Opioids blamed for increase in SLO County HIV and hep. C cases
A
GRAPHIC COURTESY OF SLO COUNTY
recent increase in HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C cases in SLO County is connected to opioid use, according to county Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein, who spoke to the Board of Supervisors about the volunteer-run syringe exchange program on Jan. 15. “With the opioid epidemic … we are beginning to see a ticking up of hepatitis and HIV infections as an outcome [due to] the increase of injection drug use,” she said. An increase in opioid addiction across the U.S. has driven up rates of intravenous drug use, corresponding with a rise in blood-borne infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In her presentation, Borenstein noted that 25 percent of the 385 individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in SLO County reported intravenous drug use. Data included in the presentation also showed that cases of chronic and acute hepatitis C in the county’s non-incarcerated population increased from less than 250 in 2016 to nearly 300 in 2017. Despite concerns about the increases, there were positive signs that the syringe exchange program, which started in 2006, was succeeding in its mission of harm reduction and disease prevention. While overall rates were up, Borenstein said that there were lower rates of hepatitis C and HIV infection among users who participated in the exchange program. In addition, the program took in more syringes than it gave out for the
fifth consecutive year in a row, a sign that fewer used syringes are circulating in the county. To combat opioid overdose deaths, the syringe exchange program also distributes the antioverdose medication naloxone. Over the last two years, the program has distributed 427 naloxone kits, 191 of which were used to prevent overdoses. Supervisor Bruce Gibson (2nd District) applauded the program and the availability of naloxone, but added that the anti-overdose drug was TROUBLING NUMBERS An increase in intravenous drug use as a not a substitute for drug result of the nation’s opioid epidemic is fueling a rise in hepatitis C and abuse treatment.

More affordable housing coming to Cambria
Planning Commission unanimously approved the nonprofit’s request for a coastal development permit to construct the eight-building apartment complex on Schoolhouse Lane. During public comment, Cambria resident Catherine Clayton expressed her concerns over the increased amount of water that the proposed project might use. “We have been through a lot of struggle to pull back and not have showers and not use water outside. I own a nursery and it’s been a real big struggle for us, in order to have just enough water for us,” Clayton said. The Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) declared a stage 3 water shortage in 2014 alongside conservation measures and penalties for overuse of potable water—the declaration was lifted in 2017. Airlin Singewald, a senior planner in the SLO County Planning and Building Department, said the project is not projected to use more water, as there are retrofit points set aside by the district for a development like this. The district’s retrofit program requires new construction to offset its water demand by purchasing retrofit points or actually retrofitting noncompliant water fixtures within the CCSD’s boundaries. Another concern raised at the meeting was Cambria’s building moratorium, which has been in effect since 2001. Singewald said the moratorium has an exception for affordable housing. “Staff recommended approval, and the Planning Commission approved the project based on the CCSD’s intent to serve letter, which verified that the CCSD has adequate

water availability to service the proposed project,” he said. The project will be on the same site as the nonprofit’s current 24-unit multi-family Schoolhouse Lane Apartments—built in 1997. John Fowler, president and CEO of Peoples’ Self-Help Housing, said the organization acquired the site in Cambria 21 years ago and building the Schoolhouse Lane Apartments affordable housing complex was the first phase. “We never thought it was going to be just 24 units, we always thought we would develop additional units. It was a long time coming,” Fowler said. He said there is a clear need in the area—the existing complex has 140 people on the wait list. The organization is planning to apply for lowincome housing tax credits and a bank loan in February 2020. Construction is slated to start in February 2021. —Karen Garcia

floor and 78 apartments (including 12 affordable studios) on the upper floors. James Lopes and Odile Ayral of the Foothill Blvd. Civic Defense filed the appeal challenging the Planning Commission’s July approval of the project, citing traffic and parking impacts, the blocking of the Bishop Peak viewshed, and a lack of environmental review. Also central to the debate was the developer’s request for more lot coverage (90 percent) and height than the local zoning code allows. Residents in opposition asked the City Council to push back on the waivers, while city leaders argued that California housing laws created those incentives for the developer, and that they tie the city’s hands legally. “Whether we love this project or don’t like it is unfortunately neither here nor there in terms of the very real housing laws that the state has now,” Mayor Heidi Harmon said. But many locals complained about the size and aesthetic of the project, and feared its impact on traffic safety in a busy Foothill expressway. “This is already one of the most dangerous, impacted intersections in the city,” said resident Mila Vujovich-La Barre. “I’m concerned about this gargantuan development and the impact of safety on the residents.” The project at 790 Foothill is planned on an amalgam of properties, including the current site of BlackHorse Espresso and Bakery. Speaking at the meeting, BlackHorse owner Tom Brown said his lease at the coffee shop runs through 2024—and he has no plans to close up shop. Brown told New Times that the project developer, Loren Riehl, has offered to buy out his lease, but the two have yet to come to an agreement. “I have every intention at this point of staying right there and operating a business,” Brown said. “I think we all agree in SLO there’s a need for affordable housing. But I don’t think that means we approve marginal projects in order to provide that.” Riehl is also behind new apartments across the street, at 22 Chorro—another controversial project approved in 2016. The developer pledged to commit $150,000 toward making infrastructure improvements beyond the scope of the project. That commitment, though, is contingent on locals not filing a court challenge to the project, which happened in the case of another one of his projects on Palomar Avenue. “I’m trying to do better in this part of town. I’m trying to do something above and beyond,” Riehl said. “I’d much rather spend money improving the city than fighting a frivolous lawsuit.” Prior to the City Council’s vote, Councilmembers Carlyn Christianson and Aaron Gomez called on residents to support new housing for all community members—including college students. “It’s irrelevant [who lives there],” Christianson said. “I don’t want to hear it. I’m tired of hearing that. I don’t like it. ... I do believe our City Council has an obligation to get some housing built. This is the perfect place for it.” —Peter Johnson

be able to move forward in SLO County Superior Court. On Jan. 8, Judge Linda Hurst denied a motion for a summary judgment made by attorneys representing the city of Atascadero and its police department. The department is being sued by Tulare resident Kyle Bell in connection with a 2016 confrontation between himself and Atascadero Police Department Cpl. Rochelle Hanson outside the department’s headquarters in Atascadero. According to the lawsuit, Bell, who is black, was on his way home with his wife and children after spending a day at the beach when he stopped and parked in front of the Atascadero Police Department to stretch his legs and smoke a cigarette. Bell was then approached by Hanson, who reportedly began to question him, telling him, “You look suspicious.” The officer then allegedly detained Bell before illegally searching Bell’s vehicle and questioning his wife, who is white and was sitting in the vehicle with the door and windows closed. Part of the exchange, which lasted three minutes, was captured on Hanson’s body-worn camera, though Bell’s attorney has claimed that it may have been edited. “[Bell] is informed and believes that his detention was based solely on his race and/or the fact that his wife appeared to be a white woman,” the lawsuit stated. In their motion for a summary judgment, the department’s attorneys argued that Hanson did not violate Bell’s civil rights, and that Hanson only asked to speak with his wife to make sure she was safe. “It appeared to [Hanson] that [Bell’s wife] was disengaged or uncomfortable, and [Hanson] felt it imperative to make sure the female was safe and not injured,” the motion stated. “Once [Hanson] began speaking to [Bell] about the female passenger, he immediately became confrontational and the woman remained non-engaging with the door and windows closed.” The motion stated, among other arguments, that the contact between Hanson and Bell was consensual, and not a detention or seizure. Still, the arguments failed to sway Hurst, who ruled that the questions raised by Bell’s attorney were valid enough to keep the case moving forward toward a trial. “As set forth … the court has found that there is a triable issue of fact whether [Hanson’s] conduct violated any of [Bell’s] constitutional rights,” Hurst wrote. The lawsuit remains ongoing, with Bell asking for damages in excess of $25,000. —Chris McGuinness
County fire districts look to an uncertain future Four of the seven current fire districts in SLO County may not be able to financially sustain themselves in the future. At a Jan. 15 SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting, the board decided to create an ad hoc committee with 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson and 1st District Supervisor John Peschong, to work on solutions for special district fire departments that aren’t bringing in enough revenue to stay fiscally solvent. During public comment, Rob Roberson, San Miguel Fire District chief and general manager, said that it’s a countywide issue that needs to be addressed. “The last thing we want to do is come up short or miss a call. You know, dial 911 and no one is available because of lack of revenue,” he said. Retired fire chiefs Dan Turner and Mike McMurry presented their evaluation of the special district fire protection in the unincorporated areas within the county. The issue isn’t unique to the county. Statewide, an increase in training requirements and changing demographics has led to fewer volunteer firefighters. That decrease, in turn, has led to an increased need for paid partand full-time firefighters, which is more expensive. Their evaluation looked at the fire districts in Oceano, San Miguel, Santa Margarita, and Templeton, including what would happen if they were to dissolve—in which case fire service would either be provided by the county or default to the nearest Cal Fire station. If the Five Cities Fire Authority joint agreement falls through in the future, Oceano might have to look into divesting from the district, which could cost the county an additional $600,000. San Miguel indicated that it’s unsure whether it will provide fire service in another five years. Annual staffing and operations for the community’s district are estimated to increase by $1.3 million. Santa Margarita’s fire service prospects are also uncertain in the future, and the fire station needs to be replaced. Templeton Fire needs to figure out a way to augment its funding or the district will have to divest, as well. Δ —Karen Garcia

