County supervisors to debate 2020 election model choice

an Luis Obispo County supervisors will hear from county Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong on Feb. 26 about the pros and cons of implementing a new election model in 2020 geared toward mail-in voting. The discussion comes after Tribune columnist Tom Fulks criticized Gong in a Feb. 1 opinion piece for shying away from the model—which then led to some pointed questioning on the issue from 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson and 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill. “It seems as if you’ve already come up with a dismissal of it without looking at how potentially you might be able to do this,” Hill said to Gong at a Feb. 5 meeting, where the supervisors voted to agendize the Feb. 26 discussion. Gong told New Times that he is leaning against deploying the optional model introduced in California in 2018 via Senate Bill 450. The model—used by five counties in 2018— restructures elections around mail-in voting. Every registered voter would receive a ballot in the mail, and instead of the county opening the standard 78 polls on Election Day, it would staff and operate 20 “vote centers” required to stay open for 10 days before and through Election Day. “It’s like having an Election Day every day for 10 days before,” Gong said. Gong’s key concerns are that the model would be too expensive (mainly due to the staffing/ infrastructure requirements at the vote centers), logistically challenging, and could risk squelching the SLO County vote in a highly anticipated 2020 presidential election. “The larger the election is, the more voters are going to turn out at the polls,” Gong said. “You look at presidential elections, we always have a stronger turnout of poll voters.” Educating the public on a brand new election system, he said, “isn’t impossible, but is it the

most prudent thing to do?” In 2018, SLO County was on a short list of 14 counties eligible to pilot the new model. Gong’s office studied the feasibility of that for eight months and decided against it for similar reasons to why he’s not in favor of it for 2020.

Paso council member asks to repeal rental urgency ordinance

Paso Robles City Councilmember John Hamon is asking the council to consider repealing a recently passed short-term rental urgency ordinance due to a potential conflict of interest. According to the SLO County Assessor’s Office, Hamon, currently serving his fourth term on the council, is the trustee of a vacation rental at 821 16th St. in Paso Robles. Hamon told New Times that he has zero percent ownership in the trust and therefore doesn’t have any ownership of the property, but he confirmed that he and his sister are listed as the executor trustees. At the Feb. 5 City Council meeting, he voted to adopt a short-term-rental urgency ordinance—which went into effect on Feb. 13. The ordinance establishes requirements for the operation of any short-term rental, such as maximum occupancy, parking limits, and building code compliance. “When this item came to the City Council last week, I believed that I did not have a conflict in

participating in the discussion because I have no actual ownership or financial interest in any vacation rental properties, nor do I or any member of my immediate family receive any compensation from any vacation rentals within the city,” Hamon told New Times. According to the Vacation Rentals by Owner (VRBO) website, the rental property in question lists Hamon’s wife, Marjorie Hamon, as the property manager. Hamon said his wife only operates the property for his mother but doesn’t receive any compensation for the occasional paperwork she does. In response to questions from New Times, he said he’d consulted with the city’s legal counsel and learned that because he is a trustee of the property, it may constitute having an interest in the property under the conflict of interest rules. “I was not aware that an indirect interest could also present a conflict,” he said on Feb. 12. “I have asked that the City Council consider repealing the urgency ordinance next week and that it consider directing staff not to bring the regular ordinance back for second reading so that the process is entirely aboveboard.

Hamon has been part of the shortterm rental ordinance policy discussion since 2016. At a March 1, 2016, meeting, Hamon voted to move a part-time staff assistant position to full time, to address current planning matters such as shortterm rentals and project applications. A couple of weeks later, on March 15, he voted to direct the city manager to form an advisory panel on the issue. At a Jan. 31, 2017, short-term rental task force workshop, Hamon seconded a motion made by Mayor Steven Martin, to forward the draft short-term rental ordinance to the Planning Commission for a hearing. At a Nov. 7, 2017, meeting Hamon abstained from voting on the shortterm rental ordinance and zoning code amendment, due to a conflict of interest. Although New Times asked him why he abstained on that particular occasion, he didn’t respond to the question. —Karen Garcia

Los Osos appoints Christine Womack to director seat

Amid community concerns, the Los Osos Community Services District (CSD) appointed Christine Womack to continue her two-year term on the board of directors. Womack ran unopposed for a two-year term during the Nov. 6 election because of a clerical error, was elected, and then that election was rescinded. Her appointment didn’t sit well with some district residents who spoke up during public comment at the Feb. 7 meeting. Resident Linde Owen told board members that the other CSD candidates had to spend their time and money campaigning in the community, while Womack didn’t. “That just left Christine to not have to do that work and to give her a four-year term is just pretty much unfair to those that made the effort,” Owen said. Other public comment makers blamed the error on SLO County Clerk Tommy Gong—who took responsibility for the incident—and district staff. Matthew Fourcroy, a recently elected board director, said he didn’t believe that anyone in the district had made the error on purpose, and this decision was a good time for the community to move forward. “This is a point where we could pick each other apart about this or we can decide that this is something we could come together about,” Fourcroy said. While Womack ran unopposed in 2018, four other candidates competed for two open four-year term seats. All of the candidates should have been on the ballot for four-year terms. The SLO County Board of Supervisors rescinded Womack’s election on Nov. 20, leaving the district with the responsibility of deciding whether to hold a special election for the open seat in November 2019 or appoint a member to serve until the general election in 2020. Renee Osborne, the district’s general manager, told New Times that she’s glad the decision is made and the district can move on. “We have so many things we’re trying to accomplish, and this is something that we don’t have to worry about anymore, and we can move forward,” Osborne said. —Karen Garcia

VIEWER DISCRETION

by Jayson Mellom

Judge approves confidential jail visits in murder case As he waits to stand trial for the murder of 62-year-old Paso Robles resident Nancy Woodrum, 42-yearold Carlo Alberto Fuentes Flores will begin meeting with experts who could testify in his defense. Just who those experts are won’t be provided to the SLO County District Attorney’s Office. On Feb. 7, SLO County Superior Court Judge Dodie Harmon granted a request from one of Flores’ attorneys, William McLennan, to allow confidential jail visits between Flores and unnamed defense experts. The order stated that those experts will be able to meet with Flores at the jail and will be allowed to bring a computer and cellphone. The order also requires the SLO County Jail to implement procedures to maintain the confidentiality of the visits and prohibits jail staff from revealing the experts’ identities or even the dates and times of the visits to any members of the prosecution or its investigative team. “It is essential for the proper representation of the defendant that is consistent with his Sixth Amendment rights that his visits with defense experts be confidential and the identity of those experts not be disclosed to the prosecution team, including the investigating agency in the case, the [SLO County] Sheriff’s Office,” McLennan wrote in his motion. In his request to the court, McLennan noted that such confidential procedures were approved in other highprofile capital murder cases, including the prosecution of murderer Rex Krebs, who received the death penalty after being convicted in 2001 of abducting and killing two young women in SLO County. McLennan represented Krebs in that case. McLennan’s motion is yet another indication that the case against Flores could be a capital one, which means the SLO County District Attorney’s Office could seek a sentence of life without parole or the death penalty against Flores should he be convicted. As of Feb. 13, the DA’s Office had not made any public announcements of what punishment it would seek in the case against Flores. Flores, who was reportedly working as a housepainter on Woodrum’s property, was arrested for her murder shortly after he allegedly led Sheriff’s investigators to her body at a remote spot near Highway 58 in December 2018. At the time, Woodrum had been missing for more than seven months. Flores is facing a charge of premeditated murder with two special circumstances alleging that he committed the murder while in commission of a rape and residential burglary. Flores pleaded not guilty to the murder charge in early January. —Chris McGuinness

Third Cal Poly frat this school year gets suspended

Cal Poly’s Kappa Sigma fraternity chapter was placed on suspension and probation for hazing its pledges with push-ups. Cynthia Lambert, the university’s communications specialist, said the university found the fraternity engaged in hazing activities, and in separate incidents, the chapter held events during its pledging process where minors had access to alcohol. The hazing that occurred, Lambert said, did not involve alcohol but did violate the university’s policy forbidding hazing activities. “The hazing in this case involved quizzing pledges on fraternity history and requiring push-ups as punishment for incorrect answers,” she said. The fraternity is suspended through the spring 2019 quarter and placed on probation through spring 2020 after a university investigation determined that the chapter had engaged in hazing its pledge members. In addition to the suspension and probation terms, Lambert said the chapter is required to abide by any sanctions issued by its national headquarters. The chapter’s leadership is also required to complete educational training on risk management. New Times reached out to Kappa Sigma, but the fraternity declined to comment.

The Tau Kappa Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau fraternities are on probation through fall quarter 2019 for providing alcohol to minors at parties. Last year, the university placed all 27 of its Interfraternity and Panhellenic Council organizations, on interim suspension amid a series of racist and offensive Greek incidents. The incidents included a Lambda Chi Alpha member wearing blackface at a fraternity event; three Signma Nu brothers dressed as gang members; and a photo of a student wearing blackface, mocking the fi rst incident, posted on a fraternity Snapchat thread. The interim suspension was administered with the intention of giving Greek organizations the opportunity to examine themselves and develop specific educational plans explaining how they will make diversity and inclusion a fundamental part of Greek life, according to university officials. On Sept. 6, 2018, the university announced that it had lifted the interim suspension—with the exception of Lamdba Chi Alpha, which will be on probation until spring 2019. Cal Poly has revoked its recognition of eight Greek organizations in the last several years: Delta Tau, Kappa Chi, Sigma Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Lambda Phi Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Phi, and Alpha Gamma Omega.

