SLOCOG staff recommends closing the El Campo intersection

PHOTO COURTESY OF JORDAN GRANT’S FACEBOOK MEMORIAL PAGE

T

he San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) staff is recommending that four intersections between Traffic Way and Los Berros Road along Highway 101 should close.

At a packed public outreach meeting on March 21, staff discussed the results of the second phase of the board’s $30,000 twostep assessment process to understand the implications of restricting left turns on this stretch of the highway.

Stephen Hanamaikai, transportation planner, said the study looked at the impact of closing four intersections—El Campo Road, a private un-named road, Tower Grove Drive, and Hemi Road—with concrete median barriers.

“The main findings were that by eliminating those turning movements at those crossings, it would greatly improve safety along that stretch of the 101 and reduce the possibility of high severity collisions,” Hanamaikai said.

Due to community input, he said, the report also looked into how the potential closures could affect emergency response times. According to the report, the nearest response station effectively maintains a 10-minute or less emergency response time and proposes having an access route for first responders.

“The California Highway Patrol has indicated that a soft at-grade access will be maintained on Highway 101 within the study area at a location yet to be determined. The soft access will allow law enforcement, fire/medical emergency responders, and Caltrans maintenance vehicles to cross and access the highway from either direction of travel,” the report stated.

The report also stated that the closures would only increase travel time for the surrounding

community by about two to seven minutes. Hanamaikai said staff will be taking their findings to the April 3 SLOCOG board meeting and will recommend that the board support the closure.

The two-step assessment was initiated after community members called for urgent shortterm and long-term solutions to El Campo Road following the death of Cal Poly student Jordan Grant. On Oct. 7, 2018, Grant was fatally struck by a BMW that was in the process of making an unsafe left turn at the intersection.

Grant’s parents, James and Becky Grant, who were at the March 21 public meeting, said the intersection closures are just one step in their commitment to help fi x the issue. The second step, James told New Times, would be to find a way to build an overpass in five years through accelerating the planning studies and finding a public and/or private partnership structure.

IN MEMORY The Grants continue to advocate for the closure James said that he started an of the El Campo Road intersection on Highway 101 where their alliance of landowners and others son Jordan Grant was killed in October 2018. in the area to work on expediting the planning of an overpass and “We believe we have overwhelming and offered a $100,000 gift as long as the local undeniable support for implementing these landowners join him in the effort. He and Becky have also offered the city of Arroyo Grande up to public safety improvements as quickly as $50,000 to offset incremental costs they incur as possible,” James said. Δ a result of the partial closure.

York Mountain cannabis project nixes outdoor grow to shed appeal

A medical cannabis cultivation project in rural west Templeton overcame its contentious neighborhood appeal on March 26 by agreeing to drastically reduce the size of the operation.

Applicants for the project on 77 acres of agricultural land near York Mountain Road canceled plans for a 3-acre outdoor grow, moved its greenhouses, and made other tweaks to capitulate to the demands of area residents, led

by Ian McPhee, who had concerns about its odor and other impacts.

“We’re down to one-seventh of what we started with,” said Jamie Jones, who represented applicant Laura Gardner and property owners Frank Ricigliano and Sue Sullivan at a SLO County Board of Supervisors hearing on March 26.

SLO County supervisors, who have discussed the appeal three times since February, unanimously approved the scaled-down project.

The approval came at the tail end of the meeting, after the board took an impromptu recess to allow county counsel, 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton, the applicant, and appellant a chance to privately meet to iron out one final sticking point.

Because county cannabis permits are only valid for five years, McPhee wanted an assurance from the applicants that they would not propose outdoor cultivation again at that time.

“When I said no grow, I meant no grow,” McPhee said.

After a nearly hour-long recess, the parties agreed to a private resolution that establishes that no outdoor cultivation will occur on the property for at least 20 years.

County Counsel Rita Neal advised the board that the county couldn’t condition the project for that; it had to come in the form of a private agreement between the two parties.

“I think you would be at legal risk if you condition the project on perpetuity,” Neal said.

The supervisors’ approval marks an end to a heated period of debate in the Templeton community over the project. County officials approved the initial iteration of the project in September 2018. McPhee filed the appeal in October.

Sullivan, the property owner, said the future cannabis farm will be partly dedicated to medical research—an idea that came from her own family’s experiences with illnesses and the side effects of pain medication.

VIEWER DISCRETION

by Jayson Mellom accessible via computer, smartphone app, text, or phone. The tool helps guide victims of a sexual assault through a series of questions that can help them connect with support, services, and—if they choose—law enforcement. According to a statement from RISE issued before the tool’s debut in SLO County, Seek Then Speak is available in more than 60 languages and was designed to help close gaps in the delivery of services to victims.

It also aims to help promote justice and healing for survivors.

“Seek Then Speak is an alternative, trauma-informed way for survivors to tell their stories,” Jennifer Adams, RISE executive director, said in the statement.

“It empowers them to take control of their healing, and, when they are ready, choose to access advocacy services or connect with law enforcement.”

The deployment of Seek Then Speak occurs as RISE and the city of SLO are working to address and prevent sexual violence through a program called Close 2 Home. This program was enacted in part because results of a 2018 New Times investigation found that SLO city led the county in reported rapes, yet it had the fewest number of rape cases filed in SLO County Superior Court by prosecutors.

The story, in concert with national statistics that indicated that 63 percent of sexual assaults are not reported to the police, showed there was a “great need” for more efforts to prevent sexual violence, according to a 2018 RISE press release.

RISE announced that it was bringing the Close 2 Home initiative to the city in December 2018. The program will be carried out in four phases over the next four years.

“The scientific community for a long time has been wishing and hoping that a product like cannabis would become legal so they could do the research and establish medicines that are plantbased that have fewer side effects,” Sullivan said. “When we were given the opportunity to lease our property, we wanted to ensure there was a strong research and medical component.”

County pursues more medication-assisted treatment

SLO County wants to make it easier for residents battling substance abuse, in particular, opioid addiction, to get medication to help their recovery.

The SLO County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on March 26 to allow the county Health Agency to apply for a $150,000 grant from the California Department of Health Care Services that would allow it to expand access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to three additional locations in North and South County. The agency hopes that increasing the availability of treatment will help combat opioid overdose deaths.

MAT uses FDA-approved prescription medications, often in combination with counseling and behavioral therapy, to provide treatment of substance use disorders. One of the more common MAT medications is methadone, which is used to treat heroin and opioid addiction.

Currently, the Health Agency’s Behavioral Health Department operates three licensed and certified locations for MAT services in Grover Beach, Atascadero, and SLO. The SLO County Jail also has a MAT program. Even with the three sites, it’s not always convenient for individuals with opiate use disorders to travel to those locations, a Health Agency staff report stated. If the county obtains the grant, it would expand MAT services to existing locations in Morro Bay and Paso Robles, as well as a yet-tobe-determined location in South County.

“The Health Agency is looking for a South County health care partner location, as many clients travel to Santa Maria to access Aegis Treatment Centers for methadone, despite other medication options available,” the staff report stated.

The grant is competitive, and has a goal of adding more than 200 new access points for MAT services in rural and urban areas across the state.

The county is seeking the grant as it continues to mitigate the impact of the national opioid addiction crisis in its own backyard. Opioid-related overdose deaths in SLO County have sharply increased since 2012. In 2017, the county logged 36 opioid overdose deaths, up from 34 in 2016 and matching a record high of 36 in 2015.

Data on overdose deaths from 2018 has not been released.

To combat the crisis, the county has taken a number of steps, including creating the Opioid Safety Coalition, seeking to expand MAT services in the jail, and increasing the use and availability of the anti-overdose drug, naloxone. The county is also involved in a massive class-action federal lawsuit against opioid drug manufactures, marketers, and distributors.

Atascadero will charge its residents a fee for contaminating the recycling bin

In the city of Atascadero, if residents or commercial businesses overfill their recycling bins or willfully throw nonrecyclables in the blue bin they could be charged a $50 fee, starting May 1.

The council unanimously voted to amend the city’s agreement with the Atascadero Waste Alternatives to allow for the collection of fees at the March 26 City Council meeting.

For a residential bin, the overfilling fee would be $50 and for a 3-cubic-yard commercial cart, it would be $150.

While council members agreed with the fee charge, they expressed their concern about the lack of education that the community has regarding what can and can’t go in their recycling bin.

“The public awareness is a huge component that is lacking, whether these people are doing it wrongfully or unknowingly,” Councilmember Heather Newsom said. “I think I may be guilty and might not even know it with my pizza boxes.”

The fees are an effort to curtail customers who knowingly throw an excess of non-recyclable items in their blue bins.

Before the fees can go into effect, all the bins in the city must have a sticker about recyclable items placed on them by the SLO County Integrated Waste Management Authority and all customers

6 • New Times • March 28 - April 4, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

need to receive a letter notifying them about the fee.

According to a staff report, residential recyclable loads are estimated to be between 22 and 25 percent contaminated with non-recyclables, well over the contamination limit called for in North SLO County Recycling’s contract with the city—which is 10 percent.

The initial agreement that was brought to the council and approved on Feb. 26 discussed increasing the city’s recycling program rates for residents and commercial businesses, because North SLO County Recycling significantly increased the city’s tipping fees.

For residents, a 32-gallon cart went from $22.41 to $26.29 and the rate for a standard 3-cubic-yard commercial bin for recycling service changed from $161.90 to $171.90.

New digital tool could help sexual assault victims

An alliance of advocates, local law enforcement, and Cal Poly officials is trying to spread the word about a new tool for survivors of rape and sexual assault.

Former employee sues Oaks Hotel for failure to provide proper breaks

A former employee of Oaks Hotel Paso Robles claims that the Oaks Hotel failed to provide him and other employees with proper rest breaks and duty-free meal periods.

A March 15 lawsuit filed against the hotel alleges that over the past four years, it failed to provide Michael Wolf—and a class of all other similarly situated current and former employees of Oaks— with rest periods or compensation for a lack of rest periods.

The hotel, the lawsuit alleges, also failed to provide Wolf with duty-free meal periods of at least 30 minutes and failed to properly compensate Wolf for it.

Rather, the lawsuit claims, the hotel maintained control over the activities and actions of its employees during mandated meal and rest breaks, as evidenced by payroll and timekeeping records. It alleges that the hotel records show conclusively that Wolf and other employees are not provided with meal breaks, in violation of California law.

The complaint also claims that the hotel denied Wolf and other employees notice that employees may accrue and use sick leave, have a right to request and use accrued paid sick leave, may not be terminated or retaliated against for using or requesting the use of accrued paid sick leave, and have the right to file a complaint against en employer who retaliates.

As of March 27, the defendant had not filed a response in court. Δ —Karen Garcia

Changing election systems Paso Robles looks into other cities and how different election systems are working in those communities

P

aso Robles residents could be voting for their City Council members through a by-district election as soon as 2020— unless the city can find an alternative.

“Kind of uniformly, the community input has been no one is happy about having to move to district elections. We’re clearly being forced to do it,” Jim Cogan, assistant city manager, said.

