County to hold independent review of jail in wake of inmate deaths

A

fter agreeing to pay out millions of dollars to the family of a mentally ill man who died in jail earlier this year, SLO County is gearing up for an independent review of the jail and its protocols.

Speaking to New Times, SLO County Assistant Administrative Officer Guy Savage said the county had not finalized the details and scope of the independent review beyond that it would be a general review of the jail’s procedures. The full scope of the review and further details are expected to be brought before the county Board of Supervisors for approval at a future board meeting.

In July, the county announced a $5-million settlement with the family of Andrew Chaylon Holland, a 36-year-old schizophrenic man who died Jan. 22 of an embolism shortly after spending 46 hours in a restraint chair at the jail. As part of the settlement, the county and the SLO Sheriff’s Office agreed to implement a number of changes at the jail and the county’s behavioral health department. Holland is one of 11 inmates who’ve died in the jail since 2012.

Currently, the FBI is conducting its own investigation and trying to determine if any of the deaths constituted a violation of inmates’ civil rights. Savage said the county wanted to make sure its own independent review did not hamper or interfere with the FBI’s investigation, which began in May. “There’s an ongoing FBI investigation, and we don’t want to be seen influencing that one way or the other,” Savage said.

While the county hammers out the details of its independent review, its supervisors will hold their own discussion about the jail at their Aug. 22 meeting. The item was placed on the agenda after 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill called for a discussion about jail protocols and policies. Hill noted the public

QUESTIONS LINGER As the FBI conducts a civil rights investigation into deaths at the SLO County Jail, SLO County is preparing to initiate its own independent review of the facility’s protocols and policies.

outcry that followed Holland’s death and the announcement of the settlement, indicating that the county owed the public a transparent accounting of what happened.

“We may have met our liability monetarily and legally, but we have not met the moral liability of being able to have this explained in a transparent manner,” Hill said. “The public is due a vetting of what happened.”

The discussion will also include the topic of potentially contracting or outsourcing medical services at the jail. Fifth District Supervisor Debbie Arnold called for agendizing the item at a prior meeting in response to a recent SLO County grand jury report on inmate health and safety. Arnold was the lone vote against placing Hill’s jail discussion item on the Aug. 22 agenda.

Arnold indicated she wants to move forward with making changes instead of going through a review.

“I was as upset as anybody. My approach was to say, ‘You know what? Something’s wrong and we need to change it up to provide medical service so something doesn’t happen again,’” Arnold told New Times. “We’ve been fooling around with these problems for a while now. I want to know right now what is available out there and what does it cost.”

Savage said that the Aug. 22 presentation would be “forward looking.”

“We’re going to be focused on looking at where we’re headed,” he said. “We know what went wrong and where things could’ve been done differently.”

Carrizo Plain remains on Zinke’s monument review list

That has thousands of monument supporters nervous and dreading what may be coming from Zinke. Bryant Baker, conservation director for the Los Padres ForestWatch, a nonprofit organization opposing the review, indicated to New Times that no news isn’t necessarily good news.

“We’re waiting. We hear things, reports shared around internally, that we pick up on,” Baker said. “Boundary reduction is certainly something we’re concerned about. They’re looking at Carrizo to see whether or not they can change the protections so that [oil or gas] drilling could be increased.”

Zinke’s recent announcements triggered a response from U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara), who wrote to Zinke on Aug. 14 asking to take the Carrizo Plain off the review.

“My constituents are increasingly concerned that the Carrizo Plain National Monument, a unique vestige of the Central Valley’s grassland, remains open to possible changes and vulnerable to potential oil and gas development,” Carbajal wrote to Zinke. “I respectfully urge you to leave these designations as they stand.”

As a deadline looms for U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to submit recommendations about potential changes to the status, boundaries, and protections of 27 national monuments established or expanded since 1996, the future of the Carrizo Plain National Monument in San Luis Obispo County remains uncertain.

While Zinke’s recommendations following the 120-day review are due to President Donald Trump by Aug. 24, Zinke recently announced his decisions on six monuments ahead of schedule. He asked that no changes be made to monuments in Idaho, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, and Montana and recommended a boundary reduction to a monument in Utah.

But all is quiet about the Carrizo Plain, the 204,000-acre local monument designated in 2001 under President Bill Clinton, as well as the five other California monuments under review—Berryessa Snow Mountain, Giant Sequoia, Mojave Trails, Sand to Snow, and San Gabriel Mountains.

News NEWS from page 4

Local support for the Carrizo Plain monument has been strong, according to Baker. During a public comment period between May and July, the Department of the Interior received an estimated 15,000 public comments mentioning the Carrizo Plain, he said. In addition, ForestWatch delivered nearly 3,500 letters and postcards written by Central Coast residents to Washington D.C. Given the monument’s economic benefit to the tourism industry, ForestWatch also filed letters from 130 local businesses and the SLO and Atascadero chambers of commerce.

“All were sent in support for the monument,” Baker said.

But not all local leaders stand in such strong opposition to the federal review.

SLO County 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, whose district includes the Carrizo Plain, told New Times that citizens should welcome it. Arnold said she was asked to write a letter opposing the review and declined.

“I’m happy to have a review. Let’s talk about it,” Arnold said. “If changes come out and you don’t like them, then get loud.

But what’s wrong with the review?”

Organizations and agencies throughout California have promised they will get loud if any amendments to the state monuments are pursued. Even the state Attorney General’s Office wrote to the Trump Administration in June promising to challenge any such attempts in court.

No president has ever sought to roll back national monument statuses under the Antiquities Act of 1906.

“This is unchartered territory,” Baker said. “The way we see it is all of these national monuments have been deemed necessary for protection.”

SLO rides another path for Broad Street bicyclists

Setting aside three controversial options to establish a bicycle boulevard on Broad Street, the SLO City Council unanimously directed city staff to come up with some new alternatives.

Dan Rivoire, vice mayor of the city, said the consensus of the council at its Aug. 15 meeting was to further explore the idea of removing some on-street parking on Broad and Chorro streets to accommodate a two-way cycle track—a protected bicycle lane on one side of a road.

“That said, the council wants staff to continue evaluating essentially a nochange alternative or a neighborhood improvements alternative as well,” Rivoire said.

The proposal would entail improving pedestrian crosswalks, adding speed limit signs, and maintaining two-way traffic on Chorro and Broad Street.

While the removal of on-street parking would reduce overall parking availability for homeowners, it wouldn’t hinder driveway access, Rivoire said. He added that the council wants to be sensitive to the neighborhood concerns with the project moving forward.

The initial three options put before the City Council were met with resistance from the communities that would have been impacted by the potential changes.

In the first option, traffic diverters would be put in place at three intersections along Broad Street, which

VIEWER DISCRETION would prevent thru traffic.

That option also included new speed bumps and a traffic circle at Broad and Mountain View streets.

The second alternative would have changed Chorro Street to a one-way northbound street and Broad a southbound oneway street, making space for protected bike lanes. The third option would have put in chicanes, speed bumps, and a roundabout to reduce speeding traffic without dedicated bike lanes.

The goal of the project is to develop a safe route connecting bicyclists from the core of downtown SLO to Foothill Boulevard.

“The intent of this effort is to provide a route that is attractive to not only experienced cyclists, but users of varying ages and ability levels,” the staff report read.

—Karen Garcia and Peter Johnson

Local agencies approve governance structure for Paso groundwater basin

An interagency agreement that sets a governance model for how the overpumped Paso Robles Groundwater Basin will be managed has now been signed by every participating party except the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors, which will vote on it Aug. 22.

The Memorandum of Agreement stipulates how at least five North County agencies will work together to comply with the state’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which requires local water pumpers to write a sustainability plan by Jan. 31, 2020, and attain sustainability by 2040.

On Aug. 15, the Paso Robles City Council executed the agreement following affirmative votes by the Shandon-San Juan Water District, San Miguel CSD, and Heritage Ranch CSD. Under the agreement, each involved agency would send one representative to serve on the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee. First District Supervisor John Peschong is slated to be appointed as the county’s representative.

“The committee would conduct activities related to [sustainability plan] development, development of annual budgets and funding, establishment of a stakeholder participation plan, and development of sustainability metrics and actions,” a county staff report read.

One hopeful party in the negotiations, the fledging Estrella-El Pomar-Creston (EPC) Water District, is still in the administrative process of becoming a district. After the EPC Water District holds elections in November, the Board of Supervisors must vote to allow it into the basin agreement—which isn’t guaranteed since basin members’ votes on the committee are weighted based on the size of their jurisdiction.

Without the EPC Water District, SLO County has a 61 percent vote, the Shandon-San Juan Water District has 20 percent, the city of Paso has 15 percent, and the San Miguel CSD and Heritage Ranch CSD have three and one percent,

6 • New Times • August 17 - August 24, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

respectively.

With the EPC Water District in the agreement, the county’s voting power would be reduced to 32 percent.

Dana Merrill, the EPC Water District formation chair and owner of Mesa Vineyard Management, said that the district would provide funding to the basin management that would otherwise be on the shoulders of the countywide taxpayers.

“It’s pretty plain that they ought to [allow the EPC Water District into the agreement],” Merrill said. “It’s going to save everybody a lot of trouble and money.”

Public Works Director Wade Horton said that after the Board of Supervisors decides on the agreement, the committee meetings would likely commence within 30 days.

Sheriff warns public against confronting illegal marijuana growers

Local do-gooders thinking of taking on illegal marijuana growers should think twice, according to a recent warning from the SLO County Sheriff’s Office.

On Aug. 10, the department took to social media to warn residents against confronting suspected criminals involved in illegal marijuana growing operations, indicating that doing so could endanger their safety or even their lives.

The warning, posted to the Sheriff ’s Office Facebook page, pointed to the Aug. 7 death of 47-year-old Madera County resident Timothy Fadgen as an example of the dangers of confronting illegal marijuana cultivators. According to reports from the Associated Press, Fadgen was shot and killed after he confronted three men illegally growing marijuana near the edge of his property in Oakhurst.

“As a result, the Sheriff ’s Office is reminding folks, if you see something, don’t take matters into your own hands,” the Facebook post read. “Call your local law enforcement agency and let them handle the situation.”

The warning comes as the Sheriff’s

by Jayson Mellom

Office expects the county to experience a higher number of illegal pot grows than the pervious year, thanks to the heavy rains that hit the county in early 2017. While the deluge may have been a gift for local drought-parched vineyards and farms, it was also a boon for illegal growers, who count on that water for their illicit grows.

