Pismo cancels City Council elections after no one files to run against incumbents

ismo Beach voters may notice something missing from their ballots when they step into the voting booth on Nov. 6. Members of the City Council voted unanimously to cancel elections for mayor and two council seats at an Aug. 21 meeting. The decision was the result of a total lack of candidates filing to run against incumbent Mayor Ed Waage and Councilmembers Sheila Blake and Mary Ann Reiss. “This is historic,” Waage said. “We’ve never had a case where we’ve canceled an election before.” According to the state’s election code, a city’s governing body can cancel an election and appoint nominees to elected office if the number of candidates doesn’t exceed the number of open elected positions. In Pismo Beach’s case, Waage, Blake, and Reiss were the only candidates to complete all their paperwork to run for election by the Aug. 10 filing deadline. Pismo Beach voters will still get to vote in statewide and county-level races, as well as on ballot measures. With the Aug. 21 vote, Waage will serve another two-year term as mayor and Blake and Reiss will serve for another four years. City staff characterized the situation as rare, and noted that canceling the election would save the city about $10,000.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CITY PISMO BEACH

PERFECT POLICY? Pismo Beach City Council opted to cancel citywide elections for this November after no candidates filed to run against the council’s incumbents.

Pismo’s lack of electoral challengers makes it an exception in South SLO County, where two neighboring cities are preparing for competitive council races with multiple candidates. In Arroyo Grande, five candidates are running for two seats on the City Council, and a current council member is also challenging the incumbent mayor. Grover Beach has three candidates running for mayor, and another three candidates, including two incumbents, are running for two City Council seats.

Speaking at the Pismo Beach meeting, Waage characterized the vote as a sign of the public’s confidence in the current members of the council. “I think it’s a tribute to how we are operating together,” Waage said. “I think they see we are doing great things for the city and we work well together.” Blake didn’t seem as sure. “It’s either incredible apathy or an endorsement of our behavior,” she said. “I still haven’t decided which one it is.” Δ —Chris McGuinness

At a special meeting on Aug. 1, the district also learned that not all homeowners or customers received a notice in the mail. During public comment, resident Sherri Bell said that Cambria CSD General Manager Jerry Gruber had mentioned at a July 12 meeting that he had “done his homework and was ready to go on his end.” “Not a real confidence booster for Cambrians who expect sound financial management practices of the person in charge with managing our multi-million dollar and growing CCSD budget,” Bell said. “This is not the first time he neglected his homework; Cambrians have paid dearly for his actions, inactions, and missteps. Is there any wonder why a Prop. 218 protest is being mounted?” According to the general manager’s report, sending out the revised notices will cost anywhere in between $2,000 and $4,500. Gruber did not reply to New Times’ request for comment before press time. District board member Harry Farmer said he agreed with the public’s concerns but hoped they understood the board’s overall efforts. “Obviously there is past history here where there is not a tremendous amount of trust with regard to how the district management and the board operate, so we’re trying to kind of turn the aircraft carrier out there in an ocean of molasses,” Farmer said at the special meeting. Currently, residents pay a $13.79 monthly charge for water that could increase to $15.86 in November 2018, $17.45 in July 2019, and $18.32 in July 2020. They pay a sustainable water facility charge of $6.50 that could increase to $7.93 in November 2018, $9.04 in July 2019, and $10.13 in July 2020. The sewer payment would go up from $30.29 to $35.74 in November 2018, $41.10 in July 2019, and $46.03 in July 2020.

The funds from the proposed rates would go toward operating and maintaining the CCSD’s water, sustainable water facility, and sewer systems. This includes costs for repairing and replacing aging infrastructure—such as improvements that the sustainable water facility needs in order to comply with regulatory requirements. Community members who submitted a protest form for the previous Proposition 218 notice must resubmit their protest letter. Letters submitted before the new mailers were sent out on Aug. 17 will not be counted. Protest forms can be found online at the district website or at the district office. On Aug. 22 district President Amanda Rice posted on the Facebook group Cambria Open Forum, saying that virtual protests would not be counted. The new Proposition 218 hearing date is slated for Oct. 4. —Karen Garcia

Cambria resends water rates to the community

The Cambria community can once again check their mailboxes for a Proposition 218 notice about proposed water rate increase. The first mailer contained noticing errors, a mistake that some community members blame on the Cambria Community Services District’s general manager. The initial notice, mailed out on July 13, failed to specify whether the three rates could be protested individually.

Settlement in dog attack lawsuit will move forward

The landlords of a home where a former Grover Beach police officer’s dog escaped before attacking two people, killing one, will be able to settle with the victims and their families. In an Aug. 16 ruling, SLO County Superior Court Judge Barry LaBarbera said a proposed $500,000 settlement between landlords Christopher and Monica Belavic and the family of David Fear, a 64-year-old Grover Beach resident who was killed in the February 2016 attack, and Betty Long, an 85-year-old woman who was mauled, could move forward. Other defendants named in the lawsuit, including the dog’s owner, Alex Geiger, opposed the settlement, which could NEWS continued page 6

leave them responsible for millions of dollars in damages. “It appears this settlement was reached in good faith,” LaBarbera wrote in an Aug. 16 ruling. Geiger kept Neo, a trained police K-9 he’d worked with while previously employed with the city of Exeter’s Police Department, on the property he rented from the Belavics. According to investigators, Neo escaped from the home’s backyard in February 2016 and attacked Long as she was walking her dog. Neo also attacked Fear when he tried to help Long. Fear later died from his injuries. The attack not only resulted in criminal charges against Geiger, who left the Grover Beach Police Department shortly after the incident, but also sparked a lawsuit on behalf of Long and the Fear family. Defendants in the lawsuit included Geiger, the city of Exeter, the city of Grover Beach, and the Belavics. Once the settlement is finalized, the Belavics will no longer be defendants in the case. Those who remain could shoulder the cost of millions in damages should they take the lawsuit to trial and lose. Long claimed she incurred more than $10.2 million in damages, and Fear’s family is claiming more than $30.1 million in damages in connection with his death, according to court records. In addition to the lawsuit, Geiger is also facing felony charges of failing to maintain a dangerous animal and involuntary manslaughter in connection with the attack. A criminal trial was originally scheduled to begin on Aug. 13 but was pushed back to October, according to court records. Geiger pleaded no contest to the charges against him. —Chris McGuinness

Port San Luis takes interest in Diablo Canyon assets

As Diablo Canyon Power Plant gears up for its decommissioning process, the Port San Luis Harbor District is eyeing some of PG&E’s assets. At an Aug. 21 special meeting, the district compiled a list of Diablo Canyon land and facilities that would potentially benefit the port. One area of interest is Wild Cherry Canyon, a property leased by Homefed Corp from a subsidiary of PG&E. Who gets control of Wild Cherry Canyon and the road that leads to the lighthouse is a big concern for Deborah Foughty, the executive director of the Point San Luis Lighthouse Keepers. She spoke during the meeting’s public comment, saying she was supportive of the port gaining the property. The lighthouse is on Diablo Canyonowned property. For security measures, the road and hiking trail that lead to the lighthouse are closed to the general public, but the Keepers volunteers who operate and lead interpretive tours of the restored lighthouse utilize Wild Cherry Canyon as a parking and staging area for its visitors to board their trolleys. “If we lost access to a staging area, we can’t stage in Avila because you know what kind of a parking mess that is. So our program totally falls apart,” Foughty told New Times. “It’s our largest revenue maker to keep that lighthouse in operation, so we’ve got to look at that first.” Other areas of interest include the property behind Harbor Terrace and

VIEWER DISCRETION by Jayson Mellom the marina. According to a staff report, obtaining Wild Cherry Canyon could provide a parking lot, a trail to Harbor Terrace, or the opportunity to collaborate with a nonprofit to create an open space. Property behind the Harbor Terrace project could offer a chance to expand the campground area. And the marina could lend itself as a transient dock, boat storage, or a co-op with Cal Poly. In 2016, PG&E announced its plans for the closure of Diablo Canyon at the expiration of its Nuclear Regulatory Commission operating license. The company created the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel in order for the public and PG&E to have a dialogue on topics regarding the decommissioning of the power plant. In August and September the panel is offering four public workshops to gather input on potential future uses of Diablo Canyon land and facilities. —Karen Garcia

County to explore funding options for affordable housing

Local housing advocates and builders have calculated a $2 million to $4 million annual gap in funds needed to produce sufficient affordable housing units in San Luis Obispo County. In response, on Aug. 21, the SLO County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to study new county revenue measures that could fill the gap. “We have a target now. That’s useful,” said 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson, who formed a subcommittee with 1st District Supervisor John Peschong in February to confer with local housing stakeholders on the issue. As a result of the board’s vote, county officials will now evaluate the feasibility and revenue potential of several funding options, including a general obligation bond or special purpose bond for affordable housing, a 1 percent increase to the Transient Occupancy Tax (paid for by visitors staying in hotels or vacation rentals), a fee or tax on vacation rentals or second homes, a quarter-percent sales tax increase, and an allocation of newly established cannabis taxes. With a funding injection from the county, local affordable housing builders, like People’s Self-Help Housing or a housing authority, could receive additional state and federal funds that would ultimately make more affordable housing projects feasible. Affordable housing, defined as housing accessible to households earning less than the area’s median income, is currently being built at rate of 12 units per year in SLO County. That is below what the state has determined is needed, and the county’s financial contributions to the effort have fallen woefully short, advocates said on Aug. 21. “I think everybody believes we have a problem,” Peschong said. “As a board, it’s imperative that we get this moving as quick as possible so we can get some resolution on the directions we want to go.” In addition to evaluating the new revenue generators, supervisors agreed to continue deliberations on a new fee structure for the county’s inclusionary housing ordinance—which requires

called Californians for Population Stabilization. According to the organization’s website, the mission of the group is to “work to formulate and advance policies and programs designed to stabilize the population of California.” The Southern Poverty Law Center lists the organization as a hate group.

developers to build affordable units in their projects or pay in-lieu fees—and consider allocating county general funds to affordable housing. The board also voted to waive permit-processing fees for affordable housing projects. The supervisors were less united on the inclusionary housing ordinance, which is the only current local source of funding for affordable housing. Supervisors Lynn Compton (4th District) and Debbie Arnold (5th District) have consistently opposed the policy, labeling it as a tax on market-rate housing. “[It is] an added burden to a different group of folks trying to enter into the housing market,” Arnold said. —Peter Johnson

