Stalwork and SLO clash over downtown building’s color

PHOTO BY PETER JOHNSON

T

he city of San Luis Obispo calls it “heavy” and “monolithic.”

Some locals described it as “handsome” and “beautiful.” Another said it’s “awful.”

Construction firm Stalwork Inc.’s new downtown office building on the corner of Santa Rosa and Marsh streets has made a big splash in the community since its unveiling earlier this year. Painted a dark gray color with wood wall accents, the three-story structure replaced the shuttered Heritage Oaks Bank and has elicited a range of reactions.

“What an improvement to the Santa Rosa corridor and a very beautiful and welcome change from the typical mission/Mediterranean buildings,” local attorney Susan Thompson wrote in an email to Stalwork, one of dozens praising the building published in an upcoming City Council agenda packet.

Resident Judy Jones wasn’t such a fan.

“I have so detested the color on the building,” she said at a recent SLO Architectural Review Commission (ARC) meeting. “It stands out terribly with all the other buildings around it.

It’s just awful.”

SLO city officials have their own view of it—that Stalwork skirted the city’s conditions of approval by altering the color (and some of the design features) required for the building.

The ARC in 2015 wanted a lighter, two-color scheme to “lessen the perceived massiveness of the building as a whole,” according to a city staff report. The city also requested installation of a cut-stone bulkhead along the Marsh Street side—which isn’t there.

“The approved design and colors were changed without approval,” the city report states. “The new color scheme results in a building that is perceptibly heavier and more massive.”

In May, after the building was completed, SLO hit Stalwork with a notice of violation and demanded compliance.

Stalwork brought the issue back to the ARC on Sept. 11, GRAY AREA The SLO City Council will decide on Oct. 3 whether Stalwork asking for a revision of its Inc. has to repaint its new office building to a lighter color scheme. prior conditions, which the ARC denied. Stalwork “This isn’t the normal process for requesting has appealed that decision a modification to building color. The owner’s to the SLO City Council, which will make a decision to apply a different color … could decision on the building on Oct. 3. ultimately make the owner subject to daily fines Stalwork representative Ben Kulick, who if it is not corrected,” city planner Tyler Corey didn’t return requests for comment from wrote in an email to New Times. “Now, the City New Times before press time, argued to city Council has the option to approve the color as officials that the building, as is, complies with applied, require the building to be painted to the community design guidelines that all the previously approved colors, or to approve a development has to adhere to. different color scheme.”

“It’s not about like or dislike. … I completely Micah Smith, a local architect, advocated to agree that I’ve heard people don’t like this the ARC for preserving a fair and transparent building and I’ve heard people like this process for vetting all projects. building,” Kulick told the ARC. “We feel very “For me, what’s important is there’s a strongly that if you read the guidelines, that predictable and fair process in the design review building also fits the guidelines. This is the that all of us have to go through and adhere to, process to ask for a modification.”

SLO city staff disputed Kulick’s interpretation so we’re playing by the same game,” he said. ∆ of the situation.

Wallace Group lands county contract, founder’s criminal cases continue

cases, the local engineering firm Wallace Group landed a contract with SLO County.

At its Sept. 26 meeting, the SLO County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a contract worth up to $658,429 for engineering consultant services for a construction project on Avila Beach Drive at the Highway 101 interchange. The approval came after the board heard concerns from some community members over the pending charges against John Lee Wallace, the company’s founder, in connection with his past work for two SLO County special districts.

“I think we have plenty of other consultants,” said SLO County resident Lindy Owen. “I wish you would take Wallace and put him at the bottom of the list … some of the behavior has been pretty questionable.”

In January, Wallace was charged with two felony and two misdemeanor counts for allegedly breaking conflict of interest laws in connection with his tenure as the administrator for the South SLO County Sanitation District. Wallace allegedly used his position to make, participate in, and influence governmental decisions in which he had a financial interest, according to the SLO County District Attorney’s Office.

Prior to the charges, an independent audit commissioned by the sanitation district’s board of directors raised concerns that Wallace may have used his position at the district to acquire administrative and engineering work for his company between 2011 and 2013. Wallace left the sanitation district in 2013.

The DA’s office filed additional felony and

misdemeanor charges against Wallace in June in connection with Wallace’s time as general manager of the Avila Beach Community Services District (CSD). Those charges allege that, between 1995 and 2013, Wallace used his official position with the CSD to encourage its board of directors to approve a contract with another company he owned at the time, Fluid Resource Management (FRM).

Wallace has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him, and his cases remain ongoing in SLO Superior Court.

Shortly after the newer charges were filed, SLO County 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton referenced Wallace’s legal troubles when she voted against giving the company a county contract for on-call consulting services in May. That contract still passed on a 3-1 vote.

Compton voted in favor of the interchange contract at the Sept. 26 meeting.

Speaking to the supervisors prior to Sept.

26 vote, Wallace Group CEO Brad Brechwald indicated that Wallace himself had taken a back seat at the company, stating that he sold off his shares in the firm and had transitioned from its manager and owner to one of its employees.

“John will have his day in court,” Brechwald told the supervisors. “Wallace Group is a very strong and healthy company, as we have been for 30 years.”

Brechwald said that Wallace Group was now a “fully employee-owned company.” According to the Wallace Group website, John Wallace is NEWS continued page 6

Paso vacation rental regs go to Planning Commission

After nearly two years of community discussion, Paso Robles is poised to pass a vacation rental ordinance to regulate the proliferation of short-term, Airbnb-style rentals in the city.

The ordinance, which will go before the city Planning Commission on Oct. 10, would require vacation rental operators to go through a process of obtaining a rental permit, paying Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT), and abiding by a series of rules designed to preserve neighborhoods.

As they’re written, the rules don’t propose to cap the number of available operating permits or set the locations where rentals are allowed, but it does mention that the Planning Commission and City Council should “thoroughly examine those issues.”

In recent years, Paso’s allure as a tourist destination combined with the ease of running vacation rentals through

websites like Airbnb has created a robust industry. In 2016, licensed vacation rentals generated nearly $250,000 in TOT—but an estimated 100 more weren’t licensed.

“The City Council finds that unregulated ‘home-sharing’ and use of existing housing as short-term rentals can escalate the demand for city services and create adverse impacts in residential zones,” the ordinance reads.

In applying for a rental permit, an owner must pay a fee (yet to be determined) and submit detailed information about the rental home, including the floor plan, site plan, and evidence that the bedrooms comply with building codes. Rental permits would last three years, but could be renewed.

An operator must ensure that renters sign and are abiding by the “Good Neighbor Brochure”—which hasn’t been made public yet—that will outline occupancy and parking limits, as well as rules around noise and “disorderly conduct.”

The city also plans to establish a complaint “hotline” for neighbors to call when concerns about rentals arise. The hotline would forward the call to the owner of the rental or the police department if necessary. The owner must answer a complaint call within 30 minutes.

Jim Hill faces possible censure

After the findings of an independent misconduct investigation were made public, it’s clear that many of Arroyo Grande Mayor Jim Hill’s elected peers

www.radovich.com

6 • New Times • September 28 - October 5, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

want him off the South SLO County Sanitation District’s board of directors.

The problem is that none of them seem to be sure just how to boot Hill from the three-member board.

Members of the sanitation district’s board voted 2-1 on Sept. 20 to direct its staff to explore drafting a letter to the Arroyo Grande City Council asking its members to remove Hill from his seat on the sanitation district’s board. In addition, the board voted to begin the process of publicly censuring Hill, and directed staff to exclude him from receiving confidential emails related to the sanitation district.

Hill was the lone vote against the measures, while the two other members, Grover Beach Mayor John Shoals and Oceano CSD member Linda Austin, voted

by Jayson Mellom

in favor of them.

The investigation looked into Hill’s actions both in his role on the sanitation district’s board and as Arroyo Grande’s mayor. The investigation concluded that Hill overstepped his bounds as a sanitation district board member by inserting himself into confidential personnel matters, and that he shared privileged attorney-client information and documents to unauthorized third parties.

Shelline Bennett, a lawyer for Liebert Cassidy Whitmore (LCW), the law firm that headed up the investigation, indicated that the board should distance itself from Hill’s actions, or risk facing potential lawsuits.

The housing predicament Median home prices in SLO County are higher than a median-income household can afford

C

hances are, if you work a medianincome job in SLO County, you can’t afford any of the new homes being built on Orcutt Road—starting in the mid-$600,000s. The residences for sale in the Toscano neighborhood near the South Hills—ranging between $590,000 and $760,000—are also probably not an option.

“Normally, anyone above 120 percent of median income should be able to buy a house, and here they can’t,” Jerry Rioux of the SLO Housing Trust Fund told New Times. “Half of the employees in our county earn less than $30,000 a year.”

The median household income in SLO County is approximately $65,500 a year.

A household needs to bring in more than $110,000 a year to afford the median home price of around $552,000, according to a June 2016 housing policy report put together by the Home Builders Association of the Central Coast, the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce, and the Economic Vitality Corporation of San Luis Obispo.

One big hurdle to affordability, according to Rioux, is that housing prices have increased faster than wages.

The latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that wages actually declined by 2.5 percent in SLO County

from December 2015 to December 2016.

Median home prices increased by 4.7 percent in that same time period, according to Zillow. The website puts the median home value in the county at $579,000 for August 2017, a 6.8 percent increase yearover-year. It projects another 2.7 percent rise over the coming year.

The June 2016 report on housing policy issues outlined a number of policies that it thought would help the county create more affordable housing opportunities, which the county Board of Supervisors approved in October 2016.

But there isn’t a magic bullet that will fix the problem, according to county planning and building staff. On Sept. 26, they presented county supervisors with one of those proposed housing policy changes. The discussion revolved around fees: construction permit fees, public facility fees, agency referral fees, impact fees, affordable housing fees, all of which add up to an average of around $40,000 per residential unit.

Supervisors unanimously directed staff to come up with an ordinance that would enable builders to defer or get out of the payment of certain fees if the proposed housing is considered to be “affordable.”

But all five supervisors also said it

wouldn’t do enough to create housing.

“Is there something else that’s coming, that we’re missing, that’s actually going to create more affordable housing as opposed to making development more affordable for developers?” 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill said.

He again brought up a fund of money that could be dipped into as a way of subsidizing affordable housing. But the next housing policy discussion on the agenda, slated for sometime in October, will revolve around what areas of the county can be targeted for affordable development.

“We have to make it workable for the builders, that they can come in and look at the bottom line and feel like they can make at least a little bit of a profit to build these houses,” said 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold. “Let’s talk zoning; let’s talk density building; let’s talk [affordable] by design.”

Although board members didn’t necessarily come to consensus on what the “fix” to the housing issue would be, each said they agreed with their colleagues: SLO County has a lack of affordable housing for everything from extremely lowincome to workforce residents.

“The median household income can afford about $340,000. So the gap is about $200,000 between what the median household income can afford and the median housing price,” 2nd District

Supervisor Bruce Gibson said during the Sept. 26 meeting. “To my thinking if we don’t deed restrict it, we’re not going to get affordable housing.”

Deed restricting is exactly what People’s Self-Help Housing intends to do with a 40-unit development the nonprofit has proposed for Broad Street in the city of SLO, according to President/CEO John Fowler. He said the goal is to price them properly, between $300,000 and $400,000 (for those making between 80 percent and 120 percent of median income), and keep them priced properly. And the appreciation of those homes would be tied to wages, so if wages in the area go up by 2 percent, so would the value of those homes.

“If we let it go to the market, in five years, there’s no way you’re going to touch this house at 80 percent of median income,” Fowler said. “It’s got to be deed restricted.”

Fowler said he’s working with employers in the area that might potentially buy into the program as a way to help employees find affordable housing. The land on Broad Street is owned by the nonprofit, and the idea is for employers to help pay for the build-out. But for now, there are still a few legal issues to hash out, and Fowler said he’s working on getting the cost to employers down.

“It’s a challenge to get something affordable that ties into wages and is affordable to the employer,” Fowler said.

“But I thought, if anyone is going to do this, it has to be a nonprofit.” ∆ Reach Editor Camillia Lanham at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Get out to vote San Luis Obispo ‘not ready’ for new election model in 2018, county says

D

espite being on a short list of counties allowed to immediately implement a new state election model geared toward mail-in voting, San Luis Obispo County has decided it will stick with the status quo for the 2018 elections, citing technical and logistical challenges.

The Voter’s Choice Act, or Senate Bill (SB) 450, passed by the state Legislature last year, introduces a new election system—based on a model in Colorado— that replaces traditional Election Day precinct polls with a small number of “vote centers” open to the public as early as 10 days before Election Day and can serve as registration locations for unregistered voters.

Pitched as a way to improve voter accessibility and turnout, under the model every registered voter receives a ballot in the mail one month before the election, which they could turn in at their leisure— an option that more and more state voters are preferring anyway.

