There are some who say those corridors GET GHOSTED have spoken to them: a man stepping out of a Some people claim they’ve wall, a lady in a white dress covered in blood, seen and heard the nighttime muffled shrieks of a woman, and the victims of 1848’s mass the clomp of running footsteps.

County APCD, state parks headed to hearing over dust control violations
T
he SLO County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) is moving forward with plans to slap the California Department of Parks and Recreation with fines for violating dust mitigation regulations at the Ocean Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area. The issue will come before the APCD’s hearing board later this year, despite the report of a third party dust emissions expert, which concluded that pursuing the violations wouldn’t be an adequate solution to the years long backand-forth between the two entities over the issue of dust pollution at the dunes. “It is my opinion that the Notice of Violation is not an effective tool to hasten resolution of the ongoing wind erosion problem and disputes between the two parties, and therefore, should be withdrawn,” the expert, W.G. Nickling, wrote in his Oct. 10 report. The APCD initially notified state parks of the potential violations May 5, stating that the state entity failed to execute dust mitigation measures for the dunes’ 2017 season. Among the violations, APCD alleged that state parks only installed 20 of the 50 acres of wind fencing it was supposed to and removed a dust particulate monitoring station from the dunes’ Oso Flaco area in December 2016 without notifying the APCD of the decision. After the notice, state parks officials requested a third party review under a dispute resolution process laid out in an agreement between the two parties. Nickling was appointed as the “special master” for the case. Nickling heard arguments from both parties during a joint hearing in early September, and later toured the dunes before making his recommendation. In his report, Nickling wrote that there was “nothing to be gained” from fining state parks, noting that it would diminish the ability of the agency to rectify dust emission issues over the long term, and called on the two groups to work

VIOLATION CONFRONTATION California Department of Parks and Recreation and the SLO County APCD continue to clash over alleged violations of dust mitigation regulations at the Oceano Dunes.
together to resolve a long-standing lack of trust and communication. “The two groups should work together cooperatively, as opposed to antagonistically, which seems to have been the model over the past several years,” Nickling wrote. Noting that neither party was legally bound to follow the special master’s recommendations, the APCD said it was still going to pursue the violations. In written arguments, the APCD stated that while Nickling was an expert on the scientific subject of dust emissions, he was not an expert on the legal interpretation of the state’s dust emission laws. For APCD Executive Director Larry Allen, who is retiring at the end of the year, the APCD’s action is long overdue. “They’ve been in violation of our regulations since 2012, and we have not issued a violation up until this point,” Allen said. “Something like this definitely requires enforcement action by the APCD.” Mathew Fuzie, deputy director for state parks’ Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Division (OHMVD), told New Times that state parks agreed with Nickling’s recommendation and added that
he didn’t view disagreements between his department and the APCD as “personal.” “It’s really their decision what way they want to go,” he said. “I do think that, in order to solve this problem, it’s going to have to be a community-based solution.” Some had hoped that a five-year dust mitigation plan—approved with a few modifications by the California Coastal Commission on Sept. 14—might be a step toward that solution. Fuzie said that settling the dispute over the violations could impact the project’s timeline. “It could create some barriers,” Fuzie said. “But we are going to continue to work with the APCD and the [California Air Resources Board] to work toward solutions.” A hearing on the violations is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 13. The APCD’s hearings board is a group of local individuals selected by members of the APCD’s board of directors. On Oct. 23, the OHV advocacy group Friends of Oceano Dunes filed a lawsuit against the Coastal Commission over its approval of the five-year dust mitigation plan. ∆ —Chris McGuinness
Neighborhood coalition hits SLO and Avila Ranch with lawsuit
In the hearings leading to Avila Ranch’s approval, Borland and neighboring residents voiced their concerns about project impacts, especially with regard to traffic safety along Buckley Road, which will soon be extended to connect South Higuera Street with Highway 227 to accommodate the project. “We did everything we could, and we basically were ignored,” Borland said. “They left us no choice.” Joining Preserve the SLO Life on the lawsuit are the two homeowners’ associations for Los Verdes Park, a housing community with 178 units near the intersection of Los Osos Valley Road and South Higuera Street. “We want to keep our neighborhoods safe and livable,” said Sarah Flickinger, a resident of Los Verdes Park. “Growth should not come at the expense of compromised health and safety for existing neighborhoods.”
San Luis Obispo residents upset by SLO’s recent approval of Avila Ranch, a 720-home housing development near the county airport, have mobilized and filed a lawsuit, claiming the city failed to address several of the project’s environmental impacts. Three neighborhood groups joined to file the suit on Oct. 19, just before the 30-day window to challenge it closed following the City Council’s Sept. 19 approval. “I am not against affordable housing, and I am not trying to stop this project. Our motivation is safety,” said resident Kathy Borland, a leader of a new neighborhood organization called Preserve the SLO Life. “The roads—the infrastructure—is not being put in place to handle all this increased traffic.”

VIEWER DISCRETION
by Jayson Mellom
NEWS from page 4
The lawsuit challenges the city’s environmental impact report (EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and requests a court injunction. It claims the city’s EIR was “wholly deficient” and “inadequately” analyzed the impacts related to traffic, noise, water availability, water quality, flooding, sewer service, and the loss of prime agricultural land. SLO City Attorney Christine Dietrick disputed lawsuit’s claims, stating the EIR was “consistent with the requirements of CEQA.” “We are confident that the city thoroughly reviewed and required adequate and appropriate mitigation for identified environmental impacts,” Dietrick wrote in an email to New Times. —Peter Johnson
Atascadero PD disputes racism allegations
The Atascadero Police Department is denying allegations that one of its officers questioned and detained a Tulare County man because he was black, according to court documents. In October, the city of Atascadero filed its response to a July lawsuit levied against the department, denying “each and every” charge alleged by Visalia Resident Kyle Bell. According to his lawsuit, Bell had traveled to SLO County with his wife and two children on Oct. 21, 2016, to spend a day at the beach. On their way back home, Bell stopped in the Atascadero Police Department’s parking lot to stretch his legs and smoke a cigarette before continuing the drive back home. He was then approached by Atascadero Police Cpl. Rochelle Hanson, who allegedly told him “you look suspicious” and began to question him. According to the lawsuit, Bell is a 6-foot-4 black male with a “very dark” complexion. His wife is a white female. The lawsuit alleges that Hanson approached Bell’s wife and asked her, “Why are you here? Are you OK?” Hanson allowed Bell to go. He later filed a complaint with the department. Bell’s lawyer, Matthew Owdom, said Bell asked for an apology from the department but said the department refused. The lawsuit argues that Hanson violated Bell’s civil rights, detaining him “via coercion and a show of force” and searching his vehicle. “It’s a very troubling pattern,” Owdom told New Times. “The powers that be think they can do whatever they want.” Clayton U. Hall, the SLO-based attorney representing the police department, disputed that Hanson detained Bell or searched his vehicle, and pushed back against how Bell’s complaint characterized the interaction between Hanson and Bell. “We pay police officers to utilize their experience and training to investigate unusual situations, and that is what she was doing here,” Hall wrote in an email response to questions from New Times. Hall also indicated that footage from a body camera that Hanson wore during the interaction supported the department’s side of the story. “It clearly depicts that there was nothing improper or inappropriate concerning Cpl.
Hanson’s contact with Mr. Bell,” Hall wrote. Owdom, however, said he also obtained the footage of the incident and believed that it “clearly” supported his client’s claims. The case is scheduled for a status conference in November. —Chris McGuinness
Morro Bay council lets planning commissioner keep position
Morro Bay Mayor Jamie Iron’s call to discuss the removal of a “disruptive” planning commissioner fell short on Oct. 23. City Council members convened for a special meeting and instead voted 3-2 to let Richard Sadowski stay in his commission seat after an outburst he had at the Sept. 26 council meeting caused controversy among the city’s officials. “He brings passion, and passion is good. In my mind, the only infraction that occurred was a momentary lapse of controlled passion,” said City Councilmember Matt Makowetski. Irons opened the special meeting by reading the council’s pledge to follow practices of civility and civil discourse during all meetings. He added that Sadowski’s behavior at the Sept. 26 meeting failed to maintain that pledge. In September, Irons cut Sadowski off during a public comment on the city’s controversial $150-million wastewater treatment plant, interrupting Sadowski before his allotted three-minute time period was over. Irons asked him to step down, and instead Sadowski continued his comment, which caused the crowd to erupt and the police chief to interject. Irons clarified that at the beginning of that Sept. 26 meeting, he mentioned that public commenters might have a shorter allotted time than the normal three minutes because there was a large number of speaker slips. Although Irons said he mistakenly told Sadowski that his three minutes were up, he was merely responding to the two-minute timer that was set and not purposefully cutting him off. Fifteen public commenters spoke at the Oct. 23 meeting, including Sadowski
and his wife, Marla, asking the council to “give Sadowski a break.” Although the council agreed that Sadowski’s behavior was unnecessary, council members John Headding, Makowetski, and Marlys McPherson felt that his actions didn’t warrant his resignation. Councilmember Robert Davis said that he wanted to hear how Sadowski would conduct himself in the future, but Sadowski declined to comment. The council voted to warn Sadowski and ask that he practice civility in the future. After the meeting, Sadowski told New Times that he was truly touched by how many community members spoke on his behalf. He said he won’t change how active and vocal he is within the community because he loves Morro Bay and cares about its citizens. “I’ve been doing public speaking for a long time. If you see something wrong, you’ve got to call it out, and that’s what I’ve been doing for years,” he said. —Karen Garcia
Local groundwater agencies seek crucial state grants
San Luis Obispo County and other local agencies wrestling with depleted groundwater have their sights set on state grants that, if secured, could cut local groundwater management costs in half over the next few years. The Department of Water Resources (DWR) is divvying $86 million in Proposition 1 (the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014) funds to localities next year to help subsidize the crafting of longterm groundwater sustainability plans, required per state law by 2020. SLO County has up to six groundwater basins that require separate plans, and the state’s offering 50 percent cost sharing for up to $1 million per basin— with the exception of $1.5 million for the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin since it’s considered critically overdrafted. County Water Resources Department
Division Manager Courtney Howard told New Times the county is working alongside the city of Paso, Atascadero Mutual Water Company, and other local agencies to file grant applications for the respective basins by a Nov. 13 deadline. “I think we have a good chance [of receiving the grants] because if you do the math, just about every basin is covered with the money available,” Howard said. The grants could ease the tension surrounding a controversial county policy decision that allocated millions in general funds—$1.25 million per year— on groundwater management in the unincorporated basin areas. Writing groundwater sustainability plans requires technical consultants, staff resources, and board meetings to chart the course of each water basin’s plan. Locally, governing agencies were formed for each of the Paso Robles, Atascadero, Cuyama, Santa Maria Valley, and SLO Valley water basins. The county is going to request that DWR reduce the boundaries of the Los Osos Valley basin, with the hope that a sustainability plan won’t be required, since the bulk of that basin is under the management of a court adjudication. Even though last winter marked California’s highest rainfall total since 1998, local groundwater levels have yet to the recover, for the most part. According to recent well monitoring by DWR, water levels in Paso Robles are still more than 25 feet below what they were in 2011. Near Shandon, they’re a little better off at between 5 and 25 feet below levels in 2011. Only the water well levels in Los Osos have seen an increase of 25 feet or more over the past five years in the county. —Peter Johnson

