Arroyo Grande Council to disband traffic, parks, and historical resource commissions

I

n a significant departure from past practices, the city of Arroyo Grande will disband three of its citizen advisory bodies, drawing criticism from the volunteers who serve on them.

The City Council voted 3-1 at an Aug. 14 meeting to move forward with an ordinance to dissolve the city’s Traffic Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and its Historical Resources Committee. The decision was made as part of a package of cost-saving measures laid out in the city’s budget. While the move will save the city money and staff time, that appeared to be little consolation for some of the commission members who attended the meeting to argue in favor of keeping the three advisory bodies.

“This is kind of like being dumped by your boyfriend and you’re not ready,” said Shirley Gibson, one of the five members of the Historic Resources Committee.

Advisory bodies like the commissions don’t have the power to make policy, but they do hear testimony from the public and consider needs and issues brought to them by members of the community. They can make recommendations to other boards like the Planning Commission and the City Council. City Manager Jim Bergman said disbanding the three commissions would offset staff cuts to the city’s parks and community development departments. Those cuts were made to help close a $900,000 gap in the city’s budget.

“Quite frankly, this is a difficult recommendation to make,” Bergman said.

Eliminating the commissions will save about 30 hours of time for staff each month. Staff used that time to generate reports, public notices, and staffing meetings for the three commissions. Bergman said those 30 hours represent an estimated $30,000 a year in salary and benefits. According to a city staff report,

MAKING A CASE Arroyo Grande is moving forward with plans to disband three citizen advisory commissions. Arroyo Grande Historical Commission Chairman Bill Hart (above) argued against the decision at an Aug. 14 meeting.

other commissions or city departments would essentially absorb the duties and responsibilities of the disbanded commissions.

In a presentation to the council, Bergman also noted that all three commissions have canceled more than half of their meetings scheduled for the calendar year. A staff report stated that many of the city advisory commissions were formed in the 1970s and ’80s, when residents had fewer ways to communicate with city officials about important issues. Since then, social media, email, and other platforms have expanded that ability, Bergman argued.

“Change is hard, but all organizations do it,” he said.

But the appointed volunteers who staff the commissions weren’t sold on the idea. Historical

Resources Committee Chairman Bill Hart said getting rid of his commission sent a bad message to the public.

“What does it say to our community members in this historic city when we get rid of this committee?” he asked the council.

Kenneth Price, who sits on the Traffic Commission, called the recommendation shortsighted and said it was a “step too far.”

“I think we are a really worthwhile commission, and I am disappointed that this is the way they are going,” Price told New Times.

“My experience is that, over the years, we’ve been able to provide information that [the city] hasn’t thought about or hasn’t thought through.”

Councilmember Caren Ray was the lone vote against the recommendation. She worried that getting rid of the commissions would hurt the city’s ability to communicate with residents.

“I’m telling you right now, I’m not sold on this,” she said.

The council members who voted in favor of the recommendation—Barbara Harmon, Tim Brown, and Mayor Jim Hill (Kristen Barneich was absent)—indicated that other methods, such as holding focused community and stakeholder meetings on specific issues and projects, could better fulfill the functions of the commissions.

“I think this is a paradigm shift,” Harmon said. “It’s a new reality.”

Brown agreed, and noted that council could always vote to bring the three advisory bodies back at a later date.

“If we find out that this doesn’t work, it’s not set in stone,” he said.

The ordinance to disband the commissions will come back to the council for a second vote at a future City Council meeting. Δ —Chris McGuinness

SLO Planning Commission opposes latest version Anholm bikeway

A stalled plan to put a bike boulevard through a San Luis Obispo neighborhood continues to flummox city leaders and anger residents.

SLO Planning Commissioners opposed yet another iteration of the more than 2-year-old Anholm Bikeway Plan on Aug. 14, unanimously voting against sending support to the City Council for a proposal that would redistribute traffic in the neighborhood to create a safe throughway for bikes traveling between downtown and Foothill Boulevard.

The city’s newest plan calls for installing a traffic diverter on Broad Street to force cars onto Chorro Street, which would increase traffic on Chorro but reduce volumes on Broad for bicyclists. It also includes other traffic calming measures, like speed bumps, on both streets.

City transportation officials scaled back the plan from its previous version—a protected, two-way bike lane—after it drew the ire of the neighborhood for its elimination of 73 onstreet parking spaces. Staff’s alternative plan, presented on Aug. 14, preserved all parking and

resulted in an estimated 65 percent reduction in vehicle flows on Broad.

But planning commissioners said they couldn’t support the bikeway’s impact on Chorro, which, per the plan, would take on a 55 percent increase in traffic and demand reclassifying it as an “arterial” street instead of a “collector” street in the general plan. Commissioners appeared frustrated by wanting to support SLO’s bicycle and climate action goals, while also having serious qualms about the project. A “no-win situation,” and “a square peg in a round hole,” is how Commissioners Chuck Stevenson and John McKenzie described it, respectively.

Dozens of Anholm residents attended the meeting and most voiced their displeasure for the project. The commission allotted 10 minutes of public comment to neighborhood homeowner and mayoral candidate Keith Gurnee, who presented an alternative design for the bikeway.

City staff claimed that Gurnee’s plan would lead to increased traffic volumes on both Broad and Chorro streets.

“The real preferred resolution is to leave things as they are,” Gurnee said.

diverter on Broad, which would be installed just south of the Foothill Shopping Plaza, where California Fresh Market and other stores and restaurants are located. Locals complained about the prospect of driving around the diverter and onto a busy Foothill Boulevard in order to do their shopping. Several public speakers also expressed concerns about the safety of Chorro after residential developments at 22 Chorro St. and 790 Foothill Blvd. (across the street), are built out. Some pleaded with the city to drop the push for a bikeway altogether.

“I’d like to see this project die and go away,” a resident said.

The City Council will meet on Sept.

4 to revisit the proposed bikeway and determine next steps. The council is not required to follow the Planning Commission’s recommendation in making its decision on the project, according to city officials.

Morro Bay certifies the EIR for its wastewater treatment plant Amid potential impacts on Chumash sacred sites, the city of Morro Bay certified its final environmental impact report (EIR) to install a wastewater treatment facility on South Bay Boulevard at an Aug. 14 City Council meeting. Its next challenge is securing the funding for the project.

According to a staff report, the city’s preferred alignment for the pipelines at the proposed South Bay Boulevard site are near several potential or known archeological sensitive sites.

City Manager Scott Collins told New Times that the city and The Northern Chumash Tribal Council have been collaboratively working on an alternative pipeline route with the approval of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

“After constructive negotiation and reviewing adjustments to the pipeline alignment, the Northern Chumash Tribal Council Inc. is pleased to announce that a collaborative new project pipeline alignment satisfies the California Tribal Resource Preservation process, and has the support of the Northern Chumash Tribal Council Inc.,” Fred Collins, chairman of the tribal council, wrote in a letter to the city.

The city does anticipate additional costs with the alternative, but the city manager said there is a conservative amount in the overall $126 million budget already set to cover the costs of environmental impacts.

Five years and 17 proposed sites later, Morro Bay has finally locked in certification of the EIR for the wastewater treatment facility, but funding is still needed to get the project in motion—and that’s up to the community.

At a July 10 meeting, the City Council unanimously voted on approving a Proposition 218 notice for a proposed water and sewer rate increase set for July 1, 2019. The protest period ends on Sept.

11, 2018. The fixed monthly surcharges billed per residential unit will total $41 per month for a single-family home. Multifamily and condominium units will incur a $32.80 per month total surcharge. Utility bills for an average single-family home

VIEWER DISCRETION could be as low as $168 or as high as $233.

“We encourage the community members that are eligible for the Proposition 218 protest or who are considering protesting to really research the project,” Scott Collins said.

The last rate increase was in 2015.

The city manager told New Times that the funds went to sewer and water services and planning and research of the proposed wastewater project. The city was able to reserve about $10 million of those funds for the project.

“That’s $10 million in cash that we can put down rather than having to get a loan, and it winds up saving a significant amount,” he said. “It results in a very big thing for the community, because we were also able to do all the studies to get us to this point.”

The city is also under pressure from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, which issued an order on June 27 giving Morro Bay a maximum of five years to build a new facility to meet its new permit requirements. Morro Bay could face up to $50,000 a month in fines if it doesn’t meet the deadline.

The existing wastewater treatment plant needs to be rebuilt due to age and condition as well as capacity and regulatory deficiencies. In 2013, the California Coastal Commission denied the city’s permit to build a new treatment plant near the existing site due to coastal hazards.

Grant to help expand opioid addiction treatment in county jail The war on opioid addiction has many fronts. That includes the SLO County jail, where officials are looking to expand one program for inmates struggling with addiction thanks to a state-sponsored grant.

SLO County’s Behavioral Health Agency received a $25,000 grant in June to participate in a collaborative learning program to help it expand access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in the county jail. MAT is the use of FDA approved medications, such as methadone, in combination with behavioral therapy to treat substance abuse disorders. The grant was provided by the California Department of Health Care Services.

The grant will allow county staff to participate in collaboration program with other counties looking to expand MAT in their jails. The program will provide technical assistance, best practices, and other resources to help develop countyspecific measures to broaden access to MAT in jail settings.

“We will be able to learn about the best way to implement and expand MAT,” SLO County Jail Chief Medical officer Christy Mulkerin told New Times.

Currently, the jail is able to continue treatment for inmates who enter the jail already on a MAT medication. The jail also provides the treatment to any pregnant inmates who enter the jail on an opiate drug. Mulkerin said the jail wants to extend the availability of MAT to inmates who have been using intermittently or daily on the streets once they’ve completed the jail’s withdrawal protocol, and help them continue the MAT as they transition out of custody.

“We want to offer this treatment of high-risk inmates before they leave jail so they can continue it out in the community,” Mulkerin said.

The need to expand MAT in the jail is part of a larger campaign by public health officials, health care workers, and community advocates to combat use and abuse of heroin and opioid medication in SLO County.

Last year, 22 individuals died as the result of opioid overdoes, according to data from the SLO County Opioid Safety Coalition.

The SLO County Jail recorded a single opiaterelated death in 2014 when 29-year-old inmate Timothy Richard Janowicz was unresponsive in his cell due to a heroin overdose. In May 2018, a 65-year-old inmate was hospitalized after being found unresponsive in his jail bed. According to a press release from the SLO Sheriff’s Office, jail staff suspected the incident was caused by an illegal narcotic, and administered the antiopiate drug Narcan to the inmate.