Enough to go around Los Osos CSD worries that its sewer plant doesn’t have enough water for farmers

t the beginning of 2018, the Los Osos Wastewater Reclamation Facility was finally able to connect and provide service to 95 percent of the Community Services District’s customers. After overcoming that first hurdle of getting the facility up and running, the Los Osos Community Services District (CSD) is facing a new challenge—having enough recycled water to supply the community and other entities. Chuck Cesena, the Los Osos Community Services District vice president, said he is concerned that the facility’s current water flows aren’t enough for the community and four incoming farmers. He sees that the district may need to end its deal with the farmers in order to best serve the rest of its customers. One of the conditions for the reclamation facility’s approval was that at least 10 percent of the total available recycled water go to an agricultural exchange program with farmers in the area to provide recycled water to new crops not currently irrigated. Contracts in place with four local farmers allow for the sale of up to 81 acre-feet of recycled water per year, approximately 16 percent of total water available from the facility, for $100 per acre-foot. “It’s a reasonable program if you have a lot of water, and at the time, we thought we had more,” Cesena said of initial plans. In 2017, the Los Osos Basin Management Committee drafted a report on the recycled water management plan. The report stated that due to water conservation efforts and drought restrictions over the past five years, there was a significantly lower flow of effluent moving into the facility than was anticipated in 2012. In October 2017, the report stated, flows to the plant were about 43 acre-feet per day, the equivalent of 506 acre-feet per year. According to the report the average annual volume of water flow would be between 500 and 550 acre-feet per year. That’s half of what was anticipated. Ron Munds, the utilities division manager for the county, said that the county has currently paused everything with the recycled water program regarding the farmers’ contracts—except for one. He said one farmer has come forward to receive their recycled water. Legally, the other two farmers have the right to come forward and say they would like to be hooked up to the facility, as well. But, for now, Munds said that staff hasn’t heard from them. “What we’re planning on doing is, because we want to be respectful and responsive to the community, our plan

is to take something back to the Board of Supervisors … that will reaffirm the direction we are taking or sends us in a different direction,” he said. County staff currently doesn’t have a date set for when the item will appear before the Board of Supervisors. Cesena said that the whole idea behind the facility was that reclaimed water could replace some potable water uses so that water could remain in the groundwater basin to mitigate seawater intrusion. “We’re not trading or offsetting any kind of saltwater mitigation value [with farmers], so there’s no value in having this program other than it complies with the permits and we’ve spent on the infrastructure for it,” he said. In order to get approval for the reclamation facility’s coastal development permit, the California Coastal Commission required that all of its recycled water get reinvested locally. The permit was granted in 2010, and two years later, the district prepared a recycled water management plan. It identified the quantity of water that would be available when the facility was finally ready for use. At the time, the district believed that the facility would produce 748 acre-feet of recycled water per year— keeping in mind the current developed properties connected to the facility. In an effort to give back, the facility planned to deliver recycled water to schools—Los Osos Middle School, Monarch Grove Elementary School, Baywood Elementary School, and Sunnyside Elementary—the community park, and the Sea Pines Golf Course. The water would also be sent to two leach fields, where recycled water would seep into the underground basin’s upper and lower aquifers, in the hopes of maintaining water levels. In order to satisfy the requirement about recycled water going to local farmers, San Luis Obispo County entered into recycled water contracts with four landowners who either had no existing wells or had poor groundwater conditions. Cesena wasn’t involved with setting up the contracts with the farmers, but he said he does see that there may have been some business investments that were made with the understanding that water was going to be delivered. Still, he said, he would rather talk with SLO County, the California Coastal Commission, and the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board to eliminate the ag exchange program altogether. Before recycled water should be invested in farmers, Cesena said, it should be given to the homes within the community. “It seems like that’s where the allegiance should go if we’re going to decide where the best use of the water is,” he said. “I don’t want to be unsympathetic to people who have spent on this investment.” ∆ Staff writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

UNIQUE FEMININE CLOTHING FOR WOMEN JUST LIKE YOU!

BY PETER JOHNSON

Clean cruisin’ A t the start, Steven Ploog and Nathan Stuart of Paso Robles were just looking for their next adventure to take as friends. In the process, they found a new career calling. Ploog and Stuart got the initial idea two years ago to find and fix up two old Toyota Landcruisers and drive them all the way to Panama together on vegetable oil. “We decided, let’s try to do the entire trip carbon neutral,” Ploog told New Times. “We thought we’d do it by using vegetable oil at first. But that’s a huge pain in the ass, so we decided to use biodiesel.” Ploog and Stuart scoured the market for a specific diesel model of the Landcruiser—a 40 Series that was never sold in the U.S. They got lucky and found one for sale in Cayucos. The other required a train ride up to Oregon to fetch. “They were rust buckets, man,” Ploog said of the old cars. With cruisers in hand, the creative partners (who previously played in a band together) decided to start filming their progress working with them in the shop, which included installing new biodiesel engines. That sparked a much bigger idea for the trip. “We wanted to just document the restoration process of the vehicles, for ourselves mainly,” Ploog explained. “But then we started realizing we could use it as a tool to reach more people and influence them to be a little bit more conscious of the environment and promote conservation efforts all around the world.” With that, the Clean Cruiser Project—now an official nonprofit organization—was born. Ploog and Stuart’s vision is to produce a film series this May that will chronicle their road trip to Panama while showcasing eight conservation projects in Central America. Included among those is a reforestation project in northern Guatemala managed by the Rainforest Alliance and a tree planting and regenerative agriculture venture near Leon, Nicaragua. “Each episode will focus on a conservation effort,” Ploog said. “We’ll just go there and interview and let the site tell its story, let the people who work that site tell its story, and hopefully draw some attention to some good works being

done. ... We’ll inject a little bit of comedy here and there, and the vehicles will be the entities that get us there.” Once Ploog and Stuart got the ball rolling on the idea, they started receiving some much-needed sponsorship support. They connected with the National Biodiesel Board, Tread Lightly, C.F. Martin Guitar, and Cummins Engines, which donated the two biodiesel engines for the Landcruisers. “They’re super efficient,” Ploog said. “We’re using 80 percent renewable biodiesel and 20 percent straight biodiesel. It brings our carbon footprint down 80 percent. We’re basically as clean as a Prius.” In order to completely offset their carbon footprint for the trip, they’ll need to plant about 200 trees in Central America. The duo plans to go even further and plant 10,000 by trip’s end. Ploog and Stuart have gone all-in on the Clean Cruiser Project, investing tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket to get it off the ground. They’ll need the financial support of the San Luis Obispo County community to help carry it to the finish line. “We are in this deep,” Ploog said. “We’re hoping to turn this into a full-time job for us, where we are constantly going out and promoting conservation efforts.” For the two friends, the project represents a creative way to combine cars, adventure, and conservation. “Of course, we have to get past the combustion engine, but it’s not here yet,” Ploog said. “Even when you look at electric [cars], we still have issues. For now we all can figure out how to do our parts to offset our carbon emissions.”

BY APRIL LEWALLEN

The biggest problem A wage debate An open letter to the city of San Luis Obispo

or many years, we’ve been trying hard to help the San Luis Obispo City Council understand the horrific conditions of the thousands of people in SLO who have no housing and live on our streets—especially the women, children and veterans. We try to explain that everyone needs income to get housing—even subsidized housing. We worked to explain that not everyone can get Supplemental Security Income or State Disability Insurance or Veterans Affairs benefits, even though they may be in need and eligible. We have made personal appearances at city council meetings, hosted presentations on tiny-home villages, given 88 talks, and written numerous emails citing what other cities are doing to help unhoused people; advised what the laws are (and are not). We took you to the creek, Mayor Heidi Harmon. We hoped it would have an impact. We tried to get you to abolish the ordinance of ticketing unhoused people for sleeping outside, since this is where they are forced to be, many through no fault of their own. Sleep is their civil and human right. To deprive someone is no less than torture. Now, thanks to a compassionate judge in Idaho, sleeping in public places is no longer illegal. We asked why law enforcement was forcing our unhoused neighbors to leave city parks when a social event of yours was happening.

HODIN

Please don’t believe for a moment that we’ve reduced homelessness in our area; there weren’t enough volunteers to cover all areas during the Point In Time Count of two years ago. And please don’t think many of our unhoused people here are out-of-towners. That’s a huge misnomer. When City Hall can’t even call homelessness a priority, why would anyone seeking help want to come? (We keep stats at showers, most of our guests are local home-grown folks born and raised right here in SLO County.) We believe you care—and we thank you for legalizing tiny homes on wheels in backyards. This, however, won’t help many (if any) of our unhoused folks. Please know that homelessness is this city’s biggest problem. Potlucks, coffee chats, and newsletters won’t solve the problem. No, many unhoused people don’t vote, pay taxes, or show up at council meetings. They have little if any income, and aren’t any help to politicians. It breaks my heart that we didn’t hear the word “homelessness” once during midterm elections, and certainly not from the federal government. We explained to you all that when we open our model sustainable community village, we’ll get 50-plus more chronically unhoused people (who have little or no income) off the streets and into tiny safe and warm cabins on wheels. We’ll save the taxpayers $2 million on an annual basis. And this village will serve as a model for the rest of our county, state, and nation to follow.

The discussion about sub-minimum wage is politically charged and complex

hank you for highlighting the complex issue of the employment needs of adults with developmental disabilities in your cover story (“Equal chances,” Feb. 7). PathPoint has been helping low-income people prepare for and obtain jobs for more than 50 years and currently supports nearly 2,000 people with developmental disabilities in five counties, including San Luis Obispo. We are pleased that New Times highlighted Ashley Romero, an intern through PathPoint working at Cuesta College. The article also highlighted a person with concerns about us and we are working diligently to address those concerns. We appreciate and value anyone who comes forward with ways that we can improve our services. The issue of sub-minimum wage is complex and highly charged. Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which passed in 1938, allows employers to obtain certificates from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to compensate workers with significant disabilities via a special minimum wage. The special minimum wage may be below the federal minimum wage but must be commensurate with the worker’s measured productivity and the job’s prevailing wage. PathPoint

is a 14(c) certificate holder and has applied to DOL for the renewal of this certificate, though at the time of the article DOL had not yet reviewed PathPoint’s renewal application. Federal law allows existing 14(c) certificates to remain in effect during the renewal period, so PathPoint is fully compliant. Many 14(c) certificate holders across America operate “workshops” and some do pay very low, as stated in the New Times article. PathPoint has never operated a workshop, and rather operates small crews of people who work at the location of local businesses. These businesses pay PathPoint as an intermediary and PathPoint pays the wages to the individual workers. PathPoint is working diligently to move each of these businesses to pay at least minimum wage for the employees. However, the reality is that some individuals are not able to work at the productivity rate of a neurotypical person and would lose their job if a sub-minimum wage position was not available. This is the crux of the debate on section 14(c). Are we treating people unfairly by paying a low wage or are we taking away choices and options by removing the opportunity to work for someone who could not get a minimum wage job? There are national organizations and elected officials who are passionate advocates on each side of this debate. PathPoint takes a pragmatic middle ground; let’s move WAGE continued page 12