Budget blunder SLO County makes $8 million error in financial forecast
S
an Luis Obispo County is facing some lean years ahead, already observing “notable signs of slowing” economic growth due to the impending Diablo Canyon power plant shutdown, according to a recent fiscal forecast. Despite the signs of trouble, on Oct. 10, county administrators told the SLO County Board of Supervisors that they’d have $3 million to $5 million available in surplus funds come 2018 to forward their priorities and agendas. But in reality, a financial crunch is hitting the county coffers a lot sooner than the administrators and supervisors realized. In creating the fiscal forecast for the general fund, county officials said they inadvertently forgot to include the expenses of about $8 million in recently approved employee raises, turning a projected surplus into a $3 million to $5 million deficit. “It was an unintentional omission caused by human error,” said Guy Savage, the county’s assistant chief administrative officer (CAO) in an email to New Times. “Now that the error was discovered, we are re-evaluating our forecast. We now project our expenses to be higher than what we had originally estimated.” Savage said the new forecast will be brought back to the board on Nov. 7 for discussion, and county staff and the Board of Supervisors will have to make a series of choices about how to cover the shortfall. “It is very disappointing. That is not a small error,” said 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, who was the lone
Peschong, and Lynn Compton took control of the board in 2017, their policies have been under scrutiny by liberal-leaning supervisors Bruce Gibson and Adam Hill. Supervisors Gibson and Hill pointed to the board’s recent decisions to increase spending in public safety (adding new sheriff’s deputies in North County), groundwater management (spending $1.25 million per year to comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act), road infrastructure (augmenting the maintenance program by $3.5 million), and capital projects (a $14 million animal shelter) as being ill advised. “It makes problems when you start hijacking the priorities and money,” Hill said. “We have to revisit these choices.” Hill said he thought the mistakes committed by the administrative office were consequences of board dysfunction. “I haven’t seen a mistake like this in the nine years I’ve been on the board, but we also haven’t seen a board like this,” he said. Supervisor Arnold expressed frustration with the staff’s mistake but said she was confident the budget could be configured to not disrupt the board majority’s policy agenda. “I’m concerned, but I do think there are other ways to find the savings,” Arnold told New Times. She pointed to solutions like pulling money from contingency funds or having staff vacancies absorb the costs. With respect to the groundwater management spending, Arnold gave no indication she was interested in pulling back that funding. “That is my precious thing,” she said.

dissenting vote when the board adopted several employee compensation increases on June 20. The new employee contracts omitted in the process included public safety units; the public services unit; trades, crafts, and services unit; unrepresented confidential employees; and the District Attorney’s unit, among others, according to Budget Director Emily Jackson. Savage, who has been serving as “acting CAO” since the county’s top administrative position went vacant in June, said the error wouldn’t likely have a noticeable impact on the current fiscal year or “specific projects or services.” But it will likely change the landscape of future spending decisions—which could set up more contentious debates among the Board of Supervisors about spending priorities during leaner times. Since a conservative-leaning board majority of supervisors Arnold, John
The county’s forecasting error hits as the administrative office enters its fifth month without an interim or permanent CAO. Savage has assumed that role, but was not promoted to interim status by the supervisors, despite many closed session board meetings discussing that position. The supervisors abandoned hiring or appointing an interim CAO, and now there is an open search for a permanent one. In the meantime, Savage said he’s doubling back through the budget process to ensure a similar miscalculation won’t repeat in the future. “We are very clearly looking at all of our processes leading up to the forecasting that makes sure this doesn’t happen again,” Savage said. ∆ Staff Writer Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

A kid again
T
wo years ago, Elijah Olivas was in a car accident that resulted in severe injuries to his right hand and an airlift to Stanford Hospital. Elijah endured more than 20 hours of surgery, which included the replantation of his hand. The injuries made Elijah lose movement in his hand, limiting his daily activities, like participating in his traveling wrestling club. “I felt sad because I didn’t get to wrestle anymore,” he said. Elijah’s dad, Jason, said that as a parent he could see that the injury had really discouraged his son. “It was hard to get him to do any type of activity because his hand had very little movement,” Jason said, “He couldn’t even bend his hand at the wrist, it was just so limited and it really discouraged him from a lot of things.” Jason said his son even had to learn how to write with his left hand as he was right-handed. Elijah is now 12 years old and is starting to get back into the normalcy of playing sports like basketball and football, sports he couldn’t play before, all thanks to the folks at San Luis Sports Therapy. San Luis Sports Therapy is a physical therapy clinic with offices in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. The clinic offers treatments and programs for orthopedic injuries, sports related
injuries, hand therapy, arthritis, and vestibular rehabilitation, to name a few. At the head of the clinic’s hand therapy department is Michael Smith, who also helped Elijah through hand therapy sessions. “Elijah is an inspirational tale of strength and determination,” Smith said. “His therapy is a long and ongoing process requiring multiple surgeries along the way during which he has never complained.” Smith said that he and a team of specialists have enjoyed working with and challenging Elijah with exercises to improve mobility in his hand. “We can’t wait to see what ability we can help him recover next, and we’ll all remember the experience of working with him long after our careers are over,” he said. What makes the clinic stand out from the rest is that it works closely with each individual patient, as each case is unique. “Our goal is to promote our patient’s ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. The clinic specializes in one-on-one patient care and

“I don’t think Elijah realizes it now but when he’s older, he’ll understand how much gratitude we owe the great people at San Luis Sports Therapy,” Jason said. Every time Elijah has a surgery, Jason said, Smith is there to make sure he knows how to proceed with Elijah’s therapy sessions to improve his recovery. Smith and the team at San Luis Sports Therapy are helping Elijah free of charge. For them, it was a way to give back to their community, to help a child regain mobility in his hand and get back to being a kid. Jason said his son has come a long way but he has the clinic to thank. “He’s more happy, more outgoing, and he’s able to go out and shoot basketballs or ride his bike again,” Jason said.

is committed to raising the standards of patient care and customer service in health care,” Smith said. The road to recovery isn’t over for Elijah, but with every session and surgery, he continues to gain movement in his hand. It’s the clinic’s commitment to Elijah’s recovery that his dad is thankful for.

Of greed and gore
SHEEP CHUTE Mission San Miguel remains much as it was during the Wild West, like this old chute where sheep were brought in to be shorn.
Did horrendous slayings trap the spirits of killers and their prey on the grounds of Mission San Miguel? BY GLEN STARKEY PHOTO BY GLEN STARKEY
Editor’s note: New Times contributor Anna Starkey helped research this reimagined story from various historical accounts—including James Pierson Beckwourth’s The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth, Myron Angel’s History of San Luis Obispo County, and Wally Ohles’ The Lands of Mission San Miguel, among others—many of which contradict one another.
S
ome say ghosts linger because they didn’t have a chance to finish their earthly business, they’re simply unaware they’re dead, or they were torn so violently out of their lives they can’t see the light and don’t know to cross over. Perhaps the latter explains the strange spectral sounds and sightings at Mission San Miguel where nearly 169 years ago, California recorded its first mass murder, where men, women, children, and even an unborn baby met their gruesome end at the blades of an axe, knife, and sword. Read on … if you dare.
The murders Sam Bernard shuffled through the door with an armload of wood, shutting the door behind him with his foot. He exchanged a knowing look with his native
companion, John, then dropped the wood by the cook fire and snatched the axe hidden within and swung it smartly at the back of William Reed’s head. Thunk! The axe sounded and felt like it was hitting a wet log. Bernard thought it would bite like chopping into a dry tree, but the axe recoiled and twisted in his hand, maybe because Reed was wearing a thick felt hat, so Bernard re-gripped and swung again as John drew a knife from his waistband and plunged it into Reed, whose face and neck ran red with blood and brain matter. As Reed fell, John continued to stab, slashing through Reed’s nose and cheek. It happened so unexpectedly that Reed never made so much as a yelp. Bernard, John, and their four companions looked grimly at each other, then Peter Raymond grinned wildly, drew his sword from its scabbard, mouthed the word “gold,” and led the men further into the rooms of the San Miguel Mission, where they surprised their victims. The murderers dispatched other residents equally brutally as they screamed and begged for mercy. There was no one but their fellow victims to hear their pleas in this desolate stretch of California along the El Camino Real trail. Raymond was an old hand at killing, having escaped from jail where he’d been locked away for slaying J.R.

