s the nation battles over monuments and what they mean—or what they should mean—and who should be memorialized—or who should become unmemorialized—the city of San Luis Obispo gets to be angsty about a monument of its very own. The proposed statue of Theodore Roosevelt MONUMENT in Mitchell Park stirred up debate earlier this DEBATE While a group of locals year, and the project’s certainty has been in raise funds to flux ever since. Crossing issues of race, history, erect a Theodore Roosevelt and conservation, the discussion over our 26th monument in Mitchell Park, president dives so much deeper than the merits some say the of erecting a monument to him in our local former president is a poor choice park.

Templeton could soon vote to fund its fire department, county opted not to help

he Templeton Community Services District board will decide at its May 21 meeting whether to hold a special election to fund its fire and emergency services department. On May 7, the board held a workshop to inform the community about the lack of funding and resulting service lapses that the department is currently dealing with. A proposed parcel tax of $100 per year per parcel—adjusted annually for inflation and capped at 2 percent—could generate $486,000 each year for the department. The tax would allow the station to hire two new full-time firefighters, fill the full-time fire chief position, and create a three-shift platoon staffing configuration. Bill White, the department’s fire chief, said the community services district has one fire station that serves 8,000 residents. Currently, the district collects 8.4 cents to the dollar of property tax that is split between emergency service, district, and parks and recreation. He said limited funding from the county and the small amount of money received from property taxes only allow the station to be staffed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Night shifts are covered voluntarily by parttime firefighters when available. The community has experienced longer response times, and occasionally an emergency services crew is unable to respond to after-hours 911 calls.
According to a staff report, in 2018 there were 101 uncovered nights, and on those nights there were 103 calls for service with a delayed response time. While there was support from residents and Templeton Chamber of Commerce CEO Jessica Main, resident Roy Arbini questioned KEEPING IT LOCAL Templeton Fire and Emergency Services is whether the district was proposing a parcel tax in order to fund its services and personnel. transparently sharing all of the community’s options. Arbini suggested that if the department from the county.

White said that if Templeton’s fire service “The ad hoc committee basically said, ‘We’re were to be provided from Cal Fire County Fire not going to help any special districts with their Engine 30 located in Paso Robles, delayed funding issue.’ Even though they know we’re response times would increase. The staff only funded through property tax, so that door report states that in the last two years, Cal is basically shut to us right now,” White said.

Caltrans will begin work to close El Campo intersection
turns at El Campo Road, a private un-named road, Tower Grove Drive, and Hemi Road. “I think this is going to be a good improvement, and also, it’s about the issue of doing more long-term improvements like the overpass or interchanges along some of these areas … but that’s in the preliminary discussion stages,” Jones said. He said he commends the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) for doing a comprehensive study on closing the intersections and bringing everyone together—the California Highway Patrol, the city of Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo County, and the public. “It was clear that the community felt that it’s time to close some of these intersections,” Jones said. There will be lane closures along Highway 101 northbound on weeknights from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. and southbound from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Median access will be maintained for emergency responders at Hemi Road and Telephone Road. Jones said he wants to make it clear that roadwork would only be done in the highway median, so access to all local businesses and residences is still available. Closing the intersections was previously discussed in 2011 when Caltrans assessed the construction of concrete median barriers, but the study was rejected. In 2018, the fatal accident of Cal Poly student Jordan Grant and the advocacy of his parents, James and Becky Grant, to close the intersections spurred local public entities to revisit the study. James said he and his wife are feeling joy that this short-term fix for the intersections was accomplished in Jordan’s memory, and are also

feeling relief, knowing lives will be saved and many severe injuries avoided. “But we are still frequently overwhelmed by the loss of our sweet Jordan; it can be crippling. We have been proud to fight for our Jordan in this way, as we were so proud of him, but now that the immediate safety objective is accomplished, we still remain privately devastated,” he said. The next move for the Grants is to continue getting local neighbors organized around an action plan to start making progress on getting an underpass or overpass designed at an affordable price. They will also continue to fundraise and encourage others to join them to support the long-term solution. Peter Rodgers, SLOCOG executive director, said a future overpass has been included in the council’s long-range plans, but there is no readily available funding source to pay for a $35 million to $50 million interchange. “There are some more near-term improvements, like off-ramp improvements at Fair Oaks Avenue off-ramp, and it’s possible that some of the planning work for the future interchange could be integrated into those studies,” Rodgers said. —Karen Garcia

The City Council first adopted amendments to the commercial cannabis laws to include this sort of manufacturing in May 2018. Known as Type 2 manufacturing, volatile solvents like butane and propane are used to produce medicinal and adult-use cannabis products for distribution. “We’ve always wanted to have a legal place to do volatile extraction, and the fact that Grover Beach is allowing that is pretty special,” said Lab Tested owner Max Poswillo. Those extractions are set to happen in a special room that Poswillo described as “essentially a big wind tunnel where all the electrical [wiring] is intrinsically safe and won’t cause an explosion. So all the piping is fretted, you can only use classified electronics in there, I’ve got static-proof coating on the floor, and you can’t bring anything that isn’t rated for that environment.” To get the building up to code for volatile solvent extraction, the staff report stated that Lab Tested was required to obtain a preliminary report from a certified industrial hygienist. The report outlines the standard operating procedures of manufacturing cannabis with volatile solutions and the building construction methods that will ensure the safety of workers and the surrounding buildings and residences. The Five Cities Fire Authority approved the report, and before Lab Tested can start manufacturing, the hygienist, fire chief, and fire personnel must perform a walk-through of the facility and conduct a trial run of the extraction process. The Grover Beach Police Department will also be present for the walk-through and is working with Lab Tested to ensure the security and operations plans are up to code, according to a city staff report. Since January 2018, the City Council and the Planning Commission have approved 26 commercial cannabis permits, according to Rafael Castillo, a senior planner with the city’s Community Development
Department. Currently, there are five cannabis businesses under construction in Grover Beach: two manufacturing sites, two manufacturing/distribution sites, and one retail site. They all are slated to be open by the end of this summer. —Erica Hudson
SLO saw major uptick in sex assault reports last year The number of rapes and sexual assaults reported to San Luis Obispo police spiked 41 percent in 2018, a trend that the city attributes to higher rates of reporting amid the #MeToo movement. According to the city’s 2018 crime report, rape reports increased from 39 cases in 2017 to 51 cases in 2018. “It’s increasing,” SLO Police Chief Deanna Cantrell said at a May 7 City Council meeting. “I hope it’s that reporting is increasing and not that we’re having more sexual assaults, and I don’t believe that’s the case. I do believe that women are starting to feel more comfortable reporting more often.” Cantrell said the trend at the police department coincides with an even bigger
uptick in sex crimes reported to victim service groups, like RISE SLO, which saw its cases more than double last year over 2017. New avenues for victims to report their rapes and assaults are helping contribute to the rise in numbers, Cantrell said. Smart phone apps and web services like Seek Then Speak and Victim Link are removing barriers to reporting. “It’s one more way to report,” Cantrell said. “They can report right there without leaving the comfort of their own home.” In some of the cases, RISE can leverage the technology to share data with SLOPD—providing the department with information about the incident that the victim has consented to sharing. “We’ll take that as a statistic that we had a sexual assault, but we don’t know who the victim is, we may not know anything about that, but it will count as a statistic of knowing something happened in our city,” Cantrell said. “I think it’s a very good thing because we know that up to 90 percent of sexual assaults that are committed on college campuses, or cities where college campuses exist, go unreported.” In addition to an increase in rapes and sexual assaults, SLO police reported an 8 percent overall uptick in violent crime. Property crime was up 2 percent—but with a 56 percent spike in residential burglaries. —Peter Johnson
Emergency bystander trainings offered in wake of Oceano shooting
It’s been about a year since Santa Maria resident Scott Hunter retired after 30 years in firefighting and started offering free classes to Central Coast residents on ways to block massive bleeding injuries during violent incidents. The classes are part of a national awareness campaign called Stop the Bleed, which Hunter said was first launched by a coalition of first responders in 2013. In the same way that everyday citizens can learn CPR, Stop the Bleed trains people to stop major bleeding as bystanders during emergencies. While the campaign was initially a direct response to the 2012 school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, Hunter said it started to take off in 2017, when it became clear that incidents of mass violence were becoming increasingly common.

Hunter, who is also a trained EMT and part-time faculty member in public safety at Allan Hancock College, instantly loved the idea. He has a saying: “It’s not a matter of if, it’s simply a matter of when.” “The when happened,” Hunter told the Sun. At about midnight on May 5, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office received reports of a shooting at the Oceano Dunes. State Parks responded, according to a SLO County press release, and multiple victims were treated for gunshot wounds, including six who were rushed to local hospitals for further treatment. SLO County Sheriff’s Office detectives were dispatched to assist, and after taking the lead on the investigation, later arrested suspect Francisco Orozco, a 19-year-old Oakland resident, on attempted murder charges in connection with the shooting. No further information was available as of press time, according to the SLO Sheriff’s Office, and the investigation is ongoing. Hunter plans to help residents and park goers take safety measures into their own hands. He hopes residents will start to realize that emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere, and that it’s best to know how to save a life in that situation. “For us living on the Central Coast, it hit close to home,” Hunter said, “and for some people, for the people the Oceano, it happened in their backyard.” The Stop the Bleed classes are completely free of charge and typically run for about an hour and a half. Hunter said one Stop the Bleed report found that 32 percent of those killed in the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, died of massive bleeding wounds that could have been repaired and treated had the victims not bled out. A person can bleed out in four to five minutes, Hunter said, and that can be prevented by bystanders waiting for emergency personnel to arrive. While Hunter’s most recent Stop the Bleed training was scheduled for May 8 in Cayucos, he said he hopes to host more in the wake of the Oceano shooting. The plan is to do two each month—one in northern Santa Barbara County and another in SLO County. “This is a very important training, especially in the world we live in,” Hunter said. “I feel it’s something everyone should take. It’s basically turning citizens into first responders.” Δ —Kasey Bubnash

