County begins hearings to shut down Cal Valley cannabis grows

IMAGE COURTESY OF SLO COUNTY

T

he San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors chambers split into halves on May 25, much like a courtroom.

On the left side, county code enforcement and legal staff huddled together, exchanging words and paperwork. On the right side, five cannabis farmers from the California Valley sat quietly side by side.

Their lawyer spoke for them.

“Most the people don’t speak English well enough to testify,” Alan Karow, a Santa Barbara-based attorney, told Gregory Gillett, the appointed hearing officer—one of six SLO County retained to oversee ongoing cannabis enforcement cases.

The hearing is the second of many scheduled to address cannabis cultivation in Cal Valley (near the Carrizo Plain), where grows had proliferated in prior years without any rules or regulations, but where all commercial cannabis cultivation is now banned by county ordinance.

The county’s goal is to enforce the ordinance allowing 141 cultivators to continue growing on specifically zoned land. The Board of Supervisors established a separate hearing process to handle cannabis cases more expeditiously than a bona fide court.

“We’re trying to create a level playing field for people who are properly [growing],” Tim McNulty, of the SLO County Counsel’s Office, told New Times.

While Gillett reviewed only five cannabis grow sites on May 25, Karow said he represents a group of 50 to 60 growers, who had moved their families to Cal Valley “with a dream.” He believes many are of Hmong descent.

“It’s a community that saw a vision out there,” Karow told New Times. “These weren’t hippies sneaking out into the woods. These are people who bought property.”

During the hearing, county attorney Brian Stack showed Gillett several photos of the

CANNABIS CRACKDOWN Five Cal Valley cannabis growers face abatement and fines after a May 25 county hearing.

subject cannabis grows taken during prior code enforcement inspections—inside greenhouses or hoop houses, surrounded by black mesh fencing, and backdropped by the remote landscape of the Cal Valley.

“Cannabis is being grown in violation of county code,” he said. “It’s a prohibited use and deemed a public nuisance and subject to abatement and imposition of administrative fines.”

The county asked Gillett to issue an order giving the growers two days to clean up the site, and approve a $100 per plant per day fine and other administrative fees.

Karow argued for an extended time frame

to allow the growers more time to chart their future. He said the county didn’t send a clear signal that cultivation wouldn’t be permitted in Cal Valley, citing emergency regulations county supervisors passed in 2016 that allowed Cal Valley growers to continue cultivating temporarily.

“It’s been the Wild West in California for the last five years,” Karow said. “All these people are really asking for is a reasonable time to get out of there. ... They just want an opportunity to leave without their family losing everything.”

As of press time, Gillett had not issued a ruling on the cases. Δ —Peter Johnson

Democratic ‘voter guide’ tells Nipomo Dems to vote for Compton

SLO Republican Party, is also listed on the mailer.

SLO County Democratic Party Chair Rosemary Wrenn said that the mailer in question wasn’t paid for or associated with the party, which sent its own voter-guide mailer endorsing Paulding over Compton. Wrenn said the party’s office was “bombarded” with calls about the mailer. Speaking to New Times, Wrenn raised concerns that such mailers might trick voters by appearing to be an official guide from the party.

“It’s so deceptive,” she said. “People are looking for information, but not everyone has the time to go really in depth, so they look to these as a resource. Things like this are made to look official, but they aren’t. … It’s a pet peeve of mine.”

The mailer was created by Voter Guide Slate Cards, a company that has created similar mailers for partisan and nonpartisan elections in the past. Examples of past voter guides on its website show that the Nipomo mailer isn’t the first time the company has included Republican candidates in guides aimed at Democratic voters. A 2016 Democratic Voter Guide on the company’s website told Los Angeles County Democratic voters to cast ballots for Democratic

Democrats in Nipomo were left scratching their heads after receiving a so-called “Democratic Voter Guide” telling them to vote for a Republican in the highly competitive race for SLO County 4th District supervisor.

While SLO County’s Democratic Party has endorsed challenger Jimmy Paulding for the seat, a mailer created by a Long Beach-based company not affiliated with the party lists incumbent supervisor Lynn Compton, a conservative who has both the support and endorsement of the SLO County Republican Party, instead.

The guide does include some Democratic Party candidates running for state and local office the June 5 primary. Compton is included along with Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Chiang, as well as SLO County Sheriff candidate Greg Clayton and SLO County District Attorney candidate Judge Mike Cummins, both of whom are actually sponsored by the county Democratic Party.

by Jayson Mellom biased position in opposition to permitting any new short-term vacation rentals in his district,” Tacker wrote in her complaint. “He is especially vocal about them in the communities of Cayucos and Cambria where he owns property.”

The votes under scrutiny include decisions on two vacation rental applications on Pacific Avenue—about 1,300 feet from his residence—and on Bakersfield Avenue, a little less than a mile from his residence. Tacker’s partner, real estate agent Jeff Edwards, represented the applicants for both Pacific Avenue vacation rentals.

If Gibson’s votes are ruled a conflict of interest, he could receive a fine and/or be barred from voting on future vacation rentals in Cayucos.

The company did not respond to a request for comment from New Times. The mailer sent to Nipomo Democrats, as well as others created by the same company, include a disclaimer that the guide is not from an official political party. Candidates or measures that authorized and paid to be included in the guide are marked by an asterisk, according to the disclaimer. The Nipomo mailer features asterisks next to Compton’s name, as well as Bordonaro’s, Clayton’s, and Cummins’.

When asked about Comtpon’s appearance on the mailer, Justin Salters, a campaign consultant for Compton, noted that the 4th District supervisorial seat is a nonpartisan office.

“Lynn Compton’s campaign for re-election has sought out various opportunities to communicate with all voters, regardless of political party, to demonstrate Lynn’s qualifications for office, her broad-based community support, and her record of supporting the working families and businesses of the 4th District,” Salters wrote in an email response to questions from New Times.

“That includes appearing on various slate mailers sent to voters residing in the 4th District.”

Arroyo Grande questions Oceano’s funding for the Five Cities Fire Authority

Arroyo Grande City Council voted 4-1 on May 29 to approve the Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA) memorandum of agreement, with a lot of hesitation about its partner Oceano.

The memorandum spells out how the three communities—Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Oceano—will continue to move forward in amending the current joint powers agreement to fund the fire authority.

According to the agreement for the 2018-19 fiscal year, Arroyo Grande will contribute $2.5 million, Grover Beach will pay nearly $1.8 million, and Oceano will put forth $987,362. The three entities have until April 1, 2019, to agree on efforts to amend the joint powers agreement. Without unanimous agreement, it will be terminated on Dec. 31 of that year.

At its May 23 district board meeting, the Oceano Community Services District recognized that projected revenues for the 2018-19 fiscal year would be insufficient to cover its portion of the FCFA operating expenditures. The district is considering a revenue measure to increase available funding.

Arroyo Grande Mayor Jim Hill and Councilmember Tim Brown brought up Oceano’s insufficient funds during the May 29 City Council meeting.

“If past experiences are any predictor, I think we’re just spinning our wheels if we think Oceano is going to be able to do something that we couldn’t pull off,” Brown said. “No disrespect to Oceano, it’s just the harsh reality that people don’t like tax increases.”

With trepidation on Brown’s end, he along with Councilmembers Kristen Barneich, Barbara Harmon, and Mayor

Pro Tem Caren Ray approved the memorandum with Hill dissenting.

Brown’s comments didn’t sit well with Oceano Community Services District Board President Karen White. She told New Times that the district is short of funding, but it also knows that having the FCFA is economical and the best option for the community, so it’s looking into all funding aspects.

“His implication that we couldn’t pass the bond issue, the tax increase, I was very disappointed. I wish he wouldn’t speak for Oceano,” White said. “We will hold up our end of the bargain.”

Oceano drafted the memorandum that was approved by the FCFA. The Oceano Community Services District approved it at its May 23 meeting. The memorandum is awaiting approval from the Grover Beach City Council.

Supervisor Gibson’s vacation rental votes to be reviewed for potential conflict

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) will investigate whether recent votes cast by San Luis Obispo County 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson to deny vacation rentals licenses in Cayucos, where he lives, violated conflict-of-interest laws, according to the state agency.

6 • New Times • May 31 - June 7, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

Los Osos resident Julie Tacker filed the complaint against Gibson with the FPPC in April. Tacker alleged that Gibson’s votes on Cayucos vacation rentals could impact his property value, and therefore presented a conflict of interest.

On May 10, the FPPC responded that it would investigate the allegation to determine if any violation occurred.

“Be advised that we have not made any determination about the validity of the allegation or about the culpability of the person you identify in your complaint,” the FPPC’s response read.

Gibson, who’s running for re-election on June 5, denied Tacker’s allegation and forwarded New Times a letter he sent to the FPPC in response to her complaint.

“No evidence suggests that my property is at all affected by granting or denying a vacation rental permit,” Gibson wrote.

“I therefore conclude that any asserted effect on my property is only speculative, hypothetical, or theoretical.”

Most vacation rental licenses in SLO County are issued administratively over the counter, but, if denied, they can be appealed to the Board of Supervisors.

Gibson has openly opposed the expansion of vacation rental homes in Cayucos—a community with the most vacation rentals per capita in all unincorporated SLO, according to public records—for their neighborhood impacts.

“Mr. Gibson has taken a strong and

After security costs for two visits by a right-wing provocateur cost more than $150,000, Cal Poly’s academic senate may recommend limiting just how much of the bill the university will foot for similar events in the future.

The proposed resolution recommends that Cal Poly cap the university’s share of security costs for speakers invited by student clubs at $5,000. Should the amount exceed the cap, it would be the sponsoring club’s responsibility to pay the remainder.

The resolution was set to go before the academic senate at a May 29 meeting, according to Mustang News, but was rescheduled to the senate’s next meeting on June 5.

The university’s policy about security costs for speakers came under a microscope after visits by former breitbart.com editor Milo Yiannopoulos in 2017 and 2018. According to the proposed resolution, the university spent more than $55,000 on security when the Cal Poly College Republicans club invited Yiannopoulos to speak on campus in January 2017, with SLO city spending an additional $9,000-plus for security. When the College Republicans and another student club, Turning Point USA, invited Yiannopoulos and two other “alt-right” personalities back to campus for a “fake news” panel in April, Cal Poly and the CSU system spent a total of $86,200 for security at the event.

“The university’s policies should be amended to institute responsible limits to the financial burden that the university is willing to pay to assist student clubs and inviting speakers,” the proposed resolution states.

Academic senate chair Dustin Stegner noted that, if passed, the resolution would only be an advisory recommendation.

It would be up to University President Jeffrey Armstrong to decide whether or not to move forward with implementing it.

“The president can choose to either accept or decline,” Stegner said.

60 Now County to expand successful homeless program, but leaves pricier solutions on the backburner

S

ince “50 Now” launched in 2014, the Transitions Mental Health Association (TMHA) program that permanently houses 50 of the most vulnerable homeless individuals in San Luis Obispo County proved that it could cut clients’ hospital visits in half and virtually eliminate trips to jail after one year.

The successful “housing-first” program will expand in its fifth year. The SLO County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on May 15 to add 10 beds to 50 Now in the next fiscal year, following a robust staff presentation on homelessness that outlined significant shortages in both housing and case management support for the chronically homeless.