Pfister at Murphy’s Camp. He needed Pfister’s gold more than Pfister did, and he needed Reed’s gold, too. Reed’s wife, Maria Antonia Vallejo, pregnant with her second child, laid her hand across her ripe belly, made the sign of the cross, and turned upward toward God as Raymond’s sword flew into her neck. In the low lamplight, her white dress turned black with blood. Her 4-year-old son looked bewildered, sat silent as his mother slumped to the floor, then he quietly began to cry. Joseph Peter Lynch, a deserter of Gen. Kearney’s Ford Leavenworth command, stabbed the boy through his torso, a job made easier by the wine filling Lynch’s belly. Bernard, John, Raymond, and Lynch had joined up with “the Peters,” Peter Remer and Peter Quin, as they rode south from the gold fields toward Soledad. The two Peters were deserters from the warship Warren and eager to get as far away as possible, but also penniless. Quin, a recent Irish immigrant, had joined the Warren as a last resort and quickly found he didn’t care for the sailor’s life or being ordered around by his “betters.” All six were desperate men, and as desperate men are wont to do, they gravitated toward one another, forming a murderous alliance. By the time they were done that cold night on Tuesday, Dec. 5, 1848, they would leave 10 dead—11 if you include Mrs. Reed’s unborn baby— including Mrs. Reed’s brother Jose Ramon Vallejo, her midwife Josefa Olivera, who was on hand for the impending birth, Josefa’s 15-year-old daughter and grandson, the negro cook, the native sheepherder, and his grandson, who as the men ransacked the rooms looking for valuables was found hiding among some boxes. The Indian boy begged for his life, but Bernard grabbed him by his ankles and smashed his head against one of the old church pillars. Then he used his axe to break the locked boxes and trunks in search of the treasure. “Where the hell is it,” Bernard yelled at his companions, who so far had only found some jewelry, a stash of pesos, some silver reales, but not the $200,000 in gold Reed had bragged about. You see, the men had arrived at Reed’s the day before, on Monday, Dec. 4, where they stopped to rest, eat, and drink Reed’s wine. They left the next day, traveling south, and as they rode they hatched their plan to return to Reed’s and take his gold. It was a lawless time. Mexico had won its independence from Spain 28 years earlier, and the Mexicans eventually drove out the Catholic padres, secularizing the missions. San Miguel was the last one to sell. Reed bought it from Pio Pico and the Mexican government for $250, in 1846, and made it into a bed and breakfast. Three days later, the U.S. invaded Mexico, winning victory on July 9, 1846, and taking California as a spoil of war. Reed, an Englishman, was allowed to retain control of the mission, and soon his investment began to pay off when James Marshall discovered gold in Sutter’s sawmill in Coloma, setting off the Gold Rush. Travelers regularly stopped for meals and rooms in the crumbling mission. California was then a military territory still two years from statehood. The six killers were welcomed that Monday night by the loquacious Reed, who agreed to buy gold Raymond and Lynch carried, unaware that they’d killed two miners and stolen their gold dust. Reed told the men he only accepted gold as payment for his accommodations, and that he had so much of it that John, the Indian boy Bernard traveled with, couldn’t lift it. Where was it now? They’d ransacked the various rooms to no avail. Had Reed buried it outside? Was it squirreled away in the rotting ruins of the mission, which had fallen into a sorry state of disrepair, save for the cluster of rooms Reed, his family, and their guests occupied. The men set about moving the bodies into an old carpenter’s shop, where they planned to set them alight, thus destroying evidence of their deed. They all were in that room, having brought eight of the 10 bodies inside, when they heard footsteps outside the door. They froze, hands on weapon hilts as they waited for the door to open, but instead they heard footsteps quietly retreating, then the outer door close, then the sound of a horse riding off. They threw lamp oil on the bodies, sparked a flame, and took off traveling south, worrying they might be discovered but believing the flames would consume the evidence of their crime.
The escape
“Maybe Reed’s business partner Petronilo Rios has the gold stored at his rancho,” Bernard yelled behind him to his gang as they rode south toward present-day Templeton where they would later sleep near a house at Rancho El Paso de Robles. “If we have to, we’ll kill

The grave is unmarked, but the ancient wall still stands. On Wednesday, Dec. 6, about “two leagues south” of Mission San Luis Obispo (a bit more than 5 miles), the group of murderers camped near what is now the turnoff to Avila Beach. John the Indian reportedly left the group there. Next, the group of now five killers went to Rancho Los Alamos and “obtained” four horses, traveled to near Las Cruces, sleeping that night on Thursday, Dec. 7, near Los Dos Pueblos. At this point, they began to relax assuming the evidence of the crime had been burned away. They passed Santa Barbara late the next evening on Friday, Dec. 8, camping about a mile from town. They were clearly no longer in a rush. On Saturday, Dec. 9, about 11 a.m., they stopped at Rancho Ortega—5 or 6 miles below Santa Barbara—bought something to eat, and didn’t leave until around 1 p.m. About a mile further along, the posse met them near what is now Summerland.
The apprehension
SCENE OF THE CRIME William Reed, the first to die, had his head staved in by an axe wielded by Sam Bernard, who hid it in a pile of firewood.
Rios too! Yah!” Bernard yelled, digging his heels in and spurring on his horse. Years later, Rios’ grandson Leon Gil claimed the men “camped at my grandfather’s place at Templeton, with the intention of killing him also, if necessary; in order to secure the gold which they had expected to get at Mr. Reed’s. But on account of there were so many Indians about, they were afraid to attempt it.” Rios wasn’t harmed, but after the men left, one of the many natives present walked over to their camp and found an earring, and showing it to Don Rios, discovered it was one Mrs. Reed was known to have worn regularly. It turned out the footsteps heard outside the carpenter’s workshop were those of James Pierson Beckwourth, an escaped slave, mountain man, and mail courier, who was running his route from William Dana’s Rancho at Nipomo to Monterey. Beckworth stopped as he regularly did at the Reed place, but discovering it quiet, made his way in stealthily, first discovering Reed’s bloodied body and then Mrs. Reed. Beckwourth later recounted, “I was about to enter another room, but I was arrested by some sudden thought, which urged me to search no further. It was an opportune admonition, for that very room contained the murderers of the family.” Beckwourth continued northward, where he delivered the mail and reported the murders to the military governor Col. Richard B. Mason. Meanwhile, while traveling south from the gold fields on Wednesday, Dec. 6, John M. Price, alcalde (a kind of mayor and justice of the peace) of San Luis Obispo, traveling with F.Z. Branch, also discovered the bodies. It turns out the fire had smoldered out, and all was as the killers left it—blood and gore throughout, rooms ransacked, Reed and his wife still lying where they were slain. Price and Branch, who would later have streets named after them for their bravery and good deeds, traveled to Rios’ rancho, where they learned of the group of six men and the recovered earring. On Thursday, Dec. 7, Price signed a document to designate Trifon Garcia to use whatever resources necessary to apprehend the criminals. A posse was formed and began pursuit. Meanwhile, Petronilo Rios helped bury his partner and the other victims in a mass grave, according to Eva C. Iversen, “Just outside the rear door of the sacristy; a little to the southwest and near the old first church wall.”
One of the killers was spotted in Reed’s “conspicuous, blue, brass-buttoned coat.” By this point, other citizens from Santa Barbara had joined the posse, having been able to report that the killers had indeed come through the area. With Cesario Latillade, vice-consul of Spain at Monterey since 1847, leading the charge, the posse—now 37-men-strong—descended on the killers, and a terrible gun battle ensued. Sam Bernard was shot and mortally wounded by Ramon Rodriguez, who was in turn killed by Bernard. They both died on Ortega Hill overlooking the beach. Pete Raymond jumped into the surf to escape but drowned in a hail of gunfire. Peter Quin was wounded and captured. Joseph Lynch and Peter Remer were also captured and subsequently confessed to their crimes, naturally placing most of the blame on the two perished members of their gang. The three survivors were sentenced by a “temporary court” to be hanged, but since California was a military territory of the U.S. and because there were questions

about the legitimacy of the so-called court, its findings were presented to Col. Mason in Monterey, who sent Lt. Edward O.C. Ord of the Third Artillery, along with nine soldiers, to Santa Barbara, and the three survivors were executed by firing squad on Thursday, Dec. 18, 1848, near the corner of De la Guerra and Chapala PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM streets. The three were purportedly buried in the Santa Barbara Cemetery, though some accounts say that’s unlikely due to BRAINED One of the killers’ victims, a young their criminal status. boy, was held by his ankles and smashed An inventory of the killers’ possessions against one of the mission’s pillars. included a cache of 262 silver pesos, seven silver reales, and 1 ounce of gold. Petronilo Rios sent word to Pablo de la Guerra to give the money to the widow of the posse member killed by Sam Bernard.
Epilogue
Cesario Latillade claimed one of the killer’s shotguns as his own as a trophy, but was ironically killed by it when he accidently shot himself in 1849. The San Miguel Mission was returned to the Catholic Church in 1859, though no padre occupied it again until 1878, which is when you start seeing gravestones in the cemetery. All told, more than 2,000 natives would die in service to the mission and are buried on the grounds. Years later, Mariano Soberanes of the Los Ojitos Rancho, claimed to see an old Indian working at another rancho and swore it was John, Sam Bernard’s Salinan Indian companion, but no one knows for sure. What became of Reed’s gold? Did the Catholic Church find it on the mission grounds? More importantly, is Mission San Miguel now haunted? Witnesses have reported a man stepping out of a wall in a Navy pea coat like the one worn by Reed. Some claim to have seen a woman in white covered in blood. Is it the ghost of Mrs. Reed? A little girl told her grandma she saw a little Indian boy who couldn’t talk and who had an “owie on his neck.” Then there are the reports of nighttime muffled screams of a young woman and the sounds of men running and rummaging for gold. Of course, most rational people don’t go in for that sort of thing. The truth of the murders is horror enough.

In a way, which I will explain, I am a poster child for the dysfunctional insurance system in the U.S. Twenty-five years ago, I was diagnosed with a hiatial hernia. My primary physician said it was no bigger than the tip of my little finger and advised me “not to mess with it.” When Blue Cross found out that I had “refused surgery,” they canceled my policy. At that point, with a pre-existing condition, I could not buy any reasonable insurance. I spent the next couple of decades paying cash for the episodic check-ups and using the emergency room if something serious came up. When the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was put into law, I applied for and was granted really great insurance through the Covered California program, and we started catching up with my health issues. First, it was a major surgery as my “tip of the finger” hernia had morphed into my entire stomach resting behind my lungs. Then, June 2016 brought a Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, and with the help of UCLA Oncology, my very good urologist, my paid out of pocket naturapath, and a radically altered diet, I am now in remission.

