U.S. government mulls a raise for federal workers in SLO County PHOTO BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS

F

ederal employees in SLO County could see a boost to their paychecks next year thanks to proposed regulations currently making their way through the U.S. government’s approval process.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) proposal would close a gap in annual salary for federal employees in SLO County that allows their peers in neighboring California counties to make thousands more per year than they do.

The federal pay scale allows for percentage increases to salaries for employees to compensate them for the cost of living in the U.S. and overseas, commonly known as locality pay adjustments. The amount of that adjustment depends on where those employees live. Currently there are 33 locality pay regions in various areas across the country, usually located in and around major metropolitan cities and their surrounding suburbs.

Five of those regions are located in California.

Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Kern counties, for example, fall within the Los Angeles locality pay region, which provides a 30.5 percent locality pay increase for federal employees. To the north, Monterey County falls within the San Jose-San Francisco locality pay region, which offers employees a 39.2 percent locality pay increase—the highest of the state’s five regions.

Despite being surrounded by those counties, SLO County’s locality pay region is classified as “the rest of the U.S.,” which provides a 15.3 percent locality pay increase.

The classification has resulted in pay gaps for SLO federal employees when compared to their peers in nearby areas. Under the current structure, a mid-level federal employee in SLO could be earning $41,365 annually, while another employee with same job and years of experience in Santa Maria earns $46,815.

A federal employee in the same position in a

PAY RAISE A proposal from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management could increase pay for federal employees, like the ones who work in the Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic on Morro Street (pictured).

city in Monterey County would make $49,937, according to pay data from the OPM. The proposed regulations would move SLO County into the Los Angeles locality pay region.

According to the OPM’s proposal, that locality pay region surrounds 99 percent of SLO County.

“We review this situation as a geographic anomaly,” an OPM report from December 2016 stated.

It’s a problem that Dan Dale, a former commander of the American Legion Post 66 in SLO, wants to see addressed. Dale is in favor of the proposal, claiming that the current pay gap could have a negative impact on SLO’s outpatient Veteran Affairs (VA) clinic.

“The staff are paid less than anywhere else around us,” Dale said. “It’s very difficult for them to hold onto people there. ... I’ve had six different doctors in the last eight years.”

Dale raised concerns about the long-term

viability of the clinic should the wage gap remain or grow. He hoped that a pay scale increase would result in better recruitment and retention, and improve VA services in SLO County.

“The American Legion is an advocate for veterans, so we’re very concerned and want to make sure that our care here is the same quality as it would be anywhere else,” he said.

The changes to SLO County’s locality pay region is part of a larger pay adjustment proposal that could raise the salaries of more than 62,000 federal workers nationwide.

Before it can take effect, the change must be approved under the federal rulemaking process.

The OPM is currently accepting public comments on the proposal through Aug. 8. If approved, the changes will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2019. Δ —Chris McGuinness

Nacimiento group fights water releases

Bullard said.

Water released from Lake Nacimiento flows into the Salinas River, which in turn supports steelhead populations, replenishes the groundwater basin, and is used for farm irrigation in the Salinas Valley. Bullard said lake residents aren’t opposed to water being released for those purposes—just not at the complete expense of the lake recreation.

“We’re not trying to take the [water for] flood control, groundwater recharge, or irrigation,” he said. “We just want [recreation] to be managed in concert with the other three.”

Bullard added that Monterey County has “refused to negotiate in any way” on the issue and cast aside a recent petition with more than 6,000 signatories asking for reduced water releases. NRWMAC is now soliciting donations from lake property owners to a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for the legal and hydrology experts. It’s raised $40,776 as of press time.

“Hopefully they’ll provide us some options,” Bullard said.

Monterey County Water Resources Agency did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

With boat docks all around Lake Nacimiento gone dry from a heavy flow of reservoir water releases this year, lake property owners have stepped up their fight against the agency behind it.

A group representing Nacimiento residents, homeowners, and visitors has retained a water attorney and a team of hydrologists to explore a “legal remedy” to the Monterey County Water Resources Agency’s current water release schedule—which it’s called unprecedented and harmful to the lake economy.

“Most of the docks are dry. It gets dangerous,” said Don Bullard, president of the Nacimiento Regional Water Management Advisory Committee (NRWMAC). “The lake gets so narrow, with wake boarders in the lake, it’s absolutely dangerous.”

According to NRWMAC, lake levels are usually kept no lower than 748 feet above mean sea level. But as of press time, the lake had been drained, through the Nacimiento dam, to 734 feet—or 27 percent capacity. Monterey is currently releasing 360 cubic feet of water (about 2,700 gallons) out of the lake per second.

“A lot of residents are extremely upset,”

Morro Bay police chief leaves after 13 months

With a little more than one year under his belt as the Morro Bay police chief, Greg Allen announced that his last day with the department is Aug. 17.

“I have enjoyed serving as the chief of police for this department and the community,” Allen said in a July 23 press release. “Together we accomplished some great and honorable achievements, especially in the betterment of communication between members of the community. I will always appreciate the teamwork that I experienced between the police department and its community.”

New Times reached out to Allen for comment, but he did not respond before press time. Morro Bay City Manager Scott Collins said Allen is out of the office on a pre-scheduled vacation.

“We’ve reached a mutual agreement of separation and we reached a point where a change would be beneficial for the city and Greg,” Collins said. “I don’t know what his future plans are, but Greg is a good man and a good cop. We really appreciate what he’s done for the city.”

Moving forward, Collins said the city will soon begin the process of interviewing candidates to fill the position. The search will involve bringing in members from the community, city staff, and allied law enforcement departments to collaboratively work together to find a permanent replacement.

“I want to talk with the men and women of the Morro Bay Police Department and see what direction they want their department to go in,” Collins said.

He said the police chief position has seen significant turnaround over the last 10 to 15 years, and he’s hoping to bring stability with a new chief.

“My goal as city manager is to be here for a long time, because I’ve been working towards this my whole career,” Collins said.

“My second goal is to bring lasting stability, hiring executives who I can fully trust in doing their job, and help cultivate successful leadership for the city and the community.”

In May 2017, Allen was the top pick out of a pool of 40 candidates for police chief.

Prior to joining the Morro Bay Police Department, he served as acting police chief of the city of Greenfield.

Allen is a 34-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Allen was hired to fill in as police chief on May 31, 2017, after former Chief Amy Christie resigned to take the chief position at Pacific Grove Police Department. Christie served in the Morro Bay Police Department for four years.

Collins appointed police commander Jody Cox to serve as acting police chief as the city begins the process of hiring a permanent chief.

County planning director promises ‘consistent’ leadership With a unanimous vote in closed session on July 17, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors put an end to a 16-month vacancy at the helm of the Planning and Building Department, appointing Administrative Division Manager Trevor Keith to the director position.

Keith’s hire concluded a months-long national search to replace the previous planning director, Jim Bergman, who

resigned in March 2017 to become Arroyo Grande’s city manager.

“Even with the diversity of opinion on the board, Trevor has earned the confidence of all five of us,” 1st District Supervisor and board Chairman John Peschong said in a July 17 press release.

“Trevor’s professionalism, depth of experience, and knowledge of this community made him the obvious choice.”

A Cal Poly grad, Keith’s career at the county started in the planning department in 2007, where he climbed the ranks to deputy director in 2015. In 2016, he moved to the Administrative Office to serve as division manager.

Keith told New Times it was important to him to secure the board’s unanimous support during what he called “a critical time in our county’s history.”

“It gave me confidence that the board supports me right out of the gate, which, to me, was critical,” Keith said. “For my career path, this is definitely the direction I was headed, so I’m happy I’m making this transition.”

After the board finalizes his $181,000 contract at an Aug. 7 meeting, Keith will replace Interim Planning Director Marvin Rose, who held the job for more than a year while working just three days per week.

In that time, the department weathered challenges that included developing a contentious cannabis land-use ordinance, leading enforcement against illegal cannabis grows in the California Valley, grappling with seesawing politics on housing policies like the inclusionary housing ordinance, and having several employees leave, according to county sources.

Keith acknowledged it’s been a tough go for the department of late and said he’s looking forward to turning the page.

“It’s been a long haul for a lot of folks,” he said. “The issue in any department is when you don’t have consistent leadership—as far as somebody who really helps set the direction working with the board, the constituents, and the department. ... The benefit of having worked in the department for a number of years is that I think I have a good [finger on the] pulse of the department.”

In addition to tackling the major statewide issues of housing and cannabis, Keith said he’s excited about leading the county through the decommissioning of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. In May, he was one of 11 local residents selected to serve on the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel, which will provide input to PG&E on its decommission plan.

“I see that as a tremendous opportunity for our county to relook at the landscape out there, as one of the pristine coastlines in California [that’s] still pretty untouched,” Keith said.

Arroyo Grande to let state regulate local cannabis deliveries

Arroyo Grande is closer to, once again, allowing cannabis delivery services to operate within the city.

Members of the City Council voted 3-1 on July 24 to repeal local permitting requirements for commercial cannabis delivery businesses, deferring instead to the state’s regulations. Mayor Jim Hill was the lone dissenting vote, and Councilmember Tim Brown was absent from the meeting.

Since June 2016, the city’s municipal

6 • New Times • July 26 - August 2, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

code required commercial medical cannabis delivery services to obtain a permit from the city to operate. Its repeal will allow any delivery service to do businesses in the city as long as they obtain a license from the state’s Bureau of Cannabis Control.

“It continues the measured approach we’ve taken so far,” said Arroyo Grande Community Development Director Teresa McClish.

The vote comes after a clash between the city and state regulations caused Arroyo Grande’s first and only permitted delivery service, Elite Care Enterprises, to lose its state license. State regulations require delivery services to have nonstorefront premises to get their license, but Arroyo Grande’s local regulations prohibit any type of brick-and-mortar cannabis establishment within the city.

Post-repeal, Arroyo Grande will now require that all deliveries originate from outside the city, McClish said.

While neighboring cities like Grover Beach and SLO allow medical and recreational delivery services as well as retail stores, Arroyo Grande’s approach has been more cautious. The city banned commercial medical and recreational cultivation businesses as well as dispensaries.

Councilmember Barbara Harmon defended the conservative approach.

“We did what was right for the city at the time,” she said.

The repeal will come back before the council for a second reading on Aug. 7.

While deliveries in Arroyo Grande are set to resume, Hill noted that the city wouldn’t be able to collect any taxes from those businesses. Arroyo Grande does not have a commercial cannabis tax measure, something the council would have to put before voters to pass and implement.

“I think we are giving up any possibility of getting tax revenue,” Hill said at the meeting.

Paso police will keep public camera program

Paso Robles residents should get used to seeing the bubble-shaped pods of video cameras in public areas. They aren’t going anywhere any time soon, according to city officials.

After a yearlong pilot program, the Paso Robles City Council voted unanimously on June 17 to continue the use of the camera pods, which police say have helped enhance public safety in the city.

by Jayson Mellom

“Overall, they do appear to be a crime deterrent,” Paso Robles Police Department Cmdr. Stephen Lampe said.

The police department currently controls 15 total camera pods providing 58 different recording views for police to review. Each pod can be mounted on a pole or streetlight and has flashing blue lights to increase their visibility. The pods, which were first installed in April 2017, are portable and have been placed in several locations in the last year including city parks and the Paso Robles Event Center during the 2017 Mid-State Fair.