“Most of the new programs we’ve been able to create have been rapid re-housing programs—with the exception of 50 Now,” Laurel Weir, director of homeless services for SLO County, told New Times. “There is a need to do something specifically around chronic homelessness. There’s just a real shortage of permanent supportive housing for those folks.”

SLO County has more than 300 known chronically homeless individuals—a label loosely defined as someone who’s been homeless for at least one year and has a disability. Statewide, cities and counties are moving toward a housing-first model to address chronic homelessness, which prioritizes getting roofs over heads before other services. But SLO is sorely lacking the housing infrastructure to implement that model. A recent LA Times analysis showed that SLO County has a higher rate of unsheltered homeless (about 70 percent) than the San Francisco and San Diego areas, and about equal to Los Angeles’ rate.

cannabis business types to establish in the city, the SLO City Council will now decide how it wants to tax the new industry.

On June 5, the City Council will review a proposed cannabis tax measure and decide whether to place it on the November general election ballot. As it’s drafted, the measure taxes cannabis retailers 6 percent on gross receipts and cultivators $7 per square foot of canopy per year. It also taxes cannabis manufacturers and processors 2.5 percent on gross receipts; distribution businesses, 2 percent; and testing labs, 1 percent.

The tax would take effect on Jan. 1, 2019. By 2022, the City Council could increase those taxes to 10 percent for dispensaries; $10 per square foot of canopy for cultivators; 4 percent for manufacturers; 3 percent for distributors; and 2.5 percent for testers.

SLO structured its cannabis ordinance so that pot businesses can’t open until voters pass a tax measure.

The city expects to receive $100,000 in cannabis tax revenue in 2018-19, and

GETTING A TRIM A woman receives a complimentary haircut from Supercuts at a MASH (Mobile Assistance and Services Addressing Homelessness) event in the SLO Vets’ Hall on May 24.

Supervisors weighed the homeless needs with a looming budget deficit of $3.6 million for next year—which exists in part because of expensive health care reforms at the county jail—and ultimately agreed to expand 50 Now at a $106,000 price tag and leave more expensive solutions to the future.

“Even in this difficult budget year, we have to make some commitment to do better than we have,” 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson said.

Weir and the county’s Homeless Services Oversight Council, made up of elected officials and service providers countywide, provided the supervisors with an extensive list of measures that could improve the landscape of homeless services. Building and acquiring more housing units for the chronically homeless is at the top of the list.

The supes expressed interest in the concept of converting an existing hotel or other residential building into a homeless facility. First District Supervisor John Peschong referenced a similar project in Yolo County that’s proven effective for the chronically homeless.

“There’s a model there for success,” Peschong said. “This is a lot of money obviously, but it’s something I do think is thinking outside the box.”

Weir’s report also identified a need for more case management—specifically to replace nine case manager positions recently eliminated due to a loss in federal funding, including two to serve families fleeing from domestic violence.

“There’s a significant backlog of families waiting for that kind of assistance,” Weir said.

Funding will continue to be the key hurdle to implementation. The case managers are estimated to cost a total of $600,000 per year, while Weir’s long-term recommendation of 21 more case managers came in at $1.5 million. Building up the local inventory of housing units was pegged at $300,000 to $500,000 per unit.

Third District Supervisor Adam Hill said solving the funding issue is mostly a matter of the board’s priorities, suggesting that the county could consider bond financing to tackle homelessness with more capital.

“These problems will not go away if we don’t put more resources into them,” Hill said. “We can’t be happy where we are. We have not made the progress that we need to make.” ∆

$1.5 million annually after the industry ramps up.

The ballot question on the tax measure states that the tax will “maintain and improve essential city services” including police and fire; senior, youth, and park services; and “programs to retain and attract local jobs and address homelessness.”

As a general tax, it would need a simple majority vote to pass.

SAY IT LOUD Students gathered on April 13 in protest of the Lambda Chi Alpha member that donned blackface at a brotherhood event.

A campus divided Years of racially charged incidents on campus and a lack of diversity cause the university to take a deeper look at its campus community

BY KAREN GARCIA • PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM

F

elipe Garcia remembers the first time he heard about California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo. A former high school teacher recommended Cal Poly if Garcia wanted to pursue a career in engineering.

“He told me Cal Poly has a great reputation for engineering, and the words he used were ‘more bang for your buck,’” Garcia said. “He was a great teacher so I took his word for it.”

At the time, he was bouncing the idea of several universities off of his teacher who taught an engineering course, a class that Garcia was interested in at the time. Garcia was raised in Modesto and was the first in his family to think about applying to a university.

“I’m a first-generation student,” Garcia said. “I didn’t know what questions to ask. I didn’t know why I would want to go to a certain college or university.”

That was five years ago. Garcia is now a fourth-year student at Cal Poly with an opinion of his own about the university and a different major. He recently switched his major from architectural engineering to psychology.

“I think it’s more important, for me, to understand people than to understand the makeup of a building,” he said.

The switch came after experiencing a disconnect with other students on campus, and recent racially charged incidents at the university only solidified his choice. Throughout his four years, Garcia said he found it difficult to connect with other students. He said it’s because of the constant micro aggressions— the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights or insults—against him and his peers as well as the racist incidents that happen on campus.

“If you’re trying to carry your culture with you, it’s not going to be accepted—in

my opinion,” he said.

In order to find a place where Garcia felt he belonged, he joined the Latino fraternity Gamma Zeta Alpha when he was a freshman. The fraternity focuses on Latino interests but it’s not Latino exclusive, Garcia said, so the members of the fraternity are all of different races and ethnicities.

“That fraternity was able to get me through a whole bunch of this mess,” he said referring to recent racially charged incidents on campus.

Garcia said he and many other students, especially minorities or students of color, haven’t felt unity or support from their peers or members of the administration. In the past few years, a number of acts of racism have taken place on and off campus, drawing criticism of the university and its culture.

The breaking point for some students, though, was in April, when a Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity member wore blackface at a brotherhood event. The incident gained national media coverage and criticism, leading the university to review its policies on diversity and inclusion, student protests, and a conversation about what free speech means on a public university campus.

Attempting change

In 2008, a crop science house on Cal Poly’s campus put a noose, Confederate flag, and a sign with racial and gay slurs in front of the building.

In 2013, an off-campus fraternity and sorority party had the theme “Colonial Bros and Nava-Hos.” In 2015, the Cal Poly College Republicans posted a free speech wall, on which students wrote Islamophobic, transphobic, racist, and sexist messages.

In 2016, the Cal Poly College

Republicans put up another free speech wall with similar results. That year in Poly Canyon Village a racial, homophobic slur was written on a student’s door.

In 2017, a photo of Alpha Gamma Rho members wearing culturally appropriating outfits circulated on Twitter.

In January 2018, flyers with racial statements about African-Americans regarding domestic violence, homicides, and assault were posted on campus.

On April 7 of this year, Lambda Chi Alpha held a gangster-themed party where member Kyler Watkins painted his face black and wore a black beanie and shirt. It was the same weekend as the university’s Poly Cultural Weekend—an event for prospective students to explore academic, cultural, and social resources at the university. A photo of Watkins circulated on social media, receiving local and national media coverage. In the weeks that followed, the university placed all of Greek life on interim suspension, but it wasn’t solely because of the blackface incident.

According to university spokesperson Matt Lazier, other incidents involving fraternities—including racially charged and insensitive events as well as sexual assaults, hazings, an alcohol-related

death, and violations of the university’s code of conduct regarding hosting social events—led to the university’s decision.

Since April 7, Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong has addressed the university community via email, social media, discussion forums, and a video address.

“I was disgusted that this sort of image was coming from someone in our campus community. I was angry and frustrated to see such a display of insensitivity, and I was pained by the thoughts of the members of our community who would be affected by the image,” Armstrong told New Times in an email.

The blackface incident and the fallout, Armstrong said, only make him feel resolved to continue working toward improving the campus climate.

“I want us to be cognizant of the fact that we have already made great strides in improving our diversity and inclusion—and that even in the face of these positive steps, we always must keep inclusion at the top of our minds and constantly ask ourselves: How can I be a model of openness and understanding for those around me? How can I help make every campus community member and visitor feel welcome here? And how can we as a university continue to address this issue and improve the campus climate,” he said. “I am committed to the work of diversifying our campus community and providing an open and welcoming climate for anyone who studies, works, lives, or visits our campus.”

The university has been working on diversity and inclusion for several years now. In 2010, before Armstrong became president, the university established an Office of Diversity and Inclusion to help shift its campus culture and create an environment that supports all students. In 2017, Jozi Deleon joined the office as the new vice president and chief officer. She reports directly to Armstrong and serves as a member of his cabinet. In June of 2017, the Student Affairs office hired its first-ever assistant vice president for diversity and inclusion. In 2017, the university’s Week of Welcome (WOW) orientation program offered a Cross-Cultural Experience (CCE), which is devoted specifically to welcoming underrepresented minorities to campus.

In 2017, Student Affairs opened a DREAM Center and Office of Diversity and Inclusion in support of undocumented students on campus.

“When I joined this campus in 2011, 63 percent of our student body was Caucasian. Today, Cal Poly is more diverse than it ever has been, with a student body that is under 55 percent Caucasian,” Armstrong said.

Lizabeth Schlemer, the interim associate dean of the college of engineering, said there’s still more to learn from students

UNWANTED GUEST Milo Yiannopoulos’ second visit to Cal Poly on April 26 added to the divided conversation of free speech and hate speech.

who have been affected by racist acts at the school over the years. She’s been working for the university as a professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering and was a student years ago—Schlemer has spent about 25 years within the Cal Poly community. She made it clear to New Times that she was speaking as a person who’s been in the university community for a long time and not on behalf of Cal Poly or the university administration.

“Everything that’s happened recently, it makes me feel awful because I’ve been here for so long. Have I freaking contributed to this?” Schlemer said. “I’ve been in this position of privilege. I’ve been benefiting from this place that I’m in, and so I’m asking myself, ‘OK, so what do I do?’”

She said she asked a colleague of color what she can do to show support for her students.

“He said, ‘Just show up.’ In your position of power, just show up, and if you’re humbly trying to learn, then that shows support,” Schlemer said.

Showing up is the first step for Schlemer, but she said that’s not enough.

There needs to be action.

“I think about this when I’ve listened to Armstrong talk, because I do think he feels terrible about it. I also think that feeling bad about it is a human response, but as a leader and a person in a position of power, it’s kind of not enough to just feel bad,” she said. “Like I’ve said, I feel like I have so much to learn.”

The blackface incident and the chaos that followed not only gained national coverage but also shed light on longstanding concerns about racial incidents and a lack of diversity on campus.

Strong voices

Students voiced their demand for change during the university’s Open House on April 12 through 14, a weekend for prospective students and their families to tour the campus and learn about extracurricular activities the institution has to offer. The Open House began on Thursday during Farmers’ Market in downtown San Luis Obispo. Booths and signs along Higuera Street protested the blackface incident and race issues at the university.