After being threatened with a lawsuit last year, Paso is gearing up for the final public hearing in a continued discussion about the best way to change the city’s electoral system from at-large to by-district. In August 2018, the city received a letter from Kevin Shenkman of the Shenkman and Hughes law firm, alleging that Paso’s at-large electoral system polarized the Latino population’s vote. The firm claimed that Paso Robles’ electoral system violated the California Voting Rights Act and demanded that the city change to a by-district system.

Cogan said the city believes that Shenkman is incorrect and that its current election system is representative of Paso’s entire population.

“If you were to suggest, as Shenkman did, that the Latino population is not sufficiently represented or has not historically been sufficiently represented,

then one would assume a by-district solution would be logical if our Latino population all lived in the same area of town, but our Latino population does not live in the same area of town,” Cogan said.

According to July 2018 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, about 40 percent of the city population identifies as Hispanic or Latino.

He said because the city has a diverse population that’s spread throughout the city, a by-district system would actually dilute the power of Latino voters because the population is being separated into districts.

“We’re looking at how we could actually meet the goals of the California Voting Rights Act because the one-size-fits-all solution is actually counterproductive to the stated goals of the act,” he said.

While the city is going through the public hearing process to comply with Shenkman’s demands, it’s also looking into alternative election systems that would allow the city to continue with an at-large system.

It’s currently researching ranked-choice voting and cumulative voting. Rankedchoice voting allows voters to rank multiple candidates in order of preference.

Cumulative voting allows each voter as many votes as there are candidates; the voter has the choice to give all votes to one

candidate or varying numbers to several.

Cogan said the city is looking at how Mission Viejo in Orange County has moved to a cumulative voting system in July 2018.

According to a lawsuit settlement in September 2017, the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project—a nonprofit Latino voting rights group— pressured Mission Viejo to switch to by-district elections. After the city underwent public hearings and conducted studies, it decided to stick with its atlarge system. Using the Shenkman and Hughes law firm, the nonprofit sued the city in March 2018.

Shenkman and the city came to an agreement that a district-based system wouldn’t work for Mission Viejo, so the parties agreed to a cumulative-based system, the settlement states. Mission Viejo is slated to elect all five of its City Council members through the new system in November 2020.

The cities of Lompoc and Santa Maria had their first district-based elections last November. Both cities were pressed to switch from citywide to district elections through the threat of litigation as well.

Gloria Soto, Santa Maria’s 3rd District City Council member who was elected in 2018, believes the district-based system was the right move.

Soto said that more than 70 percent of Santa Maria is Latino and an immigrant farmworker community.

If you have a strong design sense as well as a good work ethic, you may have what it takes to join the New Times Media Group team. We’re looking for an efficient, motivated individual to design and produce editorial pages under specific deadlines on a weekly basis.

“For a long time, it felt as though our city wasn’t being represented by folks who understood the struggles that so many of our families face here in our community,” she said, “by someone who was raised by farmworking parents. I remember the struggles that my family faced by just trying to provide adequate housing for us, food on the table, and the difficulties of trying to navigate the educational school system to support me and my younger brother.”

When the push finally came for Santa Maria to change to district elections, Soto was helping to scout a candidate in the 3rd District—her district—when she realized that she could represent her community as a person who was born and raised in the city and as someone who understands the working-class community.

She found that the greatest benefit from district-based elections, aside from representation, was voter engagement.

“I was able to door-knock not once, not twice, but three times to people’s doors,” Soto said. “I was able to walk my entire district multiple times, and we had a really strong following, and I think district elections really make that even more effective and even more possible.”

Soto said she firmly believes that there isn’t anything more powerful than a community being able to say that their representative is not only accessible but is someone they know or is even their neighbor. ∆

As SLO County parents struggle to find and afford child care, community groups rally behind the issue

T

he savvier of San Luis Obispo County parents know the game: When a mother-to-be finds out she’s pregnant, one of the family’s first moves—sometimes before even going to the doctor’s office—is to sign up on a waiting list for child care.

Competition for a scarce number of slots is fierce. Provider options are limited.

Waitlists are long. And the prospect of missing the boat is terrifying.

Sara Lopus had all this in mind two years ago when, as a new Cal Poly faculty member, she called up the ASI Children’s Center to add her name to its list.

“I’d heard the wait here on campus was long,” Lopus told New Times. “So the day I found out I was pregnant, like before I saw my doctor, I got on the waitlist.”

Though she was new to the Central Coast, Lopus wasn’t new to finding child care. When she and her spouse previously lived in Northern California and the East Coast with their first child, Lopus found that if she planned far enough ahead, things worked out.

“I just imagined that it would be that way here,” she said.

But SLO was different. When Lopus had her second baby, she called the center to confirm that a spot would open for her infant when she turned 4 months old.

Not only did the center say “no,” they told her it was unlikely a spot would open the following year.

“Now, we’re waiting to hear if there’ll be a spot for her when she’s 2,” Lopus said.

Tonya Iversen, who runs the ASI Children’s Center, which is an infant care center and preschool for 130 universityand non-university-affiliated children ages 4 months to 6 years old, told New Times that her waitlist is longer today than it’s been throughout her tenure there.

“I used to say it was about one year,” Iversen said. “Now, the wait is getting up into the 2 1/2- to 3-year mark. Some families will put their names on the waiting list when their children are infants, and I may never get them into the program.”

While taken aback by the news, Lopus at least had some prior experience with the child care crunch to lean on. For unwitting first-time parents, child care’s inaccessibility and unaffordability can blindside them.

“I had no idea this was even an issue until I had a child,” said Angela Clarke, a SLO resident with a 6-month-old infant.

Save the date

Local families, employers, civic leaders, educators, regional planners, students, and advocates are invited to attend “Where’s the Care? Tackling our Local Child Care Challenge” on Wednesday, May 29, at Congregation Beth David in SLO from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. This town hall meeting, hosted by community groups including First 5 San Luis Obispo County, will “highlight the urgency of early child care and education issues in SLO County, including lack of accessibility and affordability for families, and a persistent workforce crisis in the early childhood education field.” Visit first5slo.org to register for the event and to find out more.

CRUNCH FOR CARE San Luis Obispo County families often face steep costs and years of waiting to enroll in infant, toddler, and preschool care programs. Early childhood advocacy groups say the crunch is reaching a crisis point.

“I was thinking to myself, there’s no way I’m not going to find a day care for her. I have four months to find it.”

Clarke ran into waitlists and costs that shocked her.

“It’s insane,” she said. “I think the average [cost] is $1,200 to $1,500 per month, but not only that, there’s a twoyear waitlist for a lot of places.”

Lopus’ and Clarke’s stories are indicative of how child care has become an increasingly difficult issue in SLO County. Professionals in the field say that as the cost of living in the area continues to rise, more and more two-parent families are relying on two full-time incomes to get by. That, in turn, has led to a swelling of need for pre-K care.

But finding it and affording it aren’t easy. The predicament has added stress to parents’ lives, forced employees out of the workforce, and even driven families to leave SLO County altogether, experts say.

“I hear desperation,” Iversen said about parents, “and it’s coming more and more frequently. Last week [in early March], I got an email from a woman who’s been on the waiting list for almost three years.

She and her husband are considering moving because they cannot find child care. … I’d like to say that’s just one person, but it’s not. That’s why I think this becomes an economic issue for the entire community.”

Various community groups and businesses are starting to come together to talk about the question, “Where’s the care?” Advocacy organizations like First 5 San Luis Obispo County and CAPSLO want to bring child care to the forefront of public conversation.

On Wednesday, May 29, those groups will host a public workshop, “Where’s the Care? Tackling our Local Child Care Challenge,” from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Congregation Beth David. The town hall invites families, employers, civic leaders, educators, regional planners, students, and advocates to participate in a discussion about early child care and education issues in SLO County,

including “the lack of accessibility and affordability for families, and a persistent workforce crisis in the early childhood education field,” according to the town hall press release.

“We have been increasingly aware that it’s time to elevate the conversation to a broader platform,” said Wendy Wendt, the executive director of First 5 SLO County.

“There’s a real growing concern in the business community about what the system is able to provide or not provide for their working parents.

“It’s meant to bring a broad cross section of people to the table,” she continued. “This is a uniquely critical time in children’s lives, these first few years of life when children’s brains are rapidly developing.

This is the time when we want the best launching pad for them, and we have to go to work at the same time.”

Fixing a broken equation

Wendt explained that the child care and early childhood education fields have long struggled with an economic “math equation that doesn’t add up.”

“It’s not affordable for families,” Wendt said, “and it’s bargain basement wages for the early childhood educator workforce for the most part.”

Recent data published in the SLO County Child Care Planning Council Needs Assessment 2018-22 backs this up. The survey found that the average annual per child cost of child care in

SLO County is $11,511 for infant care; $9,752 for preschool; and $9,445 for after school care—with the median household income for a family sitting at about $80,000. Meanwhile, a child care worker in California, on average, makes barely above minimum wage—$12.29 per hour.

“Therein lies the paradox,” Wendt said.

Families’ options for child care run the gamut from community-based centers, to home-based centers, to nannies, to neighbors, friends, and family. SLO County has a shortage of just about every form of care, the 2018-22 needs assessment found, which affects families in every socioeconomic bracket.

Many low-income families who are eligible for federal Head Start programs or state preschools still find themselves stuck on waiting lists due to a lack of facilities and funds. Working- to middleclass families deal with some of the most difficult circumstances, field experts said, because they bring home too much pay to be eligible for state preschool, but not enough pay to afford market child care costs. Even middle- to upperclass families who can afford child care are looking at limited options and long waitlists at centers.

“We find that across the board, families are struggling,” said Shana Paulson, children’s services manager at CAPSLO’s Child Care Resource Connection.

Some local programs have tried to react and adjust to the shifting needs of the community. In the last few years, the Valley View Children’s Center in Arroyo

Grande, a private faith-based center that serves about 70 children, expanded its hours to include afternoon care and launched a new program for 2-year-olds, due to an escalating need for infant and toddler care.

Jamie Sanbonmatsu, director at Valley View Children’s Center, told New Times that it’s generally difficult for centers to offer care for infants because of stringent state requirements for staffing. Licensing regulations require infant centers to have a high staff-to-child ratio as well as follow strict child monitoring rules.

Though important, the requirements increase the costs of running a program, Sanbonmatsu said.

“You’re paying someone to watch babies sleep,” she explained.

Those same standards for infant care also apply to home-based centers, which is a sector of child care in SLO County that’s experienced a 17 percent decline since 2016. Home centers are especially important here because they’re the only programs open on evenings and

SLO County child care leaders, though generally supportive of the legislative direction, are more focused on getting local players to work together on new, creative solutions. One SLO company in particular has caught their eye with its outside-the-box thinking on child care.

Bringing care to work The idea to build and run an office-based preschool came to Trust Automation co-founders Ty and Trudie Safreno organically. It was about a decade ago, at a juncture when several of their more than 100 employees started settling down with families. The Safrenos didn’t want to risk losing any of them to the

weekends—a big time of need for parents with jobs in the service and tourism industries. They’re often more affordable, too, but they deal with stigmas and stereotypes.