Fifty-eight percent of Californians voted by mail in the last election, up from 42 percent in 2006, and 20 percent in 1996. The early voting trend is even more prevalent in SLO County, where 70 percent of county voters submitted mailin ballots last year.

SLO County Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong said that was one of the reasons why he asked the state if SLO could be included among the 14 counties eligible to test the model for the 2018 elections.

“I was interested,” Gong told New Times. “We’re at a point where 70 percent of our people are voting by mail. It could certainly lend itself to the vote center model rather than preparing all the precinct sites.”

Gong’s office runs 137 precincts on Election Day across the county, manned by about 1,000 poll workers. The SB 450 election model would require operating only 17 to 20 vote centers, open to any citizen regardless of their city, town, or neighborhood.

But after eight months of analysis, Gong said he found that the technical infrastructure needed for the vote centers—like secure, uninterrupted connectivity to state and local voter registration databases—was substantially more robust than what the county currently rolls out at its precinct sites.

The county actually needs to replace basic election infrastructure, like its vote tabulation system, which is 18 years old.

“Last November all 139,685 ballots were fed by hand,” Gong said.

have the authority to select a different representative.

According to state law, the “presiding officer,” usually a mayor, of a municipality is designated as a member of a sanitation district, and is allowed to select an alternate who can serve in their place during their absence or due to an “inability or refusal” to serve.

As of Sept. 26, Arroyo Grande had not received any letter from the sanitation district related to removing Hill from that board.

A resolution to publicly censure Hill is expected to come to the board for a vote at a future sanitation district meeting.

—Chris McGuinness

“If you do not, you potentially create legal liability for yourselves and the district by not taking action,” Bennett said.

Both Hill and his attorney, Stewart Jenkins, pushed back on the investigation’s findings at the meeting.

Hill, who has long asserted that the investigation was politically motivated, defended his actions both as Arroyo Grande’s mayor and as a sanitation district board member.

“I have not done the misdeeds as are characterized here,” Hill said at the meeting.

In a short presentation in defense of his client, Jenkins also disputed the investigation’s findings, and questioned the quality and impartiality of LCW and its investigator.

“You were fooled into this investigation,” Jenkins said.

Austin indicated that Hill’s refusal to apologize concerned her and was in part an impetus to call for his censure and removal from the board.

“We’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars of ratepayer money to uncover the truth, and what I see here is still a refusal to accept responsibility,” she said.

“No remorse. No admission of wrongdoing on things that were proven by the independent outside investigator.”

The district decision comes on the heels of a 3-2 vote Sept. 12 by the Arroyo Grande City Council to ask Hill to voluntarily step down from his seat on the sanitation district. At that meeting, the city’s legal counsel noted that it would be difficult for the council to remove him from the board, saying that it did not

Fire chars nearly 100 acres above Cal Poly

Residents watched the pop of flames as a helicopter circled the neighborhood above Slack Street and Henderson Avenue near Cal Poly on Sept. 26 around 5 p.m.

A yellow bulldozer was building a fire line, moving dirt and dry grass above the last home on Slack Street. A retardant plane flew low behind the hill and the helicopter continued its arc, dropping water each time it passed through the smoke. SLO Police SUVs drove the streets as some residents hauled valuables to their cars.

The fire started around 3:30 p.m., igniting above the “P” on the hillside above Cal Poly. Cal Fire San Luis Obispo had issued an evacuation warning for the homes in this neighborhood “to get them prepared should the fire turn and we need to get them out,” Cal Fire Public Information

Other logistical challenges about SB 450 arose, like the viability of occupying up to 20 community centers in highdemand for multiple days.

Gong concluded that the county couldn’t implement the system with the June 2018 primaries just around the corner. He said it will be revisited in 2020, when all state counties will be allowed to use the model.

“It’s just too short a timeline to be able to implement it all,” he said. “We still had unanswered questions.”

10 days, would make elections more accessible and accommodating to people of “all walks of life.”

“I’m disappointed that we didn’t get to take advantage of it for this upcoming election,” Canfield said. “I think it is a more inclusive way for people to exercise their civil right to vote. It makes it less of a burden on pretty much everybody.”

Among the opponents of rolling out SB 450 in 2018 was Laura Mordaunt, secretary

‘It’s just too short a timeline to be able to implement [SB 450]. We still had unanswered questions.’

—Tommy Gong, SLO County Clerk-Recorder

More or less accessible?

As part of the decision-making process, Gong organized a focus group of diverse community stakeholders to discuss implementing SB 450 in 2018.

The group met four times over the summer and included representatives from the Democratic and Republican central committees; the League of Women Voters; Cal Poly; the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business (COLAB); the Latino Outreach Council; and others.

“They were pretty darn good meetings,” Gong said.

Proponents of SB 450, like Rosemary Canfield, chair of the SLO County Democratic Central Committee, believe that the vote centers, by being open for Officer Chris Elms told New Times.

Elms said that although Cal Fire hadn’t issued the same warning for Cal Poly, the university had voluntarily evacuated the two dorms (Yosemite and Sierra Madre) closest to the fire, “which was probably a good idea.”

By around 8 p.m. that night, the fire had burned approximately 97 acres and was roughly 20 percent contained.

The evacuation warning was lifted, and students and residents returned home.

According to Cal Poly spokesperson Matt Lazier, “Everything went smoothly.”

On Sept. 27, Elms said the fire was held at 97 acres and approximately 60 percent contained. He expected it to be fully contained by the evening of Sept.

28. Before press time, there were 10 fire engines, two water tenders, and four hand crews still on the fire.

“The main fire activity is pretty much down, we’re mostly dealing with hot spots,” Elms said.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Investigation into deadly CMC riot continues

Investigators are still searching for answers as to exactly what caused a large-scale riot that killed one inmate and injured several others at the California Men’s Colony (CMC) Sept. 24.

Lt. Monica Ayon, a CMC spokesperson, told New Times that the investigation into the riot, which involved more than 160 inmates, was ongoing, with hundreds of

for the Republican Party of SLO County and member of the SB 450 focus group.

In a Sept. 11 open letter to local and state representatives, Mordaunt warned that the new model could confuse and disenfranchise voters, citing a 2016 UC Davis survey where several voting groups, including minorities, expressed distrust about the system.

“SB 450 is a radical restructuring of California’s election process,” Mordaunt stated. “A substantial percentage of the public prefers precinct voting as a backup system. … I have grave concerns that 2018 implementation will result in substantial disenfranchisement of voters.” ∆ Contact Staff Writer Peter Johnson at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com. inmates being interviewed to determine what caused the incident.

The riot broke out just after 10 a.m. in the medium security custody yard at the state-run prison. CMC staff reportedly quelled the riot using less-than-lethal ammunition and chemical agents. No prison staff members were injured, but multiple inmates suffered stab wounds.

Nine inmates were transported to an outside hospital.

One of those nine inmates, 25-year-old Matthew Cook, died from the injuries he sustained during the riot. Cook was serving a 13-year prison sentence for multiple counts of first-degree burglary out of San Joaquin County, according to officials from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Ayon said investigators were trying to find out who killed Cook, and did not release the names of any suspects.

While officials continue to work to determine the cause of the riot and the identity of the person or persons responsible for Cook’s death and the other inmate injuries, the prison has been put on a “modified program” for an indeterminate period of time. The modified program is less strict than a full lockdown, but still restricts inmate movement within the facility.

The riot at CMC marks the second violent outbreak at a Central Coast penal facility in the last three months. In June, a violent fight at the Lompoc Federal Correctional Complex in Santa Barbara County left nine inmates and three staff members injured. ∆ —Chris McGuinness

“We are really lucky that we are here in California,” said Jeremy Goldberg, executive director for the Tri-Counties Central Labor Council, a union advocacy group that operates in Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties.

Workers, united SLO County’s unions look to organize and educate local workers

BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS

I

n November of 1934, the vegetable fields of South SLO County were teeming with tension.

More than 4,000 field workers, packinghouse workers, and other members of the Filipino Labor Union were on strike. It only took a few days for things to get ugly. It began with a walkout in Santa Barbara County that quickly spread north. Newspaper articles from the period reported that groups of the strikers were overturning trucks hauling lettuce, necessitating law enforcement escorts. A group of packinghouse workers participating in the strike reportedly set fire to sheds where their employers were storing the trucks and their contents.

The SLO County Sheriff’s Office told reporters that they were standing by and ready to respond to reports of violence. One Friday, deputies arrested the alleged leader of the strike, 43-year-old Constantine Valessie of Guadalupe, after he was caught trespassing and destroying crops on the Madruga Ranch in Oso Flaco. According to reports from the Daily Telegram, Valessie was arrested after he taunted the officers sent to quell the ruckus.

“I’m not afraid of your guns,” Valessie reportedly told them. “And I defy you to stop us.”

Valessie was jailed, but picking season remained at a standstill. That strike paralyzed the local farming industry for a week. The strikers’ demands? That their employers reverse a recent wage cut that dropped the pickers’ hourly pay from 30 cents an hour to 25.

More than eight decades later, on Sept. 4, 2017, a crowd of about 300 people gathered at Strother Park in Arroyo Grande, where the SLO County Democratic Party Central Committee was hosting a fundraiser picnic to celebrate Labor Day. The festive mood was far removed from the tension and violence of the vegetable strike. Photos posted to the committee’s Facebook page showed attendees laughing and smiling as they mulled around a grassy patch of the park, eating barbecue and listening to speeches from local labor leaders. In one photo, two women stand in front of a poster featuring the image of Rosie the Riveter.

They mimicked the World War II era icon’s defiant pose.

The picnic was a chance for the public to see, hear, and learn more about the current state of organized labor in SLO County. At a time when national union membership has declined by an estimated 7 million people since 1983 and more U.S. states eye controversial “right to work laws” that some claim hamstring unions, reminding the public about the contribution of organized labor is more important than ever according to Rosemary Canfield, the committee’s chair.

“They are out there fighting for laws at the county, state, and national level that protect workers,” Canfield told New Times.

Local labor

Organized labor is in Mark Simonin’s blood. Simonin, the business manager for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 639, has been a union member for 29 years. His father, he says, was also a member of the IBEW. His grandfather was a member of a carpenter’s union.

“There’s a lot of history there,” he said.

Like his father and grandfather, Simonin’s career and union membership began in Boston, Massachusetts, a stronghold of organized labor. He eventually moved to San Luis Obispo, were his commitment to his union remained strong. When he and his fellow members aren’t negotiating contracts with local construction contractors or running the union’s apprentice program to train the next generation of electrical workers, you might find them at local job sites, where they call out employers who aren’t following labor and safety laws.

This past spring, Simonin and a few other members showed up to a soon-tobe completed hotel in Pismo Beach with a giant banner letting crowds of nearby tourists enjoying the sun and sand know that the contactor for the project wasn’t using certified electricians. It wasn’t long after the bannering, he said, that they agreed to get those workers certified.

Such collective action highlights one of the core tenants of organized labor: The

collective power of workers functions as a counterweight to that of the employer.

“Without representation, you can still go to the [business] owner, and we’ve seen what happens,” Simonin said. “You’re the complainer. You’re the whiner. You’ll be the first guy that’s going to get cut. It shouldn’t be that way.”

Simonin isn’t the only worker to feel that way. Union membership in the SLO metro area averaged about 22,401 workers between 2012 and 2016, according to estimates from unionstats.com, a database of federal census data collected by Professor Barry Hirsh of Georgia State University and David MacPherson, a professor at Trinity University. That number represents about 25 percent of the local workforce, more than double the average of 11 percent nationally over the same five-year period, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The reason that membership in SLO County’s unions is stronger than membership at the national level may be partly due to the fact they are operating in California. Similar to states like New York, California’s labor laws have generally remained strong, helping bolster union membership statewide.

Over the last five years, roughly 2.4 million workers, about 16 percent of

Goldberg said the unions in SLO County run the gamut in terms of the industries they represent, from construction and trades to agriculture, health care workers, and teachers to government employees.

When it comes to the issue of public versus private sector union membership, Goldberg indicated that the tri-county region is generally in line with the nation—public sector union membership outpaces that of private industries.

According to Hirsh and MacPherson’s data, public sector employees like police, teachers, and government employees counted for an average of 63 percent of all union membership in the SLO metro area between 2012 and 2016. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, public sector employees had a union membership rate that was five times higher than the private sector employees nationally in 2016. Two of the industries with the highest rates of union membership were public safety employees like police officers and firefighters, and educators.

The connection between the working conditions of public sector employees and their impact on the community they serve may play a role in the relative strength and influence of public sector unions, including those for teachers and educators, said Donna Kandel, a 15-yeareducator and president of the Lucia Mar Unified Teachers Association.

