North County health clinic closed due to pressure from activists, says Planned Parenthood
P
lanned Parenthood officials claim that a SLO County nonprofit backed out of a partnership to address critical health care needs in North SLO County due to pressure from opponents of the reproductive health organization. In an email obtained by New Times, Planned Parenthood California Central Coast President Jenna Tosh said the organization had to close a satellite clinic in Paso Robles after its partner, Peoples’ Self-Help Housing of SLO County, received “hostile communications” from antiPlanned Parenthood activists. “Faced with this opposition, Peoples’ Self-Help Housing ended the Partnership with Planned Parenthood,” Tosh wrote. “For this reason, our Paso Robles health center closed its doors on March 30.” Beginning in early February, Planned Parenthood began offering health care services for low-income and uninsured individuals at a clinic located at Peoples’ Self-Help Housing’s Canyon Creek Apartments in Paso Robles. The partnership, funded by a grant from Dignity Health, allowed Peoples’ Self-Help Housing to expand the clinic’s operations from just one day a week to five. Under the partnership, Planned Parenthood would offer its services at the clinic two days a week while another nonprofit, the SLO Noor Foundation, would offer its services three days each week. Planned Parenthood said it participated in order to address inadequate access to health care in North County, specifically low rates of breast and cervical cancer screenings. The services it provided at the clinic included those screenings, as well as birth control and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases. Tosh said Planned Parenthood served 32 patients in its first month. “Several patients shared that they had gone years without accessing basic reproductive care,” Tosh wrote in her email. “One woman we saw had not had a cervical cancer screening in eight years.”

Cal Poly suspends all Greek life amid blackface photo fallout
Cal Poly placed all 27 of its fraternity and sorority chapters on indefinite suspensions April 17, amid continued campus outrage over a photo of a Lambda Chi Alpha member in blackface that spread across the county and country. “Greek life is a privilege at this university,” Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong wrote in a letter announcing his decision to the campus community. “Until all fraternities and sororities are conducting themselves in a manner that is respectful of all students—as well as holding each other accountable—they will not have a place at Cal Poly.” The suspensions for Interfraternity and Panhellenic Council organizations came just three days after hundreds of students and more than 40 campus organizations boycotted Cal Poly Open House activities on April 14, when prospective students are welcomed onto campus and introduced to student clubs. Many clubs left their booths empty and marched through campus in protest holding signs like, “Cal Poly: Not safe for students of color.” Some students called for Armstrong’s resignation after he told local media that the student in blackface
wouldn’t likely face expulsion. In his letter, Armstrong said he made the decision to halt all Greek life after learning of a second racially insensitive Greek-related incident on April 14. In a photo that was taken six weeks ago, three Sigma Nu brothers are dressed like Hispanic gangsters. A caption read: “When you get [t]he holmes to take a photo of la familia.” “If Greek life is to remain at Cal Poly, these students must reinvent their organizations and activities so they add value to our campus community and foster a culture of inclusion instead of undermining it,” Armstrong said. Cal Poly spokesman Matt Lazier added that the suspensions are also a broader response to “numerous problems over the past few years” in Cal Poly Greek life, which he said included “racially charged and insensitive events, sexual assaults, hazing and alcohol-related deaths, and violations of the university’s code of conduct regarding hosting social events.” “Too often, the Greek organizations have allowed members to do wrong, and they have not intervened to prevent or correct obvious problems,” Lazier said. The terms of the suspension are still under NEWS continued page 6

discussion, Lazier said. Typically, it prohibits the fraternity or sorority from holding official events and gatherings. The suspension will not apply to cultural fraternities and sororities, which are governed by the United Sororities and Fraternities Council. Lazier said the university’s action isn’t to “get rid of” Greek life on campus, but “rather a pause and a reset.” “The president acknowledges that many individual members of Greek organizations have not personally broken any rules or displayed any hurtful or thoughtless behavior,” he said. “This suspension is not intended to punish those individuals, or even any particular organizations, but rather to say: ‘Greek culture as a whole is broken. … We will welcome Greek organizations back to active status when we are confident that they have a definite and achievable plan to hold themselves and each other accountable.” —Peter Johnson
Avila residents protest against development
At the April 17 San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors meeting, a quarter of the room was filled with blue-shirtwearing activists concerned about future development in Avila Beach. Concerned Citizens for Avila presented supervisors with 2,047 signatures on a petition against any large development in the beach town. “We’re not opposed to development in Avila. We are opposed to development that is unplanned and unreasonable in light of the limitations of our area,” said Martin Suits, a member of the group’s board of directors. Suits said the group is asking for an update to Avila Beach’s general plan before any future development is considered for the area. The general plan was adopted in the ’80s, but he said there has been a huge change in population, infrastructure, and tourism since then. The group formed in 2015 when HomeFed Corp, a company that leases Wild Cherry Canyon from a subsidiary of PG&E, proposed building 1,000 to 1,500 homes on 240 acres of the property. Discussions about the proposed project ended in 2016. In the same year, Chevron proposed building a 232-unit resort at Avila Point. Lack of access halted the project. Since 2015, the Board of Supervisors has been working with the advisory council and residents on research for the update. The group was spurred into action because of an email that was released in late February. The email was between PG&E and a local developer seeking to build a 15,000home community in Wild Cherry Canyon. An application has yet to be submitted to the county for a proposed project. SLO County 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill said that while there are not any serious development projects at this time, there has always been talk of potential projects for the area. He said Concerned Citizens for Avila spoke during public comment to remind the board and community of opposition to future projects. “They came mostly just to show citizen vigilance. Because Avila is a beautiful

place and it has natural limitations,” Hill said. “You’ve got the two-lane road, you have a very busy beach on any given day, and then, the events at the golf course.” He said he doesn’t see any development happening anytime soon. —Karen Garcia
Grover Beach closer to lowering cannabis taxes
Attempting to maintain a competitive advantage in what it hopes will be a booming industry, a divided Grover Beach City Council is one step closer to lowering taxes for the city’s nascent cannabis businesses. Members of the council voted 3-2 on April 16 to direct city staff to develop an ordinance that cuts tax rates for commercial cannabis retailers, manufacturers, distributors, and cultivators and caps the maximum amount of taxes some of those businesses will have to pay. Councilmembers Jeff Lee and Barbara Nicolls and Mayor John Shoals voted in favor of moving forward with the cuts, while Councilmembers Mariam Shah and Debbie Peterson voted against it. If passed, the cuts will lower gross receipts taxes for commercial recreational marijuana retailers from 10 percent to 5 percent. Gross receipts tax on manufacturing and distribution businesses would be lowered to 3 percent. Commercial cannabis cultivation operations would be taxed at $5 per square foot of building floor area, down from $25 per square foot for the first 5,000 square feet of canopy, and $10 per square foot past that. Voters approved the current tax rates in November 2016. Under California law, the City Council can vote to lower them without calling for another election. In addition to the cuts, the council also asked the staff to cap the maximum tax for retail businesses at $3 million per retailer and $2.5 million for each manufacturing or distribution businesses. A cap for cultivation businesses will not be included. The tax cap was a point of contention among the council. Peterson said it would be unfair to smaller cannabis businesses, while Shah questioned why the city would limit the potential revenue with a cap. “I just don’t understand why we are bargaining against ourselves when we haven’t collected one dollar,” Shah said. Lee, who proposed adding the cap, argued that it would be an incentive for cannabis businesses looking to set up in Grover Beach. “I want to be amenable to the retailers with the tax cap,” Lee said. County staff estimated that the lower rates would bring in about $1.2 million in the 2021-22 fiscal year, 39 percent lower than the $2 million estimated under the current tax structure. The estimate did not include the impact of the tax caps. City Manager Matthew Bronson said that the revenue estimates were calculated conservatively, and did not include the possible additional revenue from recreational marijuana businesses. “If this goes along as planned, we are going to far exceed that amount,” Shoals said. The city staff will present the proposed tax cut ordinance to the council in May. —Chris McGuinness

Cal Shasta fire victims can rebuild lake homes, counties say
Monterey and San Luis Obispo county supervisors agreed on April 17 to allow eight Cal Shasta property owners to rebuild Lake Nacimiento homes decimated by the Chimney Fire, despite their locations inside a Monterey flood easement. The votes put an end to what became a contentious standoff between lakeside residents and Monterey officials, where the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) threatened to prohibit rebuilding in its easement, which runs the perimeter of the lake below a 825-foot elevation line. “We are delighted,” Cal Shasta Club President Steve Demsher told New Times. “After the nightmare we’ve been through, to at least have a light to run toward is great.” Eight of the 27 Cal Shasta homes destroyed in the 2016 wildfire were located within Monterey’s easement. MCWRA officials argued that a ban on reconstruction was necessary for “properly operating and maintaining the Nacimiento Reservoir,” but Cal Shasta residents said more than 100 other structures are also below the 825foot line, and their homes should be permanently “grandfathered” in. Monterey and SLO County policymakers ultimately sided with the homeowners. The MCWRA supervisors directed agency staff to draft a policy within three weeks that will allow rebuilding to occur. The SLO County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously the same day to amend a land-use ordinance that will have the same effect. Demsher said property owners from several communities on Lake Nacimiento attended both meetings to advocate for the fire victims. “We had between 30 to 40 people—a great turnout for our cause,” he said. When asked why the negotiations were so difficult and contentious, Demsher said relations between lake residents and the MCWRA have been strained at numerous points over the years. “We’ve had dealings with MCWRA for years and years,” he said. “No matter what happens, it’s always a battle. We’ve tried our best to work with them. ... At this point, we just want the permission to be able to [rebuild].” —Peter Johnson
GALA mulls name change One of SLO County’s most prominent LGBTQIA organizations is considering changing its name to better represent a broader spectrum of the community it serves. In a recent survey, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of the Central Coast (GALA) asked its members whether the nonprofit advocacy organization should change its name. The surveys also asked participants to suggest names. “The No. 1 reason for considering the name change is to provide a broader understanding of who we are,” GALA President Matias Bernal said. “We have trans folks, bisexual people, and people who identify as gender fluid. We want to be more inclusive in our community.” The organization’s current name appears on incorporation documents dating back to 1994. Bernal said that the question was placed on the survey because the organization’s board, which is elected, wanted to ask the membership directly. “Our decision is really tied to what our membership thinks and them letting us know where we want to go with this,” he said. GALA isn’t the only LGBTQIA organization to consider changing its name to something more inclusive. In 2016, the Oakland-based Gay-Straight Alliance Network announced it was changing its name to the Gender and Sexualities Alliance Network in order to reflect a more expansive and inclusive sense of the group’s mission. Reese Galido, a member of another SLO-based LGBTQIA advocacy group, The Queer Crowd, applauded GALA for considering the name change. “I think it’s important to reflect the way people are talking about themselves,” Galido said. “It’s important to acknowledge that the language is changing.” —Chris McGuinness