Opinion PROBLEM from page 10

We often hear about infrastructure. We have no infrastructure with so many people downtown begging for food or sleeping in the corridors in the early morning hours, trying to stay warm and dry. (Downtown SLO is beginning to look like San Francisco.) Or our hundreds of people living along the creek trying to get a little bit of privacy, with rats chewing at their tents, if they are lucky enough have tents. Imagine our surprise and dismay to learn that our unhoused people are not a priority of City Hall. Their basic human needs aren’t as important as bike baths, enormous new hotels downtown with pools on the roof, or plastic straws. How long do you think it’ll take tourists to figure this out, too? It’s a slap in the face to those who work so hard at reducing homelessness in our town, to those of us who constantly go to encampments passing out sleeping bags, tents, tarps, and food—in the rain—listening to their stories, trying to offer “hope.” To volunteers who are now picking up trash on the Bob Jones Trail because the city won’t. Volunteers who offer showers, clean clothes, and “hope” to our folks who can’t go elsewhere to get clean, since SLO has no public showers and never has. Doing the city’s job on our dime and our time. A fellow homeless advocate recently told me that he sees some of the same people living down by the creek today who he saw there 16 years ago when he began doing outreach. We can’t even shelter people properly, let alone house them. It’s been said that City Hall isn’t representing or serving the people, but their own priorities. And I take issue with that. Please. We are counting on you to do your job. Represent all the people of SLO. ∆ Becky Jorgeson is the founder of Hope’s Village SLO.

It’s hard to admit we’re stupid

I would like to thank Ms. Riedmann for her excellent letter “On being open minded” (Feb. 7). Her concise yet accurate description of cognitive dissonance demonstrates the reason people frequently commit acts or hold beliefs that are not only not in their best interest, but can actually cause harm to the very things they care about and believe in. In less academic circles, the process is often referred to as human stupidity. For example, it can cause people to repeatedly vote for the same inept and corrupt politicians, ignore all their faults, and cling to false hopes that their lies are true. The real reason is that people just cannot admit to being wrong. Such is the power of cognitive dissonance. Mark Henry San Luis Obispo

So many questions about Russia and Trump

Vladimir Putin’s goal is to weaken the United States by using President Donald Trump. In order to propel Trump into the White House, Russian hackers infiltrated United States political organizations. The Kremlin used sensitive information to undermine Hillary Clinton. In addition, Russian hackers used American social media to influence the American electorate to vote for Trump. This raises the question. Why Trump? The Russian dictator possibly has information that could severely damage Trump. It is clear that Trump and several team members, five of whom have been indicted, have ties to several influential Russian elitists. In addition, Trump’s goal is to extend his commercial empire to Russia. Does Trump owe tens of millions of dollars to Kremlin banks and Russian oligarchs? Does he have something to conceal? When one pieces the puzzle together, a vivid picture emerges of the Trump-Putin relationship. Why did Trump yank the Russian incursion of Ukraine plank out of the 2016 GOP platform? Why does Trump continue to refuse to chastise Putin? Why does Trump threaten to pull out of NATO under the pretext that its members do not pay their fair share? Why did Trump announce that ISIS LETTERS continued page 15

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

Green unicorns

his week the progressive Democrats can’t wait to jump on the “extreme green” train to the land of lollipops, popsicles, and unicorns as they actually drag the nation down to the depths of environmental hell. The “Green New Deal” touted by progressive Democrats calls for the elimination of fossil fuels by 2030 and 70 percent tax rates. It’s the blueprint for a socialist takeover of the national economy, elimination of personal freedom, and becoming a Third World economy. In every command economy (read socialist), the state runs every industry, usually badly, as the citizens are soaked for every tax dollar the taxman can wring out of them. The Democrats, (all their presidential candidates to date) have endorsed this economic sledgehammer that will be used to destroy the economy, the Constitution, and personal liberty. As usual, they hoist the bogeyman flag about the wealthy paying their fair share (the very top tiers of taxpayers pay half of the current taxes collected) and call for revisiting WWII tax rates of 70 to 90 percent. There aren’t enough millionaires, let alone billionaires, to pay for their agenda, so the middle class will also see much higher tax bills as will the working class in higher payroll taxes and skyrocketing prices for everything, particularly the essentials of life, like food, electricity, and anything requiring transport. They never

seem to learn that high tax rates result in lower tax revenues collected as money turned over to the government doesn’t produce wealth, only a sluggish economy. It takes the energy and innovation of free enterprise to create wealth on a large scale, which President Kennedy proved when he first proposed reducing tax rates from 90 percent to 70 percent, which in turn were halved by succeeding administrations. The result for Kennedy/ Johnson in the 1960s was an economic boom, followed by Reagan, Clinton, and Trump’s tax cuts, all producing similar economic results. The more money remaining in taxpayer pockets, the more economic wealth is created, along with jobs and a better economic future. The millionaires and billionaires currently pay the overwhelming proportion of taxes; the bottom half pays nothing at all. The Green New Deal is a sham that would cost trillions of dollars on the premise that we face a climate crisis posing as an existential threat to humanity. The crisis isn’t severe enough to warrant a crash program to use up-todate nuclear power systems to eliminate the “threat” of greenhouse gas emissions, nor large hydroelectric projects, both of which emit no CO2. Objections to nuclear power assume current reactor designs haven’t advanced beyond that of Diablo Canyon using 1960s design technology. That’s like assuming a 747 hasn’t advanced beyond the design parameters

LETTERS from page 12

to mind some speculation on what the lives of these children will be like in 10 or 20 years. Here is just one possible scenario. After being torn apart from their families and sent to camps where they are put in cages with Mylar blankets and improper health and emotional care, would it be any surprise that a number of these kids would form a deep and abiding hatred for this country and be prime targets for recruitment by gangs and terrorist organizations? Is our government creating a culture of resentment and animosity strong enough to increase the possibility of future acts of violence by the kids in response to the cruel treatment they received at the hands of the so-called patriots whose establishment of the zero-tolerance policy led to this potential nightmare? Is MS-13 ready to recruit these lost souls? This is another legacy that will survive the era of Trump and throw our country into future chaos. Larry Schiffer Paso Robles

had been defeated and that United States troops would be withdrawn? That left Russia alone in Syria. Why did Trump announce that he would terminate the 1987 IntermediateRange Nuclear Force Treaty? Western missiles would no longer be pointed at Russia. Why did Trump refuse to have a notetaker and translator present each time when he met with Putin? Why did Trump grab the transcript from the Russian translator? This is neither a Republican nor a Democratic issue. It is an American issue. Putin is emerging the winner. He is using Trump to isolate the United States from its allies. James Huchthausen Cambria

How to train a terrorist With the full admission of departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, and the seeming unwillingness of those agencies to make a fulsome attempt to reunite the thousands of children taken forcefully from their parents when they came to this country seeking asylum, one has to wonder what the future of these children’s lives would look like. When we hear from psychologists and community activists on the subject of youth disenfranchisement, it brings

of a WWI biplane. Nuclear reactor designs are light years beyond current reactors in operation. What stops them is political will, not technology. Meanwhile, California is insisting that Oregon dismantle two large hydroelectric dams providing clean power to Californians, for the benefit of local fish. The underlying assumptions of the climate crisis are based not upon real-world observations but hundreds of (government sponsored) computergenerated climate models, none of which have yet reproduced actually observed (historically documented) climate when programed to do so. They exaggerate the rate and speed of temperature rise. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN organization promoting climate fear, 100 percent elimination of America’s CO2 emissions would reduce global warming by only 0.137 degrees by the year 2100. A global effort, eliminating all of industrialized Europe’s emissions increases this reduction to only 0.278 degrees by 2100. The economies of both America and Europe, however, would be devastated. I know that these assertions will be met with “97 percent of all scientists agree that climate change is occurring and humans are responsible for most of it,” except that isn’t true either. This assertion is based upon a social scientist’s study of 928 papers and drawing the conclusion that 97 percent of scientists concur with the assertion of humans causing most of the observed warming that has occurred. Most of the papers don’t even address anthropogenic global

warming, according to Alex Epstein’s “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuel,” and less than 2 percent of the papers agreed with human-caused warming being a significant factor in climate change. According to “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism,” more than 10,000 papers have been written on the subject and fewer than 2 percent agree with humans being the primary cause of climate change. Unfortunately, the politicization of climate science is such that any scientist raising public objections risks peerisolation and very negative ramifications for their career, including loss of tenure or firing. The Green New Deal poses a definite threat to liberty and the national economy. Fossil fuels have elevated millions of people out of poverty, and the widespread use of natural gas has proven to be a clean, reliable, and cost-effective source of energy in America. The ramifications of eliminating fossil fuel use by 2030 would cripple our national defense, boost Russian oil revenues used to expand their military, and cripple ground and air transportation for Americans. Politicians promoting this agenda should be sent back to kindergarten and not allowed anywhere near places where serious people work. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