“People have the misconception that it’s babysitting,” said Maggie Dunn-Fry, who operates a licensed home care center, Book Buddies, in Los Osos. “Depending on where you go, it’s so far from that.

There are tons of us who provide very enriched programs.”

Centers like Book Buddies struggle to keep their infant care services, though, with the state’s rules for staffing and monitoring.

“Some of the laws make it even more frightening for home care providers to try to maintain some of that,” Dunn-Fry said.

As it is, programs of every stripe are having a difficult time hiring teachers and staff, according the professionals who spoke to New Times. Iversen, the ASI Children’s Center director, said it recently took her six months to fill a few teacher vacancies last year, when in the past it would have taken mere weeks. Despite the relatively higher wages and benefits Cal Poly can offer, Iversen saw fewer applications come across her desk than ever, which she worries is an indication that young people aren’t seeing a viable career path in early childhood education.

“You can only imagine,” Wendt of First 5 noted, “if she’s [Iversen’s] having a hard time, what’s going on with everybody else?”

It’s not just staffing that inhibits program growth. A lack of facilities is often the biggest barrier to many preschools’ and day care centers’ ability to expand.

“Building a building takes a really long time, and it’s expensive,” Iversen said.

“That’s where we always get down to the brass tacks of it, because it’s really easy to talk about the problem. But talking about the solution is the harder part.”

Some advocates see the child care solutions lying at the doorsteps of the state and federal governments. This year, California lawmakers will debate a series of new bills introduced in December that could inject more than $1 billion into the state preschool system. Assembly Bill 123, introduced by Kevin McCarty

demands of parenthood.

“It was the reality that folks with us who were starting families had difficult decisions to make,” said Ty, who started the tech manufacturing company with his wife nearly 30 years ago in SLO. Before diving into anything, Ty and Trudie did their research by touring child care facilities at Google’s and Patagonia’s offices. Those companies operate the centers themselves, the couple said, as opposed to contracting the service out to a third-party provider. That model inspired them because it meant more control over programming and prices. They decided to go for it.

A few years ago, the Trust Children’s Center opened its doors, a mere few hundred feet from the company’s main office on Suburban Road. The center provides all-day infant care and preschool to both Trust employees (who have first preference) and families in the community. The facility has two large classrooms, two outdoor areas, a full kitchen, and is completely staffed

and led by a program director. About 60 percent of the enrollees are Trust employee children, and they get a 25 percent discount.

While giving New Times a tour, Ty and Trudie noted that making the facility a reality was neither easy nor cheap. They had to fund the first year of construction on their own because banks were skeptical at first and didn’t give them a loan. The company continues to subsidize the center’s everyday operations in order to keep prices reasonable for their employees.

When the company moves to a bigger office building on Buckley Road, which it plans to do in the next year or so, the Safrenos plan to build a new child care center to serve it.

“To do it right, it’s expensive,” Ty said.

The couple believes in the center’s benefits, and says the investment has paid off through employee retention and by creating a more productive, family-friendly atmosphere.

“We would’ve lost so many of our good people here [without it],” Trudie said.

RAISING AWARENESS Early childhood education leaders like Tonya Iversen, director of the Cal Poly ASI Children’s Center, are increasingly concerned about meeting the child care needs in the community and attracting quality teachers to the field.

Corporate responsibility

Trust Automation is one of just a handful of workplaces in SLO County offering professional on-site child care to employees; others include MindBody, Cal Poly, Cuesta College, and the Atascadero State Hospital.

Yet, early childhood advocates increasingly view the model as an important piece of the solution to the county’s child care issue. That’s in part because the crisis is as much theirs as anybody’s.

“My challenge for our corporations locally is if you can’t afford to do it individually, great, partner with somebody else. Let’s band this together,” Iversen, with the ASI Children’s Center, said. “There are people right now who are being recruited to move out of an area to

They believe the investment has enabled them to retain many quality workers that they might’ve otherwise lost.

come to [SLO County for work]. They’re going to get here and go, ‘Wait, where’s the child care?’”

Another part of the discussion with business leaders will be about how they can create more flexible work environments for parents so they may not need child care as often. Flexible hours, the ability to work from home, and the ability to bring young children into work are all on advocates’ wish list. Doing away with the rigid corporate customs and taboos about parenthood is important to SLO resident Adrienne Harris.

Harris left her prior job several years ago when she became a mom, and she ended up opening her own consulting business at home. It gave her the freedom to work and mother more synergistically.

Harris recalled a stint in the Philippines when she was in the Peace Corps where she observed a culture that constantly intermixed work and family.

“Somehow in the U.S. we’re not OK with that,” Harris said. “You have to parent over here, and then your career is very separate. I don’t understand why that is. As a working parent, it’s very frustrating to me. I would love to see that become the norm in our country.”

While child care leaders hope local businesses will respond to the call, they know true progress in the field will require substantial efforts at every level by all stakeholders.

“That’s why our approach is so varied,” Paulson, with CAPSLO, said. “We kind of need to address everything at the same time. We need to raise the level of regard for the early childhood professionals so people are attracted to this and are treated well and compensated appropriately. We need to help programs have facilities so they can operate, so they can expand. There’s just so much to do. And there’s so many of us ready to do it now.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

That doggie in the window Animal Kingdom faces lawsuits and accusations of sourcing puppies from unethical mass breeders

I

t’s been less than a year since Jen Toste paid nearly $2,000 for a goldendoodle puppy she fell in love with at an Animal Kingdom pet store on the Central Coast. Since then, she’s spent roughly $10,000 on veterinary appointments, surgeries, and medications for that puppy, which was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia just months after Toste brought it home.

Toste, who lives in Arroyo Grande, says Animal Kingdom is to blame because the store’s owners have “knowingly” purchased animals from irresponsible breeders for years. Through a civil lawsuit filed in San Luis Obispo County—just one of several legal battles and accusations the store is currently fighting—Toste hopes to receive thousands of dollars in reimbursement for her dog’s piling medical bills.

“If Animal Kingdom had any type of ethical component to their business and really a true love for animals, they would have sourced differently,” Toste told New Times. “I understand it’s a business, but they have done things the shortcut way to turn dogs around quicker and make money, and I don’t know how they sleep at night.”

Animal Kingdom’s owners did not respond to a request for comment.

Toste’s puppy, Lola, had only been home for about three months when Toste noticed the limping. When Toste took Lola to the vet in October 2018, she discovered that both of Lola’s hips were developing incorrectly and that the condition was severe. Toste learned something else, too: Lola’s disease could have been prevented entirely.

Hip dysplasia is common among larger breeds of dogs, but, as a genetic disease, it can also be easily prevented through responsible breeding, according to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, a private nonprofit dedicated to lowering the incidence of genetic diseases in animals.

Reputable breeders often screen their potential parent animals for hereditary diseases, such as hip dysplasia. Animals that test positive as carriers for any number of genetic diseases aren’t used in the breeding process.

Toste blames irresponsible breeding— which can lead to higher rates of disease in animals—for her dog’s health issues, and animal rights activists have been fighting to stop it for years.

Activists celebrated what they considered a win in that fight in October 2017, when former Gov. Jerry Brown approved a state law requiring pet stores to obtain all dogs, cats, and rabbits from animal shelters or rescue groups, and banning stores from sourcing directly from breeders. It’s an effort to decrease the demand for mass-bred animals while increasing demand for the millions of already available shelter animals, which are typically killed if not adopted.

Although that law just went into effect at the beginning of this year, it’s already having a significant impact on the Central Coast, though, not necessarily the intended one.

Christine Collier, a Vandenberg Village resident and founder of the animal advocacy group No More Pet Store Puppies 805, has long been a vocal opponent of pet stores like Animal Kingdom, which has locations in Santa Maria, Grover Beach, and Pismo Beach.

When the law requiring stores to source pets from shelters went into effect on Jan. 1, she noticed that Animal Kingdom was still selling puppies for upwards of $1,500, expensive even for purebred dogs. Then she noticed the store’s supposed sourcing shelter, “Bark Adoptions Rescue,” which is based in Menifee, California.

She looked into it, and found that Bark Adoptions is being investigated for shady operations by animal services departments across California, including San Luis Obispo County.

In San Diego, stores that listed Bark Adoptions as a sourcing shelter were fined hundreds of dollars per pet after an investigation concluded that the “shelter” had not received nonprofit status and was likely a front for mass breeders hoping to get their animals into stores. San Luis Obispo County Animal Services found similar issues with the dogs from Bark Adoptions available at Animal Kingdom but Animal Services Manager

SELECTED WINTER CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT

Eric Anderson said the store was able to provide the county with proof that Bark Adoptions has received 501c3 tax exemption status. There are still “issues” being looked at, but Anderson said, “our determination is that Animal Kingdom is compliant with the letter of the law.”

Despite those findings, animal rights groups Bailing out Benji and Animal Legal Defense Fund filed a lawsuit against Bark Adoptions and Animal Kingdom on March 5, claiming the organizations are circumventing the new state law by selling commercially purebred puppies that are labeled as rescues.

Stores all over California are still selling 8- to 12-week-old purebred or designer puppies for thousands of dollars apiece, according to Mindi Callison, executive director and founder of Bailing out Benji, a nonprofit that works to dismantle puppy mills.

While that lawsuit would likely impact all Animal Kingdom stores, including its PHOTO BY KASEY BUBNASH

location in Santa Maria’s Town Center Mall, less is being done in Santa Barbara County to ensure that pet stores are sourcing from legitimate shelters.

Stacy Silva, community outreach coordinator for Santa Barbara County Animal Services, said that while her department is aware of alleged issues with Animal Kingdom, there isn’t an open investigation into those issues at this time.

“We’re continuing to actively monitor the store,” Silva said.

Animal Kingdom’s most recent kennel inspection—a process that includes ensuring animals have adequate water, food, space, and documentation—was on Jan. 28, but Silva said she couldn’t comment on the findings or conclusion.

Silva said that while she thinks the new state law is a step in the right direction, it includes various loopholes that make it difficult to truly enforce the regulations.

She’s heard of stores doing things like giving away a free rabbit with a rabbit starter kit, which usually includes a cage, food, toys, and other items you’d need to raise a bunny. In that case, Silva said the store isn’t technically selling a rabbit—it’s selling a rabbit starter kit—so the rabbit doesn’t really have to come from a shelter.

Animal Kingdom has found a way to get around the spay and neutering requirement, Silva said, and fake shelters are becoming more common, too. She said because stores are no longer required to disclose an animal’s original source, just the source the store used to get the animal, “there’s no real way” to confirm that those organizations are legitimate.

In any case, Silva said the law was originally passed in an effort to promote rescue adoption, and that hasn’t happened in Santa Barbara County. Animal Kingdom has not approached the county’s shelters to put those available pets in its stores, Silva said. In that way, Silva said the law isn’t really achieving its goal.

“I think it is a tool and it is a good start, but I think it needs to be strengthened to allow for the enforcement to happen a little bit easier,” Silva said. “Ultimately it needs to focus on the backyard breeders as well as the puppy mills where these animals are coming from.” ∆

Clock’s ticking U nder the shared belief that the economy’s problems are too big for any individual community to solve on its own, a coalition of Central Coastbased business and civic leaders decided to form a collaborative “action tank” to help create high-quality jobs throughout San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara counties, from San Miguel to Lompoc.