The next day, students and clubs protested the administration and race issues at the university. As prospective students and their families toured the campus, activists called for Armstrong’s resignation, an increase of the funding allocated to multicultural clubs, and the end of Greek life at the university.

An online petition on change.org also called for Armstrong’s resignation.

Garcia, who protested during the Open House Weekend “Day of Action,” said he spoke with several minority students in the

days leading up to and during the action.

He and other students feel that Armstrong and the administration haven’t done enough to deal with the school’s recent race issues. Garcia doesn’t think administrators understand how students of color feel on a daily basis and how these racially charged incidents have affected students.

“He’s a great president when nothing is going wrong, but when something hits the fan he doesn’t know how to react, and I think it’s because he’s not knowledgeable in that area,” Garcia said.

Students decided to come together and protest, he said, as a way to get administrators to understand how minority students feel—not only about the blackface incident, but also about the ongoing micro aggressions and explicit acts of racism at the university. Garcia participated in protests on two out of the three days during that weekend. Saturday’s silent protest stood out to him because of how peaceful and collected the group was.

“Everyone knew we’re doing something that matters. It was really beautiful in the sense that we were all together,” he said.

While there were many acts of support throughout the weekend, Garcia said there were still times when people taunted protesters.

After the silent protest, the group split up into pairs to talk to prospective students and their families one-on-one about the current campus climate. Garcia said the intimate discussions weren’t to warn off students but rather to educate students about the campus community and how students are calling for change. He said while many people were interested, there were a few parents who weren’t receptive to the dialogue.

“There was a friend of mine that came back crying after interacting with a parent. My friend is African-American and when she approached the parent to talk, the parent called her stereotypical names and raised her voice at my friend instead of listening at least or trying to understand what’s going on,” he said.

“If those are the parents, I can’t even imagine what the kids are like.”

At one point, the group took a break from protesting to have lunch and headed to Santa Rosa Park. A white truck with the Cal Poly university logo on the driver’s side door came to a stop at the light on California and Foothill boulevards. The driver singled out an African-American female, said, “Hey that booty girl,” and then spat on her. Instead of confronting the driver, a protester took a video of him in the car and sent it to the university.

“We had to collect ourselves and continue on with the silent protest as we headed to the park because we were representing minorities so we couldn’t do something stupid or else it would make us look bad,” he said. “But I remember a few minutes after

VIEWPOINTS Many students differ on the definitions of hate speech and free speech when it comes to the recent blackface incidents at the university.

ARE WORDS ENOUGH? The April blackface incident caused a string of racially charged outbursts on campus and many students believe Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong’s speeches are not enough to change campus culture.

we all crossed the street and the driver left, the girl just broke down crying.”

For Garcia, the “Call for Action” was a way to put pressure on the administration, but it was also a way to seek support from other students.

“If admin doesn’t have it down on paper that racial acts are not OK, then students will think it’s OK,” he said. “From my personal perspective, it feels better when our students are with us. Right now, we’re putting pressure on admin, because not all students are with us.”

Freedom of speech

A week after the blackface incident, Lambda Chi Alpha member Watkins apologized through a letter to the editor in Mustang News, the school newspaper.

Student activists called for Watkins’ expulsion in protests and several forums after the incident, but Armstrong and philosophy professor Patrick Lin—who spoke during the biannual Baker Forum May 4—said that Watkins was protected by the First Amendment. Watkins is also protected by Education Code 66301, which states that a university cannot discipline a student on the basis of speech or other communication.

But students countered that what Watkins did is hate speech, and that it made some on campus feel unsafe, therefore, it should not be protected. The split over what free speech should and shouldn’t allow for has divided students.

“I think we’re reaching a culmination point, a climax in our divisiveness, and people on both sides are getting pushed farther and farther in either direction, which is creating a hostile attitude,” second year English major Jackson Ratkovich said.

Ratkovich is the vice president of Turning Point USA at Cal Poly and Cuesta, a new club on both campuses.

Turning Point is a national conservative, right-wing nonprofit organization whose mission is to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government. The organization has more than 1,000 college campus chapters.

Ratkovich and chapter President Isaac Schick said their chapter is nonpartisan— if you believe in free speech, you’re in.

Schick said that he believes in conservative political commentator and writer Ben Shapiro’s three fields of speech. There’s your opinion, the opposing opinion, and acceptable discourse.

Acceptable discourse may not align with your opinion but are the things that are OK to talk about.

“A lot of what’s happened, especially on campuses, is the left has taken acceptable discourse and has made it so small that it’s deemed a lot of speech that is otherwise innocuous, like, not OK

to talk about,” Schick said.

It’s gotten to the point, he said, that unless you agree with them, you’re somehow a bigot. Turning Point was established on campus last November because Schick and Ratkovich said they believe there is a wave of anti-free speech sentiment taking over young people on campuses.

During his freshman year Schick was part of the Cal Poly Democrats club but quickly left after an invitation to a pizza mixer turned sour. He said the Cal Poly College Republicans invited the Cal Poly Democrats out to pizza so the clubs could get to know one another. The Dems refused the invitation, Schick said, because they felt meeting with members of the other side meant that they were endorsing their viewpoints. That refusal was enough for Schick to decide to leave the club. Schick said he couldn’t understand why the Dems wouldn’t want to have a discussion with people who had other viewpoints.

Current Cal Poly Democrats club President Erin Chazer said she remembers when that happened. At the time, President Donald Trump had just announced the travel ban on seven predominantly Muslim countries. Chazer said it affected one of the club officers because he was Middle Eastern, and the ban personally affected some of his family members. She said the Cal Poly College Republicans weren’t inviting the Dems to a debate or professional discussion.

“They had not said anything about it [Muslim ban]. They continued, to my knowledge, to support Donald Trump and his agenda,” she said. “With Donald Trump being president and him enacting racist laws that personally affected people in our club, we did not want to engage socially with a group that was OK with that and continued to support him.”

Schick said one of his classes had a discussion about the blackface incident, and a student responded by saying he didn’t think it was right for a fraternity member to wear blackface but that Watkins shouldn’t be suspended because he had a right to do what he did. The student, Schick said, also said he believed Watkins should get kicked out of the fraternity and have other social repercussions, but that the school shouldn’t get involved. A female student responded by saying the student didn’t understand because he was a “white man.”

“In her mind, she can’t make the connection with defending someone’s right to do something and defending their actions. You can defend someone’s rights to do blackface, but you don’t have to say ‘Oh, now, I’m condoning blackface.’ But she has this political perception that if you allow something to happen, you are condoning it,” he said.

Nursing a path to change

O

n May 18, Cuesta College celebrated its 53rd annual commencement ceremony, and its Registered Nursing Program celebrated its 50th graduating class with 46 graduates.

The next day, Cuesta’s first cohort of 18 students earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing. A collaboration between Cuesta College and CSU Monterey Bay provides students the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s in 12 months after completing their associate degree.

Vianey Alvarado donned a black cap and gown on May 18, graduating with her associate degree.

“It still gets me teary-eyed because I never imagined myself in that position.

Just hearing my name and hearing my family cheering for me was a big highlight in my life,” Alvarado said.

That morning, she said, her son woke up and the first thing he did was wish her a “happy graduation day.”

Five years ago, Alvarado didn’t see herself graduating with an associate degree in Licensed Vocational Nursing (LVN) and Pre-Nursing. Now she can’t wait to join the future graduating class of registered nurses when she completes the program.

In 2013, she was living on her own with her two children, tackling the responsibilities of being a single mother and working full time.

“I was just so in the moment. I was a single mom and trying to make ends meet. I wasn’t really thinking too far into the future,” she said.

It wasn’t until Alvarado’s boyfriend motivated her to think about career goals and creating a financially sustainable future for herself and her family that things changed.

“I really had to think about it, I mean I was in my 30s and I didn’t have a college education and I didn’t have a career. So I thought it was time for me to go back to school and do something for myself,” she said.

She started with one class at Cuesta College in 2015, but after a conversation with her counselor, Alvarado decided to take the path to becoming a licensed vocational nurse. Aside from the support of her family, she said she has to credit the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) and Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE). EOPS is a

California state-funded program that aids in providing a successful college experience to low-income students facing social, economic, and educational disadvantages. CARE is a state-funded program that assists students 18 years or older who are single head of households with child care expenses.

“All the ladies there have been so supportive and have shown me resources that I can use,” she said.

Alvarado said that being in the classroom and going through the nursing clinical rounds—nursing students are placed with a clinical instructor to develop real-life skills in a medical setting—just made her realize that this was the career for her.

“That’s where I want to be, I want to help people that are here and help make their day better,” she said. “There are some patients that don’t do any visits so just being there and talking to them that makes it so amazing.”

Her next move is work as an LVN for a year to gain experience in the field and continue her education at Cuesta to apply for the Registered Nursing program.

Alvarado would then be able to obtain a nursing license.

Since 1969, Cuesta College has educated and graduated more than 1,800 nurses. Cuesta Director of Nursing Marcia Scott said many of the graduates stay local and serve the community in a variety of health care settings: hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, long-term care, and forensic facilities.

The Cuesta nursing program recently received a Strong Workforce Gold Star award from the California Community College Chancellor’s Office health sector.

We need a change Jimmy Paulding could be exactly what South County deserves in a supervisor

I

t must be election season. Compton for Supervisor signs are popping up on farm fences everywhere, and I’ve received my first mailing from the “Lynn Compton for Supervisor” campaign. Her previous campaign’s misleading “slate mailers” touted her as, among other things, “the preferred candidate of the Democratic Party,” choice of a nonexistent copycat version of the League of Women Voters, and claims she’d fight for Proposition 13 (a state, not county, issue), so, “Buyer beware!”

This is an important election as District 4, the South County, is in dire need of a supervisor who will represent all of its constituents, not just present and prospective customers of Farm Supply (Ms. Compton’s family business), fellow members of the Nipomo Chamber of Commerce, businesses in general, or oneself. Ms. Compton, however, has shown herself to be partial in several of her actions thus far.

Park. This project, however, is a partial fulfillment of former Supervisor Paul Teixiera’s campaign to use the community park as a rental-free gift to the Nipomo Recreation Center people, when the center lost its venue on Frontage Road many years ago and had to rent other facilities.

He began to push the idea of using the only community park in the South County, designed to be open to all as a passive park, as a taxpayer-supported venue for the rec center and its profitable child care facility despite the opposition of the then-sitting South County Advisory Council (SCAC). Ms. Compton has simply picked up the baton.

Yet, despite years of complaints by the locals to the county supervisor, she didn’t push for the correction of a years-long violation of county code when a wholesale nursery permitted in the midst of a rural Nipomo residential neighborhood morphed into a distribution center for Plant Source. It brought streams of semis

What District 4 needs is a supervisor who will unselfishly represent the needs of those South County residents who lack ‘connections.’

As an example of her dedication to the people of District 4, she has touted her deflection of many thousands of South County funds to the creation of a skate park in the Nipomo Community

into a residential neighborhood, lighted the night skies, ruined the local (non county maintained) roads, and destroyed the quality of life and property values of the surrounding residents (and still does).

Where is her concern for them?