Opinion

The Shredder

Decorum deplorum

ou know how the SLO County Board of Supervisors is now collegial and respectful of each other? Yeah, well, that didn’t last long! On Feb. 5, their old habits reared their ugly heads in a dust-up courtesy of Tribune liberal columnist Tom Fulks’ recent opinion piece calling out SLO County Clerk-Recorder Tommy “JeetKune-Do-Your-Ass” Gong for alleged voter suppression! I know what you’re thinking! Didn’t conservative 4th District Supervisor Lynn “Suppress Jimmy’s Votes!” Compton try to sue Gong to stop counting votes in her and liberal Jimmy Paulding’s super-tight election while she was just barely ahead in the votes? Voter suppression? Au contraire! Sounds like Gong was determined to count every single vote, a very liberal thing to do. Now Fulks is attacking him?!? “The county clerk-recorder is refusing to implement a state law, SB 450, that allows counties to send vote-by-mail ballots, with postage-paid return, to every registered voter,” Fulks wrote. Yikes! That refusal sounds bad! “When I spoke to Gong on Wednesday, he told me he’ll get around to it in 2022, a full six years after the law was adopted,” Fulks continued. Wow, sounds even worse! Except Fulks didn’t mention SB 450 is currently optional, implementing it will be expensive and complex, and Gong studied its

feasibility for eight months. Gong’s now set to discuss all that work with the Board of Supervisors on Feb. 26. Also, anyone who requests it can already vote by mail, postage paid. Unclench, Fulksy, unclench! “Do we want to force everyone to vote by mail?” Gong asked in his Tribune rebuttal to Fulks, because SB 450 is all or nothing, people! Personally, I like going to my polling place on Election Day and filling out those little bubbles and adhering my little flag sticker to my shred button—but back to the Board of Supervisors. Predictably, 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill, picking up what Fulks had laid down, tried to grill Gong during the Feb. 5 meeting. Hill accused him of dismissing the law without “looking at how potentially you might be able to do this,” which is incorrect. As noted, Gong’s been trying to sort it out. Then board chair and 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold cut off Hill’s mic! Power move!! “Miss Arnold, please! What are you doing?” Hill pleaded. “This is not an agendized item,” Arnold countered. “County counsel has asked me to take a pause, and you are not respecting my request to take pause.” “This is not a Tea Party meeting,” Hill shot back. “I’m a colleague of yours.” Oh snap! Then, liberal 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson made a motion to agendize the SB 450 discussion, which Hill seconded, but the conservative

board majority voted it down. Then they called a five-minute recess so everyone could go unbunch their undies. Collegial indeed! Here’s the kicker! When they returned, conservative 1st District Supervisor John Peschong made the very same motion to agendize the SB 450 discussion that he and his conservative brethren just voted against! Hey, man, did you guys take a recess or violate the Brown Act, and Adam-baby, what about Robert’s Rules of Order and your new leaf to be a kinder, gentler bully? And finally, do you really want to mess with Gong? He’s got 30 years of martial arts instruction experience, wrote the book Bruce Lee: The Evolution of the Martial Artist, and studied under Ted Wong, one of a handful of instructors certified by Bruce Lee himself! Aiya! And speaking of what in the actual hell, did you hear Cal Poly suspended another fraternity for hazing? When will this Greek life madness stop? This time around Kappa Sigma found itself suspended until June 15, 2019. Both Tau Kappa Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau were recently placed on probation through the end of fall quarter, because they supplied minors with alcohol. What terrible hazing activities did Kappa Sigma engage in? Did they throw their pledges off the Pismo Pier in sleeping bags? Did they force pledges to

drink copious amounts of cheap alcohol? Did they force Kent Dorfman to borrow his brother’s car for a road trip to pick up girls and see Otis Day and the Knights? If only! No, the brothers of Kappa Sigma had the temerity, the unmitigated gall, to ask their pledges to answer questions about the fraternity’s history and then forced them to do push-ups if they answered incorrectly. The monsters! Those heartless bastards! Those … wait. What? Expecting pledges to know house history and to do some push-ups is hazing? Look, if Cal Poly wants to get rid of the Greek system— which, fine by me, too many drunks, rapists, and racists, in my opinion—OK, do it! But this suspension sounds pretty silly. Either that or my gym trainer, Todd, is guilty of hazing! Todd!!! And speaking of stupid, Paso Robles City Councilmember John Hamon is playing dumb about his conflict of interest regarding short-term rental policies. “I have no actual ownership or financial interest in any vacation rental properties,” Hamon told the council, even though he’s the trustee of a short-term rental property in his parents’ trust, and his wife, Marjorie, is listed as manager on the property’s Vacation Rentals by Owner (VRBO) website. Sir, you’re either not smart enough or too smart to be a council member. Hit the ground and give me 20! ∆ The Shredder could do with a bit more hazing.

Flower power Eden Floral utilizes local growers for bouquets, floral crowns, and other engaging arrangements

GENESIS Before starting Eden Floral, Rachael Manuele’s friends, as well as friends of her friends, would ask her to design flower arrangements for their weddings. PHOTOS COURTESY OF ALEXANDRA WALLACE

GARDEN OF EDEN Rachael Manuele (pictured) turned her passion for nature into a career with the creation of her fine art floral design company, Eden Floral.

love for nature and the great outdoors prompted Rachael Manuele, owner and founder of Eden Floral in SLO, to nurture a growing affinity for plants at a young age, one that would ultimately foreshadow her career as a fine art floral designer. “While my friends spent their money on clothes, home décor, cars, and whatnot, I spent my money on plants,” Manuele said. “I’ve always had a sense of awe, wonder, and deep appreciation of our natural world.” Born in Missouri, Manuele moved to California while still a child, but old enough to remember and miss the rolling green hills. She spent her youth and early adulthood admiring and foraging for the indigenous plant life that surrounded her. In her early 20s, Manuele took up both gardening and hiking as hobbies and found herself combining the two passions through floral art, coming home from a hike with a sprig of mountain sage and plopping it into a jar with some lavender and roses from her garden. “I was foraging long before I even knew what the word ‘foraging’ meant,” Manuele said. “I would bring bouquets to friends made up of my latest hiking adventure and whatever was blooming in my garden.” This era in Manuele’s life rolled into friends asking her to design their flower arrangements for bridal showers and weddings. Before long, friends of those friends, who had attended the showers and weddings, were contacting Manuele to seek her services.

It wasn’t until she began getting inquiries from people she didn’t know that Manuele decided to start an official floral design company. She wound up choosing a name synonymous with paradise. “The name Eden translates my love of the natural world as it is. It’s my tribute to this Earth and all that it gives to us,” Manuele said. “The resilience of our Earth is an inspiration to me.” Still a frequent hiker, Manuele prefers taking long hikes to find the perfect plant, whether it’s an acacia, button sage, eucalyptus, or wild filler, to ordering it from a wholesaler for her business. “It’s very hard for me to justify getting something delivered from a big truck when it’s something I can find in my own backyard,” Manuele said. “And a lot of times, our local finds have so much more character anyway.” But what really makes it possible for Eden Floral to claim that 90 percent of the flowers it uses are grown in

either SLO or Santa Barbara County, Manuele explained, is the company’s ongoing collaborations with local farms. “Our arrangements would not be the same without the unique and beautiful blooms we gather from our local growers,” Manuele said. “We owe these hardworking farmers all the gratitude we can muster. My philosophy is authenticity and a commitment to using locally foraged and grown goodies.” The collaborating growers include Farmermaid Flowers, Cory’s Cottage Garden, Oak Park Flower Farm, Eufloria Flowers, Skyline Flower Growers, and Gracie Rose Farm. “There are plenty of local greenhouse growers we use,” Manuele continued. “But we also source from smaller farms and farmers we’ve met at local farmers markets.” Through these collaborations, as well as supplements from Manuele’s own plot and hiking finds, Eden Floral creates bouquets, floral crowns, and other botanical arrangements for various services and events, including bridal showers and weddings. No matter what kind of arrangement it is though, the objective behind any of the company’s creations remains the same—get people talking. “We normally don’t have a recipe when creating, but there’s a general plan,” Manuele said. “Our goal is to create conversation pieces, to give you and your guests something special and really meaningful.” Δ Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood can be reached at cwiseblood@newtimesslo.com.

Love at first sip One woman serves up elegant boozy drinks at an affordable price at weddings or any event on the Central Coast

She’s the owner of Copper and Crystal, a bartending labor service. The difference between her business and other bartending services is that she supplies the people, but her clients supply the booze. She said her services are more aligned with the DIY side of wedding planning. “My clients can buy their own alcohol and make it as affordable as PHOTO COURTESY OF YVONNE GOLL PHOTOGRAPHY possible because aside from the venue, photographer, and coordinator, food and alcohol are pretty expensive,” Joslin said. It’s a lower price point for the bride and groom because Joslin focuses on the number of guests and the kinds of cocktails the couple wants to be served. Based on those factors and, of course, the couple’s budget, she can make TO YOUR LIKING Copper and Crystal is unique a grocery list for them to because its goal is to serve up unique drinks at an use when purchasing all the affordable cost to the bride and groom. alcohol that’s needed. eddings have so many details that are similar to puzzle pieces.

For Christina Joslin, it’s all about the booze.

CUSTOMIZED If you’re looking for a vintage vibe for your wedding, Christina Joslin has the hookup to serve your booze from a retro vehicle.

In that process, Joslin works with the couple to come up with signature cocktails to serve their guests. She has a hidden page on her website that, after a couple contracts her, she gives them access to. It’s a list of different cocktails for them to get ideas from. But she really encourages them to come up with a twist on their favorite drink. “We’ve done things with different flavors of Moscow mule. There’s obviously the standard mint, but you can add in

a raspberry or blueberry,” she said. “I always try to elevate it just a little bit.” Her bartending skills really come into play when she’s adding a bit of flair to make an ordinary cocktail special and personal. Joslin’s favorite cocktail is the tequila-based paloma. The drink is traditionally prepared by mixing tequila with grapefruit-flavored soda and serving it on the rocks with a lime wedge.