Paso joins several other SLO County cities currently using similar camera systems, including SLO, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, and Grover Beach.

According to Lampe, footage recovered from the cameras has already been used to investigate criminal cases. In May 2017, an officer requested footage from a camera pod to help investigate reports of an adult allegedly furnishing and smoking marijuana with a minor at Centennial Park. In July of that same year, the California Highway Patrol requested footage from a camera pod set up near the event center while investigating a vehicle theft.

But not everyone is sold on the presence of the cameras. Mayor Steve Martin said he’d heard from some residents who were concerned that the pods represented an intrusion of their privacy. Resident Jeff Horton said he wanted more information about how the units were monitored and if they were cost effective.

“I noticed when those things first started going up,” Horton said. “I was saying, ‘Oh my God, it’s 1984 again.’”

In late August, an anonymous Paso Robles resident started an online petition demanding that the pods be removed, characterizing them as “another blow to our right to privacy.” As of July 25, the petition had 54 signatories.

At the meeting, Lampe addressed some of those concerns, stating that the cameras were placed in public areas and did not look into residents’ windows or backyards.

“The only view you can see from these cameras is what you’d see walking down the street,” he said.

Paso Robles initially purchased the camera system using a $62,500 grant from the California Board of State and Community Corrections. Reoccurring costs to continue the camera program were estimated at $25,000 annually.

Currently, Lampe said he was not aware of any plans to expand the program. Δ —Chris McGuinness and Peter Johnson

Labor debate

SLO enters talks with unions for a local worker preference on ‘most expensive project’ in city history

S

an Luis Obispo City Hall bustled in a way it rarely does on July 10—with a jam-packed council chambers and a sizeable spillover crowd huddled in a conference room next door watching a video feed.

Attendees included local electricians, carpenters, pipefitters, and other skilled tradesmen. They were there to ask SLO City Councilmembers for a job.

SLO is nearing the start of construction on a series of upgrades to its nearly century-old Water Resource Recovery Facility on Prado Road. The renovations are years in the works and tardy; federal regulators all but mandated them as part of a 2014 discharge permit that requires the city to use a new disinfectant system to reduce pollutants in its treated wastewater that’s flushed daily down the San Luis Creek to the ocean.

Coming in at an estimated $114 million, the upgrades mark “the most expensive” and “most complicated” public project “in the history of the city,” according to SLO City Manager Derek Johnson. And local trade workers want first dibs on it.

Dozens showed up to the City Council study session on July 10 about Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) and asked the city to use one for the wastewater project.

A PLA is a contract between a project owner and labor unions establishing the

terms and conditions of employment for that project. A PLA has never been used in the city, but advocates argued it’s the most sure-fire way to guarantee local workers are employed. That’s because the PLA can include a local hire provision that gives first preference on any job to a local worker. Exactly what “local” means can be defined by the city. “[A PLA] is an investment in our community,” said Daniel Mora, a representative for the Central Coast Labor Council. “It helps really preserve the middle class in this city. … It will involve skilled workers. … It will get done on time and on budget.”

The most recent example of a PLA used in SLO County was for the Topaz Solar Farm on the Carrizo Plain—a private project that commenced shortly after the recession hit in 2008.

Third District SLO County Supervisor Adam Hill described the project and its PLA provisions as “a saving grace for our community.” One journeyman electrician who worked on it said the project “changed people’s lives.”

“Millions of solar panels and hundreds of jobs went to hardworking men and women in this community and throughout the county,” the electrician, Jack Johnson, said.

Another solar farm worker said he’d struggled for years with substance abuse and stints in jail until he started an apprenticeship

and was brought onto the project.

“I was given the opportunity of a lifetime. It essentially enabled me to be where I’m at today,” he said. “I’ll be forever grateful for that opportunity. It’s had an immense positive impact on my life and career.”

Many speakers alluded to the looming Diablo Canyon Power Plant closure as a loss for skilled laborers that public projects could help alleviate. They argued a PLA was critical for keeping those jobs local.

“I’m acutely aware of how many out-of-town and out-of-state electrical contractors work in SLO and bring their workforce with them,” said Sean Perry, membership development coordinator for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 639.

The PLA earned support from the labor unions and groups like the SLO County Democrats and SLO Progressives. It received opposition from the Coalition for Fair Employment and Construction and the SLO County Builders Exchange, whose reps warned against increasing overall project costs and disenfranchising non-union workers.

“PLAs are always good for the union but not so much for the guy who has an open shop,” said Cordelia Perry, executive director of the Builders Exchange.

After public comment, City Councilmembers voiced their support for a PLA, but expressed wariness about the timing. So did their staff. SLO has a deadline of November 2019 to stop current wastewater discharges it’s already going to miss. There’s no wiggle room left.

“Our schedule had a little bit of float in

it, but all of our float has been used and more,” Utilities Director Carrie Mattingly said. “The fact remains we are in a little bit of a pickle.”

City Manager Johnson added that a PLA would be “a significant pivot for the city” at this juncture with “a lot of unknowns that we can’t answer for you.”

“Your team has a lot of balls in the air,” he said. “The risks are real.”

Ultimately, the City Council directed staff to negotiate a PLA for the project; but if terms couldn’t be reached by Oct. 12, they’d move forward with a traditional construction bid with a local hire component, which reportedly would not be as strong as a PLA. Administration of a successful PLA is estimated to cost the city between $176,000 and $277,000.

In supporting a PLA, City Councilmember Andy Pease emphasized her desire to hold a level playing field for non-union workers.

“Local is local,” Pease said. “Whether you’re a union or non-union [member], you can register at the union hall. That’s important to me.”

Mayor Heidi Harmon offered enthusiastic support for the idea.

“Our job is to stand up and stand with local people here and local families here,” Harmon said. “I know a lot of union folks in general. When they’re lifted, their entire family goes with them. This has huge rippling impacts. Unions are generally a force for good.” Δ Staff Writer Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

From farm, to app, to table

N

ot all kale is created equally.

Sure, you can always pick up some bagged kale at the supermarket.

However, you can also grab some fresh and locally grown kale, straight from the hands of a farmer you know. Cam Sluggett wants to help you with the second option.

Growing up in Oakdale (the “Cowboy Capital of the World”), Sluggett spent many of his weekends working on ranches and hanging out with local farmers.

He loves getting to know farmers and discussing their products, yet believes many people are disconnected from how their food gets to their table. As not only a farm enthusiast but tech junkie, Sluggett’s determined to change that with a smartphone app.

“Right now, there’s nothing that lets people say, ‘I want the lettuce now, and I want to know the farmer and where they picked the lettuce from,’” Sluggett said. “I’m mainly concerned with helping people connect with farmers, knowing where their food comes from, and knowing it’s good food.”

Sluggett’s solution is Arkitu, an app for farmers and consumers alike on the Central Coast. Arkitu, which means “find it” in Basque, is a mobile marketplace of sorts: Vendors can drop pins on maps of where they will be and when—think farmers’ markets—and buyers can use the app to find where to go for the products they need.

Let’s say you want to purchase some ghee. After searching “ghee” in the app, you’ll learn Grateful Ghee offers sustainably made ghee at the downtown SLO Farmers’ Market each Thursday.

If you want to know what else will be available at that market, you can search by location to see which vendors will be available and when.

A payment option is also gradually being introduced. Consumers can look at a vendor’s products through Arkitu, select and purchase the ones they want, and show the vendor an online receipt to pick up their order. This option is currently only available for 10 vendors, but Sluggett is focusing on reaching out to more to help them set up the feature.

“I designed it so they can quickly set it up on a computer at home and then just go to the market and do their thing,” Sluggett said. “It enables farmers to take a form of electronic payment without having any technology at the market, because that’s a big barrier to them.”

Sluggett believes both the increased ease of finding products and additional payment options will encourage more people to utilize farmers’ markets and connect with local farmers.

“I want people to understand the food isn’t just there—more than likely the person you see selling it is picking it,” Sluggett said. “I want people to say, ‘I know the guy who picked this avocado. He makes

MAKING THE CONNECTION Combining his love for both agriculture and technology, Cam Sluggett created an app that connects farmers and consumers.

me laugh and I see him every week.’”

Arkitu is currently available for free through the App Store. If any vendor is interested in featuring their products through the app, visit arkitu.co or email Sluggett at cam@arkitu.co.

Coming back down from the peak of the battle against opioids in SLO County

I

BY RYAH COOLEY

hate waiting. My first memory of the moment when waiting fades from boredom to fear to heartstopping anxiety goes back to the night of Oct. 11, 1996. I was at my aunt and uncle’s house in Atascadero, where my dad was staying at the time.

I was 6 years old. I fell asleep asking my mom when my dad was coming back home to see me.

When I woke up he was dead.

As far as I know, he planned to come back that night.

He hadn’t gone far. The coroner’s report lists the death of my father, Dana Michael Cooley, as “accidental.”

On his last night alive, he had been home for one week after completing a rehab program for the second time in about a year, this one in Port Hueneme, near Oxnard. When he overdosed on that fatal hit of heroin, it was too much for his detoxed body to process. He died at a friend’s house in a Paso Robles trailer park, just a mile away from my old elementary school. He was 35 years old. Police found him with the syringe still in his lifeless hands.

Some memories of my dad are sharp: One morning post rehab, I thanked him for making me breakfast, and he looked me right in the eyes and said, “I love cooking for you.” There was also the night he put me in the bathtub and left the water running so long that I figured out how to turn off the water, climbed out, and went to find him. He was passed out in the living room unconscious, either from pills or heroin. Eventually he came to. Other recollections of my dad are soft and fuzzy around the edges. I have a blurry picture in my mind of both my parents waking me up for the first day of kindergarten.

Aside from my mom, the people who knew him best, his family, don’t talk about him a lot. It brings back memories not just of the painful end of his life, but of the troubled childhood he and his four sisters shared. My aunt, who lived with my dad during the last days of his life, told me she wasn’t up to talking about her brother when I said I was working on this story. She said a sadness came over her that she hadn’t felt in a while.

Loss is hard, and it’s murkier to navigate when the cloud of addiction settles in. More than 20 years later, with 22 reported fatal opioid overdoses in the county in 2017, my story is still far from unique.

Since 1999, just three years after my dad lost his battle with addiction, the U.S. has seen a dramatic increase in the number of pain medications, sedatives, and stimulants prescribed. Since 2007 deaths related to drug overdoses have increased in every county across the nation.

In SLO County, opioid-related overdose deaths more than doubled from 15 in 2006 to 37 in 2016. But there are glimmers of hope. According to preliminary data from the SLO Opioid Safety Coalition, there were just 22 opioid-related deaths recorded in 2017. If confirmed, this would be the first decline since 2012.

Drug addiction is a strange and endlessly hungry beast. Even as science continues to confirm that it is in fact a disease, we struggle on a personal and societal level to treat it that way. Yet people in SLO County and beyond continue to lose sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, parents, and friends to the latest iteration of the opioid epidemic. These families, like me, have memories that refuse to fade as the community continues to tally up stories of loss and hope that mark the lives of those left behind.

Using for the rest of my life

Kim Lacey’s tattoo is one of the first things I noticed when we met up to talk at Kreuzberg Coffee in Paso Robles on a sweltering summer day in June.