Atascadero community seeks new faces for City Council The members of the Atascadero City Council all served on the city’s Planning Commission before getting elected to their seats. In other words, they’ve been engaged in city politics for a long time.

With three candidates vying for two vacant seats—left by Brian Sturtevant, who isn’t seeking re-election, and Heather Moreno, who is running for mayor—in the upcoming November election, community members such as Rick Mathews are calling for a fresh face.

Mathews, the founder of Madrone Landscapes who’s served on several city commissions, said he’s on board with City Council candidate Susan Funk, a 10-year resident and businesswoman.

“I think it’s a unique dynamic here in the city of Atascadero, some of it has to do with the longevity of residents and some of the issues are around nepotism,” he said. “I find Susan to be a refreshing change from that, I don’t feel like she comes with an agenda other than the genuine interest in seeing progress in quality development for our city.”

According to a campaign finance statement, Funk has already raised more than $12,000 from local donors. And $500 of that came from the Atascadero Democratic Club, which supports Funk’s

by Jayson Mellom

campaign. Funk owns Kailos Group Inc., a consulting company in the health care field. She said she works with companies to find opportunities to improve the quality of a product while reducing its cost.

Funk’s campaign focuses on calling for the efficient use of resources—water, energy, and taxpayer dollars—creating a more engaged community, and active city support to create a thriving downtown. Her main goal, she said, is to work with the city and bring in local businesses to Atascadero in the hopes of boosting its revenue.

“I think the critical thing for us is to be able to build an economy that’s strong enough to be able to sustain that [small town] feel while serving the needs of the whole community,” she said.

While Funk’s been on the campaign trail since March, Mark Dariz is just beginning his campaign for a spot on the council. He has been an Atascadero planning commissioner since 2011, becoming its chair in 2015. He’s also served on the city’s Design Review Committee and San Luis Obispo County’s Regional Transportation Advisory Committee.

“As an architect and wheelchair user for more than 30 years, I brought valuable perspective to the Planning Commission,” Dariz told New Times in an email. “I’ve worked to improve the quality of life for all Atascadero residents.”

His campaign focuses on modeling open and transparent public communication, working with community leaders to bring jobs and businesses to the city, and using his experience as an architect to help guide development in the direction to strengthen the economy of the city.

Heather Newsom a current Atascadero Parks and Recreation commissioner is also running for a City Council seat.

Newsom did not reply to New Times’ request for comment before press time. Δ —Karen Garcia

Retired leave County waste agency places manager on leave amid scrutiny from public, DA’s office

T

here is nothing outwardly abnormal about Bill Worrell’s retirement letter dated Aug. 7, Worrell, who has served as the manager of the SLO County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) since 1995, wrote that his decision was primarily motivated by the desire to spend more time with his family and address health issues.

“Last month I turned 65 and had always considered that as an age at which I would retire,” he said. “It has been a pleasure working with each of you.”

Worrell wrote that he would officially retire as of Sept. 11, but he won’t likely set foot back in his office between now and then. Just one day after he submitted the letter, the IWMA board unanimously voted to place him on paid administrative leave until his retirement. In addition, board Chairman and Grover Beach City Councilmember Jeff Lee said the board also voted to hire a forensic auditing firm to examine the agency.

“The intent is to look at the organization to see if improvements can be made from accounting and policy standpoints,” Lee told New Times.

When asked why the board voted to place Worrell on leave until his retirement date, Lee said he couldn’t discuss personnel matters. However, the vote comes after a report by a private investigator raised allegations that Worrell was misusing agency funds, which sparked an investigation by the SLO County District Attorney’s Office.

Carl Knudsen, a former IRS auditor who previously investigated allegations of financial malfeasance at the South SLO County Sanitation District, authored the PHOTO COURTESY OF THE SLO COUNTY IWMA

report that led to the DA’s investigation.

In the report, Knudsen said that there was a “lack of documentation” for $445,077 in expenses on the IWMA credit card issued to Worrell. Knudsen added that he found several transactions on the card that “appeared to be personal in nature.” In addition, Knudsen raised concerns about large contracts granted to waste companies under Worrell’s tenure without going through a competitive bidding process, among other allegations.

In a July 6 letter to Deputy District Attorney Michael Frye, Worrell said he provided the DA’s Office with a number of documents, including credit card statements, receipts, and other documentation. Worrell declined to speak with New Times for this story.

A portion of Knudsen’s report also focused on the relationship between Worrell and Charles Tenborg, a wastemanagement businessman from Arroyo Grande. Both men were the subject of a 2012 article by CalCoastNews reporters Karen Velie and Daniel Blackburn.

Tenborg sued CalCoastNews for libel, resulting in a $1.1 million judgment against the blog and its reporters.

CalCoastNews appealed the judgment, and has stood by the story, claiming that during the trial it was not allowed to introduce witnesses and evidence that proved the story was true.

After the verdict, a website called “CalCoastNews Defense Fund” appeared online, seeking donations to help with the appeal. The website also mentioned Knudsen’s IWMA investigation. In a January 2018 deposition, Velie said that she didn’t have access to the money raised by the defense fund, but indicated that some of the money may have been used to pay for “private investigators.”

Knudsen’s report does not reference the defense fund, but was completed for an organization called “The Citizen’s Group of San Luis Obispo.” CalCoastNew’s appeal remains ongoing in state court.

When asked if he felt the information in Knudsen’s report was credible, IWMA board Chairman Lee said that he’d not read every page but there was information in the report that the board “needed to take a look at.” He also said the IWMA would fully cooperate with the DA’s investigation.

“We take these allegations very seriously,” he said. “When the information came forward, we took action.”

Lee said the IWMA’s executive committee would meet in the near future to discuss appointing an interim manager to fill in for Worrell until a permanent replacement can be hired. ∆

AUDIT AHEAD The SLO County Integrated Waste Management Authority’s board voted on Aug. 8 to place its longtime manager on paid leave and will conduct an audit of the agency’s finances.

Cyber safety I n a small building that houses community classrooms on the Cuesta College campus, there’s one classroom with four rows of computers. A student from either middle school or high school sits behind almost every screen. They’re not playing games or surfing the web, but they are learning how their computer operating system works.

The students are enrolled in a oneweek cyber camp for kids to learn how to protect their screens.

This is Ayen Johnson’s first time teaching the camp at Cuesta College, and he said the curriculum from the class comes from Cyber Patriot. Cyber Patriot is a national youth cyber education program created by the Air Force Association. The goal of the camp is to inspire K-12 students into cyber security careers or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.

Johnson said with the current highlevel security problems and network issues at the national level, it’s important that a program like this exists.

“Just look at anything in the news that has to do with hackers or cyber criminals, and every single second something is happening,” he said.

In the classroom, kids work on two computer operating systems: Linux—a free and open-sourced software operating system—and Windows 10. The students basically act as information technology (IT) personnel, who usually troubleshoot computer issues at home or for a business.

These students learn what documents, files, and accounts are on the software.

At the end of the camp, students get into groups of four or five and compete.

They’re given a request from a company to clean the computer system of any and all files that don’t pertain to the business in three hours. Each item that’s removed or account that’s debugged is worth points.

Christopher Dahl (15), Edward Chiang (12), and Grant Broersma (14) nabbed first place on Aug. 3. Dahl and Broersma manned the screens while Chiang did the research.

“It’s just really fun, and it’s something that I enjoy doing. It’s not a job I would mind doing in the future, but for now it’s just fun,” Chiang said.

With plastic gold medals around their

necks, the teenagers said they learned a lot about the different types of malware there are, how computer software works, and how to block unwanted files.

“As much as it’s interesting, it’s also good to know how computers work because hackers are out there,” Broersma said.

“The likelihood of you getting hacked is lesser because there’s billions of people in the world, but it could happen.”

The camp gives the students a taste of the Cyber Patriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, which is open to almost all high schools. Johnson, the camp’s professor, teaches a cyber security class at Coast Union High School and also advises the school Cyber Patriot teams.

He said there are many unfulfilled jobs in the cyber security field, and he hopes that these programs, camps, and team competitions will get kids excited about this potential career field.

“By the time it’s 2020, there’s going to be 1.6 million jobs that are going to be unfilled, so we’re trying to catch up before that happens,” Johnson said.

Democracy demands a free press

Life in America

Without journalism, America as we know it would cease to exist

I

’ve always been proud to be a journalist. The Fourth Estate is another check and balance on government, and local journalists like those of us at New Times and our fellow reporters at The Tribune also chronicle our community’s achievements, inform our neighbors of important news, and do our very best to be unbiased and fair.

We attend the boring meetings, ask local politicians tough questions, and when we make a mistake, we admit and correct it.

Am I an enemy of the people? Are my journalist colleagues?

Don’t believe the “fake news” hype.

Journalism is still an honorable profession and essential to a functioning democracy, which is why newspapers across the United States today are devoting part of their opinion pages to defending themselves against false charges. We’re under attack in particular by a sitting U.S. president, who claims we’re liars out to undermine his presidency and the American way of life. And it’s definitely an attitude that has bled down to the local level. Don’t believe it.

“I deplore with you the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed, and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write

HODIN

for them,” third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1814, five years after leaving the presidency.

President Donald J. Trump isn’t the first leader to attack the press, but what happened to the Jefferson who wrote before he took office, “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter”?

That Jefferson became president and was pilloried for being a Francophile, an atheist, father of children conceived by his slave, and a “terrible” leader who made the Louisiana Purchase and imposed the Embargo Act of 1807.

There’s nothing like a little criticism to turn a press-defending president into a press-shaming one.

The problem with falsely accusing the press of being mendacious and dangerous is it incites many to believe it’s open season on journalists. A free press is one of the first things to go as a country slides away from democracy.

Journalists in those countries are routinely jailed, beaten, and even killed for daring to publish content that challenges the chosen narrative of the country’s leadership. Is that what we want? To only have access to the political leadership’s narrative and not a press tasked with challenging that narrative—regardless of where it falls on the political spectrum?

Conservatives to the back of the bus in 2018

T

he Founding Fathers drafted a Constitution that protects the rights of the individual from an oppressive government. The Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal; they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title 42, Chapter 21, of the U.S. Code prohibits discrimination in the form of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. It is against the law in America to discriminate against your fellow American for any of these reasons.

Yet in 2018, the national news media and the Democratic Party have determined it is permissible to discriminate against any individual whose political views differ from theirs. It has become fashionable to attack conservative Americans simply because their political views differ from those of the left. This is exactly the same type of bigoted behavior the Ku Klux Klan engaged in during the early part of the 20th century. This is the same type of behavior engaged in by Nazi Germany against the Jews—one group forcing its beliefs upon another, by physical force if necessary.