Justified? Federal lawsuit questions use of deadly force in 2017 officer-involved shooting
I
n the early morning hours of Jan. 24, 2017, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office deputies Jonathan Calvert and Greg Roach pulled over 34-year-old Josue Gallardo on southbound Highway 101 near the Santa Barbra Road exit in Atascadero. Moments later, Gallardo was dead, shot to death by the two officers. While those facts are indisputable, what happened in the short time between them, and why it happened, are up for debate. A recent federal lawsuit filed by Gallardo’s widow challenges the Sheriff’s Office’s official story about the circumstances that led up to Gallardo’s death. The suit also accuses the two deputies of violating Gallardo’s constitutional rights by unnecessarily using excessive and lethal force in their encounter with him that night. “The killing of [Gallardo] by deputies Calvert and Roach and their conduct … were unreasonable, unjustified, and offensive to human dignity,” the lawsuit, filed in late November, stated. At the heart of the dispute is whether Gallardo posed a threat to the deputies. Accounts from multiple press releases
distributed by the Sheriff’s Office in the wake of the shooting stated that Calvert and Roach approached the vehicle, opening fire after Gallardo reportedly pulled a gun on them. The lawsuit alleges that the deputies approached Gallardo “aggressively” with their guns already drawn and aimed at the 34-year-old father of two. “Gallardo was still, seated in the driver’s seat of his vehicle, obeying and complying with every command made by the deputies,” the lawsuit claims. According to the lawsuit, Calvert engaged Gallardo and holstered his weapon, an action it argues indicated that the deputy determined that Gallardo wasn’t a threat. Despite that fact that Gallardo was reportedly complying with all the directions given to him by the deputies, the lawsuit claims that Roach then opened fire, discharging multiple rounds into Gallardo. “The lack of warning and justification for these shots are evinced by the fact that Deputy Roach’s shots almost struck his partner, Deputy Calvert, in the process, who was positioned next to [Gallardo]

at the time [Roach] fired his service weapon,” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit does not mention whether Gallardo was in possession of a gun at the time of the shooting, nor if he brandished it at the deputies. Attorneys Justin Sterling and Erin Darling, who are both listed as representing Gallardo’s widow, Frances Gallardo, declined to answer questions about the issue from New Times, noting that it was still very early in the lawsuit proceedings. “The investigation is still ongoing, but that issue will absolutely be addressed,” Sterling said. Roach and Calvert are both named as defendants in the lawsuit along with SLO County and the Sheriff’s Office. Statements released by the Sheriff’s Office in the wake of the shooting characterized both deputies as experienced officers, each with more than 10 years of law enforcement experience. In the statement issued on Jan. 25, 2017, the Sheriff’s Office said the circumstances surrounding the shooting would be reviewed, including a criminal investigation and a parallel investigation by the Sheriff’s Office Professional Standards Unit. “Once the criminal investigation is complete, the case will be submitted to the District Attorney’s Office for independent review,” the statement read. “The investigation will include the criminal actions of the suspect as well as

the actions of the deputies.” The Sheriff’s Office representatives declined to comment on the allegations in the lawsuit, as well as the results of its internal investigation of the shooting, citing the ongoing litigation. SLO County Assistant District Attorney Eric Dobroth told New Times that the DA’s Office did review the shooting, and determined that the use of deadly force by both deputies was lawful. Despite the DA’s determination, the lawsuit alleges that the Sheriff’s Office had inadequate training and policies regarding the use of deadly force. “There’s a concern that there is a structural problem,” Darling said, “that the sheriff’s department has not done enough to prevent this tragic death.” Incidents of lethal use of force involving SLO County Sheriff’s Office deputies are rare. According to data from the California Department of Justice, Gallardo’s death was the first and only reported fatal officer-involved shooting within the Sheriff’s Office in the last 13 years. The lawsuit remains ongoing in federal court. The county, Sheriff’s Office, and other defendants listed in the suit have until Jan. 25, 2019, to file a response, according to court records. ∆

Temporary solution Nonprofit moves forward with providing warming shelter for Atascadero homeless
T
he winter months are a time for permanent and temporary warming shelters around SLO County to open their doors to individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing homelessness. In Atascadero, things are no different. There are two different shelters that assist the homeless, the El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) shelter and Transitional Food and Shelter. When Transitional was going to lose its warming shelter location from Jan. 22 through April 15, 2019, the nonprofit started looking for a facility that could work in its stead. Last November, the organization proposed using the Atascadero armory as a temporary warming shelter, but a lack of funding, its close proximity to schools, and the short time frame caused the City Council to deny the request. The issue sparked a conversation about what services are provided to the homeless and who’s responsible for finding solutions to gaps in those services. ECHO is a program-based shelter that offers the homeless a bed for the night and a plan to get the individual in their own home within 90 days. It operates out
of a 50-bed facility that Wendy Lewis, president of ECHO, said becomes a client’s temporary home. “It’s different from other shelters in the sense that you don’t pack up your things and have to leave in the morning,” Lewis said. She said within the first five days of a client’s stay, they are connected with a case manager to identify their needs. “They’ll work with, their case manager on a case plan, and it’s really special because this person is the client’s partner the whole way,” she said. Case managers assist in employment counseling, transportation, clothing, and other resources. ECHO has a zerotolerance policy for alcohol and substance abuse, so there’s a group of people that the organization is unable to help. Transitional Food and Shelter fills that gap. It provides similar services to its clients—including those who have alcoholand substance-abuse issues. Orlando Gallegos, president of Transitional, said the organization provides meals, showers, and shelter to those who might not be ready for a 90-day plan and may need a bed and medical assistance first. The other difference between the two is that Transitional doesn’t have

a permanent location. It works with churches in the area that lend their halls. Every evening, cots get set up and they’re packed up in the morning. Gallegos said the organization helps anywhere between 20 to 60 homeless individuals each night. Last year, St. Williams Church hosted the warming shelter, but it notified the organization that it would no longer be able to accommodate the shelter after Jan. 21, 2019. That’s when Transitional Food and Shelter proposed using the Atascadero armory as a temporary site for a shelter. After the City Council denied the project, Gallegos said the community stepped up to help the organization’s efforts by donating meals and calling to ask how they can help. Dove Creek Church contacted Transitional to become a hosting site from Jan. 21 to April. Gallegos said he feels positive about the new City Council members, which has helped connect him with other organizations and cities to make Transitions’ efforts possible, but he still believes that the city of Atascadero needs to find a permanent solution. “We all recognize cities are cash strapped. In this case, [the city] simply denied that the problems are theirs along with the rest of the community,” he said. At a Dec. 11 City Council meeting,
community members echoed that sentiment during public comment. Resident Jim Carlyle said he’s seen homeless individuals wandering the neighborhoods in the evenings, especially near wooded areas and creek beds. “Furthermore, if safety of the community is your concern, which I hope it is, then consider what happens to the homeless who are left without a warm place,” Carlyle said. Atascadero Mayor Heather Moreno told New Times that the cost of finding a permanent solution for a homeless shelter couldn’t just fall on the city, as it didn’t know the cost. “We did not have an estimate of the cost of the project, and that was part of the issue, along with the short time frame that wouldn’t lend us time to do a cost analysis,” Moreno said. She said that the homeless issue isn’t the only significant need in Atascadero as the city is continually looking into the needs of its fire station and police department. Although it was a difficult decision, the mayor stands behind denial of the project. “Overall, with all of the responses that I have received outside of council meetings through emails and just being in the community—taking the entire community into account—I think we are moving forward with the best possible solution,” she said. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

The vision
2018 as part of a $14 million expansion project. “They saw the potential for hosting an exhibit,” Daurio said. “We thought it would be something people would connect to, considering the subject matter and scope of the work.” Daurio said the DANA Cultural Center was working to expand beyond being known as just a showcase for the adobe, but as a center where people could come and explore other aspects of local culture or participate in events. For DANA board member Rudy Stowell, the importance of the Zornes exhibit is to highlight an influential artist with roots in Nipomo whose work also featured prominent aspects of the region, including the adobe and surrounding scenery. He said he was surprised at just how much work the artist had done locally. “I had heard his name over the years, but I had no idea the depth of it,” Stowell said. “So for me it was an eye opener.”
His own path
CENTURY MAN: Milford Zornes, who lived to be 100, influenced numerous artists throughout the Central Coast thanks to his workshops in Cambria and his lifelong mentorship of up-and-coming painters. His work is on display at the DANA Adobe Cultural Center in Nipomo through Jan. 27.

here is something different about some of the paintings on the wall at the DANA Adobe Cultural Center in Nipomo. The paintings are all the work of Milford Zornes, a noted member of the California Scene Painters movement, and they seem entirely cohesive at first. But as one progresses through the exhibit, there is evidence of a shift in style. The work seems to drift from realism to more sustained examples of impressionism and then finally into a surreal beautiful type of abstraction. The common bond they all share is a definite and immediate sense of place. If you live on the Central Coast, you know these images. Here are the rolling hills on the east side of Highway 101; here is the land jutting out from the coast just past Pismo Beach. This is our California, captured by the skilled and trained eye of one man. For DANA board members such as Alan Daurio, the paintings represent the culmination of a longtime effort to expand
what the DANA—which stands for Dana Adobe Nipomo Amigos—is known for as well as to highlight the work of an influential artist. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the work of an artist who lived to be 100,” Daurio said. “He was extremely prolific, and we have a record of his work from the Great Depression to the 2000s. We jumped at it.” The DANA Adobe Cultural Center is hosting a unique exhibit of Zornes’ work through Jan. 27. In August, the center put out a request to the general public to ask if it could borrow Zornes’ paintings to be featured at the museum. The exhibit, which now contains dozens of his paintings made over a span of 80 years, gives the community an opportunity to learn more about the painter as well as the impact he and his work had on the art world and the California art community. For those who knew the artist personally, the exhibit tells a story of a man who forged a jagged path to the art world, surviving as a working artist during the