A dusty debate Locals and park goers workshop draft plan to reduce dust emitted by Oceano Dunes
I
t’s been more than 50 years since Jim Suty’s family first started traveling from the Bay Area to the Oceano Dunes. Since then, he can only remember three Thanksgiving dinners he’s spent away from the beach. To Suty, the debate over the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area is about more than just riding dirt bikes and ATVs. It’s about having a sanctuary away from the bustle of life in San Jose. It’s about family and giving his kids the same memories he’ll always have of holidays and weekends at the beach. “This fight is personal,” Suty told New Times. Suty was one of dozens of likeminded individuals who attended a public workshop on May 1 at the South County Regional Center in Arroyo Grande. They wore blue T-shirts to show unified opposition to possible cuts to camping and off-highway vehicle spaces in the Oceano Dunes state park. Hosted by the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and State Parks, the meeting was an opportunity for community members to give feedback on the Oceano Dunes Draft Particulate Matter Reduction Plan. The plan is required by a legal order that State Parks agreed to months ago, after the agency was nearly sued by the APCD for failing to address the park’s unnaturally high dust emissions. Health officials say the dust could be harmful to residents’ health and that fewer dust particles would be stirred up if vehicles were not allowed in the area. As part of the stipulated abatement order State Parks entered into, dust emissions must be cut by 50 percent by 2023. Suty, who is president of the Friends of Oceano Dunes, a nonprofit that advocates to keep the area as accessible as possible, said he thinks that shoddy data collection has led to misinformation. The emissions are naturally occurring, he said, and have been overstated in recent reports. One issue, Suty said, is that much of the emission data were collected in 2013, one of the area’s driest and windiest years in recent history, leading to abnormally high levels of dust. At the May 1 meeting, officials and scientists working on the dust mitigation project suggested creating a foredune, which confirmed Suty’s and others’ fears that their access could be limited or cut off. The proposed foredune would eventually grow native vegetation, run parallel to the ocean, and help slow the winds coming off the ocean, ultimately reducing the dust flowing into nearby communities. Suty doesn’t like that idea because the foredune would likely be built on space that’s currently used for camping, eliminating some swaths of
beach and campground space entirely. But scientists working on the project say that a foredune could be the most efficient way to see the biggest decreases. Ian Walker is a geologist working with the Science Advisory Group, an independent team of scientists tasked with researching the Oceano Dunes and providing recommendations on ways to improve the park’s dust emission rates. He’s worked on dozens of coastal dune projects worldwide and said that while Oceano is beautiful, “it’s anomalous.” “We don’t see the types of dust emissions that we see here in Oceano from most coastal dunes systems,” he said. “There are geologic reasons behind this, and there are other landuse activities behind this.” The Science Advisory Group first met in July 2018 and has since been working to gather emissions data. In 2013, Walker said the Nevada-based Desert Research Institute found that roughly 75 to 80 percent of Oceano’s collected dust emissions come from the off-highway vehicle area. Walker said that later this year, scientists will be re-collecting data similar to that collected in 2013. In 2018, State Parks implemented scores of dust mitigation strategies, including added vegetation and wind fencing, and saw a 25 percent drop in dust emissions from 2017 to 2018. To reach a 50 percent reduction, Walker said a foredune will likely be necessary. The Oso Flaco area has a foredune, and Walker said the dust emissions there are almost nonexistent. Community members and stakeholders will be able to submit comments regarding mitigation online until May 15, according to Gary Willey, director of the APCD, though the deadline may be extended until the end of this month. Tom Sherry—a Nipomo Mesa resident of about four years who attended the meeting wearing red alongside other locals concerned about air quality issues—said he appreciates the scientific, data-driven approach officials are taking. While the battle between Nipomo residents and Oceano recreators has been long and controversial, Sherry didn’t seem overly concerned about the situation. He said he’s just glad something is being done to protect Nipomo Mesa residents. “It’s a matter of ensuring that people who live here have a healthy environment,” Sherry said at the meeting. He then pointed toward those from the ATV community. “It’s for them, too.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash from our sister paper, the Sun, can be reached at kbubnash@santamariasun.com.

ike so many debates these days, this one started with a social media post. In January, as a group of San Luis Obispo residents honed plans to install a monument in Mitchell Park of former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt—who stopped by SLO in 1903 and gave a speech along his tour of the West—SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon found herself unable to shake a total lack of enthusiasm for the idea. “I just thought, ‘I don’t understand this at all,’” Harmon told New Times. “I don’t understand the why of it, on every level. Why here, why now, why him, why not multiple other people of different groups and representations, and then why monuments at all?” Especially in light of the THE GREAT LOOP recent tumult across the TOUR A few days country about monuments after former President depicting controversial Teddy Roosevelt gave historical figures, Harmon a speech in San Luis was uncomfortable with the Obispo, he and Sierra idea of permanently casting Club founder John Muir (right) met in the 26th president in bronze Yosemite.

PUBLIC ART Paula Zima, the artist behind Mission Plaza’s bear and child sculpture, is the sculptor for a proposed monument of former President Teddy Roosevelt. Objections from local indigenous groups and others have put the project on hold. 10 • New Times • May 9 - May 16, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com
to exhaust it, and go on. ... We wish to hand over our country to our children in better shape, not in worse shape, than we ourselves got it.” Ashbaugh detailed Roosevelt’s local stop in a 2015 article in the local publication La Vista: A Journal of Central Coast History. In his account, Ashbaugh makes the argument that “in that brief hour, we can find a touchstone for the fierce spirit of environmentalism. ... Succeeding generations—including our own—would follow Teddy Roosevelt’s clarion call in efforts to preserve landmarks like Morro Rock, the Nipomo Dunes, and the Carrizo Plain.” Roosevelt’s visit, according to Ashbaugh, left an imprint on local leaders who were present, including future SLO Mayor Louis Sinsheimer, whose father was on Roosevelt’s welcoming committee. “He was like the original progressive in SLO, just like Roosevelt was nationally,” Ashbaugh said about Sinsheimer, and added, “[Roosevelt] only spent an hour in SLO, but it was a very important hour.”
JOHNSON this trip, we would probably be a different place than we are now.”
‘A very important hour’
On May 9, 1903—116 years ago to this issue’s publication date—President Roosevelt’s train pulled into the South Pacific Railroad Station in SLO at around 5:30 p.m. Heading north from Santa Barbara, the stop marked roughly the halfway point in the president’s 14,000-mile railroad trip across the Western U.S., which would next take him to Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and then Yosemite to meet Sierra Club founder John Muir. The Great Loop Tour, as the whole journey was called, influenced Roosevelt in later establishing dozens of national parks, monuments, forests, and wildlife preserves. During his short visit, Roosevelt toured Mission San Luis Obispo and then went to an open lot called the Murphy block (today, Mitchell Park), where he spoke to a crowd of about 10,000 people—more than half the county’s population at the time. “He was the first real media celebrity as a president,” said Ashbaugh, a history faculty member at Allan Hancock College. “He was a hero of the Spanish-American War, but that’s all people really knew about him, and that he was regarded as a reformer. People needed that, just like we need it now.” In a 15-minute speech, Roosevelt gave praise to SLO’s agricultural abundance and sustainable way of life. “We have passed the stage as a nation,” Roosevelt said in his address, “when we can afford to tolerate the man whose aim it is merely to skin the soil and go on; to skin the country, to take off the timber,
While SLO is a town with plenty of public art, to date there are no statues or monuments on city grounds honoring specific individuals. Subjects depicted in existing sculptures—like the Chinese rail worker memorial (Iron Road Pioneers) by the train station, the bear and child (Tequski wa Suwa) in Mission Plaza, and the Plains Indian (Oh Great Spirit) on Prado Road—are symbolic and nameless. “Those are caricatures of cultures and people who were important in our history,” SLO City Manager Derek Johnson explained. “This [the Roosevelt statue] is different; this is to an individual. I think it adds a totally different element.” To Ashbaugh, Roosevelt is a worthy candidate for the city’s first monument in Mitchell Park. “Just in the field of conservation, the guy deserves recognition as a great leader of our nation,” Ashbaugh said. Ashbaugh’s idea for the monument drew interest from New Mexico artist Paula Zima, a former SLO County resident and the artist behind the bear and child statue in Mission Plaza as well as both of the Los Osos greeting bears, among other public artworks. She agreed to sign on to the project. “I’ve been a lifelong fan of Teddy Roosevelt,” Zima told New Times. “I love to sculpt. I took it on as a challenge and found I really love doing portraits.” As the ball got rolling on the concept, Ashbaugh linked up with Arts Obispo for fiscal sponsorship (to receive private donations) and formed a monument committee that began meeting regularly in 2017 about the project. The group developed a vision of a bronze Roosevelt, seated at Mitchell Park in a redwood grove and wearing the same clothes he wore with Muir in Yosemite, with scattered boulders for public seating, informational plaques, and tributes to other local conservation heroes. “The idea is you’re sitting around a campfire with Teddy Roosevelt,” Zima said, adding that she envisions the casting process taking place locally in Paso Robles. The group started raising money to hit an estimated $150,000 target, knowing the project would eventually require approval by an arts jury and city advisory bodies—standard procedure for public art in the city. The committee had raised about $50,000 and produced two maquettes of the statue, before community scrutiny befell the proposal.
“We had no negative feedback until earlier this year,” Zima said.
‘Continuum of harm’
Not everyone in town felt the strong, local connection to Roosevelt that Ashbaugh did. Mayor Harmon wondered about other candidates for a statue, like women’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony or Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan, who both spent time and made an impact in SLO County. Those choices would also break the national trend of memorializing white men. But Harmon also feels wary of monuments in general. “Monuments are sort of implicitly problematic,” Harmon said. “When we pick off one person, especially from our past, undoubtedly these are complex humans who have done some great things and, generally speaking, some challenging things that we no longer respect.” Harmon’s Jan. 10 Facebook post raising questions about the project sparked an intense response from citizens and groups agreeing—and disagreeing—with her objections. Local indigenous leaders expressed opposition, pointing to Roosevelt’s views and policies toward Native Americans. A 2016 article in Indian Country Today PHOTO COURTESY OF PIERRE RADEMAKER

described Roosevelt’s presidency from 1901 to 1909 as, “marked by his support of the Indian allotment system, the removal of Indians from their lands, and the destruction of their culture. Although he earned a reputation as a conservationist … Roosevelt systematically marginalized Indians, uprooting them from their homelands to create national parks and monuments, speaking publicly about his plans to assimilate them, and using them as spectacles to build his political empire.” Similarly, some locals adopt this view of Roosevelt’s legacy. In a Jan. 15 letter sent to the SLO City Council, the Northern Chumash Tribal Council (NCTC) urged the city to reject the monument “celebrating a president that by today’s standards would be war criminal.” “I would like to ask the council to send a clear message that [the] city and community
continued. “We love them too because that’s where we used to live.” The debate over statues and monuments—what they signify, what history they promote, and whether some are best removed or omitted— isn’t unique to SLO, nor is it always confined to cyberspace. Two years ago, one of the largest white supremacist rallies in recent history took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, in protest of a city decision to remove a Confederate monument to Gen. Robert E. Lee. It ended in bloodshed—the murder of counterprotester Heather Heyer.

