SLO County to outsource jail health care
S
an Luis Obispo County is turning to the private sector in a bid to improve medical and mental health services to its jail inmates. The SLO County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Sept. 18 to move forward with plans to outsource health services at the SLO County Jail. The vote allows county staff to begin contract negotiations with an undisclosed vendor to provide those services in the jail instead of staff from the county’s Sheriff’s Office and Health Agency. “This is a significant change in county business,” SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson told the board. “It is simply going to give us the ability to deliver more for inmates and more for their transition back to the community.” The recommendation to contract those services was made by an executive committee after studying the pros and cons of outsourcing health services at the jail as opposed to continuing them though the county. SLO County Chief Jail Medical Officer Dr. Christy Mulkerin said that hiring an outside contractor would allow the jail to bring its inmate care up to levels that meet national standards more quickly, as well as help address problems with staffing, recruitment, and retention of medical personnel at the jail. “SLO has not had a robust county health care system that can support a jail health care system,” she said. Contracting a private company will also be cheaper, according to county staff. They estimated that outsourcing jail health care would cost up to $6.3 million, while keeping it in-house would cost about $9 million. A staff report also stated that outsourcing the jail’s health services would result in the loss of jobs for some of the 24 county employees who currently provide care to inmates at the jail, including correctional nurses. The board approved spending an additional $250,000 on

Paso Robles quiet title trial nears end in Santa Clara A jury trial to determine whose groundwater rights should win out in a 5-year-old clash between public water purveyors and private landowners near Paso Robles approached a conclusion in Santa Clara County Superior Court the week of Sept. 20. In 2013, a small group of North County property owners, led by vintner Cindy Steinbeck, filed a quiet title water rights lawsuit in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court, amid anxiety about the drought, its impact on the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin, and the regulations set to curb water pumping. The suit named the city of Paso Robles, SLO County, San Miguel CSD, Templeton CSD, and Atascadero Mutual Water Company as defendants—water purveyors allegedly encroaching on their water rights. “This legal action seeks to protect the inherent right to groundwater that came with our properties when we bought them. [It] is not about seeking anything that is not already ours by California law,” reads the mission statement
for the plaintiffs’ group, Protect Our Water Rights. Since then, more than 600 landowners joined the suit, and the case moved to Santa Clara, under Judge Peter Kirwan, where it’s crawled through discovery and preliminary hearings. The case finally went to trial on Sept. 4. According to attorneys involved, both sides had rested their cases as of New Times’ press time. They expect the jury to submit a ruling by the end of the month. The decision point will be whether the defendant public purveyors have established prescriptive rights to the basin’s water to serve their customers in the towns and cities. “[The jury] will determine whether the city and other public water suppliers acquired a right to use groundwater,” Paso Robles’ counsel, Best Best & Krieger, wrote in a statement to New Times. Tim McNulty, counsel for SLO County, added in a phone call with New Times: “The county is a water supplier to our customers and has an obligation to monitor and study groundwater. We want to make sure that, whatever happens, we have the ability to do both of those things.” NEWS continued page 6

Steinbeck did not respond to emailed questions from New Times before press time. The quiet title case will conclude as the very same agencies and landowners simultaneously work to develop water management policies for the basin as required by the 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Attorneys and stakeholders say that the outcome of the case will not impact their SGMA requirements. But it’s unclear whether the court’s decision could lead to an adjudication of the basin, which is what happened in the Santa Maria Valley basin as a result of a similar quiet title lawsuit led by now-Santa Barbara County Supervisor Peter Adam. —Peter Johnson
Morro Bay moves forward with wastewater project
Next July, the Morro Bay community will start paying to fund the long anticipated wastewater treatment facility. City Manager Scott Collins told New Times the Morro Bay City Council approved the surcharges of $41 per month at its Sept. 11 meeting, because there weren’t a sufficient number of protests against it from property owners. “It’s been a lot of work the past couple of years to get to where we are now, and we understand that there’s a lot of people in the community who felt that it wasn’t the right project or too expensive,” Collins said. “Yes, it is an expensive project for a community of our size, and we’re going to do everything we can to ensure we never hit [above] a $41 increase.” The fixed monthly surcharges billed per residential unit will total $41 per month for a single-family home. Multi-family and condominium units will incur a $32.80 per month total surcharge. Utility bills for ratepayers could be as low as $168 or as high as $233, with the average customer paying $191. Next up for the water project is for the city to apply for loans in the hopes of reducing the project’s overall budget, Collins said. “We’re preparing to submit applications for the state revolving fund for their low interest loan,” he said. “We did not include that in our rate analysis, but if we are successful in getting that, it could take another $5 to $7 off a month of that $41.” Last month, the city submitted its application to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a low-interest federal loan that could fund half the cost of the project. In April, the EPA made $5.5 million available for loans, and Morro Bay was one out of 12 chosen to proceed in the next step of the application process. —Karen Garcia
Grover Beach Council remains neutral on Measure G
Members of the Grover Beach City Council chose not to take sides on a ballot measure that would ban fracking and new oil and gas drilling in SLO County. At a Sept. 17 meeting, the council voted 4-1 to remain neutral on taking a position on Measure G, which has become one of the most divisive countywide initiatives placed before local voters in November.
VIEWER DISCRETION “I’m inclined to think that this is a decision for each of us as individuals to make in the county, and I don’t think I can speak for the community fairly by voting one way or the other,” Councilmember and mayoral candidate Debbie Peterson said. Both supporters and detractors of the measure attended the meeting to make their case to the council. Those who wanted the measure to pass argued that it would protect the county’s groundwater and mitigate other harmful environmental impacts caused by fracking and oil drilling. “Those who support this measure do not wish to see a very small group of people profit substantially while jeopardizing the water and quality of life for people in SLO County,” said Dominique Dashwood, a Cal Poly student and member of the Coalition to Protect San Luis Obispo County. Opponents of Measure G claimed its passage would have a negative impact on the local economy and would result in the loss of jobs. “The citizens of Grover Beach do not need some vocal environmentalists to set city policy,” Grover Beach resident Gene Quayle said. “Our citizens are intelligent enough to make their own decisions about oil production and Measure G.” Councilmember Mariam Shah was the lone vote against remaining neutral. She was skeptical of claims that the measure would result in the loss of jobs, and raised concerns about fracking and drilling causing environmental disasters. “If something terrible does happen and I had the chance to vote to stop it and didn’t, I don’t know if I could live with myself,” said Shah, who is running for reelection. In addition, the council also voted unanimously to remain neutral on Proposition 10, a statewide ballot measure that would allow California municipalities to pass rent control ordinances by repealing decades-old legislation that imposed restrictions on rent control in the state. —Chris McGuinness
Los Osos Library expansion gets a second shot
The South Bay Community Center in Los Osos was packed with 200 people on Sept. 6 to discuss preliminary plans for an expanded local library to serve the growing community. San Luis Obispo County Director of Libraries Christopher Barnickel said that at the meeting, the community made it clear that its desire was for the library to stay in its current location on Palisades Avenue. “The feedback we heard is that time and money were less important than having a library that provides a service to the whole community,” Barnickel said. Options for a larger library include a retrofit and expansion of the existing facility, a new facility on a vacant portion of the developed parcel, an improvement/ remodel on an existing building on Los
6 • New Times • September 20 - September 27, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com
Osos Valley Road, or a new facility on a vacant parcel on 2nd or 3rd streets. The project would ultimately expand the current space from 4,799 square feet to 8,000. This isn’t the first time that San Luis Obispo County has begun efforts to expand or relocate the library in Los Osos. Buff Lawson, president of the Friends of the Los Osos Library, said the library started in 1940 as a room in a home in Baywood Park. The current facility was built in 1981 and was designed to serve a population of 10,000. She said that in 1989, the county approved an expansion plan for the current building and estimated it would cost $700,000. The SLO County Board of Supervisors has a policy to only consider funding library capital projects—for new library buildings or major improvements to existing libraries—if at least 50 percent of the project cost is provided by the community where the library is located. Buff said the Friends came up with its end of the bill, $350,000, through fundraising, and then raised an additional $50,000 after the project’s estimated cost increased. Construction documents were drawn up, but the project was halted by a habitat conservation plan. According to the alternative analysis and feasibility study, changes that had been made to the current facility prevented its expansion. Those included a storm water retention basin, a well, and an emergency lift station. Once the project was halted, the money was given to the Friends of the Library to manage. “Our money is under our control and it is earmarked for this purpose, but it’s not given to the county without contractual agreements,” Lawson said. The feasibility study recommends that sites other than where the current library is located be considered, but the Friends of the Los Osos Library would rather the building be expanded at its current location. “We’re one stakeholder, but we really don’t have the power to determine where it’s going to be,” Lawson said. Barnickel said another public forum will be slated for the beginning of next year. —Karen Garcia

Local Uber driver sues company for discrimination
A local man filed a lawsuit against rideshare giant Uber, claiming that the company wrongfully fired him after riders misinterpreted his speech impediment as intoxication and reported him. The former driver, Matthew Pack, said that he was fired after the company failed to properly investigate complaints made against him by riders who thought his speech, which was impaired as the result of a stroke, indicated that he was driving drunk. “[Uber] failed to engage in an interactive process to determine how to accommodate [Pack’s] disability … and terminated [Pack’s] employment based on his disability,” stated a complaint filed in SLO County Superior Court by Pack’s attorney, David Hamilton. According to the lawsuit, Pack suffered a stroke in 2012. While it did not impact his ability to drive, it did leave him with slurred speech at times. Pack began driving for Uber in 2017 and was “excited about his new career path,” the complaint stated. “This was something he took great pride in as he enjoyed being able to work despite the obstacles he had to overcome due to his disability,” Hamilton wrote. Pack’s trouble first began in October 2017, when Uber received a report from a rider that stated that he “appeared to be impaired” while driving. The lawsuit claims that Uber suspended Pack from work for 48 hours and did not respond to his offers to take a drug test and send them a dashboard camera video from the ride. Uber got similar reports about Pack in January and June of 2018, even after he placed a sign in his car explaining his medical condition and speech. Again, Pack claimed that the company never requested any documentation or other evidence of his disability. Uber terminated Pack on June 5. “This is horrible,” Hamilton told New Times. “It’s not an appropriate way for a company to behave.” The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages for Pack, whom Hamilton said suffered economic loss and emotional distress. When reached for comment via email, an Uber spokesperson said they could not comment on the lawsuit. Δ —Chris McGuinness