Her supporters’ letters applaud her votes for “the people.” Yes, Ms. Compton voted against the expansion of Laetitia Vineyards, but considering her own family estate is situated just up the hill from the proposed project, which would negatively impact her wells, her traffic, and her quality of life, that was no surprise. Yes, she finally voted against the Phillips 66 proposed rail terminal off Highway 1 (opposed by a large proactive community of prospective voters who actively worked against it).

Yes, she supported Jack Ready Park for all children, disabled and otherwise, a project conceived and supported by the SCAC long before she ever considered a run for office. More telling, in the almost 30 years I was involved in the SCAC, I never saw or heard of Ms. Compton at a SCAC or Board of Supervisors meeting.

What District 4 needs is a supervisor who will unselfishly represent the needs of those South County residents who lack “connections.” After listening to Jimmy Paulding, I have high hopes he may be that one. What I know is that Lynn Compton is not. It is time for a positive change. ∆ Istar Holliday from Arroyo Grande once served as a member of the South County Advisory Council.

The $10 million sewer question waits for elections

In March of this year, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors settled a $23 million lawsuit with sewer collection system contractor, ARB Inc., by borrowing the $10 million from the solar mitigation fund. Los Osos residents are likely on the hook for the additional $10 million, over and above the $183 million wastewater project costs.

The 4,200 Los Osos sewer ratepayers/voters are unaware that they are responsible for this $10 million and are ill prepared for an additional $2,000-plus added to their sewer bills.

Second District Supervisor Gibson characterized the settlement as “the last sewer bill,” as if it was something to celebrate, or accept—it’s not.

That $10 million is needed in water infrastructure for Los Osos, and this hit comes at a critical time for our water basin management. Long overdue new wells and treatment facilities need to be installed to better manage our basin to protect it from seawater intrusion.

To date there has been no discussion of how the $10 million loan will be repaid. No terms (interest rate and amortization) will be presented to the board and the public until December 2018—conveniently for Gibson and too late for voters—after both the June 5 primary and Nov. 6 elections.

Opinion LETTERS from page 14

Act like an adult, Cal Poly

Peter Johnson’s May 24 article (“Cal Poly reportedly investigating students for anti-war protest”) about Cal Poly investigating students for a “disruptive” 18-minute anti-war and anti-MIC (Military Industrial Complex) protest draws the obvious parallel to UC Berkeley in the 1960s. Unless Cal Poly acts with more restraint and more respect for student speech rights than UCB did in the 1960s, the Cal Poly administration could stir up a new Free Speech Movement to rival Berkeley’s.

Prioritizing corporate donations (even those as high as $2,000 from Raytheon— wow!) over student free speech rights would damage the university’s public image. Who rang the over-react alarm bell, anyway? The Raytheon folks are “big boys”; I should hope they can take a micro-protest in stride. I should also hope that Cal Poly acts like a big boy/girl.

It’s up to you

There is an excellent article, written

by German Lopez and published by Vox: “I’ve covered gun violence for years.

The solutions aren’t a big mystery.” He presents clear statistics showing the obvious connection between the high number of guns owned by private citizens and the high numbers of gun-related deaths, including school shootings, in the U.S., compared to other countries.

I implore everyone to read it. To deny the connection is simply idiotic. It’s like

Vote for humanity

I would like to posit the question to my fellow countrymen: Who are we now?

We have certainly changed from the people who embraced the inspiring words on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

children from their parents, who are crossing our borders in the attempt to be free of violence and poverty.

How many photos of crying children and parents do we have to look at to be moved as human beings? This policy simply must not be supported in a “Christian nation!”

I repeat: Who are we now?

Answer this question by informing yourself and by voting for officials and the party (Democratic) that most supports the humane treatment of all human beings.

Re-elect Bordonaro for assessor

I am writing in support of Tom Bordonaro as the SLO County assessor.

I worked for Tom as a staff member in the state Assembly. Tom was a strong leader who divided his time between Sacramento and the people in his district.

I witnessed firsthand that he gave the job his all whether he was at meetings, working from the van while on the road, or from the ranch. Tom Bordonaro is a dedicated public servant, and we are fortunate to have him representing us.

The problem with legacies

College presidents are all about legacies. Gil Stork is no different. He, too, wants to leave a legacy at Cuesta.

In lockstep with the company line, board President Barbara George, said that Stork’s contract “amendments” of a $51,000 stipend and a $10,359 boost to his $217,545 current salary were consistent with past practice for retiring presidents. Just because this was past practice doesn’t make it right. Cuesta’s enrollment is in the tank and keeps dipping. The buck should stop with Stork.

But, instead, the buck ended up in his pocket.

Add to that, the district gave faculty a golden handshake but didn’t do the same for classified staff, saying it was not costeffective. The board refused to give the neediest employee group—the support staff that keeps the college running—the perk that faculty got while the president got a sweetheart deal.

If Stork wishes to leave a positive legacy, I would urge him to accept the money bestowed upon him by the board and donate it to scholarships for Cuesta students of color and include classified staff in the handshake as the ethical and financially responsible thing to do. Come on. Leave a real legacy. One that money can’t buy.

Marilyn Rossa Arroyo Grande

A vote for experience

I find it interesting that the public is hearing primarily from former employees of the SLO County Assessor’s Office in the current campaign to lead the department.

Staff on the inside is at a disadvantage in this politically awkward race. We have jobs to do and are doing them, but I am compelled to offer my point of view.

Despite many challenges, Tom Bordonaro has 16 years of experience guiding an office with a $10 million budget and a staff of 85 people. His

16 • New Times • May 31 - June 7, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

challenger cannot boast of such a history.

Tom has put in place a management team that rivals any in the state and a line-staff that works diligently for the good of the taxpayer every single day.

Tom has led our office through the fallout and recovery from the Great Recession. He’s made key decisions as our office dealt with the Paso Robles earthquake, the explosive growth in agriculture and the wine industry, the California drought (and the ongoing water wars), our move to the new Government Center, coordination of a multi-department mainframe database transformation, the digitization of our paper files, and scores of other issues, large and small.

Tom Bordonaro has the experience, knowledge, and history necessary to lead the Assessor’s Office. He’s earned your vote.

Jim Mallon San Luis Obispo

The real problem

I agree with the statement, “Immigrants aren’t the problem,” in the May 17 letter to the editor. However, illegal immigrants, aka illegal aliens, are becoming a problem.

The thousands of our ancestors who came through Ellis Island didn’t come through because the U.S. had an open border policy. There were rules and laws to follow. There was a waiting list. You had to have a sponsor who could vouch for you, and you had to have a job lined up before getting here. After arriving, you needed to learn English and work toward becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen.

There are many good, hard-working immigrants in our country, but there are also many who have come in via the open border policy, who bring in drugs and are involved in gangs, human trafficking, and other crimes. In the eight years of the Democrats’ policies, MS-13 gangs grew, we have an epidemic drug problem, and in many cases, a total disregard for our laws and immigration policies.

Just because we have a president who loves our country and is following the law to protect the citizens of the United States does not make him a dictator.

As Americans, we can’t enter other countries illegally, so why is it OK for others to enter our country illegally?

They are not entitled.

Also, regarding the “Remember when fascism was funny?” letter (May 17), I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh, but I do watch Fox News and I do support our president (“The man in the White House”). I find truth in both unlike other media. They also both defend the “egalitarian and democratic principles of this country.” But they will never defend liberalism as we know it today because it is a socialistic view not based on democratic principles at all.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AMY HEWES

‘I miss my teeth’ “

I

’m so tired of being on the street. I was an assembler in a cabinet shop; it closed and now my hands are so bad with arthritis. We’re treated worse than stray dogs. I’d give anything so me and others don’t suffer like this.”

So said Jeff*, one of San Luis Obispo’s chronically homeless, a problem which seems too multi-layered and expensive to resolve. Supervisor Adam Hill, however, doesn’t believe that “the problem is bigger than possible solutions.”

We’ll explore those solutions in my next column. But, for too many, the problem of homelessness lies with the homeless themselves. Let’s suspend judgment until we meet a couple of our brothers and sisters, as Hill calls them.

Take Jeff. He regularly seeks a shower, food, respect, and compassion handed out at the mobile shower unit operated

by Hope’s Village, a program founded by Becky Jorgeson.

“In seven months, we’ve provided 950 showers,” Jorgeson told me. “We’re helping locals; 70 percent of our clients

Joe: “People need to open their hearts.

They yell, ‘Get a job,’ but it’s not so simple.

Lots of people think homelessness is a choice. This is no choice. It’s not a choice to be mentally ill.”

Greg: “I know a homeless lady in Morro Bay who has cancer and three kids under 12. They’ll end up in the system.

Drugs and alcohol are an escape.”

Angela: “Most Californians are a paycheck away from homelessness—the majority of the homeless simply lost a job. We need proper health care, proper nutrition. California has failed in helping the homeless.”

June: “These showers are wonderful. I would love for them to get another truck so that they’d be available every day.

Every dollar spent on getting someone in a home saves money.”

Stephanie: “I’ve never been in trouble; I have a driver’s license; I raised three kids in SLO. But I broke a rule at Prado and got kicked out. I’m not mentally ill.

It’s not my choice to be here. I got raped and beat up.“

‘Each homeless person belongs to someone, a mother, father, siblings. Would you avert your eyes if that was your son?’

—Grace McIntosh, deputy director of Community Action Partnership SLO

are SLO-born and raised. The only difference between ‘them’ and ‘us’ is that we have a bed.”

You’ve seen some sleeping in the park, but look under bridges and in the weeds alongside creeks. There are more homeless than you think.

Grace McIntosh, deputy director of Community Action Partnership SLO, told me we have 1,200 to 3,500 homeless in our county—more per capita than LA. The county’s 2017 Homeless Point-InTime Census and Survey reported that 66 percent of our local homeless are older than 41, and more than 80 percent are white.

Who are they? Are they all mentally ill, drug-addled, or simply lazy? Do they choose to live on the street?

I met a score of homeless citizens at the showers, at the encampments along the creek on lower Higuera, and at the Prado Day Center. Not one chooses to live as they do. Listen: Tom: “I’ve been homeless for five years.

I’d like to succeed, get a job, and take care of myself. We’re struggling and fighting to become one of ‘them,’ you know, regular society.”

Gloria: “I had to escape DV [domestic violence], and lived on the streets for three years. So many homeless women are fleeing DV—there’s not enough room at the women’s shelter. I’d like to go back to school, and help people realize they’re loved.”

John: “I’ve been homeless most of my life. I used to be in Morro Bay, but the police there arrest you for sleeping. The homeless live in fear. There’s nothing like feeling hunted, it’s dehumanizing.

Meth is rampant. Hygiene is a big issue.

Women are at risk.”

Grace: “I fell behind my rent. My youngest son was in high school; the landlord gave us five minutes to get out.

My dog Tango keeps me warm.”

Mark: “I have a fatal flaw, I guess.

I’ve worked in a lot of restaurants, but I go off the rails now and then. I take responsibility. If I could find a way to be presentable and have self-confidence, I’d go out looking for work.”

Dan: “I’m on felony probation because I broke a guy’s jaw. He punched me first but my punch caught him on the jaw.

