arty Holland knelt at Jesse Cutburth’s feet and began untying the rope that bound his legs to a generic-looking chair with a metal frame. Carty’s nephew, James Tavener Holland, worked to undo the rope around Cutburth’s arms and torso.

They came loose. Cutbruth stood. The three men hugged and Cutbruth stepped away from the chair he’d spent the last two hours sitting in.

“I’m free,” he said.

Cutbruth was one of 23 individuals who spent the last two days taking turns sitting tied to the chair in front of the San Luis Obispo County Courthouse to raise public awareness about the death of Andrew Holland, a schizophrenic man who died in SLO County Jail last year after being strapped into a restraint chair for 46 hours. The protest began March 17 and ended March 19, with individuals continually sitting in the chair through the day and night in twohour shifts.

“It just hit me all over again how long and mercilessly my son sat in this chair,” Carty, Andrew’s father, told the crowd that gathered outside the courthouse.

The protest was sparked by the publication of long withheld jail surveillance camera footage of Andrew’s stay in the chair and subsequent death. The SLO Tribune published portions of the footage on March 16. The scenes directly contradict statements made by the Sheriff’s Office following the death, including that Andrew was “found unresponsive” in a cell.

Instead, the footage shows correctional officers watching as Holland writhed on the floor of his cell shortly after being released from his lengthy stay in the chair, where he was placed naked with nothing but a blanket and not allowed to get up to use the restroom. The footage, which has no sound, also shows what appears to be a jail deputy smiling and laughing as he stands with other staff near Andrew’s body.

The video’s release reignited public outrage and renewed calls for SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson, who is currently running for reelection, to resign. Shortly after the footage

was made public, Parkinson responded in a written statement. According to Parkinson, the Sheriff’s Office contacted county Behavioral Health multiple times to request a transfer to the county’s psychiatric care facility, but it was refused. The agency claimed there were no beds available. Parkinson said that the claim was untrue and added that two doctors failed to adopt a plan to involuntarily sedate him.

“The Sheriff’s Office had no alternative other than to place Mr. Holland in restraints,” Parkinson’s statement read.

James Tavener pushed back on those assertions in an interview with New Times at the March 19 protest, stating that Parkinson had taken “no responsibility” for Andrew’s death.

“It was custody that put Andrew in that chair; it was custody that controlled whether he got released,” he said. “They could have saved his life.”

The statement did little to quell protesters and critics. On March 20, a group of protesters carrying signs and a man on a stretcher partly covered with an “I am Andrew Holland” banner

shut down the morning session of the SLO County Board of Supervisors regular meeting.

The group of about 15 interrupted the meeting just after 9 a.m. and stood silently at the front of the board’s chambers. Board Chairman John Peschong called for a 10-minute break, while the protesters remained in their positions. When the board returned from the break, Peschong asked the protesters to step down, but they refused. Peschong then adjourned the meeting until 1:30 p.m. The group exited the building chanting, “How do you spell guilty? I-A-N.” For the Hollands, the very public response to the video’s release was heartening, a sign that the message they’d been publicly and vocally making since their son’s death is being heard.

“It’s not just one voice crying in the darkness,” Sharon, Andrew’s mother, told the crowd gathered in front of the courthouse on March 19. “We are going to have a choir here, and this is exactly what is necessary to have the types of changes that need to happen.”

SLO to hire consultant to vet cannabis applications

applications. That criteria will eventually go to the City Council for approval.

Once the SLO City Council adopts a new cannabis ordinance and starts accepting business applications on July 1, the consultant will be tasked with vetting them as they’re received.

“Once an applicant is qualified and ranked, it would then be eligible to apply for a city commercial cannabis activity permit as authorized by the qualification,” the staff report stated.

As part of the contract, the consultant will also advise code enforcement, public safety, and the city attorney’s office regarding “overall city oversight of cannabis business activities,” as well as community outreach and education efforts, that include developing “materials on the topic of safe and responsible adult use of cannabis,” according to the staff report.

En route to adopting cannabis regulations that will likely allow storefront dispensaries and a variety of other cannabis-related businesses, the city of San Luis Obispo is seeking a consultant to help it vet applications.

On March 20, the SLO City Council gave authorization to City Manager Derek Johnson to award a contract not exceeding $35,000 for “cannabis business regulation” and “education support” services. Johnson will issue a request for proposals and then select the “top” consultant, according to a March 20 city staff report.

The consultant will assist staff in writing the guidelines for “qualifying” a hopeful cannabis business, the point system used to rank applicants against one another, and vetting the

“The safe decommissioning of Diablo is intricately linked to retaining skilled workers, so we don’t see a degradation of the workforce while the plant is still operating,” Monning told New Times. “It’s a public safety issue that goes beyond the boundaries of SLO County.”

Monning and Cunningham’s next steps are to convince their colleagues in Sacramento to feel the same way. Both legislators indicated that pushing the bill through the Senate, Assembly, and governor would be an uphill battle that could require some compromise.

“You rarely get everything you ask for in state legislation. I’ve learned that already,” Cunningham said. “We’re asking for everything, and we’ll see what we have to do. Some bill at the end of the day that gets some mitigation money to the Central Coast is better than the status quo.”

Costs for the consultant contract will be reimbursed to the city through cannabis application fees.

The latest draft of SLO’s cannabis ordinance allows for three storefront dispensaries, deliveries, indoor cultivation, and nonvolatile manufacturing. It prohibits cannabis events and onsite consumption, outdoor commercial cultivation, and volatile manufacturing.

The city Planning Commission will hold a two-day hearing on March 28 and 29 to make recommendations to the City Council regarding the ordinance.

Grover talks funding its fire service The Grover Beach City Council joined neighboring cities Arroyo Grande and Oceano in a conversation about how to fund their joint fire department at its March 19 meeting.

The Five Cities Fire Authority, which currently can’t meet staffing requirements, services the three communities.

Fire Chief Stephen Lieberman has proposed transitioning from reserve firefighters to full-time firefighters to both city councils and the community services district that serves Oceano.

It’s a transition that would cost. Grover Beach spent $1.4 million on fire for the 2017-18 fiscal year, Arroyo Grande chipped in $2 million, and Oceano put up $808,530.

To maintain current fire and emergency services, it’s estimated that Grover Beach’s costs would increase by $200,000. That doesn’t include an additional $100,000 cost that could come if Five Cities Fire transitions to full-time firefighters.

“I’m trying to provide consistent [service] levels to our communities because I live here as well,” Lieberman said. “I’m paying the rate as well.”

The meeting ended with council directing staff to prepare a budget that provides the $300,000 necessary to move forward with the proposed plan and work with partner agencies to modify the joint powers agreement as needed.

In order for Five Cities Fire to move forward with the transition, it must have a unanimous vote from all three communities.

“If we are unable to get a unanimous vote on the budget, then we give staff direction to work with the chief and legal counsel to identify if there’s opportunities for sidebar agreements to ensure that we have minimum staffing at Grover Beach,” Grover Beach Mayor John Shoals said.

The sole public commenter, Patrick Ferguson, echoed the call for City Council to consider the proposed transition.

Ferguson is president of the International Association of Firefighters Local 4403. He said the growing community—business, residence, infrastructure, and now the cannabis industry—has a direct impact on the department’s ability to provide a level of service to the area.

“At the end of the day that’s what this is about, our capacity to provide a level of service to the community,” Ferguson said. “We just want to say to you we need assistance moving forward with providing that level of service to your constituents and to your community.”

Pismo settles on spot for pier bathrooms Members of the Pismo Beach City Council breathed a collective sigh of relief on March 20, finally settling the contentious issue of just where to put bathroom facilities at the city’s newly renovated pier.

After two other options for potty placement were scrapped due to divided public opinion last month, the council voted unanimously on a third option developed by city staff and the RRM Design Group.

“I think we are all ecstatic,” Mayor Ed Waage said. “We struggled, but we have something we can be proud of.”

Initially, the city mulled two possible locations for the restrooms. One would have placed a facility at the northeast corner of the pier’s parking lot and another at its south end. The second option would have put a bathroom on each side of the pier’s entrance. But local residents and city hoteliers clashed over which option was best at a Feb. 20 meeting, leading the council to vote 3-2 to send city staff back to the drawing board.

The new plans will instead move the toilets to the northwest, about 70 feet from the current restrooms. The new bathrooms will also be placed at an angle to preserve the Pomeroy Avenue view of the beach and pier.

“It opens up the view of the pier dramatically,” said Debbie Rudd, a representative from RRM. The new bathroom facility will be larger than the current one, providing a total of 18 stalls. Those include 10 women’s stalls, six men’s stalls, and two “family” stalls. The newly designed facility will reduce parking spots for cars at the pier plaza from 124 to 119, but Rudd said an additional six spaces for motorcycles could be added.

The revised plans appeared to smooth over some of the friction in the community, with both residents and members of the hotel and tourism industry giving their approval.

“I think this is a good alternative,” Pismo resident Don Day told the council.

6 • New Times • March 22 - March 29, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

Mark Eads, president of the Pismo Beach Hospitality Association, agreed.

“I think it’s something that will be very beneficial to all residents,” he said.

With the placement approved, the city will continue to refine the design of the bathrooms, which are part of an $8.7 million pier renovation project.

State reps introduce Diablo Canyon impact mitigation bill Aiming to reverse a decision made by state regulators earlier this year, state Senator Bill Monning (D-Carmel) and Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) have co-authored legislation to preserve a settlement struck between PG&E and SLO County agencies to lighten the economic hit of Diablo Canyon Power Plant’s closure.

Senate Bill 1090 would require the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to approve $85 million in community mitigation funds—which the PUC denied in January while signing off on the Diablo Canyon decommission.

Paid for by PG&E ratepayers, the $85 million would be split between SLO County, local cities, and the San Luis Coastal Unified School District (SLCUSD) and used to address the looming loss of the plant’s estimated $1 billion annual surge to local governments and the economy.

“It’s basic fairness,” Cunningham told New Times. “Diablo’s provided, for almost three decades, a base load of energy to our state—at one point 10 to 12 percent of the total energy grid. In doing that, we’ve enjoyed the benefits of employment, but everyone who’s lived in SLO County has a bit of risk. ... [The mitigation money] is a very small amount and purchases some insurance, both for our economy and our public safety, so SLO County can have a smooth transition to the post-Diablo era.”

In addition to securing the local funds, SB 1090 would add $141 million to a $242 million employee retention package approved by the PUC. It also requires that the PUC avoid any greenhouse gas

Sheriff’s Office, jail receive threats in wake of Holland footage release The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office received death threats after the media released video footage of the death of a mentally ill inmate.

In an emailed response to questions from New Times, Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tony Cipolla said the department has received “numerous” threats directed at specific individuals and jail custody staff since March 16.

That’s the same day the SLO Tribune published portions of jail surveillance footage of Andrew Holland, an Atascadero man who died in the jail after being strapped into a restraint chair for 46 hours in January 2017.

“We believe they are related to the Holland video because of the nature of the threats, and they began on Friday when the video was released.” Cipolla wrote.

The footage of Holland’s death shows deputies watching as Holland writhes and loses consciousness while lying on the floor of his cell shortly after being released from the chair. A later portion of the video shows a custody deputy smiling and laughing while standing with other staff around Holland’s body.

Angry comments, including some aimed at the jail staff, flooded the Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page.

“You employ some sick, sadistic individuals,” one commenter wrote.

“You’ll get your due. One way or another.”