FACE OFF Greg Clayton (left) and Ian Parkinson (right) participated in a debate April 11 as both men attempt to woo voters for the SLO County sheriff’s race.
BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS
Head to head Parkinson and Clayton hold first debate in race for SLO County sheriff
T
hose who couldn’t find a seat lined the walls and eventually spilled out into the lobby of the San Luis Obispo County Government Center on April 11. They were there to see the first debate in the race for SLO County sheriff, pitting incumbent Ian Parkinson against his challenger, former police officer and current private investigator Greg Clayton. The race has revolved around the death of SLO County Jail inmate Andrew Holland, a schizophrenic man who died of an embolism in January 2017 after being strapped in a restraint chair for 46 hours. Disturbing footage of Holland’s death released last month galvanized supporters on both sides. “I know that there are some very volatile issues involved in regard to this particular race,� said Jacqueline Frederick, president of the SLO County Latino Outreach Council, which hosted the debate. Clayton, who has made the Holland case the centerpiece for his campaign, dove right into the issue during his opening remarks. “The torture of Andrew Holland was completely avoidable, and the resulting cover-up by the sheriff is an insult to this county,� he said. “It’s time for new leadership. It’s time to restore the public confidence in our sheriff.� Parkinson touted his record and experience, telling the audience that he has been implementing a number of reforms at the jail rolled out in the wake of Holland’s death. “My No. 1 focus is not the campaign. My No. 1 focus is making change in our community,� he said. Parkinson said he believed he had the experience to make those changes at the jail and run the office. He said he’d worked in law enforcement for 34 years, while Clayton worked in law enforcement for 13 years but was medically retired and didn’t have management experience. “He was a line-level police officer,� Parkinson said. “He did not have any supervision or management experience.� Clayton used his rebuttal to again
remind the audience about Holland’s death. “What kind of management and judgment was there when that occurred,â€? he said. The questions, which were submitted by members of the audience, touched on more than Holland’s death and included topics such as opiate use and abuse, school safety, gang activity, and human trafficking. Both candidates also weighed in on whether they’d support a citizen oversight committee. Clayton said he strongly supported creating such a committee, and Parkinson said he’d be open to it. “I would say that I would not be opposed, but we have to be careful,â€? Parkinson said. “We have to have an educated group to understand the complexities of both the Bill of Rights for police officers and also to respect the privacy of individuals who are protected by law. ‌ Having something like that I would not be afraid of.â€? Both candidates said they had serious concerns about Senate Bill 54, the socalled “sanctuary stateâ€? bill. Parkinson said the law hampered the department’s ability to communicate with federal partners and made it hard for the federal government to take dangerous criminals out of local jails. Clayton also took issue with the bill. “Our inability to relinquish these individuals to custody of ICE causes them to be returned to the communities which they prey upon,â€? he said. Clayton closed out the two-hour debate by calling Holland’s death “inexcusable.â€? “Your elected sheriff must be held accountable,â€? he said. Parkinson again promised that he had the experience to carry out the necessary reforms. “We have made a directional change. ‌ I’m not finished. I can make this change.

Waiting to sprout The doors are creeping open for a San Luis Obispo County cannabis industry, but barriers to entry still threaten many BY PETER JOHNSON • PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM
A
usten Connella and Kristin Kordich’s family cannabis farm isn’t easy to find—and that was the idea. It’s tucked away in the Suey Creek valley, several miles east of Nipomo, in one of San Luis Obispo County’s remote nooks and crannies. Amid virtually untouched rolling hills and oak woodlands, Connella and Kordich bought the land in 2013 with seclusion in mind. Back then, cultivating cannabis for a living came with a heavier stigma. “That was one of reasons we originally came out here,” Connella said while leading up a winding driveway to his property. “Five years ago, things weren’t where they are today. We were still trying to keep it out of the eye of the public and be safe.” Except for chatter from Connella’s 3-year-old daughter, who’s playing outside with Kordich, it’s quiet by his house with expansive views of the valley. A large bed of cannabis plants sits about 50 feet from the front door. Identical beds are scattered throughout the property. In total, they have 1,000 plants on the organic farm they call SloCal Roots. “I practice regenerative agricultural,” Connella said. “We bring the soil in from Shasta—volcanic, ancient riverbed. That’s the blend that’s made up there and brought down here. It’s got good bacterial life in it and we try to keep it alive.” For his entire adult life, Connella, 35, has envisioned a day when cannabis farmers could be considered on the same playing field as other agriculturists in SLO County. As a teenager in Atascadero, Connella learned about the medicinal qualities of cannabis on trips to the San Francisco Bay Area, and started his own cannabis grow at home at age 18. A few years later, Connella would become the first in the county to apply to open a storefront medical dispensary in

Templeton. County supervisors denied the project in 2008 and have yet to approve the establishment of a dispensary. But California (and SLO County) voters’ recent approval of Proposition 64 gives Connella hope that a shift can take hold in SLO. “You have third and fourth generation wine growers, they’re respected,” Connella said. “I always wanted to do it with the blessing of the county. Finally, we’re getting the chance now to come into the light here. We still have a ways to go.” A red binder filled with hundreds of pages of completed paperwork sits on his dining room table: It’s his application for a minoruse permit, a required step to becoming a licensed, legal farm. Gazing outside at the cannabis plants, Kordich summed up the stakes for her family as they await the necessary approvals from SLO County. “This is our future right here,” Kordich said. Looking down at her daughter, she added, “This is her future.” While many saw the legalization of cannabis in California as inevitable, the clunky reality of its implementation county-by-county was perhaps less foreseeable. Local ordinances have created a checkered map of sorts, with some regions allowing a cannabis economy and others deliberately turning it away. In SLO County, the doors are slowly creeping open. While cultivation is restricted and highly regulated, and retail sales are mostly confined to deliveries, local industry members are mobilizing and positioning themselves to not only get their foot in the door as licensed operations, but to grow their businesses. Costly barriers to entry and a regulatory landscape that continues to change are challenging entrepreneurs as they find their footing in a brand new industry.
Putting down roots
If Connella and Kordich represent the shrouded-from-view type of cannabis grower, Charlie Doster assumes the opposite label. Doster, 60, runs SLO Cloning, a cannabis nursery, right out of his garage in residential Los Osos. Doster will need to change his setup to comply with new county regulations, so he’s looking for a nursery space on the coast to move the business. “We need to stay in the coastal zone because of the humidity and the cool temperatures,” Doster said. “Clones are very sensitive to what’s called desiccation. They’ll dry out. When you cut a clone, it doesn’t have a root system so it can die almost immediately if the humidity is too low. We need to stay where the temperatures are cool and moist so we don’t run into these problems.” The cannabis supply chain begins in a nursery. Doster said he has 5,000 unique cannabis strains, which he gets delivered to him from cloners in San Francisco. He nurtures them in his garage, and they sell for about $10 apiece. He deals with local growers, as well as growers throughout the Central Coast and Central Valley seeking his varietals and care. Doster

If they don’t, “new cultivators may apply for unallocated permits of the 141,” said Rob Fitzroy, the deputy director of SLO County Planning and Building. That’s a tight timeline to secure new land, prepare infrastructure, and submit a permit application attached with thousands of dollars in fees, Doster said. As of press time, 18 cannabis land-use applications were filed with the county. Nearly all of them involved cultivation operations. “It might sound like there’s enough time. In reality, it’s not,” Doster said. “I’d say the average investment is $100,000. ... The industry is expected to legalize and normalize, but it’s not realistically possible with the timeframes. Some people are going to make it, but very, very few.” Larger businesses with more resources may be in the best position to succeed, according to Doster and others. A 250,000-square-foot greenhouse nursery and flowering operation in Nipomo is one of the 18 businesses with submitted applications. Located at the former Clearwater Nursery site on Mesa Road, cannabis replaced cut flowers in 2016 when that business went under. CFAM Management Group runs the facility, an arm of a major California cannabis brand, Cookie Farm. CFAM’s greenhouses stretch for hundreds of yards in every direction. Thousands of cannabis plants in every stage of growth are potted in neat and tidy rows. Workers methodically trim the “mother” plants, readying them to be replanted as new clones. A grow manager held a notebook as he walked from row to row, inspecting the mature plants and jotting down notes. A Colorado native, he said he’s tasked with maximizing the production of the “flowering” area, which was reduced by 90 percent to 22,000 square feet after the county ordinance passed. CFAM consultant Sean Donahoe told New Times the nursery was forced to lay off 52 employees after the county scaled back the growing area. The nursery’s maintenance manager, Alejandro, has been an employee at Clearwater for 20 years. He said the transition from cut flowers to cannabis is pretty mundane and straightforward. Cannabis is just more lucrative. “It’s the same really,” he said.
also has customers who grow for personal use. Clients with illnesses like cancer are offered free or discounted clones to grow their own medicine. “We have medical strains in stock at all times,” Doster said. “Even with a degree in horticulture, it’s taken me years to really understand how to do this and do it right. … Anyone can grow cannabis. You can throw a seed out into the asphalt of your driveway, it’s going to sprout, and you’ll have a little marijuana plant. But growing medical-grade cannabis— high-grade, sellable, top-end cannabis— sometimes people get lucky, but usually it’s an experienced grower who knows what he [or she’s] doing.” As the bottom-floor building block of the industry, clone businesses are dependent on a healthy market above them. And that’s one reason why Doster is worried about SLO County. In the county’s ordinance, cultivation land-use permits are limited to a list of 141 growers who registered their sites in 2016 when the county passed emergency regulations to curb cannabis grows in the California Harvest, process, Valley. The ordinance also bans all and extract outdoor personal cultivation (of up to six plants) and storefront dispensaries in Cannabis naturally flowers in the fall. unincorporated communities, like Los Too much sunlight on a mature plant inhibits its flowering hormone. In late Osos, Templeton, and Nipomo. Doster August, when the days get shorter, those thinks those restrictions will inhibit hormones let loose and buds form. many current cannabis cultivators from Cultivators manage to get multiple being able to continue, and, in turn, harvests per year out of the plants by jeopardize his business. “We supply clones to growers. If there are no growers, we don’t have a business,” he said. Doster and Connella both hold a “golden ticket” in SLO County, as industry members sometimes call them. They’re two of the 141 growers. Connella is even luckier. He’s one of about 30 who doesn’t have to relocate his farm. Everyone else on the list has until the LICENSED Tami Peluso (left) and Cynthia Gonzalez (right) are end of 2018 to find co-founders of Elite Care, an Arroyo Grande-based cannabis delivery property and apply service and the first state-licensed cannabis business in SLO County. for a county permit.