A little red heart with wings outlined in black marks one of the Atascadero resident’s inner wrists. It’s the paralegal’s first and only tattoo. She got inked after the 2016 death of her then 22-year-old son, Ty, who

overdosed on heroin just days after being kicked out of a rehab program in Santa Cruz.

My first tattoo is on the inside of my left ankle—a loopy black signature of the name “Michael Cooley,” pulled straight from my birth certificate. Lacey tells me her husband, Dan Grahm, also has a commemorative tattoo on his forearm, featuring their son’s initials on a shield with a single wing behind it. The design comes from one of Ty’s drawings.

Though toward the end of Ty’s life he was close with his mother, it wasn’t always that way.

“There was a time where I could barely speak to him without being angry,” Lacey said. “We didn’t have any exchanges.”

Ty went to a yearlong therapeutic residential program in Utah when he was 16 to deal with issues surrounding defiant behavior and substance abuse. Lacey thought the worst might be over. He came home and picked If you or someone you know is back up with his pastime struggling with addiction, there are of pole vaulting, turned resources locally and nationally, 18, and graduated from including SLO County Drug and Alcohol Services (slocounty.ca.gov), Atascadero High School. the SLO Bangers Syringe Exchange Things continued to look (slobangers.com), the SLO Opioid up when he enrolled at Safety Coalition, and the National Cuesta College and got a Helpline for Substance Abuse job delivering pizzas. and Mental Health Services But just a year into his Administration (1-800-662-HELP or samhsa.org). schooling, Ty decided to drop out. A few months later, he started to sleep a lot more and missed work. Eventually he lost his job. He would get belligerent when his parents tried to talk with him about their concerns.

“I was trying to be really clear that he had to work and contribute,” Lacey said. “People would say that he was just trying to find himself, but I sensed more. It wasn’t OK.” Lacey found discarded needles in Ty’s room and told him he had to move out. She didn’t know what else to do.

“It’s really hard to kick someone out onto the street when you know they’re going to be homeless,” Lacey said.

After wearing out his welcome on different friends’ couches, Ty did become homeless. He would sneak back home from time to time to try and live in the yard.

Once when Lacey and her husband were on vacation, Ty and his friends parked an RV in the driveway until the neighbors called the cops. Ty stole family heirlooms like silver and watches from his parents to get money for drugs. When Ty stole his father’s truck one day, both of

his parents finally pressed charges.

During one of many stints in jail, Ty and his mom finally began to build their relationship back up again.

“I just remember struggling,” Lacey said of one of her first visits to see Ty while he was in jail. “Three hours is a lot of time to talk with anyone. We talked about the dog, people we had in common, what we were reading, pretty much kept it light. I wasn’t trying to fix him.”

After his release, Ty overdosed on heroin at a Starbucks in Atascadero in 2015. He called his parents afterward and told them he wanted to go to rehab. They drove down to a Salvation Army in Anaheim, because the faith-based program was free. But Ty wasn’t admitted because he had outstanding probation violations.

So they went home. When Ty was finally sentenced, he was told he had to go to residential rehab and had 24 hours to do so. So Lacey and her husband drove back down to Anaheim again. This time around, the medications Ty was on for ADHD and anxiety disqualified him from being admitted to the Salvation Army’s program. And he didn’t have a medical waiver from a doctor to come off the medications. There weren’t any residential treatment beds available in the SLO area at the time, and no one from the county had told Lacey or her husband that Ty would be denied by the Salvation Army.

“It remains to me a real frustration that the county would discharge someone to deliver them to a program that’s not going to accept him in the condition he’s in,” Lacey said.

Finally, Ty found a spot at a program in Santa Cruz called New Life Services. As part of rehab, Ty got a job and worked at the local Goodwill warehouse. On Mother’s Day that year, 2016, Ty sent his mom a card saying that she inspired him.

“As he got clean, the kid I knew started to come back,” Lacey said.

Then, a friend used Ty’s nicotine vaping device inside the rehab facility, which isn’t allowed. Both Ty and his friend were kicked out. Ty was told he could re-apply within five days. His parents put him up in a hotel room for a night until he could stay with a coworker who had offered their couch the following day. He got paid and reimbursed his mom for the room via Facebook.

“I was terrified of what could go on in that motel room,” Lacey said. “Like all people being discharged from jail or rehab, you’re in danger of relapsing.”

The next night Ty stayed on his coworker’s couch at her family’s home. By morning, he was dead.

His friend’s husband found Ty passed out on the floor in the middle of the night in the midst of an overdose. The couple was from South America and didn’t speak much English, and the man couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Ty and put him back on the couch. When they found Ty dead in the morning, the couple called the police.

It was close to noon on a Saturday morning and Lacey was pulling weeds in the front yard. She noticed a police car drive by. They live on a dead-end street so not much traffic goes by. “‘Thank God I don’t have to worry that they’re coming to my house,’” Lacey said she thought to herself. “And then I saw them stop and turn around, and then I knew.

They pretty much had to pick me up and carry me into the house.”

Do less harm

For more than a decade after my dad died, it seemed pretty cut and dry to me: Either you’re using or you’re sober. I’ve never done heroin. One hit and I was sure I’d fall in between the cracks to where no one could find me, just like my dad did years ago.

But I know now that addiction, sobriety, and recovery are nuanced. A lot of people spend much of their lives in those in-between places. Meeting people where they are is an idea that Katie Grainger wishes more people would consider. Until recently, she worked as an overdose prevention educator for the county and on the Naloxone Action Team for the SLO Opioid Safety Coalition.

“There’s people who sort of believe in the Darwinian theory of addiction, but I think the thing that will help is just bringing back humanity,” Grainger said. “With addiction there is a vilification and even a romanticism attached to it, and that can be a problem.”

Preventing overdoses is personal for Grainger. Her ex-husband and the father of her young son is currently incarcerated on drug-related charges and was sentenced

A LEGACY Sandy Wortley’s son, Bryan (center), left behind two children when he died in 2010 after battling an addiction to opioids. Wortley opened Bryan’s House, a residential treatment facility for women struggling with substance abuse, in her son’s memory.

to nine years. He’s eligible for parole in 2023. After the two divorced and Grainger was diagnosed with cancer, she said, he once overdosed on heroin five times in the span of two months. She knows he’s only alive today because people in his life had access to naloxone, also known as Narcan.

The drug is an opioid reversal medication that can save the lives of people in the throes of a deadly heroin overdose. The idea is that if people can just stay alive long enough, they’ll eventually be able to pursue treatment.

“You have to kind of accept people as they are,” Grainger said. “Abstinence isn’t going to work for everyone. Pursue everything.”

Although naloxone was approved by the FDA for use during opioid overdoses in 1971, it remains controversial.

The SLO Bangers Syringe Exchange estimates that since they started distributing naloxone for free in 2017, there have been 171 overdose reversals in the county.

“The stigma is that they have character flaws, that this is a moral failure,” said Lois Petty, site manager for the exchange. “Addiction is complicated. People want to demonize people who use drugs. Our drug policies are not effective. How does incarcerating somebody who has lost the will to see any kind of happiness help?”

And therein lies the root of the problem for people like Petty, Grainger, and other advocates for harm reduction: We treat drug addiction like the crime we’ve deemed it to be rather than the disease it actually is.

“Our county jail is our largest detox facility,” Grainger said. “Instead of criminalizing people, we should work on healing society and work on creating a world that’s worth living in for those who are suffering. And that’s a lot harder to do; that takes everyone. Some people can’t completely give up everything.”

Ideally, Petty said that the people who come to the needle exchange in SLO every Wednesday would be able to inject their drugs on-site, in a safe space. But she knows that’s a long way from happening on the Central Coast, even though San Francisco opened the first safe injection site in the country on July 1. While the idea is brand new in the U.S., facilities like Vancouver’s Insite have seen no overdose fatalities on its premises since opening in 2003. The clinic does not supply any drugs. Medical staff is present to provide addiction treatment, mental health assistance, and first aid in the event of an overdose or wound. Last year, Insite recorded 175,464 visits.

But providing a space to allow people to put illegal drugs into their bodies doesn’t sit well with everyone.

Even a few years ago, I would have vehemently opposed the idea of the drug that killed my dad being freely used in a hospital-like setting. But I’m 28 years old now, just seven years younger than my dad was when he died.

One day, I will have been on this Earth longer than he was. The closer I get to 35, the more I wonder. Had there been a facility like Insite in SLO County in 1996 or had naloxone been distributed to heroin users the way it is now, my father might still be alive today. The wisp of that idea, of what could have been, is just too emotionally powerful not to consider.

“Part of the solution is to stop treating addiction like it’s something horrible,” Petty said. “Harm reduction is treatment. We want people to be safe. We want people to be alive. They know we care about them. We value them, but we’re not trying to fix them.”

The other side

About a year after my father died, in October 1997, my mom (who now goes by Stacy Smith) read an article in the SLO Telegram Tribune (known today as simply The Tribune) that really upset her. It was an Associated Press wire story about a grandmother in Ventura who worked as a prostitute to make enough money to keep buying heroin to feed her addiction. The article ran in the same issue as an ad my mother had paid to run in the paper on the anniversary of my dad’s death, featuring a family photo of me as a toddler with my parents on vacation, before they had divorced, with the words, “The surviving family of Michael Cooley would like to remind you that drug abuse doesn’t just kill addicts. It kills sons, dads, brothers, friends, families, and probably someone you’ve known and loved.

We wish Michael were here today and drugs were not.”

a reminder of better days for our small family of three.

Until now, I’d had no idea she’d run that photo and those words in the paper. She felt the story and the photo of the woman from Ventura glamorized drug use and that it was tactless to run her ad in the same issue.

“What kind of mixed message are you trying to send the youth of the county who may be inclined to read the paper?” my mom wrote in a letter to theneditor John T. Moore. The letter also ran in the paper.

Moore took the time to respond to my mom in a one-page letter of his own.

“My reaction to the story was completely opposite to yours,” Moore wrote. “I found it initially sad that any individual would so waste her life. … I can find nothing in it that would be construed as an encouragement for the lifestyle that this individual chose.”

My mom appreciated Moore’s response but still felt like he missed the point, which she laid out again in a follow-up letter.

“The bottom line is that heroin kills families, and leaves a messy puzzle to put back together for the surviving ones,” she responded I asked my mom recently why she chose to run that ad and write that letter to Moore.

“I felt like I couldn’t do anything to bring him [Michael] back, but I could pipe up about it,” she told me.

Like my mom, Sandy Wortley is another woman from North County who lost a young man in her life to heroin. Her son, Bryan, was just 32 years old when he died in 2010. I drove out to Paso Robles on a sunny day in June to talk with her at Bryan’s House, a residential treatment center with beds for five women with substance abuse issues and their children.

Wortley serves as the director, and her daughter, Alicia McAllister, is the program coordinator.

Sandy said her son got hooked on opioid painkillers after breaking his neck when he was 27 years old. He started doctor shopping and ordering pills online to get his fix. Around 2008, Bryan decided to get clean on Suboxone, an opioid

blocker that at the time was used just for detox, but it’s now also used for long-term recovery, which is what Bryan ended up doing. The drug eases the symptoms of withdrawal and prevents users from getting high if they do take an opioid while on it.