Here are just a few: • According to The Lancet, the U.S. pays $9,237 per year, per capita for its health care. • According to Deutsche Bank Global Markets Research Reports, the closest nation in the industrialized world pays just 44 percent of that figure annually, Australia. • The Kaiser Family Foundation says that the U.S. ranks 12th in life expectancy among the 12 most industrialized nations. We are dead last … ! • The New England Journal of Medicine states that the U.S. ranks 37th globally in the performance of their health care systems. We are ranked 39th in infant mortality, 43rd in adult female mortality, 42nd for male mortality, and 36th for overall life expectancy. This is not a great report card. I wonder what you are doing. I wonder what you hope to attain by repealing and replacing the system that has saved my life, as well as millions of others. Your efforts spanning seven years remind me of some classic literature, and I would invite you to climb down from your steeds, put down your lances, and stop jousting at windmills. It’s embarrassing for all of us, and it is eroding your party’s stature. The ACA is flawed, no doubt, and a logical response to that would be repair, not discard. Refine, improve, not repeal and start
from scratch. Your repeated attempts to void a facet of the American social fabric in the face of the majority of Americans being in favor of what you wish to repeal, seems comically adolescent. What are you doing? If it is that important to chalk up a win, change the name of the system so you can say you got rid of it. A pundit I read suggested the other day that we rename the ACA Ivanka Care. Cute, and I don’t care. Do what you need to do to get past this. I do wish that you will stop this theatrical crusade, and get down to crafting and supporting bills, agendas, mandates, laws, edicts, whatever those instruments are called, that truly help all Americans, legitimately lift all boats. In that light, I offer some suggestions: • The U.S. is headed toward a singlepayer universal health care system. Let’s take our balky, antiquated system into the modern world and encourage that shift. Per capita health care costs will plummet, more people will be insured, health levels will rise. Insurance companies, facing disintermediation, are heading down the same path as film developing labs or Sears. Lets make sure that this industry’s workers have a safety net. • Put controls on the cost of pharmaceuticals. Regulate the profits, and offset the industry’s income loss by a surge in government-funded research labs whose work is open sourced. Use the savings in drug costs to advance American university research and not for profit lab research. • Institute a medical industry
oversight committee system to adjudicate malpractice cases, appealable to the established court systems; reform how court costs might be assigned; and establish a system of responsibility that raises the bar on the legitimacy of a court case. I know that Tort Reform has a bitter taste for many people; malpractice insurance should not be the biggest section on a doctor’s overhead cost pie chart. Perhaps we can introduce disintermediation into this small facet of the legal industry. • Lastly, (for now) and certainly not of the least importance, institute a slow and steady shift from our current system of test- and procedure-based compensation for our doctors and clinics, to one of a health index, a performance-based system. A shift to a care/result culture from a consumer-based compensation system. We get improved health and reduced time and money outlays. I guess I’m asking you to abandon your fealty to your financial masters, and embrace what our Founding Fathers envisioned, a government that consists of elected citizens that represent and defend the rights of their constituents, their fellow citizens. A less lofty and perhaps more pragmatic approach might be to vote and enact legislation that truly reflects the wants and needs of the vast majority of U.S. citizens. We still vote, and your voters will remember your actions regarding their family’s health care, whatever those actions reveal. Please don’t abandon us. ∆ Allen Root from San Luis Obispo is all about health care reform that benefits the people.

The intersection between highways 41 and 46 needs help
Should the Morro Bay City Council remove Planning Commissioner Richard Sadowski?

VOTE AT WWW.NEWTIMESSLO.COM
I recently traveled on Highway 46 to the Central Valley, and every time I have been through there in the last few years, I notice that the intersection at 41 and 46 is still the same old stop sign and blinking red light. WTF? This intersection been involved in the deaths of many, many motorists over the years. Why hasn’t it been improved? It’s obviously not budget related, because I have seen plenty of other construction that was pretty much totally unnecessary, like paving the triangle in between on and off ramps, building a high speed train, etc. I have also seen the huge project for widening the 46 but for some stupid reason that project has left the most dangerous section of that road (the Y) untouched so far. How has such an obvious problem been ignored for so long? Ian Tanner San Luis Obispo

experiencing my own difficulties, I concur that there is a crisis. I have been looking for a place to live now that is affordable, on the Central Coast, for more than three years. I have been on Craigslist and had my fair share of mean roommates. Some would yell and bang on doors, or call me at work to say I left out a banana peel on the counter. This was unacceptable to me and so I sought out a “normal” roommate. But I have yet to find a situation worth getting back into. I was sleeping in my car at times, and at times at ECHO Homeless Shelter. As a current USC grad school student, I am wondering where to draw the line. I need a place to live to be in classes, and to successfully work at my current job. I have been on waiting

Respect the flag!
We recently attended Opera San Luis Obispo’s performance of Madama Butterfly and were enjoying it until the final scene. That’s when we were stunned—appalled, really—to see the grief-stricken character Cio-Cio San grab the American flag off its pole (stage right), throw it onto the floor, then drag it as she sang. There were audible gasps in the audience indicating there were many others among us deeply offended by such abuse of our flag, which is never to touch the ground. Worse, it shows Opera San Luis’ willingness to exploit and demean the tragedy of Cio-Cio San to make a gratuitous and contemporary political statement. After all, Cio-Cio was abandoned not by the U.S. government, but by a man who happened to be American. In the future, instead of financially supporting this opera group, we will direct donations to the Wounded Warrior Project. On a positive note, we invite readers to attend From Sea to Shining Sea, a Veterans Day concert presented by Coastal Voices Community Choir at 2 p.m. on Nov. 11 and 7 p.m. on Nov. 13 at St. Andrew church, 3945 S.

lists for apartments for some time. The shelter experience was a nightmare. All kinds of bodily processes were left unchecked by the people I was rooming with, and verbal abuse ensued. Nevertheless, I was forced into the situation when my prior roommate kicked me out for a candle exploding in my room while I was meditating. Sleeping in motels, and in the car—I’ve seen too much of the effects of this crisis in my own personal experience! I also met a lot of working-class individuals who could not find a place to live. I kept hearing how “expensive” the Central Coast is to live on, but why is this the case? Finally, I went to a City Council meeting to represent affordable housing for the working class in SLO County, or Paso Robles, specifically. I was met with a rather unimpressive proposal to reform the Hacienda Apartments, which is for the elderly. What does a working-class person do in this environment where there is no adequate housing? I have yet to find a place that is safe and permanent. The others, sleeping on the streets or in shelters, or moving away, are wondering the same thing. How long do we have to put up with no housing, and why isn’t the community doing something about it? Sondra Pummill Paso Robles

Reading the Oct. 12 article “Six sexual assaults reported to Cal Poly,” I was deeply disheartened with the words used, and the dismissive attitude conveyed, by SLOPD Sgt. Chad Pfarr when it comes to females reporting sexual assaults on campus. For a man in charge of the very investigations being reported, he certainly does not give off an air of compassion or competence, with his victim-blaming. If he is the best “man” for the job, then I think the chief of the San Luis Obispo Police Department needs to immediately begin officer training on the subject of sexual assault investigations, and sensitivity training in general. The blaming of alcohol and caustically telling the potential victims that they just “feel like” they were assaulted is absolutely unacceptable. Do better by your female community members Chief Cantrell, and start with Sgt. Pfarr. April Dury Arroyo Grande

little. Dignity Health French Hospital gave $25,000—they know how much cleanliness can help our community. Many other donors contributed for our homeless neighbors, who try so hard to eke out a living on the streets. Thanks to our amazing crew who came out of the woodwork to help—and they just keep on coming! In this crazy world of ours, it’s such a joy to see the happiness our guests experience in getting clean. When they come out of those showers in clean clothes, their smiles could light up the world! After they get a hair cut at our “pop-up care center” their faces glow! A snack to go, and they’re on their way. When someone is kind enough to offer Hope’s Village a lease on 5 acres in or near SLO, some of these same people will build their own tiny homes, where they will live in the safety and peace of a sustainable community village. We believe that the No. 1 cause of homelessness is the profound catastrophic loss of family. We will be that family. Becky Jorgeson San Luis Obispo

Rhetoric&Reason
BY AL FONZI
A smorgasbord of criticism
R
esponding to Kathy Riedmann and Bob Cuddy’s opinion pieces is like confronting a smorgasbord and not being sure which item to feast upon first. So, I’ll start with Mr. Cuddy’s assault upon our “Inglorious past” (Oct. 19). One of the hallmarks of the left is a desire to rewrite history. The former Soviet Union used tactics of ancient kings to obliterate opponents as do the Taliban, ISIS, and others: They simply eliminate history, destroying books, historical images, statues, or engravings. They erase images within photographs and then republish the photo absent the latest figure out of favor. Stalin was infamous for using this technique, which also served to let loyal Communist Party members know which historical figure, like Trotsky, no longer existed and should not be referenced. Kim Jong-Un of North Korea also uses such techniques; those misfortunate enough to not get the message in time end up in slave labor camps or face summary execution. We haven’t yet progressed that far but rest assured there are folks out there among the left who would savor the opportunity to put their conservative opponents 6 feet under. It’s much simpler than having to resort to reason, logic, or the facts of civil discourse. Mr. Cuddy defends the concept that Civil War statues should be removed,
BIG
wholesale, but I wonder if that also applies to the Confederate battlefield monuments, hundreds of them that mark significant episodes on the many Civil War battlefields managed by the National Park Service? Should we only have monuments of Union Army units identified on Civil War battlefields? I agree with Mr. Cuddy that those who fly the Confederate flag from vehicles, especially those who probably can’t even identify what decade the Civil War took place or name even one significant episode of that conflict, suffer from misplaced values. It’s notable that Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of Confederate forces recommended not having monuments erected of Southern leaders from that conflict. His wish was that the wounds of the nation be healed and commemorating leaders of the failed Confederacy would only serve to re-open those wounds. Most of the battle monuments in Southern communities were erected in the early 20th century by communities attempting to recognize aging Civil War veterans, the vast majority of whom never owned a slave. The veterans themselves had long since reconciled with their military opponents as photos of the last surviving veterans of the Battle of Gettysburg showed Confederate and Union veterans reconciled, a process that
took a full generation. Now we have a new generation opening long-healed wounds. I suspect these people are as ignorant of Civil War history as those who paste Confederate decals/battle flags on their cars. No good will come of this; the Civil War ended in 1865, and the Civil Rights movement completed the full legal emancipation of black America. It’s time we stop refighting wars already won both on the battlefield and in the hearts and minds of decent Americans. What is to be gained by renewing this conflict other than further dividing Americans along deep ideological faults? If a community wants to take down a Confederate monument, then so be it, but frankly, it’s none of my business as a Californian what the people of a South Carolina community wish to commemorate or not. As to Ms. Riedmann’s broadside (“With all due respect,” Oct. 19), first I will say that it is a matter of respect to the families of the fallen to wait until facts are in and their loved ones laid to rest. Perhaps not to her, but in my generation we didn’t rush to politicize personal tragedies. In terms of the Las Vegas massacre, motive remains a mystery with many facts not yet disclosed. However, laws or policy made in the heat of an emotional moment make bad laws, which often are of no effect whatsoever on the issue at
hand. In time more will be written. Ms. Reidmann also enthusiastically defends “Antifa.” Are you really that naive? I also get that Ms. Riedmann really, intensely dislikes the president. Stand in line; you have lots of company, and he makes it easy for his opponents. On policy he gets a “C minus.” Trump has missed many opportunities to pull people together. As for the Russian “scandals” she referred to: Let’s see, over a year of investigations and no evidence of a crime by the president or anyone else has yet to emerge. No matter, I’m sure the special prosecutor will manufacture whatever he needs to justify his “investigation.” In the meantime, what about the real crime that has emerged regarding the Clintons? In my opinion, there’s a $145 million “bribe” to the Clinton Foundation that needs to be addressed. It sure seems like it allowed a Russian company, Uranium One, to acquire control of 20 percent of American uranium while Hillary was Secretary of State. I forgot, Clinton is a Progressive Democrat and as such, (as in the case of Harvey Weinstein) all evidence of criminality is irrelevant.