“In the past, illegal grows would divert water from nearby streams and creeks to irrigate the marijuana plants. They would also create small reservoirs to store the water for irrigation,” Sheriff’s spokesman Tony Cipolla wrote in an email response to questions from New Times. “The drought dried up those creeks and streams. Now with the recent rains, those water sources are once again running.

And we anticipate the illegal grows will once again begin diverting the water for their plants.”

According to data from the department, the sheriff’s narcotics unit seized 31,750 marijuana plants in 2016, down from 49,410 plants the previous year. The department has seized 6,550 plants so far this year.

Illegal grows are often found in remote areas and can present an environmental hazard, according to sheriff’s officials. In June 2016, the department discovered more than 7,400 plants in a massive illegal cultivation operation tucked away in a rugged area of the Los Padres National Forest in rural San Luis Obispo.

“This type of operation, besides being illegal, produces many environmental hazards including toxic pesticide and chemical runoff, altering the natural water flow to be used for irrigation, and generating large amounts of trash,” the department said in a written statement issued shortly after the bust.

Taking a mulligan With no water to save Dairy Creek Golf Course, El Chorro Regional Park is in for major changes

T

he water crisis at Dairy Creek Golf Course in El Chorro Regional Park is so dire right now, only its greens can afford to be green. Everything else is dry and brown, blending in almost seamlessly with the surrounding Chorro Valley.

Three months have passed since the county-owned course received its last allocation of water from the state-owned California Men’s Colony (CMC) prison until December. The remaining water sits in three storage ponds, judiciously used

by Dairy Creek staff to help maintain at least a semblance of what was once considered one of the top public golf courses in the state.

Designed by renowned golf course architect John Harbottle and opened to the public in 1997, Dairy Creek was lauded for its innovative design, picturesque setting, and professional level of difficulty.

The course’s head golf professional, Matt Kradduck, described the course’s value as aesthetic and athletic.

“The course is not only a place to play golf, but a piece of art,” Kradduck told New Times.

But Dairy Creek’s water supply— reclaimed water from the neighboring CMC—depends on the prison having a steady population. When California

passed prison re-alignment in 2011, the number of inmates at CMC started to decline. Dairy Creek’s water supply—the lifeblood of a golf course—did the same.

CMC’s conservation measures during the drought compounded the shortage, and by 2016, the county was receiving less than half of what it needed.

Today, amid record-low playership at Dairy Creek (down nearly 50 percent from prior years), the entire SLO County golf enterprise is in financial peril, needing help from the general fund to stay afloat, with $5.2 million of a bond still left to repay.

As a result, Dairy Creek and El Chorro Regional Park won’t look the same in the future. “[The community] is showing us that a brown golf course is not desirable,” said Josh Heptig, the county golf course superintendent. “Unfortunately, we’ve got to make some changes.”

Tough decisions What will happen if Dairy Creek’s temporary storage ponds are drained before December?

“Nothing,” the county Board of Supervisors said on June 6 when it decided not to augment the course with Whalerock

Reservoir water, a drinking water source that three supervisors didn’t want to use for golf fairways after the devastating drought.

“Sometimes, you have to cut your losses and say, ‘We need to re-evaluate what we’re doing,’” 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton said at the meeting before casting the deciding “no” vote. Compton’s words were devastating to the local golfers who packed the chambers that day to defend the course.

“Everybody’s sad,” Kradduck said on Aug. 11.

The county’s new plan is to convert Dairy Creek to a nine-hole course. The back nine holes will remain, while the front nine will be used to accommodate a bigger driving range and possibly a three- to five-hole practice facility—if Cal Poly wants to provide the water and other resources, Heptig said.

He said Dairy Creek could benefit from the county-owned well on site currently shared with CMC. The well could be the difference between a completely green course and a course that looks more like the current one.

“It will take a lot of political negotiations for us to be able to use that water on the golf course,” he noted.

Dairy Creek would also be rebranded to a “grow-the-game” facility, as Heptig called it, welcoming all skill levels of golfers.

While that might make a veteran player wince, Heptig said Dairy Creek’s nine holes would differ from the typical “pitch-

and-put” nine-hole facilities, like SLO’s Laguna Lake Golf Course, since it would include holes that are par 3, 4 and 5.

“There’s a lot of stigma around ninehole golf courses, that it’s not real golf,” he said. “If you go to Europe, like Scotland or Ireland, there are 13-hole golf courses.

There are 11-hole courses. Golf doesn’t have to be an 18-hole course.”

While nine-hole courses generally don’t perform as well financially as 18-hole courses, the county plans to beef up the other offerings at El Chorro Regional Park.

Several new facilities are on the docket, like more campgrounds (including cabin camping), multi-use trails, an event and concert center, a Go-Cart racing track, batting cages, a mountain biking course, disc golf, and a zip line. The overall vision is to boost park attendance and profits by making it inclusive to the entire community.

There isn’t a timeframe for the transition, according to Heptig, though he said Dairy Creek will remain at 18 holes at least through the winter.

For many golfers, acceptance has replaced resistance. When the county surveyed Dairy Creek players last year, less than 25 percent indicated they would be willing to play a future nine-hole course. But in a more recent survey, 60 percent admitted they would.

“There’s a little bit of reality that’s setting in,” Heptig said. “We’re hearing, ‘We really love Dairy Creek, and if this is the way it’s going to have to be, we still want to play it.’” ∆ Contact Staff Writer Peter Johnson at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

TOT tag-team SLO County works with Airbnb to ensure local vacation rental hosts are paying their fair share

I

n order to collect unpaid taxes from vacation rental scofflaws, SLO County is turning to one of the biggest online rental services in the country for help.

After a year of negotiations, the county entered into an agreement with the San Francisco-based Airbnb to allow the online rental company to collect transient occupancy taxes and related assessment from locals using the service in unincorporated areas of SLO County.

County officials say the agreement, approved by the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 15, will help level the playing field between short-term vacation rental landlords who are already paying taxes to operate and those who do not.

“We want to make it fair for the people who are playing by the rules,” said Justin Cooley, principal financial analyst for the county auditor and tax collector.

Under the county’s current regulations, individuals who host or rent out shortterm vacation rentals in unincorporated areas are required to file for a business license and collect a transient occupancy tax (TOT), also known as a bed tax, from guests. That tax, and other short-term rental-related assessment fees, apply to hotels, home rentals, and those who rent out rooms or homes online through

services like Airbnb. There are currently 1,323 licensed lodging business operating in the unincorporated areas of the county, of which more than 86 percent are vacation rentals. In total, those business contributed more than $9.4 million in TOT taxes to the county’s general fund last fiscal year.

But the county has struggled with how to identify residents who are hosting guests through services like Airbnb but aren’t registered or paying the tax.

When it comes to online rentals, Cooley indicated that many fail to pay the tax because they simply aren’t aware of the regulations.

“A lot of people who do this don’t even know they are supposed to collect taxes,” he said. “They genuinely didn’t know that they were required to.”

Whether they do it knowingly or unknowingly, failing to pay the tax can skew rental prices against those complying with the county’s regulations.

Because hosts usually pass the cost of the tax onto the people using the rentals by increasing the per-night price, Cooley said hosts shirking the occupancy tax could charge rates as much as 12 percent less than those following the rules.

“We view it as unfair, and we want to

THE TAX MAN COMETH SLO County is turning to Airbnb to help it collect occupancy taxes from locals who use the popular app to rent out their rooms and homes.

remedy that,” he said.

But trying to track down and collect was challenging and demanded a large amount of county staff’s time and resources. It doesn’t help that companies like Airbnb try to protect hosts’ information, making finding out who is using apps to rent out rooms or homes time consuming. The county even hired an outside company, Host Compliance, in September to help them identify and track down unregistered online vacation rentals at a cost of nearly $72,000.

The agreement with Airbnb will allow the company to collect the occupancy tax and other assessment fees directly from hosts who use the service. According to Airbnb’s website, the TOT will appear as a line item on the rental listing.

“Airbnb calculates applicable local taxes and collects those taxes from guests at the time of booking,” the company’s website states. “Airbnb then takes care of remitting collected taxes to the applicable

tax authority on the host’s behalf.”

SLO County isn’t the first government to hammer out such an agreement with Airbnb. The company is collecting occupancy taxes for several California counties, including Calaveras, Humbolt, and Marin counties, as well as cities in Nevada, Colorado, and others.

According to a county staff report, the online rental giant won’t charge the county anything for the service and the agreement will be a win-win situation for both it and the county residents acting as hosts.

“The agreement not only ensures a level playing field, but also greatly eases the administrative burden for the county and individual hosts who choose to operate through Airbnb,” the report stated.

Airbnb will assume its responsibilities under the agreement beginning Oct. 1. ∆ Reach Staff Writer Chris McGuinness at cmcguinness@newtimesslo.com.

Rehabilitation and reentry programs help offenders leave prison and stay out

BY KAREN GARCIA

C

hristopher Sheehan walked into a head shop in Huntington Beach with his partner in crime, armed, and ready to rob the joint.

While the two were instructing employees to hand over money, one employee activated a silent alarm. That prompted a nearby police officer patrolling the area to respond to the call.

The officer ordered both men to kneel in front of a wall, but Sheehan argued, distracting the officer. It bought his partner time to shoot at the officer.

Wearing a bulletproof vest at the time, the officer took the shot without injury and fired back, killing Sheehan’s partner.

“I grabbed the gun that the officer missed behind my back and fired,” Sheehan said.

His bullet missed the officer and Sheehan fled the scene. With a warrant attached to his name, he was eventually arrested in Kern County, Utah, and returned to Orange County.

All of that happened in 1985, when he was only in his early 20s. In July 1986, Sheehan was convicted on felony counts that included attempted murder, robbery, and discharging a firearm. He was also convicted of first-degree murder since his partner died as a result of the crime they were attempting to commit together.

He was sentenced to 37 years to life in prison with the possibility of parole. He’s served 31 years at the California Men’s Colony (CMC) in San Luis Obispo. With the help of rehabilitation and reentry programs focused on long-term offenders— introduced to CMC in 2014—he walked out of prison a free man on Aug. 11.

He entered a life of barbed wire with the thought that he may not get a chance at parole. At the time, even though he was upset with his situation, Sheehan said he just went with it.

“When I came here in ’86, I had no real desire to do anything. I just wanted to have fun, take some classes,” he said.

That thought process would change when the prison’s approach to its prisoners changed and CMC started focusing on reducing the inmate population and the number of returning offenders. Aside from the academic and vocational programs the prison already offered, in March 2014, CMC began emphasizing structured rehabilitation and community reentry programs.

This move was the eventual result of a 2011 U.S. Supreme Court order for California to drastically shrink the size of its inmate population due to prison over-crowding. With the goal of reducing the number of prisoners in the state’s

OUT After serving 31 years of a 37-years-tolife sentence Christopher Sheehan earned a chance at parole with the help of rehabilitation programs at the California Men’s Colony.

