AG council members ask mayor to step down from sanitation district board

PHOTO BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS

A

fter publicly releasing the results of an investigation into alleged misconduct

by Arroyo Grande Mayor Jim Hill, members of the City Council have asked him to relinquish his seat on the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District’s board of directors.

The council voted 3-2 to request that Hill voluntarily give up his position as one of three members of the sanitation district’s board and appoint Arroyo Grande Mayor Pro Tem Tim Brown to serve in his place. Hill and Brown voted against the recommendation at the council’s Sept. 12 meeting. Councilmembers Caren Ray, Kristen Barneich, and Barbara Harmon voted in favor of it.

“When [Hill] is serving on the sanitation district, he is serving for the citizens of Arroyo Grande,” Barneich said. “He is not serving by himself in a vacuum.”

The independent investigation, conducted by the Liebert Cassidy Whitmore (LCW) law firm, examined allegations of misconduct against Hill at both the city and the sanitation district.

The findings substantiated allegations that Hill disclosed confidential personnel matters as well as privileged attorney-client information and documents to third parties in his role as a member of the sanitation district’s board, and that he overstepped the bounds of his role as a board member by interfering with the personnel matters, which were supposed to fall under the authority of the district’s administration.

The investigation’s findings also stated that there was sufficient evidence to show that Hill overstepped the bounds of his role as a mayor when he sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission without consulting other members of the council, and raised concerns that Hill’s wife, Lin, may have access to his city email account and iPad. Of the eight allegations raised in the report, the investigation found that four of them were sustained, while two others lacked sufficient

evidence, and two others were unfounded.

“In my humble opinion, four [sustained allegations] is too many,” Barneich said.

“This is alarming due to the fact that it shows a pattern of behavior that is not likely to change. It also makes me wonder how many other times it’s happened.”

In addition to calling on Hill to step down from his seat at the sanitation district, the council’s majority also voted to recommend that OVER THE HILL? The Arroyo Grande City Council voted 3-2 on Sept. 12 on a number of recommendations in the wake of a he attend one-on-one risk misconduct investigation against Mayor Jim Hill, including asking the management training.

Court backs Megan’s Organic Market in county’s cannabis lawsuit

A San Luis Obispo County Superior Court judge ruled against SLO County on Sept. 13 and its motion seeking authority to abate the cannabis plants of local medical marijuana delivery service Megan’s Organic Market, effectively preserving a harvest that will benefit nearly 2,000 patients on the Central Coast.

SLO County filed the lawsuit in July, declaring the grow—a half-acre site on property in rural Los Osos—a public nuisance because a building on the land has an unresolved code case. It was the sixth such lawsuit filed by the county to stop local cannabis cultivations that are allegedly out of

compliance with an urgency ordinance.

But Judge Charles Crandall sided with Megan’s Organic Market and ruled that the alleged code violations on the property “have little (if any) connection with the cultivation activity” and that the county’s case for a preliminary (or immediate) injunction did “not outweigh the harm” that abating the cultivation would cause.

“An injunction at this time would result in the loss of the crop, along with revenue from its sale, as well as certain capital expenditures,” Crandall stated.

Jesse Hill, the attorney representing Megan’s co-owners Eric Powers and Megan Souza and property owner Susan Veley, told New Times the NEWS continued page 6

decision a “win” for the group. Powers said he was glad that the harvest could move forward this fall. “That was the important thing,” he said.

County Counsel officials told New Times they are still pursuing a permanent injunction for cannabis grows on that property. How Megan’s and other cultivators will find their footing is unclear since the county has not adopted a permanent ordinance yet, and its current draft suggests capping available permits at 100.

Residents fear fatalities on Buckley Road with looming Avila Ranch

After 32 years running The Equine Center veterinary clinic on Davenport Creek Road just south of San Luis Obispo city limits, Jim Waldsmith knows the area’s handful of rural roads like the back of his hand.

The most frequently traversed of them is Buckley Road, a 3-mile-long, two-lane road that runs from Highway 227 at the SLO County Regional Airport to Vachell Lane near South Higuera Street, winding through mostly open space and ag or ranch land—including near Waldsmith’s clinic and home.

Having taken countless car trips down it with horse trailers and other heavy equipment in tow, Waldsmith has one conclusion about Buckley Road.

“This road is dangerous now,” Waldsmith told New Times. “People with trucks and trailers really have a difficult time getting through this road.”

Buckley Road is relatively narrow— about 28 feet wide, according to SLO County officials—with some abrupt twists and turns, and gets hit with seasonal flooding at a creek crossover. Waldsmith and his neighbors say they have reason to believe traffic safety in the area is about to a get a lot worse before it gets better.

On Sept. 19, the SLO City Council will make a final decision on Avila Ranch, a 720-unit housing project proposed along Buckley Road, near the street’s westerly end at Vachell Lane. SLO plans to annex the 150-acre site into the city from the county—though the majority of Buckley Road going east would remain unincorporated.

Part of the Avila Ranch plans include extending Buckley Road out to South Higuera Street, effectively connecting two major streets: Highway 227 and South Higuera Street.

Residents in the area fear the consequences. What’s historically been a relatively isolated country road peppered with trucks, tractors, and trailers could soon be a major east-to-west corridor for city residents, commuters, tourists, and shoppers.

Locals like Waldsmith don’t believe the city and county are giving Buckley Road the attention it requires to prevent future car and bicycle collisions.

“Traffic is often characterized as just a nuisance,” Waldsmith said. “Traffic as a nuisance is not as big a concern as traffic as a danger or a threat. That’s the situation we find ourselves in.”

About 30 nearby residents recently

VIEWER DISCRETION met with city and county officials to express their concerns and talk solutions.

Part of the problem from a logistical standpoint is the jurisdictional overlap between the city, county, and developer.

Another is how to generate the funds.

The Avila Ranch developer, Andy Mangano, is expected to fund the South Higuera Street connection, a new roundabout at Buckley and Highway 227, and the widening of Buckley along the frontage of the development and at the Davenport Creek Road intersection.

But SLO County will need to “fill in the gaps” on the road, according to county Deputy Director of Public Works Dave Flynn.

He said the first step is to do a “corridor study” of Buckley Road, which will chart the course of future improvements.

“We need the big plan,” Flynn said. “It’s going to take time to be able to widen the road. Money comes in little chunks. It never comes all at once.”

Area residents are worried that the fixes won’t come soon enough. They’re pushing the city to require that Buckley Road see thorough improvements before a single unit of Avila Ranch is occupied.

While California Highway Patrol accident statistics on Buckley Road couldn’t be obtained by New Times before press time, Flynn said the road currently has a “below average collision rate.”

Neighboring resident Paul Rys said relying on that metric given the future development is like playing Russian roulette.

“They go by the number of fatalities before they make improvements,” Rys said. “We don’t want to be the first ones.”

Sheriff’s Office hires new medical examiner

After months of criticism over the performance of its contracted medical examiner, the SLO County Sheriff’s Office has hired its first full-time forensic pathologist.

Dr. Joye M. Carter began her duties as the county’s new medical examiner Sept. 11, according to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office. Carter, an Air Force veteran, is a triple board certified physician specializing in the field of forensic pathology. She will be responsible for performing autopsies and medical examinations for the Sheriff’s Office, consulting on suspicious deaths and homicide scene investigations, and testifying in court.

Prior to her new job in SLO County, Carter worked as a deputy chief medical examiner for the Armed Forces Medical Examiner Department; chief medical examiner for the District of Columbia; chief medical examiner of Harris County, Texas; and chief forensic pathologist to the coroner of Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Sheriff’s Office did not release specific information about Carter’s salary, but a job description posted on the county’s website placed the salary range for the position between $204,672 and $248,788 annually.

6 • New Times • September 14 - September 21, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

Carter replaces the county’s former contracted medical examiner Dr. Gary Walter, who came under fire for his conduct outside the office as well as his handling of recent high-profile death investigations. Walter’s troubles began in March of 2016, when he was arrested for drunk driving by SLO police. Walter, who was working on contract for the Sheriff’s Office at the time, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge and received three years probation.

Walter later came under fire for his report on the death of SLO County Jail inmate Andrew Holland, who died of a blood clot in one of his lungs in January after being strapped in a restraint chair for 46 hours. In his autopsy report, Walter classified Holland’s death as “natural” and declined to specify whether his lengthy time in the chair caused it, drawing harsh criticism from Holland’s family and their attorney.

Walter’s work again came under scrutiny over his determination that Baylee Gatlin, a 20-year-old Ventura resident, died from “acute LSD poisoning” after attending the Lightning in a Bottle music festival in May. In an article by The Tribune, one expert said Walter’s determination “defied logic,” stating that an LSD overdose was “not possible” According to court documents, Walter is currently facing possible disciplinary action from the California Medical Board in connection with his DUI arrest. Walter could lose his medical license as a result of the ongoing disciplinary proceedings.

Woman found in car with corpse takes plea deal

One of two people found traveling in a car with a teenage child and a decomposing body has taken a plea deal, and will likely be sentenced to probation.

On Aug. 31, Sherrie Lynn Boggess, 50, pleaded “no contest” to one misdemeanor count of willful cruelty to a child in connection with the bizarre case.

Boggess and her husband, 59-year-old Darwin Keith Alaskari, were arrested on

by Jayson Mellom

Aug. 15 after SLO County Sheriff’s Office deputies discovered the decomposing body of 83-year-old Donald Eugene Cunningham in the back of an SUV the couple had been occupying in Cayucos.

According to sheriff’s officials, deputies approached the vehicle because it was parked on the street facing the wrong direction and was emanating a “strong odor.” Inside, they found Cunningham’s body, Alaskari, and Boggess. Boggess and Alaskari’s 13-year-old daughter was also in vehicle.

Investigators said that Cunningham had been a longtime acquaintance of the couple, described as transients from the Bakersfield area, and indicated that they had been transporting his body to Big Sur or an out-of-state location for a burial.

Both Boggess and Alaskari were charged with misdemeanor methamphetamine possession, as well as a felony count of willful harm or injury to a child and one misdemeanor count of willful cruelty to a child. Sheriff’s officials indicated that the child endangerment charges were brought against the two because they allowed a minor to be in close proximity to a decomposing body, and because there were narcotics and paraphernalia in the vehicle as well. The 13-year-old was taken into protective custody after Boggess and Alaskari’s arrest.

In exchange for her plea, Boggess will likely be sentenced to four years of probation and mandatory parenting class. The two remaining charges against her will be dropped, according to court records. Boggess will be formally sentenced in SLO County Superior Court on Sept. 26.

As Boggess’ court case comes to a close, her husband’s remains ongoing. Court records showed that Alaskari has been referred for a mental health evaluation to determine whether he is mentally competent to stand trial.

As of Sept. 13, the cause of Cunningham’s death remains unknown.

A sheriff’s spokesman said that the department is still waiting for a final autopsy and toxicology report. Δ —Chris McGuinness

REUSE SORA Water Recycling aims to bring gray water recycling to your home, by capturing it, filtering it, and pumping it back into the house for use.

BY CAMILLIA LANHAM

Catching up U tilizing renewable resources such as solar panels to power our homes are way ahead of using recycled water inside of our homes.

“We’ve been noticing a lot of people claiming energy independence with solar panels and renewables,” Cal Poly grad Dustin Kash said. “We see that water is pretty far behind all of that and needs to catch up.”

That’s why Kash, with a bachelor’s in environmental engineering; his partner Christopher O’Day, with a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering; and Sangha Energy, a SLO County-based business specializing in home energy solutions, are working to develop a product that would enable households to recycle the water they’ve used and reuse it. The project’s— SORA Water Recycling—goal is to reduce water waste.

It would take all your gray water (from the shower, washing machine, dishwasher, etc.), clean it up, and re-plumb that water back into the house for reuse.

The crew has built a smaller, to-scale, prototype and applied for the rights to a provisional patent but is looking for a little bit more funding to complete research and development and build a professional-grade prototype that they can test, with the goal of eventually selling them for home use.

That prototype essentially looks like a box made out of wooden house siding with a solar panel on top and all the filtration components contained within.

“What sets ours a part from other gray water recycling that exists is, for one, ours uses solar power and solar distillation to create drinkable water, which is not something that exists right now,” Kash said, adding that it also doesn’t use replaceable filters or chemicals to clean the water. “You could say that it acts like a water treatment plant in the fact that it uses natural bacteria to disinfect the water and other similar processes.”

It works through a series of “purification steps.” First, the system allows the solids to settle, then water is pushed through a series of anaerobic and aerobic reactors “resembling a layer of soil near a river or creek, with limited oxygen.” Microbes flourish, digesting impurities. A biofilter in the “oxygenated zone” contains different microbes that help disinfect the water.

There is also a sand filtration system.

Solar distillation, which uses sunlight and evaporation, helps make drinking water.

The product is meant to put out two different purity levels of water, one for home appliances and irrigation, one for drinking.

According to Kash, SORA still needs to do more water testing, but the team has so far demonstrated that their techniques can produce potable water.

