Atascadero Police Department accused of racism in lawsuit

FILE PHOTO

Tulare County man is suing the Atascadero Police Department, claiming he was unlawfu lly detained, questioned, and searched in racially motived encounter with an APD officer last year. The lawsuit stated that the man, Army reservist Kyle Bell of Visalia, 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 parking lot of the Atascadero Police Department, believing that it would be safe place to stretch his legs and smoke a cigarette before continuing the drive back home. As he was standing in the parking lot Bell was approached by an Atascadero Police Officer, later identified as Rochelle Hanson, who began to question him, telling him “you look suspicious.” The officer then detained Bell “via coercion and a show of force” before searching Bell’s vehicle, the lawsuit stated. Both Bell and his lawyer, Visalia attorney Matthew Owdom, believe that the incident was racially motivated. According to the lawsuit, Bell is 6-foot-4 and “a very dark-complected black male,” and 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?” “[Bell] is informed and believes that his detention was based solely on his race and/or the fact that his wife appeared to be a white woman,” the lawsuit stated. Bell was eventually allowed to go on his way and later filed a complaint with the department. According to Owdom, he and Bell asked the department for an apology and to provide officers with training about racial bias, but he claimed the department refused to apologize, and also denied them access to Hanson’s bodycam footage of the incident. Owdom said he was told the department conducted its own

review of the incident, but he was not aware if the APD took any action against Hanson as a result. “I don’t think police departments can be trusted to police themselves,” Owdom said. “Unless you challenge these things in court, there will not be a positive change.” Atascadero Police Department spokesman Sgt.

SLO ‘unlawfully altered’ special election ballot, county DA says As San Luis Obispo voters’ mailboxes get stuffed with the special election ballots for Measure B-17—the initiative to repeal and replace the Rental Housing Inspection Program (RHIP) with a “Non-Discrimination in Housing” ordinance—the SLO County District Attorney’s Office is asserting that the city has “unlawfully altered” the wording in the ballot question. On May 16, the SLO City Council finalized the special election ballot, spurred by a citizenled petition, which added language to state that the City Council repealed the RHIP in a March 7 vote. The ballot question reads: “Shall an ordinance be adopted to replace former Chapter 15.10 of the SLO Municipal Code, entitled, ‘Rental Housing Inspection’ (repealed by the City Council Ordinance 1632, effective April 20, 2017), with new Chapter 15.10 to be entitled ‘Non-Discrimination in Housing’?” SLO resident Kevin Rice, a Measure B-17 supporter and financer, complained to City Attorney Christine Dietrick at the time about

the added language, and Dietrick argued that, “the voters can’t repeal something that does not exist.” “At this point, Chapter 15.10 no longer exists in the SLO Municipal Code,” Dietrick wrote to Rice on May 11. “When the measure was titled, it did, so the title was accurate.” But in a June 13 response to a complaint from Rice, Assistant DA Lee Cunningham wrote that the DA’s Office agreed the city violated election law by amending the question, which he believed made it “inconsistent” with the petition and “effectively altered” the overall framework of the question. “Although it appears that the City Council unlawfully altered the initiative, I don’t believe their action was criminal,” Cunningham wrote in the memo, which was signed by DA Dan Dow. Cunningham told Rice and New Times that the phrase in parentheses constituted a violation of Election Code 9210, which prohibits the amendment of a filed petition except by court order. He said the effect of the amendment was it reframed the ballot question as just a replacement ordinance for the RHIP—as NEWS continued page 6

opposed to both a repeal of the RHIP and a replacement ordinance. If passed by voters, Measure B-17 would make it unlawful for any City Council to adopt a RHIP in the future without voter approval. “I don’t know how you could say that didn’t alter the issue that’s on the ballot,” Cunningham told New Times. “You’ve taken something that’s ‘repeal and replace’ and made it a ‘replace.’” Rice said he believes the city added the language to influence voters to vote “no” on the measure. “I view it as an unlawful move by the City Council and city attorney to sway the outcome in their favor,” Rice told New Times. City Attorney Dietrick did not respond directly to the letter from the DA’s Office before press time due to being on vacation. “However, it remains my position … that the city acted lawfully and consistent with its obligation under the elections code to present truthful and accurate information to the voters,” Dietrick wrote in an email. Cunningham said criminal charges for the ballot alterations require intentional fraud or willful neglect, which, “I doubt was the situation here.” Organizations like the SLO Chamber of Commerce, People’s Self-Help Housing, Housing Authority, and SLO U40 have joined the SLO City Council in opposition to Measure B-17. Its opponents believe that the replacement ordinance would place other housing programs, like the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, which generates funds to build affordable housing, in legal jeopardy. —Peter Johnson

Grover and Paso discuss polystyrene foam ban

Two cities at opposite ends of SLO County are taking two different paths when it comes to banning expanded polystyrene food containers in their respective municipalities. In South County, the Grover Beach City Council approved plans to move forward with the development of an ordinance that would ban the use of the plastic foam, commonly referred to as Styrofoam, at its July 17 meeting. In North County, members of the Paso Robles City Council voted against developing a similar ordinance, citing concerns that it would be government overreach. If passed, Grover Beach would join four other SLO County municipalities that have enacted similar bans—Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, Morro Bay, and SLO city. Expanded polystyrene (also known as EPS) is commonly used in cups, plates, and to-go boxes for food and drinks in restaurants. The material isn’t biodegradable and is difficult to recycle. Local groups calling for a ban on the material, such as SLO Foam Free and the local chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, raised concerns that the foam has a negative impact on the local environment and the health of birds, fish, and other animals that might come into contact with it. “Styrofoam is one of the items we find quite a bit on our beach cleanups,” said Cynthia Replogle, vice chair for Surfrider’s SLO Chapter. “Takeout containers that get used in the city often end up on the sand.” Judith Bean, president of the Arroyo

VIEWER DISCRETION Grande and Grover Beach Chamber of Commerce, raised concerns about a potential ban’s impact on small businesses. Bean said that while several of the 19 local businesses the chamber talked to had already voluntarily stopped using such containers, many of those that hadn’t made the switch claimed it would cost them more to use non-polystyrene containers. “The bulk of them said it would raise their costs more than double,” Bean said. “They would have to pass that cost onto diners or eat the cost themselves.” Taking that into account, Councilmember Jeff Lee asked that city staff consider modeling a proposed ordinance after Arroyo Grande’s ban, which he viewed as more business friendly. Based on that model, Grover Beach’s regulation could include a lengthy roll-out to allow businesses to use up their current stock of polystyrene containers and potentially offer hardship exemptions for businesses that can’t afford to make the switch. Grover Beach City Manager Matthew Bronson said the proposed ban would likely be brought back to the council some time in the fall. In Paso Robles, members of the City Council decided not to pursue developing any sort of ban on expanded polystyrene. Several of the council members, including member Jim Reed, believed that market forces were already pushing businesses and companies to stop using the foam on their own. “The mentality is changing. There’s a lot of great work that’s already being done about it right now,” Reed said. “It’s going to correct itself, and I don’t really see that we need to burden the government with more work.” —Chris McGuinness

Homebuilders Association to oppose county’s affordable housing policy

The Homebuilders Association of the Central Coast (HBACC) will advocate for a repeal of SLO County’s affordable housing policy—called inclusionary housing—and call for more “broad-based” funding sources to support affordable housing, a move that’s drawn criticism from some community stakeholders. In 2008, SLO County adopted an inclusionary housing ordinance. It requires developers to either build a certain number of deed-restricted “affordable” units in a project, or pay in-lieu fees that are then pooled to support nonprofit-driven affordable housing projects. Currently, the county’s in-lieu fees are $3,150 per home for 8 percent of units. At a HBACC board meeting last month, Executive Director Jeff Eckles received direction to advocate for a repeal of the ordinance. Eckles said the HBACC supports the county finding alternative funding sources to build affordable housing that don’t penalize builders, come “on the backs of new home owners,” and have more “permanence.” “We’ve always been opposed to the inclusionary housing ordinance,” Eckles said. “The big problem we’ve got is the funding mechanism. Economic studies have shown the more layers of fees you put on housing, the higher the price of the house.” But affordable housing developer John Fowler, CEO of nonprofit People’s Self-

6 • New Times • July 27 - August 3, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

Help Housing and HBACC member, believes the organization is taking advantage of a conservative-leaning Board of Supervisors to protect its profits. “[The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance] is insignificant to the price of the house,” Fowler told New Times. “Cost is cost, and the market sells for what it sells for … . Fees overall might make a developer pause, but not just this fee. This little thing doesn’t change anything.” Eckles agreed that the inclusionary ordinance alone wasn’t the “sole cause” of the housing market’s problems, calling the developer fees in general, “death by 1,000 cuts.” The Board of Supervisors will review the ordinance in November, and the debate sets the stage for a larger conversation about affordable housing policies. Eckles said the HBACC wants to see the county invest more of its funds into affordable housing, through a parcel or sales tax, bond obligations, title transfer fees, or direct general fund contributions. Fowler countered that the larger policy discussion can take place without repealing the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. “It’s kind of like the health care thing: Do the broader fix, and then you can get all the Board of Supervisors to support it,” he said. —Peter Johnson

Woman accused of neglecting horses previously charged for endangering dog

A 43-year-old Paso Robles woman facing felony charges for neglecting to care for horses in the California Valley was previously charged with animal endangerment for leaving a dog in a car, according to court records. On July 25, the SLO County Sheriff’s Office announced that it had completed an animal neglect case against former California Valley Community Services District board member Misty Marie Lambert, and seized 11 horses from a Cal Valley property were she was keeping them. According to sheriff’s officials, the horses on the property, located in the 14000 block of Arvin Trail, were left without adequate food or water for periods as long as six days in temperatures of more than 100 degrees. A colt on the property had been attacked multiple times by a dog, investigators said. The colt’s untreated wounds were so severe that it had to be euthanized. Photos showed the animal on its side in the dust with what appeared to be a large bite wound on one if its rear legs. Court records show that Lambert was

charged with one count of misdemeanor animal endangerment in 2014. According to the complaint, Lambert left a dog unattended in a vehicle under conditions that endangered the animal’s health. Lambert was fined $150 in connection with that case. In addition to the animal-related cases, Lambert was one of two Cal Valley CSD directors the SLO County District Attorney’s Office charged with election fraud in the fall of 2016. The charges against Lambert and her fellow CSD director, Lisa Marrone, were eventually dismissed. Sheriff’s officials said that the District Attorney’s Office had filed criminal charges against Lambert related to the horses. Seven of the horses from the property were placed in the care of SLO County Animal Services, while three stallions taken from the property were transported to the Equine Center in SLO. —Chris McGuinness

Loans available to businesses impacted by storms

Local businesses and nonprofits whose bottom lines were hit hard by last winter’s storms and the recent Mud Creek Slide on Highway 1 may file economic injury forms with SLO County to receive low-interest loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). County Office of Emergency Services Manager Ron Alsop told New Times his office is currently accepting the forms, which can be faxed, mailed, or submitted online. SBA loans are available now for businesses that were impacted by the numerous storms in February, while loans are being considered by the SBA for businesses impacted by the Mud Creek Slide, which closed a substantial segment of Highway 1 since May 20. “The context here is economic injury … to motels, restaurants, and other businesses who have seen decreased revenue, either due to the earlier winter storms or from the effect of the Mud Creek Slide closure,” Alsop said. Business owners who want to submit forms for Mud Creek Slide impacts must show losses between May 20 and the current date—which SLO County will then submit to the SBA. “We will then get them to the SBA and the SBA will determine if they will open a second disaster loan period,” Alsop said. Alsop added that the SBA only needs five businesses to document economic injury from a disaster for the federal agency to open a new loan period. “If we can get the word out, we might be able to pull this off,” he said.

