SLO County conducts homeless survey
O
FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM
n Jan. 28 at 6 a.m., volunteers gather in the main room of 40 Prado to participate in the biennial homeless Point In Time Count and survey. A four-person group made up of two guides (homeless individuals) and two volunteers are assigned a section of the city of San Luis Obispo to conduct the survey. My group is given Marsh Street to Capitolio Way, and we decide to split up into groups of two. My partner, Jorge Gonzalez, is experiencing homelessness for the first time. It’s been a year since Gonzalez was married, caring for his son, working and living in Monterey County. But a divorce left him with little money. “I didn’t want to be in that area anymore so with what I had, I got a ticket, hopped on a bus, and came to the nearest place,” Gonzalez said. As we walk up and down the streets, we pause to look behind and between buildings, and in large sections of shrubbery. He points out these areas because he said he’s slept in similar places. We see a man sleeping on the sidewalk, his belongings covered by a dingy comforter. We
count him on our sheet: male, mid40s, and on the street. Gonzalez has only been homeless for a year. He’s currently working for 40 Prado—he and the other guides are getting paid $15 an hour plus the time spent on training—and saving up to rent a place of his own again. “People think that because you’re homeless it’s because of drugs or because you want to be, but that’s not all of us,” he said. INVISIBLE PEOPLE The biennial Point In Time Count Peter Connery, vice president of is meant to be a visual census of the number of homeless Applied Survey Research, assisted individuals living in SLO County.

Appeals court upholds libel verdict against CalCoastNews
Times. “We want readers to understand that CalCoastNews is not a reliable source. This court’s decision makes it clear that they are not to be relied upon.” According to the court’s Jan. 29 opinion, the appeal was rejected in part because a full record of the original trial was not provided. Both sides initially waived a court reporter until Blackburn and Velie later hired one, resulting in the lack of a transcript for the first three days of the trial. “We understand the protection afforded the press by the First Amendment,” the opinion read. “But these reporters have not given us the means to address their concerns.” The court’s ruling also shot down some of CalCoastNews’ other arguments in favor of overturning the verdict, including that the jury didn’t receive proper instructions and that some statements and a photo in the article were not actually defamatory. Wagstaffe indicated the appeals court’s ruling was particularly important at a time when fairness and accuracy in journalism has become a much-debated topic. “There is so much opportunity for falsehoods to be reported online, so there’s more responsibility to be accurate,” Wagstaffe said. “If there are weeds in the journalism garden, they must be weeded.” Although the story in question was taken down after the verdict, Velie and Blackburn have stood by it, and the website has featured multiple stories about Tenborg and his relationship with the SLO County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) and its former manager Bill Worrell. After reports funded by a local citizen’s group raised questions about financial operations at the agency, including transactions between Worrell and Tenborg, the IWMA commissioned a forensic audit, and the SLO County District Attorney’s Office also announced that it was conducting an investigation. “Let’s not lose sight of the fact that Karen and I are not the ones who are under criminal investigation by law enforcement—that would be the IWMA, Bill Worrell, Charles Tenborg,” Blackburn, who no longer writes news for the

Judges for the California Court of Appeals’ 2nd District upheld a SLO County jury’s 2017 libel verdict against CalCoastNews. In a unanimous decision, the court affirmed the verdict against the local website in connection with a 2012 article about waste management businessman Charles Tenborg authored by reporters Karen Velie and Dan Blackburn. The verdict resulted in a combined judgment of $1.1 million in damages levied against the website and both reporters. “This decision vindicates the jury’s verdict,” James Wagstaffe, Tenborg’s attorney, told New

County misses $5 million homelessness grant
San Luis Obispo County will not receive up to $5 million in newly available state funds to create housing for homeless individuals with mental illnesses, after a failed search for property forced the county to take itself out of the running. Transitions-Mental Health Association (TMHA), the lone group to step forward to work with the county on the grant, had its eye on a 12-unit apartment complex in North County that it hoped to convert into permanent supportive housing units for the homeless. But negotiations on a sale fell through, and the property sold to another entity. With a Jan. 30 application deadline, TMHA said it was unable to secure an alternate location in time. Joe Madsen, TMHA’s housing director, told New Times that the uncertainty around the competitive grant process and the delay in receiving funds were factors in the breakdown. “Prices here are climbing and properties are selling so fast. ...

landlords who were willing to wait six months [for the grant],” Madsen said. The grants are part of the state’s No Place Like Home Program—enabled by voters’ approval of Proposition 2 in 2018— and the first round of funding made $400 million available statewide. Counties were given between Oct. 30 and Jan. 30 to gain “site control” of property and submit grant applications. SLO County Behavioral Health Director Anne Robin said the state’s tight application window and other constraints, like finding available apartments (single-family homes weren’t eligible) close to transit and city services, made the pursuit challenging for small, rural counties like SLO. “TMHA tried hard,” Robin said. “The time frame was really short for something this large.” Robin said she’d work with state officials on trying to make the process more friendly and flexible to SLO for the next round of grants, which will open in August. “We missed the first round; there will be other rounds,” she said. “The state wanted to get the dollars out there and some larger counties may have had things ready to roll.” Madsen, with TMHA, noted that the additional time will allow the organization to explore its options and be better positioned for success. “Having more time would be great ... and having landlords a little bit more prepared,” Madsen said. “We have a really great network of landlords for today, but for tomorrow we definitely need more community support. More and better landlord relationships will turn the tide with this.” —Peter Johnson
Oceano neighborhood ‘in shock’ over homicide
As the SLO County Sheriff’s Office continued to investigate the homicide of 90-year-old Larry Bross, friends and neighbors of the well-known community activist are still reeling from news of his death. “The whole neighborhood is in shock and sorrow and misses him deeply,” Nell Langford, who owns a vacation home on the same street as Bross and worked with him on addressing several community issues, told New Times.
VIEWER DISCRETION Bross was found dead in his home in the 1400 block of Strand Way in Oceano on Jan. 24. The SLO County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death as a homicide, but has released few other details. Questions from other residents in the neighborhood about the killing prompted Langford to organize a meeting at her home. Langford said the purpose of the meeting was to share information and dispel the rumors circulating in the neighborhood since Bross’ death. “What we learned at the meeting is that we really don’t know anything,” she said. “We don’t know if they have or have not caught the person, who did it, or if that person or persons are still at large.” Langford said she reached out to the Sheriff’s Office, but no one from the department attended the meeting. In a press release about Bross’ death, the Sheriff’s Office characterized the homicide as an “isolated incident.” Bross was a longtime activist connected with issues related to the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, which butts up against the backyard of his home. He was a vocal proponent of limiting recreational vehicle activity on the dunes and even helped to defeat SLO County’s attempts to sell the La Grande tract of the dunes to State Parks. “He was loved, respected, admired,” Langford said. “He didn’t have an enemy in the world. He made friends with everyone, even people whose ideas were different from his own.” As of Jan. 30, Bross’ death remained under investigation. On Jan. 28, the Sheriff’s Office released a statement asking anyone who had contact with Bross during the last two weeks to contact them. The Sheriff’s Office is also asking any Strand Way residents who might have video surveillance footage to contact them. Anyone with information can contact the Sheriff’s Detective Division at (805) 781-4500 or at Crime Stoppers at (805) 549-STOP and slotips.org. —Chris McGuinness
Cal Poly rolls out inclusive action plan
Cal Poly announced a partnership and a three-step project meant to further the university’s efforts of creating campuswide diversity and inclusivity. On Jan. 24, the university announced it was hiring Damon Williams, an Atlantabased consultant that specializes in strategic diversity leadership. Williams will spearhead the
university’s three-step Inclusive Excellence Action Plan over a 12-month period. The project includes conducting a campus climate survey in April to guide the university to develop a responsive action plan and workshops, professional development, and training programs. The partnership will cost $243,000. Cal Poly spokesperson Matt Lazier said the university is still deciding where the funding will come from, but the school won’t use general fund dollars, tuition, or student fees. Lazier said hiring Williams and his team is an important step in accelerating Cal Poly’s diversity and inclusion efforts. “The university believes in the importance of the work—and that the investment is worthwhile,” Lazier said. The team will come to campus as needed, and when they aren’t on campus, they will be in near-daily contact electronically with campus leadership. “One of the key dimensions that connects us all in this conversation is the degree to which we have a campus experience that is inclusive and multicultural and allows for all of us to live our best life, to be our best self in this environment,” William said during the Jan. 24 announcement. —Karen Garcia
Invasive pest prompts new citrus facility
To prevent the bug that ruined Florida’s citrus industry from taking hold in South San Luis Obispo County, Bee Sweet Citrus plans to build a facility that could wash and wax harvested citrus before it’s transported farther south. The 14,900-square-foot facility was part of the South County Advisory Council’s consent agenda on Jan. 28, and the council recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve the project. Bee Sweet would use 125 to 250 gallons of water per day to remove leaves and material from citrus that could host the Asian citrus psyllid, a bug that could carry citrus greening disease. The disease destroyed 24 percent of Florida’s citrus production at a loss of $344 million, according to 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton’s staff.
by Jayson Mellom
The entire county is proactively on quarantine with no end in sight, and the California Citrus Research Board has spent 75 percent of its research funding on finding a solution, according to Bee Sweet Vice Priesident Keith Watkins. “Until we have a solution for the disease, the quarantine will be there,” Watkins said. Watkins said workers will also wax and sort the fruit, and Bee Sweet Citrus is open to contract their services to other growers in the county. The washline would be the first in the county—an alternative to workers handremoving leaves, which could allow some psyllids to slip through the cracks, and insecticides that kill the bug but are toxic and costly, said San Luis Obispo County Assistant Agricultural Commissioner Marc Lea. Citrus greening disease has not been found in San Luis Obispo County, but growers are on edge as Asian citrus psyllids have been found in residential neighborhoods, indicating that the bug has been brought up by travelers who bring back produce from growers with the bug, Lea said. Lea said the pests can “hitchhike” on cars and clothing to get to the county. Over the last several decades, increased traveling has caused the influx of more foreign species, according to Lea and David Headrick, a Cal Poly horticulture and crops science professor. In the 1980s, six new insect species were discovered in SLO County every year, compared to nine new species every year now, Headrick said. Only a fraction of those nine species every year are pests that cause damage to crops, Headrick said. Δ —Aidan McGloin

