Lyft sued for not keeping passengers safe

T

hree individual Jane Does, one of whom is a San Luis Obispo local, who allege that they were sexually assaulted by their Lyft drivers, claim that Lyft Inc. misrepresented the safety of its rides to the women and the general public.

A complaint filed on July 24 against Lyft Inc. (a Delaware Corporation with its principal place of business in San Francisco) and Lompoc resident Jason Fenwick alleges that the company falsely claimed that its rides were safe, its drivers properly screened, and that its screening process was superior to others utilized by competing ride-hailing companies. Fenwick was arrested and remains incarcerated in SLO County Jail on $500,000 bail for sexual assault and battery charges pending a felony trial.

According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe 1 in San Luis Obispo, Jane Doe 2 in Los Angeles, and Jane Doe 3 in San Diego, were each sexually assaulted by their respective Lyft drivers on their way home.

On the evening of Nov. 4, 2018, Jane Doe 1 was drunk when she entered the Lyft vehicle and had blacked out by the time she arrived at her home, the lawsuit states, which her driver Fenwick escorted her into.

The lawsuit states that Fenwick placed the unconscious Doe in her bed and then proceeded to wander around her home checking for other occupants and closing curtains so as not to be seen, oblivious to the home surveillance video system recording his every action.

Fenwick preceded over the next 30 minutes to fondle, paw, kiss, molest, and disrobe the unconscious Jane Doe, according to the lawsuit, eventually removing her underwear in order

to orally perform sex acts upon her and to penetrate her intimate orifices, the lawsuit states.

Fenwick took several breaks during the encounter, the lawsuit states, to survey the interior of the house once again for others present, and took several cellphone pictures of himself with the unconscious Doe. When the assault ended, according to the lawsuit, Fenwick left Doe naked in UNSAFE RIDES Three women who were sexually assaulted by their her bed, picked up Doe’s Lyft drivers are suing the company for unsafe rides and not properly cellphone so that he could checking the history of its drivers. issue a $20 tip to himself for the Lyft ride and then general public and that Uber charges customers departed Doe’s home for his next pickup. standardized fees for car rides; and b.

Tribune plans to stop printing Saturday edition

broke the news that the local daily is planning to stop publishing its Saturday print edition as part of a “new weekend package” the newspaper is launching on Nov. 2.

That package will include new puzzles and a themed section in the Friday print edition, a Saturday eEdition with supplemental sections, and more puzzles and comics in the Sunday print edition.

“While we will no longer produce a printed newspaper on Saturday, we will continue to publish the strong independent local journalism you expect from The Tribune online seven days a week,” Ritchey said.

He added that subscription rates would remain the same. New Times reached out to Ritchey for comment and heard back from Jeanne Segal, the director of public relations and communications for McClatchy, The Trib’s parent company.

Segal said via email that the news industry has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last 10 years, and McClatchy is leaning into it by delivering news on a variety of platforms, including websites, mobile applications, social media sites, podcasts, and eEditions.

“Our newsroom in San Luis Obispo is digital first and it is the same with our other 29 newsrooms across the country,” Segal said.

She said that although McClatchy hasn’t cut the Saturday print editions at any of its other California publications, it has launched digital Saturdays in other communities.

Man who threatened to shoot minorities pleads not guilty

Richard Orcutt, 62, pleaded not guilty on July 29 to allegedly sending threatening letters to property managers and homeowners in the area stating his intent to shoot minorities.

According to the San Luis Obispo Police Department, the San Luis Obispo Regional SWAT Team and the SLO County Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail served a search warrant at Orcutt’s home on June 30.

At the time, detectives believed he had recently sent several threatening letters to property managers and any future tenants in the area that stated he was going to shoot minorities moving into his neighborhood. The alleged letters depicted the American flag with no return name or address.

VIEWER DISCRETION

NEWS from page 4

Orcutt’s attorney, Guy Galambos, emailed a statement to New Times saying the messages sent to victims were clearly “racist and un-American” but that his client “did not write or send the threatening cards in this case.”

“The strong public reaction to the initial news reports and SLOPD statements show how upsetting these threats were.

Unfortunately, when the public is upset by a serious crime, they often assume the person arrested or charged is guilty,” the statement from Galambos said. “This is a circumstantial evidence case; there is no direct evidence of Mr. Orcutt’s guilt.

Despite serving three search warrants on him and his property, despite having the Federal Bureau of Investigation and [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives] assist the investigation, and despite setting bail at $500,000, there is no proof of his guilt.”

Galambos said there are no eyewitnesses, no surveillance videos, and no scientific evidence showing that Orcutt wrote or sent the threatening, racist cards.

During the search of Orcutt’s home on June 30, detectives said they found and seized 37 handguns, rifles, and shotguns, and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

SLO PD Lt. John Bledsoe told New Times that he can’t disclose any more information about the case, as it is currently pending trial, other than saying that the investigation led the department to determine that Orcutt was tied to the alleged letters.

Orcutt was taken into custody without incident on June 30 and later booked into the SLO County Jail. Orcutt posted a $500,000 bail and was released from custody later that day.

The SLO County District Attorney’s Office filed a criminal complaint on July 12 accusing Orcutt of 10 felonies—seven charges of making criminal threats, one charge of attempting to make a criminal threat, and two charges of possessing an assault weapon.

The complaint alleges that Orcutt willfully and unlawfully threatened to commit a crime on May 30 that would have resulted in death or great bodily injury to at least eight current or future residents. District Attorney officials stated that if Orcutt is convicted of all the charges, he faces a maximum sentence of 14 years and eight months in state prison.

Galambos said that Orcutt spent 31 years working for the San Luis Obispo Fire Department and dedicated his life to

protecting people.

“He spent his career saving people’s lives and property. Richard’s close friends and family know that he is not a racist and not dangerous,” Galambos’ statement said.

Lawsuit threatens Arroyo Grande Oil Field aquifer exemption

The Center for Biological Diversity is threatening to sue the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over its decision earlier this year to exempt portions of the Arroyo Grande Oil Field from the Safe Drinking Water Act. Maya Golden-Krasner, the center’s climate deputy director and senior attorney, said that the federal agency didn’t complete its due diligence before issuing a decision in April, violating both the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Protection Act. “This is a federal agency that’s approving it, and they’re supposed to consider the foreseeable direct and indirect consequences of their decisionmaking,” Golden-Krasner said. “The law requires agencies to consider those consequences.”

Although the decision didn’t pertain to specific projects that would disturb endangered species habitat, it could potentially lead to expanding drilling on the the oil-producing site that overlies the field on both sides of Price Canyon Road near Pismo Beach.

Sentinel Peak Resources, the site’s operator, put a project on hold while it awaited the decision. In a previous interview, Sentinel Peak spokesperson Christine Halley indicated that the oil company was considering whether to pursue drilling the 31 oil wells left on a 95well project already approved by the county.

Freeport-McMoRan applied for an aquifer exemption in the field during 2014 after the California Department of Conservation discovered there were permitted injection/re-injection wells being drilled into parts of the aquifer that were considered to hold safe drinking water.

In the EPA’s April decision, it stated that the application, which had since been taken over by Sentinel Peak Resources, demonstrated that the oil field didn’t currently serve as a source of drinking water and wouldn’t in the future.

New Times reached out to Sentinel Peak Resources for comment and was

referred to the California Independent Petroleum Association.

“After a rigorous review process that included four state agencies and the federal EPA, months of scientific study, and numerous public meetings, regulators agree that the oilbearing formation has no impact to the region’s drinking water,” association CEO Rock Zierman said in an emailed statement. “[Center for Biological Diversity] has already had a previous lawsuit on this issue dismissed by the courts, and they’re filing another frivolous lawsuit that seeks to threaten the state’s energy security.”

The center filed a lawsuit in 2016 that was designed to slow the approval process on the aquifer exemption and force the state Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources and the state Water Resources Control Board to conduct more environmental reviews of the aquifer.

In the 60-day notice of intent to sue sent to EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler on July 25, 2019, the center stated that a federally listed endangered species of particular concern is a flower called the Pismo clarkia, which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers to be a priority to recover. Golden-Krasner said the flower has fragmented habitats in a tiny area that overlaps with the field.

Even without construction of new oil wells, Golden-Krasner said, it could mean that Sentinel Peak reworks the wastewater injection wells that are currently on its site, expanding their capacity, which could disturb the land above the aquifer.

“It’s a foreseeable result,” she said. “They didn’t do any environmental review.”

Although the EPA has granted other aquifer exemptions in the state of California, Golden-Krasner said the center hasn’t filed or threatened to file a lawsuit in any of those cases. The Arroyo Grande Oil Field was of particular concern, she said, because of the people who depend on groundwater supplies adjacent to the field and the potential for expansion of oil production.

“We probably could have filed similar cases for the other ones, but because this one has specific concerns, we want to support the community that lives around the oil field,” Golden-Krasner said.

“Winning this case would set a precedent for all of the others.”

Templeton can vote to fund their fire services The SLO County Clerk’s Office officially mailed out ballots for the special election on Measure A-19, where Templeton residents will vote to decide whether to fund the Templeton Fire Department 24/7.

Templeton Community Services District General Manager Jeff Briltz said the district heard from several residents who said they had already received the ballot in the mail.

“It’s been a long road to get here, really like 15 years, but it’s been a lot more intense in the last year or several years,” Briltz said.

On May 21, the district voted to approve the call for a special election on a parcel tax to fund the fire and emergency services department.

The proposed parcel tax of $180 per year per parcel—adjusted annually for inflation and capped at 2 percent—would generate $486,000 each year for the department. The funds would improve emergency response times, maintain local fire protection, recruit and retain professional firefighters, and provide 24/7 staffing instead of the current nine hours per day.

Save Templeton Fire Yes on A formed to raise awareness about the measure, with Templeton Chamber of Commerce CEO Jessica Main spearheading the effort.

