Cunningham proposes bill to keep pot off school grounds

FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

C

entral Coast Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-Templeton) introduced a second marijuana-related bill, one that he hopes will clarify the language of the voterapproved recreational cannabis law known as Proposition 64.

Cunningham said the proposed bill, AB 1090, would make it clear that marijuana and marijuana related products aren’t allowed on school grounds, even when there are no students or other children present.

“We are seeking to clarify the law so that it’s unambiguously clear that marijuana isn’t allowed on school grounds,” Cunningham told members of the California Senate Committee on Health on June 29.

As written, Proposition 64, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), prohibits individuals from possessing, smoking, or ingesting cannabis on the grounds of schools, day cares, or youth centers while children are present. According to Cunningham, the term “when youth are present” creates a loophole that might allow people to bring or use marijuana onto the premises at night or on the weekends, when the children are gone.

“The issue we are finding ... is sometimes marijuana, on the weekends, is left on school grounds,” Cunningham said. “And Monday, when the teachers show up for school and the kids show up for school, there’s paraphernalia and other things that are left behind.”

Cunningham’s proposed bill would amend AUMA’s language to specify that the possession, use, or consumption of marijuana

is prohibited on those sites regardless of whether children are present.

The bill would also amend AUMA’s language related to marijuana use and possession near such sites. The proposed bill would prohibit smoking, possessing, or using marijuana within 1,000 feet of schools, youth centers, and day cares, regardless of whether children are present.

OUT OF REACH State Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-Templeton) says a loophole in the Adult Use of Marijuana Act could “We need to be endanger California’s children. He’s hoping to close it with a proposed bill. unambiguously clear that marijuana does not “Racial disparities have historically plagued belong on school grounds,” Cunningham implementation of marijuana laws, and ACLU is stated in a June 29 press release. “This bill concerned this bill undermines the voter intent achieves this goal.” to decriminalize marijuana and makes it more The proposed bill will not change any criminal penalties related to violating AUMA’s likely that laws will target people of color,” the prohibitions.

Atascadero neighborhood accounting errors and a lack of transparency upset by city assessments and communication from the city.

Residents of Atascadero’s Las Lomas subdivision are scratching their heads at a recent City Council approval that nearly doubled their property assessments, lamenting

The Las Lomas assessment districts, formed by the city in 2005 when the neighborhood was developed, pay for services like road, drainage, landscaping, and lighting maintenance.

Property owners pay the assessments annually.

This year, homeowners’ streets and drainage bills are increasing 600 percent—from $52 to $300—to fund road repairs, while the landscaping/lighting assessment will increase from $250 to $275 despite the fund having a surplus. The Atascadero City Council voted 5-0 on June 13 to approve the increases. The city’s other two assessment districts—Apple Valley and De Anza Estates—received a minimal increase and no increase, respectively.

“We want to have roads maintained forever,” City Manager Rachelle Rickard said at a May 23 City Council meeting. “We want to have enough money in there to continually keep them up to date.”

But officials and residents are butting heads.

Colleen Annes, a Las Lomas homeowner, told New Times she and her neighbors recently discovered that the city overpaid the Las Lomas landscaping contractor by $11,000. Annes is seeking better care and accounting of the neighborhood’s money.

“My goal is to have transparency and accountability in the management of the Las Lomas assessment district,” said Annes, a retired military flight surgeon.

Rickard acknowledged that the city did make

an error on the payment to the landscaper, Madrone Landscape.

“Dr. Annes did find an error in the bid sheets for Madrone,” she said at the meeting. “We are currently working to try and resolve that issue, whether that is them refunding us money or providing other services in the future.”

In addition, some residents dispute the city’s intention to charge homeowners to fund multimillion-dollar road repairs that will be needed decades in the future.

“I’ll be dead by then,” one homeowner told the City Council on June 13.

Annes also pointed out language in the assessment reports that states the assessments “are not intended to fund major replacements or construction of the street surfaces.”

City officials contend that the assessments, while higher this year, are well below the maximum amount they’re allowed to charge.

Rickard said ultimately all the costs for road repairs in the neighborhood have to be borne by its residents.

“Those major resurfacings still need to be done, and they need to be done by the residents and not the city,” Rickard said.

Atascadero City Council members suggested to the property owners that they consider forming a homeowners’ association as a solution.

“I’m pretty sure we’d be amenable to that,” Councilmember Heather Moreno said.

Annes said she and her neighbors are in NEWS continued page 6

Cayucos contemplates options for high school students

As the Cayucos Elementary School District discusses where its high school students will go next, a fact sheet detailing the options was released to the public. But it lacks input from neighboring school districts, and at least one of the data points it contains is inaccurate.

Currently, after Cayucos kids have graduated from eighth grade, they do one of two things: get routed into Coast Union High School in Cambria or apply for an interdistrict transfer to Morro Bay High School.

“Every parent and child have their own reasons for that decision but a majority choose Morro Bay High because parents are heading in that direction to work and can drop off their student,” Cayucos district Superintendent Scott Smith said.

But parents are concerned that the closure of Diablo Canyon and San Luis Coastal Unified School District’s (SLCUSD) current budget cut discussions would make the SLCUSD re-evaluate its current policy on taking inter-district transfers, he said, so they asked Cayucos Elementary to look into all the potential routes for high school.

The district board tasked one member, Ron Wilson, with creating a document that explored three options: keeping things as they are with students going to Coast Union High School, creating a high school of its own and become a K-12 district, or disbanding altogether and unifying with SLCUSD. While the document looks into options with both Coast Unified School District and SLCUSD—and was posted on the Cayucos district’s website—neither of the other districts was consulted. The California Department of Education also was not consulted.

According to the district’s posted document, Cayucos Elementary School District spends $17,000 per K-8 student, while Coast Unified spends $16,700 per student and SLCUSD spends $12,000 per student. However, according to the California Department of Education, as of January 2017, Cayucos actually spends about $15,000, while Coast Unified spends $17,000 and SLCUSD $12,000.

The document also states that Cayucos is spending $200,000 per each high school student it sends to Coast Unified, while Cambria is only spending $14,400 per student.

Wilson said he used public documents from each district but chose not to reach out to either Coast Unified or SLCUSD because he didn’t want to create the impression that his district was making decisions before the options were presented to the public and the board.

Wilson said he arrived at his numbers by taking each district’s total interim budget per year and dividing it by the number of students enrolled.

“That’s the simplest way. Some people get in the weeds of it, but numbers have

VIEWER DISCRETION been changing as budgets have been updating so I’ll be looking at it again,” Wilson said. “I do want to make clear that I had two weeks to create this document and it doesn’t speak for the entire board or the district. … It’s just information to be discussed at the next meeting.”

Coast Unified Superintendent Vicki Schumacher said her district has not conducted any research into the statements made by Wilson in the document he created.

“Information in this attachment represents the opinions of one school board member in Cayucos Elementary School District,” Schumacher said.

SLCUSD Assistant Superintendent Ryan Pinkerton said his district had no part in making the document. He said all three districts are considered “basic aid,” so they don’t receive money from the state, rather they are funded through property taxes assessed on the properties within each district’s boundaries.

“One of the questions in our budget discussion will be whether we will continue to allow any students from outside our boundaries to attend our schools, since we do not receive funds for them,” Pinkerton said.

Cayucos Elementary School District will hold its next board meeting in September to discuss the information of its three options.

APCD working with Nipomo to address waste treatment odor

Dust from the Oceano Dunes isn’t the only issue giving SLO County air quality officials a headache in the county’s southern region.

The SLO County Air Pollution Control District is trying to work with officials from the Nipomo Community Services District to address complaints about a pungent odor emanating from the CSD’s Southland Wastewater Treatment Facility.

The stench has been called “ripe,” “strong,” and “earthy,” all apt descriptions for what could be more accurately, albeit crudely, described as the smell of feces.

The facility opened in 2014, and is operated by the Nipomo CSD. As part of the sewage treatment process, a partially treated biosolid “sludge” is pumped into large concrete beds to dry in the sun via evaporation before being hauled off to an offsite facility. APCD Officer Larry Allen said the process is usually very effective, but this year’s wet and rainy weather hampered the drying, leaving the sludge with a higher than usual water content and forcing the plant to mechanically mix the beds to help facilitate the evaporation.

“That process itself is what generates the odor,” Allen told members of the APCD’s board of directors at a June 21 meeting “because every time they turn it, a fresh batch of that stink comes out.”

The problem generated enough complaints that the APCD has already sent a warning letter to the CSD. Gary Willey, an engineering and compliance officer for the APCD, said the district was very close to taking formal action as a result of the ongoing stench.

“If we get more verified complaints, then a nuisance violation will be

6 • New Times • July 6 - July 13, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

issued, and they will be required to take action.”

Willey said.

Willey said that the CSD could be forced to make technical and mechanical upgrades to the plant to ensure the sludge was drier before it’s moved to the beds. To try and avoid formal action, the CSD is attempting to empty the concrete drying beds more quickly.

“They explained to us that they are trying to dry it out faster, and ship it out wetter,” Willey said.

By trying to speed up the process, the CSD hopes to have all the biosolid material out of the drying beds by mid-July.

Until then, nearby residents and drivers on Highway 101 will just have to hold their noses while airing out their grievances to their representatives on the APCD board.

“Some of you may be hearing from your constituents about this,” Allen told board members at the June 21 meeting.

Morro Bay gets an interim city manager

Currently living out of moving boxes while fresh coats of paint dry in his new Morro Bay home, Martin Lomeli settles in as a Morro Bay resident and the city’s new interim city manager.

Lomeli said his goals are to help the city continue with its two biggest projects, the water reclamation facility and the waterfront, and to fi nd its next permanent city manager.

“Morro Bay is a very diverse community with difficult projects ahead. The City Council is excellent and so is the staff, but I just want to help bring the cost down of these projects and help move them forward,” he said.

Lomeli was city manager for the city of La Verne for 23 years. He retired in 2010 but took interim city manager positions in the cities of Upland, La Puente, and Irwindale in the years following.

As interim city manager for Morro Bay, Lomeli will earn $76.92 per hour and is limited to working 960 hours in the next year.

He said he and his wife fell in love with the Central Coast, specifically Morro Bay, while they visited their daughter, who attended Cal Poly.

After spending a year looking for a home, Lomeli said he can now retire in the area with his wife.

“And then this opportunity came up, and I always have an invested interest in contributing into the community so I look forward to helping,” Lomeli said.

SLOPD’s Fourth of July featured a DUI crash and illegal fireworks The SLO Police Department had another busy Fourth of July in 2017.

Records show that the department’s officers spent the patriotic holiday responding to complaints of disorderly conduct, alcohol and noise violations, and reports of fireworks. The agency reported at least one major drunk-driving related car crash as well.

The crash occurred at 5:28 a.m. July 4 at the intersection of Buchon and High streets. Police said they responded to the scene of the accident and found one vehicle overturned and other vehicles parked on the street damaged. The driver of the overturned vehicle, identified as 25-yearold Peter Anacabe of SLO, was standing near the vehicle.

Anacabe was arrested after officers conducted a DUI investigation at the scene. No other individuals were involved or injured in the crash, according to police.

According to police logs, the SLO Police Department responded to at least three alcohol-related offenses between July 4 and 5, and were called out to respond to seven party and noise-related complaints during the same time period. Between July 3 and July 5, officers responded to 19 fireworksrelated calls for service; 16 occurred on the Fourth of July.

