Dispensary can continue to operate over dance studio’s objections, judge rules
O
PHOTO BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS
ne of Grover Beach’s first commercial cannabis dispensaries was handed a legal victory after a SLO County judge shot down a neighboring dance studio’s request to halt its operations. In an Oct. 2 ruling, SLO County Superior Court Judge Linda Hurst denied a request for an injunction to prevent the dispensary, Natural Healing Center, from distributing and selling marijuana out of its storefront at 998 Huston St. in Grover Beach. The request for the injunction is part of a lawsuit against the dispensary filed by the owner of Coastal Dance and Music Academy, a dance studio located across the parking lot in the same building complex. “We are pleased with the Judge’s decision,” David Separzadeh, co-founder of Natural Healing Center, wrote in an email to New Times. “Natural Healing Center is a firstclass operation and a proud member of the community.” The lawsuit against the dispensary, which sells both medicinal and recreational cannabis products, is the latest chapter in a long-running dispute with the dance studio’s owners. Beginning as early as January, Kathleen Schultz, one of the academy’s owners, raised concerns about the dispensary and called on members of the Grover Beach City Council to deny the company a permit to operate. Schultz claimed that the studio was a “youth center,” and that Natural Healing Center couldn’t legally operate within 600 feet of the business. In a written declaration to the court, Schultz also claimed that the studio’s business had been hurt by the dispensary, which officially opened for business in July.
“From the time that [Natural Healing Center] filed their application with the city … we have seen unprecedented lowering in enrollment for our courses, leading to lost revenue,” Schultz stated. “We have also been told by many parents that they would not come to the studio with their children if the marijuana dispensary became operational.” However, in a written declaration to the court, Grover Beach City STILL IN BUSNIESS Natural Healing Center (above), a cannabis Attorney David Hale stated dispensary in Grover Beach, can continue operating despite attempts there was not any evidence by a nearby dance studio to shut it down. submitted to prove the academy was classified as part, why Hurst ruled against the injunction.

Creston landowners voice qualms about Paso water management
Robles Groundwater Basin would be a political and logistical headache, a room full of Creston landowners squashed it at a tense Oct. 8 workshop on the subject at Creston Elementary School. Agencies overlying the 780-square-mile basin are tasked with writing a 20-year groundwater sustainability plan to submit to the state by 2020, and San Luis Obispo County and water basin officials are holding forums with affected property owners in the seven basin “sub areas” to gather their thoughts on the process and what they want in future groundwater levels. Several dozen Creston landowners attended and inundated hydrologist Derrik Williams with questions and concerns. Many expressed skepticism toward the data on the conditions of the basin, and took issue with the boundaries of the Creston sub-area, which includes the wine region of El Pomar near Templeton. SLO County’s groundwater model shows that the Creston basin area is in a state of overdraft (meaning that more water is pumped out than recharged each year). But the data presented failed to connect with some residents. “I think where we keep getting caught up is as Creston people we really identify with our area fiercely,” one meeting attendee said. “As we look at these numbers and we see them, they actually really don’t communicate anything to us. For us, we’re thinking, well, that’s not our overdraft, that’s their overdraft. So where’s the data that just speaks to us?” Attendees voiced frustrations with the growth of the wine and tourism industry throughout

North County, suggesting that those factors have the most detrimental impact on the aquifer. But Williams said the basin’s overdraft can be attributed more to a lack of basin recharge due to drought than the increase in demand. He acknowledged overpumping is one factor. “I will admit that we are pumping more in this basin than we can sustainably,” Williams said. “At the same time, people who own land and have invested in land have a right to use that investment. My job is to try to get to a place where everybody gets something out of this.” Williams asked the residents where they wished to have their groundwater levels at in the future. A prior survey of landowners suggested they wanted the levels where they were 10 years ago. The Oct. 8 meeting did not generate much consensus on that subject— other than a prevailing sentiment that water conservation should be a chief strategy to balancing the aquifer. —Peter Johnson

increases, it was 700 shy of meeting the 50 percent-plus-one threshold to successfully protest the changes. Starting on Nov. 1, the increases for water, sewer, and the sustainable water facility will go into effect over the course of three years. At the Oct. 4 special meeting, CCSD board member Harry Farmer said that he comprehends the community’s frustration with the district. “I totally understand how people in this community are feeling, because in the past it would appear that your money has not been spent wisely and you really have had no knowledge as to how your money has been spent,” Farmer said. “I would hope people see that we are at [more of] a turning point at this district than we have ever been before.” The decision came at a difficult time for the district as it let go of its general manager, Jerry Gruber, last month; filed a $3.5 million lawsuit against CDM Smith for what it alleges are damages and bad equipment stemming from the construction of the sustainable water facility; and gears up for new district board members at the upcoming November election. According to the staff report, the rate increases are designed to phase in capital improvement funding over three years and help restore balanced budgets with the assumption that the sustainable water facility will be in operation for two months of each year on average. The current $13.79 residents pay for water will increase to $16 on Nov. 1, $17.45 in July 2019, and $18 in July 2020. They pay a sustainable water facility charge of $6.50 that would increase to $8 in November, $9.04 in July 2019, and $10.13 in July 2020. The sewer payment will go up from $30.29 to $35.74 in November, $41.10 in July 2019, and $46.03 in July 2020. —Karen Garcia
#MeToo movement increases calls to RISE crisis line
RISE, which provides services and support for rape and sexual assault victims in SLO County, recently reported a 322 percent increase in calls to its sexual assault crisis hotline from the previous year. The nonprofit’s executive director, Jennifer Adams, said the increase in calls corresponded with the rise of the #MeToo movement. “It’s given people a voice and platform to tell their stories, and we are grateful that we can be there to help them,” Adams said. Adams said the RISE sexual assault crisis line received a total 129 calls between January and September of 2017. In 2018, the number of calls jumped to 416 for the same period of time. RISE’s waiting list for counseling also increased from an average of 30 to 50 people last year to 175 in 2018. The #MeToo movement exploded into the national spotlight in October 2017 after The New York Times published a story outlining allegations that Hollywood mega producer Harvey Weinstein raped and sexually assaulted multiple women. Following the article’s publication, stories of high-profile men accused of sexual assault or harassment continued to come
VIEWER DISCRETION to light. Recently, the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexually assaulting Dr. Christine Blasey Ford at a high school party when they were both teenagers, and the sentencing of comedian Bill Cosby, who was accused of drugging and raping multiple women over a period of decades, once again rocketed the issue back to the forefront of the national conversation. “We definitely see an increase when there are things going on in the media,” Adams said. “Those stories act as triggers for people’s experiences.” Adams said victims who have experienced an assault or harassment in the past are now more willing to come forward. “They know that there are people who will believe them and that there is help available,” she said. RISE started a #MeToo support group in direct response to the movement. The drop-in group, which is facilitated by a licensed therapist, is a place where survivors can share their stories and learn tools to help them heal and cope with their trauma, Adams said. The #MeToo support group meets every Tuesday between noon and 1 p.m. at 51 Zaca Lane in SLO. —Chris McGuinness
SLO seeks solutions for idling rideshare cars downtown
Catching an Uber or Lyft ride home after a long night of bar hopping has become a common practice in downtown San Luis Obispo. It’s so common that the city is facing an issue of too many rideshare cars idling on its main drag of Higuera Street—with nowhere to pull over. “There are documented issues of people running across the street at night. We’ve had cars hit, doors hit, and all kinds of other issues,” SLO Police Chief Deanna Cantrell told City Council members during an Oct. 2 discussion on the issue. The city is looking at carving out designated parking spaces downtown for rideshare services to pull over. But that’s proving tricky because parking is tight downtown. City staff’s suggested fix—to designate all “commercial loading zones” as Uber and Lyft drop-off/pickup areas— was rejected by the City Council because shoppers utilize those yellow-striped parking spots when parking enforcement ends. Taking away those eligible spots would result in a loss of 80 to 120 parking spaces for downtown visitors after 6 p.m. “That’s my main concern when we’re looking at this,” said Councilmember Aaron Gomez, who owns a downtown business. “It’s not getting any easier to be a business downtown. ... That’s why I don’t support this whole shift.” The Downtown SLO Association also

opposed the change. “There is clearly expressed fear from our businesses that parking is scarce downtown and that we are losing business as a result of frustrated customers,” a letter from the Downtown Association to City Council read. “If we are displacing hundreds of visitors each evening, we are missing out on valuable revenue and adversely affecting the livelihood of local businesses.” At the urging of Chief Cantrell and other city officials monitoring the problem, the council didn’t abandon the issue. The City Council directed staff to select a smaller area on Higuera—likely between Broad and Garden streets—that could be designated as a rideshare pickup and drop-off location. —Peter Johnson
Harborwalk Plaza moves closer to being developed in Morro Bay
Morro Bay City Council members unanimously approved TCL Family Enterprise’s concept plan for a two-story mixed-use commercial project on the Embarcadero, which includes demolishing the Off the Hook building. The company’s proposal—a 25-foot building called Harborwalk Plaza—came before City Council on Oct. 9. “I’m really very excited about it, and I’m fully supportive of moving forward and approving it tonight,” Councilmember Marlys McPherson said at the meeting. The project is slated to have restaurant space, a yogurt shop, and retail on the first floor with an eight-room hotel on the second. Public amenities would include three public bathrooms, outdoor seating, a remodeled courtyard with an expanded children’s play area, educational and ecological exhibits, and a viewfinder/ telescope. The hotel is conditioned to provide 25 percent of its units at a rate equal to the city’s low-cost overnight accommodations threshold. Harborwalk would replace an existing ground-floor restaurant, retail space, and second floor office. This isn’t the first project proposal for the site. In 2000, the city issued a conditional-use permit for a project known as Smuggler’s Inn, but the permit expired. In 2004, similar permits were granted to convert the existing upstairs office space into a three-unit bed and breakfast project, but it didn’t move forward. In 2007, a similar mixed-use project known as the Outrigger was proposed, but it didn’t go forward either. The Harborwalk Plaza is one of two boutique hotel projects proposed for the
A Paso Robles man named as a person of interest in the 2009 slaying of his father is facing multiple felony charges in connection with a DUI crash unrelated to the case. The SLO County District Attorney’s Office filed charges of driving under the influence against Brian Scott Greer, 51, in connection with the Sept. 30 crash. In addition to the drunk driving charges, Greer faces possible sentencing enhancements for causing great bodily injury to the other vehicle’s occupants, who were both over 70 years old. According to the CHP, Greer was intoxicated and driving his 2002 Ford Excursion westbound on Creston Road when he made an “unsafe turning movement” into the eastbound lane. Greer’s vehicle collided with a 2001 GMC Yukon, causing his Excursion to roll over. The occupants of the Yukon were identified as William Ryan, 78, and Barbara Ryan, 86, according to court records. The Ryans and Greer suffered moderate injuries and were transported to two different hospitals, according to the CHP. Greer pleaded not guilty to the charges at an Oct. 4 arraignment, according to court records. A judge set his bail at $300,000. As of Oct. 10, Greer remained in custody in SLO County Jail. In the months prior to the crash, SLO County Sheriff’s investigators announced that Greer was a person of interest in the 2009 murder of his father, 71 year-old Templeton resident Jerry Greer. Jerry was found shot to death in his home in the 2000 block of Santa Rita Creek Road on March 28, 2009. To date, the case has remained unsolved. In August, investigators served search warrants on Greer’s Paso Robles home and vehicles. They also served a search warrant on another home in Paso Robles where Greer previously lived. As of Oct. 10, Greer had not been arrested or charged in connection with his father’s death. In social media posts, he denied any involvement in his father’s murder and accused the Sheriff’s Office of harassing him. In a Sept. 30 voicemail he left New Times at 11:39 a.m., roughly nine hours before the crash, Greer said aunts and uncles—who were upset because his mother left his father when he was a child—were to blame for the Sheriff’s Office’s focus on him. “They are feeding [the Sheriff’s Office] a bunch of misinformation about me and my mom,” Greer said. “This all stems from the hatred of a dysfunctional family.” —Chris McGuinness