“On the business side, it’s important for our business to support [measure A-19] because emergencies don’t just happen at home, people can have an accident in your office,” Main said. “On a personal note, I have kids and they’re in school, and I want to make sure they’re being taken care of when they’re in school and at home at night.” Δ —Karen Garcia

Long-term solutions Paso Robles emergency response agencies team up to create a plan to stop fires in the Salinas Riverbed

T

he Salinas Riverbed in Paso Robles is experiencing fires that are larger and more prevalent than the local fire department has seen in recent years.

Paso Robles Fire Chief Jonathan Stornetta said there are two reasons the fires in the riverbed are getting bigger: There is a larger homeless population living in the area; and the vegetation in the riverbed is so dense that a fire usually starts there and spreads, making it harder for the emergency agency to control.

July 22 marked the 70th fire that sparked in the Salinas Riverbed in Paso Robles this year—it was the 185th fire since 2018. A week before the recent fire, the city of Paso Robles declared a local public health and safety emergency in the riverbed and the area that surrounds it.

“What prompted us to declare a local emergency on [July 16] was the fact that the fires are getting larger and are threatening the communities surrounding it,” Stornetta said.

The declaration allows the police and fire and emergency services departments to work together to reduce the potential hazards of the riverbed and create a plan for the future.

There were two notable fires this year that pushed Stornetta to say enough is enough. On June 10, a fire that started in the riverbed jumped to Niblick Bridge, effectively shutting the bridge down and damaging lampposts. The major concern was potential damage to the

infrastructure of the bridge, as heat can cause the concrete foundation to crack.

On June 29, a fire started 150 feet away from a housing development.

Stornetta said that if the fire had spread to the residential area, all of his resources—including personnel from the Paso fire department, Camp Roberts, San Miguel, Atascadero, Templeton, and Cal Fire—were in the riverbed, so response times would have been longer.

“So we’re having significant impacts on the other departments throughout North County and impacting their ability to provide services,” he said.

The local fire and police departments created a two-phased plan to mitigate the potential dangers of the Salinas Riverbed, the first of which is hazardous fuel reduction.

Under the declared emergency, the fire department is able to make shaded fuel breaks—mowing down dead and dying weeds and cutting limbs from trees up to 8 feet. But the department can’t move forward until it hires a biologist to study the potential impacts to the current habitat within the riverbed. The department already has a maintenance permit that runs from August through September, and the emergency declaration allows the department to start immediately and expand on the mitigation work that’s already done.

“We just completed our meeting with Fish and Wildlife, the biologist, and presented our scope of the project. So we’re moving SCREENSHOT COURTESY OF THE CITY OF PASO ROBLES forward with it and we hope to have the biological surveys completed by the first week of August,” Stornetta said, “and we’re hoping to start the mitigation work Aug. 7.”

Once the department has used the emergency permit for this effort, it can’t use it again.

“What we’ll do is actually create our own permit on the fire side through Fish and Wildlife and all the other government agencies, and we will have a regular maintenance program,” he said.

As part of this first phase, Paso Police Department Comdr. Caleb RESIDENT SAFTEY Local fire and police departments are Davis said some working to mitigate hazards inside the Salinas Riverbed and to help police officers will its inhabitants to find other places to live.

also be working in the area.

“We will basically go out ahead of the crews as they’re working to make sure there’s not any homeless camps that are in the area,” Davis said.

If they find any camps, he said, the individuals will be moved to another location in the riverbed so they aren’t in the way of the fire department’s work.

The second phase of the mitigation plan is enacting a community action team, made up of one sergeant and two police officers. The team will start, sometime between September and October, to go in and see who is living in the riverbed.

“It’s really about identifying people who want to have help, who want services— whatever those services are—and we’re going to direct them in those areas so they can hopefully get the help they need and get out of the situation they’re in,” Davis said.

The team’s goal isn’t to necessarily drive the homeless individuals out of the riverbed but to curb some of their behaviors.

“We obviously know from our experiences that there’s a lot of drug use going on in the riverbed, which is illegal, and we’re certainly going to try and be proactive with that,” he said.

Littering, starting a fire, and defecating in the riverbed are also illegal.

“Being in the riverbed is not illegal so that’s not what we’re trying to get at, but we’re certainly going to do our best to clean up the riverbed and make people that are there act in a way that’s appropriate,” Davis said.

While helping the homeless population within the riverbed is a long-term goal, Davis said he doesn’t know that the community action team will necessarily keep the homeless out of the area entirely.

“Our hope is that people will choose to not do those things anymore and change their lifestyle, which would in turn give them opportunities that they haven’t had before,” he said. “But if they continue to want to live in that environment, then they’re not going to be able to get to do those things which are illegal.”

The community action team is still in the early stages of figuring of what works and what doesn’t in terms of getting the current encampments out. The issue, Davis said, isn’t unique to Paso Robles.

Lompoc officials spent nearly $500,000 to clear out the Santa Ynez Riverbed in late 2018. A triage center assisted 69 of the riverbed’s estimated 110 homeless residents, and workers removed more than 900,000 pounds of trash. The effort took multiple partnerships with community organizations and Santa Barbara County.

In Orange County, officials worked to clear out the Santa Ana River. The five-week clear out led to a lawsuit that, according to an article in the OC Register on March 8, 2018, aimed to strike “a balance between compassionate treatment” of homeless individuals and “the county’s ability to address public health and safety concerns.” ∆

No simple answers As Paso Robles finalizes a sustainability plan for groundwater, the policies and politics of the past remain close to the surface

BY PETER JOHNSON

O

n a blistering hot July day in San Miguel, Robert Galbraith, 68, bends down and scoops up two handfuls of dry soil. He spreads his fingers and lets the dirt fall back to his fallowed ground.

The motion is symbolic of how Galbraith feels his family farm is slipping away from him.

A San Luis Obispo County policy regulating pumping from the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin has hamstrung how Galbraith can farm his land. For decades, the family grew corn silage, Sudan grass, alfalfa, and grains on their few hundred acres. Now, Galbraith has essentially lost the right to farm, though he can see many a green vineyard down the road.

“It’s infuriating,” Galbraith tells New Times while standing inside his and his wife Robin Chapman’s farmhouse. “It was always about half of alfalfa, which is a six- to seven-month crop, and the rest would be a three- to four-month crop. But we always irrigated, always.”

In 2013, Galbraith temporarily stopped farming alfalfa to attend to family obligations. The same year, as the drought and ongoing pumping in North County dried wells over the 684-square-mile aquifer, SLO County supervisors passed a moratorium on all new irrigation, which remains in effect today.

Under the policy, a property’s future pumping rights are tied to its previous five years of irrigation history. When Galbraith decided he wanted to start farming alfalfa again this past year, he was told that because of the lapse in irrigating, he’d lost his groundwater rights.

“If even one more year had been

included in the look-back period, we would’ve had alfalfa,” Chapman says.

While other farmers in the basin buy “water credits” from other properties to solve a predicament like this, Galbraith can’t. His land is over an “area of severe decline” in the basin, known as the red zone, where credits can’t be bought or sold. That’s hard for Galbraith and Champman to believe, though, because they are positioned at the confluence of the Salinas and Estrella rivers, where water sits just 22 feet below ground. Galbraith and Chapman are convinced that their inclusion in the red zone was a mistake.

But until the county agrees, they’re stuck. Their fields are fallowed. Their irrigation pipes are stacked in a heap on the edge of their property.

“It’s a huge worry, and it’s just not fair,” Chapman says. “The vineyards— that in my opinion are a huge cause of this because of the tremendous amount of water they’re drawing from tens of thousands of acres that were previously never irrigated—they’re allowing them to do business as usual. And they’re telling us, who have almost 60 years of irrigation history that we can prove, ‘tough.’ “... It’s the complete despoliation of a legacy,” she continued. “Robert’s grandparents, his parents, and most of his life are going to be thrown away because this land no longer has value. Our retirement and our entire futures are in question.”

Out of balance

The Galbraiths aren’t the only local farmers caught in the crosshairs of the Paso pumping moratorium. Their plight is a window into the imperfections of a policy

passed hastily to try to halt the precipitous overdraft of the basin—the only source of water for 29 percent of SLO County residents and 40 percent of its agricultural industry, according to the state.

The future of that policy and of the entire basin is now in the hands of a committee charged under state law with bringing the aquifer into long-term sustainability. By Jan. 31, 2020, the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee—with its representatives from SLO County, the city of Paso Robles, the San Miguel Community Services District (CSD), and the Shandon-San Juan Water District— must adopt a plan that balances the basin by 2040.

With a final draft set for public release

on Aug. 14, the question over the next few months will be how to get there and at what pace. Basin overliers like the Galbraiths hope the big vineyard pumpers are forced to curb their use.

Since 1990, the wine industry has exploded in SLO County. Between 1990 and 2018, wine grapes’ total bearing acreage went from 8,150 to 42,855 acres, according SLO County Department of Agriculture data. Paso Robles’ population grew from 19,500 to over 32,000 in the same time span.

Those in the ag industry—including Matt Turrentine, president of the Shandon-San Juan Water District and manager of Harvard Investment Group vineyards—are seeking a more multifaceted approach to solving the overdraft problem. They warn that there will be severe economic impacts if draconian pumping reductions are enacted.

“Calling for extreme reductions of 30 percent and trying to set a quicker timeline for balance than mandated by the state is a recipe for destroying the economy in the North County,” Turrentine said.

Even with a pumping moratorium, the Paso basin is still in a state of decline.

The aquifer stretching from the Monterey County line to the Carrizo Plain has an annual water deficit of 13,700 acrefeet—meaning 4.5 billion more gallons are pumped out of it every year than are recharged.

That overdraft has to be reversed under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), the state law passed in 2014, when the drought was ravaging water basins across California.

SGMA designated 21 basins in the state as being in “critical overdraft,” and prioritized their management. Paso is on that list.

“Everybody’s got to understand that the basin isn’t OK,” said Dick McKinley, Paso Robles’ public works director. “It’s a lot of millions of gallons short every year.”

SGMA allows some flexibility for the local agency—in this case the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee—to devise a path forward for the basin. This includes making decisions about what the optimum water levels are; developing a water monitoring network; implementing fees, policies, and projects; and setting a timeline for achieving results (with a drop-dead sustainability deadline of 2040). If the basin fails to meet its targets, the state can come in with its own fees and management actions.