More than half of my SSI disability money goes to my fine and mandatory classes. How can I put down first and last month rent to get a place? We’re not like what people say. We know we screwed up, but we’re working to improve.”

Bob: “After you’ve been homeless for a time, you lose memories of regular life.

I miss my teeth, hot showers, hot meals.

It’s not easy.”

As CAPSLO’s McIntosh reminds us, “Each homeless person belongs to someone, a mother, father, siblings. Would you avert your eyes if that was your son?”

Isn’t her question the one we should ask ourselves before turning from the problem? Next month let’s look at the problem we try not to look at. Let’s consider what we can do to return dignity to our fellow human beings. ∆ * All names have been changed to respect privacy.

The Shredder

Go cry to someone else

D

ear people who get mad at journalists for doing their job: Get over yourself.

If you’re an elected official who gets an uppity “how dare you” attitude with a journalist when they ask you a question you’d rather avoid (cough, cough, SLO County 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson), I’ve got a few words for you, too. Journalism wasn’t invented to make you look good.

The fourth estate (Yeah buddy, we’re rich! Not.) was something our democracy’s Founding Fathers were pretty explicit about. We are here to watch you and hold you accountable. So, Brucey-Bruce, my liberal friend who seemed to imply that this liberal rag was somehow being underhanded by daring to ask you about a complaint that the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) decided has enough merit to warrant an investigation, I’m going to be honest with you.

We are totally in cahoots with the SLO Tribune, CalCoastNews, and the annoying thorn in everyone’s side, Los Osos resident Julie Tacker. Tacker actually paid us … one million dollars (cue pinky next to side of lip) … to write a story about the complaint she filed against you regarding potential conflict-of-interest issues with you voting on vacation rentals in Cayucos and Cambria, both of which you own property in. Because, well, you don’t really care about vacation rentals at

TRANSFORM YOUR SMILE WITH TRANSFORM COSMETIC YOUR SMILE WITH VENEERS AND COSMETIC VENEERS IMPLANTS AND IMPLANTS

all—so it’s, like, a total non-issue, right?

Wrong. I don’t think the dynamic duo of Tacker/Jeff Edwards has more than $1 to spare on bribing anybody. Plus, that money would be pretty dirty and I do like to keep my cardboard box next to the creek clean, because I listed it on Airbnb.

And—here’s the real reason, dude— vacation rentals are your squeaky wheel.

We know you hate them.

I didn’t hear you complaining when we wrote a story about 1st District Supervisor John Peschong’s being part of the quiet title lawsuit over water rights in the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin and his votes on the county’s contentious basin water management choices.

“Consider the source,” Bruce told New Times, calling Tacker’s complaint “lightweight stuff” from “a longtime critic of the Los Osos sewer.” Yeah Bruce, um, this isn’t our first rodeo. It’s super obvious Tacker doesn’t like you—like, at all. And we are aware that Tacker and Edwards—being the forever schemers that they are—represent vacation rental owners in Cayucos and Cambria who would like to jump through loopholes in the county’s vacation rental ordinance.

And we actually even know that people like Tacker, Edwards, and Kevin “don’t forget that P.” Rice file FPPC complaints on the regular against elected officials with whom they have an axe to grind.

But, you know that ol’ saying: Throw

enough shit against the wall and eventually something stinks.

The voters do deserve to know about some of the shit that’s being thrown against your wall and what you have to say about it. That’s like, totally, our job man. And, if you’re a jerk about it, I get to shred you, which is my absolute fave!

Speaking of being jerky, how passiveaggressive is this little email subject line from the clearly irritated 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill: “Good News Gone Unreported!” He’s referring to the 50 Now program, to which the county just added another 10 spots for housing the most vulnerable in our homeless population.

“If you have a few minutes, please watch my passionate, if rambling remarks,” he wrote. If rambling?

Definitely rambling.

Well, sir, we sincerely apologize for not getting this “good news” out quick enough for you, but it is on page 9. We call it “60 Now” because we are super clever like that.

Spending an extra $106,000 on such an effective program is commendable, but calling it “good news” misses the big picture. SLO County Homeless Services Coordinator Laurel Weir asked for so much more and didn’t get it. The SLO County Board of Supervisors opted to do a lot less than it could have to address homelessness.

We are instead planning to spend $3 million on jail reforms.

Shouldn’t we be addressing those issues

before things get bad enough to land someone in jail?

Speaking of issues, does District Attorney Dan Dow have the thinnest skin in SLO County? He seems to feel it’s appropriate to take his thoughts about our county’s daily newspaper and its reporters to the Twittersphere. Dow’s definitely got an axe to grind against The Tribune, and he’s unprofessionally made it know via social media several times now.

In April, Mr. P. Rice filed an FPPC complaint alleging campaign finance violations against Dow’s challenger Judge Mike Cummins in the DA’s race.

Who officially changes their first name to “Judge” anyway? That’s enough to run against; no FPPC complaints needed. The Trib apparently didn’t run the story Dow was hoping they would run.

“Did you research Mr. Rice’s allegations?” he condescendingly tweeted.

Oh yeah, maybe a seasoned reporter wouldn’t have thought of that. Thanks for the hot tip, Danny boy. I didn’t know you were a journalist in your past life. Did you miss the part of the story that reported what the 54 allegations were? It was right there in black and white.

You’re an elected official serving this county, subject to scrutiny and news stories you don’t like, agree with, or want to read.

Get over it, Danny boy. There’s going to be plenty more if you get re-elected. ∆

Retro style master JD McPherson returns to Live Oak

T

he lineup is so good (and eclectic!) at this year’s Live Oak Music Festival that it’s hard to say who I’m most excited about, but ’50s-style rock, rockabilly, and R&B artist JD McPherson, who plays on Friday, June 15, the first night of the three-day festival ending Sunday, June 17, is certainly right up there.

I’ve been digging his sounds since his 2012 debut, Signs and Signifiers, which was filled with hooky and lyrically literate romps, such as the title track, on which McPherson sings, “I’ve got signs and signifiers/ Gossipers and liars/ Twist me every way they wanna go/ What looks like a raging fire/ Are your dreams and desires/ Endin’ up like ashes on the ground/ If you’ll consider me a chance/ To falter through our dance/ Then the other ones may just leave us alone.”

Like a lot of ’50s music, McPherson’s songs are often about romance and all its travails, like “North Side Gal”: “I pull a mad scheme/ All around the north side/ Chasing the sweet thing so unsatisfied/ Every time I try/ Crazy about a north side gal/ I got some good talk/ But not enough game/ Wooing a sweet thing/ Oh ain’t it a shame/ Every time I try/ Crazy about a north side gal.”

Dropping in contemporary lyrics like “not enough game” gives McPherson’s retro sounds a modern edge. His whole persona is about affecting a style,

from his carefully curated songs to his casual cool dress. McPherson knows the power of design, having earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Tulsa.

Over the course of now three albums, Let the Good Times Roll (2015) and Undivided Heart & Soul (2017), McPherson’s sound has evolved, continually mixing old and new, sometimes working with co-writers, which has brought him some trepidation.

“I was having nightmares every night, thinking, ‘Wow, they’re going to hate this,’” McPherson said in press materials

about his newest album, but of course he was wrong. Fans have once again fallen for his songs about, as his press materials call them, “upheavals, frustrations, roadblocks, and kismet—a cross-country move, failed creative relationships, a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity, and learning to love making music again by letting go.”

“Up to this point, I thought I knew what I was doing with songwriting, that I don’t do this or that,” McPherson said. “Writing with people who co-write for a living … maybe I saw myself as John Henry, and them as the steel-driving machine.”

A lot of the new songs are more edgy, raw, and rocking, such as “Style is a Losing Game,” which has a little bit of a fuzzy, wall of sound vibe. He’s going to put on a great show!

Wild Horse Winery & Vineyards Live Music with Noach Tangeras Saturday, June 9th 1–4 pm

Vina Robles Amphitheatre is gearing up for its summer and fall season, and this Sunday, June 3 (8 p.m.; all ages; $60 to $99 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com), frontman Ian Anderson presents Jethro Tull on their 50th anniversary tour.

Inexplicably named after an 18thcentury British agronomist who invented a seed sowing machine drill, Jethro Tull became one of the best selling prog rock groups of all time. Perhaps their most successful album, Aqualung (1971), was an anti-church/pro-God concept album that yielded hits such as “Cross-Eyed Mary,” “Hymn 43,” and “Locomotive Breath.”

All told, the band has sold 60 million albums worldwide and proved that a flautist like Anderson could front a rock band and become a legend.

“I am not usually a birthday or anniversary kind of guy but, just for once, I won’t be a party-pooper either!”

Anderson said in press materials about the band’s 50th anniversary tour. “I treasure the memories of the earlier years of Jethro Tull repertoire, associated as it is with the adventures of visiting so many countries for the first time to connect with new fans around the world. And this is a celebration of all the 33 band members who graced our ranks—musicians who brought their talents, skills, and styles to bear on the performances live and in the studio. Join me and the current band for a nostalgic evening of varied music, representative of my ever-changing songwriting as our careers progressed through the years.”

Also this week at Vina Robles, see Yanni as he and his orchestra recreate his Live at the Acropolis show on Tuesday, June 5 (8 p.m.; all ages; $55 to $85 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com).

Blues icon Americana style folk music with roots in blues, country, folk, and rock.

John Mayall, often called “The Godfather of British Blues,” has enjoyed an incredibly long career. The 84-yearold started back in 1956, forming the Powerhouse Four. Later he was recruited as part of the Blues Syndicate, and in 1963 he formed the legendary Bluesbreakers. The following year, he and his band were asked to back John Lee Hooker on his 1964 British tour.

Over the decades, Mayall has been a constant presence in the blues world, working with Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor, among other guitar greats. He’s

SHARING THEIR STORY Dugan Aguilar was a quiet and respectful photographer who never forced anyone to be in pictures against his will.

“He felt that it was a gift from them to let him photograph them,” his wife, Liza Aguilar, said.

CAPTURING A GENERATION Dugan Aguilar’s photographic exhibit, She Sang Me a Good Luck Song, includes work curated from nearly 40 years of his life spent documenting California Native Americans.

documentation and enough of a current voice,” she said. “That’s what he was interested in. ... He found that Native American culture in California was so rich.”

Liz said that what her husband liked to take pictures of most were Native American faces.

Dugan did do some landscape work, she said, but he thrived as a portrait artist.

“He just knew everybody,” Liz said. “He was quiet. He gave people the option to be in his work. Even at an event, he would give people a sticky dot to put on their name tags if they did not want to be photographed. He felt that it was a gift from them to let him photograph them.”

The photos in the exhibit show the unique intimacy Dugan enjoyed with his subjects.

There is a dutiful patience in each shot that almost makes it look easy. But these are powerful moments that require long periods of study and self-restraint.

It’s instantly obvious how passionate Dugan was about telling a better, more accurate story of California’s diverse Native community.

It’s impossible to come away with anything other than a newfound understanding of how cultures intertwine with their changing social and physical landscapes.

The title of the exhibit, She Sang Me a Good Luck Song, was taken from an experience Dugan had while documenting an event. Dugan had asked an elder if he could take her picture.