Before, he says, schools really prioritized fire and earthquake drills. Now, there’s a huge emphasis on lockdown drills, conversations about what to do in the event of an active shooter on campus, and knowing who’s on campus at all times. Part of knowing his students are safe, O’Connor says, is by getting to know each and every one of them—literally. “We have almost 1,600 students, so we have 1,600 sets of eyes and ears,” he says. “If you see someone who doesn’t look like they belong, don’t walk by and ignore it, it has to be brought to our attention.”

SHUT TIGHT Three years ago, a former educator created the Lock Blok, a tool to lock classroom doors from the inside rather than traditionally locking them from the outside.
No sitting targets Students and faculty learn to take control with new active shooter safety protocols BY KAREN GARCIA • PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM
O
n Tuesday, Jan. 15, San Luis Obispo High School is buzzing with students getting from first period to second. After students reach their destinations, campus is silent except for the light rain hitting the pavement. Fifteen minutes into the class period, an announcement comes over the public address system: “We are currently in a drill, only a drill.” The heavy thud of classroom doors closing, one after another, is the only sound. Nick Frost, the assistant principal who orchestrated the lockdown drill, designated a group of teachers, administrators, and faculty to check every classroom to ensure everyone is following lockdown protocol. Donning bright orange vests, each person has an assigned area of the campus to check: Is the door locked? Are the lights turned off? Are students away from the windows and doors? SLO High Principal Leslie O’Connor pulls on door handles, looks through windows, and bangs on windows in his assigned area. Sometimes, he tells the class on the other side of the door to open it for him. It’s all a test. If they willingly open the door, they fail. If he can see students through the window, it’s a fail. If the door is unlocked, fail. If an active shooter ever does come to campus and a classroom fails to implement any of the lockdown protocols, students and the teacher could be in danger. “You get to a corner of the classroom where there is no glass, you would get to a space where you could turn off the lights, diminish cellphone usage, and we tell [students] to be very still and very quiet,” O’Connor says. “If they’re outside, get inside somewhere safe quickly or run as quickly as possible off campus.”
Nationally, an active shooter incident on a school campus is rare, although there has been an increase of incidents over the last few years. According to a Jan. 24 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 1994 and 2018, there were 38 active shooter incidents that resulted in fatalities. Of the 38 incidences, five occurred during the 2017-18 academic school year and three were in the 2016-17 school year. Lockdown drills are a common way for schools across the country to prepare for the worst. On the Central Coast, schools and law enforcement officials are working together to understand the changing reality of safety guidelines in the event of an active shooter. A new phone app and proactive thinking are some of the ways that these entities are working together to ensure student safety. In the back of everyone’s mind, aside from “it could happen here,” is that news of such incidents has left a greater impression on their lives than any other type of school emergency they prepare for—namely earthquakes and fires.
you’re talking about active shooter, that’s all they’ve ever known,” he says. He’s talking about the April 1999 massacre that occurred at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado. Two 12th grade students opened fire and murdered 12 students and one teacher, injured 31 people, and took their own lives. Since Columbine, there have been 10 school shootings that claimed more than five lives each—some had more than 30 casualties. April 2007 in Blacksburg, Virginia: A 23-year-old killed 32 students and faculty members at Virginia Tech with semiautomatic pistols, injuring 17 others. December 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut: A 20-year-old killed his mother, 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and himself, injuring two others. February 2018 in Parkland, Florida: A 19-year-old former student of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shot and killed 17 people and injured 17 others. May 2018 in Santa Fe, Texas: a 17-yearold killed 10 people at Santa Fe High School and injured 13 others. There are countless other reported incidents where active shooters on school campuses injured fewer than five people. “Let’s say there is someone that has been in the profession for 35 to 40 years. There’s that time frame of pre-Columbine when you never thought about an active shooter situation on a school campus,” O’Connor says. “If you talk to them now, they’re going to say, in terms of student safety, ‘Things are totally different.’”
Schools were once thought of as a reliably safe and secure environment, but that image has since been shattered by attacks on school campuses by students or intruders. According to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. First responders are needed to stop the shooting and mitigate danger, but active shooter situations are usually over within 10 to 15 minutes—before law enforcement arrives on the scene. Response time to an active shooter on a school campus is something the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office is hoping to improve with the push of a button. Last year, the office announced the implementation of the RAVE Panic Button app. The phone application alerts local law enforcement of an emergency on a school campus, pinpointing exactly where the emergency is, while simultaneously alerting all administrators, faculty, and teachers on campus (as well as school district officials and personnel in the SLO County Office of Education). Sheriff Ian Parkinson told New Times that the county is one of the first on the West Coast to have the safety tool in their holsters. With the help of Department of Homeland Security grants, his office purchased 3,200 app licenses, enough for almost every public and charter school in the county. The app has five buttons to choose from in the event of an emergency: active shooter (red), medical (blue cross symbol), fire (flame symbol), 911 (in green blocks), and police (a yellow badge symbol). Districtwide, employees have access to a specific passcode and login in order to download that app and utilize its services. The app is tailored to each school throughout the county as each campus has its own unique layout. The Sheriff’s Office contracted with Cal Fire to create a database with geomaps of every school. The maps identify every square inch of each school and highlight access points
Engrained forever
Before the drill takes place on Tuesday morning, O’Connor sits at a table in his office that faces a wall made out of windows. He can see every student who walks by his office, which is at the center of campus in the administration building. He’s been in the education field for 27 years as a coach, teacher, assistant principal, and principal—all at the high school level. Throughout his career, he says, the possibility of an active shooter coming to campus has been in the back of his mind—even though he feels safe at SLO High. “Columbine was in 1999, and the reason why I reference that is because for anyone that has come into the profession right around that time period, when