Cipolla said the threats were phoned in. As of March 21, the threats were under investigation, but no arrests had been made. Meanwhile, security around the Sheriff’s Office and county jail was tightened.

“We have a duty and a moral obligation to protect our employees from harm,” Cipolla said.

On March 20, the Sheriff’s Office called in a bomb task force after a suspicious package was discovered near the front door of the jail. Visitors at the jail were evacuated, and the street in front of the jail was closed to traffic while the task force examined the package. Δ —Chris Mcguinness

Lake Nacimiento residents and Monterey officials clash over fire rebuilds and water releases

R

esidents of Cal Shasta, a community on the southwestern shores of Lake Nacimiento, are waiting on Monterey County officials to determine if they’ll be allowed to rebuild homes destroyed by the Chimney Fire nearly two years ago.

Seven of the 27 homes scorched in Cal Shasta—the hardest hit lakeside village in the 2016 blaze that toppled 49 homes in total—are located below Lake Nacimiento’s 825-foot elevation mark, where the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) owns a floodage easement running the perimeter of the reservoir.

While fire victims above the 825foot line can seek rebuilding permits from SLO County, those below it have been subjected to an effort to halt redevelopment by the MCWRA. Agency officials are recommending a new policy that would ban “any new construction within the MCWRA easement, even for reasons of fire damage relief.”

“The MCWRA easement area is necessary for properly operating and maintaining the Nacimiento Reservoir and its facilities owned by MCWRA,” stated a staff report for a March 19 board of directors meeting.

The MCWRA board voted to defer a decision on the policy to the agency’s board of supervisors. Cal Shasta Club President Steve Demsher told New Times he and several other lake residents attended the meeting to speak in opposition to the policy.

“These people who paid a premium to live on the lake—paid taxes for 40 to 50 years, were insured—are now being told by Monterey County you can’t put [a house] back,” Demsher said. “They are vested structures.”

More than 100 other structures around Lake Nacimiento are also located within Monterey’s easement, according to Demsher, including a Monterey County ranger station.

While MCWRA did not return requests for comment from New Times, Demsher said agency officials have expressed concern about a statewide crackdown on dam and

reservoir safety following the Oroville Dam emergency last year.

“They’ve built a tremendous amount of stuff in there,” Demsher said. “They’re afraid the state will say, ‘your inundation area isn’t free and clear.’”

The staff report references recent meetings with the state Division of Safety of Dams and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission where those agencies “requested immediate assurance as to whether all regulations and project boundary terms are being followed.”

As rationales for the construction ban, MCWRA cites needing “flexibility to accommodate future reservoir related projects; control of storm water runoff into the reservoir; maintenance of an open space; containment of future flooding and provisions for detention, and accommodation of present recreation uses.”

Demsher said the Cal Shasta Club would consider taking legal action against the MCWRA if the ban is approved by its board of supervisors.

While the seven homeowners below the lake’s 825-foot marker face the most uncertainty, the Chimney Fire recovery effort as a whole has been a slog for nearly everyone, according to lake residents. SLO County has issued just one building permit in Cal Shasta since the fire, Demsher said. The community was asked to certify its well water system and upgrade other infrastructure prior to rebuilding.

“It’s just been a horrible, horrible struggle,” said Cheryl Dodge, whose Cal Shasta home was the first to burn in the Chimney Fire.

Water releases

Tensions between Nacimiento residents and Monterey County extend far beyond Cal Shasta and the Chimney Fire recovery.

More than 2,700 people recently signed a Nacimiento Regional Water Management Advisory Committee (NRWMAC) petition in opposition to Monterey County’s proposed “water release” schedule for the reservoir this year.

Per a Feb. 15 draft of the schedule presented at a reservoir operations

FIRE VICTIMS STYMIED Monterey County may prevent seven victims of the 2016 Chimney Fire in Lake Nacimiento from rebuilding homes due to their location in a county floodage easement.

committee meeting, where NRWMAC has a seat, MCWRA plans to dump 400 cubic feet of water per second—or 2,992 gallons— out of Nacimiento and into the Salinas River between April and July. The result, according to the plan, will be a more than 40-foot drop in the lake’s elevation by July.

It’s an “unprecedented” proposal, according to NRWMAC’s petition.

Community members are concerned that the plan will leave the lake’s marina and most boat ramps dry by summertime, and negatively impact recreation and the local economy.

“There will be no gas available at the Marina, the resort will be forced to layoff personnel, and many docks and most launch ramp around the lake will be unusable,” the petition reads.

NRWMAC board members and SLO County 1st District Supervisor John Peschong told New Times that MCWRA didn’t give the committee an explanation for the release plan.

“I’m still trying to understand the reason why they’re doing it,” Peschong said, adding that he’s concerned about lake safety during the summer when recreation hits its peak.

According to NRWMAC, the petition will be presented to the State Water Board, the SLO and Monterey County Board of Supervisors, and the MCWRA. When water is released from Lake Nacimiento via its dam, it flows north down the Salinas River to aid farmers in the Salinas Valley and recharge the underground aquifer, before emptying into the ocean. In addition to opposing the release plan’s impact on Nacimiento recreation, lake residents questioned the wisdom of sending water down the river in the spring.

“What’s going to happen is when the lake gets down in July, they’re not going to have any water to release, and that’s when the farmers are going to need it the most,” Demsher said.

Locals are also concerned about whether the lake will replenish next winter.

“They’re just rolling the dice that they’re going to get water next year,” said Bill Capps, a board member on NRWMAC. “We do not think that is responsible.” ∆ You can reach Staff Writer Peter Johnson at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Charge!

State mandate makes it easier to build more charging stations for electric cars, but in AG, some worry about overreach

E

lectric car owners looking to charge up their vehicles in the city of Arroyo Grande don’t have that many options.

Currently there are only two locations in the city with public access to electric vehicle charging stations. One is the parking lot of Arroyo Grande Community Hospital on Halcyon Road, which has two stations near its front entrance. The second is a municipal parking lot on Le Point Street, located just behind City Hall.

But residents may see more charging stations popping up after a majority of the City Council voted on March 13 to move forward with a proposed ordinance that will make it easier to get city permits to build them on both residential and commercial property.

“I think it’s a good thing that we are doing to allow people to plug in and charge their electric vehicles, because it’s better for the environment,” said Councilmember Kristen Barneich.

This city has little choice when it comes to passing the ordinance. It’s necessary for the city to come into compliance with recently enacted state law. That law is part of an ambitious plan by Governor Jerry Brown to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels over the next 12 years.

The Arroyo Grande City Council approved the first reading of the proposed ordinance in a 3-2 vote at its March 13 PHOTO BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS

meeting. Once passed, it will bring the city into compliance with Assembly Bill 1236. Passed by the state Legislature and signed into law in 2015, AB 1236 requires local municipalities with a population of less than 200,000 to adopt an ordinance that creates an expedited permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations.

Under Arroyo Grande’s proposed ordinance, permitting for charging stations would become streamlined in an over-the-counter administrative process.

If an applicant submits the proper paperwork and the project meets all the necessary requirements, the permit processing time could take just 24 hours, according to Associate City Planner Kelly Heffernon.

“The process is very similar to the city’s existing permitting process,” she told the council.

Heffernon said it costs about $170 for a permit to install a charging station at a private residence, and $350 for a permit on a commercial property.

The state’s mandate on charging stations is expected to help push California toward its goal of putting more electric vehicles on the road and reducing vehicle emissions. However, in Arroyo Grande, some officials balked at being required to pass policy that was forced upon the city with virtually no local input.

“It doesn’t ease any of my frustration that this is yet one more thing that the

state is requiring without hearing our voice, and whether or not this is even an issue for us,” said Councilwoman Barbara Harmon, who voted along with Councilmember Tim Brown against approving a first reading of the ordinance.

Harmon and Mayor Jim Hill both noted that the requirement was one of multiple unfunded mandates from the state. Those include another law that took effect last year requiring the city to expedite and streamline the permitting process for accessory dwelling units, also known as granny units.

“There’s varying layers of these state mandates that, by law, need to be expedited,” Harmon said. “I do have a problem with the piling on of these things.”

Hill also raised concerns about smaller projects being pushed aside or delayed, but city staff said that Arroyo Grande has received relatively few electric car charging station permit applications.

Heffernon said that, to date, the city had only processed seven such applications: five residential and two commercial.

“It isn’t expected to create any significant impacts on staff due to the low volume of [charging stations] we’ve been processing to date,” she said.

But that may not always be the case.

Electric vehicle ownership in California is continuing to rise, according to a joint report authored by the nonprofit Next 10 and Silicon Valley think tank Beacon Economics. According to the report, sales of electric CHARGING UP A new state law is requiring smaller California cities like vehicles in California grew Arroyo Grande to pass ordinances making it easier to get permits to install by nearly 30 percent in 2017. electric vehicle charging stations—similar to this one in San Luis Obispo.

As of October of that same year, a total of 337,438 electric vehicles had been sold in California.

“Even if California’s sales growth were to slow by 5 percent, we project the state will easily meet its 1.5 million [zero emission vehicle] goal by 2025, if not before,” the report stated.

More cars on the road could mean more stations, which could result in more applications filed in small cities like Arroyo Grande.

“I think we are going to see a lot more of these in the future,” Hill said. “A lot more applications. I share Councilmember Harmon’s concerns about competing priorities.”

Still, Hill acknowledged that passing the ordinance was a requirement from the state and voted a “reluctant” yes on its first reading.

The ordinance will come back before the council for final approval at a future meeting. ∆ Staff Writer Chris McGuinness can be reached at cmcguinness@ newtimesslo.com.

ENOUGH Students gathered on the lawn at San Luis Obispo High School during the March 14 student walkout to protest gun violence on school campuses and honor the 17 victims who were shot in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14.

School shootings are a norm some students are no longer willing to accept

A

s Paso Robles students at four different schools sheltered in place on March 20, law enforcement officers searched for a gun that was supposedly hidden somewhere on or near Paso Robles High School campus.

It was a “precautionary measure,” according to the Paso Robles Joint Union School District.

Three Atascadero schools faced a similar shelter in place order on March 14. It was the day students across the nation planned to walk out of class to protest school shootings and honor the 17 students and teachers who were killed the month before in a school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

The Atascadero Police Department was notified that morning of a threat made the day before in an Instagram post: “I’m shooting up the school tomorrow during the walkout. Are you?”

That same day, students at Ernest Righetti and St. Joseph high schools in Santa Maria also faced a shelter in place order due to perceived gun threats to the school that turned out to be related to Atascadero. A social media gun threat to Poly High School in Long Beach put Cal Poly on alert Feb. 21, and earlier that week, Santa Maria High School went on lockdown because of a gun threat posted on Snapchat.

All of this happened after a 19-year-old shot up Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14 with an AR-15 and the wave of activism that followed. In the midst of attending funerals, high school students and parents crashed town halls and the Legislature in Florida, calling out U.S. Senators and Representatives, the National Rifle Association (NRA), and state elected officials for doing nothing to prevent the deaths of hundreds of students since the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado.

The 17-minute Enough! National School Walkout marked the one-month anniversary of that day. The pressure mounted by those students has forced some change in Florida.

The goal of the movement is to keep that pressure high, forcing gun laws to change at the national level. On March 24, the Women’s March SLO is organizing a March for Our Lives protest that starts in Mitchell Park, joining a nationwide demonstration that will “send a message to Congress that they must act now” to prevent gun violence in schools and mass shootings across the nation.