“She said, ‘First, let me sing you a good luck song,’” Liz said. “And she him a song in her native language for good luck in taking pictures. It was a blessing.”

It’s been three years since Dugan was able to hold a camera and take photographs, a fact his wife somberly shared. Parkinson’s has made it impossible to hold a camera, and diabetes caused him to have vision troubles. Liz said it was difficult for the lifelong shutterbug to come to terms with that, but he still is focused on the message of his work.

“It was very hard,” she said. “ What Dugan always says is he wants people to know that Native Americans are alive and well right now and to see how they are living, and how beautiful they are and how vibrant they are.

That’s what is important to him now.” Δ Sun Arts and Lifestyle Writer Rebecca Rose wishes everyone good luck. Contact her at rrose@santamariasun.com.

Kenny Standhardt was just a kid from a fourth-generation Pennsylvania Dutch farm west of Philadelphia when he saw a woman throwing pots at a local arts festival.

“I ran home just enthralled and my father helped me build a wheel,” Standhardt said. “He didn’t think it would stick.”

But Standhardt went on to apprentice for the woman he saw throwing pots and even studied fine arts in college, becoming the first of his family in generations to move more than 20 minutes away from the farm.

“It was a big deal,” Standhardt said.

“But I was just interested in the world and other places.”

Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: Civil War and Captain America: The Winter Soldier) direct this new Avengers installment, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

The whole freaking universe is at stake, people, so every single character from the Marvel pantheon must join forces to fight the evil Thanos (Josh Brolin) before he wipes out half of everything.

Of course, including every single character can get pretty chaotic and leave for a lot of abbreviated storylines, and then there’s the matter of excessiveness. Even comic book action adventure stories offer moments of rest and respite, but they come few and far between in this bombastic and overblown tale. It’s everything you want in a comic book movie, but turned up to 11.

REVIEW SCORING Full PRICE .... It’s worth the price of an evening show MATINEE ........ Save a few bucks, catch an afternoon show RENTAl .......... Rent it STREAMING.... Wait ’til Netflix has it NOThING ........ Don’t waste your time Some will like that, others won’t.

The film opens with Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) overcome by Thanos, then it hands off to Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who enlists Tony Stark/ Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to save the universe. Banner has to round up Steve Rogers/Capt. America (Chris Evans). When they’re attacked by Thanos’ minions, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) has to show up and rescue them. Meanwhile the Guardians of the Galaxy (Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, and Chris Pratt) have to rescue Thor from outer space death. Various superheroes are trying to protect various “infinity stones” that Thanos is trying to acquire so he can kill off half the universe with a literal snap

of his fingers. And soon James “Rhodey” Rhodes/War Machine (Don Cheadle), Vision (Paul Bettany), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and Bucky Barnes/ White Wolf (Sebastian Stan) all convene at T’Challa/Black Panther’s (Chadwick Boseman) hidden kingdom of Wakanda for a final showdown with Thanos. It’s exhausting! It’s also pretty exhilarating! Its ending, however, is bullshit!

I suspect everyone who’s a Marvel fan has already added to the film’s $250 million opening weekend, but if you haven’t and you plan on going, stop reading here because I’m going to spoil the ending right now: Thanos wins. That’s right. He snaps his fingers and half the population of the universe dies, disintegrating into piles dust. Not just a bunch of randos, but our heroes too! Peter Parker, dead!

Dr. Strange, dead! Most of the Guardians of the Galaxy, dead! Even Black Panther, dead! That’s not how superhero movies are supposed to end, right?

This ending is lame. Most of these actors have multi-film contracts. Are we to assume, for instance, that the upcoming Guardians and Black Panther films— already in the works—are all going to be prequels? Plus there’s an Avengers: Infinity War—Part II listed as in “post-production” on imdb.com with the killed-off characters listed in the cast. No, there’s going to be some dumb trick that will somehow resurrect these characters, and that pisses me off, which is why I won’t give this film full price. Don’t play with me, Marvel! I’m not your toy! (149 min.)

Pick

Deadpool 2 is better than its excellent predecessor! It’s full of more zippy oneliners, more gleeful pop culture references, and more ridiculous over-the-top violence.

When the film opens, Deadpool is in a suicidal frame of mind thanks to the murder of his girlfriend Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), but seeing as how he’s essentially un-killable, even five barrels of fuel oil won’t do the trick. X-men team member Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapicic) picks up the literal pieces, stuffs them in a sack, and hauls Deadpool back to the X-Mansion to await his recovery.

Made an X-Men trainee, Deadpool eventually joins Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), and her chipper new girlfriend Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna) on an X-Men mission to try to stop Russell “Firefist” Collins from destroying the Headmaster (Eddie Marsan) and his torturous Mutant Re-education Center for young X-Men like Russell.

Being a “shoot first and sort it out later” kind of guy, Deadpool mucks it up and soon finds he and Russell are both incarcerated in the “Icebox,” a high security prison for violent mutants. It’s there that time Cable shows up to kill Russell, who in the future is responsible for Cable’s family’s death.

A fight ensues, and Deadpool and Cable tumble out of the Icebox, going their separate ways. Meanwhile, now that the Icebox has been compromised, the prisoners—including Russell—are being transported to a new prison by train. Can Deadpool and his best bud Weasel (T.J. Miller) assemble a team of superheroes to protect Russell from Cable’s inevitable attack on the prison convoy, and will this team consist of misfit “heroes” such as Domino (Zazie Beetz), Vanisher (Brad Pitt in a great cameo), Zeitgeist (Bill Skarsgård), Bedlam (Terry Crews), Peter (Rob Delaney), and Shatterstar (Lewis Tan)? Yes and yes!

Reynolds was born to play this role. His delivery is spot on, and it has to be. Most the time he’s acting under the Deadpool mask, and the rest of the time—save for one scene where he looks like himself— Reynolds is under hideous burn victim skin.

Cable, who turns out to not be the villain everyone expects, doesn’t think Russell is worth saving, but this is a feel-good film where everyone can learn a valuable lesson, and since Cable has a time travel device … well, even a hapless guy like Peter, who joined Deadpool’s superhero team even though he admittedly doesn’t have a superpower, has a chance at a second chance.

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Stadium 10, Galaxy From writer/director Ben Falcone (Tammy, The Boss) and his co-writer/ wife Melissa McCarthy (Ghostbusters, Bridesmaids) comes the summer comedy Life of the Party. When her husband, Dan (Matt Walsh, Brigsby Bear, Elf ) suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into reset by going back to college ... landing in the same class and school as her daughter, Maddie (Molly Gordan, I Am Sam) who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna—now Dee Rock—embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected.

I’ve enjoyed Melissa McCarthy’s work ever since she was in Gilmore Girls. That said, I didn’t have super high hopes going into The Life of the Party. McCarthy’s films have become a bit stale, not bad, but not great, and always leaning heavily on a particular brand of over the top, crude comedy. Don’t get me wrong; I loved it in Bridesmaids, but a handful of films later it’s started to get a bit stale.

The premise isn’t terribly original. After her husband leaves her for another woman, Deanna, who dropped out of college when she got pregnant with their daughter, Maddie, decides to back to school to finally finish her degree … at the same college her daughter is attending! Shenanigans ensue! Insert awkward mother-daughter walks of shame and 80s themed college parties with way too many shots of cheap tequila. This time around with a PG-13 rating, McCarthy, leaned on a sweeter, awkward brand of mom humor complete with dorky puff paint adorned sweaters

and a woke sense of feminism. It was a refreshing change of pace.

Due to the PG-13 rating, you won’t actually see any scenes of McCarthy banging the much younger Jack (Luke Benward, Field of Lost Shoes) Maddie’s boyfriend Tyler’s (Jimmy O. Yang, Patriot’s Day) BFF. They do play that May-December relationship as Jack being in love with Deanna, rather than some weird MILF fetish, which is kind of sweet, I think?

Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) is hilarious as Deanna’s ultra supportive smack-talking bestie who’s always sneaking off to have sex with her husband in public places. Julie Bowen as the realtor, Marcie, who steals Deanna’s husband, just comes off as a mean version of her type A mom character from Modern Family. Chris Parnell (Anchorman) is charming as Deanna’s pun-cracking archaeology professor.

Leonar (Heidi Gardner, Saturday Night Live) is perfect as Deanna’s super creepy and weird roomie with an aversion to sunlight.

Gillian Jacobs (Don’t Think Twice) is Maddie’s slightly older sorority sister who was stuck in a comma for eight years and is a minor celebrity on Twitter because of it. She’s the first to take a shine to Deanna when they bond over a shared hatred of the mean girl in archaeology class. Gordan as Deanna’s daughter is utterly bland and forgettable. McCarthy’s character could have had no daughter and simply had a midlife crisis and chosen to go back to college and the film would have been about as funny for all the impact Gordan had on the story.

This film isn’t Bridesmaids level great, nor is it worth spending $15 at the movie theater, but had I not already seen it I would perk up a little bit when it came to my local Redbox. (105 min.)

MOVIES from page 41 for his television work (How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs), steers this role reversing remake/re-imagining of 1987’s Overboard.

After falling off his luxury yacht while partying too hard, wealthy playboy Leonardo (Eugenio Derbez, How to Be a Latin Lover) wakes up on the Oregon coast with amnesia. Upon recognizing his face on the news, Kate (Anna Faris, Mom), a single mother and carpet cleaner who was mistreated and unjustly fired by Leo, hatches a scheme—convince the amnesiac he’s her husband.

Luckily for Kate, the only person searching for the missing heir is his sister, Magdalena (Cecilia Suarez). But she devises a plan of her own after finding him at the hospital. “Is this your brother?”

One of the doctors asks her. “No, I’ve never seen this man before in my life.”

She replies and quickly leaves without Leo seeing her. With her brother out of the way, Magdalena is next in line to inherit their deathbed-ridden father’s company.

With the rest of his family under the assumption he was eaten by sharks (yep), Leo is free for Kate to take. And she does.

Leo knows right off the bat, as Goldie Hawn’s character did in the original, that something isn’t right. But without a single memory to turn to, Leo is stuck believing Kate’s lie, which is backed up by fake documents and her knowledge of a Speedy Gonzales tattoo on his butt.

It took me a little while to get on board (get it?) with this Overboard. I know you’re supposed to hate Leo in the beginning, but I found his obnoxiousness overbearing at times (he’s a womanizing drunkard as opposed to Hawn’s snobby socialite). But once that finally settles down, and Leo becomes more “accustomed” to his new, humble surroundings, the film gets funnier.

The hardest thing for Leo to believe at first, besides having to work for a living, is that he’s a father. While the predictable, budding romance between Leo and Kate is fun, the real heart of this story lies with the kids. No matter how ludicrous the circumstances are, he slowly becomes the closest thing to a father figure Kate’s three daughters have ever known. And as sappy and improbable as it is, the bond he forms with them won me over. There’s one scene near the end that involves a bicycle (that’s all I’ll say) where I was close to crying. I kid you not; this moment has just as much, if not more, weight to it than anything in

With fake guns, heels, and ski masks, the women waltz into the store and yell, “Everyone on the ground now, this is a robbery!” It’s hilarious how perfectly the women pull off the robbery and believe that they’ve made it home free. Yes, I said believe they got off scot-free.