Great Depression, painting art in Asia for the Army in World War II, and eventually becoming one of the most successful and influential landscape artists to emerge from California. For others just getting to know his work and life, the paintings tell a story of a man utterly devoted to his art and the heartbreaking realities he faced at the end of his life.
Depth and breadth
Today, the sleek halls of the DANA Adobe Cultural Center are lit by massive beams of golden sunlight from the floorto-ceiling windows. Examples of Zornes’ work fill the walls. Many were donated by family members, including Hal and Maria Baker, Zornes’ daughter. They represent an effort by the DANA board to bring together as much of Zornes’ work as they could find, thanks to an outreach effort started in 2017. Daurio, a longtime DANA board member and docent, said the Bakers were interested in showcasing Zornes’ work after seeing the new cultural center, which opened in May
Although he isn’t an artist, Hal Baker learned a lot from Zornes. “He gave me a view into something totally different,” Baker said. “I’m from a very blue collar family, I don’t know anything about art. I never tried to paint or draw or anything. So it was a completely different world for me.” Baker married Zornes’ daughter and only child, Maria, in 1966. Today Baker is the manager of Zornes Art LLC, which oversees the painter’s estate and works to preserve his legacy. Baker is also the author of Happiness is Warm Color in the Shade, a thorough biography of Zornes and his extensive paintings. “[Zornes] was always focused on his work,” Baker said. “I guess that’s probably the best thing I can say. He got up in the morning and worked all day, sometimes until 10 or 11 o’clock at night. He was very focused on art.” When Zornes was born, Baker said, his mother looked at her newborn child and announced that he would one day become a famous artist. She would eventually be proven correct, although her son would find his own very distinct way of getting there. That path took Zornes into many different professions and all across the globe. He studied architecture. He tried his hand at photography. He dabbled with being a writer and a journalist. He moved around, trying different jobs, almost always eventually finding himself dispirited with any formal structure he encountered. It was in 1931 when Zornes made what was perhaps his most important change. He left the art institute in Pasadena and went to Pomona College. It was there that he met Millard Sheets, perhaps the most well known member of what was at the time an emerging group of landscape artists who would be collectively known as the California Scene Painters. The California Scene Painters was a group of painters, many of them watercolorists, whose work celebrated the natural scenery and everyday life in the Golden State. The movement thrived from the 1920s through the 1960s and featured acclaimed artists such as Sheets, Phil Dike, Elsie Palmer Payne, Doug Kingman, Rex Brandt, and Zornes, who found his calling at Pomona working with Sheets. “By then he knew art was what he wanted to do,” Baker said. “Sheets was just six months older and was already established by the time Milford got to Pomona in 1931. Milford thought, ‘If he could do this, so can I.’” He took classes with Sheets and quickly got to know him and the other group of emerging artists in the California Scene

Painters group. Zornes, following in his friends’ and colleagues’ footsteps, rose up in the scene fast, becoming a wellestablished member of the collective. “They all got to know each other,” Baker said. “They would all go to each other’s homes for parties and dinners. There was a lot of camaraderie. They talked about painting and what they did. It was really an exciting time for [Zornes] to be associated with some established artists.” Another major influence on Zornes’ life and work was the federal government. As a struggling artist in the Depression, Zornes saw little hope for earning a living at his craft. But in 1935, the government established the Federal Art Project, one of the biggest programs of The New Deal sponsored by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The goal of the program was to employ the nation’s artists to create a massive portion of public art, including paintings, sculpture, and a series of public murals celebrating the spirit of the American working class. It was under this program that Zornes found respite from the crushing economic realities of the late 1930s. “One of the things that Milford talked about the rest of his life after the Depression was the federal government’s role in supporting artists through the WPA program,” Baker said. “It kind of kept him alive as an artist. I’m not sure what he would have done if he hadn’t been associated with the WPA.” Sheets was a regional administrator during that time. Zornes received monthly payments from the government to produce several paintings during the month. Baker said he never forgot the government’s role and how it helped him survive. He staunchly believed the government should support and promote the arts and give people an opportunity to make a living that way. It wasn’t long after the Depression that Zornes’ career began to thrive and he no longer needed the government to provide support for him. In 1942, Zornes was drafted into the U.S. Army during World War II, at the age of 34. He would spend the next few years serving as a war artist, a unique role that filled an important need for the Army at the time.
The official war art program began in 1917; during the 1940s, the U.S. military sent artists in its ranks to produce works of art that would serve as a record for major historical events. (Famed portrait artist John Singer Sargent was one of the most well known war artists.) Through his work with the Army, Zornes would travel to China, Burma, and India, dutifully painting scenes. “Zornes went everywhere,” Baker said. “He had carte blanche to do what he wanted to do. He went with the war correspondents when they traveled to write about different places, and he did paintings in all those areas.” He produced landscapes, paintings of ships, and numerous portraits of young soldiers stationed overseas. The Zornes family has spent the last three years working to track down many of the soldiers he painted.
A lasting impression
TOGETHER NOW The collection of Milford Zornes’ work at the DANA Adobe Cultural Center is a landmark collection from the artist, known as a prominent member of the California Scene Painters movement. Many of Zornes’ family members lent their paintings to the center to be featured in the show.
The war also meant the start of a slow transition from the California Scene Painters. “By the time they came back from the second world war, they all still knew each other but their lives were going in different ways,” Baker said. “Even though Milford still knew all of them, he was beginning to do his own thing.” It was then that Zornes’ journey took him to Nipomo. In 1945, he returned from India and moved to the Central Coast with his wife, Pat, and their daughter, Maria. Zornes’ parents lived in Nipomo and ran a store. His father owned a woodcutting business and owned some land on the west side of town. Zornes’ intention was to buy a house and a barn that he would convert to a studio. But by 1947 the family was off again, this time to Pomona Art College where he took a job as an instructor. Despite the move, Zornes still kept his connections to the Central Coast, including running an annual workshop for the better part of a decade. Zornes and IMAGES COURTESY OF MILFORD ZORNES
SLOWLY FADING Zornes spent decades working non-stop as a painter, chronicling the California scenery. When he was diagnosed with macular degeneration, an incurable disease that severely impacts vision, he was devastated but continued to produce work. The impact of his disease is apparent in his later work.
his wife visited Nipomo often, and he led a yearly workshop in Cambria, becoming well known as a teacher and mentor in the region. “Milford did a lot of workshops and had an impact on a lot of other artists,” Baker said. “That’s probably the biggest thing, his mentorships and his workshops.” One of the artists who Zornes mentored and befriended through those workshops was Mike Grahek. Grahek met Zornes in the 1990s, through another art teacher who showed him a book of the artist’s work. “I had never seen his work before,” Grahek said. “It was just so stunning and bold. So I knew I had to take his workshop.” The two artists painted frequently together, with Grahek fervently absorbing Zornes’ tips and techniques as well as his outlook on art and the art world. They often traveled together, visiting places like Cuba where Grahek said his mentor would fill pages and pages of sketchbooks quickly and often run out of art supplies. Grahek said Zornes carried on the tradition of the California Scene Painters, many of whom died long before him, throughout his entire life. Grahek said one thing that set Zornes apart from others in the movement was his steadfast refusal to change his style to suit contemporary trends or art market demands. While others adapted and evolved to sell art to younger audiences, Zornes remained stubborn. “To his detriment, sometimes, he wouldn’t change,” Grahek said. “Even when the galleries urged him to change to suit more modern styles, he wouldn’t. He said he believed in what he was doing and wouldn’t change it to sell art.” His work did evolve over the years, Grahek noted, but not to appease the art market. “I’ve worked with a lot of artists, and his drive and his passion to paint and express was just amazing,” Grahek said. “He could paint all day long. I would get worn out. But he would just keep going and going. I didn’t know how he did it.” As he approached his senior years, Zornes showed few signs of slowing down. He was always doing art somehow, somewhere, Baker recalled.
“When we traveled together, I’d look at Milford and he’d be looking out the window through his binoculars and he’d be drawing in a sketchbook,” he said. “And he did that all day long. He was constantly drawing, painting, sketching.” But eventually something within Zornes did wear down.
Fading from view
Contrary to one’s first guess, the shift in Zornes’ style in his paintings was not due to a deliberate style or an experimentation with abstraction. In the late 1990s, Zornes was diagnosed with macular degeneration. An incurable disease, macular degeneration attacks the portion of the retina where images are recorded and transferred from the eye to the brain. The disease ravages a person’s ability to do everyday tasks such as drive or read and affects the ability to see fine details on objects and scenery. For an artist such as Zornes, the disease can be earth shattering. “He was devastated,” Baker said. “His comment was, ‘How can this happen to me? I’m an artist, I have to see.’ That first year was very frustrating. We were very worried about him.” Baker said Zornes’ wife was a source of strength and inspiration as he struggled to continue to paint and work as the disease slowly progressed. Over the next two decades of his life, he continued to paint, although it became a much more laborious process for him. As the years went by, his productivity decreased, but Zornes still produced impressive and bold pieces of work. In his final years, he worked at a desk by his bed, sketching and painting watercolors daily. He died in 2008, leaving behind a massive body of work and a legacy as a mentor to dozens of other artists throughout the Central Coast and beyond. “He never gave up,” Baker said. “[Zornes] was always looking to paint that one perfect painting knowing he’d never get there. But he kept at it, right up until the end.” ∆ Contact Sun Arts and Lifestyle Writer Rebecca Rose at rrose@santamariasun.com.

hether it’s a wallet, a piece of jewelry, a Bluetooth speaker, or an air plant, every item in Audra and Gabriel Glatstein’s eclectic new store in Morro Bay, Intent, shares one unifying theme: social good. There are notebooks that help build schools and literacy programs; sunglasses that provide eye exams to people who can’t afford them; coffee farmed sustainably in Vietnam; and necklaces made by women rescued from sex trafficking. Anything and everything for sale inside the couple’s nook on Morro Bay Boulevard has an altruistic bent. That was Audra’s dream for the store when she, Gabriel, and their young daughter recently moved to the Central Coast to pursue a new career path and lifestyle. The family left a busy life in Clovis to start anew in Morro Bay, a city Audra visited frequently growing up in the Central Valley. “We wanted to do something different,” Audra told New Times. “We played around with the idea of a store, but we didn’t want to do just a store; we wanted to do something that felt meaningful and beautiful to us.” Audra said at first she wasn’t sure if she would be able to find enough business partners to stock a whole store with products she could stand behind. But after hours and hours of research, she discovered there was a bounty of vendors. From skateboards made with recycled fishing nets, to sustainably sourced clothes, to pins that benefit immigrant youth, Intent’s inventory is truly a mosaic of interesting and tasteful products, companies, and causes. “It’s been really fun to work with these companies that do give-backs because they’re all super stoked [to work with us],” she said. “We found a lot of companies, which was so beautiful.” The Glatsteins are holding up their end as a charitable business, too. They’ve signed up to be one of only 500 companies statewide to pledge 2,000 tree plantings to the nonprofit One Tree Planted, which is helping reforest California in the wake of devastating wildfires. They’re also members of 1 Percent for the
Planet, donating 1 percent of their gross revenue to environmental causes. For Audra and Gabriel, opening Intent is about both doing some good in the world and offering their community a positive and socially conscious shopping experience. “The idea behind the store is intentional shopping,” Gabriel said. “We like to shop as much has the next person, but I think for a lot of people, they go shopping and find it to be a rather cavernous experience where you feel hollow after. We kind of had this thought of, can’t shopping feel good? And what a beautiful thing if you could shop and actually do good for other people.” Intent is located at 317 Morro Bay Blvd. and is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Reach the store by phone at (805) 222-3025 or at intentastore.com.