By Roosevelt’s death in 1919, Ashbaugh PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM argues that the 26th president had “transformed into what most people could look at as the first white civil rights leader of the 20th century.” “He’s entertaining Booker T. Washington in the White House in 1901. He advocates against the most evil, abhorrent aspect of the Jim Crow era, lynching. … By the time he’s elected president in 1904, he has six Native American tribal [chiefs] marching in his [inaugural] parade,” Ashbaugh said. “So you can cherry-pick things he says here and there that make it look like he’s fundamentally racist, but he’s not. He was very much dedicated to the civil liberties of all Americans and of immigrants.” That perspective is challenged by community members with a different perspective and a different heritage. While Ashbaugh said, “We have to accept the fact that the hand of history writes and having written, moves on,” for many, the traumas inflicted by America’s history of colonialism and racism remain ever-present. “It’s a scar,” Sage Walker said. “The reaction from the monument people was STATUE DEBATE All of SLO’s existing public statues depict symbolic subjects, that they could change our minds.

It’s a testament to President Roosevelt. ... There was some disregard— and that’s a mild word—in Mr. Roosevelt’s opinion of indigenous people. “But aside from that,” Tucker continued, “President Roosevelt has been well [recognized] throughout the United States. ... How many people do you know have a 60-foot carving of their face on the side of a mountain?” In response to the budding opposition, the Roosevelt monument committee proposed the addition of an “interpretative sign” at the site that would include “a frank description of Roosevelt’s overall record on racial matters.” “We invite our Native American neighbors to help us write this narrative,” the monument committee wrote in a Feb. 12 piece published in the Tribune. “One of the objectives of public art is to foster communication and debate among those whom it serves.” NCTC Chair Fred Collins penned a response with a simple message: “Stop this cultural genocide project.” “To honor this man … in our Northern Chumash Lands is one of the lowest ideas we have ever heard, a man of genocide, people should be ashamed,” Collins wrote in the Feb. 16 letter. “We want to forget this monster.” The swift and sudden backlash put Ashbaugh and the committee on its heels. The City Council voted to agendize a discussion about city monument policies, which will take place at a July 16 meeting. In the interim, Ashbaugh has reached out to individual City Council members to request meetings about the project. Those

Improving our soil T
he state of California has big goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and safeguarding the state from impacts of climate change by protecting and managing natural and working lands. According to the California Air Resources Board website, state and local efforts are being made to manage land for carbon sequestration to work with existing plans and programs protecting California’s water supply, agricultural lands, and wildlife habitat. Healthy and resilient natural and working lands provide sustainable public benefits such as water filtration, improved air quality, and soil fertility that supports food production, according to California’s 2030 Climate Commitment. Two out-of-state companies are working with local produce growers to join the carbon sequestration effort and improve soil health on the Central Coast. Colorado-based company Cool Planet (with an office in Camarillo) and Idahobased Simplot are teaming up to release Cool Terra, a product that looks like black charcoal rocks. Cool Terra is a biochar-based amendment product that is engineered to improve soil health, reduce water consumption, and help optimize fertilizer use, while sequestering carbon.
Jim Loar, Cool Planet’s president and CEO, said the company used to invest in biofuels but realized longstanding investment in the future should go toward biocarbon. Biocarbon—biological storage of carbon—refers to nature’s ability to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in trees, plants, and soils. Cool Terra is an engineered biocarbon technology produced from biomass that works to improve soil health and adds carbon to soil. Loar said Cool Terra performs a similar function to what a coral reef does in the ocean. “If you have a coral reef in the ocean, it supports sea life; [our product] provides structure resource and habitat for the things that live in the soil,” Loar said. Don Perry, Simplot’s organic product manager, said if someone were to see a microscopic picture of the Cool Terra, it looks like each particle has little holes. That characteristic gives it the ability to house nutrients and moisture right around the root zone of a plant’s roots. “Cool Terra supports life in the soil, provides structure, increases water intake, nutrient availability, and creates a very unique habitat for soil microbes,” Loar said. The partnership has been testing the product over the course of three years. Their

findings concluded that Cool Terra improves soils that are of lower quality, such as sandy soils and soils that lack organic matter. Loar said they’ve seen the best results with crops such as strawberries, alfalfa, tomatoes, potatoes, and lettuce. Both companies say that experts consider most of the soil in the United States to be degraded or very degraded. “If you really think about it, your very existence and mine depends on the little bit of topsoil that we have out here in the hopes that it’s going to rain or that we can irrigate, so soil health is critical if we’re going to feed a growing population,” Loar said.

Opinion Roosevelt deserves to continue being memorialized
I
’d suggest that Theodore Roosevelt deserves as much recognition today as he did when he was included among other great presidents who were memorialized on Mount Rushmore. His legacy includes changing the nation’s political system by placing emphasis on the presidency as a public centerpiece of our nation, despite what Donald Trump has done to disparage the office. Roosevelt is heralded as the architect of not only the modern presidency as a world leader, but for his liberal proposals that led to FDR’s New Deal era. He fought for the rights of the Creek Indians and other tribes when they were cheated out of land parcels; he fought Standard Oil and other corporate anti-trust violators regarding unfair pricing and monopolizing markets; and at the 1884 GOP National Convention in Chicago, he gave a speech convincing delegates to nominate African-American John R. Lynch to be its temporary chair. Roosevelt was a conservationist: “He was proudest of his work in conservation of natural resources and extending federal protection to land and wildlife. By the end of his second term in office, Roosevelt used executive orders to establish 150 million acres of reserved forestry land,” according to the Theodore Roosevelt Wikipedia page. He was also father of the Food and Drug Administration for his early efforts to regulate food safety. Again, he is a hero to liberals for his “proposals in 1907-12 that presaged the modern welfare state of FDR’s New Deal

era,” (from Wikipedia), and that put the environment on the national agenda. I don’t understand all of this blather and complaints regarding a statue of him going up in some park, except that some women find another statue of a man anywhere offensive. Men aren’t from Mars, and women aren’t from Venus. We’re from the same damned planet. Nicholas Campbell San Luis Obispo

Republicans had their chance and blew it
Let me remind Jan Lipski (“We need solutions,” May 2) that both houses had a Republican majority for two years under President Barack Obama and for two additional years under the current administration, and no legislation was passed on immigration reform even though a majority of voters agreed that it was needed. The complicated mess you are commenting on is not the fault of the Democrats. Furthermore, the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) proposal did not come as legislation but was proposed by Trump to punish all of those Dreamers who know no other country but ours by cutting off their protections under DACA.

Let’s get moving
I don’t purport to be an expert on traffic solutions, but I believe that roundabouts are a much needed means to keep traffic flowing. I have been all over Europe on many occasions and find roundabouts to be much better solution than signals. Many roundabouts are a half mile or less apart and pose no problem. We Americans are just beginning to see roundabouts sprout up in American cities. Take Lake Tahoe for example. They already have several roundabouts around the lake. Take the wye at Tahoe City, which has a terrible backup problem due to the signals. We are talking miles of backup at peak times. They plan to put in a roundabout to keep traffic flowing. I believe once people get used to them, they will like them. Highway 227 would be a good start. Another location that badly needs one is the intersection of

Diablo Canyon already produces clean energy
I see the Mothers for Peace is once again assuring us that PG&E will keep its word and replace Diablo Canyon Power Plant’s production with a costeffective, greenhouse-gas-free portfolio of whatever (“Our energy future doesn’t include nuclear,” May 2). I assume they are referring to the same PG&E that promised it wouldn’t start any more fires; the same PG&E that is not going to be keeping a whole lot of promises because it is bankrupt, and the same PG&E that has recently been abandoned by most of the corporate officers that made all those promises. Yeah, right. I should know as I was once a shareholder, and it promised to pay me dividends. It doesn’t matter anyway, and the logic is simple, so simple that it is possibly understandable even to the Mothers for Peace. If this wondrous greenhouse-gasfree portfolio is dedicated to replacing the massive non-carbon-emitting production of Diablo Canyon, that means it is not reducing an equally massive amount of production from carbon-emitting sources elsewhere. The end result is more greenhouse-gas emissions in the atmosphere. That’s it, or would it help if I wrote bigger or something? All I know for sure is that besides adding carbon to the atmosphere, the closure of Diablo Canyon will also cost our community hundreds of millions in local LETTERS continued page 15

tax revenue over a 20-year period, and a billion or so a year in indirect economic benefits. It will force the relocation of well more than a thousand of our neighbors and their families, who have lived and worked in this community for decades. It seems a heavy price to pay just because some people are scared of nuclear power, which over time has proven to be the safest of all forms of power production. So much for the Home of the Brave.