33 prisons, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill (AB) 109, or public safety realignment. AB 109 allowed non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex offenders to serve their sentence in county jails instead of state prisons.

Kristina Khokhobashvili, public information officer for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said that once the law was set into place, it allowed for prisons to prepare inmates (with short sentences) for their release.

“Once we didn’t have inmates [sleeping] triple-bunked in gyms by the hundreds, we were definitely able to offer more programs, and we were able to fund different types of programs,” she said.

At the state level, taking the time to work individually with offenders reduced the return to prison rate to 44.6 percent, Khokhobashvili said. According to a 2015 evaluation report by the REFOCUSING In 2014, the California Men’s Colony focused on providing long-term offenders with rehabilitation programs, an area that was lacking before.

10 • New Times • August 17 - August 24, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, that’s a 9.7 percent decrease from the fiscal year 2009-10 return rate of 54.3 percent. CMC has cut its recidivism rate in half.

“The stereotype used to be—and it wasn’t altogether untrue—was that we just gave you $200 and said goodbye.

But that isn’t the case anymore,” Khokhobashvili said.

One-way ticket

With a gray head of hair and a silver moustache to match, Sheehan is now 55 years old and has a different outlook than he used to.

In the first half of his time at CMC, Sheehan said he earned his GED, graduated from the machine shop program after 4,119 hours with a B-plus average, and earned certifications within the trade.

But even with those accomplishments, when he went to hearings before the parole board, he was still found to be unfit for parole. He still didn’t demonstrate an understanding about the impacts of his crime. Sheehan said he tried to find peace within himself, but there wasn’t a group or program in the prison that could aid

him in that process.

Things changed in 2014, when CMC brought in the Reentry Hub programs. It focuses on assisting inmates in the lead up to their release. Offenders are required to get their high school diploma or GED, take career and technical programs, cognitive behavioral therapy programs, transitional programs, and are issued a California identification card.

Because Sheehan was serving a life sentence, he didn’t believe this new program plan would help him.

“I’m thinking the whole time, ‘That’s BS.’ Another bullet for the Department of Corrections, another bullet for them to have to deny us at the [parole] board,” he said.

The Hub program is mandatory for west side inmates, who are serving less than five-year sentences and getting ready to leave CMC, according to Steve Smith, the rehabilitation program manager at CMC. For those on the east side, who are serving life sentences, there is a different plan in place. It’s called L-TOP (Long-Term Offender Program), and it’s voluntary for east-side inmates.

Similar to the west side curriculum, L-TOP offers substance abuse disorder treatment, criminal thinking, anger management, family relationships, denial management, and victim impact programs.

Sheehan opted in, but was reluctant.

“I had asked the counselors: ‘Are you here for the money? Are you here to blow smoke up my ass? What’s the deal because I’m done with it,’” he said.

However, it was in the sessions on victim impact and family relationships where Sheehan finally had the chance to dial in on the actual impacts of his crime, the people he’s hurt, and find peace for himself.

He said when he realized the counselors were really there to listen to him and to help him, he figured himself out.

“You just have to be willing to be an onion and start peeling back those layers,” Sheehan said.

Once the reality of what he had done finally sank in, Sheehan sincerely apologized to the family of his crime partner, who he said has forgiven him.

He’s also been able to steadily mend his relationship with his parents. Sheehan said the programs helped him realize why he acted the way he did.

“These are things I never thought of.

There was no conscience thinking of what I was doing. It was what I wanted to do period,” Sheehan said.

Although the L-TOP program does not guarantee that inmates with life sentences will be given a chance at parole, it helped Sheehan realize his faults and figure out where he stood in society. The board found Sheehan suitable for parole earlier this month. He sat down with New Times for an interview on Aug. 10, the day before he was released.

His next steps, he said, are to take it slow and to take others into consideration with his actions.

CMC rehab program manager Smith said that preparing inmates for release and giving them a chance to get back on their feet while having a structure in place has been beneficial to the SLO County-based prison.

“Before, the recidivism rate was 67 percent and two out of every three offenders were coming back. Since then, those numbers have been cut in half,” Smith said.

In the last three years, Smith said, Sheehan is the 90th inmate who’s been found suitable for parole and has been released.

“We are giving them all the tools because we want our prisons to be calmer, we want our society to be safer, and we want these guys to be successful,” he said.

The key

Programs and services that help offenders gain a renewed footing in the community start behind bars and continue after release. For offenders with a diagnosed mental illness, for example, the Department of Rehabilitation is there to guide them through the process of stepping back into society and finding employment.

That aid starts with a letter from the Department of Rehabilitation notifying a prison or jailed offender that they have been identified as a potential client for the department. A return envelope and a business card that sometimes has Linda Benchman’s name on it are attached to that letter.

“I’ve personally counted 166 [clients] and that’s just me reaching out with letters. That’s not reaching out by telephone and that’s not counting the other counselors in this office,” she said.

1-minute ex-convicts have to convince an employer to hire them. Benchman said each client has three 15-second categories to hit within that 60-second speech: Talk about what happened, what your punishment was, and everything positive you’ve done since then.

“That’s your story to tell. You need to be careful with it, and you need to take control of it, end of story. Move on,” she said. “I don’t think there’s one person that doesn’t know somebody that’s been incarcerated. … They are going to return to the community and sometimes the community feels weird about it, but they’re here.”

Using the key

Within a packet of informational pamphlets and documents, Benchman pulled out a list of agencies that the

time. She was given a dual diagnosis of being bipolar and a drug addict.

After her diagnosis, Alexander completed an 18-month program through the Gryphon Society. At Gryphon she was referred to Benchman and the services that the Department of Rehabilitation could provide.

With Benchman and the department’s help, Alexander graduated from Cuesta College with an associate’s degree in Sociology.

“When you sit down with [Benchman], it’s your story, it’s your goals, and it’s what you want to do,” Alexander said, “She says ‘What do you need to do to get there and how can we help you?’”

When Alexander had trouble getting a computer for school, Benchman was able to supply her with a computer and printer when she graduated from Cuesta.

JOURNEY With the help of the California Department of Corrections, Alexander has been able to graduate from Cuesta College and will transfer to Cal Poly in the fall of 2017-18.

Benchman is a senior rehabilitation counselor with the department who works in SLO County helping offenders with mental illness find employment after being released from jail or prison.

All she needs is medical documentation to determine eligibility, so she can work with her client to start writing up a rehabilitation plan and get the offender back to work and into community.

The rest of the groundwork is up to clients.

“My job is basically being a cheerleader.

A lot of these people have come in and no one has ever said, ‘You can do that,’” Benchman said.

She’s a fast talker, putting out as much information as she possibly can about the services that her department can offer with each breath. She said time is of the essence when dealing with her clients; spending too much time on one step of the process means she could lose someone.

“You might find Joe Cocaine, Meth, and Pot. I’m going to lose them, so I try and get their medical record as soon as I can and get them a bus pass right away or clothing right away so they can see that I’m on their side—‘Let’s help you,’” she said.

When a client begins looking for a job, Benchman can help that person find a business owner or company that is willing to employ the offender and work with the department.

“Our guys can work; they have skills.

It’s just a process of matching them up to the right job,” she said.

Benchman can offer a tax credit to employers, which means an employer can get about $2,400 credit the first year if they hire a client from the department.

Her department also pays for an individual’s rap sheet, a record of an individual’s criminal history (arrests and prosecutions). And she works with people to figure out how to reduce what’s on the sheet or figure out how to own it.

Ownership over those past deeds goes into her client’s turn-around speech: the

AWAKENING Mia Alexander realized that she couldn’t continue with the life she was leading, constantly in and out of jail, and utilized reentry services to better her life.

department works with to help its clients.

She’s just one piece of the pie and can refer clients to agencies that include the Department of Social Services, Community Health Center, America’s Job Center, Restorative Justice, Sunny Acres, Gryphon Society, and Jail to Community.

With the help of the whole pie and Benchman’s mentorship, Mia Alexander was able to take control of her life after spending most of her young adulthood in and out of the SLO County Jail.

When Alexander was a teenager, she started hanging out with a questionable group of kids.

“I just got in with the wrong crowd of people and started dating someone that I shouldn’t have been dating,” Alexander said.

It was a mix of bad seeds and drugs that got her into trouble early in her young adult life: “18 years with going in and out of jail and so it progressed to in and out of prison,” she said.

But it wasn’t until the last time she was put in jail that Alexander got the appropriate help and support system to get her life in order. That was five years ago.

“I just knew that if I continued doing what I was doing, I was just going to go in there and never come out. I have a daughter now, and I was just ready to not repeat history,” she said.

Her attorney referred Alexander to the behavioral health court department at the

Alexander said it was Benchman cheering her on that helped her make the journey.

“Linda is awesome. She’s like a mom that goes above and beyond to help you while standing behind you saying, ‘You can do this,’” she said.

Alexander also attributes her success to her probation officer, the directors at Gryphon, and the judge who presided over her case.

“A lot of people saw something in me that I never saw in myself. And my little support system never failed at telling me that,” she said.

Alexander is transferring to Cal Poly for the 2017-18 school year to pursue sociology and become a certified drug and alcohol counselor. Her long term goal is to help others who have traveled the path of addiction and want to recover just as she has.

Similar to the recently released Sheehan, Alexander had another chance at becoming a part of the community with the help of services and people working together.

Sheehan gave New Times a call on Aug. 14, just four days after stepping out of CMC. “When I walk out of here, my support system isn’t big but it’s 32 years worth of investment in me and me in them,” Sheehan said. “I’m free, and it’s wonderful to be free, thank you.”

Garay believes that more often than not, problems from a weakened pelvic floor are issues that women aren’t talking about

but many are suffering from in their daily lives. Pregnancy, childbirth, and aging can weaken the pelvic floor, which can result in urinary incontinence (causing women to leak urine when they sneeze, cough, or laugh) or in rarer cases, organ prolapse.

It is possible to strengthen your body, and Garay is passionate about educating mothers on proper postpartum recovery. She said Pilates can take care of peace of mind while re-strengthening a mother’s spine, abdominals, and pelvic floor.

“One of the things I come across is women not knowing there’s a way to strengthen their body and regain their joy.

I hear things like, ‘I don’t feel connected to myself or my body anymore,’ ‘I don’t know who I am anymore.’ It happens to so many women, but there’s something we can do about it. It doesn’t matter how old a woman is, there’s always hope to re-strengthen the pelvic floor,” said Garay.