Commentary
BY THE LOS OSOS GROUNDWATER COMMITTEE
Fresh water solution The Los Osos groundwater problem can be solved
W
e are writing this letter to make clear our position respecting the current controversy over water resource planning by the Los Osos Community Services District (CSD). The fundamentals of our water crisis do not require either great expertise or significant insight. The following are the relevant facts. The community, now roughly 14,000 souls, is entirely dependent on the aquifer underlying Los Osos. That aquifer is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the Irish Hills to the southwest, and high hills on the northeast. It is asserted to be a single basin extending roughly to the new sewer plant (or, based on various historic studies and well logs, its eastern extremity may end roughly at South Bay Boulevard). The two perceptions may drive certain legal challenges to the current Los Osos basin management plan but are not the principal focus of this letter. The county’s goal is to allow further development and a 5,000-person expansion of the community, dependent on this same aquifer. Any reasonable reading of the basin plan evidences its failure to take into account basic high school physics. Basin water management includes severe restrictions on domestic water consumption, restricting household use sufficiently to cause prospective purchasers to be hesitant to buy properties in the basin, and making modest outdoor landscaping difficult. The proposal to add another one-third to

the user population without significantly improved water resources is absurd. Most severely, even with such restrictions, the top of the freshwater aquifer has already fallen below sea level. Ocean salt water is heavier than fresh water, which guarantees the movement of seawater into the western side of the Los Osos aquifer, and it is continuing as you read this letter. Once this contamination occurs, it is very difficult to reverse. Thus, water management that increases seawater intrusion represents a nearly criminal failure. Curiously, earlier drafts of the Basin Management Plan dismissed efforts to increase the amount of fresh water from other sources. County advocates claim that reinjection of treated sewage water will increase the basin resource, but that water only replaces what’s no longer injected by individual septic systems. It does not increase the resource. No “studies,” or pumping adjustments among the public water wells, could possibly stop the current seawater intrusion, which is assured by having a freshwater aquifer level below that of the adjacent Pacific Ocean. The use of such “studies” or occasional “results” to persuade the community that the severe long-term problems can be solved without finding additional freshwater resources is a serious misrepresentation. No understanding of basic physics would support such representations. We have been told that the movement of public wells further east would “solve”
Russell Hodin

this problem. That is both “true,” and a misrepresentation. It would solve the short-term problem, as those wells would escape the immediate saline contamination. But that would absolutely not stop the rate of seawater intrusion into the basin, which, as noted earlier, represents the potential for irreversible damage to the aquifer There is a second and also severe problem with moving the wells farther east. If there is not one, but two or three basins as one moves east (and earlier geologic studies, as well as agricultural and private well logs make it appear that is the case), the drilling of new wells farther east by the public water companies is illegal.
A cost-effective solution None of the goals of the basin management plan will succeed without additional freshwater resources. The proposal to add 5,000 residents to a desperately decaying freshwater aquifer is ridiculous. However, robust additional freshwater resources are available in the form of stormwater recapture. There are two separate resources for stormwater recapture; one from the Irish Hills (Los Osos Creek), and the other from the Warden Lake watershed. Both can easily provide stormwater capture. In terms of volumes available, Warden Lake, which drains roughly 4,800 acres, will in a normal year, receive 6,840 acrefeet of rain. For comparison, at the rate of 50 gallons per day per person in Los Osos, the aggregate annual domestic consumption is 887 acre-feet. Although there are losses from
upstream consumption and evaporation, there is an enormous amount of additional fresh water available for recovery from this resource, easily enough to double or triple the current domestic consumption while solving the problem of seawater intrusion permanently. There are many simple models for capturing stormwater runoff at Warden Lake, though over the last 15 or more years, nothing appears to have been done to examine this—one of the very few, if not the only, opportunities to deal with this crucial issue. This crisis is severely underestimated, and a lack of attention to the threat of destroying the Los Osos aquifer by seawater intrusion (as well as the continuing impairment of local real property values), is a serious failure of the CSD to meet its public obligations. We are committed to doing whatever we can to enhance the Los Osos aquifer. The capture of local stormwater runoff would meet the county’s goals of securing the long-term freshwater resources of the town, avoid destruction of our precious aquifer, and enable the return to a prosperous real estate market. The failure to take such actions will leave the community with more severe water rationing, and the potential of requiring a seawater desalinization plant, with its massive capital costs and very expensive domestic water. The failure to address these matters is unacceptable. ∆ The Los Osos Groundwater Committee is made up of 10 farmers who reside in the Los Osos area, including Barry Branin.

Opinion Nextdoor can be used for good I brought the first Nextdoor app to the Lodge Hill neighborhood of Cambria, and through it helped to nix a nursing home slated to occupy a lot with native Monterey pines. But gorging on the community’s limited water supplies was what ultimately did the facility in—thanks to the California Coastal Commission. Yes, Nextdoor can encourage petty debates, but 2,000 households are now on it, and few “unsign.” Just recently I proposed an energy-related project—to bring neighbors to a forum bringing solar to our homes now that PG&E will likely be raising rates (or going bankrupt, whichever comes first). I suggested we form a buyers club to get discounts on solar-related components. As an organizational tool, Nextdoor is proving to be quite a tool. William Seavey Cambria
Fact trumps fantasy Kudos to Mr. Wechter for his recent editorial in New Times (“A special holiday greeting,” Dec. 27, 2018). The negative responses to his piece demonstrate clearly to those of us who embrace only incontrovertible facts that we will be predictably besmirched by the verbal regurgitations of the vituperators and the uninformed spewing of their bombast and name calling. They expose their ugly underbelly more dramatically as each day passes. I also enjoy waving a few paragraphs of fact in their faces—much like exposing garlic to a vampire. You got it right, sir, and welcome to the ever-growing number of we the cognoscenti who compete in the arena of ideas and eschew character assassination. August Salemi Atascadero
A fun fact about that Constitution The Mueller report is bursting with evidence of Russian influence in the 2016 election. It could lead to a finding that the election of Trump/Pence was invalid. If they go, the Constitution says the next in succession is speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi, our first woman president. Marvin Sosna Morro Bay
We need to be vigilant
Thank you for the Jan. 3 article “San Luis Coastal is concerned about vaping.” Karen Garcia’s information was extremely accurate. As a San Luis Coastal Unified School District (SLCUSD) teacher for more than 35 years, I can attest to the fact that students are exposed to drug use as early as elementary school and that vaping, as a trend, is on the rise. Students are indeed struggling with addiction at ages younger than I have ever witnessed. Ideally, there needs to be a comprehensive drug education program in every district throughout our country to inform students, parents, and guardians of the risks of adolescent drug use. I applaud the SLCUSD for recently establishing a mandatory health class for all seventh graders to lead them to healthy choices as they ascend to adulthood. Currently, I teach and serve as vice president of the group Prevention of Substance Abuse for Youth (POSAFY). I invite all parents, educators, and concerned community members to attend the South County Marijuana Forum on Thursday, Jan. 31, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Lucia Mar Unified School District Board Room, 602 Orchard St. in Arroyo Grande. A group of diverse expert panelists will talk about their interest to curb teen drug use. Vaping, marijuana,
opioids, alcohol, and other drugs will be discussed. While alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and opioids are readily available for adults in our society, these products should simply not be used by teens while their brains and bodies are developing. Although schools have measures to discipline students who are caught using drugs, I would rather have all parents, mentors, and educators strive to be proactive and secure facts through this forum, posafy.org, the SLO County Behavioral Health Department and Partnership for Drug-Free Kids. Get the facts to protect the next generation from the slick advertising that surrounds vaping products and other drugs. Adults need to be vigilant, positive, healthy role models for children, now more than ever. Mila Vujovich-La Barre San Luis Obispo