“The key balance for everything is writing a plan that allows people to have flexibility to get to sustainability, but that still has meat and teeth,” McKinley said.

“It’s a fine line to walk.”

augment pumping. It’s not going to be cheap. But for a basin that’s in decline, we need to have supplemental water.”

Talking money

GRAPH BY ALEX ZUNIGA

GROWTH The growth of the SLO County wine industry has increased demand on the Paso Robles basin over time. The basin, which serves 40 percent of all the county’s agriculture, is overdrafted by 13,700 acre-feet annually.

Different visions

How exactly to walk that fine line depends on who you talk to.

Agriculture wants a plan that provides a more gradual approach for pumping reductions and includes supplemental projects that can provide additional water for the basin. Rural residents, smaller farmers, and county supervisors, on the other hand, prefer a heavier emphasis on hard and fast cutbacks for ag.

“We know what we have to do, but the way we’re going to do it we may not see the same,” said Steve Sinton, a Shandon grape grower and Shandon-San Juan district board member. “Our water district has its origins in the group that wanted to do projects to alleviate the shortfall. And I think we’re still in that camp.”

Fifth District SLO County Supervisor Debbie Arnold is a strong proponent of conservation as the main solution for the basin. At a Paso Basin Cooperative Committee meeting in April, Arnold demanded that one of the plan’s draft chapters get rewritten because it didn’t emphasize the role of pumping reductions enough.

“My constituents want the water levels to immediately come to a place where we’re sustainable,” Arnold said at the meeting. “We cannot put something out to the public that looks like we aren’t listening to them.”

Since that meeting, Arnold told New Times that the county has negotiated a target date of 2030 to get to pumping levels that balance the basin.

“It’s kind of a compromise, really,” she said. “My goal is to make it all as simple as we can. We can’t keep tapping the groundwater as much as we have.”

Ag industry members are at odds with Arnold over this approach, saying it disregards the benefit the industry has on the county economy.

Hilary Graves is a vineyard consultant and vice president of the Estrella-El Pomar-Creston Water District—which county supervisors denied a seat on the cooperative committee. She said that the supervisors’ approach shows that the county is not supporting agriculture.

“I think it’s irresponsible to have a

single solution to our overdraft problem,” she said.

No silver bullet

While there’s plenty of tension around the role of cutbacks in the sustainability plan, the reality is more complex and nuanced.

Some areas of the basin are in worse shape than others. The red zone, which has an epicenter east of the city of Paso, needs more immediate attention than the Shandon area, where levels are pretty stable. Because of the variation of the problem, solutions are also going to vary.

“There’s not going to be one magic silver bullet that saves the day,” Paso Public Works Director McKinley said. “It may be a whole bunch of smaller things that make it work.”

A combination of mandatory cutbacks, voluntary land fallowing, tiered water pricing, supplemental water and stormwater-capture projects, and a continued moratorium on new plantings are all expected to be part of the plan.

Farmers over the red zone, including J. Lohr Vineyards, are in discussions with the city of Paso on a project to deliver recycled wastewater to irrigate their fields in lieu of groundwater. The city is finishing design work on a pipeline to take the treated water out to city facilities, like parks and fields. The ag entities would then fund an additional pipeline to bring the water, which they’d buy from the city, to them.

One problem with the project is that the wastewater’s salt content is too high for farming. So they’re also looking at buying unused allocations of Lake Nacimiento water to mix with the wastewater to desalinate it.

In spite of its costs and complications, interested parties—including Jerry Reaugh, a water consultant for J. Lohr and a director at the Estrella-El PomarCreston district—feel that it’s the basin’s only reasonable project involving outside water sources.

“This is the project that takes advantage of available water,” Reaugh said. “As SGMA progresses and cutbacks come, this would be a source of water to

Supervisor Arnold said she has no objections to projects that bring new water to the basin, as long as those who want it are paying for it.

“They can buy water—it’s their business—and not ask all the taxpayers to support this business,” Arnold said.

“Most people certainly don’t want to be caught up in paying for something that has nothing to do with them.”

Protecting rural residents from basinrelated taxes is a high priority for Arnold.

De minimis groundwater users, or people who pump less than 2 acre-feet per year, are exempt from fees and regulation under the current draft sustainability plan.

Agriculturalists, on the other hand, are looking at the inevitability of rising costs—whether for pumping water or scaling back crop production.

“The whole economy of the North County is at stake,” Shandon grape grower Sinton said, “and the question is going to be what can you afford before you start cutting back. Despite all the information that’s out there, the news, the reports, I think there’s an awful lot of people who haven’t been paying attention to what’s coming.”

While Paso’s groundwater sustainability plan will set the blueprint for balancing the basin, there are plenty of questions and debates it will leave for another day.

The details and timing around policies, pumping fees, well monitoring, and enforcement linger on the horizon.

“There are a lot of hard conversations ahead,” McKinley said. “A lot of those will take place after the plan’s in place.”

One of the first tough conversations will be about funding the continued work of the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee.

Get involved

The public can review and submit comments on the full draft of the Paso Robles Groundwater Sustainability Plan starting Aug. 14. The plan is available at pasogcp.com and the 45-day public comment period ends on Sept. 29. The Paso Basin Cooperative Committee is scheduled to meet on Aug. 21, Oct. 23, and Nov. 20 at 4 p.m. in Paso Robles City Hall.

Current estimates are that it will cost $1.5 million per year for the plan’s first five years of implementation. While state grants covered most of the writing of the plan, it’s unclear if more will be available. If not, it could create a financial issue for the county, since the county sought more than 50 percent the committee’s voting power.

When discussing the Paso basin’s predicament today, it’s hard for Sinton not to think back to his childhood. Growing up in a multi-generational North County farming family, Sinton remembers the prevailing belief in the area that the groundwater could never run dry.

“When I was a kid, county engineers would say, ‘We’ve got more water than we could ever use.’ That’s what we were told for decades,” he said. “You’d see it in the newspaper when people would talk about water. Those statements by public officials went on probably after we should have known better.”

While Sinton’s family business survived the growth of the nearby wine industry, the drought, and the county’s 6-year-old pumping moratorium, Galbraith’s farm in San Miguel wasn’t so fortunate. It remains to be seen whether those farms will ever be able to water again.

“In my heart, it never was fair,” Supervisor Arnold said. “But if we just say, ‘Hey, lift that [moratorium],’ will we continue to see that expansion that’s created the problem?” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Opinion We need more information about shutoffs

T

hank you for publishing “Shutoffs aren’t the answer,” an important commentary by Robert Lewin (July 25). Many people are wondering how the possible power shutdowns will affect them and their communities.

But when the headlines fall off the front page of the daily paper without supplying much real information, we are already left in the dark.

Lewin’s commentary, however, did not explain enough. Is it true that utility transmission lines are typically not even insulated wire? Are there no switching devices that work like a circuit breaker or ground fault interrupter to instantly shut down affected lines in the locale of a fire emergency? Is it possible in the highest risk (inaccessible, forested, and/or highwind) geography to put transmission lines underground?

Most people have no idea what longdistance transmission lines serve which communities, nor do we understand how the power grid is mapped and where our electricity comes from. Have the utilities been required to publish maps of the high-risk areas and which communities would be affected?

I live in a Nipomo neighborhood with underground wiring, but we still lose power during storm or wind events outside my neighborhood. This happens repeatedly every season. I have solar panels supplying 95 percent of my needs, but I still lose power during such events.

Now I am faced with the prospect of coughing up another $16,000 or more for a Tesla Powerwall to keep my own power on. Clearly, home generators are not a

safe long-term solution, as explained in Kathe Tanner’s intelligent article in the July 25 SLO Tribune (“Any option will be costly, even doing nothing”).

I know of others in a lower density neighborhood who would also lose their water when the well pump loses power.

And with a newborn infant in the family, going without water and power for days on end is not an acceptable option. The more rural the setting—and the higher the fire risk—the more likely that residents are dependent on water wells and electric pumps. But how can we know if the municipal water company will have electricity during a public safety power shutdown?

If the utility companies and other public entities believe it is the homeowner’s responsibility to be prepared, then at the least they should be required to provide a great deal more information to help residents and communities prepare to be more energy independent.

Dan Hooper Nipomo

Sorry Gary, once again you’ve got it wrong I can recall a couple of years back when Gary Wechter wrote an op-ed in the New Times, telling us that basically, “We have the power and there’s nothing you can do about it,” (“So you didn’t vote for Trump,” Feb. 16, 2017). Now we see that the article should have read, “We have the power, and there’s nothing we are going to do with it.”

Just a reminder, Gary, that the Republicans held power over all branches of the government until six months ago.

So why didn’t they take steps to address the immigrant influx during that twoyear period? Why didn’t they fix health care as they promised instead of suing to destroy all of the Affordable Care Act because they couldn’t get their way? What is the president’s health care policy to replace the Affordable Care Act other than “I’ll let you know after the election.”

You’re right about one thing. The Trump administration did warn of the immigration situation 18 months ago. Again I ask, why didn’t the Senate, House, and the Republican administration fix it? Remember ol’ 45 telling us in no uncertain terms that “only I can fix it.” He tried to apply that catchphrase to every problem he perceived that he inherited for the previous administration.

So let’s look at his accomplishments.

A tax cut that only benefits his wealthy friends; two Supreme Court justices, one of whom is an accused rapist; and the destruction of every attempt to protect our environment. Let’s not overlook his economy that is currently $21 trillion in debt, more than $2 trillion more than when Obama left office. So when there is a Democratic president elected next year, guess who is going to be blamed for that staggering debt?

You guessed it, Barack Obama.

Speaking of the new administration to come, get ready to see all of Trump’s tax returns and all of the criminal enterprises he was and is involved in. Like what, you ask? Well there’s the Trump Foundation, the Trump Inauguration Committee, the Trump Organization, the emoluments violations, the obstructions of justice, and about 10 more investigations that are currently underway by the Southern District of New York.