In the tradition of Pilates history, Garay keeps her practice focused on reaping the benefits of nature to tune into one’s body and emotions. Joseph Pilates, the German behind the practice, firmly believed in natural physical healing to overcome his own ailments. As a child, Pilates suffered from asthma, rickets, and rheumatic fever, all of which he sought homeopathic remedies for. His Greek father was an award-winning gymnast and his German

mother was a naturopath who believed in alternative medicine. With their influence, he studied the arts of gymnastics, bodybuilding, yoga, and martial arts to help develop his own exercises.

During World War I, Pilates was placed under forced internment, where he trained inmates in PILATES MAMA Garay is a master-certified Pilates core-stabilizing workouts instructor and flower essence therapist.

Mathematical conundrum Dropping nuclear power for solar isn’t going to be cheap

F

or some time now I have been standing up for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, despite the fact that the environmental community (and apparently most of our community) is against it. Therefore, severely outnumbered, I have to face the fact that I must be wrong and I apologize for the error of my ways. From here on out I am getting right with solar.

But words are not enough and some form of action is needed.

Right now, the Powerball is approaching $ 500 million. I plan to win it, and after keeping a few million dollars in spending money, I am going to dedicate the rest to building a photovoltaic solar array that will put the dreaded Diablo Canyon menace out of business once and for all.

Go solar! You guys can chip in if you want.

The first thing we have to do is determine the load we have to replace.

In this case, the load would be the capacity of Diablo Canyon times 24 hours, since it operates around the clock. The capacity of Diablo Canyon is 2,240 megawatts or 2,240,000 kilowatts (kW). So the load that we have to replace is 2,240,000 kW multiplied by 24 hours or 53,760,000 kW hours (kWh)

HODIN

per day. Easy enough.

The next thing we have to do is determine the system size, which means dividing the load by the local insolation rate—the amount of solar irradiation per square meter per day. Naturally, this depends on the time of year. Since Diablo Canyon operates year-round and, since we want to completely replace it with solar, we have to use the lowest annual insolation rate for this area, which occurs in December. According to

for a serious quantity discount. A 2012 article from the Berkeley Lawrence Lab regarding the cost of solar arrays stated: “Utility-scale systems installed in 2012 registered even lower prices, with prices for systems larger than 10,000 kW generally ranging from $2.50/W to $4.00/W.” Since the article is dated and indicated that prices were dropping like a rock we will use the lowest $2.50 per watt figure: 21,677,419 kilowatts equals

The fantasy that intermittent sources of power can completely replace base sources of power is a good example of the eco group-think, shoot-yourself-inthe-foot logic that the fossil-fuel guys love, and they are laughing all the way to the bank.

NASA, the insolation rate for our area in December is 2.48.

So, our system size would be: 53,760,000 kWh divided by 2.48, which equals 21,677,419 kW. Wow! Now we have to figure out how many solar panels we need. A decent solar panel these days has a capacity of about 250 watts or 0.250 kW. So the number of 250-watt solar panels we would need would be: 21,677,419 kW divided by 0.250 kW, which equals 86,709,677 solar panels. Holy Moley!

Now, we need to figure out how much this is going to cost and pray like hell

Russell Hodin

14 • New Times • August 17 - August 24, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

21,677,419,000 watts. Multiply that by $2.50, and we get a grand total of $55 billion dollars!!!

Say what? OMFG!!! That’s enough to build half a dozen nuclear plants, easy.

We would need more than a hundred $500-million Powerballs to do that.

Even if we used the average insolation rate for the year, we would still have a cost of more than $25 billion.

Who the hell said solar power is cheap? Solar capacity is cheap, but solar production is extremely expensive. Ask the Germans.

Worse yet, the $55 billion is only part

of the cost. Because the sun only shines for part of the day, we would have to have storage for most of the production to make it through the rest of the day, and God knows how much that will cost because they have yet to come up with a practical design. It could easily be two or three times the cost of the panels. Then, we would need even more solar panels and storage to save up for days when the sun doesn’t shine. No effing way we can afford all that.

The moral of story is: The fantasy that intermittent sources of power can completely replace base sources of power is a good example of the eco group-think, shoot-yourself-in-thefoot logic that the fossil-fuel guys love, and they are laughing all the way to the bank. Go for it and toss Diablo Canyon into the briar patch: Nuclear bad. Solar good. Go ahead and do it.

Dump nuclear and go solar. Germany fell for it, so why shouldn’t we. We are easily as stupid as they are—just look at who we elected as president. Get real people. ∆ Mark Henry spends his free time doing math in San Luis Obispo.

The recent lifting of our â&#x20AC;&#x153;drought emergencyâ&#x20AC;? designation by the California state government was alarmingly pre-mature and reckless.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had one sort of decent rainy season after many years of almost nothing and all of a sudden weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the clear?! Seriously?

Big Agriculture and powerful developers must have really put the screws to California politicians and regulators to get this bogus decision.

What will happen now when we have dry conditions for the next several years? Many meteorologists have warned against jumping to conclusions about this issue and have stated clearly that forecasts show that we are not out of the woods yet. It would take seven to 10 years of good rains to even get back to normal statewide for water reserves.

But here we are, making a bad bet and hoping against hope that it will pay off.

Will big money and career politicos own up to it and take the blame if the bet goes bad? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold your breath.

While I share Shredderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outrage over prison abuses, his/her minimizing of hospital deaths is sorely disappointing.

The fact is, according to the British Medical Journal, medical error is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. The very thing that is supposed to heal us and keep us healthy is actually killing us, in great numbers. Our medical system is seriously broken, from insurance regulations determining treatment, to sky-rocketing costs of vital medication, to over-prescription of opioids and antibiotics, to mandatory over-vaccination of our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and our medical treatment is making us sick, sick, sick.

SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow is right to be outraged, and I urge him to go after pharmaceutical CEOs and other medical industry bigwigs and hold them accountable for the harm they have caused. But only after he makes right the problems right here at the SLO County Jail.

Every day there are discussions/ disputes in the news about what powers the president of the United States has or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have, and should or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have, to issue orders, make pardons (even possibly of himself!), hire or fire cabinet secretaries and heads of bureaus, agenciesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and even declare war or take military action.

The U.S. Constitution is somewhat clear about the powers of the branches of government, but a lot is left unsaid and unclear about these matters when the realities of actually governing have come up through the decades and centuries. In my opinion, the executive branchâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the presidencyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has always had too much power, especially when

you consider the extra powers that have been subtly (and not so subtly) given (surrendered) to it by Congress over time, most glaringly concerning warmaking powers.

The president should never be able to fire or hire anyone in any office who could conceivably investigate or accuse/ charge (or fail to do so) him or her, or anyone working for him or her, with misconduct. The director of the FBI and other federal law enforcement and security officials should be chosen and monitored through means other than presidential nomination and later approval or disapprovalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or firing.

Likewise for the attorney general, an office that I think should be popularly elected or what have you, a person who should remain totally independent of presidential power. The president should clearly have no right to pardon himself, ever, and the president should be subject to criminal charges, trial, conviction, and punishment even while in office. There should be no immunity just because one holds the highest office. Otherwise, we creep dangerously toward possible dictatorship.

I think we need a radically new and more humane, civil-democratic rights oriented and fully detailed Constitutional overall, one that spells out rights and protections for people and puts way more direct power in the hands of the people. Thomas Jefferson once said that we should have either a new Constitution or a revolution every 20 years. That may be pushing it, but we are way overdue for a progressive re-write. We can start by limiting the powers of what has become our â&#x20AC;&#x153;elected kingâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the U.S. president.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

Divided in the face of the enemy

T

here are many issues that evoke concern among Americans and this past week turned up the thermometer on several. There are pressing issues to worry about, like impending war in Asia and a nation becoming increasingly divided by political extremists.

Let me address the issue of impending war in Korea: I don’t believe we will be undertaking any military operations against North Korea in the near future unless they actually fire upon U.S. territory, our allies, or attack elements of our armed forces. In the latter case, the most at-risk units are the unarmed strategic reconnaissance aircraft that routinely keep tabs on the North from international airspace.

In 1969, North Korea shot down an unarmed U.S. Naval intelligence aircraft from VQ-1 over international airspace, killing all 31 crewmembers.

VQ-1 is the same squadron that the Chinese forced down over Hainan Island in 2000.

In the 1970s, the North Koreans attacked a tree-trimming detail on Freedom Bridge at the Peace Village, using axes to hack several American officers and soldiers to death. We responded by flying multiple low-level bombers over the demilitarized zone and sent a full infantry battalion onto the bridge—not to trim the tree, but to cut it down entirely. Message received. The North Koreans have a long history of violent provocations

against South Korea, its allies, and neighboring states. The regime has so starved its population (as the ruling clique prospers from foreign assistance) that the North Korean populace has actually suffered a decline in physical stature due to government-induced malnutrition. It’s literally the most brutal totalitarian dictatorship on the planet ruled by a xenophobic, possibly psychotic, mass-murderer with the most evil intent imaginable, determined to hold onto power regardless of cost.

This is what makes Kim Jung-Un dangerous as acquisition of nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them will give him the ace he needs to initiate a war of conquest against South Korea. The latter provides substantial components to our tech industry and its economy substantially contributes to global prosperity.

The loss of its 50 million productive citizens to be absorbed into the North Korean “gulag” would likely result in a global recession, not to mention the moral implications of selling them out to an evil regime. Kim is not likely to directly attack the United States.

He’s more likely to use his “nuclear arsenal” to neutralize our will to uphold our commitment to preserve South Korean independence against North Korean aggression. Kim’s nuclear arsenal would likely be used first against the South to break their resistance or against the U.S. in a

America deserves the same, and it’s long overdue.

A majority of all House Democrats and 26 from California have cosponsored this essential legislation that is the solution that has proved workable and sustainable throughout the rest of the civilized nations for decades.

One who has not, so far, is our representative, Salud Carbajal. Call his local office: (888) 202-8934, write a letter to him, send an email. Explain why he should join his colleagues in co-sponsoring and supporting this integral legislation as his constituents declare.

Be polite, but firm.

revenge strike if he was facing defeat, which is likely in a conventional war.

Long-term, his nuclear weapons will pose an existential threat against the American homeland: This situation doesn’t get better over time.