“I think teacher’s unions have been successful because they don’t just advocate for workers, but they advocate for issues that impact kids,” Kandel said.

In addition to negotiating contracts for pay and benefits for the Lucia Mar Unified School District’s educators, Kandel’s union has also advocated for issues that impact the students they teach, such as opposing overreliance on standardized testing and protecting programs like free and reduced lunch for poor students. Through the union’s affiliation with the California Teachers Association and National Education Association, Kandel said the organization could also advocate for the issues and legislation on the state and national levels.

Union workers in the private sector, like nurse Sherri Stoddard, believe that kind of solidarity is a critical aspect of FILE PHOTO

ON THE MARCH When negotiations fail, local unions can threaten to call for a strike, like these members of the California Faculty Association at Cal Poly.

organized labor. Stoddard works at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center in SLO, and has been a member of the local unit of the California Nurses Association (CNA) since 1996, when she and the other nurses at the hospital first unionized.

In addition to collectively bargaining for benefits, working hours, and wages for nurses, Stoddard and the CNA have put their “people power” behind a number of local causes, including advocating against a proposed railroad extension at the Phillips 66 oil refinery in Nipomo.

Through its affiliation with the statewide CNA, the group also helped contribute to a years-long campaign to implement nurse-to-patient ratios in California, which was successfully passed in 2004.

The successful push for that legislation wouldn’t have been possible without the collective funding and manpower of the union behind it, according to Stoddard.

“We were able to do that because we did it as a union,” Stoddard told New Times.

But organizing a union, especially in the private sector, isn’t easy. Workers looking to start a union face a number of challenges, which sometimes include opposition, interference, and even outright intimidation from their employers.

Employees most vocal about organizing can risk possible retaliation or even termination should their effort fail.

“When you are starting to organize, there’s no protection, really, until you are a union member,” Stoddard said.

Charter union fizzles

While Stoddard and the other nurses were successfully able to beat the “union busting” tactics of their employer to form a union in 1996, another group of private sector employees who made a similar effort more than 18 years later were not.

In April of 2014, 48 technicians for the SLO branch of the cable and internet service provider giant Charter Communications successfully petitioned to form a union under the umbrella of IBEW Local 639. According to one Charter employee who was involved in the organizing effort, the technicians wanted to unionize to have more of a say in their working conditions.

“We’d have a voice at the job site,” the employee, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, told New Times. “Without a union, Charter could do whatever they wanted to us.”

But it wasn’t long after the successful vote that the small group of newly organized employees began to experience what they say was a targeted campaign to undermine and dismantle their union using illegal tactics.

Complaints filed against Charter with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) by the union’s members and documents from a federal court case allege that the some members of the company’s management began to interrogate the members about their activities, made anti-union statements, and tried to coerce employees into decertify the union, all while it was engaging in collective bargaining negotiations.

In signed affidavits to the NLRB, one technician said he was called into a manager’s office in early 2015, where he heard about plans to go after the newly formed union.

“I don’t know where you stand, but I really need your help. We really need to get rid of this thing,” the manager, Bill Vedrin, reportedly told the employee.

Another Charter technician wrote that Vedrin asked him what he would do to ensure the dismissal of the union during an interview for a supervisorial position in 2014. Later that same year, the technician alleged that Vedrin chided him for not preventing the union from

the damage was already done. “ … Almost two years after the election, the union has not accomplished anything in the eyes of the [Charter] employees, and is not able to protect employees when they are disciplined or terminated,” Simonin wrote.

“Some of the employees even blame the union for everything that has happened and are angry at the union.”

By April and May of 2016, attendance at the Charter technicians’ PHOTO BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS union meetings had winning its certification vote. dwindled to between four and six people.

A decertification petition signed by 27 of the Charter union members was included in the case’s documentation as proof of Bakare’s claims.

“Charter believes it must live up to its obligation to honor the employees’ voluntary exercises of their legal right to decline union representation,” Bakare wrote.

The IBEW filed multiple complaints with the NLRB. Charter denied the allegations that it acted illegally or engaged in unfair labor practices, but documents from the NLRB show that the company and union reached a settlement in November 2016 in which Charter agreed to cease and desist from engaging in much of the behavior the union had accused it of, and re-recognized the IBEW as a collective bargaining unit for the union’s members.

But according to written testimony from IBEW’s Simonin, who helped STRIKE Members of the SLO chapter of organize the Charter technicians and was the California Nurses Association went on a member of their bargaining committee, strike in 1999 and 2002.

in favor of such laws claim that they offer more freedom and opportunity for workers, organized labor has decried them, stating that they weaken unions, strip workers of their rights, and tip the balance further in favor of large companies that might exploit them.

Those fears are even more present after the 2016 election, which cemented Republican control of both the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government. Many union members like the CNA’s Stoddard feared the passage of a national right-to-work law.

“If this thing passes … think of all the gains we’ve made,” Stoddard said. “If they are able to take those away, where are we going to be?”

While President Donald Trump himself campaigned as a populist friend of the working class, Tri-Counties Central Labor Council Executive Director Goldberg said that organized labor has little hope he will push for laws or regulations that will help their cause.

“The reality is that there is a long history of this president and his treatment of his workers, contractors that he hired to work on his buildings, but never paid them. There isn’t a lot of hope that worker safety and worker protection, or protecting the middle class, are priorities for this administration,” Goldberg said.

Still, the contentious presidential election also sparked an increased interest in activism and political organizing, which some unions are seeing as a chance to renew the public’s interest in organized labor.

“One of the statements we always make is that sometimes a bad boss can be our best friend,” Stoddard said. “Because then you’re motivated to get together and do something about it.”

Currently, unions across the country have put their people, funds, and organizational might behind a number of issues they feel will benefit union and non-union American workers.

“We need to help people understand that unions aren’t some special interest group out there just for ourselves,” Goldberg said. “Low wage workers, middle class workers; [they] would all benefit from the policies we advocate for.”

For many of the union members that spoke with New Times, advocating for issues like health care, fair wages, and others represents a chance for organized labor to remind Americans about the gains made in the past, when unions fought and successfully advocated for the 40-hour work week, minimum wage, workplace safety regulations, and ending child labor.

“We are working really hard to educate our members and the public about the benefits of our unions,” educator and Lucia Mar Unified Teachers Association President Kandel said. “Sometimes people take for granted what they have because of unions, and we need to make sure people are more conscious about what unions have done for them.”

That burden of that effort will likely fall squarely on the shoulders unions members themselves. In the end, the power and strength of organized labor, in SLO County and beyond, rests in the hands of those most willing to take action and be vocal and visible.

“It’s like joining a gym,” Kandel said.

“You don’t get fit just by signing up.” ∆ Staff Writer Chris McGuinness can be reached at cmcguinness@newtimesslo.com, or on Twitter at @CWMcGuinness.

alking into the Paso Robles Casino Bar and Lounge you’re greeted by dimmed lights, blackjack tables, and a full service bar.

You might also run into owners and brothers Don and Rob Ezzell.

The duo is working to change the nightlife scene in Paso Robles by not only offering Vegas-style games but also an inviting environment where locals can enjoy a drink and a meal past normal business hours.

“Before, nobody had a reason to come to our establishment but to gamble,” Rob said.

Rob said that locals and visitors alike don’t necessarily need to be interested in gambling to drop by. Don said that the usual clientele of casinos are locals or retirees, but they’re trying to reach a broader demographic—adults ranging from 21 to 60 years old.

“All of our customer materials are about having fun, the camaraderie, hanging out with people you enjoy, and about meeting new people,” Don said.

Bar manager Tony Bennett said that most of the nightlife in the city ends around 10:30 p.m., because that’s when the restaurants and bars close down for the night. But Bennett said the Ezzell brothers are changing the game by staying open until 2 a.m.

Bennett said mixing the card game environment and drinking scene is something that isn’t really done on the Central Coast.

“Vegas is so convoluted because there are no personal relationships, you know, getting a drink from a bartender that you’ve never seen before, in a city that you maybe go to once a year,” he said.

When you visit the Paso casino you see the familiar faces of Bennett and his team of bartenders, ready to serve craft cocktails.

“You could walk up to Tony and say, ‘I had such drink while I was on vacation last year. Can you make that?’ And the answer will always be yes,” Don said.

Bennett said it’s something that a lot of bartenders forget about these days and most just stick to their menu. But at the Casino, Bennett and his team are ready to serve up your preferred drink.

“It’s fun to watch Tony and his gang.

They light drinks on fire sometimes and

it’s really entertaining but it’s also a very good cocktail,” Don said.

Opening this kind of establishment has been a journey for the Ezzell brothers.

Rob has always had an interest in the game, and Don has always liked to try his hand at different business ventures.

They said this is by far the best business venture they’ve worked on together— creating the ultimate clubhouse.

Don said that Paso Robles has had a cardroom for about 76 years. The duo began operating the cardroom that was previously next to the casino in 2011. But they weren’t happy with the customer experience or the facility. It was time for a change, and although the building is still under construction, the casino is slated to hold its grand opening Oct. 6 and 7. By then, their new patio will be up and running for customers to lounge on and enjoy a drink. Don said that they are also working to host live entertainment, just another reason to keep your eyes on the establishment. To learn more about casino visit pasoroblescasino.com.

Commentary

BY DAVID DEICK

Get real Californians can steer the world into not being dependent on fossil fuel

T

ime to move beyond climate change denial; deniers can deny it to their grave. We need to solve the problem. First question to ask: What is the problem? The answer should be obvious to everyone: Burning fossil fuel! It’s hard to deny that truth when you grew up with smokestacks spewing smoke and soot, fowling the air causing aching lungs and burning eyes. The Clean Air Act changed that back in the ’80s—but the CO2 kept coming.

Clean coal, dirty coal, natural gas— they all produce carbon dioxide when they are burned. It is the byproduct of combustion, which uses oxygen to consume carbon, producing heat and CO2, something cavemen discovered 100,000 years ago. There is enough fossil fuel in the ground today, that, if it were used for fuel, it would consume all the existing oxygen on the planet.

Trees don’t produce enough new oxygen to overtake our capacity to burn oil, and we are still cutting them down at an alarming rate.

The world now burns oil at a rate of 95 million barrels a day, which is the equliviant of using an Olympic size swimming pool every 15 seconds. Coal demand is going down, but the world still consumes about 25 million tons a day.

So, we know the problem is fossil fuel; the solution is obvious as well: Stop using fossil fuel. That’s the tricky part,

HODIN

since the fossil fuel industry runs the world economy.

We need a visionary leader—perhaps the next governor of California—who could decree, on entering office, a Kennedy type visionary statement based on hope and need that the state would be fossil fuel free in five years.

Kennedy didn’t know how to get to the moon but he knew we could do it if we made it a top priority. Eliminating fossil fuel (with only a few exceptions) would be such a vision. All forms of energy

fuel, then we need a WWII type effort to mobilize the state, building the infrastructure to support our new allelectric lifestyle.

I am not the guy to say how we will do it, but I know it can be done. It all comes down to money. Good old Yankee ingenuity will make it work because the time is now and the need is here. Do we really have to use every drop of oil on the planet, or, can we, as informed, open-minded human beings, look for a better way? Even if scientists are completely wrong and climate change is a hoax, not using every drop of a finite resource like oil, still makes sense; it will save some supply for some other discovery that will require oil.

Now that the Arctic Ocean is not permanetly frozen, the sea floor is readily available for oil and gas

Do we really have to use every drop of oil on the planet, or, can we, as informed, open-minded human beings, look for a better way? production and transportation will have to be fossil fuel free in five years.

We have to do it: Like pulling off the world’s biggest Band-Aid. The faster you pull it the better. What will that mean for Mister and Missus California citizen: No more gas-powered cars. Bad as that sounds, it will happen sooner or later, autonomous cars will see to that.

It is possible, but we need a massive scientific effort like the Manhattan Project to replace our reliance on fossil

exploration. It is the new frontier. The amount of fossil fuel predicted to be under that floor will guarantee our planet’s permanent climate change.

Why can’t we say no; when will we say no? It has to start somewhere. India has said no more gas-powered cars by 2030.

That is a start; automakers see the writing on the wall and are gearing up to go all electric.

The fossil fuel industry has actively worked against discoveries to replace fossil fuel and have spent millions on

propaganda against climate change.

They intimidate inventors and threaten duress if discoveries are published.

Have we entered a new Dark Ages where science threatens the powerful?

Are there no inventors left to stand up to the power elite as Columbus and Galileo did against the powerful church? We have to stand up to the powers that be and say, “No more!”

California can change the world when we realize the old saying, “You need to spend money to make money,” is true. We have to say no to the fossil fuel industry. Let our scientists invent us into the 21st century. More efficient solar, cheaper safer nuclear, some new idea still on the workbench in an entrepreneur’s garage, the idea is out there. If we get fossil fuel out of the way we can create a new non-fossil fuel economy with cheaper cleaner energy providing the planet’s energy needs that will never be met by fossil fuel.