The city’s municipal code prohibits the storage, sale, possession, and use of fireworks within SLO, including the “safe and sane” fireworks allowed in some other cities in SLO County. Violations of that ordinance could result in a fine of up to $1,000 or a year in jail. This year, it appeared that few, if any, fireworks scofflaws in SLO will be paying that fine or doing jail time. SLO’s police logs showed that the police were unable to locate offenders on the majority of the fireworksrelated calls for service. Δ —Chris McGuinness

A Los Osos real estate broker is entangled in financial fraud allegations

I

n Los Osos, when building isn’t impossible, it’s at least complicated.

With a building moratorium in place since 1988 in part due to septic contamination of the groundwater, developers and real estate brokers have to get creative to make projects happen.

One strategy is to use the “septic credits” that already exist on properties to build.

Demolish an old building, and you can use that historical credit to build a new one.

Septic credits can be bought, sold, and even transferred from one parcel to another.

At times, that unique real estate landscape, with the complexities involved, can lead to failed projects and contract disputes.

The recent partnership between Los Osos real estate broker Jeff Edwards, of J.H. Edwards Company, and a Fresnobased developer, the Los Osos Investment Group, highlights the hazards involved— as demonstrated by a spree of lawsuits between the parties involved, and accusations of fraudulent conduct, negligence, and misrepresentation levied against Edwards by the California Bureau of Real Estate (BRE).

The Los Osos Investment Group, which purchased property on Pine Avenue and contracted with Edwards in 2013, is alleging to the BRE that Edwards deceived the group into believing their property contained fewer septic credits than it had— and then, that Edwards falsely sold one of its septic credits to a retired local doctor, according to the allegations documented in a BRE accusation.

Edwards, a frequent public speaker at government meetings who recently challenged SLO County’s denial of the Phillips 66 rail spur extension, faces civil allegations of unjust enrichment, fraud, and financial elder abuse in two lawsuits.

The California BRE is alleging nine causes for discipline against Edwards and his real estate license, after an investigation spurred by a complaint from the Los Osos Investment Group. The SLO County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that it’s also investigating Edwards.

Edwards denies any wrongdoing in the dispute, and says he earned ownership of a septic credit from the investors. He said he’s planning on filing a counter lawsuit.

“The majority of the assertions [in the BRE accusation] are simply not factual,” Edwards told New Times.

Credit confusion

In June 2013, the Los Osos Investment Group purchased property at 2150 Pine Ave., a site with several uninhabited, dilapidated homes across the street from Trinity United Methodist Church.

Edwards told New Times he’d watched the property deteriorate into an eyesore over the years, and he approached the investors with an idea that he thought would result in better profits and, ultimately, a public use for the Pine Avenue land.

“I approached them and suggested they look at a transfer development credit program,” Edwards said, “to pair development credits from this land with other lots [in Los Osos].” He added that eliminating development rights on the Pine

Avenue land would open up an opportunity for potential community use of the land.

In December 2013, Edwards signed a contract with the investment group, to locate “undeveloped lots suitable for construction of … single family home[s],” according to the contract.

But how many transferable building (septic) credits did the Pine Avenue property have that could be used to build elsewhere in the Los Osos “prohibition zone”?

In 2006, the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board granted approval for 10 septic credits on the Pine Avenue property for a previously proposed housing project, according to a 2006 letter from the water board. The project, led by a different owner, went belly up during the recession.

Edwards told the Los Osos Investment Group that he believed he could persuade the water board to approve five more septic credits on the land, for a total of 15 credits, according to both Edwards and the BRE accusation.

But Edwards wanted additional compensation from the investors for that work: If Edwards obtained one more credit from the water board, he wanted to buy it from the group for $50,000. If he obtained two or more, he wanted to receive one for free.

He estimated the market value of a septic credit at about $150,000, which he explained in a 2014 letter to the investors that he shared with New Times.

In a 2014 letter to the water board, which Edwards provided to New Times, he argued for the approval of 15 total septic credits, citing water consumption data on the property from prior years. In a May 2014 reply, the water board confirmed approval for a lower number: 12 total septic credits, two more than it approved in 2006.

But trust between the investors and Edwards started to fray.

The investment group grew suspicious that the Pine Avenue property contained more credits to begin with than initially believed, according to emails and a

subsequent phase [of the project].”

Black alleged to New Times that Edwards was aware of the property’s septic credit history and deceived the investors to “enrich himself.”

“There’s no way you could withhold information like that,” Black said. “He knew he could easily get those two credits back.”

Black also said that while the investors expressed “verbal” agreement with Edwards’ septic credit compensation terms, when Edwards sent him official contracts to ink the agreement, Black refused to sign them—an allegation repeated in the BRE accusation.

Edwards countered that the investors did formerly agree to the compensation terms and acknowledged his ownership of a septic credit on several occasions, including agreeing to loan Edwards $30,000 while using a septic credit owned

by Edwards as collateral.

Edwards told New Times he had no prior knowledge of Ochylski’s 2006 letter. He also denied other allegations levied by Black and the BRE, including that Edwards had attempted to buy the property prior and that he “re-wrote” Ochylski’s letter.

He maintains that he earned the credit by obtaining two extra septic credits from the water board.

“The only number of sewer credits that were associated with that property before I got involved was 10,” Edwards told New Times.

In August 2014, Edwards sold the disputed septic credit to Frederick Novy, a retired Morro Bay dermatologist, for $153,000 to build a new Los Osos bayfront home, according to the receipt of the sale.

According to the BRE, Novy paid for the septic credit in a series of checks: $70,350 in total to Edwards and his spouse and administrative assistant, Julie Tacker— checks Novy alleges in a lawsuit were cashed; $32,650 to the spouse of one of the investors to pay back Edwards’ loan; and $50,000 to the Los Osos Investment Group, a payment Edwards told New Times was

New Times interview with Scott Black, one of the partners with the Los Osos Investment Group.

Black said he found a 2006 letter to the water board written by the previous property owner’s attorney, Marshall Ochylski, who’s a current board member on the Los Osos Community Services District.

In the letter, Ochylski asked the water board to approve 10 septic credits, but suggested the property held more credits— at least 12 credits—based on the number of prior residents. The developer asked the water board to approve 10 septic credits at the time to “avoid a low income development requirement,” according to the BRE accusation.

“We are only requesting the approval of 10 [septic credits] at this time,” wrote Ochylski to the water board in 2006.

“Any historical equivalencies over that number would be applied to the

an attempt to resolve the credit dispute.

The latter two checks were returned to Novy by the investment group, with a note that it had “no interest in transferring a [septic credit] to Edwards,” according to the BRE accusation.

In January, Novy filed a lawsuit against Edwards, alleging breach of contract; deceit and intentional, promissory, concealment, and constructive fraud; and financial elder abuse.

According to Novy’s lawsuit, he discovered around June 2015 that “neither Edwards nor Tacker owned ... the credit in question.”

Neither Novy nor his attorney could be reached for comment.

The Bureau of Real Estate will present the accusations against Edwards at an Aug. 30 administrative hearing in Los Angeles. Δ Contact Staff Writer Peter Johnson at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Arroyo Grande permits its first medical marijuana delivery service and begins to tackle recreational use

D

evin Ward, an Arroyo Grande resident and ALS patient, holds up a small paper bag from Elite Care Enterprises, a mobile medical marijuana delivery service that operates in the area.

Cynthia Gonzalez, owner and operator for Elite Care, snapped the photo of Ward to commemorate a milestone for the company. It marked the very first legal delivery of medicinal cannabis to a patient under Arroyo Grande’s recently passed permitting process for mobile medical marijuana services in the city.

“I’m happy that people, not just myself, will finally be able to have legal access to medication that is our right to have,” Ward said.

Currently, Elite Care is the only delivery service in SLO County legally permitted to operate in Arroyo Grande under the city’s medical marijuana ordinance, which members of the City Council approved in June 2016. That ordinance banned most commercial medical marijuana land uses, like dispensaries and outdoor cultivation, but allowed personal indoor cultivation, and more importantly for homebound patients like Ward, allowed the city to issue up to three permits for mobile delivery businesses. Just six months prior to that vote, the council voted for a total ban on medical marijuana, including delivery services. Ward became a vocal opponent of the ban and began showing up to City Council meetings to push for changes.

“I feel vindicated,” he said. “I went to the city after their draconian measures eliminated all access to medical marijuana for me. They took me seriously, as they should have.”

According to city documents obtained

by New Times, at least five companies filled out the detailed applications for medical marijuana delivery permits.

After vetting the applications and conducting background checks, Arroyo Grande Interim Police Chief Beau Pryor, who has the final say on who is approved for a permit, chose Gonzalez’s company.

The department has yet to issue the other

two permits. At a June 27 City Council meeting, Pryor indicated that it was waiting to see how the initial permit pans out before issuing any others.

Speaking to New Times, Gonzalez characterized the application process as reasonable and praised the city, police department, and staff for their work on vetting her application.

“It was really a cohesive effort to get this thing done,” Gonzalez said. “It all was very seamless.”

With the privilege of being the city’s lone legitimate delivery service comes responsibility, as both the city and the police department will be watching to determine whether to expand its medical marijuana regulations in the future.

“We realize that Arroyo Grande is taking a conservative approach. They are expecting us to be good Samaritans and business people,” Gonzalez said.

“We are all going to be looked at to uphold the law and be good business leaders in the community.”

While the city cautiously dips its toe into the world of medical marijuana, it is already beginning to grapple with how to handle to impact of the state’s voter approved recreational marijuana law, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act or Proposition 64. The council spent several hours hashing out a general plan to develop regulations for recreational marijuana in the city at its June 27 meeting. The city hopes to have rules and regulations in place before many of Proposition 64’s provisions take effect in January 2018.

Arroyo Grande’s regulations and restrictions on recreational pot will likely be similar to those they crafted for medical cannabis. The council voted 5-0 to direct staff to begin drafting ordinances that would allow limited personal indoor cultivation but ban outdoor personal cultivation as well as commercial land uses for cultivation, manufacturing, testing, and brick-andmortar dispensaries.

doing, and see what the state is going to do,” said Councilmember Kristen Barneich. “This is all brand new.”

The council also gave direction to staff that the recreational marijuana ordinance should allow for mobile delivery services.

Based on the council’s discussion, recreational delivery services will have to go through the same application process to get a permit from the city as their medical-oriented peers. If the ordinance were passed as currently suggested, the number of allowable delivery permits would remain at three total, regardless of whether they are medical or recreational.

Even if the city limits the amount of permits it is willing to hand out, it doesn’t mean there will be less competition for the chosen companies.

Strokes&Plugs PHOTO COURTSEY OF PROJECT SURF CAMP

COMMUNITY Children with special needs can enjoy the Morro Bay waters with the help of Project Surf Camp.

BY KAREN GARCIA

Making waves A t 9 a.m., campers come together at Coleman Park on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay to be sized for a wetsuit. Once each camper is matched with the perfectly fitting suit, the group makes their way to Morro Rock Beach alongside instructors and volunteers.

After some instruction and tips on how to feel comfortable being on a surfboard within the water, campers are ready to take the waves in stride. The thing that makes these campers unique is that they wouldn’t be able to attend just any old surf camp.

“There’s a team of us that work with the campers and try to make sure they have a fantastic time in the water,” said John Taylor, the founder of Project Surf Camp.