Newcomers campaign for Paso Council seat

Three newcomers are vying against incumbent John Hamon for two open Paso Robles City Council spots in the November election. Maria Garcia, one of the co-founders of the Hispanic Business Association in Paso Robles, a pharmacy technician, and a saleswoman for Mary Kay Cosmetics, said she is running to bring a diverse voice and representation to the council. Garcia moved to Paso Robles from Texas about 12 years ago and wants to improve public safety, economic development, and quality of life for residents. Garcia said she’s created a connection with her community through her jobs— especially with the business association. “I’m helping so many people not just fulfill their dreams but I’m also helping Paso’s economy stay afloat,” she said. Andy Pekema, owner of Amendment Development (which makes home décor out of run-down pianos) and a Central Coast native who recently moved to Paso, decided he would run after he noticed how upset his neighbors were over the city’s roads. “I strongly want to put more focus on getting our roads into a reasonable condition,” he said. Candidate Michael Rivera has served on the Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Commission, Santa Barbara County Private Industry Council, and as a planning commissioner for the city of Guadalupe. He is listed as the secretary for a Santa Barbara-based organization

Complaints to a hotline set up to receive anonymous reports of financial waste, fraud, and abuse in the county government more than doubled in the last fiscal year. According to a new report from the SLO County Auditor Controller’s Office, the county’s whistleblower hotline saw a 111 percent increase in complaints for the fiscal year 2017-18 when compared with the previous year. However, out of the dozens of complaints the office received, only one of them was substantiated. The county established the whistleblower hotline in 2013. It enables county employees and members of the public to call a toll-free hotline or use an online system to anonymously report suspected instances of financial fraud, waste, theft, and mismanagement. Since its inception, the hotline has received more than 137 such reports. “I think more more people are becoming aware of the hotline,” county Auditor Controller Jim Erb told New Times. In fiscal year 2017-18, the auditor’s office fielded a total of 40 complaints from the hotline, up from 19 the previous fiscal year. Of the 40 complaints, 60 percent were submitted online, and 83 percent of them were submitted anonymously. Those included 14 complaints involving alleged misconduct, eight involving possible violations of state or federal regulations, and five involving alleged safety or sanitation violations. Only a complaint about a county employee using a cellphone while driving was substantiated. The bulk of the remaining complaints were referred to various county department heads for follow-up. “We get a lot of complaints about employee misconduct,” Erb said. “We pass them on to the department heads and they can evaluate whether it’s a problem or not.” Erb said that individuals who want to report to the hotline should try to give as much information as possible. “We need as much detail as they can provide,” he said. To report to the county’s whistleblower hotline, call (855) 326-9623 or go to reportlineweb.com/sanluisobispo. —Chris McGuinness

Mudslides, fires, and the closure of Highway 1 affected business and foot traffic on the North Coast

riving from Morro Bay to Big Sur takes about three hours. The 108mile trek on Highway 1 lends itself to not only soaking in the scenic route but also pit-stopping along the way. The highway re-opened at the end of July after being closed for 14 months, and its closure took a toll on businesses and tourism in the surrounding communities. Last year, three natural disasters put discovering the coast on hold. In the beginning of 2017, gentle rain became pummeling storms, and naturally, the freshly softened mud and rock started moving downhill. In March of that year, a landslide severely damaged the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge—it was condemned, demolished, and eventually rebuilt. About 35 miles south of the bridge was closed to vehicles. Two months later, the Mud Creek slide gave way and covered about 12 miles of road—from Ragged Point to Gorda. Jennifer Little, the city of Morro Bay’s tourism manager, said that on top of those two disasters, Highway 41 was also closed due to a mudslide that was 6 miles east of the city. “It was months after months that we were finally going to see a turn and then the next thing would happen. With all three of those happening together, it was really devastating for all of the North Coast, not just Morro Bay,” Little said. She said businesses in the area were— and still are—stable, but it was definitely a struggle. Little said that tourism was also seeing a decline. Visitor occupancy in April 2017 was at 71 percent, and a year later, it had dropped to 61 percent. But it didn’t necessarily translate to a drop in transient occupancy tax revenue for the city. In the 2015-16 fiscal year (from July to June), Morro Bay collected $3.1 million; for the 2016-17 fiscal year, it pulled in $3.3 million; and in 2017-18, it was $3.4 million. She contributes the uptick to collaboration between the city’s tourism department and the community. Little and her team created five new events to entice potential tourists to Morro Bay. There was Winter Fest, a 12-day festival with activities occurring throughout the city, and the Santa crawl, which called for participants to dress up as Santa or an elf and hit up restaurants and bars hosting wine tasting. The crawl was so successful that the team created another for Saint Patrick’s Day, called the Leprechaun Crawl. Last year was also the first time that waterfront restaurants sponsored the annual Lighted Boat Parade in the Morro Bay harbor. Participating restaurants teamed up with commercial vessels and decorated them for the parade’s first night of the event. “I mean we really buckled down and just worked really, really hard to make the worst a little less bad,” she said. “Everybody saw the need that we all came together to better our situation.” While the community did face a

Twist owns The Paddleboard Company which opened up on the Embarcadero in 2010, after the only other specialty shop closed. She said when the road closures occurred, it didn’t affect her too much because winter is her off-season—she banks on selling apparel then.

The letter stated that the board was concerned about the closure’s continued impact on the Ragged Point, San Simeon, Cambria, and Cayucos lodging properties that represent more than 73 percent of the tax and assessment contribution within the county’s tourism district. “In recent months we have seen a decline up to 30 percent in transient occupancy tax/bed tax that is directly related to the Highway 1 closure,” the letter stated.

All eyes on G Campaigns for and against the initiative to ban new oil and gas wells in SLO County take shape

an Luis Obispo County voters will decide in November whether to enact a countywide ban on fracking and new oil drilling, by passing or rejecting Measure G at the ballot box. As election day nears, the campaigns to shape public opinion on both sides of the issue are building momentum and funds—and the people behind them are made up of familiar faces, including a sitting county supervisor.

Deep pockets for ‘No on G’ Between Jan. 1 and June 30, the committee No on Measure G: Stop the Oil and Gas Shutdown received two large donations from two oil companies. Sentinel Peak Resources and California Resources Corporation contributed $500,000 and $225,000, respectively, to the group. Sentinel Peak owns and operates the Price Canyon Oilfield in rural Arroyo Grande, while the California Resources Corporation is a Los Angeles oil and gas producer with sites in the LA, San Joaquin, Ventura, and Sacramento areas, according to its website. Aaron Hanke, campaign manager for No on Measure G, told New Times that the committee’s large, out-of-area donation is an indicator of a broader oil industry response to what he called “essentially a statewide measure to shut down the oil and gas industry.” Hanke is referring to similar measures that have been on ballots around the state, including in Monterey and Santa Barbara counties: Monterey voters passed Measure Z in 2016 (though its details are still being settled in court), while Santa Barbara voters rejected Measure P in 2014. “When you have an opposition that is working through multiple counties and collecting data for a bigger picture-type goal, your side also has to come together,” Hanke said.

He added that Measure G’s potential impact on oil production in the county could affect other aspects of the statewide oil industry, like refineries. “That has a trickle-down effect,” he said. As far as how No on Measure G has spent its war chest, the committee sent most of its funds thus far to attorneys and political campaign consultants. Top recipients include Santa Monica-based ballot measure consultant Winner and Mandabach Campaigns ($155,068); Nielsen Merksamer Parrinello Gross & Leoni LLC, a “preeminent political law, government law, and lobbying” firm based in Sacramento, according to its website ($123,858); and local campaign strategist Meridian Pacific Inc. ($111,445), which is co-owned and founded by 1st District SLO County Supervisor John Peschong. According to public campaign finance filings, No on Measure G retained Meridian Pacific for consulting services and campaign literature during the first half of the year. Hanke, the No on Measure G campaign manager, is a former vice president of Meridian Pacific and former senior advisor to state Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham. Since Peschong started his term as supervisor in 2017, he’s recused himself on board decisions related to the energy sector. Most recently, Peschong stepped off the dais in June for a decision on whether the county should include an economic impact analysis with Measure G’s voter materials. The remaining supervisors nearly failed to come to a consensus on that decision, and a 2-2 split vote would have sent it to court. Conflict of interest laws for elected officials require that 12 months pass from the time the official receives $500 or more in income from an individual or company, before he or she can vote on a public decision that would affect that individual or company. Peschong said Meridian Pacific has contracted with several oil industry clients for past campaigns, including the campaigns to fight Measures P and Z in

Santa Barbara and Monterey counties. Meridian also recently worked for Texasbased oil firm Philips 66 Company—and Peschong recused himself from the Board of Supervisors’ vote last year to deny a local rail spur extension project. “We’ve worked on a number of these types of campaigns and so I have recused myself,” Peschong told New Times. “I’ll continue to do so.” Peschong declined to comment about whether he’s considered forgoing business with the oil and gas industry on occasions when it conflicted with local issues or to allow the 12-month conflict-of-interest period to expire so he could cast votes as a supervisor. He also declined to share his opinion about Measure G. According to financial interest statements filed with the state, Meridian Pacific has a fair market value of more than $1 million, and Peschong retains a greater than 10 percent ownership interest. He earned more than $100,000 in salary at the firm in 2017.

Yes on G draws citizen and nonprofit support While No on Measure G has the deep-pocketed backing of two large oil companies, proponents of Measure G describe themselves as a local grassroots group drawing support from a wide variety of individuals. During the first half of 2018, the Coalition to Protect San Luis Obispo County collected $12,471 in monetary donations and another $42,814 in nonmonetary contributions. Charles Varni, co-chair of the committee, told New Times that a successful Measure G campaign will demand a significant getout-the-vote effort. “There’s no way we’re going to be able to compete with the money that Big Oil has. We know they’ll spend millions,” Varni said. “Our power comes from the citizens of SLO County and the 20,473 voters who signed our initiative.” The coalition thus far has received modest donations from 28 people or groups, the top four coming from the SLO County Community Foundation ($2,336), retired SLO resident Richard Krejsa and electrician Carl Meissner ($2,000 each), and Varni ($2,650). As campaign season heats up entering the fall, Varni

said fundraising efforts will also ramp up, with events, art auctions, and more around the county. “Fundraising is big goal of ours right now to fund what is a professional yet bare-bones and fundamentally grassroots campaign,” he said. In September, the Measure G coalition will open an official campaign office in SLO. Varni said volunteers have been out mobilizing voters by attending public events like farmers’ markets and city council meetings. Varni looks no further than the successful Monterey initiative in 2016 to find optimism. “We have a model over in Monterey County,” Varni said. “Big Oil spent $5.5 million to defeat Measure Z, and it passed with 56 percent ‘yes’ vote. That’s what we’re doing here.” While Measure G’s monetary support is largely local, the coalition has received $39,180 in “in-kind” services from a national nonprofit, the Center for Biological Diversity. The group made headlines in SLO County for its 2016 lawsuit against state agencies over former Price Canyon oilfield owner Freeport McMoRan’s application to exempt its wastewater injection aquifer from federal safe drinking water protections. Candace Kim, a senior organizer at Center for Biological Diversity, called the aquifer exemption, which is still under review by the EPA, a “huge giveaway” of “a potential source of drinking water.” She told New Times the organization has offered its attorneys and other staff resources to the Measure G effort. It also lent its support to the Measure Z campaign in Monterey. “We have a history of supporting community-led grassroots, county-level campaigns to ban fracking and dangerous drilling,” Kim said. “We do this because the safety net we have as a society isn’t working. It’s failing communities on a state and federal level.” Both Kim and Varni emphasized that the Measure G campaign is locally led, with mere complimentary assistance from the nonprofit. “They’re respectful that we’re a wellorganized grassroots organization and the leaders of this,” Varni said.