BY CAMILLIA LANHAM Potential threats of gun violence leveled at local high schools didn’t stop students who wanted to protest on March 14 from doing so. Students from Paso Robles to Santa Maria still managed to hold up signs saying they’d had enough, advocating for change to gun laws, and warning the world that they will be voting in the 2020 election.

The quad was packed at Arroyo Grande High School starting around 10 a.m., according to Casey Crouch, president of the school’s Young Progressives club.

stop speaking out on this issue until significant legislation is passed and the rate of firearm-related deaths decreases.”

Restraining violence

The anguish of rehashing your child’s death over and over again is a pain that’s hard to imagine. And yet, parents whose children are victims of mass shootings roam the halls of Congress and state legislatures doing exactly that. Repeating the tale that ended with a life—their child’s life—taken. Advocating to elected representatives. Hoping that it will result in legislation to SPEAK OUT San Luis Obispo High School student prevent future gun deaths.

Minori Jaggia, 17, gives a speech during the March 14 “They want their student walkout, when local students joined schools children’s death to have across the country in advocating for change that prevents mass shootings from happening in the future. meaning,” said Das Williams, who served in the state Assembly from 2010 to 2016 and currently sits on the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. “They don’t want others to go through the anguish that they have. And I really think that they are very brave, especially those who have walked the halls of state legislatures trying to pass these policies.”

Under pressure, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a bill into law on March 9 that raises the minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21, bans the sale of bump fire stocks, gives law enforcement more power to take weapons and ammunition from people deemed mentally unfit, allocated additional funding for armed school resource officers, and allows teachers to be armed if approved by the school district and PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM sheriff’s office.

a comparable bill in the Senate with a Democratic colleague.

Gun violence restraining order laws are already in place in states like California.

They operate similarly to domestic violence restraining orders. Immediate family or law enforcement can request a temporary court order that prohibits the person in question from possessing or receiving any firearms if a judge believes them to be an immediate danger to themself or others.

“From mass shootings to suicide, what this bill does is it tries to allow family members and law enforcement to work with the court … to assess individuals who are a danger to themselves or others,” Carbajal said. “I know too well and am familiar with these tragedies. My older sister, when I was young, committed suicide with my father’s firearm.”

Carbajal was also a Santa Barbara County supervisor in May 2014, when a 22-year-old Isla Vista man shot and stabbed six UC Santa Barbara students to death, injured several others, and eventually killed himself.

“I think it affected me like the rest of the community. It was a tragedy. It was shocking that somebody in crisis—the family reached out to law enforcement and they had no tools,” Carbajal said. “It really motivated me to see what I could do to pass laws that might enhance the tools.”

California’s gun violence restraining order was one of the results of parents who’d lost children to that shooting putting pressure on elected officials. Cosponsored by Williams, it was one of the first laws of its kind in the United States.

Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill in September 2014, and the law took effect starting in January 2016.

“I do think that it helps and I don’t think that pro-gun politicians should view this as taking away guns. … I think, honestly, more people are going to be saved by this legislation that were suicidal rather than homicidal,” Williams said. “It’s just not good to have that temptation with you all the time. It doesn’t have to be a permanent thing. ... A lot of people get through their depression or their mental illness with help and move on to live normal lives.”

Prevention tool

California courts utilized gun violence restraining orders 190 times in 2016 and 2017; 21 of those originated in Santa

Barbara County, according to state Department of Justice statistics. San Luis Obispo County has used it once in that time.

“We had 11 percent of the GVROs [gun violence restraining orders] in that twoyear period and we had only 1 percent of the state’s population. So that gives you an idea of how often we use it,” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said. “Most people who are mentally ill aren’t violent and are more likely to become victims of violence and we have to be careful not to stigmatize people who are mentally ill, but if someone is suffering from a severe mental illness and is exhibiting some sociopathic or self-destructive behavior, it’s obviously not a good thing for them to have access to firearms.”

In 2016, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office utilized it in cases of domestic violence, potential suicide, and mental health crisis. The discussion about guns and gun control in America is controversial, Brown said, but one thing that people agree on is that people suffering from a mental health crisis, criminals, and people who are a danger to themselves or others shouldn’t have access to guns. The new law is a vital tool, he said, to protect the community and potentially reduce homicide and suicide rates.

Michelle Warner from the newly formed San Luis Obispo chapter of Mothers Demand Action said awareness and education have a lot to do with low use of the law in places like SLO County, which is why she is focused on getting the word out about it.

“It’s a relatively new law. A lot of people don’t know about it, so it’s not used a lot,” Garner said. “We’re working hard to make sure people know it’s an option.

Just to get it out there to people, so that it is in the back of their head. … We’re fighting really hard to get this passed in all states, because it is really effective.”

Garner first looked into joining Moms Demand Action last year. She signed up for text and email alerts, eventually volunteering to become a chapter leader once she realized there weren’t a lot of events being held in the area. As she’s become more educated about gun violence, she said she’s realized how much it affects us.

“It’s so much more widespread than I previously assumed. It’s not just school shootings,” Garner said. “There’s a really high correlation between gun violence and domestic violence. Most murder by gun that’s committed in this nation is intimate partners.”

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, a gun in a domestic violence situation increases the risk of homicide by 500 percent. Data presented at a U.S. Department of Justice panel on the intersection of firearms and domestic violence in December 2016 showed, “when laws are in place that restrict abusers from purchasing guns, there is an associated decrease in intimate partner murders” that ranges between 7 and 19 percent.

School shootings, though, were the big impetus behind Garner’s decision to join Moms Demand Action. She has twin boys in kindergarten and her husband is a teacher, so she wanted to do everything she could to keep her family—and everyone else in the area—safe.

In addition to advocating for and spreading the word about gun violence restraining orders, she said the organization is pushing for California to pass a bill requiring people to go through live fire training before receiving a concealed-carry permit. The goal is uniformity, because although counties like SLO require residents to attend classes to get a the permit, not all of the state’s counties do. At the national level, the organization is pushing for

background checks to accompany every gun sale (whether it’s at a gun show, a shop, or off Craigslist). On the education front, Moms Demand Action puts on Be Smart for Kids workshops to educate parents about gun safety, such as keeping guns in the house locked away and unloaded.

The SLO chapter had its first meeting on March 10, and around 100 people showed up. Garner was floored by the turnout. She said people are starting to realize: The same thing that happened in Parkland, Florida, could happen in SLO. “We have this false sense of security that SLO is this safe town,” she said. “It could happen here.”

Safety measures

In light of what could happen in SLO County, a working group that includes

“We push them out to all the police departments for them to have them on their computers in their cars,” Sheriff Ian Parkinson said. “Our job is to get all of the responding units to a specific location. …

And once they get on scene, they will have a clear understanding of what that school looks like and what the response will be.”

In addition, the Sheriff’s Office spent $400,000 in grant money on training equipment that can be used by any law enforcement agency in the county. A 360-degree use-of-force simulator can put police officers and deputies through a variety of situations, including school shootings and how the chaos of those scenarios can change on the fly. The sheriff also invested in iCombat laser guns and vests that enable agencies to train virtually anywhere.

The last leg of that grant funding

the SLO County Sheriff’s Office, fire department, public health, and city representatives decided about three years ago to turn grants from the Department of Homeland Security into preparation, precautions, and training that gets all emergency response agencies in the county on the same page when it comes to active shooter events.

The Sheriff’s Office utilized more than $100,000 of those funds to map out every school campus in the county and put them in a central database that’s accessible to each emergency responder in the county.

That way if the Paso police respond to an emergency situation at a school in Atascadero, they already have the specifics they need to respond.

W

(approximately $100,000) is being spent on a phone application that will be piloted at Nipomo, Coast, and Templeton high schools this spring. The Rave Mobile Safety app can be installed on all faculty and staff members’ phones at each school, it’s geo-fenced around the site, and the main feature is an active shooter button.

Messages get shot to everyone else’s phone at the school and the nearest law enforcement dispatch center via the app.

A school can initiate lockdown procedures and each person with the app knows exactly where the situation is occurring.

“Having an immediate location of the person who’s reporting it is vital to us, because we’ve got to get to that spot,” Parkinson said. “We can get straight to

hen it comes to addressing the issue of school shootings, nailing down the statistics of just how often they happen is as fraught as the debates over how to prevent and stop them.

The FBI collects data about “active shooter” incidents. The agency defines an active shooter as “any individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area”.

According to the FBI’s data, there have been 220 active shooter incidents in the U.S. between 2000 and 2016, resulting in 1,486 dead or wounded. That same data showed that the number of casualties in such incidents rose dramatically over the same period of time, from just seven in 2000, to 212 by 2016.

The same data shows that nearly 22 percent of the active shooter incidents that occurred during that 16-year period took place at educational institutions. Twice as many of those shootings took place at K-12 schools than at institutions of higher learning like universities or colleges.

But the FBI isn’t the only one tracking school shootings, and other organizations claim that there are far more than what the agency has reported. It all depends on how you define a “school shooting.” Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit advocacy group that tracks gun violence in America, stated that there have been at least 305 school shootings in

that location as quickly as possible.”

Recently, all the county superintendents got together with Sheriff’s Office officials to talk about response and precautions districts and schools could take to help prevent active shooter situation like this from happening in the future.

“It was a 2.5-hour discussion about safety and where we are with our responses and stuff, and not just reactive, but proactive,” SLO County Office of Education Superintendent James Brescia said, adding that because of Diablo Canyon Power Plant, county schools and law enforcement are already pretty coordinated. “We’re kind of unique, we’re the last county—good or bad—with nuclear power, with that joint communication.”

Every superintendent in the county is on the same page when it comes to getting uniform safety and response protocols in place. Brescia said the same goes for allowing students the space and time to have an opinion and participate in events such as the March 14 walkout. Some student groups even brought in information to register other students to vote.

Lucia Mar Unified School District Superintendent Raynee Daley was at Arroyo Grande High School during the student walkout. She said it was successful because it was respectful and gave students the chance to express themselves, whether they chose to participate or not.

“I think it was an educational opportunity for us to provide a venue for them to really think about how would they express their voice and provide a venue for those that were perhaps of an opposite opinion to demonstrate a respect for a differing opinion,” Daly said. “And I think we achieved that.”

To have all seven cities and the county united as one when it comes to educational opportunities and emergency response protocols is unique to SLO County, Sheriff Parkinson said. Schools are discussing how to catch situations and students before crisis.

Talking about what the early indicators are—whether it’s childhood trauma, drugs and alcohol, or mental illness—and how to provide the right kind of help.

“I’ve seen a huge evolution with the superintendents of the schools, that they are really coming together on this issue and trying to come up with universal plans of trying to deal with this situation,” Parkinson said. “Unfortunately, I think we all wish that these were anomalies that didn’t occur often, but it seems like they’re occurring more often and they aren’t anomalies. … I think these things are going to continue to happen.” ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham can be reached at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

America between 2013 and 2018, far more than what the FBI reported.

That’s because the group’s definition of what constitutes a school shooting is far broader.

“Consistent with expert advice and common sense, Everytown uses a straightforward, fair, and comprehensive definition for a school shooting,” the Everytown website states. “Any time a firearm discharges a live round inside a school building or on a school campus or grounds, as documented by the press and, when necessary, confirmed through further inquiries with law enforcement or school officials.”

That means the 300-plus school shootings the group reported included events where someone discharged a gun in school without the intent to harm or kill anyone. Everytown’s definition would include the incident in March when a teacher in the Monterey County town of Seaside discharged his gun into the ceiling of his classroom, injuring three students with falling debris.