Paving the way San Luis Ranch and Avila Ranch trigger $118.7 million in new traffic infrastructure

an Luis Obispo is at the precipice of one of its biggest growth surges in decades. On July 18, the SLO City Council approved the San Luis Ranch housing project, a 580-unit development on 131 acres between Madonna Road and Highway 101. Up next, on Aug. 9, the Planning Commission will make a final recommendation to the City Council on the 720-unit Avila Ranch, proposed on 150 acres near Buckley Road. The growth won’t stop there. Another roughly 1,800 new homes are planned for in the Orcutt and Margarita areas east and west of Broad Street, respectively, and a mixed-use senior housing project is in the works at the 111-acre Froom Ranch off Los Osos Valley Road. SLO officials say the projects are hallmarks of the city’s 2014 general plan, which emphasized housing, and builders’ swift forward progress is the result of a sustained, healthy economy. “Because the economy has been so good for so long, it’s allowed for this momentum to generate,” said SLO Community Development Director Michael Codron. “Typically, you go through these cycles of recession and boom times; everybody’s in a rush when the economy’s good and nobody picks up the phone when the economy’s bad. But here … since 2010, there’s been no recessionary period. It’s allowed us to get an awful lot done.” While a bump in housing is welcomed news to many residents trying to make it in the most unaffordable real estate market in SLO County, the building boom brings with it some growing pains—the costliest being the transportation infrastructure required to support that growth. SLO is looking at several major projects that are necessary to accommodate the traffic impacts of the buildout. City officials are currently negotiating with the developers and Caltrans officials to coordinate what’s needed, when to build it and how to pay for it.

A regional network San Luis Ranch, on its own, will trigger an estimated $54.2 million in new traffic infrastructure, highlighted by the construction of a Highway 101 overpass at Prado Road. “That’s one of the biggest infrastructure projects that we have,” Codron said of the $35 million overpass. Northbound Highway 101 ramps will eventually accompany the overpass at Prado Road, according to the city. Other related road projects include tweaks to Madonna Road, South Higuera Street, Froom Ranch Way, and Los Osos Valley Road. The San Luis Ranch developer, Gary Grossman of Coastal Community Builders, will reportedly pay a $22.8 million share of the infrastructure costs, according to a city staff report. That leaves a $31.4 million gap. The city plans to cover the difference using a hodgepodge of funding sources, including property tax revenue, developer impact fees, general funds, and assessments from the future Community Facilities District (CFD) for the San Luis Ranch. Grossman’s team may front the costs for the infrastructure beyond his “fair share,” and then get reimbursed by SLO as funds become available, according to city documents. The timing of the Prado overpass construction is an important detail. San Luis Ranch will be built in six phases, with the overpass required by the completion of the second phase in 202122. Phase one, to begin construction in 2018, consists of a couple hundred singlefamily homes. Some citizens expressed concern to the City Council about whether adequate infrastructure would be in place to address the first phase of development. “The traffic congestion and circulation is a nightmare in that area of San Luis Obispo already,” resident Cheryl McLean wrote to City Council members on July 5. “The additional stress on overcrowded

streets … will only exacerbate the problem.” Caltrans officials have also expressed concern about the initial impacts of San Luis Ranch to Highway 101. The agency asked SLO to monitor the increased traffic to the freeway as the project rolls out, in case additional mitigation is needed. “We’re working with the city so [the development] is done at a pace that can be accommodated,” said John Olegnik, a senior transportation planner for Caltrans. “This is definitely one of the largest growth spurts we’ve seen in the city of SLO.” Olegnik added that Caltrans is still evaluating exactly what kind of facility will be needed at Prado Road and Highway 101 in the long term, in addition to the overpass. While the city is pushing for a full interchange at Prado, in a January letter penned to the city, Caltrans wasn’t so sure, citing a 2014 report that identified “the closely spaced interchanges through the city as a key issue creating U.S. 101 mainline deficiencies.” “There’s definitely the need to have something there,” Olegnik said. “That’s still being studied.” The 720-unit Avila Ranch project, if and when it gets the City Council’s approval, will also trigger a series of major infrastructural projects—with a preliminary price tag of $64.5 million. Avila Ranch would require extending Buckley Road to South Higuera Street in

addition to a series of road improvements up and down South Higuera, from South Street to Los Osos Valley Road. Avila Ranch developer Andy Mangano’s fair share of the costs is $45.3 million, according to a recent city analysis. City officials are in the midst of negotiating a development agreement with Mangano, which will be presented to the City Council sooner than the San Luis Ranch agreement since San Luis Ranch has to first get annexed into the city. Codron noted that the city will also be looking to the regional SLO Council of Governments (SLOCOG)—which manages state and federal transportation funds—to chip in for the new infrastructure. Commuters countywide will traverse the new routes, Codron said. About 30 percent of the future trips between Broad Sreet and Highway 101 “will not begin or end in the city of SLO.” “When you look at how we’re breaking out cost, there’s definitely a regional component,” Codron said. “These east/ west connections in the city are new and expensive pieces of infrastructure to deliver, but they’re critical for housing and they carry a lot of regional traffic.” ∆ Contact Staff Writer Peter Johnson at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Without a plan

Morro Bay has the chance at federal dollars to help fund its water facility, but the project’s on pause

lthough Morro Bay still hasn’t decided where to put its controversial water facility, the city is in the running for an $82 million federal loan to partially fund it. The city was one of 12 municipalities nationwide selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to apply for a Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan. In California, the Central Coast city is competing against San Francisco, Orange County, and San Diego. The opportunity comes at a time when the Morro Bay City Council voted to put its project on a two-month hold, because it’s reviewing a project site that was already denied by the California Coastal Commission in 2013. But Public Works Director Rob Livick said the city wouldn’t be looking directly at the original site on Atascadero Road, rather it’s eyeing a location in close proximity. Morro Bay has a year from the EPA’s July invitation to apply for the loan to figure out the project site and a firm project description. Michele Huitric, an EPA media consultant, told New Times via email that Morro Bay was chosen because its water project aligned with loan parameters. “All projects were evaluated following a selection framework outlined in the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, established by Congress in 2014, which requires an assessment of letters of interest by performing an eligibility screening, a preliminary creditworthiness assessment, a preliminary engineering feasibility analysis, and an evaluation of the selection criteria,” she said. Among the contenders in California is the San Francisco Public Utility Commission with a loan in the amount of $625 million to renovate its existing 60-year-old facilities nicknamed “city under the city.” The combined water facilities—North Point Wet-Weather Facility, Oceanside Treatment Plant, and Southeast Treatment Plant—collect and treat sewage and storm water runoff. The city of San Diego and its Pure Water Program was selected to apply for a loan of $492 million. Its $1.2 billion facility and multi-year program are slated to produce 30 million gallons of treated drinking water from the Miramar Reservoir that sits adjacent to its North City Water Reclamation Plant. It will produce filtered recycled water for drinking and reduce the city’s need for imported water. The Orange County Water District was also invited by the EPA to apply for a $124 million loan for its Groundwater Replenishment System. The project expands the county’s existing water recycling plant, which treats and supplies 100 million to 130 million gallons a day. The project calls for adding another 31,000 acre-feet of water supply each year that will reduce the amount of imported water from the Delta in Northern California and the Colorado River. Morro Bay is looking to supply its 10,600 residents with advanced wastewater treatment water by building a

new facility, something that’s been in the works since 2013 and had been proposed at three separate sites, including where its current facility stands now (part of the project proposal denied by the Coastal Commission in 2013, which the city is now revisiting as a potential option). During the July 11, 2017, City Council meeting, members received a last-minute letter from the Coastal Commission Director Dan Carl reiterating the commission’s stance on the original site. “We are frankly shocked that the city would be considering such a radical change in strategy without even consultation with Coastal Commission staff, especially given the commission’s prior denial of a coastal permit for the city’s prior plant project at the current plant site in 2013 … ,” the letter stated. Carl told New Times that the commission was disappointed at the hiccup in the progress of the project. “That site is problematic, we’re talking about a significant investment in public funds and in critical infrastructure. That’s something that the commission is looking very hard at in this new era of sea level rise and climate change where shoreline hazards are only going to be exacerbated where that site currently has problems,” he said. The city will also be looking into past proposed locations that include the Righetti property north of Highway 41 and the Giannini property near Hillcrest Drive, east of Highway 1. Morro Bay’s 63-year-old facility—jointly shared with the Cayucos Sanitary District— is running on an antiquated permit. Not only does the city need to figure out a definitive plan to move the project forward, Livick said, but it also needs to get off the old operational permit. “We’ll go to a hearing probably in December for a new discharge permit,” he said, adding that there will be a time component proposed “that gives us a limited amount of time to complete that facility wherever that facility is.” Each time the project’s proposed location has changed, the project’s estimated price tag, currently estimated at $150 million to $160 million, has increased. Livick told New Times that utilizing the original site could save the city about $40 million. If chosen, the EPA loan would fund about 49 percent of the project. Livick said the other 51 percent would come from grants and State Revolving Fund financing, and the last resort would be issuing municipal bonds. Livick said grants and loans are very competitive, and a project must go above and beyond the bare minimum requirements to receive them. “With our conversations with the regional [water] board, we understand that just doing what’s basically necessary is probably not any project that will garner any outside financing,” he said. ∆ Staff writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

getting stronger Lifting a competitive sport back up to its former glory BY RYAH COOLEY | PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM

FUNCTIONAL FITNESS SLO Strong co-founder Andrew Wickham carries a large rock at a team workout in June at Headstrong Fit in SLO.

few years after college, he weighed more than he ever had, topping out at 280 pounds. Cal Poly alumnus Andrew Wickham knew something had to change. “I got into triathlon and Spartan Races to lose weight, but I was never going to win a marathon or win a triathlon,” Wickham said. “I realized I was really strong so I tried a powerlifting competition and then a strongman competition.” About four years later, his weight was about the same, but his body fat was lower than it had been in years. In March of this year, Wickham’s hard work on his physique paid off when he earned the pretty formidable title of California’s Strongest Man from a hard-fought competition in Huntington Beach. But about a year ago, Wickham got tired of always having to travel far and wide to compete and not having a strength sports community here in San Luis Obispo County. After meeting fellow lover-of-lifting-heavy-things Dennis Chaples while working out at the Iron Jungle in Paso Robles (“Oh, you’re lifting something heavy? We should be friends,” Wickham said of their meeting) the two came up with an idea. What if they started a free group built around strength training activities with no tie to any one gym in the area? At their first workout in the spring of 2016, just eight people showed up. Now the group boasts about 30 core members, and last year in August they won the best team award at a National Academy of Strength and Power competition in Bakersfield. And this July 30, they’ll bring back a little of that circus-freak feel to the fair with impressive feats of strength to the first ever California Mid-State Fair Strongest Man & Woman Competition, just a few months after the group hosted its first powerlifting meet in May. “The look you see on people’s faces when they do something they couldn’t imagine doing … it’s a little more fun than your average gym workout,” Wickham said.

once a month they meet up at a different gym to sweat it out. This isn’t your average gym session with weight machines or a pair of dumbbells, though. People are pushing enormous tires affixed to barbells and giant rocks over their heads like it’s nothing. While the group held its first powerlifting meet in May, the event at the fair will be a strongman competition. To the layperson, lifting heavy things is lifting heavy things, but powerlifting is quite different from strongman. Powerlifting includes your basic barbell and weights with the deadlift, bench press, and squat up for consideration. Strongman is more of a spectacle. “Powerlifting is a very straightforward, almost Olympic-style sport that is purely based on your one-rep maximum lift for the three basic lifts,” Wickham said. “Strongman is … there’s no specified equipment. It’s literally moving heavy things, lifting heavy things, and carrying heavy things.” While the structure is a little more loosey-goosey for strongman, it generally consists of five events, which are up to the meet organizer to decide. At the fair, 40 competitors will do a log clean and press overhead, a giant tire deadlift, an armover-arm mega truck and beer wagon pull, a Hercules hold (yup, just like in the Disney movie where Hercules holds the two pillars up), and the atlas stone series, where participants lift massive boulders and place them on a raised platform. While Wickham admits that the circus-like nature of strongman is fitting for the fair, they’re not just putting on a show. The competition is also a qualifier for November’s Strongman Corporation National Championship in Las Vegas. Chelsea Borneman, 29, of Atascadero found her way to SLO Strong through a fitness journey that started in 2013. When a close friend got into bodybuilding,

ATLAS Dave LaCaro prepares to lift a 95-pound atlas stone during a SLO Strong workout.

