healthy as possible. Bone broth and full meals were waiting in the sliding glass cooler for Wellness Kitchen members to pick up.

Executive Director Gina Marie Grieb was on the phone at her desk, between stacked up boxes of files that were waiting to be unpacked. Fresh drywall, paint, and the chrome of a recently refinished commercial kitchen gleamed with newness. Founder and therapeutic chef Nancy Walker was stacking waffles in the kitchen.

The nonprofit moved back into this space during the first week of March and has been cooking meals and passing out bone broth and healing tea from its home base since then. During the week of March 11 to 15, the Wellness Kitchen hosted a series of events for its grand-reopening after a fire on Oct. 21, 2018, destroyed the kitchen, momentarily halting all of the work that the Wellness Kitchen does.

“It was super emotional,” Walker said.

“Coming back here, it looked like a bomb had gone off.”

Grieb had been the executive director for less than six months when the fire happened. As clients started calling, wondering if they would still have access to the low-cost, healthy meals—often tailored to restricted diets and for those with cancer or chronic diseases—that the Wellness Kitchen is known for, Grieb said she knew they needed to find another kitchen that could act as a stopgap until this building could get gutted, cleaned of smoke damage, and rebuilt.

“This was crisis 101 for me,” Grieb said.

“I could have left, but I didn’t because this entity is amazing. … We’re just like a family. We just came together.”

By family, she doesn’t just mean the paid staffers or 55 volunteers who help run the kitchen and deliver meals. The Wellness Kitchen has a lot of support from the community.

Atascadero Bible Church offered up its kitchen for use temporarily. Idler’s Home in Paso Robles donated its space so the nonprofit could still teach its nutrition education and cooking classes. Fig at Courtney’s House was where the Wellness Kitchen distributed its meals from, and J. Dusi gave the nonprofit some warehouse

space for the administrative side of things.

After the fire, Grieb said, she had to lay off four employees, but three of them want to come back and offer their services as volunteers. It’s an example of how much the community believes in the work that this nonprofit does.

Grieb sent me a text message follow-up on March 9, listing all of the businesses that donated materials and labor to get the kitchen back up and running. Totally Tile did the tile, Stuart Flooring refinished the concrete floor, Central Coast Mechanical donated refrigeration services and an icemaker, Pier 46 donated a prep sink.

“I don’t know how we managed to do it, looking back on it now. … It was definitely community-driven, as far as support,” Grieb said. “The whole community called me and just said, ‘What can I do?’”

As piecemeal and spread out as everything was, Grieb looks at things with a glass-half-full type of attitude.

“I look at this last year as a year of transition and sustainability,” Grieb said.

“Next year is the year of transition and opportunity.”

And the Wellness Kitchen does have big plans for the future. It’s going to roll out a diabetes program that includes an educational component, and it plans to start healthy cooking classes for children and teenagers. Grieb said the Wellness Kitchen would also like to expand its meal delivery program. Currently schlepping meals from San Simeon to San Luis Obispo, eventually the kitchen wants to expand that service

along the coast and into South County.

In addition to all of that, the kitchen is increasing its catering services as well.

With food that’s gluten-free and dairyfree with unrefined sugars, the Wellness Kitchen offers up a healthier option for a wine pick-up party or other events. That’s where the cinnamon comes in.

The smell engulfing my senses were waffles made with teff flour, which is ground from the ancient Ethiopian grain, teff. Walker broke off one of those delectable overhanging edges for me to taste. It’s soft and warm, with a clean flavor.

These thin waffles will become part of the Wellness Kitchen’s version of chicken and waffles, only instead of deep-frying the chicken, it’s getting baked with apples and onions. That will then be tucked into a folded waffle as a grab-n-go item for an event the kitchen is catering at a winery.

A lot needs to happen in this space over the weekend. All of the files needed to be unpacked and put away, and the Wellness Kitchen had to prepare for its first festivity of the week.

On March 10, the Wellness Kitchen hosted a big celebration for all of its volunteers.

“We do a volunteers’ event every year, but this year’s a little more special,” Grieb said.

“They were pretty much waiting for us to come back.” Δ Editor Camillia Lanham is all about comebacks. She can be reached at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Last year was a tough one in my garden.

I fought gophers, and the gophers won.