Kim’s military is comprised of outdated and poorly maintained armaments. His artillery is not as formidable as TV talking-heads proclaim and only a small number can be brought to bear upon Seoul, South Korea’s capital of 25 million. We would quickly take out much of his artillery with counterbattery fire, airstrikes, and “smart munitions.” When North Korea attacked the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong in 2010 with artillery fire, only 47 percent of the 170 rounds fired actually hit the island and about 20 percent were duds. The North Koreans aren’t “10-feet-tall” and we’re better than the prognostications of armchair strategists. Most importantly, there is no sign of American noncombatant evacuation operations commencing, (to protect American forces, dependents, diplomats) or signs of naval forces being surged or troop movements by Army or Marine forces in the Pacific. The Marines are standing down their aviation assets for a safety assessment for two weeks due to a plethora of recent aviation accidents and half of our Air Force fighter squadrons are still nondeployable. That’s not a prescription for an impending war in the Pacific, but I

could be wrong.

And Saturday’s riot in Charlottesville, Virginia, doesn’t represent America any more than the 500 racist losers and Klansmen represent even a fraction of a fraction of a percent of Americans. Lift up enough rocks and you will find something slimy, unpleasant, and occasionally lethal. Charlottesville is a liberal community that gave 80 percent of its vote to Clinton; the violent groups that rioted were mostly from out of state.

Sadly, the community response was a prescription for disaster and represents a dereliction of duty by local police and city leaders.

Two violent extremist groups were allowed on the same ground at the same time; the police failed to interject themselves between the groups, both of whom came armed and looking for a fight. The police withdrew, making no effort to intervene and allowed a full-scale riot to ensue, which cost a young woman her life at the hands of a domestic terrorist. This has been a pattern for the last several years as the police stand down at the behest of civilian leadership. This time innocent people were killed and injured. This is a path to national destruction: no nation can face external threats that pose an existential threat over time and survive if we remain so divided. ∆ 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.

Opinion

The Shredder

Don’t fight fascism with fascism

I

saw a really great meme on Facebook this morning. It had a banner headline that read, “Trump supporters be like:” Under that were three images—ex49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the National Anthem, a gathering of pink-cat-hatted Women’s March protestors, and a trio of Starbucks’ so-called “war on Christmas” red holiday cups—with the words “That’s offensive!” under each.

Across the bottom was a final image of the tiki-torch-carrying, Nazi-saluting White Nationalists gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia, under which it read, “Oh this? Freedom of speech, man!”

That’s the problem with free speech: We’re all for it until someone says something we don’t like.

Last week New Times included an insert paid for by the Missionaries Fellowship of Los Angeles, with a headline that read, “The Christian View of Law and Order.” The double-sided advertisement began by claiming there is an “escalation of attacks and killings of American police officers,” which turns out to be historically wrong. While this past year saw a 20 percent increase in criminal police deaths over the previous year, such deaths have dropped precipitously from their peak of more than 100 per year in the early ’80s to our current average of around 50 annually.

Obviously zero would be best; also, zero deaths of unarmed civilians at the hands

of police, amirite?

Setting aside the insert’s initial histrionics, it goes on to argue that it’s un-Christian to “rant” about police brutality, that police are ordained by God to use force against “criminals,” and that “Black folk need to realize they are being used as pawns by a highly educated but sinister and demonic group of people, mainly within the Democratic Party.”

Some readers didn’t like this. We didn’t like it, either. They were offended by its content. It’s definitely offensive. They thought we were wrong to include it.

We’ve been having an intense discussion about that in the newsroom. Meanwhile, in the wake of the Charlottesville domestic terrorist attack, people are arguing over the limits of free speech.

Turns out: Child pornography is not protected. Words meant to incite violence are not protected. Words that would reasonably lead to injury— “Fire!” in a crowded theater—are not protected. That’s pretty much it.

Otherwise, anything goes.

You might not like it that the Missionaries Fellowship of Los Angeles wrote that the Democratic Party is “antiChrist, anti-American, and anti-life,” but that’s, like, their opinion, man. They have the right to espouse it just as American Nazis have the right to tell people that they demand “an America in which white people are the sole masters of our own destiny.”

And I’m allowed to say: I think that

thought is a pile of garbage just like they are.

Without free speech, women wouldn’t have the right to vote, minorities wouldn’t have civil rights, the LGBTQ community would still be closeted. If you support the free speech that led these groups to speak up for and acquire their rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, you must also support the rights of people with whom you disagree to express their hateful, racist, ignorant messages.

Squelching one group’s free speech is a slippery slope to squelching yours.

“Protecting” people from hateful messages by squelching free speech does nothing to change the fact that bigoted scumbags hold such beliefs. When we allow these hateful messages to be exposed, we also allow the sunshine of truth and power of tolerance to shine upon them.

When counter-protestors gathered in Charlottesville to demonstrate their resistance to a white power message, they were showing fellow Americans and the world that this small percentage of racists does not represent the United States of America. We’re not going to change racist thinking by letting it fester in the shadows; let the haters speak. Then, let them hear our response. If you don’t like the Missionaries Fellowship of Los Angeles’ message, write a letter to the editor or stand on a street corner and say

it. Organize a movement. Don’t demand silence.

Charlottesville proves the haters are emboldened. Instead of wearing white hoods, they wore white polo shirts and carried tiki torches like they were a fraternity heading to a luau, except they were chanting racist slogans and Sieg Heiling (Hail Victory!) down the street. Now, they’re getting doxxed online—having their identities revealed and being publically shamed. They’re learning the ramifications of free speech. Go America!

Meanwhile, President Trump was dishing out blame for the violence to “many sides.” It’s also free speech to argue that the president’s suggestion that racist and antifa (anti-fascist) messages are somehow equal is false. Trump’s rhetoric shows that he sympathizes with racists or, at the very least, understands that they’re one part of his base that he doesn’t want to alienate.

Everyone else, apparently, doesn’t matter.

Look, America is at a crossroads.

Fascism is a very real threat. One of the first things fascists do when they take power is squelch free speech and free press.

If liberals try to fight fascism with fascist techniques like curtailing their opponents’ free speech, America has already lost.

Trump can take his “Fake news!” and shove it! ∆ The Shredder thinks racists are losers.

Arts Artifacts Just dance

Tighten up those toe shoes; it’s audition time. The SLO Movement Arts Center recently launched a nonprofit group, the Movement Arts Collective, which is forming a youth ballet company for dancers ages 12 and up.

Auditions will be held Aug. 19 at noon at the SLO Movement Arts Center.

Dancers should have at least two years of ballet training at an intermediate to advanced level. Members of the company will train 10 months out of the year and participate in multiple performances.

As part of its educational programming, the studio will also host choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa the weekend of Sept. 2 and 3 to work on a new piece for the collective. Ochoa recently choreographed pieces for the New York City and San Francisco ballets.

For more information, visit movementartscollective.org.

Calling all actors

Step into the spotlight of SLO County’s community theater scene by auditioning for By The Sea Productions’ upcoming play, The Member of the Wedding, on Aug. 21.

Auditions will be by appointment beginning at 6 p.m. at St. Peter’s By the Sea Episcopal Church in Morro Bay. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. The show runs three weekends from Oct. 20 to Nov. 5 and rehearsals begin in early September. The play tells the story of Frankie, a lonely 12-year-old girl who longs to be included in her brother’s wedding.

DIY, made kid friendly TubbyWubby sewing kits take off in SLO and beyond

PHOTO COURTESY OF REBECCA RUGGLES

GOTTA STITCH ’EM ALL With two new critters released every month, the number of TubbyWubby kits to sew is limitless.

I

t started out as a simple gift cut and stitched with love, a handwritten wish tucked inside its soft, cotton heart.

When Paso Robles native Rebecca Ruggles wanted to give a gift to her friend’s daughters three years ago, she didn’t want to grab something from the toy store. Ruggles, who had long been into crafts like embroidery and needle point, decided to take some felt and cotton and make the girls two small critters to call their own.

“They loved them and drug them through the mud everywhere they went,” Ruggles said.

There was even a hunt for one thought-tobe-lost critter that lasted until 2 a.m. “It was special. It wasn’t like their other presents.”

At that time, Ruggles was coming off a 10year career as a tech entrepreneur in Dallas and had recently moved back to the Central Coast. Crafting had always been her way to recharge, but could it be her job?

“I was looking for what that next thing would be,” Ruggles said. “I think as humans, we’re makers.”

Ruggles wanted others to experience the joy and pride that comes from making something by hand, so last summer she started putting together prototype kits that she dubbed “TubbyWubby.” Those included pre-cut pieces of felt, a threaded needle, cotton, a paper clover heart for writing wishes, and step-by-step instructions. She let focus groups of local kids have at ’em, and as a result of their feedback, the critters that ranged from otters to unicorns got small enough to fit in a hand, whittling the crafting time from three hours to just one.

“I wanted people to look at it and say, ‘Hey, that’s something I can do,’” Ruggles said.

About a year later the TubbyWubby kits that are handmade by Ruggles and a few local helpers are now sold at 16 locations across the Central Coast. Starting this month, they’ll also be at retail spots in places like Virginia, Indianapolis, and New York. Crafters who can’t get enough can sign up for a TubbyWubby $25-a-month subscription service that sends members the two newest critters plus one mystery kit monthly.

Each TubbyWubby, whether it’s Scratch the cat or Moxie the fox, comes with a birth

Get crafty certificate so crafters can write where and when the critter was created. Ruggles enjoys seeing the answers posted on Instagram, with one kid who aptly listed “the kitchen table,” as the place of birth. The kits also come wrapped in an illustrated package that is ready to mail once a shipping label is slapped on. She said the kits are made for first time stitchers and can be done by kids as young as 7 with grownup supervision, but kids who are about 12 can usually handle the craft solo.

Surprisingly though, kids aren’t the ones snatching up TubbyWubby kits in droves.

Ruggles said about 60 percent of TubbyWubby critter crafters are card-carrying adults.

“It’s for kids at heart of all ages,” Ruggles said.

She said her favorite part is seeing what people take away from the project. One girl she met had cut out the patterns that come

with the kits and used them to make her own unique critters, taking the unicorn pattern to make a zebra and so on. One woman wrote to tell Ruggles that she and her dying mother had a nice moment putting a TubbyWubby together after talking about what was going on got too hard.

“That experience of making something with your hands is unique and real,” Ruggles said.

“The cute little animal is just the bait to have a moment with yourself or someone else.” ∆ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley has too many crafting pins on Pinterest at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Stitchers of all ages can also join TubbyWubby’s monthly subscription club, where a kit with the two newest critters will be snail mailed to you. Visit tubbywubby.com for more information. Crafters wanting a challenge can look forward to medium and large TubbyWubby kits hitting the market in January 2018.

SEW SIMPLE All the pieces in each TubbyWubby kit come pre-cut and the needle has even been threaded and knotted to lessen the chance of injury for young stitchers.

fter 16 years and two children, she finally scrounged up the courage to come out to her husband as a lesbian.