“We have proved that the distillation component will produce 100 percent drinkable water. That can happen for sure,” he said.

The idea has been marinating for about a year now, and Kash said the team’s been working on developing the prototype for the last four months. He said the drought really highlighted the issues that California has with water, which may seem cheap and plentiful now (yes, even now that water rates have gone up and aquifers/reservoirs are starting to show their capacity limits) but probably won’t be in the future.

SORA Water Recycling will eventually put up a crowdfunding page on Indiegogo, with several different options that could run the gamut from simply donating to eventually being able to purchase a kit.

Kash indicated that it should happen before the end of September. If you’d like more info, head to sorawater.weebly.com or the SORA Water Recycling Facebook page.

Commentary

BY STEVE OMAR

Great idea County officials should allow homeless to camp in the dunes

P

atrick Ford’s editorial in New Times on solutions to the county homeless crisis should be read seriously by our county government leaders, legislators, planners (“A home in South County,” Sept. 7). There is a lot of government-owned land used by only dead weeds scrub, for even tent camps like common in World War II California, etc. Japanese forced into these camps were treated with better beds, accommodations, and meals than most of SLO County’s homeless now! A barrack or tent is better than a creek f loor full of mosquitoes, biting spiders, and stagnant stream stench, like our homeless forced from their camps.

In the 1930s was the Great Depression of massive unemployment in San Luis Obispo County, forcing thousands to become homeless before Social Security, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, unemployment insurance, and food stamps existed. Dozens moved into the huge empty Oceano sand dunes to become the famous “Dunites.” Instead of being trouble causing, annoying, alcoholic, and drug addict dirty bums begging, they were responsible—daily catching fresh fish for nutrition and sales for funds for supplies.

They grew their own organic food at the little freshwater oasis gullies in the dunes and ate well and sold for profit at

HODIN

farmers’ markets. Dunites made their own clothing out of used discarded fabrics, and built their own homes from materials from closed, torn down, dismantled buildings and homes.

In trade for the materials, Dunites helped contractors tear the structures down and remove the lumber, glass, roofing, windows, etc., for Dunite homes. The dunes settlers did not need to ask taxpayers to spend money on building expensive housing for them.

unhealthy sand-filled air to breathe.

There are more than 15 miles of dunes that are up to 2 miles wide in places, and situated where tents and two-person shelters could be erected completely out of view of beach users.

Countless times I surfed Oceano on warm days and saw no other surfers or swimmers or bodyboarders.

Sometimes, if the wind was up, maybe a few kiteboarders were out there for a few hours. There was usually nobody on that long, wide beach except the ATV sand-polluters racing around with their noise choking exhaust and bad air. Dunites is a far better option.

Let the homeless have camps there, SLO County supervisors. Hire some security guards if you people have any compassion.

That is way cheaper than building

It seems too much money for the homeless has been spent on expensive studies for solutions, which never solved the problem.

Though the shelters had primitive crude architecture and furnishings, they were far more comfortable and healthy than sleeping outside in creek canyons, sidewalks, street benches, and other hideous places in cold and rain.

Over 99 percent of the sand dunes from Grover Beach to Point Sal are uninhabited, the exceptions being the air-polluting, speeding recreational vehicles giving Oceano and Nipomo

expensive shelters and all the permits and red tape delays and time. The dunes would accommodate all of the estimated 258 South County homeless and their pets. Have counselors teach “responsible” living by insisting they catch and sell fish, grow and sell crops, make jewelry, paint art, and play music in town for pay. That is what the nofree-hand-outs Dunites did!

It seems we have lost something

great from more than 80 years ago.

We need to progress. And what about those old, yet big empty buildings the county and state already own, that could easily fit 260 beds plus emergency beds? It seems too much money for the homeless has been spent on expensive studies for solutions, which never solved the problem.

I would also suggest the just “laws of karma” of all religions. Those who work for their food, shelter, medical, and clothing deserve to get it when forced into unemployment, or by the common California minimum wage jobs that make housing unaffordable.

Any person who gets shelter, meals, clothing, and medical without working and paying for it, should work in the shelters to earn it. Jobs include janitorial, meals, repairs, construction, carpentry, caregiver, babysitting, and even simple weed removal. Most homeless can do at least one of these unskilled jobs. Skills can come from training to do the other jobs. All homeless shelters need job training and volunteers as staff.

First in line for shelters and Dunite living should be sober, rehabbed, illegaldrug-free applicants. Those who refuse to change their lifestyles belong either in jail or a mental facility. Why should people work to give freebies to people who intentionally abuse and ruin their lives, without remorse or rehab? ∆ Steve Omar used to edit newspapers in Hawaii.

Opinion Admit it: you were (and still are) wrong

I know how hard it is to admit you’re wrong, especially when you’ve staunchly defended a position for a long time. But sometimes you have to just bite the bullet and do it.

It is long past time for deniers of man-made climate change to muster the courage to make that admission. The scientific evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible.

The extreme weather events that have been predicted for decades—heat waves, droughts, wildfires, floods, hurricanes—are now upon us now and will only get worse the longer we wait to act.

The cost in human suffering and infrastructure destruction is mounting by the day. Those who continue to stymy efforts to reduce carbon emissions to avert catastrophic global warming can no longer profess doubt or ignorance. Such a stance is fundamentally immoral, as it condemns thousands of people to perish in future disasters along with countless numbers of other species that share this planet with us.

The only thing worse than being wrong is not correcting your mistake.

Carbajal sold to the highest bidder

Salud Carbajal ran as a candidate who would support campaign finance reform and take money out of politics.

Almost every voter can agree that this is a great idea, but U.S. Rep. Carbajal always tends to say one thing and do another.

After reviewing the recent donations, you can clearly see that Rep. Carbajal is bought and sold to the highest bidder, which in this case is Nancy Pelosi. She donated more than $4,000 to his re-election campaign, and he has rewarded her by voting 98 percent in lockstep with her.

We need a representative who can’t be bought and cares about the people of the 24th Congressional District, not a “Pelosi puppet” who will say and do anything to fill their campaign coffers for their re-election.

I am very disappointed in Congressman Carbajal but not surprised. He has already received close to $250,000 this year alone from special interests. So I have to ask you, whose call will Rep. Carbajal answer when it comes down to voting on meaningful legislation?

The hardworking taxpayers of the California Central Coast? Or the special interests that cut him big checks?

I’ll let you decide, but I think we all know it is the latter.

Yes, about eight years ago I wrote an opinion piece in the New Times about Climate Change Action Day, a 350.org event.

Despite these warnings about the consequences of inaction, the levels of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases are still rising. The U.S. has failed to sign on to the Paris Climate Treaty, thanks to President Trump and his advisors. And as our southern states deal with Irma’s ramifications, President Trump urges further repeal of environmental regulations (or nonenforcement, which is the same thing) and more gas, oil, and coal extraction, all in the name of increasing jobs.

But perhaps former deniers of human-caused climate change who witnessed the devastation caused first by Hurricane Harvey and now Hurricane Irma, in the USA, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and the destroyed island of Barbuda, will ponder what a future of increasingly lethal storms would mean and what should be done.

I can only hope that the Republican legislators in Congress whose states/ constituents have suffered this month (and for many months to come) will finally wake up and smell … not the coffee, but the reality of climate change and finally take meaningful action.

‘D’ in DACA stands for deferred

It seems to me that all the criticism directed at TV star, successful businessman, best-selling author and now President of the United States Donald Trump for his decision to end the DACA program is misunderstood and unwarranted. In actuality, what our president did is the best thing for these 800,000 illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

Opinion LETTERS from page 13

“awesome-sauce” (see The Shredder, “Inclusive inaction,” Sept. 7) former President Barack Obama when, instead of sending this matter to Congress when Democrats had a majority in the House and a filibusterproof majority in the Senate, he chose the path to “soon-to-fail” Obamacare and the enjoyment of many rounds of golf. If he really cared so much for these vulnerable young people, he would have taken proper action at the proper time. He didn’t. He left this hot potato (remember, he called it “deferred”) to his successor, which, to the surprise of many, wasn’t Hillary Clinton.

Just so there’s no misunderstanding about my biases, I admit to voting for Trump, and if there was another election today, I’d vote for him again.

That’s because, unlike his predecessor, he knows that the president doesn’t make law and that executive orders are only temporary. That in order for a matter to become law (we all know this, of course) a bill must be passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the president (Article 1, Section 1, of our Constitution states, “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in Congress … ” ).

An executive order is not law, is not permanent, and can be rescinded by the president without comment or explanation. So “awesome-sauce” President Obama took a vulnerable group of illegal immigrant children

and gave them false hope rather than a secure future. Not particularly admirable in my book.

By ending DACA, President Trump is giving the Dreamers a fresh chance for a path to legal status. I think most Americans, myself included (and if I may be presumptuous, I’d say President Trump included), believe something should be done to offer these young people a shot at legal status and the American dream. Congress, of course, reflects the will of the people and I think both Democrats and Republicans would like to see this uncertainty turned into something positive—a law giving permanent, legal status to Dreamers.

So when many are so quick to criticize President Trump, please take a moment to recognize and acknowledge that he actually supports doing something positive and permanent for the Dreamers.

BY AL FONZI

Freedom of speech under fire

T

homas Jefferson, third President of the United States and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, repeatedly affirmed the rights of conscience as embodied in the First Amendment’s protection of speech, religion, and peaceful assembly. To quote him: “No provision in our Constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience.�

What was Jefferson referring to as “conscience�? Prior to the American Revolution, particularly in the early 1700s and late 1600s, Americans were forced to support churches not of their choosing. In some colonies, ministers of non-approved denominations were imprisoned and even hanged. From the memory of this intolerance came insistence upon a Bill of Rights being included in the newly ratified Constitution.

For 200 years these rights were tested and expanded by the courts into a clearly defined body of law that protected the most important rights of humanity: the right to speak your mind without fear of legal prosecution. It doesn’t mean that there won’t be social or economic repercussions; others have the right to disagree with your speech and exercise their own First Amendment right by sanctioning your speech via social isolation and vehemently disagreeing with your views while expounding upon

their own. Objectionable speech is best opposed by reasoned speech, not by mob violence or censorship by government.

A growing, disturbing trend from a once vigorous defender of free speech emanates from the academic community.

A few years ago I attended an event at Cal Poly that hosted Dr. Robert Spencer who specialized in the intellectual fight against radical Islamic Jihad. A number of Cal Poly students attended, most from various social science disciplines. As soon as Spencer began to speak, a number of students angrily left the room as a form of protest against Spencer’s message, exercising their disagreement via the First Amendment without, however, hearing a word he had to say. A number of Muslim students remained for Spencer’s entire talk, asking pointed questions at the end of the event.

At the end of Spencer’s talk a young woman stated that Spencer shouldn’t be allowed to speak on college campuses as her First Amendment rights protected her against (what she considered) hate speech. She was a senior, scheduled to graduate in a few weeks, a sad commentary on how indoctrination has replaced critical thinking in our universities. Several attorneys present in the audience proceeded to correct her misinterpretation of the First Amendment, which protects objectionable

speech against the tyranny of the majority.

As stated by writer Harry Hutchinson, a growing majority has come to believe, (especially millennials) “free speech is simply any speech that intolerant leftwing mobs disagree with. Rather than truth, they seek confirmation of their own prejudices and biases.�

Opinion writer Kathy Riedmann argued in New Times that objectionable groups not be permitted to exercise “free speech rights� in rallies and presumably, in any public forum “but keep [their beliefs] amongst themselves, behind closed doors� (“Speech limits,� Aug. 31). This is the antithesis of the origin and intent of the founders. The First Amendment was enacted to protect the rights of conscience and unpopular beliefs from the tyranny of the majority.

Riedmann was wrong on a number of points, emphasizing that speech producing an imminent threat is justification for censorship. The courts actually require not simply an imminent threat but also “a true threat against specific individuals,� not just generic expressions of hatred toward specific groups, before speech may be censored. An example is threatening the life of the president, which the courts uphold as warranting prohibition and legal sanctions.

Riedmann cites racist, inflammatory speech being the catalyst as “fighting

words� that generated the riots of Charlottesville and that “the prevention of pandemonium should not be on the shoulders of the police. It is asking too much of them and placing them in unnecessary danger.� However, the facts revealed it was the failure of the police to keep “antifa� counter-protestors apart from the Klansmen/Nazis that led to the riot. It is absolutely the primary duty of police to maintain order, anticipate conflict, and take appropriate steps to prevent or mitigate violence. Leaving maintenance of order to self-appointed vigilantes like the antifa’s lynch-mob justice is a prescription for anarchy and destruction of our democratic republic.