using artificial light and tarps to mimic the natural seasons. “We use artificial lighting to keep the plant in a vegetative state when the daylight hours aren’t long enough,” Connella said, “and we cover them with the tarp so they think it’s nighttime [to induce flowering]. We keep them on that cycle.” After the plant flowers, it’s time to harvest it. The harvested plant goes to a processing facility for trimming and drying, and, after testing, the buds can then be distributed and sold. But cannabis can also go through a manufacturing process to extract its oil, which can be vaporized, injected into edibles or tinctures, or added to other products like topicals. Manufacturing is Jason Kallen’s niche. The local cannabis entrepreneur and director of the SLO chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) rents a warehouse space off Tank Farm Road, where he runs a cannabis manufacturing operation that resembles a science lab. Front and center is a closed-loop carbon-dioxide (CO2) extractor, about a 4-foot-long machine that Kallen said costs $120,000. Swapping butane with CO2 would’ve made the equipment 90 percent cheaper, he said, but the county banned manufacturing with volatile (flammable) substances. Kallen packs a narrow cylindrical canister full of cannabis flower and flips on the CO2 machine to start the extraction process. “The gas comes from the tank and pressurizes [the cannabis] in the vessel at up to 3,000 pounds per square inch (PSI) or a little higher,” Kallen explained in a simulated walkthrough. “At a certain pressure and temperature, CO2 becomes what we call ‘supercritical,’ which is not a liquid and not a gas, it’s an in-between state. It acts as a solvent when it’s supercritical.” The oil extracted from the flower mixes with the CO2, moving into another chamber. There, the PSI drops to 300, which turns the CO2 back into a gas, Kallen said. “The gas can no longer hold the oil, so then the oil falls down into the bottom canister,” he said. The machine runs for hours before all the oil is extracted. When it’s complete, the oil is dissolved in ethanol (at a 10:1
ethanol to oil ratio), and then put in a freezer that’s set at minus 40 Celius. The solution gets filtered three to five times to remove fats and lipids, and, finally, it’s put through a rotary evaporator to remove the ethanol from the oil. If the oil comes out clear-colored, it’s ready to go. Kallen sells the oil in bulk and in small cartridges that are designed to attach to a vaporizer pen. He mostly does business in the Los Angeles market right now, but he wants to upgrade his extraction equipment to become a leading manufacturer in SLO County, as well as establish his own cannabis grow in Templeton. “When we upgrade, we’re going to go to a [CO2] unit that’s 12-feet-long and $600,000,” Kallen said. “We’ll be able to do 125 pounds per day.” Not everyone producing cannabis oil has the means to scale up their businesses to such an extent. Deborah Caldwell, an Atascadero-area resident, crafts popular cannabis-infused medicinal lotions out of her house using home-grown plants. She’s distributed small batches of “Topicanna Sungrown” to Bay Area dispensaries for a few years. With the new county ordinance and a more competitive market, Caldwell knows it’ll be impossible to continue making her medicine in the same way. “I need to find investors moving forward because the game is out of my league at this point,” Caldwell said. “I really can’t do this on my own. The game’s too big now.”
Reaching consumers
Tami Peluso and Cynthia Gonzalez are examples of early survivors of the cannabis game. Co-owners of the Arroyo Grande-based delivery service Elite Care, they became the first industry members in SLO County to obtain both local and state licenses on Jan. 1, 2018. Former employees of Fortune 500 companies in San Francisco, Peluso and Gonzalez left their day jobs and entered the cannabis industry four years ago. They said they discovered a major need for trustworthy medical cannabis providers after struggling to find medicine for Peluso’s mother when she fell ill with cancer in 2009. Since then, Peluso and Gonzalez not only became cannabis entrepreneurs, launching a successful San Francisco medical delivery and consultant service, but policy advocates at the state level during the Legislature’s development of post-Proposition 64 cannabis laws. “About a year and half ago, deliveries were taken out of the regulatory structure. The big bats that own the dispensaries wanted deliveries to only be a component of a brick-and-mortar,” Gonzalez said. “When they made that move, we said, ‘We’re not going to let this happen.’ We had to go into activist and lobbyist mode. About 10 of us got deliveries back on the map in California.” Elite Care’s most important service to the community, according to the owners, is educating patients about cannabis products through individualized consultations. “We do a lot of education,” Peluso said. “When people call us and say I want a certain product, we ask them, ‘Well, what are you trying to do?’ We ask questions.” Moving into the Central Coast, Peluso and Gonzalez entered a crowded cannabis delivery market with literally hundreds of services. Despite being the only licensed delivery, they don’t feel like they’re squeezing out their local competitors. More delivery companies will likely obtain licenses as local governments start allowing them to operate openly. “It didn’t change the environment,”
While dispensaries are banned in unincorporated SLO County, some industry members expressed optimism for a “farm-to-table” business model that would involve cultivators growing, processing, and manufacturing cannabis on the same land, and then delivering to customers. That’s been proposed in a number of the land-use applications submitted to the county to date, from rural Arroyo Grande to Paso Robles. “Canna-tourism” also holds promise, as the Central Coast is already a worldrenowned wine destination. “It’s been very big in Colorado,” Doster of SLO Cloning said. “A lot of people have traveled internationally and domestically to legally consume.”
Staying united
EXTRACTING CANNABIS OIL Cannabis entrepreneur Jason Kallen stands next to his carbon-dioxide extractor machine at a warehouse off Tank Farm Road.
Gonzalez said. “And it wasn’t designed to. We came here to open up the market. We came here to lift the bans.” As other delivery services come out of the dark, they’ll face some of the same regulatory requirements as Elite Care did, such as installing extensive security measures at their closed-door dispensary location. “If you talk to the security companies, it’s a more robust system than they put in any Citibank, Wells Fargo, Chase Bank anywhere across the nation,” Gonzalez said. Right now, Elite Care’s cannabis products are sourced from outside the county. As a state licensed company, it can only legally do business with other state licensed businesses, and SLO County has only eight licensed cannabis cultivations (for comparison, Monterey County has 332, and Santa Barbara County has 784). That will also be true for the Natural Healing Center, which will be the county’s first brick-and-mortar medical dispensary, opening next month in Grover Beach. Dispensary owner David Separzadeh said that, in time, he hopes to stock his shelves with some locally grown cannabis products. “We need to carry the major brands. But the local brands are also important,” Separzadeh said. “We’d like to take those local brands and explode them into the market.” Adult-use brick-and-mortar cannabis dispensaries are also on the horizon. The Grover Beach and SLO City Councils have expressed interest in allowing adultuse stores, with SLO set to vote on a new cannabis ordinance on May 1.
Being brought out of the shadows and into a strict regulatory structure has created some dysfunction and infighting within the local cannabis community, industry members admit. The “green rush” in the California Valley in 2015 and 2016 resulted in intense community backlash, county ordinances and, ultimately, the restricted list of 141 growing permits. The CFAM greenhouses in Nipomo irked some as a “big business” intrusion on the local scene. Early trade groups like the SLO County Cannabis Business Association didn’t bring about the kind of cohesion many hoped for. Peluso and Gonzalez with Elite Care noticed the divisions right away when they came to the area and attended meetings. And as two women in a male-dominated industry, they noticed that vibe, too. “They’re divided amongst themselves,” Peluso said. “I’m sitting there and listening to what’s going on and not once did they ask me, ‘What do you think?’ ... We’re two women, what do we know?” In March, locals announced the formation a new trade association, the Central Coast Cannabis Council (C4). Connella, the grower in Suey Creek and a C4 member, sees it as an opportunity to reset. He said aspiring industry members will have to work together if the legal cannabis market in SLO County is going to move forward successfully. “It’s a fresh start, and hopefully we learn from our own mistakes,” Connella said. “I think [the conflict] is a product of the black market. It’s a ‘my turf’ type of mentality. But that’s not what has gotten cannabis to where it is today. We’ve gotten to this legal market by banding together and educating the community and the Legislature on the benefits of weed and how harmless it is. Those things are accomplished through teamwork, not competition.” ∆ Staff Writer Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

