Victim Witness
Assistance Center
celebrates 40 years
In recognition of victim’s rights awareness
month and the SLO County’s Victim Witness
Assistance Center’s 40th anniversary,
District Attorney Dan Dow held a rally on
April 12, renaming the center in honor of
former SLO County DA Christopher Money.
Money paved the way in 1977 to create
the first assistance center of its kind
in California. Before that, many crime
victims had little to no resources available
to them.
In the ’70s, the California Council
of Criminal Justice identified victim
and witness assistance as one of its top
program priorities. But it wasn’t until
1982 that voters approved Proposition 8,
the California Victim’s Bill of Rights—a
law that restricted the rights of convicts
and extended the rights of victims.
In 1983, the California Legislature
established a comprehensive victim
assistance center in each county in the
state. SLO County already had one.
Locally, the center aids victims with
cases, court support, crisis and emergency
services, restitution assistance, property
return, and criminal justice system
information—to name a few. Diana
McPartlan, the center’s director, said
it also provides services for victims of
domestic abuse and sexual assault.
“Right now we see about a little over
800 cases a year of domestic violence and
about 150 cases of sexual assault a year,”
she said.
During the rally, domestic abuse
survivor Layne Davis spoke about the
help she received from the center.
After 12 years of suffering physical
abuse from her ex-husband, Davis decided
she needed to find a way out.
“The Victim Witness Assistance
program, along with my assigned
advocate, were instrumental in helping
not only my recovery from the violent act
I’ve been a victim of, but in helping me
understand and navigate the complex
and, at times, confusing criminal justice
system,” she said.
In 2016, the center helped more than
9,000 victims.
McPartlan said she is anticipating a
larger number of victims reaching out to
the state’s centers when Proposition 57
comes into play later this year.
The proposition, passed by 64 percent of
voters in 2016, increases parole and good
behavior opportunities for felons convicted
of nonviolent crimes. Proposition 57 is a
continued response to the state’s initiative
to reduce its prison population numbers
in 2009.
The most controversial detail of the
proposition is governing who is eligible
for early parole. In a proposal debuted
in January, Gov. Jerry Brown excluded
sex offenders from early parole—whether
their crimes were deemed violent or not.
McPartlan said this new proposition
makes it even more important that
victims understand their rights, such
as ensuring that victims are aware of
Marsy’s Law. Passed in 2008, it mandates
courts to consider the safety of victims
and families when setting bail and
release conditions.
“Otherwise victims were in the dark
before and they didn’t really know what
was going on in their case, and they didn’t
know what the status of the defendant
was,” she said.

Supes pass oak
woodland protection
ordinance
Longtime San Luis Obispo County
residents, like multi-generational farmers
Irv and Coralie McMillan, were quick
to inject a little bit of history into the
highly anticipated decision before the
SLO County Board of Supervisors on
April 11 of whether to adopt a permanent
ordinance protecting native oak
woodlands from clear-cutting.
The McMillans and other speakers
at the podium pointed to decades-old
newspaper clippings from the Telegram-
Tribune and Paso Robles Press to
show that the debate the community
has engaged in since last summer,
when The Wonderful Company-owned
Justin Vineyards and Winery clear-cut
thousands of oak trees near Paso Robles,
was also happening more than 30 years
ago. Despite the decades of dialogue, no
SLO County Board of Supervisors had
passed a permanent ordinance to regulate
oak tree clear-cutting.
“It’s really time to break the cycle,”
Coralie said, speaking in favor of the
proposed ordinance.
After hearing 90 minutes of mixed
opinions from residents and stakeholders,
the Board of Supervisors unanimously
voted to adopt the oak woodland
ordinance.
Property owners will now have to apply
for a county permit to clear-cut more than
1 acre of oak woodland, and clear-cutting
oak woodland on slopes of more than
30 percent is prohibited. Landowners
are allowed to “trim” woodland, remove
individual oaks, and clear-cut up to
1 acre of woodland without a permit.
Clear-cutting for the purposes of
establishing a fence line or firebreak is
also allowed.
Penalties for violators include fines
of up to $25,000 and prohibitions on
planting or developing the site at hand.
Public sentiment at the meeting swayed
from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Many environmentally minded speakers
felt the regulations didn’t go far enough
to protect oaks and other native tree
species, while several landowners and
the SLO County Farm Bureau thought
that elements of the ordinance were
overreaching and overburdening.
The supervisors felt the rules struck
the right balance between conservation
and property rights.
“What we have here is a pretty
reasonable compromise,” 3rd District
Supervisor Adam Hill said.
Supervisors John Peschong (1st
District), Lynn Compton (4th Distrcit),
and Debbie Arnold (5th District) argued
that the Justin Vineyard’s clear-cutting
incident was one that the county couldn’t
afford to allow to happen again.
“One bad egg can spoil it for everybody,”
Compton said.

C think you need to destroy neighborhoods for it.’
anopies of oaks, eucalyptuses,
pines, and at least five other
tree species tower over San Luis
Obispo’s historic Sandford House. Their
intertwining branches sway in a late
afternoon wind, just as they have for
decades. The 1.3-acre property is home
to 59 trees—including one Norfolk pine
taller than 90 feet—and they provide
nesting habitat for birds like the Cooper’s
and red-tailed hawks.
Ever since noisy Cal Poly fraternities
moved out of the late 19th century
Sandford House some years ago, the
site’s tranquil urban forest has provided
a welcome buffer between the bustling
traffic on Ramona Street and Foothill
Boulevard and the adjacent residential
neighborhood—called the Anholm
District—under the Cerro San Luis
Mountain.
“It’s an oasis,” said Lydia Mourenza,
a neighbor to the Sandford House for 28
years. “It’s really a unique property; I’m
not sure what else in town would be an
equivalent to it.”
But the scene at 71 Palomar Ave. could
be in for a dramatic change. On April 4,