Taylor, a local surfer and a special education teacher, realized that there were surf camps for kids but none that children with special needs could enjoy.

He became friends with the owners of the then Morro Bay Surf Company, which eventually closed its doors in the early 2000s. But before the company closed, Taylor formed Project Surf Camp in 2007 with the help of the surf company.

The mission of the camp is to help foster independence and social skills for the campers while providing a safe environment.

Celebrating its 10th year of ensuring that children with special needs enjoy the tumbling waters of Morro Bay comes with another special marker. The city of Morro Bay formalized its relationship with Project Surf Camp, but not before emotional testimony from parents and 27 letters of public comment commending the work of the camp.

Parents shared stories of their kids being able to enjoy getting into the ocean, a concept many believed would never happen.

“Parents are sitting on the beach and balling their eyes out because they can’t believe their kids are out there,” Taylor said.

The council unanimously voted to enter into a partnership agreement with Project Surf Camp, meaning the city will continue to waive park and open space fees for the camp.

“One of the key factors of forming a formal partnership with Morro Bay is that it really secures the longevity of the camp,” Taylor said.

Many parents talked about the patience and knowledge that Taylor and his team of volunteers and instructors has for their campers.

“It’s really something that I think for all of us just really refills our cup, and it’s super exciting and fun,” Taylor said.

For parents who are hesitant to bring their child to the camp, Taylor’s advice is to chat with other parents.

“We don’t advertise, and we’re mostly word of mouth, so chances are you’ll hear honest reviews and testimonials from other parents of past and current campers,” he said.

After a couple of hours in the water combined with happy parents and happy campers, it’s time for a meal—hot dogs and pizza.

“This isn’t something that I’ll be able to do forever, but I don’t ever want it to stop; I would only love to see it grow,” Taylor said.

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

Of folly and Fonzi Correcting the disingenuous arguments of climate change deniers is always a worthwhile task

A

fter New Times conservative columnist Al Fonzi unloaded on global climate change and the Paris Accord (“Hypocricy and climate hysteria,” June 8), his New Times sparring partner, Michael Latner, noted that he would decline the pleas of readers to refute Mr. Fonzi’s arguments. Latner opined that studies have shown that “additional facts will not cure Mr. Fonzi of his delusions,” (“The struggle continues,” June 15).

Welcome, frustrated New Times readers! What Mr. Latner won’t do, I will.

Here’s why: I don’t doubt that studies have shown what Latner says they have shown, but when Fonzi, Latner, and I set fingers to keyboards, we are engaged in the same enterprise: adducing arguments in support of our positions in order to persuade as many people as possible.

Persuading Mr. Fonzi is not the point.

If, as Mr. Latner has it, his co-pundit is making delusional claims, bristling with scientific citations, and the names of official arbiters of fact, that’s a problem.

Statistically, there have to be some folks out there who read Mr. Fonzi’s intimations that the International Panel on Climate Change now says that climate change is no big deal, and gratefully latch on to such claims. Doubt is sown. Inertia is assured. Mission accomplished.

of rapping the knuckles of rich people who, while arguing that climate change is real and a threat, live in big houses and avail themselves of current modes of transportation to get where they need to go.

Other than that, Fonzi claims: Media scream, “Rising sea levels will flood our cities,” but the data says sea level rise has been roughly consistent at about one-eighth of an inch per year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association.

Here’s what else NOAA says: “Global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent decades. In 2014, global sea level was 2.6 inches above the 1993 average—the highest annual average in the satellite record (1993-present) sea levels will likely rise for many centuries at rates higher than that of the current century. … Higher sea levels mean that deadly and destructive storm surges push farther inland than they once did, which also means more frequent nuisance flooding … estimated to be from 300 percent to 900 percent more frequent within U.S. coastal communities than it was just 50 years ago … . In urban settings, rising seas threaten infrastructure necessary for local jobs and regional industries. Roads, bridges, subways, water supplies, oil and gas wells, power plants, sewage treatment plants, landfills— virtually all human infrastructure—is at risk from sea level rise.”

In other words: Yes, Mr. Fonzi, rising

sea levels will flood our cities.

Fonzi claims: We’re told the polar ice caps are melting, but according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the East Antarctic ice sheet (two-thirds of the continent) is showing no discernable trend and the Western ice sheet and peninsula are losing mass.

Admitting that a large chunk of Antarctica is melting would not seem to be a great argument in support of Fonzi’s nothing-to-see-here position. But neither is the argument that the rest of the Antarctic is just fine. Jay Zwally, lead author of that study, told Nature: “I know some of the climate deniers will jump on

estimation methods but independent data from multiple measurement techniques all show the same thing, Antarctica is losing land ice as a whole, and these losses are accelerating quickly.”

Fonzi claims: … the data shows “little trend in the frequency” of strong-to-violent tornadoes, no trend in the frequency of tropical cyclones, frequency of hurricanes, or accumulated cyclone energy.

Per “Will Hurricanes Change as the World Warms?” accessible at NOAA’s climate.gov site, the apparent increasing number and frequency of such extreme weather events is probably due to our improving ability to find and measure them, but “that’s not to say that tropical cyclones have not changed due to human influences, nor that any changes in future tropical cyclones will not be attributable to our warming climate.”

And beyond that, Mr. Fonzi appears to have played fast and loose with the findings of the researchers at the International

It should not take away from the concern about climate warming.” Per skepticalscience.com, data shows that “the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is growing slightly over this period [1992-2011] but not enough to offset the other losses.

Atlantic hurricanes overall, wind speeds for the ones that do form will be about 4 percent stronger for every 1 degree Celsius increase in sea surface temperature.”

Fonzi claims: The International Panel on Climate Change has also reduced by half the projected increase in global temperatures.

Mr. Fonzi pulled this one from the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC: “The rate of warming of the observed global mean surface temperature over the period from 1998 to 2012 is estimated to be around one-third to one-half of the trend over the period from 1951 to 2012.”

But: “Even with this reduction in surface warming trend, the climate system has very likely continued to accumulate heat since 1998 and sea level has continued to rise.”

And the IPCC hasn’t felt a need to revise the conclusion of its Fifth Assessment Report: “Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have increased since the preindustrial era driven largely by economic and population growth. From 2000 to 2010 emissions were the highest in history. Historical emissions have driven atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide to levels that are unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years, leading to an uptake of energy by the climate system.”

With the current administration slashing science funding and ordering government websites to scrub words like “climate change” and “Paris accord,” climate deniers and doubters are feeling their Cheerios. Now is

But it is never folly to counter their bad stats and false arguments, because their clear goal is to persuade anyone who might be persuadable that nothing of consequence is occurring, there is no cause for concern, and nothing needs be done about climate change.

Dear Leonard ‘Idealism to a fault isn’t good for us’ Carpenter:

After FDR’s relentless acidic ridicule of Republicans and aggressive progressive policies were so successful that they knocked the GOP out of control of Congress for 40 years and Dwight Eisenhower had to run as a progressive just to get elected, we abandoned that course and began following Clinton and the “New Democrats,” who thought we should join Republicans in deregulating everything and conquering the planet in the name of Exxon.

Let’s review what has happened since: The middle class has shrunken steadily for 30 years, while the wealthy have taken more and more and more—to the extent that they’ve actually taken our democracy now.

We were lied into a war that murdered, maimed, or permanently displaced 5 million people and has resulted in endless chaos and loss. The entire global economy almost collapsed due to bipartisan bank and Wall Street deregulation. The planet is dying.

Democrats have lost both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, a thousand seats across the land, and Donald J. Trump is president.

If your answer to that is “stay the course! A thousand points of light!” you are the problem.

You chose two things to specifically attack: Public financing and single-payer health care. The former is the one thing that could fix this corruption; the latter is a politically popular way to cover everyone’s health care for much less money.

Leonard, please quit. You’re terrible at policy and worse at politics.

Shocking statistic about LGBTQ youth

I am writing regarding the shocking statistic in the June 29 New Times (advertisement on page 3) about LGBTQplus young people in San Luis Obispo County: 48 percent of them have seriously considered suicide!

Just before the end of the school year, we ended up protesting the heinous suggestion by SLO High School teacher Michael Stack that the Bible is 100 percent accurate that these people are “deserving of death.” The school came up with a 10-point list of areas to address, but we need to do more! These young people are our future, and they need to know they are valued members of our society, no matter what they might see on the news, hear from teachers, or see on social media.

The Central Coast Coalition for Inclusive Schools is already working on this, but we need to be sure we’re making a difference everywhere by encouraging all our young people to be accepting of themselves and others.

A clown leads the U.S. circus

Bob Cuddy’s opinion piece, “The T-word,” (June 29) was brilliant. Recently, I saw a bumper sticker that said, “Elect a clown, you get a circus.”

Hopefully, we will wake up to the real danger and damage these clowns and their ringmaster are inflicting upon us.

Also, a big hooray to the Shredder for his spot-on analysis of a summer without the Poly “wrecking crew.” Good riddance to bad rubbish and their frat boy machines, at least, for a few months. I will take the tourists any day!

Victoria Grostick San Luis Obispo

The 48 percent

It is difficult for me to conceive of 48 percent of all LGBTQ San Luis Obispo County middle school and high school students having seriously considering suicide at some point this year (compared to 14 percent of their heterosexual peers).

Thank you to Central Coast Coalition for Inclusive Schools for bringing this to our community’s attention through the fullpage ad on page 3 of your Pride edition (June 29). Let’s all figure out how we can join county Behavioral Health and CCC4IS in addressing this crisis, because “pride is not always a party for SLO County LGBTQ youth.”

The Tribune and Tom Fulks

What is it about this pairing? Since the Trib’s decision some months ago to “balance” conservative and liberal commentary between Andrea Seastrand and Tom Fulks, the Trib seems to have clearly favored the Pavlovian blather of the latter.

The contrast between Seastrand’s measured, calmly stated conservative views and Fulks’ unvarnished, flamethrowing “hate speak” couldn’t be more glaring. Can’t the Trib find a liberal writer who can make his or her points with just a little less venom?

His latest diatribe wherein he maligned every community in our county is a classic case in point. How do his two supporters on the Board of Supervisors feel about his open trashing of the very communities they purport to represent? Better yet, how do the voters of those towns tolerate their elected representatives associating with him?

Maybe “nasty” sells newspapers.

Perhaps the Trib enjoys that. But Fulks’ screaming vengeance against those he reviles doesn’t do much to further the type of civil discourse we truly need in today’s world.

So with its apparently declining readership, why does the Trib persist in hanging onto Fulks’ negativity while coddling his extremism? It must indeed be the last gasp of both of them to prove to themselves that “nasty sells”!

Tom, if you truly hate the Central Coast as much as it appears you do, it’s high time for you to realize that you have outlived your usefulness here. If there is really “something rotten in Happy Town,” you need only look in the mirror to find it.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AL FONZI

Faith, politics, and the founders

F

or the better part of 70 years, the courts, the media, educational institutions, and popular culture has steadfastly attempted to remove public pronouncements and displays of faith to the closet; at best, they insist that it be kept to oneself in the privacy of your home—like smoking.

That was not always the case. In fact, faith, especially the Christian faith, has been the centerpiece of American culture and politics since long before the American Revolution, in which Christians and Christian clergy played a major role. The Judeo-Christian traditions that brought the Pilgrims to America while fleeing religious persecution from Britain’s King James formed the foundations of the American Republic.