Things started out well enough. Raised planter boxes already existed at the house I had just moved to, so I decided to use them, carefully cultivating little seeds into seedlings before transplanting them into these boxes that I didn’t have to build! That was mistake No. 1. As my tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, squash, and zucchini started to grow, they also started to disappear—pulled through holes that popped up around their roots. I dug up one of the planter boxes and found that the little devils had chewed holes through the crappy plastic “chicken wire” that somebody

had laid down. I carefully removed the plants that were left and ripped everything out. Using some leftover fencing and leftover plastic-coated actual chicken wire, I fashioned a couple of large planter boxes, dug out the dirt, filled them, and replanted! That was mistake No. 2, but I wouldn’t find out until almost the end of the summer. The maturation on my carefully selected and saved, painfully planted and replanted vegetables was now stunted. It took a while for the tomatoes to appear and even longer for them to turn from green to yellow, orange, and red. Peppers and squash came first, then eggplant. Now, I would like to sing a love song to my eggplant. I watched as the little elongated veggies went from white to purple. They were soft and succulent. Perfect to have with my eggs in the morning. The thought of a freshly plucked eggplant, sliced and diced, added to my pre-work scramble makes me dream of midsummer. The warming air and smell of the leaves on my hands. Alas, I didn’t get to finish picking all of my little jewels because the damn gophers got them again!

One by one, they chewed through the roots and pulled them through the ground. I’ve got plans for this year’s garden, and it includes annihilating those little vegetable munchers and a steel cage.

Get your eggplant seeds or seedlings from the local nursery. You won’t regret it. ∆

Prequalification of Construction General Contractors (“Construction Contractors”) and Control Systems Integrators The City of San Luis Obispo (“City”) has prequalified Construction Contractors and Control Systems Integrators pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20101. Prequalified Construction Contractors and Control Systems Integrators are listed in the Instructions to Bidders.

In accordance with federal regulations related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds to be used for the Project, additional Construction Contractors and Control Systems Integrators interested in bidding on the Project may submit Statements of Qualifications up to the Bid Closing as set forth in the Instructions to Bidders. The City will inform these Construction Contractors and Control Systems Integrators in writing whether they are prequalified to Bid on the Project, and will notify all bidders of the final list of Prequalified Contractors prior to Bid Opening. See Instructions to Bidders for more information about qualifying during the Bid solicitation period. In order to be eligible to submit a Bid, a Construction Contractor must be Prequalified. Only bids from Qualified Construction Contractors will be opened.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprises The City encourages the participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in this Project. Bidders must comply with the requirements of the USEPA’s Program for Utilization of Small, Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises, which can be accessed at www.epa.gov./osbp.

Bid Opening Because federal law requires that the prequalification process remains open until the time for Bid Closing, if any Construction Contractor or Control Systems Integrator submits a Statement of Qualification on or before the Bid Closing, Bids will be held unopened while the City evaluates the Statements of Qualifications. Bids will be opened and publicly read aloud at 2:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter is practicable fourteen (14) calendar days after the Bid Closing. If the City does not receive any new Statements of Qualifications on or before Bid Closing, the City will notify all Bidders in writing of the date and time at which Bids received from Prequalified Construction Contractors will be opened and read, which will be not less than 72 hours from the time the notice is given.

Project Description and Requirements The Project includes new and modified facilities at the San Luis Obispo Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) and is designed to meet new discharge permit requirements, increase capacity to meet future flows and loads under dry and wet weather conditions, replace aging infrastructure, maximize recycled water production and incorporate interactive features and public amenities. The Project will modify existing process facilities, add new process facilities, and provide a new building campus for Public Utilities staff and the public.

The San Luis Obispo WRRF is an active and operational water resource recovery facility. It is required that the facility remain in operation at all times, except for City approved planned shutdown intervals during the cutover of new improvements and modifications to existing systems. The Project has specific milestones, constraints, testing periods, and completion requirements to meet a Time Schedule Order. The estimated construction cost of this Project is between $101,000,000 and $129,000,000. The Work includes an assignment of a purchase agreement for a Membrane Equipment System (Specification No. 91539A) to the Contractor.

All bids will remain valid for ninety (90) calendar days after Bid Opening. The Work shall be Substantially Complete within 1,230 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, and finally Complete within 1,290 calendar days after Notice to Proceed.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 3400(b), the City has made findings designating certain materials, products, things, or services by specific brand or trade name, and no substitutions will be accepted for those items, as set forth in the Instructions to Bidders.

The Work described under these Bidding Documents is to be paid for by public funds; therefore, the Project is a public work and prevailing wage rates and other requirements apply.

The attention of the Bidders is directed to the applicable Federal and State requirements and conditions of employment to be observed and minimum wage rates to be paid under the Contract.