Hitchin’ a ride
Local regulations
remain silent on
rideshare services
E
ven though the use of app-based
ridesharing services like Lyft and
Uber continues to increase, you’d be
hard pressed to find them mentioned in
local municipal regulations.
While most, if not all, of SLO County’s
cities have ordinances and fees for
permitting, licensing, and regulating
taxi companies and drivers, many do not
provide the same for ridesharing services.
It’s an issue the city of Pismo Beach is
currently wrestling with as it considers
how to even the playing field for taxi
companies to compete with Uber and
Lyft, which usually offer rides for
customers at a cheaper price.
“I think what you have is a situation
where Uber and others have come along
and undercut the cost for other cab drivers,”
said Pismo Beach Mayor Ed Waage.
Taxicab drivers in Pismo Beach
have been paying the city for licensing,
permits, vehicle inspections, and
background checks in order to stay
compliant with the city’s municipal
ordinances. Those ordinances define
a taxicab as any automobile used
for transporting passengers for
compensation. According to a city staff
report, Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare
services conduct their own vetting and
background checks, and their drivers are
not regulated in any manner by the city.
“[The ridesharing services] are
the SLO City Council gave final approval
to a housing development proposed on the
property, for six new apartment buildings
to house 33 units. The development
involves the removal of 55 trees on the
site, and the lifting and moving of the
Sandford House to a different location on
the property. Those impacts, and others,
have neighbors like Mourenza fighting
the project.
“The birds will have nothing to come
back to,” Mourenza said.
After she and a fellow neighbor
Teresa Matthews failed to sway the
City Council with an appeal on April 4,
Mourenza is mulling over taking legal
action against the city that could force
the developer, Loren Riehl, to conduct a
full environmental impact report for the
project.
History and housing
Development has never come easy in
SLO. Recently, residents have expressed
substantial heartache over “infill” projects
like the one proposed at 71 Palomar Ave.,
which results in higher density rather
than sprawl. It’s the type of housing
growth that the City Council has vouched
for in its recent planning.
In one way, the project on Palomar
Avenue is unique in that it’s home to a
historic building amid an urban forest.
But in another way, the site fits the bill
for what the city is looking for with a
housing project—it’s zoned appropriately
technically in violation of the municipal
code, if, in fact, they are transporting
passengers for compensation,” Pismo
Beach City Attorney Dave Fleishman said
at a March 7 City Council meeting.
Pismo Beach isn’t the only city in SLO
County with taxicab regulations that may
or may not apply to ridesharing services.
The city of SLO has a similar definition
for “taxicab” and requires taxi services
and drivers to obtain the proper permits.
“That language could be interpreted
as also applying to ridesharing services,”
said SLO Transit Manager Gamaliel
Anguiano. “Usually the City Council
would set that policy.”
The city of Paso Robles has ordinances
for taxis and taxi drivers, but Susan
DeCarli, the city’s planning manager,
said the city currently has no licenses for
rideshare businesses.
“It’s something we are going to need to
address in the future,” DeCarli said. “But
at this time we don’t have anything on
the books.”
But the ridesharing services themselves
beg to differ. In an email response
to questions from New Times, Lyft
spokesperson Chelsea Harrison disputed
that the company was a “taxi” business.
“Lyft is considered a Transportation

and located close to the transit and
commercial centers on Foothill Boulevard.
“This is the type of project that we’ve
pushed for,” City Councilman Aaron
Gomez told a packed City Hall on
April 4. “There are some realities we as
a community have to face. We have not
kept up with the housing demand. … It’s
tough. It’s not fun to change. It’s not fun
to cut down trees.”
‘I’m not against all development. I just don’t
To the City Council members who voted
for the project—Gomez, Dan Rivoire, and
Carlyn Christianson—their approval was
all about boosting the city’s housing stock,
which is named as a major city goal. Since
2014, 712 housing units have either been
built or approved for construction in SLO.
But the city still needs to get 432 more
units through the planning process by
2019, according to the goals outlined in
the housing element of the city’s general
plan. Of the 33 housing units included in
the project, four will be deed-restricted for
very low-income renters—a sorely needed
area of housing.
Accompanying the council’s interest in
housing, the city is also bound by state
laws, like the Housing Accountability
Act, which take away some of localities’
discretion to approve or deny housing
projects, since housing is a major need
throughout the state.
But for residents like Mourenza,
Network Company under state law
(both by our regulator, the CPUC, and
the state Legislature, who has passed a
number of pieces of legislation regulating
the industry) and not a taxi company,”
Harrison wrote. “As required by law, Lyft
obtains a TNC license at the state level.”
Uber did not respond to emailed
questions from New Times, but has said
publicly that it considers itself a technology
company that creates apps to connect
drivers with riders, not a taxi company.
Even if cities like Pismo Beach may
disagree with those assertions, trying to
pass local regulations for companies like Lyft
and Uber can be a dicey proposition. Pismo
Beach Police Department officials claimed
that trying to catch rideshare drivers and
cite them for violating the municipal taxicab
code would be difficult because the rides
are paid for with the app, and no actual
money changes hands. If cities do try to
enforce their local policies or pass new
regulations, rideshare companies might
leave a city altogether, as both Uber and Lyft
did in Austin, Texas, after the city passed
regulations for rideshare service companies.
That’s not a fight Pismo Beach appears
to be looking for. Instead, the city will likely
further subsidize permitting and licensing
fees for taxi companies and their drivers.
“What we are trying to do here is level
the playing field since Uber is relatively new
to operations and they operate completely
without paying the city anything,” Pismo
Beach Councilmember Sheila Blake said
—Ed Waage, Pismo Beach mayor