And California will be the pioneer reaping the profit like we have benefited from Silicon Valley’s planet changing technology. ∆ David Deick is hoping against hope for a new economy in Atascadero. Send comments through the editor at clanham@ newtimesslo.com.

Patriotism and freedom

In 1798 President John Adams signed into law various Alien and Sedition Acts.

Alien laws were created to make it harder to become a naturalized citizen.

LETTERS from page 13

To control the vote, the Federalists sought to control those who were viewed as enemies: the aliens.

The Sedition Act was to charge anyone who said, or printed, false news about the government with treason.

Adams’ administration had a lot of critics so he enacted a law to imprison them.

Both the Alien Act and the Sedition Act were enacted in the name of nationalism.

Ironically, these acts led to Adams’ defeat and the end of the Federalist Party, to Thomas Jefferson and his Democratic-Republican Party in 1800.

History does repeat itself. We cannot view Trump’s creating a patriotic storm over athletes choosing to express their freedom as a one-time effort to enforce loyalty to our country.

Will there be other ways we will be defined if we are patriots or not? Will we become a society of “they,” not “we.”

Fly the flag or you’re not a true patriot?

Calling kneeling players “sons of bitches” in an Alabama speech is a red flag of what could lead to legislation to curb fundamental rights guaranteed in our Constitution. All in the name of patriotism.

Don’t think it can’t happen here; it already did. In 1798.

50% We need more unions to help protect workers and rebuild the middle class.

18% Unions were helpful in the past, but they’re outdated and don’t have power or a place in today’s society.

21) for illustrating that there are many reasons why “socially liberal Democrats” don’t want to hear any other speech but speech that agrees with them.

By supporting and condoning the violence and property destruction and suppression of free speech at the hands of “Antifa” she is in fact supporting fascism. In her “opinion” she quoted Patrick McGrath—“Fascism does not arise from rational argument to sustain its followers. Fascists are deaf to reason. They sneer at reasonable argument. This is why the Antifa use violence against them. They see it as the only means, as a last resort.” It’s the perfect description of “Antifa.”

Laurie Newman teacher “I’ve been living here for a really long time so I’ve seen buildings change and upgrade.

But the one that comes to mind is the Bank of America building, it’s so outdated.”

Irene Wininger hospice nurse “I can’t think of one in SLO but in Pismo Beach, the building across from Harry’s makes me sad every time I drive by it. It takes away from the old town feel.”

Laura ChristensenGarcia restaurant worker “I’ve lived here my whole life and the buildings keep changing. It’s hard to keep track. But it’s not the buildings that bother me but the shops and restaurants that go inside them.”

Limit the number of visitors to the dunes Residents of the Oceano beach community and Nipomo Mesa are suffering from traffic congestion and bad air quality because of Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area. State parks has the obligation to minimize these harmful impacts on the neighboring communities and the natural habitat of the park itself. A lot can be accomplished in that direction by simply reducing the number of visitors and denying big special events.

Reduced intensity of use is practiced in other parks all over the country to protect them and the surrounding areas. Why can’t it be applied at the ODSVRA? Lucia Casalinuovo Oceano

PG&E needs to pack nuclear waste in thicker containers The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has a great opportunity in its oversight of Diablo Canyon’s closure. PG&E is plagued by the reality of having to store 2,000 tons of highly radioactive nuclear waste on an earthquake fault-ridden coastline into the foreseeable future. Currently, the waste in the dry cask storage is sealed in half-inch thick stainless steel canisters inside concrete overpacking affixed to huge concrete slabs, easily visible from the air and from the sea.

The CPUC can give PG&E its marching orders: Pack the waste in the type of robust containers that are used in Europe and Japan, and create a model for hardened on-site storage, better known as HOSS. In HOSS, dry casks are bermed and shielded from visual detection. They are distributed out over a large area so that they are not as vulnerable to terrorism or acts of malice. They are safer.

At Fukushima, the only part of the nuclear plants that were not destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami were the dry canisters. They were made of 9-inch thick steel. The CPUC can order PG&E to find a vendor to supply similar canisters for the waste at Diablo Canyon. They can also order PG&E to build the country’s first HOSS site for waste storage. If PG&E complies with those orders, then they can recoup the costs from the ratepayers. If not, they

must bear the cost alone.

The CPUC can protect the population in a responsible, thoughtful way. There is no solution to the highly radioactive spent fuel problem—nowhere for it to go—so it’s much more logical to plan for its relatively safe storage on-site.

Don’t have sympathy for the homeless Well apparently Steve Omar, who “used to edit newspapers in Hawaii,” doesn’t like the off-road vehicle enthusiasts who come to Oceano Dunes for their recreational activities. What with their “noise choking exhaust and bad air,” they’re obviously having too much fun (“Great idea,” Sept. 14). But allowing the homeless to erect tents and live out of sight in the dunes? Having counselors teach responsible living?

They are adults. If they have made it this far in life without learning, or at least living responsibly, they aren’t going to start doing it now. And catch fish and grow crops to sell? For one thing, crops don’t grow in the sand; I guess we could give them some farmland also for their crops. Another issue would be: They aren’t willing to work to sustain themselves right now. What makes you think they would be willing to do it to grow food? That is too much like work.

A majority of the homeless weren’t forced into unemployment or by California’s minimum wage jobs, they chose alcohol or drugs over going to work. You can’t blame the jobs; 11 million illegal aliens are making it here.

And who is going to police this homeless camp? What about any homeowners adjacent to this camp?

Do you think they would want this, to cut their property values by half? How about the increase in crime, because, you know, they’re homeless and they steal stuff. What about the closest businesses?

How would they like it when all these guys start to hang out in front of the stores and mooch money or cigarettes or both, since they tend to do that also?

Steve made a comment about how the Japanese internees were treated better than the homeless. What was that supposed to mean? The Japanese were landowners, business owners, and hard workers. The homeless do nothing but take, why the comparison?

Steve’s plan shows nothing but sympathy for people who have generally put themselves exactly where they are, and I suspect he is one of them. It is also completely unworkable, and completely unacceptable.

First Amendment under fire

K

athy Reidmann’s last column surprised me: I never thought to see the day when a liberal demanded censorship of ideas (“I stand by my opinion,” Sept. 21). Reidmann continues in error wanting to prohibit obnoxious people with hateful messages from publicly assembling and promulgating their venom in public forums. I recall one of the most recent examples of such pond scum: The Westboro Baptist Church.

Westboro Baptist is a small group of about 40 or so members, wrapping themselves in the mantle of Christianity to spew anti-homosexual messages while attending military funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. They proclaimed (in vulgar terms) the death of American soldiers was God’s judgement on America. Their language was deliberately provocative as was their demeanor toward grief-stricken families laying a loved one to rest.

Westboro was neither Christian (there is special condemnation in the Bible for those who espouse bigotry or hatred in the name of God) nor peaceful; they were deliberately provocative, hoping to incite violence against their members. Several members of Westboro are attorneys and they were quick to file lawsuits against anyone impeding their hateful rants or assaulting them.

Westboro was resolutely defended by civil libertarians as having an absolute right to hurl insults to disrupt military funerals even if it was likely to provoke a violent response. Those soldiers died defending your rights, however much Westboro abused them.

Back in the 1980s, radical artists had a field day at nationally renowned art museums by depicting Christian religious images in the most disrespectful manner possible, such as placing a crucifix in urine, feces on “sacred images,” and provocative displays of patriotic images, such as the American Flag used as a floor mat in front of a toilet. There will always be speech that is objectionable to someone, even the muted speech of “mainstream conservatives” who forego profanity, personal insults, and otherwise blasphemous references. Lately, it seems that to the modern progressiveliberal, disagreement of any kind with their point of view is proof that you must be a racist Nazi or just plain stupid. Regardless, your point of view is dismissed out-of-hand, and progressives demand the public forum be closed to your opinions. As evidence one need only look to the University of California at Berkeley and the recent speech of mainstream conservative (and Jewish) Ben Shapiro two weeks ago.

The hard left, bolstered by blackclad and masked Antifa, used every effort to prevent Shapiro from speaking with the full collusion of the university administration. Shapiro’s audience was able to hear him but not all who bought tickets; the university arbitrarily shut

down half the venue and denied half his ticketed audience admittance to the auditorium.

Outside, Antifa shouted “No Trump, No Wall, No USA at All!” Antifa, composed mostly of anarchists, Marxists, and criminal thugs, according to journalists covering this vigilante group from within, also state that “liberals get a bullet, too.” Even Democrat minority leader Nancy Pelosi has seen fit to condemn Antifa as criminals. By the way, there is a video out there of Antifa (whom Riedmann obliquely referred to in her Sept. 28 editorial as “just common, decent human beings”) taunting a disabled veteran in a wheelchair, taking his water bottle, and dumping it on him.

They also seized an American flag from a middle-aged woman, knocked her down, and attacked journalists covering the event made up of peaceful, ordinary citizens conducting a patriotic rally. It was their actions at this event that drew Congresswoman Pelosi’s condemnation.

After Shapiro’s speech, a Berkeley medical anthropologist wrote an editorial saying the First Amendment protection for free speech and assembly is outdated and harmful, and she demanded that the Constitution be amended to prohibit views that she disapproved of.

The assault against First Amendment protection for the free exercise of religion, speech, the press, and the right to peacefully assemble continues to accelerate. The “left” demands not just tolerance but celebration of their agenda and message. You will be made to publicly care and agree or you will lose your career, your freedom, even your life.

Openly conservative celebrities routinely receive credible death threats from the left; ask recording artists Joy Villa or Kaya Jones what happened to them after openly supporting Trump. History is replete with examples of tyranny from the right and left, but both hold in common the silencing of opponents as their first order of business.

Meanwhile, censorship is accelerating within the entertainment industry and the internet. Google and Facebook go beyond deletion of illegal postings of child pornography or direct threats of violence; they now routinely delete postings from mainstream conservative thought and shut down revenue streams of mainstream conservative websites. So who elected Silicon Valley to be the gatekeepers of American political discourse? Freedom is fragile and rare throughout history.

Once you lose it, do not assume that it will be easily regained. ∆

The Shredder

Hero or hellion?

R emember two weeks ago when I told you the Arroyo Grande City Council asked Mayor Jim Hill to step down from the South SLO County Sanitation District board because of improprieties regarding his behavior? (“Trash talk,” Sept. 14) Yeah, well now the board itself is asking him to bounce. Yikes! Clearly Jim does not play well with others!

Hill was found to have improperly shared confidential information and overstepped his authority—you know, acting like the boss of people he’s not the boss of. He says this whole kerfuffle is a politically motivated attack by opponents who don’t like that he’s rooting out bad actors and protecting his constituents’ interests. His opponents say he’s a bully and a rule breaker and a toolbag.

Grover Beach Mayor John Shoals, who’s also on the board, says it’s not about Hill’s motivations; it’s about his role and responsibilities. A board needs to govern collectively, amirite?

Is this a tough call? On one hand, voters want to know their elected officials are willing to go to great lengths to be fiscally responsible and do what’s right for the people. On the other, voters don’t like rogue pols running roughshod and kicking up unnecessary brouhahas.

The bottom line is that Hill has done nothing to make the board he serves on more functional. In fact, his fellow board

members are so tired of his shenanigans that they voted to no longer share confidential emails with him. How does that help your constituents, Jim? If you really want to represent your citizens, you should apologize for your bad behavior, follow the rules, and work to create board harmony instead of increased acrimony.

Just a suggestion! I mean, you do want to be an effective leader and not just a showboat and buffoon, right?

Sure, maybe your swaggering pushiness was able to get one administrator you didn’t like fired, but your bad behavior has now rendered you impotent! Your fellow board members don’t want to work with you, your lawyer Stew Jenkins made you look pathetic by playing the victim card, and the dysfunctional sanitation district you decided you alone could “fix” is more dysfunctional than ever. Clap, clap, clap.

Get it together, Jimbo.

Hey, I get that following the rules is hard. Just ask construction firm Stalwork Inc., which is in hot water with the city of San Luis Obispo again. Back in March, Stalwork decided it was better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission when they removed a tree without a permit. After hemming and hawing, the SLO City Council eventually fined Stalwork and the property owner in question.

Now the city is after Stalwork for

painting a newly constructed building the wrong color.

The building on the corner of Marsh and Santa Rosa is a dark gray (with a nice light wood accent) instead of the lighter two-tone colors that were approved.

Hey, personally I think the color looks good, but it’s not what was approved.

There’s a fair process that was followed.

Stalwork agreed to a color scheme. Then they did what the hell they wanted instead of what was approved, and now they’re begging for a “modification.”