So what is the objective of these intolerant people who persecute and commit violence upon others because of their political views? They have a lynch mob mentality; they want total control. Their actions demonstrate their

objective, which is to eliminate freedom of speech and freedom of thought. They are intolerant of any view other than their own. This is the Ku Klux Klan all over again; they are persecuting anyone with a conservative view of government.

They yell and scream over anyone who speaks an opposing political view, “Conservatives sit in the back of the bus.” They are incapable of a rational discussion regarding their political differences. Just like the KKK, they physically attack those whose views and political policy ideas are different from theirs. Why are these people afraid of an honest, respectful discussion of their differences? Our country’s answer to disagreements over free speech has always been more free speech. Why must they resort to physical violence like the Ku Klux Klan? Is antifa the new America? Is that what we want?

This lynch mob mentality is endorsed by the national media against anyone with a conservative point of view. They attack anyone who disagrees with them publicly by beating them down because they dare to speak out against the propaganda generated by the socialist, fascist, communist left and condoned by a complicit media. This same behavior occurs in our colleges. Why is this tolerated?

They say “sexual harassment” is use of a position of power to gain sexual favors, yet government officials in the FBI and the Department of Justice use the power of their positions to persecute others with opposing political views. This is a crime, yet law enforcement officials at the highest levels allow this to occur. This AMERICA continued page 11

were killed worldwide. Most of them were killed in non-democratic countries and war zones, but even small-town journalists now have something to fear.

Earlier this year, on June 28, Jarrod Ramos walked into the offices of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, and shot seven people, killing five.

Why? Because a judge dismissed his defamation case against the paper, which had accurately reported on Ramos’ criminal activities.

Recently, after a veiled online threat, New Times’ offices have stepped up security protocols to make our workplaces safer—but also less accessible to the public. And we’re not the only news outlet in the U.S. that is dealing with something like that. I find this terribly sad. We don’t mind angry letters or phone calls, or even an unhappy reader who wants to give us a piece of his or her mind in person, but to be worried for our safety?

For the most part, the press generates unbiased reportage, but it also contains opinions in the form of commentary (from both the left and right) and letters to the editor, and oftentimes those opinions are indeed biased.

“How dare you publish this awful rightwing (or left-wing) screed?” we hear. We dare because people’s opinions matter too, even when we disagree with them.

Somewhere along the line in the minds of some, honest journalism and the opinions news outlets publish have became conflated, and they shouldn’t. A good newspaper is a discussion forum,

Say no to fracking in SLO County

In light of the Trump administration’s decision to potentially open up l.6 million acres of federal lands, including in San Luis Obispo County, to fracking and other extreme oil extraction methods, Measure G on the November ballot becomes even more important to the preservation of our county.

G will ban new oil and gas wells and prevent fracking on unincorporated lands within SLO County. Unfortunately, it has no authority over federal lands like Los Padres National Forest or the Carrizo National Monument. But a yes vote on Measure G and the subsequent creation of laws banning new oil and gas wells and fracking will send a strong message to federal officials to stop encouraging unwanted fracking and other extreme oil extracting methods in our fine county.

The No On G lobbyists, financed by Chevron and Sentinel Peak Energy Resources, are sharing their exaggerated “talking points,” distortions, and untruths. The core lie being that Measure G supposedly shuts down the Arroyo Grande oil field (in Price Canyon), when, in fact, the measure exempts existing oil extraction and protects existing job and taxes. Another distortion is that

supposedly fracking will never happen in SLO County. However, the opposition won’t explain why in neighboring Kern County there are thousands of fracked oil wells or that fracking was attempted in Monterey Country until a federal judge intervened in 2013, stopped it, and required an environmental impact statement be prepared. Both of these counties share a similar geology with SLO county.

Now that the Trump administration is encouraging fracking and extreme extraction of new oil, the Big Oil assertion that fracking will never occur in SLO County will be put to the test. This is perfect timing for a yes on Measure G. Charles Varni co-chair Coalition to Protect SLO County

Oh my! My prayers have been answered! Many times have I drafted a letter in response to the hyperbolic, inane, non-factual rants of the frequent contributor Al Fonzi, but none have been as well crafted, intelligent and elegantly written as Erik Huber’s “Historical narrative” (Aug. 9). Here, here Erik! Well said! Maybe you should get a column?

Susan Ross Grover Beach

Yes on G

As a concerned citizen of San Luis Obispo County and specifically the city of Atascadero, I earnestly ask our elected officials to support Measure G, which will be on the November ballot. Voters will determine whether or not to allow more oil drilling, including fracking, in our county.

Essentially, fracking is a very dirty business, using millions of gallons of our precious and dwindling water reserves and toxic, carcinogenic chemicals. The processing and transport of the oil pollutes water, soil, and air and would be dangerous to the neighborhoods and businesses along the whole route.

The measure does not impact existing oil wells but would ban the use of fracking at those wells. The aim of Measure G is to stop new oil exploration, fracking, and drilling in our county.

Relying on and using fossil fuels goes against the Paris Climate Accord, which virtually every country on Earth has signed onto and has begun reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.

Believe the science and observe the facts: desertification of vast areas, melting of polar ice, extinction of many species, record-breaking heat across the world, rising sea levels, etc.

If Measure G fails to pass, the only winners will be the oil companies. The losers will be our health, economies based on tourism, and the moral obligation to halt escalating climate change while we still can.

What’s up with Caltrans?

There’s been something on my mind that I’d like to share and hear others’ opinions about.

For many years, I have felt that Caltrans has been one of the biggest wastes of taxpayer money. A really prime example is the Highway 101 off-ramp project in San Miguel. The population of San Miguel is around 2,300, and for many years the off-ramp there has worked just fine! But Caltrans decided it needed to spend $56 million of our money to reconfigure the off-ramp, closing miles of the highway down to one lane during the height of tourist season. To me, it’s a really unnecessary project.

Spend, spend, spend seems to be Caltrans’ official motto.

False narratives redux

I

n response to my critics: Solving massive problems requires first an open mind. The use of the ad hominem attack is the stock-in-trade of the closed mind and is the reason why we can’t get past false political narratives and actually enact effective policies to address real environmental problems.

The 2018 fire season is an especially bad one, aggravated by the current drought. California has always been subject to prolonged drought cycles, which contribute to the wildfire hazard.

California has experienced megadroughts of 200 years in its not so distant past. If you study the geological history of the state you will discover that droughts lasting hundreds of years have occurred over many thousands of years without any help from humans.

Similar patterns have occurred in the Mediterranean area, effecting Eastern and Northern European civilizations over the last 2,000 years. We have written records of these events and archeological evidence to support the narratives. None of these events were attributed to humaninfluenced greenhouse gas forcing but were the result of natural cycles.

Unfortunately, according to a 2015 article in The New York Times, some scientists say California’s infrastructure built over the last 150 years may have been constructed during an unusually wet

cycle and we are now returning to a more “normal” and prolonged dry period.

The climate change alarmist narrative attributes virtually every weather event, including recent severe wildfires, primarily to climate change. No doubt, having a drought makes vegetation likely to burn, but it doesn’t give the environmental movement a pass. For decades, the “greens” have obstructed virtually every effort to thin forests, clear vegetation, even remove dead and diseased trees from forests, creating undergrowth that is a tinderbox ready to explode. When fire ravages designated wilderness areas, the green response to fire agencies is legal obstruction, insisting that mechanical fire suppression (use of bulldozers, vehicles) be prohibited and only hand-tools and aerial suppression be used. The result is larger fires and greater destruction at more cost. The same applies to vegetation removal, resisted by landowners due to expense and greens demanding no disturbing of habitat. The result is extreme fire conditions and fires that sterilize the soil.

Researchers such as Bonner Cohen, a senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research and Stephen Pyne, probably the foremost expert and historian on wildfire in America, agree with my assessment as to the causes of the extreme fire conditions we are currently

experiencing. In fact, Pyne and others have predicted this type of fire behavior for decades as a result of government (federal, state, and local) mismanagement of American forests for the last 100 years.

Mass development in the wildland-urban interface placing people in canyons that historically burn in classic uphill, very fast moving chaparral fires has added a life-hazard missing during most of the first half of the 20th century. Now the suppression costs are in the tens of millions as are the losses, not to mention the unnecessary loss of life.

Gov. Brown’s assertion that fires are now unpredictable and unprecedented is not supported by the evidence according to university of Colorado climate change specialist Roger Pielke, who said Brown is engaging in “noble cause corruption.”

Pielke said “it is easier to make a political case for (climate) change using immediate and local threats, rather than those on a global scale, especially given the subtleties of climate change research, which features probabilities subject to wide margins of error and contradiction by other findings.” Richard Halsey, founder of the Chaparral Institute in San Diego, said, “Public attention should be focused on understanding fire risk, controlling development and making existing homes safer with fire-rated roofs and ember-resistant vents. Otherwise,

the houses will keep burning down and people will keep dying. I don’t believe the climate change discussion is helpful.”

Critic Eric Huber (“Historical narrative,” Aug. 9) also included the assertion that hurricane seasons are more severe, except they aren’t.

In an interview with NBC reporters, National Hurricane Center Science and Operations Officer Chris Landsea expressed his concern that the media was using hurricanes as a poster child for global warming. “There’s periods where it’s busy and quiet and busy and quiet, but no trend. There’s no statistical change over a 130-year period. Since 1970, the number of hurricanes globally is flat. I haven’t seen anything that suggests that the hurricane intensity is going to change dramatically,” Landsea stated.

Since 2005, there was a 12-year hiatus in which not a single major hurricane made landfall on the United States.

(Hurricane Sandy was a tropical storm when it hit NYC, not a hurricane.)

Skepticism in science is healthy and I suggest drinking less “Kool Aid” and conducting more research.

There are thousands of distinguished scientists who take grave exception to the politicization of climate science as should every concerned citizen. ∆ 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

Poop and politics “

W

e’ve been fired,” murmured someone at a recent meeting in Arroyo Grande.

No, it wasn’t a response to tweets announcing the latest round of cuts to ridiculously short-lived subservient presidentially nominated national cabinet secretaries. Although, it’s pretty close.

The Arroyo Grande City Council had just announced the dissolution of three commissions that serve as its advisory bodies. The murmurer was one of several volunteers who have spent their time listening to community members speak their minds as members of the Traffic Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Historical Resources Committee. All three were cut to save $30,000 in staff time, because of the $900,000 shortfall the city is facing.

Every $1,000 counts, right?!

Plus, City Manager Jim Bergman told the council that all of those commissions were created before the internet took over the world. (That damn technological advance ruined everything!)