An article by David Cole of the ACLU in the New York Review of Books, (in the upcoming Sept. 28 issue) titled “Why We Must Still Defend Free Speech� provides a sterling defense of First Amendment freedoms and states clearly, “Free speech allows us to resolve our differences through public reason; violence is its antithesis. The First Amendment protects the exchange of views, not the exchange of bullets.�

Allowing the government to censor the speech of unpopular groups will inevitably lead to suppression of all views not approved by the government. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35-year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder

Trash talk T o hear online resources such as californiabeaches.com or californiathroughmylens.com tell it, Pirate’s Cove is an absolute jewel, “a well-known clothing optional beach,” “incredibly beautiful,” with a cave that’s “impressive.” Jeez, that sounds swell; however, they left out the used condoms littering the area, the graffiti, the broken beer bottles, the piles of human excrement, and the trash everywhere.

Yes, as of late, Pirate’s Cove has gone straight to hell in a hand basket. And you know whose fault it is? Well, first I’ll tell whose fault it’s not. It’s not the fault of the California Coastal Commission, even though they put the kybosh on SLO County’s plan to pave the parking lot, install restrooms and trashcans, and limit hours of access. The commission was just trying to protect public access and the area’s rural character. It’s also not the county Board of Supervisors’ fault, even though they’ve recently failed to set aside any funding for improvement and maintenance of the site (They are, by the way, requesting a plan to clean up Cave Landing, the bluff above Pirate’s Cove).

The board has at least tried to take action to improve the area. No, those responsible for the sorry state of Pirate’s Cove are its users and the members of the public who vocally, bitterly demand the site be left as is. You guys are idiots.

You want to hang out on a gorgeous, secluded stretch of beach and let your naughty bits fly, more power to you. You want to drink some frosty brews on a bluff overlooking the blue Pacific, go for it! Hell, you want to get a quick hummer in a cave from someone special you just met, I don’t care. But pick up after yourselves, assholes! Don’t leave your trash everywhere. Don’t flick your condoms on the ground. And if you see some little shitheel wielding a can of spray paint, tell him if you catch him tagging the rocks or the cave you’re going to take that paint and use it on him. And if you have to defecate, move off the trail, dig a freaking hole, and bury that shit! Good grief!

If you want the freedom to party, gaze wondrously at middle-aged danglers, and act like “free spirits,” have enough character to treat this area you claim to love so much with some goddamn respect!

You want to be left alone up there? Great!

Make it so when a sheriff’s deputy cruises by or a family takes a wrong turn on their way to Avila Beach, they’re not aghast and disgusted by the mess

you’ve created. It’s the Wild West up there, and that means conscientious users need to be the Vigilante Committee, ready to keep the reckless cowboys in line. If you can’t do that, don’t be surprised when the Coastal Commission and the Board of Supes get fed up and take action. The ball’s in your court, Pirate’s Cove users. You can clean up your precious spot or be swept out with all the trash you left.

And on a quick side note, Laguna Lake Park seems to be the newest condom dumping ground. I’m guessing low-level prostitution is going on over there again. Maybe the SLOPD needs to restart their sting operations, or better yet, get a room, you cheapskate dirtbags!

And speaking of spankings in cheap motel rooms, Arroyo Grande City Council is trying to give the beat down to Mayor Jim Hill. His supporters argue he’s bravely going after malfeasance in the city and South SLO County Sanitation District, upon whose board he serves. His opponents argue he recklessly oversteps his authority. A 102page investigation of the mayor concluded both sides are partially correct, and now the council is asking Hill to step down from the Sanitation District board. Stop being a cowboy and follow the rules, Hill!

On a more positive note, here’s a quick shout out to the SLO County Sheriff for

… conscientious users need to be the Vigilante Committee, ready to keep the reckless cowboys in line.

finally hiring a full-time medical examiner.

Yes, I’m going to miss Dr. Gary “Hiccup” Walter, the previously contracted examiner.

His absurd conclusions, precarious medical licensing, and his drunk driving arrest have been very good for this column, but I look forward to Dr. Joye Carter, a triple board certified physician with more than 30 years of experience, taking the reins.

Let’s hope she’s independent enough to hold the Sheriff’s Office accountable if it’s complicit in the death of another inmate.

I’m watching you, Joye!

And finally, mea culpa time. Last week I admonished Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong for not condemning Trump’s DACA maneuvering, but it turns out that Armstrong did put out an email statement to the “campus community,” just not publicly to the press or on the university website where I would have seen it. I’m sorry, Jeff old pal.

I totally should have known you’d be on the right side of history, and your Media Relations Director Matt Lazier, who ripped me a new one, was absolutely right. I should have emailed him and asked if you had issued a statement somewhere instead of assuming that if you had you would have made it public. I was a fool to think the university’s media relations director would make public your DACA statement. My bad. ∆ The Shredder wants Pirate’s Cove users to go through the spanking machine.

Underestimated Cal Poly and SLO gear up for a larger student population than anticipated

A

s first-year Cal Poly students line Grande Avenue to lay eyes on their campus for the first time, they’ll most certainly notice a massive construction project towering over the school’s stone-gray entrance sign.

It’s impossible to miss: a nearly half-amillion square-foot site with seven, halfbaked three- to five-story structures— which will eventually serve as dorms for 1,450 students.

The dorms aren’t ready for move-in this year—that’ll wait another year—but this incoming class of 2021, their slightly older peers, and San Luis Obispo city residents sure wish they were. And while they’re wishing, they’d also ask for Fremont Hall back, a student residence put out of

offers at a higher rate than ever, as well as more upper-classmen who decided to return to school.

University officials explained the increase as a miscalculation. A blip. An unintentional deviation from the “steady state” growth plan they’ve committed to publicly. It was a phenomenon that was also experienced at other CSUs (California State University) and UCs (University of California) this year.

Administrators are still trying to get to the bottom of why it happened.

They believe it’s partially linked to the removal of the “early decision” option for Cal Poly applicants. Early decision was eliminated last year because it supposedly disadvantaged students from low-income

commission last year by flooding.

Beds are sorely needed because Cal Poly is expecting 800 to 850 more students than it planned for this year, according to recent university estimates (final enrollment numbers won’t be available until October, Cal Poly said). The unanticipated increase consists mostly of freshmen and transfer students who accepted their admission

backgrounds who were reluctant to commit to Cal Poly, the most expensive CSU, before financial aid packages were dealt.

While the strategy seemed to work—Cal Poly anticipates a 30 percent increase in under-represented minorities in the incoming class compared to last year’s—it also made the admissions process less predictable, officials said.

Now, Cal Poly and SLO are facing at least four years of higher-thanexpected student enrollment before its infrastructure can catch up.

“Cal Poly has been planning to be at steady state enrollment for several years until we can add more residence halls, faculty offices, and teaching space. … This was an unplanned enrollment increase,” Cal Poly Vice President for Student Affairs Keith Humphrey explained to the SLO City Council in an Aug. 15 presentation. “I think it will take several years for us to correct it and get it back down.”

To make things work for this year, Cal Poly has added 1,000 beds to the Poly Canyon Village and Cerro Vista apartment complexes. In some apartments, that means doubling their capacity with bunk beds (for example, a four-person becoming an eight-person suite). Additional faculty and staff were hired; more study and TOWN AND GOWN Cal Poly Vice President for Student Affairs Keith Humphrey talks to the SLO City Council about the higher-than-expected student enrollment this fall.

classroom spaces were created; the IT infrastructure got boosted; and classes and sections were added and rescheduled to try to accommodate higher demand.

While Cal Poly student Erica Hudson and recent graduate Sinead Schouten told New Times student housing was already overcrowded and classes and class sections already too competitive, the school’s administration believes its efforts will suffice.

“The physical campus can safely and efficiently accommodate all enrolled students for the coming year,” university spokesman Matt Lazier wrote in an email to New Times, adding that Cal Poly consulted with the state Fire Marshal’s POPULATION continued page 19 PHOTO BY PETER JOHNSON

Office to make sure all of the reconfiguring passed fire safety tests. “The university is taking every step to ensure the student experience inside and outside of the classroom meets the high standards our students expect and deserve.”

For the city of SLO, the student increase translates to more impacts to neighborhoods, the local rental housing market, and the demand for municipal services like fire and police protection.

“We have a lot of impact locally,” SLO City Councilmember Andy Pease told Humphrey following his Aug. 15 presentation. “When we had our chance to meet with the president and go over the master plan, the commitment to us, which we then shared with the community, was steady state [enrollment].”

SLO is currently calculating what it thinks the student increase will mean in direct costs to the community. The city will then bring that analysis to Cal Poly in the coming days to negotiate a compensation agreement, which the school says it’s open to obliging.

“We maintain an open line of communication with city officials,” Lazier said. “The university is always willing to pay its fair share.”

SLO anticipates impacts to its emergency response services, law enforcement, water and sewer, transit service, neighborhood wellness initiatives, and IT infrastructure.

“Emergency response is a big one,” SLO Community Development Director Michael Codron said. “We have to monitor that closely and make sure we’re not inadvertently underserving some other part of the city.”

In addition to expected increases in the number of noise and alcohol-related complaints and police calls, the presence of another neighborhood impact—long-term off-campus parking—is anticipated.

Cal Poly is banning freshmen from bringing cars to campus this year, a decision school officials say was two years in the making. The city is concerned, though, that students will still bring their cars and park them in off-campus neighborhoods that are unmetered and don’t require parking permits.

“What’s going to happen is we’re going to get complaints,” Codron said. “We’re going to have to spend a lot more time tagging vehicles and then checking back in 72 hours to see if they’ve moved.”

The recent interplay between SLO and Cal Poly over the higher enrollment is just another chapter in the long-standing and ongoing negotiation between the two institutions. Cal Poly has pledged to house 65 percent of its students by 2035. Last year saw a dip in student living on campus—down to 34 percent from 37 percent. While this year could mark another setback in that goal, the university leadership believes it’s still on the right track.

The new dorms on Grand Avenue will offer some relief next year. Eventually, Cal Poly plans to require second-year students to live on campus.

“We have not dropped that, and plans are continuing to advance,” Humphrey told the City Council. “We’re in a very aggressive campaign with our student body to help them understand the academic value of living on campus.” ∆ Staff Writer Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Foothill’s food show Drive south from Cal Poly and find almost everything your tummy could wish for

F

oothill Boulevard is almost an extension of Cal Poly’s campus, or, at least, it feels that way sometimes. The restaurants that line the street south of campus are usually filled with students, similar to much of the housing in the adjacent neighborhoods.

Foothill food first-timers, here’s a miniature guide to the cuisine that you can stuff your face with while saving a little change in your pocket.

SLODOCO

793F Foothill Blvd.

What is it? If the sugary scent of doughnuts wafting in the air isn’t enough of an indication of what’s ahead, the giant decorative doughnuts hanging inside will clue you in. The 24/7 one-stop doughnutsshop has sugar, spice, and everything fried.

Quality? All of the classics are present, but SLODOCO steps it up a notch with speciality doughnuts like barrelhouse milk chocolate stout, with beer-infused frosting and a pretzel rim. There’s even vegan and gluten-free options to enjoy.

And they’re equal parts delicious and visually appealing.

Cost? Doughnuts run between $.50 and $3 a piece, depending on the kind.

Deals? If you buy a dozen doughnuts, it’s a bit cheaper at $11.50. For the doughnut holes, cream puffs, and apple fritter bites, which are normally $.50 a piece, three are priced at $2.25.

Kona’s Deli

977 Foothill Blvd.

What is it? Kona’s Deli’s is a longestablished local sandwich shop that serves up a variety of tasty sandwiches made with fresh ingredients. The deli is decorated in a kitschy Hawaiian surftheme, and is a hot spot for hungry Cal Poly students.

Quality? This ain’t no Subway. Kona’s sandos are made from scratch with high quality ingredients. According to their website, they even use their own recipes to make the bread they use.

Cost? The deli’s selection of specialty sandwiches cost about $7.50. You can PHOTO BY ERICA HUDSON

build your own 6-inch sub for $7.50, or a foot-long for $10.90. Adding a drink, chips, cookie to make it combo costs a little more.

Deals? Students can get an “everyday sando” for $6.50 every day between 4 and 7 p.m. The deli also has a different deal for each day of the week, such as offering 10 percent off all sandwiches on Saturday before 11:30 a.m., and 30 percent off on Mondays if you show them your Cal Poly ID. —Chris McGuinness

Milestone Tavern

972 Foothill Blvd.

What is it? Hip, gastro pub fare. Think simple comfort food meets fancy eats.

Quality? Eh, it can be hit or miss.

While they have an impressive 20-something beers on tap (many of which are local), the entrees can be pricy and don’t always deliver (I’m PHOTO BY RYAH COOLEY

The Neighborhood Acai & Juice Bar

973 Foothill Blvd., No. 107 What is it? A delightful offering of cold pressed juices, acai bowls, and smoothies.

This is where you go when you feel healthy AF after sweating out of every single pore in your body at Spark Yoga next door and you want to keep the good vibes going.

Quality? The juices are organic and the produce is sourced from high-quality suppliers and local farmers, according to the website.

Cost? It’s pretty spendy. Expect to part with at least $5 or so for a smaller juice and double digits or close to it for an acai bowl.