The Shredder
Straws are the devil L et’s see now. Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant is closing in 2025 and taking with it its annual $27.75 million hot tax injection that benefits all of SLO County. Both the county and its cities have hundreds of millions of dollars in unfunded pension liabilities over the next 30 years (read “Pension tension,” Oct. 12). The city of San Luis Obispo alone owes $148.4 million. And, this week we learned that the county also made a $8 million “accounting error,” sending the county’s budget from a projected surplus to a definite deficit. Oopsy daisy! Yeah, for that last one, some bean counter apparently forgot to add the recently approved county employee pay increases onto the county budget. Hey, the employees—except for the Certified Financial Putz who missed the $8 million—probably deserve those raises. Considering the rancor and acrimony of the SLO County Board of Supervisors, staff morale’s got to be in the toilet. To illustrate, 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill jabbed, “I haven’t seen a mistake like this in the nine years I’ve been on the board, but we also haven’t seen a board like this.” Yeah, it’s definitely the conservative board members’ faults that Joey Number Cruncher forgot to add in his whopping 3 percent raise. Yeah, right. Hey look, I know numbers are boring. The point is SLO County and its various
municipalities are in big financial doodoo. Our elected officials have tough choices ahead. Just to make up for all the promised pensions, SLO Town will need to cut $8.9 million from its annual budget by 2020. That’s no small thing! The city’s annual budget is $142 million a year, so $8.9 million is about 6.3 percent. That’s, like, my entire Cal Valley weed budget! SLO’s elected officials “think” they can cut $7.5 million from the general fund (public safety, social services, etc.) and $1.4 million from enterprise funds (water, sewer, etc.), but what did they talk about at their last SLO City Council meeting for a freakin’ hour? Plastic straws and water bottles! Yeah, seriously. After a long discussion, they passed an ordinance to ban singleuse plastic water bottles from being sold on city property. But to make sure people don’t go thirsty, they budgeted $30,000 a year to install water bottle filling stations in the city. “What if someone doesn’t bring a water bottle?” public commenter Alison Edwards asked on the city website. “How will they get water? Are they supposed to just suffer and get heatstroke or dehydration? This is just wrong.” Yeah! People could die! Well, hold onto your artisanal FUJI Water® bottle, Lulumon® Wunder Under Hi-Rise Tight Full-On Luxtreme yoga pants, and Ugg® boots, because there’s more! The SLO City Council also voted to
force businesses that serve beverages to only hand out straws “on request.” What in the actual hell? What if I’m wearing lipstick and I forget to ask? And, has anyone ever tried to consume a 7-Eleven Slurpee without one of those wide straws with the little shovel on the end? It’s impossible! What if I forget to ask for a straw and I’m blocks away from 7-Eleven and I have my Air Heads Mango Chili Lite Slurpee® and I can’t get it in my mouth? I could get heatstroke or dehydration and die! Do you understand that? I could die! Despite what you think, I’m not an ogre. I love the environment; it’s where I off-road dirt bike and burn wood fires and sometimes poop when I’m at Pirate’s Cove. I think single-use anything (except condoms!) are wrong and should be banned, but we’re talking about optics here, people! At a time when the city is in huge financial trouble, does the council really need to spend an hour talking about how bad plastic is? Well, maybe. Online comments included the following: “Really? Why don’t you ban coffee lids,” and “HAHAHAHAH!!!! DO IT!!! This is perfect for SLO, a formerly nice place to live.” Yeah, ever since the libtards took over, SLO sucks big balls. Remember the good old days when you could smoke Virginia Slims Menthol Ultra-Lights® anywhere you wanted,
including restaurants and movie theaters? Remember when you could smoke them outside? So refreshing! Remember when you didn’t have to bring your own reuseable bags to the grocery store? Remember when you could graze bicyclists with your Nissan® Armada SUV if they didn’t hug the gutter like a tightrope walker? Now they’re widening bike lanes, trying to make me take public transportation, making me recycle in blue bins—it’s like I’m living in a fascist state! What about freedom! Meanwhile, the three conservative SLO County supervisors—1st District John Peschong, 4th District Lynn Compton, and 5th District Debbie Arnold—pulled off their hijacking of local recreational marijuana ordinances. Yep, after county staff spent countless hours crafting ordinances for the county; after all the discussion; after working with growers, law enforcement, and the public, the board majority using a straw poll (damn straws!!!!!) wiped out all that work and is doing its best to essentially shut down the industry in unincorporated areas of the county. Pssst! Hey SLO Town, allow brickand-mortar dispensaries in the city. That $8.9 million a year will be a breeze to make up. Don’t worry. We won’t light up in public. Promise! ∆ The Shredder drinks beer, not water. Send ideas and comments to shredder@ newtimesslo.com.

Inside the mind of Zelda
They say behind every great man, there’s a great woman, and that’s certainly true of author F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda. The Pewter Plough Playhouse in Cambria is showing The Last Flapper, which chronicles the life of Zelda based on her letters and stories, through Nov. 26. This one-woman play is the definitive portrait of Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald (played by Beth Marshall) as a glamorous, fun-loving, and tragic woman. Set in an insane asylum on the last day of Zelda’s life, the play unfolds as a hypnotic session. Zelda tells of her innocent rebellion as a Southern belle, of her destructive marriage, and of her mental disintegration. Tickets rage from $20 to $25. Visit pewterploughplayhouse.net for more information.
A family secret
The most dangerous place for a woman in American is in her own home. It’s a startling truth that’s laid bare in the documentary film Private Violence, which will be screening at the Palm Theatre in San Luis Obispo on Oct. 29 at 4:15 p.m. Private Violence examines the journey of Deanna, an Oklahoma cop whose estranged husband, Robbie, kidnapped and beat her for four days, but was shockingly never arrested. The film follows Deanna through the process of dealing with her ordeal and working to put Robbie in jail. In honor or October’s being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Women’s Shelter is hosting a screening and bringing filmmaker Kit Gruelle to SLO for a post-screening Q-and-A along with SLO Police Chief Deanna Cantrell. The Q-and-A portion will be moderated by the shelter’s executive director, Kirsten Rambo. Tickets are $20 each. ∆ —Ryah Cooley

Coming to America
Without Papers documents one Italian American family’s immigration journey
A
rtist Jim Dessicino’s grandmother, whose parents had immigrated to the U.S. from the Adriatic Coast of Italy, had always told him she didn’t speak Italian. So he was understandably confused when he moved into her old house in New Jersey in 2016 and found heaps of old family documents, including letters addressed to his grandmother written in Italian. Those letters were just the start of the spark of inspiration that led Dessicino to create the exhibit Without Papers, a series of sculptures, paintings, and drawings, currently on display at Cuesta College’s Harold J. Miossi Gallery. Dessicino ended up moving into his grandmother’s old house after he abruptly lost his studio in Philadelphia when it was sold to developers. For years, Dessicino fueled his art with politics and, in a way, by following his family history; the work has come full circle. “I wanted to do a show about the contemporary migrant crisis, and I end up in my grandma’s home,” Dessicino said. “It made this bridge between what was happening in the world and my life.” One of the family members Dessicino learned the most about was his great-grandfather, Antonio Privitera, who started a vineyard off the edge of Mt. Etna in Italy. It still exists today and is run by distant relatives. Dessicino’s piece, Baggage Claim, is inspired by immigrants, specifically African immigrants who work outside the Vatican in Rome. The piece is a beautiful bronze statue of a young man, looking hopeful and hesitant, with his arms full of luggage. From 2005 to 2010, Dessicino returned to his ancestors’ home country several times, living in Italy for temporary stretches here and there. He worked for a time as tour guide at the Vatican in Rome, where he held up a water bottle with one hand so his tour attendees could follow along. But it served another purpose as well. “There were so many pieces of art I wanted to talk about, I would talk myself hoarse,” he said.

That particular memory is immortalized “I’m a kid from New Jersey; I’m the least with the classical style statue Guida Abusiva; Italian thing in the world,” Dessicino said. “It’s Self Portrait as a Fountain which shows a nude a thing I want to identify with.” Dessicino holding a water bottle up in one had as Dessicino also knows that while he didn’t water gurgles out from its top. experience the same struggles that his Another piece, which the artist dubs “word ancestors or more recent immigrants have art,” chronicles the changes in the way experienced, it’s important to remember that Dessicino’s family name evolved in spelling most of us come from and pronunciation over somewhere that is the years.