While he insisted that everyone who came to compete was a big deal in the powerlifting world, Estrada eventually mentioned a few specific names, like local Alan Best, who once attempted to squat 1,000 pounds at one of Estrada’s meets. In 2009, Best took second place for benching 644 pounds at the World Powerlifting Federation World Championship in Las Vegas. And then there was Pat Casey, known as the “king of powerlifters,” who was the first man in the sport to ever bench press 600 pounds. Estrada said he always wore a blue robe to the meets in SLO. But in 2000, Estrada hosted his last powerlifting competition. There simply

weren’t enough people to help do all the work to keep it going year after year. “I guess people just got tired of it,” Estrada said. “It’s a lot of work.” While Estrada’s Gym has nearly 60 years of history in SLO and there’s a resurgence of competitive strength sports in the area through groups like SLO Strong, the fate of the place where many local lifters got their start remains uncertain. The building where Estrada’s is located recently went under new ownership. While Estrada has yet to speak with the new owners, he said he was doubtful that they wanted to renew his lease, which has 4 1/2 years left on it. Estrada also said he won’t sell his lease, so there’s still time to figure out the next steps. “I’ve put too much time in this place,” he said. Ideally, Estrada said when his lease is up, he’ll turn the gym and equipment over to a younger strength-training aficionado who can hopefully find a new space to put it all. “Estrada’s Gym will definitely live on,” Wickham said. “Can’t let it end with the building being bought.” As for Wickham and SLO Strong, he wants to keep on making people’s lives better by helping them get stronger. “Depending on what your goals are, there’s a place for it,” Wickham said. “I want people to go to our meets and say that was the most fun, and I want them to go home and tell their friends so even more people will come.” ∆ Arts Editor Ryah Cooley lifts heavy, sometimes at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Musical vibrations T he average traveler carries a backpack and wears a pair of headphones playing their favorite tunes to get through the commute or hike, or even just a pack with goods to survive a music festival. Cal Poly grad Jared Becker took the average pack and came up with something more, a backpack to enhance the music experience. “It opens up this sense, this tactile dimension to music that you don’t really get to experience any other way except maybe when you’re in a car with huge subwoofers,” Becker said. He calls it a Baserock and it gives the wearer an opportunity to physically feel the music they’re listening to through vibrating bass frequencies that are built into it. With the help of Kickstarter—a platform for funding creative projects— the duo set a goal of $15,000 and has already surpassed that, with pledges amounting to $69,514. The product should ship out to the pledgers of Baserock in February 2018. The musical vibrations are felt right on the wearer’s back as the pack uses dual tactile transducers to create the vibrations and is powered by a rechargeable battery. The intensity of Baserock can controlled or even turned off so the musical

experience can be made personal. Headphones or a speaker can be plugged into the backpack with an auxiliary cord that’s already connected. Or if the wearer is at a music festival the pack has an integrated microphone input so it can pick up the bass sounds and vibrate along with the live music. The pack also features a hydration reservoir and spout perfect for an outdoor adventure and ample storage space. Becker and his partner, Gannon Daynes, listen to music in the car, at work, on the way to work—you could say they love music. They’re also big on going to concerts and music festivals and usually carry a pack of some kind. The duo did some research, curious if there was a product out there that they could use that would hold their stuff as well as enhance their music experience. “We saw some technology online but there wasn’t really anything out there that we would put on or wear walking around Higuera Street,” Becker said. That inspired them to take the idea of a vibrating backpack and bring it to life with the help of Kickstarter and SLO HotHouse—the Cal Poly Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Becker and his partner are recent Cal Poly grads and started creating this product as part of a senior project. But the

Equal dignity The intended consequence of Measure B-17

oes anyone remember a time when more than three times the number of voters needed signed up to put an initiative on a city ballot? This week San Luis Obispo city residents are getting mail-in ballots. A “yes” vote will permanently repeal the invasive and discriminatory rental housing inspection ordinance adopted by an out-of-touch City Council. A yes vote will, for the first time in city history, forbid discrimination in city housing policies, practices, and ordinances based on “age, income, disability, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual identity, or inability or ability to own a home.” City Council members, folks working in nonprofits that are funded by city grants, and institutional city management have generated a slick whisper campaign urging a “no” vote against the initiative. Their “talking points” are 1. the “Rental Housing Inspection” ordinance is dead and gone, 2. the initiative’s two sentence non-discrimination in housing ordinance will destroy affordable housing and mobile home rent control, and 3. adopting the non-discrimination in housing ordinance will get the city sued. Each talking point is false. I’m Stew Jenkins, one of the three proponents and authors of Measure B-17. I am one of the 9,200 citizens who signed the petition. I am a homeowner, not a landlord. Proponent Dan Knight is a tenant, and proponent Dan Carpenter is a homeowner who owns no residential

rentals. Tenants donated the great majority of funds needed to qualify the initiative so citizens can take control over housing policy. Out of a deep respect for voters, we want you to know the truth about what Measure B-17 does. We want you to know what it does not do. False city talking point No. 1: The rental inspection ordinance is dead and gone. San Luis Obispo adopted the initiative process in 1910, before the state of California did so. This direct-democracy tool gives voters control. If voters repeal a law, it will stay repealed. After thousands of signatures were turned in to qualify Measure B-17, the City Council cynically tried to sidestep the public with a quick repeal of the rental inspection ordinance. Why? Because if the City Council does the repeal—and not the voters—the council members have the option of readopting the rental inspection ordinance. Institutional city management has already discussed and scheduled with the City Council an effort to bring back substantial portions of the rental inspection housing ordinance just two months after our ballots get counted. Larger fees and fines will be levied, all passed on to tenants in ever-increasing rents. Instead of five or six tenants cramming themselves into one house to afford the rent, expect eight to 10 having to do so if the City Council is left free to adopt rental inspection program 2.0.

False city talking point No. 2: Affordable housing and mobile home park rent control will end if the city cannot discriminate in favor of poor people, seniors, and mobile home owners. Reading the initiative’s nondiscrimination in housing ordinance reveals the fiction in this talking point. Discrimination against people “based on age, income, disability, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual identity, or inability or ability to own a home” is outlawed by your yes vote. Assisting creation of affordable housing is not outlawed. In fact, the wording was carefully drafted

ordinance will lead to the city being sued for discrimination. Lordy! If city officials don’t discriminate, the city won’t suffer liability. If city officials don’t adopt ordinances requiring residents to submit their bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens to warrantless searches, without probable cause, the city won’t suffer liability. Voters don’t want public officials raising revenue through unconstitutional invasions of privacy.

Truth is, by voting yes, you will prevent skyrocketing rents on existing houses, which will lower the prices landlords can charge in new developments. to protect folks in mobile home parks. Limits on “space rent” increases are not outlawed. By omitting “developers” from the initiative’s wording, existing ordinances requiring “developers” to set aside affordable units for rent or purchase are preserved. The initiative nowhere prohibits a homeowner from adding a secondary (granny) unit, or renting out part of their home. Truth is, by voting yes, you will prevent skyrocketing rents on existing houses, which will lower the prices landlords can charge in new developments. It was the rental inspection ordinance’s yearly registration fees, repetitive inspection fees, and nonsense fines being passed on to tenants that fueled increasing rents.

Politics and good wine with friends is the way to go Michael Latner raises a good point in his op-ed piece when he describes the popular myth of old-time political comity as, umm, “male bovine scat” (July 13). The actual political discord of some earlier times makes our own bitterly ideologically divided times seem like a 1960s love-in by comparison, although some of the abuse targeted at opponents in earlier times may have been a bit more literate and droll than we presently see. It seems like the increase in political rancor follows the increasing complexity of life, and the increasingly demanding expectations that we have of government. In primitive times, the role was fairly simple and the issues straightforward, such as “who digs the new well?” “who pays for a fence to keep the foraging wildebeests out of the fields?” or, “what should we do about those pesky rampaging Visigoths?” Now,

however, the issues have grown far more complex. For example, what would Oooog think about net neutrality (at least once it was explained that it had nothing to do with fishing)? With the increasing complexity and scope of the governmental role have come additional “fracture lines,” or opportunities for disagreement between those with different and competing expectations and agendas. And the opportunity for disagreement becomes greater when the questions becomes whether or not we should further expand the governmental role, and how any such expansion will be financed. Predictably, these developments create unavoidable stresses between those who will benefit from the expanded role, and those who will pay for it. Since our political dynamic is

Polar bears are like canaries

The two most prominent scientific institutions in the United States are the National Academy of Science—whose 4,000 members are made up of the most important of this country’s scientists, including all the nation’s Nobel laureates and Fields Medal recipients—and the 170-year-old scientific journal, Scientific American. Both those most prestigious and venerable institutions endorse the proposition that global warming and climate change are real, that they are caused by human activities, and are the No. 1 threat to life on the surface of the earth. Those are, to use Al Fonzi’s own words, cold, hard facts—facts that are conspicuously missing in Mr Fonzi’s anti-factual, anti-rational screed (“What makes a skeptic?” July 20). Years ago, when miners descended into the earth they would take with them canaries, which they used to test whether the air they breathed in the shafts would kill them. Polar bears are analogous to those canaries; if they die off through habitat loss, you can bet we will not be long behind. But unlike those miners of old we can’t save ourselves by fleeing the mine; we either change our ways or die. Anyone supporting any other position is delusional. Steve Loicano Santa Maria

Fact-check, Al Fonzi

After reading Al Fonzi’s opinion piece in the July 20 edition of New Times titled, “What makes a skeptic?” I felt compelled to fact-check some of his assertions. I went to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) website and found lots of factual, useful information. It describes how the emails associated with the so-called “climate-gate” scandal was misunderstood by the media and public, and how the scandal was debunked years ago. This website posted a new article titled, “We fact-checked a bogus ‘study’ on global temperature that’s misleading readers,” dated July 21. In this article, a senior UCS climate scientist reviews the “study” Mr. Fonzi had referred to in his opinion piece. The UCS article points out several major flaws contained in that global temperature database “study.” The Global Warming section of the UCS website provides climate change articles and links that I think you will find enlightening. I encourage everyone to check out this website to conduct your own fact-checking journey on climate change. Regarding Mr. Fonzi, once again, he has made wild and baseless accusations intended to de-legitimize mainstream, peer-accepted climate science and create public confusion/inaction. He also associated those who call climate skeptics “deniers” with Nazi Holocaust deniers. How low will you go, Al? Dean Arrighi San Luis Obispo

NASA’s take on CO2 levels

Cutting through the elegant verbosity in Al Fonzi’s piece “What makes a skeptic?”