The incident would not, however, meet the FBI’s definition of an “active shooter,” and thus not be included in the agency’s statistics.

Everytown reported 32 incidents thus far in 2018 that met its definition.

“When it comes to American children being exposed to gunfire, these shootings are just the tip of the iceberg,” the organization’s website states.

This isn’t Hammack’s first go at running her own business, she had a salon called Generation X in Arroyo Grande. It was small and Hammock was a one-woman-band, owning it and tending to her clients. She sold it in 2007 and never thought she’d own a business again. After that venture, she worked at salons in SLO. “I had some clear ideas of what services I wanted to provide to our customers and wanted to be more one-on-one with them.

I wasn’t finding that just being a stylist,” she said.

With hard work and a little faith from her new landlords, Hammack was able to open up a salon of her own again.

“It feels like a second home, I got to decorate it and make all the decisions for the business. Some days I don’t want to leave, because I enjoy being here,” she said.

Hammock’s been in love with the art of beauty since she was in high school.

During her teens, she would try to replicate makeup and hair trends on her friends.

“I was a prodigy of the ’80s; you know, the one can of Aqua Net. I loved the big hair and makeup,” she said.

At 19, Hammack graduated from the Allan Hancock College cosmetology program and received her license. She’s been around the beauty scene long enough to see how trends have evolved

alking around Higuera and Marsh Streets in downtown San Luis Obispo, you’ll notice many windows showcase stylists cutting away or dying hair. There is a salon or two (or three) on every block, and many specialize in more than just the beautification of hair.

But a new salon that opened last summer chose an unlikely location in which to pamper its clients. The Gypsy Den Salon is located off Broad Street, in the same shopping center as The Rib Line, Oki Momo Asian Grill, and Dollar Tree.

Owner and stylist Jennifer Hammack said the biggest reason for her location choice was parking.

“I didn’t want to be downtown, which I know is kind of a weird thing, but the parking was such a big deal,” Hammack said.

With plenty of parking spots and a new space, she was able to make the salon her own. Entering the Gypsy Den, you’ll meet lilac-colored walls and flower-filled vases at every station.

“I was going for a boutique feel. I really wanted something that was not assemblyline feeling, like some of the larger salons can get,” she said.

She said that in the past, many of her clients were coming in asking for the “Rachel” hair cut from the TV show Friends or for a do from 90201. Now, beauty trends are dominated by Pinterest or Instagram photos.

That’s why Hammack is grateful for her diverse crew of female stylists.

“We have some stylists that specialize in college students, some that do edgier styles, and some of us cut men’s hair,” she said. “The crew is amazing and we all get along really well.”

Powerful reasons Support Tim Covello for judge

O

n June 5, San Luis Obispo County voters will have the opportunity to vote for a candidate for SLO County Superior Court judge to replace Barry T. LaBarbera, who is retiring. The vast majority of the time, the governor appoints judges to our Superior Court bench upon the retirement of a sitting judge. This year, Judge LaBarbera’s retirement coincides with the end of his six-year term. As a result, SLO County voters will determine which candidate will fill this open seat in the primary election.

In the race to fill Judge LaBarbera’s seat, one candidate is already doing the work of a judge every day: Commissioner Tim Covello. Tim was appointed as a court commissioner by the local judges who observed his legal and administrative skills during a 25 year career in the local courts. He has been endorsed by 29 current and retired judicial officers, including two justices of the California Court of Appeal.

A campaign for judge is different from all other campaigns. Judicial ethics rules prevent a candidate for judge from voicing his or her opinion on political questions or stating how he or she might rule on particular issues. Instead, a judicial campaign focuses on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.

The commentary to the code of judicial ethics states that sitting judges are permitted to endorse candidates for judicial

The authors of this commentary have firsthand knowledge of Tim’s qualifications based on his work in the District Attorney’s Office and as a judicial colleague. We believe that judicial experience, broad ranging legal experience, and solid judgment are powerful reasons to vote for Tim Covello for Judge.

Sorry, Lynn Compton: Doesn’t work that way

During Lynn Compton’s interview in a recent New Times piece, she referenced the San Luis Obispo Tribune viewpoint that I wrote criticizing the SLO County Board of Supervisor’s failure to adopt reasonable, broadly supported affordable housing policy.

While I would have welcomed a thoughtful, respectful counter-argument regarding the decision, instead she quipped “You picked a profession that’s not a highly paid profession, social services. You picked that profession, you come out of Cal Poly, and we owe you a house? No, sorry, kiddo. Doesn’t work that way.” Respectfully, Mrs. Compton, did you even read my opinion piece?

In the viewpoint, I shared my experience as a college graduate who must work two jobs to afford one room in an apartment.

I shared my family’s experience—which mirrors those of many young families— who struggle to put down roots in this community. I shared the experience of homeless youth who are left behind and live on the streets of your district.

We aren’t asking for a house or a handout; we are hardworking people who want to earn our way. However, the status quo that you desperately protect fails to offer any foothold for those of us who are searching for opportunity in this county.

Your opponent Jimmy Paulding not only understands the members of his community, but he actually advocates for them. He stands with those who are fighting for clean air in Nipomo, or who are working to better the community of Oceano, or who are just plain tired of sitting in unreasonable traffic on Tefft LETTERS continued page 15

Conservative values or Cuban?

Al Fonzi may not be aware of the U.S. Constitution or the GOP platform that endorses states’ rights supremacy except for those federal authorities enumerated in our constitution. Mr. Fonzi articulates that he prefers a supreme federal government, which would decide where to drill, transport fuels, build nuclear power plants, and presumably how to store or transport the waste. Since the federal government cannot focus policy enforcement solely on one state, this new policy would have to apply across our nation.

Thus, the retired colonel advocates for a federal government with the authority to confiscate public and private land, to drill or transport fuels or build a nuclear power plant or to store waste.

Of course, that means this would apply throughout our country including in the coastal regions of Southern states such as Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, where drilling is also currently banned. He is also proposing usurping states rights for the 14 states that prohibit nuclear energy development, which include Oregon, Washington, Montana, and West Virginia.

If you do not want the government to take your property for these developments—Al Fonzi seems to indicate too bad, because there is money to be made and you just need to acquiesce to a federal official who decides what is best for you and your community. What he proposes seems very much like Cuban political principles.

Who’s buying Jimmy Paulding?

Beginning on March 6, and running up to the June primary, candidates are required to file FPPC reports notifying the public about large political donations of $1,000 or more. Such donations must be reported within 24 hours of receiving that donation. Reports include the donor’s name, the amount of the donation, and the date received. The purpose is to identify any large contribution, and its source, as the election enters the final months to ensure transparency.

Interestingly, Jimmy Paulding has “sidestepped” this disclosure requirement, first with of a mysterious unnamed donor who pledged $40,000 for a contest featured on Jimmy’s Facebook page and campaign website, and then with another who anonymously pledged $10,000.

So, Jimmy claims to have received two anonymous donations totaling $50,000, and both were received only days before the start of the 24-hour reporting period. The precise timing of his contest’s end (right before March 6), which triggered the $50,000 anonymous match, is not coincidental.

Something stinks. Campaign finance

Social workers, you have our support

I’m writing to express our gratitude for social workers during March, National Social Work Month.

As the director of CASA of San Luis Obispo County, I oversee the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers who are independent, sworn officers of the court, appointed to investigate a foster child’s circumstances and advocate for the child’s best interests. Our CASAs see how skillfully social workers do a very difficult job of supporting children and families in the child welfare system. Together, we form a team, ensuring that a judge has the most up-to-date information to make lifealtering decisions for the family and that the child receives all of the services and support he or she needs.

We see first-hand how San Luis Obispo County social workers juggle multiple cases, work in high stress circumstances with families and individuals coping with serious health and legal issues and stand on the front lines, keeping children safe and ensuring families have the resources they need to heal.

Social workers deserve our recognition and support not just during this month but every day.

competitive rates in the course of transitioning to a cleaner energy supply (cutting 940,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year and realizing savings on customer bills of more than $33 million in 2016 alone, per the California Community Choice Association). These programs provide consumer choice, local control, job creation, and economic development, with revenue reinvested in the community, and can replace the power generated by the Diablo Canyon Power Plant.

A feasibility study for the entire Central Coast found that community choice “is more likely to be rate-competitive—or even offer a rate savings—for customers located in PG&E territory [i.e. San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara County]” and urged additional independent analysis.

But this is Supervisor Compton’s description of her vote to decline to pursue Community Choice: “I feel like the left just keeps throwing these bombs. Whatever it is, du jour, and bring it to the board and then they make it a big political deal. … Looking at [Community Choice Energy] logically, it didn’t make financial sense to do it.”

Supervisor Compton is entitled to her own opinions. She is not entitled to her own facts.

Flawed abatement order

For the past six years we made no progress in mitigating the cause of bad air quality on the Nipomo Mesa. It took

our former Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO), Larry Allen, six years before he issued an abatement order. The abatement order gave multiple options, including closing 100, 200, or 400 acres of riding area.

Now, we have a new APCO, Gary Willey, who is ignoring Larry’s recommendations and wants to settle for vegetating 18.4 acres. The Air Pollution Control District’s staff estimates that vegetating 20 acres will result in a 7 to 11 percent reduction in pollution. Let’s call it 9 percent. Why did Willey agree to only 9 percent? That leaves 91 percent of the pollution still in the air. That won’t move the needle on the number of pollution violation days.

The abatement order is unclear, but assuming they mean to add 5 percent points of reduction each year, in year two we would be at only 14.5 percent pollution reduction. Also, the order has no performance metrics and no penalties for non-performance.

Ridiculous!

Mr. Willey needs to read the clean air goals posted on his agency’s website and start doing his job or resign.

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AMY HEWES

Dire consequences T error.

That’s what you hear, see, and feel in the videos taken by students hiding in closets as Nikolas Cruz kills 17 of their classmates and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Imagine hearing that rampage. Your heart is surging. An automatic weapon fires. Screams. People dying.

Terror.

That’s also what a woman feels every time her intimate partner raises his hand to beat her, locks his hands around her neck, or cocks a gun by her head.

I’ve never experienced domestic abuse; I’ve never been hit or had my life threatened. But decades ago, I was in a relationship with a volatile man who controlled and coerced me emotionally. I was hyper alert to his moods, careful not to upset him or trigger a rant. I calculated everything I did or said by how he might react.

Finally, I realized that the relationship was toxic for me. I told him over the phone that I was leaving—and the next thing I knew, he was at the door. He wanted to talk. Reluctantly, I let him in.

He argued, persuaded, cried, pleaded.

He made me feel small and selfish. But I did not take back my decision. His anger spiraled. He raged around the apartment tearing and throwing things. Then, he punched a hole in the wall.

Seeing his barely-checked violence, hearing the plaster crack, stopped time.

My ears shrieked. At that moment, I experienced tunnel vision: My future telescoped to ash if I stayed with this man. I fled.

Let me emphasize, my story is not special. I’m not looking for sympathy—I deserve no particular admiration. In fact, my experience pales by comparison to thousands, millions of victims across the U.S., in California, and in the county of San Luis Obispo.

Terror is their daily reality.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 8.5 million women face intimate partner violence every year. Our county domestic violence service programs, RISE and Stand Strong, report that they helped 1,700 clients escape violence in 2016-17.

I had no idea there were so many. Look around: 1,700 of our neighbors, coworkers, fellow parents, churchgoers, and fellow residents faced recurring brutality until they fled.

Now—imagine a gun in the hands of their abusers.