Equal application of the law
Every Fourth of July, we wave around American flags with great pride. Those flags are a symbol for something. That something is our Constitution. A brave experiment holding that we flagwaving citizens can govern ourselves with the rule of law. For this brave experiment to work, our laws have to apply equally to everyone. Everyone. Maria Lorca Paso Robles
Clean air is an everybody issue
At a recent congressional hearing, in response to accusations that climate change and the solutions proposed in the Green New Deal are issues for “rich liberals from … California,” U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) reminded us that climate change is “not an elitist issue; this is a quality of life issue.” The New York congresswoman may be considered a polarizing figure to some, but she is 100 percent right about this—climate change is affecting all communities, not just “elite” enclaves. While California remains a climate leader with its historic greenhouse gas emission policies, 100 percent renewable energy law, and zero-emission vehicle goals, it is essential that environmental equity be prioritized in our state policies. While we all may contribute to poor air quality, the impact is not shared equally. Disadvantaged communities throughout the state have suffered the most. A state report by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment reminds us that our largest climate polluters are located disproportionately in communities of color and along with the greenhouse gases they emit come toxic air contaminants that clog our lungs, devastate public health, and impair our quality of life. This May as we celebrate Clean Air Month, we have the opportunity to educate the public about the correlation between clean air and respiratory health. We can also acknowledge the enormous, positive impact that the 1970 Clean Air Act has had on the way people think about the environment—both locally and globally. I was recently appointed to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state agency primarily responsible for protecting the public from the harmful effects of air pollution. Created by Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1967, the board is committed to a unified, statewide approach to reducing and eliminating the sources of air pollution in the state. The Community Air Protection Program, implemented by CARB, is a first-of-itskind effort to improve air quality in

Earth urgency
When will the Central Coast really get going on protecting our climate? Some folks are doing everything they can. Most of us, though, are either picking at climate solutions or pretty much ignoring this catastrophic and looming problem. We are still burning fossil fuel like it is going out of style. With our mega pickups and SUVs, we are digging our children’s environmental graves. We heat and cool our houses with gas and eat tons of meat, thus ensuring a desolate and desperate future for our descendants. Politically, some of our local governments try to push climate healthy policies such as banning oil well drilling in the Oxnard plain, limiting dangerous oil extraction projects over the Santa Maria groundwater basin, and joining safe energy cooperatives in SLO and Morro Bay cities. Overwhelmingly, the scientific community urges us to take much more dramatic and persistent action to avoid the worst effects of the growing climate crisis. Local and national solutions abound. We just choose to dither and scoff at these remedies. The Green New Deal stagnates in our Congress as we focus on our comfort and saving money. Can we sacrifice our current comforts for our community’s future? Greta Thunberg, a Swedish teen climate activist, who initiated the school strike for climate, said it best in challenging our generation. “Our house is on fire.” “I want you to panic.” “I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.” Larry Bishop Buellton

BY AL FONZI
Cries for help remain unanswered
T
here are several biblical references that most Americans should be familiar with, the first being the story of the “Good Samaritan” told by Christ when asked “who is our brother?” Samaritans were an outcast sect in ancient Judea, despised by the Jewish community. The story tells of a man beset by thieves, beaten, and left for dead on a road. A priest saw him and passed by on the other side of the road. Then a Levite saw him and also passed him by, followed by a Samaritan, who took pity on the man, treated his injuries, and transported him to an inn, paying for his upkeep and recovery out of pocket. It’s comparable to finding a homeless person injured and abandoned and caring for him today. In the Old Testament book of Proverbs is an admonition to, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, ‘But we knew nothing about this,’ does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?” (Proverbs 11:12) The latter reminds me of the story related before in these pages of the actions of a Christian denomination in Nazi Germany in WWII. As they sang in church on a Sunday, a freight train pulled into a nearby station, transporting Jews to the death camps in the East. Their cries for water and mercy could be clearly heard by the congregation. Like all too many under the iron heel of the Nazis, their response was decidedly unchristian: They sang louder to drown out the cries of the doomed. In WWII, President Franklin D. Roosevelt also turned a deaf ear to pleas to help the Jews. He denied requests to take in European Jews lest it upset labor unions’ opposition to immigration and potential competition for jobs. Roosevelt turned away the MS St. Louis with more than 900 Jewish refugees that couldn’t find a port anywhere in the world to dock, eventually returning to Nazi Germany where historians believe that many of its passengers died in concentration camps. Roosevelt opposed assisting the Czech and Polish people during and after the war to re-establish their independence, surrendering to Stalin’s Soviet Union sovereignty over their homelands. The Poles especially had served the Allied cause well, breaking the German Enigma codes before the war, providing the Enigma cypher machine to the British. Thousands of Polish soldiers fought alongside the British throughout the war; Polish airmen fought with great distinction in the Battle of Britain, and the top fighter squadron in that seminal battle was the Polish Squadron, shooting down more Nazi aircraft than any other squadron. So too did Poles fight with distinction on the ground, breaking through Nazi defenses in Italy, capturing the Monte Casino monastery after both American and British units were decimated. In Normandy Polish paratroops fought alongside the British and jumped into Holland during the Market Garden operation to seize bridges to facilitate an early crossing of the Rhine River into Nazi Germany. They experienced devastating casualties due to British malfeasance but
16 • New Times • May 9 - May 16, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com
still fought on with ferocity. At war’s end their country was betrayed at the Yalta conference, which gave Stalin a free hand in Eastern Europe. Repatriated Polish soldiers and Polish resistance fighters were sent to Soviet concentration camps, branded as “fascists” by Stalin because they fought with Allied forces, who were now the new enemy of the Soviet Union. The Polish accomplishments and Roosevelt’s actions are detailed in Lynne Olson’s 2017 book Last Hope Island: Britain, Occupied Europe, and the Brotherhood that Helped Turn the Tide of War. Today we stand by and watch as the people of Venezuela are crushed by armored vehicles, met with bullets against the stones they threw at Nicolás Maduro’s armored vehicles in Caracas. They have no food; their young people scavenge in garbage trucks for any morsel. They have no water and gather what they can from sewer ditches. ATMs don’t work as there hasn’t been electrical power since the grid first failed in March, a result of years of neglect, cronyism, and corruption by the socialist government that first seized the power companies and then failed to maintain the system. There is no food to buy on empty shelves, and the Maduro government refuses to allow international aid into the country. More than 30,000 people cross Colombia’s borders each day to try to obtain food, assuming they have something to trade or buy it with. More than 3 million people have fled the
country; those who could fled early; most cannot leave. The hospitals have no medicine, and those in intensive care or children’s wards with serious illnesses or injuries are “left in the hands of God,” as there is neither medicine nor electrical power to keep respirators and other lifesaving equipment powered on. Venezuela is destitute and dying, yet we, who could do something, do nothing. We even have congresswomen who side with the Maduro regime and castigate America for even considering intervention. Our military is a third of its former size in 1991 and heavily committed elsewhere; no carriers are en route to the Caribbean, no airborne troops alerted, nor Marine Corps amphibious units preparing to deploy. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo remarked in a press conference on May 4 that 20,000 Cubans, Russian Special Forces, and Iranians are present in Venezuela to protect Maduro, along with China providing cyber intervention to shut down resistance access to social media communications. A humanitarian disaster with national security implications is unfolding in our backyard, and we are crossing to the other side of the road, refusing to see or help. ∆ Al Fonzi is an Army lieutenant colonel of military intelligence who had a 35year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

The Shredder
Teddy (laid) bare
T
o monumentalize or not to monumentalize? That is the question! The answer seems to be, “Yes,” if you’re willing to be selective about history, and “No,” if you want to think beyond “monuments to white men.” The controversy surrounds erecting a monument to 26th U.S. President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt in SLO’s Mitchell Park, to commemorate Teddy’s May 9, 1903, stop in SLO Town, where he toured Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa and gave a 15-minute speech to a crowd of 10,000 before hopping back on a train to meet John Muir in Yosemite. In one corner is former SLO City Councilmember John “White Guys Rule” Ashbaugh, who’s spearheading the effort to get artist Paula Zima’s proposed sculpture cast and installed, and in the other corner we have SLO Mayor Heidi “I’ve Had it Up to Here with White Men” Harmon, who thinks the U.S. needs another white man with a checkered past monument like it needs more coal-burning power plants. Ashbaugh thinks Roosevelt was a great man worthy of celebration for his environmentalism. He’s willing to ignore the whole Native American genocide thing, which also—by the way—occurred at our local mission. I wonder if Teddy’s tour included viewing Indian whipping posts. “I think all of us deserve to be judged in the context of our times,” Ashbaugh told
New Times. Yeah, I get it. Like Andrew Jackson, our seventh president, who’s hilariously on the $20 bill even though he opposed both the National Bank and paper money. In his farewell speech, Jackson said, “The Constitution of the United States unquestionably intended to secure to the people a circulating medium of gold and silver.” Before that, of course, Jackson—whose nickname was “Indian Killer” and “Sharp Knife”—was a wealthy slave owner and infamous Indian killer who recommended U.S. troops systematically murder Indian men, women, and children. Great guy in his time, right? More embarrassingly, Jackson’s the founder of the Democratic Party. How in the hell did the GOP get “Honest” Abe Lincoln while the Dems got stuck with this asshole? My point is, in his time, many thought Jackson was a great man. Plenty of people loved Adolf Hitler. I hear Genghis Khan was worshipped. The Marquis de Sade was a blast at parties. Just because someone got away with egregious behavior “in his time” is no reason to give him a pass “in our time.” And just because someone did some good things doesn’t mean we celebrate him and ignore the bad things. Hitler
was an avowed Christian and pen pals with Mahatma Gandhi. He stamped out usury. Nice work, Adolf! Now about those 6 million Jews … . “The way I look at it, if [Roosevelt] had not come, if he had bypassed SLO on this trip, we would probably be a different place than we are now,” Ashbaugh also claimed. Different how? Would Heidi Harmon be driving a diesel monster truck instead of riding a bike? I know you’re an Allan Hancock College history lecturer and all, John, but how the hell do you know we’d be in a different place if Roosevelt hadn’t stopped in SLO to deliver a 15-minute speech? Ashbaugh is nothing if not tenacious in his defense of Roosevelt: “He’s entertaining Booker T. Washington in the White House in 1901. He advocates against the most evil, abhorrent aspect of the Jim Crow era, lynching. By the time he’s elected president in 1904, he has six Native American tribal [chiefs] marching in his [inaugural] parade, so you can cherry-pick things he says here and there that make it look like he’s fundamentally racist, but he’s not.” Um, just like you can cherry-pick good things he did to make it look like he’s not fundamentally racist, when he is. “Look at my Native Americans over there. Are you the greatest?” I imagine Roosevelt pointing and saying, Trumplike. And an African-American leader in the White House? Feel you, Kanye! And saying it’s wrong to lynch black people. Wow. So progressive!
I have an idea! How about we don’t have any monuments to historical figures? The mission has a statue of Father Junípero Serra, who was real fond of saving Native American souls, teaching them farming, and whipping the shit out of them if they didn’t capitulate. Maybe we should stop with just that one, eh? I like public art like kinetic sculptor Jeffrey Laudenslager’s Olas PortolaFuenta Seca, which greets downtown visitors at the intersection of Higuera and Marsh. It’s fun to watch when I’m super stoned. And speaking of super stoned, one final note—SLO Police Department Chief Deanna Cantrell just released a press release about the 2018 crime report, which had a mix of good news and “areas for improvement,” it euphemistically stated, including this gem: “After several years of an unprecedented increase in crime, 2018 ended with a 2 percent increase overall,” which basically means, “Good news! The crime increase is slowing!” Slow. Clap. Clap. My very favorite part, however, is when Cantrell states that the “upcoming 201921 financial plan will include funding for two additional officer positions to address cannabis integration in SLO.” Huh? Now that cannabis is legal you need two more officers than when it was illegal? Head scratcher, eh? ∆ The Shredder demands a life-size statue of itself … the full 18 inches.