Leadership concerns Budget, schedules top list of Coast Unified teachers’ issues with superintendent
D
aniel Schalk had taught science classes at Coast Union High School full time for seven years until recently. Instead of spending his full day at the high school, Schalk was reassigned to part-time high school science teacher and part-time Cambria Grammar School lunch supervisor. “The decision was involuntary and basically I said, ‘This is ridiculous; I have no grammar school experience,’ ” Schalk said. This sort of reassignment is just one of a litany of concerns that teachers have about the leadership of their superintendent, Victoria Schumacher. Teaching staff and community members have been voicing their concerns for months over teacher reassignments, declining student enrollment, a decreased number of teachers, and the shrinking district budget. In April of this year, teachers were outraged by the district’s decision to reduce its teaching staff by 3 1/2 positions through voluntary retirement. The district informed 10 teachers, Schalk included, of reassignments that spring. Prior to his reassignment, Schalk taught physics, chemistry, and biology at Coast Union High School. At the start of the school year, he started traveling from one school to the other, teaching high school physics and chemistry and commuting to the elementary school to supervise lunch and be a teacher’s aide.
The high school biology class was cut, leaving students with the option of taking an agricultural biology class instead. “I felt a sense of dread, for lack of a better word,” he said. “It was this feeling of being totally ignored and feeling like you’re caught in this dark room where you don’t understand why anything is happening.” After presenting an alternative plan to bring back the biology course, Schalk was given back his full-time position on Sept. 13. The change occurred a week after teachers renewed their complaints about the district’s superintendent, revisiting a vote of no confidence letter sent to the district in June regarding the superintendent’s leadership. Cambria Teachers Association President Joe Sassaman said his colleagues’ concerns include having no time to prepare for their next classes, no time for students outside of the class period, and no time for themselves—as they travel between Coast Union High School and the Cambria Grammar School or Santa Lucia Middle School. Under Schumacher’s leadership, from September 2017 to September of this year, 13 teachers and staff members have resigned from their positions with the district. Sassaman and others believe that teacher reassignments, staff leaving the district, and an overall lack of confidence in leadership are the reasons that many
parents in the community are moving their children out of the district. In August 2017, the enrollment report showed that 610 children were attending school in the district. This school year (2018-19), the report shows that 563 students have been enrolled. Students are attending San Luis Coastal Unified School District rather than Coast, which is affecting the district’s budget, according to Sassaman. Coast is considered a “basic aid district,” meaning the property values in the district’s boundaries are high enough that revenue from property taxes more than meets what the state would allocate per student. Last year, Coast, Cayucos Elementary School District, and San Luis Coastal entered into an agreement to establish a process for Cayucos students to transfer from Coast to San Luis Coastal for high school and for the money to go with them. With the new contract, 22 percent of the funds will follow transfer students to San Luis Coastal this year, 55 percent will follow next year, and the full amount is set for the third year. During a Feb. 8, 2018, school board meeting, California School Employees Association chapter President Patricia Stroh spoke about Coast’s financial future on behalf of the chapter and the Cambria Teachers Association. She said that school districts in San Luis Obispo County expend an average of $10,677 per student. Coast Unified spends $17,000 per student. “If we assume we lose the estimated $1.6 million to Cayucos, the district is still well above the county average to spend on students,” she said during the meeting. According to the district’s 2016-17
budget, the general fund total revenue and other financial resources was $12.1 million. For 2017-18, it was $12.6 million. Superintendent Schumacher told New Times that the district is working to maintain a 4 percent reserve in future budget years, which is why she has been working to balance the budget by reducing the number of teachers. What will make that difficult in the years to come, Schumacher said, is the increasing cost of the district’s contribution to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and California State Teacher’s Retirement System (CalSTRS) pensions. “For example, CalSTRS had a distinct contribution of about 8 percent. For the 201718 year, it was 14.4 percent on the employees’ total compensation. For 2021-22, it’s projected to increase 18.6 percent; that’s a 4.2 percent increase in STRS alone,” Schumacher said. Aside from those increases, she said, the district has a priority in providing technology for its students that is costly, as well as the cost of E-Rate—a discounted telecommunications service. Schumacher said that on Sept. 21, the district will hold the first of three public meetings where the superintendent’s financial analysis committee works with the community in understanding and balancing the district’s budget. “This will continue to be an ever deepening process in transparency and community engagement,” she said. The superintendent is currently under an evaluation period and results will be provided to the public at an Oct. 4 board meeting. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com

A basin to balance
Paso Robles groundwater talks to heat up as state deadline looms
O
ne chapter at a time. That’s how scientists, water officials, and the public are writing the 20-year sustainability plan for the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin. Five out of the plan’s 13 total chapters are drafted thus far, covering introductions, basin boundaries, and hydrology. But that was the easy part. Sustainability discussions are about to get a lot more complicated and challenging as the meat of the plan—future groundwater level targets, well monitoring programs, recharge projects, and financing questions—start to take center stage. “We need to inform everybody: In order to maintain or raise water levels, there’s a cost involved. How much higher do you really want these water levels?” said Derrik Williams, principal hydrologist with Montgomery and Associates, to members of the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee on Sept. 12. When state lawmakers decided to regulate groundwater for the first time by passing the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in 2014, landowners and farmers over struggling aquifers were given until 2020 to come up with sustainability plans. After years of contentious discussions about how that process should shake out locally, landowners overlying the Paso basin now have just a little more than a year to write their plan. It’s a task that’s
not expected to be easy, simple, or cheap. The aquifer serving North County covers 780 square miles, has seven subareas, and includes thousands of wells and residents. What’s at stake is the lifeblood of North County’s wine and ag industry and the water source for families, ranches, livestock, and more. Well data shows that the basin is in perilous overdraft—meaning, more water is pumped out every year than is replenished by natural recharge. Between 1981 and 2016, the average annual overdraft was 13,700 acre-feet, or 4.5 billion gallons. Paso’s sustainability plan has to reverse this imbalance, which has already impacted basin landowners with driedup wells, poor water quality, and other issues. Factoring in basin science, the effects of climate change, current and future water demand, and the will of the people over the basin, the five-member cooperative committee will make the final decisions on the plan by January 2020. Draft chapters 1 through 4 and 11 are available online at pasogcp.com. The public comment period on chapters 1 through 3 and 11 is open until Oct. 15. For chapter 4, the deadline is Nov. 3. “The idea is to go out [to the community] in such a way that people start connecting with these nebulous concepts and see it as how their well is going to operate in the future,” Williams said. A preliminary survey of 111 basin

landowners hinted that expectations for the future vary. Over the Estrella subarea—located east and north of the city of Paso—the basin has the highest overdraft at 8,400 acre-feet per year, yet the majority of stakeholders surveyed there said they like where the water levels are now. In the Creston sub-area, where there’s only a 1,900 acre-feet overdraft, landowners prefer the water levels to return to where they were 10 years ago. The consultant team and cooperative committee want more public input on this as they start to write the next chapters for the plan. A representative from each agency pumping from the basin serves on the cooperative committee. Willy Cunha, a Shandon area farmer, sits on the board for the Shandon-San Juan Water District. Paso Robles City Councilman John Hamon represents the city. Joe Parent is on the board for the San Miguel CSD. Heritage Ranch CSD has a seat served by Reginald Cousineau. And San Luis Obispo County 1st District Supervisor John Peschong represents the largest swath of the basin—all properties that aren’t represented by another agency. In addition, each agency on the committee also meets separately as “groundwater sustainability agencies”
(GSA). So, while the cooperative committee makes final decisions about the plan, every component of it is also vetted and voted on by each GSA. Looking forward, Williams offered the committee two major issues to start broaching with landowners. One is to find out which landowners are willing to have their wells monitored for groundwater levels, which the state needs in order to track the basin’s health over time. “This is a sensitive topic,” Williams said. “We think the GSA is best situated to be in touch with their constituencies.” Williams also raised the question of how the committee wants to treat “de minimis extractors”—landowners who use 2 acre-feet or less water per year. He said, collectively, de minimis pumpers account for between 3 and 13 percent of the total basin demand. As the hydrologists hone in on that exact percentage, the question will be how much, and with what method, should these overliers contribute financially to the sustainability plan. Costs could be proportionately applied or they could be exempt, among other options, Williams said. But he advised that the committee come up with a basinwide policy, rather than one for each GSA. “Neighbors living next to each other in different GSAs [could be] treated differently in how they’re funding projects there,” he said. ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

e’ve all heard the complaints about commercial fishing: It’s unsustainable, its practices are cruel, and it’s ecologically damaging. Online, we can see horrible images of shark finning or clubbing seals or slaughtering whales. It’s easy to believe that commercial fishing is bad. But is it? People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the California Fisheries Fund, the Moore Foundation, the Pacific Fisheries Information Network, the National Ocean Economics Program, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, and the Resource Legacy Fishery Fund are just a few of the many groups watchdogging the commercial fishing industry, not to mention government oversight groups such as California’s Fish and Game Commission, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the California State Coastal Conservancy, and the Ocean Protection Council, plus federal oversight groups such as the National Marine Fisheries Service and Sea Grant. That’s a lot of eyes scrutinizing fishermen’s every move, and every commercial fisherman has to operate knowing their every practice will be examined. Over the years, formerly common fishing practices have been banned, fishing grounds have gained protected status, and increased regulations have made commercial fishing more difficult and less viable. Most of us will never know the day-to-day grind of the industry, but one local fishing team offered their point of view of the job they love.
working retail ever since recovering from a broken back, sustained in a house fire in Indonesia, where he’d been surfing and doing surf photography. He thought, commercial fishing? Why not? He called the number. “For deckhands, you’re basically given a shot,” Jewell said. “You show up, go out, and the captain keeps you as long as you’re beneficial.” Jewell’s first job was a trip to Half Moon Bay. He spent $500 getting what he needed (a fishing license, slickers, gloves, boots, a knife), got a good night’s sleep, woke up the next day at 3:30 a.m., and headed out. “It was a two-day trip, my first time staying on a boat,” Jewell recalled. “My excitement level was through the roof. The first day went by pretty smoothly. We were cleaning lines and buoys, something you rarely do, but I didn’t know it at the time.” Think of it as a trial by fire, a way for a captain to weed out the doers from the slackers. By the second day, it wasn’t quite as exciting. “Waking up the next day at 4 a.m. on the boat, there are no comforts, no showers,
no privacy,” Jewell remembered. “I put on some new socks and went about getting bait ready for that day. It hit me how thankful I was it was only a two-day trip.” Jewell, 38, has been fishing for less than a year, but he’s stayed with it when a lot of deckhand tryouts don’t. It sounds great at first. Who doesn’t love fishing? Going out on a boat and being outside? Commercial fishing isn’t kick-back-ina-boat-with-a-beer kind of fishing. It’s tough, physically demanding work, often in harsh weather conditions. Some deckhand tryouts get seasick, others can’t stand the smell, and some get grossed out by cutting bait all day. It’s not for wussies. Jewell, who’s now a crab fisherman on Capt. Michael Cohen’s 47-foot crab and salmon boat, Eagle, out of Port San Luis, thinks he has it pretty easy these days. He started fishing slime eels, sometimes called hagfish because it sounds a lot less disgusting. Trapped live, the eels are shipped to Korea, where they’re considered a delicacy. For the last six months, he’s been crabbing with Cohen. Dungeness crabs are crab fishermen’s best catch, but they’re seasonal, so until