Hey Stalwork, that’s not how business is done! You don’t go through an approval process and then ignore it and expect the Architectural Review Commission to go, “Oh, you didn’t do what we approved.

Instead you did what you want. OK, carry on.”

If you don’t have to follow the rules, why should anyone? How is your behavior fair to others who adhere to the city’s process?

Yes, it may be ridiculous that a paint color has put a bug up the butts of people on both sides of the controversy, but we wouldn’t be in this hullabaloo if you’d simply done what you agreed to.

It’s so infuriating I just want to take the morning off and go hit the links. I hear Dairy Creek Golf Course is nice

… not! Eugene Ely of San Jose recently emailed me to tell me about his vacation here, which included a round of golf at Dairy Creek, located near the California Men’s Colony (CMC), across from Cuesta College, off Highway 1.

“The SLO [County] Board of Supervisors should be ashamed to be charging people money to play golf at Dairy Creek Golf Course,” Ely wrote.

“It borders on the criminal. The ‘course’ consists of 18 putting greens scattered throughout a barren, baked-out former dairy farm property.”

I blame Propositions 47, the voterapproved laws that have reduced California’s prison overpopulation problems. Dairy Creek has been watering its course with gray water from the CMC, but since its population has been cut from 6,000 inmates to almost 4,000, the water’s run dry.

Ely went on to call Dairy Creek a “failed enterprise,” but what really chaps his hide is that the county continues “to advertise this property as a highly desirable place to play golf.”

The website, dairycreek.com, indeed depicts a lush green course with rolling hills under blue skies. Seeing as how they charge $50 for an 18-hole round on the weekend, Ely’s got a point. Maybe it’s time to make it a free disc golf course.

Or we could throw a bunch of people in prison again because ... golf! ∆ The Shredder always follows the rules (ha ha ha!). Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Thank You SLO for 25 Years!

CELEBRATE WITH US ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5TH

Buona Tavola Ristoranti Celebrates 25 Years! Special Dinner Menu and Donation to Child Development Resource Center of the Central Coast on Thursday, October 5th at the SLO location next to the Fremont Theater.

S

an Luis Obispo’s Buona Tavola Restaurant celebrates and thanks their patrons for 25 years of serving fine Northern Italian cuisine with a special dinner menu, spreading love and a donation to a local children’s non-profit organization.

When Antonio Varia opened his first restaurant in San Luis Obispo on October 5, 1992, he was the chef in the kitchen and his wife, Kasie, was the hostess. Risotto, a creamy rice dish, was still mostly unknown to many of the diners.

“People looked at the plate and said, ‘What is this? Just rice?

Where’s the meat?’” Varia said.

Today, after 25 years in the highly competitive restaurant business, Varia wants to thank everyone who has eaten at his restaurants over the decades. In honor of the 25th anniversary, Varia will have a special dinner menu at the San Luis Obispo location, and 25% of the night’s total will be given to the Child Development Resource Center of the Central Coast. Varia chose the non-profit because of his belief in strong families and a commitment to local organizations.

“I have a soft heart for children and want to support an organization that supports them and their families,” Varia said.

“I’ve decided to donate 25% of our sales for the night in honor of our 25th Anniversary.”

On Thursday, October 5, the San Luis Obispo location next to the Fremont Theater on Monterey Street, will feature a special menu made up of diners’ favorites from the last 25 years.

Dinner reservations on October 5th are strongly encouraged through the website www. btslo.com or by calling 805-545-8000.

“I want to send a big thank you to the community for believing in us and for their love of good food,” he said.

Today, the original Buona Tavola restaurant in San Luis Obispo has been joined by a second location in Paso Robles, and Alle-Pia Fine Cured Meats, Varia’s successful artisan salami and sausage business in Atascadero.

“Pedro Flores, my Chef de Cuisine, has been with me for 24 years.

My Sous Chef, Rigoberto Flores has been with me for 19 years. My manager, Andrea Fabbretti, is from a small town in Italy just a few miles from my hometown. His brother, Paolo, came to join us a few years ago,” Varia said. “I also want to thank my excellent staff for helping to make us successful for all these years.”

Varia’s donation goes to the Child Development Resource Center of the Central Coast (CDRC)a nonprofit community organization that provides therapeutic early childhood education and mental health programs focused on protecting children through a commitment to heal, support and strengthen families within San Luis Obispo County for the prevention and treatment of child abuse in all of its forms. For more information, please visit their website at www.childrensresource.org.

To dine with us on October 5th, we strongly advise reservations through our website or by phone.

www.btslo.com 805-545-8000

The Buona Tavola name means “good table” in Italian. Varia’s passion for food and the love poured into every dish comes through with each bite.

Left Field closes downtown SLO retail location, keeps gallery space

A

ppointment only, the glass door of Left Field gallery on Monterey Street in San Luis Obispo said.

The limited hours alone are eyebrow raising, but what’s more is that Left Field, which until recently also boasted a large retail space, is now down to a less than 400-squarefoot room filled with regularly changing exhibits.

Nick Wilkinson, the gallery owner, made the decision to close his shop after about two years of business when the lease ended in May, but he convinced his landlord to let him keep the small, adjacent gallery space open to showcase art monthly during Art After Dark and by appointment.

“Monetarily it works; it’s not a huge commitment,” Wilkinson said of the gallery.

“It’s a collaboration between us and the artists.”

When things really started to boom for one of Wilkinson’s other businesses, his landscape company Botanica Nova, he made the tough decision to close the retail aspect of Left Field, but realized he could still make the gallery work. But how do you sell art when your space is only open to the public a few hours a month?

While Wilkinson wants to keep showing art in SLO, most of the money Left Field gallery has made over the years hasn’t come from locals. His focus has always been on showing the work of out-of-town artists, most of whom come with a plethora of Instagram followers, so

Art by appointment

Catch the work of Atascadero native sculptor John Zane Zappas during Art After Dark on Oct. 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. (or by appointment through Oct. 29) at Left Field Gallery in SLO. The artist will also unveil a temporary sand sculpture at Montaña de Oro on Oct. 7 in the morning. More details coming at leftfieldgallery.com.

SMALL SPACE, BIG ART After closing the Left Field retail shop in May, owner Nick Wilkinson decided to keep the small gallery next door going.

Wilkinson and the artists work together to get pieces sold online and ship that art across the country, even around the globe. Pieces by artist Cody Hudson, who showed at the gallery in August, sold to buyers in the Midwest, France, and just one art patron in SLO, thanks in part to his 23,000-plus Instagram followers.

“Those online tools have evolved in such a way that basically that’s what carries this thing,” Wilkinson said. “The more I’ve done this, the more I’m conscious of whose work I can sell and whose work I can’t.”

Since the retail space closed, Wilkinson said Art After Dark (now the gallery’s main open hours) attendance has dipped a bit, going from 200 people to 100, but he also attributes that to the summer season, which is notoriously mellow in SLO with the lack of Cal Poly students.

“It’s been a lot less,” Wilkinson said. “I was really surprised.

I’m not sure what more I need to do to get people excited about art, but I’m open to suggestions.”

While Wilkinson said he wishes he had the time to have the gallery open more hours, a handful of people have called him up FAR FROM SLO Brooklyn-based artist Ricardo Gonzalez’s piece, Step it up and Go, is hanging at Left Field through Oct. 1 as part of the group show Eyes, Nose, Lips, Etc.

LIMITED VIEWINGS Left Field is now open the first Friday of the month during Art After Dark from 6 to 9 p.m. or, as the sign says, by appointment.

to schedule viewings outside of Art After Dark, and since the doors and walls facing the street are glass, passersby can still glimpse a good amount of art from the outside.

In the meantime, while this tiny art gallery experiment shakes out, Wilkinson plans to keep on doing what he loves: booking great artists to share their work in SLO. Artists on tap include Atascadero local and sculptor John Zane Zappas, who now lives in Los Angeles.

His work will show starting in early October and will include a temporary sand sculpture at Montaña de Oro. In April, expect to see another LA artist, painter Allison Miller, show her work. Miller’s contemporary paintings have been featured at prestigious exhibits like Made in LA at the Hammer Museum in 2012.

“We’ll see how it evolves,” Wilkinson said. “I didn’t even think there would be this when I first opened up the shop, and now, that’s gone and this is what survives. My biggest hope is that people in the community that want to see something different would take the time to come when we’re open and support it in a way, whatever that means to them.” ∆ Pencil in more time for art at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

Bill Freakin’ Murray!

PHOTO COURTESY OF PETER RIGAUD

Bill joins cellist Jan Vogler and friends for an evening of American song and literature “

D

o you want to interview Bill Murray?” my editor asked.

“Well, duh!”

“You also have to interview Jan Vogler, the cellist.”

“That’s cool. Bill Murray! Woo hoo!”

Then came the arrangements and figuring out of availability. Then the terrible message: “Turns out Bill and Jan won’t be together until 10/5, so the duo interview is not available, nor is Bill Murray for a solo chat.”

Wahhhhh! I knew it was too good to be true, but I went for the Jan Vogler interview anyway, because he’s appearing with Murray at the Performing Arts Center next Sunday, Oct. 8 (7 p.m.; all ages; $60 to $175 at 756-4849 or calpolyarts.org), as part of Bill Murray with Jan Vogler and Friends, an evening “showcasing core American values in literature and music.”

Murray is the comic genius behind classic films such as Meatballs, Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Scrooged, Groundhog Day, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, a guy who proved he has serious acting chops in films such as The Razor’s Edge, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Lost in Translation, Broken Flowers, Hyde Park on Hudson, The Monuments Men, and St. Vincent. He’s demonstrated his singing prowess in his 2015 Christmas special A Very Murray Christmas and as the voice of Baloo in last year’s The Jungle Book.

The man is an unmitigated legend, a guy who famously doesn’t have an agent, a jokester who will pop up unexpectedly and steal people’s french fries, looking them square in the eye and saying, “No one will ever believe you.”

That’s one of the reasons his fanbase is obsessively nuts about Murray.

“If there’s a situation, real life, that’s not being photographed or documented, it’s great,” Bill said in an interview about his offstage antics. “I really like to jump in and be a child or an adolescent or really any age. There’s nothing better than stealing someone’s piping hot french fry.

I mean, that’s living. They’re free and

they’re right there! They’re just bonus potatoes.”

When I was informed Murray wouldn’t be available but that I could quote from him in earlier interviews provided, I figured why not? I called Jan (pronounced Yon) Vogler in New York, and when who I presume was his classic violinist wife Mira Wang answered the phone, I could hear him practicing in the background.

Jan isn’t as mainstream famous as Bill, but in the world of classical music, he’s a giant. The German-born musician won the principal cello position of the Staatskapelle Dresden at age 20, making him the youngest concertmaster in the history of the orchestra. He’s played with every major orchestra you can think of, from the New York Philharmonic to the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.

“So basically we met on an encounter in an airplane flying from Berlin to New York,” Jan explained. “Bill was coming back from doing The Monuments Men. “I saw this character carrying this sort of oversized suitcase, and I said, ‘Are you going to be able to fit that thing into the overhead compartment?’ And he looked at me like I was brain dead and said, ‘It has its own seat,’” Murray recalled. “‘And not only does it have its own seat, it has the window seat. It’s a Stradivarius cello.’”

“We became friends,” Vogler said, “and he visited me at a concert, and I joined him at a movie premiere, and then he invited me to The Poetry Walk, where people walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge and listen to poetry about New York City. It was fantastic, and we started talking about a collaboration.”

Vogler, who grew up in East Berlin, benefitted from his father’s extensive collection of American literature, translated into German, of course. He read the complete Hemingway, Whitman, Twain, and more, and the pair conceived the idea of an evening of music and literature.

The program includes some classic material such as Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Prelude” from “Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007,” intermixed

with Murray reading selections from Walt Whitman’s “Song of the Open Road” and “Song of Myself,” Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, and Ernest Hemingway’s “With Pascin at the Dome” from A Moveable Feast.

Murray also sings songs like Stephen Foster’s “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair,” George Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess, and a Leonard Bernstein West Side Story medley with “Somewhere,” “I Feel Pretty,” and “America.”

I’ve seen a bit of it online, and it’s charming and poignant and a wonder to behold. Murray clearly has a lot of fun with it.

“People in the hotel room next door know that I can sing because I take long showers, long committed showers,” Murray joked. “I think people are surprised I have a voice left because usually when you become powerful and

muscular and mature like this your voice is already tired out, but I haven’t done much with it because I get a lot of rest.”

“It is an incredibly joyous program,” Vogler said. “I do my regular classic work with great pleasure as I’m sure Bill does his movies with great pleasure, but this is different for both of us. There’s no sense of competition, and it was born out of our shared interest in American music and literature. It’s really great fun, and it inspires us all.”