A point she always likes to make when collaborating with couples on making cocktail concoctions is time. “I think it’s important to have drinks that are fun and elevated, but I think it’s also important that they come out in a timely fashion,” she said. “I want to make sure that no one is waiting in line at a wedding, because we’ve all been there.” The Copper and Crystal venture was something that Joslin ran with after bartending for a few of her friends’ weddings. In 2010, she was the project manager for a local solar installation company and had a side hustle as a bartender. She worked at the old Pappy McGregor’s location on Monterey Street in San Luis Obispo. “I always had a second job; I’m kind of a workaholic,” Joslin said. Just before Pappy McGregor’s closed its SLO location, Joslin was using her bartending skills for more than just the restaurant setting. “The last couple of years of me being at Pappy’s, I had been asked quite a few times to bartend friends’ weddings and I realized how much fun it was,” she said. The restaurant’s closure was the push Joslin needed to start a business she’s always wanted. Copper and Crystal began as a

part-time partnership between Joslin and her friend, a fellow colleague at the solar company. But eventually Joslin realized she wanted to make this side business full-time. After an amicable split, she ventured out on her own in January 2018. Joslin has flourished within the wedding industry, between getting her name out there and growing the number of clients she books. She not only credits her former partner, the wedding industry community, and the long hours she puts into her business, but the bartenders who have been with her from the start. “I want my bartenders smiling, engaging in conversation, asking where attendees are from, when they got there, how they’re loving San Luis, and when the DJ or the band comes on, I want my bartenders dancing at the bar,” she said. “They’re creating an experience and a relationship, even if it’s only for one night.” At the end of the day, Joslin is just happy she’s doing something that she loves with the people she loves. People are always happy at weddings, she said, they really are beautiful days. Δ Staff Writer Karen Garcia is sipping her mojito at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Keep it green Some tips to throw a more environmentally friendly wedding

ere’s an important truth bomb to throw into our wedding issue: You and your partner’s special day is likely to generate a ton of trash. Well, maybe not a ton, but a lot. A single wedding with 100 to 120 guests typically creates between 400 and 600 pounds of waste, according to a Huffington Post article on the subject. Multiply that number by 2.5 million, the estimated number of weddings each year, then throw in all of the CO2 emitted from guests’ car and air travel, and we’ve got some real environmental impacts on our hands—just to say our “I dos.” Don’t take this as a Debbie Downer (OK, it kind of is) or a guilt trip. Weddings are definitely special, and if any event is worthy of a little collateral damage to the planet, it’s your wedding. But there are some tricks and techniques you can deploy to help reduce the environmental footprint. We got San Luis Obispo-based wedding planner Samantha Josette Ward to give us a few suggestions, and the internet also chipped in. Ward’s first tip: Just elope! Keep it

simple, intimate, cheap, and eco-friendly all at once. “It’s not a tradition, but it is on trend right now,” Ward told New Times. “Get married, take beautiful photos, and go out to dinner.” If a full shindig is your destiny, here are a few sustainable planning tips: Use recycled or biodegradable paper stationary for invitations. There are several companies, including Botanical PaperWorks and Of The Earth, that sell paper infused with seeds, so your guests can save the date and then literally plant their invitations! Also remember to shop locally for flowers, décor, and food. Finally, consider choosing an outdoor venue that can naturally dazzle without too much added stuff or lights. “Just pick a venue that is naturally beautiful—a garden, overlooking the ocean, in a vineyard—and does not require a lot of decor or flowers,” Ward said. For the big day, try to make each material choice recyclable, compostable, or otherwise sustainably minded. It could be the wedding dress, the food and booze, the silverware and glassware, the light source (candles vs. electricity), or the keepsake, like making the place cards the guest favor (or another neat idea found on theknot.com: give out seed packets to take

HAPPY PLANET, HAPPY COUPLE A single wedding typically generates between 400 and 600 pounds of trash. But there are some tips and tricks to lessening your big day’s environmental impact.

home). Ward also suggests repurposing the flowers and décor that get used for the ceremony, for the reception party. “I do this a lot in weddings,” she said. “While guests are enjoying cocktail hour, we do the shift. It saves budget as well, which is never a bad thing.” If there’s leftover food at the end of the night, donate it to a local food bank. Or at the very least, compost it! Another component of a wedding to make an environmental impact: the gift registry. Use the opportunity to research sustainably sourced products from

environmentally conscious companies that would love your business and also make for great wedding gifts. If you’re feeling super woke and generous, take it a step further: Create a list of your favorite nonprofits that guests can to donate to instead. While weddings will probably never be a net-positive for the environment, they don’t have to be a waste! Δ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson wishes New Times was printed on plantable paper.

Staying sentimental F

lowers? Check! Dress? Check! Cake? Check! Besides a venue, some invitations, and a few (OK, many) other details, I’d say we have ourselves the makings of a wedding! While the actual day-of inevitably flies by in a flash, every wedded couple wants special reminders of their bond beyond the rings. Dusting off the wedding album once a year is great, but with some clever ideas, experts who know the peaks and pitfalls, and plenty of opportunity to add your own flair, there isn’t just one right way to remember your big day. Flowers create the subtle detail and backdrop to a picture-perfect day, but what to do with something already on its way to death when you want it to last a lifetime? Pressed-botanical artist Sarah Presogna, proprietor of Ecobata on Etsy, offers a beautiful solution with her framed creations. She sees the beauty of the medium for many reasons, and while she doesn’t hold it above other preservations, she does favor the method. “The advantage of pressing the blooms is that they become a two-dimensional keepsake. When bouquets are preserved

in 3-D, you need shelf space to display them, they need to be dusted often, and there is not usually a way to protect them from light damage,” Presogna said. “With flat pressed flowers, they become a piece of framed art on your walls.” Many couples choose to include a wedding photo or vows, and even private jokes get incorporated. One thing she wants all those interested in having their flowers pressed to know: Plan ahead! “If you start looking into it after your wedding, you have very limited time to get them to the artist in the best shape. I will often get emails from brides who want to preserve their flowers but got married last week, or are just returning from their honeymoon. By then, it’s too late to press them,” Presogna said. A little planning is well worth it for an incredible and delicate reminder of your beautiful day. Asked what it is she loves the most about her unique line of work, Presogna said: “The thing I love more than anything is that I’m able to take these incredibly important symbols of someone’s wedding day and let them shine for a lifetime. I know the cost that goes into creating the perfect wedding, not just financially but emotionally as well. I was married myself last year, and I did not understand how much of yourself you put out there to organize a wedding until I went

combination of two things—a top, a skirt, shorty dressy shorts, a jacket, and a clutch— depending on how much fabric I had.” The reasoning behind her advice is both practical and sentimental: “Wear it in separates until it wears out, making the most of what you have for yourself, re-invent it for a vow renewal for you and your honey, or pass it down to a daughter, niece, or loved one and give her the opportunity to re-invent it— before-and-after pics are wonderful!” Leigh is no stranger to reinvention, tasked by an indecisive bride to revamp her mother’s straight-from-the-’80s wedding gown complete with over-the-top shoulder poof and 10-inch ruffles, she finally got to the heart of the matter—the bride really just wasn’t a dress wearer, so things she didn’t like came to mind much faster than those she did. “I had a heartto-heart with her, away from mom and friends and sisters,” Leigh said. “I asked, ‘What do you like clothes to feel like? What is the aesthetic you are going for? Do you like wearing things with movement or prefer the stiffness of corset?’” Ultimately, by eliminating what the bride didn’t like, the designer was able to create a picture of what she would look like on her big day—a scoop neck, sleeveless A-line with satin detailing at the neck and waistline. Not even a hint of the ’80s was left, but the bride still got to enjoy the sentiment of wearing her mom’s dress on her big day. Whether building a dress from the top down, reinventing an heirloom, or having your gown turned into something else, Leigh reminds brides that these things take time. “I need a month minimum to alter a dress, and at least three if I’m building a custom piece,” she said. The sewetician travels far and wide to find the best fabrics and has swatches sent in from New York. Only the best because, after all, this is a piece meant to last a lifetime, however you decide to preserve it.

The idea of cutting into the top tier of your wedding cake on the first anniversary of your vows is sentimental gold, but the practical reality of it can leave you with a stale mess of freezerburned regret. One option? Ask your bakery of choice if they will include a miniature replica of your cake top in the bid, fresh and ready for pickup on your anniversary. Fresh cake and a year’s worth of freezer space? Yes, please! If this isn’t an option, professional bakers recommend you make sure your cake is wrapped well in several layers of plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and stored in a tightly fitted box until the time comes to celebrate. Many catering companies and bakeries offer this as part of their services. Be sure to ask if you plan on preserving your cake for future celebration. No matter how you decide to remember your wedding day, take the cliché but truthful advice everyone offers—enjoy every minute, it’ll be over in the blink of an eye.

“All of my niggas is casket pretty/ Ain’t no one safe in this happy city/ I hope you make it home/ I hope to God that my tele’ don’t ring/ Niggas casket pretty/ Ain’t no one safe in this happy city/ I hope you make it home/I hope to God that my tele’ don’t ring.” The rap reflects the reality of Chicago’s notorious reputation for violence and the disproportionate brunt of that violence that falls on people of color. A lot of her lyrics examine the underbelly of American culture, such as

She began writing creatively as a high school sophomore, studied Def Poetry clips on YouTube, and soon attended open mics around the city, sharing her work, especially at Harold Washington Library—YouMedia’s Lyricist Loft. As a high school senior, she placed third in “Louder Than A Bomb,” a 120-school, Chicago-wide poetry competition. Her break into the music scene came when she lent a verse to Chance the Rapper’s 2013 track, “Lost.” In 2016 she released her first mix tape, Telefone, and she followed up last year with her first studio album, Room 25, which she self-released as a digital download. She’s been garnering gushing reviews from a wide variety of media, and Lauryn Hill tapped Noname to open for her on tour. Noname plays the Fremont on Wednesday, Feb. 20 (9 p.m.; 16-and-older; $33.17 at Boo Boo’s or fremontslo.com). Elton—who started as a member of Art of Cool, a multi-instrumentation jazz/hip hop group—opens the show. STARKEY continued page 43

Three Siren calls

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents have three solid shows teed up at The Siren this week, starting with excellent Led Zeppelin tribute act Led Zepagain on Friday, Feb. 15 (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $25 at the door). For the past 15 years, they’ve given Zep-hungry fans a taste of the famed rock band’s prime years, re-creating the band’s blues, psychedelic, folk, metal sound. Much of the band’s success is due to lead singer Swan Montgomery, who hails from Drogheda, Ireland, and captures Robert Plant’s signature vocals. Incredible New Orleans brass band The Soul Rebels play The Siren on Sunday, Feb. 17 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $17.50 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $20 at the door). They received national attention with their amazing Tiny Desk Concert as well as their appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. White Buffalo, who’s become a touring favorite in our area, returns to The Siren next Thursday, Feb. 21 (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $18 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $20 at the door). This big bear of a man—he calls himself “a big white motherfucker”—is an incredible storyteller in his music. “I’ve always loved the combination of things that are really beautiful and things that are really dark or heavy,” Jake Smith—singer, songwriter, guitarist, and sole charter member of the White Buffalo—said in press materials. “I hear all kinds of stories from people who say that the songs helped me get through stuff. I have all these veterans who’ve come up to me and said that the last album helped them through hard times. As a songwriter who’s trying to write stuff that hits people in a real way, it’s pretty powerful to hear that kind of thing.”