The Director of Industrial Relations has determined the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which this work is to be performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the Contract which will be awarded to the successful Bidder, copies of which are on file and will be made available to any interested party upon request at the Offices of the City or online at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr. A copy of these rates shall be posted by the successful Bidder at the job Site. The successful Bidder and all its Subcontractor(s) shall comply with all applicable Labor Code provisions, which include, but are not limited to the payment of not less than the required prevailing rates to all workers employed by them in the completion of the Project, the employment of apprentices, the hours of labor and the debarment of contractors and subcontractor. Since this Project is funded in whole or in part with a loan from the California State Revolving Fund (SRF), and with a FEMA grant provided through the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the work must also comply with the minimum rates for wages for laborers and mechanics as determined by the U.S. Secretary of Labor in accordance with the provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act. As between the State and Federal wage rates, if both rates apply to any portion of the work, the higher of the two rates must be paid. Attention is directed to the SRF and FEMA Funding Requirements Supplements to the Instructions to Bidders. In bidding on this Project, it shall be the Bidder’s sole responsibility to evaluate and include the cost of complying with all labor compliance requirements under this Contract and applicable law in its Bid. Before the Contract is awarded, the apparent low Bidder will be required to provide proof of the Bidder’s and any applicable Subcontractors’ current registration with the Department of Industrial Relations to perform public work, as well as active licenses issued by the California Contractors State License Board of a class appropriate to the work each will perform.

If awarded a Contract, the successful Bidder and its applicable Subcontractors, of any tier, shall maintain the required contractor’s license and active registration with the Department of Industrial Relations for the duration of the Project.

In order to enter into the Contract and perform public work, the Bidder shall hold or obtain such licenses as required by State Statutes, and Federal and local laws and regulations.

The City has determined that the Construction Contractor must have a Class A – General Engineering – Contractor’s license issued by the California Contractors License Board to perform the Work at the time the Contract is awarded. The Bidder must have a valid City of San Luis Obispo business license and tax certificate before beginning the Work. Additional information regarding the City’s business license and tax program may be obtained by calling (805) 781-7134.

The Contractors or Subcontractors may not perform work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Section 1777.1 or Section 1777.7 of the Labor Code. Any contract on a public works project entered into between a contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law.

A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid to a debarred subcontractor by the Contractor shall be returned to the City. The Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor used on the Work.

Each Bid must be submitted on the prescribed Bid Form and accompanied by Bid security as prescribed in the Instructions to Bidders, payable to the Owner in an amount not less than 10 percent of the Bid amount.

City will award the Contract for the Project, if a Contract is awarded, to the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder as determined by the City. City will determine the low Bid on the Base Bid only. The City may elect to include any or none of the Alternate Bid Items, or to otherwise remove certain work from the Project scope of work. Accordingly, each Bidder must ensure that each Bid Item contains a proportionate share of profit, overhead, and other costs or expenses which will be incurred by the Bidder. The Successful Bidder will be required to furnish payment and performance bonds in an amount equal to 100 percent of the Contract Price and in the form included in the Bidding Documents as well as insurance prescribed in the Bidding Documents.

SRF loan funds will be used for Project funding. The Bidder shall comply with all of the requirements for SRF funding as described in the SRF Supplement, and shall submit all forms, including the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) forms as part of the Bid. Prospective Bidders must complete and submit SRF DBE Form 4500-3 and Form 4500-4 WITH their Bids. In addition, FEMA grant funds will be used for Project funding. The Bidder shall comply with all of the requirements for FEMA funding as described in the FEMA Supplement.

Both the SRF and FEMA requirements are included as Supplements to the Instructions to Bidders and should be carefully reviewed by Bidders.

Payment for the Work accomplished will be made monthly, but five (5) percent of the amount earned will be withheld to ensure performance under the Contract. In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300, the Construction Contractor may elect to substitute securities of equivalent value in lieu of retention.

This Project is subject to the terms of a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) by and between the City and the Tri-Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL CIO, and the signatory craft councils and unions. The Successful Bidder and each of its Subcontractors of any tier will be required to submit a letter of assent agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the CWA prior to performing any craft labor on the Project.

The letter of assent must be submitted by the Bidder along with copies of the signed Agreement. A copy of the CWA is included with the Bidding Documents as an Exhibit to the Agreement. Owner’s right is reserved to reject all Bids or any Bid not conforming to the intent and purpose of the Bidding Documents.

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.

In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000622-18-1.