atali Camacho remembers her college experience as a tough but important part of her life. She went to Allan Hancock College for three years and then transferred to UC Davis where she earned her degree in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology. She wasn’t exactly thrilled to be attending community college because her first choice was a university. Family and financial circumstances ultimately put her on the community college path. At first, Camacho was crushed. “But it [community college] opened my eyes, because I realized I was not ready to go forward to a university because I wasn’t taught the skills or know what to look for in a university,” Camacho said. A lot of high school seniors readying themselves for college don’t know the right questions to ask, such as how to utilize financial aid, where to look for scholarships, what will student debt look like after college, or where to find career workshops. These are questions that Camacho has learned the answers to through her experience in higher education, and it’s knowledge that she uses as a regional coordinator for People’s Self-Help Housing through its educational support programs. Camacho teaches her students what questions to ask and what resources to look into. The support programs include College Club, Youth Education and Enhancement Program, Youth Literacy Program, The Working Neighborhoods Initiative, and Adult Literacy and Workforce Readiness Program. Camacho heads the newest program, College Enrollment for Latinas Entering Bright Rewarding Educations (CELEBRE). The program is still in its beginning stages, and it recently received a $25,000 grant from the Women’s Legacy Fund. CELEBRE is an extension of College Club, a program that creates a supportive environment for students who are preparing for or are already in higher education. Full-time advisors work with students to build the skills and knowledge needed for that next step through workshops, assistance with admissions applications, and finding scholarships. CELEBRE does all that but focuses on supporting Latina girls and women. Camacho said this is an important program because these specific females may not otherwise have exposure to the option of continuing their education past high school. “These women in particular grow up in families where the mom is the caretaker and is mostly at home. There isn’t a big example of what options are out there for them,” she said. Men are expected to have these paying jobs—and for women, it’s considered odd for them to choose a career over having a family at 19 or 21 years old. She said in 2011, 17 percent of Latina women aged 25 to 29 had received a bachelor’s degree compared to 43 percent of Caucasian females and 23 percent of AfricanAmerican females of the same age group. “I think because a lot of parents or

immigrant parents like my own parents kind of have the mentality that I have seen from my own parents, which is, they came here and working is the key to surviving and to a better life,” she said. “Tapping into education was never as available to them as they might have liked.” She wants to make it clear that not pursuing higher education is not the family’s fault, because most are working hard to make a living and raise their families. That’s where Camacho comes in to talk about the numerous career options out there for females post college graduation. In the end, Camacho said, the parents she works with only want success for their children, just like her parents did for her. Camacho’s mom received her bachelor’s degree at the age of 40 while she raised three children and worked full time. Her dad recently started attending Allan Hancock College to take English courses. Her parents wanted more for Camacho, and getting her degree was the start of that. Aside from answering questions that Latina students may have about college or career options, Camacho said that many parents come along with questions of their own. They often wonder what they can do to support their child in finding resources for a successful path to a university or how to pay for higher education. What she has found is that many families are fearful of putting their child in debt. Camacho understands that getting a job after high school comes with immediate satisfaction when someone is getting paid every week or every other week. College is an investment that won’t be seen for another four years or more. Student loan debt is something serious to think about, but Camacho tells the parents what her mom told her. “We get into debt with houses and cars, and we lose all that, but education, no one can ever take that away from you,” she said. CELEBRE is currently supporting 14 girls and their parents. Camacho said seeing the trust she’s built with these students and their families is daunting because she feels their lives are in her hands—but she wouldn’t have it any other way. “My hand is here; come on, let’s go through this together,” she said. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com

Hitting the brakes Pismo Beach temporarily bans scooter-sharing services
I
n a Sept. 20 letter “to the community,” Bird founder and CEO Travis VanderZanden laid out the mission of his electric scooter sharing company in optimistic terms. “We created Bird,” he wrote. “And with it, Rideshare 2.0—a cleaner, more convenient, affordable, car-reducing alternative to make cities more enjoyable.” After just one year, his company’s scooters were deployed in more than 100 cities and Bird celebrated its 10 millionth ride. But not everyone agrees that scooter sharing app services like Bird, Lime, and others are making their cities “more enjoyable.” Social media is rife with photos of the electric scooters piling up on sidewalks and street corners in cities like Los Angeles and San Diego, and a quick YouTube search yields multiple videos of riders crashing on their scooters or surviving near-misses with pedestrians and other vehicles. Such concerns were on the minds of the Pismo Beach City Council when it voted unanimously on Oct. 2 to enact an urgency ordinance to ban the operation of shared motorized scooter programs citywide. “Certainly with our downtown
congestion, the thought of a bunch of scooters zipping around on the sidewalks or roadways can be problematic,” Pismo Beach Mayor Ed Waage said. At the meeting, City Manger Jim Lewis indicated that the city would take a “wait and see” approach on the issue. “I think there’s such turmoil and issues in larger cities. … I think we are better off to watch and see how other cities handle it,” Lewis said. “The public policy just hasn’t caught up with the risks and regulations.” Chief among the concerns about scooter sharing programs operating in the city were that they could be a risk to public safety. A report by city staff noted that the scooters can reach speeds of up to 15 mph, and were often used on sidewalks by riders who did not wear helmets or other protective gear. “With this [scooter] program in place, it would make things difficult on numerous levels,” Pismo Beach Police Chief Jake Miller told members of the council. “Needless to say that the rules of the road are constantly violated by these [scooters].” Both Bird and Lime, two of the most popular motorized scooter sharing companies, have safety sections on their websites that direct riders to obey traffic safety and helmet laws. Bird’s website specifically directs users not to ride on the sidewalk unless “local law requires or permits.” Miller said he saw the problems
motorized scooter sharing could bring to a city firsthand on a recent visit to San Diego, including the unsightly piles of discarded scooters strewn on sidewalks and in other public areas. “They’re a mess,” he said. “There were about 30 of them just stacked up in a park.” The city’s staff report noted that “haphazard” placement of the scooters on sidewalks, streets, and public property can block the pedestrian right of way, impede wheelchair access, and become tripping hazards. Other cities and their residents have expressed similar concerns, prompting VanderZanden to pen a “Save Our Sidewalk” (SOS) pledge. The three elements of the pledge include committing to a daily pickup of scooters to avoid cluttering streets and neighborhoods, not increasing the number of scooters in a city unless they are being used at least three times per day on average, and remitting $1 per vehicle, per day to city governments to build more bike lanes and promote safety. VanderZanden signed the pledge and sent it to CEOs from other scooter and bike sharing companies, including Lime, Ofo, and Jump. “As an industry, we need to lead not only on technology, but also on social responsibility and cooperation with city governments,” VanderZanden wrote. The pledge comes after a number of cities have expressed concerns about scooters and moved to regulate or outright ban them. In September, the Los Angles City Council passed the city’s
first set of regulations on electric scooter sharing service companies. Closer to home, the city of SLO raised concerns with Bird after it became aware that the company had scheduled a “rogue launch,” a plan to bring its scooters into SLO without seeking approval from the city. According to KCBX, the company later agreed to push back the launch and discuss the issue with city officials. SLO Interim Deputy City Manager Greg Hermann said the city hadn’t agendized any action or ban on scooters at this time. “City staff is in the process of preparing information for the City Council to be able to discuss next steps, which could include engaging with the community to determine if this is a good fit for San Luis Obispo,” he said. At the Oct. 2 meeting, Pismo Beach officials said that worries about a similar “rogue launch” were part of the reason why the council was considering the urgency ordinance. “Scooter sharing programs have been popping up literally overnight in some of the cities,” Pismo Beach City Attorney Dave Fleishman said. “The modus operandi of some of the large operators is to bring them in in large quantities and just leave them on street corners.” The urgency ordinance will be in effect for the next 45 days, after which the council can vote to extend it for up to an additional 10 months. ∆ Staff Writer Chris McGuinness can be reached at cmcguinness@newtimesslo.com.

IMAGE COURTESY OF JULIUS ACHON
RUN WITH AN OLYMPIAN! Former child soldier, Olympian, and current Ugandan Parliament member Julius Achon will talk about and sign his new book on Oct. 18 and run with the public on Oct. 20.
“I was forced to fight and kill, and when I refused to kill, I was caned—beaten on my butt. I couldn’t sit for six days,” Julius Achon recalled during an email interview from his home in North Uganda, where he’s now a member of the Ugandan Parliament representing Otuke County. He’s also the founder of the Achon Uganda Children’s Fund, which opened a medical center in Northern Uganda in 2012. His path from child soldier, to Olympian, to philanthropist and politician is chronicled in the book The Boy Who Runs—The Odyssey of Julius Achon, by John Bryant. Both Achon and Bryant will appear at the Fremont Theater on Thursday, Oct. 18, for a presentation including a panel discussion, short films, and African drummers and dancers (7 to 9 p.m.; all ages; $20 at runwithjulius.org; $40 VIP tickets also include a 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. reception, a copy of the book, book signing, preferred seating, and appetizers). Achon will also run with the public on Saturday, Oct. 20, at the Rancho El Chorro Conference Center. You can register for free at 10:30 a.m. for a 3-mile cross-country run; however, there are shorter routes for walkers. Following the run, the Nipomo Rotary Club will offer a noon barbecue ($12 for adults and $8 for students). Achon’s story is beyond remarkable. He started running as a 10-year-old, inspired by the great Ugandan 400-meter hurdler John Akii-Bua, who won the 1972
Olympics gold medal. Three months after his kidnapping, Achon escaped, making his way back to his village. A year later, he entered and won his first official race—without shoes! That secured his spot in the district championships in Lira. Unfortunately, he had no transportation to the race, so he ran there, 42 miles in six hours. The next day he won the 800-meter, 1,500-meter, and 3,000-meter. “Yes, I ran 70 kilometers on the same day,” Achon said. “It was Thursday, a day before the event, and I didn’t realize I was tired until I stopped on the way twice to drink water running from the rain on the side of the road.” He went on to win the 1,500-meter in the 1994 World Junior Championships, which earned him a George Mason University scholarship. There he set a new NCAA record in the 800-meter. The 1996 and 2000 Olympics followed, and he had planned to compete in the 2004 Athens Games, but his mother was killed by the Lord’s Resistance Army, ending his running career. “We’ve been committed to helping Julius and his organization,” said Nipomo Rotary Club member Loretta Butts, who helped organize and promote the upcoming local events. “There are a number of things that could have derailed him, which is why his story is so inspirational.” At just 5-foot-6, Achon is somewhat
short compared to other runners. How did he achieve so much? “What makes me so good? It’s the power, determination, faith from God, and not giving up,” he said. That same inner mettle now guides his philanthropic and government work. “Since I joined politics, I have helped my community get electricity,” Achon said. “It has increased my humanitarian work. I take myself as God’s servant. I think people should learn how to do, give back, and never give up.”