The Mayflower Compact, written to govern the Pilgrims as they approached the shores of the American continent, was drawn from principles laid down by men who had a deep understanding of the Bible and lived it in their daily lives. From that document, strong traditions of self-government developed among the colonists, and by the time King George III ruled England, colonial leaders were chafing at the king’s refusal to acknowledge their basic rights as

Englishmen and at his arbitrary rulings.

Faith governed the daily lives of most colonists and the center of village life was most often the local church and its clergy who assumed major leadership roles in local affairs. When the king interfered with the lives of local villagers, enforcing his edicts through appointees with no feeling for colonial tradition, resentment turned from friction to outright resistance.

Further aggravating the conflict was the king’s insistence that the colonists had no rights other than those he granted, a concept at complete odds with people who had governed themselves for 150 years, with little help from the crown and considering themselves the equal of any native-born Englishman. The king and his parliament saw the Americans as little more than serfs obliged to serve the interests of the crown.

Matters of faith created significant sources of conflict, for instance the king prohibited the printing of Englishlanguage Bibles in the colonies and overturned colonial policies affecting issues of morality by royal decree, such as slavery in the colonies.

The issue of slavery was a major issue among a majority of the colonies; they wanted to abolish the slave trade. The

colony of Pennsylvania actually abolished both the trade and the institution of slavery via their colonial legislature in 1774, two years before the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. King George overruled them, reinstating slavery as vital to the economic interests of the crown. During the “Age of Exploration,” the British Empire enslaved indigenous peoples and participated in the African slave trade to supply labor in their West Indian sugar-cane plantations, a mainstay of British international trade. The British Empire supported slavery, therefore the American colonies would be forced to continue the practice regardless of colonial objections on religious grounds.

When Thomas Jefferson authored the Declaration of Independence, his first draft presented to the Continental Congress abolished the slave trade.

Strong objections from delegations from South Carolina and Georgia forced this provision’s removal and a weaker reference placed within, setting up the new nation for two centuries of conflict. The Congress faced the British Empire, a military and economic superpower; there would be dire consequences for failure. Colonial unity was essential to achieve independence; the issue of slavery would have to wait for other generations to resolve.

But wasn’t the real issue among the colonists “taxation without representation”? At least, that’s what we’ve been taught in school since the 1920s when the “economic theory of history” was adopted by revisionist historians, excluding 135 years of education history

that included the deep religious factors of the American Revolution. Among the 27 issues listed in the Declaration of Independence for separation from Britain, “taxation without representation” was number 17. Before that were listed first and foremost, abuses of representative, military and judicial powers, issues of immigration and forced quartering of troops in private homes. The king had imported foreign mercenaries to suppress colonial protests: This and outrages against colonial women were at the top of colonial grievances. Crimes of murder and rape against colonists went unpunished as occupying troops were sheltered from colonial justice by British commanders.

During the Revolutionary War, American clergy played a major role, with pastor Peter Muhlenberg of Woodstock, Va., being a prime example.

On Jan. 21, 1776, after completing his sermon, Muhlenberg removed his clerical vestments, revealing the uniform of an officer in the Continental Army. He ordered drums to call recruits to the colors; 300 men of his congregation joined the revolution that day. British Gen. Gage, at the close of the war referred to Gen. Washington’s secret weapon, the “Black Robed Regiment” of American clergymen who played a major leadership role in the American fight for liberty. It wasn’t just about taxes.

The Shredder

Happy birthday, America!

B

ack when I was just a reckless teenage office machine, I learned the Declaration of Independence and other founding documents were written on hemp paper, and being an experimental teen, I immediately thought how rad it would be to roll up a big blunt and smoke the Declaration of Independence. So rad!

Of course, the hemp paper thing is a myth, and hemp doesn’t even get you high. Teen logic, amirite? It makes me feel a little better knowing that Betsy Ross sewed the first U.S. flag from hemp fibers, so there’s that.

All this comes to mind because the United States of America just turned 241 years old, and we celebrated our secession from Great Britain by saluting our Chinese-made flags, eating processed meat-like products, and drinking shitty beer made from GMO corn. Some of us in California also smoked legal weed. We’re the land of the free, after all!

Of course, not everyone agrees with our freedoms, and I’m not talking about ISIS, Russia, and North Korea. I’m talking about actual California municipalities that are having a hard time accepting that marijuana is now legal for recreational use.

State law from voter-approved Proposition 64 takes effect in January 2018, so cities such as Arroyo Grande are racing to create their own laws that will limit residents’ legal right to smoke doobies, eat pizzas, and watch Golden Girls marathons.

Don’t tread on me, Arroyo Grande!

Originally, AG didn’t allow legitimate medical marijuana patients any legal way to obtain their medicine, forbidding brick-and-mortar as well as mobile dispensaries. That meant patients had to either leave the area to fill their prescriptions or get weed the old fashioned way, on the black market.

Well, newly enlightened AG has finally allowed a mobile dispensary to deliver to city marijuana patients! God bless America! Let freedom ring!

So far Cynthia Gonzalez, owner and operator for Elite Care Enterprises, has been awarded the only license to operate, but AG says it could issue two more. Oh my! Three whole licenses? So progressive! But riddle me this, jokers: What about capitalism, competition, and the will of the people?

Think about it. Why should Arroyo Grande Interim Police Chief Beau Pryor have the final say on who is approved for a permit? What right does the city have to limit competition? If Rite-Aid wants to set up shop across from CVS, does the city get to say, “No way, man. We already have too many pharmacies?” Isn’t the whole idea of capitalism to allow markets to set prices and decide who survives based on business acumen and efficiency?

Now the City Council has begun to discuss how they’ll handle recreational cannabis, and early indications suggest

they’re going to handle it a lot like medical, meaning limited personal indoor cultivation, no outdoor personal or commercial cultivation, and no brick-and-mortar dispensaries. On top of that, they’re sticking to the three licenses idea for—get this!—both medical and recreational!

How is it that a city police chief gets to arbitrarily decide who gets to do business and who doesn’t? More importantly, how do they plan to enforce this nonsense?

At least one AG councilmember, Tim Brown, found the pretense of issuing licenses laughable.

“There were close to 30 or 40 that were already delivering to our town, so the whole thing was kind of silly,” Brown said. “I really question, in terms of staff time and effort and energy, whether we should be limiting three delivery services when we know that doesn’t happen now. It’s a complete farce.

Whether I like it or not, that’s the reality.”

Like Jurassic Park’s “life,” “capitalism” finds a way! That’s what a black market is all about! If you’re not going to let people do business legally, they’ll do it illegally. And isn’t legal better? Check out Flavor writer Hayley Thomas Cain’s story, “Dank dinner served!” on page 46, about a weed wedding, which hints at weed’s future.

As Le Festin Events owner Korinna Peterson said of the cannabis-centric nuptials, “Most of the people here are hoping that 2017 is the time when

cannabis is looked upon as nonchalantly as a drink at a bar. I’m hoping it can be fully integrated soon, safely, legally, and happily.”

To rephrase New Hampshire’s state motto, “Live free and high!”

Speaking of freedom of choice, the Cayucos Elementary School District is trying to figure out what to do about their lack of a high school: 1) do nothing and send high schoolers to Cambria’s Coast Union High or allow parents to request paperwork to send their kids to Morro Bay High; 2) build their own high school; or 3) dissolve their district and join the San Luis Coastal Unified School District, effectively sending kids to Morro Bay High.

Cayucos allowed board member Ron Wilson to create a “fact” sheet to help parents decide, except he forgot to check his facts or even get input from San Luis Coastal or Coast Unified. According to San Luis Coastal Assistant Superintendent Ryan Pinkerton and Coast Union Superintendent Victoria Schumacher, Wilson didn’t consult with them or even the state’s education website, which calls his “facts” into dispute. Community response letters claim Wilson’s document is full of “personal opinions” and is “not accurate.”

Thank goodness for freedom of speech. Let’s hope Ron’s kids weren’t homeschooled. Δ The Shredder loves freedom so much it wants to marry it. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Rivet art show explores work of women in the trades

U

pon having a newly minted theater degree pressed into her hand years ago, Hilary Peach realized she was missing one thing: a job.

Instead of turning to wait tables while waiting for her big break, the artist found her way into the world of welding in the 1990s. The seasonal work allowed her to be outside and to focus on her art for a good chunk of the year without worrying about money.

Since the late 1970s when President Jimmy Carter signed an executive order setting goals and timetables for contract work hours staffed by female workers, women have had a discernable presence in the industry. Yet it’s a sector still rife with sexism and misogyny. Looking to pay homage to women who work in the trades, while also creating a dialogue around the issues female workers face, Cuesta College’s Harold J. Miossi Gallery is currently displaying Rivet: An Exhibition on Women in the Trades through July 29, which includes the works of artists like Peach and others.

While the Canada-based Peach started in the creative world, she now combines her art with work, making sculptural pieces by welding; still her processes for work and art vary.

“It’s really a completely different experience,” Peach said.

“It’s like a different part of my brain is being used.”

One of her pieces, Heart of a Cowboy, features a steel tripod with a stone hanging from its center, which hails from the Rocky Mountains in Canada and was gifted to the artist by a friend. Another piece, Soft and Strong, giddily makes use of word play and features a welded toilet paper holder (complete with TP) affixed to a wall with a wrench hanging just below.

Boston mixed-media artist Susan Eisenberg’s work is also featured in the show and is inspired by her time working in construction to build structures like hotels and auto plants. Eisenberg was part of the first wave of women in the country to be trained to work a trade under Carter’s executive order.

According to Eisenberg, the number of women working in the trades currently hovers below 3 percent, a number similar to her early days in the industry.

After interviewing women who worked in the trades for her book, We’ll Call You If We Need You, Eisenberg was inspired to create a largerthan-life piece, Stella, to represent those voices. Stella is a three-dimensional figure busy at work in coveralls once worn on the job site by WORKING HARD The multi-media piece Stella came to be after her creator, complete with a artist Susan Eisenberg interviewed women in the trades about their diamond hard-hat atop her experiences for her book, We’ll Call You If We Need You. head.

Other women had to deal with inadequate bathrooms on the job site or being lied to about whether a circuit they were working on was live or dead, putting their lives at risk.

While the numbers remain low for women in the trades, their stories are rich and varied. Both Peach and Eisenberg hope advancements like high schools promoting work in the trades to young girls or developers requiring more diverse work forces on their sites will become more of the norm.

“It would make a huge difference,” Peach said. Δ Ryah Cooley loves a good DIY story at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

American Spirit art show tugs at threads of freedom

A

fter the final fireworks have gone off and the last hot dog and ’smore get scraped off the grill from the Fourth of July celebrations, consider extending that patriotic feeling by stopping by a local art show.

In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt gave his famous State of the Union address on the “four freedoms,” in which he outlined liberties that everyone should ideally enjoy, including freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

Looking to dig a little deeper than the stars and stripes, the Paso Robles Art Association took Roosevelt’s speech as inspiration for its latest art show, American Spirit, currently on display at Studios on the Park.

Ruta Saliklis, curator at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, stepped in to act as juror for the show.

“We should do more than have barbecues and watch fireworks,” Saliklis said of Independence Day. “It [the art show] takes it a little more seriously. If it just makes them think just for a second … .