“We’ve adapted, and it’s become the new normal,” said Salio, who also serves as president of the Chief Probation Officers of California. The number of PRCS individuals in SLO fluctuates. According a 2017 annual report, the department receives an average of 26 new PRCS offenders per quarter, and their total population stood at about 137 in the final quarter of that same year. It’s a 12.3 percent increase from the same quarter in 2014. As of Aug. 16, Salio said that population stood at 234 individuals. Santa Barbara County has a slightly larger population of PRCS offenders, an estimated 304 in July 2018. An annual report from the Santa Barbara County Probation Department projected that that number would climb to 320 by June 2019. The state provides funding to help counties like SLO and Santa Barbara cope with the influx of more offenders to jails and probation departments due to realignment. Each county has flexibility in how it allocates those funds. Every county has a Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) plan, which is created and updated each year by a collection of county stakeholders including law enforcement, probation, social services, and others. According to data from the California Bureau of State and Community Corrections, SLO County received a realignment budget allocation of more than $8.7 million for the 2017-18 fiscal year, a $900,000 increase from the previous FY 2015-16 fiscal year. The SLO Probation Department got more than $1.2 million of the 2017-18 $3,457,872.00 funding, with the rest being divided up $3,025,393.00 between other county agencies like the Superior Court, the Public Defender’s and District Attorney’s offices, and county Drug and Alcohol and Mental Health agencies. Santa Barbara County had a total realignment budget allocation of more than $13.4 million for the 2017-18 fiscal year, up from $12.1 million in 2016-17. Some of that money helps provide programs and resources for PRCS offenders like Dennis. “Many of them are coming back home to their community,” said Santa Barbara County Probation Department Spokesperson Karyn Mulligan. “We want these services to be there for them.”

A NEW NORMAL Probation departments like those in SLO and Santa Barbara counties work with other agencies to provide support and assistance to offenders released back into the community under the state’s prison realignment efforts.

A GROWING POPULATION The number of post-release community supervision (PRCS) offenders in SLO County (shown in blue) continues to grow after the state’s prison realignment bill, also known as AB 109, passed in 2011.

services and resources he was able to access helped him break the cycle of crime and addiction that landed him in prison. “It changed me,” he says. “I did a whole 180 from where I was to where I am today.” Boyd’s story is the outcome that counties like SLO and Santa Barbara want as a result of the funding they invest in programs for offenders released back into their communities under AB 109. The goal, of course, is to help them lead productive lives and keep them from reoffending. To do that, counties have to meet myriad needs, everything from housing and work to substance abuse support and education. In SLO County, one of the most important tools in assisting newly released PRCS offenders is its PostRelease Offender Meeting (PROM). After they are released, inmates are required to attend a PROM meeting. The meetings, a collaboration between SLO County’s probation and behavioral health departments, act as a hub for PRCS offenders’ needs. There, they can be connected with a number of resources, including employment services, vocational training, transportation, substance abuse counseling, tattoo removal, and other support services. “We tell them that we are here to help them,” Salio said. “We really want them to take advantage of those services.” After PROM, the county also has three regional clinics staffed with a therapist and a case manager to provide ongoing support. In his video testimonial, Boyd said the program helped him pay rent at a sober living facility and enroll in classes at Cuesta College. Prior to that, he hadn’t set foot in a classroom for 38 years. Four years after finishing the program, Boyd says he can still rely on help and guidance from the county. “If I have a problem, I can walk into any of these counselors’ offices … and say ‘I need to talk,’” he said. Santa Barbara provides similar hubs for its PRCS population. The county operates two Probation Report and Resource Centers. Here, offenders can get needs assessments, participate in classes and programs, and get connected with services to meet their basic needs. In addition, the county is moving to strengthen its PRCS efforts through participation in Results First, an initiative to use public safety performance data and cost-benefit analysis to make decisions about where best to allocate realignment funding. Mulligan said the county is also in the process of hiring a community liaison, who will help facilitate communication feedback from the PRCS population. “We not only want to find out what needs they have, but we want to see how we can tell them about services we provide that they might not know about,” she said. All the funding and services offered in both counties are targeted for a very specific goal, keeping PRCS offenders from violating their probation. Salio noted that while PRCS offenders generally have a high risk of reoffending, their recidivism rate in SLO County was 31.3 percent in 2017, 6 percent lower than the county’s regular felony probation population and more than 10 percent below that of its misdemeanor probation population. Salio said that the lower rate was a direct result of the services the county was able to provide to PRCS offenders with realignment funds. “Realignment came with a lot of money,” he said. “We really invested in those services.” Whether he ends up in SLO or Santa Barbara, it’s clear that the chances of soon-to-be-released inmate Dennis’ story will end like Boyd’s will depend

was from New Times notifying him that he’d mistakenly written to a newspaper instead of a sober living facility, and the other was from a jail fellowship in Fresno. As his release looms, he worries about ending up on the street. “To be homeless at 56 years old would be a challenge I do not want to face,” he wrote.

heavily upon getting connected with the programs each county offers. “Without a place to live or a way to earn money, what would you estimate my chances of success?” he wrote.

Sober living

Even though he hasn’t lived on the Central Coast for the last two years, Dennis’ main concern is all too familiar to most non-incarcerated residents: housing. In his letters, Dennis worried about finding a place to live once he was released, specifically a recovery residence home. Dennis said he’d completed a substance abuse program while in prison. Formerly known as “sober living homes,” recovery residences give individuals recovering from addiction a semistructured drug-free living environment and support to stay clean. Both SLO and Santa Barbara counties acknowledged the vital role recovery residences play for PRCS offenders. SLO allocated $384,828 in 2016-17 for sober and traditional housing, while Santa Barbara County allocated more than $1.3 million. But availability of beds in residential recovery houses may not be enough to meet the demand of the PRCS population. In its annual report, SLO County stated that it expanded availability to 16 recovery residences with a total of

154 beds. However, the same report also stated that the percentage of offenders who received residential recovery services climbed from just 14 percent in 2012 to 71 percent in 2017. The demand for safe and sober living environments has increased countywide, and is strained even further by a lack of affordable housing. “Substance abuse and mental health treatment continue to be in high demand both in custody and in the community, stretching capacity to its limits,” the report stated. Santa Barbara County has a similar problem. Its 2017-18 realignment report stated that 11 percent of realigned offenders were able to secure subsidized housing last year. In an attempt to expand availability, the county added new sober living options in the Lompoc area and tasked a committee of various community stakeholders to inventory existing housing options and make recommendations to the Community Corrections Partnership group. “Maintaining long-term supportive housing and substance use continue to be substantial barriers for the realigned population,” the report stated. Whether Dennis ends up finding a recovery residence remains up in the air as he waits for his release. Of the 23 residences he wrote to from prison asking for information and placement, he said he’s received only two responses. One

While both Santa Barbara and SLO County have invested their realignment funding into a host of programs and services that could help address many of the concerns Dennis has, his letters indicate that he hasn’t heard much about those opportunities in the run-up to his release from state prison in Tehachapi. “This institution’s pre-release social workers have informed me that I am on my own in regards to obtaining any assistance,” he wrote. “I can ask [county] probation for some help once I am released. Basically, they are telling me that, initially, I will be on the street.” Under realignment, the Department of Corrections’ responsibility for a PRCSbound inmate is over once they are released. Documents from a 2017 training presentation showed that inmates do meet with correctional counselors, who along with other staff conduct prerelease assessments and reports, which are then delivered to county probation officials. When it comes to the offenders themselves, the presentation simply stated that they are given $200, less the cost of release clothing, and public transportation to their designated release program. “We don’t do a lot with them. It’s up to the county,” said California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesman Luis Patino. “We do a little on the pre-release efforts, but the whole supervision effort really goes to the county.” Whatever preparation he does get for life outside of prison, Dennis expressed a determination to try and make up for his past mistakes and hope that the support he might get from whichever county he ends up in would help him do just that. “I am 56 years old and starting completely over in life,” he wrote. “I am sincere in my endeavor to live life in a far better way.” ∆

orro Bay Boulevard is more often quiet than not. The sleepy street extends toward the ocean and is scattered with small shops and subtle charm. Most storefronts keep with the gentle status quo and don’t make noise beyond the occasional door swing and patron chatter. However, the seafoam green brick-and-mortar of Nautilus Surf Shop takes a different approach. During the day, power planers buzz along in the workshop, loud enough to be heard by passersby on the street. During the night, a musician might be performing on the small corner stage, or a group of friends could be discussing local art. It’s a surf shop, but surfing isn’t the only priority. Owners and brothers Chandler and Cory Richmond see Nautilus as an outlet for the underground scene in the area—deeming it a community collective. Chandler, 23, is the main business owner; he works on both production and daily business needs. Cory, 32, splits his time working on production in the shop and running his own organic farm. “We’re more of a traditional style surf shop. We do in-house production—build boards in back and sell them up front,” Chandler said. “But we’re also trying to build a community. There’s a lot of talented people in this area and not a lot of outlets for them to be creative and share their art with everyone.” Surfing and surfboard making is a tradition in the Richmond family. Cory and Chandler’s father started surfboard shaping in the ’70s and has been at it ever since. This proved to be a defining part of the brothers’ childhood; their father taught them how to ride a wave and how to shape their own boards to do so. While most of their business as of now is ding repairs for boards (Chandler calls it their “bread and butter”), designing and producing custom boards is the soul of Nautilus. The brothers insist any design is fair game and they often experiment with new styles and materials. However, classic styles of the ’70s, ’60s, and occasionally even earlier, are what they prefer to emulate. “The surfing industry is always evolving,” Chandler said. “Right now I

see the retrograde of it—how surfing is falling back toward more traditional styles. People are getting into classic shapes, and art and design is becoming a lot looser.” The shop, which opened in May 2017, is about a year old and has gained notice through word of mouth in the local surfing and art communities. So far, small art exhibits and music events have been held in the front of the shop. The back of the shop, which serves as the studio, could potentially be the next big draw. Cory and Chandler often encourage people to come observe their board shaping and fiber glassing in the studio. This eventually led to the brothers teaching some friends how to shape their own boards. After receiving positive response, they are considering holding community workshops in the future. Chandler also hopes Nautilus will begin to partner with more businesses to bring in additional local products for the front of shop. He is very particular about the companies he works with, looking for businesses “of good character and authenticity,” something he hopes Nautilus is now and will always be. “It’s really important for me to build a business that is focused around being authentic—being real and genuine. This is a real surf shop, and these are real people,” Chandler said. “A lot of marketing and media is so superficial. I’m not trying to exploit our scene or make it seem like something more than it is.” Nautilus is located at 696 Morro Bay Blvd. Visit nautilussurf.com for more information.