“He’s really great. He’s a fantastic cellist,” Murray gushed. “His wife Mira Wang is an extraordinary violinist, and our friend Vanessa Perez is a, you know, big deal piano player. It’s such a powerhouse trio that being the singer-speaker guy is a piece of cake. I’m waterskiing behind these people, just kind of hanging on.”

The show is part of DeGraw’s “Raw Tour, “where he’ll be performing a stripped-down set, diving deep into his catalog for the first time in his career,” according to press materials.

His debut album was 2003’s Chariot, a million-plus seller than yielded singles such as, “I Don’t Want To Be,” “Follow Through,” and the title-track, “Chariot.”

Subsequent albums generated singles like, “In Love With A Girl,” “We Belong Together,” “Not Over You,” the Grammynominated, “We Both Know,” and, “She Sets the City on Fire.”

Its single, “Texas Women, Tennessee Whiskey,” is still garnering airplay, and it’s a great party song and a solid representation of the kind of upbeat country hybrid sound—it features phat R&B horns—the Josh Abbott Band delivers. This show should be a hoot!

Over in Morro Bay, Numbskull and Good Medicine have booked Cubensis, the Grateful Dead music experience, into The Siren on Tuesday, Oct. 3 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $15 presale or $20 at the door). The group draws on all areas of the famed jam band’s career, playing two sets of classic Deadhead favorites.

The show I’m most excited about is the Campfire Caravan with the Brothers Comatose, Mipso, and The Lil Smokies at BarrelHouse Brewing on Wednesday, Oct. 4 (6:30 p.m.; all ages; $20 presale or $25 at the door).

taking the show on the road all over the country, creating an intimate evening of Americana, bluegrass, and country music.

“With each band quickly rising the ranks, Campfire Caravan is a nod to the musicians’ early days playing music, when they’d perform for friends and family in basements, living rooms, and around campfires,” according to press materials. Campfire Caravan celebrates the American tradition of gathering communities around music.

In an untraditional format, all three bands rotate in the lineup with no single ensemble acting as the tour headliner.

A completely different show will be presented in each city with spontaneous collaborations amongst the groups taking place between sets.”

Gaither is releasing Hey Karma, his fifth CD of original material. The former journalist did a stint as a comedy writer, penning jokes for Jay Leno, “back when Jay Leno was still funny.”

atthew Vaughn returns to direct this sequel about Eggsy (Taron Egerton), a rough-aroundthe–edges street kid who in the first film (Kingsman: The Secret Service, 2014) was recruited into a super secret training program for British spies, after which he stopped a global threat posed by a tech genius. This time around, the spy organization’s headquarters is destroyed and the world is held hostage by a drug lord (Julianna Moore), so the Brits team up with an equally clandestine American spy organization called Statesman to save the world. Co-written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman, the film is based on the comic book series The Secret Service by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. (141 min.)

Glen People read reviews to determine if they should see a film, so let’s answer a few questions. Is it worth the price of admission to see Elton John do a flying karate kick in slow motion while smiling at the camera? I ask because for me, that was the film’s highlight. The film also boasts two pugs, one that gets blown up (sad face) but the other is a puppy. Cuteness! Is that worth the price of admission? Do you miss Burt Reynolds? I ask because Pedro Pascal as an American spy, code name Whiskey, is doing a passable Reynolds impression.

Basically, this new Kingsman installment is more Austin Powers than James Bond.

It’s a ridiculous exercise in excess that can’t seem to decide whether it’s a serious film or a spoof, and instead it feels like EYE SPY (Left to right) Eggsy (Taron Egerton), Harry Hart (Colin Firth), and Whiskey (Pedro Pascal channeling his inner Burt Reynolds) team up to save drug users from the U.S. President.

She taints her illegal drug supply with something that will kill users in about three days, but she’ll release the antidote if drugs are legalized. Hmm? See any holes in this scenario? The president sees it as a way to get rid of all drug users, but his Chief of Staff Fox (Emily Watson, and a meat grinder that works wonders slumming) reminds him that a lot of good at separating flesh from clothing and people use drugs, too, people’s children, bone when a whole body gets thrown in. parents, friends … and chiefs of staff!

I know, I know, of all the cockamamie With the president poised to let millions nonsense in this film to get caught up die, Eggsy and his new American friends with, the meat grinder is the least of my are all that stand between worldwide problems. Still, it’s a ridiculous notion slaughter and saving the illegal drug and everyone knows it. What the first trade’s clientele. Yes, it’s pretty morally Kingsman film had in charm and wit, confused. In between are a lot of loud the second lacks almost wholly. The fights, gun battles, car chases, and characters are likeable enough, and explosions. If that sounds like something the villains are acceptably evil, but it you’d like to watch, have at it. I found it strays so far into ridiculousness that it oppressive and dumb. becomes an adventure in eye rolling. Of Anna Poppy seems to have a firm grip course the American counterparts to on the drug market—from casual pot the Kingsman are a bunch of backwoods smokers to full-on addicts, no one is moonshiners complete with 10-gallon safe from the weird blue rash and the hats and electrified lassos, all named death that follows. She’s built a 1950s after spirits like Whiskey and Tequila. nostalgia-laced jungle wonderland, There just wasn’t much in this film to complete with henchmen and robot dogs, sink your teeth into, and the middle of the road reviews on both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes make a lot of sense—there is lots of action but little substance.

Glen “Manners maketh man. Do you know what that means?” Colin Firth’s character Harry Hart asks in both the original and this sequel. It’s a question that should be directed to director/ co-writer Vaughn, who’s insulted his audience with this bombastic mess.

Yes, the film boasts an impressive cast, but it gives them nothing to do. Aside from Watson, it wastes the talents of Jeff Bridges and Halle Berry. Channing Tatum shows up for a scene and then is cryogenically frozen for half the film.

Aside from Elton’s slo-mo karate kick, the only other moment of joy is when Mark Strong as British agent Merlin breaks into John Denver’s “Take Me Home,

mission. After Mitch gains access to a cell that no other CIA agent has been able to, Kennedy recruits Mitch and sends him to train with counterterrorism expert Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton), who puts Mitch and other recruits through their paces as he gears up for a mission involving a loose nuclear bomb.

Like the Jason Bourne series and the rebooted Bond franchise, this film aims to up the spy game ante with more action, cleverer spy craft, and more exotic locales.

It doesn’t quite top those two series, but this is a serviceable action flick with some potential, especially if O’Brien can grow into the role as Mitch. O’Brien’s a little wimpy and doesn’t quite have the same charisma and believability as Daniel Craig or Matt Damon. What the film does have, however, is Michael Keaton, who’s fantastic as the tough-as-nails Hurley.

Keaton’s role is a juicy one and he sinks his teeth deep into it … as one point literally. I won’t spoil it, but it’s a harrowing scene!

Both Rapp and Hurley are after Ghost (Taylor Kitsch), another of Hurley’s trainees who’s gone rogue. Ghost seems to be one step ahead of their every move, and the film delivers plenty of bloody action, from hand-to-hand combat, shootouts, and chases. Yes, compared to Bourne and Bond, the plot’s a little thin, but it’s still a lot of fun for action film fans.

There’s also plenty of intrigue and double and triple crosses to keep you guessing, and like any good spy film, there’s a femme fatale in the form of Persian agent Annika (Shiva Negar).

If you’re an action fan and enjoy the spy genre as much as I do, you’ll find this is worth the price of a matinee. If not, wait for a rental or streaming. As much potential as

County Roads” to draw the bad guys in before he triggers a land mine. Is that worth the price of admission? Personally, I could have waited to stream this one, but I’m not sure I wouldn’t have turned it off before getting to those two small, miraculous moments amid this silly mess.

Anna The good moments are few and far between, that’s for sure. You’ve named the two standouts with Elton John and Merlin’s John Denver shout out, but they hardly justify the other two hours and 20 minutes that the film takes up. The insult to injury really is that this cast is capable of putting out some pretty great performances, but this script underserves them left and right. It isn’t short on action, and at least Vaughn didn’t dwell on character introspection too much, but when he did things became boring pretty quickly. It’s ridiculous, sort of in a fun way, as long as you don’t engage your brain too much in the process. I can’t tell whether the ending was trying to set up for yet another installment down the road, but if so, let’s just hope the gents head back to England and get back to their James Bond spoofing roots, and forget whatever it is Golden Circle was trying to accomplish.

I can see saying yes to this film once it hits a streaming service, but is it worth the cold, hard cash you work so hard for to see it in theaters? Probably not.

It’s already going to take up a couple of hours and most likely leave you feeling less than satisfied. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

s he or isn’t he a replicant? That’s the question! With the long-awaited Blade Runner sequel—Blade Runner 2049 — scheduled to hit theaters on Oct. 6, the time seems right to revisit where it all began, director Ridley Scott’s dystopian sci-fi classic about a cop named Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), whose job is to track down and dispatch “replicants,” humanlike androids gone rogue. The film is loosely based on sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Since its release 35 years ago, fans have puzzled over whether Deckard himself was a replicant. Who better to track down and terminate superhuman androids than another superhuman android? In the theatrical cut, it’s left ambiguous. If you’ve seen Scott’s director’s version The Final Cut, it seems sure Deckard is, but with director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Sicario, Enemy, Prisoners) at the helm of the sequel and a story by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green, we’ll see

where the new film takes us.

In the original set in LA, circa 2019, Deckard is after four bio-engineered replicants who stole a ship in space and returned to Earth to find their creator.

The replicants know they have a fouryear lifespan, and they hope to find their creator and for him to extend their lives.

The only way to tell a human from a replicant is to administer the “VoightKampff” test, which examines replicants’ emotional responses to a series of questions. So to see if the test works, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation, which manufactures the replicants, and he administers the test on corporation head Eldon Tyrell’s (Joe Turkel) assistant Rachel (Sean Young), who in fact is an experimental replicant who believes herself to be human. So begins Deckard’s foray into the underbelly of LA and his search for Leon (Brion James), Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), Zhora (Joanna Cassidy), and Pris (Daryl Hannah).

The film is notable for several reasons.

Its futuristic LA is brilliantly conceived as a dark, sprawling metropolis inhabited by various ethnicities whose language has become a pigeon amalgam of English, Spanish, and Asian tongues. It’s visually amazing. Its Vangelis-composed soundtrack delivers a brooding, synthdriven, futuristic sound that compounds the film’s eeriness. It started a mad rush to adapt Philip K. Dick’s work to the big screen. Though originally garnering mixed reviews, it’s now considered one of the best sci-fi films of all time. The acting is amazing, and there’s a lot to puzzle over.

Harrison Ford returns to reprise his role as Deckard in the new one, which also stars Ryan Gosling as a new Blade Runner, Officer K, who tracks down Deckard in an effort to discover a long-buried secret. Is he or isn’t he? (117 min.) Δ —Glen Starkey

HOME AGAIN What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it up? Matinee Where’s it showing? Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy Reese Witherspoon stars as Alice Kinney, a recently separated single mom and interior designer relocating from New York to her late legendary filmmaker father’s estate in Hollywood, in the somewhat entertaining and interesting, but ultimately ungrounded and directionless rom-com that is Home Again.

After 15 years of marriage, Alice decides to jump ship from her preoccupied music executive husband, Austen (Michael Sheen), and moves with her two young girls to Los Angeles. The story picks up with Alice sobbing in her childhood bathroom on her 40th birthday, interrupted by her kids Isabel and Rosie (Lola Flanery and Eden Grace) who have their first day of school in LA. Simultaneously, we meet a trio of aspiring filmmaker white dudes (unrelated to Alice) in their mid-20s: Harry (Pico Alexander), George (Jon Rudnitsky), and Teddy (Nat Wolff). A director, writer, and actor, respectively, they’re scrapping and crawling to get one of their scripts picked up by a production company.

Alice goes out drinking on her birthday night and makes acquaintances with the three youngsters at a bar, taking Harry back to the house for a sloppy make-out. It turns out all three of the guys crashed at Alice’s house, and the next morning they realize she’s the daughter of John Kinney, a filmmaker they all respect. Alice’s mom (Candice Bergen) comes over and takes to the trio, convincing Alice to let them stay in their guesthouse while they try to get their movie picked up.

At its very core, Home Again is about two things: the oftenabsurd chase to achieve the Hollywood dream, and the struggle of an extremely privileged white woman to find herself and her confidence amid a failing marriage. While this premise likely doomed the movie from being good from the start, for some reason I found myself pretty engaged and entertained by it. The characters are funny and thought-out and have good chemistry.

If you’re from LA or have spent time there, you’ll recognize the culture and appreciate the portrayal and satire. Home Again gets off to a good start before it kind of deteriorates into wishywashy ridiculousness by the end. But I still thought the overall performances were kind of charming and original.