for local law enforcement. If a teacher were to hear gunshots in the adjacent room, Parkinson said, the teacher can pull out their phone, open the app, and hit the red active shooter button. An alert is sent to everyone on campus with access to the app (prompting a lockdown) and local law enforcement. With the information from the app, law enforcement has the exact location of the reported incident on their mobile computers. “If [law enforcement] is getting told it’s happening in the cafeteria, they can look right on the map and see exactly where it is. We can then direct personnel in because we want them to get close, but we don’t want them to be right up to it,” Parkinson said. The app eliminates the need for school staff to pick up the phone, dial 911, and explain the situation. With the push of a button, the right people are alerted and know which area of campus to respond to. “Between the mapping and the panic button, those were two areas that we felt that we could respond to a situation as quickly as possible and provide safety to students as fast as possible,” Parkinson said.
have,’” he said. Muñoz said he’s there for students who need to chat about issues with their peers, notify him of a problem they’ve witnessed on campus, or go over family issues that could be affecting their lives. In order for students to know that they’re safe from danger or that he’s available to talk, Muñoz makes himself as visible as possible. He’s the school resource officer for the Templeton Unified School District—Templeton Elementary School, Vineyard Elementary School, Templeton Middle School, Templeton High School, and Eagle Canyon High School. When students enter campus for the day, he’s near the entrance, he’s there during their break, lunch, and after school. He hopes it leaves the impression on kids that he’s everywhere because he’s the one who will respond first in the event of an emergency. “I know my partners are close by, and they’ll respond in a heartbeat as well as other agencies,” he said. “Sometimes I think, ‘Can I run fast enough, do I need a golf cart, or what’s the best approach?’” It’s a lot of responsibility, Muñoz said, having every single student’s safety in mind. And he doesn’t take the job lightly. If that worst-case scenario were to happen, he said, he wants to be ready and make sure every student goes home at the end of the day. “One thing I do tell kids is, ‘Hey, listen I’ve been a patrol deputy for over 10 years, and every day I wore my vest.’ As you can tell I’m still wearing it now,” he said tapping on his vest.
You’re in control
OUT OF SIGHT Knocking on the door, pulling on the handle, and asking for someone to open the door are just a few tactics that SLO High Principal Leslie O’Connor uses to check if classrooms are following lockdown procedures.
Geomapping of the school and the phone app are the most recent steps in a comprehensive plan of student safety that the Sheriff’s Office has been working on for three years. The initial steps provided the tools to train law enforcement throughout the county and created a relationship with schools to assist them in their safety procedures. A piece of that effort is having school resource officers on campuses who have various responsibilities—including teaching gang resistance education and training to sixth graders. But above all, those officers are there to ensure student safety. Prior to being a school resource officer, Deputy Paul Muñoz was a patrol officer for more than 10 years. “Having dealt with adults on a daily basis while I was on patrol, I thought, ‘You know, maybe we can prevent them from starting or going down that path of a life of crime,’” Muñoz said. “I knew there was a big opportunity for me to make an impact.” But the job was a little more challenging than he realized. Getting students to understand that he’s there for their safety and that he’s not there to keep tabs on them wasn’t easy. “I want them to kind of look at me and go, ‘Hey, there’s Deputy Muñoz. He’s here to protect us, but I know I can also go talk to him about any problems that I do
When Brent Vander Weide started his career in education, it was around the time of the Columbine High School massacre, something he’s never forgotten—but he didn’t know that it would affect his career the way it has. He’s the student safety and support coordinator for the Lucia Mar Unified School District. “I knew there was potential for it, but did I envision myself being the spokesperson for active shooter response? I never envisioned it coming that far,” Vander Weide said. “I never envisioned training teachers how to neutralize a violent threat by force.” This is the first year that he and the district rolled out ALICE Training. ALICE stands for alert, lockdown, inform, counter, and evacuate. These instructorled classes prepare and provide a plan for individuals and organizations about how to more proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder or active shooter event. ALICE is different from the conventional lockdown method, which has changed over the last couple of years. Students and teachers are no longer trained to just hunker down under a desk and wait out the situation. Vander Weide said the principles
SURVIVAL INSTINCTS Jim Johnson’s AP government and politics students were asked what they would use if they had to protect themselves against an active shooter.
of ALICE are: Do whatever best fits the situation at the time. There’s no chronological order or steps that someone needs to follow. “If you hear gunshots, and you know that it’s far away and you have an opportunity to evacuate, ALICE is designed to give you that authority to make that move and get yourself to safety,” he said. Vander Weide said in The Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting a boy decided to run, evacuating the situation, and about seven other kids followed him. That’s the whole point of ALICE, he said. The boy had the authority as little kid to make the decision and saved other lives by just taking off. “While we don’t necessarily want to train and drill those younger kids, we want our kids, especially the middle school and high school, to understand that here are your options. You have the authority to exercise your options and survive,” he said. There are also people within the district who really want to know what to do, who want to be told how to handle a situation. Vander Weide said that he’s able to provide those people with recommendations on the best decision to survive, but he’s not able to give direct orders. The district changed the name of its emergency drill procedure from “lockdown” to “secure in place,” which aligns with the more proactive approach that ALICE teaches. Before, when a lockdown happened, everybody would lock the doors and line up against the wall or get under a desk. Vander Weide said people would just cower. “Basically, you’re just sitting there and waiting. What you’re creating is a targetrich environment,” he said. “The principles of this active shooter response are to be proactive, don’t be a sitting target.”

He said if you’re going to run, be a moving target—moving targets are harder to hit—and offer distractions.
Proactive thinking
After the lockdown drill is over at SLO High School, students resume their normal classwork. Jim Johnson’s AP government and politics class went right back into the discussion they were having before the drill. Students face the front of the classroom looking at a PowerPoint slide. The class is adorned with campaign posters from the most recent presidential election and the years prior. There’s also a poster with all the political parties on it. Students have put stickers on it to show where their allegiance lies. Johnson has created a space for his students to feel comfortable voicing their opinions. Student Leila Silver says that she believes active shooter incidents are a national issue that can be solved at the legislative level. “It’s cool that our local police officers and the school is invested in helping us, but real change is going to come from people implementing common sense gun control laws, background checks, etc.” Silver says. “There’s only so much we can do.” Johnson asks his class if they found themselves in an emergency situation and had to exercise self-defense what would they do? He asks his class to look around the room and grab something they would use to arm themselves with. It takes the students less than a minute to grab something. A Hydro Flask, an umbrella, a chair, an entire desk, a knife. The knife isn’t a normal object in the classroom. Johnson is also a Associated Student Body advisor so it was one of the kitchen appliances in the classroom leftover from a recent event. The students share different thoughts about a shooter situation. Some say they believe students take advantage of the drills, thinking it would never happen at SLO High. All of the students say that the thought of an active shooter and seeing national coverage of active shooters is scary. But Lili Steel says it’s almost normal to think about. “I think, unfortunately, it’s reached a point when we think, ‘When is it going to happen here?’ because you see it happening nationally to kindergarten children, people in college, and high school students,” Steel says. “I don’t think it should be the thought of a 4-year-old or a 20-year-old.” ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