the fishery reopens on Nov. 15, Jewell and Cohen are catching rock crabs, which are fair game year-round. It’s hard work. They’re usually on the boat by 5 a.m. and headed out to their strings of crab pots, and after working for 12 hours or so, they head back to port, unload, clean the boat, and prep it for the next trip. “One thing I didn’t realize when I started was there are no lunch breaks. The boat doesn’t stop,” Jewell noted. “You basically need to schedule when you’re going to eat, going to get a drink of water, going to use the bathroom—or what we call ‘the head’—driving between strings, which is maybe five or 10 minutes.” There are somewhere around 20 pots on a string, and each one needs to be hauled aboard, sorted—returning to the sea the wrong species, pregnant crabs, undersized crabs, etc.—before rebaiting and returning it to the bottom. Even using a hydraulic hoist, the work is exhausting. “Crabber claw—honestly I’m just now getting over it. It lasts two to three months of every season where your hands sort of cramp-up from grabbing the pots, grabbing the lines, pushing and pulling on things. All the muscles and tendons in your hands get sore and conform to this crablike shape,” Jewell explained, holding out his hands into two claw-like appendages. Currently, he and Cohen are running about 200 rock crab pots and check them about twice a week. If they’re doing well, they leave them where they are. If they aren’t, they have to move them, which is labor intensive. When Dungeness season starts, they’ll have more like 250 pots, which Jewell says is “probably the most two men can do in a day.” The big difference is they’ll be checking them about five times a week. Usually deckhands get a percentage of the day’s catch—good days they’ll make more money; bad days less—so adding another deckhand is a financial

calculation for a captain. Cohen may be able to add more strings of pots and make more money with another deckhand, or maybe not. He’s still the one paying for boat upkeep, fuel, and bait. When you’re the only deckhand, calling in sick or deciding you don’t feel like working that day isn’t an option—not if you want to keep your job. “The most important thing for me is to physically stay healthy,” Jewell admitted. “I’ve got to put the right kind of fuel in my tank. If I drink a Coke the day before fishing, I end up with acid reflux the next day. When I wake up and I’m not feeling 100 percent, it can really push you mentally and physically.”
LARGE AND IN CHARGE Michael Cohen, captain of Eagle, has been fishing out of Port San Luis since 1996.
An industry adapts
Jewell’s captain, Cohen, 40, is sort of Port San Luis royalty. His father Barry Cohen built Olde Port Inn board by board, working with Leo Brisco, of Brisco Road fame, to develop Port San Luis into a functioning commercial fishing port. Michael’s older brother is Leonard Cohen, who used to own Olde Port Inn but now owns seafood-centric restaurants Ciopinot Seafood Grille and La Esquina Taqueria in San Luis Obispo. Michael Cohen is the first to admit that commercial fishing isn’t “for everybody.” He started in 1996 at age 18, eventually buying his own salmon boat before upgrading to Eagle. He also brought and ran the fish market on the pier but has since sold it. He and Howie Kennett still run an icehouse on the pier. With 22 years of experience, Cohen’s seen the local industry go through good times and bad, and right now he says it’s going “good” (not great) for him. Of course, competition isn’t what it used to be. Cohen recalls his early days, when Port San Luis had a lot more vessels, many of which were trawlers, dragging huge nets along the bottom. “We had a different fleet here,” Cohen noted, and between government agencies and environmental groups, the local fishing industry was under attack. “The government did a big buyback program of trawler permits because of
outcry from environmental groups to get rid of dragging,” Cohen said. “It was an era where a lot of the older guys were getting ready to retire, so they sold their permits back to the government. Then, the Nature Conservancy did a buyback of their own and bought more guys out. Avila lost its fish processing facilities and a bunch of boats disappeared all at the same time, so there was a real slump for a while. Guys started buying smaller boats and doing hook-and-line and trap fishing, and boats from other ports stopped coming here. When I started fishing, I never thought I’d be a crabber.” In Cohen’s assessment, the local industry’s slump was the result of a kind of catch-22 paradox. Trawlers had very specific catch limits, and going over those quotas resulted in big fines. Since there was no way to weigh the catch onboard a boat, fishermen had to guesstimate their haul, and it was better to underestimate than over estimate. “Check this out,” Cohen said. “Let’s say ‘species A’ had a 10,000-pound limit on a dragger. Fishermen would get maybe 8,500 pounds and stop to avoid a fine. Scientists would look at the catch [tallies] and say, ‘Oh, they only brought in 8,500 pounds, so that fish stock must be low, so we better drop the limit to 8,000 pounds.’ It looked bad even though fish stocks were up!” Add to that environmentalists who claimed dragging devastated the sea floor. Fishermen like Cohen have a different take. “The industry did a lot of studies, including video studies, which proved that dragging didn’t do as much damage as environmentalists thought it did,” Cohen claimed. “We had divers on the bottom, and the nets rolled right over them. Video showed fish going in and out of the nets almost like they didn’t care. The fish thought of it as a structure to hang out in. The environmentalists didn’t want to see the facts. They’re emotionally driven people.”
Healthy seas
HOIST MASTER Dockworker Howie Kennett helps unload fishing vessels and operates an icehouse on Olde Port pier.
According to Cohen, fish stocks are much more healthy than many believe, and trawling actually had a lot of benefits. “The nets were stirring up nutrients on the bottom, attracting more fish,” he said. “We’d trawl an area and get a great catch and go back and there’d be even more
krill per day, and if it’s full of domoic acid, navigation can be affected. “A lot of environmentalists want to paint fishermen as bad people, but it’s in our interests to keep our environment and fisheries healthy,” Cohen said. “I’m an environmentalist myself. When I find a female tock crab with eggs, I throw it back even though I don’t have to. If we’re getting a lot of small fish bycatch, we stop and go somewhere else. Environmentalism is all money driven. Groups get money from donors, so they need to create an issue—there’s no reason to donate money if there’s no emergency.” California has perhaps the most regulated fishing industry in the world. Marine Protection Areas, quotas, seasons, and equipment—it’s all regulated. “People think we’re like Vikings raping and pillaging the ocean, but we want to do this job forever, and we can’t if we don’t keep our fisheries healthy,” Cohen said. “If [hardened environmentalists] were paying attention to reason and really did their research, they’d have a whole different attitude. If I was talking to the average person on the street, I’d tell them, ‘Use your head. Don’t get brainwashed by people who don’t know what they’re talking about.’”
fish. Of course, there’re also phenomenon we can’t account for. In 1995, fishermen were being accused of raping the ocean, and out of nowhere came a huge horde of rockfish that showed up along the coast. You couldn’t get away from them. They were everywhere for a couple months, and then they were gone overnight.” Lobbying the government about their faulty catch assessment figures went nowhere, Cohen said.

olvos weren’t always square. In the ’50s through 1976, vintage styles had more rounded bodies—a classic look. Ryan Burmaster had one of his own, a red ’66 Volvo Amazon 122s he paid for in cash. It was a great car, but the recession in 2012 made cutting costs seem appealing. So despite the work he put into maintenance and the joy he got from driving a vintage, selling became an option. Burmaster put up a Craigslist ad for the ’66 along with a few stray car parts. People interested in buying and selling similar parts reached out from Orange County, Monterey, and Santa Barbara. San Luis Obispo locals reached out as well; they were just excited to hear about someone who had the same car as them. From Burmaster’s one Craigslist ad, a group of roughly 10 Volvo enthusiasts met up and quickly decided not to sell their cars after all. They liked them far too much. This is how SloRolling began. They opted to start collecting parts and working on vintage Volvos together. “It was kinda out of necessity; these cars are so old a lot of people won’t touch them. So we built up online volumes of reading material and do-it-yourself videos to help out,” Burmaster said. “We all started this connection over something that might seem obsolete to many people.” A lot of classic cars are deemed “trailer queens” in the vintage world. They stay
in a garage, travel to car shows and back, but don’t get a lot of practical use. Vintage Volvos are different. SloRolling’s “Just Keep ’em Rolling” slogan is indicative of that. These cars are meant to drive. The Part Shed program helps keep them on the road. It’s a literal shed that began to fill soon after the group came together; it’s stocked with hardto-find vintage Volvo needs. Members of the group donate parts, and boxes are shipped to the shed from all over the country (and sometimes world) just to help out. Guests pay what they can. “It’s on an honest level, everybody gives what they can and takes what they should,” Burmaster said. “Those with money tend to donate, people who can pay a fair price do, and for those who can’t afford a part, we just give stuff away.” The Part Shed program donated an engine to a family in need, assisted a traveler who needed a new hydraulic clutch in less than half an hour, and helped various SloRolling members maintain their cars. “After a while, people were starting to ask if they could donate vehicles,” Burmaster said. “That was always outside our capacity, so we said no, but then around three years ago we started saying yes. That was the start of the Kickstart Program, ‘Kids In Cool Kars.’” In Burmaster’s words, the program is all about passing on the torch to the next

generation of gearheads. Since its start, the program has donated 10 cars to minors. The cars aren’t in driving condition when donated; a lot of times the “guts,” such as the windows and seats, are missing. However, after some mentorship and maintenance, the cars can be fixed up and driven. “We just want to get kids involved and start using their hands,” Burmaster said. “Once they put their phones down long enough to mentally get into a problem and start troubleshooting, they grab a hold of that and it opens up their mind to problem-solving skills.” People interested in joining the group, donating parts, or referring a child to the Kickstart Program, can email slorolling@ gmail.com or visit SloRolling’s facebook page for more information.