IT What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy From director Andy Muschietti (Mama) comes the remake of the 1990 mini-series thriller IT, based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades. When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

So here’s the rundown: King’s horrific clown monster Pennywise, who dwells in the sewers, is portrayed by Skarsgård (Allegiant, Atomic Blonde) this time around—in the original, it was Tim Curry (Kinsey, The Rocky Horror Picture Show)—and is the source of a fleet of missing children in the town of Derry, Maine. Everyone in the town seems pretty nonchalant about this, except for the children, who as the clown’s chosen victims are understandably terrified.

Bill’s (Jaeden Lieberher of The Book of Henry) little brother Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott) is the first kid to vanish in the film’s opening sequence, leaving Bill desperate to find answers.

Rounding out Bill’s crew of misfit friends looking to uncover the truth is the hilarious, smac- talking Richie (Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things fame), new kid Ben (Jeremy Ray Taylor), germaphobe Eddie (Jack Dylan Grazer), the slacking-on-his batmitzvah-studying Stanley (Wyatt Oleff), the homeschooled kid Mike (Chosen Jacobs), and Beverly (Sophia Lillis)—the token girl of the group with a swirl of rumors surrounding her.

The thing about IT is that it’s a movie that a 12-year-old would find scary, but it’s done extremely well. Honestly, the scariest parts of the film have nothing to do with the murderous clown and everything to do with the very real shit these kids are dealing with. Bill has zero empathy or support from his parents over the loss of his brother; Beverly is dealing with her ultra creepy, lecherous dad (nothing super graphic is shown, but it’s blatantly implied that he’s molesting her); Mike is the only homeschooled and black kid in town who lost his parents in a house fire; and everyone is getting the shit kicked out of them by the town bully Henry (Nicholas Hamilton), who apparently has a lot of rage built up inside because his dad is a hard-ass cop. In one scene we see Henry take a knife and attempt to carve his name into Ben’s stomach. It’s all kinds of messed up.

Like Split Screen columnist Glen Starkey would (and did) say, IT works best as a coming of age story about facing your fears even when you feel vulnerable, rather than a straight up, jumping-out-of-your-seat scary movie. That is, provided you’re a grown-up who has long gotten over your clown issues. Despite the majority of the cast being under 18, these young actors all deliver stellar performances. In particular, I’m excited to see where Lieberher, Wolfhard, and Lillis’ careers go as they all grow up and continue to hone their craft. Oh, and to the jerk that left a red balloon in the hallway outside the theater room, your gesture was not appreciated. If you’re looking strictly to be scared out of your mind, then I’d say this movie isn’t worth a full priced ticket, better to go for a matinee. (135 min.)

THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy The third installment of the Lego Movie franchise follows a group of ninja warriors led by Master Builder Lloyd (voiced by Dave Franco) as they defend Ninjago City from the evil warlord Garmadon (Justin Theroux). But when a new threat arises, the

ninjas must join forces with Garmadon against a common enemy.

To save the city, the team must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their inner powers.

The film opens with a news broadcast announcing a 95 percent chance of Garmadon attacking Ninjago City. The two anchors deliver the news nonchalantly as if it’s a weather forecast, which leaves us to assume the threat is a daily norm.

The citizens of Ninjago seem unaffected as they go about their day. They’ve put their complete confidence in six mysterious ninjas who have saved the city time and time again.

When Garmadon does attack, his weapon of choice is a giant cannon that shoots live sharks (and a few dolphins) at the city’s inhabitants. While reloading, he notices a pedestrian with a balloon. He orders one of his goons to pop it.

Garmadon’s behavior makes him seem like a character that a child would create, which is exactly what the filmmakers intended. Like the two previous films, the best parts of The Lego Ninjago Movie resemble things you might see kids acting out while playing with Legos. That conceit explains the shark cannon and other unadulterated, imaginative absurdities.

But unlike its predecessors, Ninjago loses most of its charm

by the halfway point. Instead of a consistent flow of irreverent gags, Ninjago delivers all of its best jokes early on and the remainder feels like a snail race to the finish line. Having said that, Ninjago is far from irredeemable as there is enough silliness in that first half to warrant its existence. One bit that utilized the Wilhelm scream multiple times in a row made me crack up more than it should have.

The banter between Lloyd and Garmadon is especially good.

The two have a comical Luke/ Vader relationship once Lloyd reveals that he’s actually Garmadon’s bastard son (which is not a spoiler if you’ve seen the trailers or the TV show). If Garmadon is Lloyd’s Vader, then Master Wu (voiced by Jackie Chan) is his Ben Kenobi. Chan is great as the archetypal, wise, old mentor who only speaks in cryptic advice.

The other ninjas each have their own quirks but ultimately get lost in the scenery as the father figure/ son triangle between Lloyd, Garmadon, and Wu becomes the primary focus. The final result feels more like an extended Robot Chicken sketch (except for kids, of course) than a cohesive piece. Ninjago is the MOVIES continued page 62

MOTHER! What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Stadium 10 Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain The Wrestler, Noah) directs this psychological thriller about a couple, played by Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem, whose quiet country life is upended by unwanted guests.

Don’t come to Mother! looking for a standard issue horror mystery. Aronofsky’s new film doesn’t care about your expectations. Instead, it’s there to get your wheels turning as you try to figure out what it all means and how all the pieces fit together.

First of all, the film takes place in a single location: a rambling two story country house surrounded by fields and trees. There’s literally nothing else around. The characters are nameless—no names are ever uttered, and in the credits Lawrence’s character is “Mother” and Bardem’s is “Him.” The first uninvited guest to arrive is “Man” (Ed Harris), followed by Man’s wife “Woman” (Michelle Pfeiffer). Later, their acrimonious sons, “Younger Brother” (Brian Gleeson) and “Oldest Son” (Domhnall Gleeson), show up.

We learn that Bardem’s character is a published poet who’s unfortunately blocked. The secluded setting is supposed to give him the space to create again.

When the “guests” begin to arrive, he thrives off them, inviting them in, while Lawrence’s character doesn’t understand why he wants these strangers in their house, which she has been lovingly restoring room by room. From there, increasingly strange things happen—the house seems to have a life of its own, more uninvited “guests” arrive and further

Pick

At the Movies disturb and abuse the household.

It’s an uncomfortable film, drenched in tension and dread, and as soon as I left the theater I turned to my wife and said, “I have a couple theories.” The film is like a puzzle to solve, an unpleasant puzzle.

I’m still not sure what it all means, but one of my theories is the house is a metaphor for the mind, and that Bardem’s character is the ego, Lawrence is the moralizing super-ego, and all the various guests are the id, and their need for sex, sustenance, and bodily function. Of course, the story may simply be a metaphor for creativity, with Lawrence’s character the muse, showing how creation is also an act of destruction. Each new creative endeavor requires struggle. To complicate it all, there are some Biblical elements—a Cain and Abel story, a messiah story.

Aronofsky is good at making puzzlers, and I’m not sure viewers are supposed to understand every element. It’s a film that takes risks and is sure to divide audiences.

Many will hate it because it doesn’t offer the escapist fare some go to the theater for. It’s not exactly entertaining in a “sit back and enjoy the ride” kind of way.

Instead it will have you scratching your head, wondering what Aronofsky’s up to.

A lot of his films are like that. His first feature, Pi, was about a paranoid mathematician searching for a number that explains nature’s universal patterns.

Requiem for a Dream followed four drug addicts whose chemically induced utopias disintegrate as their addictions deepened. The Fountain was a sci-fi love story through time. His most accessible film was The Wrestler, about an aging professional trying to create a life outside of the ring. Black Swan was about the insanity-inducing pressure of professional ballet. Noah, Aronofsky’s last feature, was a deeply alternative take on the Biblical flood story.

If you’re going to an Aronofsky film and expect Hollywood business as usual, you’ll be disappointed. This film is weird.

REBEL IN THE RYE

What’s it rated? PG-13 What's it worth? Streaming Where’s it showing? The Palm (Last showing Sept. 29), Galaxy Director Danny Strong (The Butler, Recount) presents this dramatic biopic about renowned author and recluse J.D. Salinger (Nicholas Hoult). Following the path to Catcher in the Rye’s publication, the movie isn’t subtle in drawing connections between Salinger and Holden Caulfield — but the result doesn’t turn out to be that flattering.

After wandering the New York bar scene as a smart-mouthed college dropout, young Salinger decides to go back to school and

pursue creative writing at Columbia. With some tough love from wisecracking mentor Whit Burnett (Kevin Spacey), Salinger works his way up the short story ladder to his dreams of publication. But WWII’s arrival cuts that pursuit short.

Salinger goes off to storm Normandy with stories of the sardonic Holden in his pockets, but returns home with PTSD and zero desire to keep writing. After a bit of angsty soul searching—and a sitar-accompanied dive into Buddhism— Salinger puts himself into his work and publishes Catcher in the Rye. Yet the newfound fame has unintended consequences.

Rebel in the Rye leans hard on Salinger’s name recognition to pull the story through. Maybe that’s to be expected—the film’s demographic is obviously Catcher in the Rye fans. But Rebel does little to prove Salinger’s writing cred besides having every other character constantly rant about his exceptional talent. Sure, we all know Catcher in the Rye will eventually get published. But for a movie about a book, there’s an ironic, tiring lack of “show, not tell.”

Spacey’s whiskey-fueled rants are great and Salinger himself is a complicated man worth analyzing. But the movie wants you

to root for a caustic, egotistical Salinger without giving many reasons why he’s earned it. Rebel in the Rye constantly tries to make a parallel between Salinger and Holden, and I guess it ends up succeeding: both are sarcastic, angry, and often onedimensional.

Rebel in the Rye’s wit and banter is entertaining overall. But perhaps—much like Catcher’s own critics would suggest— it’s best appreciated in small, sassy doses.

That Buckeye view

VIEWSHED A gander south toward Cambria from one of the perches afforded by a trek up the Buckeye Trail will make the climb worth the work.

Get your hike on over the Pacific Ocean

T

he Buckeye Trail will kick your ass.

But it’s totally worth it.

As Highway 1 bends around Salmon Creek, there it is, off the road on the right, past the horrendous mess that is people parking to gawk at Salmon Creek Falls and to the left of the old Salmon Creek ranger station.

Just park, squeeze through the wooden gate, and start climbing up a steep hill that weaves half a mile through chaparral habitat before it opens up to the first of many blue views of the Pacific Ocean and the winding road below. Of course, that winding road to the north of Salmon Creek is now covered in a giant pile of dirt thanks to the Mud Creek slide, but that’s also pretty cool to look at.

Plus, Caltrans crews are feverishly (that might be a generous term—it’s probably more like “carefully,” because the slide is apparently still settling in) working to rebuild a suitable route for California’s famous highway.

In the spring, purple lupine, red paintbrushes, orange poppies, and white yucca paint the vision with even more color. If we get any sizeable chunk of rain this winter, the hills will regain their green sheen. For now, you’ll have to be OK with the windy wave of golden grasses.

Continue onward and upward along the hillside to a gate where the Buckeye and Soda Springs trails meet, hanging a right to enter the Silver Peak Wilderness.

But before you turn to head inland, flip around—the coastline stretches endlessly to the south, past Rocky Point and onward toward San Simeon and Cambria.

Then you can slip into the oak forest, tracking across the seasonal flows of Soda Springs Creek on a leaf-covered trail with loose rock that will force you to watch your footing.

The trail winds ever higher to the Buckeye Camp, a 3-mile journey from Salmon Creek. It opens from shaded oak trees into sun-drenched hillsides and even more expansive views. Once again, you can gape at the Pacific with a path that persists in its incessant rise above the road below, through pine and oak forests, with each peek above the next “summit” giving more Big Sur coastline away. Less than a quarter mile from camp is a vista worth picnicking at. Last time I was up there, a guy had a hammock set up in the tree.

As you once again turn inland, you will eventually stumble into a great meadow with an equally great oak tree. There is a picnic table and a natural spring. You can continue about 2 1/2 more miles up to the 9/8/2017

@getoutslo Upper Cruikshank Camp for even more ocean and wilderness views. But for a day trip, this is generally where I’ve expended all the energy I want to spend. The 1,500plus elevation climb is usually enough for my legs to tell me “no more!”

Next stop: Rocky Point Inn for a snack and a beverage and onto San Carpoforo Creek Beach for a sit by the ocean. Δ A trail worth more than 10,000 steps is perfect for Editor Camillia Lanham.

Dinner and a movie?

THE PLOT THICKENS Each Monday night, an Italian master chef is churning out incredible gourmet eats paired with classic flicks in Cambria.

His name? Giovanni Grillezoni.

His game? Making you very, very happy, indeed.