Commentary

BY CAROL SWAIN

Credibility challenged Arguments about Morro Bay’s water recycling facility should use up-to-date documents, not old ones

am responding to commentary published in New Times by Cynthia Hawley (“No public benefits,” Aug. 9). Ms. Hawley’s diatribe against the city of Morro Bay is based on a few facts that she used to spin into a story about how the city leaders are plotting a nefarious baitand-switch in buying 30 acres of land when the proposed water recycling facility (WRF) needs only 5.7 acres. She uses that fact in her allegation that the city is conspiring to get a large development there. She alleges that the high cost of building a new wastewater treatment facility at the Tri W site (otherwise known as the South Bay Boulevard site), “is just collateral damage to the evident purpose of removing the barriers to development of private property that has been undevelopable for years.” Ms. Hawley may be honing her legal argument for a lawsuit she’s dreaming up for when the count is in and the rate hike is approved. The gist of her argument is that the city’s ulterior motive at the South Bay Boulevard site “is for the purpose of subsidizing private interest.” She used the easy-to-read five-page memorandum of understanding from Oct. 25, 2016, available on the city’s website as her source of evidence. I believe this line of “reasoning” may have originated on a social media website in mid-July in a post by a sewer protester who is an associate of Ms. Hawley. It said, and I quote, “The new WRF purchase agreement (sic) for the property at South

HODIN

Bay will provide water for all of the land east of Highway One from the retirement home all the way to the existing houses on Hillcrest … .” It goes on to say that it will pave the way for the development of 200 homes and will give the owner access to water for such a development. In fact, this is not news, nor is it accurate, unless you call 2-year-old information from October 2016 new. The referenced document specifies water for agricultural use, with no mention of housing. That is a whole different issue. View the actual memorandum of understanding on the city’s website: morrobaywrf.com/site/ wp-content/uploads/MOU-Tri-W-FullyExecuted-201610251534.pdf This is complete and total demagoguery. Ms. Hawley’s story is, simply put, fear mongering and scare tactics. This narrative has played very well to the naysayers on social media. I object to this leap of logic where imagination run wild has been shaped into a dystopian story about how Morro Bay will be sacrificed to out of control development, based on this simple memorandum of understanding (not a purchase agreement), and I also object to New Times publishing this garbage with no answering opinions. Has an updated memorandum of understanding been written and signed? Unless it was generated and approved by council and staff recently, the naysayers

are digging up old stuff and putting their desperate and deceptive spin on it. Having grown up on a ranch, I will allow that Ms. Hawley may not be aware that grazing land near the plant would be rendered useless for grazing cattle by the activity of the plant, and that the owner recognized this. I do believe, however, that Ms. Hawley is very well aware that the city cannot simply waltz in and change their stated intent of buying the property. The city’s intent is stated clearly on page 1 of the memorandum, Item C: The Tri W site “has been identified as one such property that is preferred for acquisition by city for use in constructing and operating the Water Reclamation Facility.” Ms. Hawley claims that the city has conducted “no analysis of the impacts that this growth might have on the community and its resources.” She goes on to state, “The council just made a deal with the property owner.” Here’s the clincher: “Unfortunately, in Morro Bay this behavior by the City Council no longer surprises us,” she said. What is most obvious here is what Ms. Hawley might consider inconvenient truths. The memorandum of understanding is written in black and white. This said memorandum of understanding states nothing, nor does it allow for any confusion, that the land in question is intended to be used for other than the water reclamation facility. And that, is the deception, most unfortunate. ∆ Carol Swain lives in Morro Bay. Respond to editor@newtimesslo.com.

Car fluids drain straight to the ocean

I’m wondering why, in this day and age, certain businesses are allowed to pollute, quite obviously, and get away with it? Specifically, auto parts stores, although no doubt, there are others as well. I’m thinking of one in my city of Grover Beach on Grand Avenue. Now, it’s not that the store itself is polluting (at least I hope not), but rather that customers are changing their oil, radiator fluid, etc., and just dumping the old stuff on the ground. Yippee! That would be bad enough, but the parking lot was designed with a 360-degree slope that centers on a drain, and I assume that the drain goes to the ocean. If that’s the case, some of the most toxic of wastes are being dumped daily into the ocean, the same as street drains do. Oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, and what have you. How is that legal? If it were being dumped in a river or lake or just directly in the ocean, it would be big news? Yet, this is only one such auto parts store. How much toxic waste is ending up in our coastal waters every single day? And not just here, but nationwide? I hope that someone will address this rather glaring issue. There has to be a better way (besides giving these dumping idiots lobotomies). George Armstrong Grover Beach

stalled Anholm Bikeway (“SLO Planning Commission opposes latest version of Anholm bikeway,” Aug. 16), a 2-yearold plan to redistribute traffic between downtown San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly. It seems likely that if the city of SLO had had an active traffic/street parking committee to provide input alongside its existing active transport/pedestrian committee, a lot of city planning and replanning time could have been avoided based on getting earlier, informed feedback from residents interested in all aspects of city multi-modal issues.

Democracy is slow and messy, but it’s OK

Regarding a recent article in the New Times (“Arroyo Grande council to disband traffic, parks, and historical resource commissions,” Aug. 16) that the city of Arroyo Grande will decommission three of its citizen advisory bodies as a cost-cutting measure. I understand that budgets are tight and resources are limited, but I don’t think that eliminating this method of public engagement is a good idea. One of the great reasons to live in a small community is that the average citizen can have her or his voice heard and receive direct feedback from elected officials and city staff. In these dark political times, we need to be watchful of small, incremental erosions of public access to our government’s actions and policies. I admit that eliminating a small-town

This Week’s Online Poll advisory body is not comparable to what is happening on the national level, but this is, I believe, how our voices begin to be stifled and our rights rescinded. By way of disclosure, I am a volunteer member of a citizens advisory committee for the city of San Luis Obispo, and I appreciate how my small town encourages engagement with its citizenry on topics large and small, and I am proud to be part of this process. Including the public in governmental decisions can be time-consuming, messy, and slow moving. No one ever said that democracy was going to be easy. Jane Worthy San Luis Obispo

Community representatives who make the county better I have just recently moved from Morro Bay to San Luis Obispo, and I am so happy to be able to support and vote for Mayor Heidi Harmon for re-election. I have never met another city leader who was so engaged with encouraging community participation, listening to all sides, and acting with integrity. Heidi is not someone who is beholden to big campaign donors, but rather is someone who is committed to representing her community and helping to take it into the future in a sustainable way. More than anything, I’m happy that she is someone who inspires and encourages participatory democracy.

Women’s Equality Day is this month

Aug. 26 is designated as National Women’s Equality Day to honor the women who fought tirelessly for the commissioning of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. The day also stands as a strong reminder that we need to continue to advocate for the equality of all women. Prior to the signing of the amendment, women were treated as second-class citizens. They were not granted the right to hold property, serve on juries, or hold elected office. While women have advanced and succeeded in many areas, such as medicine, the law, and technology, the struggle continues. Today, women in California are still fighting to close wage gaps within the workforce, to make their own choices about their bodies, and for acknowledgment and action against sexual misconduct and harassment.

and the Women’s March have brought many of these issues to the forefront of our attention, and it is our responsibility to ensure that these problems continue to be addressed and in the public conversation. The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality. We need to stand together for equal rights for everyone, and Aug. 26 is a day that we can take a moment to remember the achievements of those who fought so hard before us for women’s rights. The future success of our communities, our state, and our nation depend on the achievements of women and girls. When given the same opportunities as men, women can do amazing things.

The high-speed rail is still worth the money

We received a mailer trashing the proposed high-speed rail system for California. Funded by the Republican Caucus (lookup ASMRC on the internet), the piece bore Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham’s (R-San Luis Obispo) name. The same piece was probably sent out under the name of every Republican candidate for the Assembly in California (this is speculation). The argument set forth in the piece bears scrutiny. It boils down to this: Ten years have passed since voters chose to develop a high speed rail system, but

Letters since the projected cost has increased and the system is still not in place the whole thing should be junked. Thank heavens these people weren’t evaluating the American space program back in the ’60s. Indeed, much the same could be said of California’s freeway system. It’s not working. It’s been a lot longer than 10 years. And the cost? Spectacular. Most interesting and subtle was the statement that we were “promised an efficient, new mode of transportation” as if someone had misled us. No, actually, we just voted for such a system. There’s no them and us. Just us. It’s too bad, Assemblymember Cunningham, that it’s going to be expensive. It’s too bad that it’s taking a lot of time. But it will be an efficient and new mode of transportation and simply shutting it down as you propose in order to build more freeways seems like a foolish waste and an ostrich-like approach to realities that aren’t going away. Steve Belasco San Luis Obispo

Central Coast taxpayers deserve better

The high speed rail project is a failed project that has nearly doubled in cost, and could balloon to nearly $100 billion. Central Coast taxpayers deserve better than a train that will never benefit our district. Rather than throw good money after bad, we should invest in our roads, schools, and water infrastructure. Voters should be given the opportunity to vote again with the accurate cost figures and knowledge that California taxpayers will be footing the entire bill.