OUTLAWS AND NE’ER-DO-WELLS The Creston Line will release their sophomore fulllength album, Fool’s Gold, with a show at Bristol’s Ciderhouse on May 10.
The Creston Line releases a gut-punch new album
T
he Creston Line frontman Jon Bartel starts his new eight-song album, Fool’s Gold, with his Yoko moment about a relationship that changes the protagonist’s imagined life trajectory: “Your daddy took one look at me and he gave me the evil eye/ But you like to sweep the gutter so you come down here to die/ On the night that we got married yeah you smoked a blue Gauloises/ I wrote you up some lyrics got ’em tattooed on my arm// Now the boys keep on dancing with the whiskey/ The girls keep on sleeping with the damned/ And it used to feel like glamour now it feels a lot like greed/ You and I keep gunning down the dream/ You and I keep breaking up the band// Now it’s late nights at the dive bars early mornings with the kids/ Words we never said and words we wish we never did/ It’s sneaking out that backdoor for that midnight cigarette/ You taste it when you kiss me I’ll bet it tastes just like regret,” he sings on “Gunning Down the Dream.” It’s a potent opener to an album filled with hooky, literate, desperate, amazing songs written by one of our area’s best songwriters. The songs range from a modern twist on an Old West ballad with “David and Caroline,” to some John Moreland-style, triple-distilled, deeply emotional shit like “Waiting Ain’t My Style.” “I was down in Houston just wandering around to see what I could see/ When all of a sudden a gunfight broke out in the street next to me/ The outlaw in the duster he carried him a sawed-off shotgun/ The other man was David Green he carried him a Navy 51/ David got two rounds off and caught a load of buckshot

in the chest/ Blood it came a-weepin’ like a funeral mourner out of his vest/ I kneeled down beside him in the dust and blood to see what he would say/ He turned around to look at me his teeth were set his eyes were gray// He said tell my momma I ain’t coming home/ Tell my daddy I lit out alone/ Tell my Caroline I’m gonna miss her all the time/ Tell her I tried, tried, tried, Lord Caroline!” he sings on “David and Caroline”—a fun romp through outlaw country. Compare it, however, to the real emotional stakes of “Waiting Ain’t My Style”: “The first time I thought of suicide man I was just 17/ I got her home two hours late with a cum stain on my jeans/ Her daddy made her tell me to my face that we were done/ So I went flirting with the highway angels out on 41/ Townes took all the codeine and there ain’t a bar for miles/ I don’t really drink that much/
And waiting ain’t my style.” “It’s a dark album,” Bartel admitted during a text exchange, “but it’s as raw as I’ve ever gotten with songs, I think.” Bartel is a true poet, and the songs’ melodies have a familiar feel, making them immediately accessible. But he’s always ready to throw an unexpected turn into the music. Two of the songs will feel very familiar if you were a fan of Bartel’s rock band, American Dirt— both “Pinewood Box” and “Dirty Streets” were American Dirt songs, but they’ve been retooled to fit The Creston Line’s Americana sound. Bartel and The Creston Line will release Fool’s Gold ($12) on Friday, May 10, with a show at A-Town’s Bristol’s Ciderhouse (7 p.m.; free), with JW Teller opening. The album will also be at Boo Boo Records in SLO and Traffic Records in A-Town. You can stream it at
Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify. This is The Creston Line’s second fulllength, and you’ll wish there were four or five more songs on it. Each one’s a gem, from the indigo-dark folk to the galloping alt country. “The album focuses on the themes of hard fought relationships, anxiety, addiction, suicide, and the daily battle against cynicism and despair,” Bartel explained in press materials. “Despite the intense subject matter, the songs are resolute in one thing—life is better than death; the spontaneous, frustrated exclamation at the end of ‘Dirty Streets’ sort of says it all—‘I ain’t gonna go.’” For the full effect, here’s a bit more of “Dirty Streets”: “I walked into that barroom and laid my money down for a drink/ The barman said no way man your money ain’t

no good here but thanks/ I only wanted whiskey to warm my bones up at the bar/ To listen to that young man singing songs about the sea and stars// But I think they’re trying to throw me out into the dirty streets/ Yeah I think they’re trying to throw me out into the dirty streets/ I think they’re trying to throw me out/ Yeah I think they’re trying to throw me out/ I think they’re trying to throw me out into the fuckin’ street/ I ain’t gonna go.” If you want to listen to some kickass Americana delivered by a terrific band, you should go!
For moms and Live Oakies
The lineup for the 31st annual Live Oak Music Festival has been finalized, and in the weeks preceding the Friday, June 21, through Sunday, June 23, festival, I’ll be featuring some of the bands, but this Sunday, May 12, you can check out two of this year’s Live Oak acts when KCBX 90.1FM and Good Medicine Presents offer a free Mother’s Day and Live Oak teaser show (1 p.m.; all ages; free). Soulful Americana act Moonshiner Collective and alternative rock act Carbon City Lights will both play “Mother’s Day in The Mission.” Moonshiner Collective is multiinstrumentalist singer-songwriter Dan Curcio and whomever he’s enlisted from his large range of musical cohorts— playing rock, blues, funk, and more. According to press materials, “The band name and ethos was derived from the experiences Curcio had playing music under the moon and stars with friends while living in a yurt overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the small California beach town of Cayucos.” The current lineup includes Ryan House (drums), Mark Pruett (keys), Ricky Reid (lead guitar), and Mikey Socias (bass), and Curcio (guitar, piano, vocals). Carbon City Lights is a groovy alternative rock band based in SLO. They blend folk, pop, and rock with some funk. Performances feature extended jams with tight rhythm and dueling guitars.
COMATOSE BROTHER Ben Morrison of Brothers Comatose and his band play The Siren on May 12, touring in support of his debut solo project. HANDSOME DAN Moonshiner Collective, featuring Dan Curcio, plays a free Mother’s Day and Live Oak Music Festival teaser show on May 12, in the SLO Mission Plaza.

HAUNTED When a night of fun goes awry, the dead and the living must duke it out in Noël Coward’s comic play, Blithe Spirit. From left to right: Mrs. Violet Bradman (Rosh Wright), Dr. George Bradman (Gary Paul-Clark), Edith (Kerry DiMaggio), Charles Condomine (Toby Tropper), Ruth Condomine (Rachel Tietz), Madame Arcati (Suzy Newman), and Elvira Condomine (Katie WorleyBeck).
director. “In this case, of course, the trouble is a ghost.” Once the shock wears off, Blithe Spirit continues to poke fun at the sheer impracticalities of having one’s wife come back from the dead. After all, how is Ruth supposed to feel anything less than furious when her husband’s long-dead wife demands to be driven to the picture show when it’s pouring rain? Awkward. Things take a comic yet sinister turn when it becomes clear that Elvira is tired of being the only restless spirit in the house. Tropper, Worley-Beck, and Tietz play off one another naturally with clever quips and comedic timing as they struggle to work out their unfortunate love triangle. And Newman as Arcati wholly transforms into her character—a whimsical, ethereal medium who talks to ghosts and falls into a trance at the drop of a hat. The entirety of the show takes place in the Condomines’ parlor, which might as well be a cast member in its own right. Artfully timed flashing lights and backstage magic come together to create an otherworldly vibe as shaking picture frames, flying tables, and a rickety chandelier— which looks about an inch from dropping—seamlessly add depth to the storyline. At longer than 2 1/2 hours, Blithe Spirit is a long show, but the comedic timing, plot twists, onstage talent, and pleasantly spooky atmosphere make the time positively fly for audiences.