Love song delivery!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, local R&B artists Damon Castillo and Morgan Monroe have teamed up to record “No One Like You,” which will be officially released on Thursday, Feb. 14. Check Castillo’s webpage for info: damoncastillo.com. “Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and so it’s only fitting that I release my new single ‘No One Like You,’ a romantic R&B duet that features the impossibly lovely voice of Miss Morgan Monroe,” Castillo wrote in an email. “I heard her captivating tone about a year

LOVE ME DO Unfinished Business will play tribute on Feb. 16 in Mongo’s.

ago while we were sound-checking at the historic Fremont Theater and fell instantly in love with the sound of it. As soon as ‘we should do a song together’ left her lips, I retreated to Laurel Lane [Castillo’s recording studio] to write a tune enchanting enough to inspire lovers everywhere.” The song features drummer Sean Sullivan with Castillo adding sounds from “a Fender Mustang Bass strung up with flatwounds, a pair of Strat guitars, a Mellotron, and Wurlitzer 200A Electric Piano.” It’s a gorgeous song! “Lyrically, I wanted to capture that moment when love first hits,” Castillo added, “when you are both awakening to something and yet entering a dream.” Here are some of the lyrics: “When you talk to me, I hear music/ When I look at you, I see art/ Want you to know me, don’t want to lose this/ This sweet hurting in my heart/ There’s no one like you.” Castillo recommends you “put the song on, look into the eyes of your love, then slow dance on the kitchen floor like you mean it.” Damon Castillo plays a postValentine’s Day show at Bang the Drum on Friday, Feb. 15 (7 p.m.; all ages). Feed My Seoul, a Korean-style barbecue food truck, will be on hand. No word on whether Monroe might show for a duet.

The SLO County Jazz Federation presents NYC-based jazz pianist Emmet Cohen and his trio in concert on Tuesday, Feb. 19, in the Unity Concert Hall.

The always fun (and weird) metal mariachi band Metalachi plays the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Friday, Feb. 15 (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $20 at Boo Boo’s and slobrew.com). If you like mariachi versions of classic metal songs played by costumed rock stars, this is your show!

Library foundation raises funds to buy gravestone for SLO’s first librarian

The Foundation for SLO County Public Libraries has started a GoFundMe campaign to purchase a gravestone for the city of SLO’s first librarian, Frances Margaret Milne, who currently lies in an unmarked grave at the San Luis Cemetery. “We don’t know why she doesn’t have a headstone,” Sharon Coronado, the library adult services coordinator, said in a press release. “Milne made a name for herself in this community as the city librarian and in the literary world, as a poet and writer.” Milne became SLO’s first librarian after immigrating to the U.S. from Ireland in the mid-1800s. She held the post for 11 years. Among her published works, her book of poetry, For to-day, remains the most notable. The GoFundMe campaign has a fundraising goal of $1,500 to cover the gravestone, installation, and flowers for a dedication ceremony to honor Milne. The foundation hopes to hold the ceremony in April, the anniversary month of Milne’s death, or June, the month of her birth. “Part of our job [as librarians] is to preserve the past for future generations,” Coronado said. “We are fundraising for Milne’s gravestone in order to contribute to preserving her legacy.” Visit the Library Foundation’s GoFundMe page to donate or learn more.

Once in a lifetime Million Dollar Quartet brings rock ’n’ roll greats back to life

veryone wants to rave about triple threats. But really, a solid double threat—a performer who can really act and sing—has my attention. And on opening night of the San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre’s production of Million Dollar Quartet on Feb. 8, the performers struck a perfect balance between theater and live concert, as they belted out hits like “Blue Suede Shoes” and “Hound Dog” while weaving a narrative about a moment in time when four rock ’n’ roll greats came together for the first and last time. The entire show takes place in just one room: a recording studio at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee. But with the chemistry and combined musical talents of the cast, one room is all that’s needed. The set is a 1950s throwback, complete with a black and white checkered floor, platinum records on the walls, and a tiny sound booth in the back. It’s 1956 and Sun Records owner Sam Phillips (Ben Abbott, Annie!) is recording a new album for rockabilly star Carl Perkins (Chicago-based actor Christopher Wren, who has tackled the role in previous stagings of the show; he also doubles as musical director), who is appropriately wearing blue suede shoes, while his newest star, Jerry Lee Lewis (Jared Freiburg, also reprising his role), plays piano on the session. It’s also time for Phillips’ other marquee artist, Johnny Cash (Las Vegas-based actor Cole, another repeat actor with the show and the youngest artist ever inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame), to renew his contract—but he’s nowhere to be found. Then, out of the blue, who should show up but Phillips’ first big star: the one and only Elvis Presley (Sacramento-based actor Sam Jones), who’s accompanied by his fictionalized girlfriend, Las Vegas singer Dyanne

JAM SESSION The musical Million Dollar Quartet spins a yarn out of the night in 1956 when Sun Records owner Sam Phillips (Ben Abbott, far right) got to see four of his greatest musicians—Jerry Lee Lewis (Jared Freiburg), Carl Perkins (Christopher Wren), Elvis Presley (Sam Jones), and Johnny Cash (Cole), left to right—all jam in one room.

Aside from the euphoric high the concert aspect of the show brings, Million Dollar Quartet also hints at the betrayal and tension among the group and the future sadness yet to come, from Elvis performing Perkins’ “Blue Suede Shoes” on TV and falsely getting the credit for writing it, to Dyanne urging Phillips to take a job working for RC Records because Elvis “needs someone on his side.” Abbott in particular plays Phillips as a man who is rightly amazed at the music empire he built from nothing but equally confused that his best musicians have slipped out of his hands. An innate sweetness comes through in Abbott’s version of Phillips that takes away whatever sting the real man must have felt after the last song ended in that small studio in December 1956. ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley would like a little less talk and a lot more action.

eviticus Sullivan is an awardwinning painter, but he’s only been painting for a few months, with just one hand. The 32-year-old artist has cerebral palsy and is used to playing—and winning—his favorite video games, like Soul Calibur VI, but it wasn’t until his grandmother, former president of the Paso Robles Art Association Page Graeber, suggested he look into another creative outlet that he gave painting a try. His first painting, Identity Krisis, won second place in his debut show. Both Graeber’s and Sullivan’s work is currently on display at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles as part of the Heart of the Matter show. The exhibit focuses on the vision, creativity, soul, and core behind the art. “I told Levi, ‘You have such a good imagination, On view why don’t you come to art The Heart of the Matter art show, featuring work by Leviticus Sullivan, Page Graeber, and others, will be on club and put it on paper?’” display at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles through Graeber said. Feb. 27. Visit studiosonthepark.org for more information. While Sullivan is new to painting, he isn’t new to the creative process. As a member of the Adventure Club in San Luis Obispo, which brings together adults with learning, developmental, and physical disabilities, Sullivan regularly works as an actor and behind the scenes on the group’s movie projects. He’s also drawn in pen and ink for most of his life, depicting fantasy and science elements like dragons and how they breathe fire. In his art lessons with his grandmother, the two focus on techniques like design, color, composition, and shading and then work quietly together on their own pieces. Sullivan’s Identity Krisis started out as a pen and ink piece that he later added acrylic paints to. The piece features three figures: In the center is Sullivan, to the left is his guardian angel, and to the right is an imaginary friend. “For me the Heart of the Matter kind of pulls me in different directions,” Sullivan said. “I don’t know if I should be feeling one way or the other.” Graeber’s abstract collage piece, Balance of Life, features three colorful scenes to show the different seasons that people go through. “I think everyone has a balance in their life,” Graeber said. “Sometimes they get off balance and need to be centered. Sometimes they need to try new things and find they can do it.” Sullivan describes his work as a mixture of who he’s been, who he’s going to be, and a little pain. He hopes his art will cause viewers to take a beat and consider what’s before them. “I want people to think,” Sullivan said. “I want people to see that there’s something beneath all of that, like science under the magic.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley loves love.

director so bold as to remake a movie in another language would have a pretty solid piece of work. If this film had risen to the level of Fargo, I would have no question why it was remade, but unfortunately this one just falls flat for me. The villain Viking is evil enough, but in a pretentiously obnoxious way. I mostly wanted him taken out just to get him off the screen. His minions hint at backstories here and there, but all in all there’s little to care about on that side of the equation other than his whip-smart son. Nels is a fine hero, if not a bit unbelievable.

When the kid doesn’t want to complication, Viking has a son, Ryan return to school because he was bullied, (Nicholas Holmes), with his feisty ex-wife, his father asks him if he read Lord of the Aya (Julia Jones).

About “All the answers you’ll ever need are in the only local law enforcement that seems that book,” Viking tells his son. In short, to care about what’s going on is Kim Viking is an idiot, and Ryan is smart Dash (Emmy Rossum), a rookie cop in enough to see it. The kid was in many the Kehoe Police Department. All these ways the best part of this story, but not characters are headed for a showdown enough to save the film from mediocrity. that’s not quite worth the wait. As Nels piles up the corpses, the screen is Anna Cold Pursuit works hard to be a memorable out-of-the-box film but unfortunately lacks any elements that transcend its mediocre action revenge category. Neeson is a shoe-in for Nels, the man of few words with a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He’s got a simple life—a solitary albeit boring line of work, a wife and son who think he’s swell, and a cabin on top of the snowy hills of Kehoe. The town has an interesting vibe, both catering to the out-of-town skiers that flood in when conditions are good and townies who suffer the weather when MANO A MANO Drug dealer Viking (Tom Bateman, it’s abysmal.

ans Petter Moland directs this action thriller about snowplow driver Nels Coxman (Liam Neeson), who’s out for revenge against the drug dealers who killed his son. This remake is based on Moland’s 2014 Norwegian film, Kraftidioten (In Order of Disappearance). (118 min.) Glen This is a film that really wants to embody the black comedy vibe of the Coen brothers’ Fargo (1996), with its glib tone, comic violence, and frigid locale. Unfortunately, it misses the mark. Nels is a man of few words. In fact, when he comes home to have dinner with his wife, Grace (Laura Dern), she says, “You know you’re going to have to say a few words tonight, right?” He replies, “How many?” We think she means to her at dinner, but Nels is being honored that evening as Citizen of the Year in his small skiing community of Kehoe, where he keeps traffic flowing as the sole snowplow operator. His son, Kyle (Micháel Richardson), is a baggage handler at the local airport, and he unwittingly becomes the target of a drug ring thanks to a workmate who’s been running cocaine. Kyle is found dead in nearby Denver of a supposed heroin overdose, but we know the truth. He was picked up by Speedo (Michael Eklund) and Limbo (Bradley Stryker), two of drug kingpin Trevor “Viking” Calcote’s (Tom Bateman) henchmen, who murdered him. Once Nels