Downtown
hub
BY KAREN GARCIA PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM
Atascadero is shifting away from solely being a bedroom community to bring in businesses that reinvigorate its downtown
PAGE OUT OF HISTORY Dan Phillips has been cutting hair in his barber shop since 1961 and has watched Atascadero change through his front windows.
T
wo miles south of downtown Atascadero, there is a building that’s essentially split into three. A barber shop and an insurance office take up the front, with a home connected to the back. Dan Phillips owns both the building and Dan’s Barbershop, which he established in 1961. “When I came here, we were between 5,000 to 6,000 people. Now we’re probably about 30,000,” Phillips said as he reclined in his vintage burgundy and silver Koken barber chair. When he and his wife, Ramona Phillips, moved into the neighborhood in the ’60s, the couple was attracted to the city’s small-town feel. After returning from the Korean War, Phillips swapped his job in the oil fields of Orange County to take a chance on cutting hair in Atascadero. The desire for a lifestyle change, Phillips said, came after the couple began to see how fast-paced Orange County was already becoming. Both Phillips and Ramona came from small-town upbringings, so Atascadero was the perfect place for them to raise their family. “I was almost 29 when I first came here and I didn’t know a soul. My brother came up from Arroyo Grande, and we put this barber shop in together,” he said. There were no sidewalks, no gravel or paved roads, and there weren’t as many businesses surrounding the barber shop. “Haircuts back then were $1.50. I came here the first day, and I did one haircut. I told my wife, ‘I don’t know if we’re going to make it,’ you know,” he said. Phillips is now 85, and he has a sign above a large mirror in front of his barber chairs that advertises haircuts for $10.
He crossed his hands in front of his blue barber smock, recalling the names of the mom-and-pop grocery stores that used to exist in the area. “There was Kelly’s Market across the street, there was Glen Oaks, and Henry’s Market. Then the bigger markets started to come in, you’ve seen it happen in lots of communities to small mom-and-pop stores, and that was the end of them,” he said. He’s seen a lot of changes when it comes to businesses in the city, especially in the community’s downtown area. “[Atascadero] is trying to keep people downtown, but if you want a good pair of shoes or pants, you’ll have to go to Paso Robles or San Luis Obispo,” he said. “I go down there once a year to City Hall to pay my dues for my business license and occasionally to have dinner with my wife.” Historically, Atascadero has been dubbed a bedroom community, meaning most of its residents venture outside of city limits to work, shop, and dine. It’s also a label that suggests the community has little commercial or industrial activity beyond a small amount of local retail businesses. That’s something the city is collaborating with business owners to change. The city is working to upgrade its main road to attract people to businesses, developers continue to invest in the area with new projects, and business owners are banding together to bring in foot traffic.
about the same population as Paso Robles, but Atascadero has a higher income per capita. “We’ve got 30,000 people here within 15 minutes of the beach and right next to wine country. This should be a place that has a healthy balance of the downtown community and residential. That’s why we’re striving so hard to make this piece of it fit because it’s the piece we’re lacking in,” Dunsmore said. A part of this effort is upgrading the downtown area in order to support the success of businesses that have popped up in the last two years—and the ones that have managed to stick around. “Everyone is buying stuff online. People don’t go out anymore to do their shopping, they go out for the experience instead,” he said. This led both city leaders to incorporate placemaking when thinking about the future of the city. Placemaking is the concept of community-based participation to capitalize on a local community’s assets, strengthening the connection between people and the places they share. Last year, the Atascadero City Council approved a $100,000 traffic study to examine the impacts of reducing El Camino Real (from Rosario Avenue to Highway 41) from a four-lane road to two lanes. In August, city leaders presented their findings to the public. “It’s basically designing a street where merchants and shoppers want to be, while at the same time, accommodating vehicle traffic,” Dunsmore said. “Making downtown a place that you can drive to and not have to drive necessarily so quickly through.” The redesign would improve the walkability of the downtown area and increase the number of parking spots. Debar said the project is about supporting businesses as well as building a roadway
that’s useful for more than just moving vehicles. “We want the downtown to be successful, and it doesn’t really help when you have cars that are going quickly past businesses,” DeBar said. The study suggests that reducing the number of lanes to two would add 50 seconds of travel time for drivers going north during its busiest hours. DeBar said that would be around the time when parents drop off and pick up their kids at Atascadero’s middle and high schools. “The council also wanted us to look into other options, such as having drop zones, which kind of makes sense in the world of Uber. They’re kind of looking ahead,” he said. DeBar emphasized that safety for pedestrians, vehicles, and bicyclists is a key factor in the project, but it’s also another effort to bring people to the area and keep their businesses flowing. “You look out there now and you still see a lot of dead spaces and dead zones, but for every one of those spots, there is something planned. So it’s going to look a lot different in two to three years than what it’s looking like today,” Dunsmore said.
Filling the gaps
On one side of El Camino Real, from Entrada to East Mall, The Carlton Hotel, Street Side Ale House, Sherwin-Williams Paints, and Sylvester’s Burgers are some of the businesses that line the road. Across the street, a barren dirt lot and an empty restaurant building have been vacant for nearly a decade. The La Plaza Project approved in April is a mixed-use project that will fill the empty lot space. The proposed three-story building will have commercial space on the ground floor and 42 units of residential space (four condominiums and one-

bedroom apartments) above the business. Aside from bringing in businesses, the hope is that the project will also attract people to the area and create solid downtown traffic. Clint Pearce, president of Madonna Enterprises, is another contractor filling in some of the city’s gaps with a couple of projects in the pipeline—a proposed residential project, a hotel, and the purchase of a building in Colony Square that once temporarily served as City Hall. He said he believes Atascadero has struggled to maintain a core downtown area mainly due to competition. “Over time, businesses have gone in large part to other communities, but people have chosen to live in Atascadero because it’s just a great community,” Pearce said. “Over the last few years, I think there’s been a lot more interest in getting close to your job. It’s about not spending an hour or two hours commuting but more about now living a few minutes from where you can work and spending more time with family.” In 2014, the company bought the old Annex property on El Camino Real near Del Rio Road and proposed a $20 million, 120-room extended stay hotel in 2017. It will be part of the franchise Home2 Suites by Hilton Hotel and Resorts. The concept is to provide a space that is more comfortable than your average hotel with amenities such as a kitchenette and the option of adjoining suits. “We’re thinking that those extended stay rooms with the kitchenettes will be attractive to not only folks who are on assignment working anywhere in the county but especially for families,” Pearce said. In the same vein, he said Madonna Enterprises also has a residential project in the works that will have executive rentals. The rentals are different than vacation homes, as the four-bedroom and two-car garage homes will be maintained similarly to apartments. He uses the example of a doctor who has a short-term assignment at Atascadero State Hospital that would last for a year. “In that short amount of time, where you don’t really want to buy because just the transaction cost will eat up any gain you might make even if the market keeps depreciating. So you get your family with you and don’t have to commute or live away from home,” he said. The same idea is behind the new hub being created out of the former temporary home of City Hall, which Madonna Enterprises now owns. The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce has moved into the building along with a shared working space, BridgeWork, and Wild Fields Brewhouse is coming in 2019. BridgeWork opens the doors for another type of working community to come into the city. With its open layout, Pearce said it offers a different type of office space for startups or freelancers. All of these projects were created with the idea of investing in a community that has a lot going for it Pearce said. “We’re one small piece of a much larger puzzle. We’re all trying to build a better community up there,” he said.
Businesses supporting businesses
The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce moved into the former City Hall building in March. Chamber CEO and President Derek Kirk joined the organization at the beginning of the year. He quickly jumped in the conversation with the city about starting a co-working space. BridgeWork’s layout consists of a couple of private offices, but for the most part it’s an open floor space with tables and chairs. Kirk told New Times that there are tech company employees who work remotely
from the space, along with graphic designers and realtors. “It’s people that live in our community and want a community of people to be held accountable, and in some circumstances, people to talk to,” Kirk said. It’s exciting to see people in a room who are sharing ideas and concepts, Kirk said. In order to be a part of the open space, the base membership fee is $175 a month. It’s also a place where the Chamber can learn and collaborate with others on improving the organization and how it empowers its members. That was the focus of a recent change in the Chamber’s mission. “There are 586 of your peers in businesses around the community that are doing everything that they can to support you in the hopes that you will support them as well,” he said. From September 2016 to now, 127 businesses have joined the Chamber of Commerce. The goal of the Chamber, Kirk said, is to work closely with businesses and provide them with the tools to be successful, ultimately spilling that success into the community. Kirk is finding that more and more businesses are planning to join the Chamber because they are investing in an organization that is investing in them and their neighbors. The Chamber is currently working on developing business plans to help ensure that businesses stick around until this time next year and farther in the future. While the Chamber backs its members, some business owners and managers have taken supporting one another into their own hands. Deana Alexander has been the general manager of The Carlton Hotel in Atascadero for about 10 years. “We have increased our occupancy by leaps and bounds in those 10 years, and part of that reason is Atascadero is becoming a destination rather than just an overflow from Paso and San Luis Obispo,” Alexander said. She’s part of a committee that has created events to generate foot traffic along Traffic Way. The group that initially started with five members was spearheaded by David Wilson, the owner of Grape Encounters. Although the group doesn’t have an official name yet, it already created a successful annual event. Taco Day on Traffic Way started in 2014. Last year, the event took place between El Camino Real and Lewis Avenue. For $15, taco enthusiasts could visit six different taco stands from local chefs. The booths were set up in such a way that people could weave in and out of businesses on the street. From there, Alexander and other businesses continued to meet and discuss ways to bring people to the area. The committee discovered that there was a business improvement district that had formed in 1986 but eventually stopped in 2009. A business improvement district is a defined area where businesses are required to pay an additional tax in order to fund projects within the district’s boundaries. Alexander said the committee is working to bring the district back to Atascadero in an effort to support local businesses. “I would hope with regard to our downtown group that is organizing, that people understand we’re all passionate about the downtown and we’re here to bring vitality to the downtown,” she said. From his red barber chair, Phillips looked out the window facing the street. He said he’s seen a lot of change in the 57 years he’s been in business. “I think most people are trying to do the right thing here, and that’s personally how I feel about it,” he said. “I mean we’re not perfect, but it’s a nice community to live in.” ∆
NARROWING PATHS In order to bring more foot traffic to downtown, city leaders are looking to reduce El Camino Real’s four-lane road down to two.
INVESTING IN POTENTIAL The La Plaza, a three-story mixeduse project is just one of the various investments aimed at revitalizing vacant spots in the city.
BUSINESS COMMUNITY The Carlton’s general manager, Deana Alexander, is one of a few business leaders on Traffic Way organizing a committee with the goal of generating more foot traffic on their end of downtown.
ENTERTAINMENT Historically, Atascadero has been a place where people lay their heads to rest, but the city wants to break with tradition and make it a destination where people shop and dine.