Banality of evil J oe Berlinger (Brother’s Keeper, Whitey: United States v. James J. Bulger, Cold Blooded: The Cutter Family Murders) directs Elizabeth Kendall’s script based on Michael Werwie’s 1981 true crime book The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy, which chronicles the capture and trial of serial killer Ted Bundy (Zac Efron), who police apprehended thanks to a tip by Bundy’s longtime girlfriend, Liz Kendall (Lily Collins). The trial mesmerized 1970s America. (110 min.) Glen I, and I think all of us, should be embarrassed by our fascination with serial killers. After all, they’re disgusting excuses for human beings who would be better off forgotten rather than a source of entertainment. And yet here we are watching another film about a depraved killer. Maybe it’s because it’s so difficult to imagine what it would take to go there—to lure, rape, and murder. Maybe it’s because people like Ted Bundy had relationships, friends, and lovers, and we can’t imagine how they didn’t know, didn’t suspect, didn’t realize they were in the presence of evil. That’s really what’s at the heart of this new Netflix film, which almost never resorts to depicting the violence and the horror of Bundy’s crimes. Instead, it focuses on his relationship with Kendall and her daughter as well as his apprehension, his escapes, and his eventual trial in Florida—the state that put him to death in 1989. His charisma and intelligence were enough to have many people believing he may be innocent, and the film has the good sense to allow its viewers the same misconception by never showing him committing his crimes … until the very end. Instead of walking through the sleaze and sensationalism of Bundy’s deeds, this film is about how he manipulated and how he passed through society undetected, eventually killing 30 women. Pretty boy Efron, who grew up in Arroyo Grande, is perfectly cast as the killer, and between his resemblance to Bundy, his skillful affectation of Bundy’s mannerisms and speech patterns, and the public’s knowledge of Bundy and his crimes, it feels like you’re in the moment. I just feel a little guilty that I’m interested and giving this reprobate my attention 40 years after his crimes and 30

years after his execution. Anna As someone who is enthralled with the world of true crime, this is an argument I’ve had countless times. Bundy was fractions of what he has been touted as for years—a good looking, smart, charismatic charmer. It simply isn’t true, and glorifying a malicious killer should never be the aim in any type of retelling. However, Bundy is a fascinating character even beyond what is covered in the film. His trial was a sensation—the first to be aired on television—and his antics were so bonkers that the country—young, pretty women in particular—was fascinated by him. I appreciate the approach this writer and director took with the film, focusing in on his relationship with Liz, his trials, and escapes. Interspersed with re-created news footage and home movies, there is no denying Efron’s resemblance to Bundy. For people less familiar with Bundy’s string of trials, they may find some of his antics shocking. He escapes prison twice, once by leaping from a window and once by crawling through a duct in the ceiling. He fired his lawyer and represented himself. He manipulated the system any way he could, and he maintained his innocence until the bitter end. This guy was a piece of work. As someone who is very familiar with his life before, during, and after his horrific crimes, there was nothing new here for me. However, I think Efron did a fantastic job as the ruthless con man, and the fact that they chose to not re-create his crimes on screen was very much appreciated. Glen Aside from Kendall, who eventually withdrew from Bundy, he also found a partner in Carole Anne Boone (Kaya Scodelario), who sought him out in Utah when he was on trial there and again in Florida, where he went after his second escape and where he murdered his final two victims. To escape twice is pretty remarkable, and to escape, move to a new state, and start killing again is even crazier. Unlike a lot of serial-killer
SEEMINGLY NORMAL Serial killer Ted Bundy (Zac Efron, left) is brought to authorities’ attention by his longtime girlfriend, Liz Kendall (Lily Collins, right).
films, this one takes no interest in what drives Bundy. There’s no backstory about an abusive upbringing, no attempt to understand what motivated his heinous crimes. I think that’s a problem because I want to know why anyone would do what he did. The film’s so busy showing Bundy’s kinder side that it offers no insight into the why of his murders. How was he able to have a seemingly normal relationship with Kendall? How did he climb into bed with her, charm her daughter, make her love him, and never resort to violence against her? What’s the switch he was able to turn on and off again? Maybe Berlinger, who’s best known as a serial-killer documentary filmmaker, doesn’t know, or maybe his documentary background prevents him from editorializing. For me, it’s the big missing piece of this puzzle. If you want to see a film that depicts how a serial killer charmed those around him, this might do just fine, but if you’re hoping for insight and answers, you’ll find none here. If this was in theaters, I’d probably tell you to wait for a rental. Since it’s on Netflix, let your schedule be your guide. Got a couple of hours to blow? Watch it for nothing else than Efron’s performance. It’s the best thing about this film. Anna It is 30 years after his death and yet the fascination with Bundy is still strong—Netflix also released Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes earlier this year, and Theodore: The Documentary by director Celene Beth Calderon is in post production. That film takes the focus away from Bundy himself and instead shares the stories of victims

Using archival footage, you’ll witness Cmdr. Neil Armstrong and pilots Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins on their amazing eight-day mission to the moon and back. I remember as a 7-year-old what a momentous occasion this was, and some of the footage herein was material I saw broadcast live on TV, but what’s really amazing is the restored film footage captured by NASA cameramen.

lots of bystanders camped out to watch the launch live. For ’60s fashion fans, the film is a cornucopia of mock turtlenecks under V-neck sweaters, floral frocks, and crazy hairdos. The film opens hours before countdown, and we see the astronauts being fitted in their suits, technicians working on a leaking valve, and monitors lined with men—and a couple women—keeping track of the various systems. Putting a man on the moon was a monumental undertaking, which First Man (2018), starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, did a terrific job of fictionalizing. In Apollo 11, we’re watching the real thing, and it’s just as gripping. Director Miller allows the archival footage and newscaster narration to tell the story, but when the voiceover
alludes to the psychological baggage each astronaut takes into a dangerous space mission with him, we see photos and home movies of their families and test flights that led up to penetrating space—all that came before and all that could be lost. The documentary reminds viewers that the Vietnam War was raging and the Chappaquiddick incident occurred during the mission—two things competing for news time in an era of three networks. We were in the midst of the Cold War, and there’s no overstating the sense of pride that flooded the nation. The display of elation from both the NASA workers and the throngs of onlookers, for instance a J.C. Penney parking lot full of campers watching the launch and touchdown, is astounding. It’s also fun to see some of the celebrities who attended the launch, such
and survivors, which is absolutely who should be recognized and lauded on screen. I can’t quite pinpoint the intended audience here, though Netflix is full of true crime documentaries and series, so this does seem like a logical project for their production company. This movie is based on a book written by Ted’s longtime girlfriend, Liz, and while I haven’t read that, the details of their life together were already known to me after reading The Stranger Beside Me, a detailed account of Bundy’s life in its entirety by true crime queen Anna Rule. I think one of the fascinations with this particular monster is that his motivation is so unclear. After receiving his death sentence, Judge Cowart (John Malkovich) told Bundy, “It is an utter tragedy for this court to see such a total waste of humanity, I think, as I’ve experienced in this courtroom. You’re a bright young man. You’d have made a good lawyer, and I would have loved to have you practice in front of me, but you went another way, partner.” There is no accounting for Bundy’s horrific actions, and the fact that he wouldn’t own up to them until the very end in a ploy to stay his execution shows just how wicked, evil, and vile he really was. Efron gives a great performance, and this is worth watching for that. If you want the real nitty-gritty minutiae of his life, trial, and his victims, pick up a copy of The Stranger Beside Me and prepare to be even more disgusted by this killer. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

REVIEW SCORING FULL PRICE .... It’s worth the price of an evening showing MATINEE ........ Save a few bucks, catch an afternoon showing RENT IT .......... It’s worth a rental STREAM IT ..... Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time as Johnny Carson and George C. Scott. President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger are both on the U.S.S. Hornet when the astronauts are recovered from the ocean. It was a big deal, and Apollo 11 delivers a gripping chronicle of this incredible American achievement. It’s rated G, but I should warn parents that young children may find the film boring. We had a loud 4-year-old behind us who wouldn’t be quiet and thought the best part of the film was anytime there was a countdown so he could show off his counting skills. I know you want your kids to see this, and they should, but wait for the DVD and show it to them at home when you can answer their questions without having to annoy an entire theater. This is too good to be distracted from. (93 min.) —Glen Starkey

MOVIES from page 39 Cleveland, a great gospel singer in his own right, the incredible music director Alexander Hamilton, the Southern California Community Choir, and members of her own band is mindblowing. The concerts had an improvised, organic feel to them, similar to the call and response gospel sounds of black churches all over America. The difference is Aretha’s supple, nuanced, thrilling voice. It doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not, watching this film will fill you with the spirit. The close-ups on Aretha’s perspiring face, her eyes closed in solemn prayer, a serene Buddhalike glow of the divine all around her—you know you’re witnessing a kind of magic, a kind of mass hysteria, a kind of miracle. It’s also fun when the camera catches The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger in the back of the room on the second night. Obviously word got out after the first night, and Jagger had to see for himself. Everyone in that room hung on every note. I watched the film the day before Easter, and it’s all the church I need.