Where’s it showing? Wednesday, Feb. 20, 4 p.m., in Cal Poly’s ATL/Keck Lab (building 7, room 2); free Writer-director Abby Ginzberg helms this documentary about Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, which interned Japanese Americans in prison camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor. All told, 120,000 American citizens were incarcerated due to their ethnicity. Using archival footage as well as a trove of rediscovered Dorothea Lange photographs, the film is a stark reminder of this dark time in American history. It’s narrated by Star Trek actor George Takei, who was also interned in the camps. A Q-and-A with Dr. Satsuki Ina, who’s featured in the film and was born in the Tule Lake Internment Camp, will follow the screening. (40 min. plus Q-and-A) —Glen

filled with a placard with the character’s name and symbol of his religion, and the placards come quickly. The original film’s name translates to “In Order of Disappearance,” and the closing credits list the actors in the order of their deaths. It’s all meant to be winking and cute, and, like Fargo, there’s even a version of the body-in-the-wood-chipper scene. But try as it might, Cold Pursuit is Fargolite at best. Some of its humor is pretty groan inducing. When the Native American drug dealers arrive at the fancy ski resort without a hotel reservation, the desk clerk explains how she can’t accommodate them because hotel is full, leading to a mix-up between hotel and Indian “reservation.” Ha ha! Equivocation humor. The film’s not a total waste of time. If I’d stumbled across it on Netflix, I’d have been happy to watch it, but not even the mighty Neeson made Cold Pursuit feel theater-pricesworthy. Stream this one. Anna It probably serves its audience better in that capacity than in a dark theater where all focus is put on the screen and thus the storyline, character arcs, etc. I would have been perfectly happy with this playing in the background while I worked on some knitting and sipped a cocktail comfily on my couch. Then it’s just Neeson doing his badass thing and a cute kid carrying the story along, and I can be distracted enough to not care that it’s less than good. Unfortunately, Cold Pursuit just didn’t do it for me, and scenes like the “reservation” hotel bit were downright groan worthy. There was a little fun to be had watching drug pushers having snowball fights and Nels reading from a snow plow catalogue to put Ryan to bed, but the enjoyment was slight and strung sparsely through the film.

One thing becomes abundantly clear: Like the inmates, Tilly, Lyle, and escort guard Gene are as much prisoners in their jobs as the inmates, and in Tilly and Gene’s case, they make the terrible mistake of befriending Richard and David. Gene is wowed by Richard’s artistic abilities and trades him favors for paintings. The film and its setting is hard, cold, muted, and oppressive, and after the inmates escape by painstakingly sawing through steal walls, steam pipes, and more, the outside world is no more forgiving as they try to make their way to the Canadian border. It’s a harrowing tale of desperate people—both the literally imprisoned and those metaphorically imprisoned by their dead-end lives. Arquette, who won Best Actress at the ninth Critics’ Choice Television Awards as well as a Best Performance by an Actress Golden Globe award, is nothing short of amazing as Tilly, fully disappearing into the role. Her Tilly comes off as a shallow narcissist, and it’s worth noting that the real Joyce “Tilly” Mitchell, in an interview from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility where she’s serving time for helping the inmates escape, criticized the mini-series. Of Stiller she said he’s “a son-of-a-bitch liar just like the rest of the world. He doesn’t care about the truth. All he cares about is making millions off me. He’s an idiot.” That probably means Stiller got it right. Δ —Glen Starkey

THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART

What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-in Chris Pratt stars as the voice of Emmet Brickowski, a construction worker Lego who must save his friends from alien invaders and discover who he really is. This second film was released about five years after the first, The Lego Movie, with the same writers, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, but a new director, Mike Mitchell (Trolls, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Sky High). Like many sequels, this film falls short of presenting a unique storyline; it’s your average coming-of-age story told while flying through other dimensions peppered with catchy (and annoying!) sing-along numbers. There’s a lot of singing, but this time everything’s not awesome, and a song could quite possibly get stuck in your head. In the glimmering city of Bricksburg, Emmet and his special friend, Lucy (Elizabeth Banks), are living pretty awesome lives, but a swarm of Lego Duplo invaders from outer space threatens the city with mass destruction that moves the citizens of Bricksburg to Apocalypseburg. Side note: The Lego Duplo blocks are designed for 1- to 2-years-old builders, so while these characters have cute eyes and childish voices, don’t be fooled! Their plans are much more sinister. And don’t make them throw up because they’ll barf colorful glitter everywhere. Anywho, Apocalypseburg is dreary and has hardened its citizens, who are constantly bracing themselves for battle. Lucy adapts perfectly to their new setting while Emmet is still the optimist he always has been. Lucy wants him to change, to be tougher in order to survive in their new world because everything is not awesome all the time. In the midst of their conversation, General Mayhem (Stephanie Beatriz) swoops in and kidnaps Lucy, Batman (Will Arnett), Benny (Charlie Day), Unikitty (Alison Brie), and MetalBeard (Nick Offerman). General Mayhem takes them to outer space to the Systar system where she announces that Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi (Tiffany Haddish)—a shape-shifting Lego—intends to wed Batman. Emmet embarks on a journey to save his friends and coincidentally meets Rex Dangervest (also Pratt). Dangervest sounds a lot like Emmet but is cooler because he’s a dinosaur trainer/spaceship pilot with some stubble on his chin. The movie weaves in and out of the Lego world and the real world between a brother and sister. The two are creating the world that Emmet and his friends live in, so whatever happens in real life transpires within the bricks. When there’s havoc in the Lego world we learn it’s because the siblings can’t seem to get along because, you know, the brother is too cool to play with his younger sister. The rejection leads to the sister capturing some of her brother’s Legos … you get the idea. There’s a lot of singing in this movie. I mean it’s a children’s film, so I expected it, but it was a little excessive. The best song in my opinion was the ending track that

It was a fun mock in the ending credit where the group literally sings, “Can’t wait to see the one about the person who edits and even better that that is who edits the credits.” It’s interesting to see this Lego movie franchise come to life and literally build itself from the ground up. Overall the star-studded cast did a great job of making the audience laugh. The theater I caught the film in was riddled with adults and their children, but I found that the other adults and I were laughing the loudest at certain parts of the film. It’s just a silly feel-good movie that I recommend catching on the big screen—the little giggles and exclamations from kids are priceless, not to mention the corny jokes that only adults understand.

Fauve follows two young boys horsing around near an open pit mine—but their playful competition turns perilous. Marguerite is about an elderly woman who opens up about her true, repressed sexuality to her younger lesbian caretaker. Detainment brings to life the police interrogations of the two British boys responsible for abducting, torturing, and murdering toddler James Bulger in 1993 (a true story). Skin portrays a white supremacist father, his relationship with his skinhead gang and his young son, and the repercussions that follow his racist beating of a black man at a grocery store. Uplifted yet? All five films tackle worthy subject areas, and I actually liked them all individually except Detainment, which I thought was a bit salacious without accomplishing much. But they’re all truly, incredibly harrowing, even the piece on the elder’s repressed sexuality, which just made you feel deeply sad for her. Madre was my favorite of the lot, as it showcased a spellbinding performance from Marta Nieto, the distraught and helpless mother on the phone with her son in trouble.

Food PHOTOS BY CAMILLIA LANHAM

YUM IN MY TUM This turtle cake was ours to eat after candy-making class was over on Feb. 9. And even though we didn’t make it, Grandma Ingrid said to shoot her an email if we wanted the recipe.

MIDDLE PRODUCT In a cooking demo during the Feb. 9 candymaking glass, Grandma Ingrid smooths marshmallow fluff into a baking sheet, where it will set. Depending on the size you want your finished mallow to be, she says, you can go with a taller dish.

MARSHMALLOW TRICKS Holli Shelton, her daughter Mackenzi Shelton, and niece Brooklynn Roberts watch as Grandma Ingrid Hilton pours a heated sugar mixture into a waiting bowl that contains gelatin, water, and vanilla. She talks to the class as she works: After approximately seven minutes of mixing, it will have the right gloss and texture.

leave the suggestion on her white board. The class today is a mix of first-timers and ladies who have been to Grandma Ingrid’s multiple times. One family visiting from Bakersfield thought this would be a fun thing to do with the kids, and one woman says she drives up from Long Beach to attend the classes. Nicolle tells the group that she pitched the idea to start teaching cooking classes out of the family farmhouse after an incident with a colleague she worked with on an ambulance. They were putting together a meal for a fundraiser and Nicolle’s colleague asked what she could do to help. Nicolle responded by asking her to make a salad. “I’d love to but I don’t know how,” Nicolle says her colleague responded. A little bit dumbfounded, Nicolle tells

the group that she realized something that day. “Something’s been lost in translation,” she says. “Not everybody grew up like I did.” Grandma Ingrid’s is starting its third year of cooking classes, but Ingrid herself has been teaching people how to cook for more than three decades. She’s been a Master Food Preserver for 30 years, teaching classes at fairs and schools around the state. She worked with a teen pregnancy group, teaching the soon-to-be moms about keeping cupboards stocked for cooking on a budget. To spark their interest, she started with chocolate syrup. “And they were all interested,” she says. The class grew from there, and she eventually taught the teens how to make baby food. Ingrid has also worked with low-income individuals through a faithbased program, helping them make a dollar go farther in the kitchen. She’s taught families how to prep food together. For her, cooking is all about building self-esteem, overcoming the fear of what’s unknown, and moving past “I can’t.” “I love looking at someone and seeing that they’re getting it,” Ingrid says. “It’s self-worth.” Everyone is busy, and it can often be easier to rely on instant food or go out to dinner, she says. Families spend less time in the kitchen than they used to, and the tradition of making food is getting lost in that transition. It can be just as rewarding to spend that extra time in the kitchen cooking something from scratch, together. “It’s not that it takes that much longer than opening that can of Campbell’s soup,” Ingrid says. “But you have to plan.” Giving people the tools to make things happen is real, she says. So is teaching budding chefs that it’s OK to make a mistake, try new things, and press on after a failure. On this sunny day between threats of rain, the humidity is about 82 percent. When Grandma Ingrid planned the candy classes, she didn’t expect it to be raining almost every day in February. “Water is your enemy when it comes to chocolate,” Ingrid says. “You should never FLAVOR continued page 56

make candy in the rain—sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The extra humidity in the air can affect your candy making.” And yet, we press on. Ingrid and Nicolle kick off the demo with peanut brittle. Obviously frustrated by the wet air, it takes Ingrid a little longer to bring her sugar and Karo syrup to a rolling boil than it normally does, but it gives her time to toss out some tips and tricks. “A full roiling boil is a boil that you cannot stir down,” she says. After she’s done with that, she moves on to homemade marshmallow. As we wait for the mixture to get to the right temperature, her granddaughter Harper takes a spin through the crowd with some vanilla marshmallow Ingrid and Nicolle made earlier in the week. Nicolle hands out marshmallow flavored with cinnamon and chili powder. It’s freakin’ delicious. They break us up into four groups, and we split up between the stations. One’s on chocolate peanut butter balls, one’s on coconut bonbons, one’s making nut clusters and bark, and one’s on chocolate dipping duty. They feed us homemade chicken noodle soup with fresh noodles. Everyone gets chatty, laughing, talking about food and family. “I think people relax around food, and they can take things in better,” Ingrid tells me. “They learn better in a group like this because they don’t feel like someone’s just staring at them, watching their every move. I think you can really learn that way, and they keep coming back.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is addicted to peanut clusters at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