I seized upon what appeared to be a statement of fact: “During the ‘Roman Warm Period’ 2,000 years ago, it was considerably warmer and CO2 considerably greater, at 1,000 ppm.” Astounding! As someone who is horrified that we have reached 400 ppm (parts per million), I seized upon Fonzi’s words like a drowning man thrown a life preserver: 1,000 ppm! If we survived that, surely we can survive this! Now to fact check. When I searched “Roman warm period + 1000ppm,” there were 311 results, most of which were blogs and opinion pieces. I dismissed all of these. Historic levels of 1,000 ppm is news, a big story, so I searched the under news tab. There are nine results under news: Several right-wing opinion pieces, and Mr. Fonzi’s own. No major journalistic outlet, the kind that would seize upon this story to sell advertising in our good old free market system, has published the claim. Well, so, to hell with the news. I would go straight to the science! I searched historic CO2 levels chart. NASA was the first result. NASA seems like a safe bet to me. There are lots of scientists working at NASA. They have a nice budget, and the best equipment and brains in the world. The first sentence of the NASA page read as follows: “In 2013, CO2 levels surpassed 400 ppm for the first time in recorded history.” I am having a hard time reconciling “skeptic” with “gullible.” Sean Shealy San Luis Obispo

Traffic calming backlash

On Aug. 15, the SLO City Council will be asked to adopt a traffic redistribution plan that will profoundly affect vehicular and bicycle traffic throughout the city. The current proposal calls for long segments of both Chorro and Broad to become one-way streets. “Speed cushions” are intended for Broad Street. Bicyclists are the leading proponents of the Broad Street bicycle boulevard project. Only residents of the Anholm neighborhood were solicited by postcard to express a design preference. Unless and until the citizens at large are heard from, I fear a repeat of the “traffic calming” fiasco from more than 20 years ago: Motorists, surprised by the sudden emergence of unsightly barriers, expressed their displeasure by revving their engines and honking as they approached each impediment. Anholm residents were vilified as elitists. A special council meeting convened at the Vets Hall in response to the strident and persistent complaints. Deconstruction started the following day. An ungly backlash to the project can be avoided if the entire community feels as if (unlike 20 years ago) it had a chance to participate in a transparent, democratic process.

hen you will have to fight in your country as we fight here.” “Yes, we will have to fight.” “But are there not many fascists in your country?” “There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes.” “But you cannot destroy them until they rebel?” “No,” Robert Jordan said. “We cannot destroy them. But we can educate the people so that they will fear fascism and recognize it as it appears and combat it.” The immortal words of Ernest Hemmingway, in For Whom the Bell Tolls. Hemmingway saw fascism in its grotesque full bloom, violently ascending to overtake the Spanish political system, and he understood the potential for fascism in even a stable regime like the United States. Hemmingway’s literature foreshadowed the emergence of what political scientist Samuel Huntington would later describe as “unstable personalistic leaders … blatent corruption ... arbitrary infringement of the rights and liberties of citizens, declining standards of bureaucratic efficiency and performance, the pervasive alienation of urban political groups, the loss of authority by legislatures and courts, and the fragmentation … of broadly based political parties.” Well, here we are. The bell now tolls for us. Our time has come. We are faced with a president who, in his first six months, has ruthlessly attacked the free press and the courts, seeking to undermine their authority, all the while emphasizing and exaggerating his own abilities and power

and when they arise. If, for example, President Trump pushes out Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replaces him with someone who then fires special investigator Robert Mueller, only public outrage across the country can force a GOP Congress to assert its authority over such violations of constitutional norms. But even more important, in my view, is the necessity for average citizens like yourself to speak honestly and openly with your family, friends, and colleagues who voted for President Trump. You owe it to one another, and you owe it to your country, to “educate the people so that they will fear fascism and recognize it.” Hemmingway is talking to you. I’m not encouraging you to simply attack the lack of “empirical realism” expressed by Trump and his supporters. Indeed, outrage at Trump’s outrageous claims misses the point. His supporters understand that facts are not particularly useful, that Trump is “no angel,” and that lying and deception are basically part of business negotiations. Rather, Trump speaks the “emotional truth” of what people fear, who they identify with on a cultural, even tribal level, and the truth of who they feel they are. Trump supporters, and most voters, are not mobilized by the empirical realities of American politics, but what our moral course is. If we are to set the nation back on course, we must break the spell of authoritarian zeal. That requires addressing not merely Trump’s immorality as a liar, but the immorality of his entire life course, what he stands for and what he has always stood for: being a parasite, a huckster, a con-man who has selfishly enriched himself and his family by hurting other people. From

It is absolutely necessary that you are an active voter. It is absolutely necessary that you commit to action, including getting into the streets when necessary, to respond to constitutional crises … . as a leader, and the absolute importance of loyalty and subordination to his will. And just as Huntington foresaw, President Trump has “little use or need for ordered knowledge and practical, empirical realism.” This is a crucially important point to understand if Americans dedicated to democracy and the rule of law are to take the high ground, place opposition in control in Congress, and use popular resistance and legal restraints to bring President Trump to heel. In my final column for the New Times, before I commit full time to research and advocacy on voting rights and public education in election science in Washington, D.C., I want to reflect on this point about the role of “empirical realism” in government and what we owe one another as Americans in the battle for democracy ahead. It is absolutely necessary that you are an active voter. It is absolutely necessary that you commit to action, including getting into the streets when necessary, to respond to constitutional crises, if

Trump University to his well-documented treatment of sub-contractors, Trump’s actions today are the continuation of a clear amoral path, a path that most Americans would reject using their own ethical standards. Even many ardent supporters will not defend this behavior. And there is the punch. Facing the dissonance between one’s own morality and the actions of President Trump, most people will be open to other options. But it will take work. We have to be, in the possible parting words of Sen. John McCain, paraphrasing Lincoln, “the servants of a great nation, a nation conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” We must be dedicated to the moral realism of America, the hope of realizing our moral potential. ∆ Michael Latner is moving to Washington, D.C., to do some research and advocacy.

The Shredder

Double trouble housing bubble

ho wants to talk about how to fix SLO County’s low-income housing problem? I can hear certain right-wingers’ whispers already. People who can’t afford to live here should go somewhere else. But who’s going to serve you that spiffy glass of wine at your favorite tasting room? Yup, those people diligently working away in the service industry that makes this county so famous can’t afford to buy a home here. So, I guess you can look forward to pouring your own glass of cab. Oh wait, I can hear the chanting of certain lefty ideologues rising to a dull roar: “That’s what inclusionary housing is for!” Well, we’ve already got this county ordinance that’s supposed to be the fix. (Not that it’s working. I still live in the box I came in.) Currently, developers must either provide a certain number of low-income homes in developments or pay in-lieu fees under the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, with collected funds going to build low-income housing in the county. Whew! Am I right, tighty righties? You can blame those damn socialist Dems for being anti-business and heave a sigh of relieve as you raise your glass for that next taste of red. Lefties basically scored that point a while ago, and developers are footing the bill for your political leanings. But before you take that one for the long haul, there’s some maneuvering afoot now that the county Board of Supervisors has a majority of red-undy-wearing

conservatives—and there are whispers that the Homebuilders Association of the Central Coast is at the helm. But the sentiment is nothing new. Jeff Eckles, the executive director, admits his organization has “always been opposed to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. We’re all for below market [housing], just don’t put it on the back of new homeowners.” According to Eckles, when you force developers to pay for low-income housing, they’re forced to pass those costs onto new homebuyers. But doesn’t the market set home prices? In other words, doesn’t the county’s ordinance cut into homebuilders’ profits? Another option to fund low-income housing is to have municipalities pay for it with tax revenue, which was basically what 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson and 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill proposed earlier this year, to divert $5 million from the county budget for low-income housing. In other words, they suggested that instead of developers footing the bill, county taxpayers should pay to subsidize low-income housing. So, ya got three choices, ya see. Go blue, go red, or go home. Oh wait! That’s not true—there’s this thing called compromise. I know it’s crazy, but keep your pants on. Obviously we don’t want to make it so costly to build here that developers such as Gary Grossman of Coastal Community Builders, who’s behind

the San Luis Ranch housing project, decide it’s not worth developing here. But, shouldn’t all SLO County residents have to pay for those low-income folks who are also spending their hard-earned dollars in the local economy? People’s Self-Help Housing head John Fowler argues that the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance is an important tool and source of funding for low-income housing. He argues, “The model exists for this to not be us vs. them.” Basically—we could do both! Developers chip in a little, taxpayers chip in a little. Red bleeds into blue and becomes that muddy purple color some states become on Election Day. In other words, we all change the color of our undies and compromise.

Yes, it’s about housing! As I mentioned last week, B-17 replaces the controversial Rental Housing Inspection Program with the Non-Discrimination in Housing Ordinance, which asserts that nothing can be used to discriminate, but which

the SLO City Council said also means that city programs aimed to help those in need will be decimated because technically such programs “discriminate” in favor of low-income renters, the elderly, veterans, or the disabled. Here’s where the city blew it: It changed the wording of the proposed new ordinance as it was stated on the petition that brought on the special election. That’s a huge no-no. The petition, courtesy of former SLO Vice Mayor Dan Carpenter and local attorneys Stew Jenkins and Dan Knight, said B-17 would “repeal and replace” the old ordinance, but the city slyly added that the ordinance had already been repealed by the City Council. The discrepancy was brought to the attention of SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow by (surprise, surprise) local gadfly Kevin P. Rice, and in a letter to Rice, Dow, via Assistant DA Lee Cunningham, confirmed that the city “unlawfully altered the initiative,” though not to the level of “criminal” action. It was just a mistake, an oversight, a mishap, see? Hence, the DA suggested that if Rice wanted to pursue it further, “a civil action may be your only remedy.” So, you know, get a lawyer and spend the money to pursue if you want, buster, ’cause we ain’t doing nothing. Surprise, surprise. Sometimes, it feels like nothing is all government is good for. ∆

“Come for the weather, stay for the rocks”

Spay Or Neuter Your Pets! Spaying or neutering your pet is often referred to as having them "fixed" There are many benefits to having your dog or cat "fixed." They include: • Decreasing the chances of your pet roaming the neighborhood • In males, there is no chance for testicular cancer • In females, there is no chance for ovarian cancer • Other reproductive related cancers (such as mammary cancer) are greatly reduced • Spayed and neutered animals live longer, healthier lives

Old wives tales exist about pets gaining weight after being fixed, or them not being as affectionate. Neither of these beliefs are true. Pets do not gain weight because they are fixed. Pets gain weight because of diet and lack of exercise. Pets that are spayed or neutered are just as affectionate after being fixed, as they were before. Remember, it is a small one time cost that provides many benefits and can help avoid many expensive health issues.