4H20, aka Cambrians For Water, and their candidates for Cambria Community Services District (CSD) office are spewing more misinformation. Their claim to fame is they are prowater. Everyone in Cambria wants water, obviously. We are all “pro-water.” My choices for the CSD, Donn Howell and Dennis Perry, are “pro-water.” The pond turtles and fishes and egrets are “prowater.” No one wants to haul water in buckets and fall flat on their backs lifting heavy pails of water to water their roses. How we got that water, how much it cost, how it would be permitted, who paid for that water, and who will use that water has always been in contention. The other contentious issue will always be: How will taking this water out of Santa Rosa and San Simeon creeks affect our wildlife? None of those serious, complex and critical issues were answered in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, or 2018. The CSD never got the right permits for their “emergency” water project. Several issues with the project should have been answered prior to building it, not afterward. But C4H20 got their way. CSD board members and their cohorts,

C4H20, claimed this new water supply would cost between $1 million and $4 million. They claimed it would only be used during a stage 3 water emergency. They claimed it was only for existing residents. They claimed it would not be used for growth. They claimed it was “water security” or an insurance policy against running out of water in the future. They claimed it would not harm our environment or take resources from the wildlife that depend on water in our coastal creeks. None of these claims proved to be true. C4H2O misrepresented the truth.

rates are going up year after year with no end in sight. The brine pond was supposed to be able to withstand a 1,000-year flood event. It didn’t make it through one year of rainfall. The project was supposed to deliver 250 acre-feet of drinking water in six months. It is not working properly, and everyone knows it. It is now rusting away day and night in the salty sea air because it was never finished, because they ran out of money. We can’t turn it on because it costs too much to run it. We haven’t even started having the hearings we will all need to attend to figure out what we can do about it. The first thing the CSD did was change the name of this water supply to open up the building waitlist for growth. That’s a bait-and-switch. How does adding more homes to the community ensure our water security when the project isn’t even up and running? How does adding more homes ensure this water supply becomes “insurance against future droughts” when the project isn’t even permitted?

How will adding more demands on water supply protect the fishes and pond turtles and red-legged frogs when permits have
not been obtained from U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the California Department of Parks and Recreation, or the California Coastal Commission yet? How does adding more homes protect residents? The short answer is, it doesn’t. We are all paying for propaganda, the CSD’s failure to deliver on promises, and its public relations machine called C4H20. Cambrians will now be forced to turn back to the Dark Ages of hauling water in buckets once again while new homes are being built. Residents on fixed incomes are going broke trying to pay for a rushed project that doesn’t work. Our bank accounts are drained to try to fix all the problems that continue to be disguised by the pro-growth element in town. The same people are still supporting the same failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place. I will not vote for more of the same. I will oppose all rate increases because I do not approve of how the CSD is spending my money. The CSD needs to clean house. The exodus of the district’s general manager, Jerry Gruber, and its district engineer, Bob Gresens, is a start but much more needs to be done. I will vote for district board candidates Howell and Perry to try to bring some sense of financial accountability back to our water and sewer district, if it isn’t too late. ∆ Mary Webb writes from Cambria.

Opinion Women get my vote Women are tired of working for less pay, doing the same job as a man. Women are tired of men making laws for their bodies and families. Women are sick and tired of sexual harassment, treatment as less than, and disregard for what they want. We’ve seen men failing, cheating, and lying in high offices. This year, vote for Democratic women. Libby Breen Orcutt
Register and vote, please I endorse and call for votes to re-elect Heidi Harmon as mayor of SLO. She isn’t perfect and needs to learn to listen more to people, follow up on things, and get back to people when they contact her. She’s got good progressive instincts but I fear she’s fallen into being guided and advised by too many professional Democratic Party political hacks. One really bad move was having no question/ answer/comment period at the end of the recent community meeting on homelessness in SLO. It was like a multipolitician/bureaucrat/talking head lecture presentation, not a good approach. But compared to the ultra rightwing gadfly and NIMBY on steroids character running against her—Keith Gurnee—Harmon comes out looking very good indeed. With some important modifications in her approach, SLO needs the youthful and energetic vision of Heidi,

not the old-line, elitist, gentry oriented, “get off my lawn” tone of Gurnee. I doubt he even really believes the things he says against development. I think he’s just using it to appeal to voters who pine for the SLO of the 1950s. It’s gone. Face it. Development must be sensible and not overpowering, but some development is inevitable and necessary. Remember that Heidi only won in 2016 by 47 votes. It’s important for everyone with a progressive outlook to vote in this 2018 election—and for more than just the SLO mayor. There are many state issues and many candidates on the ballot.

Vote for no growth! We join with a lot of San Luis Obispo’s citizens in our concerns for the direction the city is taking. New growth is changing the character of the city, and not necessarily for the better! The construction of high-rise buildings and of small “affordable” apartments do nothing but add to the already bad traffic congestion and eyesores. The city (and county) seem to think that we can build ourselves out of the “housing crisis.” That is not possible, for the more we build the more “they” will come. Several years ago, the citizens of San Luis Obispo voted against importing state water because it was considered growth inducing. So what does the city do? They listen to the outside money interests who

What do you think about Cal Poly lifting its suspension on Greek life? 40% It’s the right move. Greek groups were punished enough for the bad behavior of a few last year. 31% Greek culture is toxic and should have no place at Cal Poly. 16% I’m not convinced. Frats and sororities have much more work to do to earn their privileges back. 13% I’m skeptical, but if they’ve demonstrated they’ll commit to a change in culture, then OK. 202 Votes
want to build more! We are really about out of water, and with future predictions forecasting more droughts the situation will become dire. We still see cars around town with bumper stickers saying “I love the SLO Life” or “My Special Place.” We are losing both of those. Yes, this has been a wonderful place to live and to raise our children, but that scenario is rapidly being lost. I have known Keith Gurnee for more than 40 years, and I have found him to be an honorable person with a lot of integrity and concerns about the future of the city. He is very knowledgeable about planning issues and has a large amount of experience in those issues. Therefore, we are supporting Keith Gurnee for mayor of San Luis Obispo
in the upcoming election. We urge the citizens of San Luis Obispo to do the same. Dennis Wheeler SLO
Enthusiasm for ECHO and Susan Funk Thank you Vicky Morse for highlighting the work of ECHO, North County’s only homeless shelter, and the joy and celebration inherent in their Long Walk Home event (“Shame on Atascadero City Council candidate Funk,” Sept. 13). It is true that many Atascadero residents, longtime ECHO volunteers for different community groups, decided to don Susan Funk campaign shirts and make it known that we think Susan is the candidate to choose if you value the work of ECHO and want to seat a council person who cares deeply about all members of our community. One of my favorite memories from that day was watching the kids play with the bubbles our campaign brought. Kids who stay at ECHO, kids who do not. They were all the same and completely happy playing together. One of the best pictures taken that day was of a toddler with a bubble wand. I recommend everyone go to ECHO’s facebook page and find the picture under “photos.” While there, you can consider how best to help this amazing organization.

Terracide in SLO County

n Yreka, ghost-lit softball players hit into a smoke-veiled outfield. An impenetrable wall of haze shrouds the Olympic Range. Air quality cancels Ashland’s outdoor Shakespeare performances while citizens wear facemasks. These images persist after my monthlong summer journey throughout the Pacific Northwest. This year lays claim to the fourth hottest year ever recorded. We’ve seen the largest fires in California history. Former Cal Fire Chief Rob Lewin noted that in the 1980s, we would have maybe one mega fire every two years. “Now we’re fighting three or four massive blazes annually,” he said. Meanwhile, the East Coast endures a mammoth hurricane that could bring destruction as deadly and costly as that of Katrina in 2005, and Harvey, Irma, and Maria last year. The human toll of Maria? Almost 3,000 U.S. citizens, contrary to the self-serving decrial of our president. Let’s honestly assess what climate change means. Remember when downtown San Luis Obispo hit 115 degrees? Expect many more days of torture when you can’t live without air conditioning. A new definition of the “haves” and “have-nots” will be those with and those without AC. Drought? Water rationing will become permanent, flushing toilets with saved shower water a constant. San Luis Creek will become a stagnant pool ceasing to lend charm to our downtown. Fires? The ridge above Cal Poly was
engulfed last year causing the evacuation of dorms and Slack Street homes. Next year, fires could raze the entire Monterey Heights neighborhood. It’s happened in Oakland, in Ventura, in Santa Rosa, in Montecito. Rising sea levels? Imagine Pismo, Shell, and Avila Beaches cut back to slivers. Imagine the inundation of the Morro Bay Estuary and the loss of herons, cormorants, grebes, loons. “Changes we hoped would take decades are happening now—our planet home won’t be the same for our children and future generations,” Adrienne Alvord, the Union of Concerned Scientists western states director, told me. Here’s a fact: If we don’t act now to cut greenhouse gas emissions, daily temperatures are likely to rise 8 degrees by the end of the century. That’s a deadlier, devastating, costlier future. Nature’s not Chicken Little. In convening the Global Climate Action Summit last week, Gov. Jerry Brown stated that the myriad problems we face today are “nothing compared to what they’ll be in 10 or 20 years as the climate burns up.” How does our president respond? He’s proposed diluting a rule on carbon dioxide pollution from vehicle tailpipes and disemboweling policies to rein in CO2 from coal-fired plants. He’s freed companies to release methane into our atmosphere, while he wants to repeal restrictions on burning methane from drilling operations.

access. When Dignity Health was CHW, a CHW hospital terminated a pregnancy to save a woman with life-threatening pulmonary hypertension. As a result, Bishop Thomas Olmstead revoked his endorsement of that hospital as a Catholic institution and this was followed by the excommunication of Sister Margaret Mary McBride, a member of the ethics committee. The bishop proclaimed that the hospital did not properly carry out the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, setting a dangerous precedent for the unification of religion and health. This merger should not continue forward unless there are guaranteed safeguards for the most vulnerable in our community. I call on state Attorney General Xavier Becerra to ensure that these safeguards are clearly defined and strictly imposed. I urge SLO residents to speak up at the office of Becerra this Friday, Sept. 21, at 10 a.m. See you there. Nasim Delavari San Luis Obispo
Catholic hospital directives don’t match public health concerns On Sept. 13, Chris McGuinness reported on the Dignity Health and Catholic Health Initiatives merger and its impact on the San Luis Obispo community (“Dignity Health merger proposal draws community concerns”), especially women, LGBTQIA-plus, and low-income members of our community. This is ironic because a health care organization should be committed to the social, physical, and mental well-being of all humankind, but this merger may place restrictions and bans on certain health care services that are intended to enhance these well-beings. As a public health student and a SLO resident, I strongly oppose this merger, unless conditions are imposed to ensure standardized and quality care for all patients. The merger between Dignity Health (formerly Catholic Healthcare West (CHW)) and Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) poses a threat to services provided to cis-female, under/uninsured, and LGBTQIA-plus patients. The city of SLO has roughly 50,000 residents and only four hospitals are in the entire county, two of which are Dignity-owned hospitals. Such a merger would limit a huge portion of the population when it comes to equitable