Downtown Centre, Fair Oaks, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: Civil War) co-direct this follow-up to their 2018 film Avengers: Infinity War, which resulted in Thanos turning half the universe’s population into dust. The remaining Avengers reassemble and work to undo Thanos’ destructive act and restore the universe. It’s the eleventh film in the connected Marvel Universe series. This direct sequel to the events of Infinity War opens with Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), aka Hawkeye, enjoying a picnic with his family on their rural property. He helps his daughter with her archery skills, and as he turns back from responding to his wife’s call of lunchtime, the girl is gone … vanished. When he turns back to his wife and sons, they too have disappeared. It’s an emotionally resonant reminder of the stunning loss the survivors of Thanos’ act experienced. This scene is followed by other scenes introducing the various main characters and reminding viewers of their loss. This turns out to be both the film’s strength and weakness. It’s got a surprising emotion heft for a superhero flick but it’s also overlong and repetitive as we explore in detail the dozens of characters, their relationships and connections, their losses and reaction to those losses, and their eventual reunification and renewed fight to reverse what Thanos wrought. As I wrote in my review of Infinity War, Thanos’ act felt like a stunt. Too many of the characters who disappeared had already scheduled films and sequels coming up. It didn’t feel final, and of course it wasn’t because … wait for it … time travel! If that’s a spoiler to you, you’re obviously not a fan of the Marvel Universe because those who are know that Thanos’ destructive act cannot stand. Lucky for everybody, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), aka Iron Man, is wicked smart and figures out how to go back in time. The film unfolds as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), aka Captain America; Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), aka The Hulk; Thor (Chris Hemsworth); Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), aka Black Widow; Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper); and Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), aka Ant Man, all team up to get the Infinity Stones before Thanos has time to wipe out half the universe with them. Even though I think the filmmakers could have cut 30 minutes and had a better film, this is still kickass! Historically, the comic book realm has always been a boys’ world. In the past, even the female superheroes seemed more designed to appeal to boys rather than girls—have you noticed, for instance, that most female superheroes dress like a PG-13-rated pole dancer or dominatrix? However, both Marvel and DC seem to be trying to evolve, not just on gender issues but other social issues. For instance, when Steve Rogers attends a survivors group therapy session, one of the male members casually mentions his gay relationship and nothing’s made of it. It’s accepted as normal. During the pitched final battle, it’s a group of female superheroes who convene to take a stand while their male co-parts wage individual battles. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), aka Captain Marvel, is the desperately needed tiebreaker in the final fight to the death. These moments are signs that the times they are a-changin’, and it’s a welcome change. That said, don’t leave reading this review with the idea that everything’s going to turn out perfectly for our heroes. The film has the good sense to make at least some of its stakes real, so prepare yourself for some losses. Also keep in mind, prequels are a thing, so I have no

Now, long after his days performing at 30 Rock, Hader is gaining a different kind of notoriety for his new show: Barry. In Barry, which Hader co-created, writes, directs, and stars in, Hader plays—you guessed it—Barry, a depressed war veteran turned hitman who, despite a knack for efficient killing, is grappling with the meaninglessness of his life and all the pain he’s caused. When he’s sent by a mobster to kill an actor wannabe in Los Angeles, Barry follows the mark to an acting class, where he finds himself intoxicated by the thrilling and often emotional structure of the class, and its group of hopeful and cheery students. Barry instantly falls for an especially devoted student, Sally (Sarah Goldberg), and the feeling of finally fitting in somewhere, so he trades in his gun for a script. But as we all know (thanks to mandatory elementary school theater productions), acting isn’t all that easy, and (thanks to Hollywood’s obsession with violence) we also know you

464 MORRO BAY BLVD. 772-2444 MORROBAYMOVIE.COM can’t just suddenly leave a life of crime behind. Naturally, Barry faces a number of obstacles both on the stage and in burying his secret life. Moments between Hader and other cast members—Henry Winkler (Happy Days, Heroes) plays Barry’s money grubbing but passionate acting coach, and Stephen Root (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Office Space) is wonderful as Barry’s best friend and partner in crime, literally—make for bellyjiggling comedy. Yet the show isn’t at all what you’d expect, in terms of its actors’ performances, plot, or character development. Every episode brings something completely fresh to the table, and the show, which is in the midst of airing its second season, only gets more difficult to pin down with each passing week. Hader is especially unpredictable in Barry, almost entirely setting aside his typical ridiculousness, leaving space to showcase his character’s inner turmoil. And unlike his character, Hader has talent. There’s a reason this show’s first season was critically acclaimed, why it racked up wins at the 2018 Emmy Awards, and has a 99 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes: It’s fantastic. Δ —Kasey Bubnash

ADORABLE DETECTIVE Detective Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) searches for his old Pokémon partner after he goes missing, in Pokémon Detective Pikachu. MOVIES from page 41 but lonely presidential hopeful, Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron). Full of good laughs throughout, with fun chemistry between our unlikely pairing of Rogen and Theron, Long Shot is definitely worth a watch but doesn’t rise to any levels of elite comedy or filmmaking. Flarsky has just quit his job as a muckraker for a Brooklyn news outfit out of moral principle, after a media conglomerate buys it out. In his better-off buddy Lance’s (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) attempt to cheer him up at a schmoozy concert, Fred runs into Charlotte, who’s the U.S. secretary of state, a 2020 presidential hopeful, and, of course, Fred’s babysitter when he was little. Charlotte, both elegant and “presidential” but at heart laid back and unpretentious, recognizes Fred and the two meet. As Charlotte plans her run for president, she decides, against everyone’s better advice, to hire the brash and unemployed Fred as a speechwriter. A romantic rollercoaster ride ensues as Secretary Field takes off with Fred and the team on an international tour to gain support for her ambitious global climate legislation.
Levin tries to walk a fine line of mixing silly comedy with political story and so often veers into the land of the absurd. At one point, Theron is literally high on ecstasy while she tries to resolve a sudden international hostage crisis. To Long Shot’s credit, Rogen and Theron convince us with good writing and chemistry that they’re right for each other, to the dismay of her key campaign staffer, Maggie (a funny June Diane Raphael), who tries (and usually fails) to keep Charlotte focused on her presidential bid. Can Charlotte and Fred make it against all odds? That’s the tension throughout the film and what keeps us in our seats. What nearly got me out of mine was Theron’s character, whose political ambitions I found pretty unconvincing. Still, if you just go for the laughs and to see how the hell Rogen could pair with Theron, Long Shot will thoroughly entertain. Underlying the action are timely themes of sexism, media degradation, and whether authenticity can win in politics. (125 min.) —Peter Johnson
THE MUSTANG What’s it rated? R
What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm Co-writer/director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre helms this drama about violent convict Roman Coleman (Matthias Schoenaerts), who’s given a shot at rehabilitation via a therapy program involving wild mustangs. Twelve years ago, Roman left his domestic partner brain damaged in an attack. He’s well aware of his shortcomings and doesn’t believe he’s fit for reintegration into society, but that changes when he’s placed in a rehabilitation program run by Myles (Bruce Dern), a rancher who assigns prisoners a specific wild mustang to train. Predictably, things don’t go well initially, but soon, another inmate with a way with horses, Henry (Jason Mitchell ), helps Roman, who learns as much from his horse as the horse learns from him. There are some unexpected twists in turns in this well-worn redemption genre, and terrific performances by Schoenaerts and Dern breathe fresh life into it. It also features an ending you won’t see coming and won’t soon forget. (96 min.) —Glen

New and improved Reservoir Canyon gets an upgrade
I
FLOWING A wooden bridge crosses Reservoir Creek just above the waterfall, and the water was moving fast and loose on a recent Sunday morning.
’m having a hard time recognizing where I am as I pull down to the end of Reservoir Canyon Road, a spot I’ve been dozens of times over the last six years. The rutted-out parking area I’m used to, with cars parked every which way, has been replaced by a very official-looking fenced parking lot of graded gravel. The trail I’m used to heading up is closed. Instead we are rerouted by a sign telling us we are about to enter the Creek Bypass Trail. Up ahead, a wooden footbridge with railings crosses over Reservoir Creek just before the water cascades down San Luis Obispo’s famous 30-foot waterfall. And the water is moving and grooving. It’s early on Sunday morning, and early is the best time (in my not-so-humble opinion) to hike any of San Luis Obispo’s open space trails, which usually get inundated with the beautiful people who reside in the happiest place on earth just before noon on most weekends. A young Parks and Recreation employee is weed whacking up ahead, and as we pass him, it’s easy to see why. Poison oak is abundant and shiny with new leaves, which my dog, of course,

Saturdays in spring mean rolling up our sleeves as volunteers at Firstfruits Farm in SLO
I
t’s just about noon, and my back is telling me I need to go home now. My family and I have been kneeling, squatting, and bending alongside 100plus volunteers for the past three hours. The morning’s task was simple: Put more than 8,000 seedlings in the ground. I stand gingerly now—my farming muscles are way out of shape—and look over the nearly 2 acres of Firstfruits Farm in SLO. It looks like we’ve done it! All of us volunteers not only put these baby fruits and veggies in the ground, we’d added compost to each one and rolled cloth over multiple rows of lettuce. These seedlings will grow to be harvested and donated to roughly 800 families a week through local organizations, including the Food Bank Coalition of SLO County and God’s Storehouse. Today’s volunteers came out in numbers higher than organizers hoped for, and every hand was put to good use. As the season progresses, these crews will be joined by volunteers from GleanSLO, a nonprofit that specializes in harvesting and sharing food from farms and backyards across the county. Firstfruits Farm was founded to fill a need. According Darin Laity, one of Firstfruits’ lead farmers, volunteers working at places like God’s Storehouse saw that much of the contributed produce was less than fresh. So in 2013, with donated land, tools, seeds, and everything else it takes to run a farm, a handful of volunteers rolled up their sleeves and planted food on the conviction that their impoverished neighbors deserve the best, the first fruits of the land. Here we are, six years later, and the history of the farm is in the back of my mind as I survey the tiny shoots of lettuce, melons, tomatoes, kale, and so much more that we just planted. My girls were toddlers when we started volunteering at the farm’s first site, on Serpa Ranch Road in SLO. They played with other

At the farm’s current location on Alpha Academy’s Buckley Road property, my girls—now in fourth and PHOTO COURTESY OF BRET ROOKS sixth grade—are actively helpful. As of 11:30 this morning, we’d been among a small crew of volunteers of all ages planting red-leaf lettuce for the past half hour. The beautiful purple leaves were attached to an inverted pyramid of dirt and roots that needed to go about a finger’s depth into the clay soil. Even though I’d already busted through two pairs of non-latex gloves, my fingers were the best tools for this job.