Melissa James was recently appointed to be the collaboration’s first CEO. “It’s time for us to awaken our possibilities and start viewing our challenges as opportunities to think big and leverage our strengths to ensure a vibrant regional economy,” James told New Times.

Named the Hourglass Project to reflect a sense PHOTO COURTESY OF MELISSA JAMES of urgency, the organization feels there’s a finite amount of time to implement a stronger economy for Central Coast residents.

“The Hourglass Project is designed to drive economic opportunity and prosperity across the Central Coast region, from Vandenberg to Camp Roberts, a region of nearly half a million people,” James explained.

“The effort has a SENSE OF URGENCY The board of directors of the year of bottomHourglass Project, a nonprofit economic development up momentum organization based in SLO and northern Santa Barbara counties, and demand from named Melissa James as its first CEO. business and civic

leaders across the region who believe now is the time for a new approach.”

What personalizes the mission of the Hourglass Project for James is that it’s based on the Central Coast, she said.

Although she grew up in Sacramento, SLO County was home to James during her college years at Cal Poly and again after taking a job with the SLO Chamber of Commerce, where she developed initiatives related to housing and infrastructure planning.

“I know too many hardworking people on the Central Coast who are struggling to get by, let alone get ahead,” James said.

“I want to see more people, including my two daughters, have the opportunities to build a life and future here.

“We will be aligning the region under one voice and brand to drive policy solutions and investment at the state and federal levels as well as to attract talent, capital, and new business,” she continued.

James’ résumé carries public policy and strategic communications experience in both the public and private sectors, including the California Senate as capitol director for former Sen. Sam Blakeslee.

As CEO of the Hourglass Project, James plans to put various short and long-term initiatives into place, including a “jobs playbook,” which will list the actions required to create new jobs in specific locations across the region, and a comprehensive database to measure the results.

“The playbook will be an inclusive process to set our vision, goals, and targets for the types of opportunities we want to create here,” James said. “The database will give us a stronger case on the region’s many assets and strengths and help us to make decisions and measure our progress against the data.”

Safe solutions Bias and facts We want to help, but there has to be a better option than the homeless project proposed for the Five Cities

I

am writing in response to the New Times’ March 7 article: “Grover Beach could have its first affordable housing project.” I am closely following the proposed homeless project at Hillside Church, only a half mile from our elementary school and a few doors down from my parents’ home. The plan (which is dependent on a $4.8 million HEAP grant) has good intentions and plans for services that our homeless truly need, but is it in the right location?

This is an untested model for our county—combining the following all on the same property and in the middle of a residential neighborhood: a warming shelter, transitional housing (44 beds), and adults from the ages of 18 to 24 with a “jail-to-community” program.

The intent of the warming shelter is to provide a place to sleep overnight during the coldest nights of the year, or when there is a 50 percent chance of rain in the forecast. All homeless over the age of 18 are welcome.

Sobriety is not a requirement, and no

background checks are done. At our last neighborhood meeting, a parole officer shared that he has sex offender parolees who have stayed there. These overnight guests won’t show up on Megan’s Law, and when they leave the facility, they are in a school walking zone. How is this protecting our children?

Please understand my heart. I fully support the need for warming shelters, but I do not back a solution that places the shelter within walking distance of three schools, especially when guests may be paroled sex offenders. Since the warming center opened about two years ago (without neighbors’ knowledge, on an administrative approval), neighbors have regularly found used needles, broken glass, alcohol, and human feces in the bushes along the same route where kids are walking to and from school.

I ask our civic leaders why they have overlooked their own general plan?

More balance needed, less propaganda

A

s a former English teacher, I can testify that Al Fonzi writes correct English sentences. However, I would argue that his thinking is biased, as he limits his support to only the relatively few “authorities” who support his conclusions while ignoring the significantly larger body of “authorities” who contradict him. This places his essay, “A Terrible Deal” (March 14), in the category of propaganda rather than valid argument on a controversial issue.

For Al Fonzi, this approach isn’t new, but it is dangerous when forwarded by a man whose accompanying “bio” lists him as a former “Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence.”

Fonzi is a climate change denier, similar to our current leader, President Donald Trump, who claims there is no climate change because it still occasionally gets cold. To support his contention, Fonzi cites a handful of climate change deniers while ignoring the vast majority of climatologists who are warning us of the imminent danger to life as we know it. He ignores the unprecedented melting of the ice caps and the measured rising sea levels. He also claims that the current push for a green deal to correct the practices that are further endangering our world and its people is just a vast economic, antibusiness conspiracy. He ignores the facts that interfere with his prejudices. More’s the pity.

Then, as a “solution” for those environmentalists who “steadfastly oppose immediate remedies using proven technologies that are currently available to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions,” he proposes nuclear power (there still isn’t a good solution to the problem of storing radioactive waste, which remains potentially fatal for God only knows how long), “large hydroelectric projects” (ignoring the reality of extended droughts resulting from changing climate patterns), and “natural gas” (which is subject to accidental release during extraction, as was suffered by Porter Ranch residents not too long ago). All are flawed alternatives.

Then, to summarize, Mr. Fonzi compares “climate alarmists” to “religious cults predicting imminent doom, sitting on their rooftops, waiting for the end” and predicts that economic disaster would be eminent under a green deal that would make Americans “envy Venezuela” (a carefully selected allusion to a communist autocracy).

His conclusions are neither valid nor productive but are purely political.

I, for one, am tired of Mr. Fonzi’s slanted rants and propaganda, but I respect the principle of free speech and respect New Times’ willingness to print my responses when I differ with him. ∆ Istar Holliday writes with concern from Arroyo Grande.

How can we improve local families’ access to early childhood education programs and child care?

COMMENTARY from page 14

Emergency shelters are defined in the development code as “facilities for the temporary overnight shelter of indigents operated by a public or nonprofit.” The city has adopted an emergency shelter overlay to allow emergency shelters/ warming centers to be permitted by right in certain areas of the city.

A drive through the overlay area on March 24 quickly located five appropriately sized parcels for sale.

Instead of using the city’s existing “emergency shelter overlay” zone, which is within walking distance from where many homeless currently congregate and camp, this Hillside Church proposal seeks to rezone this quiet neighborhood from residential to commercial.

Currently, warming center buses are bringing the homeless from all over the Five Cities into the church neighborhood.

Also notable under Grover Beach’s general plan in the housing constraints section of the housing element, it states, “Nearby residential neighborhoods must be adequately buffered from potential impacts of the proposed shelter.” Where is the buffer? It is surrounded by children and seniors.

Let’s ask project stakeholders to find a way to divide this ambitious, vital project so it accomplishes three essential goals: provides services to help those who need them most; keeps residential

Calling out Trump is an act of patriotism

I found last week’s letter from Ellis Romero (“A warning to Congressional Dems and the irrelevant media,” March 21), warning Democrats and the media to stop attacking President Donald Trump, hypocritical.

When you have a president who constantly attacks individuals, calls them names, insults them, belittles and demeans them, or attacks a deceased American hero like John McCain, criticism from Democrats and the media seem pretty insignificant.

As Romero says, the economy is doing well—as it has since Obama restored it—especially if you can afford to invest in the stock market, but there are other issues.

When there is a president who has seemingly relinquished our role as leader of the free world, who caters to dictators and finds them more credible than his own intelligence agencies, when he has surrounded himself with convicted criminals, spewed hateful rhetoric that has inspired so many hate crimes and such violence, weakened our alliances, and constantly lied to the American people, to call him out is patriotism.

Tom Bauer Morro Bay

SLO has a responsibility to the birds and their habitat The San Luis Ranch loggers have cut

a large (10-foot) fire thorn on the bank of Prefumo Creek just below where the creek from Cerro San Luis comes in.

This tree has been a heavy fruit producer and was loaded when cut. Every year, migrating flocks of robins and/or cedar waxwings spend a couple of days here gorging on the fruit.

The loss of this tree will not be measureable in terms of total food in the flyway. However, it is this incremental whittling away that has reduced the carrying capacity of the flyway—and wildlife habitat in general.

Riparian vegetation has many values to many species, both from its physical characteristics and food production.

It seems odd that the city would require/permit the cutting of riparian trees and shrubs and especially those right on the bank of Prefumo Creek.

Any government, when permitting an activity, then has the responsibility to monitor and ensure that best practices are employed.

The cutting of this especially important specimen was totally unnecessary.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

The ghost of J. Edgar Hoover

I

t’s been around 50 years since FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was finally retired from the FBI. Assuming the directorship in the Bureau’s earliest years, he turned a sleepy backwater in the federal bureaucracy into the most powerful agency within the federal government. Yes, even more powerful than the IRS, as the FBI received iconic status in the mind of the public via print media and film, apprehending the most notorious and violent criminals in America. Organized criminal organizations were shattered, the Ku Klux Klan decimated; spies, terrorists, and foreign intelligence services learned to fear the FBI. Hoover’s FBI became the flagship federal organization for internal security and counterespionage. During WWII, Nazi Germany’s attempts to land agents on American soil were thwarted by the FBI. But our own intelligence agencies were also sabotaged by Hoover’s jealousy and determination to reserve the Western Hemisphere as an FBI preserve, excluding any potential Allied intelligence services from operating without Hoover’s blessing.

Hoover was alleged to have kept files on elected officials, blackmailed them on behalf of his agency, and wiretapped civil rights leaders, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, without a warrant or probable cause. Much of Hoover’s abuses came out in the 1970s after his departure and death, along with much salacious personal information about Hoover.

The Church Committee—the 1975

U.S. Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities—brought out many abuses by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the post-Nixon/ Vietnam years, resulting in many new laws restricting domestic intelligence/ counterintelligence operations on U.S. territory and especially against U.S. citizens. The new director of the CIA, Adm. Stansfield Turner, radically overhauled that agency, firing more than 800 old-time agents and relying heavily upon technical means for collection operations.

We paid a price for the Church Committee’s and Adm. Turner’s overreach for the next 25 years, which manifested itself in the “bolt from the blue” 9/11 attacks, a result of the massive growth of bureaucracy and a climate of caution that dominated intelligence operations. After 9/11, much of that changed with loosening of the constraints that kept federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in check; the “Ghost of Hoover” has returned with FBI abuses in the Trump-Russiancollusion scandal.

One of the firewalls established after Vietnam was an absolute prohibition on U.S. intelligence agencies collecting information on U.S. citizens on U.S. territory. Overseas operations were still constricted and regulated by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and establishment of special secret courts (FISA courts) to obtain surveillance warrants against U.S. citizens overseas or engaged in activity suspected of posing

LETTERS from page 15

when you do a bunch of something, something else is affected.

Some ask if a little extra CO2 might be beneficial. Fair question, but as scientists have done the investigations needed, it has become very clear that we are in deep doo-doo with difficult decisions to make.

We have an opportunity of incredible proportions. Building railroads, freeways, the internet, and the space program all led to huge increases in jobs and wealth.