Brown labels the threat we face as “existential,” meaning the end of existence on Earth. What’s another name for Trump’s actions? Terracide. Can we save the planet? Yes, if we act precipitously. I take heart from Brown’s global climate summit and the fact that some of the world’s biggest companies have pledged to tackle global warming, along with cities, states, and nations. To pull back from catastrophe, scientists warn that global emissions cannot peak past 2020. We have less than two years, but 27 American cities announced they’ve met that goal. These climate partners prove, moreover, that we can decrease greenhouse gas emissions and grow the economy. Alvord noted that even while California has undertaken decarbonization, it has grown from the world’s eighth economy to its fifth. “We have become a tremendous hub for sustainable market sectors that spur innovation and the economy,” she said. I take heart in the passage of SB 100, committing California to obtain 100 percent of its electricity from non-carbon sources by 2045. I’m cheered by Brown’s executive order to simultaneously achieve zero carbon emissions across the economy. And I’m proud of San Luis Obispo for adding climate action to its list of major city goals, including the goal of becoming a net-zero carbon city. What can you do to save the planet? Minimize the carbon footprint in your own home. Then check candidates for
their positions on climate change. Hard to believe, but Republican gubernatorial candidate John Cox has no posted statement on the issue. Thankfully, Democratic candidate Gavin Newsom declares he will put the state on a path to 100 percent renewable energy, starting on his first day in office. Locally, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) served on President Obama’s climate change task force and tackled carbon pollution as a Santa Barbara County supervisor. His opponent, Justin Fareed, calls for deregulation in order to integrate “new technologies which will lead to an increasingly decarbonized future,” according to his campaign website. (Is that wanting to have it both ways? Just asking.) In the 35th state Assembly District, Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham posts no statement on climate, but Bill Ostrander articulates the need for California to lead climate change mitigation efforts, especially in agriculture. SLO mayoral candidate Keith Gurnee tepidly wrote via email that, “Climate Change is real … but the changes need to be transitional rather than sudden to avoid economic disruption.” Mayor Heidi Harmon, by contrast, states on her website: “We must act in the face of a growing climate crisis” with “bold solutions.” We need boldness. We need political imagination and political will. Safeguarding planetary existence must be our common purpose. ∆ Amy Hewes is actively involved in grassroots political action.

The Shredder
Is Bird the word? A
ccording to bird.co, San Luis Obispo has joined cities such as Los Angeles, San Jose, Santa Monica, San Diego, and Berkeley as a Bird city, meaning we have the electric vehicle sharing service Bird supplying our town with easy-to-access rental scooters. If you’re thinking, “Yeehaw! I’m going to take them off some sweet jumps,” not so fast, hotshot! It turns out that Bird, which has a habit of “rogue-launching” in cities without permission, has been told to hit the brakes by SLO city officials until they can assess the viability and practicality of the scooters, which have had a lessthan-enthusiastic welcome in some communities. Take Venice, for instance, where Bird first launched. Bird’s founder and CEO, the fabulously named Travis VanderZanden, said, “We won’t be happy until there are more Birds than cars,” to which many Venice residents spewed colorful epithets the likes of which might make a sailor blush. The problem is the scooters are dropped everywhere, used and discarded exactly like someone would use and discard something that’s not their responsibility to maintain or care for. The whole Bird system depends on volunteers taking the scooters home at night, recharging them, and sending them back into the world. Users download
an app, which when opened shows a SLO Town map with a pulsing purple dot signaling your location. The map shows nearby Birds, and all you do is scan the code on the scooter you want to use into your phone and your ride starts at about 50 cents per 15 minutes. Except currently there are no Bird scooters in the city. And yes, of course I downloaded the app! I’m the Shredder that wants to take them off some sweet jumps! See you soon, Fredericks Street! Thanks for being so close to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center! Yes, there are many horror stories of Bird riders zipping along bike lanes and sidewalks at 15 mph, cellphones in hand, ear buds pumping the EDM track du jour into their already distracted brains. Broken shoulders, head injuries, concussions, bloodied knees and elbows follow. For fun, look up “Bird Electric Scooters BIGGEST FAILS” on YouTube where you can watch former porn star (as least I hope he’s “former”) Ron “The Hedgehog” Jeremy hit a parked car, watch a Bird rider collide with a pedestrian walking into her green walk signal, and watch a crash victim say, “My scooter ride was $1.38 but my E.R. bill will be a couple thousand dollars.” We live in a town with great bicycle infrastructure, but there’s still endless acrimony between drivers, bicyclists, electric bicycle riders, and others. Do
we really want dozens of electric scooters scattered around town for every drunk-ass college kid to access when it’s time to stumble home? We do if we want to see the sequel to “Bird Electric Scooters BIGGEST FAILS!” Let’s do this! Plus, Bird will no doubt help SLO Town reach its goal of being a net-zero emissions city by 2035, which SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon is announcing all over Facebook even though other City Council members wanted to hold the announcement until the city had, you know, an actual plan developed to reach that lofty goal. Hmm. Is this an election year? Why yes, yes it is, and Harmon has done little to hide her desire for a big progressive announcement to rally her base of supporters to vote for her over her NIMBY folk hero challenger T. Keith Gurnee. Careful what you wish for, Heidi! Gurnee will have your laudable ecological goal twisted into an attack on long-term residents faster than you can say, “widened bike lanes.” Meanwhile over at the SLO County Board of Supervisors, a rare moment of bipartisan tranquility! I know! I didn’t think it was possible, but right there on 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill’s
Facebook page he gushed, “Yesterday was one of those rare days when you had to be inside the BOS meeting to appreciate it. We made another step forward on fixing our jail health care. It was teamwork to get us there … . It’s the best I have felt after a BOS meeting in along time.” Adam usually leaves meetings with steam coming out of his ears, a tummy ache, and a case of the Mean Reds, so congratulations, supervisors! I hate to pour water on your champagne party … but, why are you keeping secret the company you’re considering awarding the privatization of health services at the jail to? What’s the big secret? You claim privatization will save the county money—about $2.7 million off a projected $9 million in-house bill—and say privatization will lead to better care and staffing. Great! Which company? And how did privatization work out for the Santa Barbara County Jail? Oh yeah … more inmate deaths. Hopefully this won’t be the case in SLO County, but why not let the public know whom you’re considering awarding the contact to? As SLO County Counsel Rita Neal admitted, “Outsourcing is not the endall solution. There might be some sad outcomes because of the nature of the population the jail serves.” I think most local residents are sick of (pardon the pun) sad outcomes when it comes to SLO County Jail medical and mental health care. ∆ The Shredder will flip a Bird.

lose your eyes when Madeleine Peyroux sings and you can forget when and where you are. It could be a smoky French café in the 1930s, a bluesdrenched American juke joint in 1940s, or this Saturday, Sept. 22, in the Fremont Theater (9 p.m.; all ages; $36.10 to $59.56 at Boo Boo’s or fremontslo.com). Peyroux had a fairly peripatetic upbringing. Born to “hippie” parents in Athens, Georgia, she was raised in New York and California before her parents divorced when she was 13 and she and her mother moved to Paris. Today she lives in Brooklyn, though she said in a recent phone interview, “I travel so much I’m not super grounded to any one place.” What was it like to move to Paris at the difficult age of 13, arriving in a new country with a language she didn’t know? “I was not excited about it and I didn’t want to do it. We first moved to a suburb of Paris because it was close to international school,” Peyroux recalled. Classes were taught first in English and then again in French. “There were other kids from other countries, and none of us could speak French, but with 20 hours a week of instruction in French, I was moved into mainstream classes the next year,” she said. Being in Paris sounds wonderfully romantic, but as a teenager, Peyroux found it provincial and stifling. “We were in the suburbs at the edge of the city, which is basically a series of chateaus built all around the circle-egg of Paris,” she said. “We were a little past the chateaus in a small village, so I wasn’t in Paris right away and I didn’t like it until
I went to Paris for the first time, where I saw all these street musicians. I became fascinated and started going back to that neighborhood. At about 15, I started skipping school to sing in the streets.” It wasn’t until later that Peyroux had any formal training, which she sought out after she started losing her voice from all the touring and performing she was doing after the success of her first record, Dreamland (1996), which features songs such as Edith Piaf’s “La Vie en Rose” (written with Louiguy), Bessie Smith’s “Reckless Blues” (written with Jack Gee), and Patsy Cline’s “Walkin’ After Midnight” (written by Alan Block and Don Hecht). She still studies voice with Joan Leder of New York: “You know, she helps me stay in shape. Basically it’s a routine I have to keep up. The more you sing, the more you have to warm up and train during the day.” Peyroux’s real breakthrough album was her sophomore effort Careless Love (2004), which quickly sold half-a-million copies and contained more contemporary songs such as Leonard Cohen’s “Dance Me to the End of Love,” Bob Dylan’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go,” and Hank Williams’ “Weary Blues.” How does she select these cover songs? “It’s almost like half the job is finding and choosing the right songs, finding songs I connect to and then owning them and making a real commitment to venturing down the road with them,” Peyroux explained. “Nowadays I find it a little bit easier because I’ve been doing it so long, but the important thing is to find something I feel passionate about, some

way to communicate what the song means to me. Sometimes there’s a backstory I create to relate to, or sometimes the arrangement makes the song work. I can’t do the job if the song doesn’t say the things I want to say, or if I’m not in love with the storyline or characters. That’s why when I find a song I love and can connect with, a song I can sing well, I do it all the time.” And what about her own songwriting process? “It’s a lifelong discovery,” she said. “Songwriting is completely demanding. I don’t think at all that it’s the same thing as interpreting a song. It’s a very deep craft, which is why I often work with cowriters.” Her newest, Anthem, was produced and co-written by four-time Grammy winner Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Herbie
Hancock), who she’s co-written with in the past. What sort of show should people expect when she appears this weekend at the Fremont? “Right now, we’re going to be presenting songs on this recording in a traditional jazz context,” Peyroux said. “We’re a quintet, and I think the approach, in a way, is a pop approach. A lot of the great jazz standards were pop songs at the time. It’s more about the lyrics and the story, a story that’s a personal plea from one person to a whole bunch of other people, a personal message, a political message.” Anthem’s title track perfectly encompasses that sentiment and sounds like a classic American Songbook jazz standard with a contemporary twist: “The birds they sang at the break of day/ Start