However, Suboxone can be fatal when mixed with Xanax, which is what happened to Bryan. In 2010, he spent a week on the phone trying to get his doctor to give him a new prescription for Suboxone after he lost the first one. While at his grandparent’s house in Brea, Bryan found some Xanax in the cupboard.

There were just enough trace amounts of Suboxone in his body after not taking any for several days.

By morning he was found dead in the bathtub.

“To me it was like, why did this happen now?”

Wortley said. “It’s such a hard disease.”

Previously, Wortley worked for the county as a counselor. When a grant came up in 2013 to open a residential sober living center, a coworker urged her to apply for it and name it Bryan’s House, in memory of her son. When Bryan died, he left behind a wife and two young children. She said most of the women who come to Bryan’s House now have a history of using heroin.

“We’re helping people get clean so other kids won’t lose their parents,” Wortley said. “I just feel there was a purpose behind it, maybe this is it.

Who knows. It’s super healing.”

My mom recently told me that she wondered whether my dad might still be alive today if he hadn’t had such a traumatic childhood. I mused that maybe he would be alive still if naloxone was distributed in SLO County in the 1990s like it is today. It’s easy to get lost in a world of what-ifs, but as McAllister reminded me when we sat and talked inside Bryan’s House, heroin is a drug that moves quickly, leaving little time for course correction for those it snares in its trap.

“You either stay in recovery or you die,” McAllister said. “It only ends two ways.” ∆ Send comments to Arts Editor Ryah Cooley at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Learn from Ulterior agendas Los Osos Morro Bay residents should support a new water reclamation facility and avoid escalating costs

I

moved to Morro Bay in 2016 and served as interim city manager for Morro Bay from June to November 2017. In my 30-year local government career, I have been involved in the development and construction of numerous public works projects, but none as controversial and complex as the water reclamation facility (WRF) being proposed for the city of Morro Bay. This project has been beset by controversy since its inception. The city lost a partner in Cayucos after an appeal at the California Coastal Commission; costs have escalated beyond expectations; and numerous locations and alternate designs have been pursued. This is a frustrating project that, quoting a speaker at my first City Council meeting, “tears at the fabric of our community.”

However, more delays will undoubtedly lead to higher costs for this project, as the Los Osos experience has shown us.

There is a citizens’ group that is promoting a “Plan B” option that is truly a pipe dream: retaining the wastewater plant “at or near its current location” and to “meet with public agencies and develop affordable options.” This view is overly optimistic and naïve and simply “kicks the can down the road.” While at the city, I participated in a meeting with the Coastal Commission staff, and they made

HODIN

it very clear that they would not support keeping the plant or building a new plant anywhere near the current location. If the Coastal Commission would even consider allowing upgrades to the existing plant, it would only be with a “planned retreat” to move the facility in a 20- to 30-year time frame, thus drastically increasing the long-range costs.

This citizens’ group also met with Coastal Commission staff last summer and they failed to obtain any commitment for consideration of keeping the plant at its current location. Rightfully so, given the dangers of costal flooding and ocean rise.

Current funding for the project includes a federal low-interest loan that will fund a new source of water for Morro Bay, and the city is pursuing opportunities for state funding to further reduce costs. I support the WRF project, as further delay will only increase project costs—as it did in Los Osos. The proposed WRF is the appropriate project that deserves to be funded and built. ∆ Martin Lomeli is a Morro Bay resident who served as the Morro Bay interim city manager from June to November 2017.

Is development the reason why Morro Bay chose an expensive location for its WRF?

M

any Morro Bay residents have asked why the city has so vehemently pursued siting the new water reclamation facility (WRF) at the South Bay Boulevard location, to the exclusion of any other possible site and despite so much resident opposition.

That site is the most expensive of the sites studied and presents potential major changes in how Morro Bay will look in the future.

Clues to the city’s possible motive lie in the terms of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the city and the TRI-W Corporation, which owns the South Bay Boulevard property. The MOU could indicate major development for the land adjacent to the proposed WRF site.

The 30 acres the city intends to buy from TRI-W is part of a 396-acre tract of land consisting of three parcels. The largest parcel (named the “remainder parcel” in the MOU), which includes the proposed WRF site, is located outside city limits. The other two are inside city limits. Why buy 30 acres, when the current plant is 5.7 acres? Perhaps as a buffer to development?

To facilitate development of undeveloped land, three conditions are essential. First is approval of the land’s inclusion in the city’s sphere

of influence. That designation means adjacent land could be annexed to the city. Secondly, infrastructure (city services, like sewer and water) must be available. Thirdly, there must be good access to the property.

Two recitals in the MOU address the sphere of influence and provision of city services to the property. MOU No. 8 says the “city will process an annexation proposal for the property to modify its sphere of influence to include the remainder parcel.” That would pave the way for annexing the land currently outside city limits into the city. That land then too could receive city infrastructure services. MOU No. 10 states the “city will continue to supply city services to adjacent parcels within city limits,” which “currently have (historical) water service from city meters and city hereby agrees to continue to provide that water service at rates applied to other similar uses.”

A farmhouse and farm buildings, since demolished, once stood on that parcel.

Two recitals address access to the entire TRI-W property. Lack of access has been a major deterrent to otherwise legal development on TRI-W land within city limits. Although 150 acres of the COMMENTARY continued page 14

Opinion A ‘yes’ vote on water recycling in Morro Bay

The Dutch colonized Cape Town, South Africa, before the Spanish built missions in California. Water was plentiful. Until recently, dependable rainfall supplied Cape Town as its population grew. Now, rainfall patterns have changed. Taps are running dry, and Cape Town residents face dependence on bottled water.

The diminishing Sierra snowpack trend prompted the city of Los Angeles to upgrade the Terminal Island sewer plant with the same technology proposed for Morro Bay’s water reclamation facility. Since Owens Valley water is so affordable for LA, why invest in recycling? The answer is prudence.

State water supplying our Central Coast is not dependable. We must make the choice to secure water for ourselves.

Voting “no” on our rate increase will cost dearly. Delaying Morro Bay’s new sewer plant will cost money that can be used for water supply.

Long-term interest rates are going up and will add millions of dollars to the final project cost if we vote down this upgrade opportunity. Starting another fight with the Coastal Commission on a new plant west of Highway 1 will add years to our non-compliance with federal water standards. The costs will go up the longer we procrastinate.

Support water recycling.

Stand strong, History Center

Please don’t waste another minute re-thinking your decision to fly the gay pride flag at the History Center in SLO. The limited rhetoric from a few (very few) people in SLO County that were disappointed is beyond ridiculous.

Thank you for standing up for all citizens of SLO County and being supportive of Pride in the Plaza. The gay COMMENTARY from page 13

property already lie within city limits, they are virtually landlocked. In the late 1980s, access to the property from city streets was estimated to cost $3 million to be funded by the city’s taxpayers.

MOU No. 9 reads, “the access and utility easements to be provided over the remainder parcel … will be improved and maintained by the city.” MOU No. 11 promises that the “city will provide assistance to owner for owner to confirm the validity of the existing access easements adjoining both the adjacent parcels within the city limits and the remainder parcel and will assist owner to assure access from the city’s right-of-way to those parcels.” The right-of-way is from South Bay Boulevard to the new WRF. MOU No. 13 addresses water. It says, “the city agrees to provide that recycled water for agricultural uses on the remainder parcel at rates applied to other similar users within the city.” How much and what quality of recycled water is not specified, but the city water system is planned to be extended to the WRF for fire suppression. From there it could be extended to the TRI-W property.

The three necessary elements for development will potentially be satisfied by these terms of the MOUs. With the presence of adjacent developed property (the WRF, the Casa de Flores facility, the small housing tract next to Casa de Flores, and the Radcliffe housing tract on the property’s west end), it would not be difficult for the

Breath of fresh air

Scott Fina’s opinion piece (“A Mae Sai ethos,” July 19) was excellent. In fact, it was superb. Dr. Fina presented his clear, knowledgeable view of the Mae Sai rescue based on his direct experience of the dangers, skill, courage, and altruism that ultimately made the rescue a success. He wisely pointed out that amazing things can be done when people of diverse ethnicities, religions, political views, and nationalities put aside their differences and join together for a deeply humane cause.

His extrapolations to the divisive, polarized milieu of our own nation were a breath of fresh air. Thank you, Scott Fina.

city to argue that the land for grazing is no longer viable or appropriate (cultivation was ruled out long ago).

Rezoning to commercial, visitor serving, and housing could be made to appear very logical.

Any annexation to Morro Bay must be approved by a vote of its citizens.

How would the city sell this idea to a community that has long resisted the destruction of its small-town character?

It isn’t difficult to imagine the city arguing that the onerous burden of sewer/water bills for the grossly expensive new WRF project and the city’s financial shortfalls would be alleviated by having hundreds more ratepayers to share the high costs.

Out of desperation, voters might approve annexation of TRI-W property currently outside city limits and the development of the hillsides would begin.

Some may say this scenario is fantasy, but many will recognize its plausibility. The city’s dogged insistence on moving forward with its completely unaffordable and, in many ways, illogical WRF project does not appear to make sense in any other context. ∆ Nancy Bast is a 40-year Morro Bay resident and member of Citizens for Affordable Living, a group “dedicated to building a WRF within budget defined by the current sewer rate structure vote.”

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AMY HEWES

To give or to deny?

F

or 13 days this month, I was cocooned in the hospital with my almost-97-year-old mother who battled pneumonia with all the tools of modern medicine. After realizing that she could not recover, and after my dad had a heartbreaking conversation with her about her wishes and options, we moved her into hospice in the hospital. She died at dawn the next morning, surrounded by her children and husband of 72 years.

“Cocooned” may seem an odd word choice, but, in truth, for those two weeks, the world fell away. Through days and hours of bedside watch, the doctors and nurses cared for Mom—and also tended to Dad, me, my brother, sister, and several of Mom’s grandchildren.

The medical staff included attending and consulting doctors and specialists, nurses, nurses’ aides, physical therapists, a palliative physician, hospice team, social workers, and hospital chaplains.

Every single caregiver came by daily and hourly on rounds or responded directly to our summons. They gave us their full attention, professionalism, empathy, unfailing courtesy, and compassion.

They guided Mom and us on this journey, professing that their work was a privilege.

Coming out of this tunnel, I have been jarred by the cacophony of our world and the ugliness of our political discourse.

But witnessing and experiencing Mom’s mortal passage made clear a life lesson.

LETTERS from page 14

Weigh the costs of climate change

If we ban fracking and new oil wells in SLO County, Sentinel Peak warns “eventually” we will lose jobs: “20-plus employees and more than 100 contract workers.” What’s even worse, we will lose money: “$1 million to the county’s general fund” and “$64 million in economic input.” Yipes!

If climate change is real, as the far-leftist U.S. Department of Defense seems to think (see its 2015 report “National Security Implications of Climate-related Risks and a Changing Climate”), Sentinel Peak is talking chump change: “[The Department of Defense] must consider the effects of climate change—such as sea level rise, shifting climate zones, and more frequent and intense severe weather events—and how these effects could impact national security.”

What are some costs of continuing to extract and burn fossil fuels? The Northern California firestorm in October 2017 destroyed 8,900 buildings and cost more than $9.4 billion. Forty-four civilians died. Should deaths be factored in? Can we count wildlife?