IMAGE COURTESY OF THE PASO ROBLES ART ASSOCIATION Art has the power to make us respect one another.”

While artists tackled different aspects and interpretations of the “four freedoms,” two pieces in particular, by Lin Mercer and Janice Pluma, are different sides of the same coin when it comes to freedom from fear. In a post 2016 election world, fear is rampant. Fear of what the current administration will do. Fear of how those opposed to the political party in power might react to what they do.

Fear of saying who you voted for or what God you pray to, out loud. The fear is palpable.

But Mercer’s piece, Free, No Fear imagines a different world, a lighter world. Her acrylic painting shows several young girls laughing as they all attempt to do cartwheels and generally goof off and have fun in a field. The sun is shining, and these kids have nary a care in the world. It’s a feeling Mercer wishes everyone could experience right now.

“I was trying to find something that felt a little more loose,” Mercer said. She recounted some of the final words her father, who lived to be more than 100 years old, told her during his last days: “It’s most important to be happy.”

If Mercer’s piece shows us where we want to be, then Pluma’s is a stark, spellbinding DIVIDED Paso Robles artist Janice Pluma’s piece Dark Times is an emotional representation of exactly where depiction of our nation’s current political climate. we are. The abstract acrylic

painting Dark Times melds shades of black, white, and gray with hints of red. In the middle there’s a swirling collision, a struggle. You feel that if you only squinted a little harder, then maybe you could make out the different players and the casualties of this crash. At the top are words painted to mimic letters that look like they’ve been cut out from a magazine, saying simply, “Love One Another.” It feels uncomfortable, biblical, and apocalyptic all at once.

With everything going on right now in the country and the world, Pluma said she’s been trying to be a good citizen and keep up with current events. This effort began to take a toll on her, with each day seeming to bring something worse than before.

“I really started to get depressed,” Pluma said. “This piece was cathartic for me. It seemed ironic to me that we’re supposed to be caring for each other, but we manage to hurt other people.”

Pluma thinks of Dark Times as an emotional depiction of war, conflict, or the clashing of ideas that just can’t be reconciled. But aside from the confrontation in that piece, there’s also a quiet whisper to love one another as well.

“So much of the troubles come from people who are different,” Pluma said. “They are the ‘other.’ That becomes We’ve got an excuse for so much violence spirit that happens. I hope they American Spirit will be [viewers of the art] reach on display at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles through out to other people and try July 31.

BIRMINGHAM BOYS UB40 founding members—(left to right) Mickey Virtue, Ali Campbell, and Astro—play the Avila Beach Golf Resort on July 7.

Summer beach

party

I

t’s hard to believe UB40 has never played here before, but apparently their Friday, July 7, show at the Avila Beach Golf Resort is their Central Coast debut (doors at 5:30 p.m.; all ages; $37.59 to $90 tickets at Boo Boo Records or eventbright.com).

Best known for the Neil Diamond cover “Red Red Wine” (No. 1, 1988) and “Can’t Help Falling in Love” (No. 1, 1993), fi rst made famous by Elvis Presley, UB40 is one of the most successful reggae bands in the world.

They formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England, as a group of multi-racial layabouts whose band name came from the British unemployment form.

They began playing on instruments bought with money paid to guitaristsinger Ali Campbell from injuries sustained in a bar fight, and they were so bad they nearly quit, but by the end of a year, Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders had invited them to tour with her band.

They’ve charted more than 50 songs on the UK Singles Chart, earned multiple Top 10 Gold and Platinum selling albums, been nominated for Best Reggae Album Grammy four times, and in 1984 they were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. All told, they’ve sold more than 70 million records.

The original lineup included musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish, and Yemeni descent, and today the band contains three original members: Campbell, Astro, and Mickey Virtue, who have reunited once again to bring their show to Avila Beach.

Expect to hear hits such as “Food for Thought,” their version of Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe,” and more. Matisyahu and Ragin Fyah will open the show.

SHELLFISH MUSIC Australia’s Atlas Genius headlines the sixth annual Central Coast Oyster Festival on July 8, at Avila Beach Golf Resort.

32 • New Times • July 6 - July 13, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com

Strictly Starkey 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Seating is limited, so first come first served (all ages; free).

Shuck yeah!

The sixth annual Central Coast Oyster Festival is happening this Saturday, July 8, at the Avila Beach Golf Resort (noon to 8 p.m.; all ages; $25 general admission, $10 child admission, and $38 tasting tickets available at centralcoastoysterfest.com).

Australian alt-rock headliner Atlas Genius went from a little-known Aussie act to international stardom after their song “Trojans” was featured on the Neon Gold website, resulting in 45,000 downloads in the U.S. as well as several record label offers.

Formed by brothers Keith (vocals/ guitar), Steven (bass), and Michael Jeffery (drum), along with English friend Darren Sell (keyboards), they started as a cover band, using their earnings to build their own recording studio. By the time they signed to Warner Bros., they were a trio after Steven left the band. They recorded Inanimate Objects, their followup to their debut When It Was Now, in California, releasing it in 2015, meaning they’re just about due for another album, so expect some new material.

Other performers include Oaklandbased hip-hop collective the Zion I Crew, deep grooving reggae act El Dub, jam band The Alpine Camp, and local singer-songwriter Chad Land.

Bring your appetite!

Splish splash!

Hayley and the Crushers return to Sally Loo’s for the second annual Summer Crush Pool Party this Sunday, July 9 (6 to 9 p.m.; all ages; free). Like last year, the event features original art and set design by Neal Breton and begins with a DJ set by DJ Mano Gil, not to mention summer goodies such as gourmet cotton candy courtesy of Haute Sugar and delicious food and punch from Sally Loo’s.

“Pride in the Plaza is the same day from noon to 5:30,” Crushers front-diva Hayley “Crusher” Cain said in an email.

“Our bash will take place immediately after. We hope to support the local LGBTQ community with a suggested donation to 5 Cities Hope, a very new grassroots nonprofit that creates fun and safe events for this vibrant community in the Five Cities area.”

Bring some extra dough and pick up a copy of the Crushers’ debut album Jewel Case, a great collection of bobbing fun summer surf songs with a punk edge.

• Spayed and neutered animals live longer, healthier lives

Old wives tales exist about pets gaining weight after being fixed, or them not being as affectionate. Neither of these beliefs are true. Pets do not gain weight because they are fixed. Pets gain weight because of diet and lack of exercise. Pets that are spayed or neutered are just as affectionate after being fixed, as they were before.

Remember, it is a small one time cost that provides many benefits and can help avoid many expensive health issues.

AUSTIN BOYS The Band of Heathens play a special dinner show on July 11, at Paso’s Treana Tasting Cellars, for an intimate evening of Americana rock.

STARKEY from page 32

“The main spectacle is local artist’s Neal Breton’s new poolscape brought to life by plywood, paint, spray paint, and cardboard,” Hayley added. “Members of the band, local business owner Jenn Hix, and Neal are working together to create this artscape—which promises to be bigger and better this year. Prizes will be given for best Beach Goth and Beach Bunny, so attendees are encouraged to dress in their favorite summer garb.

Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, floatie toys, sunglasses, summer hats, board shorts, and even swimsuits are all encouraged!”

Heathens at the gate

Good Medicine Presents brings Austinbased Americana rockers The Band of Heathens back to the Central Coast for an intimate night of wine and a catered dinner on Tuesday, July 11, at Paso’s Treana Tasting Cellars (6:30 p.m.; all ages; $65 presale at ticketfly.com, or $75 at the door … if available; tickets are limited).

The band is touring in support of Duende, their fifth studio album, whose title means “1. a quality of inspiration and passion 2. a heightened sense of emotion, expression, and authenticity 3. a spirit,” according to the band’s bio.

As co-founder Ed Jurdi explained in press materials, “It’s the essence of the artist.” Or as bandmate Gordy Quist added, “It’s a word we don’t have an equivalent for in English. Artistically, that’s where we tried to set the bar, to do what this band does best.”

The band—Jurdi (guitar, keys, vocals), Quist (guitar, vocals), Trevor Nealon (keys, vocals), Richard Milsap (drums, vocals), and Scott Davis (bass, vocals)—have been at it since 2006, delivering everything from acoustic charmers to upbeat rock.

BLUEGRASS BIZ San Francisco-based blues and bluegrass band Dirty Cello plays the second annual Bluegrass, Blues, and Buffalos show on July 8, at Lazy Arrow Adventures.

On Duende, you can hear high-energy rockers such as “Trouble Came Early” and “Keys to the Kingdom,” or the pedal steel twang of “Green Grass of California”—“an ode to the more potent strains of sensimilla on the dispensary shelf and a fervent plea to ‘legalize it.’”

Songs explore everything from the sacrifices of life on the road (“All I’m Asking”) to materialism (“Keys to the Kingdom”), from social media (“Cracking the Code”) to Mexican immigration in an era of discrimination (“Road Dust Wheels”).

“While modern technology has certainly allowed us to stay in touch over vast distances—something a band that lives on the road certainly appreciates— it doesn’t really provide the authentic connection we crave,” Quist said. “We’ve created a portal through which we lose ourselves and miss what’s really going on right in front of us, hiding the fact that our supposed connected culture can be a really lonely place.”

Added Jurdi, “I feel the album brings together all our influences, everything we’ve done over the years as a band.

We’ve touched on every part of our career … our roots, some singer-songwriter contemplative stuff, [and] some highenergy rock ’n’ roll. It’s all us, the record we were supposed to make. Ten years later, that’s what keeps us coming back.”

Duende charted at No. 1 on Americana Radio list, with “All I’m Asking” now at No. 22 on the Triple-A charts. This is a great live act! If you’re looking for a night of good music, good wine, and good food, get your ticket before they sell out.

San Francisco-based blues and bluegrass band Dirty Cello will play the second annual Bluegrass, Blues, and Buffalos show on Saturday, July 8, at Santa Margarita’s Lazy Arrow Adventures (6 to 9 p.m.; all ages; $15 at brownpapertickets.com), located at Camatta Ranch, a 32,000-acre ranch with more than 250 exotic animals including buffalo, deer, wild fowl, Hungarian pigs, and zebras. Local rockabilly act the Bonneville Phantoms open the show.

Tickets includes lemonade, iced tea, and a grill if you want to barbecue. “You bring the meat, we’ll supply the heat!” organizers said.

Two singer-songwriters—Caleb Tesnow and Daniella Smith—play Linnaea’s Café this Saturday, July 8 (7 p.m.; all ages; free). “Caleb is a folk-rock singer-songwriter with an incredibly powerful story,” Smith wrote in an email.

“He spent over five years in the U.S. Army with two combat deployments, one in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. He’s now trying to musically spread awareness about the fear that controls the human experience, through thoughtful lyrics and energetic music and showmanship.” Of her own musical style, Smith added, “I’m an ultra mellow jazzy singer-songwriter passionate about the communication and connection tool that music is for people.”

The SLO County Jazz Federation presents the Dave Becker Sextet featuring acclaimed L.A. trombonist Kevin Hicks on Saturday, July 8, at the Unity Concert Hall (7 p.m.; all ages; $20 general admission, $15 for Jazz Fed members, or $10 for students, in advance at brownpapertickets.com or Boo Boo Records). The three-man front line— Becker (saxes), Bob Bennett (trumpet), and Hicks on (trombone)—will play straight-ahead jazz reminiscent of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. The group also includes Marshall Otwell (piano), Darrell Voss (drums), and Dylan Johnson (bass).