(March 21-April 19): The coming weeks might be a good time to acquire a flamethrower. It would come in handy if you felt the urge to go to a beach and incinerate mementoes from an ex-ally. It would also be useful if you wanted to burn stuff that reminds you of who you used to be and don’t want to be any more; or if you got in the mood to set ablaze symbols of questionable ideas you used to believe in but can’t afford to believe in any more. If you don’t want to spend $1,600-plus on a flamethrower, just close your eyes for 10 minutes and visualize yourself performing acts of creative destruction like those I mentioned.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover,” wrote author James Baldwin. “If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” To fully endorse that statement, I’d need to add two adverbs. My version would be, “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to kindly and compassionately make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you Libras enthusiastically adopt that mission during the coming weeks. With tenderness and care, help those you care about to become aware of what they’ve been missing—and ask for the same from them toward you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus aphorist Olivia Dresher writes that she would like to be “a force of nature,” but “not causing any suffering.” The way I interpret her longing is that she wants to be wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure—all the while without inflicting any hurt or damage on herself or anyone else. In accordance with your astrological omens, Taurus, that’s a state I encourage you to embody in the coming weeks. If you’re feeling extra smart—which I suspect you will—you could go even further. You may be able to heal yourself and others with your wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure energy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In some major cities, the buttons you push at a crosswalk don’t actually work to make the traffic light turn green faster. The same is true about the “Close Door” buttons in many elevators. Pushing them doesn’t have any effect on the door. Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer says these buttons are like placebos that give you “the illusion of control.” I bring this phenomenon to your attention, Gemini, in hope of inspiring you to scout around for comparable things in your life. Is there any situation where you imagine you have power or influence, but probably don’t? If so, now is an excellent time to find out—and remedy that problem.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Philip Boit was born and raised in Kenya, where it never snows except on the very top of Mount Kenya.

Yet he represented his country in the cross-country skiing events at the Winter Olympics in 2002 and 2006. How did he do it? He trained up north in snowy Finland. Meanwhile, Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong competed for Ghana in the slalom in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Since there was no snow in his homeland, he practiced his skills in the French Alps. These two are your role models for the coming months, Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to achieve success in tasks and activities that may not seem like a natural fit.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For thousands of generations, our early ancestors were able to get some of the food they needed through a practice known as persistence hunting. They usually couldn’t run as fast as the animals they chased.

But they had a distinct advantage: They could keep moving relentlessly until their prey grew exhausted. In part that’s because they had far less hair than the animals, and thus could cool off better. I propose that we adopt this theme as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks and months. You won’t need to be extra fast or super ferocious or impossibly clever to get what you want. All you have to do is be persistent and dogged and disciplined.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Wompsi’kuk Skeesucks Brooke is a Native American woman of the Mohegan tribe. According to her description of Mohegan naming traditions, and reported by author Elisabeth Pearson Waugaman, “Children receive names that are descriptive. They may be given new names at adolescence, and again as they go through life according to what their life experiences and accomplishments are.” She concludes that names “change as the individual changes.”

If you have been thinking about transforming the way you express and present yourself, you might want to consider such a shift; 2019 will be a favorable time to at least add a new nickname or title. And I suspect you’ll have maximum inspiration to do so in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For many of us, smell is our most neglected sense. We see, hear, taste, and feel with vividness and eagerness, but allow our olfactory powers to go underused.

In accordance with astrological omens, I hope you will compensate for that dearth in the coming weeks. There is subtle information you can obtain—and in my opinion, need quite strongly—that will come your way only with the help of your nose. Trust the guidance provided by scent.

AQUARIUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): In the process of casting for his movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher considered selecting A-list actress Scarlet Johansson to play the heroine. But ultimately he decided she was too sexy and radiant. He wanted a pale, thin, tougher-looking actress, whom he found in Rooney Mara. I suspect that in a somewhat similar way, you may be perceived as being too much something for a role you would actually perform quite well. But in my astrological opinion, you’re not at all too much. In fact, you’re just right. Is there anything you can do—with full integrity—to adjust how people see you and understand you without diluting your brightness and strength?

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Essayist Nassim Nicholas Taleb says humans come in three types: fragile, robust, or antifragile.

Those who are fragile work hard to shield themselves from life’s messiness. The downside? They are deprived of experiences that might spur them to grow smarter. As for robust people, Taleb believes they are firm in the face of messiness. They remain who they are even when they’re disrupted. The potential problem? They may be too strong to surrender to necessary transformations. If you’re the third type, antifragile, you engage with the messiness and use it as motivation to become more creative and resilient. The downside? None. In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I urge you to adopt the antifragile approach in the coming weeks.

PISCES

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1993, an English gardener named Eric Lawes used his metal detector to look for a hammer that his farmer friend had lost in a field. Instead of the hammer, he found the unexpected: a buried box containing 15,234 old Roman silver and gold worth more than $4 million today. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something different from what you’re searching for. Like the treasure Lawes located, it might even be more valuable than what you thought you wanted.

(Feb. 19-March 20): In 2014, NASA managed to place its MAVEN spacecraft into orbit around Mars. The cost of the mission was $671 million. Soon thereafter, the Indian government put its own vehicle, the Mangalyaan, into orbit around the Red Planet. It spent $74 million. As you plan your own big project, Pisces, I recommend you emulate the Mangalyaan rather than the MAVEN. I suspect you can do great things—maybe even your personal equivalent of sending a spacecraft to Mars—on a relatively modest budget. ∆