THE CELTS ARE COMING Irish-American Celtic folk punk act Flogging Molly plays Avila Beach Golf Resort on Sept. 26.
TEXAS AF Country singersongwriter Mike Ryan plays BarrelHouse Brewing on Sept. 26.
INDIE DARLINGS Houndmouth brings their alt-blues, alt-country, Americana, folk, and indie rock to SLO Brew Rock on Sept. 25. STARKEY from page 30
again I heard them say/ Don’t dwell on what has passed away/ Or what is yet to be// Yeah the wars they will be fought again/ The holy dove she will be caught again/ Bought and sold and bought again/ The dove is never free// Ring the bells that still can ring/ Forget your perfect offering/ There is a crack in everything/ That’s how the light gets in.” Speaking of the Fremont Theater, the upcoming Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen show on Tuesday, Dec. 4, is almost sold out ($55 to $70 at eventbrite. com). If you want to go, buy now! Also this week at the Fremont, see Lauren Alaina on Friday, Sept. 21 (8:30 p.m.; all ages; $23.79 at Boo Boo’s or fremontslo.com). This is a Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents show, and Alaina was discovered on Season 10 of American Idol. The Dirty Heads show this, Tuesday, Sept. 25, is sold-out, but you might be able to get on a ticket waiting list (8 p.m.; 16-and-older; $47.25 at Boo Boo’s or fremontslo.com). Canadian electronic music trio Black Tiger Sex Machine plays the Fremont on Wednesday, Sept. 26 (9 p.m.; all ages; $27.31 at Boo Boo’s or fremontslo.com).
Rock the Rock
Houndmouth’s been called everything from an alt-blues to an alt-country to a folk and Americana and indie rock band, and I guess they’re all those things. They
were signed to Rough Trade in 2012 and have since delivered three engaging albums, most recently 2018’s Golden Age. SLO Brew Rock hosts indie darlings Houndmouth with Family of the Year this Tuesday, Sept. 25 (6 p.m.; 18-andolder; $24.25 at Boo Boo’s and slobrew. com). Likewise, Family of the Year just released their new album, Goodbye Sunshine, Hello Nighttime. FYI, British DJ/producer Codeko plays SLO Brew downtown on Wednesday, Sept. 26 (10 p.m.; 18-and-older; $20 at slobrew.com).
The Avila Beach Golf Resort, Ineffable Live, California Roots Presents, and Otter Productions Inc. present Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys this Wednesday, Sept. 26 (gates at 5 p.m.; all ages; $44.50 general admission or $86.50 VIP balcony at eventbrite.com). Jake Burns of Stiff Little Fingers will open. This should be an interesting show. The Irish-American Celtic folk punk act Flogging Molly has turned up the sociopolitical commentary level on their newest album, Life is Good, exploring— according to press materials—“politics, the economy, unemployment, planned boomtowns gone bust, immigration policies gone awry, and much more. For singer and lyricist Dave King, it may be the lyrical couplet contained within the surging ‘Reptiles (We Woke Up)’ that Farm Rd. Suite 110, San Luis Obispo.

Festival Mozaic seeks new director
Festival Mozaic announced the resignation of Executive Director Bettina Swigger, who has accepted the position of CEO at Downtown SLO, a nonprofit organization advocating for the economic and cultural relevance of downtown San Luis Obispo. Sept. 30 will be Swigger’s last day with Festival Mozaic, board President Jo Anne Miller said in a press release: “We are proud that she will continue to serve our community and look forward to continuing to work with her to champion the entire region as a place where the arts can flourish,” Miller said. The board of directors of Festival Mozaic has initiated a nationwide search for a new executive director and expects to make a decision before the 2019 Summer Festival, which is slated for July 24 through Aug. 4.

Book of the Year honors Ana Castillo
Cuesta College’s 2019 Book of the Year program celebrates its 11th year with Black Dove, Mama, Mi’jo and Me, a memoir by Mexican-American Chicana author Ana Castillo. The book is a collection of essays that cover pivotal experiences in Castillo’s life across three generations. A presentation and book-signing event will take place March 5, 2019, at the CPAC. Tickets go on sale on Feb. 1, 2019. “Leading up to the March event, cultural activities will take place throughout the county,” Program Coordinator Carina Love said in a release. “The events will touch on the book’s themes of family, biculturalism, bisexualism, careers in writing, and social injustice.” Details on these events will be announced in the coming months, Love added.

Americana photos awaken nostalgia at Studios
I
t all started with a bunch of old, broken-down cars. Paso Robles photographer Dean Crawford was telling a friend at a local photo guild meeting that he was looking to shoot some gorgeous, vintage, rusty vehicles. Fellow photographer, and at this point virtual stranger, Deb Hofstetter, overheard, leaned in, and said, “I know a place … .” That shoot went well, and three years later a love of photography and a sense of nostalgia for the past has cemented the duo’s friendship and led to the pair sharing a permanent gallery space at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles. “We like the same things, the subject, the style,” Crawford said. “I was impressed with how creative she was.” Hofstetter and Crawford’s Americana show—featuring photos of old cars, crumbling buildings, rundown movie theaters, Native Americans, horses, roosters, benches that have stood the test of time, and more—is currently on display at Studios through Sept. 30. When they aren’t showing work together, Crawford teaches photography classes through the city, and Hofstetter also specializes in wine photography for local clients like Ancient Peaks and Halter Ranch. They also did an Americana-themed show last year and brought it back due to its popularity. “Americana to me is like American icons, like the flag or things from the past,” Hofstetter said. “Old bikes, old barns, old delis … . It’s country, it’s rust. It evokes a sense of belonging. We all want to belong.” Years and years ago, when Hofstetter was a little girl, she lived on the same street as High Street Deli, back when it was just a market. To this day, the building still sports the same

door that Hofstetter would open on her way to buy candy. She captured the popular sandwich shop in her photo, Making Memories. “I went there all the time to get hot balls and cinnamon sticks,” Hofstetter said. “You drive around and you find these to shoot. You have to be aware.” Art regulars at Studios can quickly pick out which pieces were shot by Crawford. He’s known for using a variety of filters and sometimes using his graphic design background to bring a little something extra to the photo. In pieces like a photo of Mission

San Miguel, it almost looks not quite real. “When I get a photo, I don’t want to leave it like it is,” Crawford said. “I want to put my own touch on it. The main thing I hear is that, ‘That’s not a photo, it’s a painting.’” For Hofstetter the best moment isn’t necessarily when a client buys a photo, but the moment right before, when a client’s eyes land on a particular piece and they light up and say, “That photo, that’s so me.” “That they find that personal connection, that makes me feel successful as an artist,” she said. “All I want to do is just grow and become more creative.” Δ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is waxing nostalgic at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Pain and healing Paso Robles Art Association displays contrast in all forms
S
he had never painted—not really— and her hands were slowly getting weaker each and every day. Melodie Jordan had some leftover paint from finishing her Atascadero home. Within five months both her mom and niece had died, and she didn’t know what do with all her grief and sadness. So she picked up the can of paint, a brush, and an old painting bought from Goodwill, and got to work. The end result was a tempestuous sea landscape filled with calming shades of teal and blue alongside stormy blacks and grays. Several years later, Jordan is now a full-time professional artist who has never taken a lesson. In the midst of her heartbreak, Jordan said a voice inside told her, “I’m going to be your joy and your peace.” So far that statement is holding true. Aside from being self-taught, painting simply shouldn’t be easy for Jordan, who has a form of muscular dystrophy in her hands, making many tasks difficult. “I can hold a paintbrush, but putting the caps back on is hard,” Jordan said. “Painting has brought me so much joy.

It’s a trip.” Pieces by Jordan and other artists from the Paso Robles Art Association are currently on display as part of the Contrast show at Studios on the Park, with artists delivering contrast in all forms: photography, sculpture, glasswork, mixed media, painting, pastels, and digital art. Jordan often brings a multimedia aspect to her acrylic paintings, using artifacts like sand, beads, and puzzle pieces to create texture and contrast in the work. In her piece Ebb and Flow, Jordan makes use of contrast by painting two waves, one filled with blues, whites, and grays, the other composed of reds, yellows, and blues, with sand creating texture and depth at different sections of the waves. In the painting Golden Autumn, a grove of treetops appear busy and full from the use of beads, while their skinny painted trunks stand in stark comparison. “Out of sadness and sorrow, it felt like a gift that was given to me,” Jordan said of her relatively new craft. “None of it makes sense to me, but I’m riding a wave and I love it.”

TEXTURE In her work in pieces like Golden Autumn (above) and Ebb and Flow (below), Atascadero artist Melodie Jordan often uses beads, sand, and other materials to achieve an interesting texture that contrasts with her use of acrylic paints.
Jordan, who said she is inspired by her faith as a Christian, primarily creates abstract, impressionistic landscapes. She prays before beginning each piece, turns on some soothing music, mixes her paints, and thinks, “Just show me what to paint.” Soon, Jordan will need to use leg braces to move around, but she still has no plans to stop painting. “I paint because I get a chance to tell people what happened to me,” Jordan said. “It’s a love, an amazing all-over goodness.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is exploring the subtle differences between shimmer and glitter at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Set in 1959 England in a conservative East Anglian coastal town, the story pits free spirit widow Florence Green (Emily Mortimer) against local matriarch Violet Gamart (Patricia Clarkson), whose polite but ruthless ire is raised when Green opens a bookstore and starts pushing novels by Ray Bradbury and Vladimir Nabokov. Reclusive book-loving widower Edmund Brundish (Bill Nighy) takes up Green’s banner in the face of local opposition.