Consider the Santa Barbara mudslides six months ago—21 dead, at least $177 million of property damage, $7 million in emergency responses, and $43 million in cleanup costs.

Right now, people are turning away from Yosemite. That’s got to cost the tourism industry some bucks and jobs, right?

Who’s going to burn next, Sentinel? Are you going to pay? I thought not. Vote yes on Measure G if you value our lives.

Russian money

Mr. Fonzi’s July 19 opinion article (“What a tangled web we weave”) pointed the finger at Andrew Christie of the Sierra Club for the group’s connection to Russian money, when he should have used his words to sound the clarion

Looking back, I am wholly grateful to the hospital staff for their skill and kindness. All these strangers modeled how each of us would hope to be treated, how we should want to treat others. In one of life’s most difficult transitions, they prioritized dignity, recognition, and love.

As I held Mom’s hand, I thought about how short life is—even 97 years is only a “brief candle,” as Shakespeare reminded us. It was no stretch to realize that our job as human beings is simple: to love and care for one another and the world.

Simple, but not simplistic.

Caring for each other provides a rubric for policy and legislation. As you consider public policy, ask first if a political proposal reflects love and care for individuals or the environment. I’m not talking about how to best serve corporate interests, because corporations are not individuals: Industry’s concern is profit, not people. You’re in denial if you think otherwise.

The care Mom received manifested the hospital’s values: It was gold standard.

Having recently visited with homeless individuals in San Luis Obispo, I know that this level of medical care is absolutely not available to all.

I am confused as to why we wouldn’t make it a priority to ensure that fellow citizens as well as loved ones have access to gold standard medicine. Certainly no discrimination was given to Mom, despite the fact that she was 97 and some would

argue that resources might be better spent on younger patients. The hospital staff provided around-the-clock support and love without distinction or prejudice.

That’s caring.

On the other hand, the Trump administration has done everything it can to gut the Affordable Care Act, most recently refusing to defend key provisions in court, such as protections for those with pre-existing conditions. Wait! Is being 97 a pre-existing protection?

Let’s apply the rubric to other issues.

What about separating families and young children who are fleeing violence in their native countries? Putting kids in detention centers or foster care? Research on children and their developing brains confirms that this type of toxic stress and separation anxiety can have a lifelong deleterious effect on mental health, and, by extension, the community or society in which that individual lives.

In no way does policy that intentionally takes children from their mothers and families meet the test of taking care of one another. It’s obscene.

Fair housing? This administration proposes an $8.8 billion cut to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development budget in fiscal year 2019, initiating the most radical attack on federal housing aid since the U.S. Housing Act became law in 1937. Does evicting millions of low-income families sound like caring for others?

Supporting infant health around the world? In an action to protect the $70 billion

call to his Republican colleagues who still belie the Mueller investigation. The Russians, it seems, have wiggled their way into all areas of American life—maybe even the NRA. When it comes to fossil fuels, the Russians depend heavily on energy revenue; of course they are sewing discord over climate change and fossil fuel production. Common sense should say “enough already”; consuming an Olympic-size swimming pool’s worth of oil every 15 seconds will destroy this planet.

David Deick Atascadero

A people’s president

The anti-Trump hatred and bombastic rhetoric is raging at dangerous levels, going so far as to incite murder by depicting a bloody beheading of our president. The lunatic liberal left as well as the nattering nabob neocons on the right share the blame for this despicable and disgusting behavior.

We the people, who detest this negative and America-destroying attitude, flocked to the polls and by a significant state-by-state majority elected the best president in recent U.S. history.

President Trump is not a Republican or Democrat president. He is a people’s president. We who chose him are satisfied, pleased, and even thrilled with his propeople, pro-America achievements.

We the people in America have always prevailed and will continue to prevail despite the animosity hurled at our duly elected leader. Freedom will march onward and leave the current anti-Trump mob as no more than a blip in the dustbin of history.

infant formula industry (i.e. corporate interests), the U.S. delegation to the World Health Assembly recently used strong-arm tactics to oppose a resolution to encourage breastfeeding. Decades of research, meanwhile, shows that mother’s milk is healthiest for children. Hmmm. Does this action reflect care for children, especially in vulnerable developing countries?

How about caring for safety and the environment? In April, Trump announced just one out of hundreds of actions that prioritizes business interests and rolls back environmental and safety protections.

He signed an executive order that ended regulations designed to prevent disastrous offshore oil spills like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, which killed 11 workers and discharged 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico over 87 days.

Cleanup efforts cost $62 billion.

Over and over on an almost daily basis, we have the opportunity to judge our own actions and those of our elected representatives at the local, state, and federal level using a standard of inquiry: Do these actions make the world better or worse? Do they reflect love and care, or do they prioritize the agendas of special interests?

New Times readers took to Facebook to share their thoughts about our July 19 Shredder column, “Fake News!?!”

Opinion

The Shredder

How dry I am P aso Robles has been hotter than two hamsters farting in a wool sock being played with by Satan’s jalapeño-covered, three-peckered, longhaired house cat, Smoky. Seriously!

But hey, the California Mid-State Fair only happens for 12 days in a row once a year, so what do you do? Sunscreen and hydrate! The first one’s easy, but if you’re thinking about bringing your eco-friendly insulated, reusable Hydro Flask to the fair, forget about it.

Q: “Can I bring in a water bottle?” asks the fair’s frequently asked questions webpage.

A: “Yes, you may bring up to two (2) unopened plastic water bottle(s); they are also available for sale from various vendors. There is one public water fountain on the grounds, located in the Main Quad,” intones the list of rules.

So instead of being environmentally responsible, not to mention thrifty (which sounds better than “cheap,” right?), I have to buy unopened water in single-use plastic bottles, which I’ll subsequently throw away, no doubt killing an endangered sea turtle somewhere down the line of said plastic’s 450-year period to degrade. Wow. Special.

And if I don’t feel like hauling around two increasingly warming plastic water bottles I bought at the grocery store, I can buy water from a vendor at the famously inexpensive (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Sigh.) Mid-

MASSAGE SCHOOL in SLO! California Holistic Institute School of Therapeutic Massage is a holistic center where training, growth and new careers begin.

State Fair? Wow, great.

Or I can find the sole public water fountain on the 40-acre fairground. Really, Mid-State Fair? Really? One free water dispenser in 1.742 million square feet?

More than 400,000 people attend the fair every year, sharing one bubbler? Sheesh!

Hold the presses! Though the fair’s website rules remain the same, maybe enough water complaints came in to do something. On July 24 on its Facebook page, the fair was touting a new “free hydration station” in “Good Ol Burger in Frontier Town.” That’s nice but what do we put the water in, one of the empty, BPA-tainted disposable water bottles we had to buy?

First, Mid-State Fair powers that be, you should try to eliminate plastic waste as much as possible! Sell refillable commemorative cups that people can buy or let people bring in their own reusable cups. And no straws! Require biodegradable or compostable utensils and plates from vendors. I’d love to know how many cubic yards of trash the fair generates for the landfill, but oddly that’s not one of the records they appear interested in tracking and publicizing.

Weird, right?

Seriously, Mid-State Fair, you should definitely have free hydration stations all over the fairgrounds where people can refill their own reusable water bottles

with filtered water. Come on!

We’re dying out here eating all this salty, deep-fried food!

“Come for the corndogs, stay for the heatstroke!” isn’t a great motto, dig me?

And speaking of rednecks, The Tribune reported that the SLO County History Center has come under fire for flying a rainbow pride flag? Yeah, apparently some people think displaying a flag that celebrates inclusivity and tolerance of the LGBTQ-plus community is overt political leftism.

Not only did the center celebrate Pride Week by flying a rainbow flag—which was stolen, by the way (insert eye roll)—it also partnered with the Central Coast Queer Archive Project, a local version of a nationwide movement to document and maintain a history of the LGBTQ-plus community, which has historically been ostracized, marginalized, ignored, or worse.

And some people are steamed about it.

News flash, haters! The History Center is there to preserve history whether you like that history or not! Your theft of the rainbow flag and criticism of the center’s activities are now part of its history too, and years from now, as someone gazes back in retrospect, they’ll no doubt say, “What the hell was wrong with this vocal minority in SLO County that complained about raising a pride flag and preserving LGBTQ-plus history? They sound like small-minded asshats.”

Gay dudes, lesbians, transgender folks, queers, nonconformists—they’re all part of our community! Their stories deserve a

place in the History Center, and frankly, I’d much rather that story be about how SLO County loved and welcomed its lessthan-mainstream neighbors rather than how we turned our backs on them.

This is the same city where some homophobic firebug torched a gay pride flag displayed in SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon’s front yard. No wonder this city is attracting fine and upstanding citizens like Bronson Harmon (no relation), a recent grad from Modesto who, according to the Trib, got his Cal Poly wrestling scholarship revoked after being caught on video yelling a homophobic slur while counter-protesting a Bring Families Together rally opposing Trump’s immigration policies. Now the Cal Poly Queer Student Union is petitioning to get Bronson kicked out of the school altogether.

Might be a good idea. While Poly’s made it clear that it doesn’t put any quotas on certain kinds of students, it does seem to suffer from an overabundance of privileged white male meatheads who can’t help but spend their time finding new ways to be racist, sexist, and generally shitty.

To be honest, I’ll be surprised if Bronson decides to come to Cal Poly after all.

Between his negative publicity, his lack of wrestling scholarship, and SLO Town’s decided shortage of rainbow pride flags left to vandalize, what’s the draw, eh? ∆

Classic Jackson Browne will play your favorites at Vina Robles

I

f he stays true to form, Jackson Browne’s Vina Robles Amphitheatre show this Wednesday, Aug. 1 (8 p.m.; all ages; $55 to $95 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com) will deliver a lot of his greatest hits. His last few shows have featured a very similar set list right down to the encore. If you’re going and want to be surprised, don’t read this!

If you’re on the fence and want to make sure he’ll play your favorites, read on.

At both his July 20 show at Outlaw Field in Boise, Idaho, and his July 22 show at McMenamins in Troutdale, Oregon, he played “Some Bridges,” “That Girl Could Sing,” “You Love the Thunder,” “The Dreamer,” “Lives in the Balance,” “Sky Blue and Black,” “Doctor My Eyes,” “These Days,” “Lawless Avenue,” “For a Dancer,” “Looking East,” “Your Bright Baby Blues,” “Rock Me on the Water,” “For Taking the Trouble,” “Call it a Loan,” “Red Neck Friend,” the Little Steven cover “I Am a Patriot,” “Never Stop,” the Warren Zevon cover “Lawyers, Gun and Money,” “In the Shape of a Heart” (he only played this one in Boise), “The Pretender,” and “Running on Empty.”

For his encore, he came back with the Eagles cover “Take It Easy” and “Our Lady of the Well,” and when he was called out for a second encore at Edgefield, he finished with “The Load Out/Stay.”

That’s a pretty solid show, and with a few minor variations, it’s the show he’s been playing all summer. He’s swapped in a few other songs, such as “Before the

LIVE MUSIC

Deluge” and “Fountain of Sorrow,” but the bottom line is this: If you’re a fan of Jackson Browne, he’s going to give you what you want next Wednesday in Paso!