It was a good way to get input from the community and inform them about what’s going on. Now we have social media and email—those great harbingers of factual discussion and productive communication.

Who needs actual face time anymore, you know what I’m sayin’?

Well, yeah, but Kenneth Price, who sits on the Traffic Commission told

council members that the first he’d heard about the potential move was when New Times called him for comment. Umm, that’s a little absurd. Maybe he didn’t get the email notice you sent him, Bergman?

“This is kind of like being dumped by your boyfriend when you’re not ready,” said Shirley Gibson, soon to be exgirlfriend/member of the Historical Resources Committee.

I mean, breaking up via text message or email is the actual worst thing a human being can do. Maybe she didn’t get the message either?

You know who else didn’t get the message?

Our “Hillarious” friend SLO County 3rd District Supervisor Adam “I forgot we approved a code of conduct” Hill.

He keeps trying to break up with Keith “T-bone” Gurnee over email—and it continues to bite him in the ass.

Adam! I feel like we’ve had this conversation before. But, like a good Shredder, I’ll be consistent with my poking fun until you get the big picture.

Stop emailing, texting, Facebook messaging constituents when you’re all mad ’n’ shit. It’s rule No. 1 of politicking like a boss—although it is funny, but not in the way that you think it’s funny!

In the email that our mutual friend “the minx” shared with us, you tell your platonic friend T-Bone that you love him, but not in that way. Gosh, I feel like I’ve written about that before. Oh yeah, it was last November. In the ensuing months,

the Board of Supervisors passed a code of conduct and signed a code of civility.

I guess you forgot about that when you sent that reply email to Gurnee.

“Now that you’re a Democrat, you’ll find more tolerance and acceptance,” Hill wrote to his favorite little minx. “I’m here for you.”

Except, the level of acceptance, Gurnee received at a recent SLO Progressives Club meeting could be described as aggressively non-tolerant. And, you were one of the leaders of the pack that was distinctly anti-Gurnee.

Oh wait! You were being sarcastic when you emailed him that eloquent work of satire. It is my favorite genre of writing, so I’ll give you that, Adam, my platonic friend. If Gurnee becomes SLO’s next mayor, I think his anger-baiting behavior is exactly what we can expect to consume City Council discussions. I mean, he did call Adam “one sick disgusting dude” in the email thread. Is this the best political trash talk SLO has to offer?! And I get it, you were defending fellow progressive Dem SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon from the onslaught of Gurnee’s toilet-level politicking, but she’s more than capable of defending herself.

Cue: mic drop.

For the next act in this shit show, someone should write a satire about the Morro Bay wastewater reclamation facility and how similar it’s been to

the Los Osos wastewater treatment plant. It’s almost like they came from the same screenplay or something.

After five years of wasting money on countless meetings flooded with NIMBY residents who didn’t want a wastewater treatment facility in their backyards— even though everybody poops!—the Morro Bay City Council passed the final environmental impact review on the 17th iteration of the proposed plant. The cost of the project ballooned from $100 million in year 1 to $126 million in year 5.

Now that’s democracy in action.

Are we to expect the same sort of continuing debate that came out of Los Osos? You know the kind; public opinion from loud and squeaky wheels (cough, cough, Julie Tacker, Richard Margetson, Jeff Edwards) that debilitates every decision that has to do with the project, stretching it out to an intolerable length and cost.

I can already feel a heated discussion about rate increases to pay for the staterequired facility coming on. All you have to do is check out our opinion section for the last few weeks. I think sometimes people forget that their poop has to go somewhere, just like the money needed to build their poop disposal factory also has to come from somewhere.

If you cut corners on that, then you’ll be trying to clean your raw sewage in your backyard. I don’t know about you, but I feel like public opinion on that is “hell no!” ∆ The Shredder knows that everybody can be a poopy butt sometimes. Send comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

SPREADING KINDNESS SLO High School REACH Club members Malia Cariño (left) and Sabrina Marks (right) hold up “kindness cards,” which were individually crafted and distributed to 700 peers, staff, and teachers last March.

hile they grieved, Ana and Patrick O’Sullivan found out that they weren’t alone.

In the wake of their son Tomas’ tragic suicide in 2016, Ana and Patrick talked to parents in the San Luis Obispo High School community who reached out to them to offer more than just condolences. They shared their own experiences with their teenage children who were also struggling with serious mental health issues.

“A lot of people who came up to us said, ‘I have a Tomas,’ or ‘Tomas isn’t alone,’” Ana told New Times. “Then we realized that his issues weren’t just unique to him.

It’s really a societal need.”

For Tomas, his struggle began when the family moved to SLO from Illinois.

Things got worse when he entered high school, where the academic and social expectations ratcheted up. The stress and anxiety started impacting Tomas’ sleep schedule, which in turn affected his mood and ability to concentrate.

Ana and Patrick sought out every private solution they could think of to help him, including therapy and psychiatry, but there was at least one vexing variable: No matter what they did, Tomas’ daily environment at school remained a stressful constant.

“The world doesn’t stop working,” Ana said. “You’re still having to go to school and face your peers when you’re not feeling great.”

That predicament—where students can perceive school as an environment of isolation, stress, and shame—is something that Ana, Patrick, and Kerri Mahoney, a close family friend and SLO High parent who was with Ana when she found Tomas deceased, have set out to better understand and change. Over the past few years, Ana and Mahoney have dedicated themselves to studying the research available on student emotional wellness and mental health, and the gaps that exist in resources, curriculum, and school culture.

“After Tomas took his life, [we] really pursued, OK what else is out there? What did Patrick and I miss? What did we need? What wasn’t available?” Ana said.

Statistical trends on teen suicide are alarming: Between 2007 and 2015, the teen suicide rate among girls doubled and among boys spiked 30 percent, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. A recent Vanderbilt University study found that hospitalizations among children ages 5 to 17 for suicidal thoughts or attempts more than doubled between 2008 and 2015.

“Our kids are at this point where it is a breaking point,” Ana said. “There are a lot of unmet needs and a lot of critical issues that affect students’ learning and their ability to cope with the ups and downs of life.”

And it’s not just high schoolers that educators are seeing struggle. A recent Harvard University study found troubling trends in the mental health of its freshmen between 2010 and 2015.

“Harvard realized something was

different with these freshmen that were coming,” Mahoney said. “They were so amazingly accomplished, they had so much to offer on paper, the GPAs were far beyond anything Harvard has seen, but they were noticing that these kids were really struggling during their first year, struggling socially, struggling with failure.”

To launch their efforts locally, two years ago, Ana and Mahoney helped establish the REACH Club at SLO High School, which meets weekly at lunch and provides a space for students to connect with each other and learn and talk about tools to cope with stress and anxiety.

“It started really small,” said Jennifer Sawyer, a library technician at SLO High and staff advisor to the REACH Club. “We had this idea of let’s just make this really open and inclusive and available for exploring these topics, and see where this goes.”

Since its beginnings, the REACH Club has grown to about 35 student members, has become a positive force on campus, and has even earned national acclaim after appearing in a segment on NBC’s The Today Show. The club is student-run, with guidance from advisors like Sawyer.

Some club meetings are more structured than others, Sawyer said. They’ve hosted therapists, psychologists, and yoga instructors as guest speakers to discuss topics ranging from meditation to social media use. Other meetings are as simple as students engaging in a conversation about something that happened on campus, or a topic they feel like discussing.

In its purest form, the REACH Club carves out an opportunity for students to simply connect as human beings, away from the arena of who got the best grade on the math test, who made the soccer team, or who got into what college.

POSITIVE MESSAGES Kindness is one of the REACH Club’s founding principles, along with wellness and acceptance. The SLO High club meets weekly to connect over mental and emotional wellness and talk coping skills for stress and anxiety.

“Part of what the kids love is they come in and they’re eating lunch together and they’re hanging out in small groups, and the big group, and they’re just getting to know each other,” Sawyer said.

The REACH Club also works together to share kindness and positivity with the rest of the school community. Piggybacking off the popular Take5 initiative at the Cal Poly Kennedy Library, the club brings therapy dogs onto campus during finals week to relieve stress. It also celebrates “kindness month” in March by distributing postcards to peers, staff, and teachers. This past March, REACH Club members put together roughly 700 postcards, each scribed with personalized, heartfelt messages, either compliments or words of encouragement.

“We had a table set up in the quad and students could come and fill out a card for a teacher, staff, or friend on campus,” Sawyer said. “We really encouraged students who were doing it to just be genuine and be as open as you can. ...

Then we as a club we would take charge in sorting and sending.”

A few weeks following the kindness month, The Today Show crew came to town to feature the club as part of a segment about teen stress in the U.S. The show triggered an outpouring of nationwide response.

“People from all over the country contacted myself, Kerri, and Ana saying, ‘We need this. How did you do this?’”

Sawyer said. “It bolstered the feeling that OK, this is not unique.”

Sawyer said she believes the REACH Club is helping students build critical social-emotional skills that they can use to navigate challenges that surface throughout life, not just in high school.

“They’re things we all as human beings

struggle with,” Sawyer said. “If we can help them develop and strengthen those now, they’re going to go into college and life more resilient and better able to handle the pressures.”

For Ana, Patrick, and Mahoney, the REACH Club represents a resource that perhaps could have helped Tomas at his darkest times, that could just maybe deter a teen suicide in the future.

“We wanted to have a place that Tomas would’ve felt comfortable walking into,” Mahoney said.

Committed to propelling forward the conversation on student wellness, Ana and Mahoney also launched mindfulSLO on their website connectbewell.org. They describe it as a think tank for exploring the challenges and solutions at the intersection of education and mental health. As part of that effort, since 2017, Ana and Mahoney have penned weekly “Love Letters to Parents” that go to SLO High School families through Principal Leslie O’Connor’s newsletter. Additionally, the duo is also in discussions with the San Luis Coastal Unified School District about possibly expanding the REACH Club to Morro Bay High School, Laguna Middle School, and other school sites.

It’s a movement that’s building here in SLO County, born from parents seeking to affect positive societal change from personal tragedy.

“Ana and Patrick have chosen to come forward and not hide underneath the covers—because, truly, losing your son, that’s really what you want to do,” Mahoney said. “With bravery, they’ve chosen to take their knowledge, skill set, and passion for other people to start to get to the ground floor of where are the holes.” Δ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

A local nonprofit in Arroyo Grande supplies children and teens with clothes and school supplies for the new school year

BY KAREN GARCIA

A

t first glance it looks like there’s only the Arroyo Grande Care Center—a service-based therapy facility—on the property at 1212 Farroll Ave. But to the left of that facility, many families park their cars and walk toward the back of the building to a blue and green bungalow that can only be described as the sky and the grass. Sunflowers decorate the ramp that leads inside.