The real crisis A s I write this, we are entering the fourth week of a partially shut down government. It’s unnecessary; a significant hardship upon federal workers, especially those in the lower echelons whose incomes are not in the six-figure range; and a real morale buster. There will be long-term financial consequences for tens of thousands of workers whose credit ratings will likely be damaged by unsympathetic creditors when payments for cars, credit cards, appliances, or mortgages are late. We are repeatedly assured that some will receive back pay but when is very uncertain. I feel especially for the enlisted sailors of the Coast Guard, most of whom don’t have access to government housing and often live in very expensive areas due to their assignments. After 9/11, the Coast Guard switched from the Department of the Treasury to the newly created Department of Homeland Security along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Unfortunately, Homeland Security is ground zero for the test of wills between the president and the Democrats, who seized control of the House of Representatives in November. This fight is unnecessary as the issue of constructing a border wall could have been resolved over the last two years when Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and the presidency but chose instead to
squabble among themselves and kowtow to a rabid, Trump-hating media, refusing to back an effective barrier at the border. The Democrats don’t have clean hands on this either as their hatred of the president surpasses all reason and patriotism. Virtually every Democrat who held office before the November 2018 election voted to support funding for a wall on the southern border to one degree or another. Major players such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer voted to fund previous wall proposals. Today, it’s as the president claims: Opposition is personal and based upon a desire to obstruct any policy initiated or supported by President Donald Trump, especially a border wall as it was the seminal plank in his quest for the presidency. The losers in this are federal workers caught in the middle and, of course, the American people. Most despicable is the sudden reversal of Democrats’ rhetoric regarding the southern border, which until a few weeks ago was described as a horror show on national news. Children were separated from parents, desperate columns of refugees, thousands of them marching steadily toward the U.S. border, suffered unimaginable indignities, only to be met by tear gas and “heartless Border Patrol agents” who dared to enforce U.S. immigration laws enacted by Congress. The conditions in which border

crossers were held once apprehended were considered abominable as major news networks recycled file footage of children being held in cages and forced to sleep on thin floor mats, failing to report that the file footage was taken during the Obama presidency, blaming Trump exclusively. Suddenly, all of this is a “manufactured crisis” even as two children tragically died while in U.S. custody, one displaying ill effects from the journey north, the severity not recognized until too late. The second died after being released from a local hospital at the insistence of the father who declined further medical treatment for his 8-year-old son. No matter, “that’s Trump’s fault” to be sure along with the Border Patrol agents for not second-guessing hospital physicians who released the child. This drama is likely to play out indefinitely to the detriment of the nation. We’re told by Pelosi and company that a border wall is “immoral, inefficient” as media talking heads repeat the mantra “this is a manufactured crisis.” It wasn’t “manufactured” when President Obama spoke on the issue or when these same politicians insisted we had to secure the border against drug cartels and mass illegal immigration. We’ve seen organized mass columns of migrants assault the border since October, numbering 60,000 migrants, according to the Border Patrol. Another column of 15,000 is reported to be organizing in Honduras for another assault on our southern border. Walls work, and where they’ve been installed, illegal border crossings have been routinely

reduced by 90 to 95 percent, which allows us to manage the problem without the chaos we’re currently observing. America, as I have pointed out in many previous articles, is truly a wonderful place to live when compared to much of the world. Some estimate that as many as 1.5 billion people would make the trek here if possible. Unfortunately, America can’t save the world alone. We don’t have the kind of economy that can absorb millions of low-skilled immigrants as we once did when we were the manufacturing capital of the planet. We cannot permit thousands of criminals to infiltrate the border alongside legitimate migrants. Hundreds of migrants apprehended in the current mass migration north have cartel/gang affiliations. When media types scoff at this threat, they endanger all of us and mock the surviving family members of crime. Some of these victims are on the Central Coast, such as the brutal 2015 assault and bludgeoning to death of Marilyn Pharis in Santa Maria. We live with it—her family knows it’s not a “manufactured crisis.” The real crisis is an irreconcilable political divide among Americans. If reason doesn’t prevail, the divide will become irrevocable and potentially fatal for the nation. ∆

The Shredder
Monument to love I s it just me, or does it seem like there’s a budding bromance brewing on the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors? Once constipated with consternation at the audacity of the other’s ideology, 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson and 1st District Supervisor John Peschong—or Brohn and Juce as I like to call them—seem to be cuddling up to one another. Step aside, 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton and 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, there’s new board BFFs on their way to center stage and they’re not even on the same side! Reaching across the aisle for a warm embrace of compromise instead of standing steadfast in opposition to their colleagues. What?? Am I living in an alternate universe? Although the unlikely duo hasn’t quite made it to the joke-cracking status of the much-tittered over love between presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, don’t worry. Brohn and Juce will get there—they could even have their own song. For now, at least, they’re tag-teaming their way to another muchneeded committee! Bringing together diversified and opposing interests to actually get the ideologically separated Board of Supervisors to come together on a new way to pay for affordable housing? Check! Moving on! The county’s special fire districts are
facing financial troubles? Never fear, Brohn and Juce are here! SLO County’s citizens don’t want to pay what it actually costs to run adequate fire services. No new taxes! They spout into the microphone at public meetings. What they don’t seem to understand is you pay for what you get. The Templeton Fire District can’t even pay to keep its station staffed 24 hours a day! If my cardboard shack under the bridge behind the office was burning down, I would definitely want the closest fire station to be fully staffed and ready to save my ass. It looks like, for at least four out of the seven remaining fire districts, dissolution is the only option unless the residents they serve, or the county, cough up some more moolah. Brohn and Juce to the rescue!! Duhn, duhn, na!!! Maybe they can help bridge the divide in the city of San Luis Obispo over development, because I think the SLO City Council has had enough of the NIMBY rhetoric. You should have heard them at the Jan. 15 meeting. They were revved up and ready to scold. One of embattled developer Loren Riehl’s student housing projects with a small number of “affordable units” was before council members again— and yes, the same ol’ cast of characters paraded their discontent during public comment. The Allan Coopers and Mila Vujovich-La Barres of SLO Town were
upset about: Traffic. Congestion. Height. Width. Poor fit with city character. Blocked viewsheds. Nothing new there. Plus those arguments don’t work. Geezus, you broken records—you need to figure something else out! And the city’s response is just as predictable: We need housing. The state is forcing us to allow development like this. Our hands are tied. I’m so sick of this stupid debate. And I ain’t the only one. At least one resident is so fed up with the City Council’s decisions on allowing development to take place that she wrote this to council members on Jan. 11: “I would like to come to the meeting but am sooo tired of sitting there, listening to the developer’s bullshit, sharing my thoughts and feelings, only to hear the staff tell you what to do. So if you have already decided, I’ll just stay home. Please let me know.” Well, Debbie Anthony, hopefully you did stay home, because I do believe they had made up their minds! “Our City Council has an obligation to get some housing built,” Councilmember Carlyn Christianson told meeting attendees. “People just don’t want a development. That’s fine. But continuing to make up reasons why not and having them change based on the development … . I don’t want to hear
it. I’m tired of hearing that. I don’t like it. You’re going to make me mad when you talk about it. I want to hear real problems.” The real problem, I guess, is that the BlackHorse Espresso and Bakery on Foothill is stuck in the middle of this mess. Owner Tom Brown is not down with Riehl’s development because the coffee spot’s lease is good through 2024. “I have every intent of staying right there and operating a business,” Brown said. Sounds like it could be an actual, real, live problem. Neither Christianson nor any other City Council member addressed it. That whole Teddy Roosevelt statue proposed for Mitchell Park didn’t get addressed either, but I’ll take care of that, since we are all apparently weighing in on the whole monuments to white males debate started by SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon. First of all, this monument deal has been going on since at least 2016, so it’s not some new issue, and yes, it’s dumb. Thanks ex-City Councilmember Jon Ashbaugh. Teddy was great and all, but does one visit to a park warrant spending $150,000 for a bronze sculpture? Second, there are too many monuments to white males. It’s oppressive. Third, if President Donald Trump visited San Luis Obispo and gave a speech, would we put up a monument to him in 115 years? I hope not. ∆ The Shredder thinks a monument to an office machine by SLO Creek would be spectacular at shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Godfather in the house Psychobilly king Rev. Horton Heat hits the Fremont Theater
R
(9 p.m.; 16-and-older; $27.31 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo.com) with Western swing and country boogie band Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, ska-punk act Voodoo Glow Skulls, and dirty rockers the Delta Bombers opening the show. Rev. Heat and Heath are called the godfather of modern psychobilly for a reason! It’s going to be amazing! Also this week at the Fremont, see The Green on their Road to Cali Roots tour this Friday, Jan. 18 (9 p.m.; 16-andolder; $27.31 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo. com), with Eli-Mac and Fia opening. The Green formed in O’ahu, Hawai’i, a decade ago and has become a reggae powerhouse, with a Best Reggae Album nod from iTunes (2010, for their self-titled debut), four Na Hoku Hanohano awards in their native Hawai’i (2011 and 2014, including Group of the Year, two different Reggae Albums of the Year, and PHOTO COURTESY OF GARDENS & VILLA Entertainer of the Year), and two No. 1 Billboard Reggae chart debuts, along with charting on the Billboard Top 200. They’re touring in support of their newest release, Marching Orders.
ipping guitars, thumping upright bass, smashing drums, and sexual innuendo-filled songs like “Let Me Teach You How to Eat” are what make Reverend Horton Heat and frontman Jim Heath psychobilly heroes! “Let me teach you how to eat. Let me teach you how to eat. How to marinade the meat. Let me teach you how to eat. It’s a culinary treat. Let me teach you how to eat. “Let me teach you how to bake. Let me teach you how to bake. How to grill a strip steak. Let me teach you how to bake. We can bake a cake. Let me teach you how to bake. “I’ll teach you things that you never knew. How to choke a chicken and make a meat stew. We can cook a taco in the middle of the street and really feel good. Let me teach you how to eat.” Next Thursday, Jan. 24, Reverend Horton Heat plays the Fremont Theater
bringing metal classics played mariachistyle. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” Metalachi-style! See LA-based indie rock act Gardens & Villa at The Siren next Thursday, Jan. 24 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $15 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $18 at the door). Formed a decade ago in Santa Barbara, this is a band that’s come of age.

According to his bio, “persistence has been the name of the game for Bay Area rapper Sage The Gemini. When he made the decision to rap, nobody would help him. He’d bring rhymes to his peers for beats, and no one jumped at the chance to collaborate. So, he went even harder and he did everything himself. By the age of 14, he had taught himself how to create beats, produce, and even mix and master.” “All I cared about was music,” he said in press materials. “I would stay up all night working on tracks and go to school tired. It didn’t matter. I wanted to be heard.”