Travel, interrupted Rainy January impacts flights at SLO Airport, highlighting infrastructure gaps
J
16-MONTH SHARE CERTIFICATE
Santa Maria
BY PETER JOHNSON
anuary’s heavy rain was a welcome sight to local farmers, climateconscious residents, and freshwater reservoirs. But it made for a shaky month of travel at the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport. Commercial airlines delayed and canceled flights, offloaded passengers to reduce weight, and otherwise had schedule disruptions as a result of the stormy conditions. “It’s been a rough week for transportation, for sure,” Kevin Bumen, director of SLO County airports, said on Jan. 18 after two weeks of wet weather, both locally and across the West Coast. The extent of the disruptions is still unknown—data for January’s delays/ cancellations was unavailable at press time—but anecdotal testimony shared with New Times suggested plenty of rocky experiences. SLO resident Marianne Seaborne spent the night in Phoenix on Jan. 6 after her flight home was canceled. “I asked why, and they replied, ‘Weather,’” she said. At a time when the SLO airport is breaking passenger records (eclipsing 485,000 passengers last year, a 19 percent jump from 2017) and was recently named one of the fastest growing airports in North America, the weather cancellations raise the question: What’s the issue with flying to SLO in the rain?
Out of runway
In 2007, the main runway at the airport was extended 800 feet, to a total of 6,100 feet, to better accommodate the larger regional jets that have become the norm. Yet when planes land in SLO during a rainstorm with low visibility, they essentially don’t benefit from that extension. That’s because the runway’s northwest end uses an instrument landing system—a navigation aid that sends signals from the ground to the plane to help with landing—that did not move with the runway extension. As a result, when planes approach, they touch down 800 feet past the start of the runway, a landing space of only 5,300 feet. The shorter distance, with certain aircraft in poor weather conditions, can force airlines to drop weight from the plane—or cancel the flight altogether. With less than 20 commercial flights coming in and out of SLO each day, the impact is greater felt by the passenger. “The benefit, obviously, to flying out of a larger airport is schedule recovery,” Bumen said. “If something goes wrong, there are more options.” The county hasn’t moved the landing system to fit the extended runway because it’s an expensive and complex project. At the time the runway was worked on, the landing system didn’t receive funding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Bumen said. He added that it’s the only major project that’s unfinished in the
2005 airport master plan. “It’s an extremely big project, as simple as it sounds,” he said. “The challenge is there’s a ton of other work to do before you move that navigation aid. There’s a lot of dirt that has to move. Would it help things? In my opinion, yes.” Landing in SLO from the southeast, given its unfriendly terrain, has even more limitations. That end of the runway relies on a GPS navigation system, where there are stricter visibility requirements to land. “You need more visibility and a higher cloud ceiling [to safely land from the east],” Bumen said. It’s not only rain, cloud cover, and runway length that cause the issues. Wind is also a factor. Landing planes don’t handle tailwinds well, yet the majority of gusts at the airport move west to east—the same direction of that landing approach. “What happens from time to time is you add in a wet runway, low visibility, you’re on the CRJ 900 [a larger aircraft], and the kicker is the tailwind. And you may have gone from ‘we have to reduce weight’ to ‘we can’t even do it anymore because of the wind,’” Bumen said. SLO County has no immediate plans to complete the instrument landing system project. But it does have plans to undergo $15.1 million of maintenance on the current runway, taxiways, lighting system, and parking apron; much of which is more than 20 years old. About 90 percent of the funding for that work is expected to come from FAA grants. Bumen said the landing system project could materialize around 2023, pending funding and further analysis and discussion among airport leaders. The SLO County Airport, at about 350 acres, is one of the 20 smallest commercial service airports in the country. Bumen said that while some would like to see more growth, like another runway extension, there are significant obstacles. “Are there plans to expand it today? No,” he said. “When you look at the [southeastern] direction, there are a lot of obstructions out there—rolling hills, trees, buildings—all on property not owned by the airport. Going the other way, similarly, you got a creek right there and quite a bit of land that starts to overlie the city in areas that were never planned, from a land-use perspective, for aviation operations.” Bumen noted that the overall statistics show the airport delivers solid performance year-round. “On average, our scorecard sits in the middle of the pack nationally,” he said. “In the months we will struggle, on a percentage basis, we’ll still beat LA and San Francisco. ... We’re operating very optimally, I’d say, right now.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Whole food F or most of Caroline Israel and Patty Czach’s decades-long friendship, Israel has been encouraging Czach to eat healthy foods. “I want to eat healthier, and she’s always very forthcoming with lots of suggestions,” Czach said. “Over the years it’s been in a lot of our discussions, amongst other things.” In recent years, Czach was having trouble managing her cholesterol levels, and Israel suggested she eat more beans. Beans are naturally low in fat, almost completely free of saturated fat, and are cholesterol free. “She would have me over for a meal but she makes these very interesting meals that would incorporate cashews or beans in a way that you wouldn’t expect,” Czach said. “Like beans in her bean chocolate cake.” While Czach tried to incorporate beans as much as she could into her three meals a day, she wanted to look for a bean-based snack. Work takes up most of her day, she said, so she was looking for a snack that she could take with her on the go. So Czach starting searching market shelves and the depths of the internet for a bean-based snack. What she found— which wasn’t much—had a lot of other questionable ingredients that didn’t make the snack as healthy as she would like.
It didn’t take her long to suggest that she and Israel create a beanbased bar that Czach could eat and that they could sell to other people in search of a whole food snack.

I no longer drive It’s not the end of the world; there are plenty of ways to get around
I
gave up driving 21 days ago, and I haven’t driven since. I drove for 71 years, started at age 20, and it was hard to learn how to do it. Keeping the steering wheel straight, quelling the deep fear of going over the speed limit, took all the courage I had to offer. Like I had to do at age 13 to get over the tear-producing racking cough when I had my first cigarette. It took a lot of practice to get over that. I smoked Camels, Belairs, Pall Malls, and Marlboros for 30 years and quit because I was a backpacker, and a carton of Marlboros took up space that I wanted for food. I drove a Dodge, Plymouth, Studebaker, a Buick Estate Wagon with white fakeleather seats, then three versions of BMW (2002, Bavaria, and 633 CS), then a Honda Fit and, finally, the Mazda CX-3. I wrecked the last two, which is why I no longer drive. The comparison to giving up cigarettes is intentional. It’s very much like that. You think, “I could never do that.” And then, one day, you do it. When I tell folks I no longer drive, I get a sympathetic good-for-you look. It’s as if I’m somehow diminished and brave at the same time. Or they tell me their great-aunt is driving and she’s 93, just got her license renewed, “and she’s a terrible driver,” that I’m right to stop. The sympathetic look is saying, “Gee, it must be tough for you. How do you get

around? Poor guy.” Nobody said that when I quit smoking. There were no sympathetic good-for-you looks, it was simply my decision, accepted as such. It wasn’t as if I was giving up part of my life, which is what it was, because smoking, like driving, was the center of every day, work or play. Leaving the house, I patted my pockets to be sure I had a pack and a lighter. I made sure I had a carton ready; 21 days ago, it was my car key. We know now how tobacco companies helped us get to be addicts. Through a cloud of smoke, Bogie looked tough yet desirable. Bette Davis had a trick, drew a puff then released it and inhaled it through her nostrils. The about-to-beshot-at-sunrise hero got his last cigarette before they put on the blindfold. Media were their silent partner. Back then, magazine ads showing people in white coats telling us the filter stops the bad stuff. Ads showed sophisticated women with thin cigarettes, the Marlboro Man. The message we wanted to get was given to us: Do this, it’s safe, it’ll make you look like this. It’s not difficult to see how auto companies helped us get to be motorists. Cars saturated movies: Smooth guy drives a convertible, top down. Rich banker has a chauffeur and long limousine; I want to be him. The car chases with automobile acrobatics that are really computer-generated graphics but look real, I want to try that.