BY AMY HEWES

My white life I live in a segregated society. I grew up in a white family in the white suburbs of the Bay Area. I was educated by white teachers in white elementary and high schools. My college was largely white; my employers have all been white; my friends are white. Whiteness has been so pervasive in my life that I never identified it as a culture. If anything, I thought of myself as representative of the American culture, which afforded me great opportunity to attend the college of my choice, to succeed in a chosen profession, to travel freely, to live in beautiful San Luis Obispo. I’ve never considered myself racist. White racists were those ugly individuals who threw rocks and slurs at blacks. Who flew Confederate flags. Who advocated white supremacy in order to elevate their own sad standing in society and bolster their fragile self-esteem. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by a racist in 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee; Trayvon Martin was assassinated by a racist in 2012 in Sanford, Florida. Racists marched in Charlottesville a year ago, and a handful marched again on Aug. 12 at the Unite the Right 2 rally in Washington, D.C. While acts of racism and racial terrorism have punctuated front page news throughout my life, they’ve seemed distant.

in my life may not have accrued because I’m so very exceptional, but because as a white person, I’ve benefited inequitably simply by being white. Hmmm, you’re thinking. Amy’s wading into loaded territory! Yes, I am. And I invite you along not to blame or shame, but because I believe we all should be accountable as individuals in the hard work of reconciliation. Besides, I know you can take it. Where to begin? I started by reading “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” by Dr. Peggy McIntosh. Those of you who are farther along than I in recognizing the effects of racial identity will undoubtedly know this excellent article. In it, McIntosh asks us to consider the “unearned assets” of whiteness. For instance, off the top of my head, I know that because I’m white I can hail a cab New York and be assured one will stop. I’m pretty sure that I won’t get pulled over for an innocuous or imaginary traffic infraction. I won’t be regarded as suspicious if I’m strolling in a largely white neighborhood. I can be reasonably sure that I can obtain a loan to buy a house or send my kids to college. McIntosh’s list helps make clear that while my life is not lived as an act of aggression against non-whites, I do live in the confines of unconscious privilege, and that privilege comes at an enormous

… it’s time to realize that the successes in my life may not have accrued because I’m so very exceptional, but because as a white person, I’ve benefited inequitably simply by being white.

But they’re not. If I honestly take stock of the effect of racism in my life, I see its saturated, toxic presence. I see racial insults posted on black student rooms in one of my college’s dormitories in 1972, and I see that police were called to that same college this July because a black student seemed “out of place” in a common room. My college. Last spring, racists smeared graffiti on the doors and offices of students and professors at Cal Poly after a white student appeared in blackface. My Cal Poly, where I worked for 20 years. And several weeks ago at dinner, a friend blithely joked in condescending dialect, “Yessa, massa!” in response to his wife’s gentle chiding. All this in my country, which I love so deeply. Perhaps it’s the accumulation of evidence that reveals our president as a racist; or the unending cycle of black deaths, incarceration, and injustices; or the weight of racial history in my own life that impel me to take stock. But I’ve come to the juncture where I’ve got to ask how I’ve benefitted unfairly from our social system. We all know that there are white people who suffer bias—Jews, the poor, gays, the disabled, many others—but we also know that they too have societal advantages over ordinary people of color, especially black and brown-skinned people. That’s why it’s time to realize that the successes

psychic, social, and economic cost to people of color: • When learning about our national heritage or about “civilization,” I am shown that people of my color made it what it is. • I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that recognize the existence of their race. • I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race. • If a law officer asks me to stop in the street, I don’t fear for my life. • I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help, my race will not work against me. • I can buy a “flesh” colored bandage and know it will match my skin. Whether seemingly harmless or blatantly damaging to people of color, the items on this list of white advantage overlay a narrative that infects all our society. A narrative that too often presumes the superiority of whiteness. Talking about race can be uncomfortable and humbling. But as we work toward healing the divide, white folks like me might best take stock as a first step. ∆ Amy Hewes is actively involved in grassroots political action.

The Shredder

Feel that stability

hat happens when people don’t care enough about local politics to campaign for office? Nothing. In fact, a city government can save $10,000 if no one files to run against incumbents whose seats are up for grabs, according to a staff report presented at the Aug. 21 Pismo Beach City Council meeting. At that meeting, council members voted to cancel citywide elections for this November! You heard right, cancel. It’s historic, but everything has to have a first, right? Way to save some money, Pismo! Maybe the city of Arroyo Grande should look into that—I mean, that City Council did tell staff to look at every way it could save money. Every $10,000 counts, right? Except, the residents of that particular Five Cities city are pissed off about the dysfunctional leadership of its City Council and people are actually running to unseat the status quo—so sorry, but no savings for AG in that arena, not even $1,000. In Pismo, though, City Council members are getting the message that they are functionally perfect, man. And at the Aug. 21 meeting, Mayor Ed Waage said as much: “I think it’s a tribute to how we are operating together,” he said at the meeting. “I think they see we are doing great things for the city.” Umm, yeah, ya’ll politicians in Pismo haven’t made a misstep once or wasted any taxpayer money—especially not when you

spent months redrawing a plan on where exactly to stick the johns near the $8.8 million pier because your town’s residents had a potty panic attack! I guess everyone’s satisfied that all of the tourists will finally be shitting in exactly the right spot. Or when you decided to get your downtown corridor in line with your bougie aspirations, implementing a moratorium on very un-bougie businesses like tattoo parlors, smoke shops, and massage parlors. Those places have basically been your bread and butter for years! What’s next? Taffy places and tacky T-shirt shops?! Where are all the Bakos supposed to go? I guess people who think Pismo doesn’t need to be an upscale paradise of too-expensive-to-eat-at restaurants and too-expensive-for-locals-to-shop-at boutiques don’t vote or run for office. And apparently, they don’t really engage in San Luis Obispo or Paso Robles politics either. Although, personally, I think Central Coast cities—Pismo and Arroyo Grande included—have already led the parade too far down the bougie highway to turn the Mercedes Benz around for an affordable housing stop. Might as well throw affordable food and clothing out the window, too. Santa Barbara already did it. We’re just following in their footsteps. I sort of agree with Pismo Beach City Councilmember Sheila Blake on this one: “It’s either incredible apathy or an

endorsement of our behavior.” But I’ll raise her one. It’s definitely apathy. At least in Paso there are people running for office! Even if one of them is part of a Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate group. The worst part? It’s a freakin’ Santa Barbarabased organization. WTF SLO? We have so many white people in this county and we can’t even lead the way on hate groups! Michael Rivera, who’s running for Paso City Council, is listed as the secretary of Californians for Population Stabilization, a group that says its working to advance policies and programs designed to stabilize the population of California. Wait, our population’s unstable? I thought that it was just the earthquakes. Oh, it’s code for Keep Mexicans Out. I get it. That’s why Rivera’s debut in the Paso political spotlight started in April, when the whole town got into it over whether the city should sign on to a lawsuit filed against the state for passing Senate Bill 54, which made California a sanctuary state. “We’re going to find out very soon where each of you stands on this,” Rivera forewarned City Council members on April 17. “This is the most important issue.” Huh? I thought it was affordable housing, downtown parking, and/or the cannabis ordinance. Maybe I’ve been watching the wrong City Council meetings.

And even though the Paso Police Department stated otherwise at that meeting and after it, Rivera knows better! He was adamant that SB 54 was “hamstringing our police force and putting our citizens at risk.” According to the hate group’s website, Rivera was key in getting Paso to adopt E-Verify to protect American workers! Yeah, all those undocumented immigrants are just clamoring to work for city government. “A fifth-generation American, Mr. Rivera has a longtime commitment to addressing the impacts of legal and illegal immigration,” a bio on the website says. Only fifth-generation, huh? I know some people whose ancestors didn’t immigrate here. Their roots go back 10,000 or more years. So, maybe you should go back to your homeland. It’s too crowded for you here. Your hot fifth-generation breath is polluting their clean indigenous air. And apparently, your hate group colleagues are hate-mailing the San Luis Obispo Tribune reporter who broke the story earlier this week. “It’s not ‘hate’ to want to enforce current immigration laws,” one of them spewed via email. “I think that journalists are a hate group.” So what’s illegal about legal immigration, guys? Asking for a friend. Sounds a little bit like population destabilization to me. Journalists don’t create the labels, guys. They merely report on the labels that get created. ∆ The shredder is feeling super stable for once. Send comments to shredder@ newtimesslo.com.

Fire in the belly

Amalia Fleming is young, gifted, and ready to change the world

or kids all over the country, the Parkland School shootings became the last straw. Earlier this year, on March 14, students across the nation walked out of class and observed 17 minutes of reverence for those killed. They took to the mic and spoke, sang, and reminded each other that they have the power to change things if they band together and collectively raise their voices. One of the student protesters was Morro Bay High School student Amalia Fleming, now 16, who sang her original song, “Renegades” to her classmates and members of the press covering the protest. “No one’s ever had to save the world before/ They’re giving something we can’t ignore, something we can’t ignore/ No one’s ever known what it’s like to be running out of time/ It’s like being at the scene of a crime, rushing to cover up lies/ I have big dreams for the world, hope we become something more.” The real kicker was her chorus, both a condemnation of adult apathy as well as a call to arms to speak truth to power. “To hell with their games / We were born to be renegades / We spit our words to ignite the rage / And raise our voices to fan the flames,” Amalia sang in her lilting, elastic, expressive voice. News coverage of the Morro Bay protest and Amalia’s song caught the ear of Bowling Green State University ethnomusicologist Katherine Meizel, who asked that it be included on an upcoming nationally released compilation album of student protest songs called Raise Your Voice, with proceeds benefiting the nonprofit organization Everytown, which aims to end gun violence. To promote the compilation, Amalia will perform “Renegades” at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden

Gate Park on Sunday, Oct. 7, at 3 p.m. in front of about 65,000 people, her biggest audience by far. It takes guts to be a songwriter and musician, to get up in front of people and bare your soul. Does she ever get nervous or doubt herself? “I used to get nervous in the beginning about getting up in front of crowds, but now I’ve become so accustomed to playing in front of big or small audiences, it just feels natural,” Amalia said in an email interview. “Sharing my music is what I love to do. If it were to make me anxious or if I doubted myself, I wouldn’t keep putting myself out there.” She’s certainly had some practice. She wrote her first song at age 9 and sang it a cappella at the Live Oak Music Festival’s kid talent show. The following year she returned with a new guitar and more original songs, and she’s been writing almost daily ever since. She recently recorded her first demo, Vibrations, which you can hear on her

website (amaliafleming.com). Last year, she won first place in the New Times Music Awards Youth Category for her song “The Simplicity of Things.” A lot of her songs are about global and selfawareness. Where does her inspiration come from? “My songs are usually inspired from a word I see or a feeling,” she wrote. “Most of the time my experiences are what inspire me to write a song. However, once I have an idea that I begin to build off of it’s almost my subconscious that is downloading the lines in my songs. The rhyming lyrics and words I’ve heard previously I may not even know the meaning of but come to me and tend to fit just right with what I’m trying to say.” She says one of her favorite musicians is Sabrina Carpenter, “because her style of music is similar to mine in that it has an alternative pop feel but also differs. Her lyrics also relate to my experiences in life and have similar themes to my songs.” She also likes James Blunt “because his

lyrics are metaphorical and melodies are uplifting and upbeat,” but she says Ellie Goulding, U2, and Duran Duran also inspire her. “The songs I choose to cover usually have a message that I relate to or even just a melody that catches my ear,” she said. “When I hear a song that I like, I get my guitar and I play it to see if it works well with my voice. Sometimes the cover songs I play live I’ve selected to appeal to a specific audience.” Just 16 years old and she’s already an award winner whose music will reach a national audience thanks to the forthcoming compilation. Does this success surprise her? What are her dreams for her music career? “I’m amazed by all the things that are happening right now,” she said. “I was so excited to find out that I made national news and I’m going to be playing in front of thousands of people. I would definitely say that I’m surprised by all of

my upcoming events, but it’s hard for me to wrap my head around it. I just keep saying yes to gigs and putting myself out there. I hope that I can make a career out of playing my music. I know how unlikely and difficult it is to make a living from being a live performer and musician but it’s what I love to do and I can’t see myself in any other profession. I plan to apply to several universities that have majors in songwriting and music. As long as I continue writing and pursuing what I want and what feels right, I’ll see where this takes me.” You can see Amalia Fleming when she plays SLO Brew Rock on Sunday, Aug. 25 (1 to 5 p.m.; all ages; free).