Artifacts A little more soul BY HAYLEY THOMAS CAIN

Picture-perfect Christmas

As the annual Holiday Parade in SLO draws closer, the hunt for the next Norman Rockwell of the Central Coast begins. Downtown SLO is seeking an artist or graphic artist with fine art skills to produce the artwork for the annual holiday poster for the parade’s theme of “Holiday Hoedown.” The poster is the most visible public element of the event, with several hundred placed in establishments around the county. The image is also used on the Holiday Happenings poster, advertising for the Holiday Parade, and other signage. Downtown SLO will be accepting design proposals through Aug. 10 at 4 p.m. Visit downtownslo.com for more information and to apply.

Art for the heart

Explore healing through painting at Strokes for Stroke at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center. The event is Aug. 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Strokes for Stroke is a program of the American Heart and the American Stroke Association, and encourages stroke survivors to participate in stroke rehabilitation through art. This creative class, led by a local artist, helps those recovering from a stroke by stimulating brain function and improving hand-eye coordination. All levels of skill and mobility are invited to participate. Anyone interested in participating in the class should call 844-316-0276 for more information and to register.

Live on the small screen

Combine your favorite shows with local performance art Aug. 4 and 5 at Suspended Motion in SLO. The studio’s As Seen on TV summer aerial showcase features a stellar summer lineup planned with popular TV shows in mind. Look for sci-fi thrillers, reality TV, medical dramas, and even some throwbacks to TV classics. Tickets are $15 for adults or $10 for kids, seniors, and students. Admission is free for little ones who share. Goodies are gratis. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for first come, first serve seating. A recording of the show goes live at 7 p.m. Visit suspendedmotion.net for more information. ∆ —Ryah Cooley

Mobile SoulCycle DJ trike aims to transform SLO’s public spaces

old any vinyl record in your hand—say, James Brown’s 1963 release Live at the Apollo—and you’ll see visible grooves in the shiny surface. When a needle hits those peaks and valleys at 33 1/3 RPM, a beautiful thing happens. A warm, rich sound suddenly blares to life, with all its delicious imperfections and pops. Not unlike the crackling of a campfire, a good vinyl record has the ability to bring humans closer together, both on the dance floor and in the living room. This is exactly why SLO DJ Gil Braga (aka DJ Mano Gil) fell in love with records in the fist place. Now, the Brazilian-born world music buff wants to take the fascination one step further. His unique Indiegogo campaign asks friends and neighbors: “Could a mobile DJ experience help to create more community in SLO’s underutilized outdoor public spaces?” According to Braga, SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon and key members of the city Parks and Recreation Department have already answered with a resounding, “Yes.” But how? Enter SoulCycle, a customized electric tricycle fitted with a mobile DJ setup: two turntables, mixer, and speakers—plus a handy umbrella to keep harsh sun off the fragile hunks of wax. Braga’s crowd funding campaign—which asks for $4,700—will end on Aug. 22, and as of mid-July, stood at nearly 30 percent of the flexible goal. Thanks to the initial surge in support, the local teacher has already been able to obtain the project’s most expensive item, a $2,600 E3 CO electric tricycle from SoCal company IZIP. With help from partner and Foothill Cyclery owner Josh Cohen, the machinery will receive a full custom overhaul inspired by Montreal-based TupiCollective. Thanks to a 350 watt motor and a 48v lithium battery, the mobile DJ unit will have the ability to zip all across bike-friendly SLO, stopping at parks, sidewalks, and other community spaces. “San Luis Obispo is one of the most bike friendly cities in America, with several public

spaces that are not always used to their full potential at times,” Braga explained on his Indiegogo page. “This project aims to provide an extra bit of diversity to our already vibrant music scene by bringing music to where people are. We expect the impact to be almost immediate. People of all ages and social walks will be able to congregate, meet new friends, build new community relationships, and share the public spaces in a healthy and rich way.” In other words, this isn’t a pretentious operation reserved only for the vinyl collecting set. Braga fondly remembers growing up in urban Brazil and enjoying the shared community of public spaces. All walks of life and age groups would mingle outside in parks and on promenades, where pickup soccer games were plenty and conversation surged. If Braga wasn’t kicking a soccer ball, he was usually on his bicycle waving as he went. “Everybody knew me as the kid being raised by his grandparents, and I always had this sense of community, even in a big city. I always liked cities—the mobility, the proximity with neighbors. As a kid, I was really into world cultures and, at 13, started studying English on my own,” Braga said. Obsessed with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, Braga resolved to someday come to America (thanks to a YMCA exchange program, he made his first visit in 1995 at the age of 19). This love affair with the U.S. continued, and Braga moved to SLO in 2009 after spending a few years in LA. He now considers himself both a SLOcal and a “citizen of the world.” “The more we know our neighbors, the more we can understand and appreciate each other. Music can help create those bridges and strengthen the community as a whole,” the DJ said.

SLO SOULCYCLE Local DJ Gil Braga is asking for support from friends and neighbors to fund a mobile DJ tricycle aimed at creating a sense of community in SLO’s underused public spaces.

The records Braga spins are a direct reflection of this ethos. You won’t hear Top 40 radio hits, but you may hear some Brazilian bossa nova or French yé-yé. The volume and the selection of songs planned for the SoulCycle experience will change depending on the mood and environment, ranging from jazz, soul, salsa, and other family friendly rhythms. As a father, soccer coach, teacher, and music lover, Braga said he aims to do his part to keep SLO vibrant for future generations. Indiegogo backing prizes include stickers, T-shirts, and tickets to a special launch party, but what SLO residents really stand to win is

bigger than all that. “Every time I DJ, and somebody comes to me and asks me a question, I get excited,” Braga said. “I like to spread knowledge, and I feel like music is knowledge. When you become interested in music from somewhere else, you become interested in that culture as well. If I’m spreading different types of music, I am also giving that person an opportunity to become richer culturally.” ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain is dusting off her records and throwing a listening party with her neighbors.

ONCE UPON A TIME Into The Woods Jr. ties together favorite characters from classic fairy tales into a lovely musical package.

A fairy tale smorgasbord SLO Rep’s young actors take the lead with Into The Woods Jr.

STOP I TRIPPIN’ Free up your space by advertising in a FREE space. Private parties can list

f the standard “and they lived happily ever after” bedtime story seems too pat, too easy, then Into the Woods Jr. might be just the thing for skeptical audiences with a soft spot for fairy tales. Written by James Lapine with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, the hit Broadway show has been adapted for young actors, like the aspiring thespians of San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre’s Academy of Creative Theatre, and is directed by Shelagh Garren (and yes, it has some plot differences from the 2014 Disney film with Meryl Streep), who opened the show July 21. The idea behind the story is simple, yet magical: Take a handful of beloved, classic fairy tale characters, converge their story lines, and have everybody

meet in the woods, where the majority of the show takes place. The set is a wondrous, dreamy place filled with two stories of trees with paper flowers climbing up them. There’s even some live trees whose branch and arm movements really add to the story’s more dramatic moments. The protagonists at the center of the plot are the baker (Jed Authier) and his wife (Alyssa Mickey), who long to have a child but have been unable to do so. Here’s the plot twist: A witch (Penny DellaPelle) has cursed them for something the baker’s long-dead parents did. Of course there’s a catch: They’ll be able to conceive a child if they find and give the witch a cow the color of milk, a cape the color of blood, hair the color of corn, and a golden slipper. Which sounds just about right, going by crazy fairy tale standards. This quest leads the baker and his wife, yup, you guessed it, straight into the woods. Authier and Mickey strike a balance as a believable couple that is loving but also quarrelsome as they embark on their ridiculous mission. On their journey they run into an impish Little Red (Serafina Regusci), who tries to swipe some free bread when she comes to the bakery to buy a loaf for grandma; a glum Jack (Sam Gomez), who really doesn’t want to part ways with his bestie the cow (acted with amazing emotional depth by Addisyn

If you have a penchant for the darker side of fairy tales on the road to happily ever after, fear not, Into The Woods Jr. has stuck to the, ahem, grimmer roots of the original stories, complete with deception, child abuse, murder, and physical mutilation—all without being too unbearably gory or visual while allowing the plot to move right long. Even if you don’t have kids or know any of the young actors in the show, SLO Repertory Theatre’s rendition of Into The Woods Jr. is worth seeing and will take you back to a time when a story could transport you to another world.

The wait is over The Tipsy Gypsies play an album release party for their new album Waiting

CLASS ACT The Tipsy Gypsies—(left to right) Brian Lanzone, Allan Dick, Hilary Langdon, Daryl VanDruff, and Forrestt Williams— play an album release party for Waiting, on July 29, at Luna Red.

eck yourselves in your most dapper Don Draper duds and head to Luna Red this Saturday, July 29, for the release of Waiting, The Tipsy Gypsies’ new 11-track album (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $20 at eventbrite.com). The evening, billed as Mad & Tipsy, promises to be a classy night of music starting with opening act Brass Mash. Your admission also includes paella and free swag! Luna Red will be offering a one-night-only cocktail called The Tipsy Gypsy! Everything about the new album is classy, from the packaging, sound quality, musicianship, and songs. The cover depicts a moody monochromatic shot of lead singer Hilary Langdon under lamplight near the SLO train station. “Our album cover was inspired by some Blue Note album covers: Sonny Rollins’ Vol. 2, Coltrane’s Blue Train, or Bill Evans’ Undercurrent,” Langdon said via

email. “We also plan on releasing a short run of vinyl in the coming months, and we liked the thought of that shot on an album cover.” On Waiting, the band’s sound has expanded beyond Django Reinhardtstyle gypsy jazz. “To Keep” sounds like earnest straight-up folk pop, “Getting’ Ready” is an instrumental (with some haunting “woo ooo” vocal gymnastics) that would be right at home on a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack, and the title track “Waiting” has a doo-wop feel like a Grease soundtrack outtake. There’s some perfectly chosen covers—Tom Waits’ “Jockey Full of Bourbon,” Johnny Stimson’s “So Good,” and local gal Reese Galido’s “Don’t Waste Your Time”—as well as two songs with a guest lyricist and a really great pre-war blues-style closer called “Like He Do.” The album is tied together more by the PHOTO COURTESY OF THE FIXX

band’s signature instrumentation and sound than genre this time around. How did they decide on the music? “We’ve been widening our tastes lately, and getting excited about all the good music out there,” guitarist Forrestt Williams explained via email. “I love gypsy jazz, and still play regularly with other groups, but our sound has morphed into a broad combination of our influences, all mixed up, while retaining our ‘sound.’ Like, for instance, while playing at Live Oak [Music Festival] recently, and playing with other musicians at the late night camp jams, it was obvious to us that the core musicality of our group is cross-genre. And a big part of the credit goes to the band— Daryl VanDruff (drums), Brian Lanzone (bass), Allan Dick (violin), and Reese Galido (backup vocals)—a great lineup of musicians that gel really well live and PHOTO COURTESY OF FRANKIE VALLI

help define our sound. And Reese Galido wrote a song for us with us specifically in mind that works great for our sound!” “I suppose the album represents change,” Langdon said. “We’ve been waiting for this album for a long time. Right after we started recording Waiting my boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer, and then Forrestt got married and we just had to put the album on hold for a while. That actually gave us some time to write a couple of more songs! Our album started out as a short four to five song EP. ‘To Keep’ and ‘Waiting’ came pretty fluidly after I had been listening to a lot of Gary Clark Jr. and Leon Bridges. They came naturally. Usually it takes at least a few days to write a song; these ones came out in a couple of hours, and then Forrestt came in with some dynamic ideas when it came to breaks and bridges.” Most of the songs were co-written by Langdon and Williams, but on two they brought in a guest lyricist, Sharaya Olmeda. “Sharaya is my wife!” Williams said. “She’s a published poet, and when we needed more songs to record, Hilary asked her to write us some lyrics. She had not tried her hand at writing song lyrics before, but sat down and wrote both songs, ‘Flood’ and ‘Drought,’ in one evening. We loved the words, so Hilary and I sat down and wrote music to accompany them. Sharaya is the best, and I love her like crazy!” It’s a great album! Langdon’s voice has never sounded better, especially on “Waiting.” It’s got a bell-like quality with amazing control. You can read a longer interview online at newtimesslo.com. Looks like I’m going to have to pull my suit out of the closet because I don’t want to miss this party. See you Saturday night!