Now we should become world leaders in the technology needed to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

We need visionary leaders, not oldschool deniers, to make this happen.

The jobs, jobs, jobs this can create would be a huge economic boost, and we could show the world how California can lead and be proud of the world we leave to our children.

And of course, there is one more upside: We won’t go splat.

Dan Cook Templeton

But on scientific matters, we depend on experts who have deeply studied a subject, whose findings have been checked and rechecked by other experts, and proven out as time and more information come along.

In the matter of global warming, the scientific evidence is overwhelming that the main cause is the increase in CO2 due to fossil fuel burning. More than 95 percent of experts in this field agree, and their expertise is what we base our collective action on.

While there are a few citizens who, for their own reasons, deny this, they are incorrect and risk severe damage to the world we all must live in. If they only harmed their personal slice of the world, like in politics, they would be welcome to their own opinions. But they harm the world of all of us, and in so doing put our children’s lives in future danger.

Like the story of someone who doesn’t believe in gravity, and jumps off a roof to prove it, they still go splat. Denying planetary warming doesn’t make it go away, and the result will be that we all go splat.

We’ve been digging up “dead dinosaurs” and injecting them into the atmosphere— when burning coal, oil, and gas—for almost 200 years. Common sense demands there must be some effect from this: as with everything else on Earth,

a national security risk. Only a select few, very high-ranking officials were authorized to request “unmasking” of a U.S. citizen’s identity when electronic communications were intercepted involving U.S. citizens by intelligence agencies surveilling enemy agents.

Since 9/11, this system has broken down. The most egregious abuse is the FBI infiltration of the Trump campaign in the 2016 election. It was illegal use of the FISA courts that led to the entire story of conspiracy and collusion by President Trump and his aides with the Russians, all based upon a manufactured dossier provided by Russian intelligence agents.

The Russians are well versed in political disruption operations and the hyperpartisanship of high-ranking federal officers led them right into a Russian trap.

For two years we’ve been subjected to a daily barrage of lies—fomented first

by Russian disinformation agents and endlessly repeated by a hyper-partisan, anti-Trump media—that Trump conspired and colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election. All of that exploded on March 24 with the news of Special Counsel Mueller’s report that all but exonerates Trump, his campaign, and all Americans caught up in his investigation of conspiring or colluding with Russia. Unfortunately, Mueller failed in his duty as a prosecutor to either exonerate or indict regarding the issue of obstruction of justice.

Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz (a self-identified Democrat,

liberal, and Clinton supporter) has steadfastly maintained that the president acted fully within his constitutional authority to fire former FBI Director James Comey (for anything) or to ask if the Justice Department could go easy on former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Dershowitz pointed out that President Trump took no further action regarding Flynn, and unlike Nixon 50 years before, Trump didn’t destroy evidence, suborn perjury from subordinates, or lie under oath— all of which were outside of Nixon’s constitutional authority.

That isn’t good enough for congressional House Democrats who continue to repeat the “collusion” lie, ignore exculpatory evidence in front of them, and continue to foment political discontent within the nation.

Last week, New Times commentator Amy Hewes expressed outrage that “Trump is about to cut food services nationwide.” I share her concern about the vulnerable being forgotten, along with many other urgent national issues.

However, her outrage is misplaced, as all spending bills originate in the Democratcontrolled House of Representatives. They will be making budget cuts, not Trump, no matter his proposals. Unfortunately, so deep is their hatred of Trump that House Democrats have decided to continue endless investigations of Trump while legislation to address the business of the nation falls by the wayside. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35-year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder

Art of the deal A

pparently the only member on the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors who paid close attention to our president’s crowning achievement before he became president—having somebody else write a book on dealmaking and then saying he wrote it—is 4th District Supervisor Lynn “Hammer Out A Deal” Compton.

Our Negotiator In-Chief has pulled us out of so many deals (and hasn’t really negotiated any) that I’m starting to wonder if he actually knows what a deal is. But still, he released his part memoir, part business-advice manifesto “The Art of the Deal” to the world in 1987.

Board Chair and 1st District Supervisor John “You Do It” Peschong placed all of his faith in Compton’s dealmaking prowess to negotiate what essentially amounts to a settlement between parties in Peschong’s district over growing cannabis. He passed the blame baton on the Great York Mountain Road Pot Debacle to Compton, whose recent re-election to her seat assures that she won’t take a hit in the 2020 election—because she’s not running. In a very unusual step, the board took a recess on March 26 during a public hearing on an appeal to the project, to do a little shady backroom wheeling

and dealing.

The initial 10 to 15 minutes Peschong allotted to this odd private conversation in the middle of a public workday for our elected county officials turned into almost an hour! This was due in part to the appellant, who, by the way, lives nowhere near the project: famed Templeton restaurant entrepreneur Ian McPhee, the owner and operator of McPhee’s Grill. He was unsatisfied with the terms outlined in the county ordinance that allows for cannabis growing permits, which basically took two years for the county to hammer out (See what I did there?). Where were you then, McPhee?

He was unhappy that after five years, a cannabis grower needs to reapply for a permit. The project applicant had already agreed to remove all of its outdoor grows from the operation, and reduced its size by one-seventh of where it started— but McPhee said he wasn’t looking for something that could change in five years.

It needed to be permanent.

“When I said no grow, I meant no grow,” he told supervisors during public comment, at which point, I’m not sure which of our conservative bedfellows started shaking in their boots first.

I guess when McPhee wants something, he gets what he wants—and again, why

does he care? He’s not the neighbor who complained to the Board of Supervisors that nobody would come to their wine estate pool party because the smell of pot is lingering in the air—which isn’t true. I would totally go to that pool party.

Hmm, is there something I’m missing?

When did McPhee start running the county? When did it become OK to cowtow to a constituent who doesn’t like the ordinances that we’ve spent a bucket load of money and public meeting time to put in place? Whelp. The county couldn’t condition the project in perpetuity, so there needed to be private dealmaking between the appellant and the applicant.

And apparently, Compton was the woman for the job.

County Counsel Rita Neal was OK with the move, so it must be legal.

Honestly, she was probably just relieved that the Board of Supervisors didn’t condition the project itself. Honestly, I’m just mad that I couldn’t watch the WWE match that would have ensued between Compton and her liberal colleagues over what should be done! I feel swindled!

“In a way this board has dodged having to dig in and make a difficult decision on a very significant issue that’s going to be before us for some time,” 2nd District Supervisor Bruce “The Condescending-Yet-Correct Pontificator” Gibson said. “In my mind this does not set a precedent or standard over what’s necessary to approve cannabis cultivation operations in this county.”

Bruce, baby. I believe this sets a precedent that a private sesh with an

applicant and an appellant during a public meeting is indeed A-OK. As far as cannabis goes, the only precedent that this board has set is being slow as molasses when it comes to approving projects and that the conservative board members are chicken shits because they’re so afraid of losing votes for upholding the laws that they themselves have put into place!

Thankfully, we’ve also got Puppy Gate 2019 to distract ourselves with! The Animal Kingdom Pet Shop is in deep doggy doo doo once again over its dealings with faraway puppy providers. Yes, folks, passionate puppy lovers are not to be trifled with! And neither are people who fork out between $1,200 to $1,500 for a dog that is legally required to come from a rescue operation. Who does that?

Go to Woods Humane Society people.

The adoption fee is small and the puppies are cute AF! Bark Adoptions Rescue, which Animal Kingdom gets its puppies from, is being investigated for being shady all over the state—San Diego County is fining stores that deal with the “rescue” $500 per pet, but SLO County seems to think everything is all good in the dog hood.

But don’t worry. If No More Pet Store Puppies 805 and its founder Christine Collier have anything to say about it, there’s definitely going to be a WWE takedown of Animal Kingdom—and I’m not getting shafted this time! ∆ The Shredder likes ringside seats. Send comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

So Not Starkey

BY CAMILLIA LANHAM

PHOTO COURTESY OF STEEL PULSE

Step out ut Get your reggae on with some of the greats

W

hen I got my first cellphone at the age of 23, it was a flip phone. You could record sound with it and then set it to be the phone’s ringtone. Very techy! My first ringtone ever? “Steppin’ Out” off Steel Pulse’s Earth Crisis album.

Very hippy!

Well, I was in Santa Cruz, so don’t judge. I had a friend who did plenty of that! He would make fun of me every time my phone rang because it was a song released in 1984—and it was reggae. Who doesn’t like reggae? My favorite song from that album was “Roller Skates.”

“Up comes this guy in his flashy car/ In his mouth stuck a big cigar/ Needed my help said he lost his way/ I never heard a word he said/ To find some street, said he wanted instructions/ So I turned down the music/ To point out directions, guess what?/ Guy jumped on me messed up my clothes/ Smashed and grabbed my radio/ Calling all detectives/ A criminal at large smoking/ A big fat cigar in a flashy car/ And thin him some superstar.

“Life, life without music/ I can’t go no/ Life without music I can’t go.”

I totally agree. Life without music would suck.

The British reggae act is considered one of the best to come off the island and was the first non-Jamaican act to win the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. Steel Pulse has been bringing music to life since 1978 and has plans to release their 12th studio album in May.

DANCE CRAZE! DJs Curtis Campbell (left) and Josh Whipple (right), known as The Ideals, will spin vintage ’60s vinyl at SLO’s Giuseppe’s Cucina Rustica on March 30, as part of the 30th annual PushStart Scooter Club’s Rides of March scooter rally.

A provocative lyricist, Romeo gave the reggae world songs like “Chase the Devil” and “Wet Dream”—incidentally, this song’s lyrics were so naughty that it was banned on the radio and still reached No. 10 on the U.K. charts in 1969. After more than 50 years on the road, Romeo rarely tours the U.S. But he’s here and on the West Coast! He cruises through Morro Bay on his way from LA to Santa Cruz.

If you hear the wing-ding-ding of a hundred two-stroke engines, you’ll know you’re in the right place for this year’s annual Push-Start Scooter Club’s Rides of March scooter rally events, which are open to the public.

Things kick off on Friday, March 29, with a 6 p.m. cocktail hour-and-a-half at Madonna Inn, followed by a show at Frog and Peach featuring pop punk by Hayley & The Crushers, Bay Area garage rockers The Outta Sorts, and Bakersfield’s ’60s-style reggae act The

night morphed into a regionally touring musical group that pays tribute to all things Roy. Roy Orbison Returns puts on a musical theater re-creation of Roy Orbison’s 1980s concert era years, complete with costumes, lighting, and staging. The show is 90 minutes with songs that span the 35-year career of Roy Orbison, from his earliest rockabilly days through doowop and into the MTV era.

And if you’re looking for a different kind of tribute band, we’ve got you covered. Which One’s Pink? A Tribute to Pink Floyd plays the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Saturday, March 30 (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $20 at Boo Boo’s; slobrew.com).

The Los Angeles-based nine-member group recently released a two-CD set A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd, featuring 29 LA-area musicians and 30 tracks.

FEEL THE ROOTS Mother Hips frontman Tim Bluhm is on a solo trip with his guitar. He trips right on into The Siren on March 30.

JAZZY JAMS The Cabrillo High School Jazz Band will join Corey’s Rolling Figs Jazz Orchestra at the Basin Street Regulars Sunday session on March 31.