We can do more than imagine that situation. Last year The Huffington Post published first-person accounts.

Kate Ranta from Coral Springs, Florida, wrote: “One day, over a year after I left him, he showed up unannounced at

my new apartment while my father was visiting me. I could feel something was off and frantically tried to lock the door.

He pulled out a gun. ‘I just want to talk to Kate,’ he said, and shot me twice. One bullet exploded my hand. The other went through my left breast, just missing my heart. My father was also shot twice. My son witnessed the whole thing.”

Nicole Beverly from Ypsilanti, Michigan, recounted a vicious episode in which her husband beat her, cracked her ribcage, strangled her, and pointed a gun at her for hours. “The next morning, the first thing he said was that I owed him an apology for almost making him kill me. He didn’t let me leave the house for three days because of all the bruises. After I was allowed to leave the house again, he warned me that if I told anyone or left him, he would hunt me down. He was going to shoot me. He was going to paralyze me. He was going to throw acid on my face. He was going to slit my throat.”

Data compiled by Everytown for Gun Safety confirms that guns can turn domestic violence into murder. Women are five times more likely to be killed during a partner assault when a gun is present. Each month, 50 women in the U.S. are shot to death in domestic violence situations, and approximately 50 percent of all women killed by intimate partners are killed by guns.

Another sobering fact: 54 percent of mass shootings are related to domestic violence.

Nikolas Cruz, the accused Parkland gunman, had abused his girlfriend. Omar Mateen, who left 49 dead and 58 wounded at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, had beaten two wives. Last November, Devin Kelly killed 26 and wounded 20 at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Kelly had been convicted of assaulting his wife and a child.

The list goes on. Look up the domestic violence backgrounds of mass shooters Cedric Ford, John Russell Houser, Robert Dear, Scott Evans Dekraai, and Esteban Santiago. The connection is a cry for action.

Without a doubt, the intersection of domestic violence and gun violence has dire consequences for all American communities. And especially for women.

Compared to other states, California has made strides in adopting common sense gun laws, but far more needs to be done to protect victims of domestic abuse from gun violence, even here in San Luis Obispo.

Next month, I’ll review suggestions from officials, professionals, and law enforcement.

Meanwhile, if you experience domestic abuse, you can stop the terror. You can find shelter and services locally at Stand Strong and RISE (https://standstrongnow.org and www.riseslo.org).

The Shredder

All lying liars must resign!

B

y now you’ve probably seen the videotape of SLO County Jail inmate Andrew Chaylon Holland’s Jan. 22, 2017, death after being strapped into a restraint chair for 46 hours straight. It ain’t pretty. Some deputies can be seen laughing as a naked Holland writhes on the floor, dying. They literally just watched the man breathe his last breath. Is that amusing?

Worse still, the videotape proves that SLO County Sheriff Ian Parkinson bald-face lied about what happened to Holland. He lied about deputies finding Holland “unresponsive.” He lied about Holland being under constant medical care during his confinement in the restraint chair. Parkinson is a liar.

Period. Not only did he lie—the county supported that lie. Now, Parkinson is trying to deflect his department’s culpability in Holland’s death and blame other county departments.

Did you really think the public wouldn’t find out? Shame on the county for denying media—and therefore, the public—access to that video! Kudos to the SLO Tribune for obtaining it and releasing it!

In a 491-word statement released on the department’s Facebook page (guess it wouldn’t fit on the 280-word Twitter account), Parkinson tried to transfer the blame to SLO County Behavioral Health.

“The mental health department refused to accept him, claiming that they were at ‘capacity,’” Parkinson wrote. “It was later

determined that their claim was untrue and mental health could have taken custody of Mr. Holland for treatment.”

Is that your excuse for torturing a mentally ill man to death? That another department could have taken him? Guess what? They didn’t! He was under your care! You are responsible for his death!

Parkinson goes on to claim his department followed the rules of restraint, to which I say whoopty frickin’ doo! Your “rules” killed a man. Did the rules also say your deputies should stand around and laugh as Holland died? That they should mock his mental illness?

“In accordance with the rules, the entire process was videotaped,” Parkinson wrote, and thank God for that because otherwise the only account we’d have of what happened was Parkinson’s bullshit narrative.

Parkinson also blamed mental health for not sedating Holland: “The Sheriff’s Office does not have the legal authority to involuntarily sedate an inmate. The mental health department refused to classify this situation as ‘an emergency,’ which would have permitted involuntary sedation.”

Are sedation and complete immobility really the only two options available? Your department’s response to Holland’s mental health crisis was to strap him naked to a chair for so long that it caused a blood clot—which traveled to his lung once he was finally able to move freely, resulting in a deadly pulmonary embolism.

The coup de grace to Parkinson’s deflection and finger pointing is that the $5 million settlement that went to Holland’s family came from county mental health’s medical malpractice insurance. Rather than exonerating the county jail, it simply proves the jail is indeed part of the mental health care system in the county, and that the county was at fault in his death.

“The buck stops with Ian Parkinson, whether he likes that or not,” SLO Democratic Party Chair Rosemary Wrenn said in a press release calling for Parkinson’s resignation. “Sheriff Parkinson has lost the public’s trust, and he’s demonstrated a lack of character by denying any responsibility or showing any compassion toward the Holland family or thousands of other county residents whose lives are affected every day by mental illness.”

Public outcry has been deafening from the get-go, but since the tape came out, anger has ramped up. Between March 17 and 19, 23 people took two-hour shifts sitting in a makeshift “restraint chair” in front of the SLO County Courthouse for 46 hours. On March 20, during the regularly scheduled SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting, a group of more than a dozen protestors shut down the meeting when the group, carrying a man on a stretcher and an “I am Andrew Holland” banner, refused to leave the chambers.

which didn’t dispel protestors, Board Chairman John Peschong adjourned the meeting until 1:30 p.m. The protestors eventually filed out chanting, “How do you spell guilty? I-A-N.” Too many SLO County Jail inmates have died under Parkinson’s care. The FBI continues to investigate alleged civil rights violations in the jail. SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow has refused to investigate. Dow’s done nothing but protect the sheriff, going so far as to castigate The Tribune for a truthful headline that the FBI is investigating the jail. Former medical examiner Dr. Gary Walter ruled Holland’s death “natural.”

This has been one grand cover-up from the get-go, and now the truth is out.

But why not admit the truth from the beginning? We would be a year farther into much-needed public reforms at the jail and how it provides health care to inmates.

Instead, SLO County is part of the national news cycle. Thanks Sheriff Parkinson, for being a shameful embarrassment.

Anyone who’s seen the video tape knows the sheriff, the supervisor on duty, and the grinning jackals who laughed as Holland died have no business in law enforcement.

You should all resign in shame. ∆

GOT BRYNN? Violinist and Opera SLO and SLO Symphony concertmaster Brynn Albanese (pictured) plays with pianist Ian Scarfe on March 30, in SLO’s Community Baptist Church, but she’s also started the Cambria Concerts Unplugged series, and tickets are going fast.

A new Cambria concert series arrives at the Old Santa Rosa Chapel

C

ambria is a pretty magical place, where pine trees meet the Pacific Ocean and artists of all stripes come to settle. Up a steep driveway in this charming little hamlet is the charming little Old Santa Rosa Chapel (2353 Main St.), which was built in 1870 and is listed as a landmark on the National Historic Registry. It’s also the site of the upcoming Cambria Concerts Unplugged series, which doesn’t start until June, but the first concert has already sold out!

Celtic band Molly’s Revenge is scheduled to play on Sunday, June 3, at 4 p.m., but that show is already filled, so another has been added for 7:30 p.m. (all ages; $20 tickets at brynnalbanese.com/ cambria-concerts-unplugged). Tickets for the rest of the series—The Sunny Wright Trio on Sunday, July 29; The Cimo Brothers on Sunday, Oct. 21; Cambria’s Candlelight Christmas Concerts on Saturday, Dec. 1, and the to-be-announced season closer on Sunday, March 31, 2019—are also available on concert organizer Brynn Albanese’s website.

Albanese, a professional violinist by trade, made her solo debut at 10 with the Carson Symphony in Los Angeles, where she grew up in a family of professional musicians. She went on to play with a number of world-renowned orchestras such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra

and the Boston Pops under the direction of Seiji Ozawa and John Williams from 1994 through 2001. She lived in the Netherlands for six years playing with various Dutch orchestras. Eventually, however, California was calling, and she returned home, joining Café Musique, a well-known Gypsy, jazz, swing, folk, and wild classical crossover quintet. They might just be my favorite local music act.

Albanese is currently on faculty at Cal Poly, and she’s concertmaster of the SLO Symphony under new conductor Maestro Andrew Sewell, as well as concertmaster for Opera SLO. Albanese currently lives in Cambria with her wife of two years. Her parents also live there. She considers herself a Cambrian “through and through,” and she discovered the Old Santa Rosa Chapel after attending a Christmas concert there “five or six years ago.”

“The chapel is owned by the Catholic Church,” Albanese continued, “but it doesn’t function as a church anymore.”

In fact, it’s final mass was celebrated in 1963. It fell into disrepair and was vandalized, but in 1984, it was restored and rededicated for community use.

Since then it’s been used for nondenominational weddings and other celebrations.

According to Albanese, the acoustics are remarkable, but it has “no heat, no

Albanese was speaking to Judith Larmore, the property manager who lives on site, who revealed it was her “dream” to start a concert series.

The idea was born Albanese hopes: “I

want to eventually, some day, have one concert a month, and who knows, maybe a community jam, maybe some spoken word and storytelling. It’s such a beautiful space to create, and you don’t need a sound system.”

outlets, but Albanese also thinks it would be fantastic to record in with a single microphone.

“There’s no traffic noise, nothing,” she said, “and just so you know, all the extra money after paying the musicians and my small administrative fee goes to restoration and upkeep [of the chapel]. Father Mark [Stetz] at the Santa Rosa Catholic Church is thrilled, actually, and he’s coming to Molly’s Revenge. The chapel is just a wonderful place to be away from everything for a couple of hours where you can lose yourself in community, friendship, music art, and life.”

If you want to check out Albanese’s musical prowess, next Friday, March 30, she and Ian Scarfe (piano) will present a recital featuring the works of Brahms, Mozart, Williams, and Piazzolla, as well as “Notturno” by Ottoerio Respighi and the world premiere of “For Brynn Albanese” by Mary Bianco, at the Community Baptist Church (51 Foothill Blvd., SLO; 7:30 p.m.; all ages; $20 suggested donation at the door).

The piece written for her by Bianco is just two pages long and has a “lot of Middle Eastern flavor,” Albanese noted, adding that the composer is now in her 70s, lives in the wine country, and is a big supporter of the arts.

As for Cambria Concerts Unplugged— tickets are going fast! Get on it!

QUINTESSENTIAL CALIFORNIA Psyche-rock and folk act The Mother Hips play The Siren on March 28.

Siren calling

It still seems crazy to me that Morro Bay has taken over as the live music hotspot in the county, but here we are!

This week Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents, in conjunction with The Siren, has a bunch of killer shows lined up of the sort we used to see when SLO Brew was open on Garden Street.

Johnny Cash tribute act Cash’d Out plays this Saturday, March 24 (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 presale at ticketfly.com and Boo Boo Records or $23 at the door). They deliver authentic early- and mid-career Cash classics— the Sun and Columbia Records stuff from mostly the ’50s through ’70s.

Gritty and authentic!