The play feels magical with talk of quests and doing right by your enemies, yet also grounded in reality with all the actors wearing blue working-men’s jumpsuits. “I was interested in taking it to a place of timelessness and into a steel cage where there are more movement possibilities and it’s more intimate for the audience,” valle said. Above all, valle hopes audience members leave Man of La Mancha feeling a tad more optimistic than when the show started. “Every individual has a right to dream and a right to a life filled with hope, love, and respect,” valle said. “We need to hear that message now.” ∆ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley is daydreaming at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

M is for magic M. Ward brings his eclectic indie sound to the Fremont Theater
PORTLANDIA M. Ward, who lived in SLO Town in the ’90s, plays the Fremont Theater in support of his new album More Rain, on Oct. 27.
M
. Ward is without a doubt one of the most successful formerly local acts to make his way in the national music scene. Back in the mid’90s when he was a college student here, his trio Rodriguez with Kyle Field (Little Wings) and Mike Funk were the stars of the scene. Their 2000 album, Swing Like a Metronome, which was produced by Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, was a revvedup experimental mix of jazzy guitar, folk, neo-psychedelia, and lo-fi indie rock. Like many local performers of that era, Ward pulled up stakes and headed to Portland, which he still calls home. He went on to become a part of the super group Monsters of Folk, and to work with Zooey Deschanel as part of She & Him, as well as Norah Jones and Bright Eyes among others. Since his Rodriguez days, he’s recorded nine solo albums and five She & Him records. His 2012 album A Wasteland Companion climbed to 21 on the U.S. Album charts! With a rustic and smoky tenor and a fiercely independent approach to music and recording, he’s bent a number of genres to his will, aggregating alt-blues, alt-folk, and alt-country sounds into an atmospheric, moody amalgam. This Friday, Oct. 27, at the Fremont Theater, see Ward live (7 p.m.; all ages; $27.50 presale at ticketfly.com or $32 at the door). Ward communicated with New Times via email.
New Times: Hey Matt. Long time no see. Do you miss SLO Town? M. Ward: Yes. I miss the weather—the sun with the occasional deluge of rain and I miss being able to walk everywhere—I remember being able to skateboard to work at the record shop. Those days are gone. I remember spending hours at the private, dimly lit desks in the Cal Poly library reading James Joyce, thoroughly confused but feeling OK with it. NT: Why M. Ward and not Matt Ward or M.S. Ward?

Greene formed his band in 1997, but he continues to perform with the Alan Parsons Live Project, Mitch Kashmar, Franck Goldwasser, Shari Puorto, and other Southern California bands. Born in Santa Barbara, Greene was “inspired to pursue music as a career by his grandfather, the late Chico Alvarez, who played trumpet as a member of the Stan Kenton Band in the ’40s and ’50s,” according to his bio. “He received a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and then returned to Southern California to begin playing with blues and rock bands in the early ’90s.” This dude’s got a soulful guitar sound and a rich bluesy voice.

MUSIC THERAPY Pianist Chih-Long Hu joins Orchestra Novo on Oct. 29, for the Co-Creation Project II, which mixes music and art created by Alzheimer’s patients, at the Cuesta College CPAC.
Strictly Starkey Music heals
A while ago, Maestro Michael Nowak and Orchestra Novo presented a special performance that featured artwork by Grizzly Academy cadets that was created as the cadets listened to the same piece of music. Now Nowak is mounting the CoCreation Project II, The Music Inside, this time collaborating with Central Coast senior centers serving Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Faure’s “Pavane” was played for patients at three facilities, and the artwork they created will be projected onto a screen as the orchestra and special guest pianist Chih-Long Hu performs, on Sunday, Oct. 29, at the Cuesta College CPAC (3 p.m.; all ages; $40 at orchestranovo.com). The concert also includes Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor. Nowak decided this second collaboration should include dementia sufferers after he learned that Diana Sheridan, principal bassoonist for the SLO Symphony, had been afflicted. “She was such an active member of our music community, a wonderful musician and a super person,” Nowak recalled. He contacted the facility that had cared for Sheridan, Sydney Creek in SLO, which liked the idea and decided to participate, as did Ingleside in Atascadero and Casa Rosa in Arroyo Grande. “I presented the idea as a way of reaching people in a different way,” Nowak added. “With Alzheimer’s, how the music affects them can conjure up a creative skill set that remains on a connective basis.” STARKEY continued page 41

Nowak’s read the research on the connection between music and memory, and he couldn’t be more pleased with the artwork created. “We have around 50 pieces, some really remarkable, some absolutely stunning stuff,” Nowak gushed. “There are some very evocative abstract pieces that are off-thecharts cool and some basically very pretty pictures of flowers or trees. It’s amazing how music can unravel these spirits that have been covered up for a while.” Nowak hopes to continue his series, mentioning other underserved groups such as returning veterans, CMC inmates, and those with Down Syndrome or autism. “The truth is music is about the last thing to go in a human being, and it’s probably the first thing we develop, from the rhythm of our mother’s heartbeats and her singing to us,” Nowak said. “It’s quite remarkable that despite mental impairments, people who can’t communicate at all, when they hear music can suddenly start talking.”

oseph Kosinski (TRON: Legacy, Oblivion, the upcoming sequel Top Gun: Maverick) directs this true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, elite firefighters who risk everything to save their community from the raging Yarnell Hill Fire in June 2013. (133 min.) Glen Talk about putting viewers through an emotional ringer! Only the Brave plays more like a war film, where the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood—bonds forged through impossibly difficult and dangerous work—are tested through hardship, the strain of personal lives, and a deep need to succeed. When we first meet the Granite Mountain crew stationed outside Prescott, Arizona, they’re working a fire but designated as second tier firefighters. They stay in the back, dig fire lines, and clean up after the “Hotshots,” firefighters at the highest certification level who are allowed to engage the fire directly. Hotshots often helicopter into the danger. They’re considered the best of the best. The Granite Mountain crew is headed by Eric Marsh (Josh Brolin), a veteran firefighter who desperately wants his crew to reach Hotshot certification, but they would be the first municipal crew in the nation to receive that elite status, which traditionally goes to state or federal firefighting units. Part of the film’s tension is the crew’s deep commitment to becoming Hotshots, aided in part by Duane Steinbrink (Jeff Bridges), the fire chief pushing to secure the crew an evaluation. There’s also tension between their long and dangerous work hours and their significant others. The film especially delves into the relationship between Marsh and his horse trainer wife, Amanda (Jennifer Connelly), and their deeply held personal secrets are slowly revealed. Add in a new member of the Granite Mountain crew, a druggy burnout named Brendan McDonough (Miles Teller), who recently discovered he fathered a little girl and is looking for redemption, and it’s easy to see why the film is so rife with emotionally explosive moments. Some of the guys on the crew, especially Christopher MacKenzie (Taylor Kitsch), are afraid McDonough will endanger the group. After this setup, the film moves first to their evaluation and then to dramatic peak as they join the fight against the Yarnell Hill Fire. Anna Emotionally potent and

heartbreakingly based on an actual crew’s story, this movie left me drained in a satisfying, albeit exhausting, way. The pride in their work is seen on the men’s faces as they come out time and time again, filthy and bloodied, having done everything they can to keep their community from burning to the ground. Tying in compelling and relatable personal struggles, the men are not presented as infallible heroes, instead as husbands, fathers, and friends.

packs on their backs and huge changes in elevation. Their hard work pays off in a satisfying and realistic portrayal. You can tell the cast members truly admire their real-life counterparts. As you said, heroes are not flawless, and the balance of a dangerous and time-consuming job and a happy home life is not always easy. After some close calls and long periods away from his young daughter, Brendan breaks the news to Marsh that this fire season may well be his last. Marsh is less than impressed with his desire for a safer line of work. Instead he is furious about the time and training that will be lost. I’m impressed with filmmaker Kosinski—while the story was an emotional journey, he kept it from feeling manufactured, and the slow build of characters and storyline had me totally invested. Way to rip my heart out, Joseph! It may not be a feel-good film, but it’s still an impressive one. Between solid performances all around and some really stunning visuals, this film brings the true story of the people working the front lines.

Years prior, Quan watched his wife and two other daughters get killed in the fog of war. He cherishes his remaining daughter, but then she’s suddenly killed in a roadside bombing in London. An Irish group called the “Authentic IRA [Irish Republican Army]” takes credit for the attack. Quan, beside himself with grief and rage, makes it his mission to track down those responsible.

Hennessy, an insulated, pompous politician, is somewhat caught between those two lives, and, following the bombing, soon realizes that the terrorist attack may have been abetted by his own office. Determined to get revenge for his daughter’s death and not taking “no” as an answer, Quan bullishly advances up the political ladder to finally reach Hennessy.

115 painters working in Van Gogh’s style painted each of the film’s 65,000 individual frames. The results are a spectacular and mesmerizing achievement! This film is a glory to behold, with paintings coming to life before your eyes. The story—written by the co-directors and Jacek Dehnel—takes place a couple years after Van Gogh’s death. When an undelivered letter is discovered from Vincent Van Gogh to his brother Theo, Vincent’s friend and frequent subject Postman Roulin (Chris O’Dowd) enlists his son Armand (Douglas Booth) to carry the letter to Paris and search for Theo, since the forwarded letter had already been returned “undeliverable.” Armand sets out on the train, and soon his task turns into a mystery story as he tries to find Theo, and barring him, his widow or someone else who should appropriately receive what was perhaps Van Gogh’s last epistle. The film is certainly not the definitive version or Van Gogh’s death—it raises questions but doesn’t offer certain answers, just more conjecture—but it’s entertaining, poignant, and visually arresting.