SLO Rep’s youth actors take on Pride and Prejudice
I
t’s a truth universally acknowledged that an audience in possession of tickets to a Jane Austen show must be in want of a good love story. And the San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre delivered on Jan. 11, as its stage transformed into a 1800s English countryside manor while the youth of the Academy of Creative Theatre performed the classic play Pride and Prejudice on opening night. Based on Jane Austen’s 1813 romantic novel, the story follows our protagonist, the feisty and witty Elizabeth Bennet (Penny DellaPelle, Into The Woods), who is one of four daughters from a less than noble but still relatively welloff family during the Regency era. Elizabeth’s hapless mother, Mrs. Bennet (Eliana Nunley), frantically looks for every opportunity to marry her daughters off to wealthy men, as her husband’s estate is sadly entailed to a distant male cousin, the supremely awkward Mr. Collins (Phineas Peters, Lost in Yonkers). The set takes us from one ballroom to another sitting room in the homes of English nobility and upper middle-class families. Austen’s satire on country life and the plight of women picks up when we meet the arrogant, but of course handsome and rich, Mr. Darcy (Elliot Peters, Lost in Yonkers), accompanied by the also wealthy and handsome, but actually nice, Mr. Bingley (Drew VanderWeele, A Christmas Story). In typically rich, white dude mode, Mr. Darcy says that Elizabeth is “not quite handsome enough” to tempt him at a dance, while later admitting to admiring her eyes. Meanwhile Elizabeth becomes quite enamored with Mr. Wickham (Jason Gray), a soldier with a dark past concerning Mr. Darcy. But, naturally, all is not what it seems. Oh, and elsewhere Jane (Isabelle Grznar), the eldest Bennet sister, and Mr. Bingley begin to fall in love. Yes, it’s all a bit of a soap opera, but between Austen’s smart, rapid-fire dialogue and the acting chops of the kids of the Academy of Creative Theatre, it’s hard not to give in to the will-they-or-won’t-they story line. DellaPelle as Elizabeth is fiercely loyal to her sense of self, with a soft side for those she loves. She refuses to cede her ground when Mr. Darcy spurns her, saying, “I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.” Elliot Peters as Mr. Darcy takes the word brooding to a whole new level with dramatic head shakes, slumped shoulder, and abrupt exits mid-conversation. Phineas Peters as Mr. Collins manages to convincingly play the most hilarious and least self-aware character with an accent that is charmingly not quite British, Scottish, or a full-on stutter. Whether you loved or loathed the classic piece of British literature or missed it completely, SLO Repertory Theatre’s rendition of Pride and Prejudice is a charming way to pass an evening. Δ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley declares that there is no enjoyment like reading. Contact her at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Misunderstandings, witty banter, heated arguments, and love ensue in Jane Austen’s classic story. From left to right (starting with the back row): Mr. Collins (Phineas Peters), Charlotte Lucas (Katie Karleskint), Mr. Bennet (Jed Autier), Mrs. Bennet (Eliana Nunley), Mr. Bingley (Drew VanderWeele), Mrs. Gardiner, (Alyssa Mickey) Mr. Gardiner (Aiden Douglas), Lady Catherine (Carly Crow), Mary (Rachel Miller), Elizabeth (Penne DellaPelle), Mr. Darcy (Elliot Peters), Jane (Isabella Grznar), Caroline Bingley (Linnea Marks), Mr. Wickham (Jason Gray), Mr. Denny (Claire Romero), Kitty (Ella Gomez), and Lydia (Sophia Lea).
HAPPILY EVER AFTER Jane Austen’s Elizabeth (Penny DellaPelle) and Mr. Darcy (Elliot Peters) are one of those classic willthey-or-won’t-they couples.
On stage
Pride and Prejudice will show at the SLO Repertory Theatre through Jan. 20. Tickets range from $17 to $25. Visit slorep.org for more information. The play runs 2 1/2 hours, including a 15-minute intermission.
FAMILY Elizabeth’s overbearing mother (Eliana Nunley) and her two ridiculous younger sisters, Lydia (Sophia Lea) and Kitty (Ella Gomez), provide comic relief but also make it substantially harder for Elizabeth and her sister, Jane, to find proper husbands.

I love the way the little rivers and rivulets come up as the tide comes in through the estuary and the patterns and light.” Ultimately, Paz hopes that in addition to taking home a painting, viewers will also take away a new awareness of their local environment. “We’re here to benefit this gorgeous area that we live in,” Paz said. “We’re recording something that 20 years from now may look very different.” ∆

he wanted to capture it. The light, the power—all of it. It was December, and the waves at the dog beach between Morro Bay and Cayucos were wild. Atascadero artist Denise Schryver felt compelled to paint it. “I’m inspired when I have an emotional reaction to something,” Schryver said. “The thing about the ocean is it’s always there, kind of the same, but always different. It’s challenging to try and capture that.” Pastels in hand, Schryver did just that with her piece, Sundance Pastel, which seems to move rapidly with shades of green, blue, teal, and foamy white. Schryver, a member of the San Luis Outdoor Painters for the Environment, is currently showing her work in the Flowing Estuary to Living Sea: Paintings by SLOPE exhibit, which shows starting Feb. 1 at the Morro Bay Museum of Natural History.

Split Screen PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMBLIN PARTNERS
Madam justice M imi Leder (Pay It Forward) directs this biopic about a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones) and her fight for equality, which eventually helps propel her onto the Supreme Court of the United States. (120 min.)
Glen Just when I thought I couldn’t respect Ruth Bader Ginsburg more, along comes this film to show me I can. Ginsburg was one of nine women among 500 men admitted into the 1956 class of Harvard Law School, and Sam Waterson as Dean Erwin Griswold is the constant reminder to her and the other women that he’s not convinced they’re worthy. Director Mimi Leder reminds us again and again that Ginsburg is in a man’s world. The opening scene shows a herd of young bespoke suit-clad men in wingtip shoes striding toward Griswold’s law school orientation, where he describes what it means to be a “Harvard man.” Ginsburg looks around the audience, seeing man after man. What it took to continue on in the face of such dismissiveness and discrimination is nothing short of amazing. This is also the story of Martin Ginsburg (Armie Hammer), Ruth’s forward-thinking husband and the herculean effort it took them both to attend law school and raise a family. We learn about Martin’s health scare and how Ruth attended both his and her law school classes so she could take notes as he recovered. It’s a harrowing story of perseverance and a tribute to the couple’s
STAND UP AND STAND OUT Felicity Jones (standing) stars as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who made her early career about fighting for equality.

commitment to each other. Also essential to the story is the relationship between Ruth and her firstborn, Jane (Cailee Spaeny), who inspires her already driven mother to work even harder for equality so her daughter has the opportunities her male counterparts enjoy. Ruth and Martin eventually enlist the help of pioneering equal rights lawyer Dorothy Kenyon (Kathy Bates at her most acerbic) and ACLU attorney Mel Wulf (Justin Theroux) to take on the discrimination case brought by Charles Moritz (Chris Mulkey), who ran afoul of a genderspecific law. The courtroom drama that follows is inspiring and restored my faith in our justice system. Anna Ginsburg is a small but mighty force to be reckoned with, and while most are more familiar with her work on the Supreme Court, this film highlights the massive amount of work, passion, and dedication it took for her not only to rise up in her field, but to be recognized at all in the sea of men surrounding her. Right away it’s evident she has an uphill battle ahead. When the small group of women at Harvard Law School are invited to dinner at Dean Griswold’s home, it’s abundantly clear that he is unimpressed with their place in his world and quickly dismisses their reasons for attending. Once graduated, Ruth’s dream of practicing law is shot down at firm after firm, either because they simply don’t have “a place for a woman” or because “the partners’ wives will be jealous.” She is, however,
offered a job teaching at Rutgers, and while it isn’t her dream, it’s a paycheck and soon the world of academia is her focus. Martin is a brilliant tax attorney and a charming individual whose total faith in his wife’s abilities is endearing and seemingly unusual for the time. The case that sparks the beginning of change in gender equality in law is the perfect opportunity for the two to fight the good fight together. Moritz is an unwed caregiver to his aging mother, but because of his gender, he’s excluded from tax exemptions for caregivers, which were assumed to be women. Despite being told there was no way, no how to win this, the Ginsburgs carried on and won a case that’s still changing the course of history today. This is an uplifting piece of cinema, and a love poem to Justice Ginsburg and her continued fight for good. Glen On the Basis of Sex is both an important history lesson and an inspirational film for girls and young women still struggling for full equality, access, and representation. I hope parents will bring their tweens and teens to the theater as a reminder that despite staggering odds, justice can overcome tradition and the status quo. The film also works as entertainment—tax law has never seemed so exciting! The acting and direction is roundly excellent as well. Jones is wonderful as the diminutive Ruth—she plays her moments of despondency and weakness effectively, reminding viewers that even the Notorious R.B.G. is fallible. Hammer is terrific as her dashing husband, who also acts as the bridge between Ruth and her teenage daughter, Jane, who at first finds

her mother overbearing but soon discovers she’s an inspirational hero whose strength and tenacity are needed for the fight of their lives. I was so inspired by this story. I think being raised in a home with a lot of strong women made it resonate. The film’s a tribute to smart and proud women everywhere. I loved it! Anna The struggle between Jane and Ruth is so relatable, and while there is no denying her mother’s feminist streak, Jane is of the younger generation that wants protest and radical change, not just slow-to-come legislative wins. The family is a close-knit one though, and Jane’s ability to participate in the preparation for the upcoming hearing is crucial to cementing her mother’s hero status in her eyes. It’s a very sweet, relatable, and wonderfully American household that has a powerhouse of feminism behind it. When told things like “smile more,” Ginsburg struggles with being the driven, strong woman she is instead of the soft, pliable creature that men expected a woman to be back then— and, frankly, still sometimes today. The Notorious R.B.G. has been a big source of inspiration for civil rights advocates, especially in the hurricane-like political climate of late. But this woman has been kicking ass for years upon years, and this glimpse into her early work and family life is uplifting and empowering. Like Glen said, take your daughters, nieces, and any young women in your life to see this one. It’s powerful. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

Eastwood takes on the role of Earl Stone, a horticulturist and World War II vet who’s caught in Michigan running $3 million worth of Mexican cartel cocaine. Overall, this is an ambling film that occasionally delivers moments of emotional resonance. Eastwood is 88 years old, and the former hunky lead is comfortable in his skin, gifted behind and in front of the camera, and still capable of crafting an entertaining story. The Mule will be remembered as an effective late-career effort from a masterful filmmaker who’s given us classics such as The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider, Mystic River, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, and American Sniper.