Our catalogue is connected; our viewpoint as a collective has always been socially driven. With the internet, things sped up, and we were able to get feedback quicker and became closer with our fan base. We’ve been so thankful to hear from people who let us know our music made a difference in their life.

There are only a few more days of the 2017 California Mid-State Fair. It’ll probably be a madhouse up there this Thursday, July 27, because of the Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood shows (7:30 and 10:30 p.m.; all ages; $79.98), but unless you already have tickets or are willing to drop a small fortune on a scalper, you’re not going. That same night you can see The Beatles tribute act The Fab Four on the Fort Frontier Stage (6:30 and 8:30 p.m.; all ages; free).

There’ll also be a barbecue dinner prepared by the Nipomo Men’s Club, a silent auction, a raffle, and a no-host bar. The center “provides a unique destination to understand life in the California Rancho era and to discover the stories of those who left their footprints on the land throughout time. The Dana Adobe, and the 130 acres of preserved land, engage the visitor in the site’s ecological and cultural history and reveals how actions over time shape our future,” according to their website. Stamey is a six-time Entertainer of the Year, six-time Male Performer of the Year, and five-time Songwriter of the Year by the Western Music Association, and received the Will Rogers Award from the Academy of Western Artists. He’s a great entertainer!

Sweet Springs Saloon gets sweeter

Los Osos music and cocktail fans will have something to celebrate come early October. That’s when ASH Management, which owns Creeky Tiki, McCarthy’s Irish Pub, the Frog and Peach, Milestone Tavern, Shell Beach Brewhouse, and five other SLO County watering holes, will reopen Sweet Springs Saloon, which they’re buying in mid-August. After an extensive cleaning and the addition of some windows to “brighten the place up,” according to ASH’s Bill Hales, the venerated Los Osos bar will reopen with an upgraded cocktail menu and a recommitment to live music. Hales said they’ll do some in-house booking as well as continue to work with promoters like Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents. “We absolutely are going to be bringing entertainment back, more so than they’re doing now,” Hales added. “We’re friends with Todd [Newman] from Good Medicine.” Patrons can even expect some food selections since the bar is equipped with small commercial kitchen. “First and foremost the place needs a little bit of love put back into it,” Hales said. “There are a lot of young professionals or young families in Los Osos who don’t necessarily want to drive back to SLO, so we’ll upgrade the cocktail programs to something more contemporary.” Don’t worry, old timers. You can still get a Jack & Coke. ASH also plans to reinvigorate some of Sweet Springs’ old traditions such as the annual Bloody Mary contest. “We may even bring back the Doorman Competition, which I won two years in a row back in the late-’80s,” Hales said. The Cal Poly grad worked his way through college while working at Bull’s Tavern, another ASH property.

Epic! W

riter-director Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar) helms this historical drama about the World War II evacuation of Dunkirk, when allied forces from Belgium, the British Empire, Canada, and France were surrounded by the German army between May 26 to June 4, 1940. Civilians in fishing, merchant marine, and pleasure boats valiantly came to their rescue. (106 min.) Glen Nolan wastes no time dropping you into the action, though he begins his film deceptively with a group of soldiers walking nonchalantly through a seemingly deserted village. You see one man finding a few drops of water from a coiled garden hose with no water pressure, another finding a cigarette butt in an ashtray through an open window. There’s no dialogue, just some boys trying to find their way to the rear of the combat theater. Then shots ring out and they’re scrambling. The camera follows one in particular, Tommy (Fionn Whitehead), who eventually finds the beach where other Brits and Frenchmen are awaiting evacuation. Later we cut to Mr. Dawson (Mark Rylance) as he prepares his pleasure craft to travel to Dunkirk as part of the civilian evacuation flotilla, accompanied by his son, Peter (Tom Glynn-Carney), and local 17-yearold boy, George (Barry Keoghan), who promises to be “useful.” They’re part of the extraordinary group of civilians who helped evacuate some of the 300,000 soldiers saved from Dunkirk. Finally we’re in the cockpit with Farrier (Tom Hardy), who with two other pilots

is tasked with flying to Dunkirk to help the evacuating soldiers with air support, dog fighting with enemy aircraft trying to bomb and strafe fleeing boats. Throughout the film, we revisit these three situations—land, sea, and air—each telling their small, personal stories in service to the whole, like individual pieces of a mosaic that compose a masterpiece, which I would argue Nolan has created. It’s a masterful depiction of war from the perspectives of those who were there, and it’s frightening and terrible to behold. Anna The beach is a torturous purgatory for the soldiers, home almost within sight across the water and enemies picking them off while they wait for boats to arrive to save them. Nolan’s brilliant interweaving of each person’s own intense journey is paired with an incredible score by Hans Zimmer; the combination makes every moment of the film feel important, big or small. Nolan doesn’t overindulge in gore, though death and danger invade the beach like an incoming tide. Every time a destroyer is filled to the brim with soldiers desperate to get home, an air attack or torpedo sinks the giant ships, along with many lives and many hopes of ever seeing home again. I felt my own

desperation and fevered panic rising as hope after hope is dashed, especially for Tommy and the young group of soldiers he has allied himself with; they cannot catch a break and soon start to turn against each other. Each individual storyline has its own desperate struggles, and the way they are woven together leads to a brilliant and tear-jerking end. I agree with your assessment of the film as a masterpiece. Nolan hit it out of the park with Dunkirk. Glen I’m glad you mentioned Zimmer’s score. For me, this score ranks up there with the best Bernard Herrmann scores like those from Hitchcock’s Psycho and Vertigo. It adds such intensity to the scenes. I thought the casting was especially good too. Aside from Hardy and Rylance, the only other actors I was familiar with were Harry Styles as Alex, James D’Arcy as Col. Winnant, and Kenneth Branagh as Cmdr. Bolton—most of these faces are unfamiliar, and bouncing from story to story, often not getting names, added to the realism. These were the faces of war— interchangeable pawns, fodder for gunfire. One other recognizable actor was Cillian Murphy, cast as the “Shivering Soldier.” He’s rescued from a foundering ship by Mr. Dawson, Peter, and George. Shell shocked

LAND We watch as Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) desperately tries to get off the beach at Dunkirk and on a boat home.

and desperate to return home, he’s angrily aghast that they’re sailing back toward Dunkirk. What happens on that boat drives home the randomness of war, how it arbitrarily takes one man and not another. We also learn what drives Mr. Dawson, and so many others like him over those nine terrible days, to turn toward the danger, if only to save one more man—someone’s brother, son, or father. This film will rank up there with Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now, Black Hawk Down, and Full Metal Jacket as modern masterpieces. Anna I read that Hardy actually had less than 10 minutes of screen time in Dunkirk yet is the anchor for the portion of the film that takes place in the air. In less than 10 minutes, he becomes one of the principal heroes in the film. That’s pretty adept filmmaking if you ask me, especially considering his only lines are between himself and his two other pilots, and are minimal. I especially fell for the character of Mr. Dawson, a man who feels fear and accepts it and whose principled beliefs lead him to help, even if the path puts him and his son in danger. I personally think the moments spent on that small boat were some of the best in the film—a small situation standing alongside a much bigger one, and Mr. Dawson’s determination to help has a motivation whose story unravels in a heartbreaking way. Frankly, I walked out of the theater blown away by this film. Adeptly making both a war film and a film about individual lives is tricky, but Nolan’s method of interweaving stories of land, sea, and air is a perfect solution. His filmmaking along with Zimmer’s masterful scoring is a collaboration I hope to see again. That pairing along with some serious acting chops from the cast won me over with Dunkirk. Δ

To distract from the noise, he’s constantly got music playing through ear buds, choosing songs that are perfect for his task, whether that’s driving a getaway car from a heist or bopping through a neighborhood to grab coffee for the criminals Doc has gathered for the job. The film is mostly filled with amazing car chases, a foot chase just as exciting as the car chases, the aforementioned trip to gather coffee that plays like a music video, and a blisteringly good soundtrack. It’s a pretty irresistible combination, though I have to say the beginning of the film is more fun than the end. Yes, it’s

trying to set him up with in an arranged marriage, so she breaks things off. Later, she’s taken to the hospital and put into an induced coma due to an infection, and Kumail realizes he made a mistake letting her go, but now it may be too late. Ah love! It’s never easy as this bighearted charmer proves. But this is more than a based-on-real-life love story; it’s also an insightful treatise on what it means to be Muslim—or even perceived as Muslim—in America, as well as an examination of the Pakistani culture. Kumail was born in Pakistan, but he’s embraced American life wholeheartedly, much to the disappointment of his traditional parents, who believe arranged marriage to a Pakistani woman is imperative to both Kumail’s happiness

and their family’s honor. Of course, Kumail doesn’t see it that way. He doesn’t practice Islam or even know if he believes in Allah at all. He swears, drinks, and sleeps around—all of which he hides from his parents. To make a living, he’s an Uber driver, but his passion is stand-up, and he’s good! The film also looks at the behindthe-scenes world of stand-up comedy, and if you’ve seen the new Showtime series I’m Dying Up Here about the comedy scene in ’70s L.A., you’ll have an idea about what goes on. Deftly balancing comedy and drama, The Big Sick threads a direct path between tears and laughter. It gave me the biggest laugh I’ve had in a film in a long time, and MOVIES continued page 41

Arts MOVIES from page 39 I was stifling back sobs at the moving story. I loved it! Of all the solid performances, Holly Hunter’s stands out. In fact, she’s so amazingly good that she reminds you that Nanjiani and Ray Romano, as Emily’s dad Terry, are acting. There’s something very natural about her portrayal, and her character arc—how she warms to Kumail—giving the film more depth than it would have otherwise. Even though Romano isn’t a great actor, he’s well cast here, with his hangdog expression and deadpan delivery. Terry and Beth have marriage troubles of their own, but one of the things the story drives home is that love is a choice and that families depend on one another. Beth and Terry grow closer through Emily’s illness. I don’t know how accurate the story is, but in the closing credits, we get to see photos of Nanjiani’s real-life parents. It was a reminder of how lucky it is to have a close, supportive family. A couple of weeks ago, I saw and reviewed Maudie, another great love story. The beauty of film is there are so many ways to portray love, which is both the simplest and most complex thing humans express. When the screening ended at The Palm, the audience burst into applause, and this film is worthy. What a crowd pleaser! (120 min.) —Glen Starkey

Increasingly unmoored, the ghost embarks on a cosmic journey through memory and history, confronting life’s ineffable questions and the enormity of existence. (87 min.) —Ideaman Studios

BLAST FROM THE chunk of their lives and sometimes even their own career ambitions, to support the men they loved and raise their families, only to be cruelly abandoned when they hit their mid-40s. Empowered by their newly strengthened friendship, Annie, Brenda, and Elise team up and map out ways to extract revenge against each of their ex-husbands. And before you think this is some man-haters film, there are plenty of awesome male characters like Brenda’s boss/gay BFF Duarto Feliz (Bronson Pinchot) and her uncle Carmine (Phillip Bosco) who actively support the female leads. We always get oh so charming reminders of the female struggle to have it all through lines like, “You are married. You have a daughter. You don’t need self-esteem,” and, “You’re 46, a woman your age has a better chance of getting murdered by a psychopath [than meeting someone new],” both of which are delivered totally deadpan by Catherine (Eileen Heckart), Annie’s mom. At one point the song “Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves” by Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin plays during a getting-shit-done montage. The movie pokes at the all-tooreal struggles women face, while also celebrating all we can do. Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of now President Donald Trump, makes an appearance toward the end of the movie, sagely reminding the ladies, “We have to be strong and independent. Don’t get mad, get everything.” (103 min.) Δ —Ryah Cooley

UNDER COVER In Atomic Blonde, two agents form an uneasy alliance to protect the West’s intelligence operation as the collapse of the Berlin Wall draws near.