The series is interesting because in addition to the serial killers, it examines the blowback from the FBI, depicted as a stale organization uninterested in change. Things heat up as Ford, going a little mad with his new psychological insights, begins crossing ethical lines during interviews to draw out the killers’ unguarded responses. We also dig into the personal lives of the three principal characters and how their morbid careers take a toll on their significant others. Season 1 recently ended, setting up season 2 by introducing BTK Killer Dennis Rader (Sonny Valicenti). The series also boasts some high-powered directors such as David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, Gone Girl), who directed four of the first 10 episodes. The killers interviewed are horrible men, men undeserving of being remembered and celebrated, but like Ford, we can’t look away from them. They’re charismatic and, more alluringly, completely free of societal constraints. Remorseless, conscienceless, and wholly lacking in empathy, these men should be relegated to the ashbin of history, but for some sick, twisted reason, culturally we can’t let them go. That says something about the American zeitgeist, doesn’t it? (10, 34- to 60-minute episodes) Δ —Glen Starkey

MOVIES from page 46 But the film’s muddy, chaotic story structure leaves much to be desired. Based on Felt’s 2005 memoir, director (and journalist) Peter Landesman attempts to unravel the 1974 Watergate investigation from Felt’s, and the FBI’s, perspective, providing the context for why Felt became a confidential informant for The Washington Post. It’s a great idea for a screenplay. The movie-viewing public is well familiarized with the journalistic side of Watergate through All the President’s Men, but portrayals of Felt, the mysterious, highlevel leaker who made that reporting possible, are scarce. Mark Felt picks up in 1972, the year the FBI’s founder and director J. Edgar Hoover died. Felt (Liam Neeson), the associate director of the FBI at the time, is flummoxed when President Nixon decides to appoint an outsider
and political ally, Patrick Gray (Marton Csokas), as its new director. As a 30-year FBI veteran with resolute deference for the agency’s integrity and autonomy, Felt is disturbed and slighted by the choice and is even further dismayed when Gray and the White House start coordinating to quash the FBI Watergate burglary investigation in 1974 and protect Nixon. In response, Felt begins to meet confidentially with news reporters. The problem with how this plays out is Landesman tries to accomplish too many things at once, resulting in a confusing story line, a lack of detail, many unanswered questions, and a general slog of an experience. What Mark Felt does do well is realistically portray the dramatic tension between a corrupt federal administration hell-bent on covering its ass and an unwaveringly independent investigator who “knows too much” (sound familiar and current?). It also provides interesting insight into Felt’s personal life. PHOTO COURTESY OF A24 FILMS

We learn about Felt’s struggle to locate his daughter (Maika Monroe), who had run away from home, and the struggles of his wife, Audrey (Diane Lane), who ultimately committed suicide. Neeson delivers a solid, entertaining performance as Felt. But he’s let down by those in charge of the movie’s nuts and bolts. The pulse-pounding music, overthe-top dramatic exchanges, and chaos of the plot progression just add clutter and take away from what should be an excellent biopic. (103 minutes) —Peter Johnson

THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US
What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy, Bay The Mountain Between Us is a wonderful romantic-adventure film based on the novel by Charles Martin. Beautifully directed by Hany Abu-Assad, the entire plot is based on a growing romance. Alex Martin (Kate Winslet), a travelling photojournalist, unexpectedly meets Dr. Ben Bass (Idris Elba) at an airport after both of their flights get cancelled. The pair wind up together under tragic circumstances after their attempt to fly, regardless of weather advisories, lands them in a terrible plane crash that leaves them stranded deep in the snow-stormed wilderness. The story begins in wintery late December, with Alex desperately trying to get a flight to New York to make it back in time for her wedding. The terrible weather in Idaho leaves her with no other option but to locate a private hangar in the hopes that a pilot will be willing to fly her anywhere closer to home. During her time at the airport, she notices a friendly stranger, Ben, who is also in the same predicament and must get back to Baltimore for a very important surgery he has to perform. Alex meets a friendly pilot named Walter (Beau Bridges), who offers to help charter them to Denver for $800, but must hurry in order to get them there before
Pick
the storm hits so they can catch their connecting flights home. Ben decides to join Alex on the plane with Beau, and the three take off alongside Walter’s furry companion, a yellow lab that remains nameless throughout the film, but ends up being everyone’s favorite character. Once they take off, flying over snow-capped mountains, Walter begins to stutter while speaking and eventually is unable to speak at all. Ben quickly realizes that Walter is having a stroke. The plane goes down violently and Ben is the first to wake up after the crash. The only survivors are Ben, Alex, and the dog. Ben buries Walter and wraps Alex’s wounded leg while she is still unconscious. A few days go by and Alex finally wakes up, only to find out that they are all stranded on a mountainside with little food and quickly realizes that no one actually knows that they are missing— Walter never filed a flight plan before takeoff. A stubborn Ben insists that they stay inside the plane wreckage for shelter and
wait for rescuers to come, but Alex firmly believes that they must travel for help or they will never make it. After a few more days go by, things intensify between Alex and Ben. The strangers begin to realize that they need one another in order to survive, but can’t seem to agree on much. Once they break into their first fight, a frustrated and fed-up Alex storms off with the dog, leaving Ben behind. He eventually goes after her, but because of Alex’s leg injury there is no turning back. The two have no choice but to keep moving forward. Alex finally comes to know that she really does need Ben’s help and cannot make it alone. Weeks go by and while the two are figuring out how to survive, they stumble upon an abandoned cabin as they are running out of food and Alex’s leg injury isn’t getting any better. As Alex and Ben grow fonder of one another, they must figure out if they’re going to make it out alive and whether they truly do love one another. (103 min). —Rachelle Ramirez

THE SNOWMAN What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Streaming Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Park, Galaxy From director Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) comes this adaptation Jo Nesbo’s crime novel The Snowman, the seventh book in his Harry Hole series (although this is the first time we’ve seen the character on the big screen). We follow Detective Hole (Michael Fassbender) as he investigates the disappearance of a woman on the first snow of winter. He discovers the calling card of an elusive serial killer at the woman’s house—a snowman, of course. With the help of a new recruit (Rebecca Ferguson), Hole must connect decades-old cold cases to the new one to find out what brought the killer out of hibernation and what their next move will be before it’s too late. The real mystery of The Snowman isn’t “Who did it?” It’s “How did this happen?” I had already heard the negative buzz surrounding this film before seeing it, which was surprising given the amount of talent involved (both in front of and behind the camera). I knew going in that Martin Scorsese had a producing credit, but I was even more baffled when I saw Alfredson’s name in the opening titles. Alfredson’s Let the Right One In and The Snowman have two big things in common— a lot of snow and a lot of bloodshed (although it’s caused by a vampire in the former). Both films are also adaptations of best-selling novels. Since I haven’t read either book, I cannot praise or blame the source material while comparing the two. Whether Let the Right One In is based on a better novel or not, its screenplay is inarguably stronger than The Snowman’s. Although Fassbender is convincing as a hardened, veteran detective, it’s difficult to care about his character when his journey is constantly interrupted by unconvincing and unnecessarily complex red herrings and lengthy flashbacks of supporting characters that could have been thrown out completely. Even so, I believe Alfredson approached the script he was given in a graceful way. Despite a muddled story, he manages to capture a unique down-to-earth
atmosphere, rare when compared to most crime thrillers nowadays. Alfredson could have played it safe with David Fincheresque stylization, but took a risk instead with a more matter-of-fact approach. Unfortunately, the risk didn’t pay off this outing. The Snowman is frigid, but it isn’t chilling. (119 min.) —Caleb Wiseblood

TAKE EVERY WAVE: THE LIFE OF LAIRD HAMILTON What’s it rated? NR What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? The Palm (Last showing on Oct. 26) If you surf, are a fan of surfing, or have even the vaguest awareness of the sport then you’ve likely heard of the iconic American surfer Laird Hamilton, who transformed surfing by going after unimaginably huge waves and popularizing tow-in surfing and a surf board with a propeller fin underneath that literally lifts the board off the water. Hamilton is exceptional at what he does, but it’s his backstory and personal motivations that make the documentary Take Every Wave: The Life of Laird Hamilton a truly compelling film. Similar to successful men like Barack Obama and Steve Jobs, Hamilton was raised by a young, single mom. His dad left when she was pregnant and so Hamilton’s mom took off to Hawaii in search of a simpler life. This is where Hamilton became engulfed in surf culture, even meeting his future stepdad and surfer Bill Hamilton
Pick
while body surfing as a young child. The film toggles back and forth between interviews with Laird, family members, surf buddies, and editors from Surfer magazine as well as footage of the giant Laird surfing big waves. There’s also a lot of period footage to set the scene for what Hawaii was like when Laird was growing up. There’s probably a little too much of that for my taste, but it is interesting to see how much less populated Hawaii used to be. While Hamilton is undeniably talented and ambitious (At 50-something he’s still going strong in his sport), he doesn’t seem to always have a lot of empathy for others if it gets in the way of his surfing goals. In one scene, we see his friends (some former) talk about Laird getting big and cutting them out of their production company that made videos about strapped-in surfing. When going after a particularly epic wave goes south real fast, Hamilton and his tow-in driver and friend are dragged under several times. When they finally resurface, it’s revealed that his friend is bleeding profusely and may die. While (spoiler) Hamilton manages to get his friend to safety and into the hands of medical professionals, he doesn’t ride along with him to the hospital, opting instead to head back into the water to conquer the wave. It’s that kind of single-mindedness that’s likely gotten the famous surfer to where he is today, but it left me feeling a tad dumbstruck and sad. But then there’s Hamilton being a great husband to his wife, Olympic volleyball player Gabrielle Reece, and helping one of his kids with her homework until every assignment is done. Hamilton is a complex individual. He admits that he could have done some things differently. But in the same breath, he also says that he might not do anything differently if it means he wouldn’t get to live the life he has today. If nothing else, Take Every Wave: The Life of Laird Hamilton is a refreshingly honest look into the making and mind of one of the greatest American big wave surfers. (118 min.) —Ryah Cooley

VICTORIA AND ABDUL What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? The Palm, Fair Oaks If you like movies with happy endings and no loose ends, then Victoria and Abdul is not the film for you. However, if you want to see a slice of life from a once lost part of history that’s filled with charm and subtle humor, then you will adore this movie. “Mostly” based on true events, Victoria and Abdul focuses on the relationship between Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) and Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal). Their story begins in the late 1880s, while Britain ruled India, and Abdul, a low class Indian man, is hired to present Victoria with a ceremonial coin. Victoria takes a liking to him and requests him to be her personal servant, then later promotes him to Munshi—a previously non-existent role in the palace, which involved teaching Victoria about Indian language, culture, and religion. The other members of the royal household are scandalized by the entire situation and persistently try to convince Victoria to send Abdul back to India. It’s hard to articulate what exactly makes this movie so delightful. There’s
Pick
just something very pure and very human about the way the titular characters have such fun together, completely ignoring all the reasons their friendship supposedly shouldn’t blossom. Abdul’s endearingly dorky sense of humor also plays well alongside the more deadpan, disgruntled attitude of his other friend and fellow Indian, Mohammed (Adeel Akhtar). Even when dealing with racism or classism from the antagonist characters—for most of the film such moments are played for laughs—making the antagonists appear more foolish than threatening. For those who care about big names, Victoria and Abdul also has a pretty stunning cast. In addition to Dench as Victoria, it also features Michael Gambon as the prime minister and Eddie Izzard as Victoria’s son. However, the lesser-known actors shine just as much, especially Akhtar, who steals nearly every scene he’s in. The only thing that really bothered me about this movie was the complete lack of resolutions. As the story progresses, the film’s tone gradually gets more and more serious, but pretty much all of the problems that arise end up getting pushed aside instead of resolved. This is forgivable considering that the movie is based on true events and it’s unlikely that any of those problems were resolved in real life either, but it can still be frustrating for a viewer. Though you’ll definitely laugh for most of the film, you’ll probably leave the theater feeling a bit sad. All in all, Victoria and Abdul is worth seeing. It’s not your typical anti-prejudice movie where good triumphs and all is overcome, but in this case the journey matters more than the destination.