Santa Barbara-based original psych indie rock and blues outfit Afishnsea plays Frog and Peach this Saturday, July 8 (10 p.m.; 21-and-older; free), delivering “sounds that get people grooving,” according to the band.

Linnaea’s Café hosts soulfusion duo Jental & The HuzBand this Tuesday, July 11 (7 p.m.; all ages; free), playing originals and “and a twist on some of your favorites from the ’60s to today’s top charts,” the band said in press materials. Δ

riter-director Sofia Coppola (The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette) helms this Civil War-era story about a wounded Union soldier named Cpl. John McBurney (Colin Farrell), who’s taken in by head mistresses Miss Martha (Nicole Kidman) of a Virginia girls’ school.

However, after saving the enemy soldier, Miss Martha and her charges—Edwina (Kirsten Dunst), Alicia (Elle Fanning), Jane (Angourie Rice), Amy (Oona Laurence), and the other students—must confront sexual tensions, rivalries, and unexpected events. The film is based on Thomas Cullinan’s novel as well as Albert Maltz and Irene Kamp’s screenplay for the 1971 Clint Eastwood film of the same name. (93 min.)

Glen It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the 1971 original film, but I don’t remember it being as dark and brooding as Coppola’s new version, which is set to a slow simmer that gradually builds until finally boiling over in unexpected ways. It begins with young mushroom hunter Amy out in the wilds of Virginia, with the distant sounds of cannon and musket fire always in the background.

When she comes across the wounded McBurney, she’s startled but intrigued, which basically sums up the entire sevenmember population of the girls’ school.

BABY DRIVER What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy Writer-director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) helms this action crime film about a young, gifted driver (Ansel Elgort) who’s coerced into driving for Doc (Kevin Spacey), a criminal mastermind, eventually leading to a doomed heist that will take all Baby’s skills to escape from.

Imagine The Fast and Furious meets Footloose meets Wild at Heart and you’ll have an idea of the vibe of this engagingly fun crime romp. Baby suffers from tinnitus—a constant ringing in his ears brought on by a childhood car accident. To

Pick

Some, like Alicia and Jane, have clear distrust for the Northerner, while others like Edwina and Amy are fascinated to be in such close proximity to a man.

After some minor cajoling, Miss Martha is convinced that the “Christian” thing to do is to allow McBurney to recover from his wounds before contacting the Confederate soldiers and having him hauled off to a military prison. Sexual tension immediately brims over as Miss Martha and Edwina tend to McBurney’s badly damaged leg, and over the next several days as his condition improves, he begins to work his charms on the various women. It’s a quiet, one might even say slow, first third, but by the middle third, as McBurney tries to ingratiate himself by tending the garden and paying private compliments to the various girls and women, the rivalries begin to form as McBurney is invited to dine with the ladies. Catty exchanges about who’s trying harder to dress up and flirt ensue, setting up the final act for when things turn batshit crazy and betrayal and competition swirl throughout the household. It’s an interesting take on a story that probably didn’t need updating, but it’s still deft filmmaking from filmmaking royalty.

Anna The Beguiled is an atmospheric journey, relying on the tension built by its quiet and darkly moody feel to hold

our attention. Because it’s a slow burn, the film took a while to grab my interest, but by the time McBurney was mended enough to work his charms on the ladies, the hook had sunk in. Kidman as Miss Martha pulls out a wonderfully layered performance, and since Coppola had her in mind for the part while writing the screenplay, the role was practically built for her. Her charges are poised and proper, a reflection of Miss Martha herself. The sexual tension of a dashing, wounded man in the home is especially poisonous to the headmistress and her two eldest charges, Edwina and Alicia, and the catty, jealous insults start a rivalry guaranteed to boil over and burn the balance of the girls’ home to the ground. After an accident that leaves him once again immobile, McBurney soon starts to feel more prisoner than patient, and his instinct to escape has him crazed and angry. A seemingly sweet and proper group of girls have become his jailers, and Miss Martha—the shrewd and cruel warden—is holding his key to freedom.

I’ve never seen the 1971 film of the same name, but Coppola’s wicked and twisty take is unnerving and deliciously evil, despite a slow and quiet start to the film.

Glen The performances certainly make the film watchable. Kidman is excellent, playing Martha with a slavish adherence to decorum. When Edwina wears an off-the-shoulder dress to dinner, Miss Martha directs her to cover her shoulders with her shawl. Dunst’s Edwina is quiet and melancholy. She is of marrying age, but three years into a bloody war, all the available men have gone off to fight and die. Fanning’s Alicia is by far the most conniving, explained by her youth and her budding sexuality. McBurney’s attention is like a drug to her.

I’ve never been a big Farrell fan, but he plays McBurney effectively, coming off at first as a gentleman happy to be a prisoner and away from the fray, but soon it’s clear he’s a wolf in the hen house, offering each lady exactly what she needs to become enamored with him. Flirting with underage girls is never a good idea, however, and as his real character is revealed, his charms over the women

distract from the noise, he’s constantly got music playing through ear buds, choosing songs that are perfect for his task, whether that’s driving a getaway car from a heist or bopping through a neighborhood to grab coffee for the criminals Doc has gathered for the job.

Doc never uses the same crew twice, but he always uses Baby, who he’s extorting because Baby owes him money after he was caught trying to boost Doc’s car. It’s the whole “one more job and you’re out,” thing, but after Baby falls for the waitress Debora (Lily James), she becomes the fulcrum upon which Doc can apply pressure to force Baby to do “one more job,” this one for “real money.”

Spacey plays Doc with fatherly menace, acting as if he’s doing Baby a favor. The various criminals he teams together for the jobs are all different levels of crazy. Griff

(Jon Bernthal) is borderline psychotic and immediately hates Baby. The couple Buddy (Jon Hamm) and Darling (Eisa González) are lovebirds in love with each other and with the thrill of the crime. JD (Lanny Joon) is the least defined of the players, but Bats’ (Jamie Foxx) shtick is to be the craziest guy in the room.

Elgort’s Baby is a really interesting character. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, he sounds like a young Elvis Presley. Debora, a wide-eyed waif, dreams of hitting the road in a car she can’t afford, and Baby quickly becomes the man she wants to do it with. There’s also Baby’s foster father Joseph (CJ Jones), who’s deaf. Baby’s only interest is protecting Joseph and Debora, so even though he’s technically a criminal, we can’t help but sympathize since he’s being coerced into it and he’s a sweetheart among wolves.

fade. About the only character who doesn’t fall victim to his roguish charms is Jane, who Rice plays as distrustful and guarded.

Without these performances, Coppola’s Southern Gothic approach to direction, and her fine dialogue, the film might have bordered on boring, but instead it’s an insightful look at female sexuality at a time of extreme patriarchy. It’s definitely worth a look. If this was at a mainstream theater, I say it’s worth a matinee, but because The Palm is so reasonable, paying full price is a no brainer.

Anna I’m in the same boat as far as its worth—thankfully Jim Dee keeps his prices low and his popcorn butter real, so more movies can be enjoyed via the big screen, even if the film isn’t a mustsee. My eyes have glazed over after a few weeks of big summer blockbusters, so a return to the Palm’s cozy atmosphere and a movie with more going on than a bunch of CGI action was very welcome.

The Beguiled served up enough brooding tension and sexual energy to keep me attentive, and as the tautly pulled threads of McBurney’s sanity start to fray, the film pulled out the wicked payoff I was hoping for. While it isn’t my favorite of the director’s films, Coppola managed to create enough atmosphere and tension to ride through the more mundane moments of the film. Pair that with some pretty tight performances from the minimal cast and The Beguiled is a good film to see if you need a break from the overstimulation of the big summer movies. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

LOTHARIO Colin Farrell is Cpl. John McBurney, who, once ensconced in the girls’ school, begins to wield his charms on the women and girls there.

REVIEW SCORING FULL PRICE .... It’s worth the price of an evening show MATINEE ........ Save a few bucks, catch an afternoon show RENTAL .......... Rent it STREAMING.... Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time What makes it fun is that Baby may be young and inexperienced, but he’s got something about him that’s undeniably competent—much more competent than the scumbags he’s working with.

The film is mostly filled with amazing car chases, a foot chase just as exciting as the car chases, the aforementioned trip to gather coffee that plays like a music video, and a blisteringly good soundtrack.

It’s a pretty irresistible combination, though I have to say the beginning of the film is more fun than the end. Yes, it’s lightweight, but for some summer fun, I highly recommend it! (113 min.)

BEATRIZ AT DINNER What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full Price

Where’s it showing? The Palm, Stadium 10 Director Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl, Youth in Revolt, Cedar Rapids) directs screenwriter Mike White’s (The Good Girl, School of Rock, Nacho Libre) script about Beatriz (Salma Hayek), a holistic healer whose car breaks down, leading her to stay for a fancy dinner party at her wealthy clients Cathy (Connie Britton) and Grant’s (David Warshofsky) home. They’re gathered to celebrate the green light of a massive new shopping mall complex spearheaded by ruthless real estate tycoon Doug Strutt (John Lithgow), for whom Grant works. Other guests include Doug’s wife, Jeana (Amy Landecker), and Doug’s other employee, Alex (Jay Duplass), who was responsible for greasing the elected officials who OK’d the project, as well as Alex’s wife, Shannon (Chloë Sevigny).

Pick

The film explores the chasm that exists between the haves and the havenots, delineating the vastly different ways of thinking between conservatives and liberals. It’s painted in broad and somewhat clichéd strokes, but with Salma Hayek at one end of the spectrum and John Lithgow at the other, the performances transcend the film’s ham-fisted polemics.

Beatriz is highly empathetic, almost to the point of being constantly overwhelmed by the ills she sees in the world. Doug is bilious and boorish, believing the poor get exactly what they deserve.

The film unfolds in poetic ways, largely because of the depth of Hayek’s performance but also because of the way the filmmakers weave Beatriz’s backstory involving the loss of her town in Mexico MOVIES continued page 40

Arts MOVIES from page 38 due to cruel American hotel developers, her intense love of animals, and her earnest belief that positivity can heal.

She’s almost a saint, but Beatriz is also a fully realized character who struggles with her own feelings of impotence in the face of Doug Strutt’s ugly power. He represents everything she believes is wrong with the world, from his dismissal of the protestors who fight his projects, to his African big game hunting adventures, to his rejection of environmental concerns.

The other characters serve as various gradients along the Beatriz/Doug continuum, with Britton’s Cathy being the most liberal. She loves Beatriz because when Cathy’s daughter was sick with Hodgson’s Disease, Beatriz helped the girl through, but she represents how easily wealth and power corrupt. Cathy’s husband Grant is a sycophantic yes-man to Doug, as is Alex, who wants more than anything to ride Doug’s coattails into wealth and power. They have no moral compass. Doug’s wife, Jeana—his third—and Alex’s wife, Shannon, are more interested in the trappings of wealth but still like to pretend to have concern for others.

The awkward interactions between the various group members are priceless and wonderfully written, but also cringeworthy. There are laughs, but they’re the kind that get stuck in your throat. Tender moments abound. The film can certainly be accused of being didactic, but it’s more than mere liberal fantasy since Beatriz is a clearly flawed character. Still, it’s a beautiful story, wonderfully acted, and effectively executed by White and Arteta, who’ve proven themselves a solid team.