Bluegrass, Americana, folk, and blues singer-songwriter Gill Landry plays on Sunday, March 25 (7 p.m.; 21-andolder; $15 presale at ticketfly.com and Boo Boo’s or $20 at the door). “Townes Van Zandt once said, ‘There’s only two kinds of music: the blues and zippety doo-dah. I’ve always loved that,” Landry wrote in his bio. “In my opinion, labeling music sucks, but clearly marketing and classifying music without some label is near hopeless, so here we are.” He’s awesome!

The Siren’s booked Illinois-based newgrass and Americana act Old Salt Union on Tuesday, March 27 (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $10), with local act Miss Leo and Her Bluegrass Boys opening. Old Salt Union is currently on tour with the Yonder Mountain String Band, but they had an open date and decided last minute to swing out to Morro Bay. Only 10 bucks and an early start since it’s a work night!

Quintessential California rock act The Mother Hips, who were first signed by über-producer Rick Rubin when they were still students at Chico State, play on Wednesday, March 28 (7p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 presale at ticketfly. com or Boo Boo’s or $25 at the door), with opener Jason Crosby. They’re touring in

support of their 10th album, Chorus, due out this spring.

Punks unite for The Dickies and The Queers on Thursday, March 29 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $18 presale at ticketfly. cm or Boo Boo’s or $20 at the door). New Hampshire-based The Queers should appeal to Ramones fans, but with even more bubblegum rock and juvenile lyrics.

GRRL POWER All-female garage/surf rock act Bombón headlines a four-band show at Bill’s Place on March 23 as part of the Rides of March vintage scooter rally.

Want to hear the ring-ding-ding of 100 two-stroke scooters pulling into Bill’s Place in Arroyo Grande on Friday, March 23? Of course you do! The plumes of blue smoke and smell of oil—breathe it in, baby, then come into the club to rub shoulders with vintage scooter aficionados who’ve come to town for the annual Rides of March scooter rally.

Bill’s will feature music by San Pedrobased all-female garage/surf rock act Bombón, local bubblegum and glitter punks Hayley and the Crushers, other local act Pancho and the Wizards, and Long Beach-based Melted.

“We’re still making that long-awaited record with House of Faith Studios in Oakland, and we’re stoked to say it should be out this summer!” Hayley of the Crushers (and New Times’ Flavor column) said. In the meantime, they released a killer video from their last album Jewel Case.

“Hot Shot” is about “that horrendous guy in high school who thought he was ‘the king.’ Then, 10 years later there he is, still selling sodas and lottery tickets at the gas station with that little smirk on his face,” Hayley said. “This whole album feels a lot like it was torn from pages of my high school diary, and I’m ok with that. I was a weird kid in a small town who retreated to my room to write stories and play Ramones songs over and over on my guitar. Playing rock music today with the Crushers has only strengthened what I suspected all along: It’s the ones who stay true to themselves that actually win in life. The king is dead. Now that I think about it, he was a total bore anyway.”

This one’s going rock, weirdoes!

Some of us have been playing music together for nearly a decade.

Her story

All aboard the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum for Women’s History Month!

On March 24 at 3 p.m., the museum will host a Women Heroes Film event, presenting a brief overview of the history of women in railroading, from the earliest days to the present.

A century ago, many, but not all, female workers had what would be considered menial roles today. But even among the stereotypical roles, there were some surprises, including right here on the Coast Route. The event will include three short movies from the silent film era.

Admission to the museum is free for members and children ages 3 and under, $3 for kids ages 4 to 15, and $5 for adults. Visit slorrm.com for more information.

What a good dog

Love triangles can rock any relationship, but what happens when the third party is a dog?

In Sylvia, now showing at the Great American Melodrama in Oceano, Greg and Kate live a seemingly happy life in New York City.

Then Greg brings home a dog he found in the park—or that found him—bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her nametag.

A street-smart mixture of lab and poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife.

She offers Greg an escape from life, but to Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection.

Tickets range from $21 to $28 per person. Visit americanmelodrama.com to purchase tickets online.

Call to action

Bring a little awareness of real life issues to your next read with the SLO County Public Librarie’s new Book to Action program.

This community reads program invites high school age youth and adults to read, discuss, and take action with this year’s title, The 57 Bus, by Dashka Slater.

Slater chronicles the true story of an agender teen who is set on fire by another teen while riding public transit.

Slater weaves a compelling story that tells both sides of the crime, and she covers topics like gender identity, race, juvenile justice, and forgiveness.

As part of a grant from the California Center for the Book, free copies of The 57 Bus will be available in selected libraries in March and April.

The library will also offer teen arts programs based on themes from the book and a community panel discussion that includes the author at the Atascadero Library on May 2 at 5:30 p.m. ∆ —Ryah Cooley

Leave No Trace exhibit raises environmental awareness

S

mashed up TVS, shards of glass, and bullets and shells aren’t what anyone would expect on a camping trip. Yet for Atascadero based artist Richard Fusillo, it’s an all too common sight when he and his buddies head out to spend some time in nature.

So to make a point about just how not cool that is, Fusillo and artist/camping buddy Taylor Owens decided to do the exact same thing, sort of. They took 20 or so TVs out to a friend’s property in the See Canyon area, shot and smashed them up, and brought everything back to Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, where the piece, Range, is currently on display as part of the Leave No Trace exhibit (Fusillo and Owens cleaned everything up, of course). The TVs were further banged up with hammers in the window display at the studio, much to the confusion of passersby.

“It’s an exaggerated piece about people bringing trash out, shooting it up, and leaving it there,” Fusillo said. “Me and Taylor camp and we’re outdoors enthusiasts, and when we go out and camp we see trash everywhere.”

While people often legally shoot TVs and the like on Bureau of Land Management Areas where Fusillo camps, he said they don’t do it in a way that’s thoughtful or considerate to the land or others.

Another one of Fusillo’s pieces is a photo that features a nude woman crouched down in the sand, with zero footprints around her somehow.

“That’s my statement on leaving no trace,” Fusillo said. “Everyone looks at photos because they’re pretty, but no one thinks about what it takes to keep those places looking that way.”

SLO County based artist Casey Wieber (who’s another camping buddy of Fusillo’s) like to capture urban decay in nature, but prefers that these places across the county, whether in the rolling hills of Paso Robles or the waters of Shell Beach, be kept clean and free of trash.

“It’s an ethos we live by,” Wieber said. “The land is for all of us to enjoy and we should respect it. As a photographer I’m interested in the things people leave behind. It’s so easy for people to leave these things that were once in use.”

So Fusillo and Wieber hope the show will inspire people to stick to the basic rules of being a good steward of the land: If you pack it in, pack it out. If you see some trash someone left behind, pick it up.

“When you go out and enjoy nature, it’s just kind of a practice in mindfulness,” Wieber said.

“Be aware that this is our home and it’s also the home to many other species. We all share this world and we should be more mindful of our impact on it.” ∆ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley will be the one at the trailhead with two over-excited pit bulls at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

OUTDOOR RECREATION Range, an eye-catching installation piece by Richard Fusillo and Taylor Owens, speaks to the issue of people leaving trash behind at open, natural spaces.

Pack it in, pack it out

The Leave No Trace exhibit will be on display at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles through March 31. See studiosonthepark.org for more information. The exhibit will also have a Central Coast Point of View Photography Meet Up at Montaña de Oro State Park on March 24 at 3 p.m. Visit @centralcoastpov on Instagram for more details.

Family secrets Other Desert Cities explores hidden tragedy

E

very family has one.

That big, unspeakable thing that if not fastidiously ignored might just blow every complicated, nuanced familial tie up in smoke.

It’s uncomfortable, but oh so real, and Wine Country Theatre in Paso Robles manages to bring all of those sensibilities to its current production of the contemporary drama Other Desert Cities.

Written by playwright/screenwriter Jon Robin Baitz (Stonewall), this Broadway play debuted in 2011 and digs deep into a Hollywood family’s dark past a few years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York.

It’s Christmas Eve 2004 in Palm Springs. Writer Brooke (Christine Miller, recently seen at Cherent Ranch Theatre in Dead Man’s Cell Phone) and her brother/reality TV producer Trip (Garrett Larsen, a Fight night veteran with the likes of Wine Country Theatre’s the Cambria Center for the production of Other Desert Arts and SLO Repertory Cities shows through March 31 at the Park Ballroom in Theatre) are home to spend Paso Robles. Tickets are $15 the holidays with their super for students, $20 for groups Republican parents—Lyman of eight or more, and $25 (Grammy Award winning for general admission. Visit winecountrytheatre.com for vocalist John Laird) and more information.

Polly (Mary-Ann Maloof, seen on stage at the Cambria Center for the Arts and SLO Repertory Theatre), who used to be part of the golden days of Hollywood as an actor and screenwriter, respectively— along with their alcoholic aunt Silda College Theatre, and the Pioneer Players) (Cynthia Anthony, founder of Wine has woven together.

Country Theatre).

Boiling underneath the surface of The whole thing takes place in the chitchat about where to eat dinner is Wyeth family room and essentially a barely scabbed over wound. Years boils down to five people talking (and ago, the family’s oldest son, Henry, got sometimes avoiding talking) to each involved with a radicalized group. He other. But it is a masterful work of love, may or may not have been involved with secrecy, tension, and the trauma of one planting a bomb that led to the death of family that director Elaine Fournier (acting and directing credits include The an innocent man. Henry’s body was never Great American Melodrama, Cuesta found, though he is assumed to be dead.

THINGS UNSPOKEN Siblings Brooke (Christine Miller) and Trip (Garrett Larsen) navigate tense family dynamics amid a new development in Other Desert Cities.

PUTTING IT OUT THERE Polly (Mary-Ann Maloof, foreground) reads her daughter’s soon to be published book that explores a family tragedy while her sister Silda (Cynthia Anthony) and husband Lyman (John Laird) look on.

Brooke, who moved all the way to the East Coast to get away from everything, has struggled with depression since the death of her older brother. In an attempt to grapple with that, she’s written a memoir about her Hollywood family and what led to Henry going astray. This revelation leads to some truths about love, blame, and perception and ultimately unburies yet another family secret.

At the heart of the story are many universal questions, one of which Trip brings up when his sister refuses to see the family’s issues with her memoir.

“What do you want?” Trip asks Brooke.

“For me to say ‘Oh boy sis—sure—art comes before life?’”

It’s hard to look away from start to finish, thanks in no small part to standout performances from the entire cast. Miller is relatable in her pain and search to find meaning in her brother’s seemingly senseless death.

Larsen adeptly shows the struggle of the peacemaker in the family who is trying and failing at keeping everyone together.

Laird and Maloof both walk a fine line between tightly wound parents who don’t see the world the same way that their kids do and trying to love them anyway.

And Anthony is delightful as she slips between the alcoholic aunt on the edge and sage family truth teller. Δ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley is staying out of the family drama at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

You’ve got (gay) mail

G

reg Berlanti (Life as We Know It) directs this coming of age story about Simon Spier (Nick Robinson), a closeted gay teenager who must face his sexual identity. (109 min.)

Glen At first, Love, Simon came across as a boilerplate coming of age story with the slight twist of Simon being a closeted gay. It set up his warm relationships with friends Leah (Katherine Langford), Nick (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.), and Abby (Alexandra Shipp); parents Emily (Jennifer Garner) and Jack (Josh Duhamel); and sister Nora (Talitha Bateman). He’s just a regular guy with a big secret who likes to gaze out the window at the hunky gardener next door and dream of being accepted for who he is. The only out gay boy at his high school is Ethan (Clark Moore), who unlike Simon is exaggeratedly effete but sharp-witted enough to rebuff his peers who dare mock him. It’s 2018, so of course part of the story must play out online with a school gossip and online confession site, on which Simon begins an email correspondence with another gay young man named “Blue.” Simon takes on his own pseudonym, “Jacques,” and the two get to know each other, though neither knows the other’s true identity.