on fuel economy, seconds-to-65 mph, the rounded torso of style, the manliness of the pickup truck, and brands are social indicators. Did you notice the three BMWs I dropped in up there? My last auto was a Mazda CX-3. A week after I leased it, I became part of a family, newly adopted even though my last name was still Sosna, I was in “the Mazda family” that assumed I wanted to be a Mazda, get to know my Mazda siblings, the bulkier CX-5, the zippy Miata. As any family member wants the group to do well, I wanted Mazda to be great, and they sent me messages of success. How Mazda had developed a new fuel system, how Mazda sales were doing, the 2019 Mazda was going to be a new benchmark. I got advance peeks at it, then the unveiling—literally, removing a drape—of the 2019 Mazda. Wow. It looked pretty much like mine, gorgeous. Sure, I was seduced into it all, especially into getting the car in the first place. I was a prime john for it, telling myself that I live on a hill in Morro Bay, a small town with limited public transit. I have things I do in San Luis Obispo. I’ve had a car ever since I’ve lived here and used it almost every day, so I must really need it. And I’m 91 years old. Yes, I can walk but not as far or as easily as when I was 85. How would I ever get around without my car? I’ve found out how I get around. And how you can, too. I get around without paying $620 a year for gas or $60 for a membership to Costco for the “cheap” gas. And without paying $320 to the DMV for the car license, without paying $20 plus a tip for a car wash every other week, plus $45 every three months to keep the paint shiny. There’s also the $2,400 a year
for the lease and $920 a year for car insurance. I get around without trying to squeeze my car into the inadequate parking spaces at Smart & Final in San Luis Obispo, without trying to get the parking space closest to the entrance at Kennedy Club Fitness, without being upset at the boost in street parking fees in SLO. I get around without having to watch the car in front of my car and the car in back of my car and without worrying that if I pass the car on my right and get in front of it, the driver will think I’ve emasculated him and get into a game of Car War. I get around without worrying about the double-yellow line, the rumble strips on the freeway that make me feel like I’ve violated parole, the 25 mph speed limit in town and whether the cops really mean it—yes, they do. It takes a six-block walk and two buses to get from my house to San Luis Obispo. From there I can literally get to anywhere in the world: Buses go to Amtrak and the SLO County Regional Airport. My neighbor, Lucien, gives me a ride when he’s going where I want go, and I have friends who pick me up to get to Congregation Beth David, other friends who pick me up for an afternoon of food shopping. In a pinch, I use Lyft (it’s safe, I’m male) to get to SLO, at $35 each way it’s an ouch-pinch, so it has to be worth it. There are too many get-a-ride help services to list. Google Transit will show them to you, map out your routes, and offer you choices. It’s been 21 days without driving. I feel like some recovering alcoholics I hear tell about their journey: “It’s been suchand-such days that I’ve been sober.” ExCOMMENTARY continued page 13

smokers are prone to say, “Shoulda done it years ago.” Car drivers, not so much. They (the recent me) just keep on doing it, don’t think there’s another way to be, fill up the tank, rotate the tires, and drive on. There’s life after driving. It’s not heaven, not even the hereafter, but it’s there. (Full disclosure: In the two weeks since this was written, I’ve missed the last Morro Bay bus, had to walk 1.75 miles to get home, had been stood up twice by SeniorGo!, had spent six hours to get to and from the gym, with only one hour there. I hired an on-call car-and-driver.) ∆ Marvin Sosna is no longer a driver who lives in Morro Bay. Send comments through the editor at clanham@ newtimesslo.com.
Fifty years later
I took time on Jan. 27 to travel to Santa Barbara and attend the 50 Years After the Santa Barbara Oil Spill: A Call to Action event at the Arlington Theater, thinking I might learn something. Sadly, I watched a spectacle that evolved into a We Hate President Trump Festival. Speaker after speaker condemned various forms of energy production but offered no alternatives as to how our society should replace our energy needs, product delivery system, or tax base. Nope. It was just an attack on something that happened 50 years ago. Outside, in the theater entryway, a couple of dozen booths also offered nothing new. It appeared to be more of a fundraising effort. I did see one man outside on the sidewalk with a table with photos of many forms of sea life, which inhabit offshore oil rigs. Apparently this man, with decades of diving experience under the rigs, was not allowed inside the theater. I had to wonder: If these oil rigs are so toxic to the environment, how is it that they are so rich in living marine resources? Santa Barbara: This event was an embarrassing waste of time. I have to wonder too: Did the attendees walk, ride bikes, or drive to the event? Steven L. Rebuck San Luis Obispo
Oceano deserves an equal opportunity to comment
The city of Pismo Beach wants to build an advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (Central Coast Blue) in Oceano. This is a form of discriminatory land use that disproportionately overburdens Oceano, an underserved community, with inequitable distribution of environmental pollution. The state of California would call it a form of environmental injustice. Oceano has an excellent fresh water supply, does not have saltwater intrusion, and would not benefit from the presence of such plant on our wetland. The Oceano land on which Pismo wants to install its plant is coastal wetland. The California Coastal Commission ordered the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District to move its plant within 30 years because of sea level rise and high risk of flooding. Instead of starting the relocation as soon as possible, the Sanitation District, in concurrence with Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, and Pismo Beach,

When is the public going to be told the truth?
We were told that 22 Chorro St., the building located at the corner of Foothill and Chorro, would provide affordable workforce housing. We ended up with expensive luxury student apartments. We were told that 22 Chorro was made of two-bedroom apartments. These apartments are now advertised as four bedrooms. We were told 22 Chorro would provide badly needed housing. We ended up with apartments so expensive (about $1,300 per bed) that even students don’t want to live there, and the building is half empty. We were told that the low-income studios would attract a vast range of people. The truth is that no families, disabled persons, nor aged persons could live comfortably in a small studio among well-off students, and these studios are presently empty. We were told that these types of buildings could be turned into workforce housing later on. But all you have to do is look at the layout of 22 Chorro to know that you would have to gut each apartment and do it over to make it comfortable for families. The same nightmare is presently taking place at 71 Palomar Ave., with rents even higher than 22 Chorro. And the same thing is planned for 790 Foothill Blvd. When is the public going to be told the truth? And why is City Hall so eager to come to the rescue of developers while turning a deaf ear to all the residents’ concerns? Odile Ayral San Luis Obispo
A fresh look at Los Osos’ issues