He’ll be accompanied by longtime bandmates Bob Glaub (bass), Mauricio Lewak (drums), Val McCallum (guitar), Alethea Mills (vocals), Chavonne Stewart (vocals), Jeff Young (keyboards), and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Greg Leisz (guitar, lap steel, pedal steel).

Swamp funk!

Austin country-soul and swamp-funk act Shinyribs is coming to The Siren this Tuesday, July 31, thanks to Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $15 presale at ticketfly.com and Boo Boo’s or $20 at the door).

This band’s a hoot! Fronted by singerguitarist Kevin Russell (The Gourds), they mix country sounds with phat horns, backup singers, and R&B stylings.

Russell’s a ripping good guitarist and super fun singer. If you like Southern Culture on the Skids or Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, you’ll dig this! Still not sold? Go online and watch their cover of Bowie’s “Golden Years.” It’s magic!

Also at The Siren this week, check out Lazer Lloyd on Wednesday, Aug. 1 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $15.50 presale at ticketfly.com or Boo Boo Records).

Lloyd—an international touring artist and roots rocking Americana singersongwriter and virtuoso guitarist—can mix outlaw country and psychedelic rock or sing a heart-wrenching ballad with equal aplomb.

STARKEY from page 26

After playing The Siren, Lloyd and his band will co-headline the Mammoth Lakes Bluesapalooza the following day.

Don’t miss your chance to catch him in the intimate Siren! Local band, Blues Asylum, will back him up in Morro Bay.

Swoon!

Sixteen years ago, a new TV show took the country by storm. American Idol— inspired by the British show Pop Idol—set about discovering unsigned singers and letting viewers decide the winner via phones, Internet, and SMS text voting.

Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Taylor Hicks were a few of the show’s season winners. There was also a panel of judges that critiqued contestants’ vocal performances, including Paula Abdul, Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr., and others.

The show also introduced America to terrible performers like William Hung, and we developed our national love-hate relationship with Simon Cowell thanks to American Idol.

This Wednesday, Aug. 1, you’ll have a chance to feel the excitement of American Idol Live! 2018 when it comes to the Fremont Theater (9 p.m.; all ages; $35.25 to $67 at eventbrite.com).

I have no idea who the contestants are, the judges, or anything else, but boy band In Real Life will open the show. The five members of In Real Life—Brady Tutton, Chance Perez, Drew Ramos, Sergio Calderon, and Michael Conor—were the finalists from the reality TV competition Boy Band.

WINNERS In Real Life, the five winners of the reality TV show Boy Band, will open for American Idol Live! 2018 on Aug. 1 in the Fremont Theater.

A fair to remember

There are a few more days of musical entertainment at this year’s Mid-State Fair. On Thursday, July 26, see Blood, Sweat & Tears for free at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. on the Fort Frontier Stage; and in the Chumash Grandstand Arena, see two-time Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $51 to $156 at midstatefair.com) and opener Jon Pardi.

On Friday, July 27, see Gary Puckett & The Union for free on the Fort Frontier Stage at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.; and in the Chumash Grandstand Arena, enjoy Music & Wine with KC & The Sunshine Band (7 p.m.; all ages; $26 to $46).

On Saturday, July 28, Kris Kristofferson plays for free on the Fort Frontier Stage at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. I’m pretty excited about this one!

Kristofferson is an amazing dude. You might know him as a singer and actor, but in college he appeared in Sports Illustrated due to his rugby, football, and track and field prowess. He graduated summa cum laude in literature, earned a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, and rose to the rank of captain in the U.S. Army, where he was a helicopter pilot (he also completed Ranger School, which means he can kill you with his thumb). Oh yeah, he’s also written amazing songs such as “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down,” “Me and Bobby McGee,” and “Help Me Make it Through the Night.”

Finally, on Sunday, July 29, the fair wraps up with Saul El Jaguar playing

Strictly Starkey free on the Fort Frontier Stage at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.

Ignite Movement Studio in Morro Bay offers ‘Booty School’ class

hawna Marie wants women to be comfortable using what their mama gave them.

The owner of Ignite Movement Studio in Morro Bay, life coach, and singer for local band Captain Nasty is sending a wave of body positivity through San Luis Obispo County, one twerk and booty pop at a time.

In January, Shawna Marie launched Ignite Booty School, a six-week dance fitness program that culminates in a performance.

“For me it really got me connected with my body,” she said. “I grew up having body issues, not unlike most women.”

The 30-something-year-old grew up active and did gymnastics as a child and surfed while attending college in Hawaii.

But Shawna Marie didn’t get into singing and dance until her late 20s.

“When I decided to pursue singing it unlocked this creative energy that I didn’t even identify with,” she said. “Before I was like, ‘I’m not a creative person.’ Which is so silly because everyone is creative.”

Shawna Marie’s first dance love was Shakti Flow, a fluid, feminine

BUST A MOVE Shawna Marie, owner of Ignite Movement Studio in Morro Bay, leads a group of women through her dance fitness or Booty School Class.

combination of yoga, dance, and fitness.

Eventually that experience inspired her to create Booty School.

“I was really drawn to all the primal movements,” she said. “I liked all the booty shaking, all of the aggressive and sensual movements that come from focusing on the hips and core. When I started feeling myself and really expressing myself through movement it totally just connected me even more. I fell in love with my body, this beautiful instrument that we have to experience life with.”

Shawna Marie wants to help unleash that inner creativity within other women through Booty School. The first half of class focuses on fitness and toning the glutes, thighs, and core. The second half

is dedicated to choreography and learning dance techniques like twerking and booty popping. And yes, Booty School might just be the secret to getting a thicc behind.

“The booty sculpting is a key ingredient,” she said. “It’s important not just for the dance techniques we do, but just for posture and health.”

Shawna Marie said most of the class participants are women in their mid-30s, though a few girls in their late teens and women in their 50s round out the class as well. While attendees may start out feeling uncertain about dropping it like it’s hot while donning baggy clothes and avoiding the studio’s mirrors, Shawna Marie said that eventually an inner transformation leads to a visible difference.

“By the second or third class they’re coming in with a sexier outfit or they’re getting hot and just working out in their sports bra,” she said. “Women literally walk in taller than when they first started.”

The class is open to men as well, but Shawna Marie said that so far only one male participant has attended Booty School.

“Men are invited as long as nobody is being made uncomfortable and they just want to come and move,” Shawna Marie said.

In the past, Booty School classes have wrapped with performances at SLOQueerdos’ drag shows or at halftime at a local roller derby match. The current Booty School class will perform at a ’90s hip-hop dance party at The Siren in Morro Bay on Aug. 22. In the future, Shawna Marie hopes to have a dance troupe that performance bootylicious moves on the regular. Even if you didn’t grow up dancing, Shawna Marie still thinks Booty School is worth a shot.

“It’s not too late; the universe is there to help you out when you decide,” she said. Δ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley’s two pit bulls have mastered the butt wiggle. Contact her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

D

irector Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Shooter, The Magnificent Seven 2016) returns to helm this sequel written by Richard Wenk (The Mechanic 2011, The Expendables 2, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back) that’s based on the TV series by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim. Denzel Washington stars as vigilante Robert McCall, an unassuming man—and retired CIA black ops master—who metes out justice whenever he sees someone being exploited or oppressed. When he learns his old friend Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo) has been murdered, he’s determined to find out who did it and why, and bring them to account. (121 min.)

that makes him so appealing. The bulk of the film revolves around him searching for the killers of his friend Susan, but there’s also a side plot about Holocaust survivor Sam Rubinstein (Orson Bean) trying to get a stolen painting returned, a neighbor boy named Miles (Ashton Sanders) who’s in danger of being recruited into a gang, and another neighbor—Fatima (Sakina Jaffrey)—whose garden and building Glen McCall is a great character, a deeply are vandalized. Here’s where McCall’s righteous man with the skill set to hold character really shines and why he’s so bad guys accountable—a man with a sense interesting—he’s completely unassuming, of moral outrage.

No wonder Washington Even though the film’s been getting chose McCall and The Equalizer 2 as the panned by critics, The Equalizer 2 delivers first sequel of his career.

Glen His old partner Dave is a wildcard character. Like McCall, he’s a CIA operative, but as we get to know him, it’s clear that he and McCall have different moral codes. Being a trained killer is obviously ethically ambiguous. It comes down to how you use your training.

Money doesn’t drive McCall, who’s more interested in getting through his list of 100 must-read books than lining his pockets. There’s something monk-like about him and his lifestyle, almost as if he’s paying penance for his past. His interaction with Miles is especially complicated, and he tries to teach Miles what’s important but also let the kid make his own decisions. Does Miles want to be a drug dealer slinging crack on the corner or will he better himself and use his artistic talents even though they probably won’t lead to a lucrative career?

The film leaves open the possibility of yet another installment, and since the whole premise is based on a TV show and there’s never any shortage of bad guys out to exploit the vulnerable, more may be on the way. But the law of diminishing returns is already at play in this sequel.

If you’ve never seen Washington and Fuqua’s first collaboration, Training Day, definitely watch it. It’s Fuqua’s best film and one of Washington’s rare appearances as a bad guy. The Equalizer 2 doesn’t hold a candle to it, but as a summer action flick, this one’s better than most.

The new spy is quickly trained and sent into the field to stop German scientist Werner Heisenberg (Mark Strong II, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, The Guard) before he can build an atomic bomb for the Nazis.

This is a historical drama, so it’s a slow burn until it boils over when it comes to the plot, but that can’t be helped since this is a true story, after all. More fascinating than what actually happened is the character study of the extremely buttoned-up and secretive Berg, who attempts to reveal as little as he can about himself to the people in his life.

you said, while it may not be cinematic genius, this installment carries its own, especially in the slog of summer releases.

I’ll take watching this over Skyscraper any day. (No, I haven’t seen Skyscraper.

Maybe it’s great. Maybe not. I’m judging by the trailer that it isn’t my jam.) The action in The Equalizer 2 starts early and pumps throughout, but one thing I appreciate about this movie is the moments of quiet as well. We sit with McCall and get a sense for the mundane details of his life. He drives for Lyft, lives a sparse life—the guy has one drinking glass, for the love of Pete—and genuinely gives a damn about the people around him, few and far between as they are. My favorite piece of his complicated puzzle is his relationship and mentoring of Miles.

He certainly doesn’t want Miles to fall onto the easy path of dealing drugs, nor does he want him to follow in his bloody footprints. When he forcefully pulls Miles away from a group of thugs trying to groom him, he shows Miles what it really takes to kill a man and what that does to your life. While I didn’t see the details of the inevitable plot twist before it happened, it was predictable enough to be called unclever, but luckily the film had enough gusto to gloss over that in my overall opinion of it. I think this one’s totally worth an afternoon at the theater, or at the very least a watch when it makes it to video. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time follows him home after seeing Berg leave a gay bar one night, Berg beats the crap out of him in an alleyway and shortly after bursts into tears in private. He seems both affectionate toward and detached from his long-term girlfriend, Estelle (Sienna Miller).

Rudd as Berg successfully plays a man trying to blend in, who always manages to stick out.

As he’s aging out of baseball, Berg uses his connections to get a job with the Office of Strategic Services, working under former football player William Donnovan (Jeff Daniels). His unique skill set and frustration over desk work quickly gets Berg assigned to a field case: finding out if German scientist Heisenberg (Strong) is really on the cusp of building an atomic bomb for the Nazis or not. He gets teamed up with

military specialist Robert Furman (Guy Pearce, The Hurt Locker) and GermanJewish professor Samuel Goudsmit (Paul Giamatti, Sideways) and sent to Italy to confer with the Italian professor Eduardo Amaldi (Giancarlo Gianni, Quantum of Solace), who is still in correspondence with Heisenberg.