We will find out about all of these

➤ Sound off [16] ➤ Rhetoric & Reason [18] ➤ Shredder [19]

Letters crimes and hold Trump responsible for them while trying to undo and fix all of the destructive elements during the first four years of the new administration.

Oh yes, he fixed the problem with North Korea by falling in love with its murderous, insane dictator. He also pledged his fealty to Vladimir Putin for putting him in office. How about his love affair with Saudi Arabia? All the while destroying this country’s strong relationships with our allies.

So you think that the House is not doing its job? Just ask the leader of the Senate (the self-described Grinch) who refuses to bring any bills from the House before the Senate and is not ashamed to come right out and say it. Not true? There was a bill passed recently by the House to send funds to each state’s election committees to help secure their ability to avoid infiltration of their voting systems in our next election.

Old Mr. Grinch refuses to bring that bill to the Senate floor for a vote, probably because he knows that without foreign interference he and No. 45 are up the creek without a life jacket.

So now Mr. Trump is counting on a few things to make his case for re-election.

Encouraging racial divide and starting a war with Iran.

Well Gary, we have now and will have again in 2021 the power, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

EMPLOYMENT

ARTS WRITER Join Our Team!

New Times in San Luis Obispo is looking for its next freelance arts writer, but we’re not looking for just any art-ogling, content-wrangling someone.

Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases about nothing exciting day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things—you know the ones: “Top 10 ironic places to find hipsters painting lemons on top of bicycles.”

Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated meet-and-greets that give a story what it needs to ripen into the nuanced, spellbinding narrative it’s dying to be.

Can you find the unassuming local artist who’s about to blow a hole in the status quo? Do you know what it means to find the culture that matters to a community— the stuff that gives a population its heartbeat, its soul? That sweet spot where culture, politics, art, and society collide into a massive chaotic hurricane of beautiful expression?

If so, then that’s exactly who we’re looking for: an arts writer who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to San Luis Obispo County. It’s not all about vineyards, rolling hills, and pounding surf brushed with light, ethereal watercolors (although that’s definitely here). It’s about that human element and where creativity lives. Can you find it?

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes.

We dare you. Send résumé and clips to Cindy Rucker at crucker@newtimesslo.com.

them for their significant deeds, and remember those deeds with their images.

Recently Queenie Warden, SLO’s first female mayoral candidate, got a plaque on Mission Plaza, and Frances Margaret Milne, our first public librarian, got a monument in the San Luis Cemetery. Both of these efforts to remember flawed but significant crusaders for the betterment of our selves emerged from private citizens and made our public space richer.

The proposed monument in Mitchell Park remembers the place and moment that our busiest environmentalist—who preserved a quarter of a billion acres— introduced the idea that “our aim must be to hand over to our children not an impoverished but an improved heritage.”

Teddy Roosevelt did it here, in the park, in front of 10,000 locals, in front of the nation, and changed the course of history.

Was Roosevelt flawed? Absolutely.

Should memorials to our progress be more diverse? Absolutely. Should SLO City Council, to express its disapproval of the imperfect nature of human history, forbid the rest of us an entire category of free expression about it? Absolutely not, for that would only prove history has taught us nothing.

Community choice seems like a scam

I was reading Andrew Christie from the Sierra Club’s piece on community choice energy, and I am afraid that I find the subject very confusing (“They’d rather not discuss it,” July 25). That should come as no surprise since I only have a BA from the University of Oregon.

I majored in Italian, which pretty much qualifies me to be a waiter in some dumpy trattoria. I have to admit that technical stuff is a challenge for me, so you will have to bear with me on this.

As I understand it, community choice energy means that a person has the opportunity to pay extra money to get power from non-carbon-emitting sources (except nuclear of course). What I don’t understand is how they get that green power to your house. Do they install special lines or something? And what happens when this green power is not available, which is actually most of the time. Does that mean you have to do without power for most of the time? I’m sorry, but I have a real problem with this.

For example, I offer the following analogy: Let’s say you have the opportunity to purchase only clear, spring water for your water supply. Your crystalline water trickles from the spring and splashes down a rocky mountain gully: Bees are buzzing, blooming daisies waft all about in the breeze, birds are chirping, and even the bears are vegan.

This trickle tumbles into a rural stream surrounded by vast, verdant fields and pastures, where the growing flow is flavored with pesticide and chemical fertilizer residue, along with chicken and pig shit until it reaches a river where industrial waste and polluted runoff further flavor the gentle flow.

As it approaches your city, it arrives at a treatment plant, where even more chemicals are added to bring the water to a level that makes it unlikely to kill humans outright (at least before the next election), and your water then makes its way through a network of lines where

it picks up residues from lead, copper, and PVC piping until finally your clear, crystalline water arrives at your tap.

It would seem to me pretty stupid to pay extra for that clear spring water, and it seems to me that paying extra for green power is just as stupid, because most of what arrives at your house to be consumed by you will not be green power. In California, most of that power will come from natural gas, which is well known to Andrew since his Sierra Club has taken many millions from a fracking company to promote natural gas as a bridge fuel.

The question is: Just how long is that bridge? I would say decades, the way things are looking.

In summary, it seems to me that community choice energy is simply one of many scams that are created to allow guilt-ridden liberals to pay useless money so they can feel like they are making things better, and to feel better about themselves as they pilot their gleaming and monstrous SUVs over to the recycling center.

Let’s have an animal rights parade I’m so sick of hearing about parades.

Whether they are gay parades or straight parades, who really cares? If you want to go to a parade, you go to it. If you want to participate in one, you participate.

Nobody is forcing either issue.

I say let’s have a parade that would get something done. Let’s have an animal rights parade! Let’s clear out Woods Humane Society and the county animal shelter. Let’s get people, whether they’re gay or straight, to leash an animal and walk with it in the parade. This in the hopes of perhaps finding the poor animal a home. In addition, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were a no-kill county. Take all the money that the county is pouring into San Luis Obispo County Animal Services and direct it toward Woods.

Nonprofits seem to manage their money much better than civil service.

As long as your fancy is not beastiality, you’re welcome to participate in the parade. March on! All the fur babies are in desperate need. Especially since it is kitten season right now.

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY JOHN DONEGAN

Open your mind

I

t is time to leave your political “echo chamber” and listen to other views.

Yes, even the ones that piss you off.

If what you are looking for is unquestioning affirmation of your wisdom and assurance of the sheer rightness of your opinions, you ought to get a dog.

With a daily bowl of kibble, and perhaps the occasional table scrap, you will be assured of uncritical “buy-in” for whatever crazy idea may capture your imagination.

Plus, dogs are discreet and won’t get you into trouble by revealing your politics to your Trump-loving father-in-law.

But you may want more and may be sufficiently confident in your beliefs to risk exposing them to other opinions.

Hearing opposing views won’t hurt you.

Honest. Many of us tend to limit our associations to the like-minded and hear only views similar to our own. This tends to create confirmation and the belief that “everyone” sees things your way.

But not only will considering opposing views sharpen your own thinking on a subject, it may also give you insight into the thinking of your political adversaries.

This will allow you to more effectively rebut their arguments, rather than just resorting to the usual shopworn caricatures and sloganeering that only generate noise and rancor—which never change anyone’s mind.

And, those of you on the liberal side may also recognize that when you deliberately

insulate yourselves from the other side, you tend to expose yourself to mocking and parody. The demand for “safe places,” “trigger warnings,” and the use of “therapy puppies” to protect you from the trauma of mere ideas not only make you look absurdly fragile, but provide grist for more than a few unkind comedy routines.

With a view toward further diversifying its voices, New Times has asked that I join with contributor Al Fonzi on its pages, and occasionally present the conservative perspective on local issues. Readers may react to this news with a dismissive yawn, “so what?” or “big deal,” but nonetheless, here I am.

SLO city is a lot more liberal than the rest of the county, and most of the country.

If you doubt me, try strolling through downtown in a MAGA hat and engaging strangers in discussions on immigration policy. Then, head up to North County, and extoll the moral imperative of being “woke.” While a picture of a 20-year-old frat kid in blackface or a sombrero may cause locals to erupt in a hyperbolic

eluding mob pursuit, and I have found that even the most righteously offended throng will usually not pursue you up a tree, at least if it is sufficiently tall. I have also found that the average dry cleaner charges a lot to remove tar and feathers from clothing.

Now, you may wonder why I would bother to write opinion pieces, beyond my obvious membership in the not-so-secret right wing cabal, which is determined to enslave The People. First, to some of us, writing is like flatulence. It is something that must be released, no matter how unwelcome it may be to others in the vicinity. As a recovered liberal myself, I have no illusions that I am going to somehow change minds. I am unlikely to provoke a sudden epiphany, causing a reader to give themselves a palm to the forehead, and exclaim, “Wow! I never looked at it that way. He’s right!” The best result I can hope for is something like what I get in my arguments with my buddy Fat Larry. He will never yield or concede a point, but he may later inadvertently let slip a reference revealing that my argument made an impression and he considered it. This will have to do.

Well, I have to run. There is another torchlight march coming up my street, and hearing my name chanted angrily is always a bit disturbing. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney who, perhaps a bit nostalgic for his days trying to beguile disinterested judges, stays busy by ranting on the issues of the day.

lather, in most of the country, it merely makes folks reflect on all the dumb and embarrassing stunts they pulled when they were young and grateful that they grew up before the internet.

If you are especially daring, and possess a sturdy constitution, you might even try something as radical as checking a conservative news source, such as Fox. Think of it as an anthropological experiment. For example, studying headhunters doesn’t mean that you endorse the practice.

A conservative around SLO city is truly an exotic. You may wonder, “Are there really two of these characters hereabouts in SLO?” Yes, at least two, and maybe even more.

Perhaps we’ll form a cell or something. Being retired, and part of the last generation to learn cursive writing in school, we already have a secret code we can use to conceal our communications from you younger people.

Or your reaction may be less charitable.

The Shredder

To serve you better?