housing in itself isn’t reason enough to
push forward a development, especially
when it has impacts on an existing
neighborhood, dozens of trees, and a
historic resource like the Sandford House.
“It seems to be housing at all costs,”
Mourenza said.
SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon felt
similarly. She sided with the neighbors’
appeal and called it the “hardest decision”
—Lydia Mourenza, SLO city resident
she’s faced so far as mayor.
“I feel like the box that says we could
build this development has definitely been
checked,” Harmon said in her closing
comments at the council meeting. “But,
for me, the box that says we should build
this development has not been checked.”
Residents are allowed 30 days to
challenge the city’s approval of the
project in SLO County Superior Court,
and Mourenza with backing from the
neighborhood, is preparing to take action.
She believes that the developer and the
city have either downplayed or ignored the
potential impacts of the project and must
consider a full environmental impact
report before moving forward.
“I’m not against all development,” she
noted. “I just don’t think you need to
destroy neighborhoods for it.” ∆

during an April 4 meeting.
In Pismo Beach, total fees for taxi cab
companies and their drivers can range
from $112 to $535 dollars annually,
according to a city staff report presented
at the council’s April 4 meeting. Those
regulations also require vehicle inspections
and background checks for drivers.
Samuel Orr, owner of Central Coast
Taxi, was the catalyst for the council
taking up the issues. He indicated at a
March 7 meeting that the cost of the fees
for new drivers could be prohibitive for
individuals who want to become taxi cab
drivers, encouraging them to drive for
app-based rideshare services instead.
“In the beginning, it could be a few
hundred bucks up front ... that’s what
makes it hard to find drivers,” Orr told
the council on March 7.
At the April 4 meeting, the council
directed staff to explore bumping up the
percentage of the fees the city subsidizes
from 50 percent to 75 percent. According
to staff, the increased subsidy will cost
about $1,809 annually from the city’s
general fund, $601 more than the current
subsidy costs the city.
Waage, Blake, and Councilmember
Marcia Guthrie indicated that the
need to keep taxis operating in the city
outweighed concerns about spending
money to subsidize a business.
“I just think it’s a really important
thing to keep this service for our residents
here,” Guthrie said April 4.
Blake agreed.
“There’s nothing we can do about Uber,”
she said. “But we can do something for
Mr. Orr.” ∆

BLACK AND WHITE
How the county’s most controversial
news site lost its five-year legal battle
“
W
e work in the public interest.”
Karen Velie repeated a credo
that many journalists live
by from her seat on the witness stand in
SLO County Superior Court.
As she answered another pointed
question from an opposing attorney,
Velie—a reporter, owner, and cofounder
of CalCoastNews—was flanked by the
massive display of a 2012 article she co-
wrote with fellow CalCoastNews reporter
and co-founder Dan Blackburn. Positioned
just to her left, in sight of the jury, the bold
headline was visible even to onlookers in
the seats at the very back of the gallery:
“Hazardous waste chief skirts law.”
The story has all the hallmarks of the
kinds of articles the website has pledged
to publish since it was founded in 2008.
It was an exposé of supposed corruption,
government malfeasance, regulatory
corner cutting, and buddy-buddy cronyism,
this time set in the world of hazardous
waste transportation in SLO County.
The only problem was that some of
the accusations made in the article,
specifically those about a local waste
management businesses owner, Charles
Tenborg, simply weren’t true. At least
that’s what the members of the jury, who
sat through a weeklong trial staring
at the larger-than-life article, decided.
They found that Velie, Blackburn, and
CalCoastNews libeled Tenborg in the story.
The jury awarded the Arroyo Grande
businessman $1.1 million in damages.
“It was a character assassination of
my client,” James Wagstaffe, the San
Francisio-based attorney representing
Tenborg, told jurors in his closing
statement, which he pointed out took
place, coincidentally, on March 15,
Shakespeare’s “ides of March.”
Wagstaffe spent much of the trial
picking the story apart, speaking about
gaps, holes, and inconsistences in
CalCoastNews’ reporting—unnamed and
10 • New Times • April 13 - April 20, 2017 • www.newtimesslo.com
BY CHRIS MCGUINNESS
unattributed sources, missing notes, and
sloppy research. He argued that Velie and
Blackburn skirted journalistic standards,
ignoring information and facts that got in
the way of their hopes for a splashy story
on government corruption. Wagstaffe
lumped them into the same category as
disgraced journalists like Stephen Glass
and Janet Cooke.
“They did not let this story go away
when the facts didn’t support it,” Wagstaffe
told the jurors. “They kept on going.”
The questionable journalism wasn’t
an accident, Wagstaffe claimed, it was
deliberate and malicious. The jury’s
verdict—handed down March 16—
agreed, stating that a majority of the
jurors found that Blackburn failed to
use reasonable care to determine that
statements in the article were false, and
that Velie knew or had serious doubts
about the validity of the statements in it.
“Rather gallingly, the defendants knew
all this information was false before they
ran the article,” Wagstaffe said.
With the verdict’s announcement, the
community remains as divided as ever over
CalCoastNews. The website’s most strident
supporters and its most virulent detractors
didn’t appear to budge an inch in their
opinions about the controversial site.
The website’s most vocal critics,
some of whom claim to be the subject
of similarly questionable reporting,
pointed to the verdict as a vindication
of their claims that CalCoastNews is, as
Wagstaffe argued, no more than a tabloid
masquerading as a legitimate news site.
Those include at least two families who
question the site’s past reporting on
the deaths of their loved ones and raise
concerns similar to Tenborg’s.
But the people who champion the site
as a truth-telling government watchdog
see the trial as further evidence that
enemies of Velie and Blackburn are trying
to silence their reporting and run the