Memento and Mulholland Drive, look no further. Director Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, Valhalla Rising, The Neon Demon) has called the film a tribute to Taxi Driver. I like to compare the two the same way The Office’s Michael Scott probably would, the same way he differentiates basketball from football — the former is jazz and the latter is rock ’n’ roll. Taxi Driver is jazz, but Drive is more synth-pop than rock. It’s fair to say their respective soundtracks support that claim. Both films revolve around loners driving for a living, not only for the money but to keep their sanity intact as well. The key difference is exposition. We know cabbie Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) is lonely because there’s an endless amount of narration to support it. The driver Gosling plays, simply referred to as “Driver” in the credits, doesn’t rely on the same thing. He doesn’t keep a diary or converse about his isolation in any way. Yet we seem to know, or think we know, what he’s feeling all the way through. All it really takes

Although the two have lived across the hall from each other for some time, they don’t form a real friendship until the day Irene takes her car in for repairs at the garage where Driver works as a mechanic. The owner of the garage, Shannon (Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad), isn’t just Driver’s day job boss. He also assists with Driver’s night gigs, supplying the cars he needs from heist to heist. Trouble starts brewing when Shannon proposes the two invest in a business venture with mobster Bernard Rose, played perfectly understated by Albert Brooks. Brooks’ role in Taxi Driver as Tom, the young goofball campaign volunteer, makes his turn as the big bad guy here all the more interesting.

Will is a biologist who works for Bionyne, and his specialty is transferring the genetic map of a recently deceased veteran’s brain to a synthetic form—which is usually a robot.

The constant failure has Will’s boss—a resting bitch-faced jerk— threatening to shut down the multi-million-dollar investment project, as it hasn’t produced any results or progress. Will stresses that he’s on the verge of a breakthrough and points out that he relocated his family in order to work for the company. Meanwhile, Will is set to go on a vacation with his wife, Mona; his son, Matthew; and his daughters, Sophie and Zoe. Will’s close friend and colleague Ed lends the Foster family his boat to get to their destination. As the family makes its way to the dock, a storm hits and Mona casually says she can’t see anything outside the windows due to the downpour. Then, predictably, the car almost collides with a big rig and instead hits a tree and hydroplanes off the road. When Will regains consciousness he sees that he’s the sole survivor of the accident. It takes Will all but comically less than five minutes to cry and then, like a mad scientist, plan that he’ll clone his family in order to give them a second chance at life. The film is very much like a modern day Frankenstein, but with that being said, it lacks any new style or plot twist to give it any praise. I’m surprised this film was released in theaters; it reminds me of some of the terrible Netflix originals that I can stream online just for kicks. Similar to those films, I can’t tell if it’s bad writing or bad acting that’s giving these characters such a flat existence. I honestly couldn’t tell human from clone, as both were extremely robotic. Of the approximately $30 million budget, no one decided an acting coach might be a good investment. I also can’t tell who I’m supposed to sympathize with because the protagonist is supposed to be Will, but I can’t root for him because he’s pretty much an idiot. He didn’t really think things through: remember, it took him less than five minutes to grieve over his dead family’s bodies (literally). I get it—he’s a distraught man who’s just lost his family, but he also doesn’t even begin to think about not only the law that he’s breaking, but also his friend, Ed, who’s now an accomplice. In order to avoid people coming to his door and asking questions, he takes his family’s electronics—laptops and cellphones—and starts to pretend to be each individual answering emails and text messages. Psychopath much? The movie goes in all kinds of directions and is so predictable that I wish I could have cooked up a clone of myself to watch the film. Just because the film’s poster says it’s from the producers of Transformers and you remember Reeves from The Matrix does not mean you should see this movie in theaters. Just wait until your preferred streaming services picks it up so you can judge and laugh at the film from the comfort of your home. (107 min.) —Karen

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Stadium 10 Writer-director Adam McKay (The Big Short, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Step Brothers) helms this biopic dramedy about Washington, D.C., bureaucratic insider Dick Cheney (Christian Bale), who became George W. Bush’s (Sam Rockwell) vice president, using his power to reshape the U.S. and its foreign policy. Christian Bale nails Cheney’s habit for talking out of the side of a subtle snarl, his lumbering and slouchy gait, and his measured speech patterns. It certainly helps that his makeup is transformative, but Bale deserves most of the credit for inhabiting Cheney’s skin. His portrayal also does a lot to humanize Cheney, who appears to love and respect his wife Lynne (Amy Adams)—in a Lady MacBeth sort of way—and support his daughters Liz (Lily Rabe) and Mary (Alison Pill), even when the latter comes out as gay. The film covers Cheney’s life from his drunken and loutish youth through his Machiavellian turn as the puppeteer behind George W. Bush’s presidency, and what seems clear in McKay’s interpretation of Cheney is that he was power hungry and believed the ends justifies the means. Unnecessary war, “legalized” torture, bolstering corporations and the super rich—those are Cheney’s enduring legacies. (132 min.) —Glen

From Prague to SLO Restaurant Month, with love
“N
o butter!” This is what the waitress is yelling in my general direction, standing in the middle of the dining room. She is fed up. The entire restaurant is the size of a large closet. The kitchen appears to be a tiny compartment through a curtain. The chef is a mysterious figure that might be, in this case, a ghost—or perhaps a game show host, ready at any moment to jump out and announce, “You’ve been podvedeno!” That’s “tricked” in Czech. We are seated at one of three empty tables, next to a window looking up and out onto the bustling tourist attraction known as Prague’s Old Town Square. We stopped here for a late lunch after thinking this place looked pretty stinking authentic. Plus, let’s be honest. They had a deal posted on the front door: four course meal for just 150 Czech Koruna (about 7 U.S. bucks). That’s what really snagged us. Our feet are aching from traveling around the cold, cobble-stoned city. We are ready for some authentic potato pancakes and dumplings. Something hot—anything full of carbs or meat. We were promptly buzzed in and taken down a small flight of stairs below street level (how Old World!). The tiny dining room is heavily carpeted and the bar consists of a small table cluttered with dusty bottles (perhaps we’ll be offered a shot of Becherovka, Prague’s famous herbal liqueur!). None of this would transpire. First, we are told that the four-course deal was no longer available —by the waitress yelling, ‘No!’ and ripping the menus out of our hands, the menus we had found ourselves by rooting around the dining room, as no one had greeted us when we walked in. Next, we are served the soup: “a rich broth with cognac, duck meat, seasonal vegetables, and noodles.” It took one hour to arrive and turned out to be a few frozen vegetables swimming in a watery broth with something that appeared to be the chewed end of pencil eraser. No noodles. Of course, we laugh. This is the fun of traveling. You never know just what you’ll get. However, we are pretty hungry. The soup is served in bowls the size of a child’s toy teacup and the beer is served in a comically massive mug. We don’t complain. Beer is cheaper than water in Czech Republic, so we sip the crisp, cold Pilsner Urquell and resolve to roll with the punches. We cross our fingers that the cheese plate and endive salad will arrive soon. After all, we’d had other amazing meals in Prague. Sure, the waiters had all been pretty cranky, with the exception of a fancy shmancy meal at the Imperial Cafe,
TRAIN FOOD CAN BE GREAT News flash! Train food can be killer. Flavor writer Hayley Thomas Cain’s favorite meal from a recent trip to Prague was (surprisingly) served on the train from Berlin to the ancient city. Dumplings and goulash plus delicious Czech beer for under $10? Sold.
@flavorslo FROM PRAGUE, WITH LOVE Flavor writer Hayley Thomas Cain may have been seen as downright crazy for smiling at waiters in Prague, but in SLO County Restaurant Month, you can let your friendly flag fly. The promotion continues through Jan. 31, featuring special prix-fixe menus of three courses at $30 to $40 per person. Don’t forget to tip your wait staff.
Doing OK over here?
Butter (and a lot of other delicious things) is available at a slew of restaurants during SLO County Restaurant Month, continuing through the end of January. Participating restaurants will offer special prix-fixe menus of three courses at $30 to $40 per person or other special offerings. Prices, offers, and availability vary per restaurant. Go see for yourself. For more information, visit slocal.com.
which looked like something out of Hearst Castle and was reportedly an old hangout of Kafka. We didn’t mind paying extra for pleasantries, even if we knew we might as well have one word plastered across our foreheads: “Trump.” We told ourselves that we didn’t need to be babied, like some Americans. We kind of deserved the abuse, even. Plus, wasn’t the curmudgeon vibe part of the authentic charm of Central Europe? How freeing it is not to have to exchange small talk! How swift and efficient the queues are! Our food never comes, but the beers somehow appear, as if by magic. We became delirious and half drunk. It was like the waitress wanted so see how far she could push us. First, she decided to take away all of our silverware, never to be seen again.
38 • New Times • January 17 - January 24, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com
Hadn’t it been like two hours now? We hadn’t even gotten a slight whiff of our entree or our long forgotten bread. Where was our silverware? Were we going to die down here? Now the waitress, having finally tossed a basket of cold bread on the table, is smirking with delight. We ask for butter, but she only vanishes for another half hour. Finally, we catch her, corner her, and plead again. She gives us a weird look and vanishes a second time. By now another table has come in, and she is speaking dramatic, flowing Spanish sentences and offering the newcomers shots of that famous herbal liqueur in tiny frozen fluted glasses. “Butter? Please?” Finally, she says the unspeakable: The two words I’d never heard uttered in any restaurant in any country. “No butter.” “Let me get this straight. You have, like, no butter in the entire restaurant? Like, none at all?” My sister and I share a horrified glance. A nervous laugh. I pull up the menu, thinking for sure that we must be wrong. The customer
is always wrong. This is the unofficial mantra here, and I get it. Every country’s political baggage is displayed in everyday interactions. A restaurant is a perfect example of this. After WWI, Czechoslovakia managed to remain the only democracy in Central Europe all the way till the ’30s, but, of course, we all know what came next. The following years brought WWII, brutal Nazi occupation, the rise of communism, then Soviet occupation, and finally, revolution and the formation of the new unified Czech Republic in 1993. Of course, I am oversimplifying (a totally American thing to do). Hostility and distrust? Understandable. Mostly, there is an undertone of being “fed up,” a sense that everyday folks have been put upon and are one bad interaction away from throwing in the towel. Add all this in with the sight of two boisterous, loud Americans in red lipstick, red hats, and red coats, and—well—you have war on your hands. But is this so wrong? I imagined my waitress sitting down to a meal at a fast casual chain restaurant in Southern California. She would probably have the same shocked expression on her face. The Americans—the forever new kids on the block with our own dark history of slavery, European rule, and obsession with leveling the playing field—we just want to be liked. It’s annoying, really. We want to get the fat tip, even if we must kill with kindness. We smile even when we’re faking it. Waiters overdo it, asking if “we’re all OK over here” as if it’s a therapy session, not supper. To each her own, right? FLAVOR continued page 40