BY KAREN GARCIA PHOTO COURTESY OF ANGLE OAR
Outdoor accessible M eg McCall’s dad, Jim Van Gompel, has always been an outdoorsman. He does however have diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and an amputated leg. But at 87 years old, that hasn’t stopped him from enjoying his love of nature. Several years ago, Gompel took up kayaking, but McCall said her father was finding it difficult to paddle. He would become easily winded due to his asthma and heart condition. “My father had a career in mechanical engineering and he never saw a product he couldn’t improve on,” she said. McCall was visiting Gompel around that time and he showed her a new kind of supportive paddle that he made for himself—he called it angle oar. It was his way of figuring out a more efficient way of paddling for himself. With her father’s background and McCall’s experience in marketing, the two teamed up in 2012 to bring that special paddle to the public. Together the team fine-tuned the design, patented it, tested it, and began to manufacture. McCall now heads the company, Angle Oar, that specializes in making oars not only for those who experience back or shoulder issues but also for the aging community that may not have the strength to kayak. “You don’t really think about it until you’re in the ocean, but paddling puts a lot of pressure on your shoulders, joints, and torso,” McCall said.
About 28 percent of the U.S. population is between the ages of 50 and 74. “This is a group that increasingly wants to stay active and independent as long as possible, but sometimes an injury and arthritis prompts them to give up a sport they’ve loved all their lives,” she said. Angle Oar fills the gap for those who want to continue kayaking. It offers the versatile kayak paddle, or Versa for short. It’s a paddle that sits on mounts supporting the weight of the paddle, reducing joint stress and creating a smaller range of motions. The company now offers its newest product: the Gamut, a mounted paddle holder that has all the same benefits as the Versa but you can use your own paddle. What makes this paddle holder unique is that if you wanted to let go of your paddle to fish or take a break and enjoy the view, your paddle won’t fall into the water. It eliminates the purchase of a paddle leash or pedal kayaks. The Gamut is also an affordable alternative for people who don’t want to shell out the big bucks for an expensive specialty kayak. The Gamut is $170 online or at participating kayak retailers and rental shops. McCall said that she’s excited to see a growing interest in adaptive paddling

because it’s really for everyone. She noted that the company’s customer base isn’t limited to the Central Coast or the state. “Our customer market is the entire U.S. We’re an online retailer so we have distributors across the country,” she said. Most of their sales come from Texas, Florida, and the East Coast. McCall said she recently spoke to a man from Florida who runs a statewide outdoors program.

Trigger warning Armstrong ignores evidence of harm to the queer community and denies minority experiences
T
wo years ago, before his first visit to Cal Poly, I wrote the university’s president to express my disgust at Cal Poly hosting Milo Yiannopoulos. In it, I described the emotional turbulence of my youth as I was subjected to conversion therapy, physical and mental torture aimed at altering one’s behaviors and sexual orientation in a downtown San Luis Obispo therapist’s office. My experiences highlighted that Milo’s visit would provide false logic, which students may use to deny the experiences of their peers in favor of a more comfortable bias peddled by a non-expert in the same way. Much of the hateful and wrong information I see Milo spreading about the queer community was also used years before by my counselor to justify the need for conversion therapy. In the president’s response, he ignored my entire argument regarding the possible harm of Milo’s visit and suggested: “Censoring viewpoints that we don’t agree with violates free speech and does not represent what we stand for as a university. Rather, free speech and the open exchange of ideas and opinions— even those that conflict with our own— is an important part of student growth and preparation for success in today’s global marketplace.” To this day, I struggle to understand

how any person could suggest my experiences in conversion therapy were “an important part of [my] student growth and preparation for success in today’s global marketplace.” Torture, while formative, is not beneficial. I tried a new approach in my letter this year. Research. A recent peerreviewed journal article finds that one of Milo Yiannopoulos’ favored topics, the denying of transgender identities, actually leads to increased suicides within the transgender community (“Chosen name use is linked to reduced depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behavior among transgender youth,” Journal of Adolescent Health). In the eyes of President Armstrong, my experiences were not a valid counterpoint
I also hope he starts to listen to the experiences of the black community and people of color on campus as well. Not because of their “opinions on the matter” and not because they have a “different view,” because they live a different experience. An inability to discern opinion from experience is perhaps President Armstrong’s greatest failing. He cannot comprehend that it is not my opinion that Milo’s rhetoric causes damage, it caused me damage and now I have peer-reviewed support. If President Armstrong allows Milo on campus again, I do believe there is enough social and scientific evidence to indicate harm will befall the queer community, and he still needs to answer for the damage caused a year ago. Unfortunately, the constant inaction taken by the president regarding blatant and widespread racism on campus indicates that his opinions and uninformed views are a great deal more important to his decision-making process than the actual experiences of (to use his words) “the most important person on

campus,” the students. As a final thought, I would like to point out that, while I may be highly educated and invested in social justice, I am racist. I am white, born and raised in San Luis Obispo, and I attended Cal
Poly. It would be impossible for me to leave those situations without racist circuitry in my brain. Any white person on campus who says they are devoid of all racist thoughts is lying because your brain cannot help it. While at Cal Poly, I childishly convinced myself that I was above such thinking, but neuroscience has shown just how unavoidable this social conditioning is. Unfortunately, the president’s continued reticence to engage in the critical thinking and research required to understand and fix these social issues show exactly what actions and ideas he thinks are the most dangerous. His inaction has consistently provided an excuse to white Cal Poly students to remain racially biased and ignore the social injustice right in front of their faces. There is a reckoning in higher education. It is happening at my current institution, Michigan State University, where the university administration is answering for its willingness to remain ignorant and ignore research with its resignations. The cultural change here at MSU is underway with power dynamics shifting drastically. If President Armstrong does not change his tune, perhaps it is time that Cal Poly does without him. ∆ Daniel Pfau received a master’s degree in biological sciences from Cal Poly.

Opinion Criminals, not guns, commit crimes I respectfully disagree with the recent commentary in New Times by Pat Veesart (“A modest proposal,” March 29). The purpose of the U.S. Constitution is to limit the power of government and to protect the individual rights of all Americans. The purpose of the Second Amendment is not to deter crime but to deter an oppressive government. The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states: “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” That right was given to the people by the Founding Fathers to protect the people from government oppression. The Founding Fathers were well aware of the dangers of an all-powerful government. The individual right to keep and bear arms was further confirmed in the Supreme Court ruling in the District of Columbia v. Heller. Crimes are not committed by guns, crimes are committed by criminals. Criminals by definition will always have guns because they defy the law. Only law-abiding citizens obey the law, thus gun-control laws only affect those who obey the law. Just governments protect the right to bear arms, oppressive governments prohibit the right to bear arms. The penalty for the crime of murder is death or life in prison. If the death penalty or life in prison is insufficient to deter one from committing the crime of murder, how could any other law do more? Please give that some thought. John Texeira Paso Robles
Shutting the door you walked through After mischaracterizing and misrepresenting Audrey McClish’s opinion piece, Gary Wechter goes on to offer little besides non sequiturs and name-calling in defense of Trump’s thuggish and un-American “America first” rhetoric (“I’m unconvinced that ‘America first’ is for losers,” April 12). Ms. McClish did not “champion no control whatsoever” over immigration. She explicitly said, it “is not feasible to completely open our borders.” Mr. Wechter lectures young Ms. McClish on the alleged “serious shortcomings in her knowledge of our founding principles and our Constitution,” leaving us to guess which “founding principles” or Constitutional provisions support his position. Certainly, it’s not the famous inscription on the Statue of Liberty. The old signs saying, “No Irish Need Apply” are not part of our founding principles or our Constitution. Nor is the idea that might makes right. Mr. Wechter attempts to mask his apparent hostility to (mostly dark-skinned) illegal immigrants by pointing out that he himself, and most of his friends, are first- or secondgeneration immigrants, too. So he does “appreciate the contributions made by legal immigrants,” and resents being “demonized” for supporting the policy of a president who has shut the doorway he walked through. “Pull up the gangplank, I’m aboard.” Dave Raleigh San Luis Obispo

I’m glad they held a town hall, but that’s enough.
It’s hard to remember a more bitter and caustic election season than this one. Leave it to the “Progressives,” Adam Hill, and some Trilogy NIMBYs on the Nipomo Mesa to heap their constant nasty vitriol on 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton in their efforts at character assassination. A case in point is the recent letter to the SLO Tribune written by Laurance Shinderman who has made it his mission to distort Compton’s stellar record. Shinderman is living proof that with every project completed by developers, they import the opponents of their next one. He first appeared in the battle against Phillips 66’s rail spur when he forcefully advocated denial of that project. And who voted against it? Supervisor Lynn Compton. While Shinderman won’t be happy with any of the many things she has done to benefit her district, Lynn Compton has run a dignified campaign. That she refuses to jump into the pigsty and sling mud like he does is to her great credit. With all the noise out there, it’s time for voters to do the right thing and shun the falsehoods of the character assassins like Laurance Shinderman. Tom Dawson San Luis Obispo
Stop sanctuary status in SLO County
My father was first-generation Italian, and my mother was born in Italy. Abandoned by her mother, she lived in poverty while her father earned money to bring her to America. My parents loved this country and were thankful every single day to be here and came in through Ellis Island legally. What I see today is that the open border insanity welcomes those that hate America and want to destroy what we all have built with a Constitution avoiding dictatorship rule. When you come here under the Progressive Party’s banner of open borders you are moving us back to living under dictatorship rule. Immigrants in the past built up America while immigrants coming in without permission are destroying and

Let’s raise the level of political discourse
I was listening to the Dave Conglaton show on KVEC. He discussed the SLO County 4th District supervisorial race between incumbent Lynn Compton and challenger Jimmy Paulding. Dave said that a proposed forum featuring these two has been postponed because of scheduling conf licts by the organizers. Dave stated that Lynn chose not to attend the forum and that Jimmy accused her of backing out. Several of Jimmy’s supporters went on Lynn’s Facebook page and made similar

accusations against her. One particularly nasty supporter called her a coward and troll. This is an excellent example of cyber-bullying, which I thought Progressives opposed. Many campaigns take opportunities to smear opponents with ugly, personal insults instead of debating issues. This does much to discourage people from getting involved in government. A caller accused Supervisor Compton of being a corportist, a good example of false reasoning called argumentum ad hominem, arguing to the person. Correct reasoning involves arguing issues. If I were to state that Jimmy, supervisors Gibson and Hill were communist, socialist, or fascist, their supporters would object. Let us all raise the level of discourse in all discussions. Gary L.