Rhetoric&Reason
BY AL FONZI
The plague of false narrative “T he whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed—and hence clamorous to be led to safety—by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” –H.L. Mencken Our addiction to instant communications is doing grave harm to truth and the body politic. It’s effectively turning us against each other while subsuming truth under an avalanche of lies, false narratives that have the potential to destroy our society, culture, or even our nation. No more do we take the time to investigate the basis of an accusation or the underpinnings of an advocated policy. Last week, a group of teenage boys from a Covington Catholic High School were branded as racist thugs because the desire to be first led national media to incite a “Twitter lynch mob” against them. The truth emerged within a few days but a chastened media found it hard to retract false statements let alone apologize, instead attempting to find “something” that might justify their attack on a group of boys. Let’s be clear: These boys represent all that the national media purports to hate. They were primarily white males (there were several black students among them as well) at a pro-life rally, who attend a private Catholic school. And worst of all, they had the temerity to visibly wear that hated
symbol of President Trump, the “MAGA” hat in a public place! What’s not to hate? The media narrative initially reported that this group surrounded and harassed a Native American elder, blocked his way, shouted obscenities at him, and ridiculed him and his group celebrating Indigenous People’s Day on the National Mall. Twitter exploded as did the heads of numerous celebrities, including several reporters posing as objective anchors for national news organizations. What actually happened, if one watches the nearly two hours of recorded video, was that this group of youngsters had attended the Pro-Life National March for Life on a field trip to Washington, D.C. They had assembled on the Mall as directed to wait for their chartered buses to take them home. A hundred feet or so away was a group of five members of the Black Hebrew Israelites, a black-nationalist hate group that even the Southern Poverty Law Center condemns. This group, dating from the 19th century, openly advocates hatred of all whites, all Jews, all Christians of any flavor, including African-American Christians. This group spent nearly an hour berating first the Native American group and then re-directed their venom, heavily laced with profanity, obscene remarks, and sexual slurs, toward the Covington Catholic school group. The boys ignored them for most of an hour

for people 60-plus years old who want to create a better experience of aging. Members live in their own homes and benefit from volunteers who provide practical services to support independence (rides to the doctor, minor home repairs, walking companions). Members and volunteers come together as peers to create a purposeful and powerful space for living and learning as they take on the future. SLO Village is part of a grassroots national movement that creates connections with and between people age 60 and above.

that the Los Osos Community Services District never stops pressuring current residents to cut back on water use and allows water purveyors to increase their water consumption rates. If Los Osos is about 14,000 residents, adding another 5,000 represents about a 30 percent increase (potentially, at least) of this aquifer’s diminishing resource. The “cost effective” solutions—capturing runoff from Irish Hills and Los Osos creek, as well as the Warden Lake watershed, seem perfectly reasonable. The Los Osos Groundwater Committee ought to schedule some public meetings in which hydrologists, geologists, and other specialists can present evidence in support of extant resources. And other specialists on implications of development on infrastructure, such as increased traffic on Los Osos Valley Road, can be discussed. Michael Vella Los Osos

and then responded by conducting, with the permission of their chaperones, their school cheers to drown out the obscenities of the Black Hebrew Israelite group. Enter one Nathan Phillips from the indigenous peoples group. He deliberately walked over to the center of the group of boys, beating a drum, getting to within inches of the face of one boy who stood in silence, who said nothing to Phillips. Yes, the boy (age 16) smiled, but that was his nervous reaction to the aggression of Phillips. None of the boys made any insulting or aggressive remarks toward Phillips or his group. The media reported the boys were doing “tomahawk chops” to mock Phillips but none of the video records that accusation and there were multiple recordings made of the incident. An accusation isn’t evidence, but the media treated it as such. Phillips, who had earlier in the day attempted to disrupt a mass at a national Catholic shrine in D.C., describes himself as a Vietnam veteran who had been harassed by the boys. In fact, Phillips provided several contradictory versions of the event to media, but all of the video and audio refuted everything he said. He’s also not a Vietnam veteran but a poser engaging in stolen valor. In previous interviews, he claimed to be a “recon ranger” with the Marines in Vietnam but in actuality only served in the Marine Corps Reserve, not in combat but as a
refrigeration technician who never left the states. He served from 1972 to 1976, well after all Marine combat units had been withdrawn from Vietnam. Retired Navy Seal Don Shipley said that Phillips’ military records also indicate that he was AWOL (absent without leave) on multiple occasions and subject to repeated disciplinary actions. Yet he continues to lie about his service. The national media has found itself reluctant to repudiate him or the false narrative they created. The boys have been subjected to death threats along with their families and their school. A defamation suit is being pursued against some media and individuals on the boys’ behalf. As a nation, truth is becoming a routine casualty as an uninformed or misinformed public allows itself to be led down a primrose path, whether it’s an emotionally charged narrative of racism or accepting without question economic policies that will decimate the lives of millions. It’s time to wake up and step up; enough is enough or learn to “baa” like a sheep! ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder
Vexed and loving it! L ook hard enough and you’re guaranteed to find something to be indignant about! Nay, aggrieved! Outraged! Livid! Furious! Apoplectic! A smirking high school kid in a MAGA hat? Death threats! A Native American activist and veteran beating a drum? A liar who wasn’t in Vietnam! A statue of 26th President Teddy Roosevelt in Mitchell Park? Too white and penisy! Cutting down trees? It’s a treeapocalypse! An alleged brown-skinned murderer? Illegal alien run amok! As a wise dude once said, “Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.” I mean seriously! Can we all take a collective chill pill for a freakin’ second! We’re so ready to find offence behind every word, look, idea, meme, or video snippet that we’ve lost our collective minds! The whole Covington High School kids vs. Nathan Phillips illustrates this perfectly. A video clip comes out that appears to show disrespectful kids mocking a Native American elder, and the left loses its shit! More video comes out making it look like Phillips was the aggressor, and the right loses its shit! Guess what? You’re both wrong, and now neither side is willing to say, “I jumped to conclusions and am too proud to come off my stance,” even though there’s plenty of blame to go around. Former SLO City Councilmember
John “Teddy Lover” Ashbaugh suggests honoring Theodore “Panama Overthrow” Roosevelt, who famously said, “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indians are the dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every 10 are,” with a bronze statue by formerly local artist Paula Zima, and SLO Mayor Heidi “F-Bomb” Harmon freaks out on Facebook. “Wondering why we need more monuments of white men at this point,” she wrote. “Is it not way past time to honor a border group? We have no monument whatsoever to any women in this beautiful city. I just don’t understand why we continue to put all of our resources into only lifting up white men and there’s close to zero resources put into white women or people of color whatsoever in terms of monuments, etc.” Um, look, other than the weirdly buff statue of Shakespeare’s Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Downtown Centre and Albert Einstein sitting on a bench at Cal Poly, I can’t think of any statues of white men in SLO, though we do have Zima’s statue of the Native American mother and child in the SLO Mission Plaza, the Chinese rail workers by the train station, and that incongruous Plains Indian statue at the corner of Prado and S. Higuera. Is Heidi really mad about the idea of a Roosevelt statue or trying to get some
publicity with her “I’m fighting the man” stance? She seemed pretty miffed that no one noticed she was quoted dropping the F-bomb in a Rolling Stone article about Bernie Sanders, in which she describes climate change as an existential threat (which it is, I don’t deny!). “‘I have two kids, and they’re going to fucking die if we don’t fix all this. That’s how I look at it,’ is how Heidi Harmon, the colorful mayor of San Luis Obispo, put it,” Matt Taibbi wrote in his story titled “Yes, Bernie Should Run.” The story hit newsstands on Dec. 19, and more than a month later Harmon posted on Facebook, “I have hesitated to share this Rolling Stone article that I was quoted in as I recognize that ‘Prominent woman says curse word’ has become a news genre unto itself.” Um, who cares? No one! It’s not like you’re Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib saying of President Donald “Kid Cager” Trump, “We’re going to impeach the motherfucker!” Also, who cares? And can everyone please stop acting as if cutting down a grove of cat-pisssmelling non-native eucalyptus trees across from Laguna Lake is the end of Mother Earth as we know her? Am
I the only office appliance who’s been getting letters for months telling me tree removal is coming? Non-native species will be removed, the letters warned. Hey, folks, don’t throw out your mail! Pick up a newspaper! This has been coming down the pike, and it shouldn’t be a surprise. Get mad about 580 new houses you can’t afford! Pick your battles! Unless you’re in the North County. Then, by all means, lose your mind wondering if Carlo Alberto Fuentes Flores, alleged murderer of Nancy Woodrum, is a legal or illegal resident of the U.S. I know it would fit perfectly into your Trump-praising anti-immigration position if Flores was some evil illegal, but can’t he just be evil … allegedly? Does it matter if the man who’s been working in the U.S. for years painting your houses and fixing your broken fences is documented or not? Quit looking for something to pounce on, to prove you’re right and your sworn enemy—who’s a fellow American, just sayin’—is wrong! Ask yourself whose interest is it in to divide us. Ask yourself where the common ground lies, how we can compromise, and make America strong again! Everything doesn’t have to be a DosAngrys advertisement: “I don’t always drink the Kool-Aid™, but when I do, I get irrationally pissed off over nothing! Stay angry, my friends!” ∆ The Shredder reminds you to be careful, man. There’s a beverage here! Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Two Bob Marley birthday shows come to SLO County
O
n Feb. 6, Bob Marley would have turned 74 if he hadn’t passed in 1981. Nearly 40 years after his death—longer than the 36 years he spent on Earth—people worldwide still gather to celebrate the man, his music, and his message: “If you’re white and you’re wrong, then you’re wrong; if you’re black and you’re wrong, you’re wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green—God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now. “Better to die fighting for freedom than be a prisoner all the days of your life. “I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool. “Me only have one ambition, y’know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together—black, white, Chinese, everyone—that’s all. “Conquer the devils with a little thing called love. “The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. “Live the life you love. Love the life you live.” Two local Bob Marley celebrations are planned this week. Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents has booked One Drop Redemption—The Premiere Bob Marley Experience into Morro Bay’s The Siren on Friday, Feb. 1 (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $16 at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $20 at the door). Local act The Kicks will open. Longtime reggae musicians Gordon “Suba Dread” Brooks, Jeff Douglas, and Terrell Smith formed One Drop Redemption in 2005.