Gurnee on city growth I am neither pro-developer nor anti-growth
I
n running for mayor, it’s fascinating to see what positions have been falsely attributed to me on my stance on growth. On one hand, I’ve often been called a “developer” when the only thing I’ve ever “developed” is my own home in the early 1980s. On the other, I’ve been called “no growth” by many in the development industry. Both are false narratives, and I’m here to set the record straight. I’m for responsible and sensible growth in keeping with our small-town character and the abilities of our resources and infrastructure needed to sustain it. I’m against growth that would obliterate that character, like 75-foot-tall buildings in our downtown or those projects that exploit our community such as those occurring on Foothill Boulevard. To better illustrate my position on growth and development, I offer the following: 1. The biggest issue we face is the state’s recent intrusion into local control. It’s a dangerous and autocratic move against our community and all cities and towns in California. It essentially mandates our city to approve projects involving a tiny fraction of affordable housing, regardless of the consequences for our resources, infrastructure, or the livability of our neighborhoods. Rather than meekly surrendering to this new law as our current council has done, we need to join in with other cities to fight back against these draconian measures and take back our rights to self-determination through a statewide initiative.
HODIN
2. Because of these state laws, the 75-foottall buildings our council voted to approve will become the norm rather than the exception. Such buildings would dwarf not only our downtown, but the two more than 50-foot-tall hotel buildings being developed in our downtown by more than 20 feet! And this in a town where our streets and infrastructure were developed for what is essentially a two- to three-story downtown. Who will be responsible for rebuilding that infrastructure or paying for the additional firefighting equipment and personnel needed to support such tall buildings? 3. An example of what I support in downtown development that would be in character with our community is the Bank of America building under construction at the corner of Higuera and Santa Rosa. It fits. It’s a handsome brick building consistent with the ambiance and scale of our downtown, and the project being developed next to it will only further complement the attributes of the downtown San Luis Obispo we know and love. 4. The large development projects such as those approved by this and previous City Councils—San Luis Ranch, Avila Ranch, and the Righetti project—are the biggest component of the approximately 2,000 houses that are in the pipeline waiting to be built. The horse is out of the barn on these projects. There is no way to un-ring that bell, even if we wanted to. As mayor, I will use my extensive experience as a

planner and urban designer to make sure these projects happen the best way that they can. 5. As for housing that is attainable to workers employed within the city of San Luis Obispo, some of that housing will be contained within some of these larger projects. Whether such housing will be rentals or for purchase, we need to ensure that that this source of “workforce housing” remains accessible and affordable to local workers in our city, both now and well into the future. 6. The use of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), tiny homes, and tiny homes on wheels has recently been on the minds of our community. But rather than have them proliferate all over our community without vision or guidance, we need to consider using them in the right places and under the right circumstances: • ADUs should only be allowed on owner-occupied properties subject to the size and other prescriptions of our codes. • Tiny homes would best be clustered in appropriate locations with adequate support facilities needed to serve them. But they should not be considered as an answer to our housing affordability crisis. One on South Street just went up on Craigslist for $1,900 permonth! However, tiny homes might be a good solution in addressing our homeless needs by placing them in an appropriate location where they can have access to the services they need. • Tiny homes on wheels are another thing entirely. They should not be allowed in our established residential
neighborhoods, nor should they be allowed to be jerry-built without regard to building codes or energy conservation. If they can address these concerns, perhaps some of our larger employers could allow them in their parking lots in appropriate locations so those who reside in them wouldn’t have to commute to work. 7. As for the elephant in the room, we need to develop a much more constructive working relationship with Cal Poly, the biggest generator of housing demand in our community. As mayor, I would like to jointly sponsor a funded design competition with Cal Poly to design a new village on the northwestern quadrant of campus away from Highway 1 and the agricultural operations active on campus, provided Cal Poly can find the water supplies needed to sustain such a village. Should Cal Poly eventually require second- and thirdyear students to reside on campus as a condition to registering for classes, think about the amount of our existing housing stock that could be freed up for working people and the middle class. But if such an idea is to be workable, the design of that new village would have to be a place where students and faculty would want to live with a broad range of housing types with recreation and neighborhood support amenities. Now does this sound like I’m “no growth”? Or like I’m a “deep pocket developer”? I am neither! But I do have the experience, knowledge, vision, and heart to help our city grow the best way it can. ∆ T. Keith Gurnee is running for San Luis Obispo city mayor.

Ostrander on human trafficking

Letters
VOTE AT WWW.NEWTIMESSLO.COM
Julia Bayless defends the issue of human trafficking in a letter to the editor (“Human trafficking is absolutely an issue,” Oct. 4) and suggests that my position was that it “affects too small of a portion of the population to be a problem worth addressing.” Unfortunately, Ms. Bayless has mischaracterized what was said and provided no context. Of course human trafficking is an important issue. So are child molestation, elder abuse, and drunk driving. All four of the aforementioned are grave problems and society has declared them so, established laws against them, and hands out stiff penalties to those who disobey. The context is that my opponent has tried to frame human trafficking as the “moral issue of our time.” But tell me, who is for it? No one that I’ve ever met. Should we work on ways to continue to combat these problems? Absolutely. Do I believe it is the “moral issue of our time” and the most important issue facing our district? No, I don’t. I believe my opponent has seized upon this issue exactly because it is not controversial at all. I believe that he believes that this stance makes him seem compassionate while distracting constituents from the fact the he has received the majority of his contributions from corporations and PACs and then voted against issues that really address the present needs of vast sections of our district. Let’s use actual data: Human trafficking affects about two-hundredths of 1 percent of our population. Compare
45% No. They are a danger and will clutter up our sidewalks. 29% Yes! We need clean, cheap transportation and fewer cars on the road. 13% Yes, but only if the companies get permission from the city. 13% I don’t have an opinion either way. 102 votes
that to the approximately 32,000 people in our district and more than 3 million people statewide who have no health insurance; that the average student is graduating with $35,000 of debt; that corporate money in politics is negatively affecting every person in the state; that re-injecting polluted water near our fragile groundwater supplies to bring up more dirty crude oil is both dangerous in the short and long term for every person on the planet; 50 percent of California roads, which every one of us uses, are rated as being in poor condition causing accidents and $844 a year in car repair on average; and affordable housing is completely out of reach for 50 percent of our community. As candidates, we are supposed to project our vision for how we intend to solve problems and improve the lives of our constituents. Is human trafficking
important? Of course. And it has been an issue for millennia. Are we undecided about this issue? No. Does it fall anywhere in the top five of the most important issues facing our district and state today? Not even close in my opinion. Would I vote to improve a law that would make real change in this area? Of course. I believe my opponent has taken up this issue because, as a non-controversial issue, it distracts from the many votes that he has made that run counter to the well-being of every voter in the district. I hope this clarifies my position. Choose well. Bill Ostrander 35th District Assembly candidate SLO
Cambria’s water facility will have limited output
Wouldn’t a regional effort toward more water availability make more sense than one small area trying to develop its own new water source, both from financial and physical points of view? For example San Diego County is building a $1 billion desalination facility in Carlsbad. The water will be available to the whole county. The city of Santa Barbara built a $100 million desal plant to deal with shortages created by climate change droughts. But, of course, with a much larger population and much larger tax base than Cambria. The sustainable water facility can only produce a limited amount of water for
the community of Cambria. How much water can be produced through recapture/ recycling remains to be seen. The ultimate cost to Cambria and the ability to get permits through both San Luis Obispo County and California Coastal Commission scrutiny remains to be seen. In any case, we will see the ultimate outcome sometime in the future as Cambria continues to develop its new facility and seeks approval. At this point, we can only hope that the increased cost to current users will be affordable. I discussed this letter with Donn Howell and he very much agrees with this point of view, and for that reason I am voting for Howell to sit on the Cambria Community Services District board. Lee Bailey Cambria
We need SLO County to become a beacon of opportunity
As a small-business owner, I have experienced firsthand how difficult it is to run a business on the Central Coast. But the cost of running a business here is only part of the problem. The other problem is how incredibly expensive it is to live on the Central Coast, where few good-paying jobs exist. Middle-class families are leaving San Luis Obispo County at one of the highest rates in the country. The high cost of living, lack of affordable housing, and few good-paying jobs LETTERS continued page 16

Opinion
Rhetoric&Reason
BY AL FONZI
Lynch mob or rule of law? W hen Tomas De Torquemade initiated the Spanish Inquisition, he built the foundation for nearly three centuries of terror throughout Europe. Religious heretics (anyone accused of not being politically correct) suffered horrendous persecution, torture, and barbaric execution. The Inquisition rapidly expanded in scope to anyone accused of engaging in even the slightest deviation from established religious orthodoxy. The first rule of the Inquisition was the accused was guilty until proven innocent. An accusation alone resulted in imprisonment with no contact with the outside world. The accused was denied information about the name or names of his/her accuser or any documents related to the case. Witnesses for the defense were limited to only orthodox Catholics; relatives of the accused out to the fourth generation were prohibited from testifying on their behalf. Even when testimony was sufficient to warrant exoneration, the accused would still be tortured to extract a confession. Those found guilty (or confessing guilt) were burned at the stake. On the morning of the execution, the condemned would be “prepared” for the stake, first by having their tongue forcibly encased in a metal clamp that was screwed down tight and then having the tip of their tongue burned until it sufficiently swelled to prevent the condemned from making any last statement to the mob gathered to watch their torment. Totalitarian societies have used such
techniques to seize and hold power for centuries and continue to do so today. The former Soviet Union used show trials and arbitrary executions as a matter of course against “enemies of the state” murdering millions of people. China still employs state terror, imprisoning millions for political offenses, as does North Korea, Cuba, and Iran to name only a few. Recent conflicts, such as the Bosnian civil war’s death camps and bullet-riddled execution walls testify to the brutality humanity is capable of inflicting on each other. Much of European/Western history over the last 500 years is a story of struggle against injustice and the establishment of individual rights under the rule of law. The most important of those rights is the presumption of innocence and the requirement for the accuser to prove their case, not the burden of the accused to prove their innocence. Fairness in judgement, allowing the accused access to all evidence used against them and the right to make a vigorous defense are the very foundations upon which the American Republic was established. The burden to prove guilt is always upon the accuser who must not only reach but surpass the legal bar of “proven beyond a reasonable doubt.” This applies to all situations, not simply courts of law but also in administrative and civil actions, lest the rule of public passion via the “mob” destroy an innocent person. Currently, the persecution of now Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his Senate confirmation hearings more closely represented the long-discredited
LETTERS from page 14
As a former city attorney, I have observed the cautious approach our past councils have taken in structuring our general plan to ensure the siting of proper development, encouraging development in appropriate areas, and not enacting restrictive ordinances that would unduly and improperly impede the rights of landowners to develop and manage their commercial properties. The grandiosity and absurdity of this proposal should not merit comment, but for the fact that it is proposed by a candidate for City Council. In contrast, the other two candidates, Mark Dariz, an architect, and Heather Newsome, an accountant, appear to understand the council position to which they seek to be elected. Their reasoned and measured positions reflect years of service to our community and city commissions, and reflect well on their good character and demeanor. Let us avoid the unwise, and political theater atmosphere that the other candidate appears to want bring to our City Council chambers. Robert M. “Grigger” Jones Atascadero
make it hard for families to stay. Major employers like Weatherby, Really Right Stuff, and Lockheed Martin are moving out of the county because it is too expensive to operate here. We cannot afford to force more companies out of business—and lose more good-paying jobs. As a parent, I want my kids to want to come home after college. As a business owner, I need my customers to stay here. The county needs to retain and increase good-paying jobs so that the beautiful place we live, once again, becomes a place of opportunities and hope. Jason Anderson Atascadero
A vacancy tax would be ridiculous
Uh … Atascadero, we have a problem. While great progress has been made in the past years, in bringing in new businesses, stores, offices, restaurants, and hotels to Atascadero, and with our economic future looking bright, we have a candidate for our City Council election who proposes a change in how property owners of vacant land and commercial establishments will manage their properties. That is the creation of a “vacancy tax.” This punitive tax, contrary to sound and rational economic and legal principles, will punish a landowner for not developing or ensuring occupancy of his or her commercial property, by imposing a tax on its vacancy.