S

tart planning to drink your Saturday morning coffee hunched over your smartphone instead of with newspaper in hand because SLO Town’s daily paper, The Tribune, will no longer be printing a Saturday edition starting on Nov. 2. Instead, it’ll publish “a new weekend package with expanded newspapers on Fridays and Sundays and access to the Saturday edition exclusively online,” publisher Tim Ritchey wrote.

“We invite you to ‘go digital’ and visit our website or eEdition, which replicates the experience of a printed newspaper online.

You’ll also find our EXTRA EXTRA digital supplement with more national, international, and entertainment news and Sports Xtra, our sports supplement.”

EXTRA EXTRA? Xtra? Sorry, Tweety, but your cage will have to wait until Sunday for a fresh liner. Old fish, you’ll need to be wrapped in Dunder Mifflin double-bonded printer paper.

Forgive me for making fun of The Trib.

In truth, it breaks my heart to see our beloved daily paper struggling. Aside from Thursday and Sunday editions, The Trib can usually be folded in fourths and still slid under a closed door. Monday’s edition is so thin a slight breeze often blows if off my porch and down the street.

Ritchey can lay on the window dressing about how the eEdition “replicates the experience of a printed newspaper” all he wants. The bottom line is The Trib’s taking something away from its readers

with no reduction in subscription rates.

It reminds me of the letter I got back in February from Charter Communications Spectrum cable television, which essentially said that to serve me better, it was taking away two of my channels—Cinemax and EPIX— but continuing to charge me the same ridiculously high rates. I could, however, add both stations back for another $15.98 a month to, you know, serve me better.

Gee, thanks?

Many people have already canceled their subscription to The Trib, and I fear this new move isn’t going to engender more goodwill toward the publication, which has cut or relocated many reporter and staff positions. It no longer prints its own paper, having years ago shuttered its printing press, and it moved from its sprawling building off South Higuera to smaller offices on Tank Farm Road.

If you value print journalism, I encourage you to subscribe to The Tribune, which can trace its roots back to 1869. Journalism matters, and The Trib is doing all it can to survive and continue to serve SLO County. Viva la Trib!

“Die minorities!”

I’m actually not sure if that’s a direct quote from greeting cards threatening to shoot minorities allegedly sent by Richard Orcutt, 62, to property managers and homeowners in his neighborhood. I like to imagine the American flag-festooned cards were filled with Hallmark-like greetings

for every occasion.

“There are people in our lives who hold a special place … ” (and inside) “but you’re not one of them, beaner, so Imma bust a cap in yo ass.”

“Thinking of you on this special day … ” (and inside) “with my fully loaded .38 special, with which I’ll kill you dead, Sambo.”

“Your birthday should be something to remember … ” (and inside) “because after I shoot you, you’ll never have another one, slant-eye.”

Orcutt’s attorney Guy Galambos assured New Times that his client “did not write or send the threatening cards in this case.”

Law enforcement said the investigation is ongoing, so they won’t reveal the evidence they have against Orcutt, but Galambos claims it’s “a circumstantial evidence case; there is no direct evidence of Mr. Orcutt’s guilt.”

Shmaybe, but that hasn’t stopped the SLO County District Attorney’s Office from filing a criminal complaint charging Orcutt with 10 felonies—seven charges of making criminal threats, one charge of attempting to make a criminal threat (insufficient postage?), and two charges of possessing an assault weapon.

Oh yeah! Almost forgot. The SLO Police Department said that when

the SLO Regional SWAT Team and SLO County Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail (overkill much?) served a search warrant at Orcutt’s home, they found about a dozen handguns and two dozen rifles and shotguns— two of which were illegal assault-style weapons—not to mention thousands of rounds of ammo.

“Richard Orcutt is a 31-year veteran of the San Luis Obispo Fire Deparment.

He spent his career saving people’s lives and property. Richard’s close friends and family know that he is not a racist and not dangerous,” Galambos said in a statement.

He just likes guns! Lots and lots of guns! In the sage words of Childish Gambino, “Look at how I’m livin’ now/ Police be trippin’ now/ Yeah, this is America/ Guns in my area/ I got the strap/ I gotta carry ’em.”

According to the criminal complaint, Orcutt threatened death or great bodily injury to eight people.

Add in the recent Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting by Santino William Legan, and it feels like this is all getting too close to home. In an LA Times report on the crime, during the shooting someone in the festival crowd shouted, “Why are you doing this?”

Legan allegedly replied, “Because I’m really angry.”

WITNESS James McMurtry chronicles America’s tribalism on his biting new satirical single “State of the Union.” He plays BarrelHouse Brewing on Aug. 2.

State of the Union

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents have a slew of shows this week, including three shows in three locations on Friday, Aug. 2. The biggie, in my estimation, is singer-songwriter James McMurtry at BarrelHouse Brewing (doors at 6 p.m.; all ages; $22 presale at Boo Boo’s or ticketfly.com or $25 at the door).

Like his father, Lonesome Dove author Larry McMurtry, James has a way with words. His most recent song is “State of the Union,” available as a free download on his website. The biting satire of American tribalism pits conservative and liberal thought: “My brother’s a fascist/ Loves in Palacios/ Fishes the pier every night/ He holsters his Glock/ In a double retention/ He smokes while he waits for a bit/ He don’t like the Muslims, he don’t like the Jews/ He don’t like the Blacks and he don’t trust the news/ He hates the

Hispanics and alternate view/ He’ll tell you it’s tough to be white,” McMurtry sings in the first verse.

At dinner with the protagonist and his family, he “got into it good” with his brother: “I called him a hick and he called me a hood/ He said, ‘Dad always treated his Mexicans good/ I guess you think you’re better somehow// Yeah you think you’re better/ Cardigan sweatered/ Snowflake if ever there was/ You think you’re so cool/ ’Cause you did better in school/ You got whipped every day on the bus.’”

The chorus rings out, “It’s the state of the union, I guess/ We’re all in a hell of a mess/ We’re all in the family, the cursed and the blessed/ It’s the state of the union, I guess.”

Like his last album, 2015’s Complicated Game, his new single proves McMurtry is adept at getting to the heart of a conflict, but he’s quick to point out that his narrative songs are fictitious: “Every region of the United States seems to have its own way of Anglicizing, or rather, Americanizing Spanish names,” McMurtry explained in press materials. “There’s a town called Palacios on the Texas coast. Texans pronounce it ‘Palashuss,’ which just happens to kinda rhyme with ‘fascist.’ While there’s usually at least one in every town, I don’t know for a fact that there’s even one actual fascist residing in or near the town of Palacios, Texas. This song, like most of my songs, is a work of fiction. Any resemblance of any

SMOOTH OPERATOR Australian native Sammy Johnson brings his Polynesian-influenced sounds to the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Aug. 2.

BEACH PARTY Slightly Stoopid plays a four-band bash at the beach on Aug. 2, at the Avila Beach Golf Resort.

STARKEY from page 30

Get Stoopid!

In what promises to be a massive and epic party at the beach, Otter Productions Inc. is bringing Slightly Stoopid on their “How I Spent My Summer Vacation 2019” tour to the Avila Beach Golf Resort on Friday, Aug. 2 (gates at 4 p.m., show at 5 p.m.; all ages; $42 to $100 beach balcony at Boo Boo’s and eventbrite.com). Tribal Seeds, Matisyahu, and Hirie open.

It’s hard to pigeonhole Slightly Stoopid, who by their own admission plays “a fusion of folk, rock, reggae, and blues, with hip-hop, funk, metal, and punk” thrown in. Just expect to hear killer party tracks like “2am,” “Collie Man,” “Wiseman,” “Sweet Honey,” and “Closer to the Sun.”

Comes from a land down under The SLO Brew Rock Event Center has Australian native Sammy Johnson—aka Sammy J—playing on Friday, Aug. 2 (8 p.m.; 18-and-older; $20 at Boo Boo’s and slobrew.com). He embraces his Maori and Polynesian roots to create socially conscious and uplifting music. “Blending together island reggae, soul, and jazz vibes with heartfelt lyrics, Sammy’s sound is exhilarating and intoxicating,” his bio claims. Check out his song “Hey” online to catch his chill vibe.

Grateful Shred, a band that pays homage to the Grateful Dead, plays the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Wednesday, Aug. 7 (7:30 p.m.; 18-andolder; $15 at Boo Boo’s and slobrew.com).

According to their bio, they’re “more of a take on the Dead than a tribute band … [that] … manages to channel that elusive

Dead vibe, with wide-open guitar tones, effortless three-part vocal harmonies, choogling beats, and yes, plenty of tripped out, shredded solos.”

Return of the Kings

The Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes and Tonino Baliardo play the Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Sunday, Aug. 4 (8 p.m.; all ages; $47.50 to $92.50 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). This Grammy-Award winning Latin act delivers classic flamenco sounds as well as rumba, salsa, and pop music. With 20 million albums sold, their music has appeared in Sing, The Big Lebowski, Toy Story 3, and Glee. Special guest Simi opens.

Indie folk act Lord Huron, with special guests Shakey Graves and Julia Jacklin, plays the Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Tuesday, Aug. 6 (7 p.m.; all ages; $40 to $50 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). Lord Huron had its big break last year with the release of Vide Noir, which debuted in the top 5 on Billboard’s Top 200.

Brainfeeder

Electronic, experimental, jazz, rap, hip-hop, IDM (intelligent dance music), wonky, glitch, lo-fi artist Flying Lotus plays the Fremont Theater on Thursday, Aug. 8 (9 p.m.; all ages; $36.69 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo.com), with Salami Rose Joe Louis and PBDY. This one’s going to be weird good!

Lights, on Thursday, Aug. 1 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $22 at Boo Boo’s, Ball & Skein, or by calling (805) 927-8330). Johnson’s been described as an “unchained, raw talent, creating emotional and tangible music.”

Damon Castillo may very well have dropped the local hit of the summer, with his new single “My Kind of Jam,” which will only be available on local radio stations: “I wanted to make a jam to underscore good times at the barbecue, the beach, and cruising in the car, the places where FM influenced my life,” Castillo said. Request it at your favorite radio station or see him perform it and more at Concerts in the Plaza this Friday, Aug. 2, in the SLO Mission Plaza (5:30 p.m.; all ages; free).