Deals? If you want to get a pack of bottled juices for a juice cleanse, you can save a few dollars that way.

Nucci’s Pizza

SUGAR AND SPICE SLODOCO is open 24/7 for sweet junkies of every sleeping schedule.

PHOTO BY KAREN GARCIA

CORK ’N’ BOTTLE With plenty of options to choose from sometimes you have to go with the classic cheeseburger, fries, and a drink.

looking at you, short rib mac n’ cheese with the overcooked meat for a hefty $15). Maybe wait until Mom and Dad come to visit before hitting this one up.

Cost? Appetizers run $7 to $13, salads and sandwiches can cost $10 to $18, and entrees will set you back around $14 to $18.

Deals? During happy hour save $2 on cocktails and draft beer weekdays from 4 to 6 p.m. and score a small selection of apps on the cheap.

—Ryah Cooley

MILESTONE TAVERN Appetizers like poke nachos and local beer like Barrelhouse’s Mango IPA is where it’s at when dining at Milestone Tavern.

785 Foothill Blvd.

What is it? Yummy and affordable pizza and pasta, galore. Huzzah!

Quality? Solid. Nucci’s is way fancier and better than say Domino’s or Fatte’s, but without the steep prices of say Giuseppe’s.

Now that’s amore.

Cost? Appetizers like meatballs are only $4, pizzas run from $6.45 to $22.75, and sandwiches and pastas will set you back anywhere from $9 to $15.45. A tray of lasagna costs a whopping $45.

Deals? From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. a slice of cheese pizza is only $3, and combos of different slices paired with a salad or sandwich range from $8.75 to $9.75. For dinner a two-topping 12-inch pizza with two salads is $21.95.

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPS French toast, bacon, and eggs will run you $10 at Charlie’s Place. You can add bottomless mimosas to your Sunday brunch for $14.

791 Foothill Blvd.

What is it? Mexican food Quality? This is the perfect spot for huge portions of food—more bang for your buck. You could order just about any plate or combo, eat half and save the rest for lunch tomorrow. I ordered a taco salad with carne asada and it was huge. All the ingredients tasted fresh, and the salsa added a nice kick of spice with every bite.

The restaurant is under construction so no outdoor seating, but there’s plenty of space to chow down inside.

Cost? My taco salad was $7.99, well worth the price. You could walk into Chilie Peppers with about $12 and get a plate and drink.

Deals? Tuesday and Wednesday Chilie Peppers has dollar tacos. From 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday burritos are $6.49.

FOOTHILL FOODS from page 20

Cork ‘N’ Bottle Liquor Store & Deli

774 Foothill Blvd., SLO What is it? It’s a one-stop shop for booze of all kinds and a deli that serves everything from cold-cut sandwiches to burgers.

Quality? The service at the deli is pretty quick, and the cook along with the cashier were extremely friendly and attentive. They have different burgers, sandos, fried food, and salads to choose from. I went with the classic cheeseburger. It had all the trimmings: lettuce, tomato, onion, cheddar cheese (your choice), thousand island dressing and a quarter pound of beef, but it was no In-n-Out. Cost? My cheeseburger came with fries and a drink and totaled about $7 plus tax. You could easily walk onto the deli with $10 and get the whole package—fries and a drink.

Deals? None.

—Karen Garcia

Charlie’s Place

981 Foothill Blvd.

What is it? American/Mexican restaurant and bar Quality? A dependably tasty, budgetfriendly, comfort-food joint. Charlie’s has all the breakfast classics, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, wings, burritos, salads—you name it—as well as great deals on drinks (yes, alcoholic drinks so bring your IDs). It’s got a bar, an outdoor patio, and a fun atmosphere (check out the karaoke and trivia nights). Sure, the food isn’t Novo or Luna Red, but it usually doesn’t disappoint and your wallet stays intact.

Cost? Great value when compared to other restaurants/bars around SLO—at a recent breakfast visit, I got cinnamon French toast, bacon, and eggs for $10.

Deals? Sundays, bottomless mimosas are $14 per person. On Saturdays, bloody marys and screwdrivers are $5. Taco Tuesday is $1.25 tacos and $2.50 Coronas; Wing Wednesday is $.75 cent wings. Offers both morning and evening Happy Hours.

—Peter Johnson

Taj Palace

795 Foothill Blvd.

What is it? Killer Indian food that you can have for lunch and dinner.

Quality? You might not always get the fastest service, but the food is top notch. The veggie samosas are flaky, savory, and delicious. I personally really like the vegetable pakora (deep fried, with savory Indian spices).

The chicken tikka masala does not disappoint, and the buffet is not bad at all. Plus, the naan is fresh, hot, and comes in flavors from garlic to paneer.

Cost? Apps, soups, salad, and naan run from $1.95 to $7.95. Main dishes run from $8.95 to $17.95.

Deals? Daily lunch buffet and Tuesday dinner buffet. ∆ —Camillia Lanham

Planting seeds

PHOTO COURTESY OF CUESTA COLLEGE AGRICULTURE INSTRUCTOR DEAN HARRELL

Cuesta College builds the foundation for an agriculture community in both its north and south county campuses

A

griculture plays a huge role in feeding the growing world and contributing to the changing economy. For Cuesta College professor Amy Stapp, the greater impact that agriculture has on the world has influenced her life and she now works to teach that idea to her students.

She is also one of the many professors helping to create an agriculture community on Cuesta’s campuses with new courses, a degree, a plant facility, and a collegiate club.

Stapp grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and was immersed in the family business, dairy processing.

She later held a marketing position for Foster Farms in Livingston, California, where she covered the fresh chicken department.

But being in charge of the brand didn’t limit her from connecting with and learning about the other departments at Foster Farms’ headquarters. She was able to dip into the sales, operations, purchasing, and fi nance departments.

“The dynamic nature of selling a product with a 10-day shelf life really gave me a sense of the dynamic nature

of agriculture. It’s moving, it’s changing, and it’s alive,” she said.

All of these departments work together to bring a product to the tables of many homes. That network has really stayed with Stapp, and it’s something that she instills in her students. Within Cuesta’s agriculture business program, Stapp teaches an intro to business course that looks into the different pieces and parts that make up a business.

“When I teach my class, we talk about that reality that agriculture feeds the world and how much is going on in terms of innovation,” she said.

“Some students really connect with that idea and feel really purposeful in their studies.”

The agriculture business program is relatively new to the college. Stapp said it’s 2 years old with about 237 students declaring ag as their major.

“We developed this program really recognizing the nature of this community and the high school programs that are very rich in agriculture,” she said.

The program is expanding for the fall CUESTA AG continued page 24

CUESTA AG from page 22

2017-18 semester with a new associate degree in plant and science and a certificate in agriculture mechanics.

The degree is for students who are interested in ag and want to go the science route, whether it be horticulture or veterinary. The mechanics certification enables students to excel in the operation of machinery used in the trade, opening the doors for later courses in industrial power.

Cuesta’s North County campus is constructing a new plant facility that includes a green house, and it’s nearing completion. There, students will be able to take a lecture and lab course that deals with the ins and outs of plants and the soils that help them grow.

The college’s students will also be able to take some of the courses associated with the plant and science degree, such as the new soils and plants class, as part of their general education.

“You don’t have to be an ag student to be able to get your hands dirty and grow some plants, understand the makeup of different soils, and what it takes to grow things,” Stapp said.

Stapp has also been a key leader in forming a college chapter of the Future Farmers of America. Cuesta Future Farmers of American (CFFA) is a part of a national organization that specializes in agricultural education

and prepares students for successful careers and continued information on the growing field.

Kourtney Russel, a current student at Cuesta with a declared major in ag business, is the current president of CFFA. She’s seen the agriculture program flourish for the college and believes that starting an FFA chapter has helped the program grow. Members get together to talk about current events within the broader ag community, what they can do to give back, and listen to guest speakers who come in as well.

“I think a lot of people are excited because it builds an ag community on campus and it’s great for networking,” Russel said.

Being a member of the chapter can give the students a leg up on meeting industry leaders and attending association mixers. Russel said that last year students were able to attend the Cattle Women’s Association mixer.

“We’re lucky to have a county that is so diverse with all the different things we can produce and all the people we get to know from all the different niches in the industry,” she said. Δ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Calling All Cars

BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS

Getting around The pros and cons of getting to campus

I

t’s a new school year for all you bright-eyed Cal Poly SLO and Cuesta Community College students, and whether you are returning for yet another year, or embarking on your college experience for the first time, there’s a lot to think about before you sit down to your first class.

At some point you’re going to have to figure out exactly how to get yourself to and from your respective campuses.

Lucky for you, SLO offers a wide array of transportation options. Even luckier for you, New Times has taken it upon itself to lay out the good, bad, and ugly aspect of each so you can make an informed decision and get to your classes on time, thus avoiding flunking out and brining shame and disgrace upon your family name. You can thank us later.

Drive yourself

The first and most obvious option is to drive yourself in your own car. This is California after all; a state that— despite its size and population—is almost pathologically averse to public transportation.

As a student, having your own car gives you the freedom to go where you want, when you want, putting the control of your ability to get to Cal Poly or Cuesta firmly in your hands instead of at the whims of occasionally unreliable buses, expensive rideshare apps, or flaky friends.

But rolling around on your own set of wheels isn’t always a cakewalk. For starters, Cal Poly isn’t allowing freshman to bring their vehicles on campus, so if this year at the university is your first, you are out of luck. Even if you are able to bring you car onto Cal Poly’s campus, it’s going to cost you. If you live on campus, an annual parking permit will set you back $600. Non-resident Cal Poly students can purchase temporary permits for as little as $5 for the day or $415 for an annual permit.

Cuesta College’s student parking fees are more reasonable: $2 at one of the

pay stations will get you a daily pass; a semester pass will set you back $30.

But finding a parking space, especially during peak class hours, is going to be a battle, so try get to campus early or the only thing you will be learning is new colorful swear words to scream as you circle the packed parking lot for the 20th time.

If you don’t have a car, you also have the option of jumping headfirst into the “gig economy” and using rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, but the cost can add up and getting a ride is still based on availability.

Take the bus

Using public transportation will save you the headache and cost of dealing with oncampus parking, and taking another car off the road is slightly more environmentally friendly (Al Gore would be so proud!).

The SLO County Regional Transit Authority operates fixed routes that span from Santa Maria to San Simeon. Bus routes 12 and 14 both run to and from Cuesta’s SLO campus. The RTA also offers three routes that stop at Cal Poly.

According to the RTA’s website, fares vary based on routes but range from $1.50 to $3. Cal Poly students can get 30day passes, which are subsidized by the university, and Cuesta College students can use any fixed route for free from Aug. 22 through Sept. 1. The cost of the unsubsidized RTA 30-day pass ranges from $44 to $64.

SLO Transit also operates its own bus service within the city, which Cal Poly also subsidizes for its students, making the service free. Unfortunately, the city buses do not have routes to Cuesta’s SLO campus.

But relying on pubic transportation means you are at the mercy of bus drivers, fixed scheduling, and the number of fellow riders. Scuttlebutt from students in the area is that during certain periods, midterms and finals especially, the buses can fill up fast, and may not be able to pick you up. One student said they made sure to catch a bus up to two hours prior to their class time at Cal Poly in order to get a seat.

Ride a bike

If you live close enough to your respective campus, riding a bicycle is a viable and cheap alternative to cars.

It can even be combined with local bus services to get you where you need to be.

Just imagine the feeling of cruising down one of SLO’s bike lanes with the wind in your hair while cranky, sedentary motorists stuck in traffic glare at you, envying your two-wheeled lifestyle!

As a bonus, SLO is an incredibly bikefriendly city, and sports 75 miles of bike paths, bike lanes, and on-street facilities.

Cuesta offers bike racks at its SLO Campus. Cal Poly is something of haven for cyclist students, boasting 6,500 bike rack spaces, and allowing students to rent secure bike storage lockers for $75 a year, or $25 a quarter.

But riding a bike also means sharing the road with California’s notoriously terrible drivers, leaving minor and serious collisions, injuries, and in the very worst cases, death, a possibility. Your best bet is to learn as much as you can about bike safety through the very informative Bike SLO County website, and stay safe and vigilant out on the roads.

In addition, while the there are wellmarked bike lanes and routes to Cal Poly, biking to Cuesta means choosing between riding on the narrow, two-lane O’Connor Road or sharing the road with speeding vehicles hurtling themselves down Highway 1. It’s pretty dicey.

OPERATION CLEAN SWEEP

MAKE YOUR SWEEPING COUNT Move your car off the street on sweep day

Put a note on the refrigerator, in your car, or on your phone to help you remember.

Thank you,

ADOPT DON’T SHOP!

Hitchhiking Just no.

In summation

It’s clear that there is a host of ways to get yourself to class each day, no matter how close or far you live from campus.

Like a roller coaster, each has its ups and downs. As a student, your best bet is to pick the mode of transportation that best suits your living arrangement, class schedule, and financial situation.