Just a few years ago, Norton and Lowe got swept up into crafting hand-painted signs. Since then, the SLO-based boyfriend-girlfriend duo quit their day jobs, refurbished two vans into living spaces, took to the road for seven months of the year, and formed their sign painting company, Canned Pineapple Co. “Gold leaf had kind of left downtown, so I had to convince people,” Norton said. “Luckily they trusted me. I felt like a rock star when my first sign went up.” After college, Norton actually started working in a sign shop. He hated that particular job but fell in love with signs, and fell harder for the work of a local sign maker, Oceano-based Sean Beauchamp, who’s known for downtown signs like Giuseppe’s Cucina Rustica’s and the refurbished hotel sign on Higuera between Chorro and Morro streets. “Basically any kind of cool, fabricated sign downtown, he’s made,” Norton said. “I was too nervous to meet him.

hat’s old is new again. After more than a decade of business and a brief closure, the art and coffeehouse formerly known as Steynberg Gallery reopened in January as The 4 Cats Café and Gallery—with new owners. The previous owners, Peter and Estelle Steynberg, recently retired and put the space up for sale. “The past 13 years, it’s been a café-gallery, and it’s been lot Here kitty, kitty for Peter,” longtime manager Stop by during Art After Dark on Sept. 7 from Kalae Neves said. “The new 6 to 9 p.m. for the opening reception of the Tracy owners realized it was a hub Taylor and Friends (Persons of Interest) show at for people in the community, The 4 Cats Café and Gallery.

COMEBACK KID After Steynberg Gallery closed in December, new owners Art and Lana Tabuenca reopened the space as The 4 Cats Gallery in January.

A lot of people had a special relationship with Peter.” To kick off the fall, a typically busy time for the café with the influx of students and staff from both Cal Poly and SLO High School, local artist Tracy Taylor will team up with seven of her artist friends, including locals like Jeff Claassen and Neal Breton, to put on the Tracy Taylor and Friends (Persons of Interest) show, with an opening reception on Sept. 7. Taylor will display her You Can’t Escape Beauty series, which includes quirky and whimsical watercolor pieces inspired by the views seen from standing atop various fire escapes. “It’s going to be so eclectic and fun and diverse,” Taylor said of the show. “I think of fire escapes as beautiful. You can just hang out and have some privacy.” Neves said she hopes that customers both old and new can give 4 Cats a chance to be their go-to neighborhood coffee shop. “It still has the same homey feel,” Neves said. “It’s the same girls behind the counter. And the new owners have a lot to offer the community.” Δ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley likes her chai dirty at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

REVIEW SCORING FULL PRICE......It’s worth the full price of an evening showing MATINEE .......... Save a few bucks, catch an afternoon showing RENT IT .......... It’s worth a rental STREAM IT ..... Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time about Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), a black rookie police office in Colorado who, with the help of a white undercover counterpart (Adam Driver), becomes a member of the local Ku Klux Klan chapter. What starts like a comedic spoof of a ’70s Blaxploitation flick ends with a realworld visceral gut punch in this affecting new film by Spike Lee. It’s his most lucid and potent comment on U.S. race relations since Do the Right Thing and doesn’t let its (most likely and largely) white liberal audience off the hook. If the film’s message is anything, it’s that culturally we’ve progressed very little since the film’s 1970s milieu. Ron Stallworth is a former army brat,

college educated, and a believer in the system. He’s always dreamed of becoming a policeman, and when he sees the Cold Springs, CO police department advertising for new officers, specifically minority officers, he applies. Stallworth’s counterparts are local black college students, angered by their secondclass citizen status and mistreatment by the police. When black activist Kwame Ture, formerly known as the Black Panther Stokely Carmichael, comes to speak, Stallworth is sent undercover to monitor the local black power movement. There he meets Patrice (Laura Harrier), president of the Black Student Union. What follows is Stallworth’s awakening, which leads him to attempt to infiltrate the KKK, first by

phone, speaking to local chapter president Walter Breachway (Ryan Eggold). To “play” Stallworth’s racist persona, he enlists white officer Flip Zimmerman, who’s ethnically Jewish, though he doesn’t think of himself as a Jew. Undercover in the KKK, Flip feels the full force of the Klan’s anti-Semitism, leading to his own kind of awakening. The Klansmen—Felix (Jasper Pääkkönen), Ivanhoe (Paul Walter Hauser), and Felix’ wife Connie (Ashlie Atkinson)— are portrayed as uneducated, paranoid hatemongers. Later Stallworth contacts national KKK Grand Wizard David Duke (an excellent Topher Grace), who’s portrayed MOVIES continued page 40

as huckster in a cheap three-piece suit. To spice things up and remind us that the lines between good and evil are never clearly drawn, Stallworth also has to deal with racist officers in his midst, in particular Master Patrolman Andy Landers (Frederick Weller). An engaging, well crafted, nuanced film, BlackKklansman offers lots of food for thought as it continually reminds us of similarities between the ’70s and today. It’s bitter medicine to swallow, but swallow it we must. It would be easy to accuse this film of not knowing what it wants to be. There’s the thriller tension of undercover work, the comic biting humor of a spoof, the real political commentary of current politics—but instead of being disjointed, I’d describe the film as a deftly combined mash-up. It’s all those things, and it does all of them with spot-on competence and lucidity. All those various genres and tones are the set-up for the finale. While you’re laughing at the comedy and feeling smug that the racists will get their just deserts, Lee is teeing you up for the mother of all wake-up calls, and I heard audience members stifling tears and gasps. If at the end you feel guilty for laughing along with the film, I’d say that’s exactly what Lee intended. Yes, Lee is preaching to the choir, but he’s also telling the choir we need to do more than just feel the feels and talk the talk—racism remains a real, insidious, thoroughly entrenched problem in America, as recent events in Charlottesville and Ferguson attest. It’s not enough to simply feel outraged; it’s time for political action. This is absolutely a film that captures our troubling zeitgeist. (135 min.) —Glen Starkey

Chu directs this rom-com based on Kevin Kwan’s best selling novel about native New Yorker and Chinese economics professor Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), who travels to Singapore to meet her boyfriend, Nick Young’s (Henry Golding), ridiculously wealthy family. Once there, Rachel realizes Nick’s the most eligible bachelor in Asia, and all the single women are out to undermine her. While it doesn’t stray far from the usual rom-com antics, the glitz and gaudy world of Singapore’s oldest and richest families adds just the right amount of zip and pop to this fun and fancy flick. Rachel is a cute and cunning New Yorker whose hunky boyfriend has managed to hide his family’s massive wealth. When he talks her into a trip to Singapore for his best friend’s wedding, Rachel gets clued in to the depth of his pockets by their swanky suite on the plane. That is only the beginning, and when the scope of the Young empire comes into focus, Rachel soon feels like a fish out of water. While she has friends she can trust such as her quirky college roommate Peik Lin Goh (Awkwafina) and Nick’s cousin, Astrid (Gemma Chan), it soon becomes clear she has more enemies than she does allies, including the matriarch of the family, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh). Not all of her haters are as up-front as Nick’s mother, and while she has been included on many of the bride’s pre-wedding adventures, it doesn’t take long for the claws to come out from jealous single women who feel much more entitled to Nick’s tender love and affection. Crazy Rich Asians is a feast for the eyes. From over-the-top outfits and incredibly elaborate homes and parties, the audience is swept up in the ride as the world of Singapore and its richest families unfolds. These people are in each other’s business in every single way, and Eleanor is bound and determined to keep Nick away from Rachel and get him back home for good. Awkwafina is especially fun as Peik Lin Goh, her out-of-the-box zaniness only compounded by her weird larger-thanlife family. With side stories and drama galore, this film manages to stay fun from beginning to end. While this type of film can be unoriginal at times, Crazy Rich Asians delivers on all fronts and manages to avoid the rom-com rut a lot of films

ugh Laurie (A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Sense and Sensibility) stars as the titular character Gregory House in the medical mystery drama/comedy House, which follows the talented yet drug-addicted doctor through mysteries that he solves with the help of a team of expert doctors by the end of each episode. As the gifted yet tortured genius, House employs controversial methods that put him at odds with his hospital’s dean of medicine, Lisa Cuddy, played by Lisa Edelstein (Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, The Good Wife), though they harbor romantic feelings toward each other. An acerbic and anti-social cynic, House has only one true friend, the hospital’s oncologist, James Wilson, played by a fantastic Robert Sean Leonard (Swing Kids, Dead Poets Society). The show is actually based on Sherlock Holmes (House, Holmes; Wilson, Watson; get it?), where House uses deductive reasoning to solve cases, bouncing ideas off his team and best friend. In the initial seasons of the show, House’s team consists of doctors Allison Cameron, played by Jennifer Morrison (How I Met Your Mother), an immunologist who balances her encyclopedic knowledge with an empathetic approach to

daughter struggling to find their place in the world, while the public tries to change them and wall them in. Thomasin McKenzie (The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies) plays Tom, a teenage girl living in the woods with her father, Will, played by Ben Foster (Hell or High Water, Alpha Dog). They’re comfortable where they are, staying hidden

and seeking a cure for their patient. The way House approaches patients is strange as well. He hardly ever wants to meet them at first, and wants to reduce them to just symptoms and medical histories. It’s only when his approach gets out of hand that House comes in to save the day, winning them over despite his insults and ego. House is also a show about addiction. The character is disabled from a leg injury— walking with the cane and limp—and relies on the pain as an excuse for his Vicodin addiction. He pops pills in front of patients, his doctors, everybody, which leads to issues with the law and even his own sanity. Wilson is the constant conscience for House, picking apart his motivations and excuses, trying to get him help and encouraging him to work on his antisocial and megalomaniacal tendencies. The show was highly rated and managed to stay interesting across its eight seasons despite the sometimes-formulaic feel of its episodes. Even in the pilot episode, the characters are fully formed and complex, but we get to see them develop, go through serious stuff, everything from breaching ethics, to addiction, to suicide. The group’s collected talent is a study in ensemble acting, truly. And for all its drama, the show is also funny. House’s pranks and comments will get you laughing even on a repeat viewing. The show’s creator David Shore (Battle Creek, The Good Doctor) knew what he was doing when he cast Laurie as the lead, leaning on the British actor’s multiple talents, from his perfect American accent to his musicianship, to help portray the polymathic practitioner. I also commend any show that has the class to end itself appropriately, which House definitely does, leaving fans with bittersweet joy and closure at its final episode. Δ —Joe Payne