Opinion
Rhetoric&Reason
BY KATIE FERRARI
It’s up to us T he agencies tasked with protecting our drinking water have failed us, and it’s time for us to step up as concerned citizens. The Arroyo Grande aquifer, which lies beneath the Arroyo Grande oilfield, is at risk. It’s a current and future source of drinking water that is protected under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), but the state and federal agencies responsible for ensuring that protection have failed to do so. Today, the aquifer is being simultaneously polluted and depleted by the oil field. The EPA defines an aquifer as “an underground body of rock that contains or can transmit groundwater.” Here’s what’s happening to ours. The oil in Arroyo Grande is so thick that steam has to be injected into the wells to warm it until it’s thin enough to be pumped. The steam loosens the oil, but it also changes the pressure underground and releases groundwater. Only 5 percent of what the wells pull up is oil—the rest is a mixture of groundwater and condensed steam that is euphemistically called “produced water,” when “polluted water” would be a better descriptor. The 1.2 million gallons of water pumped up each day is saltier than seawater and contains benzene (a carcinogen), ethyl benzene, selenium, xylene, toluene, lead, chromium, dispersed oil, and unknown proprietary
chemicals. This is enough produced water to fill Laguna Lake to capacity every four months. About 40 percent of the water is treated in a reverse osmosis plant and released into Pismo Creek. Another 45 percent is run through a water softener and then re-injected into the ground for more steaming. The final 15 percent is a concentrated toxic waste that includes the waste products from reverse osmosis. It gets pumped into Class II wastewater injection wells in the aquifer. In early 2015, an Associated Press report revealed that California’s Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) had granted more than 2,500 illegal permits for Class II injection wells in federally protected aquifers. Class II wells can be used for steam injection, toxic wastewater disposal, or underground oil storage. The permits were illegal because they did not meet the EPA’s criteria for exemptions of protected aquifers. Twelve of the illegal wells were at the Arroyo Grande oilfield. As of this month, 11 of the wells are still operating, pumping wastewater into the aquifer. Nearly half of the illegal permits had been approved in Gov. Brown’s first term, which isn’t surprising, given that in late 2011, Brown fired the state’s top two oil and gas regulators after oil companies had complained their environmental

reviews were “blocking oil exploration in Kern County.” Less than six months later, Brown bragged that the firings had increased drilling permits by 18 percent. In late 2015, Freeport-McMoRan, then the owner of Arroyo Grande oilfield, submitted an aquifer exemption proposal to DOGGR. They wanted to expand the portion of the Arroyo Grande aquifer into which wastewater could be injected. Freeport wanted to drill another 481 wells in the oilfield, which had 260 active wells at the time. Expanding the injection areas of the aquifer was necessary because new wells would increase the amount of wastewater that had to be dealt with. Freeport-McMoRan claimed that the Arroyo Grande aquifer was not a present or future source of drinking water, and that it was geologically isolated from surrounding groundwater sources. In early 2016, DOGGR approved the proposal and forwarded it to the EPA to make a final decision. The agency did this despite the fact that there were 24 known water wells in the Edna Member, the portion of the aquifer being proposed for exemption, and 105 water wells within a mile of the oilfield. The EPA has yet to make a decision, but they have approved three similar exemptions in California under the Trump administration. If the EPA approves the Arroyo Grande aquifer exemption, SLO County will move forward in reviewing Freeport’s expansion proposal, which the current owner, Sentinel Peaks Resources, inherited. You might think that only those who
live near the oilfield are threatened by its expansion, but the Arroyo Grande fault could prove you wrong. The proposed expansion would nearly triple the amount of active wells and bring the daily produced water to almost 2 million gallons, and the reverse osmosis plant is already near capacity. Injectioninduced earthquakes have happened in neighboring Kern County and throughout Oklahoma—both of which have a preponderance of drilling and wastewater injection. An earthquake in Arroyo Grande could enable the wastewater that has already been injected to migrate and contaminate the Santa Maria basin, which provides water for the Five Cities. In the face of the failure of the EPA, Gov. Brown, and DOGGR to protect the aquifer, local citizens have stepped up. The Coalition to Protect SLO County is sponsoring a ballot initiative to ban oil well expansion, fracking, and acidizing in our county. The latter two are not happening yet but would have serious impacts on groundwater. The coalition has until May 2 to gather the 13,000 signatures required to put a measure on the ballot for November. The next time you see someone outside the grocery store with a clipboard collecting signatures, be sure to add your name. ∆ Katie Ferrari is filling in for this week’s Rhetoric and Reason.

The Shredder
Punish them all
D
ear white people who don’t think blackface is racist: Open a history book. These people include Wesley “NOBODY GIVES A SHIT” Murphy, who mansplained in a post on New Times’ Facebook page that we were forcing “people to be offended by face paint until we’ve ruined some kid’s life” by publishing a story about a member of Cal Poly’s Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity running around at a frat party with black paint on his very white face. He also called us “fucking pathetic.” Yup, that’s pretty much how I would describe Mr. Murphy’s lack of understanding about the significance of blackface. But Shredder: “Since when is racism when u paint ur face” asked Coleen “I don’t get why this is a thing” Tooley. Well, I mean, it was a statement on Facebook, not a question directed at this hot chunk of office machinery, but since you posited it, I will Shredder-splain it for all you ignoramuses out there spouting your privileged views on social media. White people, such as yourself, once used burnt cork to color their faces black for theatrical performances that represented caricatures of black people—spreading racial stereotypes of black people as a way of entertaining white people. It’s not just face paint. I know, Coleen: “People need to get the facts straight. What I’ve read [sic]
life organizations on suspension after hearing about another incident of “racial profiling and cultural appropriation that occurred at Sigma Nu six weeks ago.” Our fratty friends dressed up as Hispanic gangsters. Geezus! What ever happened to the toga party? Luckily, the idiots on campus are keeping it classy, tearing down posters promoting inclusivity, writing the N-word on bathroom stalls, and posting racist flyers. These moms are shocked! Nope, not because of all that racism. They called Armstrong’s reaction a “radical statement” and “an over reaction regarding ONE kid in the entire Greek system.” Don’t worry angry mothers, your baby can still be a drunk racist frat boy. It just isn’t sanctioned right now. Incidents like these have been perpetuated at this mostly white school for years. While you ladies seem to be OK with your sons attending a prestigious university with that kind of reputation, people in this community are over it! Cal Poly Greek organizations have been suspended or reprimanded individually for sexual assaults, hazing, racial discrimination, and alcohol-related deaths—according to university PR guy Matt Lazier. But clearly, it has done nothing to curb poor behavior. If “one kid” misbehaves, the whole team should be held responsible. It’s the only way to get the team members to hold each other
they were doing a team building competition and he painted his face black [sic]? If u called that racism u need help. If u don’t like it don’t look at it.” It you don’t call it racist, you need help. That’s a fact. If you don’t understand that, we need a better education system. Preferably one that teaches the full breadth of U.S. history to the white guys who want to be frat boys. Maybe that should be the first class required for Cal Poly freshmen. Hans “Shut up you pussies” Mager and his buddy Murphy, the “real” newshound, agreed on the same Facebook thread that this incident “isn’t rocking the community.” You two BFFs need to drop your inside knowledge on Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong. I don’t think he realizes that the 300 students who showed up at an emergency town hall meeting on campus demanding action and all the people who protested during Cal Poly’s Open House weekend aren’t actually part of this community. He also doesn’t seem to understand—as you guys obviously do—that all the flak he’s gotten for doing nothing to address systemic racism on campus isn’t coming from this community, either. The Mager-Murphy duo could team up with all the Poly Mommies out there who are really offended that their sons can’t go to that frat party next week because Armstrong put all the Greek
accountable. But it wasn’t one kid, and it wasn’t one time. It’s systemic, covering multiple generations of students, and Cal Poly is just now recognizing it as such. It only took multiple incidents over years and years for the university to say, “Enough!” Which is more than I can say for Peoples’ Self-Help Housing partnership with Planned Parenthood. It only took two months and “hostile” comments from anti-abortion activists for the affordable housing organization to call it quits on their Dignity Health-funded mission to provide accessible reproductive health care to North SLO County residents who needed it. “It’s disappointing that anti-Planned Parenthood activists were able to interfere with this critical expansion of care in Paso Robles,” Jenna Tosh, CEO of Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, said in a statement. Peoples’ SelfHelp Executive Director John Fowler told New Times that it “reassessed the assets in the area” and felt the existing health programs were just fine. I guess what you’re really saying is the 32 low income or uninsured patients that Planned Parenthood served in the two days a week it was open in your Canyon Creek Apartments health center didn’t really need that cervical or breast cancer screening. Welcome to SLO County folks: where you’ll find plenty of people willing to defend racist frat-bros, but when it comes to impoverished women who need heath care to keep them alive—crickets. ∆ The Shredder thinks crickets are best when dipped in yogurt.