site out of business. Both camps reflect
similar trends at the national level, as
the media grapples with an increasingly
partisan American public, which is
growing ever suspicious of inaccuracy and
bias in news coverage.
In the weeks following the verdict,
little appears to have changed in the
day-to-day operations of CalCoastNews,
which continues to publish articles. But
the long-term impact of the verdict on the
future of SLO County’s most controversial
media outlet remains to be seen. On April
10, CalCoastNews filed a motion for a
new trial, calling the damages the jury
awarded “excessive.” Velie and Blackburn
are next due back in court May 11 to
begin the process of sorting out when and
how the damages will be paid.
On a mission
From the very beginning,
CalCoastNews worked to set itself apart
from the other local media outlets in SLO
County. The site was initially founded
in 2008 as uncoveredslo.com by Velie, a
Cal Poly graduate and former New Times
reporter, and Blackburn, who’s written for
New Times as well as other publications
like The Orange County Register.
Their mission, according to statements on
the website, was to create an independent
outlet for investigative journalism in SLO
County. They believed the media’s role as
a watchdog of government was shrinking,
not only due to outsourcing and downsizing
in the newspaper industry, but also due to
the coziness of journalists and editors with
the very officials they were supposed to be
reporting on.
“When community newspapers are so
openly soft in news selection and allow
beat reporters, columnists, and editors to
become socially entwined with the public
officials and community personalities
whose activities they cover, it’s a formula
for an informational vacuum and an
uninformed citizenry,” Blackburn wrote
in a commentary published on the site in
June of 2008.
The website, which was rebranded
as CalCoastNews later that same year,
promised to fill that vacuum. In its first
month, the site appeared to deliver on
that promise, publishing stories about
alleged turmoil in SLO County’s probation
department, a controversial proposed
deal between Cal Poly’s engineering
department and the Saudi government,
and allegations of sex discrimination in
the Atascadero Police Department.
“We already have some readers who
love us, some who really, really hate us,
and a lot who just read and make their
own judgments about our credibility and
our own transparency,” a February 2008
post that celebrated the website’s first 30
days of operation, read. “To our critics,
we appreciate your taking the time to
criticize; we do what we can.”
A year later, the site began reporting
on the financial dealings of a local
development magnate, Kelly Gearhart.
By 2015, Gearhart was convicted of
wire fraud and money laundering and
sentenced to 14 years in prison for bilking
investors out of millions of dollars.
Still, in the nine years that followed
CalCoast’s founding, the website earned
its share of detractors as it continued on
its self-appointed mission as the county’s
one true bulldog news source. Some of the
most vocal critics were often the very people
they reported on, the most well known
being SLO County 3rd District Supervisor
Adam Hill, who has been mentioned in
more than 150 CalCoastNews articles and
opinion pieces. Those range from coverage
of his divorce in 2011 to, more recently, his
alleged involvement in Tenborg’s lawsuit,
which Hill denies. In a 2016 interview with
New Times, Hill, the subject of two lawsuits
brought against him by Velie, characterized
CalCoastNews as an outlet that cloaked
its personal vendettas as investigative
journalism, referring to the site and its
supporters as an “empire of hate.”
“I think they’re reprehensible in all
their actions,” he said.
The animosity between Hill and Velie
has been particularly acrimonious,
with both sides accusing the other of
engaging in personal attacks and online
harassment.
While Hill has often stated publicly
that CalCoastNews has printed false
stories to damage him, it would be
Tenborg who dealt the $1.1 million blow.
Ripped from the headlines
In the nearly five years it took to get his
lawsuit before a jury, Tenborg’s lawyer,
Wagstaffe, amassed a cache of evidence
that he believed would show the jury
that Velie and Blackburn’s story about
his client was false. The story claimed,
among other things, that Tenborg had
been fired from a previous job, received an
illegal no-bid contract from SLO County’s
Integrated Waste Management Authority,
and had encouraged Eco Solutions’ clients
to break the law.
Wagstaffe told the jury that the
evidence would prove that CalCoastNews
strayed from its promise to “adhere to the
strictest journalism ethics” in favor of a
poorly reported, yet sensationalized, story
based on rumor and innuendo.
“It’s a story that sells, but it isn’t true,”
Wagstaffe said.
 During the trial, Wagstaffe presented
witnesses and documents that raised
questions about the story and the methods
used in its reporting. Many of the
accusations about Tenborg in the story
were printed without attribution. Some
of the accusations that were sourced in
the article primarily came from unnamed
people—simply referred to as “city
employees,” without supporting details or
an explanation as to why keeping their
identities a secret was necessary.
The claim that Tenborg had been fired
was demonstrably untrue, as Wagstaffe
introduced a letter showing that Tenborg
had resigned on good terms with his
employer, then the city of San Luis Obispo.
He called witnesses who testified that
Tenborg’s contract with the waste authority
was reviewed by an attorney and approved
by its board. He argued that Tenborg
had complied with legal requirements for
hauling waste and noted that both the
article and CalCoastNews provided little to
no evidence to point to the contrary.
Wagstaffe implied that inaccuracies
in the story were more than unwitting
mistakes. At one point in the trial, he all
but accused Velie of lying on the stand.
Near the end of the trial, Wagstaffe
introduced a phone log that showed two
calls between Tenborg and Velie’s phone
numbers, four minutes for the first and
two minutes for the second, the day before
the article was published. Tenborg said
that, despite speaking to her previously,
Velie never asked him about the most
damaging allegations made against
him and his company, even during those
final, last-minute phone calls. Tenborg’s
testimony and those records stood in
direct conflict with claims Velie made
under oath that her final calls to Tenborg,
made at the request of CalCoastNews
Editor Bill Loving shortly before story’s
publication, weren’t returned.
“We’ve been hearing a lie in this
courtroom,” Wagstaffe told jurors in his
closing statements.
Taken together, the evidence showed
that the reporting of the story, and the
choice to publish it, veered widely from
established norms and best ethical
practices in journalism, according to
Venise Wagner, a working reporter and
San Francisco State University journalism
professor who was called by Wagstaffe as
an expert witness in the trial.
“There didn’t seem to be enough care
taken to find out what the truth was,”
Wagner said.
Under questioning from Wagstaffe,
Velie said that she believed “most” news
stories in general had “one or two” small
falsities in them.
“If it has a couple of small falsities, it can
still be in the public interest,” Velie said.
Still, Velie vocally defended the story in
court, and said she spent about 10 months
working on the story.
“We had interviewed dozens of
sources and viewed hundreds of
documents,” she said.
But CalCoastNews and its team of
attorneys provided little documentation
to back up the claim in court. In part,
Velie said, because her notes for the
story had been lost when her computer
broke sometime after the article was
published. In statements made after the
trial, CalCoastNews contended that it had
wanted to present more evidence to jurors,
but was hampered by the deaths of two
vital sources and that “a majority” of their
evidence and witnesses were blocked from
the trial or “excluded by a judicial order.”
In his closing statements, CalCoastNews
attorney David Vogel even apologized to
jurors for the quality of the defense’s case.
“We’re just trying to do this by the seat
of our pants,” Vogel said, later adding,
“Don’t let our representation get in the difficultly of explaining what he was
way of this case.” accused of to his then 14-year-old son.
For his part, Blackburn testified that Tenborg also said he’d been through a