It’s a children’s closet created by the Children’s Resource Network of the Central Coast in partnership with Compass Health and senior residents of the Care Center.

Families can grab a couple of pieces of clothing and school supplies to get ready for the new academic year.

Heather Larsen is looking through the rack of girls’ clothes for her young daughter. As she sifts through the pink, purple, and white shirts, she says she doesn’t remember who connected her with the program many years ago. At the time, she was not only raising her own two children, but she had taken in five foster children (her nieces and nephews).

“The program blessed us to actually clothe them all,” Larsen says. “We all have times in our life that we don’t have

everything that we need, and it’s just awesome that our community comes together and takes care of each other.”

She continues to be a single parent and can afford the major necessities—a place to live and food—but she’s appreciative that she can come to the children’s closet to pick up clothes for her daughter that she doesn’t have extra money for. What makes the program special to Larsen is the fact that she feels welcomed and respected.

Lisa Ray greets each parent and child who walks through the door with a smile and a hug. As the founder of the organization, Ray says she knows almost every participant in the program.

“It’s the culture of our organization to have love and respect for all the moms and families that come here. We make sure that they feel that because we’re all moms and we all want our kids to have clothes and school supplies,” Ray says.

She was inspired to start the Children’s Resource Network in 2009, when her local pharmacist was asking for donations for a woman who couldn’t afford essential school supplies and clothes for her children.

“I didn’t have any good hand-medowns but I thought I could definitely put together the backpacks with school supplies. So my kids and I had fun putting those together for the mother,” Ray says.

This occurred around the same time that she joined Facebook, and she made a post asking her friends for donations to help out the mother and her children.

“There were so many bags full of donations that showed up on my doorstep, and still to this day my house is full of donations,” Ray says.

The organization started out in Ray’s home, where donations were sent, sorted through, and distributed to people in need. Since then, she’s expanded from her first children’s closet in Arroyo Grande to teen closets at high schools around the Central Coast.

Lori Klemowicz is the program director for the children’s closet in Arroyo Grande and the teen closets that are housed in some local high school classrooms.

“I get to know a lot of the kids, so I set aside things they like, and they come in and talk to me,” Klemowicz says.

For easy access to the clothing and school supply resources, she says that the classrooms are right on campus. The rooms are set up to look like thrift stores, which can be a fun way for students to come in and shop around for free clothes.

Teen closets are in San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, Nipomo, and Santa Maria high schools; Lompoc Valley Middle School, Santa Maria Pediatric, and Teens Closet.

There are also donation bins at the schools and other locations throughout San Luis Obispo County.

SUPPLIES FOR ALL To make the Children’s Resource Network’s donation center more fun and welcoming, Program Director Lori Klemowicz said they arranged it to look more like a store.

The organization has expanded and grown over the years mainly through word of mouth. It’s something that Ray never dreamed would be so successful, but she doesn’t like to take sole credit for it.

She says she has to thank the people who volunteer their time to the program, her program directors, and the community that has given their donations throughout the year.

“When someone asks for help, to me, it’s a no brainer,” Ray says.

Santa Lucia School maintains its holistic learning traditions after founder retires

BY DELANY BURK

P

eace education, art, and outdoor time are creatively woven into the curriculum at the Santa Lucia School in Templeton. For more than 30 years, the independent, holistic school has educated children from first through eighth grade with a “learn at your own pace” philosophy based on the ideals of Montessori and Waldorf schools.

“Santa Lucia is in some ways, for a teacher, an ideal place to be,” according to Shirley Magnusson, the school’s new director and elementary teacher.

The school has been in transition since the retirement of founder Jan Thompquist two years ago, which has brought about some challenges for Magnusson, including finding new staff members to fit the program and finding a place for herself in the pre-established environment. However, with one year of directing under her belt, and a strong team at her side, Magnusson said she feels settled in now and is excited by the possibilities that lie ahead.

“All organizations have their own culture, and that is really important [to honor],” she said.

Magnusson and the team at Santa Lucia are committed to keeping the legacy and environment of the last 30 years authentic. Traditions like outdoor lessons at the creek allow students to stay in touch with nature, while hands-on art projects—

like working with clay fired in the school’s kiln—can be used for representing ideas and creative expression.

For kids who may struggle in public school, Santa Lucia provides a place where everyone is accepted for their uniqueness, and their differences are nurtured, Magnusson said. Good communication skills are also taught for peaceful conflict resolution.

“We can focus on being good thinkers, which for the lifetime is a very good thing to do,” she said.

Each classroom combines two to three grades, which enables kids to revisit subjects if necessary, while also allowing students to work ahead if they choose.

Because of the multi-age classrooms and the small size of the school (around 48 students), there are opportunities for kids of all ages interact. These friendships, along with a four-day school week, create a learning environment that is very different than public school, which, Magnusson said, is part of what makes Santa Lucia such an amazing place.

“I can tell you as someone who has focused on science education in

particular, I can’t defend the full set of standards that exist for any particular grade level,” Magnusson said. “We can be selective about our emphases [at Santa Lucia], working with big ideas that are important for anybody to build deep understandings.”

Throughout her first year as director, she said, she carefully observed things to get the whole story of the school, checking in with the parents and teachers, making sure she got things right.

“Our board consists of parents, some of whom are currently a part of the community at the school—their own children are at the school right now,” Magnusson said. “In other cases, they’re parents whose children have gone on to other places, but they are still really committed to the school’s concept and willing to put their time into nurturing the school. So there is a lot of history there and knowledge of the school’s culture.”

Their deep knowledge of the history and priorities of the school is something Magnusson has relied on in moving the school forward.

She will be teaching in the intermediate class (fourth through sixth grade) this year. She feels that her extensive background as a teacher, and the addition of a very experienced teacher in the primary classroom (first through third) will enhance the learning opportunities in those classrooms tremendously, especially since teachers at Santa Lucia design their own curriculums.

“We are supporting the development of human beings,” Magnusson said.

“And ‘being’ is part of that phrase. I think we sometimes forget about that.” Δ Reach New Times intern Delany Burk through the editor at clanham@ newtimesslo.com.

Workshop gives school board candidates a glimpse at the ins and outs of the job

BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS

EDUCATION

F

ew things are more exciting than the rush of winning an election: Watching the ballot count grow in your favor, the cheers when you are confirmed as the winner, the acceptance speech, and the big balloon drop (if your campaign’s got the cash for it). But when it’s all over and the rush is gone, winning candidates must then get down to the nitty-gritty business of actually governing.

George Galvan is currently serving as an elected trustee on the SLO County board of education. A former Atascadero school board member, Galvan was first elected to office 13 years ago. When asked what aspect of being a newly elected school board member was the most surprising, Galvan didn’t have a glamorous answer, but instead brought up the Brown Act, a wonky tome of public meetings laws that lays out guidelines and procedures for elected boards across the state.

“The Brown Act is really important, and there’s a lot to learn about it,” Galvan told New Times. “If you are going to be a good board member, you’ve really got to understand the Brown Act.” It’s this type of meat-and-potatoes

advice that school board candidate hopefuls in SLO got at a Aug. 6 workshop organized by the SLO County Office of Education. The workshop, which the office holds each election season, gives prospective school board candidates a broad look at the job and its many responsibilities. This year, topics included school board meeting preparation; the three roles of a board member (elected official, volunteer, and “employee”); and, of course, the basics of the Brown Act. Guest speakers included Galvan, San Luis Coastal Unified School District school board member Ellen Sheffer, and SLO County Superintendent James Brescia.

“For citizens that are thinking about or interested in running, it’s really a chance to give them an overview of what it’s like,” said Valerie Kraskey, administrative manager for the SLO County Office of Education.

WOULD YOU LIKE A SCHOOL WITH MORE FLEXIBILITY?

Family Partnership Charter School provides multiple learning options, flexible scheduling and skilled teachers who encourage and support your success!

Kraskey said that many new candidates are surprised to learn about the significant time commitment required for school board members. In addition to the regular board meetings, there’s prep time, visits to school campuses, and attendance at events.

“It’s a big job, and our trustees and board members have been doing it for many years,” she said. “They are sort of unsung heros. It’s government at a very local level, and the general public does not always see that.”

Galvan said that he thought one of the most important personality traits that a good school board member should have is the ability to listen.

“You need to listen to everyone: staff, parents, students, other board members.

You can learn a lot,” he said. “Sometimes it’s better to just listen than say something.”

Galvan is currently running unopposed

BACK TO SCHOOL More than 33 candidates are running for positions on school boards in 11 of SLO County’s local school districts, as well as the county board of education. To help them out, the SLO County Office of Education held an Aug. 6 workshop outlining the duties and responsibilities for prospective candidates.

for re-election to the county board of education in the November elections. He is one of 33 candidates who have filed to run for positions in 11 school districts in the county. That isn’t counting races for college educational board positions also on the ballot. The filing deadline to run for those board seats closed Aug. 12.

If you’re lucky enough to be elected to serve on a school board, Galvan said the experience can be rewarding.

“You are entrusted with the education of people’s children,” he said. “It makes you a little humble, and it makes you really think about how important education is. It’s the foundation of this country and our democracy.” Δ Staff Writer Chris McGuinness can be reached at cmcguinness@newtimesslo.com.

Totally bitchin’!

Truth About Seafood revives the ’70s at Concerts in the Plaza

I

t’s bitchin’, tubular, totally boss, to the max, blazin’, it’s the bomb, it’s totally far out, man! I’m talking about Truth About Seafood’s new ’70s milieu video for their song “Extra High,” a rockin’ metal party tune they’ve set to a retro film genre.

As it begins, the familiar (at least to us old folks) Motion Picture Association rating placard comes up, indicating that the film you’re about to see is rated R, “for radical.” Then you see a ’70s panel van screaming down a dirt road before cutting to the various band members in full party mode in a Jacuzzi, under a disco ball, on a boat, and practicing breaking boards karate-style before introducing their video personas: Jeff Minnery as “The Stash,” Brad Daane as “Rex Bogart,” Wyatt Lund as “Sexy Beast,” and Pakes as “Pakes.”

Truth About Seafood formed way back in 1992, and was one of those almost-made-it-big acts. One former member, Paul Bostaph, was a member of Slayer, and it seemed like they were going to get signed to a label. Instead, after some independent releases, they disbanded around 1999 before reforming in SLO Town a few years later with original members Minnery and Daane.