I try again on the butter front, an optimist. I was always told the squeaky wheel gets the grease. How wrong I am. “We ordered ‘the three kinds of bread with three kinds of butter.’ See, there it is.” I point to the word, “butter,” as if this will help clarify everything. Our waitress, our ruler, simply laughs, offers another flat “no,” and skips away. We eat our cold bread in silence like the pigeons in the town square. The “entrees” finally arrive, although we must request new silverware to eat it: Mine, a massive plate of chopped endives, bitter and raw, tossed with a bit of sour lemon dressing with a few half-hearted walnuts. My sister’s cheese plate looks like the end

of a charcuterie platter at a good party (mostly rind and a few stray crumbles). A single grape is quartered and placed along the rim like a compass, or a dark joke: North, east, south, west. Do you know where you are? Perhaps you should go home.” We laugh and enjoy ourselves anyway, because we are Americans and we are nothing if not loud and unsinkable. Our laughter fills the tiny room, which probably annoys the chef, if he’s even back there. We tip generously. It’s not all bad. In fact, it’s a good meal because it’s a good story. My sister and I are together in a strange place, grinning—as Americans do—through the discomfort. We are asking for more than what reality wants to give us. Maybe we are just entitled. Then, we see it: A quarter-sized blob on my sister’s plate that must be some sort of soft cottage cheese? She flicks a butter knife through the substance and smears it on the cold bread. I do the same. Like that, the blob is gone, swimming in our bellies. But it is so sweet. I’ve never had better. It is butter! ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain is still proud to be an American (sometimes).

FLAVOR WRITER
New Times is looking for its next FLAVOR writer, but we’re not looking for just any articlepushing, press release-reading, food-eating, wine-drinking someone. We’re looking for that certain someone who can see the nuances that make a chef, farmer, or winemaker special—a writer who can tease the most out of an interview, a bite of food, or a sip of liquid. Someone who not only knows food, but cares about the people making it and where they came from. FLAVOR is about more than food and drink. It’s about understanding the work that goes into producing and participating in the chain that leads to your table and into your mouth—and being able to put that on paper in a way that’s meaningful to our readers.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: JOSEPHINE H. GONZALEZ AN AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ERMA GONZALEZ in the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo. The Petition for Probate requests that ERMA GONZALEZ 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: March 5, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408. 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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Shannon M. Bio 1212 Marsh Street, Suite 3 San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 January 17, 24, & 31, 2019

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: ANGELLA INEZ JAMES A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by LISA A.

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: February 5, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408. 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 Write a one-page essay entitled “2019 Is the Year I Figure Out What I Really Want.” Share if you like: freewillastrology.com. ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1917, leaders of the Christian sect Jehovah’s Witnesses prophesied that all earthly governments would soon disappear and Christianity would perish. In 1924, they predicted that the ancient Hebrew prophet Moses would be resurrected and speak to people everywhere over the radio. In 1938, they advised their followers not to get married or have children, because the end of civilization was nigh. In 1974, they said there was only a “short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.” I bring these failed predictions to your attention, Aries, so as to get you in the mood for my prediction, which is: All prophecies that have been made about your life up until now are as wrong as the Jehovah Witnesses’ visions. In 2019, your life will be bracingly free of old ideas about who you are and who you’re supposed to be. You will have unprecedented opportunities to prove that your future is wide open.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Movie critic Roger Ebert defined the term “idiot plot” as “any film plot containing problems that would be solved instantly if all of the characters were not idiots.” I bring this to your attention because I suspect there has been a storyline affecting you that in some ways fits that description. Fortunately, any temptation you might have had to go along with the delusions of other people will soon fade. I expect that as a result, you will catalyze a surge of creative problem-solving. The idiot plot will transform into a much smarter plot.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1865, Prussia’s political leader, Otto von Bismarck, got angry when an adversary, Rudolf Virchow, suggested cuts to the proposed military budget. Bismarck challenged Virchow to a duel. Virchow didn’t want to fight, so he came up with a clever plan. As the challenged party, he was authorized to choose the weapons to be used in the duel. He decided upon two sausages. His sausage would be cooked; Bismarck’s sausage would be crammed with parasitic roundworms. It was a brilliant stratagem. The proposition spooked Bismarck, who backed down from the duel. Keep this story in mind if you’re challenged to an argument, dispute, or conflict in the coming days. It’s best to figure out a tricky or amusing way to avoid it altogether.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): An imaginative 27-year-old man with the pseudonym Thewildandcrazyoli decided he was getting too old to keep his imaginary friend in his life. So he took out an ad on eBay, offering to sell that long-time invisible ally, whose name was John Malipieman. Soon his old buddy was dispatched to the highest bidder for $3,000. Please don’t attempt anything like that in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You need more friends, not fewer—both of the imaginary and non-imaginary variety. Now is a ripe time to expand your network of compatriots.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In December 1981, novice Leo filmmaker James Cameron got sick, fell asleep, and had a disturbing dream. He saw a truncated robot armed with kitchen knives crawling away from an explosion. This nightmare ultimately turned out to be a godsend for Cameron. It inspired him to write the script for the 1984 film The Terminator, a successful creation that launched him on the road to fame and fortune. I’m expecting a comparable development in your near future, Leo. An initially weird or difficult event will actually be a stroke of luck.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Psychologists define the Spotlight Effect as our tendency to imagine that other people are acutely attuned to every little nuance of our behavior and appearance. The truth is that they’re not, of course. Most everyone is primarily occupied with the welter of thoughts buzzing around inside his or her own head. The good news, Virgo, is that you are well set up to capitalize on this phenomenon in the coming weeks. I’m betting you will achieve a dramatic new liberation: You’ll be freer than ever

before from the power of people’s opinions to inhibit your behavior or make you self-conscious.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What North America community is farthest north? It’s an Alaskan city that used to be called Barrow, named after a British admiral. But in 2016, local residents voted to reinstate the name that the indigenous Iñupiat people had once used for the place: Utqiaġvik. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that in the coming weeks, you take inspiration from their decision, Libra. Return to your roots. Pay homage to your sources. Restore and revive the spirit of your original influences.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Alaskan town of Talkeetna has a population of 900, so it doesn’t require a complicated political structure to manage its needs. Still, it made a bold statement by electing a cat as its mayor for 15 years. Stubbs, a part-manx, won his first campaign as a write-in candidate, and his policies were so benign—no new taxes, no repressive laws—that he kept getting re-elected. What might be the equivalent of having a cat as your supreme leader for a while, Scorpio? From an astrological perspective, now would be a favorable time to implement that arrangement. This phase of your cycle calls for relaxed fun and amused mellowness and laissez-faire jauntiness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Trees need to be buffeted by the wind. It makes them strong. As they respond to the pressure of breezes and gusts, they generate a hardier kind of wood called reaction wood. Without the assistance of the wind’s stress, trees’ internal structure would be weak and they might topple over as they grew larger. I’m pleased to report that you’re due to receive the benefits of a phenomenon that’s metaphorically equivalent to a brisk wind. Exult in this brisk but low-stress opportunity to toughen yourself up!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Writing at The Pudding, pop culture commentator Colin Morris reveals the conclusions he drew after analyzing 15,000 pop songs. First, the lyrics of today’s tunes have significantly more repetitiveness than the lyrics of songs in the 1960s. Second, the most popular songs, both then and now, have more repetitive lyrics than the average song. Why? Morris speculates that repetitive songs are catchier. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you Capricorns to be as unrepetitive as possible in the songs you sing, the messages you communicate, the moves you make, and the ideas you articulate. In the coming weeks, put a premium on originality, unpredictability, complexity, and novelty.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In May 1927, Aquarian aviator Charles Lindbergh made a pioneering flight in his one-engine plane from New York to Paris. He became instantly famous. Years later, Lindbergh testified that partway through his epic journey he was visited by a host of odd, vaporous beings who suddenly appeared in his small cabin. They spoke with him, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of navigation and airplane technology. Lindbergh’s spirits were buoyed. His concentration, which had been flagging, revived. He was grateful for their unexpected support. I foresee a comparable kind of assistance becoming available to you sometime soon, Aquarius. Don’t waste any time being skeptical about it; just welcome it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): More than four centuries ago, a Piscean samurai named Honda Tadakatsu became a leading general in the Japanese army. In the course of his military career, he fought in more than a hundred battles. Yet he never endured a major wound and was never beaten by another samurai. I propose we make him your inspirational role model for the coming weeks. As you navigate your way through interesting challenges, I believe that like him, you’ll lead a charmed life. No wounds. No traumas. Just a whole lot of educational adventures. ∆