The real story unfolds after the women find out that the money in the safe belongs to a prominent gang in the area.

That’s where things get really interesting because the three are in the debt of really handsome gangbanger Rio (Manny Montana).

This show is interesting in the sense that all women are very strong females in their household, whether it’s by earning money to pay the bills or holding down the fort at home. It’s only when the males in their lives make mistakes or don’t earn enough to make ends meet that these good women turn bad. So when men make the mistakes it’s the women that are left to clean up the mess left behind.

While this show isn’t exploring new storytelling terrain, it’s a fresh take on the TV hero being not one but three strong female leads. I love the cast: Hendricks, Retta, and Whitman have such a profound onscreen chemistry that while most of the show has serious scenes there are many instances of perfectly timed comedic relief.

This feels like the new Thelma and Louise of television, and I’m all for it.

Here are women looking to just live a comfortable life and take care of their families. Leave it to the men to ruin that dream. These women are capable, strong, and upset. (10, 43- to 45-minute episodes) Δ —Karen Garcia

becoming a cultural phenomenon at the ripe age of 85.

Beyond those highlights, RBG offers a poignant portrayal of Ginsburg as a person, her reserved and steely yet sweet temperament, and her genuinely beautiful marriage. Filmmakers Betsy West and Julie Cohen really capture Ginsburg’s humanity through interviews with her, her friends, and family members, which add a valuable layer of depth to the documentary.

Ginsburg, a Brooklyn native, entered Harvard Law School in 1956 as one of nine women in a class of 500. She juggled her coursework with caring for both her baby and her husband, who had fallen ill with cancer (but ultimately survived). After graduating, she struggled to find law work as a female professional, despite being at the top of her class. Ginsburg eventually became a professor at Columbia University, where she pioneered a class on gender discrimination.

In the ’70s, Ginsburg argued a series of discrimination cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Here, West and Cohen manage to make what could have been a dry rundown of court cases compelling and dramatic. They tracked down the plaintiffs on these cases, who had faced gender-based discrimination ranging from unequal pay to unequal benefits as military service members. RBG weaves original audio from Ginsburg’s oral arguments with commentary from Ginsburg and others to drive home the historical significance of those cases. Almost singlehandedly, Ginsburg changed the legal landscape for all women in the country.

RBG begins and ends with exploring her legacy, particularly among the newest generation of Americans. As the Supreme Court turned more and more conservative in the early 2000s, Ginsburg’s dissenting opinions became her signature and drew attention from young progressives. At 85 years old today, her spunk and sharp intellect are widely adored. T-shirts labeled “Notorious RBG” have become a hit, and goofy web images with her face imprinted on various superheroes have gone viral on the Internet. You’d be hard pressed to find a more important living American icon than RBG, and this documentary proves it. (97 min.)

Jandreau’s real-life father, Tim Jandreau, stars as his film father, Wayne Blackburn, and his real-life sister, Lilly, stars as his film sister, Lilly Blackburn.

The film also features real-life rodeo cowboys Cat Clifford and Lane Scott starring as themselves.

This poignant and elegiac meditation on identity is a real heartbreaker. Brady was a bronco rider and gifted horse trainer. In his rural South Dakota region, he was a star.

Kids asked to take photos with him. He was a cowboy hero. His entire identity was wrapped up in cowboying, but after his terrible accident leaves him with a metal plate in his head, he’s told he’ll have to leave rodeo and horse training behind. So what’s left for him? Who is he if not Brady Blackburn, bronco rider?

Zhoa’s film takes its time telling Brady’s story. It lingers on his stapled head wound, spends long moments framing Brady against the wide-open spaces of South Dakota, and lets us watch the cowboy employing his horse whispering touch on unbroken stallions. We also see Brady with his cowboy friends, drinking around a bonfire, wrestling in a living room, and cheering each other on at the rodeo. They’re all living on the same Lakota reservation consumed by poverty but driven by a hyper masculine code of conduct—cowboy up! The pall lingering over every gathering is whether Brady will make it back, and as counterpoint to this question, we have Lane Scott, a former rodeo bull rider made paraplegic after a bull riding accident (though in real life Scott was injured in an auto accident).

Using non-actors to essentially play themselves is a huge risk—just ask Clint Eastwood about his floundering The 15:17

to Paris—but Zhoa coaxes remarkable performances out of them. Scott is indeed a paraplegic, and archival footage of him riding bulls and Brady riding broncos offers a tantalizing mix of reality and fiction.

Likewise, Brady’s real-life sister Lilly has an intellectual disability. This dose of realism packs an emotional wallop.

As for Jandreau, he’s the heart of the film. His soulful performance, his quiet introspection, and his natural charisma make me certain we’ll see this first-time actor in another role. This is hands down one of the most beautiful films I’ve seen this year. You can’t help but mourn for Brady as he struggles to find something worth living for. (104 min.)

The mountains are calling Lake Tahoe is worth the seven-hour drive

t’s about 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, and we’re driving up the 101, on our way to perhaps my favorite place in the world: Lake Tahoe.

After a quick stop at In-N-Out for dinner we’re back on the road with the audiobook Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown to sustain us for the long seven-hour drive.

I’ve traveled a bit, and if I had to move somewhere away from the Central Coast, I’d be tempted to pack everything up and head to the Lake Tahoe area. (Edinburgh is a close second. Scottish people are just so nice and they know how to make a mean gin cocktail.) Something about the air, the mountains, and that stunningly clear blue Tahoe water just brings me to life every single time. All the great breweries in the area don’t hurt either.

The official cause for our trip this weekend is to see my cousin DJ and his lovely bride Ashlyn get hitched at the River Ranch Lodge in Tahoe City, with the scenic Truckee River rolling on by in the background, but we plan to make the most of our time up north.

Bleary eyed, we finally make it to the cabin in Kings Beach on the north side of the lake at 2 a.m. and promptly fall asleep. After sleeping in, we admire the

After a few hours the lure of the lake is irresistible. After stopping by Tahoe Central Market for a green juice we spend some time strolling on the beach and pier, admiring the beauty that surrounds us.

The clouds move in and we feel a sprinkle or two hit our heads. Time to seek shelter indoors at Alibi Ale Works in nearby Incline Village.

I fell in love with Alibi’s saison when we came up last summer. Sadly that brew was seasonal and they won’t have it back on tap for another month or so. After getting some kisses from the very friendly brewery pit bull, Abby, I make my way through a flight of their delectable beers. The rye IPA and porter become instant new faves and I make sure to leave with a few cans and growlers before we head back to the cabin to have a cozy dinner from Whitecaps Pizza with family friends who live in the area.

Pizza party like it’s 1973

PHOTOS BY HAYLEY THOMAS CAIN

Del’s Pizzeria’s new Pismo Beach locale carries on 45 years of comfort slice tradition

G

ood pizza is like a hug you can feel from the inside. It’s like winning the softball game and finding $20 in your jacket on the same day. It’s the stuff of quick, casual celebrations; the shared, passed-around feast of drive-in movies, sleepovers, and garage bands everywhere.

If you ask Ryan Delmore of Del’s Pizzeria, what his family serves isn’t so much delightfully chewy dough, savory sauce, mounds of bubbly mozzarella, and killer toppings—but heaping slices of pure “mama’s love.”

Of course, he’s talking about none other than his own mama, Bernadette “Mama Del” Delmore. You’ll find the 71-year-old matriarch here most days, chatting with friends and customers she’s known for years—and in some cases, decades.

Del’s has been around since 1973, so not only have they gathered fans, they’ve also attracted their fair share of celebrities (Jennifer Garner, Steve Martin, and Johnny Depp have all noshed at Del’s; bodybuilder/actor Lou Ferrigno is a regular, and—as you might have guessed—he’s always down for seconds of pasta).

When Mama Del isn’t serving beers or greeting longtime locals, she’s in the new kitchen of her recently relocated restaurant, which moved to 1101 Price St. in Pismo Beach this month after more than 20 years at its former (pleasantly quirky) Shell Beach Road location.

“Our new restaurant might be just 2 miles away, but it’s a really big deal,” Ryan says. “We’re getting so much foot traffic here on Price Street; we’re just slammed most nights.”

Of course, the Del’s traditions are all still alive, even if the restaurant is oh-so modern (the new space features high ceilings, a bright dining room, and two dining patios).

The pizza and pasta dishes are still made in what Ryan simply calls “classic, comfort food” style, with chewyyet-crunchy dough (thanks to extra gluten) and bubbly cheese that oozes in sumptuous strings. You can still get that old-fashioned style lasagna, calzones, and meatballs. And yes, you can order your pizza crust gluten free, although I highly recommend the original.

Ryan decides to let me go crazy in the kitchen, so I feel a little like family and less like a reporter.

He presses out some dough and hands me an apron. I happily slap down some sauce, sprinkle on some mozzarella cheese, and add artichokes, mushrooms, olives, and dollops of ricotta cheese. He throws the round onto the conveyor belt, which passes through an oven set at more than 500 degrees.

PIZZA LOVES COMPANY Del’s classic, comforting pizza topped with mounds of mozzarella is best when shared (although we get it if you prefer your own personal-sized pie).

@flavorslo

Mama Del’s munchies

Del’s Pizzeria is located at 1101 Price St., suite 100. Del’s is open Monday through Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m., Friday from 4 to 10 p.m., Saturday from noon to 10 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m.

For more information, go to delspizza.com or visit the business on Facebook and Instagram.

As I see (and smell) my creation come to toasty, melty perfection, Ryan gives me the rundown.

The restaurant all started with “Big Ed,” Ryan’s grandpa (although he never let him or his brother, Darren, ever call him the dirty “g” word).

“He was a Vegas guy, and placed a bet on the 1973 Super Bowl. Well, the Dolphins won,” Ryan says with a laugh. “So our grandpa got a bunch of money and gave it to my dad and said, ‘Open a pizza place.’”

If this sounds crazy, well, it kind of is.

But it’s totally crazy in one of those “how America used to be” ways. Ryan and Darren’s dad, Jim Delmore, had lived in Southern California, where he’d grown up working in pizza shops since he was 12. At the time of the big win, he had been managing Spyglass Inn restaurant in Shell Beach. He had all the knowledge to start his own pizzeria—and now, with this newfound money, he could finally open his own spot.

Del’s Pizzeria opened in March of 1973 at 1759 Shell St. in Pismo Beach, where Mei’s Chinese Restaurant stands today. A photo of Bernadette, or as her friends call her, “Bernie,” hangs above the new dining room as homage to this special time. Donning bell-bottoms and a polyester shirt, she stirs a pot of sauce at that first location. It’s strange to think, but Ryan was growing inside her at that moment.

44 • New Times • May 31 - June 7, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

She looks extremely happy and excited about the future.

“My brother and I grew up on pizza. It was kind of like the T.V. Show Bob’s Burgers but with pizza. And now my kids are growing up with it, too,” Ryan said.

Ryan’s son, David, maintains the business website, and his daughter, Kate, works the floor.

The youngest son, Sam, hosts and buses. A wine industry pro, Darren handles the beer and wine aspect of the business (he can be credited for installing the state-of-the-art wine keg, which keeps every glass super fresh).