Later in life, that same woman, Ivy Bottini, would co-found the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women and champion LGBTQ rights.

Her story is one that Cal Poly theater professor Alvin Schnupp stumbled onto when his friend and arts manager for the city of West Hollywood, Andrew Campbell, clued him in to Bottini’s legacy that still continues today through her efforts in Hollywood, where she now lives. Her story highlighted a spark of creativity in Schnupp, who first wrote co-wrote a play called Ivy with fellow playwright, Ellyn Gersh-Lerner. In a solo effort, Schnupp then created a musical, inclusIVitY – The Ivy Bottini Story, that will debut at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles on Aug. 20.

“I tend to gravitate toward female protagonists,” Schnupp said. “My interest was peaked right away. The breadth of her experience fighting for justice and inclusivity, … I was hooked.”

The play features a handful of exclusively female actors, including Lisa Keating as Bottini. The story is told through 17 songs and poems with nearly all of the lyrics and lines rhyming in some fashion. All told, Scnupp spent nearly 20 hours interviewing Bottini, who is now in her early 90s.

“I tried to find the highlights of her life, the key moments, the turning points,” Schnupp said. “I tried to find the people, stories, and the events that changed her.”

Stand out moments, of course, include Bottini’s seperation from her husband in the number “Eddie—Goodbye,” where Keating sings: “You’ve been nothing but kind, showing respect, bearing in mind, not one to neglect, my odd little needs. Not one to correct my misguided deeds.”

Inspirational

inclusIVitY – The Ivy Bottini Story will show at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles from Aug. 20 to 24 and again from Aug. 27 to 29. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. and the opening night show on Aug. 20 will include a postperformance reception with Bottini and hors d’oeuvres for $45 per person. Tickets for all other showings will be $15 per person. Visit studiosonthepark.org for tickets and more information.

In spite of describing herself as someone who is always falling in love with different women and someone who once said she wished there was a world just for women, Bottini told Scnupp that Eddie was the most significant relationship of her life.

The play also touches on Bottini’s triumphs and struggles with the National Organization for Women. After reading Betty Friedan’s book, The Feminine Mystique, in 1966 Bottini partnered with the author to form the first chapter of the organization. While Bottini served as president of the New York sect for several years, her being out became a sore spot with Friedan, who didn’t see LGBTQ issues as being high up on the feminist priority list. By the end of 1970, Friedan managed to oust lesbians from the chapter all together.

“I think she has great respect for Betty and all the good she did,” Schnupp said.

“I think she’d also say that Betty is very difficult. I think Ivy always had a larger vision than Betty, but Betty got things done.”

Schnupp said he hopes that audiences will be entertained and informed.

“I don’t think it’s a hit people over the head with social commentary and activism play,” Schnupp said. “I hope they see her humor, honesty, and fearlessness.” ∆ Send stories that meet at the corner of inclusivity and intersectionality to Arts Editor Ryah Cooley at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

you have to sing about people that don’t have hope the same way you want to sing to give them hope.”

Being a guard also allowed Johnson to see the fine line between success and failure.

“You’re only a couple of bad decisions every day from screwing your whole life up,” he said.

Opening act Josh Ward just scored his eighth consecutive No. 1 hit single on the Texas Regional Radio chart with “Change My Mind.” This ought to be a great night of Texas-style country music.

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents have also teamed up to bring you The Ragged Jubilee on Friday, Aug. 18, at the SLO Guild Hall (7 p.m.; all ages; $15 at ticketfly.com), playing a vinyl release show for their album Pyramid Scheme. The local garage-blues act lists everyone from Neil Young to Black Sabbath and Booker T as influences for their soul-jangle sounds.

exas-born singer-songwriter Cody Johnson started performing in his church, formed his first band as a freshman in high school (it included his dad), was a competitive bull rider, and worked as a prison guard in Huntsville, and he’s only 30 years old. If that ain’t some authentic country singer bona fides, I don’t know what is!

This Thursday, Aug.17, Cody Johnson, with opener Josh Ward, plays the Fremont Theater (7 p.m.; all ages; $22 presale at ticketfly.com or $25 at the door) for a Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents show.

All told, Johnson’s released six selfproduced albums on his own CoJo label, but he didn’t get national traction until 2014’s Cowboy Like Me, which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Country

Albums chart. Suddenly this regionally popular Texas act had Nashville’s country music center abuzz.

“I got a lot of ‘Who is this kid?’”

Johnson said in press materials. “I love that. That was a new horizon. And I’m gonna work to make sure people know exactly who I am.”

Johnson’s follow-up, 2016’s Gotta Be Me, reached No. 2 on the country charts and No. 11 on the Billboard Album chart, demonstrating his crossover appeal.

With a rowdy mix of country, rock, and lyrics that paint him as “a cowboy, raised on outlaw country, who drinks too much, fights too much, and won’t apologize for having an opinion,” he won a growing legion of fans.

“I’m a God-fearin’, hard-workin’, beerdrinkin’, fightin’, lovin’ cowboy from PHOTO COURTESY OF RYAN DAVIDSON

Texas,” he said. “That’s about it.”

He’s also a self-professed “adrenaline junkie,” which explains the bull riding.

“That’s a very, very rough sport to be in,” Johnson noted. “It’s very, very rough on your body. It’s very rough on your mind, and it’s scary. I mean there’s not a professional bull rider that won’t tell you it’s not scary. If it wasn’t scary, we wouldn’t do it.”

Real cowboy music from a real cowboy?

Hell yeah! Add in the rough conditions of Texas prison life he witnessed as a guard and you’ve got added layers of complexity in his music.

“There’s a lonely style of music that a lot of those guys listen to,” Johnson said.

“I worked in the field for a while, and they sang old prison work songs. Some had kind of lost hope, and I can see now that PHOTO COURTESY OF THE DOOBIE BROTHERS

Goldenvoice and Otter Productions, Inc. has cooked up an awesomely diverse show at the Avila Beach Golf Resort this Friday, Aug. 18 when punk-ska act Rancid shares headlining duties with hardcore punk/Celtic folk act Dropkick Murphys (5 p.m.; all ages; $45 to $90 at vallitix.com and Boo Boo Records).

The show also features openers Kevin Seconds of the punk act 7Seconds as well as classic second wave ska act The Selecter.

Billed as part of the Boston To Berkeley Tour, the concert promises to culminate with Rancid and Dropkick Murphys sharing the stage for a joint encore. The two bands share history together. Rancid’s Lars Frederiksen got the Dropkick Murphys signed to Hellcat Records after hearing a copy of the Murphys’ debut EP at a friend’s house.

“Rancid is looking forward to hitting the road with our brothers the Dropkick Murphys,” Rancid’s Tim Armstrong said in a press release. “We will end the night with DKM and us playing songs together.

Look out for The Selecter and Kevin Seconds to be on certain shows. SEE YA IN THE PIT!”

definitely was the shining star of the cast, though even her impressive performance can’t save what is supposed to be an edgeof-your-seat scare fest from becoming a bit of a bore.

Glen A creepy scarecrow, a dark and cluttered workshop, a room with doll parts hanging from the ceiling, a rickety dumbwaiter, a rambling gothic manse, a deep stone-lined well, and a secluded rural location offer a lot of familiar horror clichés, but there’s not much originality here, just tropes we’ve seen over and over.

Fleeting glimpses of a figure in darkened rooms, the titular creepy doll in a chair, the mysterious mother with a partial mask hiding something unknown—we’ve seen it all before. If you believe in the devil or evil spirits, you may find this film tapping into your psyche, but for the

rational-minded, it’s a whole lot of hooey.

Director Sandberg can certainly execute typical horror jump scares, but the real frights are missing, and I’m not sure why this film got tagged with an R rating. It’s not gory or filed with crude language; there’s no nudity. Over all, I’d call this film forgettable.

Anna Agreed. I doubt even diehard scary movie fans will get much out of Annabelle: Creation. I have no idea how its preceding films are, but this rendition did nothing to make me want to find out. It also fails to fall into the “so bad it’s good” category that some campy horror films do. It’s not particularly riveting, and with few exceptions, the performances are pretty flat. The force of evil is scarier when it is unseen; when its final demonic form is shown, I was underwhelmed. I love a good scary flick, but unfortunately they seem few and far between these days.

This film can be thrown onto the pile of forgettable films whose atmosphere and jump scares weren’t enough to push it out of mediocrity. I’ll be keeping my eye out for more from Bateman though. She showed some genuine skill and character work in her performance. Skip the theater on this one. It doesn’t seem too enhanced by the big screen. If the occult makes your hair stand on end, it may warrant a home viewing, but I personally would skip right past it if I saw it playing on demand.

CITY OF GHOSTS What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? The Palm (Last showing Aug. 17) If you’re unclear on why so many people are fleeing Syria right now, or why being a journalist can be a dangerous profession, City of Ghosts can shed some light on these things for you.

City of Ghosts is a documentary that chronicles the work of Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), a group of citizen journalists using the power of social media to expose the horrors within Raqqa, Syria, after ISIS took over the city. Many members of RBSS have been executed by

ISIS or had to flee to other countries, and those that remain continue to risk their lives daily.

While this documentary does contain a lot of important, not widely known information about the war in Syria, it is definitely not for the faint of heart.

Throughout the course of the film you will see actual footage of people being tortured, shot, beheaded, and countless other atrocities. Some of the emotional scenes are just as intense as the graphic scenes, including one part where an RBSS member watches an ISIS-created video of his father being murdered. His expression is completely blank, and he says that he’s watched the video multiple times because it “gives him strength.”

BLAST FROM THE another sequel in the works. It’s hilarious throughout, super quotable, and brilliantly casted. Winter and Reeves make Bill and Ted so likable and relatable that you can’t help but root for them even though their band doesn’t even know how to play yet, and it’s no wonder they’re failing school when they do things like mistake Joan of Arc for Noah’s wife.

Despite being nearly three decades old, this movie still holds up pretty well.

There is one scene where a homophobic slur is dropped after Bill and Ted briefly hug, which no doubt wouldn’t fly in a movie made today, but everything else that would make any other movie feel outdated— namely, the soundtrack, fashion choices, and slang used—instead come off as simply parts of Bill and Ted’s personalities. While it’s rare to hear phrases such as “bodacious” or “most triumphant” in dialogue today, the two goofball protagonists would be very different, much less quotable people without their distinctive vocabularies.

If you somehow have been living under a totally bogus rock and have never seen Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, I highly recommend you give it a chance. It’s a movie full of laughs, history, and a great lesson about being excellent to each other no matter where or when you come from. Not to mention hearing Abraham Lincoln (Robert V.