Cowboy up!
Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents bring real live cowboy Cody Johnson to the Madonna Expo Center on Friday, April 20 (6 p.m.; $25 presale at ticketfly.com; $30 at the door). “I’m a God-fearin’, hard-workin’, beerdrinkin’, fightin’, lovin’ cowboy from Texas,” Johnson said in press materials. “That’s about it.” Well, not quite. He’s also got a smoky baritone voice and a history as a rodeo bull rider. “That’s a very, very rough sport to be in,” Johnson added. “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. I’m kind of an adrenaline junkie.” Now Johnson gets his kicks singing his hits such as “The Only One I Know (Cowboy Life),” “With You I Am,” and “I Can’t Even Walk.” Mike and the Moonpies will open the show, playing music from their new album Steak Night At The Prairie Rose. Other Good Medicine shows include Americana act Mipso at The Siren on Wednesday, April 25 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $12.50 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com, or $15 at the door). Sera Cahoone opens.

and $66 presale at eventbrite.com and Boo Boo’s, or $30 and $70 at the door). Sutherland also ran a successful cattle ranch for a decade and was a competitive cowboy in the USTRC team roping circuit. He won numerous roping events around the country. His debut album, Down In A Hole, was released in 2015. “It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a journal or diary,” he said in press materials. “All of these songs are pulled from my own personal experiences. There’s something very satisfying about being able to look back on my own life, good times and bad, and express those sentiments in music. As much as I’ve enjoyed the writing and recording process, I’m experiencing great joy now being able to play these songs to a live audience, which was something I hadn’t counted on.” Also at the Fremont, check out irresistible pop band The Drums with opening act PHOTO COURTESY OF KIEFER SUTHERLAND

Sweeties returns!
Last week I checked out Sweet Springs Saloon, and I’m happy to report it’s no longer a scary shithole! It’s had a thorough cleaning, the bathrooms have been completely remodeled, and they even have some upscale cocktails like mojitos for only $7! Eventually, they plan to reopen the kitchen and provide tasty pub food, which means it’ll be open to families. For now, however, it’s still 21-and-older.
Free music is also coming back with mostly local acts but some touring bands. This week, for instance, Rolling Stones tribute band Vu Doo Lounge plays on Friday, April 20 (9 p.m.). On Saturday, April 21, check out Bay Area rockers Kingsborough (10 p.m.). These guys won Best Song in the 2012 Battle of the Bands at San Fran’s Hard Rock Cafe. On Sunday, April 22, join in for open mic night hosted by Rachel Santa Cruz (8 p.m.). Go Sweeties!

It’s an empowering reimagining of African roots but also—remember—a fantasy. Ultimately, this is a super hero flick that refuses to stay in the genre’s rut and that’s interested in exploring complicated political and cultural ideas.

voicing a character named Mute Poodle, meaning she has no lines. Greta Gerwig is terrific as earnest and idealistic exchange student Tracy Walker. While the dogs all speak English, all the Japanese characters speak in Japanese, so we have Frances McDormand starring as Interpreter Nelson. You’ll also hear the familiar voices of Harvey Keitel and F. Murray Abraham. Tilda Swinton is great as Oracle, a Pug who watches TV and repeats what she sees, leading the dogs around her to think she’s a prognosticating mystic. Even though the story centers on Atari and his search for Spots, this is really Chief’s story. He’s the character with the biggest arc, the one who has to learn about the sacred relationship between man and dog, who also has to learn he’s good enough to deserve a mate like Nutmeg. The dogs are actually a lot more complex than most of the human characters, and it’s Chief we’re rooting for more than Atari. The models, sets, and animation are so compelling that I felt fully immersed in the world Anderson and his team of filmmakers created. I know Anderson’s sensibilities don’t appeal to everyone. His droll humor doesn’t resonate for some, but if you’ve liked his previous films, you’ll find Isle of Dogs a worthy entry into Anderson’s oeuvre. Anna I know his style isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I find Anderson’s quirky take on stories to be both amusing and charming. Pair that charm with my somewhat obsessive love for dogs and this film has a hard time losing in my book. Cranston is great as Chief, the growly, grumpy tough guy with a secret desire to be one of the gang instead of the outsider stray. I also really enjoyed Goldblum as Duke, who constantly asks “Have you heard the rumor?” and then divulges whatever murmurs he has overheard about any and all subjects. As you said, the humans take a back seat in this story, but that doesn’t mean they don’t also shine. It’s woven in a way that is just plain good storytelling and delivers everything a good story needs— heroes to root for, villains to hate, and a visually interesting way of presenting it. You most likely know already whether Anderson’s films fit your fancy, and if they do, I’m guessing you’ll be happy to add Isle of Dogs to your collection. For me, it’s totally worth a trip to The Palm to catch this one on the big screen. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

A drunken Ted ran his car off a bridge and left his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, to die.

the bumbling power struggle created by the power vacuum following a murderous despot’s death—small-minded, venal men stepping all over each other in their quest to gain control. Sounds hilarious, right? Right? Though I find it an imperfect analogy, one can certainly compare the depicted Stalin’s administration with Trump’s, and it’s absolutely an indictment of Russian governmental corruption, so yes, it’s a savage satire but not necessarily a funny one. As you might expect from such as talented cast, the performances all around are solid, with Buscemi and Tambor standing out. Because of how some of the characters are written, a few performances border on cartoonish, such as Jason Isaacs as Field Marshal Zhukov and Stalin’s kids Svetlana (Andrea Risenborough) and Vasily (Rupert Friend), who are rather cliché. Living at the whim of a violent dictator seems less than fun, so while I appreciated the film’s biting satire, I also found its world more than a bit depressing.

Bay Writer-director Paolo Virzì (The First Beautiful Thing, Human Capital, Like Crazy) directs Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland as an elderly couple who unbeknownst to their family take off on a misguided final adventure in their trusty old RV they call The Leisure Seeker. Based on Michael Zadoorian’s novel, the story centers on John Spencer, a former literature teacher with Alzheimer’s, and his devoted wife, Ella. Two great actors, revered source material, and a director known for deftly crafted human stories—what could go wrong? In The Leisure Seeker, surprisingly a lot. Like a lot of effective novels, Zadoorian’s story doesn’t translate with the same nuance and depth to the big screen. John and Ella are a little too cookie cutter. He’s in turns charming and erudite, albeit overly didactic and a little boring; she’s exasperated one minute and desperately in love with John the next. He wakes up and thinks it’s a different decade—that he’s a young professor off to teach, or he’s paranoid about some long lost boyfriend from Ella’s youth. She’s a doting wife one second and ready to leave him on the side of the road the next. All these pivots are too much even for Mirren and Sutherland to manage without an element of broad cartoonishness. To its credit, the film has a couple beefy third act twists that can’t be discussed without revealing too much of the plot, but suffice it to say, they bring a big bump in John and Ella’s long relationship before finding a way to resolve the story that feels both inevitable and surprising ... if you haven’t read the novel.

J
ails are front and center in our local news right now, so when I was perusing Netflix for a film to review in New Times this week, the 2015 independent flick Stanford Prison Experiment immediately piqued my interest. Of course, anyone who’s taken an introductory psychology class has heard of this notorious real-life study gone awry, where psychologist Phillip Zimbardo built a simulated jail in the basement of the Stanford psych department in 1971 and had participants play inmates and jail guards for two weeks. Zimbardo’s idea was to observe how their behavior changed when sorted into these respective roles and immersed in a prison environment. He decided to take extra steps to dehumanize the inmates, asking the guards to strip them into gowns and provide them four-digit numbers for their identities. He gave the guards supreme authority and simple instructions: keep order in the jail without resorting to

corporal punishment. The experiment didn’t last two weeks. It didn’t even last a week. The participants—and Zimbardo himself— became completely wrapped up in the simulation and allowed the prison to spin out of control in disturbing ways. Stanford Prison Experiment director Kyle Patrick Alvarez brings this chilling story to life in fastidious detail. While I remember learning the basics of the experiment in school, the film dramatizes the whole tale from start to finish, seemingly leaving no stone unturned. And it is the nuances that make this retelling so good. Details like Zimbardo’s partnership with a former San Quentin prison inmate to help make the environment more realistic, and a scene where a passerby Stanford professor bumps into Zimbardo and subtlety questions the science and methods of the experiment, add great texture to the mostly heart-thumping action. The movie is boosted by stellar performances from Billy Crudup as the possessed and obsessed, highly egotistical Zimbardo; Ezra Miller as Daniel Culp, one of the lead prisoner protagonists; and Michael Angarano as Christopher Archer, the most brutal and psychologically abusive of the prison guards. It’s unbelievable how dark and out of control this fake prison got—but that’s the point. I think the underlying takeaway from Alvarez’s delivery of this story was not only did the prison guards lose sight of themselves and abuse their power, but so did Zimbardo. It took a demand from his girlfriend Dr. Leah (Katherine Langford), Nick (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.), and Abby (Alexandra Shipp); parents Emily (Jennifer Garner) and Jack (Josh Duhamel); and sister Nora (Talitha Bateman). He’s just a regular guy with a big secret who likes to gaze out his window at the hunky gardener next door and dream of being accepted for who he is.

Arts MOVIES from page 41 another gay young man named “Blue.” Simon takes on his own pseudonym, “Jacques,” and the two get to know each other, though neither knows the other’s true identity. Throughout the story, Simon wonders which of his classmates it is: Bram (Keiynan Lonsdale), the soccer player; Cal (Miles Heizer), the brooding loner; or Lyle (Joey Pollari), the hunky wallflower. The story’s antagonist is star thespian and royal douche bag Martin (Logan Miller), who by accident is able to screenshot some of Simon and Blue’s emails and thus extort Simon into setting Martin up with Simon’s gorgeous friend Abby, who naturally Simon’s other friend Nick is already in love with. Like John Hughes films such as Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, 16 Candles, and The Breakfast Club, Love, Simon gets right to the heart of what it means to be an awkward adolescent trying to find your place in the world. The screenplay by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, which is based on the YA novel Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, delivers a big-hearted story that celebrates a changing culture that’s trying to shake off its homophobic history. It’s definitely worth a trip to the theater. (109 min.) —Glen Starkey