from the public and only going into town to get medicine from a veterans’ medical center to sell to other people in a camp nearby. They live comfortably and enjoy living in the woods rather than in a home. One day a hiker spots Tom and calls the police, resulting in both Tom and Will being brought in and evaluated before eventually finding a place for both of them to live on a farm. Will struggles with working there due to the helicopters triggering his posttraumatic stress disorder, and when he decides to leave, Tom begins to question why they must continue to live off the grid. The movie is moving in its depiction of the somewhat undocumented topics of veteran and familial homelessness, and PTSD causing alienation. The acting is wonderful and amazingly emotional, down to Tom’s chin quivering when she begins to cry, while Will’s silence and exhaustion speak to his alienation from others—and his PTSD—very well. However, the movie is repetitive. Will is stuck in a rut and unwilling to change, even for Tom. Each time the two move or camp somewhere else, it doesn’t work out and something goes wrong. The behaviors and character traits that you think are going to change, or seem to be changing, don’t develop in a positive way and instead deteriorate, and while this is accurate to the struggles shown in the film, it doesn’t make for a happy ending or a feel-good movie. Leave No Trace is stressful and will have you on the edge of your seat, as one bad thing after another befalls the pair. Each comforting or encouraging scene is followed up by a sad or anxious one. And Tom must adapt and become more of an adult than she should have to at such a young age. The movie is sad but beautiful and accurate; it’s worth seeing in order to explore the truth about homelessness and PTSD, and it’s a very bittersweet depiction of a family struggle. —Delany Burk

THE MEG

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Jon Turteltaub (Phenomenon, Instinct, National Treasure) directs Jason Statham as former Naval Captain Jonas Taylor, whose career and marriage were destroyed after he abandoned part of his crew during a failed exploration of the Mariana Trench in what he claimed was an attack by a 70-foot shark. Five years later, when a sub crew is stranded in what may be an attack by the supposedly long-extinct 70-foot Carcharodon Megalodon, Taylor is recruited to attempt a rescue. Man, did I want this to be good. Action hero Jason Statham (The Transporter, The Italian Job, Crank) is a badass, Rainn Wilson (The Office, Juno, The Rocker) is usually hilarious, and who doesn’t love a humongous shark? Sadly, The Meg is a steaming pile of chum. Wilson plays Jack Morris, the moneyman behind Mana One, a research center trying to prove that under a freezing cloud of hydrogen sulfide at the bottom of the Mariana Trench lies an even deeper unexplored world. Soon his submersible crew—Taylor’s ex-wife Lori (Jessica McNamee), Toshi (Masi Oka), and The Wall (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson)—are stranded six-miles below, so after encouragement by head researcher Dr. Minway Zhang (Winston Chao) but against the advice of team physician Dr. Heller (Robert Taylor), Morris travels to Thailand to recruit Jonas Taylor, who now spends his days drunk on beer while simultaneously retaining his amazing six-pack abs. Taylor agrees to attempt the rescue after he learns his ex-wife Lori is on board, but he almost immediately falls for Zhang’s daughter Suyin (Bingbing Li). Long story short, his rescue opens a hole in the hydrogen sulfide cloud, and up swims a shark so big it can bite a whale in half. What’s not to like, right? Well, first of all, the film’s minor attempts at humor fall flat. If this film had approached its story with the sort of campy hilarity of, say, Piranha 3D (2010), it might have been salvaged. Instead, it plays it straight, and another movie—2010’s Deep Blue Sea with Thomas Jane—already told a similar story better. Then there’s the CGI shark, which looks really sinister but seems to be of inconsistent size, probably because different teams of CGI programmers were working on different scenes. I’ll take the old rubber shark from Jaws (1975) any day over this series of ones and zeros. The Meg has none of the menace and psychological terror of a film like Open Water (2003) or The Shallows (2016), and none of the fun of

MILE 22 What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, The Kingdom, Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon, Patriots Day) helms this action thriller about James Silva (Mark Wahlberg), an elite CIA operative tasked with extracting Li Noor (Indonesian action star Iko Uwais), an asset with vital information, through 22 miles of hostile territory. Berg and Wahlberg have teamed successfully before. Lone Survivor was terrific, Patriots Day was emotionally potent, and Deepwater Horizon was solid entertainment. Hence, despite what sounded like a hackneyed plot, I had hope that this fourth collaboration would yield some better-than-average action. I was wrong. Mile 22 takes a tired, eternally rehashed storyline and tries to spruce itself up with a lead character whose backstory and apparent ADD supposedly makes him interesting. Instead, Silva is just an unlikeable asshole. The film’s opening set piece finds Silva and his mixed-race and mixed-gender (and largely forgettable) team infiltrating an FSB (think modern KGB) safe house filled with Russian spies running a secret operation in the U.S. After initial success, the operation goes sideways and a lot of people—mostly Russian spies—get killed. Fast forward to Silva and his team operating out of an embassy in an unnamed Southeast Asian country. They’re tasked with finding a batch of toxic material that can be weaponized. Their first operation to retrieve the material is unsuccessful.

Local policeman and apparent whistleblower Li Noor (Uwais) shows up at the embassy with a hard drive that has the material’s location, but he demands to be put on a plane to the U.S. before he’s willing to release the hard drive’s code, and to add to the pressure, the hard drive is set to erase itself if not opened. What follows is Silva’s team trying to confirm Noor’s identity while the embassy negotiates with local authorities, who demand Noor’s return. Iko Uwais is a terrific martial artist (see The Raid: Redemption and The Raid 2), and his prowess is on display here, in particular when two “healthcare” workers in the embassy try to assassinate him while he’s handcuffed. Much of the other action takes place outside the embassy as Silva and his team try to get Noor to the plane, while aided by Bishop (John Malkovich), who remotely guides Silva and his team via high-tech surveillance systems. There are a few mildly successful attempts to add some emotional potency to the proceedings. Longtime Silva team members such as Sam Snow (Ronda Rousey) are imperiled in surprising ways. Silva’s right-hand (wo)man Alice Kerr (Lauren Cohan) has a side story about her daughter and estranged husband (played by director Peter Berg). There are also some twists and turns, crosses and double-crosses. Mostly, however, this this is loud, obnoxious mayhem. Mile 22 also feels false. Berg and Wahlberg’s other films were based on real events, and while they may have been accentuated and dramatized beyond reality, there was a level of plausibility that isn’t apparent here. Yes, this film is better than most straight-to-video fare, but only because it has better actors, director, and budget. Story-wise, Mile 22 is a clunker. (95 min.) —Glen Starkey

Jack Reacher, Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation) helms this action-packed sixth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, starring Tom Cruise as super spy Ethan Hunt. The new film ties together narratives and characters from earlier films, including IMF (Impossible Mission Force) team members Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), Hunt’s Rogue Nation love interest and fellow spy Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), and Hunt’s ex-wife Julia Meade (Michelle Monaghan) from Mission: Impossible III. In addition to a series of amazing action sequences the film manages to conjure up emotional elements as well, since Hunt must protect both Julia and Ilsa and prove to the powers-that-be, that saving both the one and the many is the real job of the IMF. It also culminates in the mother of all action finales. If you like this series, Fallout is a worthy successor. (147 min.) —Glen Starkey

The pair of women throws themselves headfirst into the adventure, which soon takes them to exotic European locales, where they encounter charismaticbut-suspicious British agent Sebastian Henshaw (Sam Heughan). With a female director and two female leads in a usually male-centric genre, I had high hopes that The Spy Who Dumped Me might offer a sly, satirical take on the macho spy movie. Instead, the film focused more on slapstick and vagina jokes than poking fun at a film type that’s usually absurdist, infantile, misogynistic fantasy. That’s not to say The Spy wasn’t fun. McKinnon—who does most of the comedic heavy lifting—and Kunis seem to be having a good time as two fish-out-

of-water average gals who relish diving headfirst into adventure. As a summer popcorn comedy it fills the bill, but the premise seems somewhat wasted on this lowbrow joke fest. (116 min.) —Glen Starkey

Wine and windmills Solvang is more than just kitschy charm

@getoutslo MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE Sure, Solvang has a lot of fun shops and activities for tourists, but its restaurants, theater, and art galleries make it a great spot for locals. PHOTO BY REBECCA ROSE

an outdoor venue that evokes the feeling of the Shakespearian theaters of yore. After grabbing a local craft beer at the concession stand, we took our seats and settled in for the show. I’d been to several musicals and plays before, mostly ones put on at indoor venues like the PCPA theater in Santa Maria, but an outdoor show had a much different vibe. The audience, usually more reserved in the hushed quiet of the theater, seemed loose and casual out in the fresh air. Maybe it was due to the fact that we could bring our beer, wine, and other refreshments to our seats. There was more talking, laughter, and once the show started, more singing than I’d seen in the indoor venues. While I’m more of an AC/DC guy than an ABBA superfan, it was clear that everyone was having a good time. It felt more like being at a football or baseball game than a night at the theater, and I mean that in the best way possible. The theater isn’t the only thing in Solvang that keeps me coming back. The place is home to two incredible art museums, the Wildling and the Elverhoj, as well as the Book Loft, a tiny little shop crowded with books that I could spend hours at a time in. While there are plenty of places where you can get traditional Danish fare, Solvang is also home to one of my absolute favorite restaurants, First and Oak, a super upscale joint with amazing food from a chef who came up under the tutelage of Gordon Ramsay. I really didn’t know about any of these places when I first moved to Central Coast and visited Solvang. But discovering that there was more to the town than what I initially experienced was definitely a pleasant surprise. When you live close enough, it’s easy to dismiss Solvang as a kitschy place that only caters to tourists. But the truth is that the town has plenty to offer locals willing to look beyond the souvenir shops. Δ

t’s easy to tell when you’re close to Solvang. When you exit Highway 101 in Buellton, the silhouette of the Sideways Inn (named after the wine-centric 2004 movie that made the area famous) windmill let’s you know exactly what you’re in for once you head East on Highway 246 and into the quaint little town of Solvang. The tourist destination is known for its blocks of Dutch-inspired buildings, and on any weekend you will usually find Solvang clogged with visitors browsing the little shops of tchotchkes and hauling around big blue tubs of shortbread dough. On really busy days, the huge crowds swarming downtown’s fairy-tale architecture can make you feel like you’re at Disneyland. But even if you aren’t interested in eating aebelskivers or buying the perfect pair of tiny wooden shoes, Solvang still has something for everyone, even locals. On this particular occasion, my fiancée and I drove into town to catch a showing of one of her favorite musicals, Mamma Mia!, at the Solvang Festival Theater. It’s