the first half of the article about Tenborg, including his current girlfriend, looked him

Los Osos resident

said he had a similar
experience with
CalCoastNews when
Velie reported on the

daughter, Nailani, in
2014.

CalCoastNews article damaged his professional and
personal life. He won $1.1 million in damages after a
nearly five-year-legal battle against the website.

the story,” Buccholtz told New Times in a
recent interview.
The article that appeared on the
CalCoastNews website after his daughter’s
death is still a sore spot for Buccholtz. He
said the story inaccurately stated that
his daughter took her own life because of
“years of torment” and bullying.
Buccholtz said that when Velie
contacted him following Nailani’s death,
he told her that bullying had nothing to
do with his daughter’s suicide. While he
is quoted in the article, Buccholtz said his
words were taken out of context and that
the story was written to make it seem
like much of the information was coming
from him when it was not.
“The report she wrote was as if she spoke
to me and got her facts from me firsthand,”
Buccholtz said. “That wasn’t correct.”
Similar to the articles about
Tenborg and Steve Weaver, some of the
information in the story was attributed
to unnamed sources, such as unidentified
family members.
Buccholtz said an investigation by
Nailani’s school district and the SLO
County Sheriff’s Office concluded that
his daughter’s death was not the result of
bullying. And based on his own review of
Nailani’s diaries, social media posts, and
other evidence, he said he has no reason
to doubt their assessment.
Both the district and the sheriff’s
department backed Buccholtz up in a
Tribune article that ran one day after
CalCoastNews published the story. Buccholtz
said he had taken time away from helping
his wife make cards and planning for
Nailani’s memorial service to go to The
Tribune in an attempt to set the record
straight, something that still bothers him.
“I feel robbed,” he said. “I wasn’t there.
I should have been there.”
Unlike Tenborg, Buccholtz never took
the website to court to dispute the claims
made in the article. He said he considered
it at the time, but the financial and
emotional costs of dragging the matter
through court would have been too high.
The verdict in the recent trial,
Buccholtz said, has offered some comfort.
“Do I find some relief in the outcome of
the court case? Yes, I do,” Buccholtz said.
“I know that the public is seeing the true
CalCoastNews … that puts me at peace.”
But he said he doesn’t expect an
apology for the story about his daughter
any time soon.
“[The verdict] is going to hurt them
financially, but you can’t make someone
admit they were wrong,” he said.
Velie wouldn’t answer questions about
the 2014 story for this article.
The future and ‘fake news’
Like Buccholtz, Tenborg’s attorney
wasn’t holding his breath waiting for
anyone at CalCoastNews to admit fault
and apologize to his client.
“You will not hear, I suspect, contrition
from the witness stand,” Wagstaffe told
jurors at the beginning of the trial. He
echoed a similar sentiment in his closing
remarks, stating that CalCoastNews had
“doubled down” on its insistence that the
story about Tenborg was true despite the
evidence they were confronted with on
the stand.
“They are still doing it, and Ms. Velie …
is not getting it,” he said.
For that apparent lack of contrition,
Wagstaffe asked the jury for a hefty sum
of $500,000 in punitive damages against
Velie, specifically. The jury gave him every
penny. News spread quickly, and coverage
of the verdict landed Velie, Blackburn, and
CalCoastNews in The New York Times, not
as bylined reporters, but as the subjects of

a story about the lawsuit.
Since the verdict, CalCoastNews
continues to operate. The site hinted in an
emailed statement, which characterized
the verdict as disappointing, that it might
appeal the case.
“We are evaluating our next course of
action,” the statement read.
Whether the site’s operations will
be impacted is unclear. One of the few
mentions of the case on the site after the
verdict was a short post urging readers
to help fund further legal action via
donations to GoFundMe and PayPal. The
message indicated that, despite the loss
and taking the story down, CalCoastNews
may be mulling appealing the case.
“During the trial, the majority of our
evidence and witnesses were blocked. We
are currently considering our options,” the
March 21 post read. “We are not going to
cower to the wishes of those wanting to
shut us down.”
Nearly three weeks later,
CalCoastNews’ lawyer filed the motion
asking for a new trial.
The website’s statements rallied some
CalCoastNews supporters who sided
with the site’s claims that an inability to
submit all of its evidence and witnesses
lost them the trial.
“Anyone who has been involved with
a jury trial KNOWS that not all valid
information is given,” one reader, Shari
Lees, posted to the website’s Facebook
page. “For that reason I have no belief in
our ‘justice’ system. It’s crooked.”