More music …

Tim Bluhn (The Mother Hips) plays the Siren on Saturday, March 30 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $15 presale at Boo Boo’s or ticketfly.com, or $20 at the door) with The Mark Adams Band opening.

As the primary guitarist and singer for The Mother Hips, Bluhm’s been rocking rootsy tunes on Central Coast stages for a while now. In that time, he’s released a slew of his own solo and collaborative projects, toured with Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers, teamed up with The Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, opened up Mission Bells Studio, and started a music festival in Big Sur called Hipnic.

Bluhn cut a new record of his own at the Cash Cabin in Nashville after a speed-flying (like paragliding, but faster and more dangerous) accident landed him in the hospital. With Dave Schools of Widespread Panic in the producer’s chair and a group of music veterans, the album Sorta Survivin’ will be released soon.

Get funky at The Siren with Niki J. Crawford and Prussia on Friday, March 29 (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-over; $13 to $15, at Boo Boo Records or ticketfly.com).

Crawford brings the heat with a “high energy soul get down.” From Springhill, Lousiana, Crawford’s melodic voice will get you grooving with poignant lyrics from her roots. Prussia’s a modern funk

Student named runnerup at poetry recitation competition

San Luis Obispo High School sophomore Penny DellaPelle was named the runner-up for the California State Poetry Out Loud Championship, held in Sacramento on March 11 and 12. This poetry recital competition is the largest of its kind, representing more than 52 counties, 305 schools, and 60,000 students statewide.

DellaPelle recited three poems at the competition: “SelfPortrait as So Much Potential,”

by Chen Chen; “Planetarium,”

by Adrienne Rich; and “The New Colossus,” by Emma Lazarus. The Poetry Out Loud program is intended to help students master memory and public speaking skills, as well as deepen their appreciation for poetry. The competition follows a pyramid structure that starts at the classroom level. Winners advance to a schoolwide competition, then to countywide, statewide, and, finally, nationwide.

Visit poetryoutloud.org to find out more about the Poetry Out Loud program, including past championships, this year’s winners, and next year’s competition.

Jarrett Krosoczka uses graphic novel to tell family story of addiction

H

e was in preschool when he realized something wasn’t quite right. While drawing a picture of his family, now best-selling author Jarrett Krosoczka paused to look around at his classmates’ drawings, none of which included grandparents. But Krosoczka’s grandparents were his de facto parents because his mom was a heroin addict, in and out of rehab, and his dad was a total mystery.

After writing a plethora of children’s and young adult books, including the popular Star Wars: Jedi Academy series, and meeting lots of kids impacted by addiction, Krosoczka knew he had another story left to tell: his own.

Hey, Kiddo, Krosoczka’s young adult graphic novel memoir that came out in October, is a 2019 National Book Award finalist and the 2019 Book to Action selection for the San Luis Obispo Public Libraries.

Krosoczka, who will speak and sign copies of his book at the SLO Public Library on April 10, spoke with New Times about writing, family, and addiction.

IMAGE COURTESY OF JARRETT KROSOCZKA

New Times: Do you remember the first moment that you realized something was different or off about your family?

Jarrett Krosoczka: I remember being in preschool and being asked to draw a portrait of my family. I looked around and it was a lot of mom and dad at home, and I didn’t fit that description. I look at that drawing now as an example of I was a kid who had very loving parents; they just weren’t my birth parents.

NT: At what point did your father start to factor into your life?

JK: When I was in sixth grade, my grandfather told me my father’s first name.

NT: Where was your mom in all this as you were growing up with your grandparents?

JK: She was mostly incarcerated or in halfway homes.

NT: When did you start to have contact with your dad?

JK: He initially reached out to me when I was a teenager, so that was part of the impetus to find him. I sort of dismissed it, but I wanted to find out if I had a brother or sister.

NT: How did your mom’s struggle with addiction end?

Read on

Jarrett Krosoczka, author of Hey, Kiddo, will speak and sign copies of his book at the San Luis Obispo Public Library on April 10 at 6:30 p.m. The SLO Opioid Safety Coalition will also provide resources for programming at the event. Visit slolibrary.org for more information.

Hey, Kiddo is available on Amazon for $8.15 in paperback and for $9.99 as the Kindle edition.

JK: She came out of using and not using until ultimately she lost that battle a few years ago when I was 39. I was kind of dreading it. I really felt in my gut that would be the way it ended for her.

NT: You were nearly finished with Hey, Kiddo when your mom died. How did that impact your telling of the story or your own processing of her death?

JK: It gave me much more sympathy for her, and I realized that she couldn’t help it, up until the very end.

NT: What do you hope that readers take away from Hey, Kiddo?

JK: On the one hand, they’ll feel less alone.

And for people who don’t have this trauma, they’ll have more empathy and understanding of what their peers are going through. ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is the adult child of an addict and writes about the intersection of family and addiction. Share your stories with her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

At the APOLLO 11

Glen The U.S.’s duality, divisive politics, income disparities, and dichotomous class, race, and gender dynamics are addressed here through the analogy between the surface dwelling haves and the below dwelling have-nots. It’s a bit of a call back to the “sunken place” from Get Out. When the attacks start, we see bodies littering the streets as their “others” come to claim their doubles’ place in the prosperous above-ground world.

What’s interesting is that the Wilsons are up to the challenge and give as good as they get, battling their doubles with ferocity. At one point as they’re escaping from their friends’ vacation house, they argue over who should get to drive based on how many kills they’ve made. It’s wry, dark humor, but the larger point is that Adelaide, Gabe, Zora, and Jason are capable of violence. In other words, they’re just like their doubles except they were born into prosperity while their doubles weren’t. The ending—which I don’t want to ruin for you—drives that point home again. The Wilsons are no better than their doubles; they’re just luckier for their opportunities. Remember Childish Gambino’s surprisingly deep video for “This Is America”? Peele’s new film delivers the same sort of humor-laced gut punch. We’re in a bit of a renaissance when it comes to art depicting American race and class inequities.

Putting a man on the moon was a monumental undertaking, which First Man (2018), starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, did a terrific job of fictionalizing. In Apollo 11, we’re watching the real thing, and it’s just as gripping.

Director Miller allows the archival footage and newscaster narration to tell the story, but when the voiceover

alludes to the psychological baggage each astronaut takes into a dangerous space mission with him, we see photos and home movies of their families and test flights that led up to penetrating space—all that came before and all that could be lost.

The documentary reminds viewers that the Vietnam War was raging and the Chappaquiddick incident occurred during the mission—two things competing for news time in an era of three networks.

We were in the midst of the Cold War, and there’s no overstating the sense of pride that flooded the nation. The display of elation from both the NASA workers and the throngs of onlookers, for instance a J.C. Penney’s parking lot full of campers watching the launch and touchdown, is astounding. It’s also fun to see some of the celebrities who attended the launch, such

we’re seeing a calling out of America’s original sin, which continues to haunt and demand a reckoning. “They’re us,” the Wilsons say about their own tormentors.

They are indeed.

Anna The humor is a welcome element in Us, reminding the audience that beyond targets of their doppelgängers, they’re a family with all the average American problems. Their teenager is phone obsessed, their young son a ball of energy, Gabe is sweet but dismissive, and Adelaide protective but—albeit rightly—paranoid. While it falls into the horror genre, Us is much more fluid than one word can contain. It’s horrifying, yes, but in a much quieter way than you expect from a film labeled “horror.” It’s clever and uncomfortable. You are rooting for the good guys, but then you start to wonder about the real differences between good vs. evil. Are “the tethered” justified in the hatred of their more successful foes? They’ve watched for years as others have succeeded and thrived while they’re forced under the world and into the shadows. There’s a lot to unpack here, and admittedly a lot of insight came after time away from the film. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

REVIEW SCORING FULL PRICE .... It’s worth the price of an evening showing MATINEE ........ Save a few bucks, catch an afternoon showing RENT IT .......... It’s worth a rental STREAM IT ..... Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time as Johnny Carson and George C. Scott.

President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger are both on the U.S.S. Hornet when the astronauts are recovered from the ocean. It was a big deal, and Apollo 11 delivers a gripping chronicle of this incredible American achievement.

It’s rated G, but I should warn parents that young children may find the film boring. We had a loud 4-year-old behind us who wouldn’t be quiet and thought the best part of the film was anytime there was a countdown so he could show off his counting skills. I know you want your kids to see this, and they should, but wait for the DVD and show it to them at home when you can answer their questions without having to annoy an entire theater. This is too good to be distracted from. (93 min.)

Filmmaking duo Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra (The Wind Journeys and Embrace the Serpent) direct José Acosta as Rapayet, a man who becomes involved with the marijuana boom in Colombia, a business that ends up destroying his family’s lives and indigenous culture. The story is based on actual events during the Bonanza Marimbera, an era when people in northern Colombia became involved in drug smuggling.

Gallego and Guerra are less interested in making another grandiose story of drug trafficking and more focused on humanizing a story about a family’s involvement, as well as focusing on an indigenous population that was heavily affected.

The scenes are all bursting with color and sound so immersive that it feels otherworldly.

Gallego and Guerra did their research and worked with their actors to accurately portray the traditions of the Wayúu. The duo also made their crew 30 percent Wayúu to ensure authenticity.

CAPTAIN MARVEL

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Co-writers and directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Mississippi Grind) helm this new installation in the Marvel Universe. In 1995, former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) becomes the superhero Captain Marvel, joining an intergalactic cohort called Starforce before returning home to discover Earth is caught in a war between two alien species.

The plot is a bit more complicated than what’s above. The story opens when Vers, as Carol is known in the Kree capital planet of Hala, is training to become a Kree warrior. Her problem, as her training partner and team leader Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) tells her, is she can’t control her emotions when she’s in battle. Vers is a bit of hot mess. Women, right?

She suffers from nightmares involving another woman (Annette Bening), and she doesn’t remember her past. Much of the film moves back and forth in time as Carol slowly pieces together her life before she became a Kree fighter and member of Starforce, which is at war with the Skrulls, shape-shifting aliens who can disguise themselves as anyone they come in contact with.

I don’t want to give too much of the inventive plot away. Part of the film’s fun is that viewers are as much in the dark about Carol’s past and what’s happening between the Kree and the Skrulls as she is. Suffice it to say, the story heats up when Carol eventually find herself back on Earth, where her arrival, crashing through the roof of a Blockbuster Video store and finding communication gear at a Radio Shack—yes, it’s definitely 1995—draws the attention of the authorities, specifically Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), an agent of a fledgling covert group called S.H.I.E.L.D. Overall, it’s an entertaining origin story of Captain Marvel as well as a rousing feminist saga as Carol discovers who she is and what she’s capable of.

I wasn’t sure how Brie Larson would be as Captain Marvel, but thankfully she approaches the role with humor. Gotta love an actress named after cheese, right? Superhero movies that take themselves too seriously are usually terrible, which is why Thor: The Dark World (2013) was a bit of a dud for me while Thor: Ragnarok (2017) was a blast. Superhero stories are inherently ridiculous, and when the stories and characters acknowledge that, even winkingly, they’re more fun.