From the ground up Where you put your trash is an important step toward making Cal Poly a zero - waste campus

A

s Cal Poly pushes for a zero-waste future, the hardest part for the university is controlling the everyday stuff: the stuff that students, teachers, and faculty touch on a daily basis that might end up in the trash when it shouldn’t.

There are many sets of trash, recycling, and compost bins stationed in densely populated areas around campus like the University Union, Kennedy Library, and the dining halls. But some students have questioned whether or not the compost actually makes it to a proper facility or if it ended up in a landfill.

“We hear these rumors of, ‘They’re collecting compost and sending it to a landfill,’ and in some cases that’s true, especially with events. In events, we see really high contamination rates,” said Kylee Singh, sustainability coordinator for Cal Poly.

In areas where the composting is more

controlled, like the dining kitchens, food scraps are composted. More than 100 individual composting bins were distributed to apartments in Poly Canyon Village and Cerro Vista this February. At events, there is a higher volume of people throwing materials that could be composted or recycled in the trash and vice versa, but no one is there to go through the trash to separate out all the components at the end of the day.

Santa Maria-based company Engle & Grey collects compost from food facilities on campus. The company told Cal Poly that the contamination rates from the bins “was too high for them to take,” according to Singh. In separating out the bins, they found high levels of trash mixed in with the compost. The highest rate of contamination that Engle & Grey will accept is 2 percent.

During the last school year, each large compost bin got a laminated

green note stating that the Zero Waste Collaborative on campus was notified that the regional composter “will no longer be able to collect any items other than food scraps.” They no longer were able to compost biodegradable utensils, and were “actively exploring all options to reinstate full composting services.”

In the past five years, the recycling rates on campus have decreased, and trash audits are often filled with recyclable papers, plastics, and metals.

Singh said that in order for students to get better with composting, they’ll have to start by learning what materials go in each bin.

“It’s a really challenging piece of managing how people interact with their waste, and you only get a few seconds to convince someone one way or another,” Singh said.

LOCALLY MADE Cal Poly compost is made by students—by the campus, for the campus. It’s sold locally and supplies campus landscaping services and the organic farm.

Organic matters

Consistent with the “Learn by Doing” motto, on-site composting took off at Cal Poly in 1997 when Dr. Doug Williams turned the small operation into an enterprise project for bioresource and agricultural engineering students.

Today, Agricultural Operations Department staff and student employees oversee the composting unit. Overall, they tend to more than 6,000 acres of Cal Poly farmland and the Swanton Pacific Ranch, composed of 3,300 acres. In a year, they will process more than 10,500 cubic yards of manure, ground-up green waste, and wood chips that results in 3,500 cubic yards of finished compost.

“The composting operation helped us create a product that’s a benefit to our farming operation on campus; it also allows us to market and sell up to 1,000 yards of composting regularly,” said Kevin Piper, director of Cal Poly agricultural operations.

The compost produced by agricultural operations is separate from the food waste compost monitored by the Zero Waste Collaborative. It is a manurebased soil additive and is used primarily by landscaping services and in the organic farm.

To produce large volumes of compost, the department uses windrow composting methods, where organic matter is piled into long rows and mixed with a rusty red turner that hangs over them, redistributing everything to maintain an even temperature.

The mix is turned five times within a 15-day period. A temperature of 130 degrees Farhenheit or higher needs to be maintained for the duration to kill off any harmful bacteria or viruses.

“We have to be really cognizant of the fact that when we’re composting, we’re managing that process and managing the moisture content,” Piper said.

The finished product is sold in 8 pound bags at the plant shop, and bulk orders are available by request. Cal Poly compost is certified organic by the CDFA’s Organic Input Materials Program, registering fertilizer material to be used for crop and food production.

Take a hike

Almost smack dab in the middle of town, you get views of SLO on all sides up the rocky-covered expanse to this morro in the South Hills, as well as glimpses of a water storage facility and a radio tower. It’s pretty easy with less than 600 feet of elevation gain.

You can turn the 1.5-mile out and back hike on the Ridge Trail into a loop by traversing over the morro’s summit and down the steep terrain on the other side, turning right onto the Stoneridge Trail, and swinging around the base. Want to make it even longer?

You can access the lower hill above the water tower, which is a short hike to some prayer f lags.

Get to the Ridge Trail off Exposition Drive, and the Stoneridge Trail starts off Bluerock Drive above Stoneridge Park.

Get out of the dorms and into the open space

MORRO VIEW Take the Mariposa Trail into the Irish Hills for a sweet view of the Nine Sisters, volcanic peaks that stretch from San Luis Obispo into Morro Bay.

P

icturesque, oak-studded hills: it’s the cliché that surrounds San Luis Obispo. But it’s true—the open spaces surrounding the city are beautiful, spring, summer, or winter, and they’re just asking for you to venture into them. There are too many to count, and I’m only including my favorites in this quick-and-dirty rundown of trails that are within reach, whether you have a car, bike, or need to take the bus.

Reservoir Canyon

This is a favorite of mine, with creek side hiking, a waterfall, sweeping views that stretch from San Luis Obispo to Pismo Beach, wildflowers in the spring, a tree swing, a radio tower you can climb, and a rocky bench built into the side of the hill.

But, if you want to beat the crowds and the heat, it’s best to get your butt out of bed early on a Saturday or Sunday. You can reach Reservoir Canyon’s summit from one of two trailheads.

Take Highway 101 north of San Luis Obispo, turn right on Reservoir Canyon, and take until it dead ends at the trailhead for a 5.6-mile up and back with 1,350 feet of elevation gain. Or take Lizzie Street to its dead end behind San Luis Obispo High School for a steep 4.1-mile up and down High School Hill with 1,492 feet of elevation gain.

My friend calls it the “hill from hell.”

Johnson Ranch Open Space

Looking for something quick after school (work) during the middle of the week? This frequently hiked loop is kind of perfect for a late afternoon jaunt. It’s a mellow meander through oak groves and open grassland, a stint alongside a couple of creek beds (they run in the spring), and the option to head into the Irish Hills.

Occasionally, you’ll encounter a cow or six. Watch out for mountain bikes.

You can make it shorter or longer, depending on how much time you have.

It can be a 3-plus-mile loop or a 2.5-mile loop with a couple of hundred feet of total elevation gain, but it’s definitely an up and down, up and down, up and down sort of hike.

Take Highway 101 south, get off on South Higuera Street exit, and take a left onto Ontario Road to run right into the trailhead’s parking lot.

South Hills Open Space

Bishop Peak Open Space can be accessed from a number of spots near Los Osos Valley Road. Careful not to get lost, though. Most trailheads have a map for you to check out upon entry, and the different trails are labeled with telltale wooden stakes.

My personal preference is the Mariposa Trail off Prefumo Canyon.

You can takes the uphill climb to Morro View—it has views of, yes, the morros (volcanic peaks, but not volcanoes) from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay (also known as the Nine Sisters, and yes, there are nine of them). It’s a little more than 3 miles out and back with less than 1,000 feet of elevation gain, and you can even make it a loop by cutting back down the Bog Thistle Trail, which switchbacks down through a rare thistle only found in San Luis Obispo.

Of course, you can make your hike as long as you’d like in this trail system, you’ve just got to be out by dark.

If you can beat the crowds at this most popular hike in SLO, it’s a beautiful place for a climb up to the tallest, most boulder-covered morro (and people do rock-climb out there).

On the weekends, Bishop Peak is crawling with folks looking to move their bones. I’m not saying you should, but you could skip class one morning and head up the approximately 4-mile round-trip trail with more than 1,000 feet of elevation gain.

There are three access points: Highland Drive, Patricia Drive, and Foothill Boulevard. Don’t feel like climbing? You can catch the Felsman Loop Trail around the base of Bishop, which meanders through oaks, creeks, and cactus with views toward Morro Bay and the edge of SLO. Δ Editor Camillia Lanham is always looking for the next hike at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Irish Hills Natural Preserve

These hills are seemingly boundless, and definitely alive with oaks, chaparral habitat, and even a “bog.” Lots of mountain bikers love the trail system out here, which

RANDOMNESS The hike up the Reservoir Canyon Trail is more than just an uphill climb. You can find a metal teepee, a tree swing, and a stone bench along the way.

SPELL IT OUT Transgender artist RawfeyL’s work in his most recent exhibit is largely made out of recycled canvases and repurposed materials.

That’s so metal

There’s crafty and then there’s craftsmen. Learn a little about the latter while learning how to make rings at the Metalsmithing 101 Workshop at Left Coast Art Studio in Los Osos on Sept. 18 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Learn the basics of metalsmithing including soldering, pickling, and finishing. Participants will also go over tools and safety. Each attendee will solder several rings to bring home. The cost is $80 per person. Tools will be provided, and project materials are included in the workshop fee. Space is limited. Visit squareup.com/store/sweetbella to sign up.

Art in motion

Bring a little color to your yoga practice at the Glow Flow Yoga Party on Sept. 23 at Yoga Center SLO. The event is from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. and costs $10 to attend. This class will showcase the talents of DJ HyFi for a special Saturday night class with yoga instructor Meg Whitney. This class is suitable for all levels of yoga experience and will feature black lights, so wear white and neon clothing for a truly glowing flow class. Visit sloyogacenter.com for tickets and more information.

Awareness through art

Take not one, not two, but three whole days to really soak in the work of Indian performance artist B. Ajay Sharma as a part of the Inverse Performance Art Festival at Cuesta College’s Harold J. Miossi Gallery from Sept. 28 to 30.

Sharma’s work for this show, Cultivate the Hunger Land, focuses on the advancement of climate change, an increasingly unstable economy, and the increasing food crisis, with current studies showing that suicide in the farming sector has increased by 80 percent this year.

Sharma is a contemporary visual artist. Born in Jharkhand, India, Sharma formally studied painting in two of India’s renowned art institutions. Working in New Delhi and Varanasi, India, and Grazlema, Spain, Sharma uses a wide range of media including drawing, painting, sculpture, conventional and revived techniques of photography, durational and site-specific installations, as well as new technologies.

The complete self Raw Dick Picks art show to raise funds for transgender artist’s bottom surgery

G

rowing up there was one thing RawfeyL Gene Burge really wanted but was told he could never have: a penis.

This was in the 1960s in Texas and RawfeyL was born a female. At that time, surgery for gender reconstruction wasn’t really an option like it is now.

Today, the 50-something Los Osos artist is happily living as a trans man and even worked as a background actor on the Amazon show Transparent. In 2014, he parted ways with painfully large breasts. The surgery cost around $10,000 and was paid for by RawfeyL’s friend and local Cambria author Catherine Ryan Hyde. In an effort to truly live as himself, the artist is now looking to have what’s commonly called “bottom surgery,” to construct male genitalia. That’ll cost a lot more than top surgery, around $80,000, but this time RawfeyL is planning to raise the money himself.

His art show, Raw Dick Picks, is currently on display at the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Center Gallery in downtown San Luis Obispo through Oct. 15, and about half of the pieces prominently feature, you guessed it, penises.

RawfeyL’s work features paintings on recycled canvases and multimedia pieces made from everyday objects.

“Like me,” RawfeyL said. “I’m recycling my body. I’m making dicks until I’m done. I move on as an artist and as myself.”

Party with no pants on

Proceeds from RawfeyL Gene Burge’s art show, Raw Dick Picks, will go toward the transgender artist’s bottom surgery. The exhibit will be on display at the GALA Center Gallery through Oct. 15, with a reception on Oct. 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. For gallery information, visit galacc.org.

That is to say, once he’s raised enough money for bottom surgery, the penis-inspired art will come to a halt. He did the same with his breast-inspired art that explored his desires and decision to have them removed. Those older pieces make up the second half of the show and include a series of bras made from glass and wire, one of which resides in Ellen DeGeneres’ personal collection.

While some of RawfeyL’s pieces are more whimsical than others, they are all definitely dicks, there’s nothing abstract about them. One of the more blatantly simple pieces, Surfboard, is a painting on a recycled canvas that shows the chest, torso, and erect penis of a surfer sitting on his board in the ocean.

Another piece, PlasDicks, features a series of rainbow colored phallic objects made from recycled containers of laundry detergent and shower poofs. RawfeyL said he made that piece with a particular buyer in mind: comedian Chelsea Handler, after she delivered a hilarious rant when a stranger sent her an unsolicited dick pic. In said rant, Handler posed the eternal question that all women ask: “Why does this keep happening?” No one knows, Chelsea, no one knows.

“Now I’m really into making clever statements,” RawfeyL said. “The dicks are just a tool to talk about something.”

In an even more playful piece, Boner, the artists pays homage to a sort of womanizer.

SELFIE Los Osos artist RawfeyL’s art show, Dick Picks, is in part an effort to raise money for gender reconstruction surgery.

The painting features a male skeleton with a red dildo consorting with a young and very much alive female lover. The Dia de Los Muertos inspired piece also shows a bottle of booze, candy skulls, and the traditional flowers and candles.