A QUESTION OF ETHICS CalCoastNews editor
and former CalPoly journalism professor Bill Loving
defended Velie and Blackburn’s article in court.
One of CalCoastNews’ stalwart
boosters, local radio host Dave Congalton,
defended Velie to The New York Times,
stating she was the “only game in town”
when it came to investigative reporting.
For this article, Velie declined to
respond to questions from New Times
about an appeal of the case or the
website’s future plans. Blackburn
responded via an emailed statement late
on the afternoon of April 11.
“Of course I’m disappointed by the
jury’s decision,” Blackburn wrote. “But
right now my only priority is protecting
my family.”
Both of their names remain on
the website. Loving, who announced
that he was leaving his post as a Cal
Poly journalism professor to move to
Wisconsin shortly before the verdict,
indicated that he would likely remain
the website’s editor.
“As CalCoastNews
is a virtual newsroom,
I can continue to serve
as editor,” Loving
wrote in an email
response to questions
from New Times. In
his email, Loving said
his resignation was
not related to the trial
or verdict.
While CalCoastNews’
digging in its heels
may placate its most loyal readers,
Tenborg’s expert witness and journalism
professor Wagner said it was that same
refusal to admit mistakes that alarmed
her while she was researching for her
testimony.
“I think what was unusual about this
case was the unwillingness to go back
and check the facts,” Wagner said in
an interview with New Times. “It was
unusual to me that the news organization
was so entrenched in their beliefs despite
the facts.”
Wagner said she felt compelled to
testify in the case, not only because she
believed that the article and the way it
was reported represents a breach of public
trust, but because such cases damage
the public perception of journalism as a
whole. In a post-2016-election America,
where fears and allegations of bias and
“fake news” have been lobbed by people
as visible as the president of the United
States against venerated news outlets
like The New York Times, Wagner said
cases like CalCoastNews only provide
more fodder for people already suspicious
and distrustful of the media.
“Every time something like this
happens, it hurts journalism,” she said.
Trying to educate the public about
media literacy and being transparent
when mistakes are made could help
repair the news media’s image in the eyes
of American consumers, Wagner said. But
she also indicated that it would not be
easy, quipping that journalists were some
of the most hated individuals in America
currently—“even more than lawyers.”
She made a similar remark on the stand
during the trial.
It’s a funny joke, but before the trial
even began, as lawyers picked a jury in the
courtroom, a SLO County citizen who’d
already been picked to sit in judgment
of CalCoastNews had a joke of his own.
Speaking to some of his fellow jurors, the
man, older with graying hair, said he liked
to read news stories from conservative Fox
News, then visit websites like VICE for a
liberal perspective.
“I don’t know what to choose,” he said
with a grin. “Because everybody’s lying.”
The others laughed. ∆

Passionate fighting
S
itting in the corner, at the edge of
the bright red ring, is Julia Perez.
It’s where she feels most comfortable
speaking with New Times about her
favorite sport. Perez is a lean, muscular
female who is full of warm smiles and
recently won her fourth championship in
amateur Muay Thai fighting.
There are many reasons why Perez
enjoys defending her championship titles
in the ring, one of them being she’s a
natural competitor.
“I’ve always been pretty competitive,
I played competitive soccer, I was on a
club soccer team, I played varsity as a
freshman, and I played in a women’s
league,” she said.
But in her mid-20s Perez was looking
for something else to challenge her athletic
skills and another way to keep in shape.
She dipped her feet into cardio-kickboxing
and later karate but was still looking for
something more. After searching Google for
a kickboxing studio in the area she stumbled
upon Elite Muay Thai Academy.
“So I said, ‘Muay Thai? I don’t know
what that is,’ so I looked it up and went in
on a Saturday, and I just never stopped
going,” Perez said.
Albert Malatamban is the owner
and teacher of the academy that Perez
walked into. He practiced martial arts
at the age of 12 in the early ’70s and
began his Muay Thai practice in the ’90s.

Malatamban laughs about the first time
that he met Perez.
“I thought, ‘Oh another karate girl,’”
Malatamban said.
Perez said that Muay Thai was difficult
at first as it has different fight stances,
movements, and positions than her
previous fighting experiences.
But that didn’t stop her from embracing
the new sport and wanting to learn more
about its teachings.
“It definitely wasn’t discouraging to
me. It felt like when I was a white belt
in karate, which was my favorite time
because it was like a blank slate,” she said.
Malatamban said he liked Perez as a
student because she really listened to the
new movements she was learning and
focused on her training.
“She trains hard for every fight she has,
just like any other fighter,” he said.
He started teaching the art of Muay
Thai in the San Luis Obispo area in
1998 and speaks passionately about how
the sport is all about movements and
highlights the spiritual emphasis that is
incorporated into every part of the sport.
Before the fight, the fighter wears a
colorful cloth crown and exercises ram
muay—a dance ritual that is also a
warm-up exercise for the fighter. After the
ritual, the teacher takes the crown off the
fighter after a short prayer, and he or she
is ready to fight.