PLAYING FOR BOB One Drop Redemption brings their Bob Marley-inspired sounds to The Siren on Feb. 1.
According to their bio, “In these last days, we want to represent ‘redemption’ like our name says. Every man, woman, and youth is blessed with this possibility. We live in a time where choices are available to all. We’re here to empower all who willing to listen.” Over at the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Saturday, Feb. 2, check out Resination, Ras Danny, and True Zion (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $10 at slobrew.com). Fronted by Vance Fahie, Resination is one of SLO County’s premiere roots, rock, and reggae acts. Ras Danny is a longtime SLO resident but originally hails from Trenchtown, Kingston, Jamaica, and was Bob Marley’s protégé. In fact, he started the annual Trenchtown Bob Marley Birthday & Life Celebration at Trenchtown Culture Yard in 1982 with a few of his friends a year after Bob’s untimely passing. He returns to Jamaica regularly, where he donates instruments and his time in helping Trenchtown youth carry on Marley’s musical legacy. He’s playing with his touring band. Local reggae trio True Zion will open the show. Make Bob proud!

PHOTOS COURTESY OF BARON WOLMAN
aron Wolman describes himself as a “former minor celebrity.” It’s a humble enough epithet for the man who was the first photographer ever for the legendary Rolling Stone magazine. Since then, Wolman has gone on to start his own fashion magazine, open a publishing company, and shoot photos for the NFL. But some of his best-known work is still from those 2 1/2 at the start of Rolling Stone. Wolman’s covers, music portraits, and concert photos of icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, and Frank Zappa are now on display at the San Luis Obispo Library as part of the Backstage Pass: Baron Wolman and the Early Years of Rolling Stone exhibit. Wolman spoke with New Times about photography, music, and trying new things.

Beach noir W riter-director Steven Knight (Redemption, Locke) helms this thriller about fishing boat captain Baker Dill (Matthew McConaughey), whose tranquil life is disrupted when his ex-wife, Karen (Anne Hathaway), finds him and weaves a desperate tale about her abusive new husband, Frank (Jason Clarke), who’s not only threatening her, but her and Baker’s son, Patrick (Rafael Sayegh). Karen’s solution is a fishing excursion that will leave her new husband to the sharks. Is Dill in? Is Karen’s story all it seems to be? (106 min.)
Glen I’ll give Serenity this: It’s very original! It’s got a twist you can tell is coming, but when it comes, it’s not what you expect. Unfortunately, it’s also not very fulfilling, and if you think too hard about it, it makes very little sense. The real question, I guess, is whether the first twothirds of the film are interesting enough to suffer through the last third. The heart of the story is Baker Dill, whose real name is John. He’s hiding out on Plymouth, a tropical fishing island, where he takes tourists out on his boat, Serenity, so they can get drunk on beer and maybe—if they’re lucky—snag a tuna. Dill’s problem— well, one of them—is his obsession with catching a giant tuna he’s named Justice. Paying customers be damned, if he thinks Justice has been hooked on one of his lines, he’s going to reel him in. He’s had the giant fish on the hook four times, but every time he thinks the fish is played-out and ready to be gaffed into the boat, it snaps the line and escapes. On shore after a day of fishing,

Sure, he deserves it, but Dill— an Iraq War vet—is a decent man, not a killer. The linchpin is Dill’s son, Patrick, a sensitive computer prodigy who, like Karen, is under threat.

Director Tatsuya Nagamine helms this animated action-adventure set in writer Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball universe. The film starts before the events of both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, during the destruction of Planet Vegeta, home world to the Saiyans. Luckily for them, Saiyans Goku (voiced by Sean Schemmel) and Vegeta (voiced by Christopher Sabat) are off-world by the time their planet comes to an end. Little do they know how much their destinies are bound to collide. The destroyer of Planet Vegeta is the coldblooded Frieza (voiced by Christopher Ayres). If you didn’t grow up with an action figure of this guy, then I’m sorry to tell you that you didn’t have a real childhood. Decades later, after Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and smack dab in the middle of Dragon Ball Super, the now twice-resurrected Frieza might finally have the right resource at his disposal to defeat his sworn enemy, Goku, once and for all. And that weapon’s name is Broly (voiced by Vic Mignogna). This powerful Saiyan was also off-world during his home planet’s collapse. His father, Paragus (voiced by Damien Clarke), raised him to be a vicious fighter and primed him to someday take revenge on the race that ostracized them, forcing them to leave Planet Vegeta. After finding out Goku and Vegeta are the only two surviving Saiyans left, Paragus teams up with Frieza to prep Broly to destroy them. I feel like the best compliment I can give Dragon Ball Super: Broly is that this is the Dragon Ball movie I’ve somehow always wanted without realizing I ever wanted it in the first place. Although I’ve only seen a few episodes of the current Dragon Ball series, Dragon Ball Super, I’m proud to say I’ve seen every episode of Dragon Ball Z more than once. I’m grateful that this film still felt completely accessible to me, but I’m curious how people with zero Dragon Ball experience will react. Nagamine, Toriyama, and company really

Jackson as Elijah Price, and James McAvoy as Kevin Wendell Crumb, a man with 24 personalities. The three are meshed together in a psychiatric ward to rid them of their superhuman delusions while Elijah has a plan of his own to bring the comic book plot to life. We’re so used to superheroes that have some sort of connection to a mythical god and are destined for greatness. These heroes are based on comic books’ stories, but Shyamalan based his trilogy on the structure of the comic books themselves. He has a totally different take on his superheroes: They’re just people. (129 min.) —Karen Garcia

here are some 50,000 species of mushrooms you could be eating. Yet, my guess is you’re only barely scraping the surface of the fungal forest floor. Today, the most commonly consumed variety is the button mushroom, or Agaricus bisporus, which makes up about 40 percent of the mushrooms grown around the world. Nothing against the oft-ordered pizza topping, but there’s a big, fungal world out there. This earthy realm of swirling stems, caps, and threadlike roots awaits with delicious, mysterious, and—on occasion—intoxicating results. Mushroom expert Christian Schwarz of Santa Cruz wants to open up that portal and be your guide through the thrilling, satisfying (and potentially hazardous) world of seasonal mushroom hunting.