THE HOUSE What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Rental Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Bay, Park, Galaxy Written and directed by Andrew Jay Cohen) along with co-writer Brendan O’Brien (both worked together on Neighbors, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates) comes the slapstick comedy The House, starring Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell.

Is this the funniest movie these two comedy heavyweights have ever starred in? Nope. That being said, is this movie a better use of your time than the other dumb summer blockbusters? Yup! Here’s the breakdown: Suburban parents Kate (Poehler) and Scott (Ferrell) are jazzed when their daughter, Alex (Ryan Simpkins), wins a scholarship from the town to attend the ultra-fancy and expensive Bucknell University. But at the last minute the town, headed by City Councilman Bob (Nick Kroll) reneges on the promise, opting to build a pool instead.

The couple is also dealing with their friend Frank’s (Jason Mantzoukas) life crisis as he spirals after his wife leaves

him because of his gambling and porn addictions. So naturally Kate and Scott decide to go into business with Frank to run an illegal underground casino in his house to pay for Alex’s college tuition.

Hijinks ensue as the neighbors, bored with dreary suburban life, start to gamble away their money, get crazy drunk, and you know engage in some MMA style throw-downs.

I mean this movie is from the guys who brought you Neighbors. The logic of the real world doesn’t apply here and they lean heavy on the physical comedy, with one character’s fingers getting cut off, another getting lit on fire, and two ladies going at it in the ring until they’re both spewing blood. Oh and there’s like zero consequences to anyone’s crazy’s antics in the long term, but that’s par for the course with this kind of zany comedy.

The predictable hiccups arise, like the local government finding out about this little illegal gambling operation and trying to shut it down, but if you’ve seen one crazy comedy then you can likely guess how things pan out for Kate, Scott, and Alex. Poehler and Ferrell are an interesting combo, but she’s realistic as a parent/ normal human in a way that her co-star isn’t so it kind of works out. Mantzoukas, as a man on the edge with nothing left to lose as he tries to win back his wife and keep the bank from foreclosing on the house, is a wonderfully complex character

in a town filled with flatter personalities.

Cal State Long Beach (go Beach!) alumni like myself will enjoy spotting the campus in the film, in spite of the one Bucknell banner someone from set design bothered to throw up.

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Nothing Where’s it showing? Park, Stadium 10, Galaxy Director Michael Bay (Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Transformers) returns with this fifth— and hopefully final—installment of the bombastic series based on Hasbro toys about two Cybertronian races: the good Autobots and the evil Decepticons.

This time around, Autobots leader Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) learns his home planet, Cybertron, is dead, and that he’s responsible. He discovers he must recover an artifact from Earth in order to bring his planet back to life, but it will mean the end of Earth.

Meanwhile, Cybertronians on Earth— both Autobots and Decepticons—are being hunted and destroyed by the human-led Transformers Reaction Force (TRF), but Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) still believes the Autobots are a force for good, and he works to save them as well as give Optimus Prime a chance to do the right thing even though he’s fallen under the spell of his maker, the sorceress Quintessa.

For a guy who’s known for big, dumb spectacles, Michael Bay has really outdone himself. This is the biggest, dumbest spectacle of all—oppressive, incoherent, obnoxious, but worst of all, boring. If it wasn’t for all the intermittent explosions, I might have at least enjoyed a refreshing nap, but instead I was rocked from my slumber by one pyrotechnic display after another.

The film’s opening sequence takes us back to 484 AD, where King Arthur (Liam Garrigan) and his army are facing insurmountable odds in a pitched battle.

They’re waiting on Merlin (Stanley Tucci, who seems to be the only actor involved who realizes how silly the whole thing is), who has promised to arrive with a magic object that will win the war. It’s an alien staff Merlin receives from a Cybertronian whose ship crashed on Earth, where he’s remained stranded and in hiding.

Fast forward to the present, where some kids have ventured into a Chicago no-go zone patrolled by TRF mechanical soldiers trying to kill Cybertronians. The imperiled kids are saved by 14-year-old Izabella (Isabela Moner), who in turn joins forces with Cade to save the Autobots. It turns out that Cade is “the chosen one,” who receives a metallic talisman from a dying Cybertronian named Steelbane.

Wow, this really sounds absurd, and it is. The rest of the film is Cade, Izabella, random hot chick Vivian Wembly (Laura Haddock), upper crust British gentleman with all the answers Sir Edmund Burton (Anthony Hopkins), TRF commander who “gets” that the Autobots are good Colonel William Lennox (Josh Duhamel), and Transformers such as Bumblebee (voiced Erik Aadahl) and Hound (voiced

by John Goodman) trying to save Earth from destruction as the planet Cybertron comes closer and closer to Earth, because apparently the laws of physics are not a thing in Transformers World.

Let’s be honest: It’s not like any of the previous four Bay-directed Transformers films have been good, but at least the first one—Transformers (2007)—was a bit more coherent and fun, plus it introduced Megan Fox to a sea of fan boys. She and Shia LaBeouf reteamed for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), but they couldn’t create the same semi-magic of the first. It’s been downhill after that.

In Transformers: Dark of the Moon

(2011), Fox was jettisoned for vapid blonde “it” girl Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and the goings-on headed in part to Earth’s moon, increasing the dumbness to new heights. Mark Wahlberg joined the fray in Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), a title I hoped spelled the end of the tiresome series, but Bay has proven time and time again that he can milk a bellowing CGI mechanical dead cow.

Review site Rotten Tomatoes is a pretty good indicator of how the franchise has slowly slid into irrelevance. The first had a 57 critic and 85 audience score, the second a 19 critic and 57 audience score, the third a 35 critic and 55 audience score, the fourth an 18 critic and 51 audience score, and this fifth one, a pathetic 15 critic and 56 audience score. If only around 50 percent of the audience likes these films, why do they keep going back for more?

Stop encouraging Bay with your movie dollars! Sheesh! (149 min.)

WONDER WOMAN What’s it rated? PG What’s it worth? Full Price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy Patty Jenkins (writer-director of Monster) directs this origin story of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), who was raised as Diana, an Amazon princess trained as an unbeatable warrior on a remote island. When an American pilot named Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes in the waters off her home, Diana learns of a world war waging in the outside world and agrees to accompany Steve, determined to fulfill her destiny.

Gadot is basically perfect for the role.

The 5-foot-10 Israeli model, actress, and martial artist served in the Israeli Defense Forces for two years and won the Miss Israel title in 2004. Like Diana/Wonder Woman, she’s beautiful and fierce.

The film actually opens in present day when we see that Bruce Wayne had delivered an old photograph to Diana of her with her comrades Steve, Sameer (Saïd Taghmaoui), Charlie (Ewen Bremner), and The Chief (Eugene Brave Rock) taken during World War I, which leads to an extended flashback of her protected childhood, her eventual warrior training, her saving of Steve, and her first foray into saving the world.

It’s a pretty engrossing story—earnest, with doses of humor and gripping action sequences. It also tees up the next two DC Comics films Justice League, which is currently in post-production, and Justice League Part Two, which has been announced but hasn’t started filming.

I have a feeling Wonder Woman and Gadot are finally going to give Marvel Comics a run for its money at the box office. This was a ripping good yarn!

One of the film’s more interesting angles is Diana’s belief that if she can just kill Ares, the God of War (played by an unexpected actor), he’ll no longer have the power to poison men’s hearts and war will cease, which is why she’s so determined to find and destroy him.

General Lundendorff (Danny Huston) and his chemist underling Dr. Maru (Elena Anaya) certainly seem to be the manifestation of Ares, but the mythology that Diana believes controls the world of men is far too simplistic she learns.

She’s a deeply empathic person who can’t stand to see injustice and refuses to turn away when she sees it. The original plan was for Trevor to take her and his team around the trench warfare of no man’s land and infiltrate the enemy on its flank, destroying Lundendorff’s chemical weapons stockpile, but in the film’s central rousing set piece, Diana instead heads straight for the enemy, braving German machinegun nests, mortars, and tanks. The sequence is proof that you don’t need to be a man to stage an amazing cinematic battle, and hopefully it will land director Jenkins more big-budget jobs. Since writing and directing Monster, she’s been largely relegated to directing TV series episodes and made-for-TV movies.

Hats off to DC, Warner Bros., and the producers of Wonder Woman for turning over the reins of this feminist story to someone with the smarts and the knowhow to give Wonder Woman the film she deserves. (141 min.) Δ —Glen Starkey

T

he first Sunday of each month brings arts, crafts, and food vendors together in Shell Beach for Art in the Park at Dinosaur Caves, held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s a sunny July 2, and I arrive at the park at about the halfway mark. There still seems to be a good showing of people, some of whom congregate in the grass outside the main event throwing a football or hanging out with their dogs, while others browse the lineup of more than 75 vendors.

As I’m making my way from booth to booth, I hear a sort of wooden, clicking sound and follow the noise over to Mr. Cassidy’s Gifts, where an assortment of wooden noisemaker toys are available.

There are brightly colored frogs in a variety of finishes, as well as dolphins, crickets, and more, each one accompanied with a dowel that can be run along a series of notches on the back of the toy to create a sort of croaking or clicking sound. Also in the business of animalrelated art, artist Dennis “Bart” Theiler has his shop set up with a variety of creatures painted on driftwood. Many bird species are featured in Theiler’s realistic pieces, as well as marine and land mammals.

Painter Tyler Carmos is also in attendance with a variety of oceanic paintings for sale. Sea creatures, pirates, and mermaids are all featured in his fun and vibrant paintings, some of

which include the addition of a threedimensional element—like a barnacle, shell, or rock—added to the scene.

Not too far from Carmos is artist E.T. McSparron, whose attire is appropriately artful with vivid colors and patchwork designs. He sells his portraits and other framed paintings.

Art may be the main spectacle, but a variety of food vendors are also on hand, some of which offer free samples. I make a stop at a stand by La Bella Olives and Gourmet Foods, which has an assortment of preserves on display from Aloha from Oregon, like apricot-jalapeño pepper jelly and cranberry butter with port. I opt to try the balsamic cherry habanero pepper jelly, which lives up to its name with its strong cherry flavor and habanero heat.

Other food vendors are selling kettle corn, cups of fruit with chili powder, hot dogs, fried corn kernels, and more. I decided to finish things off with an order of pad see ew from Sister Kitchen, which is onsite offering vegetarian versions of some of their signature Thai dishes.

You can stop by the next Art in the Park at Dinosaur Caves on Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Δ

Bud, brides, and the budding future of edible events

I

’m at an undisclosed location nestled off a dirt road atop a hillside across the way from the SLO airport. With a quaint yellow farmhouse, rolling green lawn, and epic sunset view, the setting feels very much “the Central Coast wedding venue.”

On this evening, everything is decked out like a bride’s dream Pinterest board: A two-tiered wedding cake flanked by antique oil lamps stands below an oak tree; Table settings glimmer with rosecolored stemware; and big, bodacious floral displays bloom from every corner.

However, all you have to do is smell those flowers to experience a subtle reveal: Tucked between the delicate yellow roses in these romantic bridal bouquets, you’ll find a dark green flowering herb with narrow leaves and a pungent aroma.

Yep. This is a weed wedding.

There is no Bob Marley thumping over the stereo or hacky sack party favors.

This is a swank cannabis wedding industry event unlike anything that’s ever been put together in San Luis Obispo County—perhaps even the entire Central Coast.