Americana roots artists Glen Delpit and The Subterraneans are celebrating 30 years together with a Saturday, Aug. 3, show at The Siren (2:30 to 5:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; free).

If you’re looking for a band that knows how to get the party started, check out the album release party for The Jump Jax this Saturday, Aug. 3, at D’Anbino (7:30 p.m.; 21-and-older; $10). Their new album mixes danceable originals with classic tracks like “She Caught the Katy,” “Route 66,” and “Seventh Son.” Their songs are punctuated by Don Jacobsen’s saxophone, and the band also includes inveterate local performers Ted Waterhouse, Michael Smothers, and Dave Block.

Studios on the Park’s art show takes inspiration from rock ’n’ roll

lmost everything is better off with a good, solid soundtrack, whether it’s the morning commute to work or the latest superhero movie.

Curator and artist Celeste Hope wanted to bring the power of music to visual art, in more ways than one with the I Love Rock ’N’ Roll exhibit. The collection of works, which features art by or about musicians, is currently on display at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles.

For this show, Hope recommends tracks like “Rocket Man,” by Elton John or “We Are The Champions,” by Queen.

“They’re such anthems and represent a fun summer vibe as well,” Hope said.

Hope, who used to be a full-time concert photographer in Austin, Texas, before she relocated to the Central Coast with her husband (owner of Hope Family Wines), featured her own music photography last year in another rock ’n’ roll-themed show. The concept was so popular that Hope decided to bring it back again, but she opted this time to focus on the role of curator so she could display the works of other artists.

“Just bringing that rock culture to Paso is different than the other shows at Studios each month,” Hope said.

NOTED The piece Freddy Mercury, by Hayato Takano, is made to mimic the look of sheet music.

Los Angeles-based artist Hayato Takano’s piece, Freddy Mercury, named for the famous lead singer of Queen, is depicted through mimicking the look of sheet music by cutting out the lyrics of songs.

“It’s very different and intricate,” Hope said.

A vibrant watercolor and ink piece, The Way Is Out, featuring a bright abstract mass of orange and two human legs, is the work of Incubus lead singer

SLO Railroad Museum hosts Art After Dark reception

The San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum is partnering with McConnell’s Ice Cream for an ice cream social-themed Art After Dark reception on Friday, Aug. 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. Guests can enjoy viewing various displays, a scale model railroad, and railroad-themed art, including photography and experimental video art. The reception’s featured artists are Dennis Gisler, Jonathan Haile, Glen Matteson, Jeff Perry, Joan Sullivan, Brent MacGregor, and Alan Upshaw.

McConnell’s will be providing free samples of ice cream from their many flavors.

Additional ice cream will also be available to guests for purchase. Admission to the reception is free. The museum is located at 1940 Santa Barbara Ave., San Luis Obispo.

Hope said the show is one that should appeal to multiple generations who can connect with the music and musicians behind the art.

“It’s a nice mix of different mediums,” Hope said of the show. “It’s kind of a nostalgic thing because there are a lot of musicians on display who have passed.

Santa Barbara artist crafts sculpture with found objects

I

t can take three-dimensional artist Elisa Ortega Montilla of Santa Barbara several months to completely finish making a piece. The most timeconsuming part? Finding the materials for her sculptures.

“I try to mix found objects with made sculpture,” Montilla said.

The artist estimates that 70 percent of her pieces are made up of found objects, while about 30 percent of materials are made in studio for a particular piece.

Montilla’s artwork is currently on display as part of The 3rd Dimension art show, the annual sculpture exhibit put on by the Central Coast Sculptors Group at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. While art has always been a part of Montilla’s life, it’s only recently that art has been her full-time focus. For most of her life, Montilla was employed as a social worker, before going back to school to get her Master of Fine Arts degree at UC Santa Barbara several years ago.

But she grew up painting as a teenager and always felt a longing for the creative side of life. Her first career informed her second, and her art now takes inspiration

from themes like social justice, feminism, responsibility, and equality.

Her piece on display at SLOMA, Remiendos, taps into these themes by using reclaimed materials in her abstract, contemporary piece.

“I’ve been looking to see where I belong in the legacy of women who came before me,” said Montilla, who takes inspiration from other female artists. “It’s a tribute to my personal past as well as to feminists who have come before me.”

While others have detected a circus vibe in Remiendos from the colorful fabric and the juggling clubs, that wasn’t Montilla’s intention. However, she enjoys that viewers of her work put their own spin on her art, and she wants them to have a playful experience with it.

“I want to make art that people can relate to, so it’s a little more jokey,” Montilla said. “There’s nothing specific relating to the circus, but I love that connection.”

Remiendos in particular, took about three months for Montilla to finish creating. According to Montilla, the most

painstaking part of her process is collecting all the found objects and producing multiple drafts of a particular piece of sculpture before she’s completely happy with it.

“I just hope that they enjoy it,” Montilla said about her art work.

“For me, making art is about that intimate connection you have with someone you don’t know. The goal for me is to make art that’s democratic, that anyone can understand.” ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is collecting this and that. Contact her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Cliff delivers a couple of pretty epic beat-downs in this film, including the licking of a shoeless string bean out at Spahn’s ranch, which is one you won’t soon forget. This is another film with Tarantino all over it, and it’s a great addition to his body of work.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS Jimmie Falls (Jimmie Falls) reclaims his childhood home, a Victorian house built by his grandfather, in The Last Black Man in San Francisco.

MOVIES from page 40 What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm Co-writer Joe Talbot directs this story co-written by Ron Richert and the film’s protagonist Jimmie Falls, a young black man in San Francisco who reclaims his childhood home, a Fillmore District Victorian house supposedly built by his grandfather.

This charming independent film is a reminder of what’s possible outside the big money studio system, and it establishes first-time featurelength director Talbot as someone to watch.

Poetic, soulful, and elegiac—it’s a lament for what’s been lost to gentrification, a poignant examination of race and class, and a swan song to a deeply felt male friendship.

Jimmie and his best friend, Montgomery “Mont” Allen (Jonathan Majors), spend their days moving through San Francisco by bus or skateboard when they’re not working their menial jobs—Jimmy as a caregiver in an old folks home and Mont as a fishmonger. They frequently go

by Jimmie’s childhood home, which his drugaddicted father (Rob Morgan) lost in the ’90s.

He’s deeply attached to the house and its history of being built in 1946 by his grandfather in the Victorian style of a century before.

Jimmie feels like the current owners aren’t properly caring for the house, so when they’re gone, he sneaks onto the property to paint window trim or pull weeds until the white liberal owners return to shoo him away.

Jimmie and Mont, who share a bedroom in Mont’s grandfather’s (Danny Glover) home, are rendered in sharp contrast to the young men in Mont’s neighborhood, who seem to do little else than stand in the street and argue about who’s tougher.

Mont is especially sensitive and is constantly sketching or writing scenes for a play he’s working on. He’s really the heart of the film, and his loyalty to Jimmie is commendable. What the film doesn’t deal in are absolute truths. Instead, this is a story about dreams and possibilities smashing against realities.

There’s some breathtaking cinematography

by Adam Newport-Berra and arty direction

by Talbot, but what really sells this film are Falls and Majors, whose performances are so perfect, so affecting, and so nuanced.

Sometimes a mere look is enough to break your heart, and your heart will surely break with the conclusion of this achingly tender story of two men in love with a city that doesn’t seem to love them back. (121 min.)

THE LION KING

What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Rent it Where’s it showing? Bay, Downtown Centre, Fair Oaks, Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Jon Favreau (Elf, Iron Man, Cowboys & Aliens, Chef, The Jungle Book (2016)) helms this photorealistic-animated remake of Disney’s 1994 animated classic of the same name about lion prince Simba (voiced by JD McCrary as a cub and Donald Glover as an adult), who’s driven from his kingdom as a cub after his king father, Mufasa (voiced by James Earl Jones), is murdered by his jealous brother, Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor).

The film opens strong with baby Simba’s majestic unveiling to the animal kingdom, set to “Circle of Life” of course, followed by an intricately designed sequence of a mouse scurrying through its surroundings, before being plucked by Scar. “Life’s not fair, is it, my little friend?” asks everyone’s favorite fratricidal feline. Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, Children of Men) was an inspired choice for Scar, whose original iteration is one of the greatest antagonists in Disney’s pantheon.

The weight and brutality he brings to the role

make it all the more disappointing that the villain’s murderous anthem, “Be Prepared,” gets butchered down to a mere 20 seconds of talk-singing (one of the few instances the film departs from the original).

Scar of course plots to eliminate his brother, Mufasa, and nephew, Simba, the rightful heir to the throne in the event of his father’s death.

After Mufasa is murdered during the infamous stampede coup d’état (“long live the king”), Scar convinces Simba it’s his fault and advises him to run away. The lion prince then travels to the desert, only to bump into the lovable Timon (voiced by Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa (voiced by Seth Rogan), who teach young Simba to embrace a certain carefree philosophy the whole theater is guaranteed to sing along to.

I can’t quite put my finger on what got lost in translation, but somehow this highly anticipated remake—almost a shot-for-shot remake I might add—just didn’t do it for me. It’s both a faithful adaptation of the original and a visually astounding spectacle in its own right—so what else could I have possibly asked for? Maybe my hopes were just too high. I went in ready to love it but left the theater feeling meh. Most of the original’s charm just didn’t carry over for me.

Don’t get me wrong, though; it’s far from terrible. Like a loving sitcom parent, I’m not angry with The Lion King, I’m just disappointed.

Remember the moment right before Mufasa has a stern talk with young Simba (after he and Nala are rescued from the hyenas)? Simba walks over to Mufasa but pauses when one of his front paws sinks into his father’s footprint.

In that instance, the lion prince realizes he’s got some pretty big shoes to fill someday. For me, the original Lion King is that footprint. But unlike Simba, who grows big enough to fill that print halfway through the film, this remake is confined to cubhood. (118 min.)

FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER’S MONSTER, FRANKENSTEIN When? 2019 What’s it rated? TV-14 Where? Netflix Editor’s note: Welcome to Hatewatch, our newest film column, where we revel in the shows and movies we just can’t look away from—shows so bad they’re good, flicks so awful we get that flush of self-righteousness, B-movies more guilt inducing than pleasurable. You know you hate-watch too.

I

don’t feel great about the reasons I wanted to watch Netflix’s new mockumentary, Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein. The first was the title. Seriously, as an editor, I was drawn to the punctuation.

DESTINY Young Simba (voiced by JD McCrary) doesn’t yet realize the scope of his responsibilities to come, in The Lion King.

MAIDEN What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm Alex Holmes (Stop at Nothing: The Lance Armstrong Story) directs the true story of Tracy Edwards, a young cook on a boat who formed the first all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989.

This documentary stands out from the rest as Holmes puts you in the thick of sailing at sea alongside these women rather than just telling you their already compelling story. With every challenge in the water and objection of being told “girls” can’t win, let alone make it through the first stretch of the race, the audience is with the women in their triumph.

Edwards wasn’t the happiest teenager after her father died suddenly from a heart attack, and her mother remarried an abusive man.

The negativity and abuse was enough to make Edwards leave and seek out another life, which led her to become the cook on a charter boat.

We don’t spend too much time on the past as she races toward making history.

The cooking gig eventually leads Edwards to learn about the Whitbread Round the World Race, now known as the Ocean Race, a literal race around the world on a yacht over the course of several months. Edwards believes it’s her calling to be a part of the race, a burning feeling she’s never had before. The only thing stopping her is that she’s a female or—as many of the skippers and crew members call her—a girl. She’s a distraction and definitely not strong enough to tackle the dangerous seas. (If I could roll my eyes to the back of my head I would.)

Edwards doesn’t take no for an answer, which seems to be a successful mantra for her throughout her endeavor of handpicking her allfemale crew and entering the race with no prior

It’s a technically correct messy mouthful. And second: David Harbour. My husband and I just finished season one of Stranger Things (yes, we’re way behind), and I have to admit I’d never seen Harbour in anything else, so his face caught my eye.

Another reason: One of Arrested Development’s writers (John Levenstein) was behind this piece. How could it not be funny? And at just longer than half an hour, my husband and I had little to lose.

With eyebrows raised, we hit play. Once it started, we couldn’t look away.

I love mockumentaries—especially the Christopher Guest variety (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind) and the current Documentary Now! series. But Frankenstein is a bit of a twofer—it’s half tongue-in-cheek, decent production-value mockumentary, and half super campy stage play that sends up dozens of tropes. I’m not a student of the theater, but even I was able to pick up on a bunch of in-jokes. I won’t ruin any whoppers, but one character’s name is a big no-no in the PHOTO COURTESY OF NETFLIX

experience as a skipper.

But the team meets plenty of other barriers along the way: not having enough money for a boat, not having any sponsors, being female in a male-dominated sport, and learning how to hone in on everyone’s strengths. Nothing stops the women from entering the race in 1989.

The documentary is riddled with old news footage, photos, and home videos of the excursion. It also has interviews with the crew, and it’s compelling to hear their take on what it was like to work together and defy all the odds that were thrown at them.

While this is about the females that made the Maiden (their boat) famous and their successes and losses in the water, it also highlighted the blatant misogyny they faced daily. It was maddening but not surprising that the men on other teams doubted the Maiden crew, with the journalists even taking digs at them. It’s funny how the newscasters forgot how to do their job and basically asked the Maiden women different and dumbed-down questions.

Overall, it was amazing to ride the waves with these kick-ass women as they challenged the status quo. (97 min.)

theater world. Chekhov’s gun is definitely a thing in the play within the mockumentary. And the fourth wall? Forget about it!

Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein does have a bit of a plot— Harbour spoofs himself on a quest to answer questions about his fictional father and the stage career that went awry. After finding a film of his dad starring in a Frankenstein play, Harbour walks back through his father’s footsteps to try to get answers. This is enough of a framework to set up the absurdity that ensues on stage, in which Harbour plays his father acting in multiple roles.

We watched Harbour with wide-eyed delight—he deadpans his way through the mockumentary parts and hams it up mightily to play his egotistical father.

This messy little gem also manages to weave in bits from The Actor’s Trunk, itself a spoof of an acting craft show, which gives insight into Harbour’s father’s career. There are a few words from the play’s sponsors, including clips of Harbour eating and drinking a la Orson Welles in one of those infamous Paul Masson wine commercials.

This Frankenstein’s monster of a mockumentary was entertaining, in a “what did we just watch?” kind of way, and also in a “you have to see it for yourself” way.

But if you need another reason to watch this weird one-off, here you go: Alfred Molina.

The film features never-before-seen footage, concert performances, and intimate interviews with the performer.

Howard clearly has a lot of affection for his subject, and he makes the man as thrilling and interesting as his music. Of course, a man with Pavarotti-sized appetites can’t come out looking like an angel, which only serves to humanize a man with god-sized talent. (114 min.)

It’s an impression of Elton’s life. It’s about his struggle with homosexuality, his estrangement from his parents, his rocky relationships, his handling of fame, and his eventual realization that his lifestyle isn’t sustainable.

Can Stu survive and maintain his excellent Uber driver rating?

This film will get a few laughs out of you, but also some groans, eye rolls, and a severely strained credulity. Its title—Stuber—is a combination of the driver, Stu, and the company he drives for, Uber, which sort of tells you about the level of sophistication you should expect.

The mismatched buddy flick is a tired formula, and Stuber tries to mix it up with Stu’s sensitivity and Vic’s toxic masculinity, but its thematic exploration runs shallow.

When Bonnie’s family goes on a road trip, Forky takes off, so Woody and a few other toys go in search of him.

When I first heard Toy Story 4 was in the works, I felt betrayed and bewildered. Toy Story 3 had such a finality to it, why try to follow a nearly perfect ending to the series? So why keep going? Well, money of course! Little did I know Pixar’s more noble intentions for this installment, which surprisingly opens the door to countless more adventures—for some characters more than others.

WILD ROSE What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing?

When Rose takes work as a house cleaner, she finds an ally in the woman of the house. This is definitely a banner year for music-centric films, and this low-budget U.K. charmer brings a hefty emotional wallop along for the ride.

Tattooed on her arm is the phrase “three chords and the truth,” her definition of country music. Rose-Lynn has a voice, and she certainly has enough heartache to write 100 country ballads, but the film is also about her finding a way to express her truth and those deep emotions, and that’s what makes it all so wonderful. I laughed and cried and would absolutely watch this film again.

It’s entertaining and moving and ultimately redemptive, just like a great country song.

Into the breach!

We take Santa Barbara by storm

H

ave you heard people complain that San Luis Obispo is becoming too much like Santa Barbara, as if Santa Barbara is some kind of hellhole?

Me too, so cover me, because I’m going in!

It’s Friday, July 19, and my wife and I are driving to a place many hope SLO won’t turn into.

After our obligatory stop at Arroyo Grande’s In-N-Out and a quick 90-minute drive, we’re pulling into our home away from home, The White Jasmine Inn, a super charming bed and breakfast about three-blocks off State Street.

The weather is a perfect 72-degrees, and our antiques-filled Victorian-style room comes with a private Jacuzzi and patio. We certainly wouldn’t want SLO to turn into this insufferable place!

We book reservations at a restaurant my endodontist recommended during my last root canal, Olie e Limone Ristorante, where we have an amazing dinner that includes “Fettuccine con Spugnole e Asparagi” (ribbon pasta, morel mushrooms, asparagus, cream) and “Lombata de Vitello alla Griglia” (grilled veal chop, roasted potatoes, rosemary jus). Yes, we eat tortured baby cow. No, we don’t feel good about it. Yes, it tastes amazing! SLO already has really great Italian restaurants, so in that regard we’re already like Santa Barbara. Gasp!

After dinner, we stroll down State Street and hit a couple cozy bars, first The Good Lion, where my wife raves about their Manhattan, and then The James Joyce, a good old-fashioned Irish pub that features generous whiskey pours and live music. We take a Lyft home because we’ve walked enough, thank you very much.

When we awaken on Saturday, July 20, we enjoy a European style buffet with Norwegian smoked salmon, sliced ham and cheeses, cream cheese, hardboiled eggs, assorted breads, butter and assorted jams, Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, fresh cut seasonal fruits (kiwi, grapes, peaches, pineapple, blueberries), vegetarian quiche or spanakopita, coffee, tea, and juice. We’re eating good, baby!

We walk about three blocks to the Santa Barbara Goodwill to check on any must-have treasures. I find a hand-blown glass bottle stop and a couple of nice rocks glasses. My wife scores some rain boots and Asian flats with embroidery. We’re out the door for 22 bucks! Hooza!

After a soak in our Jacuzzi, we take a Lyft to the Santa Barbara Marina and put our names in at famed seafood spot Brophy Bros., which gives us a pager and estimated 20 to 25 minute wait, so we walk around the marina and take in the sights and sounds, like a guy selling fresh sea urchin off one of the piers or the two young boys living their best lives as they fish off the dock. Summertime and the living’s easy!

Buzz goes the pager, and we’re seated on a two-top outside overlooking the harbor where we chow down on clam chowder, crab cakes, and grilled mahi mahi served with mango and papaya relish. It’s clear why this spot is so popular! The chowder and crab cakes

ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD The Santa Barbara Bowl is a terrific venue, and on July 20, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats delivered the goods.

are especially good. Another Lyft back to the inn sets us up for a nice food-comainduced midday nap before our Santa Barbara Bowl show at 7 p.m.

My wife and I love Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, and after the indie-pop opener, Lucius, the vintagesounding R&B band takes the stage and delivers a barnburner of a show. Later we discover our health app clocks us climbing 25-flights of steps. The Bowl is a workout!

We Lyft downtown to The Press Room,

a bar that reminds me of SLO’s own McCarthy’s Irish Pub, where we enjoy a nightcap before Lyfting back to the inn because I climbed 25 freaking flights, man!