The film quickly delves into the moral dilemma presented to Berg: Is it better to kill one man to possibly save many? No one is entirely convinced of Heisenberg’s complicity with the Nazis or possible secret allegiance with the Allies either way. Rudd gives just enough away to show Berg’s inner struggle while still playing it close enough to the vest that the ending comes as shock, even if it’s a bit anti-climactic. (98 min.)

The dialogue can be lacking, they definitely steal material from other fantasy sources, and there is a lot of sex (but mostly before- and after-sex stuff, not full-on in the throes of climax HBO sex stuff). But for someone who’s sadly aged out of Hogwarts, it's fun to go along for the ride to Brakebills, and The Magicians also gets some points for tackling dark subjects like young children being sexually molested, rape, mental health, and child abandonment, something that other magical stories often gloss over or ignore completely.

While three seasons of The Magicians have been released since 2015, only two are streaming on Netflix. (But season three is available online on SyFy). Season four is expected to premiere in 2019, with season three becoming available on Netflix around the same time. (13, 43 to 52 min. episodes per season) Δ —Ryah Cooley

characters. She is in the process of planning a grand opening party for the remodeled Greek hotel her mother began, but of course, the party plans go slightly awry. Her mother’s friends Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski) visit for emotional support, and consistently provide the wittiest lines in the entire film.

Lily James plays the young version of Donna, and does so beautifully while a bit unrealistically. Few of Streep’s mannerisms and only traces of her energy are adopted by James, making it hard to fully believe her as a young Donna. Despite this slight disconnect, James still proves a charismatic and free-spirited character who is easy to root for. Watching her meet Sophie’s three potential dads is amusing and often more lighthearted than the presentday scenes.

Though the musical numbers are lively, they feel overproduced and a bit sanitized. The songs don’t fit the scenes as snugly as they did in the original, bringing up the question of how many storylines can (or should) be developed from the music of one 1970s Swedish pop group. There was something especially disappointing about reused songs from the first film. These recycled tracks were some of the best in the sequel, but still fell short of their original performances.

Unfortunately, Mama Mia! Here We Go Again! does not re-create the original electricity of the first film, but rather provides a subtle warning for yet another largely nostalgia-driven, profit-seeking sequel. However, just because the film is unable to fully recapture the original magic does not mean it misses all the marks.

Even while the shortcomings are easily recognizable, this musical film still offers a fun watch and a worthy trip down memory lane for viewers. If you are a fan of the first, I wouldn’t discourage you from attending a local screening sporting some denim and a boa. However, I also wouldn’t advise you to walk in expecting to fall in love all over again. (114 min.)

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? The Palm A newcomer to big productions, Boots Riley directs Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out, Atlanta) as Cassius Green, a black man who picks up a telemarketing job while trying to make ends meet in an alternative present-day Oakland. Green promptly learns that he can make exponentially more sales by using his “white voice” over the phone, which quickly helps him rise up in the company and discover harrowing truths about big business.

Green is a relatable character—tired with his life of perceived mediocrity, he struggles to find meaning and desires to move up in the world. In the beginning of his telemarketing career, he befriends a protest-hungry coworker Squeeze (Steven Yeun), who rallies the whole office together in an attempt to unionize.

However, once Green shows promise and is promoted to power caller, the telemarketing A-team that is almost stuff of legend, he stops fighting the power and starts to become it.

This isn’t a film for casual moviegoers who are just looking for a way to pass the time before dinner. It’s conceptual, whacky, and challenges the viewers’ perceptions of the world both inside and outside the screen. However, if you’re hungry for original satire and don’t mind sticking with a film through some disturbing turns, Sorry to Bother You is a worthy choice. (105 min.)

THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm In this truth-is-stranger-thanfiction documentary directed by Tim Wardle, in 1980, three 19-year-old strangers discover they’re identical triplets separated at birth. Their unlikely reunion leads to notoriety, but as they learn more about the circumstances of their separation, questions arise involving ethics and human nature.

Bobby Shafran heads off to community college and is surprised that everyone he meets greets him like an old friend, smiling, waving, asking him how his summer was. People keep calling him Eddy, and he soon discovers that he’s got a doppelganger. A friend of Eddy’s puts the two on the phone together, and they discover they’re both adopted and both have the same birthday. In short order, Bobby’s reunited with his brother, believing they were twins.

The feel-good story becomes even harder to believe after Bobby and Eddy’s story winds up in the news, and then a third brother, David, comes forward. The three are instant celebrities. They wind up on talk shows, in papers and magazines, and people marvel at how similar they are even though different families raised them. Their speech patterns, mannerisms, even their preferred cigarettes are eerily similar. Even more important, they’re delighted to reunite—long-lost brothers together again.

If that were the whole story, that’d be amazing and worthy of a documentary in and of itself, but as the brothers—and their respective parents—look deeper into the circumstances of their separation, things take a dark turn. Spoiler! The triplets were part of a larger experiment about nature versus nurture, an experiment that has serious ethical flaws.

The researchers and subjects were all Jewish, and the subjects all came from the same New York-based Jewish adoption agency. “Nazi shit” is how one of the brothers describes these so-called

Pick

experiments. There’s been a fair amount of research on the effects of adoption itself, and books like Primal Wound talk about some of the psychological ramification of being separated from a mother at an early age. As an adoptee myself, I’d much rather be placed with a family that wants a child than left with a mother that doesn’t, but I’m pretty sure these various separated twins would have rather been adopted together than placed in different homes.

To me, that’s the real tragedy of Three Identical Strangers. (96 min.)

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm, Stadium 10 Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom) helms this documentary biopic about beloved cardigan-clad children’s TV host Fred Rogers.

It’s easy to dismiss Fred Rogers as “just” a children’s TV host, and a sappy, low-budget one at that, but this documentary reveals just how deeply he cared about children; how hard he worked at helping children through topical issues such as Robert Kennedy’s assassination, divorce, and war; and how seriously he took his role as host of positive children’s programming as foil to what he saw as bad role modeling and encouragement of humanity’s baser instincts in other kids’ programs.

What makes the film even more poignant is its depiction of Rogers at his lowest. Looking at our culture today, it’s clear his message didn’t prevail. Still, his message was a worthy one and remains so today. Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is a wonderful celebration of a wonderful man who touched countless lives and exemplified a life well lived.

Sip and stay a while at Stax This Morro Bay wine hangout just got yummier

L

ove ’em or hate ’em—those three towering stacks represent more than just the remnants of Morro Bay’s old power plant. I mean, they’ve got a craft brewery and wine bar named for them, after all.

You can take your postcard view of Morro Rock and all the pesky tourists and seagulls that go with it. I’ll take a comfortable seat at Stax Wine Bar and Bistro, which offers up an unobstructed view of those hotly debated pillars.

Located on the unhurried north side of the Embarcadero, Stax feels removed, like an authentic locals hangout. That’s because it actually is.

Owner Giovanni DeGarimore, who also operates Giovanni’s Fish Market and Galley a few doors down, wanted to open up a casual wine shop and bar—a place where you can kick back for a spell and take a local bottle of tempranillo home with you.

Today, the walls are still lined with glorious red and white wine bottles, but there’s also a lot more going on with the food menu. Sure, you’ve always been able to grab a nice nosh at Stax, but now—thanks to a new creative force in the kitchen—you can also dig into sous vide filet mignon so tender you can cut it with a spoon.

Enter Kari Ziegler, former chef and proprietor of Arroyo Grande’s Comfort Market. Thanks to her, Stax Wine Bar has recently added “and Bistro” to its moniker.

ON THE HALF SHELL Oysters on the half shell, local wine, and a beachy view?

This is real life at Stax Wine Bar in Morro Bay. Owned by Giovanni DeGarimore of Giovanni’s Fish Market & Galley, Stax is able to offer up fresh seafood whenever a good catch is hauled in from the bay.

@flavorslo WINE BAR BUSTS OUT Stax Wine Bar and Bistro, located at 1099 Embarcadero in Morro Bay, has grown from a wine shop to a lounge to now a bustling bistro serving up meaty morsels, fresh seafood, and more.

You may remember Ziegler’s own former wine bar, Gather, also located in Arroyo Grande. The chef said that—before they ever worked together—she and DeGarimore were “wine bar cousins.”

“When he first opened Stax, it was a wine shop, but it quickly became a place to hang out; and I had the same thing happen at my place,” she said. “I thought I’d serve a few people and have a couple tables. The next thing I knew, everyone was coming for live music.”

It’s not a bad problem to have, and I’d argue that this is the natural progression of a good locals lounge.

As Stax’s popularity has grown over the past eight years, DeGarimore has continued to listen to the community.

Live music kicks off Thursdays and most weekends and the bistro hosts a happy hour each weekday from 3 to 6 p.m. with dollar oysters. Stax wine club members who join up for a curated selection of bottles four times a year get to enjoy happy hour all day. You can now find craft beer on tap as well.

In tandem with this progression, Ziegler has boosted the culinary offerings to take any regular night into date-night territory. She’s churning out charcuterie, crab cakes, salads, desserts, and a variety of crostini and panini.

Produce is often sourced from local farms, and you can taste the freshness in the peppery, SLO-grown arugula and nutty house-made pesto.

Get stacked

Stax Wine Bar is located at 1099 Embarcadero in Morro Bay. Hours are Sunday through Thursday from noon to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. For more information, go to staxwinebar.com.

CHEF BY THE SEA Kari Ziegler, former chef and proprietor of Arroyo Grande’s Comfort Market in Arroyo Grande, has combined forces with Stax Wine Bar and Bistro in Morro Bay. Try her heirloom caprese cherry tomato salad with house-made pesto (left) or a stacked panini for a fresh summer bite.

“We have a simple but really delicious menu, and I put my own twist on a few things,” the chef said, adding that the tender filet mignon crostini is bolstered by funky, French Saint Agur blue cheese, fragrant black truffle, earthy mushrooms, and that famous aforementioned pesto.

Also expect a juicy prawn cocktail, snackable pommes frites, panini sandwiches laden with prosciutto and fig spread, mushroom flatbread, bourbon glazed pork belly, fried Brussels sprouts, and crunchy greens topped with house-made Caesar dressing and white anchovies.

I can say from experience that the caprese salad with heirloom cherry tomatoes, tomato vinaigrette, marinated mozzarella, basil, and EVOO is a breath of summer deliciousness (also, that steak crostini is totally sharable, if you want it to be).

The local Grassy Bar oysters on the half shell served with lemon, horseradish, and house-made cocktail sauce are a Morro Bay classic. The locally farmed morsels are absolutely divine—but that’s not at all shocking.

Normally, a small little wine bar wouldn’t be able to get such small quantities of premium seafood. At Stax, I get a bag of oysters anytime I need, and I can get the best shrimp if I want. I’m just like a kid in a candy store.”

Although Ziegler appreciates fried seafood and its place on the Embarcadero, you won’t find any battered cod anywhere on the menu (you will, however, find lightly battered and fried squid, because, well, that’s just nonnegotiable).