Regan (Millicent Simmonds)—who must live in utter silence to protect themselves from deadly creatures that hunt by sound. While the synopsis may sound like standard-issue sci-fi horror, A Quiet Place is instead throat-clenchingly tense and a thoroughly thoughtful meditation on parenthood, family, and guilt. The film isn’t concerned with where the creatures come from or how they got there. Yes, we see a few newspaper front pages—with headlines suggesting it’s a worldwide phenomenon—that are pinned up in Lee’s workshop, where he tirelessly toils trying to improve his daughter Regan’s hearing aid. A scrawled-on white board asks, “Weaknesses,” but the creatures appear to be indestructible—they’re all gill-like earflaps and sharp teeth on longlimbed grasshopper-like bodies that can tear a human to pieces. Because the creatures are blind and don’t appear to have a sense of smell, the film ups the terror level since the creatures can be in the very same room but not know someone’s there ... provided the person stay absolutely silent. The few remaining pockets of civilization are in total survival mode, and every night, Lee climbs to the top of an ominous grain silo on their secluded farm and lights a signal fire, waiting as a handful of others light up in the distance. Lee also tinkers with his ham radio, trying to find if anywhere is safe, but to no avail. The family’s day-to-day existence is silently picking crops and doing chores, giving the kids reading and math lessons, preparing a soundproof box with an oxygen supply to deafen the cries of their impending baby, and occasionally venturing to a nearby town to scavenge through abandoned stores; and to a river to collect fish they’ve caught in baskets. All they have is each other, and Lee and Evelyn’s primary and immediate goal is to keep their children safe. The film is nearly silent, with almost all dialogue mouthed
and accompanied by American Sign Language. It’s a fresh and remarkable take on the horror genre, with scenes that will have you white-knuckling your arms rests or silently crying to yourself in empathy for the family’s plight. It’s just brilliant! If you’ve read anything about the film, you’ve no doubt learned that Blunt, who’s married to Krasinski, suggested a friend of hers for the role of Evelyn, but after reading the script, she asked her husband to give her the role instead. Well, Blunt is simply incredible as Evelyn. She owns the character, and her birth scene will go down in the history of horror as one of the most gripping sequences ever set to film (well, probably video, but you know what I’m saying). It’s also worth mentioning that deaf Regan is played by a deaf actress, and Krasinski said she was important to give the role authenticity as well as helping the other actors learn sign language. Most recent horror movies have bored me due to a lack of scares, flat characters, or hackneyed writing and direction. A Quiet Place falls prey to none of that, and it offers a badass but open ending, which I found hopeful though my wife didn’t— that’s deft filmmaking in my book. (90 min.) —Glen Starkey

Downtown Centre, Sunset Drive-In, Park, Galaxy Steven Spielberg directs this futuristic part live-action, part CGI story about James Halliday (Mark Rylance), the on-the-autism-spectrum creator of a virtual reality called OASIS (Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation), who dies and challenges all users to play “Anorak’s Quest” and find his hidden “keys” that will reveal his Easter Egg, with the winner getting control over OASIS. Set in a dystopian 2044, life sucks for most people, so they spend their time in OASIS where they can live out their fantasies. Those playing the game and searching for the egg are called Gunters (egg hunters), but Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn), the power-mad CEO of Innovative Online Industries (IOI) that manufactures the equipment to access the virtual world, also wants control of the OASIS, so he’s enlisted a cadre of indentured players called Sixers (due to their six-digit identifications), to win the quest and hand over control to IOI. Our hero is Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), a teenage Gunter. Can he figure out the game and win control? Seeing as this is a Spielberg film, you already know the answer, but that doesn’t stop the ride from being a lot of fun. Teamwork and friendship is also important theme in this film. Wade and Helen have never met in real life, but they’re best friends in OASIS.

t’s Friday, April 13, and I’m visiting the Central Coast Aquarium for the very first time. My wife and I drive by the bright aqua-blue building at the far end of Avila Beach every weekend on our way to take our dogs to the beach, but until today we’ve never been inside. Director of Programs Travis Norton greets us as we walk in, explaining that it’s a little slow today so we’ll get a private tour from Aquarium Coordinator Jami Clayton. After passing through the foyer, we enter the aquarium and are introduced to Joan, a giant Pacific octopus, who’s actively exploring her 450-gallon tank. She’s magnificent! “Joan was donated by a local fisherman,” Jami says, “and we’ll keep her about a year before returning her to the ocean. They’re about as smart as a 4-year-old. Joan

The nonprofit survives off of the patronage of people like Sargen as well as annual fundraisers such as the Catch of the Central Coast, an event held every fall at the Avila Beach Golf Resort across the street. Next we visit the tanks, one of which has a sign that reads “Observation Tank Only. Please No Touching.” It’s filled with beautiful sea anemones. The tank next door, however, is for touching, and Jami pulls out a starfish, a sea cucumber, and some spiny thing that feels like it’s covered with toothpicks. Jami knows all about every single creature, but there’s so much info I can’t keep up. All I know is the sea cucumber feels weird and squishy.

Vintage Cheese Co. is all about ancient recipes, modern handiwork, and California milk “
W
e live where others vacation.” Yes, this is a somewhat annoying thing some Central Coast residents say. Of course, this isn’t so much of a humble brag these days. We all know it takes an enormous amount of ingenuity and effort to carve out a livelihood in this famed “happy place.” This truth is clear to entrepreneurs Erin and Ryan Davis, who made the leap from Visalia to the Central Coast after years of summer vacations and weekend trips to the beach. “We actually consider ourselves local to the area; I’ve had family out here since the 1930s,” Erin said, adding that a longcherished Morro Bay oceanfront home and Los Osos family farm have provided backdrops to many dreamy childhood memories (her mom still remembers when Montaña de Oro first became an official state park). “The kids had allergies and the air quality was poor, so it was really health and wellness—as well as following our dreams to live where we vacation—that brought us out,” Erin said. “We like to say we believe in ‘roots and wings.’ The Central Coast is our wings and the Central Valley—where we were born and raised—those are our roots.” The Davis family now happily resides in Los Osos, where they’ve carved out a sweet niche for themselves: crafting and selling a range of specialty, artisan cheeses. In many ways, Vintage Cheese Company has made their new life dreams come true. You could say each wheel echoes Erin’s “wings and roots” vibe pretty perfectly.
A fabulous vintage
Vintage Cheese Company is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and can be reached by emailing info@vintagecheese.com or calling (559) 897-4634. For more information, go to vintagecheese.com.
The cheeses are made in a state-of-theart facility in Traver, California. The milk is sourced from California and sold right here on the Central Coast (you can find these sharp, creamy, and blue morsels at local farmers markets, too). Making quality, handcrafted cheese from California sheep, goat, and cow’s milk isn’t an easy biz, however. A “slam dunk” career transition it is not. Any artisanal cheesemaker will tell you: This kind of work is extremely labor intensive and expensive. There’s distribution, marketing, sourcing milk, aging, and working weekly farmers markets (the kids help with those, but still). Plus, Ryan went into the cheese business without a formal cheesemaking background. So, how in the world do they manage? One part grit, one part risk, and a whole lot of boundless enthusiasm. Back in Visalia, Ryan had worked as a manager for Bravo Farms for about three years before “the big break” arrived. The well-known California Valley restaurant and one-time cheese purveyor boasts locations in Kettleman City, Traver, and Tulare. “The owner felt like he wanted to focus on being more of a chef and less of a cheesemonger, so he asked if we wanted to buy the cheese portion of the business,” Erin said, adding that Bravo

CHEESE BY THE NUMBERS Local and family operated Vintage Cheese Company sloshes through 3,500 gallons of milk to make 5,000 pounds of cheese (in 32 flavors and counting) per week. All that milk is produced by 950 cows, sheep, and goats located across California.
Farms agreed to continue to sell whatever cheese they would continue to make under their own name. “We jumped on the opportunity. We thought, ‘How could we turn this down?’ ” At that point, Ryan had apprenticed under the original cheesemonger, but was now faced with a steep learning curve. Luckily, he became quickly addicted to the creativity and intricacy of the craft. Since founding Vintage Cheese Company in 2011, the cheesemonger has grown tremendously and is now known throughout the field for putting a fresh twist on ancient recipes. SAY CHEESE Vintage Cheese Company, owned by Los Osos residents Ryan and Erin Davis, was officially founded in 2011 with the goal of pairing local, Californiasourced milks with time-honored cheesemaking know-how.
Each wheel is aged and ripened to create complex flavors and compelling textural characteristics. Read: This is not your stepdad’s flabby Kraft single. Ryan said the hardest part has been finding a place within the larger cheese market. “There’s a lot of giant companies that are producing hundreds of thousands of pounds of cheese per day, and we can’t compete with them on a price level. However, what they do is very different than what we do,” he said. FLAVOR continued page 46

Flavor That’s a bit of an understatement. The Davis’ open-vat practices allow for small batch monitoring, which means consistent quality. Working with local dairies—instead of owning one—means the business is able to keep costs closer to that of traditional farmstead prices. Following Old World recipes leads to truly mature morsels, but there’s room for fun and artistry, too. Vintage Cheese Co. offers iconic Dutch style Gouda, crystalline Romano, buttery jack, and crumbly French bleu, but you’ll also see modern takes like chipotle, jalapeño, or cabernet aged cheddar. I particularly love the sheep’s milk Manchengo and cow’s milk sage cheddar. Another source of pride: Milks are sourced exclusively from California dairies. “We saw a growing need for alternative milk products—goat’s milk and sheep’s milk—as well as locally sourced and handcrafted products that support local,” Erin said. “We wanted to help other small businesses and really continue our family legacy of entrepreneurship.” Vintage Cheese Company has won its fair share of national and international awards, and, more recently, one of Ryan’s sheep/cow’s milk blends won “first place original recipe” in the National Cheese Society Awards. No small feat for a manager-turned cheesemonger, eh? With 32 varieties and growing, Vintage Cheese Co. may not be huge, but they’re making a mark in a world plagued by bland blocks and generic wedges. Ryan and Erin don’t look at it as just a win for the Central Coast or even the Central Valley. It’s a win for California, and every small, family-run dairy they work with. If you ask me, that’s a win for your next sandwich, quesadilla, or cheese board. “I love the ability to create cheeses that remind people of what cheese can and should taste like again,” Ryan said. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain will never cut out dairy from her diet.