Schwarz is a mushroom enthusiast and taxonomist from Santa Cruz, the land of milk (caps) and honey (mushrooms). He studied at UCSC, and now spends his time photographing, teaching about, and capturing scientific collections of macrofungi. He is also coauthor of the book Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast, and is slowly building a mycoflora—the fungi characteristic of a region or special environment—for Santa Cruz County. Yes, he is one of those lucky dogs who truly gets paid to do what he loves most. With their seemingly endless forms,

come before the dinner bell. “If you’re going to collect wild mushrooms to eat, you are already in the business of recognizing and identifying mushrooms,” he said. “There aren’t many deadly ones, but, between the ones you want to eat and the ones you want to avoid, there are about 20 species you should learn.” Of course, this should not be a “scary” proposition. Think of it this way: Can you safely identify the difference between a carrot and a turnip? Great. Then you can probably identify a toxic mushroom from its yummy, nutritious counterpart. With a bit of expert know-how, you’ll be off to the hillsides running. “I’ve known many people who start to hunt mushrooms for food reasons, but then they really get into it. When you are out picking mushrooms, you are searching through other stuff, too. A significant percent of people start wondering about what those other things are,” Schwarz said. “Some get a field guide or join a club. This is how it begins.” Yes, this is how understanding the basic 20 mushroom list turns into being able to spot 50 mushrooms to knowing about (and hunting for) hundreds of species. But picking mushrooms for dinner isn’t just intellectually stimulating (or, for some, addicting). It’s also a sustainable way to amp up your dinner, when done correctly. Schwarz underscored a huge point: When you pick mushrooms you don’t destroy the organism. You are merely picking the “fruit” of the fungi. Even in regions where SLO’s famously meaty chanterelles are heavily plucked, they will return, given good environmental factors. Not to say that mushroom hunters shouldn’t follow a few rules, all of which will be discussed at the upcoming event. FLAVOR continued page 41

Flavor FLAVOR from page 39
Overhunting a particular area can damage future shroom production, as soil becomes too compacted. It’s also a total no-no to pick everything in sight, then discard the mushrooms you don’t plan on eating. Not only does this provide a bummer for hikers who pass after you on the trail, but it’s just plain disruptive to the web of life. “Mushrooms are the best organisms on the planet to get people outside and interested in a wild organisms and nature; fungi ties people to ecology, to the land, and to healthy forests,” Schwarz said. “Plus, it’s way less boring than fishing and less dangerous than hunting. It does not require long distance hiking, and it is extremely accessible. You can mushroom pick with the grandkids.” In places like Germany, mushroom hunting is an unofficial national pastime; a huge joy for young and old. In America, knowledge is growing ever so slowly. It’s taken about 15 years, but folks are catching on. For true mushroom heads, the Central Coast represents an exciting meeting point for Northern and Southern California varieties to merge. Where else can you head out on a hike and return home with not just chanterelle, but also porcini, lion’s mane, oyster, bear’s head— even milky caps, shaggy manes, blewits, meadow, cauliflower, candy cap, and shaggy parasol varieties? A little rinse, a little garlic, a little EVOO, and you’ve prepared your meal. “The Central Coast, in particular, has really exploded in terms of interest. A couple people [who] have arrived at their love of fungi just started talking to neighbors and friends, and this acted as nuclei of which sprang a whole network of people, some of whom have found brand new mushroom species,” Schwarz said. Truly, anyone can discover these enchanting, wild organisms. “Kids are low to the ground so they are good mushroom hunters,” Schwarz said. “In the grand scheme of things, we still know so little about fungi. You could very well be the next one to contribute to the science.” Or the dinner table, I might add. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain believes mushrooms are magic. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

We do our best to get it right, but sometimes we get it wrong. In the Jan. 24 Flavor column about the Broad Street Public House, the article incorrectly stated the names of the business’ co-owners.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: March 5, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE The San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) will hold Public Hearings on March 6, 2019 and April 3, 2019, to receive public testimony on the Draft 2019 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), Corresponding Draft Conformity Analysis and Determination, and Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Review (PEIR). The 2019 RTP is SLOCOG’s long range regional transportation plan for each mode of transportation. The plan identifies financial projections through 2045 and the SLOCOG Board of Directors’ priorities on specific projects expected to be accomplished. The plan contains the documentation to support a finding that the 2019 RTP and SCS meet the air quality conformity requirements for ozone. This long range “plan” can be amended at any time by the SLOCOG Board. The RTP serves as a foundation for the development of the shorter “action” plans called the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), which satisfies California transportation planning requirements, and the federal counterpart referred to as the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) for all transportation projects that require federal approval or are “regionally significant.” A recent addition to the RTP is the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), first fully included as an element of the 2014 RTP/SCS in response to Senate Bill 375 - the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008. The SCS is intended to reduce the passenger vehicle greenhouse gas emissions associated with the plan. The 55-day public review and comment period opens February 9, 2019 and ends April 6, 2019 for the RTP, SCS, and Conformity Analysis. All information pertaining to these documents will be posted for the duration of the review period on the SLOCOG website at: https://slocog.org/2019RTP The draft PEIR provides an analysis of potential environmental impacts related to the implementation of the 2019 RTP and SCS as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The 45-day public review and comment period for the EIR will begin February 19, 2019 and ends on April 6, 2019. All information pertaining to this document will be posted for the duration of the review period on the SLOCOG website at: https://slocog.org/2019RTP Individuals wishing accessibility accommodations at this meeting, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), may request such accommodations to aid hearing, visual, or mobility impairment (including Limited English Proficiency [LEP]) by contacting SLOCOG offices at 781-4219. Please note that 48 hours advance notice is needed to honor your request. Please refer to www.slocog.org for the meeting agenda and further information. The hearings will be held during the SLOCOG Board meetings that begin at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6, 2019, in the County Board of Supervisors’ Chambers, County Government Center, 1055 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, California and on Wednesday April 3, 2019 at the Atascadero City Hall, Council Chambers, 6500 Palma Avenue, Atascadero. Comments are welcome on the draft 2019 RTP at the two hearings. Comments are also welcome on the draft PEIR, a separate item, at the same two hearings. The SLOCOG Board of Directors will consider the adoption of the 2019 RTP and SCS, PEIR, and Conformity Analysis on June 5, 2019. For more information, write to SLOCOG, 1114 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401, or contact James Worthley (805) 788-2002, or email at jworthley@slocog.org. January 31, 2019

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 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.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869 CLEAR RECON CORP 4375 Jutland Drive San Diego, California 92117.