MOVIES from page 41 a novel. From the broad archetypal characters to the omniscient narrator offering exposition, The Bookshop feels like a book and a somewhat slow one at that. The film seems more interested in clinging to its source material than constructing an effective film. If that doesn’t put you off, what remains has its charms, chief among them Nighy, who’s fantastic as small town recluse Edmund. Nighy can play quiet nobility like nobody’s business. His interactions with Florence breathe life into the otherwise stodgy proceedings. He plays Brundish, a man who’s given up on humanity and prefers to spend his days in his manor house reading. In a note he sends to Florence asking her to send him books, he tells her he prefers to read autobiographies of good people but fiction about nasty people. Their May to December romance never moves beyond handholding, but it’s very sweet. Clarkson as Violet is all surface charm with underlying malevolence. She wields the men around her like her personal cudgels, from her husband General Gamart (Reg Wilson) to her personal minion, the effete and conniving dandy Milo North (a scenery-chewing James Lance). Violet makes it her mission to evict Florence and her bookshop from The Old House, a long-vacant stone building that Violet wants to use as a town art center. It’s not clear why it must be this particular property, which adds to the story’s forced contrivances. The other element of the story that adds a bit of life to the goings-on is precocious tween Christine (Honor Kneafsey), who works for Florence in the afternoons when school gets out. Christine is a livewire and not the least bit interested in reading, but she’s essential to the film’s conclusion, which is less than triumphant but satisfying nonetheless. Should you pony up the money to see this film in the theater? Yes, if you like mannered period films based on mannered period novels about people constrained by decorum. Florence is supposed to be a free spirit, and maybe by 1959 British standards she is, but this is more about how Florence inspires others than her overcoming convention. (113 min.) —Glen Starkey

What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Galaxy From director Marc Forster (Monster’s Ball, Finding Neverland, Stranger Than Fiction, The Kite Runner) comes this live-action adaptation of A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh characters that poses this question: What happens to Christopher Robin after he grows up? After decades of separation, everyone’s favorite Pooh bear makes a trek from the mythical Hundred Acre Wood into the real world to find out what’s become of his old, lost friend. In a nutshell, it’s Winnie-the-Pooh meets Hook. In fact, the two films’ protagonists and their arcs are virtually identical. The adult Christopher (Ewan McGregor, Moulin Rouge!, Big Fish) is an overworked father who alienates himself from his wife (Hayley Atwell, Captain America: The First Avenger, Agent Carter) and daughter (Bronte Carmichael) by spending too much time at the office. In the same way Hook ’s adult Peter Pan had to return to Neverland to rediscover his long-lost inner child, so must Christopher to the Hundred Acre Wood. (120 min.) —Caleb Wiseblood

Boudreaux), and I’m pretty sure the script is the product of a four-hour quaalude binge. The film crew seemed to be fine with all of this because the only reason you are watching is to see JCVD kill like five dudes while standing up on a speeding motorcycle, even though no one is driving it, and it doesn’t make any sense. What’s in a name anyway? John Woo directed the movie, but I don’t really feel the need to tell you that because there are more doves flying across the screen than there is coherent dialogue, and every single villain at some point wears a black leather jacket. This may be an exaggeration. It may not be. But Hard Target doesn’t care. And neither should you. This was Woo’s first foray into the American film market. He was already an established star for his martial arts films in Hong Kong and this was a chance for him to work with high-powered American talent. Woo originally asked for Kurt Russell to be the lead, so, of course, Universal gave him a 5-foot-10 Belgian whose specialty is high kicks and the splits. Not that this is a bad thing. Oh yeah, the creepy guy that raised JCVD in the woods outside the Big Easy? Wilford Brimley, the dude asking you to check your blood sugar in between showcase showdowns on the Price is Right. He’s in it too. Except here, Woo and his fellow filmmakers expect us to believe that he’s a native cajun living in the backwoods and we are, for whatever reason, not supposed to laugh at his outlandish outfits or anything he says in a thick (and very fake) accent. The first time I saw Hard Target I told my friend, “There is no way it could be dumber than Face/ Off” (another Woo film). I was wrong. John Woo continues to surpass himself, time and time again.

After learning the fundamentals of sorcery, and with the help of neighbor Mrs. Zimmerman (Cate Blanchette), the trio sets about locating and dismantling a clock built by evil warlock Isaac Izard (Kyle MacLachlan), which has the power to destroy the world.

memorable scenes, JCVD catches a snake trying to bite him in the throat with his bare hands. He ties the serpent into a sailor knot and pins it to a tree as a booby trap for bad guys following him. If this sounds stupid to you, then you have not been paying attention and maybe you should stop what you are doing and watch Hard Target right now. I think Brimley as Uncle Douvee is really my favorite character. He drinks homemade alcohol so strong it kills grass on contact (but he still offers to share with everyone). He can also fire a bow and arrow accurately up to hundreds of yards away. At one point, he blows up his own illegal moonshine still to kill a bunch of bad guys, and then rides away epically from the explosion on horseback. It’s a scene I still have trouble describing. Uncle Douvee is like a hillbilly cajun Liam Neeson, except you can’t understand anything he says and you’re pretty sure he just called your mother something awful in French. The villains in the film are pretty run of the mill. (Well, except for the hunting-homeless-peopleout-of-sheer-boredom thing. That kind of feels unique.) Arnold Vosloo (who plays the mummy in the 1999 remake with Brendan Fraser) is the righthand man to Lance Henriksen’s character, the rich guy who likes to hunt the homeless. Both of them give serviceable performances, given the material they have to work with. Hard Target is a derivative, confusing, mess of a movie. But for some reason, it works. It’s one of the funniest films I’ve ever sat through. And even though I’m pretty sure that wasn’t Woo’s or the studio’s intention, it gets two spinning roundhouse kicks of approval from this corner.

CUCKOO’S NEST A group of mentally disturbed soldiers—(right to left) Lynch (Alfie Allen), Coyle (Keegan-Michael Key), Baxley (Thomas Jane), Nettles (Augusto Aguilera), Quinn (Boyd Holbrook), and Nebraska (Trevante Rhodes)—take on an alien trophy hunter, in the illogical sequel, The Predator.
MOVIES from page 42 Pierre Morel (District B13, Taken, The Gunman) directs Chad St. John’s (London Has Fallen) action-thriller script about a young mother (Jennifer Garner) with nothing to lose, out to avenge the deaths of her husband and daughter who were killed in a drive-by shooting. Welcome to the end-of-summer dumping ground, where terrible films go to try to squeeze the last few bucks out of the filmgoing public. Peppermint had potential. Pierre Morel directed the wildly successful 2008 Liam Neeson vehicle Taken, which injected effective emotion and real drama into the often-tired action genre. Sticking a strong female lead like Garner into a vigilante role usually reserved for a male star might have added a feminist twist to the proceedings. But alas, Morel’s direction is pretty standard and wholly underwhelming, especially in close-quarter fight scenes that worked so well with Neeson in Taken. Instead of a female lead turning the action genre on its head, we basically get a woman in a man’s role acting just like a man. Sure, there’s a little subplot with
Garner’s Riley North acting as guardian angel to the residents of Los Angeles’ skid row, but nothing much is made of it. There’s even less made of the 5-year backstory in which Riley, after the death of her family and being denied justice by a corrupt system, goes on a world tour where she supposedly learned all manner of combat techniques. The entire backstory is given mere minutes and one video clip of her cage fighting in some Asian country. This feels like fly-by-night, in-and-out, no-time-for-second-takes filmmaking. Part of the story has to do with the two LAPD detectives working Riley’s case—Stan Carmichael (John Gallagher Jr.) and Moises Beltran (John Ortiz)—who worked both her family’s murders and the vigilante killings she commits upon her return five years later. There’s a bit of intrigue concerning dirty cops within the LAPD, and to further convolute the proceedings, FBI Agents Lisa Inman (Annie Ilonzeh) and Agent Li (Eddie Shin) also join the investigation after Riley kills Judge Stevens (Jeff Harlan), who corruptly let the original killers go free. As for those drug-dealing gangbangers who’ve become Riley’s targets, it’s hard to keep track of who’s who or to even care.
Aside from distinctive-looking character actor Richard Cabral, the bad guys are interchangeable Hispanic men. Even the drug kingpin Diego Garcia (Juan Pablo Raba) is forgettable. The gulf between the Rotten Tomatoes’ critic and audience score is vast—14 percent critics to 82 percent audience—so clearly some viewers are liking Peppermint even if critics aren’t. If you’re a Jennifer Garner fan or you love revenge flicks, maybe this is worth a trip to the theater, but I’d have been fine waiting for it to show up on Netflix. It’s wholly forgettable.

The only thing that stands between the predator and the end of humanity is a group of ex-soldiers, led by Rory’s dad, Quinn (Boyd Holbrook), and surly biology teacher Casey Bracket (Olivia Munn), who joins the fight. To answer the obvious question, no, this new installment is nowhere near as good as the 1987 original, though it tries for a similar formula—a ragtag group of irreverent and wisecracking soldiers, an attractive but tough woman who gets caught up in the violence, and a seriously badass and tech-equipped alien trophy hunter. To up the emotional ante, this film adds in a highly intelligent kid with a protective soldier father. The setup is simple. Quinn is on an op in Mexico to take out drug cartel bad guys and rescue some hostages. Instead, a Predator craft crash-lands and Quinn is the only man to make it out alive. He takes a Predator helmet and forearm-mounted weapon as proof of his alien encounter, then mails it home, where it ends up in his son Rory’s hands. Quinn is picked up by the authorities led by Traeger (Sterling K. Brown), questioned, and then sent away with a group of psyche ward soldiers to keep him quiet. Meanwhile, science teacher Casey is brought to the same secret facility where Quinn was held, which also contains a captured Predator. A bigger and meaner Predator shows up, and things turn into a convoluted mess. The film quickly devolves into incoherent nonsense, where the logic of time and geography is ignored in favor of keeping the action flowing. Sure, the clever quips come fast and furious, and there’s plenty of action and violence, but taken as a whole, it’s utter inanity. The cuckoo’s nest of crazy soldiers, their interaction with one another as well as Casey, breathes some life into the film. But it’s not enough to overcome the illogical stupidity of it all, and the film has the audacity to tee up a sequel. I think I’d rather be eviscerated by a Predator than sit through another installment. (107 min.) —Glen Starkey

RIPE AND READY Heirloom tomatoes are at peak ripeness in Hayley’s SLO garden and at Windrose Farm in Paso Robles. If you didn’t get a chance to grow your own this year, you might want to head to Paso for the annual Heirloom Tomato Festival, where the bounty is downright bodacious. Presented in partnership with FARMstead ED, the fest kicks off Saturday, Sept. 22, with more than 30 varieties ripe for the tasing.
Slice and savor Say so long summer with the Heirloom Tomato Festival’s juiciest bounty on Sept 22
Y
ou might need a bib for this one. Windrose Farm’s annual Tomato Festival love-in is slated for Sept. 22 and 23 at the Paso Robles farm, located at 5750 El Pharo Road. If you’ve never been to this unique patch of land, you’re missing out on (at least what I believe to be) heaven on earth. Not only is the farm beautiful, it’s healthy. Nourished by the ghost of an ancient creek, these biodynamically farmed fields have been feeding your favorite farm-to-table restaurants for years because farmers Bill and Barbara Spencer have been feeding the land, naturally. Explore greenhouses and wave hello to the many sheep. Hear birds chirping overhead. Camp in the apple orchard. And, as it is September, get your fill of juicy vine-ripened heirloom tomatoes of all colors and flavors. Saturday, Sept. 22, is the festival free-for-all: Hang out from 2 to 5 p.m., taste more than 30 varieties of tomatoes, and stay for the local chefs and purveyors, who have turned Windrose Farm tomatoes and produce into the freshest early fall bites.
Taste the rainbow
For more information about the Windrose Farm Heirloom Tomato Festival presented in conjunction with FARMstead ED, go to farmsteaded.com or call (805) 226-2081.
The FARMstead ED Pop-up Marketplace and Windrose Farm Stand will be open and selling much of the flavorful fare and products you’re grazing on, by the way. If it’s not already sold out, look into the Sunday, Sept. 22, dinner at the farm, featuring a tour and food prepared by Chefs Roxana Jullapat and Daniel Mattern from East Hollywood’s Friends & Family, David Wilcox of Journeymen (now Hail Mary Pizza) in LA, and local Chef Tim Veatch of Wayward Bread Co. in Los Osos. If you can’t attend the festival this year, you can still grab a knife and slice your own. Sprinkle on the sea salt and fresh cracked pepper; maybe add a few sprigs of basil. Get comfortable (and grab a napkin). Let these words, ripped from the pages of my own garden journal, fill your belly with the last rays of summer sun.