proceedings of the Inquisition than established rule of law, evidence and presumption of innocence that elevated Western jurisprudence above all others. Americans today are divided along ideological lines more than any other time since the Civil War. At risk is the type of nation we’re becoming. Will we destroy our heritage on the altar of political expediency to please the mob or will we defend our heritage of fairness and equal justice under the law? This is not about whether or not women should be believed when they report a sexual assault; their claims must be seriously investigated by qualified investigators who are charged with conducting professional, responsible investigations. Nobody should be tried by the press in the court of public opinion. Rather, the facts should drive the course of the investigation, not politics. This didn’t happen in the Kavanaugh hearings, which were a national disgrace. In the Kavanaugh hearings, we’re told we must believe Dr. Ford’s accusations against Judge Kavanaugh; we mustn’t question her version of events, nor was it necessary for her recounting of events to be consistent and corroborated. If she made the accusation, according to the extreme left of American politics, Kavanaugh, being white, male and from an affluent background, must be considered guilty. To question Ford’s account was to be misogynistic and an apologist for rape. Dr. Ford’s account was based upon a reconstructed or “recovered memory,”
built during her sessions with a psychotherapist. Field experts on witness testimony and especially “recovered memories” will tell you that memories are fungible things, easily influenced by outside factors, are often unreliable and must be corroborated by forensic evidence or other witnesses. None of this occurred nor was any evidence provided by the very inconsistent testimony of Dr. Ford. All of the “evidence” Ford provided actually supported Judge Kavanaugh’s forceful denial of her account and his insistence of innocence of her charges. Yet to the “mob,” none of this mattered. Kavanaugh represented a threat to the agenda of the extreme left, therefore whatever it took to destroy Kavanaugh was acceptable, even outright lies, intimidation of public officials, and threats of violence. Sen. Susan Collins said it best during her speech last Saturday, “We must always remember that when passions are most influential that fairness is most in jeopardy.” Americans today must decide what kind of country we’re becoming, one where the accused are innocent until proven guilty, following rules of law and evidence, or a return to rule of the lynch mob where passion buries justice under an avalanche of hate. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35-year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder
In this corner …

n less than a month, SLO Town residents will have to decide who should be the Grand Poobah of the happiest/saddest (depends on your point of view, dig?) burg in the land. In the blue trunks with the red rose is current Mayor Heidi Harmon, who opponents call self-aggrandizing, pushy, and more interested in her hyper-progressive agenda than in residents’ wishes. In the rednow-dyed-blue trunks with the pink pate is T. Keith Gurnee, who opponents label a hypocritical NIMBY-centric elitist who pretends to be for the common people but is really in developers’ pockets. Heck, they both seem like super attractive candidates! How to decide between these lesser of two evils? Well, you could just vote with your tribe. Liberals will line up behind Harmon and her feminist, environmentalist, proaffordable housing, bike lanes everywhere, zero-emissions city platform. But what about conservatives? They’ve got to be very confused right now. Sure, they know they’re against Harmon and her snowflake-libtard-commie bullshit, but is Gurnee their man? Well, good news liberal-hating conservative patriots! Gurnee’s quasiliberal platform is built on a house of cards! He’s been a registered Republican for years and years. He only re-registered as a Democrat before entering the mayor’s race. He’s a LINO—see?—a Liberal In Name Only, so you’re safe!
Let me explain. His liberal-sounding motto is “For our neighborhoods,” though he seems to operate under this motto instead: “For my neighborhood—yours can fend for itself, suckers!” For instance, Santa Margarita residents are vehemently opposed to the proposed Las Pilitas Quarry, which Gurnee has been shilling for. He’s all for protecting his Anholm neighborhood from expanded bike lanes, but he’s called Santa Margarita residents NIMBYs for rejecting the quarry. Uh oh! Gurnee has called NIMBY the “new N-word” (and then took it back) when it was directed at him, but apparently it’s fine to label others NIMBYs. Gurnee’s a “professional planner and urban designer,” according to his website. Doesn’t that sound like the kind of guy who pals around with developers? About the Women’s March, he wrote online that they’re “an ideological dictatorship determined to force its will upon the rest of us.” How dare Women’s Marchers demand we respect women, minorities, LGBTQplus, and other marginalized people! The nerve! The unmitigated gall! Sputter! Of course, in a bid to win middleof-the-road voters, he tries to make himself sound like a centrist candidate who cares about people, open space, and our small-town atmosphere, but his endorsers are largely conservatives (former Assemblyman Katcho

Sounds to me like Natural Healing Center and its owners were trying really hard to be good neighbors, offering to buy out Schultz’s lease and help her move. While it’s not in Schultz’s backyard, per se—it’s across the parking lot—it still smells like rank NIMBYism overpowering the dank smell of recreational marijuana. Stay high, Grover Beach! Hey Paso Robles! What in the actual hell? So I was visiting a friend the other day, playing with her hamster, and I notice at the bottom of the cage a SLO Tribune editorial that claimed Paso hasn’t elected a woman to its City Council since 1984—34 years ago! Are you kidding me? The editorial went on to claim (and I assume correctly since the Trib does good local reporting even if their editorials do end up lining Pammy-hamster’s see-through prison) that only three women in the history of Paso Robles have served on the City Council! A candidate named Maria Elena Garcia—a woman and Latina!—is currently running, and the Trib’s commentary said it’s been 20 years since a Latino has run, even though Latinos comprise 30 percent of the city’s residents. Paso residents, here’s your chance to acknowledge that half your residents are female, nearly a third are Hispanic, and both groups deserve representation in city government. Or you could vote for more white men, who sadly are under attack. Kavanope! Ha-ha-ha! ∆

Achadjian, former Supervisor Jerry Lenthall, former Mayor and County Supervisor Peg Pinard) or NIMBY-centric groups (Preserve the SLO Life, Save Our Downtown, SLO Neighbors United). See, conservatives! He’s one of you! Harmon, on the other hand, is endorsed by the SLO County Democratic Party, the SLO Progressives, Planned Parenthood, the Teamsters Local 986, and wellknown sitting liberal politicians such as State Sen. Bill Monning, SLO County Supervisors Bruce Gibson and Adam Hill, and City Councilmembers Andy Pease and Aaron Gomez. So, don’t be fooled, centrist voters! It’s not a choice between two Democrats. Let’s face it, trying to pick who’s in the right can sure be difficult, so hats off to SLO County Superior Court Judge Linda Hurst, who saw through Coastal Dance and Music Academy owner Kathleen Schultz and her suit against Grover Beach marijuana dispensary Natural Healing Center. On Oct. 2, the judge denied an injunction to prevent the dispensary from operating. Schultz argued that the pot shop was ruining her business, but she provided no evidence and didn’t bother to sue until six months after Natural Healing Center applied for its operating license and had already sunk $1.5 million into its business. Even more ridiculous, she rejected an offer from the dispensary to help Schultz move her business to another location.

Quiet power Gregory Alan Isakov brings his intimate songs to the Fremont Theater
S
inger-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov has one of those voices that is immediately arresting—it can be high and lilting or intimate and inviting. Vic Chesnutt comes to mind, though Isakov lists Leonard Cohen, Kelly Joe Phelps, and Bruce Springsteen as influences. This Saturday, Oct.13, he plays a Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents show at the Fremont Theater (9 p.m.; all ages; $28 to $40 at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com), with Wild Reeds opening. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, he and his family immigrated to Philadelphia when he was 7 years old. His debut, Rust Colored Stones, was self-released in 2003, followed by Songs for October (2005), The Empty Northern Hemisphere (2007), and The Weatherman (2013). The album to buy, however, is Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony, which collected 11 earlier songs—it’s magic! He’s currently touring in support of Evening Machines, another great collection of introspective indie folk tunes. Currently residing in Boulder, Colorado, he keeps busy when he’s not writing or touring as “a full-time farmer who sells vegetable seeds and grows various market crops on his 3-acre farm,” according to his press materials. “I switch gears a lot,” he said. “I wake up really early in the growing season, and

then in the winters, I’m up all night. I’m constantly moving back and forth.” His recording studio is in a barn on his farm where his musical friends store their gear and play together often. “Sometimes I couldn’t sleep, so I’d walk into the studio and work really hard into the night,” he said. “A lot of times I would find myself in the light of all these VU meters and the tape machine glow, so that’s where the title came from. I recorded mostly at night, when I wasn’t working in the gardens. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, morning or afternoon, this music always feels like evening to me.” The instrumentation on the new album is sparse, which makes the songs seem even more intimate, though you can also hear past the hushed acoustic guitar and piano “distant electric guitars, keyboards, pedal steel, saw, percussion, strings, banjo, and some electronic drums.” Andrew Berlin (Descendents, Rise Against) produced: “Andrew and I took many different approaches making this record—we used electronic instruments and more ambient sounds, and incorporated heavier elements,” Isakov said. At the heart of it all are his words and melodies, indelibly tender and thoughtful. “Writing songs is this delicate balance,” he said. “My process has never been to start out saying, ‘I want to write a song about this. This is an important issue—or this is an important emotion that I’m going through—and I need to write a song about it.’ That has never happened;

Mason Jennings plays SLO Brew’s downtown location this Wednesday, Oct. 17 (10 p.m.; 18-and-older; $20 presale at Boo Boo’s and slobrew.com). He recalled his early foray into songwriting in press materials: “I was living out at a farm for a month and walking through some old woods on the property every day. There was a river. And each day an owl would come find me, and then perch above me, day or night. I saw lots of snakes. Songs just came to me there. They were coming in so fast they just about took my head off. It was unlike anything I’ve experienced before.” STARKEY continued page 35

Arts Artifacts
Recipient of Performing Arts Wish announced
The Foundation for the Performing Arts Center announced Cooper Hawes, a local student and aspiring musician, as the recipient of the 2018 Performing Arts Wish. Hawes was gifted with a vintage Ernie Ball electric guitar along with complimentary guitar lessons for one year. Cooper, 11, currently attends Teach Elementary School in SLO and became interested in music after his father, Guy Hawes, passed away in June. He was inspired to start taking guitar lessons in order to share in something his father once loved, Lisa Hawes, Cooper’s mother, said in a press release. “At his father’s memorial, Cooper was especially moved by the musical tributes,” Lisa said. “Guy’s friends played guitar in honor of his father, and Cooper became determined to carry on this part of his dad.” “Our committee was deeply touched when Cooper’s mom shared how music had become an important part of his healing and so helpful in communicating his loss,” Leann Standish, executive director of the Foundation, said in the press release. “All of us at the Foundation believe that arts have a transformative and therapeutic power. We were thrilled to be able to grant his wish.”

Her long journey ‘Muthaland,’ Minita Gandhi’s powerful story of survival and identity, comes to PCPA
M
inita Gandhi was always drawn to acting, even as a young girl. But she never thought she would one day be on the stage, telling her own story to a room full of strangers. “I didn’t grow up with the arts as a possible career choice,” she said. “It wasn’t until later in life that I realized I really loved stories and all aspects of storytelling.” The actress, writer, and director is part of the Pacific Conservatory Theatre’s (PCPA) current season, with her one-woman show Muthaland, a personal story based on Gandhi’s life and family, which tackles long-kept family secrets and an assault that had a farreaching impact on the author. “Muthaland came out of a variety of things, mostly my trip to India,” Gandhi said. “I think I just had a story to write and it just came out of me. I never knew I was going to be a playwright until that happened. It’s been a magical experience.” The performance—which runs at the Severson Theatre in rotating repertory along with An Illiad through Oct. 21—represents a coming home of sorts for the writer. Gandhi was a student at PCPA’s conservatory program from 2004 through 2006. From there, she did an internship with the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre and then moved to Chicago, where she studied and worked for 12 years.

F
or as long as she can remember, Erin Gafill has gone to the regionally renowned hot springs at Esalen in Big Sur, long before they were part of an upscale Zen retreat center. As a child growing up there in the late 1960s, it was her family’s only source of hot water in the rural coastal area for a time. Her mother would give Gafill and her siblings a good scrub and do the laundry in the hot waters at Esalen. While Gafill left Big Sur for periods here and there, she’s always returned to the place she calls home, to the place that

acts as her muse for her work as an artist. “I am always inspired by its majesty, power, and soul,” Gafill, who is currently teaching in Italy, said via email. “I always feel like if I could just try one more time, I might finally capture a fraction of its deep and wild beauty.” Gafill’s paintings are on display at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as part of The Coastal Awakening: An Esalen Perspective show. The exhibit features 10 artists who either taught at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur or were connected in other ways. As quaint as Gafill’s upbringing may sound, her family is akin to Big Sur royalty, of sorts. Her grandparents, Lolly and Bill Fasset, opened the iconic Nepenthe Restaurant (which her family still owns and runs to this day), famous for its Ambrosia Burger. Some of Gafill’s favorite memories include folks coming to her grandmother’s living room at Nepenthe, where everyone would go for a little tea and wisdom. Gafill remembers that Lolly was one of the great “grand dames” of Big Sur. There at Nepenthe, Gafill met Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor when the 1965 film The Sandpiper was being filmed at Nepenthe. “He gave me a kiss and scared the hell out of me and she wiped away my tears,”

BREATHTAKING The view from Nepenthe in Big Sur is a favorite spot for artist Erin Gafill to capture in pieces like Morning at Nepenthe.