While the art on display represents RawfeyL’s past, present, and much longed for future, he also plans to make one last piece when his gender reconstruction surgery is complete.

“It will be all me, the real me, with no missing parts,” he said.

After the show wraps up in SLO, RawfeyL plans to take the exhibit to Los Angeles, and possibly even spots in Colorado, Seattle, and Portland, where he hopes to partner with universities and talk to students.

“I think you can be anything,” RawfeyL said.“You shouldn’t be anyone else’s expectation of you. What makes you better and happy?” ∆ Ryah Cooley, like all women everywhere, has received an unsolicited (and unwanted) dick pic.

LOVING OUT LOUD Michael Franti & Spearhead (pictured) headlines the Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival on Sept. 16, and Jamestown Revival headlines Sept. 17.

What’s in a name?

The Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival has arrived!

I

think they should be flattered. After all, getting a cease and desist demand from the owners of the Woodstock Music & Art Fair brand means that Castoro Cellars’ Beaverstock Music festival—now renamed the Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival—got so successful that owners of the original name of an event that happened 48 years ago decided that a family-owned winery in tiny Templeton on the opposite side of the continent was a threat. Ka-boom!

Being forced to rename was probably the best thing that could have happened to Beaverstock because it brought even more notoriety to this increasingly popular music festival, and seriously, Whale Rock is a lot cooler name than Beaverstock anyway. The event takes place at Castoro’s Whale Rock Vineyard (1315 N. Bethel Road) on Saturday, Sept. 16, and Sunday, Sept. 17 (daily from noon to 10 p.m.; all ages; $60 per day or $90 for both; available at whalerockmusicfestival.com).

First started in 2013 to celebrate Castoro Cellars’ 30th anniversary, the event was supposed to be a one-time thing. “Castoro,” by the way, means “Beaver” in Italian, and “Beaver” is Castoro Cellars’ owner Niels Udsen’s nickname. He and his wife, Bimmer, founded the winery in 1983, and now their sons Luke and Max and daughterin-law Lauren are all involved. That first Beaverstock event was so popular that the Udsen family decided to keep doing it year after year, in part because it gave them a chance to give back to the community.

Last year, for instance, the event raised $18,000 for TIMBA, the Templeton High School Band, and attendance hit a recordhigh 4,000 music, wine, art, yoga, and community lovers. Over all, the Udsens have raised more than $50,000 for local nonprofit organizations.

“What we’ve seen with our festival is really authentic organic growth,” Luke Udsen explained. “We’ve essentially built it from scratch and just learned PHOTO COURTESY OF INNA VISION

REGGAE, YO Inna Vision brings its reggae and dancehall sounds to The Siren on Sept. 15.

everything along the way. We now own much more of the infrastructure—stage, shade structures, etc.—than in the past, and we basically put it all together with a great tight-knit crew. Each year we add new elements, but all in all it gets easier since we’ve done it before.”

This year’s lineup is pretty stellar, and the entertainment is nonstop since the event features two stages in constant rotation. You’ll see everything from popular local acts such as Bear Market

Riot and Próxima Parada to national touring acts such as headliners Michael Franti & Spearhead and Jamestown Revival. Check the festival website for a complete lineup, but other highlights include Hot Buttered Rum, The Coffis Brothers, and Las Cafeteras.

“This year’s lineup is definitely our strongest ever and features a wide variety of genres,” Luke continued. “Many of the bands are relative unknowns here outside of Michael Franti, but don’t be fooled, they are top notch. For example, The Motet and Turkuaz are arguably two of the best funk groups on the scene, and The Suffers are a soul powerhouse. Jamestown Revival has that quintessential Austin sound with great songs to boot. The lineup really has something for everyone, and both days are equally as strong.”

It’s a super chill place to hang out for the entire family with a lot more to do than just listen to music. Big hats and sunscreen recommended!

“As always, the atmosphere of the festival is family friendly, laid back, and community oriented,” Luke added. “The kids’ area has expanded along with yoga and art. We’ve added a small vendor area with select local vendors. It’s a really open, fun place to be.”

There’s also a very good chance Saturday will sell out, so if you’re hoping to see Franti, put the paper down and buy tickets right now! Seriously! Go! Franti is currently at the top of his game, both artistically and spiritually.

The perpetually barefoot performer is in the midst of his Love Out Loud world tour, spreading his message of overcoming the chaos and division in the world with love and understanding. Instead of fighting hate with hate or anger with more anger, he’s preaching speaking STARKEY continued page 51 PHOTO COURTESY OF EARTH, WIND & FIRE

truth to power but speaking from a place of love and letting compassion lead the way.

“Now is the time we need to love out loud,” Franti said on a Facebook video podcast. “That’s the roadmap to the future.”

He also had a message for counter protestors of recent alt-right demonstrations: “Protests are a form of communication. You can communicate love or you can communicate hate. Right now, Nazis, white supremacists, [the] KKK, alt-right groups, anti-Semitic, Islamaphobic, misogynist, and antiLGBTQ groups are trying to make hate acceptable in our world. You want to oppose this hate and stand up for diversity and equality? We need you.

Online and in the streets. If you are opposing violence, be non-violent. You might be personally angry and want to punch a Nazi. But don’t let your anger, your pride, or your ego suck you into a confrontation that gets played on TV over and over again and makes the conversation focus only on violence rather than equality for all people. Right now we need everyone who cares to raise their voices for equality and diversity. Let’s stand together and show our strength through our solidarity. Stand up for love.”

Franti is surely a man for our times, and the Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival promises to be a celebration of the sort of community of which Franti speaks.

that’s when Vina Robles hosts a fouract reggae show with Pepper, Tribal Seeds, Fortunate Youth, and Aloha Radio (7 p.m.; all ages; $40 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). These are great alt-reggae acts that are expanding on the Jamaican genre.

More music …

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents have teamed up with Morro Bay’s newest nightclub, The Siren, to present Inna Vision and True Zion on Friday, Sept. 15 (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $12 presale at ticketfly.com or $15 at the door). This should be a killer night of reggae and dancehall sounds.

Transport yourself to the Sands Casino in Las Vegas and an evening with The Rat Pack—Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.— when the Clark Center hosts Diamond Horseshoe Productions’ A Toast to The Rat Pack on Saturday, Sept. 16 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $29 to $46 at 489-9444 or clarkcenter.org). Listen to Sebastian Anzaldo as Frank Sinatra sing “Come Fly With Me,” “Lady is a Tramp,” “My Way,” and “New York, New York.” Andy DiMino as Dean Martin will croon “Volare,” “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime,” and “That’s Amore.” And Lambus Dean as the legendary Sammy Davis Jr. will

perform “That Old Black Magic,” “Mr. Bojangles,” and “Candy Man.” Classic!

Get down with some excellent contemporary jazz courtesy of The Dave King Trucking Company at Cuesta’s CPAC this Saturday, Sept. 16 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $15 general or $10 for students and seniors at cpactickets.com). King played with The Bad Plus and is now touring with his own group featuring Chris Speed, Erik Fratzke, Chris Morrisey, and Brandon Wozniak. Jazz fans won’t want to miss it!

The Kristen Black Band returns to The Siren this Saturday, Sept.

16, for another night of rocking music inspired by Bonnie Raitt, Tom Petty, The Pretenders, The Rolling Stones, John Hiatt, and a whole bunch of other musical heroes to frontwoman Kristen Black (9 p.m.; 21-and-older; free). “The band is always stoked to play The Siren!” Black gushed. “The crew and vibe at The Siren are top notch, the sound and lighting are incredible, and the good people of Morro Bay and Los Osos are always up to rock!”

LA-based jazz vocalist Julie Kelly plays D’Anbino Vineyards with The Marshall Otwell Trio this Sunday, Sept. 17 (4 to 6:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $15 by calling 227-6800). Kelly recently made the Downbeat magazine Readers Poll’s “Top-10 Female Vocalists” list. Her latest CD, the bubbly Happy to Be, has

been garnering nationwide radio play.

Whether she’s interpreting ballads, bebop, or Brazilian music, she’s amazing.

Arnab Chakrabarty and Sanju Sahai will perform North Indian Classical Music on Monday, Sept. 18, in Cal Poly’s Spanos Theatre (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $14 general admission or $9 for students at 756-4849). Expect a program of ragas dating back hundreds of years, rich with improvisation. Chakrabarty will play the sarod, a long-necked, fretless, plucked lute. Sahai will accompany on the tabla, a pair of small, tuned, hand drums.

Dream pop act Winter opens for Cherry Glazerr at SLO Brew this Monday, Sept. 18 (10 p.m.; 18-andolder; $12 at ticketweb.com). Winter, the brainchild of Samira Winter and Nolan Eley, was formed in Boston, but when Samira moved to LA, she recruited Matt Hogan (guitar), Justine Brown (bass), and Garren Orr (drums). Singing in both English and Brazilian Portuguese, the quartet released its first full-length album—Supreme Blue Dream—in 2015 and are currently working on their followup, Etherality. ∆ Keep up with New Times Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey via Twitter at twitter. com/glenstarkey, friend him at facebook. com/glenstarkey, or contact him at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Facing fear

IT

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth, Ryah? Matinee What’s it worth, Karen? Matinee Where’s it showing? ? Downtown Centre, Sunset Drive-In, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy

Editor’s note: This week’s Split Screen was written by Arts Editor Ryah Cooley and Staff Writer Karen Garcia while Glen and Anna Starkey were on vacation.

F

rom director Andy Muschietti (Mama) comes the remake of the 1990 miniseries thriller IT, based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades. When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård), whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries. (135 min.)

Ryah: One of my earliest memories as a young child is having a clown lamp and blanket in my room and being scared out of my mind by both. Unfortunately I was way to young to have the ability to vocalize this to my parents, so you can imagine the kind of lifelong emotional scarring that ensued. As an adult I’ve never been one for scary movies, so needless to say I wasn’t really on board for IT as our Split Screen selection, but then Karen asked me, “WWGSD? (What would Glen Starkey do?),” and I knew my fate was sealed. So here’s the run down: King’s horrific clown monster Pennywise, who dwells in the sewers, is portrayed

by Skarsgård (Allegiant, Atomic Blonde) this time around—in the original, it was Tim Curry (Kinsey, The Rocky Horror Picture Show)—and is the cause of a fleet of missing children in the town of Derry, Maine. Everyone in the town seems pretty nonchalant about this, except for the children, who as the clown’s chosen victims are understandably terrified. Bill’s (Jaeden Lieberher of The Book of Henry) little brother Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott) is the first kid to vanish in the film’s opening sequence, leaving Bill desperate to find answers. Rounding out Bill’s crew of misfit friends looking to uncover the truth is the hilarious, smack-talking Richie (Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things fame), new kid Ben (Jeremy Ray Taylor), germaphobe Eddie (Jack Dylan Grazer), the slackingon-his bat-mitzvah-studying Stanley (Wyatt Oleff), the homeschooled kid Mike (Chosen Jacobs), and Beverly (Sophia Lillis)—the token girl of the group with a swirl of rumors surrounding her.

STRONGER TOGETHER A crew of self-described “loser” kids band together to find out what’s behind all of the kids in their town going missing in the film adaption of Stephen King’s novel, IT.

Karen: The film opens up on a rainy day with Georgie running after a paper boat floating down the street. He accidentally hits his head on a construction sign while his boat continues on. When he catches up to it, he’s too late as it’s fallen down a storm drain. When he peers into the drain he’s startled by Pennywise the clown who coaxes Georgie closer with talk of a carnival in the sewers. After gaining some of Georgie’s trust, Pennywise savagely bites Georgie’s arm off before reaching for his leg, and then the scene cuts to black, leaving you with more than a bit of anxiety for little Georgie. Fast-forward to the present and Georgie’s big brother Bill is left to taking blueprints of the city from his dad’s office to figure out where Georgie could be—all the while hoping his little brother is still alive. His plans are crushingly halted when his father yells at Bill to stop inventing plans because Georgie is dead. Sheesh, way to suck the empathy from a kid who lost his sibling, he was just trying to help! School’s out and the summer is in full swing, but Bill’s friends are somewhat reluctant to help him solve the mystery; they don’t want to be the missing kid on the next poster.

What makes matters worse is Pennywise starts introducing himself to each member of the losers’ gang, manifesting as their worst fear. It starts with his calling card, a bright red balloon, or if you’re close enough to piping of any kind, you’ll hear voices coming from below. After he’s scared you enough, he sometimes appears after the pop of the balloon when the kids are left in their most vulnerable state.