Muay Thai has been an art that Perez
has found best emphasizes her skills, but
it’s more than just a sport, it’s also an outlet.
Perez is a single mother who works in
the finance department at Cal Poly—with
her not-so-average sporting passion on the
side. Around the time of her daughter’s
birth, Perez said that she lacked the
emotional support to raise her daughter,
finish school, and start her career.
She’s now found strength and new
family members in the Muay Thai
community. The sport is her passion and
is something she’s constantly refining
with Malatamban and her conditioning
coach Ryan Joiner of Athlon Elite. She
juggles that with having a 9-to-5 job
and watching her 14-year-old daughter
continue to grow.

Y O
our main story on April 6 about
the concentration camps for
American citizens of Japanese
descent during World War II was
very well written (“Imprisoning our
own”). However, as great as President
Roosevelt was during his first
term, you failed to mention certain
important details about his dishonesty
and racism, which played a part in
some of his decisions.
First, he was not for equality
between blacks and whites in the Dixie
states of the South.
Second, during World War II when a
shipload of Jews seeking refuge from
Hitler tried to land and discharge
these refugees in New York, he refused
to allow them to enter America,

Third, prior to World War II,
Japanese Americans controlled
the vegetable growing industry in
California. For one example, there
were miles and miles of vegetables
grown on Japanese-owned and leased
land between Los Angeles and Long
Beach, Calif. After the war, Los
Angeles expansion made these fields
into asphalt and houses. There were
certain well-funded special interests
that wanted that land for urban
expansion, but first they needed a plan
to get the land as easily as possible.
They devised a plan to get Roosevelt
to remove and move these Japanese
to internment camps so they could
no longer keep up payments on their
owned and leased land. Roosevelt only
signed the executive order against
these Japanese after he received the
large political donations from those
who wanted to own that land.

Not an option
Increasing oil truck traffic
is an already denied alternative for Phillips 66
nce again, in his attempt to shill
for the Phillips 66 rail terminal
project, Mr Fonzi presents his
own set of facts (March 30, “You still
aren’t safe”). He can have his own
opinion, but not his own facts. He opines
that the tar sands crude that would be
coming down the tracks through San
Luis Obispo County poses no danger.
So let’s look at what happened on Feb.
14, 2015, when a Canadian Northern oil
train traveling near Gogama, Ontario,
derailed and exploded.
The train was laden with bitumen,
the extra-heavy tarry substance
extracted from Alberta’s oil sands.
Undiluted bitumen alone, with a flash
point of 166-degrees Celsius or higher,
is considered essentially non-flammable
in a derailment event and is rarely
considered in safety evaluations of crude
by rail.
So why did the bitumen ignite and
explode in Ontario’s -40-degrees Celsius
weather? The reason, based on research
consulted by Railway Age, is that the
diluent added to make bitumen flow into
and out of tank cars makes the blended
lading quite volatile.
This blend of bitumen and petroleum-
based diluents, known as “dilbit,” has
a low flash point. Thus, the widespread
belief that bitumen from Alberta’s
northern oil sands is far safer to
transport by rail than Bakken crude
out of the U.S. is, for all intents and

purposes, dead wrong. This may be
disruptive news for bitumen shippers,
carriers, and regulators.
Thus, flash point is the critical
factor in determining whether a tank
car breach will lead to its contents
burning or exploding upon exposure
to the pyrotechnics of a high-energy
derailment. (Railway Age, “Why
bitumen isn’t necessarily safer than
Bakken,” Feb. 23, 2015)
If you already have
rattlesnakes in your
front yard, why
invite them into
your living room?
Mr. Fonzi continues that we already
have danger on the rails … so my
answer is simply, “If you already have
rattlesnakes in your front yard, why
invite them into your living room?” We
already have risk, so why invite more.
So now, reading from the same
playbook of Phillips 66, Mr. Fonzi adds
another “alt” fact about why the project
should have been approved: Phillips
will now have convoys of oil trucks
barreling down the freeways. He’s

Anyone in doubt can verify items
one and two using their computer. As
for item three, how do I know these
details? I got this information directly
from Milton Eisenhower’s private
secretary, who was my brother’s former
mother-in-law. However, as private as
this information was kept, part of it
can be verified by a computer research.
Milton was in charge of setting up
these internment camps, of which there
were about 10, the largest and first

President Roosevelt did not sign the

NOT AN OPTION from page 16
right in that trucks are dangerous, but
Phillips does not have a permit to have
fleets of trucks coming into its Santa
Maria Refinery on the Nipomo Mesa.
In fact, the company has been fined by
the SLO County Air Pollution Control
District for already violating the terms
of its current permit that gave them
some relief to have trucks carry crude
after the Refugio pipeline burst.
Here’s what was written in the
environmental impact report that
dismisses the trucking alternative:
Given that trucking more oil to the
Santa Maria Refinery as an alternative
would increase the severity of a
number of impacts identified in the
already denied rail spur project (e.g.,
air quality, noise, transportation and
circulation, etc.), would not eliminate
any of the significant impacts, and
could result in additional significant
unavoidable impacts to traffic, it has
not undergone a more detailed analysis
in the environmental impact report
and has been dropped from further
consideration.
So now Phillips wants to make an
end run around the findings of the
Planning Commission and the Board of
Supervisors, which denied the project,
having convoys of trucks rumbling down
Willow Road in Nipomo, and making a
dangerous turn onto Route 1 to bring
trucks into the refinery.
Have they no shame? They want what
they want. Public health and safety
be damned. It seems that Phillips 66
has Mr. Fonzi in its amen choir. Mr.
Fonzi had a distinguished career in
emergency response, but I doubt he
ever had to face the broiling inferno of
a crude oil derailment and explosion,
where the only response is to let it burn
itself out.
Phillips 66 and its supporters’
rationale is that with the pipeline
down, they need the crude oil to be
shipped by truck even though they are
not permitted to do so in the volumes
that they would need to bring into the
refinery. They are being fined for more
than $100,000 for skirting the current
permitting guidelines, when they were