Throughout the story, Simon wonders which of his classmates it is: Bram (Keiynan Lonsdale), the soccer player; Cal (Miles Heizer), the brooding loner; or Lyle (Joey Pollari), the hunky wallflower. The story’s antagonist is star thespian and royal douche bag Martin (Logan Miller), who by accident is able to screenshot some of Simon and Blue’s emails and thus extort Simon into setting Martin up with Simon’s gorgeous friend Abby, who naturally Simon’s other friend Nick is already in love with. It’s a tangled web, but all these complications help to elevate the film beyond standard coming of age.

Throw in some comedy via obnoxious Vice Principal Mr. Worth (Tony Hale) and put upon drama teacher Ms. Albright (Natasha Rothwell), and you’ve got an engaging, often poignant, frequently laugh-out-loud funny teen dramady.

Anna Instead of falling into the ranks of “just another high school dramady,” Love, Simon is a heartfelt, relatable, and sincere slice of American teen life today. While it may feel that our world is accepting now more than ever and that a gay kid should be able to come out with little consequence to his peers and family, Love, Simon shows that teenage life is just as tricky and messy

Simon is a charming kid; he’s got a solid home life and a family he adores, a Subaru station wagon, and a small but quality group of friends to fill it. He sees what life is like for out student Ethan. Though Ethan brushes away insults with sassy and clever retorts, Simon doesn’t think he could take the ridicule with such ease. His dad is a cool and loving guy, but he also makes joking remarks that are less than open-minded when it comes to sexuality. His little sister looks up to him wholly, and his therapist mother is cautiously aware that her son has a secret but doesn’t want to broach the subject. His best friend Leah has been around since elementary school, and Simon is far too close to her to see how completely in love with him she is. Keeping his secret means he has to lie to everyone around him, and when the news finally breaks, his world starts to fall apart because of it. His friends are hurt and angry, and all eyes at the school are now on Simon and his mysterious pen pal Blue.

Glen Simon’s betrayal of his closest friends in his effort to protect himself makes the film worth watching. Without that complication, Love Simon would be an afterschool TV special, but instead

it’s a well-observed look at the travails and pitfalls of modern day high school.

Simon truly feels lost and abandoned when he’s outed. That was supposed to be his decision, when and how, but that was taken away from him. In one of the film’s most touching moments, Simon’s little sister Nora comes to him and reveals that she saw him outed on the school gossip site, but he shuts her out, unready and unable to process it all. Like John Hughes films such as Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, 16 Candles, and The Breakfast Club, Love, Simon gets right to the heart of what it means to be an awkward adolescent trying to find your place in the

world. The screenplay by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, which is based on the YA novel Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, delivers a big-hearted story that celebrates a changing culture that’s trying to shake off its homophobic history.

It’s definitely worth a trip to the theater.

Anna I agree that the tension and anger between Simon and his friend group is key in keeping this film feeling genuine.

His friends aren’t mad over his sexuality; they’re mad because he manipulated them in order to keep it a secret. The kid who outs him, Martin, is the kind of kid you want to smack on the back of the head— he’s overly confident and outlandishly obnoxious, but really he’s insecure and overcompensating. The fact that he’s blackmailing Simon with screen grabs of private emails shows his emotional maturity still has a long way to go. He’s not a bad guy; he’s just immature and unsure where he fits in with his peer group. All the characters are relatable in one way or another, and even more so it’s a pretty accurate portrayal of high school dynamics, much like the John Hughes films you mentioned and one of my favorites: 10 Things I Hate About You. It’s funny and heartwarming, and a great film featuring a gay teen protagonist.

If this film helps anyone to feel a little bit more at ease with owning their own story, I call that a win. The film is about a lot more than two people finding each other; it is about a young guy learning and constructing who he is at his core. It’s definitely worth a trip to the theater. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time which includes Anya Thorensen (Gina Rodriguez), Cass Sheppard (Tuva Novotny), and Josie Radek (Tessa Thompson). What they discover inside the ever-expanding phenomenon is a world transformed, with monstrous chimera-like creatures, such as a crocodile with shark teeth and a hideous bear-like creature with an exposed skull, that wander among strangely evolved flora.

This could easily be B-movie stuff, but Garland is more interested in the human emotions that drive this team of

explorers, and they all have their secrets.

Yes, there are moments of violence, gore, and horror, but this is a science-rich, thoughtfully constructed mind-bender of a story.

It’s not as good as Ex Machina, and its conclusion doesn’t live up to the film’s fascinating first two-thirds, but it’s deftly acted and slyly directed, and it does something that’s become increasingly difficult: It’s taken a genre overgrown by cliché and found a fresh approach. (115 min.)

The Emerald City Traveling to the Pacific Northwest and a busy city surrounded by rich history

G

etting off the plane and walking into Sea-Tac—yes I’m a seasoned Seattle girl so I’m going to abbreviate the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport—I feel like I’m in another world. Granted it’s 9 a.m. and not nearly as crowded or busy as LAX. I’m traveling with a few close friends to Seattle and it’s the first weekend of March.

We had some time to explore a new city, so what better place than Seattle?

Throughout our stay, the weather is a nice 40 to 45 degrees, which is a welcome change from California. Although, I might stick out like a sore thumb because I’m wearing white knitted gloves and every native around is sporting bare hands.

Of course, our first stop is Pike Place Market, which is alive with people walking around checking out the food stands and the fish. There are so many smells, warm cinnamon from Cinnamon Works and coffee beans from Ghost Alley Espresso.

The path through the market leads us to the Central Waterfront with the Seattle Aquarium, Seattle Great Wheel, and the virtual ride Wings Over Washington.

We opt for the virtual ride because it seems very unique. If you have ever been

99 99

to Disneyland’s California Adventure Park, it’s very similar to the ride Soarin’ Over California. Sitting in a theater seat, a spirit eagle takes you on a flight across the state of Washington. The screen is dome-like and it incorporates laser projection so you feel immersed in beautiful images of Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park.

When it comes to nightlife, I asked a few friends for recommendations. I got an overwhelming amount of suggestions to go to Flatstick Pub. It’s an underground mini golf course and pub! I mean, it’s the best collaboration of games and has a huge selection of local beers. While you wait for your turn in the course, which is in the shape of letters that spell out “Seattle,” there is tabletop duffleboard, Jenga, and board games.

After a game and a couple of beers we take the Link light rail to Capitol Hill and Dick’s Drive-in. In 1955, it was the second drive-in opened in the city.

Fun fact: In 2013, Mackelmore filmed a portion of his music video “White Walls” on the roof of the drive-in. I heard good things about the Deluxe Burger, which is 1/8-pound grilled patty, melted cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise, and pickled relish.

While I can’t definitively say it’s better than In-n-Out, it’s up there—I know, such a California girl thing to say. Roll your eyes all you want, but there is something about Seattle that I really love. It’s busy with people but I don’t feel the chaos of Los Angeles or San Francisco.

After sleeping off a load of carbs, we stumble into a huge building draped in silver, purple, and light blue—The Museum of Pop Culture. The place really lives up to its name. It’s home to exhibits that display the creativity of musicians, filmmakers, and game designers. The best exhibit has to be Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses. It’s an intimate look at the Seattle natives and their groundbreaking contribution to the music scene. It’s littered with rare photographs, instruments, and notes from the road.

The last thing on our checklist is an underground tour with Beneath the Streets. We go on a one-hour historical trip, guided by the hilarious Patti Amundson.

We walk through the underground passageways that made up the original city of Seattle—beneath Pioneer Square.

Constructed in the 1890s, an accidental fire involving a glue pot sparked The Great Seattle Fire that destroyed 31 blocks.

Instead of rebuilding the city over the rubble, the city was rebuilt one to two stories above the original level. So the “ground floor,” if you want to call it that, was used for storage and later abandoned.

It’s mainly a tourist attraction now—and an entertaining one at that.

I just got a taste of all there is to see in the Pacific Northwest. I can’t wait to come back and explore some more. Δ

Gnomes aren’t behind San Miguel’s most mysterious hot sauce

S

omething special happens when you throw veggies in a smoker.

Peppers emerge richer and more complex, beets, earthier. Carrots somehow become a sweeter, bolder version of themselves. Like an Instagram filter or the mastering on a great album, these foods just become more of themselves.

They show a whole new attitude.

This is what San Miguel local Jane Hian found after messing with her own smoker on an average taco night.

Although she might claim that her new, fiery condiment—Gnome Sauce— is made by mischievous garden creatures—let me tell you the Heat seekers truth.

Blow up her feed. You can find Gnome Sauce on It’s not magic; it’s smoke. Well, Instagram @gnomehotsauce and purchase bottles at a smoke + farm fresh root veggies + range of businesses across the Central Coast, including Spice of Life in Paso Robles and Mission Market in San a lot of playful experimentation.

Hian is (like me) one of those strange people who has a specific hot sauce for every kind of food and feeling: one for eggs, one for soup, one for salad greens—the list goes on forever.

For folks like us, it’s not about pain, it’s about adding something new to the plate.

“I’m not a hot sauce head; I’m not interested in burning my face off,” she said. “It’s not about really vinegary for me, either. I just really love flavor.”

Hian got into hot sauce years ago, while traveling in Belize (it was a fateful bottle HOT STUFF of Marie Sharp’s that turned her to the Gnome Sauce hot side of life). isn’t your average There was just something irresistible vinegary, fiery about the combo of red habanero peppers, drizzle.

SMOKIN’ No, the gnomes didn’t really make it.

Actually, Gnome Sauce creator Jane Hian can take credit for crafting the first smoked hot sauce on the Central Coast.

@flavorslo Anaheim peppers, dried ancho chilies, lime juice, cilantro, salt, onion, garlic, and tomato, as well as carrots and beets, which add a unique and earthy depth of flavor.

The sauce is thick and viscous, dribbling out of the bottle in satisfying blobs (I like a dab on fried eggs, chicken tacos, charred potatoes, and even buttered green beans).

The true-to-life smoke flavor shows no trace of weird chemical “liquid smoke” attributes, like you might find in some cheap barbecue sauces. It’s not super spicy, but it’s got kick to spare.

In a nutshell: It is Hian’s dream hot sauce, finally realized.

“At first it wasn’t smoky enough, so we actually just threw all the vegetables in the smoker. We made it for friends and everyone was loving it,” she said.

“I started the business about seven months ago and it’s been incredible. This community has been so, so supportive.”

You can find Gnome Sauce mostly north of the grade, including wineries, markets, cheese shops, and boutiques (check her website for all the locales). I suspect the reddish-brown condiment will sneak its way south in 2018. Note: True heat seekers will be glad to know that Hian is also working on what she calls a “true, burn-your-face-off” flavor, out next month. That said, it will never top the first. The original.

As it turns out, you only need one really good flavor (and one really specific dream) to push a business forward.

The hot sauce maker produces about 16, 12-bottle cases per week, and they usually all sell out.

Yes, there have been mishaps, where hot pepper sauce has found its way onto skin and eyes: Yes, Hian’s husband has revolted against giving away the free labor necessary to fill each glass bottle by hand.