“Everyone’s been to a wedding where there’s a few people huddled in the corner smoking,” said event organizer Korinna Peterson, owner of Le Festin Events.

“We really want to normalize the use of cannabis at events like this, and Prop. 64 allows us to do that.”

“Normalize” is certainly the word on everyone’s lips tonight, and professionalism is the name of the game.

Here, the bar isn’t serving up mason jar mojitos: They’re mixing equally classy cannabis-infused sparkling water with blood orange syrup. Good Tides Bistro isn’t simply plating bites of pasta salad and asparagus laden flatbread: These literal munchies are infused with THC (the natural chemical found in cannabis that that gets you “high”) and CBD (a non psychoactive alternative that relaxes your body and promotes feel-good vibes).

Nearby, you’ll even find a “bud-tender” offering up a rainbow of smoking options, as evidenced by weed-filled jars with labels like “Blue Dream” and “San Fernando Valley OG.” These “budtenders,” Megan Souza and Eric Powers, started their online biz Megan’s Organic Market in 2013 in an

Eventually, the party slows down as folks grab their goodie bags containing cannabis-infused finishing salts courtesy of Good Tides and a chocolate marshmallow treat from Megan’s Organic Market.

One by one, they head off into the night, not worried about a hangover.

Good point, but there are side effects.

HIGH SPIRITS THC-infused sparkling water mixed with blood orange juice feels a lot like your typical cocktail in your hand, but it should be consumed differently than alcohol. Pictured, Amanda Valena of Megan’s Organic Market.

FLAVOR from page 48

Souza suggests curious edible newbies start small. Throw a dinner party and serve up something fun, easy, and relatively foolproof. She holds up a tin of chocolate covered blueberries sold on the business’s online store. At 5 milligrams of THC per berry, it’s easy to dose (and we all know why that’s important).

Sure, feeding your friends and family edible cannabis creations can add an interesting twist to your next soiree or event, but overdoing it can lead to disaster.

Do I even need to say that these potent snacks should not be stored anywhere a child could get their hands on them?

“When it comes to smoking, people can usually pace themselves, as the effect is very quick. With edibles it’s a little different,” Souza says. “It’s important to be educated and stick with good products you can trust.”

Attendee Missy Reitner-Cameron is spending her tokens happily. She says she remembers a day not too long ago when a single “mystery brownie” could really mess you up if you weren’t careful. She agrees: Information is power.

“Edibles have become very scientific and far more precise. People are more educated in what they’re growing,” she says. “They can tell me, ‘This has 3 grams of TCH in it,’ and I know exactly how that will effect me.”

While cities like San Francisco are already home to cannabis foodie events filled with gourmet, multi-course feasts, sushi and joint rolling classes, and wine and cannabis pairings, San Luis Obispo is just dipping its toe into the possibilities.

Just ask event organizer Peterson.

Sure, a host of lawyers were consulted to even put on this event, but with the new laws on the books, it’s an open frontier.

She addresses the relaxed crowd with some optimistic words.

“Most of the people here are hoping that 2017 is the time when cannabis is looked upon as nonchalantly a drink at a bar,” she says. “I am hoping it can be fully integrated soon, safely,

H AYLEY’S P ICKS Boggle and small bites at Sally Loo’s new wine bar

When I think of Sally Loo’s Wholesome Cafe, one of SLO’s first and most cherished third wave coffee joints, I think of three words: Local. Creative. Playful.

From the array of bold art that moves across the walls throughout the year to the butcher paper scrawled with super seasonal brunch specials topped with produce from area farms, this cheery hangout tucked away on Osos Street has always screamed modern-coffee-shopmeets-eclectic grandma’s house (of course, I am looking at all you “cool grandmas” out there).

“Wholesome” is right there in the name, and the food is exactly that: good for your soul, good for the environment, and extremely fun to eat. Last week, I saw a slightly more sophisticated side of Sally Loo’s, when I attended a soft opening for the cafe’s new wine bar hours. The experience still felt totally funky and handcrafted, but the small plates and drinks menu (served Wednesday through Sunday from 5 to 10 p.m. with happy hour 5 to 6 p.m.) was decidedly hipper, more adult. Local wines (Opolo, Hearst Ranch, Pomar Junction), a host of craft beers, and dry hard ciders replaced the ubiquitous lattes, açai bowls, and waffles. Table service and tabletop candles transformed the experience into more than a snack, although the prices are fun-sized. Now, you can stop in after work and grab a proper nosh, like their heirloom tomato stack with pesto and crispy prosciutto (highly recommend), stuffed dates to share, or even a trio of chocolate truffles dusted with orange zest. I nibbled on an epic cheese plate with delicious dairy and honeycomb sourced from local Stepladder Creamery, admiring the twinkle lights overhead.

With live music on Friday nights, art happenings unfolding monthly, and that signature brown butcher paper still lining the tables (perfect for drawing dogs and mermaids), this is still the Sally Loo’s of laptops, giggling kids, and espresso shots.

However, their new wine bar hours have struck a balance between coffee shop and white tablecloth: Think of this new offering as a respite from the thumping, rowdy college bars as well as an alternative to too-serious, too-fussy fine dining. Case in point: I was able to enjoy a glass of Field Recordings rosé while partaking in a goofy impromptu Boggle tournament with some new friends. If that’s not what this whole experiment is all about, I don’t know what is. Eat wholesome, but don’t grow up. It’s a trap! Δ Hayley Thomas Cain sucks at Boggle, but she’s always looking for juicy bites to share!

The Petition for Probate requests that DENNIS GUY GALLO be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: September 19, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm Street, Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What was the pain that healed you most? What was the pleasure that hurt you the worst? Testify at freewillastrology.com.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unless you were raised by a pack of feral raccoons or a fundamentalist cult, now is a perfect time to dive in to your second childhood. Is there a toy you wanted as a kid but never got? Buy it for yourself now! What were the delicious foods you craved back then? Eat them! Where were the special places you loved? Go there, or to spots that remind you of them. Who were the people you were excited to be with? Talk with them. Actions like these will get you geared up for a full-scale immersion in innocent eagerness.

And that would be just the right medicine for your soul.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What I wish for you, Taurus, is toasted ice cream and secrets in plain sight and a sacred twist of humorous purity. I would love for you to experience a powerful surrender and a calm climax and a sweeping vision of a small but pithy clue. I very much hope that you will get to take a big trip to an intimate turning point that’s not too far away. I pray you will find or create a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart.

(May 21-June 20): In Dr. Seuss’s book, Horton Hatches an Egg, an elephant assumes the duty of sitting on a bird’s egg, committed to keeping it warm until hatching time. The nest is located high in a tree, which makes the undertaking even more incongruous. By the climax of the tale, Horton has had to persist in his loyal service through a number of challenges.

But all ends well, and there’s an added bonus: The creature that’s born is miraculously part-bird, part-elephant. I see similarities between this story and your life right now, Gemini. The duty you’re carrying out doesn’t come naturally, and you’re not even sure you’re doing it right. But if you keep at it till it’s completed, you’ll earn a surprising reward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s prime time for you to break through any inhibitions you might have about accessing and expressing your passion. To help you in this righteous cause, I’ve assembled a batch of words you should be ready to use with frequency and sweet abandon. Consider writing at least part of this list on your forearm with a felt-tip pen every morning so it’s always close at hand: enamored, piqued, enchanted, stirred, roused, enthused, delighted, animated, elevated, thrilled, captivated, turned-on, enthralled, exuberant, fired up, awakened.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Matt Groening, creator of the cartoon series The Simpsons, says that a great turning point in his early years came when his scoutmaster told him he was the worst Boy Scout in history. While this might have demoralized other teenagers, it energized Groening. “Well, somebody’s got to be the worst,” he triumphantly told the scoutmaster. And then, “instead of the earth opening up and swallowing me, instead of the flames of hell fire licking at my knees—nothing happened. And I was free.” I suspect you may soon be blessed with a comparable liberation, Leo. Maybe you’ll be released from having to live up to an expectation you shouldn’t even live up to. Or maybe you’ll be criticized in a way that will motivate your drive for excellence for years to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Nineteen of my readers who work in the advertising industry signed a petition requesting that I stop badmouthing their field. “Without advertising,” they testified, “life itself would be impossible.” In response, I agreed to attend their re-education seminar. There, under their tutelage, I came to acknowledge that everything we do can be construed as a kind of advertising. Each of us is engaged in a mostly unconscious campaign to promote our unique way of looking at and being in the world. Realizing the truth, I now feel no reservations about urging you Virgos to take advantage of the current astrological omens. They suggest that you can and should be aggressive and ingenious about marketing yourself, your ideas, and your products.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 2003, the American Film Institute announced the creation of a new prize to honor acting talent. Dubbed the Charlton Heston Award, it was designed to be handed out periodically to luminaries who have distinguished themselves over the course of long careers.

The first recipient of the award was, oddly enough, Charlton Heston himself, born under the sign of Libra. I hope you’re inspired by this story to wipe away any false modesty you might be suffering from. The astrological omens suggest it’s a favorable moment to create a big new award named after you and bestow it upon yourself. As part of the festivities, tell yourself about what makes you special, amazing, and valuable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here’s your riddle: What unscratchable itch drives you half-crazy? But you’re secretly glad it drives you half-crazy, because you know your half-craziness will eventually lead you to an experience or resource that will relieve the itch. Here’s your prophecy: Sometime soon, scratching the unscratchable itch will lead you to the experience or resource that will finally relieve the itch.

Here’s your homework: Prepare yourself emotionally to fully receive and welcome the new experience or resource.

Make sure you’re not so addicted to scratching the unscratchable itch that you fail to take advantage of the healing it’s bringing you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The best way to go forward is to go backward; the path to the bright future requires a shadowy regression. Put another way, you should return to the roots of a triumph in order to find a hidden flaw that might eventually threaten to undo your success. Correct that flaw now and you’ll make it unnecessary for karmic repercussions to undermine you later. But please don’t get all solemnfaced and anxious about this assignment. Approach it with humorous self-correction and you’ll ensure that all goes well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you familiar with the psychological concepts of anima and animus? You’re in the midst of being intoxicated by one of those creatures from inner space.

Though you may not be fully conscious of it, you women are experiencing a mystical marriage with an imaginal character that personifies all that’s masculine in your psyche. You men are going through the analogous process with a female figure within you. I believe this is true no matter what your sexual orientation is. While this awesome psychological event may be fun, educational, and even ecstatic, it could also be confusing to your relationships with real people. Don’t expect them to act like or live up to the very real fantasy you’re communing with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As a recovering save-the-world addict, I have felt compassionate skepticism toward my fellow junkies who are still in the throes of their obsession. But recently I’ve discovered that just as a small minority of alcoholics can safely take a drink now and then, so can a few save-the-world-aholics actually save the world a little bit at a time without getting strung-out. With that as a disclaimer, Aquarius, I’m letting you know that the cosmos has authorized you to pursue your own brand of fanatical idealism in the coming weeks. To keep yourself honest, make fun of your zealotry every now and then.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The potential breakthrough I foresee for you is a rare species of joy. It’s a gritty, hard-earned pleasure that will spawn beautiful questions you’ll be glad to have awakened. It’s a surprising departure from your usual approach to feeling good that will expand your understanding of what happiness means. Here’s one way to ensure that it will visit you in all of its glory: Situate yourself between the fabulous contradictions in your life and say, “Squeeze me, tease me, please me.” Δ