Ryah: The thing about IT is that it’s a movie that a 12-year-old would find scary,

but it’s done extremely well. Honestly, the scariest parts of the film have nothing to do with the murderous clown and everything to do with the very real shit these kids are dealing with. Bill has zero empathy or support from his parents over the loss of his brother; Beverly is dealing with her ultra creepy, lecherous dad (nothing super graphic is shown, but it’s blatantly implied that he’s molesting her); Mike is the only homeschooled and black kid in town who lost his parents in a house fire; and everyone is getting the shit kicked out of them by the town bully Henry (Nicholas Hamilton), who apparently has a lot of rage built up inside because his dad is a hard-ass cop. In one scene we see Henry take a knife and attempt to carve his name into Ben’s stomach. It’s all kinds of messed up. Like Starkey would (and did) say, IT works best as a coming of age story about facing your fears even when you feel vulnerable, rather than a straight-up, jumping-out-of-yourseat scary movie. That is, provided you’re a grown-up who has long gotten over your clown issues. Despite the majority of the cast being under 18, these young actors all deliver stellar performances. In particular, I’m excited to see where Lieberher, Wolfhard, and Lillis’ careers go as they all grow up and continue to hone their craft.

Oh, and to the jerk that left a red balloon in the hallway outside the theater room, your gesture was not appreciated. If you’re looking strictly to be scared out of your mind, then I’d say this movie isn’t worth a full-priced ticket, better to go for a matinee.

Karen: All in all the film was a pretty good adaptation of the original novel and the mini series that came out in 1990. I wasn’t too sold on Skarsgård’s

performance as Pennywise. Sure, he was scary looking but it was just makeup and special effects. What made Tim Curry’s performance as Pennywise so scary in the ’90s was how much of a creepy old man he was with regular clown makeup. I agree that the scariest scenes in the movie are with the parents, who are 100 times more horrific than Pennywise—minus a creepy headless body running toward the screen.

And where are these so-called parents when Pennywise wreaks havoc on these kids? And why doesn’t this town care that kids are mysteriously going missing one by one? We find out that Pennywise comes out every 27 years to feed on children once the gang realizes that they have to stop the clown before they go missing, too. They also realize the power they have together as a group. They aren’t scrawny little kids anymore who can’t defend themselves from Henry the psycho bully. If they band together, the gang comes to the conclusion that their worst fears can be conquered, but can Pennywise truly be taken down? ∆ This week’s Split Screen was written by Arts Editor Ryah Cooley and Staff Writer Karen Garcia.

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it up? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Fair Oaks, Bay, Park, Galaxy Reese Witherspoon stars as Alice Kinney, a recently separated single mom and interior designer relocating from New York to her late legendary filmmaker father’s estate in Hollywood, in the somewhat entertaining and interesting, but ultimately ungrounded and directionless rom-com that is Home Again.

After 15 years of marriage, Alice decides to jump ship from her preoccupied music executive husband, Austen (Michael Sheen), and moves with her two young girls to Los Angeles. The story picks up with Alice sobbing in her childhood bathroom on her 40th birthday, interrupted by her kids Isabel and Rosie (Lola Flanery and Eden Grace) who have their first day of school in LA. Simultaneously, we meet a trio of aspiring filmmaker white dudes (unrelated to Alice) in their mid-20s: Harry (Pico Alexander), George (Jon Rudnitsky), and Teddy (Nat Wolff). A director, writer, and actor, respectively, they’re scrapping and crawling to get one of their scripts picked up by a production company.

Alice goes out drinking on her birthday night and makes acquaintances with the three youngsters at a bar, taking Harry back to the house for a sloppy make-out. It turns out all three of the guys crashed at Alice’s house, and the next morning they realize she’s the daughter of John Kinney, a filmmaker they all respect. Alice’s mom (Candice Bergen) comes over and takes to the trio, convincing Alice to let them stay in their guesthouse while they try to get their movie picked up.

At its very core, Home Again is about two things: the oftenabsurd chase to achieve the Hollywood dream, and the struggle of an extremely privileged white woman to find herself and her confidence amid a failing marriage. While this premise likely doomed the movie from being good from the start, for some reason I found myself pretty engaged and entertained by it. The characters are funny and thought-out and have good chemistry.

If you’re from LA or have spent time there, you’ll recognize the culture and appreciate the portrayal and satire.

The main problem I have with Home Again is that the main character Alice really takes a backseat to the three young male filmmakers as the movie progresses. We lose a sense of her character arc and what her purpose is. That’s strange to see with Witherspoon as the lead, given her chops and usually strong presence. Home Again gets off to a good start before it kind of deteriorates into wishy-washy ridiculousness by the end. But I still thought the overall performances were kind of charming and original.

He’s a doting albeit estranged dad to Sadie Logan (Farrah Mackenzie), who lives with her surly remarried mother Bobbie Jo Chapman (Katie Holmes). Broke and feeling cheated out of his job; he enlists his bartender brother Clyde and hairdresser sister Mellie (Riley Keough) to rob the racetrack. Things get complicated after that.

They need a demolition expert to get to the cash, which is shuffled from concession areas via pneumatic tubes. The only guy they know is Joe Bang (Daniel Craig), who’s got five more months on his sentence, but Jimmy and Clyde claim they have a plan to break him out and back into jail if he agrees to help, which he does provided his brothers Fish (Jack Quaid) and Sam Bang

What makes it all so comical is the Logan family curse of bad luck and the general perception that the Logans are a bunch of redneck idiots. What follows is a Rube Goldberg-level complicated plan with layers upon layers of intrigue, and a lot of funny moments.

The whole premise plays on the idea of misperception of Jimmy Logan as well as knowing the various players’ weaknesses.

For instance, for the jailbreak to work, Jimmy has to know that Warden Burns’ (Dwight Yoakam) pride will delay him reporting a jail riot. Likewise, the Logans have to understand that their plan will leave the speedway unable to track the amount of money stolen and realize that they’ll be interested in closing the

In the first film of the Sailor Moon franchise, The Promise of The Rose (also known as Sailor Moon R: The Movie), the plot is a side story to the original series, taking place after the second season of the Sailor Moon anime show. Usagi (Sailor Moon) and her crew work together to defeat a flower-monster named Glycina who plans to drain the energy from Tokyo’s population with her xenian blossoms.

In The Promise of The Rose, floral and cosmic motifs are beautifully sprinkled throughout the film, and it’s quite aesthetically pleasing. One of my favorite moments is when the crew is battling Glycina to protect Earth and save Usagi’s boyfriend. The crew has a tender moment up on the magenta, flower-covered xenian planet while Sailor Moon is momentarily held dead by Glycina’s manipulated host, Fiore. In the end, they all make it back to Earth, but it’s only after Sailor Moon powers the group back on a chunk of rock with a crystal shaped like a succulent, emitting bright pink light.

The animation style of creator Naoko Takeuchi is what drew me to Sailor Moon as a kid. Sailor Moon is always radiating with vibrant colors and iridescent sparkles reminiscent of a Lisa Frank sticker sheet. Beyond the looks, as an adult, I truly believe that Sailor Moon instills great values into its viewers.

Takeuchi gifts her viewers with themes of protecting your friends no matter what, and to always stand up for what you believe in it. Seeing that represented by a fierce group of girls who will always stay on the right side of justice, knowing no limits, was and continues to be inspiring for me. I mean, if your love for your friends doesn’t include traveling to another planet to rescue them from a water prison like the sailor scouts did, can you really say you’ve got their back?

Of course, all of this is further complicated by Special Agent Sarah Grayson (Hilary Swank), who unlike the racetrack owners and her superiors, doesn’t want to drop the investigation.

Between the difficulties we don’t see coming, the close familial relationships that add emotional resonance to the proceedings, and the hugely entertaining and wildly colorful cast of characters— including Seth MacFarlane as pompous Brit Max Chilblain, a rich energy drink maven and race car sponsor—Logan Lucky is a blast!

RUTHLESS A team of special agents must work together to stop a war from starting in the Middle East in American Assassin. guitar classic, “Rumble,” Martin Scorsese marvels, “It is the sound of that guitar ... the aggression.” Wray was the first to deploy thumping power chords and hone distortion, carving out a new guitar sound that influenced rock ’n’ roll forever. But as a Native American, Wray’s music was a threat—and it was treated as such. Blues pioneer Charlie Patton, cherished jazz singer Mildred Bailey, and metaphysical wizard Jimi Hendrix are among the many music greats who have Native American heritage and have created their distinctive music amid the attempted cleansing of indigenous culture from the country. Their music was not even meant to exist. Using playful re-creations and little-known stories, alongside concert footage, audio archives, and interviews with living legends, this deeply insightful film cements how some of our most treasured artists and songs found their inspiration in ancient, native melodies and harmonies that were infused with a desire to resist.

TULIP FEVER What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm From director Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl) and writer Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) comes Tulip Fever, set in 17th century Amsterdam.

While the film is being hailed by many as a “sexy thriller,” to me it reads more like a dark comedy. In terms of visual aesthetics (which are stunning) and humor, it reminded me a lot of a Wes Anderson film. Sophia (Vikander) is presented as the story’s protagonist when as a teen orphan, living at a nunnery with little options, she’s essentially sold to be the wife of the wealthy and much older merchant Cornelius (Waltz). The film is narrated by Maria (Holliday Grainger), Sophia’s servant, for reasons that become clear later in the film. Cornelis essentially rescued Sophia from poverty and married her so she would give him a child. Three years later, with no baby still, he nonchalantly speaks to a friend about possibly “letting her go” in another six months.

We go a good chunk of time into the film before even hearing Sophia really say much of anything, which is disheartening since most of the action seems to revolve around things happening to her. Things get interesting when Cornelius commissions their portraits and Sophia finds herself engaged in a passionate love affair with the artist, Jan (Dane DeHaan). Her mirror opposite is Maria, who, while unmarried and poor, is relentlessly cheerful and hopelessly in love with William (Jack O’Connell), the fishmonger. In order to save enough money to get married and live well, William decides to take his savings and gamble in Amsterdam’s chaotic and insane tulip market. Think Wall Street, but with no computers and deeds to tulips (that have yet to even sprout out of the ground)

Pick

being awarded to the highest bidder, with lots of drunken brawls thrown in for good measure.

Things really get complicated when Maria discovers she’s pregnant and threatens to tell Cornelius about Sophia’s affair if her condition is revealed. The lies only continue to take more twists and turns from there. With Tulip Fever, you’re really getting a Shakespearean comedy and tragedy all in one. The ridiculous manipulations and ruses that escalate would be purely comical if the consequences weren’t so dire. It’s safe to say that while everyone doesn’t necessarily get a happy ending here, each of the characters evolve in their own way. We see a softening of Cornelis, and, through this, he finds the life and relationships he’s always sought. Jan’s work, in standard tortured artist fashion, is made truly great by his greatest personal tragedy. Sophia, for once, gets to choose her own path. Marie is perhaps the only character who ends just as she started: truly happy.

The main cast members all deliver solid performances and we also get some delightful little appearances from actors like Zach Galifianakis as Jan’s hilarious drunkard of a friend, Cara Delevingne as the cunning harlot who steals William’s money, Tom Hollander as the pervy doctor who helps the scheming ladies, and dame Judy Dench as the shrewd abbess who has a hand in the tulip market.

Team bonding g New Times and Sun staffs meet up to enjoy a bonfire in Grover Beach

A

fter a long week of grinding away at a keyboard, staring into a 27-inch computer screen, and hiding out in an AC-filled office, it’s time for our editorial department to resurface Friday evening, Sept. 8, for a little team bonding.

The 5 p.m. punch-out time means the

editorial team for New Times is ready to meet up with the staff of its sister paper, the Sun, for a bonfire in Grover Beach.

We’ve got everything on our checklist: burgers, beers, tunes, blankets, and chairs.

With enough wood to build a warm fire for the evening, we make our way south.

Instead of taking Highway 101, we try to avoid traffic by taking the side streets.

Team bonding really starts even before we get to the beach, as people pile into each other’s cars with all their gear.

Although asking questions is second nature to us as reporters and editors, we’re so wrapped up in our everyday coverage that we don’t always get to ask each other about how different our childhoods were or how we survived middle school.

The beach at the end of Grand Avenue in Grover Beach is a stretch of sand that leads into the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area. It’s flat and sturdy enough for cars to drive on, but a four-wheel drive is recommended.

To hang out on the beach with your car costs $5 for a day pass, but don’t give the tollbooth guy any quarters; apparently he doesn’t like getting those and readily gave us a dose of sass.

When we arrive on the beach, it’s about 6 p.m. and the weather is absolutely perfect. The sun is starting to slowly lower into the ocean, the breeze has picked up, and the sand is soft to the touch. As we set up camp, the rest of the crew starts arriving.

Joe Payne, managing editor of the Sun, brought his guitar and mandolin along.

He tries and fails to coax New Times Arts Editor Ryah Cooley and I to sing along.

Payne is a veritable jukebox; from older melodies to classic rock, he’s ready to

bust out the jams and New Times Editor Camillia Lanham is ready to sing along.

The sun is dying down and our bonfire gets put together as the burgers cook over hot coals. We sit around, keeping warm by the fire as we watch cars pass by, no doubt heading for the overnight camping spots.

Everyone is talking about work, the different offices, and the different news coverage, offering tips to one another or just explaining how each team functions.

A lot of the staff members from the Sun are from out of town originally, so we get to hear stories about what they were doing before they came to the paper or what college they came from. Everyone has a unique story about how they got to the point in their life now.