The guys all have real jobs now, but they still rock. When Daane emailed me to tell me about their new video, he suggested I might try a story angle like, “How long are you guys going to play

FROM BACH TO THE BEATLES: FEATURING GUITARIST TED WISE Selections range from standard classical guitar repertoire to

music and act like children?” I have to say, they do look like kids in a candy shop in this video, which they’ve even constructed a fake backstory for.

“In 1978, local rock band Truth About Seafood was engaged by Warner Bros. Entertainment (then Warner Communications) to make a fulllength feature film. Due to a series of unfortunate mishaps and a corresponding union strike, the movie known only by its working title Extra High, was pulled from production and shelved. A protracted legal battle then ensued between Warner Bros. and Truth About Seafood, which ended up costing both parties millions of dollars in attorney fees. However, in January 2018, the litigation finally resolved in a settlement wherein Truth About Seafood gained rights to the existing film footage, the rights to the one-song soundtrack, one thousand dollars ($1,000) in cash, and a 19” black and white television set. “‘I don’t know how we are going to pay back all that money we borrowed, but we may be willing to part with the TV,’ said singer, Minnery, in a recent press release.

“Truth About Seafood has now compiled the remaining film footage into a video for its previously unreleased and unheard 1978 song ‘Extra High.’ “‘We are pleased to finally get this horrible chapter behind us, but we are happy with the settlement,’ said Brad Daane (bass guitar/vocals). “‘I am extremely irritated about all of this, which is nothing more than an embarrassment to the band. Plus, Warner Bros. lost key footage of us at the animal farm,’ added Justin Pecot (lead guitar/vocals). contemporary covers of show tunes and rock ballads, as well as original compositions.

BOSSES Truth About Seafood brings their ’70s-style metal to Concerts in the Plaza on Aug. 17.

“‘I don’t remember filming any of this; however, it does appear that my likeness is represented in the 1978 film,’ Wyatt Lund (drums/vocals) finished.”

Watch the video on the band’s Facebook page or YouTube; bust out your bellbottoms, suede fringe vests, platform shoes or roller skates; and head to Concerts in the Plaza this Friday, Aug. 17, to see Truth About Seafood ripping through their set of ’70s-style metal.

“We apologize in advance for wasting everyone’s time watching the video, but we really need to salvage this disaster,” Daane said. “Usually, a good deli tray and a case of Hamm’s cures just about everything.”

Conductor is GNTX’s third full-length, which, according to the band, “wanders through the American Southwest in the early decades of the 20th century. It’s a moment when the United States has claimed the land from sea to shining sea, poised to become the world power, a great furnace of both progress and destruction.”

“This is, by far, our absolutely most political record we’ve ever done,” guitarist/vocalist Darius Koski said in press materials. “We don’t generally write very pointedly political songs. We tend to be a little more vague and abstract. But this one is pretty pointedly disgusted and pissed off and really directly attacking these fuckin’ people in office.”

“I agree it is our most political record,” singer Johnny Bonnel added. “When sexism, racism, and nationalism is the agenda, it’s time to speak up.”

STARKEY from page 36

East’s newest, Encore, has already charted two singles, “All on My Mind,” which hit No. 1, and “Girlfriend,” which climbed to No. 5.

More music ...

Stuck in Stereo (aka William “Bill” Yanes) plays Puffers in Pismo this Saturday, Aug. 18 (4:30 p.m.). “Me, a guitar, and a binder crammed full of radio-friendly pop songs I cherry-picked from FM playlists in every popular category over the last five decades” is how Yanes describes his show. Hear everything from Luther Ingram, to Neil Diamond, to Foo Fighters.

Summer Crush III will be at the Nautical Bean (2010 Parker St., SLO) on Saturday, Aug. 18 (6 to 9 p.m.; all ages; free). Enjoy drag performances

by Krystal Methatic, Regina Flores, Atropa Belladonna, Juicy CuntWhore, and Nala Diamond; comedy by Michael Zalusky and friends; and live music by Hayley and the Crushers, plus a living tiki art scene crafted by local artist Neal Breton and Reid Cain. “Is it cool? Is it lame?

Did they like it, share it, or ignore it altogether? Our new single ‘Blue and Green’ is all about letting go of that constant anxiety—if you can hack it!”

Hayley of the Crushers said. “Living on the sleepy Central Coast of California, the sea is a constant reminder of what’s actually real. Our music reflects the tension of living in a small town: It’s half sugary dream, half neurotic nightmare.”

BRANDI CARLILE GET DIRTY Dirty Cello plays the third annual Bluegrass, Blues, and Buffalos at Lazy Arrow Adventures in Santa Margarita on Aug. 18.

Dirty Cello plays the third annual Bluegrass, Blues, and Buffalos at Lazy Arrow Adventures in Santa Margarita this Saturday, Aug. 18 (6 to 9 p.m.; all ages; $15 at brownpapertickets. com). Don’t miss this fun Bay Area blues and bluegrass band, as well as Miss Leo and her Bluegrass Boys, a traditional local string band. Bring your own stuff to grill, if you want.

If you love the music of the ’60s, check out the Woodstock 49th Anniversary Show with Unfinished Business at The Siren this Saturday, Aug. 18 (7:30 p.m.; $15).

“Grab your tie dye and come help us celebrate the 49th birthday of the biggest rock festival in music history,” the venue said.

Female-fronted prog rock and psychedelic act Imagery Machine plays Frog and Peach on Saturday, Aug. 18 (10 p.m.;

21-and-older; free). If you like Florence + The Machine and La Roux, you’ll dig them.

“We’re currently in the middle of a project we call ‘The Monthly Machine’ where we release a new single every month in 2018, culminating in our first full-length LP,” frontwoman Jennie Lynn said. ∆

Morro Bay artist brings ornamental turning to the Central Coast

I

t happened purely by chance.

Rob Lichty was a mechanical engineering student studying away in the Cal Poly library and he needed a break. As a side hobby, Lichty did woodworking and built cabinets for cash, so naturally he moseyed over to that section of the library. He reached into the bookshelves and, at random, grabbed one on ornamental turning, an ancient craft Details that involves cutting To see and find out more about shapes and designs into Rob Lichty’s ornamental turning a material like bone, pieces, visit his sites, engineturner. metal, or wood by using com and p4pjewelry.com. a tool that must be kept rotating.

Lichty was hooked.

HOME SWEET HOME One of Rob Lichty’s engraved pieces features Morro Rock in “As a mechanical engineer who was the background. really into woodworking, I kind of freaked out,” he said.

Years later, Lichty is self-taught in the art of ornamental turning and continues his craft at his same studio in Morro Bay where he also works as an engineer in product design development to create medical equipment and sports equipment.

While Lichty’s day job is decidedly modern, his chosen art has roots going back to the early 1500s when turning spread in places like England, Russia, Germany, Austria, and Prussia to create delicate, intricately carved pieces out of materials like ivory. It was even part of the education of princes.

“If you were a good ornamental turner, it was assumed you would be a good ruler, though it has nothing to do with people,” Lichty said. “It’s a very solitary art, though it does teach things like precision and patience.”

Although ornamental turning isn’t an art most are familiar with today, highprofile artisans like Peter Carl Fabergé used the method on intricately designed AN ANCIENT ART Some of the equipment that artist Rob Lichty uses for ornamental eggs made of jewels for the Russian turning dates back to the 1800s.

Imperial family in the late 1800s. Tiffany & Co. even used the method at one point during both World Wars in Europe. In the next few years, for engraving its high-end jewelry for clients.

Lichty hopes to open a second space to serve as a nonprofit Now, Lichty is hoping to bring the intricate and timeornamental turning museum and studio, where underserved intensive art form to the Central Coast. In his studio, he has kids and single moms can learn Lichty’s craft. several lathes and rose engine machines used for ornamental “They can sell the art through the museum and part of the turning. The oldest machine dates back to 1840. Such proceeds will go towards keeping the museum open and part equipment is hard to come by as much of it was lost or destroyed will go towards an account for that person for further education or if they want to buy their own piece of equipment to make and sell jewelry,” he said.

Lichty’s personal workspace in Morro Bay is currently open by appointment to any one looking to learn more about a forgotten aspect of art and history. Ornamental turning work accounts for about 15 percent of the orders Lichty receives from clients. Using materials like African black wood or precious metals, Lichty spends hours creating bottle stoppers, napkin holders, jewelry, and picture frames.

“Once you start a pattern, you can’t stop until it’s finished or you’ve ruined a whole piece,” Lichty said. “It’s exceptionally rare, unique, really not something you’re going to find today. It’s beautiful work.” Δ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is bringing back an afternoon break for tea. Contact her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

What follows is Stallworth’s awakening, which leads him to attempt to infiltrate the KKK, first by phone, speaking to local chapter president Walter Breachway (Ryan Eggold).

rally in Charlottesville. While we realized our timing only after the fact, the film’s release and the horrifying events of just a year ago coincide with thought and vigor. The easy way out would be to end this film with some feel-good quippy lines about success and sticking it to the man, but Spike Lee doesn’t fall for the ease of a quick fix. Instead he confronts his audience with God’s honest truth: This isn’t a problem that was solved then, and it isn’t solved now. Interjecting all too familiar phrases about “making America great again” pokes fun at the obvious parallels between politics and divisiveness consistent throughout time and on through today. While the message is a powerhouse, it certainly isn’t the only thing going for this film.

Stylized and sexy in those classic ’70s tones, the look is warm and vibrant. The way Spike Lee set up shots in this film is really interesting. When Flip was posing as an up-and-coming KKK hopeful, he was palling around with his “brothers,” but my pulse always quickened and the energy from the characters—Felix especially—was stifling. My inner voice was screaming, “Get out of there!” And while he managed to fool the white-lovin’ group of dumbasses for long enough, the fear of getting found out was never far from the surface.

Glen It would be easy to accuse this film of not knowing what it wants to be.

There’s the thriller tension of undercover work, the comic biting humor of a spoof, the real political commentary of current politics—but instead of being disjointed, I’d describe the film as a deftly combined mash-up. It’s all those things, and it does all of them with spot-on competence and lucidity. All those various genres and tones are the set-up for the finale.

While you’re laughing at the comedy and feeling smug that the racists will get their just deserts, Lee is teeing you up for the mother of all wake-up calls, and I heard audience members stifling tears and gasps. If at the end you feel guilty for laughing along with the film, I’d say that’s exactly what Lee intended. Yes, Lee is preaching to the choir, but he’s also telling the choir we need to do more than just feel the feels and talk the talk—racism remains a real, insidious, thoroughly entrenched problem in America, as recent

events in Charlottesville and Ferguson attest. It’s not enough to simply feel outraged; it’s time for political action.