Sunday, July 21, starts with another leisurely rise and shine, European buffet, Jacuzzi soak, and then we’re on the road home. Traffic is clear sailing, and we decide to stop in Buellton to try Industrial Eats, which friends have been raving about. Sure enough, the Cuban sando and

meatball and ricotta sando are the bomb!

Weirdly, we hit some ugly traffic coming into Santa Maria, and it’s stop-and-go until around Shell Beach. I tell my wife it’s teaching me the patience I’ll need when we drive to LA in August. As for Santa Barbara, there’re worse places SLO could turn into! Δ Glen Starkey is New Times’ senior staff writer. Contact him at gstarkey@ newtimesslo.com.

Or they just order one of the gourmet chipwrecks, which are already dressed up in herbs, cheeses, and drizzles.

“Which one is the most popular?” everyone then asks Paddack.

She laughs.

“I keep saying I’m just gonna get a big spinning wheel,” she said.

Everyone has their favorites, and for our tugboats, we go for the ranch, vegan garlic and herb, jalapeño popper, and brownie batter. The brownie batter never made it home. Paddack said that’s the one that people just eat straight out of the container.

She makes her chips from the Kennebec variety of potato—a large, hardy, oval culinary favorite—and she fries them in canola oil for a thick, crispy potato chip.

Paddack shops locally as much as she can to source ingredients.

Her ocean green/blue eyes squinted into a dimpled smile as she described her passion for creating seasonal menu items, including the next nautically themed dish, which may involve all those wonderful peaches piled up at the farmers’ market in these summer months.

“It is such a small town, and it’s such a good place to be because you have so many businesses that are family-owned and operated,” Paddack said. “A lot of times you’ll see the owners behind the counter.”

Contrary to its nautical sounding name, Chipwrecked is not a dark, dive-barfeeling sailor joint with cobwebby fishing nets and stuffed swordfish speared to the wall. It’s more clean and youthful than

“We just took him to the drivein the other night.”

that—like a coconut wax-scented surf shop with pirates. Paddack said the place used to be a Chinese restaurant, and a Mexican restaurant before that.

She loves the fact that she gets to meet visitors from all over the nation and even the world. And she said she feels good that the local regulars don’t let the full parking on Pomeroy sink their desire to fish for her chips.

Paddack is a numbers person. She graduated from Cal Poly with a degree in mathematics, which she said helps her run a business in all its many varied tasks. Though she had never worked

in a restaurant before owning one, she said she learned to cook from always being around her mother, Deborah Love (whose family has Southern roots). Love made everything from scratch, including homemade chips. Paddack said her mother, a person who just loves potato chips, is the one who gave her the chip restaurant idea in the first place.

“Oh my God, these are so good,” she said. “Let’s eat in here ... right now.”

The dad balanced a baby while managing an impressive chip-eating pace.

I know life is busy. I know it gets bloody crazy sometimes. So when I’m about to get food-lazy to keep up with my schedule, I summon the words of ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, who likened eating alone to “leading the life of a lion or wolf.”

I refuse to act like a lion! When I’m about to hit the road for a long drive, I try my very hardest not to stop at one of the various coffee drive-throughs along the way. I exit my car, walk up to the cutest cafe in the cutest downtown: Kitchenette in Templeton (obviously), and share my morning açaí bowl with other early risers. Kitchenette opens at 7 a.m. on weekdays. I know some patrons are into the Kitchenette’s roasted pork breakfast burrito or the croque-monsieur, but I think the açaí bowl is the perfect tropical summer breakfast dish before a road trip.

The refreshing bowl of sorbet-textured açaí, almond milk, sweet local honey, and house-made pepita (pumpkin seed) granola is aromatic and energizing. Plus, the cafe setting makes me feel like I’m not an anti-social rushy-rusher, slamming down food robotically in my car. I sit. I order. It comes up quick. I take my sips of cappuccino in a real ceramic cup, eat and savor every bite of my açaí bowl, glance at a few articles in the newspaper, and I’m out within 20 minutes.

Kitchenette, 105 S. Main St., Templeton, is open for breakfast 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The açaí bowl goes for $11. ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre doesn’t like to be a rushy-rusher. Send your favorite thing to nibble on to bgiuffre@newtimesslo.com.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): “Dear Diary: Last night my Aries friend dragged me to the Karaoke Bowling Alley and Sushi Bar. I was deeply skeptical. The place sounded tacky. But after being there for 20 minutes, I had to admit that I was having a fantastic time. And it just got better and more fun as the night wore on. I’m sure I made a fool of myself when I did my bowling ball imitation, but I can live with that. At one point I was juggling a bowling pin, a rather large piece of sweet potato tempura, and my own shoe while singing Led Zeppelin’s ‘Kashmir’—and I don’t even know how to juggle. I have to admit that this sequence of events was typical of my adventures with Aries folks. I suppose I should learn to trust that they will lead me to where I don’t know I want to go.”

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What’s the story of your life? Psychologist James Hillman said that in order to thrive, you need to develop a clear vision of that story. How do you do that?

Hillman advised you to ask yourself this question: “How can I assemble the pieces of my life into a coherent plot?” And why is this effort to decode your biography so important?

Because your soul’s health requires you to cultivate curiosity and excitement about the big picture of your destiny. If you hope to respond with intelligence to the questions and challenges that each new day brings, you must be steadily nourished with an expansive understanding of why you are here on earth. I bring these ideas to your attention, Libra, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to illuminate and deepen and embellish your conception of your life story.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In his poem “Wild Oats,” poet W. S. Merwin provided a message that’s in perfect alignment with your current astrological needs: “I needed my mistakes in their own order to get me here.” He was not being ironic in saying that; he was not making a lame attempt to excuse his errors; he was not struggling to make himself feel better for the inconvenience caused by his wrong turns. No! He understood that the apparent flubs and miscues he had committed were essential in creating his successful life. I invite you to reinterpret your own past using his perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Even if you’re an ambidextrous, multigendered, neurologically diverse, Phoenician-Romanian Gemini with a fetish for pink duct tape and an affinity for ideas that no one has ever thought of, you will eventually find your sweet spot, your power niche, and your dream sanctuary. I promise. Same for the rest of you Geminis, too. It might take a while. But I beg you to have faith that you will eventually tune in to the homing beacon of the mother lode that’s just right for you. P.S.: Important clues and signs should be arriving soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): What would a normal, boring astrologer tell you at a time like now? Maybe something like this: “More of other people’s money and resources can be at your disposal if you emanate sincerity and avoid being manipulative. If you want to negotiate vibrant compromises, pay extra attention to good timing and the right setting.

Devote special care and sensitivity to all matters affecting your close alliances and productive partnerships.” As you know, Cancerian, I’m not a normal, boring astrologer, so I wouldn’t typically say something like what I just said. But I felt it was my duty to do so because right now you need simple, basic, no-frills advice. I promise I’ll resume with my cryptic, lyrical oracles next time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide,” wrote psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. I think that description fits many people born under the sign of the Scorpio, not just Scorpio artists. Knowing how important and necessary this dilemma can be for you, I would never glibly advise you to always favor candid, straightforward communication over protective, strategic hiding. But I recommend you do that in the coming weeks. Being candid and straightforward will serve you well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian poet Aracelis Girmay writes, “How ramshackle, how brilliant, how haphazardly & strangely rendered we are. Gloriously, fantastically mixed & monstered. We exist as phantom, monster, miracle, each a theme park all one’s own.” Of course that’s always true about every one of us. But it will be extraordinarily true about you in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be at the peak of your ability to express what’s most idiosyncratic and essential about your unique array of talents and specialties.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometime soon I suspect you will arrive at a crossroads in your relationship with love and sex—as well as your fantasies about love and sex. In front of you: a hearty cosmic joke that would mutate your expectations and expand your savvy. Behind you: an alluring but perhaps confusing call toward an unknown future. To your left: the prospect of a dreamy adventure that might be only half-imaginary. To your right: the possibility of living out a slightly bent fairy tale version of romantic catharsis. I’m not here to tell you what you should do, Capricorn. My task is simply to help you identify the options.

LEO

AQUARIUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s check in with our psychic journalist, LoveMancer, who’s standing by with a live report from inside your imagination. What’s happening, LoveMancer? “Well, Rob, the enchanting creature on whose thoughts I’ve been eavesdropping has slipped into an intriguing frontier. This place seems to be a hot zone where love and healing interact intensely. My guess is that being here will lead our hero to breakthrough surges of love that result in deep healing, or deep healing that leads to breakthrough surges of love— probably both.”

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): How many handcuffs are there in the world? Millions. Yet there are far fewer different keys than that to open all those handcuffs. In fact, in many countries, there’s a standard universal key that works to open most handcuffs. In this spirit, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m designating August as Free Yourself from Your Metaphorical Handcuffs Month. It’s never as complicated or difficult as you might imagine to unlock your metaphorical handcuffs; and for the foreseeable future it will be even less complicated and difficult than usual for you.

VIRGO

PISCES

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo figure skater Scott Hamilton won an Olympic gold medal and four World Championships.

He was a star who got inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame and made a lot of money after he turned professional. “I calculated once how many times I fell during my skating career—41,600 times,” he testified in his autobiography. “But here’s the funny thing: I also got up 41,600 times. That’s the muscle you have to build in your psyche—the one that reminds you to just get up.” In accordance with current astrological omens, Virgo, I’ll be cheering you on as you strengthen that muscle in your psyche during the coming weeks.

(Feb. 19-March 20): People who sneak a gaze into your laboratory might be unnerved by what they see. You know and I know that your daring experiments are in service to the ultimate good, but that may not be obvious to those who understand you incompletely. So perhaps you should post a sign outside your lab that reads, “Please don’t leap to premature conclusions! My in-progress projects may seem inexplicable to the uninitiated!” Or maybe you should just close all your curtains and lock the door until your future handiwork is more presentable. P.S. There may be allies who can provide useful feedback about your explorations. I call them the wounded healers. ∆