But even though we come from different places, we all have one thing in common: the love of journalism. It’s a passion for writing, listening to people, reaching out to local officials, and getting to know the areas that we cover.

It’s that time of night right before the group starts to head their separate ways— the beach is open until 11 p.m. Editors make speeches around the fire about how enthusiastic they are about the teams they have. The team—it’s a group of diverse people that come together for a purpose.

Our purpose is to create informative papers for our communities while we learn about our counties and one another too. Δ Karen Garcia is enjoying a cold brew on the sand at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

@flavorslo LIFE IS JUICY More than 40 varieties of heirloom tomatoes will be ripe and ready for the eating at Windrose Farm’s annual Heirloom Tomato Festival.

FAMILY HEIRLOOMS Chef Julie Simon of SLO, known for her culinary creativity (most recently at her former position at Foremost Wine Company), will create a breathtaking farm-totable feast on Sunday, Sept. 24, from 5 to 8 p.m. Savor multiple courses, showcasing Windrose Farm heirloom tomatoes, locally raised meats, and seasonal produce paired with local wines.

Be one with the tomato How one chef found Zen at Windrose Farm—and how you can, too, at Heirloom Fest Sept. 23 and 24

C

hef Julie Simon has a fresh outlook on life. It’s written in her hands— rough from trellising dozens of tomato plants before noon. You can hear it in her voice: The humble tone of someone who’s learning—slowly, painstakingly— how to farm. Spoiler alert: It’s not easy, but it is ridiculously rewarding.

“I eat humble pie for breakfast,” Simon said of her new venture at Windrose Farm in Paso Robles. “It’s difficult, but I get to see the sunrise and sunset every day, and I get to be present in the moment. I would not trade that for anything.”

You probably know Simon as the Parisian whole-animal, whole-ingredient chef behind the seasonal dishes at Foremost Wine Company in SLO. When the frantic pace of kitchen life caught up with her, a big change was in order.

“It’s like your body knows before you do,” she said of the eventual burnout. “I wanted to dedicate the rest of the year to

learning new skills and growing.”

As hard as the chef knew it would be to cast off the duties at the restaurant, she needed room to find her roots. As it turns out, crops aren’t the only things that need a regular dose of sunlight, oxygen, and soil to thrive.

Windrose Farm was calling in the form of a seasonal apprenticeship. Simon answered with enthusiasm.

Located east of Paso Robles near Creston, Windrose Farm is a mainstay of biodynamic, organic farming on the Central Coast. Even if you cannot picture its fertile fields in your mind’s eye, you’ve probably eaten the produce grown there.

Owners Bill and Barbara Spencer have been bringing fresh produce to farmers’ markets since 1993 and there is a reason these plums, lettuces, and cloves of smoked garlic are so beloved by seasonal chefs across the state.

As Simon says, “They’ve been

Tomatoes of today

Join Windrose Farm for a celebration of heirloom tomato season with a festival on Saturday, Sept. 23, from 2 to 6 p.m. and multi-course dinner featuring chef Julie Simon this Sept. 24 from 5 to 8 p.m. For tickets go to farmsteaded.com or windrosefarm.org.

nourishing the community for years. I remember when Bill would come in to the restaurant every Friday with produce.

Sometimes I wouldn’t even know what I was going get, but I was so looking forward to whatever it was.”

With an incredible microclimate, the farm is tucked away in a valley forged by ancient rivers. This fertile land features 50 acres: a dozen are in vegetable rotations, six in apples and stone fruit, and five are dedicated to pastureland for sheep. The rest of the land is proudly untouched: deer, birds, beneficial insects, and bees keep the web of life humming.

Simon is quick to underscore the fact that she’s only an apprentice on the land, learning everything she can from the hardworking Spencers, the unofficial king and queen of organic farming in Paso

Robles. They are the gurus and she is the newbie.

“I live on the farm during the week, and it’s truly off the grid. I’ve taken on many different duties, and I am fortunate to be learning so much,” Simon said. “Barbara focuses on the chef’s garden, and Bill does a lot of the fieldwork. We rise early in the morning and tend to the fields, picking whatever needs to be picked. We don’t harvest anything later in the day, because the heat damages the herbs, the fruit.”

What has the team been picking lately?

Well, that’s obvious. Looking out at the Spencers’ heirloom tomato fields you’ll see all kinds of sumptuous colors coming into play, not unlike nature’s fireworks display.

Orange, black, red, striped, purple, green, and yellow—they’re all ripening now, and they’ll all be served up fresh at the farm’s annual Heirloom Tomato Festival scheduled for this Saturday, Sept 23. Slurp down juicy slices to your heart’s content, pick up farm provisions, learn planting tips, and meet the farmers themselves.

On Sunday, Sept 24, Simon will don her chef’s coat once again, although her shovel and work boots are never far from reach.

The aspiring farmer and celebrated chef will prepare a fabulous seasonal meal that incorporates the juiciest Windrose Farm heirloom tomatoes and estate lamb.

More than simply giving folks a taste of what’s delicious on the farm, Simon said she wants to bring forth a full, well-rounded experience, not unlike the one she’s been getting Monday through Friday.

When you spend literally six hours a day trellising tomatoes, you notice a perfumed scent wafting from the leaves.

“It’s not something you’d notice if you just picked up a tomato and sniffed it,” Simon said. “I want to bring people into what it is really like to live and breathe Windrose Farm.”

As it turns out, a tomato isn’t always just a tomato. Sometimes it’s even a teacher, a Zen master.

“Bill and Barbara have this ridiculous amount of respect for that one tomato,” Simon said. “That is what this experience has really taught me. This festival is not just produce, or one disconnected piece of the puzzle. It’s about serving up the whole system and savoring our place in it.” Δ Hayley Thomas Cain thinks heirloom season beats Christmas by a mile. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

HAPPY HOUR

Harvest is a magical time of year, but it isn’t “magic” that brings forth those juicy strawberries or perfectly balanced wine grapes. A good harvest, like most things, is really a matter of hard work, dedication, and due diligence (mother nature, not withstanding). This time of year, we honor the bountiful gifts of the season with the Arroyo Grande Village Harvest Festival and Parade, established way back in 1937. Gather at the Village on Sept. 22 and 23 for toe-tapping entertainment, agricultural exhibits, and an array of food, games, and arts and crafts booths (plus everyone’s fave, wheel barrow races!). Just remember, harvest isn’t just for tried-and-true farmers or wine grape growers. We plant seeds every day—with our families, our schools, our careers, our communities—and watch those seeds grow. We all need to step back and enjoy the fruits of our labors this time of year. So, here’s to whatever you’ve manifested in the past growing season. Whether that be a well-deserved promotion, a bumper crop of peas, or a killer pinot noir, I salute you.

Sept. 22 to 23; agharvestfestival.com. Δ Hayley Thomas Cain is celebrating the ongoing harvest of her many tomato plants. Send bites to hthomas@ newtimesslo.com.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: JOHN DENNIS SHAVER CASE NUMBER: 17PR - 0280

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: JOHN DENNIS SHAVER A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by STEVEN D. SCHMIDT in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that STEVEN D. SCHMIDT be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Unleash an outrageous boast about how you’re going to pull off a certain feat that you’ve previously lacked the chutzpah to attempt.

Testify at freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Two animals are pictured prominently on Australia’s coat of arms: the kangaroo and the large flightless bird known as the emu. One of the reasons they were chosen is that both creatures rarely walk backward.

They move forward or not at all. Australia’s founders wanted this to symbolize the nation’s pledge to never look back, to remain focused on advancing toward the future. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to make a similar commitment, Aries. Is there a new symbol you might adopt to inspire your intention?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Simpsons is an animated sitcom that will soon begin its 29th consecutive year on TV. During its run, it has told over 600 stories. The creators of another animated sitcom, South Park, once did an episode entitled “Simpsons Already Did It,” which referenced their feelings that it was hard to come up with new tales because their rival had already used so many good ones. I bring this up, Taurus, because I suspect your life story will soon be spinning out novel plots that have never before been seen, not even on The Simpsons or South Park. You could and should be the Best Storyteller of the Month.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love won’t exactly be free in the coming weeks, but there should be some good deals. And I’m not referring to risky black-market stuff obtained in back alleys, either. I mean straightforward liaisons and intriguing intimacy at a reasonable cost. So if you’re comfortably mated, I suggest you invest in a campaign to bring more comedy and adventure into your collaborative efforts. If you’re single, wipe that love-starved look off your face and do some exuberant window-shopping. If you’re neither comfortably mated nor single, money may temporarily be able to buy you a bit more happiness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The current state of your fate reminds me of the sweet confusion alluded to in Octavio Paz’s poem “Between Going and Staying”: “All is visible and elusive, all is near and can’t be touched.” For another clue to the raw truth of your life right now, I’ll quote the poet William Wordsworth. He spoke of “fleeting moods of shadowy exultation.” Is the aura described by Paz and Wordsworth a problem that you should try to fix? Is it detrimental to your heroic quest? I don’t think do. Just the opposite, really: I hope you can hang out for a while in this pregnant mystery— between the yes and the no, between the dark and the light, between the dream and the reality. It will help you learn what you’ve been too restless to tune in to in the past.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): The imminent future will be a favorable time for refurbished models and revived originals. They are likely to be more fun and interesting the second time around.

I suspect that this will also be an auspicious phase for substitutes and alternatives. They may even turn out to be better than the so-called real things they replace. So be artful in formulating Plan B and Plan C, Leo. Switching over to backups may ultimately bring out more of the best in you and whisk you toward your ultimate goal in unexpected ways.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the coming weeks, you might want to read the last few pages of a book before you decide to actually dive in and devour the whole thing. I also suggest you take what I just said as a useful metaphor to apply in other areas. In general, it might be wise to surmise the probable outcomes of games, adventures, and experiments before you get totally involved. Try this fun exercise: Imagine you are a psychic prophet as you evaluate the long-range prospects of any influences that are vying to play a role in your future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Dr. Astrology: I’m feeling lost, but am also feeling very close to finding my new direction. It

hurts! It would be so helpful if I could just catch a glimpse of that new direction. I’d be able to better endure the pain and confusion if I could get a tangible sense of the future happiness that my pain and confusion are preparing me for.

Can you offer me any free advice? -Lost Libra.” Dear Libra: The pain and confusion come from the dying of the old ways.

They need to die a bit more before the new direction will reveal itself clearly. I predict that will happen soon—no later than Oct. 1.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Welcome to “Compose Your Own Oracle,” a special edition of Free Will Astrology. Departing from tradition, I’m temporarily stepping aside so you can have the freedom to write the exact horoscope you want. Normally, you might be in danger of falling victim to presumptuous arrogance if you imagined you could wield complete control over how your destiny unfolds. But in the days ahead, that rule won’t be as unyielding, because cosmic forces will be giving you more slack than usual. Fate and karma, which frequently impel you to act according to patterns that were set in place long ago, are giving you at least a partial respite.

To get the maximum benefit out of “Compose Your Own Oracle,” identify three plot developments you’d like to weave into a self-fulfilling prophecy for your immediate future. Then start weaving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Almost two-thirds of us confess that if we are alone, we might sip milk directly from the carton rather than first pouring it into a glass. Fourteen percent of us have used milk as part of our sexual activities. One out of every five of us admit that we have “borrowed” someone else’s milk from the fridge at work. Most shockingly, 4 percent of us brag that we have blown milk out our noses on purpose.

I expect that in the next two weeks, you Sagittarians will exceed all these norms. Not just because you’ll be in the mood to engage in mischievous experiments and playful adventures with milk, but because you’re likely to have a loosey-goosey relationship with almost everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming weeks will an excellent time for you to raise funds in support of political prisoners, or to volunteer at a soup kitchen, or to donate blood at a blood bank. In fact, any charitable service you perform for people you don’t know will be excellent for your physical and mental health. You can also generate vivid blessings for yourself by being extra thoughtful, kind, and generous toward people you care for. You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when unselfish acts will yield maximum selfish benefits.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his novel The Jungle, muckraker Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) exposed the abominable hygiene and working conditions of the meat-packing industry. The uproar that followed led to corrective legislation by the U.S. Congress. Sinclair remained devoted to serving the public good throughout his career. He liked to say that the term “social justice” was inscribed on his heart. Drawing from his inspiration, Aquarius, I suggest you decide what your soul’s main motto is—and imagine that it is written on your heart.

Now is a perfect moment time to clarify your life’s purpose, and intensify your commitment to it; to devote even more practical, tender zeal to fulfilling the reason you were born.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You know that “patch of bothersome weeds” growing right in the middle of your life? Is it really a patch of bothersome weeds? Or is it perhaps a plot of cultivated blooms that once pleased you but has now turned into a puzzling irrelevancy? Or how about this possibility: Is it a chunk of languishing beauty that might flourish and please you again if it were cared for better? Those are excellent questions for you to pose in the coming days, Pisces. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, it’s time for you to decide on the future of this quizzical presence. ∆