This is absolutely a film that captures our troubling zeitgeist.

Anna After the screen went dark, we sat as an audience crying together for a minute. I haven’t felt that sort of collective punch-to-your-gut heartache from a film in a long time. If you can manage to make me cry the day after I see a film, when time and reflection have washed away the raw bits, I’m impressed. This is one that did that. While it does sort of feel like a “mean trick” to let us have all this fun and success taking down this chapter of the KKK, then pull away the mask in the last few moments, it makes it more potent.

It’s important to recognize our reality and to make the hard choices, to get up and march, to shout out loud that it’s not OK, and to both educate and punish those who take it upon themselves to treat fellow humans as less than. BlacKkKlansman may be the story of this undercover investigation, but it’s also the story of crooked cops, the black relationship with law enforcement, and the balance that falls somewhere between resistance and violence when lives are at stake. I hope this one stays in theaters with seats packed for a long time. It’s a gem. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

They smeared him. They went to war to defeat him. In the end, they assassinated him. Now the target of the Democrats is President Trump and his supporters. The Left calls them racists, white supremacists, and fascists. These charges are used to justify driving Trump from office and discrediting the right “by any means necessary.” Can we come together and save America for the second time? (109 min.)

hen I first saw a Yorgos Lanthimos film, it was The Killing of A Sacred Deer (2017) and I was a little wine drunk. A friend and I were looking to watch a good horror movie, and as she pressed play, I remember settling in with a glass of Two-Buck Chuck, ready to be sorely disappointed by yet another cheesy movie about a family moving into a haunted house.

But the next two hours were filled with the most perplexing, original, and truly unsettling storytelling I’d ever seen. It was somehow painfully creepy and hilarious all at once, both beautiful and disgusting—a perfect reflection of my feelings about our society today.

I loved it, and I took my passion straight to the Internet, where I found a list of Yorgos Lanthimos’ movies and watched them all (not all in one day, I swear I have a life). Dogtooth, for innumerable reasons, is my favorite.

Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of normal life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again. (118 min.)

LEAVE NO TRACE What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Rent it Where’s it showing? The Palm From director Debra Granik (Down to the Bone, Winter’s Bone, Stray Dog) comes a heartbreaking story of a homeless father and daughter struggling to find their place in the world, while the public tries to change them and wall them in.

Thomasin McKenzie (The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies) plays Tom, a teenage girl living in the woods with her father, Will, played by Ben Foster (Hell or High Water, Alpha Dog). They’re comfortable where they are, staying hidden from the public and only going into town to get

Stergioglou and Michele Valley) and their three children—one son (Hristos Passalis) and two daughters (Angeliki Papoulia and Mary Tsoni)—who are locked away on the family’s spacious property. None of the family members are named, and only the father ever leaves.

He has total control over his kids, who, despite appearing to be adults, carry the innocence and play the games of young children throughout the movie. They know nothing of the real world, only what falsities their inexplicably manipulative parents have told them: that rabid cats roam the earth, hungry for human flesh. That kids can only leave home when a canine—a “dogtooth”— falls out. That their father is the only person who can protect them from the dangerous world outside.

He’s abusive physically, sexually, and emotionally, and as the father’s lies and demands become increasingly sinister, the eldest daughter grows restless and becomes difficult to manage.

It’s a powerful and insanely unusual film that moves from disturbing to comedic with ease, and yet before I watched it, I hadn’t heard much about it.

Sure, Rotten Tomatoes has Dogtooth rated at a 92 percent; Roger Ebert gave it a three out of four; and it’s racked up dozens of accolades (including a Best Foreign Language Film nomination at the 2010 Academy Awards). But Dogtooth still hasn’t garnered

medicine from a veterans’ medical center to sell to other people in a camp nearby. They live comfortably and enjoy living in the woods rather than in a home.

One day a hiker spots Tom and calls the police, resulting in both Tom and Will being brought in and evaluated before eventually finding a place for both of them to live on a farm. Will struggles with working there due to the helicopters triggering his posttraumatic stress disorder, and when he decides to leave, Tom begins to question why they must continue to live off the grid.

The movie is moving in its depiction of the somewhat undocumented topics of veteran and familial homelessness, and PTSD causing alienation. The acting is wonderful and amazingly emotional, down to Tom’s chin quivering when she begins to cry, while Will’s silence and exhaustion speak to his alienation from others—and his PTSD—very well.

However, the movie is repetitive. Will is stuck in a rut and unwilling to change, even for Tom. Each time the two move or camp somewhere else, it doesn’t work out and something goes wrong. The behaviors and character traits that you think are going to change, or seem to be changing, don’t develop in a positive way and instead deteriorate, and while this is accurate to the struggles shown in the film, it doesn’t make for a happy ending or a feel-good movie.

Leave No Trace is stressful and will have you on the edge of your seat, as one bad thing

after another befalls the pair. Each comforting or encouraging scene is followed up by a sad or anxious one. And Tom must adapt and become more of an adult than she should have to at such a young age.

The movie is sad but beautiful and accurate; it’s worth seeing in order to explore the truth about homelessness and PTSD, and it’s a very bittersweet depiction of a family struggle.

macho spy movie. Instead, the film focused more on slapstick and vagina jokes than poking fun at a film type that’s usually absurdist, infantile, misogynistic fantasy.

That’s not to say The Spy wasn’t fun. McKinnon—who does most of the comedic heavy lifting—and Kunis seem to be having a good time as two fish-outof-water average gals who relish diving headfirst into adventure. As a summer popcorn comedy it fills the bill, but the premise seems somewhat wasted on this lowbrow joke fest. (116 min.)

THE MEG What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Sunset Drive-In Jon Turteltaub (Phenomenon, Instinct, National Treasure) directs Jason Statham as former Naval Capt. Jonas Taylor, whose career and marriage were destroyed after he abandoned part of his crew during a failed exploration of the Mariana Trench in what he claimed was an attack by a 70-foot shark. Five years later, when a sub crew is stranded in what may be an attack by the supposedly long-extinct 70-foot Carcharodon Megalodon, Taylor is recruited to attempt a rescue.

Man, did I want this to be good. Action hero Jason Statham (The Transporter, The Italian Job, Crank) is a badass, Rainn Wilson (The Office, Juno, The Rocker) is usually hilarious, and who doesn’t love a humongous shark? Sadly, The Meg is a steaming pile of chum.

Wilson plays Jack Morris, the moneyman behind Mana One, a research center trying to prove that under a freezing cloud of hydrogen sulfide at the bottom of the Mariana Trench lies an even deeper unexplored world. Soon his submersible crew—Taylor’s ex-wife, Lori (Jessica McNamee); Toshi (Masi Oka); and The Wall (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson)—are stranded 6 miles below, so after encouragement by head researcher Dr. Minway Zhang (Winston Chao) but against the advice of team physician Dr. Heller (Robert Taylor), Morris travels to Thailand to recruit Taylor, who now spends his days drunk on beer while simultaneously retaining his amazing six-pack abs.

Taylor agrees to attempt the rescue after he learns his ex-wife, Lori, is on board, but he almost immediately falls for Zhang’s daughter Suyin (Bingbing Li). Long story short, his rescue opens a hole in the hydrogen sulfide cloud, and up swims a shark so big it can bite a whale in half.

What’s not to like, right? Well, first of all, the film’s minor attempts at humor fall flat. If this film had approached its story with the sort of campy hilarity of,

say, Piranha 3D (2010), it might have been salvaged. Instead, it plays it straight, and another movie—2010’s Deep Blue Sea with Thomas Jane—already told a similar story better.

Then there’s the CGI shark, which looks really sinister but seems to be of inconsistent size, probably because different teams of CGI programmers were working on different scenes. I’ll take the old rubber shark from Jaws (1975) any day over this series of ones and zeros. The Meg has none of the menace and psychological terror of a film like Open Water (2003) or The Shallows (2016), and none of the fun of Sharknado (2013).

And don’t even get me started about the science. Wouldn’t a giant shark species thought to be extinct for 2 million years but trapped in total darkness at the bottom of the sea evolve into a sightless creature?

A good shark movie should make you afraid to go in the ocean and play on your irrational fears. The Meg just makes me afraid to go back to the multiplex, at least until we get closer to Oscar season. (113 min.)

Jack Reacher, Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation) helms this action-packed sixth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, starring Tom Cruise as super spy Ethan Hunt. The new film ties together narratives and characters from earlier films, including IMF (Impossible Mission Force) team members Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), Hunt’s Rogue Nation love interest and fellow spy Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), and Hunt’s ex-wife Julia Meade (Michelle Monaghan) from Mission: Impossible III. In addition to a series of amazing action sequences the film manages to conjure up emotional elements as well, since Hunt must protect both Julia and Ilsa and prove to the powers-that-be, that saving both the one and the many is the real job of the IMF. It also culminates in the mother of all

action finales. If you like this series, Fallout is a worthy successor. (147 min.)

Hot August Bikes! I Cyclists gather to celebrate all things bike

@getoutslo

t’s Saturday, Aug. 11, and my wife, Anna, and I are on our bicycles riding toward the new Central Coast Brewing for Hot August Bikes, a fundraising event for Bike SLO County, a nonprofit advocacy group that encourages bicycling.

When we pull into the parking lot, we see a whole lot of bikes toward the back of the property, so we ride on and discover a bike valet will park our bikes for free.

“Don’t scratch the paint, my good man.”

We take our valet tag and head to the entrance, where volunteers are collecting a $5 admission fee. The event features a bike show with classic, daily driver, and art bike categories, and admission includes a ticket to vote for your favorite bike as well as a raffle ticket for some cool gift baskets donated by local vendors. Because we rode our bikes, we also get $2 off tickets for our first beer, which we get immediately because it’s hot as balls out.

Tucked behind a bunch of storage containers, which create a little corral in back of the brewery, are line after line of bitchin’ bicycles, some new, most old, and a lot weird. There are tall bikes, where one frame has been welded onto another; vintage bikes with period-correct customizations; and commuter bikes, the utilitarian sort that people ride every day to work or school.

There’s got to be more than 100 people back here, and we see a lot of friends from the bicycling community. Bike SLO County Development and Events Coordinator Emily McBride organized the event, which she says was inspired by one of her group’s donors.

“We had an event at The Libertine downtown and a donor approached me and said, ‘All the bikes parked out front are amazing. You should BICYCLE BEAUTIES (Left to right) do a bike show where people Rebecca Kallal, Natalia Hogue Wellman, can come and check out each and Cyndi Hafley enjoy some craft beer and other’s bikes,’ which sounded bicycle camaraderie at Hot August Bikes, a like a great idea,” McBride fundraising bike show for Bike SLO County says, “so here we are.” on Aug. 11 at Central Coast Brewing.