NEWS NIBBLES WINE TIME

www.corning.com 56 • New Times • February 14 - February 21, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

Suck this down: The last Saturday of the month, which happens to fall on Feb. 23 this year, is Open that Bottle Night thanks to Wall Street Journal “Tastings” columnists Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher. Some of their tips are: to stand older wine up for days prior to get that sediment settled, drink the wines closer to cellar temps (55 degrees), don’t decant, and have a backup wine ready just in case your bottle of choice has gone bad … Local winemakers recently met to review the 2018 grape harvest. The San Luis Obispo Coast growing region experience the second coolest growing season in the past 10 years. Grape yields were up 20 percent for pinot noir and 10 percent for chardonnay. Both grapes “are excellent in 2018,” according to the February SLO Wine Surf Report, due to a good set (uniform clusters with fully mature berries), a long growing season, and all that good cool weather … The San Luis Obispo Wine Country Association hired a new executive director. Anne Steinhauer comes to the Central Coast from the Napa Valley were she ran a consulting company. There she worked with the Napa Valley Cannabis Association, the Napa Valley Vintners, and Napa County Red Cross. Hmmm, is there a cannabis/ wine tour in SLO County’s future? … Oh, and, just in case you missed this news, Sextant Wines purchased the Old Edna Township—which is kind of crazy, right?

D INE ’N’ DISH Pasta, pasta

Once you’ve eaten fresh pasta, it’s hard to buy that dried-up stuff in the grocery stores. Even if you mess it up like my mother and I did when we made it on Christmas day. The ingredients are so simple: eggs, water, flour, and salt (you can Google recipes), but we were first-timers. It was a mess all over my kitchen. Flour on the counter, on the floor, on my apron, in my hair—I always get stuff in my hair. The dough was too sticky, but we pushed on through. Cutting the dough into smaller, more manageable pieces, we rolled it through the pasta maker my mom’s parents brought her from Iran long ago. Over and over again, we cranked the rollers, making the dough thin enough to move it over to the cutters. But our dough wasn’t dry enough to cut, so I just kept adding flour and running it through over and over again until we had a pile of very uneven noodles sitting on the counter. My mom was doing her own thing, and I was doing mine. We were both trying to tell each other what to do, even though it was pretty obvious that neither one of us knew what we were doing. Then, we just threw it all into a pot of water and the noodles bubbled up all funny. So we didn’t read our Google recipe very thoroughly—which is normal for us. We like to wing it in my family. Apparently, we were supposed to dry them before plopping them in water. But winging it usually always tastes good and so did these noodles (They were so soft and delicious!), especially after we added them to the leftover cioppino (Googled that one, too) I’d made the night before. Nailed it! Google “fresh pasta recipe” and do it yourself—at your house with friends, because cooking with friends is better than cooking alone! ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham needs her mom to bring the pasta roller back to the house.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Read free excerpts from my most recent book: https://bit.ly/joylucklove. ARIES LIBRA (March 21-April 19): When directors of movies say, “It’s a wrap,” they mean that the shooting of a scene has been finished. They may use the same expression when the shooting of the entire film is completed. That’s not the end of the creative process, of course. All the editing must still be done. Once that’s accomplished, the producer may declare that the final product is “in the can,” and ready to be released or broadcast. From what I can determine, Aries, you’re on the verge of being able to say, “it’s a wrap” for one of your own projects. There’ll be more work before you’re ready to assert, “it’s in the can.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to create your own royal throne and sit on it whenever you need to think deep thoughts and formulate important decisions. Make sure your power chair is comfortable as well as beautiful and elegant. To enhance your ability to wield your waxing authority with grace and courage, I also encourage you to fashion your own crown, scepter, and ceremonial footwear. They, too, should be comfortable, beautiful, and elegant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1995, astronomer Bob Williams got a strong urge to investigate a small scrap of the night sky that most other astronomers regarded as boring. It was near the handle of the constellation known as the Big Dipper. Luckily for him, he could ignore his colleagues’ discouraging pressure. That’s because he had been authorized to use the high-powered Hubble Space Telescope for a 10-day period. To the surprise of everyone but Williams, his project soon discovered that this seemingly unremarkable part of the heavens is teeming with more than 3,000 galaxies. I suspect you may have a challenge akin to Williams’, Gemini. A pet project or crazy notion of yours may not get much support, but I hope you’ll pursue it anyway. I bet your findings will be different from what anyone expects.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A study by the Humane Research Council found that more than 80 percent of those who commit to being vegetarians eventually give up and return to eating meat. A study by the National Institute of Health showed that only about 36 percent of alcoholics are able to achieve full recovery; the remainder relapse. And we all know how many people make New Year’s resolutions to exercise more often, but then stop going to the gym by February. That’s the bad news. The good news, Cancerian, is that during the coming weeks you will possess an enhanced power to stick with any commitment you know is right and good for you. Take advantage!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are there two places on earth more different from each other than Europe and Africa? Yet there is a place, the Strait of Gibraltar, where Europe and Africa are just 8.7 miles apart. Russia and the United States are also profoundly unlike each other, but only 2.5 miles apart where the Bering Strait separates them. I foresee a metaphorically comparable phenomenon in your life. Two situations or influences or perspectives that may seem to have little in common will turn out to be closer to each other than you imagined possible.

VIRGO

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CHANGE OF NAME CASE NUMBER: 19CVP-0009

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo basketball star Latrell Sprewell played professionally for 13 years. He could have extended his career at least three more seasons, but he turned down an offer for $21 million from the Minnesota team, complaining that it wouldn’t be sufficient to feed his four children. I will ask you not to imitate his behavior, Virgo. If you’re offered a deal or opportunity that doesn’t perfectly meet all your requirements, don’t dismiss it out of hand. A bit of compromise is sensible right now.

To all interested persons: Petitioner: Jesus Espinoza filed a petition with this court for a decree changing names as follows: PRESENT NAME: Jesus Villegas to PROPOSED NAME: Jesus Espinoza THE COURT ORDERS: that all persons interested in this matter appear before this court at the hearing indicated below to show cause, if any, why the petition for change of name should not be granted.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1992, an Ethiopian man named Belachew Girma became an alcoholic after he saw his wife die from AIDS. And yet today he is renowned as a Laughter Master, having dedicated himself to explore the healing powers of ebullience and amusement. He presides over a school that teaches people the fine points of laughter, and he holds the world’s record for longest continuous laughter at three hours and six minutes. I nominate him to be your role model in the next two weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be especially primed to benefit from the healing power of laughter. You’re likely to encounter more droll and whimsical and hilarious events than usual, and your sense of humor should be especially hearty and finely-tuned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science suggests that people who use curse words tend to be more candid. “Swearing is often inappropriate but it can also be evidence that someone is telling you their honest opinion,” said the lead researcher. “Just as they aren’t filtering their language to be more palatable, they’re also not filtering their views.” If that’s true, Scorpio, I’m going to encourage you to curse more than usual in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’s crucial that you tell as much of the whole truth as is humanly possible. (P.S. Your cursing outbursts don’t necessarily have to be delivered with total abandon everywhere you go. You could accomplish a lot just by going into rooms by yourself and exuberantly allowing the expletives to roll out of your mouth.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the mid-1980s, a California carrot farmer grew frustrated with the fact that grocery stories didn’t want to buy his broken and oddly shaped carrots. A lot of his crop was going to waste. Then he got the bright idea to cut and shave the imperfect carrots so as to make smooth little baby carrots. They became a big success. Can you think of a metaphorically comparable adjustment you could undertake, Sagittarius? Is it possible to transform a resource that’s partially going to waste? Might you be able to enhance your possibilities by making some simple modifications?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Mongolia is a huge landlocked country. It borders no oceans or seas. Nevertheless, it has a navy of seven sailors. Its lone ship is a tugboat moored on Lake Khovsgol, which is 3 percent of the size of North America’s Lake Superior. I’m offering up the Mongolian navy as an apt metaphor for you to draw inspiration from in the coming weeks. I believe it makes good astrological sense for you to launch a seemingly quixotic quest to assert your power, however modestly, in a situation that may seem out of your league.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “A freshness lives deep in me which no one can take from me,” wrote poet Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf. “Something unstilled, unstillable is within me; it wants to be voiced,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. In accordance with your astrological omens, I propose we make those two quotes your mottoes for the next four weeks. In my opinion, you have a mandate to tap into what’s freshest and most unstillable about you—and then cultivate it, celebrate it, and express it with the full power of your grateful, brilliant joy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): According to the Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology, the word “obsession” is used to refer to the agitated state of a person who was besieged by rowdy or unruly spirits arriving from outside the person. “Possession,” on the other hand, once meant the agitated state of a person struggling against rowdy or unruly spirits arising from within. In the Western Christian perspective, both modes have been considered primarily negative and problematic. In many other cultures, however, spirits from both the inside and outside have sometimes been regarded as relatively benevolent, and their effect quite positive. As long as you don’t buy into the Western Christian view, I suspect that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to consort with spirits like those. ∆