You also won’t find octopus here, despite its trendiness. You might recall Fred, the 70-pound octopus hauled in by Morro Bay fishermen last May that was famously released back into the ocean by DeGarimore himself?

“The staff enjoyed having Fred around, and we all greeted him daily,” Ziegler said, adding that sustainability and respecting the ocean is important to the entire team. When you work this close to the sea, the lines tend to blur.

“I had never been a real seafood person because it was so hard to find sustainable, fresh options for my customers,” Ziegler said. “Now, it’s a bit different. I walked out one morning and the fishermen were shoveling in beautiful pink shrimp from Morro Bay, only available a few weeks a year.”

The chef got to work crafting fritters topped with the fabulous pink shrimp.

“It’s just so fun to play with what the ocean has to offer.” ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain is in love with Fred the octopus. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

H ayley’s P icks Park it at Peachy

A walk in the park doesn’t have to require actually going to the park, with all of its loud, stinky barbecues and wayward Wiffle balls. Instead, why not enjoy the park-like setting of Peachy Canyon Winery on Saturday, July 28, while doing something truly heartfelt for your fellow man? From 5 to 8 p.m., attend the first of three Wellness Kitchen S.O.U.L. Kitchen fundraisers buzzing with live music, wine, silent and live auctions, delicious food, and raffles.

S.O.U.L. stands for “Seasonal, Organic, Unrefined, and Local,” which supports local community growers (which is good for your soul, too). Bring lawn chairs, lay out a blanket on the grass, or join your friends at a picnic table. You’ll be served a light dinner prepared by volunteers of The Wellness Kitchen. Plus, you can start the evening off with a glass of Peachy Canyon wine, which—unless you’re super sneaky— is a big no-no at most public parks.

Donations and proceeds benefit the Pay it Forward meal program that provides nutritious food for those going through critical illness and financial hardship. The Wellness Kitchen and Resource Center is a nonprofit organization in Templeton whose mission is to provide nutritious food, culinary instruction, nutrition education, and support groups to those in need.

Dear Property Owner: This Notice is intended to inform you that the California Valley Community Services District (the “District”) will hold a public hearing regarding a proposed solid waste disposal rate increase (the “Proposed Rate Increase”) and placed on the San Luis Obispo County Tax Roll for customers of the District. The Proposed Rate Increase will be considered by the California Valley Community Services District Board at the date, time and location specified below. Consistent with the requirements of Section 6 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution and Government Code §53755, this Notice also provides you with the following information: The amount of the Proposed Rate Increase; The basis upon which the amount of the Proposed Rate Increases was calculated; and Notice of Public Hearing.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

A Public hearing for the Proposed Rate Increases will be held on: Date:

AUGUST 27, 2018

Time: 7:00 pm Place: California Valley CSD, 13080 Soda Lake Road, California Valley, CA 93453 At the public hearing the California Valley Community Services District Board of Directors will consider all public comment in support and in opposition of the Proposed Rate Increase and whether or not a Majority Protest exists pursuant to the California Constitution (below). If adopted, the Proposed Rate Increase would become effective: SEPTEMBER 1, 2018, TO BE PLACED ON THE SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY PROPERTY TAX ROLL PROPOSED RATE INCREASE AMOUNTS The following charts provide a summary of the Proposed Rate Increases to be considered by the California Valley CSD Board at the public hearing referenced above.

BASIS FOR THE PROPOSED RATE INCREASES The Proposed Rate Increases are necessary for the Garbage Service to continue to provide safe and reliable solid waste removal, transportation and disposal services to the citizens of California Valley CSD. The increases requested are due to increased operational costs. Several factors have contributed to these increased costs, including, but not limited to, the rising costs associated with the operation of the Garbage Service, increased costs associated with operation and fuel for vehicles, ongoing maintenance, increased labor costs, and increased costs associated with meeting more stringent State and Federal regulations.

ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO PROPOSED RATE INCREASE The District provides that revenue derived from rates should reasonably be expected to generate sufficient revenues to provide for Garbage compensation as calculated in accordance with the “City of San Luis Obispo Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates”. The Proposed Rate Increase Resolution, to be considered by the District Board of Directors on 7-13-2018, would authorize the District, without conducting a majority protest hearing, to adjust solid waste disposal rates annually based on findings: • That the requested increase is limited to the Garbage Service increased costs of providing services consistent with the City of San Luis Obispo’s Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates; and • Does not exceed the prior twelve (12) month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

PROTEST: Under Proposition 218, if you are the owner of record of a parcel or parcels directly liable for payment of the garbage bill, you may submit a written protest against the proposed changes presented in the notice.

Only one protest will be counted towards the majority protest per affected property. If written protests are filed by a majority of the affected owners, the proposed rate increase will not be imposed. Oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest.

Written protests regarding the proposed solid waste rate increase may be mailed to: CVCSD C/O SHIPSEY AND SEITZ INCORPORATED, ATTORNEY AT LAW 1066 PALM STREET SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93401 To be valid a protest must be in writing and received BEFORE the close of the public hearing on AUGUST 27, 2018.

If you have questions about the Proposed Rate Increase, please call the District at (805) 475-2211.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they

LegaL Notices have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: September 4, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.,Dept. 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1050 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE OF pETITION TO ADMINISTEr ESTATE OF: pETE gUZMAN CUELLAr AkA pETE g. CUELLAr AkA pETEr g. CUELLAr AkA pETE CUELLAr CASE NUMbEr: 18pr-0233

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: PETE GUZMAN CUELLAR aka PETE G. CUELLAR aka PETER G. CUELLAR aka PETE CUELLAR A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: Paul Cuellar in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo.

The Petition for Probate requests that Paul Cuellar be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Be extra polite and deferential.

Cultivate an exaggerated respect for the status quo. Spend an inordinate amount of time watching dumb TV shows while eating junk food. Make sure you’re exposed to as little natural light and fresh air as possible. JUST KIDDING! I lied! Ignore everything I just said! Here’s my real advice: Dare yourself to feel strong positive emotions. Tell secrets to animals and trees. Swim and dance and meditate naked.

Remember in detail the three best experiences you’ve ever had. Experiment with the way you kiss. Create a blessing that surprises you and everyone else. Sing new love songs.

Change something about yourself you don’t like. Ask yourself unexpected questions, then answer them with unruly truths that have medicinal effects.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Spanish word “delicadeza,” can have several meanings in English, including “delicacy” and “finesse.” The Portuguese word “delicadeza,” has those meanings, as well as others, including “tenderness,” “fineness,” “suavity,” “respect,” and “urbanity.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m making it your word of power for the next three weeks. You’re in a phase when you will thrive by expressing an abundance of these qualities. It might be fun to temporarily give yourself the nickname Delicadeza.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your past is not quite what it seems. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to find out why — and make the necessary adjustments. A good way to begin would be to burrow back into your old stories and unearth the half-truths buried there. It’s possible that your younger self wasn’t sufficiently wise to understand what was really happening all those months and years ago, and as a result distorted the meaning of the events. I suspect, too, that some of your memories aren’t actually your own, but rather other people’s versions of your history. You may not have time to write a new memoir right now, but it might be healing to spend a couple of hours drawing up a revised outline of your important turning points.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of the most famously obtuse booklength poems in the English language is Robert Browning’s Sordello, published in 1840. After studying it at length, Alfred Tennyson, who was Great Britain’s Poet Laureate from 1850 to 1892, confessed, “There were only two lines in it that I understood.” Personally, I did better than Tennyson, managing to decipher 18 lines. But I bet that if you read this dense, multi-layered text in the coming weeks, you would do better than me and Tennyson. That’s because you’ll be at the height of your cognitive acumen. Please note: I suggest you use your extra intelligence for more practical purposes than decoding obtuse texts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ready for your financial therapy session?

For your first assignment, make a list of the valuable qualities you have to offer the world, and write a short essay about why the world should abundantly reward you for them. Assignment #2: Visualize what it feels like when your valuable qualities are appreciated by people who matter to you. #3: Say this: “I am a rich resource that ethical, reliable allies want to enjoy.” #4: Say this: “My scruples can’t be bought for any amount of money. I may rent my soul, but I’ll never sell it outright.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As you wobble and stumble into the New World, you shouldn’t pretend you understand more than you actually do. In fact, I advise you to play up your innocence and freshness. Gleefully acknowledge you’ve got a lot to learn. Enjoy the liberating sensation of having nothing to prove. That’s not just the most humble way to proceed; it’ll be your smartest and most effective strategy. Even people who have been a bit skeptical of you before will be softened by your vulnerability. Opportunities will arise because of your willingness to be empty and open and raw.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Since 1358, the city of Paris has used the Latin motto, “Fluctuat nec mergitur,” which can be translated as, “She is tossed by the waves but does not sink.” I propose that we install those stirring words as your rallying cry for the next few weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens gives me confidence that even though you may encounter unruly weather, you will sail on unscathed. What might be the metaphorical equivalent of taking seasick pills?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Uninformed scientists scorn my oracles.

Reductionist journalists say I’m just another delusional fortuneteller. Materialist cynics accuse me of pandering to people’s superstition. But I reject those naive perspectives.

I define myself as a psychologically astute poet who works playfully to liberate my readers’ imaginations with inventive language, frisky stories, and unpredictable ideas. Take a cue from me, Scorpio, especially in the next four weeks.

Don’t allow others to circumscribe what you do or who you are. Claim the power to characterize yourself. Refuse to be squeezed into any categories, niches, or images—except those that squeeze you the way you like to be squeezed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.” So said Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I don’t have any judgment about whether her attitude was right or wrong, wise or ill-advised. How about you?

Whatever your philosophical position might be, I suggest that for the next four weeks you activate your inner Jane Austen and let that part of you shine —not just in relation to whom and what you love but also with everything that rouses your passionate interest. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due for some big, beautiful, radiant zeal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “There are truths I haven’t even told God,” confessed Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. “And not even myself. I am a secret under the lock of seven keys.” Are you harboring any riddles or codes or revelations that fit that description, Capricorn? Are there any sparks or seeds or gems that are so deeply concealed they’re almost lost? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to bring them up out their dark hiding places. If you’re not quite ready to show them to God, you should at least unveil them to yourself.

Their emergence could spawn a near-miracle or two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What are your goals for your top two alliances or friendships? By that I mean, what would you like to accomplish together? How do you want to influence and inspire each other? What effects do you want your relationships to have on the world? Now maybe you’ve never even considered the possibility of thinking this way.

Maybe you simply want to enjoy your bonds and see how they evolve rather than harnessing them for greater goals.

That’s fine. No pressure. But if you are interested in shaping your connections with a more focused sense of purpose, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In Janet Fitch’s novel, White Oleander, a character makes a list of “twenty-seven names for tears,” including “Heartdew. Griefhoney. Sadwater. Die tränen.

Eau de douleur. Los rios del corazón.” (The last three can be translated as “The Tears,” “Water of Pain,” and “The Rivers of the Heart.”) I invite you to emulate this playfully extravagant approach to the art of crying. The coming weeks will be en excellent time to celebrate and honor your sadness, as well as all the other rich emotions that provoke tears. You’ll be wise to feel profound gratitude for your capacity to feel so deeply. For best results, go in search of experiences and insights that will unleash the full cathartic power of weeping. Act as if empathy is a superpower. ∆