MAUDIE

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? The Palm Aisling Walsh (Joyriders, Song for Raggy Boy, The Daisy Chain) directs this screenplay by Sherry White (The Breadmaker, Down to the Dirt, Crackie) about arthritic Nova Scotia painter Maud Dowley (Sally Hawkins), who after having her family home sold out from under her by her brother takes up housekeeping work for Everett Lewis (Ethan Hawke). Eventually the two find romance as Maudie hones her naïve but charming folk painting style, eventually becoming a community icon. First and foremost, this is a love story, albeit a very unconventional one. Because of Maudie’s affliction, her family—brother Charles (Zachary Bennett) and her aunt Ida (Gabrielle Rose)—believes she’s incapable of taking care of herself, but Maudie has an indomitable spirit, and rather than live under her aunt’s thumb, she answers an ad for a housekeeper. Everett is a 40-year-old bachelor, taciturn, illiterate, and proud. He’s a hard worker who sells fish door-to-door, cuts and sells wood, removes trash, and works in the orphanage where he was raised. He’s pretty hard to like at first, and though he reluctantly hires Maudie, he treats her poorly. “It’s me, these dogs, those chickens, and then you,” he informs her of the pecking order. They live in a one-room shack, sharing a bed in a sleeping loft. As a form of escape and a way of celebrating the beauty she sees around her, she paints on any surface she can find, including old card stock, painting little postcard scenes that she sells for a few pennies. These are beautifully rendered characters by screenwriter Sherry White, and while autobiographical, from what I’ve read about Maud and Everett, she may have taken some liberties. Everett is written as being very dismissive of Maud’s work, when in fact, in real life he encouraged her to paint. If you’re looking for historical accuracy, this probably isn’t quite right, but as a story of two people coming to realize they love and need each other, it’s exceedingly beautiful. Tissues recommended!

Pick

The acting is uniformly excellent, with Hawkins twisting her body and face into a knotted mess. She does a very fine job of embodying Maudie, depicting her strong spirit and resilience. Hawke, too, is excellent, playing Everett as a stiff and angry brute who softens to Maud. His Everett longs to be close to someone, but as an orphan and bachelor, he has no experience. Vacationing New Yorker Sandra (Kari Matchett) takes an interest in Maudie’s work, and helps build her confidence, and the entire story takes place over several decades, from the late ’30s to 1970 when Maud dies. The small fishing village becomes a character as well, and its seasonal changes move from a fly-infested summer to an unforgiving winter. The people who live there are tough and sometimes gossipy and cruel, and it all feels like real life—the highest compliment I can pay a film. (115 min.) —Glen Starkey

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy This new Spider-Man film picks up a few months after the events of Captain America: Civil War, which chronicled the rift between Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). This time around, Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) and the federal government create the Department of Damage Control (D.O.D.C.), which inadvertently drives Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) out of business, leading him to become the villain Vulture. Meanwhile Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns to his studies after Stark tells him he’s not ready to be an Avenger, but that doesn’t stop Peter from pursuing his crime fighting endeavors. This sixth installment in the Spider-Man franchise is directed by Jon Watts (Clown, Cop Car) with a screenplay by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (Horrible Bosses, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs). They’ve hit the sweet spot in this Spider-Man reboot, mixing great action sequences with a funny high school

coming-of-age story that humanizes Peter Parker, delivers a multilayered villain (Keaton), and keeps the laughs coming mostly at Peter’s expense. Peter and his bestie Ned (Jacob Batalon) are the nerdiest nerds in a tech-centric magnet school filled with nerds. Their idea of a fun time is putting together Ned’s new 3,000-plus-piece Lego Death Star. They eat lunch alone except for outsider Michelle (Zendaya), a brooding member of the academic decathlon team. Peter pines for Liz (Laura Harrier), the leggy captain of the team, but she seems vastly out of his league. Meanwhile, everyone thinks Peter is a bit of a flake, since he’s always disappearing due to the demands of his Stark Enterprises internship—his cover for low level crime fighting. He wants nothing more than to be accepted as an Avenger, but Stark thinks he’s too green. Even so, Stark’s supplied Peter with a high-tech Spider-Man suit, which has enhanced his abilities, but he’s hindered from doing much other than stopping bike snatchers by Happy Hogan (John Fanreau), Stark’s right hand man who’s been tasked with keeping Peter safe from real harm. Happy is clearly annoyed by Peter’s earnestness, so there’s some fun chemistry in the way Peter and Happy grate on one another. The real excitement begins when Peter catches wind of a criminal gang led by Vulture, who is selling weapons made of alien technology to street criminals. Stark wants to leave Vulture and his henchmen for the FBI, but Peter can’t take no for an answer, which sets-up the estrangement between Stark and him, as well as the Staten Island ferry set-piece seen in the film’s trailer. It’s a very engaging story with a wholly likeable protagonist. In contrast to the charm of Peter and Ned is Adrian Toomes, who we initially sympathize with since his salvage company is destroyed when Stark and the feds team up to create the D.O.D.C., which strips the government cleanup contract out from under Toomes’ company, putting his and all his employees’ livelihoods at risk. He decides since the government changed the rules on him, the rules no longer apply. He and his men begin stealing alien technology, creating weapons out of it, and selling it on the black market. Keaton is fantastic, and we see Toomes change from indignant victim to ruthless killer, yet he still retains humanity because his goal is to provide for his family. As villains go, Vulture is a complex and interesting one, and Keaton plays him with irreverent menace—he’s crossed the line and there’s no going back. As comic book hero films go, this is a great one! (133 min.) —Glen Starkey

MOVIES from page 41 of good films, a few truly excellent ones, and a lot of fun, creative, but ultimately slight flicks, which is where I’d rank Valerian. It’s not terrible, it looks fantastic, and it bears Besson’s deep creativity, but in addition to the overcomplicated plot and the bloated story at nearly two hours and twenty minutes, the film is seriously miscast. DeHaan simply doesn’t exude the roguish charm the Valerian character demands, and Delevingne doesn’t have the toughness and feminism to embody Laureline. You know who would have made this film sing? Raiders of the Lost Ark-era Harrison Ford and Karen Allen, that’s who! DeHaan and Delevingne don’t have the chemistry or delivery to pull off the banter Besson has constructed for the duo. The story’s conflict revolves around a peaceful species of humanoids living in harmony with nature on their beachy planet, where they rejuvenate the environment by offering tribute through feeding a curious little creature a pearl harvested from their pristine seas. The creature then spills out dozens more of the energy-filled pearls. Valerian sees all this in a dream, which ends violently with the planet’s destruction. Who destroyed their planet and why? That’s what the film slowly (and I mean s l o w l y) reveals, touching on environmental themes, the rights of indigenous people, and imperialism. It gets unnecessarily preachy and didactic at the end. Meanwhile, we’re supposed to be caring about the so-called romance between Valerian and Laureline, which never rings true. But let’s talk a minute about why this film

might be worth seeing in the theater: Rihanna. The pop star offers a remarkable song and dance performance that’s mesmerizing. Even though as it began it seemed like a huge, unnecessary tangent, it turned out to be central to the plot. Rihanna stars as Bubble, a shapeshifting species being pimped out by a huckster named Jolly (Ethan Hawke, having a blast!). She and Valerian have to team up in the end to try to save Laureline. It’s really the film’s highlight. As a visual feast, this film delivers, and if that’s enough for you, pony up your ticket money and go, but in the grand scheme of Besson’s frequently remarkable oeuvre, Valerian will probably remain a footnote.

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy Matt Reeves (The Pallbearer, Cloverfield, Let Me In) directs and co-writes with Mark Bomback (Live Free or Die Hard, The Wolverine) this third film in the rebooted series that is preceded by Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014). Commencing about two years after the events of Dawn, Caesar’s (Andy Serkis) clan of apes is at war with a human military faction called Alpha-Omega led by a ruthless commander known as the Colonel (Woody Harrelson). The survival of each species is at stake.

Pick

Computer generated images and “performance capture” actor Andy Serkis are once again the stars of the show in what is essentially an anti-war movie in the vein of Platoon or Apocalypse Now. The technology on display is pretty amazing, with Caesar and the other ape characters delivering the sort of subtle facial expressions and complex emotions normally requiring actual human beings rather than computer generated animated constructs. It’s not that I ever forgot I was looking at CGI, it’s just that it’s done so well I found myself fascinated by its quality. Caesar wants nothing more than to live peacefully away from the remaining humans, who we discover are losing their ability to speak due to the simian virus. Harrelson’s Colonel takes a page out of Brando’s performance as Kurtz from Apocalypse Now—a man gone crazy by war who believes he’s the only one with the mental clarity to see the truth, in his case, the belief than humans who can’t speak are no longer human and must be exterminated before they can spread their affliction. In short, humans are losing their humanity simultaneously as apes are gaining theirs. Naturally we’re rooting for Caesar in the face of the Colonel’s merciless worldview, and the film gets its heart and soul from the idea that he can behave more humanely than the humans he encounters. Yet, even Caesar struggles to overcome his baser instincts. He’s haunted by nightmares of Koba, a gorilla from Dawn of the Planets of the Apes that succumbed to his dark side. Likewise, Caesar finds himself consumed by hatred after so many of his clan—including family members—are murdered by the Colonel.

Much of the film is about his own internal struggle to do the right thing. It’s a very human and moral story, an allegory about a world gone mad, consumed with hatred, a world at war with difference—where intolerance and a refusal to coexist threatens to burn everything to the ground. At two hours and 20 minutes, it’s a bit overloaded, but for a blockbuster franchise, it avoids the pitfalls of the Pirates of the Caribbean and Transformers franchises by actually trying to expand its message rather than merely repeating it ad nauseam.

ucked away off Avila Beach Drive, marijuana smoke wafts into the breeze on a beautiful Saturday in July. I’m standing in the middle of a dirt patch on Monte Road, and the SLO Cannabis Cup hosted by SLO County NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) is just beginning. While cities such as Portland, Reno, and Denver have had cannabis expositions before, this is the first of its kind to hit the Central Coast. Local marijuana growers and collectives are gathering to showcase their best and smoke out the competition, but I’m here to sample the buffet. There’s a subtle irony in the weather. It’s a clear, sunny day—ideal smoking conditions—but the gentle wind makes it difficult to spark a lighter. Sitting in the dead grass, I retreat my face inside of my friend’s backpack to light a bowl. A reggae band is just beginning to play, and we’ve sat down to take a moment to brace ourselves for the long, stoney day ahead.