H AYLEY’S BITES PLANTING SEEDS That’s how you thrive: In SLO, we rely on thousands of vineyard and farm workers to plant, care for, and harvest the fruits, vegetables, and wine grapes we are fortunate enough to enjoy. Last month, these men, women, and their families received significant support from the local community when the Central Coast Wine Classic raised $145,700 for the cause.

Amazing! Want to learn more about how to show our local farmworker community maximum love? Go to talleyvineyards.com and click the Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers link

Italian Master Chef finds visual, culinary harmony in Cambria

ou may remember Harmony Café owner Chef Giovanni Grillezoni from his famous location in the tiny town of Harmony nestled between Cambria and Cayucos. You know: Population 18, if you count the cows?

There, in that quaint, storybook village of glassblowers and longtime locals, the Modena, Italy, born master chef developed a glowing reputation as one of the Central Coast’s best kept culinary secrets.

Fans adored the fact that his brisk and affordable gourmet menus changed weekly, always typed up fresh on the trusty antique typewriter.

“I believed in Harmony, and I put my heart into that café. It was going incredibly well,” the chef said. “Who doesn’t love Harmony?”

When the cafe—which opened in 2012—shuttered due a change of town ownership, Grillezoni looked to relocate to an equally magical setting.

But, there was the rub. After idyllic Harmony, where could one find such utter fantasy?

The chef knew the new location had to be near the coast, had to have lots of character, and had to be cozy.

Anyone familiar with the Pewter Plough Playhouse in Cambria can attest that this “jewel box” by the sea exudes these attributes in spades.

A new Harmony Café was born.

Situated just next to the beloved theater, Harmony Café at the Pewter Playhouse features a welcoming dining room and brand new kitchen. The food—those garden fresh soups, salads, sandwiches, and entrees made with heaps of Old World Italian love—have not changed one bit.

A menu from earlier this year offered up fresh handmade taglioline pasta with butter cream sauce, local broccoli, organic chicken, and Parmigiano Reggiano; lamb carpaccio with sun dried tomato, artichoke, olive oil, lemon juice, and olives; fresh burrata and pesto; and pancetta-wrapped pork filet with caramelized apple, each for less than $20. improved modern American cuisine menu bursting with autumnal allure …

Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co.’s annual Figtoberfest might be over, but you can still slurp up the local Arroyo Grande brewery’s Sixth Anniversary Barrel Aged Grand Cru Ale, which spent serious time in apple-pear brandy barrels (figmtnbrew.com).

Makes you want to celebrate the holidays early, right?

FRESH FINDS Welcome additions: Allegretto Vineyard Resort’s Cello Ristorante & Bar has announced its new chef, Justin Picard. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, Picard has worked in some

Get happy

Harmony Café at the Pewter Plough Playhouse is located at 824 Main St. in Cambria. Hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Movie nights with filminspired buffet take place every Monday starting at 5 p.m. For more information, go to the cafe’s Facebook page or call 924-1219.

A more current dinner menu showcases much of the same deliciousness without the high price tag: black linguine with lobster, homemade eggplant gnocchi, and braised free range veal osso buco with veggies and risotto, to name a few mouth-waterers.

I asked the chef just how he manages to survive these days, considering the anemic trickle of tourists to the area.

Highway 1 still faces major closures, and the chef continues to use only the highest quality ingredients—often working with a local Cambria farmer to find the very best organic produce.

“Well, it’s just me in the kitchen!”

Grillezoni answered along with a signature good-natured belly laugh. “I have a beautiful lady who serves for lunch and dinner; I have a part-time dishwasher come in when I need him, or I clean the dishes myself. It’s no big deal. I am keeping myself extremely busy.”

I’ll say. The locals are noticing Grillezoni’s efforts, too. In his 35-year career as a chef in the U.S., he’s worked at some of the most important restaurants in Southern California and beyond. Safe to say this guy’s got a few tricks up his sleeve.

Those magic tricks include: adding a local jazz piano player to the mix, who tickles the keys while you eat (talk about old-school charm). On Monday nights, you can also sit back and enjoy that perfect date night combo: dinner and a show.

No, not a theater performance, like you might expect. The chef is screening movies, and old ones, at that. Like his dusty typewriter, these flicks have lots of life left to give.

“We installed a new screen, speaker, and projector to show the films in the playhouse. Every week, I choose a movie and design a buffet inspired by the film,” Grillezoni said. “You’ll get a French movie with French food, for example. Next Monday, we have a film made in San Francisco, so I designed food surrounding that. I have 26 movies and counting.”

According to the chef, just a few weeks ago, he plated a Sophia Loren-inspired dinner paired with the 1958 romantic comedy Boathouse. This is far from just a cute idea: Grillezoni has actually met the Italian movie legend, known for her bombshell beauty and unabashed love of spaghetti (and all carbs, really).

“Years ago, when I lived in Thousand Oaks, I made a special delivery to her house in West Lake Village,” Grillezoni

H AYLEY’S P ICKS City Farm SLO Wants YOU to help harvest

If you didn’t know that there was a thriving 19-acre urban farm hiding just off Highway 101 between Madonna and Los Osos Valley Roads in SLO, you’re not alone. There is no better way to get acquainted with this particular agricultural innovation than by attending the farm’s first ever Harvest Festival, slated for Oct. 8 from 1 to 5 p.m. More than the hayrides, yoga, farmers’ market, and cooking demos, you’ll receive an even greater gift: The ability to take part in real-life harvest activities! That means picking, planting, and rubbing elbows with the farmers who serve as stewards of this lovely land, which I should note is part of the Calle Joaquin Agricultural Reserve.

said. “For the movie, I made the same food that I created for Sofia Loren herself.”

Do you want to taste what Loren tasted on that fateful meeting? Or perhaps you’d like to ply the chef with questions about the actresses’ still stunning good looks?

You can try, but I have a feeling this chef will be very busy in the kitchen, doing what he does best. After all, it is not his job to entertain; that’s what the films are for.

“It’s my job to create the recipes and to create something for people,” Grillezoni said. “Something to make them very happy.” Δ Hayley Thomas Cain would love to go to Modena to slurp up the legendary balsamic vinegar straight from the source. She can be reached at hthomas@ newtimesslo.com.

You’ll also meet the movers and shakers behind some of SLO’s brightest advocates for ag sustainability: Green SLO, Slow Money SLO, Seed Saver Exchange, Solar Cookers, and Glean SLO, to name just a few. Bet you didn’t know that local chefs and artisans utilize this land to cultivate some of your favorite fall produce. Plus, the first 250 people to show up with a $5 donation will receive a handy tote to carry all those fresh crops home! The next time you’re driving past this part of the freeway, remember what’s growing on the other side. We must nurture green places if we want to see them flourish into the future. I’ll brake for that.

Children enter for free; $5 suggested donation for adults. Δ Hayley Thomas Cain salutes SLO City Farm. She can be reached at hthomas@ newtimesslo.com.

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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 170518. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Dated: September 11, 2017 MID VALLEY SERVICES, INC., a California corporation 7644 N.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Would I enjoy following you on Twitter or Tumblr?

Send me links to your tweets or posts: truthrooster@gmail.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Conceptual artist Jonathon Keats likes to play along with the music of nature. On one occasion he collaborated with Mandeville Creek in Montana. He listened and studied the melodies that emanated from its flowing current. Then he moved around some of the underwater rocks, subtly changing the creek’s song. Your assignment, Aries, is to experiment with equally imaginative and exotic collaborations. The coming weeks will be a time when you can make beautiful music together with anyone or anything that tickles your imagination.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some newspapers publish regular rectifications of the mistakes they’ve made in past editions.

For example, the editors of the UK publication The Guardian once apologized to readers for a mistaken statement about Richard Wagner. They said that when the 19th-century German composer had trysts with his chambermaid, he did not in fact ask her to wear purple underpants, as previously reported. They were pink underpants. I tell you this, Taurus, as encouragement to engage in corrective meditations yourself. Before bedtime on the next 10 nights, scan the day’s events and identify any actions you might have done differently—perhaps with more integrity or focus or creativity. This will have a deeply tonic effect. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll flourish as you make amendments and revisions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s high time to allow your yearnings to overflow ... to surrender to the vitalizing pleasures of nonrational joy ... to grant love the permission to bless you and confound you with its unruly truths. For inspiration, read this excerpt of a poem by Caitlyn Siehl. “My love is honey tongue. Thirsty love.

My love is peach juice dripping down the neck. Too much sugar love. Sticky sweet, sticky sweat love. My love can’t ride a bike.

My love walks everywhere. Wanders through the river. Feeds the fish, skips the stones. Barefoot love. My love stretches itself out on the grass, kisses a nectarine. My love is never waiting. My love is a traveler.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): One of the oldest houses in Northern Europe is called the Knap of Howar. Built out of stone around 3,600 B.C., it faces the wild sea on Papa Westray, an island off the northern coast of Scotland. Although no one has lived there for 5,000 years, some of its stone furniture remains intact. Places like this will have a symbolic power for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. They’ll tease your imagination and provoke worthwhile fantasies. Why? Because the past will be calling to you more than usual. The old days and old ways will have secrets to reveal and stories to teach. Listen with alert discernment.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): The United States has a bizarre system for electing its president. There’s nothing like it in any other democratic nation on earth. Every four years, the winning candidate needs only to win the electoral college, not the popular vote. So theoretically, it’s possible to garner just 23 percent of all votes actually cast, and yet still ascend to the most powerful political position in the world. For example, in two of the last five elections, the new chief of state has received significantly fewer votes than his main competitor.

I suspect that you may soon benefit from a comparable anomaly, Leo. You’ll be able to claim victory on a technicality.

Your effort may be “ugly,” yet good enough to succeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I found this advertisement for a workshop: “You will learn to do the INCREDIBLE! Smash bricks with your bare hands! Walk on fiery coals unscathed! Leap safely off a roof! No broken bones! No cuts! No pain! Accomplish the impossible first! Then everything else will be a breeze!”

I bring this to your attention, Virgo, not because I think you should sign up for this class or anything like it. I hope you

don’t. In fact, a very different approach is preferable for you: I recommend that you start with safe, manageable tasks.

Master the simple details and practical actions. Work on achieving easy, low-risk victories. In this way, you’ll prepare yourself for more epic efforts in the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be realistic, Libra: Demand the impossible; expect inspiration; visualize yourself being able to express yourself more completely and vividly than you ever have before. Believe me when I tell you that you now have extra power to develop your sleeping potentials, and are capable of accomplishing feats that might seem like miracles. You are braver than you know, as sexy as you need to be, and wiser than you were two months ago. I am not exaggerating, nor am I flattering you. It’s time for you to start making your move to the next level.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to take extra good care of yourself during the next three weeks. Do whatever it takes to feel safe and protected and resilient. Ask for the support you need, and if the people whose help you solicit can’t or won’t give it to you, seek elsewhere. Provide your body with more than the usual amount of healthy food, deep sleep, tender touch, and enlivening movement. Go see a psychotherapist or counselor or good listener every single day if you want. And don’t you dare apologize or feel guilty for being such a connoisseur of self-respect and self-healing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A queen bee may keep mating until she gathers 70 million sperm from many different drones. When composing my horoscopes, I aim to cultivate a metaphorically comparable receptivity. Long ago I realized that all of creation is speaking to me all the time; I recognized that everyone I encounter is potentially a muse or teacher. If I hope to rustle up the oracles that are precisely suitable for your needs, I have to be alert to the possibility that they may arrive from unexpected directions and surprising sources. Can you handle being that open to influence, Sagittarius? Now is a favorable time to expand your capacity to be fertilized.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re approaching a rendezvous with prime time. Any minute now you could receive an invitation to live up to your hype or fulfill your promises to yourself—or both. This test is likely to involve an edgy challenge that is both fun and daunting, both liberating and exacting. It will have the potential to either steal a bit of your soul or else heal an ache in your soul. To ensure the healing occurs rather than the stealing, do your best to understand why the difficulty and the pleasure are both essential.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1901, physician Duncan MacDougall carried out experiments that led him to conclude that the average human soul weighs 21 grams. Does his claim have any merit? That question is beyond my level of expertise. But if he was right, then I’m pretty sure your soul has bulked up to at least 42 grams in the past few weeks. The work you’ve been doing to refine and cultivate your inner state has been heroic. It’s like you’ve been ingesting a healthy version of soul-building steroids. Congrats!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There are enough authorities, experts, and know-it-alls out there trying to tell you what to think and do. In accordance with current astrological factors, I urge you to utterly ignore them during the next two weeks. And do it gleefully, not angrily. Exult in the power that this declaration of independence gives you to trust your own assessments and heed your own intuitions. Furthermore, regard your rebellion as good practice for dealing with the little voices in your head that speak for those authorities, experts, and know-it-alls. Rise up and reject their shaming and criticism, too. Shield yourself from their fearful fantasies. ∆