even screwdrivers to dig in the soil, but I’ll keep using my gloved hands. Before joining the red-leaf lettuce crew, I’d been helping several people unroll long sheets of garden fabric over the romaine and green-leaf seedlings to protect them from the elements and bugs. After laying the fabric over the plants, we drove u-shaped wire staples through the cloth and into the ground. Earlier in the morning, I’d been planting melons in nearby rows. I smiled as I heard my youngest pretending to be a spy with one of her friends. Apparently these were no ordinary lettuces; this was a crop of top-secret medicine guarded by my super-spy daughter. At around 10:30, I’d looked at my watch and thought, “These melons are going to be a delicious treat on a hot day.” Immediately afterward I thought, “I’m glad it’s not hot today!” This drizzly April morning meant ideal planting conditions for the seedlings—and the volunteers.
We’d started planting romaine around 9:30, after breaking into teams—some of us took the heavy trays of seedlings and set each tiny plant 8 inches apart on alternating sides of the irrigation tape. As I laid the little lettuces along the row, other volunteers dug small holes, placed the seedlings inside, and carefully pressed the soil around the tiny stalks. On the other side of the field, Darin was teaching first-timers what to do; my family and I had helped with planting for the past several years, so we led a small crew of returning volunteers over to the lettuce rows and got started. We’d showed up to the farm, a little after 9 a.m. today, April 27, hoping that we’d be among the 50 volunteers needed. We usually get about half that number, so it was exciting to see people young and old continue walking through the gate while Darin talked to everyone about FLAVOR continued page 46

Flavor FLAVOR from page 44
Firstfruits’ mission: “to grow fresh, high quality produce and give it away freely to people in the community.” Through God’s Storehouse, the food bank, and other partners, the volunteerrun farm distributed more than 18,000 pounds of fresh produce last year. And if all goes as well as expected, Firstfruits is poised to harvest and donate even more this year, according to Darin. At about 8:45, as we’d been rushing to finish breakfast and get out the door, my older daughter said to me, “This is why I don’t like the farm: plants, bugs, dirt.” She had a point—we deal with all of those out there. So I asked her what she does like: “That I get to help people,” she said, explaining that she enjoys going wherever she can be helpful at the farm. Last year, she and her sister loved to fill the farm’s wagon with snacks and pull it around the fields, distributing water and granola bars to her fellow volunteers. She added that she likes to help the people who are helping other people, our fellow community members who can’t afford to buy the fruits and veggies we take for granted. Jon Medlock, the pastor of our church, Trinity Presbyterian—which runs the farm alongside Grace Central Coast— puts it this way: Firstfruits Farm is more than a ministry of mercy and care. The idea of the farm is food as justice. ∆

I don’t normally eat at Sidecar Cocktail Co. If I go, it’s usually during happy hour and I’m only there for a cocktail. But on a recent Saturday, my friend and I were hungry, so we stopped in to check out the menu. I realize that this might be old news to some, but it’s new to me, so I’m going to tell you about it anyway! The Brussels sprouts ($10) might be the best thing on the menu. Flash fried and crispy sprouts served with a balsamic reduction, blue cheese, thyme, and garlic aioli made my stomach very happy. Something about the soft stinky smoosh of blue cheese smeared onto the side of a crunchy green thing with a touch of balsamic covering it just put a smile on my face. Follow that with the satisfaction of using a forkstabbed sprout to clean up the balsamic and creamy aioli. Really, there’s nothing better. Well, OK, except for a delicious and nutritious cocktail. This time I went for the Bikini Girls with Machine Guns, Rittenhouse Rye, Aperol, sesame orgeat syrup, passionfruit, lemon, and Lefty Bitters Mayan Chocolate Bitters served with a nicely dried round of citrus and a healthy sprig of mint (there’s that nutrition!).

WHAT A request by Christie Ware for a Minor Use Permit/Coastal Development Permit (DRC2018-00233) to allow for the construction of a 600-square-foot guest house within 50 feet of the primary residence.

The proposed project is in the Residential Single-Family land use category and is located at 2128 Andover Place. The guesthouse will face Blythe Place. The project is within the community of Cambria within the North Coast Planning Area. Also to be considered is the environmental determination that the project is categorically exempt under CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(2).

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Nietzsche said, “One must have chaos within oneself if one is to be a dancing star.” Are you a dancing star? Comment at freewillastrology.com.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Time to shake things up! In the next three weeks, I invite you to try at least three of the following experiments. 1. See unusual sights in familiar situations. 2. Seek out new music that both calms you and excites you. 3. Get an inspiring statue or image of a favorite deity or hero. 4. Ask for a message from the person you will be three years from now. 5. Use your hands and tongue in ways you don’t usually use them. 6. Go in quest of a cathartic release that purges frustration and rouses holy passion. 7. Locate the sweet spot where deep feeling and deep thinking overlap.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to science writer Sarah Zielinski in Smithsonian magazine, fireflies produce the most efficient light on planet Earth. Nearly 100 percent of the energy produced by the chemical reaction inside the insect’s body is emitted as a brilliant glow. With that in mind, I propose that you regard the firefly as your spirit creature in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you, too, will be a dynamic and proficient generator of luminosity. For best results, don’t tone down your brilliance, even if it illuminates shadows people are trying to hide.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s a message from author Susan J. Elliott: “This is not your week to run the universe. Next week is not looking so good either.” Now here’s a message from me: Elliott’s revelation is very good news! Since you won’t have to worry about trying to manage and fine-tune the universe, you can focus all your efforts on your own self-care. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time to do just that. You’re due to dramatically upgrade your understanding of what you need to feel healthy and happy, and then take the appropriate measures to put your new insights into action.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): The next three weeks will be an excellent time to serve as your own visionary prophet and dynamic fortune-teller. The predictions and conjectures you make about your future destiny will have an 85 percent likelihood of being accurate. They will also be relatively free of fear and worries. So I urge you to give your imagination permission to engage in fun fantasies about what’s ahead for you. Be daringly optimistic and exuberantly hopeful and brazenly self-celebratory.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo poet Stanley Kunitz told his students, “You must be very careful not to deprive the poem of its wild origin.” That’s useful advice for anyone who spawns anything, not just poets. There’s something unruly and unpredictable about every creative idea or fresh perspective that rises up in us. Do you remember when you first felt the urge to look for a new job or move to a new city or search for a new kind of relationship? Wildness was there at the inception. And you needed to stay in touch with the wildness so as to follow through with practical action. That’s what I encourage you to do now. Reconnect with the wild origins of the important changes you’re nurturing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I have no complaints about the measures you’ve taken recently to push past unnecessary limits and to break outworn taboos. In fact, I celebrate them. Keep going! You’ll be better off without those decaying constraints. Soon you’ll begin using all the energy you have liberated and the spaciousness you have made available. But I do have one concern: I wonder if part of you is worried that you have been too bold and have gone too far. To that part of you I say: No! You haven’t been too bold. You haven’t gone too far.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dreamt of a past that frees its prisoners.” So wrote Meena Alexander in her poem “Question Time.” I’d love for you to have that experience in the coming weeks. I’d love for you be released from the karma of your history

so that you no longer have to repeat old patterns or feel weighed down by what happened to you once upon a time. I’d love for you to no longer have to answer to decayed traditions and outmoded commitments and lost causes. I’d love for you to escape the pull of memories that tend to drag you back toward things that can’t be changed and don’t matter anymore.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Desire is a profoundly upsetting force,” writes author Elspeth Probyn. “It may totally rearrange what we think we want. Desire skews plans and sets forth unthought-of possibilities.” In my opinion, Probyn’s statements are half-true. The other half of the truth is that desire can also be a profoundly healing and rejuvenating force, and for the same reasons: It rearranges what we think we want, alters plans, and unleashes unthought-of possibilities. How does all this relate to you? From what I can tell, you are now on the cusp of desire’s two overlapping powers. What happens next could be upsetting or healing, disorienting or rejuvenating. If you’d like to emphasize the healing and rejuvenating, I suggest you treat desire as a sacred gift and a blessing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “So much of what we learn about love is taught by people who never really loved us.” My Sagittarian friend Ellen made that sad observation. Is it true for you? Ellen added the following thoughts: So much of what we learn about love is taught by people who were too narcissistic or wounded to be able to love very well; and by people who didn’t have many listening skills and therefore didn’t know enough about us to love us for who we really are; and by people who love themselves poorly and so of course find it hard to love anyone else. Is any of this applicable to what you have experienced, Sagittarius? If so, here’s an antidote that I think you’ll find effective during the next seven weeks: Identify the people who have loved you well and the people who might love you well in the future— and then vow to learn all you can from them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn fantasy novelist Laini Taylor creates imaginary worlds where heroines use magic and wiles to follow their bliss while wrangling with gods and rascals. In describing her writing process, she says, “Like a magpie, I am a scavenger of shiny things: fairy tales, dead languages, weird folk beliefs, and fascinating religions.” She adds, “I have plundered tidbits of history and lore to build something new, using only the parts that light my mind on fire.” I encourage you to adopt her strategies for your own use in the coming weeks. Be alert for gleaming goodies and tricky delicacies and alluring treats. Use them to create new experiences that thrill your imagination. I believe the coming weeks will be an excellent time to use your magic and wiles to follow your bliss while wrangling with gods and rascals.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I was always asking for the specific thing that wasn’t mine,” wrote poet Joanne Kyger. “I wanted a haven that wasn’t my own.” If there is any part of you that resonates with that defeatist perspective, Aquarius, now is an excellent time to begin outgrowing or transforming it. I guarantee you that you’ll have the potency you need to retrain yourself: so that you will more and more ask for specific things that can potentially be yours; so that you will more and more want a haven that can be your own.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’m not a fan of nagging. I don’t like to be nagged and I scrupulously avoid nagging others. And yet now I will break my own rules so as to provide you with your most accurate and helpful horoscope. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you aren’t likely to get what you truly need and deserve in the coming days unless you engage in some polite, diplomatic nagging. So see what you can do to employ nagging as a graceful, even charming art. For best results, infuse it with humor and playfulness. ∆