With plenty of water and snacks on hand, we’re ready to take on the cup. We’re waiting to enter the main area, and I laugh as I see that several people are dressed in their marijuana-themed best. Garlands of fake (and real) marijuana leaves adorn the necks of a few attendees, while others sport socks, T-shirts, and hats stamped with colorful pot-leaf prints. Inside, there’s even more people (and critters) dressed to match the theme, including an adorable French bulldog in a shirt that reads, “I love Weed!” (Although it was referring to Weed, Calif., I believe it still applies here.) At first glance, the cluster of pop-up tents intimidates me. With the myriad marijuana booths before me, how will I last for more than an hour without falling asleep? As I make my way around to test out every flower, concentrate, and edible I can get my hands on, I can’t help but notice how friendly everyone is. People of various ages, styles, and smoking preferences are gathering for the love of Mary, and everyone seems pretty happy to be doing so. Maybe we’re all just stoned out of our minds, but either way, I’m enjoying meeting such friendly folks.

I didn’t expect to be getting some of the best customer service I’ve had in a while at the Cannabis Cup either, which is a plus. When I go shopping, I want the sales associate who’s knowledgeable but not overbearing in their approach, which can be difficult to find. Every vendor here is especially kind, genuine, and eager to educate the attendees on cannabis, and I feel very comfortable asking questions. Plus, I can’t think of another industry that’s given me as many free goodies, definitely an extra bonus. With THC-infused snacks all over the place, the only problem is deciding which to try first, or in what order. From truffles to dog treats, there is something here for every palate. Cannabis-infused drinks, elotes, Rice Krispy treats, cookies, and assorted chocolates are all present. I even got a hibiscus bath bomb infused with 100 milligrams of THC. My personal favorites of the day are desserts: a mango sorbet popsicle from Yesca Bros Creamery and a vegan dark chocolate tart topped with raspberries made by Baceae Cannabis Confections.

H AYLEY’S BITES SUMMER FLING Go wild: Margarita Adventures (the same folks who combined wine tasting at Ancient Peaks tasting room and ziplining) is now offering kayak and wildlife tours of their gorgeous Margarita Ranch property. See vineyards, forests, and perhaps even an eagle or two on this rustic adventure made even better by a subsequent glass of cab (margarita-adventures. com) … Wine shop/craft workshop/hip hangout The Station SLO is hosting its two year anniversary party this July 29 from 3 to 9 p.m. with live music, DJs, delicious food from Bear and the Wren, worldly wines and more (visit on Facebook for updates). Happy anniversary y’all and thanks for keeping SLO eclectic.

WORD ON THE STREET But first, coffee: Did you know Bella Mundo in SLO has changed its name to Ascendo Coffee? Don’t worry. This sweet little coffee spot next to Boo Boo Records still offers up all the specialty iced coffees and homemade treats you crave this summer! … I know that last week I introduced the fact that a new chef had joined the Villa Creek Restaurant in Paso Robles, but things change fast! Turns out this beloved business is shuttering its doors after 19 years of farm-to-table flavor. We salute you for all the fine meals and cocktails! Follow the former restaurant owners on Instagram @villacreekcellars for an exploration into the world of local farm-to-bottle wine.

CLINK CLINK! Shake it up: Looking for a refreshing summer adult beverage that isn’t fi lled with weird chemicals? Yes Cocktail Company of Paso Robles is churning out 100 percent natural mixers, syrups, and more

FLAVOR from page 46

That’s what Paso peeps are hoping for, too. The Fox will represent an intimate venue experience—one that will serve as a much-needed middle ground between the massive Vina Robles Amphitheater and cozy downtown tasting rooms. Although plans are still in the works and an opening date is far off, Monica said there will probably be delicious drinks available in the future. I mean, c’mon. It’s Paso Robles. Perhaps that will look like craft beer, cocktails, wine, or flights—the sky’s the limit and details will continue roll in. One thing’s for sure: Whether you’re 21 or 81, the Fox Theatre has a way of capturing the imagination and igniting the senses. “It has a really great vibe; I mean, the building has cool bones,” Monica said. “The marquee is just so beautiful—people feel immediately connected to it. It’s been sitting there for 30 years, and now we all want to see it come back to life.” Δ

H AYLEY’S P ICKS Because ice cream fixes everything

Did you know that we are living in the golden age of craft ice cream, people? If this is news to you, run—don’t walk—to the Negranti Creamery ice cream truck, which has been popping up all across SLO County this summer, including wineries, events, and happenings (follow @Negranticreamery on Instagram to find out where this cute vintage milk truck is parking next). Made with milk from the Negranti family’s own sustainably farmed and locally raised ewes, this sheep’s milk delight comes in all manner of lickable flavors: blackberry-vanilla-rosemary, black coffee, strawberry-basil, and salted brown sugar among them. Word on the street: This Central Coast favorite is opening its own brick-and-mortar scoop shop later this summer in Paso Robles’ Tin City! We’ll keep you updated. Until then, remember: sunburned noses, skinned knees, political unrest ... all of these things can be at least soothed with a hefty scoop of frosty, thick sheep’s milk ice cream.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Make a prediction about where you'll be and what you'll be doing on Jan. 1, 2020. Testify at freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you feeling as daring about romance as I suspect? If so, I’ve composed a provocative note for you to give to anyone you have good reason to believe will be glad to receive it. Feel free to copy it word-for-word or edit it to suit your needs. Here it is: “I want to be your open-hearted explorer. Want to be mine? We can be in foolishly cool drooling devotion to each other’s mighty love power. We can be in elegant solid-gold allegiance to each other’s genius. Wouldn’t it be fun to see how much liberation we can whip up together? We can play off our mutual respect as we banish the fearful shticks in our bags of tricks. We can inspire each other to reach unexpected heights of brazen intelligence.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You still have a wound that never formed a proper scar. (We’re speaking metaphorically here.) It’s chronically irritated. Never quite right. Always stealing bits of your attention. Would you like to do something to reduce the distracting power of that annoying affliction? The next 25 days will be a favorable time to seek such a miracle. All the forces of nature and spirit will conspire in your behalf if you formulate a clear intention to get the healing you need and deserve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his poem “The Initiate,” Charles Simic speaks of “someone who solved life’s riddles in a voice of an ancient Sumerian queen.” I hope you’re not focused on seeking help and revelations from noble and grandiose sources like that, Gemini. If you are, you may miss the useful cues and clues that come your way via more modest informants. So please be alert for the blessings of the ordinary. As you work on solving your quandaries, give special attention to serendipitous interventions and accidental luck.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): For many years, the Tobe Zoological Park in China housed a “praying panther” named Ato. The large black feline periodically rose up on her hind legs and put her paws together as if petitioning a higher power for blessings. I suggest we make her your spirit ally in the coming weeks. I hope she’ll inspire you to get your restless mind out of the way as you seek to quench your primal needs. With the praying panther as your muse, you should be able to summon previously untapped reserves of your animal intelligence and cultivate an instinctual knack for knowing where to find raw, pristine satisfaction.

To all interested persons: Petitioner: Brian Solwick & Nadine Solwick For a decree changing names as follows: PRESENT NAME: Brian Solwick; Nadine Solwick; Aidan Solwick; Cambria Solwick PROPOSED NAME: Brian Cheetah; Nadine Cheetah; Aidan Cheetah; Cambria Cheetah

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the four years he worked on painting the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo never took a bath. Was he too preoccupied with his masterpiece? Modern artist Pae White has a different relationship with obsession. To create her fabric art pieces, she has spent years collecting more than 3,500 scarves designed by her favorite scarfmaker. Then there’s filmmaker James Cameron, who hired an expert in linguistics to create an entire new language from scratch for the aliens in his movie Avatar. In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I approve of you summoning this level of devotion—as long as it’s not in service to a transitory desire, but rather to a labor of love that has the potential to change your life for the better for a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers,” wrote author James Baldwin. Even if you’re not an artist, I encourage you to make that your purpose in the coming weeks. Definitive answers will at best be irrelevant and at worst useless. Vigorous doubt and inquiry, on the other hand, will be exciting and invigorating. They will mobilize you to rebel against any status quos that have been tempting you to settle for mediocrity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in a phase of your cycle when the most useful prophecies are more lyrical than logical. So here you go: three enigmatic predictions to help stir up the creative ingenuity you’ll need to excel on your upcoming tests. 1. A darling but stale old hope must shrivel and wane so that a spiky, electric new hope can be born. 2. An openness to the potential value of a metaphorical death will be one of your sweetest assets. 3. The best way to cross a border is not to sneak across bearing secrets but to stride across in full glory with nothing to hide.

spaceship on my street and say they want to meet the creatures who best represent our planet, I will volunteer you Libras. Right now, at least, you’re nobler than the rest of us, and more sparkly, too. You’re dealing smartly with your personal share of the world’s suffering, and your day-to-day decisions are based more on love than fear. You’re not taking things too personally or too seriously, and you seem better equipped than everyone else to laugh at the craziness that surrounds us. And even if aliens don’t appear, I bet you will serve as an inspiring influence for more human beings than you realize. Does being a role model sound boring? I hope not. If you regard it as an interesting gift, it will empower you to wield more clout than you’re used to.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Do you really have to be the flashy king or charismatic queen of all you survey? Must all your subjects put on kneepads and prostrate themselves as they bask in your glory? Isn’t it enough for you to simply be the master of your own emotions, and the boss of your own time, and the lord of your own destiny? I’m not trying to stifle your ambition or cramp your enthusiasm; I just want to make sure you don’t dilute your willpower by trying to wield command over too wide a swath. The most important task, after all, is to manage your own life with panache and ingenuity. But I will concede this: The coming weeks will be a time when you can also probably get away with being extra worshiped and adored. (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dear Hard Worker: Our records indicate that you have been neglecting to allot yourself sufficient time to rest and recharge. In case you had forgotten, you are expected to take regular extended breaks, during which time it is mandatory to treat yourself with meticulous care and extreme tenderness. Please grant yourself an immediate dispensation. Expose yourself to intensely relaxing encounters with play, fun, and pleasure—or else! No excuses will be accepted.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian novelist James Joyce had a pessimistic view about intimate connection. Here’s what he said: “Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another’s soul.” My challenge to you, Aquarius—in accordance with the astrological omens is to prove Joyce wrong. Figure out how to make your soul virgin again so it can cast itself out into the ocean of another’s soul. The next eight weeks will be prime time to achieve that glorious feat. (Feb. 19-March 20): Years after he had begun his work as a poet, Rainer Maria Rilke confessed that he was still finding out what it took to do his job. “I am learning to see,” he wrote. “I don’t know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn’t stop where it once used to.” Given the current astrological omens, you have a similar opportunity, Pisces: to learn more about how to see. It won’t happen like magic. You can’t just sit back passively and wait for the universe to accomplish it for you. But if you decide you really would like to be more perceptive—if you resolve to receive and register more of the raw life data that’s flowing towards you—you will expand and deepen your ability to see. ∆