THE GLASS CASTLE What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Fair Oaks, Bay, Park, Galaxy Based on Jeanette Walls’ best selling memoir comes The Glass Castle, transformed for film by writer and director Destin Daniel Cretton (The Shack).

I typically fall pretty firmly on the side of team book when it comes to written tales being adapted for the big screen. That said, in this instance, the movie did a pretty good job of retaining the essence of Walls’ storytelling.

While we’re dealing deeply and intimately here with Walls’ (portrayed

by Brie Larson) upbringing and life, her parents, and more specifically, her father Rex (Woody Harrelson) really feels like the focus here.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Walls last year before she gave a talk at Cal Poly. Today, she is a grounded, successful person who seems to have made peace with her tumultuous past.

While her parents Rose Mary (Naomi Watts) and Rex constantly stimulated their four children intellectually with a tidal wave of books and ideas, they also didn’t keep them regularly enrolled in school, blew grocery money on booze and art supplies, and constantly moved the family from town to town—trading one uninhabitable shack for another, usually after Rex lost a job or got in trouble with local law enforcement.

The movie starts with the family hitting the road after busting a young Jeanette out of the hospital, where she was recovering from third degree burns after being allowed to cook hot dogs in boiling water, on the stove, by herself because her mom was too busy painting to feed the kids. When Rex gets asked one question too many by the doctor and social worker on staff, he simply sneaks his still-healing

Pick

daughter out of the hospital, turning it into a sort of reconnaissance game for the kids.

If you find this kind of parental neglect especially upsetting, be warned, it only builds from there.

Harrelson turns in what could very well be an Oscar-winning performance as the charismatic, brilliant, and deeply flawed alcoholic Rex, whose anger can flare up in an instant. He is so passionate, but falls so short of what his family needs. His love for his kids, particularly Jeannette, who seems to be his favorite, is apparent, but he either fails to show up fully or chooses to create chaos. Watts’ Rose Mary is more of a typical narcissist who is more concerned with her art career that never was than the fact that there’s nothing for her children to eat but butter.

Larson as Jeannette toes the line between the daughter who believes her dad can do impossible things like building a glass palace for the family on a hill and the one who knows better. Moments like Rex robbing Jeannette’s piggy bank to buy alcohol or Rex attempting to detox from alcohol by tying himself to the bed stand out as some of the film’s darker moments.

There are also small moments of light here and there, like Rex “giving” each of his children a star for Christmas or pouring several bags of cash onto Jeanette’s bed that he won gambling so she won’t have to drop out of school.

Jeanette manages to build a life for herself far different than what her parents gave her. While Jeannette’s story is certainly an underdog tale, she ultimately is forced to reckon with the life she’s made for herself and her relationship with her parents.

Whether your childhood was idyllic or a little closer to Walls’ experience, at its heart The Glass Castle is a highly relatable coming of age story of seeing and accepting our parents for the flawed human beings that they are. (127 min.)

AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER

What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? The Palm Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk direct this follow-up documentary to the Oscar-wining An Inconvenient Truth (2006), which exposed the threat of global climate change. This time around, the filmmakers document the progress made in tackling climate change over the last decade as well as former Vice President Al Gore’s efforts to persuade global leaders to invest in renewable energy.

Former President George W. Bush, John Kerry, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, and in archival footage, former President Barack Obama and current President Donald Trump, also appear.

This is an important movie with an important message, and within it you’ll find emotionally charged moments of triumph and despondent moments of hopelessness.

What you won’t find is an argument powerful enough to persuade climate change deniers.

The film makes a valiant effort to simplify the sometimes dizzyingly complicated science behind climate change, but perhaps more importantly, it offers a primer on how to engage citizen activists at the grassroots. Gore seems to understand that without the populace behind this fight, it’s doomed.

Ultimately, the film is upbeat. Gore in indefatigable! That’s good. Because in the face of venal corporate interests and corrupt political opposition, our planet needs a warrior like Gore, even if he’s only armed with a cell phone, a slide show, and the truth. (98 min.)

Pure magic

John Moreland dazzles at BarrelHouse Brewing’s new grass bowl venue

I

t’s Sunday, Aug. 13, and I’m on my way to have my heart broken by singersongwriter John Moreland, whose devastating songs always leave me joyously despondent. He’ll be taking BarrelHouse Brewing Co.’s new grass bowl stage in about 90 minutes, but I arrived early to take a tour of this Paso Robles craft brewing operation. Well, that and to drink a few of their tasty barley pops.

Bar Manager Rustle Bedwell sits down with me as I sip on a light, refreshing Templeton Ale. He explains that tonight’s show is just the third ticketed event for the new venue.

“Todd’s really good at finding acts for us that fit our vibe,” Bedwell explains, referring to Todd Newman of Good Medicine Presents, the promoter behind tonight’s show. Their next collaboration will be The Brothers Comatose show on Oct. 4.

“We’re kind of the local hangout,” Bedwell says. “Most of our customers come back every week. It might be their Thursday night hangout or their Saturday night hangout. We get tourists, but the majority of our business is my regular local crowd, my people.”

What BarrelHouse also has is a super

comfortable family and dog friendly vibe.

There’s a cool waterfall, lots of indoor and outdoor games to play, a beautiful oakdappled setting, and killer beer! Located in Tin City—a series of metal buildings in southeast Paso—BarrelHouse is surrounded by about a dozen wineries, a cider house, a distillery, and more on the way. Both a restaurant and ice cream shop are schedule to open nearby soon.

BarrelHouse’s Good Times Manager Emily Robertson takes me on a tour of the facility, showing me the huge stainless steel tanks and bottling facility, pointing out three smaller tanks perched on a loft in the corner.

“Those three tanks are what owner Jason Carvalho started with when he was brewing beer in his garage,” Robertson says.

Carvalho teamed with longtime friend Kevin Nickell to start BarrelHouse, which opened four years ago in Paso but now has a speakeasy in SLO Town and an even bigger brewing facility in Visalia. The pair has since added Chris Vaughn as a third partner.

Robertson mentions that the venue can host private events and that they’re hosting a sour beer festival on Sept. 23, with 25 guest breweries participating.

Good people, good times, great beer

BarrelHouse Brewing Co. is located at 3055 Limestone Way, in southeast Paso Robles in the Tin City complex. It features free live music on Fridays and Saturdays during the spring and summer, as well as ticketed events in the new grass bowl venue. A food truck is on site daily, and a rotating selection of around 10 craft beers is on tap. Visit barrelhousebrewing.com for the food truck, live music, and event schedule.

After the tour, I grab another beer, Sunny Daze, and pull up a spot at a picnic table next to Good Medicine’s Newman.

“What truly impresses me is the culture these guys have created here,” Newman says.

“It’s family. As a business owner myself, I’m impressed by the intention behind creating this family friendly atmosphere.”

Soon the grass bowl fills with people, as do the picnic tables. Some folks bring their own beach chairs. The opener, Christian Lee Hutson, takes to the stage like clockwork at 6:30 p.m. About 35 minutes later he finishes up, and John Moreland lumbers on stage at 7:30, settling in with his accompanist John Calvin Abney.

“If we don’t bleed, it don’t feel like a song,” Moreland sings in his rumble of a voice that rolls over the crowd like distant thunder, breaking my heart right in two. Δ Glen Starkey is New Times’ Senior Staff Writer. Contact him at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Green gold rush! Y Dip into the dip this Sept. 9 at Morro Bay’s most epic AvoMarg Fest yet

Let’s guac about it

The AvoMarg Festival kicks off from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 714 Embarcadero St. in Morro Bay Saturday, Sept. 9. A Taste of the Grove dinner will be held at The Packing Shed in Morro Bay on Sept. 8. For more information, tickets, and a detailed schedule of festival events, go to avomargfest.com.

ONE AVO, MANY WAYS Everything from a mini-avocado toss for the kids, live bands and margaritas for those who like to party, avocado culinary delights for the foodie set, and a chance to win one year supply of fresh avocados (good for everyone) is on the table for this year’s AvoMarg Fest, slated for Sept. 9 on the Morro Bay Embarcadero.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF AVOMARG FEST

@flavorslo

our cell phone buzzes. You don’t recognize the number, but accept the call anyway. On the other end is—who else—but your friendly neighborhood avocado farmer, and he has just alerted you to the fact that you’ve JUST WON A YEAR’S SUPPLY OF AVOCADOS! For real. No joke. Dead serious!

What do you do? Maybe perform a crazy touchdown dance in your living room while fist pumping like a maniac? Collapse into a puddle of tears, clutching your heart like you’ve just won the lottery?

Last year’s real life AvoMarg Fest contest winner, a real life North County woman, screamed into her phone like she’d just seen The Beatles live in concert, circa 1965.

If you can relate perfectly to this reaction, I salute you.

You, too, probably believe that avocados—packed with healthy fats and buttery flavor—are Mother Nature’s way of proving she really loves us and wants us to be happy. You probably think a bowl of guac and chips constitutes its own meal, and a damn good one at that.

You’re also probably going to this year’s AvoMarg Festival, slated for Sept 9 on the Morro Bay Embarcadero. Wait. You’re not sure? Never been before?

Let me lay some truth on you. This fest isn’t just for folks from the valley in need of salty fresh sea air. It’s for us locals, too! With such a thriving avocado farming community in SLO County and throughout the coast, why shouldn’t we, Central Coast locals, enjoy this hedonistic-yet-healthy homegrown crop to the fullest?

You could even be the next winner of a year’s supply of delicious green gold or your very own avocado tree (drawings will take place throughout the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.). Just the idea of the possibility of winning makes my heart quiver with joy.

According to festival marketing guru Travis Ford, there’s more reason than ever for locals (and their whole families) to take a dip into—well—the dip.

“The last few years, it’s gotten bigger and bigger.

Kids 10 and under are still free, and this year, we decided to take the fest to the next level, adding magicians and kid’s performers,” Ford said. “Last year, it was a tad too crowded. Now, we have created a much larger open space that will entice attendees to hang around longer.”

In addition to live music by a host of bands and the newly expanded kid’s “GromZone,” mom and dad can dig their forks into an epicurean area where the crop takes full foodie center stage. For those even more interested in the farm-to-table applications, plan on attending the fest’s annual Taste of the Grove dinner, slated for Friday, Sept. 8, at The Packing Shed, a Morro Bay avocado farm just minutes from shore. Think: craft beer, artisanal spirits, and chef presenters.

An ongoing fundraiser for the high school boosters, festival day guac is always handmade by the Morro Bay High School Cheer Team and pits are always recycled into plant starters, so local youth can learn where their guac actually comes from (turns out, some really good green things actually do grow on trees).