Vers comes off as irreverent and bordering on disrespectful of her superiors. As she learns more about her past, she begins to suspect she’s been manipulated. She eventually locates her old pilot friend, Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch), now retired from the Air Force and living a quiet life with her daughter, Monica (Akira Akbar), who still remembers Auntie Carol from the old days. Vers makes a great role model for Monica, who also gets to see her mom get back into pilot action.

Jackson as Nick Fury has a lot of fun in his role and doesn’t seem phased by the strong women around him, but the film’s scene stealer is Goose, a big orange tabby.

With lots of great action sequences, solid special effects, and a classic tee-up for future sequels, Captain Marvel manages to entertain and inspire without resorting to didactic lecturing, but viewers will certainly be reminded of the old adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” (124 min.)

CONTROVERSIAL MEMOIR A former Planned Parenthood clinic director (Ashley Bratcher) becomes an anti-abortion activist, in Unplanned.

The five-chapter story looks at the Colombian drug trade from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The film opens up with Zaida’s (Natalia Reyes) coming-of-age ceremony in a small village of a Wayúu population.

The Wayúu are an indigenous population in northern Colombia whose language and customs survived the Spanish conquest. The peaceful people are ranchers and farmers who also reside in large patches of desert and resolve conflict through communication.

As Zaida performs a dancing ritual in her red dress and wrap, Rapayet courts her and approaches her mother, Ursula (Carmiña Martínez), to ask for Zaida’s hand in marriage.

But the matriarch is skeptical of Rapayet; he’s been exposed to modern life outside of the Wayúu people, and she fears that will taint their culture. She demands that he bring a dowry that includes goats, cows, and necklaces—in an amount way beyond his means—in exchange for her daughter.

Rapayet is steadfast in proving himself, so he and his partner Moisés (Jhon Narváez), by chance, learn that some AmeriCorps volunteers are looking to buy marijuana. Instead of hauling sacks of coffee beans, the two start trafficking marijuana. With dowry in hand, Rapayet returns to get his wife and, with some hesitation by Ursula, continues with his new business.

What Rapayet forgot about the business is that the flow of money also brings in the flow of guns, violence, and shady dealings.

But what follows is catastrophic as lust and greed that comes with the new riches leads to death, severed family ties, and the end of cultural traditions.

What’s amazing about this film is that it avoids the glorifying narco-style drug trafficking story we’re told of lavish lifestyles, jewelry, cars, and all that money can buy. The changes with Rapayet’s family are large in a sense but PHOTO COURTESY OF NETFLIX

RUSSIAN DOLL

When? 2019 What’s it rated? TV-MA Where? Netflix

C

reators Leslye Headland, Natasha Lyonne, and Amy Poehler have come together to direct Lyonne (Orange is the New Black) as Nadia, a woman stuck reliving the eve of her birthday, and sometimes the next day if she plays her cards right.

I’ll try not to give too much away here, but Russian Doll follows Nadia through the night of her birthday celebration. One of her best friends, Maxine (Greta Lee), has thrown her a party in an artsy flat in New York City, of course, that’s overflowing with people.

The scene opens up with Nadia standing in front of a bathroom mirror bracing herself with the reality of turning another year older and having to mingle with people at the party.

She hears a knock at the door, turns the water faucet off, grabs the doorknob (which is a pistol), opens the door as two women walk into the bathroom, and then she walks into the kitchen where Maxine greets her by saying, “Happy Birthday, baby.”

She meets some random guy who’s a real pompous know-it-all and goes home with him.

Nadia needs cigarettes, so they head to the

local liquor store, and she sees her missing cat, Oatmeal, across the street.

Without checking for traffic—did your mother teach you nothing?—she runs right into the crosswalk where she’s hit by a taxi.

Dead on impact, Nadia is lying in the street with blood trickling out of her mouth.

And then, as if it were all a dream, Nadia finds herself in front of the bathroom mirror of Maxine’s flat once again. A confused Nadia tries to do the night all over again, but her death is different. Needless to say, she dies a couple more times until she realizes she’s in a constant loop.

Of course, the show centers on Nadia trying to figure out what wrongs she needs to right in order to avoid constantly dying. It’s a good thing she soon learns she’s not alone when she happens to meet Alan (Charlie Barnett)— and that’s all I can say without giving away too much.

If you’re old enough—I’m not saying you’re ancient—you might put 2 and 2 together and remember one of Natasha’s first roles in the entertainment business, as Opal on PeeIN THE NEXT LIFE Nadia wee’s Playhouse. Or maybe you’ll remember has some demons she needs the large-eyed, curly haired actress as Nicky to come to terms with to get Nichols from Orange is the New Black. Her latest role in Russian Doll is far different from through the never-ending loop these other performances, but she still keeps of reliving her birthday night. her cheeky wit throughout her scenes.

The storyline idea isn’t a new one; we’ve together as the story progresses, and, even if seen it in Groundhog Day and recently in you think you know what’s going to happen, Happy Death Day. But what makes this there are plenty of twists. Δ show worth binging is the characters are —Karen Garcia memorable, the puzzle pieces effortlessly go

Farm fresh A trip to Blosser Urban Garden in Santa Maria

C

alifornians are spoiled.

As a native Californian, I’ve heard the sentiment from a lot of people living both in and outside the state over the years. The natural instinct is to protest the claim. Pointing out the cripplingly high cost of living and housing, the near-total lack of public transportation, seasonal floods and fires, and the Kardashians make strong counterpoints to such claims. But deep inside, I know that they are at least partially right. We’ve got sun, beaches, and amazingly diverse urban cities, as well as great swathes of naturally beautiful wilderness.

Oh yeah. And the food too.

It took me moving out of state and then coming back to truly appreciate how good the food in California is. What kind of food specifically? Literally all of it. Pick a style, flavor, or ingredient, and you can find somewhere in our state where it’s served expertly and hailed by patrons or food critics as the best they’ve ever had.

If you’re living on the Central Coast, you know this better than most. From north to south, we’ve got some of the tastiest bites you can find anywhere.

From seafood, to Mexican food, to Chinese food, to barbecue, there’s really no way to go wrong when you want to scarf down

something truly delicious.

But as good as that food is, it’s easy to forget just where it comes from and just how deeply our region is connected to all that great food. This is something I’m reminded of as my fiancée and I pay a visit to the Blosser Urban Garden in Santa Maria.

It’s early March, and the Blosser Urban Garden (BUG for short) is a farm and farm stand located at 915 S. Blosser Road.

The farm certainly stands out. The old wood stand, large white two-story home, and accompanying farm sit in a semicommercial and industrial part of the city, flanked by automotive repair shops and a beer distribution company. With its stately house, quaint farm stand, and vibrant green farm, the urban garden stands out like a tiny oasis from its surroundings.

It’s our first time visiting the farm stand, and we are greeted by two friendly dogs the moment we step out of the car.

They are soon followed by BUG’s owner, Jerry Mahoney. He’s friendly and chatty as we root through boxes of beautiful produce, selecting artichokes, kale, and some daikon radishes to take home with us.

Before we leave, Jerry is kind enough to give us a tour of the farm, which is a symphony of bright colors and smells,

FIELD OF GREENS Blosser Urban Garden in Santa Maria offers sustainable fresh produce grown locally.

thanks to recent rainfall. I trudge through the damp soil (new sneakers be dammed) as he proudly points out all of the fresh, organically grown produce that would soon be making its way to the stand or the subscription produce boxes that BUG now delivers. We stop by the farm’s chicken coop while Mahoney talks with my fiancée about urban gardening.

By the time we leave the stand, it’s become clear that Mahoney has a deep passion for local, sustainable, organic farming. Not only am I grateful to have access to such fresh and local food, but also it reminds me of how deeply farming and produce are connected to the area.

Living here, it’s easy to drive past the

@getoutslo

farms and fields of produce or the large herd of cattle grazing, and forget the connection agriculture has to what ends up on our plate when we sit down to one of those amazing meals anywhere on the Central Coast.

Yes, we are spoiled by so much amazing food, but how often do we think about where it comes from, how it’s produced, and who and what we support when we eat it. For those, like me, who don’t do that very often, getting out to places like BUG is all the more important.

Kick it root down Celery root is a unique root vegetable to try during late spring

I

have an unabashed love for ugly produce.

For decades, Americans have been trained by commercials and mass marketing to believe that the best vegetables are the ones that look like they walked off a Chanel runway—marked by bright exaggerated colors, flawless skin, and a shape most bikini models would envy. But we know that’s all b.s. (pardon my French).

Vegetables don’t come out of the ground looking camera ready. They’re often dirty and gnarled, yet ultimately wholly and beautifully imperfect. Take the celery root for example. Here’s a weird and funky looking vegetable that holds so many great culinary treasures yet doesn’t get nearly as much spotlight as some of its prettier cohorts like rainbow carrots or turnips.

So what the hell exactly is a celery root, also known as celeriac? (Is it celery?

Why are we eating its root?) For some of those questions, I turned to Matt Hiltner, marketing coordinator for Babé Farms in Santa Maria.

“Celery root is a different crop than celery,” he said. “It’s a different variety of the same plant. Whereas traditional celery

is bred more for the stalks, celery root is bred more for the roots.”

Because of that, unlike its namesake relative, the stalks of celery roots are very fibrous and practically inedible. They can be used to flavor soups or stocks, but you won’t enjoy snacking on them with peanut butter or your favorite veggie dip. It’s the

COMPLEX CREATIONS At SY Kitchen in Santa Ynez, chef Luca Crestanelli prefers to use celery root raw, soaked in a bit of water and lemon and then julienned for a salad.

Keeping it raw preserves some of its distinct flavor, and the texture makes it a perfect accompaniment to a dish with a lot of bright vegetables.

Celery root can also be enjoyed roasted “It’s honestly one of my favorite items (which is what I often do with it).

GRAND OPENING

We’re looking for that certain someone who can see the nuances that make a chef, farmer, or winemaker special—a writer who can tease the most out of an interview, a bite of food, or a sip of liquid. Someone who not only knows food, but cares about the people making it and where they came from.

FLAVOR is about more than food and drink. It’s about understanding the work that goes into producing and participating in the chain that leads to your table and into your mouth—and being able to put that on paper in a way that’s meaningful to our readers.

This is a freelance position with weekly deadlines. Think you have what it takes? Prove it.

“We peel it and then we slice it thin,” he said. “It does tend to oxidize very quickly, so you want to put it in water [with] lemon.

That’s how it should be handled, and then you can add it to things like salads.”

He said it tastes better when paired with something bitter, including lettuces such as radicchio, endive, or arugula. At SY Kitchen, celery root is included in their pea salad, which includes sugar snap peas, English peas, walnuts, arugula, and a lemon vinaigrette dressing.

So next time you’re at the grocery store or farm stand, give this plucky underdog vegetable a chance, despite its twisted, funky looks. Whether in soups or raw in salads, it’s definitely a fun way to shake things up in your kitchen. ∆ Sun Arts and Lifestyle Writer, Rebecca Rose, has strong roots.