Festivals PHOTOS COURTESY OF AVOMARG FEST

Three cheers for AvoMarg Fest! This celebration of Morro Bay guac and good times will make you do a high kick this Sept. 7 and 8

f you ever need a pick-me-up, call the Morro Bay High School cheerleaders. That’s what I did. Well, I called for an interview with MBHS cheer coach Michele Fellows. What I got (besides the interview) was a positive, cheery, boosted feeling. A feeling of assurance that I would, indeed, tackle all of my deadlines and then some. If that’s not a job well done for a cheerleader, I don’t know what is. In some ways, it doesn’t matter what they cheer; it’s the energy and enthusiasm they put out that really charms you. What these students chanted into the phone on this particular day had a lot more to do with the avocados than assignments: “Hey, hey Hayley! Thanks for your tip. Hey, hey Hayley! Enjoy your guac and chips!” Yes, you know what this cheer means. The Morro Bay AvoMarg Fest is coming up Saturday, Sept. 8, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.! These hardworking cheerleaders are practicing their routines and churning up batches of creamy guac just for you (yes, there’s a special cheer involved if you order yours “spicy,” but I’d hate to give it away). There are some fabulous things about living in a small town like Morro Bay. Students can brag that they attend the California school “closest to the Pacific ocean.” There’s that ridiculously scenic view of the rock. You can get fresh seafood whenever you want and wave to seals and otters on the regular. Then, there’s the AvoMarg Fest, which has been a staple of community pride for decades. While in years past the fest had been slightly co-opted by more tourists, these days the event is all about local spirit. Like a good margarita, it’s balanced. Expect a mix of music, contests, vendors, and small-town charm. Sure, folks drive in droves from the valley to attend, but you’ll also see Morro Bay High School colors (blue and white) worn with pride. You’ll see small business owners, fishermen, and local artists, many of whom will take the stage to bring live music to the salt-rimmed shindig. I guess what I’m trying to say is that guacamole is the great equalizer. This is an event for everyone, even your favorite groms, who can explore a special kids’ area (and keep an eye out for the Morro Bay pirate mascot, who recently got a spiffy new uniform). As Fellows is keen to tell anyone who will listen, this is the largest fundraiser effort for the Morro Bay High School cheerleaders. This is a very big deal for the students.

@flavorslo GOT THE GREEN The AvoMarg Festival, slated for Saturday, Sept. 8, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the Embarcadero, features live music, guacamole, margaritas, food and craft vendors, and several contests, including a chance to win a year’s supply of California avocados.

“We are so indebted to the Morro Bay Chamber and the locals who come out to support. This is a retirement community; the median age is 55. Getting the community rallied around the kids is a bit challenging at times,” Fellows said. “I’ve been a coach here for four years, and this is our 13th year with the festival. As a club on campus, we get zero fi nancial support from the school, and everything we do has to be paid for by cheer families or through fundraisers like this one. We are so thankful for this event and everyone who comes together to make it happen.” FLAVOR continued page 46

The cheer students need funds for uniforms, equipment, mats, T-shirts thrown out at games, and an away camp that truly transforms. Cheer is more than something happening on the sidelines of football games. Fellows said she’s seen confidence soar firsthand. “I had a girl who basically went mute around other people, and I’ve seen her grow so much. She gets the support from her teammates, and they really build each other up and support each other,” she said. If there’s one thing I know about Morro Bay locals, it’s that they support their own and they care about preserving the small-town feel of their unique coastal community. This is a culinary event that has absolutely nothing to do with wine tasting but everything to do with fun, family, and supporting area youth. No shade to the wine community, but sometimes you just want a cold margarita, some chips, and a lavishly decorated sombrero. “We’ll be out there selling chips and guacamole and performing cheers for everyone,” Fellows said. “People line up around the block.” If my limited experience with the cheerleaders is any indication, folks don’t just line up to stuff their faces with avocado-lime goodness. They’re looking for something else, too. It’s not every day you get a gaggle of cheerleaders chanting your name! It’s a joy everyone should experience at least once in their lives (thanks to the Morro Bay Chamber, you can plan on an annual boost). ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain wishes she could have a cheer squad follow her around daily. She can be reached at hthomas@ newtimesslo.com.

Just snap a pic while enjoying some Sculpterra wine (whether at home on a normal weekday, at an event, party, reunion, whatever). Include the necessary hashtags and post to your Instagram account. Then, just sit back and wait for head winemaker Paul Frankel to give you a call! Yes, he will indeed be picking out special bottles for each winning pic! Remember when “cool” contest prizes were all about RadioShack walkie-talkies, portable CD players, and flashy yo-yos? Me neither.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What’s the part of yourself that is least evolved and needs most transformation? Testify at freewillastrology.com. ARIES (March 21-April 19): The two pieces of advice I have for you may initially seem contradictory, but they are in fact complementary. Together they’ll help guide you through the next three weeks. The first comes from herbalist and wise woman Susun Weed. She suggests that when you face a dilemma, you should ask yourself how you can make it your ally and how you can learn the lesson it has for you. Your second burst of wisdom is from writer Yasmin Mogahed: “Study the hurtful patterns of your life. Then don’t repeat them.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Speak the following declaration aloud and see how it feels: “I want strong soft kisses and tender unruly kisses and secret truth kisses and surprise elixir kisses. I deserve them, too.” If that puts you in a brave mood, Taurus, add a further affirmation: “I want ingenious affectionate amazements and deep dark appreciation and brisk mirthful lessons and crazy sweet cuddle wrestles. I deserve them, too.” What do you think? Do these formulas work for you? Do they put you in the proper frame of mind to co-create transformative intimacy? I hope so. You’re entering a phase when you have maximum power to enchant and to be enchanted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As you map out your master plan for the next 14 months, I invite you to include the following considerations: an intention to purge pretend feelings and artificial motivations; a promise to change your relationship with old secrets so that they no longer impinge on your room to maneuver; a pledge to explore evocative mysteries that will enhance your courage; a vow to be kinder toward aspects of yourself that you haven’t loved well enough; and a search for an additional source of stability that will inspire you to seek more freedom.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you have been communing with my horoscopes for a while, you’ve gotten a decent education— for free! Nonetheless, you shouldn’t depend on me for all of your learning needs. Due to my tendency to emphasize the best in you and focus on healing your wounds, I may neglect some aspects of your training. With that as caveat, I’ll offer a few meditations about future possibilities. 1. What new subjects or skills do you want to master in the next three years? 2. What’s the single most important thing you can do to augment your intelligence? 3. Are there dogmas you believe in so fixedly and rely on so heavily that they obstruct the arrival of fresh ideas? If so, are you willing to at least temporarily set them aside?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “All the world’s a stage,” wrote Shakespeare, “And all the men and women merely players.” In other words, we’re all performers. Whenever we emerge from solitude and encounter other people, we choose to express certain aspects of our inner experience even as we hide others. Our personalities are facades that display a colorful mix of authenticity and fantasy. Many wise people over the centuries have deprecated this central aspect of human behavior as superficial and dishonest. But author Neil Gaiman thinks otherwise: “We are all wearing masks,” he says. “That is what makes us interesting.” Invoking his view—and in accordance with current astrological omens—I urge you to celebrate your masks and disguises in the coming weeks. Enjoy the show you present. Dare to entertain your audiences.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I think you’ve done enough rehearsals. At this point, the apparent quest for a little extra readiness is beginning to lapse into procrastination. So I’ll suggest that you set a date for opening night. I’ll nudge you to have a cordial talk with yourself about the value of emphasizing soulfulness over perfectionism. What? You say you’re waiting until your heart stops fluttering and your bones stop chattering? I’ve got good news: The greater your stage fright, the more moving your performance will be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In all the time we’ve worked on diminishing your suffering, we may have not focused enough on the fine art of resolving unfinished business. So let’s do that now, just in time for the arrival of your Season of Completion. Are you ready to start drawing the old cycle to a close so you’ll be fresh when the new cycle begins? Are you in the mood to conclude this chapter of your life story and earn the relaxing hiatus you will need before launching the next chapter? Even if you don’t feel ready, even if you’re not in the mood, I suggest you do the work anyway. Any business you leave unfinished now will only return to haunt you later. So don’t leave any business unfinished!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you ready to mix more business with pleasure and more pleasure with business than you have ever mixed? I predict that in the coming weeks, your social opportunities will serve your professional ambitions and your professional ambitions will serve your social opportunities. You will have more than your usual amount of power to forge new alliances and expand your web of connections. Here’s my advice: Be extra charming, but not grossly opportunistic. Sell yourself, but with grace and integrity, not with obsequiousness. Express yourself like a gorgeous force of nature, and encourage others to express themselves like gorgeous forces of nature.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “When I picture a perfect reader,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, “I picture a monster of courage and curiosity, also something supple, cunning, cautious, a born adventurer and discoverer.” I suspect he was using the term “monster” with a roguish affection. I am certainly doing that as I direct these same words toward you, dear Sagittarian reader. Of course, I am always appreciative of your courage, curiosity, cunning, suppleness, and adventurousness. But I’m especially excited about those qualities now, because the coming weeks will be a time when they will be both most necessary and most available to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You do not yet have access to maps of the places where you need to go next. That fact may tempt you to turn around and head back to familiar territory. But I hope you’ll press forward even without the maps. Out there in the frontier, adventures await you that will prepare you well for the rest of your long life. And being without maps, at least in the early going, may actually enhance your learning opportunities. Here’s another thing you should know: your intuitive navigational sense will keep improving the farther you get from recognizable landmarks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Healing isn’t impossible. You may not be stuck with your pain forever. The crookedness in your soul and the twist in your heart may not always define who you are. There may come a time when you’ll no longer be plagued by obsessive thoughts that keep returning you to the tormenting memories. But if you hope to find the kind of liberation I’m describing here, I advise you to start with these two guidelines: 1. The healing may not happen the way you think it should or imagine it will. 2. The best way to sprout the seeds that will ultimately bloom with the cures is to tell the complete truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Nineteenth-century British painter J. M. W. Turner was one of the greats. Renowned for his luminous landscapes, he specialized in depicting the power of nature and the atmospheric drama of light and color. Modern poet Mary Ruefle tells us that although he “painted his own sea monsters,” he engaged assistants “to do small animals.” She writes that “he could do a great sky, but not rabbits.” I’m hoping that unlike Turner, you Piscean folks will go both ways in the coming weeks. Give as much of your creative potency and loving intelligence to the modest details as to the sweeping vistas. ∆