Reconnecting in Venice Jetting down to LA for a weekend to hang with my sister was well worth it
I
’m cruising down Venice Boulevard on a bike in 80-degree weather with not a cloud in the sky. My sister, Lisa, is in front leading the way, and her boyfriend, John, is bringing up the rear. We’re heading west to Venice Beach, and pretty soon I can smell the salty air and hear the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk—the street musicians covering Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix songs through small, muffled amplifiers; the shop venders selling colorful paintings, tapestries, T-shirts, and doodads that scream quintessential Los Angeles; and the thousands of beachgoers of all kinds, colors, and shapes traversing the strip. Upon arrival, we jump onto the beachside bike path and maneuver our way to the beach area we want to go to, passing a skate park with dozens of gawking spectators surrounding it, playgrounds, basketball courts, you name it, and narrowly avoiding errant bikers and pedestrians along the way. In LA, it seems like it’s always the journey that sticks with you. Getting anywhere is a legit endeavor, and you always see something interesting and unexpected. The process of embarking on an activity ends up dwarfing the activity itself in most cases. There are few places I know with a stronger sense of place than LA, if not for just how big of a place it is. On this particular Oct. 21 trip, I’m simply here to spend a weekend with Lisa and John, who live together in Mar Vista, a neighborhood just east of Venice. Lisa is a social worker, and John is an assistant film director in Hollywood. It’d been a while since I visited, and I really needed a trip away from the SLO “snow globe” (as our editorial staff here sometimes lovingly refers to it). My initial impressions of experiencing LA through my sister’s eyes as a resident are always, “Wow, how could you ever feel a sense of community here?” But I quickly see how people find their place as small fish in the big sea. For instance,
I learned all about this local effort to recall a Mar Vista representative on the LA City Council who pushed a controversial initiative to wipe out a lane of vehicle traffic on Venice Boulevard to make room for a protected bike path. It’s caused terrible traffic bottlenecks, and people are pissed! So, at the end of the day, you engage with your neighborhood and local districts, like any other place, including little San Luis Obispo. We had no big plans for the weekend—just to see where the vibe took us. For the most part, that was the beach, and we boogie-boarded, sunbathed, and enjoyed German beers at the On the Waterfront Café, a favorite BRO AND SIS of Lisa and John’s, on the for a quick photo boardwalk that’s sadly closing down and getting replaced with a spot that offers trendy vegetarian fare. We biked around Venice, people-watched, checked out the river canals, and stopped into the Baja Cantina patio to watch our beloved San Francisco 49ers get killed by the Dallas Cowboys. But it wasn’t all bikes and beaches. We grilled our own meats and s’mores at the Gyu-kaku Japanese BBQ and spent time catching up on just about anything you could think of. Sure, driving six hours for 48 hours of family time isn’t ideal. But I wasn’t complaining while cruising back to SLO through Ventura and Santa Barbara on Sunday with the sun setting in a cloudless sky over the ocean horizon. I’ll be back, Lisa.

We just have so much gratitude for everyone who has mentored and helped us along the way,” she said. “We have so much local pride for Morro Bay.” Added Mace, “When I eat healthy, I feel energetic, clear headed—just ready to go. We want to give that feeling to the community. We want to empower our friends in Morro Bay to feel good.” ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain worships the goddess of gardening.

All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 470 No. 3rd Street , Grover Beach, CA 93433 A.P.N.: 060-086-021 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 375,852.25. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-9608299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/ MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2016-03024-CA.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Unleash an outrageous boast about how you’re going to pull off a certain feat that you’ve previously lacked the chutzpah to attempt. Testify at freewillastrology.com.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I share Vincent Van Gogh’s belief that “the best way to know life is to love many things.” But I also think that the next 12 months will be an inspiring time for you to be focused and single-minded in your involvement with love. That’s why I encourage you to take an approach articulated by the Russian mystic Anne Sophie Swetchine: “To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.” Halloween costume suggestion: a lover celebrating a sacred union to the love of your life, to God or goddess, or to a symbol of your most sublime ideal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Yes, We Have No Bananas” is a silly novelty song that became a big hit in 1923. Its absurdity led to its wide use for humorous effect. For example, on the kids’ TV series The Muppet Show, puppets made out of fruits and vegetables sang parodies of the tune. That’s why I find it droll that the “No Bananas” songwriters stole part of the melody from the “Hallelujah Chorus,” the climax of classical composer George Handel’s religious oratorio Messiah. I’d love to see you engage in comparable transmutations, Taurus: making serious things amusing and vice versa. It’s a time when you can generate meaningful fun and playful progress through the art of reversal. Halloween costume suggestion: a tourist from Opposite Land or Bizarro World.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is an excellent phase in your cycle to scour bathrooms, scrub floors, shampoo carpets, and wash windows. But the imminent future will be an even more favorable period to purify your motivations, tonify your emotions, purge your less-than-noble agendas, calm down your monkey mind and monkey heart, disinfect the moldy parts of your past, and fact-check the stories you tell about yourself. So which set of tasks should you focus on? It may be possible to make great strides on the second set as you carry out the first set. But if there’s not enough time and energy to do both, favor the second set. Halloween costume suggestion: a superhero who has wondrous cleaning powers; King Janitor or Queen Maid.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “You never sing the same song twice,” said chanteuse Billie Holiday. “If you sing it with all the same phrasing and melody, you’re failing your art.” That’s an extreme statement, but I understand what she was driving at. Repeating yourself too much can be debilitating. That includes trying to draw inspiration from the same old sources that have worked in the past. I suggest you avoid this behavior in the coming days. Raise Holiday’s approach to a universal principle. Fresh sources of inspiration are available! Halloween costume suggestion: a persona or character unlike any you’ve ever imagined yourself to be.
(May 21-June 20): In the next two weeks, you may have to navigate your way through careless gossip, distorted “facts,” superficial theories, hidden agendas, fake news, and official disinformation. To prevent problems in communication with people who matter, take advantage of the Halloween spirit in this way: Obtain a bicycle helmet and cover it with aluminum foil. Decorate it with an Ace of Clubs, a red rose, images of wrathful but benevolent superheroes, and a sign that says “No Bullshit Allowed.” By wearing this crown, you should remain protected. If that’s too weird for you, do the next best thing: Vow to speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and ask to receive the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
SAGITTARIUS
CANCER
CAPRICORN
(June 21-July 22): Watch out for a fake pizza-delivery driver who’s actually trying to issue you a legal summons. Be careful you don’t glimpse a blood red sky at dusk, in case it’s a prophetic sign that your cellphone will fall into a toilet sometime soon. Beware of the possibility that a large bird carrying a turtle to its nest accidentally drops its prey into a rain puddle near you, splashing mud on your fancy clothes. JUST KIDDING! All the scenarios I just described are stupid lies. The truth is, this should be one of the most worry-free times ever. You’re welcome, of course, to dream up a host of scary fantasies if you find that entertaining, but I guarantee that they’ll be illusory. Halloween costume suggestion: an indomitable warrior.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What is the material object you want most but don’t have? This is an object that would serve your soul’s highest purposes, although not necessarily your ego’s. Here’s another question: What evocative symbol might help keep you inspired to fulfill your dreams over the course of the next five years? I suggest that you choose one or both of those things to be the inspiration for your Halloween costume.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Did you get a chance to go to circus school when you were a kid? How about magic school? Or maybe detective school or time-travel school or superhero school? Probably none of the above, right? Much of your education revolved around what you HAD to learn rather than what would be fun to learn. I’m not saying it was bad you were compelled to study subjects you felt ambivalent about. In the long run, it did you good. But now here’s some sweet news, Virgo: The next 10 months will be a favorable time to get trainings and teachings in what you YEARN to learn. Halloween costume suggestion: a student.

LIBRA
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): How can you enjoy the lavish thrills of rebirth later unless you die a little inside now? It’s the trickiest phase of your cycle, when your energies are best used to resolve and graduate from the unfinished business of the last 10 months. I suggest that you put the past to rest as best as you can. Don your funniest sad face and pay your last respects to the old ways and old days you’ll soon be leaving behind. Keep in mind that beauty will ultimately emerge from decay. Halloween costume suggestion: the mythical phoenix, which burns itself down, then resurrects itself from its own ashes. (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are no such things as magic healings and miraculous redemptions and impossible breakthroughs. Right? Hard evidence provided by science precludes the existence of exotic help coming from spiritual realms. Right? Well, no. Not right. There is in fact another real world that overlaps the material world, and it operates according to different laws that are mostly imperceptible to our senses. But events in the other real world can have tangible effects in the material world. This is especially true for you right now. Take advantage! Seek practical answers and solutions in your dreams, meditations, visions, and numinous encounters. Halloween costume suggestion: white-magic sorcerer or good witch.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many years from now, in your last hours on earth, you will have visions that show you how all the events in your life were crucial to your life story. You will understand the lesson that was provided by each twist and turn of your destiny. Every piece of the gigantic puzzle will slip into place, revealing the truth of what your mission has been. And during that future climax, you may remember right now as a time when you got a long glimpse of the totality. Halloween costume suggestion: the happiest person on Earth; the sovereign of all you survey; the wise fool who understands yourself completely.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might be able to pass for normal, but it will be better for your relationship with yourself if you don’t. You could try to tamp down your unusual urges and smooth your rough edges, but it will be smarter to regard those urges and edges as fertile raw material for your future happiness. Catch my drift? In the coming weeks, your main loyalty should be to your idiosyncratic intelligence. Halloween costume suggestion: the beautiful, interesting monster who lives in you. ∆