There’s a real sense of camaraderie in the air.

Bicyclists are definitely a breed apart—inherently environmentalists as a well as fitness buffs—and the Bike SLO County organization is something they can get behind. It goes into schools and teaches bike safety and education; it advocates for better bike infrastructure to make riding safer and easier; and it inspires people to take up the joy of cycling. They also run the Bike Kitchen (860 Pacific St., suite 105, SLO), a maintenance education space that teaches people how to fix their bicycles. They provide the tools and instruction; you do the work, from fixing a flat to truing a wheel or adjusting a derailer.

McBride says she hopes to make Hot August Bikes an annual event, and judging from the turnout, it sounds like a plan. People are drinking CCB’s craft beers and eating their delicious pub food, looking at and talking all things bicycle, and soon it’s time for the awards and the raffle prizes.

The winners are called up, cheered on, and soon we’re all on our bikes and headed out, the call of the open road before us. Ride on! Δ Glen Starkey is New Times’ senior staff writer. Contact him at gstarkey@ newtimesslo.com.

You might be familiar with their popular flagship location on Higuera Street near the SLO County Office building downtown.

“We’ve had a lot of clients missing the fact that we aren’t doing the sandwiches or lunch items from the other location here. With this toast bar concept, we can still have the great meats, the ham and the bacon; we just allow people to make up their own toast,” Evans said. “You can make it as decadent or as simple as you want.”

If you ask me, perfectly browned toast—made with fresh baked bread—is the best vehicle for protein, fat, and fruit.

It’s portable and versatile, effortlessly changing toppings to accommodate breakfast, lunch, snack, and dessert.

“Avocado toast” may reign supreme on hip brunch menus and most Instagram feeds, but this is just the tip of the crumbly iceberg. Banana and honey with almond butter, bacon bits, and a kick of fiery cayenne; salty pumpkin seeds sprinkled over velvety smoked salmon, soft cheese, and a squeeze of citrus; heirloom tomatoes with basil, EVOO, and flaky pink salt: These are all sensational adornments that transform a toasted slab of yeast, water, and flour into a real meal.

In short, I might be bold enough to proclaim that topped toasts are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

@flavorslo seeds and nuts used in the company’s own bread can now be used to sprinkle on top, so you know it’s good. The spreads are top notch, the feta is fresh, and the hummus is hearty.

“We utilized what we already had available and then added from there,” Evans said. “You’re still going to get that great fresh baked bread and great fixings for breakfast and lunch options, but the toast bar allows this space to remain optimal for baking and making the pastries and all that.”

Flavor FLAVOR from page 51

Even if you choose the simple chutney to drape over your slice, you can rest assured it’s made in-house (this is one famous element brought over from the original locale). A counter well-stocked with muffins, bread, pastries, coffee, and other grab-and-go options allows busy morning folks to get where they need to go. A long community table invites the more slow-paced set to mingle while reading the newspaper.

So, what will your go-to toast become?

“You can do everything from peanut or almond butter with banana or apple to, in the spring, avocado toast with strawberries and toasted nuts,” Evans said. “Some people like sweet toast, some like savory, and everyone has their own opinion of how much to put on top.”

If you’ve never considered your own toast style, now is the time to ponder.

Peppery arugula greens with smoked salmon and cream cheese? Or hazelnut spread with honey?

All that matters is that you leave your traditional toast conceptions at the door.

Trust me.

It pays to reach beyond the usual swipe of salted butter. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain is still in love with salted butter, although she prefers her toast with avocado, tuna salad, kale, and green goddess dressing. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

Frozen fads forever!

Summer ain’t over. That means more beach days, more barbecues, and more #froséallday. Seems like everyone is whipping up Slurpee-like wine offerings, doesn’t it? Now, Robert Hall Winery in Paso Robles has jumped on the frozen pink bandwagon (some would say just in time). Temps are soaring and regular wine is—let’s admit it—kind of boring in comparison. Stop by the tasting room for cheese plates, a chilled white wine flight, or an award-winning Rose de Robles whipped into an ice cold frosé made with organic fruit and juices. Take a complimentary tour of the state-ofthe-art cavern, one of the largest on the Central Coast, while you’re at it (and yes, it’s extremely chill down there). Sure, frozen wine drinks are the kind of thing that make “serious” wine critics scowl. In my opinion, that’s great! This is going to be that strange summer we collectively look back on and wonder, “Where did that fad come from?” and “How did I get that tattoo?” This is how some of the best memories are made! Don’t take yourself so seriously, Paso Robles. We know you’re all “world renowned” and stuff. Don’t forget to live a little, while you’re still young(ish). Plus, you have purple all over your teeth. I was going to say something earlier, but—you know—brain freeze.

NOTE: THERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

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

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Make a boast about how you’ll pull off a feat you’ve previously lacked the chutzpah to attempt. Testify at freewillastrology.com.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): “The prettier the garden, the dirtier the hands of the gardener,” writes aphorist B. E. Barnes. That’ll be especially applicable to you in the coming weeks. You’ll have extra potential to create and foster beauty, and any beauty you produce will generate practical benefits for you and those you care about. But for best results, you’ll have to expend more effort than maybe you thought you should.

It might feel more like work than play—even though it will ultimately enhance your ability to play.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An astrologer on Tumblr named Sebastian says this about your sign: “Libras can be boring people when they don’t trust you enough to fully reveal themselves. But they can be just as exciting as any fire sign and just as weird as any Aquarius and just as talkative as a Gemini and just as empathetic as a Pisces. Really, Librans are some of the most eccentric people you’ll ever meet, but you might not know it unless they trust you enough to take their masks off around you.” Spurred by Sebastian’s analysis, here’s my advice to you: I hope you’ll spend a lot of time with people you trust in the coming weeks, because for the sake of your mental and physical and spiritual health, you’ll need to express your full eccentricity. (Sebastian’s at venuspapi.tumblr.com.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author and theologian Thomas Merton thought that the most debilitating human temptation is to settle for too little; to live a comfortable life rather than an interesting one. I wouldn’t say that’s always true about you, Taurus. But I do suspect that in the coming weeks, a tendency to settle for less could be the single most devitalizing temptation you’ll be susceptible to. That’s why I encourage you to resist the appeal to accept a smaller blessing or punier adventure than you deserve. Hold out for the best and brightest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I’ve learned quite a lot, over the years, by avoiding what I was supposed to be learning.” So says the wise and well-educated novelist Margaret Atwood.

Judging by your current astrological omens, I think this is an excellent clue for you to contemplate right now. What do you think? Have you been half-avoiding any teaching that you or someone else thinks you’re “supposed” to be learning? If so, I suggest you avoid it even stronger. Avoid it with cheerful rebelliousness. Doing so may lead you to what you really need to learn about next.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Sometimes you make it difficult for me to reach you. You act like you’re listening but you’re not really listening. You semi-consciously decide that you don’t want to be influenced by anyone except yourself. When you lock me out like that, I become a bit dumb. My advice isn’t as good or helpful. The magic between us languishes. Please don’t do that to me now. And don’t do it to anyone who cares about you. I realize that you may need to protect yourself from people who aren’t sufficiently careful with you. But your true allies have important influences to offer, and I think you’ll be wise to open yourself to them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant,” wrote French author Honoré de Balzac. I think that’s an exaggeration, but it does trigger a worthwhile meditation. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in a phase of your cycle when you have maximum power to raise your appreciation of elegance, understand how it could beautify your soul, and add more of it to your repertoire. So here are your homework meditations: What does elegance mean to you? Why might it be valuable to cultivate elegance, not just to enhance your self-presentation, but also to upgrade your relationship with your deep self? (P.S.: Fashion designer Christian Dior said, “Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity.”)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many of us imagine medieval Europe to have been drab and dreary. But historian Jacques Le Goff tells us that the people of that age adored luminous hues: “big jewels inserted into book-bindings, glowing gold objects, brightly painted sculpture, paintings covering the walls of churches, and the colored magic of stained glass.” Maybe you’ll be inspired by this revelation, Virgo.

I hope so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you can activate sleeping wisdom and awaken dormant energy by treating your eyes to lots of vivid reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns, oranges, purples, golds, blacks, coppers, and pinks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A blogger who calls herself Wistful Giselle has named the phenomena that make her “believe in magic.”

They include the following: “illuminated dust in the air; the moments when a seedling sprouts; the intelligence gazing back at me from a crow’s eyes; being awakened by the early morning sun; the energy of storms; old buildings overgrown with plants; the ever-changing grey green blue moods of the sea; the shimmering moon on a cool, clear night.” I invite you to compile your own list, Scorpio. You’re entering a time when you will be the beneficiary of magic in direct proportion to how much you believe in and are alert for magic. Why not go for the maximum?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Since 1969, the 8-foot-2 Big Bird has been the star of the kids’ TV show Sesame Street. He’s a yellow bird puppet who can talk, write poetry, dance, and roller skate. In the early years of the show, our hero had a good friend who no one else saw or believed in: Mr. Snuffleupagus. After 17 years, there came a happy day when everyone else in the Sesame Street neighborhood realized that Snuffy was indeed real, not just a figment of Big Bird’s imagination. I’m foreseeing a comparable event in your life sometime soon, Sagittarius. You’ll finally be able to share a secret truth or private pleasure or unappreciated asset.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Activist and author Simone de Beauvoir was one of those Capricorns whose lust for life was both lush and intricate. “I am awfully greedy,” she wrote. “I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish.”

Even if your longings are not always as lavish and ravenous as hers, Capricorn, you now have license to explore the mysterious state she described. I dare you to find out how voracious you can be if you grant yourself permission.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my reading of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be prime time to vividly express your appreciation for and understanding of the people you care about most. I urge you to show them why you love them. Reveal the depths of your insights about their true beauty. Make it clear how their presence in your life has had a beneficent or healing influence on you. And if you really want to get dramatic, you could take them to an inspiring outdoor spot and sing them a tender song or two.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her book Yarn: Remembering the Way Home, Piscean knitter Kyoko Mori writes, “The folklore among knitters is that everything handmade should have at least one mistake so an evil sprit will not become trapped in the maze of perfect stitches.” The idea is that the mistake “is a crack left open to let in the light.” Mori goes on to testify about the evil spirit she wants to be free of. “It’s that little voice in my head that says, ‘I won’t even try this because it doesn’t come naturally to me and I won’t be very good at it.’” I’ve quoted Mori at length, Pisces, because I think her insights are the exact tonic you need right now. ∆