Yes, it’s difficult to source all of the ingredients locally and seek out the freshest, most choice peppers, cilantro, et al. But—if you ask a true lover of hot sauce like Hian—it’s really no big deal.

ENTREES

H AYLEY’S P ICKS When you slather a delicious flavor coating on top of already-irresistible, perfectly cooked bacon, you just win. Right? Well, maybe it wasn’t that simple for the Cal Poly Meats Team, who obviously worked their butts off to ensure that their own thoughtfully crafted pork would wow the recent Association of Meat Processors’ annual Cured Meats Competition, held last month at UC Davis.

These hardworking students—who went up against 25 other entries, including UC Davis, Chico State, and Fresno State— came home proud. Not only did they win, but they broke UC Davis’ five-year winning streak for the coveted Norm Eggen Championship Cup (named for former ’70s/’80s era Cal Poly meats lecturer Norm Eggen). In past competitions, the collegiate class featured a variety of sausage products (good, but not flavored bacon good).

This year, the team developed, processed, and produced a flavor-coated hickorysmoked bacon from concept to completion— and boy, did it please the judges’ jowls.

Coached by Jim Douglass, manager of Cal Poly’s J and G Lau Family Meat Processing Center, the Cal Poly Meats Team is comprised of eight students, all of whom are California residents: animal science senior Veronica Staggs of Columbia (who also earned the Grand Champion Award for her maple bourbon pecan bacon); animal science junior Connor Smith of Crescent City; graduate student Lane Koontz of Tulare; animal science junior Kira Olson of Oak Run; animal science senior Catie Field of San Luis Obispo; bioresource and agricultural engineering major Toni DeMatteo of Upland; agricultural business senior Beaujena DeSilva of San Luis Obispo; and graduate student Morgan Metheny of Atascadero. If you’re still thinking about that award winning maple bourbon pecan bacon, I don’t blame you.

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.

LegaL Notices the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 3/8/2018. All American Foreclosure Service, 1363 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 (805) 543-7088.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION The City of Pismo Beach has completed the Draft Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the proposed Pismo Beach General Plan Circulation Element Update Project.

The Draft IS/MND found the following environmental factors to be less than significant with mitigation incorporated: Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use, Noise, Transportation and Traffic, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Utilities and Service Systems.

APPLICANT: City of Pismo Beach PROJECT LOCATION: The project location includes the incorporated City of Pismo Beach (also referred to as the study area) in San Luis Obispo County, California.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City’s 2018 General Plan Circulation Element Update (GPCEU) Goals and Policies will provide the overall direction the City desires in planning and implementing the expansion of the circulation system to meet the changing travel demands of the community.The Implementing Policies will establish the link between the City’s goals and the implementing programs, and guide how the programs will actually be implemented. The programs are the specific action items that will accomplish the improvement or plan that will meet and serve the expanded community need. The guiding and implementing policies presented in this report reflect the City’s vision for a comprehensive circulation system that is safe and efficient for pedestrians, bicycles, trucks, automobiles, and public transportation.

The City’s 2018 Circulation Plan was developed through transportation analysis and public input to guide the future circulation planning and improvements to the Pismo Beach circulation system. The Circulation Plan includes the following four goals: Goal 1:

Provide a circulation system that supports safe and efficient travel for all modes of transportation.

Goal 2:

Plan and provide pedestrian and bicycle facilities to encourage and meet the walking and bicycling needs of the City.

Goal 3:

Promote the use of public transit and seasonal shuttle services.

Goal 4:

Provide connectivity and guidance for safe rail and truck movement of people and goods.

Associated guiding and implementing policies could result in the following improvements to the existing transportation network (refer to Figure 5): •

Proposed roadway removal along Mattie Road

•

Proposed roadway extensions along Mattie Road and Frady Lane

•

New all-way stop control located at the intersection of Stimson Avenue and Cypress Street

•

New roundabout located at the intersection of US 101 and SR 1

•

New traffic signals located at the following intersections:

•

•

o

Pomeroy Avenue and Cypress Street (with pedestrian scramble)

o

SR 1 and Stimson Avenue

o

El Camino Real and US 101

New signal timings at the following intersections: o

Five Cities Drive and 4th Street

o

Five Cities Drive and Oak Park Boulevard

o

Oak Park Boulevard and West Branch Street

New stripe right turn pockets located at the following intersections: o

SR 1 and Wadsworth Avenue

o

SR 1 and Main Street

o

o

SR 1 and Hinds Avenue

•

Restriping on Price Street at the intersection of Stimson Avenue

•

New turn lane at the intersection of Five Cities Drive and the US 101 on/off ramps

HAZARDOUS WASTE/SUBSTANCES: Based on a search of the California Department of Toxic Substance Control’s (DTSC) EnviroStor database and the SWRCB Geotracker system, there are several closed leaking underground storage cleanup sites in the City and one open underground injection control site located on Price Canyon Road, north of US 101.

Given the developed condition of the majority of the City, it is highly likely that the surface soils along existing roadways are affected by deposition of contaminants, including aerial lead, oils, fuels, and other lubricants.

PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD: Comments on the Draft IS/ MND may be received in writing between March 23 and April 23, 2018. Written comments should be sent to the City of Pismo Beach, Community Development Department, 760 Mattie Road, Pismo Beach, CA 93401.

PUBLIC MEETING: A public study session is scheduled for April 10th, 2018 at 6:00 p.m., in the City Hall Council Chambers located at 760 Mattie Road, Pismo Beach CA, 93449.

AVAILABILITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The Draft IS/MND is available for public review during regular business hours at the City of Pismo Beach at the address listed above and online at <pismobeach. org>.

LegaL Notices NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: JOSEPH NOEL WEBER CASE NUMBER: 18PR - 0066

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: JOSEPH NOEL WEBER A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by MICHAEL E. WEBER in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that MICHAEL E. WEBER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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: MAY 1, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm Street, 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 DE154) 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.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Imagine a bedtime story you’d like to hear and the person you’d like to hear it from. Testify at freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The “School of Hard Knocks” is an oldfashioned idiom referring to the unofficial and accidental course of study available via life’s tough experiences. The wisdom one gains through this alternate approach to education may be equal or even superior to the knowledge that comes from a formal university or training program. I mention this, Aries, because in accordance with astrological omens, I want to confer upon you a diploma for your new advanced degree from the School of Hard Knocks. (P.S.: When PhD students get their degrees from Finland’s University of Helsinki, they are given top hats and swords as well as diplomas. I suggest you reward yourself with exotic props, too.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Europeans used to think that all swans were white. It was a reasonable certainty given the fact that all swans in Europe were that color. But in 1697, Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh and his sailors made a pioneering foray to the southwestern coast of the land we now call Australia. As they sailed up a river the indigenous tribe called Derbarl Yerrigan, they spied black swans. They were shocked. The anomalous creatures invalidated an assumption based on centuries of observations. Today, a “black swan” is a metaphor referring to an unexpected event that contravenes prevailing theories about the way the world works. I suspect you’ll soon experience such an incongruity yourself. It might be a good thing! Especially if you welcome it instead of resisting it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Crayola is one of the world’s foremost crayon manufacturers. The geniuses in charge of naming its crayon colors are playful and imaginative. Among the company’s standard offerings, for example, are Pink Sherbet, Carnation Pink, Tickle Me Pink, Piggy Pink, Pink Flamingo, and Shocking Pink. Oddly, however, there is no color that’s simply called “Pink.” I find that a bit disturbing. As much as I love extravagant creativity and poetic whimsy, I think it’s also important to cherish and nurture the basics. In accordance with the astrological omens, that’s my advice for you in the coming weeks. Experiment with fanciful fun, but not at the expense of the fundamentals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to Vice magazine, Russian scientist Anatoli Brouchkov is pleased with the experiment he tried. He injected himself with 3.5-million-year-old bacteria that his colleagues had dug out of the permafrost in Siberia.

The infusion of this ancient life form, he says, enhanced his energy and strengthened his immune system. I can’t vouch for the veracity of his claim, but I do know this: It’s an apt metaphor for possibilities you could take advantage of in the near future: drawing on an old resource to boost your power, for example, or calling on a well-preserved part of the past to supercharge the present.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Booze has played a crucial role in the development of civilization, says biomolecular archaeologist Patrick McGovern. The process of creating this mindaltering staple was independently discovered by many different cultures, usually before they invented writing.

The buzz it provides has “fired our creativity and fostered the development of language, the arts, and religion.” On the downside, excessive consumption of alcohol has led to millions of bad decisions and has wrecked countless lives.

Everything I just said is a preface to my main message, Leo: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to transform your habitual perspective, but only if you do so safely and constructively. Whether you choose to try intoxicants, wild adventures, exhilarating travel, or edgy experiments, know your limits.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be favorable for making agreements, pondering mergers, and strengthening bonds. You’ll be wise to deepen at least one of your commitments. You’ll

stir up interesting challenges if you consider the possibility of entering into more disciplined and dynamic unions with worthy partners. Do you trust your own perceptions and insights to guide you toward ever-healthier alliances? Do what you must to muster that trust.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you want people to know who you really are and savor you for your unique beauty, you must be honest with those people. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with accuracy. There’s a similar principle at work if you want to know who you really are and savor yourself for your unique beauty: You must be honest with yourself. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with accuracy. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to practice these high arts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your journey in the coming weeks may be as weird as an R-rated telenovela, but with more class.

Outlandish, unpredictable, and even surreal events could occur, but in such a way as to uplift and educate your soul. Labyrinthine plot twists will be medicinal as well as entertaining. As the drama gets curioser and curioser, my dear Scorpio, I expect you will learn how to capitalize on the odd opportunities it brings. In the end, you will be grateful for this ennobling respite from mundane reality!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence,” wrote philosopher Erich Fromm. I would add a corollary for your rigorous use during the last nine months of 2018: “Love is the only effective and practical way to graduate from your ragged, long-running dilemmas and start gathering a new crop of fresh, rousing challenges.” By the way, Fromm said love is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling in our hearts. It’s a creative force that fuels our willpower and unlocks hidden resources.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): My goal here is to convince you to embark on an orgy of self-care—to be as sweet and tender and nurturing to yourself as you dare to be. If that influences you to go too far in providing yourself with luxurious necessities, I’m ok with it. And if your solicitous efforts to focus on your own health and well-being make you appear a bit self-indulgent or narcissistic, I think it’s an acceptable price to pay. Here are more key themes for you in the coming weeks: basking in the glow of selflove; exulting in the perks of your sanctuary; honoring the vulnerabilities that make you interesting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One day, Beatles’ guitarist George Harrison decided to compose his next song’s lyrics “based on the first thing I saw upon opening any book.” He viewed this as a divinatory experiment, as a quest to incorporate the flow of coincidence into his creative process. The words he found in the first book were “gently weeps.” They became the seed for his tune “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Rolling Stone magazine ultimately named it one of “The Greatest Songs of All Time” and the 10th best Beatle song. In accordance with the astrological omens, I recommend you try some divinatory experiments of your own in the coming weeks. Use life’s fun little synchronicities to generate playful clues and unexpected guidance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Millions of you Pisceans live in a fairy tale world. But I suspect that very few of you will be able to read this horoscope and remain completely ensconced in your fairy tale world. That’s because I have embedded subliminal codes in these words that will at least temporarily transform even the dreamiest among you into passionate pragmatists in service to your feistiest ideals. If you’ve read this far, you are already feeling more disciplined and organized. Soon you’ll be coming up with new schemes about how to actually materialize a favorite fairy tale in the form of real-life experiences. ∆