The boundaries of the CBID shall be all properties in the unincorporated boundaries of the County of San Luis Obispo located within the North Coast, Estero, San Luis Bay Coastal, and South County Coastal planning areas set forth in the Land Use Element – Circulation Element of the San Luis Obispo County General Plan and within the San Luis Bay Inland, South County Inland, Los Padres, Huasna-Lopez and San Luis Obispo planning areas as set forth in Title 22, Chapters 22.106, 22.112, 22.100, 22.96, and 22.108 respectively. Section 4.
The name of the business improvement area shall be the “San Luis Obispo County Tourism Business Improvement District.”
Section 5. The Board of Supervisors hereby declares that the types of improvements and activities to be funded by the levy of assessments against lodging businesses within the CBID are tourism promotions and marketing programs to promote the unincorporated San Luis Obispo County, per Section 3 above, as a tourism destination and projects, programs, and activities that benefit lodging businesses located and operating within the boundaries of the district. The proposed improvements and activities shall be targeted at increasing transient stays. Section 6. Except where funds are otherwise available, an assessment will be levied annually against lodging businesses to pay for the improvements and activities within the CBID beginning July 1, 2018. Assessments will be collected in monthly installments or such other installments as determined by the Board of Supervisors. The proposed assessment is to be levied on all lodging businesses, which include hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and vacation homes, within the CBID boundaries based upon two (2%) percent of the rent charged by the operator per occupied room per night for all transient occupancies. Federal government employees on government business will be exempt from the levy of assessment. Extended stays, defined as more than 30 consecutive calendar days, shall be exempt from the levy of assessment. New lodging businesses within the boundaries of the CBID shall not be exempt from the levy of assessment. Assessments levied pursuant to the CBID shall not be included in gross room rental revenue for the purpose of determining the amount of the transient occupancy tax. Section 7. The Board of Supervisors hereby sets May 15, 2018 as the date for a public hearing on the renewal of the CBID and the levy of assessments. The public hearing will be held at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, in the County of San Luis Obispo Board Chambers, 1055 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, California. Section 8. At the public hearing the testimony of all interested persons for or against the renewal of the CBID, the extent of the CBID, or the furnishing of specified types of improvements or activities will be heard. A protest may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. To count in the determination of a majority protest against the CBID, a protest must be in writing. Any protest pertaining to the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings shall be in writing and clearly state the irregularity or defect to which objection is made. Written protests must be received by the Clerk of the Board, County of San Luis Obispo prior to the start of the public hearing scheduled herein and may be delivered or mailed to the Clerk of the Board, County of San Luis Obispo, 1055 Monterey Street, Suite D120, San Luis Obispo, California. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a written description of the business in which the person signing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business. If the person signing the protest is not shown on the official records of the County of San Luis Obispo as the owner of the business, then the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person is the owner of the business. A written protest which does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest. Section 9. If, at the conclusion of the public hearing, written protests are received from the owners of businesses in the CBID which will pay fifty percent (50%) or more of the assessments levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protest to less than fifty (50%) percent (i.e., there is a majority protest), no further proceedings to renewal the CBID, as contained in this resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the Board of Supervisors. If the majority protest is only against the furnishing of a specified type or types of improvement or activity within the CBID, those types of improvements or activities shall be eliminated. Section 10. Further information regarding the renewal CBID may be obtained from the Clerk of the Board, County of San Luis Obispo, 1055 Monterey Street, Suite D120, San Luis Obispo, California. Section 11. Section 36523.
The Clerk of the Board is instructed to provide notice of the public hearing in accordance with Streets and Highway Code
Section 12. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the Board of Supervisors, and the Clerk of the Board shall certify to the vote adopting this resolution.

Trustor(s): LORRAINE OWENS, A MARRIED WOMAN, AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY Recorded: 8/25/2006 as Instrument No. 2006060471 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SAN LUIS OBISPO County, California; Date of Sale: 5/3/2018 at 11:00AM Place of Sale: In the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Building, located at 1087 Santa Rosa Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93408 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $881,221.46 The purported property address is: 1085 DAKOTA ROAD, NIPOMO, CA 93444 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 048-121-032 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA16-753195-RY. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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 sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: It’s easy to see fanaticism, rigidity, and intolerance in other people, but harder to acknowledge them in yourself. Do you dare? Testify at freewillastrology.com. ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the early history of the automobile, electric engines were more popular and common than gasoline-powered engines. They were less noisy, dirty, smelly, and difficult to operate. It’s too bad that thereafter the technology for gasoline cars developed at a faster rate than the technology for electric cars. By the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the petroleum-suckers were in ascendance. They have remained so ever since, playing a significant role in our world’s ongoing environmental degradation. Moral of the story: Sometimes the original idea or the early model or the first try is better. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should consider applying this hypothesis to your current state of affairs.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Chesapeake Bay is a fertile estuary that teems with life. It’s 200 miles long and holds 18 trillion gallons of water. More than 150 streams and rivers course into its drainage basin. And yet it’s relatively shallow. If you’re 6 feet tall, you could wade through over a thousand square miles of its mix of fresh and salt water without getting your hat wet. I see this place as an apt metaphor for your life in the coming weeks: an expanse of flowing fecundity that is vast but not so deep that you’ll get overwhelmed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll soon arrive at a pressure-packed turning point. You’ll stand poised at a pivotal twist of fate where you must trust your intuition to reveal the differences between smart risks and careless gambles. Are you willing to let your half-naked emotions show? Will you have the courage to be brazenly loyal to your deepest values? I won’t wish you luck, because how the story evolves will be fueled solely by your determination, not by accident or happenstance. You will know you’re in a good position to solve the Big Riddles if they feel both scary and fun.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Strong softness is one of your specialties. So are empathetic rigor, creative responsiveness, and daring acts of nurturing. Now is a perfect time to summon and express all of these qualities with extra flair. If you do, your influence will exceed its normal quotas. Your ability to heal and inspire your favorite people will be at a peak. So I hereby invite you to explore the frontiers of aggressive receptivity. Wield your courage and power with a fierce vulnerability. Be tenderly sensitive as an antidote to any headstrong lovelessness you encounter.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1973, Pink Floyd released the album The Dark Side of the Moon. Since then, it has been on various Billboard charts for more than 1,700 weeks, and has sold more than 45 million copies. Judging from the astrological aspects coming to bear on you, Leo, I suspect you could create or produce a beautiful thing with a similar staying power in the next five months. What vitalizing influence would you like to have in your life for at least the next 30 years?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I beg you to take a break sometime soon. Give yourself permission to indulge in a vacation or recess or sabbatical. Wander away on a leave of absence. Explore the mysteries of a siesta blended with a fiesta. If you don’t grant yourself this favor, I may be forced to bark “Chill out, dammit!” at you until you do. Please don’t misunderstand my intention here. The rest of us appreciate the way you’ve been attending to the complicated details that are too exacting for us. But we can also see that if you don’t ease up, there will soon be diminishing returns. It’s time to return to your studies of relaxing freedom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Singer-songwriter Roy Orbison achieved great success in the 1960s, charting 22 songs on the
aduLt services
Awesome Exotic Dancers Girls, Guys, Fantastic Parties or Just For You. Now Hiring 966-0161
Billboard Top 40. But his career declined after that. Years later, in 1986, filmmaker David Lynch asked him for the right to use his tune “In Dreams” for the movie Blue Velvet. Orbison denied the request, but Lynch incorporated the tune anyway. Surprise! Blue Velvet was nominated for an Academy Award and played a big role in reviving Orbison’s fame. Later the singer came to appreciate not only the career boost, but also Lynch’s unusual aesthetic, testifying that the film gave his song an “otherworldly quality that added a whole new dimension.” Now let’s meditate on how this story might serve as a parable for your life. Was there an opportunity that you once turned down but will benefit from anyway? Or is there a current opportunity that maybe you shouldn’t turn down, even if it seems odd?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve been to the Land of No Return and back more than anyone. But soon you’ll be visiting a remote enclave in this realm that you’re not very familiar with. I call it the Mother Lode of Sexy Truth. It’s where tender explorers go when they must transform outworn aspects of their approach to partnership and togetherness. On the eve of your quest, shall we conduct an inventory of your capacity to outgrow your habitual assumptions about relationships? No, let’s not. That sounds too stiff and formal. Instead, I’ll simply ask you to strip away any falseness that interferes with vivacious and catalytic intimacy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1824, two British explorers climbed a mountain in southwestern Australia. They were hoping to get a sweeping view of Port Phillip Bay, on which the present-day city of Melbourne is located. But when they reached the top, their view was largely obstructed by trees. Out of perverse spite, they decided to call the peak Mount Disappointment, a name it retains to this day. I suspect you may soon have your own personal version of an adventure that falls short of your expectations. I hope—and also predict—that your experience won’t demoralize you, but will rather mobilize you to attempt a new experiment that ultimately surpasses your original expectations.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn rock musician Lemmy Kilmister bragged that he swigged a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey every day from 1975 to 2013. While I admire his dedication to inducing altered states of consciousness, I can’t recommend such a strategy for you. But I will love it if you undertake a more disciplined crusade to escape numbing routines and irrelevant habits in the next four weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have a special knack for this practical art.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Germany was one of the big losers of World War I, which ended in 1919. By accepting the terms of the Versailles Treaty, it agreed to pay reparations equivalent to 96,000 tons of gold. Not until 2010, decades after the war, did Germany finally settle its bill and fulfill its obligation. I’m sure your own big, long-running debt is nowhere near as big or as long-running as that one, Aquarius. But you will nonetheless have reason to be ecstatic when you finally discharge it. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, that could and should happen sometime soon. (P.S. The “debt” could be emotional or spiritual rather than financial.)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I would rather have a drop of luck than a barrel of brains,” said the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes. Fortunately, that’s not a choice you will have to face in the coming weeks, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic signs, your brain will be working with even greater efficiency and ingenuity than it usually does. Meanwhile, a stronger-than-expected flow of luck will be swirling around in your vicinity. One of your main tasks will be to harness your enhanced intelligence to take shrewd advantage of the good fortune. ∆