Gafill said. “Later, I remember the writer Henry Miller playing pingpong with my grandfather in the restaurant during the slow times.” Star-studded visits aside, idleness wasn’t encouraged in Gafill’s family home. Everyone constantly made something out of nothing. Gafill remembers being raised to make her own clothes and toys, beating tin can lids with a hammer to make Christmas tree ornaments, and melting old candles down to dip new ones.
It inspired Gafill’s own journey to become an artist, specializing in painting atmospheric and expressive Big Sur landscapes in oils. Today her paintings are collected internationally and she teaches art workshops in Mexico, on tour in Italy, and, of course, at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur. “Creativity was paramount,” Gafill said of her childhood. “Make art and find your voice and let your inner artist out. I hope my paintings invite people to see the place beyond the place. To see the soul of a place.” When Gafill paints, she works directly from observation and spending time in nature. Then she takes part of each year to go big and work from memory. “What matters stays, what doesn’t falls away. Like sifting for gold,” Gafill said. “Nature inspires me. In nature, everything we need to know is unfolding around us, teaching us, if we’d only take time to look and listen.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley wishes she was in Big Sur right now.

An Oscar-winner is born A STAR IS BORN
C
o-writer, director, and co-star Bradley Cooper helms this remake of A Star Is Born (first released in 1937, and later remade in 1954 and 1976). In this iteration, Cooper stars as Jackson Maine, a famous musician whose star is waning as he discovers talented but insecure singer Ally (Lady Gaga). As Jack battles alcoholism and his own decline, he helps Ally find the strength to let her talent shine. (135 min.) Glen You’d think on the fourth retelling, things would be getting stale, but Bradley Cooper takes a sweeping look at the rise and fall of stardom, the shallowness of the entertainment industry, creativity, substance abuse, family dynamics, and romance. It’s a stunning achievement, and I was most surprised by Lady Gaga, whose acting chops were impressive. I’ve never been a big fan of her music, but her voice is undeniably stunning. Almost every time she sang, the tears welled up. To see the fashion icon with her natural hair color and little to no makeup made her more vulnerable and sympathetic. This film is certainly Bradley Cooper’s baby, and for a directorial debut, it’s beyond incredible. Perhaps he’s been in front of the camera for so long that he simply understands what’s needed behind it. It’s been driven into Ally that
ESTRANGEMENT Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) squares off against his brother and manager, Bobby (Sam Elliott, right), as Ally (Lady Gaga) looks on.
At the
despite her talent, she doesn’t have the looks for stardom. There’s an amazing scene where she overhears her father (a terrific Andrew Dice Clay) explaining to his friends that her looks prevent her from success. When Jack wanders into a bar after a gig looking for a much-needed drink, he happens upon Ally singing “La Vie En Rose” and is immediately smitten by her looks and talent. Later that night, she surprises him by making up a song about him on the spot. Jack gives her the confidence to believe in herself, to feel love, to feel good enough. That’s what every good romantic relationship should do, and seeing that message so deftly brought to the big screen is in part why I love this film. It’s got enough heart to make the heartbreak feel real. Anna This is a fantastic directorial debut for Cooper. I only have high hopes for what he brings to the big screen in the future. I’m in love with Lady Gaga’s voice. Though her music in general is more poppy than I usually go for, that woman can sing. A Star Is Born is a great showcase for a softer side to her music, the songwriter in her really shines through in the emotionally complex lyrics, and her voice is soulfully tear jerking. Cooper also shines as Jackson Maine, a good-looking, talented musician who draws crowds that can fill stadiums. He comes off as both roguishly handsome cowboy and lost-puppy drunkard, a sweet but haunted man racing life to the bottom of the bottle. He’s the guy everyone falls in love with in one way or another—the Monet that from a distance is heartbreakingly beautiful but up close is just a mess. Ally is beautiful, but not by normal Hollywood standards, and she’s resigned to the fact that she’ll never be a star outside of her small world. Jackson’s sudden presence in her life is a freight train that sweeps her up and out and straight into the stars. Yet it seems the moments where they can stare at each other eye to eye are brief; her climb meets his fall, and in the middle is

their love and a whole lot of grief along the way. Imperfect, silly, beautiful, and heartbreaking all at the same time, these two are meant for each other in the saddest ways. Glen The film is definitely a tragedy, but it’s also heartbreakingly beautiful. Sam Elliott stars as Jackson’s brother and manager, Bobby, who’s lived in Jackson’s shadow and does his best to staunch Jackson’s self-inflicted wounds. Their relationship is tenuous at best. In addition to his substance abuse, Jack’s hearing is going, and he’s not interested in following his doctor’s orders to wear earpieces when performing for fear it will disconnect him from his audience. He doesn’t seem to realize his drug use already does that. His most important lesson to Ally is to be authentic, so when he sees her manager Rez (Rafi Gavron) changing her appearance, adding dancers and choreography to her show, he’s artistically offended, though Ally perceives it as jealousy. They’re disconnecting just when they need each other most. Like all substance abusers, Jack’s behavior is unforgivable—he says terrible things to Ally and embarrasses her with his loutish actions. Their love, however, is real, and she struggles between being supportive and enabling. There’s so much going on in this film, and the fact that Cooper is able to weave all of these emotionally potent threads into such a heartrendingly

beautiful tapestry is a triumph. I predict some Oscar nods for this one. See it in the theater; bring your own tissues—this one’s a tearjerker. Anna There’s definitely been talk of at least Gaga getting a nomination. For me, Cooper also deserves a nod both for his performance and direction. I had heard that this one was going to make me cry, and even going into it with that knowledge, I couldn’t stop a serious mascara tragedy from happening. Thank God that theater was dark enough to hide my snot bubbles and furious eye swipes. As wonderful as watching a love story can be, watching the vulnerability and messiness of well-nuanced characters is even more satisfying. The dread of knowing these lovers are dancing around tragedy but still almost reluctantly falling for them and into their world is totally satisfying, despite the fact it also made me want to curl up in a bundle and wait for the world to fall away. The pairing of Cooper and Gaga was meant to be. These two lift hearts just as well as they break them, and the raw talent behind the machine pushes out a product so full of love and intent that it’s written on their faces. This is one I’ll watch time and time again. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna. Comment at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Stream it Where’s it showing? Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Karey Kirkpatrick (Over the Hedge) and Jason Reisig co-direct this animated adventure comedy about Migo (voiced by Channing Tatum), a Yeti who believes the mythical creatures known as “humans” really do exist. When he encounters a human named Percy Patterson (voiced by James Corden), the legend becomes real. I probably shouldn’t review animated films. Most of them seem silly to me, and Smallfoot
is no different. Sure, the premise is ‘cute,’ but there’s not much substance here, and what is here seems like a strange message for its targeted PG audience. The film opens with a sweeping musical number about the happy Yeti village. Migo loves his ice- and rock-filled paradise, and he’s training to replace his father, Dorgle (Danny DeVito), as the village gong ringer, a venerated position since the “Light Snail” (aka the Sun) won’t cross the sky if the gong doesn’t ring. Every morning, Dorgle is launched via a giant slingshot headfirst into the metal gong, then the Light Snail illuminates the Yeti world. It’s one of dozens of primitive myths and laws that Yetis must follow. The maker of the laws is the Stonekeeper (Common), the Yeti leader who settles all disputes by conferring with the stones, upon which hieroglyphs are written. They’re the evidence that the Yeti village floats on clouds and that below them is nothingness. The stones also state that Smallfoot doesn’t exist, so when Migo overshoots the gong on a practice try and far from the village sees a plane crash and a parachuting Smallfoot survivor, he rushes back to the village to tell everyone that Smallfoot exists and that the stone claiming they don’t is—gasp!—wrong! This is tantamount to heresy, and Migo is banished until he’s ready to admit he didn’t see a Smallfoot. Essentially, the film’s a subtle indictment of religion, which controls the masses, demands ignorance, and condemns critical thinking. A few of the Yetis are part of a secret Smallfoot-believing faction and soon Migo himself is part of the group headed up by the Stonekeeper’s daughter Meechee (Zendaya) who’s also Migo’s potential love interest. There’s also a side message about how it’s wrong to sensationalize and exploit—Percy Patterson is a nature filmmaker with rock-bottom ratings. He’s willing to lie about finding a Yeti to generate more viewers. When he “discovers” Migo, he has to learn the hard lesson that it’s better to protect than exploit him. Will your 10-year-old “get” either message?

ONE GIANT LEAP Ryan Gosling (center) stars as Neil Armstrong, the first person to step foot on the Moon, in the historical drama and biopic First Man. Probably not, but there are a few cloying musical numbers to distract, and a lot of color and action throughout. I may not be the right audience, but your kids probably are, and that’s the idea, right? Eventually, Migo returns to the village with Percy, proving once and for all that Smallfoot exists. However, a lie repeated enough times can become truth, and to save the Yeti village from descending into stone-rejecting chaos, the Stonekeeper decides to show Migo “The Secret,” taking him to a cave with wall paintings showing fighting and fear between Smallfoot and the Yetis that existed before the Yetis retreated to the top of the Himalayas. The stones keep the Yetis ignorant but also safe, warning them not to go down to Smallfoot territory. Migo decides he’ll go along with The Secret and goes before the village and claims Percy is a kind of yak and that Smallfoot doesn’t exist after all. Meanwhile, Percy is suffering from altitude sickness, and Meechee and her Smallfootbelieving society aren’t willing to continue living in ignorance, so she takes Percy below the clouds. Now both humans and Yetis are forced to confront their coexistence, but that doesn’t mean they can actually coexist. Mayhem ensues and fear runs rampant. Will violence return between the two species? Seeing as how this is a PG animated children’s film, the answer is obvious. The film’s pat happy ending is that truth is good, that Yetis and people can be friends, and Percy learns his lesson and saves the day. If you’ve got young kids, maybe they’ll be entertained for a couple hours. I was pretty bored, and the film still feels like it’s pointing out the gullibility that organized religion requires and the judgmentalism it breeds. (96 min.) —Glen Starkey

BESTIES! When a journalist (Tom Hardy) bonds with an alien symbiote, they discover they’re stronger together, in the Marvel anti-hero flick Venom. MOVIES from page 42 host, usually a human, to bond with for its survival. Oddly, Venom isn’t tied to Spiderman … yet. Brock is an investigative journalist who rides his motorcycle around busy San Francisco to report on malicious corporations and expose them on his TV show. He’s assigned a puff piece on Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), the founder of The Life Foundation, a research facility that engages in unethical experimentation with aspirations for world domination. Brock’s boss basically tells him he can’t expose Drake but, being the reporter he is, he tries to do the opposite of that. Brock’s fiancée, Anne Weying (Michelle Williams), is a lawyer whose firm represents The Life Foundation, so obviously Brock snoops through her files to dig up some dirt on Drake and his foundation. When it’s time for the interview, Brock tries to expose Drake, which leads the reporter to lose his job, his apartment, and fiancée. He’s basically blacklisted from journalism throughout the city and is reduced to looking for dishwasher gigs. He’s about to swear off reporting when whistleblower Dr. Dora Skirth (Jenny Slate) explains Drake is trying to mix humans with a number of alien forms called symbiotes. Skirth sneaks Brock into the facility and he becomes infected with the symbiote. Unlike many of Drake’s trial runs, Brock’s merge with the symbiote is successful as the alien-like parasite introduces himself as Venom. The two decide to work together to stop Drake—who also gets infected by a symbiote—from bringing more of these creatures to Earth with the intention to end the human race. While we’ve seen Hardy really get into the role of his characters like Max Rockatamsky (Mad Max), Bane (The Dark

Knight Rises), or Eames (Inception), he just isn’t that convincing as washed-up-loser Eddie Brock. Maybe it’s the weird accent or the match-up with Michelle Williams, which I wasn’t buying either. Despite that, the action scenes were full of intense in-your-face punches, cars smashing into each other, and people being flung into the air. While it doesn’t reach a level of gory intensity as Deadpool does, people getting their heads bit off and eaten is pretty up there. There’s also an incredible scene where Venom is fighting another symbiote and as the two duke it out, you see the faces of the humans underneath the parasites’ skin— wait, don’t call Venom a parasite; he gets very offended. The overall connection between Venom and Brock is interesting as Venom takes

over Brock’s body and the two realize the extent of their superpower. They have their humorous moments when Brock tries to fight the transformation. It feels similar to that of Jim Carry’s struggle in The Mask, but the two find a deeper understanding in each other, as both are losers on their respected planets. The film lacks a cohesive and strong storyline for the first introduction of the Marvel character, but I will admit I’ll be watching for the sequel as the clip at the end of the movie lays the groundwork for someone all too familiar to Venom.