In 1994, Del’s moved to a second, larger location, at 401 Shell Beach Road. You might know it intimately—plenty do.

Built in the 1920s, locals will likely remember the old-time feel and live bands.

Although the second space was FLAVOR continued page 46 SINCE 1973 Ryan Delmore of Del’s Pizzeria and his brother Darren grew up in the pizza business and have yet to change their popular family recipes. Now, 45 years after first opening, the family invites folks to check out a brand new location at 1101 Price St., suite 100.

roomier (the first location only had 10 tables), the kitchen was ridiculously small. Still, the family made do, churning out those famous pizzas and calzones night after night.

This is where Ryan and Darren literally grew up over the past two-plus decades. It was a place of life lessons and friends and a million birthday parties.

Through it all, Mama Del was always on hand, whether to help serve, stir the pot, or even fish an old man’s dentures out of his own bowl of spaghetti (true story).

Although the Delmores have fond memories of the old place, this new, 3.0 location offers a clean slate, a better setup for customers, and—finally—a kitchen that can fit the whole family side by side.

After a final night at the old Del’s featuring local musicians The Ragged Jubilee and Shawn Clark, the family closed its doors and looked toward a new horizon.

“There were about 300 people there, and we were using all our dough and cheese, doing pizzas by the slice,” Ryan said. “Of course, it was very bittersweet.”

And Mama Del? Sure, she shed a few tears. But now she is optimistic as ever, just like that iconic image that hangs so proudly in the new dining room.

“This really is her place; it always was,” Ryan said. “She’s always hustling, always makings sure everyone feels taken care of.” ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain loves Del’s glutenheavy crust topped with spicy, local Cattaneo Brother’s linguisa. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

H ayley’s Bites PoPPin’ bottles Look beyond the label: Meet Colleen Gnos, the artist behind Kelsey Winery’s lovely labels, at a June 2 meet-and-greet at the SLO tasting room, nestled among See Canyon apple orchards. Gnos was named “Best Visual Artist” for the Avila Lifeguard towers in our 2018 New Times Readers’ Poll. To boot, Kelsey Winery was also won runner-up in both best red and white wine categories! Check it out at kelseywine.com … Raw power: Foremost Wine Co. in downtown SLO has ditched the Burrata Bar in favor of a new Bubble Bar, featuring sparkling wines and raw bites (find out more at foremostslo.com) … When Lunada Garden Bistro opened in Cayucos last spring, some eaters wondered if truffle burgers and lobster egg rolls would work at the beach. Now, as the restaurant prepares for its second Central Coast summer, the answer is clear! Folks love this unique stop (and especially the brunch menu, which includes oysters on the half shell, roasted artichoke, and Belgian waffles a la mode). See (and salivate) for yourself at lunadagardenbistro.com.

Vines, forks, and farmers On the move: Il Cortile Ristorante and La Cosecha Bar + Restaurant in Paso Robles has announced the launch of a new gourmet food truck! Called simply “The Truck,” this mobile restaurant will allow Chef Santos MacDonal to stage intimate private dinners, pop-ups, and receptions in the North County, from the beaches to the vineyards … Meet the men and women behind the wine you love at

Pappy McGregor’s New Wine Wednesday events. Each week, Pappy’s will feature a Paso Robles winemaker who will be on hand pouring and talking about their wines (plus, every fourth Wednesday will feature a local distiller and/or brewer).

The June 6 event will feature winemaker Sterling Kragten of Cass Winery (go to pappymcgregors.com for more). Farmers online: Slow Money SLO is starting an online support community to enable broader farmer-to-farmer communication (and no, it’s not your average Facebook group). Wanna join or learn more? Email jeff@slowmoneyslo.org.

That said, if you want to get an early bird tickets for just $5, May 31 is your last day to do so. Go to avomargfest.com for more info … The Mac and Cheese Festival will break all your diet rules this June 9 at the Avila Beach Resort (macandcheesefest. com) ... Got a good cause to fund? San Luis Obispo area nonprofit organizations are invited to apply for charity funds raised at the San Luis Obispo (SLO) Wine Country Association’s Harvest on The Coast Grand Tasting and Auction happening this November at the Avila Beach Resort (fill out an online application at slowine.com or call (805) 541-5868). ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain is into bacon and jalapeño on her mac and cheese, and sometimes even broccoli.

H ayley’s P icks Your teen, with a knife

A summer without at least a little bit of structure can become real flabby, real fast. If your teen’s idea of summer fun includes waking up at noon, flipping on Instagram, and ignoring the lawn for the next 12 hours, here’s a good alternative.

Sign ’em up for a class! Not a boring one (they will never forgive you for ruining their life, again). We’re talking about a class that includes all the fun stuff teens love (getting those hands dirty, playing with fire, and eating a lot). Starting May 31, classes begin at The Wellness Kitchen in Templeton, and they are sneakily educational. Teens 13 to 18 are invited to chop, stir, bake, and devour their creations. Courses span the basics of cooking to more advanced stuff, and will encourage even the pickiest eater to consume the rainbow (um, I absolutely mean veggies, not Skittles).

Better yet, the price tag on this summer adventure is absolutely free. That’s more than you can say about that “allimportant” summer tankini!

The Wellness Kitchen is located at 1255 Last Tablas Road, Suite 102 in Templeton.

Registration details are at thewkrc.org/ calendar.html. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain’s birthday was on May 29. You can still send snacks to hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

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.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): A critic described Leonardo da Vinci’s painting the Mona Lisa as “the most visited, most written about, most sung about, most parodied work of art in the world.” It hasn’t been sold recently, but is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Today it’s kept in the world-renowned Louvre museum in Paris, where it’s viewed by millions of artlovers. But for years after its creator’s death, it enjoyed little fanfare while hanging in the bathroom of the French King Francois. I’d love to see a similar evolution in your own efforts, Aries: a rise from humble placement and modest appreciation to a more interesting fate and greater approval. The astrological omens suggest that you have more power than usual to make this happen in the coming weeks and months.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Oracle: I find myself in the weird position of trying to decide between doing the good thing and doing the right thing. If I opt to emphasize sympathy and kindness, I may look like an eager-to-please wimp with shaky principles. But if I push hard for justice and truth, I may seem rude and insensitive. Why is it so challenging to have integrity? -Vexed Libra.” Dear Libra: My advice is to avoid the all-or-nothing approach. Be willing to be half-good and halfright. Sometimes the highest forms of integrity require you to accept imperfect solutions.

SCORPIO

(April 20-May 20): These days, many films use CGI, computer generated imagery. The technology is sophisticated and efficient.

But in the early days of its use, producing such realistic fantasies was painstaking and time-intensive. For example, Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park featured four minutes of CGI that required a year to create. I hope that in the coming weeks, you will summon equivalent levels of old-school tenacity and persistence and attention to detail as you devote yourself to a valuable task that you love. Your passion needs an infusion of discipline. Don’t be shy about grunting.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have waited long enough to retaliate against your adversaries. It’s high time to stop simmering with frustration and resentment. Take direct action! I suggest you arrange to have a box of elephant poop shipped to their addresses. You can order it here: tinyurl.com/ElephantManure. JUST KIDDING! I misled you with the preceding statements. It would in fact be a mistake for you to express such vulgar revenge.

Here’s the truth: Now is an excellent time to seek retribution against those who have opposed you, but the best ways to do that would be by proving them wrong, surpassing their accomplishments, and totally forgiving them.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

(May 21-June 20): On Feb. 17, 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev had an appointment with a local cheese-making company to provide his expert consultation. But he never made it. A blast of inspiration overtook him soon after he awoke, and he stayed home to tend to the blessed intrusion. He spent that day as well as the next two perfecting his vision of the periodic table of the elements, which he had researched and thought about for a long time. Science was forever transformed

by Mendeleyev’s breakthrough. I doubt your epiphanies in the coming weeks will have a similar power to remake the whole world, Gemini. But they could very well remake your world.

When they arrive, honor them. Feed them. Give them enough room to show you everything they’ve got.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Marketing experts say that motivating a person to say yes to a big question is more likely if you first build momentum by asking them smaller questions to which it’s easy to say yes. I encourage you to adopt this slant for your own purposes in the coming weeks. It’s prime time to extend invitations and make requests that you’ve been waiting for the right moment to risk. People whom you need on your side will, I suspect, be more receptive than usual—and with good reasons—but you may still have to be smoothly strategic in your approach.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ninety-five percent of your fears have little or no objective validity. Some are delusions generated by the neurotic parts of your imagination. Others are delusions you’ve absorbed from the neurotic spew of other people’s imaginations. What I’ve just told you is both bad news and good news. On the one hand, it’s a damn shame you feel so much irrational and unfounded anxiety. On the other hand, hearing my assertion that so much of it is irrational and unfounded might mobilize you to free yourself from its grip.

I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to wage a campaign to do just that. June can and should be Fighting for Your Freedom from Fear Month.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): During the next four weeks, I’ll celebrate if you search for and locate experiences that will heal the part of your heart that’s still a bit broken. My sleep at night will be extra deep and my dreams extra sweet if I know you’re drumming up practical support for your feisty ideals.

I’ll literally jump for joy if you hunt down new teachings that will ultimately ensure you start making a daring dream come true in 2019. And my soul will soar if you gravitate toward the mind-expanding kind of hedonism rather than the mindshrinking variety.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Everyone has a unique fate that’s interesting enough to write a book about. Each of us has at least one epic story to tell that would make people cry and laugh and adjust their thoughts about the meaning of life.

What would your saga be like? Think about what’s unfolding right now, because I bet that would be a ripe place to start your meditations. The core themes of your destiny are currently on vivid display, with new plot twists taking your drama in novel directions. Want to get started? Compose the first two sentences of your memoir.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I bet you’ll be offered at least one valuable gift, and possibly more. But I’m concerned that you may not recognize them for their true nature. So I’ve created an exercise to enhance your ability to identify and claim these gifts-in-disguise. Please ruminate on the following concepts: 1. a pain that can heal; 2. a shadow that illuminates; 3. an unknown or anonymous ally; 4. a secret that nurtures intimacy; 5. a power akin to underground lightning; 6. an invigorating boost disguised as tough love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I was a kid attending elementary schools in the American Midwest, recess was a core part of my educational experience. For 45 minutes each day, we were excused from our studies so we could indulge in free-form play—outdoors, if the weather was nice, or else in the gymnasium. But in recent years, schools in the U.S. have shrunk the time allotted for recess. Many schools have eliminated it altogether. Don’t they understand this is harmful to the social, emotional, and physical health of their students? In any case, Aquarius, I hope you move in the opposite direction during the coming weeks. You need more than your usual quota of time away from the grind. More fun and games, please! More messing around and merriment!

More recess!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For many years, actor Mel Blanc provided the voice for Bugs Bunny, a cartoon character who regularly chowed down on raw carrots. But Blanc himself did not like raw carrots. In a related matter, actor John Wayne, who pretended to be a cowboy and horseman in many movies, did not like horses. And according to his leading ladies, charismatic macho film hunk Harrison Ford is not even close to being an expert kisser. What about you, Pisces? Is your public image in alignment with your true self? If there are discrepancies, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make corrections. ∆