The heirloom whisperer
After a few years of growing dozens of heirloom tomato plants, I can say two things without a doubt. One, they are by far the most rewarding thing I will ever grow, and two, they are great conversationalists. Yes, I’ve started talking to them. And they’ve been talking to me. Maybe this is the result of the writer’s life (devoid of human contact and short on showers) or maybe it’s just me growing into the inevitable earth mama every punk rock teen is destined to become— because, let’s face it, life should be full of moments of poetic justice that make our parents chuckle. Anyway, the 10 or so plants I bought at the Cal Poly plant sale this year are chattering at me. If you grow heirlooms you might know what I’m talking about. Like dogs or spouses, you begin to take on each other’s characteristics. And, in the throes of September, I—and my plants— are exhausted yet fruitful. The sun golds and cherry varieties have released most of their promise, but the later ripening varieties are still pumping out all the juiciness I’d wanted to manifest in January, when my journal was new and the horizon looked bright. In winter, my dreams started taking shape; quietly at first, as I turned my last batch of compost and smoothed it over the
garden. I planted my specific hopes in the spring, greedy with a million intentions. I used the water saved from the winter, sitting in a giant drum under the plum tree, knowing I only had so much to give, so much to delegate. There are only 24 hours in a day. Still I wrestled with my ego. Both in my life and my kitchen, I wanted all the things: tomato compotes, salsas, and sliced chunks glistening with olive oil and vinegar, pizzas, sloppy grilled cheese sandwiches, gazpacho, and the cover of Bon Appetite magazine. At our peak, most of these fantasies actually did come to fruition (save for the magazine spread), but as summer came and went, I had to celebrate what ripened and let go of what could not. I lost some of these dreams to rot, some to chickens, and some stayed green on the vine till they shriveled. What had started out as a galaxy of tiny yellow flowers—of endless possibilities—had collided with reality. Of course, this led to some big surprises (and some monster Cherokee purples). The end of summer, and the beginning of fall, is my favorite time of year. I still have a nice manageable harvest of tomatoes a few times a week, but I’m savoring them more, knowing it’s the end of an era. I’m also looking at the horizon, checking the soil, ready to cut back the FLAVOR continued page 46

old dried-up growth with abandon. Like the tomatoes, my roots have grown out, my stamina for sun and fun and productivity is nearing a cliff. I’m more inclined to make a moody tomato sauce that bubbles for hours, even days, than a breezy heirloom-watermelon salad with quinoa. As I look out over the plants in the chilly September morning light, vines still green but showing a tinge of gold, I know that I’ve produced all that I possibly could have, and let go of what died along the way. I did not do this in spite of those struggles, but because of it. Every loss only added to the final bounty, diverting precious water to the fruit that truly needed nourishment. What we’ve produced has been delicious. ∆

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: October 2, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Craig S. Ainsworth 1103 Johnson Ave., Suite C San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 September 6, 13, & 20, 2018

The validation judgment specifically authorized the financing of the construction or installation of the improvements, the issuance of limited obligation improvement bonds, the initial establishment and the subsequent expansion of the program area within which contractual assessments may be offered to include cities and counties throughout California, and the placement and collection by WRCOG of assessments on the tax roll of those counties within which participating cities and counties are located. WRCOG is now seeking to amend the validation judgment to expand the California HERO Program to include the cities of Milpitas, Petaluma, Pismo Beach, Pleasanton, and the town of Truckee.

secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $215,788.15 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Imagine you get three wishes on one condition: They can’t benefit you directly, but have to be wished on someone else’s behalf. Freewillastrology.com.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The flower doesn’t dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.” So says poet and philosopher Mark Nepo in The Book of Awakening. Now I’m transmitting his observation to you. I hope it will motivate you to expend less energy fantasizing about what you want and devote more energy to becoming the beautiful, useful, irresistible presence that will attract what you want. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to make plans to produce very specific blossoms.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Budi Waseso, the former head of the Indonesian government’s anti-narcotics division, had a radical plan to prevent escapes by people convicted of drug-related crimes. He sought to build detention centers that would be surrounded by moats filled with crocodiles and piranhas. But his replacement, Heru Winarko, has a different approach. He wants addicts and dealers to receive counseling in comfortable rehabilitation centers. I hope that in the coming weeks, as you deal with weaknesses, flaws, and sins—both your own and others’—you’ll opt for an approach more like Winarko’s than Waseso’s.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In one sense, a “patron saint” is a Catholic saint who is a heavenly advocate for a person, group, activity, thing, or place. St. Jude is the patron saint of lost causes, for instance. St. Francis of Assisi is the guardian of animal welfare, and St. Kentigern is the protector against verbal abusers. “Patron saint” may also be invoked poetically to refer to a person who serves as a special guide or influence. For example, in one of his short stories, Nathaniel Hawthorne refers to a veteran nurse as “the patron saint of young physicians.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to fantasize about persons, groups, activities, things, or places for whom you might be the patron saint. To spur your imagination, here are some appropriate possibilities. You could be the patron saint of the breeze at dawn; of freshly picked figs; of singing humorous love songs in the sunlight; of unpredictable romantic adventures; of life-changing epiphanies while hiking in nature; of soul-stirring music.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): In August 1933, author Virginia Woolf wrote a critical note to her friend, the composer Ethel Smyth, lamenting her lack of emotional subtlety. “For you,” Woolf told Smyth, “either things are black, or they’re white; either they’re sobs or shouts—whereas, I always glide from semitone to semi-tone.” In the coming weeks, fellow Cancerian, you may encounter people who act like Smyth. But it will be your sacred duty, both to yourself and to life, to remain loyal and faithful to the rich complexity of your feelings.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “People think of education as something they can finish,” said writer and scientist Isaac Asimov, who wrote or edited over 500 books. His point was that we’re wise to be excited about learning new lessons as long as we’re on this earth. To cultivate maximum vitality, we should always be engaged in the processes of absorbing new knowledge and mastering new skills and deepening our understanding. Does that sound appealing to you, Leo? I hope so, especially in the coming weeks, when you will have an enhanced ability to see the big picture of your future needs for education.
Buffet’s 2017. I’m not predicting your earnings will increase by 83 percent. But 15 percent isn’t unreasonable. So start planning how you’ll do it!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As he stepped up to use an ATM in a supermarket, a Scottish man named Colin Banks found £30 (about $40 U.S.) that the person who used the machine before him had inadvertently neglected to take. But rather than pocketing it, Banks turned it in to a staff member, and eventually the cash was reunited with its proper owner. Shortly after performing his good deed, Banks won £50,000 (about $64,500 U.S.) in a game of chance. It was instant karma in dramatic action—the positive kind! My analysis of the astrological omens reveals that you’re more likely than usual to benefit from expeditious cosmic justice like that. That’s why I suggest you intensify your commitment to doing good deeds.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As you dive down into your soul’s depths in quest for renewal, remember this testimony from poet Scherezade Siobhan: “I want to dig out what is ancient in me, the mistaken-for-monster ... and let it teach me how to be unafraid again.” Are you brave and brazen enough to do that yourself? It’s an excellent time to douse your fear by drawing wild power from the primal sources of your life. To earn the right to soar through the heights in November and December, delve as deep as you can in the coming weeks.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to author Elizabeth Gilbert, here’s “the central question upon which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?” When I read that thought, my first response was, why are the treasures hidden? Shouldn’t they be completely obvious? My second response was, why do you need courage to bring forth the treasures? Shouldn’t that be the easiest and most enjoyable task imaginable? Everything you just read is a perfect riddle for you to contemplate during the next 14 months, Sagittarius.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A blogger named Sage Grace offers her readers a list of “cool things to call me besides cute.” They include dazzling, alluring, sublime, magnificent, and exquisite. Is it OK if I apply those same adjectives to you, Capricorn? I’d like to add a few more, as well: resplendent, delightful, intriguing, magnetic, and incandescent. I hope that in response you don’t flinch with humility or protest that you’re not worthy of such glorification. According to my astrological analysis, now is one of those times when you deserve extra appreciation for your idiosyncratic appeal and intelligence. Tell your allies and loved ones that I said so. Inform them, too, that giving you this treatment could help mobilize one of your half-asleep potentials.
AQUARIUS
VIRGO
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many educated Americans and Europeans think of reincarnation as a loony delusion, even though it’s a cornerstone of spiritual belief for over 1.5 billion earthlings. I myself regard it as a hypothesis worthy of intelligent consideration, although I’d need hundreds of pages to explain my version of it. However you imagine it, Aquarius, you now have extra access to knowledge and skills and proclivities you possessed in what we might refer to as your “past lives”— especially in those past lives in which you were an explorer, maverick, outlaw, or pioneer. I bet you’ll feel freer and more experimental than usual during the next four weeks.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo businessman Warren Buffet is among the top five wealthiest people on the planet. In an average year, his company Berkshire Hathaway adds $36 billion to its already swollen coffers. But in 2017, thanks to the revision of the U.S. tax code by President Trump and his buddies, Buffet earned $65 billion—an increase of 83 percent over his usual haul. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re entering a year-long phase when your financial chances could have a mild resemblance to
(Feb. 19-March 20): “When the winds of change blow,” says a Chinese proverb, “some people build walls while others build windmills.” Since the light breezes of change may soon evolve into brisk gusts of change in your vicinity, I wanted to bring this thought to your attention. Will you be more inclined to respond by constructing walls or windmills? I don’t think it would be foolish for you to favor the walls, but in the long run I suspect that windmills would serve you better. ∆