BLAST FROM THE never looks rested. The rest of his time is either spent confined to his desk with the typewriter or staring straight into the camera like he knows we’re watching (the classic “Kubrick stare,” used by at least one actor in almost all of the director’s films). Meanwhile, Danny is having ghastly visions of apparitions throughout the hotel. There’s never concrete evidence against them being figments of his imagination, until Jack begins to see them too. Or they’re both just going crazy. Either way, it’s up to poor Wendy to remain a beacon of sanity, which becomes quite difficult after finding out exactly what Jack’s been typing this whole time. If I had to choose just one word to describe The Shining, it would be hypnotic. It’s deliberately slow, but the pace combined with the eerie score and seamless cinematography provides a dreamlike quality far superior to any number of jump scares the film could be accused of lacking. It sucks me in every time, so much so that you can probably find me in the framed 1921 Gold Ballroom photo by now, along with the rest of the souls the Overlook has trapped over the years. (144 min.)

Brunch on any old day
Brunch is located at 822 13th St. in Paso Robles and hours are Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, call (805) 440-4729 or follow the business on Instagram @brunch.paso.
W
hat is brunch? Is it the stuff of boring baby showers and bad business buffets? An excuse to pour an entire stick of butter (hello Hollandaise sauce) onto your meal? To get a little buzzed before noon and sleep off the rest of the day? I’d argue a good brunch is really none of these things. It’s all about self-care. How often do we linger over a meal, savoring the last bit of laughter and gossip between friends? Rarely, right? Brunch—that deliciously indulgent meal between whenever you wake up and whenever you feel full—is about the people you share it with. You might even turn your phone off. If brunch is happening, it can wait till 3 p.m. Hey, another pitcher of mimosa is on its way! The owner of a new restaurant in Paso Robles aptly called “Brunch” wants you to experience more of this feel-good brunch-time vibe, and not just on special occasions or Sundays. After hearing about their specialties offered

mom’s downtown Paso Robles cheese shop, Di Raimondo’s. A transplant from Southern California, her family settled in the Atascadero area back in 1989. “LA is just too busy; I love living in Santa Margarita and that small-town feel,” she said. What she did miss,
however, was brunch. While brunch is most certainly a “thing” in most big cities, with Instagram accounts solely dedicated to capturing the perfect shots of trendy avocado toast, Paso Robles is more of a scrambled-egg town. In fact, Johnson said some of the old timers are still completely skeptical of her luxurious brunch concept. “Paso has a great food industry, but I felt the breakfast and brunch area had been lacking a bit. I wanted to bring a fun, hipster vibe to this spot,” she said. Johnson herself does not cook, nor does she want to. Instead, she’s hired chefs to reverse-engineer her vivacious, pictureworthy ideas. Her wedding industry prowess shines in these plates. Jammy fried eggs dot the Brunch landscape. (Remember Portlandia’s “put a bird on it”? Try “put an egg on it.”). “We have a breakfast taco; a breakfast pizza; and twists on the traditional items like biscuits and gravy, but with a really great spicy chorizo; or French toast with FLAVOR continued page 48

a s’mores twist,” Johnson said. “In Paso, you can only get brunch on a Sunday, but we’re offering it five days a week all day long. Coming from the event industry, we work a lot of weekends, so we don’t typically have time to hang with friends on a Saturday or Sunday.” Through this dilemma, Johnson has created something kind of astounding. A Monday or Thursday afternoon brunch? Revolutionary. “I was thinking about people who can’t always do a Sunday brunch, like moms who drop their kids at school and want to get together with the girls for a good, fun breakfast,” Johnson said, adding that brunch does not need to include alcohol—although, hey, why not? The restaurant offers local chardonnay from Bailyana, craft beer, bloody marys, and (if you must) strong coffee. A unique bubbly flight allows guests to “DIY” their own mimosas. Yes, you can drop any fresh fruit you fancy into your fizzy flute at will! What you won’t find at Brunch? Those weird new “breakfast salads” fancied by the LA elite (must they ruin everything?) or anemic, sad scones to go. This is brunch, people. Schedule it on your calendar, or don’t. Wake up and smell the bacon breakfast pizza, crab cake eggs Benedict, and popular chicken-asiago-sausage stuffed breakfast burrito (best eaten with a knife and fork). A good brunch takes time, and that’s the pleasure of it. Perhaps this is why folks are lining up along the block and weekends often warrant a wait. “Brunch, to me, is a good, hearty accelerated breakfast food,” Johnson said. “This is not your typical omelet and potatoes.” ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain believes brunch is for the best of buds.

The event brings together nearly two dozen hard cider makers from across California, each featuring a range of styles and tastes. The vibe is low key and the entertainment features lawn games and live tunes. Expect food trucks and a bicycle valet. False advertising? Maybe. A pretty chill way to spend a Saturday? For sure.

The project also includes hydroseeding with native plants, and installation and maintenance of several Monterey cypress trees to reduce visual impacts of the new tank. The new tank would be located in the same pressure zone as the existing tank, with a base elevation of 225 feet above sea level. The maximum steepness of cut and fill slopes would be of 2:1.

ORDINANCE NO. 2018-5
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE TEMPLETON COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT REVISING THE WATER HOOK-UP FEES AND AMENDING DISTRICT WATER CODE
BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District as follows: SECTION ONE. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS. The Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District (“District”) finds and determines as follows: a. Development is occurring within the District’s service area. The District’s consultants, Lechowicz & Tseng, recently completed the Templeton Community Services District Development Impact Fee Study to review the District’s water development impact fees and to propose revisions to reflect the cost of providing water system capacity for new residential and commercial development (the “Study”). The District last revised its water hook-up fees for residential customers in District Ordinance No. 2008-4 and for commercial, industrial, and other similarly situated customers in Ordinance No. 2003-3. b. The Study evaluated the current value of District water system assets in order to determine a capacity charge for new customers that bears a reasonable relationship to the equity that similarly situated existing customers have in the system, and evaluates new customers’ proportionate share of the costs of new facilities that are needed to serve new development. The water supply secured by the District from the Creekside Ranch Pipeline, the purchase of additional Nacimiento Project water, and the other water facility and supply improvements identified in the Study (collectively, the “Water Capital Facilities”) are needed to reduce the impacts on the District’s water system caused by contemplated future development with the District’s service area and to provide adequate water service to future development within the District. The proposed water impact fees are “capacity charges” as that term is used in Government Code section 66013. c. The proposed water impact fees collected under this Ordinance shall be used and are needed to finance the Water Capital Facilities, and will not be used for general revenue purposes. d. The expected new development within the service area of the District will generate additional demands on the District’s water system requiring the Water Capital Facilities. There is a need within the District’s service area for the Water Capital Facilities, for which the contemplated new development must contribute its fair share towards the cost of these facilities. e. The facts and evidence presented in the Study and supporting documents establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the Water Capital Facilities and the impacts of the type of development described for which the corresponding water impact fees are imposed, and there is a reasonable relationship between the fees’ use and the type of development for which the fees are imposed. f. The cost estimates for acquiring and constructing the Water Capital Facilities are reasonable, and the revenue expected to be generated by the proposed water impact fees from the anticipated new development will not exceed the new development’s fair share of these costs. g. The Study materials are on file at the District office and have been available for public review and inspection for more than fourteen days prior to the public meeting on the proposed water impact fees. h. The Study and the proposed water impact fees were the subject of a public meeting of the District Board of Directors on August 30, 2018, at which the Board of Directors received comments. i. Notice of the proposed water impact fees was published in advance of the August 30, 2018 meeting. j. The Board of Directors has reviewed and considered the Study and the comments received concerning it and the proposed water impact fees at a Public Hearing held at their regular meeting on September 18, 2018, which include the following fees: (1) water development impact fee, also called a connection or hook-up fee in Section 7 the District’s Water Code (the “Water Hook-up Fee”), including a proportional fee for connection of new accessory dwelling units; and (2) “Water Capacity Fee”, as described in subsection 2.3.2 of the Water Code. SECTION TWO. AUTHORITY. This Ordinance is adopted under the authority found in Government Code sections 61100(a), 61060(b), 61115(a), 66013, and other applicable law. SECTION THREE. WATER HOOK-UP FEES. The Water Hook-up Fee shall be imposed in connection with applications for new water service, including for qualifying new accessory dwelling units, without an existing will serve commitment, and the Water Capacity Fee shall be imposed for service with a will serve commitment, but no connection, based on the equivalent dwelling units needed to serve the subject premises, as determined by the District in accordance with such applications and the schedule of fees set forth in Exhibit A attached to and made a part of this Ordinance. SECTION FOUR. AMENDMENT TO DISTRICT WATER CODE. Subsection (a) of Section 2.3.2 of the District Water Code, concerning payment of the Water Capacity Fee, is hereby amended to read as follows: If the application is for service to premises for which a will serve commitment is outstanding and effective, and the number of units of use applied for such premises do not exceed that stated in the will serve commitment, then a water service permit shall be issued for the premises upon submission of the information required in Section 2.3.1, payment of a Water Capacity Fee, payment of any applicable charges and compliance with other District rules and regulations governing water service. The Water Capacity Fee, enacted by the District Board in Ordinance No. 2014-4, will be effective as of January 1, 2019. The Water Capacity Fee shall be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in Exhibit A to Ordinance No. 2014-4. The District shall notify in writing all holders of outstanding and effective will serve commitments of the new Water Capacity Fee and its effective date. Until the effective date of the Water Capacity Fee, applications for service pursuant to this Section 2.3.2 shall not be subject to such fee. The permit shall not be transferable to other property. There shall be no time limit on the permit. Section 7.1.1 of the District Water Code, concerning residential Water Hook-up Fees, is hereby amended to read as follows: The water hook-up fee shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto. Section 7.1.2 of the District Water Code, concerning commercial, industrial, and other similar water hook-up fees is hereby amended to read as follows: The water hook-up fee shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto. Section 7.1.3 concerning Water Hook-up Fees for accessory dwelling units is added to the District Water Code as follows: 7.1.3 Secondary Dwelling Unit Water Hook-up Fees. For a Secondary Dwelling that does not meet requirements (i)-(v) listed in Section 2.2.7(a), payment of a water hook-up fee shall be required before service can be provided by the District. The water hook-up fee shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto. Exhibit A to the District Water Code is hereby deleted and replaced with the chart of water hook-up fees set forth in Exhibit A attached to and made a part of this Ordinance. SECTION FIVE. CEQA FINDINGS. The increase in the water impact fees is, among other things, for the purpose of obtaining funds for the Water Capital Facilities that are necessary to address the burdens and needs created by new development in the District. The new development itself is subject to detailed environmental review by the County of San Luis Obispo as lead agency with respect to the approval of new development. Further, separate environmental review will be conducted for each Water Capital Facility before it is approved and then constructed. Consequently, the District Board of Directors finds that the adoption of this Ordinance and the increase in the water impact fees is exempt from application of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) as provided by Section 21080(b)(8) of the California Public Resources Code and CEQA Guidelines section 15273. The District Board of Directors also finds that the adoption of the increased fees is exempt from review under section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the increased fees may have a significant effect on the environment. The District Board of Directors authorizes the General Manager to execute and file a Notice of Exemption with the San Luis Obispo County Clerk. SECTION SIX. INCONSISTENCY. This Ordinance supersedes and replaces Ordinance No. 2008-4 and amends any contrary provisions of Ordinance No. 2003-3. To the extent that the terms and provisions of this Ordinance may be inconsistent or in conflict with the terms or conditions of any other prior District ordinances, resolutions, rules, or regulations governing the same subject, the terms of this Ordinance shall prevail with respect to the subject matter thereof and such inconsistent or conflicting provisions of prior ordinances, resolutions, rules, or regulations are hereby repealed. SECTION SEVEN. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Ordinance or application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, no other provision of this Ordinance shall be affected thereby. SECTION EIGHT. PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE. The Secretary of the Board of Directors is directed to publish this Ordinance once with the names of the members voting for and against the Ordinance, in a newspaper published in the District within 15 days after the adopting of this Ordinance. A complete copy of the Water Code is available for public inspection and copying at the District’s office in accordance with the California Public Records Act. (Government Code section 6250 through 6276.48.) This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its final passage. INTRODUCED by the Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District on the 18th day of September, 2018. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District on the 2nd day of October, 2018, by the following vote: AYES: Petersen, Logan, Fardanesh, Pelfrey NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: Jardini ATTEST:

_______________________________________ Secretary, Board of Directors CERTIFICATE I hereby certify that the foregoing is a full, true and correct copy of Ordinance No. 2018-5, duly and regularly adopted by the Board of Directors of TEMPLETON COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT, County of San Luis Obispo, on the 2nd day of October, 2018.
EXHIBIT A Water Hook-Up Fees Water Hook-Up Fee - $36,979 Per Equivalent Dwelling Unit* Accessory Dwelling Unit, Hook-Up Fee- $7,074 Hook-Up fees do not include the cost of the meter or meter installation *575 GPD
_______________________________________ Secretary, Board of Directors TEMPLETON COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT
Water Capacity Fee The Water Capacity Fee shall be an amount equal to the Water Hook-Up Fee (in effect at the time the Water Capacity Fee is paid) less the amount the property owner paid for the water unit. Unless prohibited by an existing agreement or provision in the Water Code, all water units where a Water Capacity Fee is paid shall be converted to value of 575 gpd. In circumstances where a water unit cannot be converted, the Water Capacity Fee shall be prorated to the value of the subject water unit. For example, a property owner originally paid $13,453 for a water unit, and applies for water service in February 2019, and is subject to the Water Capacity Fee as stated in Section 2.3.2(a) of the District’s Water Code, the Water Capacity Fee shall be $23,526 ($36,979 – $13,453 = $23,526). And if a property owner originally paid $13,453, for a water unit which had a value of 430 gpd, which is subject to an agreement which prevents that value from being altered, the applicable Water Capacity Fee shall be $14,281.25 ($36,979 x .75 (430/575) - $13,453 = $14,281.25). The Water Capacity Fee does not include the cost of the physical connection or the cost of the meter or meter installation. October 11, 2018
ORDINANCE NO. 2018-6
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE TEMPLETON COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT REVISING THE SEWER HOOK-UP FEES AND AMENDING DISTRICT SEWER CODE
BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District as follows:
SECTION ONE. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS. The purpose of this Ordinance is to update the District’s method of calculating sewer hook-up fees. This Ordinance also re-refines a sewer unit of use in order to best allocate the District’s limited resources for the benefit of the District’s existing and future customers. The Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District (“District”) finds and determines as follows: a. Development is occurring within the District’s service area. The District recently completed a study to review the District’s sewer hook-up fees and propose revisions to reflect the cost of providing sewer system capacity for new development (the “Study”). The District last revised its sewer hook-up fees for residential customers in District Ordinance No. 2001-4 and for commercial, industrial, and other similarly situated customers in Ordinance No. 2003-3. b. The Study evaluated the current value of District sewer system assets in order to determine a capacity charge for new customers that bears a reasonable relationship to the equity that similarly situated existing customers have in the system, and evaluates new customers’ proportionate share of the costs of new facilities that are need to serve new development. The sewer system projects including improvements to the District’s Meadowbrook Wastewater Treatment Plant, Westside Force Main, and the sewer facility improvements identified in the Study (collectively, the “Sewer Capital Facilities”) are needed to reduce the impacts on the District’s sewer system caused by contemplated future development with the District’s service area and to provide adequate sewer service to future development within the District. The proposed sewer hook-up fees are in the nature of “capacity charges” as that term is used in Government Code section 66013. c. The proposed sewer hook-up fees collected under this Ordinance shall be used and are needed to finance the Sewer Capital Facilities, and will not be used for general revenue purposes. d. The expected new development within the service area of the District will generate additional demands on the District’s sewer system requiring the Sewer Capital Facilities. There is a need within the District’s service area for the Sewer Capital Facilities, for which the contemplated new development must contribute its fair share towards the cost of these facilities. e. The facts and evidence presented establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the Sewer Capital Facilities and the impacts of the type of development described for which the corresponding sewer hook-up fees are imposed, and there is a reasonable relationship between the fees’ use and the type of development for which the fees are imposed. f.

AMENDMENTS TO DISTRICT SEWER CODE. Section 1.7(www) of the District Sewer Code, concerning the definition of a sewer unit of use, is hereby amended to read as follows: Unit of Use. A unit of use is equivalent to 176 gallons of water per day. Section 9.1.3 of the District Sewer Code, concerning residential sewer hook-up fees, is hereby amended to read as follows: The sewer hook-up fee shall be in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 061799-CA. 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.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Name 10 personal possessions you’d put in a time capsule to be opened by your descendants in 200 years. Testify at freewillastrology.com. ARIES
LIBRA
(March 21-April 19): In his book The Snow Leopard, Peter Matthiessen describes his quest to glimpse the elusive and rarely seen creature in the Himalayas. “Its uncompromising yellow eyes, wired into the depths of its unfathomable spirit,” he writes, give it a “terrible beauty” that is “the very stuff of human longing.” He loves the snow leopard so much, he says, that it is the animal he “would most like to be eaten by.” I bring this up, Aries, because now would be a good time, astrologically speaking, for you to identify what animal you would most like to be eaten by. In other words, what creature would you most like to learn from and be inspired by? What beautiful beast has the most to give you?
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My astrological analysis suggests that life is conspiring to render you extra excited and unusually animated and highly motivated. I bet that if you cooperate with the natural rhythms, you will feel stirred, playful, and delighted. So how can you best use this gift? How might you take maximum advantage of the lucky breaks and bursts of grace that will be arriving? Here’s my opinion: Be more focused on discovering possibilities than making final decisions. Feed your sense of wonder and awe rather than your drive to figure everything out. Give more power to what you can imagine than to what you already know. Being practical is fine as long as you’re idealistically practical.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Richard Nelson is an anthropologist who has lived for years with the indigenous Koyukon people of Alaska. He lauds their “careful watching of the same events in the same place” over long periods of time, noting how this enables them to cultivate a rich relationship with their surroundings that is incomprehensible to us civilized Westerners. He concludes, “There may be more to learn by climbing the same mountain a hundred times than by climbing a hundred different mountains.” I think that’s excellent counsel for you to employ in the coming weeks.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “It is sad that unless you are born a god, your life, from its very beginning, is a mystery to you,” writes Gemini author Jamaica Kincaid. I disagree with her because she implies that if you’re human, your life is a complete and utter mystery; whereas my observation has been that for most of us, our lives are no more than 80 percent mystery. Some lucky ones have even deciphered as much as 65 percent, leaving only 35 percent mystery. What’s your percentage? I expect that between now and Nov. 1, you can increase your understanding by at least 10 percent.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Cancerians may not possess the mental dexterity of Virgos or the acute cleverness of Geminis, but you have the most soulful intelligence in the zodiac. Your empathetic intuition is among your greatest treasures. Your capacity to feel deeply gives you the ability to intensely understand the inner workings of life. Sometimes you take this subtle acumen for granted. It may be hard for you to believe that others are stuck at a high-school level of emotional skill when you have the equivalent of a Ph.D. Everything I just said is a prelude to my advice. In the coming weeks, I doubt you can solve your big riddle through rational analysis. Your best strategy is to deeply experience all the interesting feelings that are rising up in you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you ever experience stress from having to be so interesting and attractive all the time? It may on occasion feel like an onerous responsibility to be the only artful egomaniac amidst swarms of amateur egomaniacs. I have a suggestion that might help. Twice a year, celebrate a holiday I call Dare to Be Boring Week. During these periods of release and relief, you won’t live up to people’s expectations that you keep them amused and excited. You’ll be free to be solely focused on amusing and exciting yourself, even if that means they’ll think you’re dull. Now is an excellent time to observe Dare to Be Boring Week.

CAli DOlCE
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A Chinese proverb says, “Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” I’m happy to let you know that you are currently more receptive to this truth than maybe you have ever been. Furthermore, you have more power than usual to change your life in ways that incorporate this truth. To get started, meditate on the hypothesis that you can get more good work done if you’re calm and composed than if you’re agitated and trying too hard.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How far is it from the Land of the Lost to the Land of the Lost and Found? What’s the best route to take? Who and what are likely to provide the best help? If you approach those questions with a crisply optimistic attitude, you can gather a wealth of useful information in a relatively short time. The more research you do about the journey, the faster it will go and the more painless it will be. Here’s another fertile question to meditate on: Is there a smart and kind way to give up your attachment to a supposedly important thing that is actually quite burdensome?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In her only novel, Save Me the Waltz, Zelda Fitzgerald described her main character like this: “She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.” That’s a bit too much like fairy-tale wisdom for me to endorse it unconditionally. But I do believe it may sometimes be a valid hypothesis— especially for you Sagittarians in the coming months. Your faith in yourself and your desire to have interesting fun will be even more important than usual in determining what adventures you will have. I suggest you start now to lay the groundwork for this exhilarating challenge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Russian philosopher George Gurdjieff taught that most people are virtually sleepwalking even during the day. He said we’re permanently stuck on automatic pilot, prone to reacting in mechanical ways to every event that comes our way. Psychology pioneer Sigmund Freud had an equally dim view of us humans. He believed that it’s our normal state to be neurotic; that most of us are chronically out of sync with our surroundings. Now here’s the good news, Capricorn. You’re at least temporarily in a favorable position to refute both men’s theories. In fact, I’ll boldly predict that in the next three weeks you’ll be as authentic and awake and at peace as you’ve been in years.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the late 19th century, American botanist George Washington Carver began to champion the nutritional value of peanuts. His influence led to the plant being grown and used more extensively. Although he accomplished many other innovations, including techniques for enhancing depleted soils, he became famous as the Peanut Man. Later in life, he told the story that while young he had prayed to God to show him the mystery of the universe, but God turned him down, saying, “That’s for me alone.” So George asked God to show him the mystery of the peanut, and God agreed, saying, “that’s more nearly your size.” The coming weeks will be a great time for you to seek a comparable revelation, Aquarius.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Every year, people discard 3.3 million pounds of chewing gum on the streets of Amsterdam. A company named Gumdrop has begun to harvest that waste and use it to make soles for its new brand of sneakers, Gumshoe. A spokesperson said the intention was to “create a product people actually want from something no one cares about.” I’d love it if you were inspired by this visionary act of recycling, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic omens, you now have exceptional powers to transform something you don’t want into something you do want. ∆