NEWS NIBBLES SWEET TOOTH Go nuts: Fans of SLODOCO already know that the eccentric, creative, and delicious doughnut creator opened a second location on Tuesday, March 26, because every other media outlet in the San Luis Obispo County has covered it ad nauseam. But because we aren’t haters, I’m here to say that I am very excited about having a SLOCOCO in Atascadero, because there are days when I want a doughnut on my way to work in the morning—and I’m not the only one who’s been salivating. The shop at 6917 E. El Camino Real in Colony Square opened to a crowd of fans. The spot will be open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. And, they’re hiring doughnut slingers for the A-Town location right now (check out slodoco.com/ apply for more info) … Doc Burnstein’s must have been in the mood for changes.

In addition to offering ice cream delivery, the parlor is announcing more changes in its push to become a national brand and to open 100 neighborhood ice cream parlors throughout California.

Michael Boyer, previously the chief operating officer at Digital West, was appointed as the corporation’s new CEO while Doc’s founder, Greg Steinberger, is now the chairman of the board.

CAN SEASON Beer me: Barrelhouse Brewing Co. released two of its top sellers in a package that you can take almost anywhere. Sunny Daze and Mango IPA are now available in 12 ounce cans, with plans for more canned Barrelhouse goodness on the way. You can now take the cans along with that swimsuitready summer body to the beach, lake, or creek of your choice. Why cans? “Because we finally can!” owner Jason Carvalho said in a press release. Get it? I do. Six packs should be available at most major Central Coast retailers starting in late March 2019. That’s right now! … The second annual Central Coast Craft Beer Festival is happening this Saturday, March 30, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Sunken Gardens in Atascadero. With more than 40 breweries from Monterey to Ventura and cider and wine, you probably shouldn’t miss it. Bear Market Riot, Wall of Tom, and Dj Hecktik will keep your mood groovin’. Plus, my weather app says the high that day is going to be 71 degrees,

and it’s supposed to be sunny, so get your sunscreen out (general admission is $35 and you must be 21 years old to enter; visit centralcoastbrewersguild.com/cccbf2019 for more information or to buy tickets) …

Feel like filling up on the hippest super bloom around? Stop by the Ancient Peaks tasting room on your way out to Carrizo Plain National Monument and grab a boxed lunch from the Ancient Peaks Café for $14. It comes with a sandwich and a bag of chips—and, you know, a bottle of wine is always an option (café open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily at 22720 El Camino Real in Santa Margarita).

NIPOMO STYLE Bite this: Jocko’s Steakhouse is getting some upgrades. It’s got a new paint job, more covered outdoor seating for your long wait time, and a couple of new menu items. Cheese steak fries for one. And I’m not talking about the thickcut fries. I’m talking about fries topped with Jocko’s delicious steak, cheese, onions, and peppers. I’m totally down for a seat at the bar and big ol’ plate of that. I don’t like to wait (visit 125 N. Thompson Ave.) … Adelina’s Bistro is joining Trilogy’s nationwide restaurant week from April 2 to 7 to celebrate their focus on quality culinary exploits. The restaurant at Monarch Dunes will be serving a special menu after 5 p.m.—ahi tuna carpaccio, spring mixed greens with an agave vinaigrette, grilled Pacific swordfish or roasted lamb chops, and a chocolate ganache cheesecake—for $42. And you can get it paired with wine for an extra $22 (1645 Trilogy Parkway in Nipomo). ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham likes a side of beef with her wine. Send your nibbles and bites to clanham@newtimesslo.com.

D INE ’N’ DISH Take it to the salami shop

I’ll take a salami shop over a candy shop any day of the week. And on March 21, I did just that. For once in my weekday life, I was in Atascadero before Emporio Alle-Pia closed. So I stopped on by, because what else is there to do in the middle of a workday? The local handcrafted Italian salumi did not disappoint. This little slice of Italianinspired meat heaven is brought to you by the family that owns Buona Tavola Italian restaurant, and they do their salami right (no nitrates or nitrites). Tasting through Alle-Pia’s seven varieties, my favorite was the Calabrese. It’s a drier, spicier salami that’s reminiscent of pepperoni—only it’s way better. Made with red wine, fennel, cayenne, and paprika, it’s ready for some cheese plate snacking. Incidentally, Alle-Pia Fine Cured Meats, also sells a fabulous Italian Gorgonzola cheese that will blow your mind. It’s sweet and nutty, with just the right amount of blue to take you to your happiest place.

Visit the Emporio at 8390 El Camino Real in Atascadero from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, where a vacuum-sealed pack of Calabrese salami is $16. You can also order online at allepiasalumi.com. ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is down with salami. Tell her about your foodie happy place at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

The project also includes the use of an existing 3,200-square-foot building for manufacturing, and a non-storefront dispensary.

Ancillary uses include maintaining the supporting nursery and processing activities such as drying, curing, and trimming. Additional site improvements include development of an 80,000-square-foot groundmounted solar array, installation of a new septic system, improvements to existing access roads, and the removal of 42 almond trees.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What’s the best joke or prank you could play on yourself?

Freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Kermit the Frog from Sesame Street is the world’s most famous puppet. He has recorded songs, starred in films and TV shows, and written an autobiography. His image has appeared on postage stamps, and he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Kermit’s beginnings were humble, however. When his creator Jim Henson first assembled him, he consisted of Henson’s mom’s green coat and two halves of a white pingpong ball. I mention this, Aries, because the current astrological omens suggest that you, too, could make a puppet that will one day have great influence. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. Here’s the whole truth: Now isn’t a favorable time to start work on a magnificent puppet. But it is a perfect moment to launch the rough beginnings of a project that’s well suited for your unique talents.

TAURUS

(us)

35,000 18,000

(April 20-May 20): Taurus businessman Chuck Feeney made a huge fortune as the entrepreneur who co-developed duty-free shopping. But at age 87, he lives frugally, having given away $8 billion to philanthropic causes. He doesn’t even own a house or car. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to follow his lead in the coming weeks. Be unreasonably generous and exorbitantly helpful. APRIL FOOL! I exaggerated a bit. While it’s true that now is an extra favorable time to bestow blessings on everyone, you shouldn’t go overboard.

Make sure your giving is artful, not careless or compulsive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Now is a perfect time to start learning the Inuktitut language spoken by the indigenous people of Eastern Canada. Here are some key phrases to get you underway. 1. UllusiuKattagit inosek: Celebrate your life!

2. Pitsialagigavit, piggogutivagit!: Because you’re doing amazing things, I’m proud of you! 3. Nalligijauvutit: You are loved! 4. Kajusitsiatuinnagit: Keep it up! APRIL FOOL! I lied. Now isn’t really a better time than any other to learn the Inuktitut language. But it is an important time to talk to yourself using phrases like those I mentioned. You need to be extra kind and super positive toward yourself.

(June 21-July 22): When he was 20 years old, Greek military leader Alexander the Great began to conquer the world.

By age 30, he ruled the vast territory between Greece and northwest India. Never shy about extolling his own glory, he named 70 cities after himself. I offer his example as a model for you. Now is a favorable time to name clouds after yourself, as well as groves of trees, stretches of highway, buses, fire hydrants, parking spaces, and rocks. APRIL FOOL! I got a bit carried away. It’s true that now is a good time to assert your authority, extend your clout, and put your unique stamp on every situation. But I don’t recommend that you name entire cities after yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Now is an excellent time to join an exotic religion. How about the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which believes that true spiritual devotion requires an appreciation of satire? Or how about Discordianism, which worships the goddess of chaos and disorder? Then there’s the United Church of Bacon, whose members exult in the flavor of their favorite food. (Here’s a list of more: tinyurl. com/WeirdReligions.) APRIL FOOL! I wasn’t entirely truthful.

It’s accurate to say that now is a great time to reinvigorate and transform your spiritual practice. But it’s better if you figure that out by yourself. There’s no need to get your ideas from a bizarre cult.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Studies show that people who love grilled cheese sandwiches engage in more sexual escapades than those who don’t gorge on grilled cheese sandwiches. So I advise you to eat a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches, because then you will have more sex than usual. And that’s important, because you are now in a phase when you will reap huge healing benefits from having as much sex as possible. APRIL FOOL! I lied when I implied that eating more grilled cheese

sandwiches would motivate you to have more sex. But I wasn’t lying when I said that you should have more sex than usual.

And I wasn’t lying when I said you will reap huge benefits from having as much sex as possible. (P.S. If you don’t have a partner, have sex with your fantasies or yourself.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you ever spend time at the McMurdo Station in Antarctica, you’ll get a chance to become a member of the 300 Club. To be eligible, you wait till the temperature outside drops to minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

When it does, you spend 20 minutes in a sauna heated to 200 degrees. Then you exit into the snow and ice wearing nothing but white rubber boots, and run a few hundred feet to a ceremonial pole and back. In so doing, you expose your naked body to a swing of 300 degrees. According to my astrological analysis, now is an ideal time to pull off this feat. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I’m not really urging you to join the 300 Club. On the other hand, I do think it’s a favorable phase to go to extremes for an authentically good cause.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scientific research shows that if you arrange to get bitten by thousands of mosquitoes in a relatively short time, you make yourself immune. Forever after, mosquito bites won’t itch you. Now would be an excellent time for you to launch such a project. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I don’t really think you should do that. On the contrary, you should scrupulously avoid irritations and aggravations, especially little ones. Instead, immerse yourself in comfort and ease. Be as free from vexation as you have ever been!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If allowed to do what comes naturally, two rabbits and their immediate descendants will produce 1,300 new rabbits in 12 months’ time. In five years, their offspring would amount to 94 million. I suspect that you will approach this level of fertility in the next four weeks, at least in a metaphorical sense. APRIL FOOL! I stretched the truth a bit. There’s no way you will produce more than a hundred good new ideas and productions and gifts. At the most, you’ll generate a mere 50.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The weather is warm year-round and the crime rate is low on Pitcairn, a remote South Pacific island that’s a 30-hour boat ride away from the nearest airport. The population has been dwindling in recent years, however, which is why the government offers foreigners free land if they choose to relocate. You might want to consider taking advantage of this opportunity. APRIL FOOL! I was exaggerating. It’s true that you could get major health benefits by taking a sabbatical from civilization. But there’s no need to be so drastic about it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You don’t have to run faster than the bear that’s chasing you. You just have to run faster than the slowest person the bear is chasing. OK? So don’t worry!

APRIL FOOL! What I just said wasn’t your real horoscope. I hope you know me well enough to understand that I would NEVER advise you to save your own ass by betraying or sacrificing someone else. It’s also important to note that the bear I mentioned is entirely metaphorical in nature. So please ignore what I said earlier. However, I do want you to know that there are effective ways to elude the symbolic bear that are also honorable. To discover them, meditate on calming down the beastly bearlike qualities in yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Now is a favorable time to disguise yourself as a bland nerd with no vivid qualities, or a shy wallflower with no strong opinions, or a polite wimp who prefers to avoid adventure. Please don’t even consider doing anything that’s too interesting or controversial. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, I hope you’ll do the opposite of what I suggested. I think it’s time to express your deep authentic self with aggressive clarity. Be brave and candid and enterprising. ∆