In short, AvoMarg Fest is all about avocados, the people who love and farm them, and the laid back culture that so perfectly encapsulates California’s unofficial snack. Oh, and margaritas, which—let’s be honest—have a way of elevating chips and dip into a true West Coast delicacy.

Longtime festival organizer and avocado farmer Frank Alegria is a living testament to the Golden State’s long love affair with the once exotic crop. He owns a 30-acre avocado ranch in Refugio Canyon, nestled in the lush foliage located just west of Goleta.

He’s also a district field manager at Calavo Growers Inc., one of the oldest avocado packing and distributing FLAVOR continued page 46

Flavor FLAVOR from page 45

plants in the U.S. Alegria’s grandfather and father were both born on the ranch, and Alegria’s adult children now live on the same land, carrying on the farming tradition. You could say the family owes this lucky lot in life to their Spanish ancestors, who homesteaded the area in the mid-1800s, first planting beans, lemons, and walnuts.

Avocado trees were planted on the land during the 1940s, back when the fruit was truly a rare treat. The crop might not have worked out so well for the family if it hadn’t been for a new, rock star avocado breed—the Hass, which came to the farm in 1952.

“In the old days, we mainly had fuerte, which was a good avocado, but the trees wouldn’t produce every year,” Alegria said. “There were a lot of different varieties, and they all came off the tree at different times. Hass changed everything, because it not only offered consistency in flavor and ripening, but it also allowed farmers to grow a single variety all year round.”

He, like most avocado farmers, will always harbor a soft spot for the Hass.

He’s also pretty laid back. See, avocado farming comes with its stresses (mainly, everyone from squirrels to bears to human avocado thieves want to get their

Well done: Tablas Creek Vineyard in Paso Robles was just named No. 2 on the Daily Meal’s list of 101 Best Wineries in America 2017! The list is put together each year through a survey of wine writers, sommeliers, chefs, and restaurateurs, and there were quite a few picks from Paso Robles and the Central Coast! View all the local winners at dailymeal.com …

Alta Colina Vineyard & Winery just won a 2017 Sunset Magazine “Best in the West” Travel Award, repping the only winery to be honored this year. The award, which highlights the wine and its new vintage-trailer campground located on a secluded hilltop in the winery’s estate vineyard is featured in the August 2017 issue on news stands now. Way cool.

paws on them). However, avocados are also a slow-and-steady crop that take years to mature and patience to produce.

Working for Calavo, Alegria spends his days stopping at farms, from Montecito to Salinas. These are the folks who are doing everything they can to make sure the AvoMarg fest is ripe and flavorful, indeed.

“I help coordinate the harvests and pass information along to the growers of the area. These are real salt of the earth people working on some of the most beautiful farms around,” Alegria said.

“Cayucos, Morro Bay, and Cambria are all amazing spots for growing avocados, and the farmers I deal with up here remind me of the folks back in the day, growing up.”

A lot has changed since the early years of avocado growing in California, but Alegria knows that one fact remains.

No one says “no” to the invitation of a free avocado, whether it be one ripe specimen or a 365-day supply.

“Every time I get the phone number of the year supply winner and I go to call them up, I know it’s going to be a very big deal,” he said.

Hayley Thomas Cain always says “yes” to an avocado. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com. from Templeton to Baywood (and don’t forget to bring those canvas bags). P.S.

A little burnt out on West Coast IPAs? Try Tap It’s northeast inspired IPA—the Haze Faze— featuring a truly juicy flavor and aroma profile. This Aug. 18 starting at 5:30 p.m., the outdoor beer garden will also feature live tunes by True Zion, a band known for its fusion of roots reggae, funk, Latin, and ska.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. NOTICE: ALL AMERICAN FORECLOSURE SERVICE, AS TRUSTEE, WILL NOT ACCEPT THIRD PARTY ENDORSED CASHIER’S CHECKS. ALL CASHIER’S CHECKS MUST BE PAYABLE DIRECTLY TO ALL AMERICAN FORECLOSURE SERVICE. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: 581 HIGUERA RESTAURANT GROUP LLC, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, Duly Appointed Trustee: All American Foreclosure Service.

Recorded 12/21/2016 as Instrument No. 2016067471 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of San Luis Obispo County, California. Date of Sale: 9/7/2017 at 11:00 AM. Place of Sale: In the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Bldg. located at 1087 Santa Rosa St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $213,756.60. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 581 HIGUERA STREET SAN LUIS OBISPO, California 93401. A.P.N.: 003-511-013. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of the monies paid to the trustee and the successful bidder shall have no recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (805) 543-7088 or visit this Internet Web site www.eloandata. com , using the file number assigned to this case 41936. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 8/7/2017. All American Foreclosure Service, 1363 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 (805) 543-7088.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What thing do you yearn for that would also benefit other people?

Testify at truthrooster@gmail.com.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): “To disobey in order to take action is the byword of all creative spirits,” said philosopher Gaston Bachelard. This mischievous advice is perfect for your use right now, Aries. I believe you’ll thrive through the practice of ingenious rebellion—never in service to your pride, but always to feed your soul’s lust for deeper, wilder life. Here’s more from Bachelard: “Autonomy comes through many small disobediences, at once clever, well thought-out, and patiently pursued, so subtle at times as to avoid punishment entirely.”

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In accordance with the astrological omens, I hereby declare the next two weeks to be your own personal Amnesty Holiday. To celebrate, ask for and dole out forgiveness. Purge and flush away any non-essential guilt and remorse that are festering inside you. If there truly are hurtful sins that you still haven’t atoned for, make a grand effort to atone for them—with gifts and heart-felt messages if necessary. At the same time, I urge you to identify accusations that others have wrongly projected onto you and that you have carried around as a burden even though they are not accurate or fair. Expunge them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Congratulations! I expect that during the next three weeks, you will be immune to what psychoanalyst Joan Chodorow calls “the void of sadness, the abyss of fear, the chaos of anger, and the alienation of contempt and shame.” I realize that what I just said might sound like an exaggeration. Aren’t all of us subject to regular encounters with those states? How could you possibly go so long without brushing up against them? I stand by my prediction, and push even further. For at least the next three weeks, I suspect you will also be available for an inordinate amount of what Chodorow calls “the light of focused insight” and “the playful, blissful, all-embracing experience of joy.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The coming days would be an excellent time to celebrate (even brag about) the amusing idiosyncrasies and endearing quirks that make you lovable. To get you inspired, read this testimony from my triple Gemini friend Alyssa: “I have beauty marks that form the constellation Pegasus on my belly.

I own my own ant farm. I’m a champion laugher. I teach sign language to squirrels. Late at night when I’m horny and overtired I may channel the spirit of a lion goddess named Sekhmet. I can whistle the national anthems of eight different countries. I collect spoons from the future. I can play the piano with my nose and my toes. I have forever banished the green-eyed monster to my closet.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your education may take unusual forms during the coming weeks. For example, you could receive crunchy lessons from velvety sources, or tender instructions from exacting challenges. Your curiosity might expand to enormous proportions in the face of a noble and elegant tease. And chances are good that you’ll find a new teacher in an unlikely setting, or be prodded and tricked into asking crucial questions you’ve been neglecting to ask. Even if you haven’t been particularly street smart up until now, Cancerian, I bet your ability to learn from uncategorizable experiences will blossom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If you love someone, set them free,” said New Age author Richard Bach. “If they come back, they’re yours; if they don’t, they never were.” By using my welleducated intellect to transmute this hippy-dippy thought into practical advice, I came up with a wise strategy for you to consider as you re-evaluate your relationships with allies.

Try this: Temporarily suspend any compulsion you might have to change or fix these people; do your best to like them and even love them exactly as they are. Ironically, granting them this freedom to be themselves may motivate them to modify, or at least tone down, the very behavior in themselves that you’re semi-allergic to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1892, workers began building the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. But as of August 2017, it is still under construction. Renovation has been and continues to be extensive. At one point in its history, designers even changed its architectural style from Neo-Byzantine and Neo-Romanesque to Gothic Revival. I hope this serves as a pep talk in the coming weeks, which will be an excellent time to evaluate your own progress, Virgo. As you keep toiling away on behalf of your dreams, there’s no rush. In fact, my sense is that you’re proceeding at precisely the right rate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How many countries has the United States bombed since the end of World War II? Twentyfive, to be exact. But if America’s intention has been to prod these nations into forming more free and egalitarian governments, the efforts have been mostly fruitless.

Few of the attacked nations have become substantially more democratic. I suggest you regard this as a valuable lesson to apply to your own life in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Metaphorical bombing campaigns wouldn’t accomplish even 10 percent of your goals, and would also be expensive in more ways than one. So I recommend using the “killing with kindness” approach. Be wily and generous. Cloak your coaxing in compassion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know about the Ten Commandments, a code of ethics and behavior that’s central to Christianity and Judaism. You may not be familiar with my Ten Suggestions, which begin with “Thou Shall Not Bore God” and “Thou Shall Not Bore Thyself.” Then there are the Ten Indian Commandments proposed by the Bird Clan of East Central Alabama. They include “Give assistance and kindness whenever needed” and “Look after the well-being of your mind and body.” I bring these to your attention, Sagittarius, because now is an excellent time to formally formulate and declare your own covenant with life. What are the essential principles that guide you to the highest good?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s a definition of “fantasizing” as articulated by writer Jon Carroll. It’s “a sort of ‘in-brain’ television, where individuals create their own ‘shows’— imaginary narratives that may or may not include real people.” As you Capricorns enter the High Fantasy Season, you might enjoy this amusing way of describing the activity that you should cultivate and intensify. Would you consider cutting back on your consumption of movies and TV shows?

That might inspire you to devote more time and energy to watching the stories you can generate in your mind’s eye.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 43 cartoon stories, the coyote named Wile E. Coyote has tried to kill and devour the swift-running flightless bird known as the Road Runner. Every single time, Wile E. has failed to achieve his goal. It’s apparent to astute observers that his lack of success is partly due to the fact that he doesn’t rely on his natural predatory instincts.

Instead, he concocts elaborate, overly-complicated schemes.

In one episode, he camouflages himself as a cactus, buys artificial lightning bolts, and tries to shoot himself from a bow as if he were an arrow. All these plans end badly. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned: To reach your next goal, trust your instincts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You temporarily have cosmic permission to loiter and goof off and shirk your duties. To be a lazy bum and meander aimlessly and avoid tough decisions. To sing off-key and draw stick figures and write bad poems. To run slowly and flirt awkwardly and dress like a slob. Take advantage of this opportunity, because it’s only available for a limited time. It’s equivalent to pushing the reset button. It’s meant to re-establish your default settings. But don’t worry about that now. Simply enjoy the break in the action. ∆