Principles of a
liberal democracy
Setting aside his misogynistic
remarks, I want to thank Gary
Wechter (“Thump Trump,” April 6) for
encouraging more people to read my
opinion piece, “Assigning Blame,” from
March 16. Obviously, I am not the only
one feeling angst. Just look at Trump’s
dismal approval ratings. But it’s not
just the Trump situation (a disaster
unto itself), it’s also the current far
right Republican Party and their
supporters, who are attempting to
push our country to who knows where,
that is also disturbing. Excuse me if I
“rant,” but this is scary stuff.
I have some positive suggestions for
Gary and others who are willing to
listen. First, look up “blind loyalty.”
Next, refresh yourself on the concept of
a “liberal democracy,” those principles
upon which our country was founded.
Then, try a little self-reflection on your
core beliefs and political positions and
accept some of the responsibility for
the current division in our country
that Al Fonzi is so worried about.
If this fails, Google: “Fox News,”
“propaganda,” and “brainwashing.”

Once you have some insight, try to

throw in some basic human decency

get complex. Then, we can get rid of

Opinion Rhetoric&Reason
BY AL FONZI
When words
become weapons
W
hen the left begins to discuss
integrity and ethics, you should
immediately check your wallet,
credit cards, spouse, and probably your
dog, as nothing is safe once they begin to
prognosticate upon morality in politics.
Remember, these are the same folks who re-
defined the very definition of perjury before
a federal magistrate as not really being a
crime if the offender is only talking about
sex (everybody lies about sex, right?). For the
uninitiated, I refer to the impeachment of
former President Bill Clinton.
There is of course Act 2, with candidate
Hillary Clinton violating a host of
national security laws, regulations
and policies with an unsecure private
email system over which classified and
diplomatically sensitive information
flowed freely during her tenure as
secretary of state. The recent disclosure
about monitoring of the Trump campaign,
however incidental by American
intelligence agencies, should alert
doubters to the fact that for Clinton’s
four-year tenure as top diplomat, the
Russians likely read every word she
said, granting them a mother lode of
political insight into the inner workings
of the Obama administration. She bears
no responsibility (of course) and will so
enlighten us in her forthcoming book. A
good subtitle might be, “It’s not my fault.”
The death of an ambassador and three
other Americans was also properly shoved
under a diplomatic rug with a compliant
media reassuring all “there’s nothing
there, nothing to see.” Fortunately for the
republic, the American people aren’t that
stupid and dodged a bullet on Election Day.
That brings me to the current pathetic
state of political discourse in which
any suggestion of civility regarding the
Trump administration has vaporized.
It’s absurd in the extreme to ask if “our
constitutional democracy will survive
the authoritarian degradation of Donald
Trump’s presidency,” as my colleague
Michael Latner did in last week’s column.
One would think an authoritarian
presidency would rule by decree,
irrespective of the law, and ignore the
other two branches of government. Yet,
upon issuance of an executive order
similar to that of several predecessors
restricting immigration, a single judge
impaneled 5,000 miles distant was
able to block that order with a single
pronouncement from the bench. Trump
obeyed the order and lawyers, not secret
police nor soldiers, fought the ruling
inside courtrooms, not in the streets
and not with violence. Not a single
illegal order usurping legal authority
has emanated from the White House;
no illegal arrests or violations of civil
liberties have occurred. Yet, listening
to the rhetoric of the left, you’d think we
were in Venezuela, complete with massive
food shortages and Cuban-trained
internal security forces destroying the
last vestiges of democracy.
The rhetoric continues to escalate
with pure hatred gushing from what
should be the responsible voices of reason.
During the campaign, it was extreme
leftist college professors who urged
their students and outside agitators to
instigate egregious civil rights violations
against Trump and his supporters. I
refer to the anti-Trump crowds and
assaults upon women and elderly persons
attempting to hear his message during
the campaign. America witnessed a
college professor “mace” a young female
Trump supporter on live TV as she was
being interviewed; we saw women and
elderly persons punched, cornered and
beaten by leftist mobs determined to
prevent Trump from speaking as local
police did nothing. In February, a Fresno
State University history professor openly
called for the assassination of Trump
and the killing of Trump supporters and
Republicans in general.
Words can have consequences, as the
recent Bosnian civil war attests. I served as
a peacekeeper there in 1997, investigated
war crimes and atrocities on a scale
unimaginable to most Americans. What
many don’t know is the war was instigated
by the “intelligentsia,” college professors
who inflamed public opinion, stirring
ancient hatreds with bloodstained results.
I walked the streets of Brcko
(pronounced “birch-co”), a tinderbox of
ethnic hatred, with Bill Johnson. Bill
was a Special Forces qualified Army
Reserve major assigned to the UN High
Commissioners Office in Brcko. Bill
was the tip of the spear for President
Clinton’s policy, daily walking streets with
only a sidearm, resolving ownership of
destroyed housing laden with explosive
traps or landmines replaced nightly by
ethnic Bosnians, Serbians, or Croatians slotransit.org
contesting official decisions. Brcko was the
scene of a concentration camp similar to
the Nazi death camps of WWII, complete
with unimaginable atrocities.
My role in Brcko as chief of
counterintelligence was to gain some
ground-truth on our policies; it was
discouraging at best, but the peace was
holding, thanks in large part to Bill’s
efforts. He had a staff of two junior
officers; such is the reality of American
foreign policy. The point I’m trying to
make here is that once ethnic or political
hatred transforms into violence, it’s very
hard to stop. What people, “neighbors,”
did to each other in this civil war, as in
so many others, cannot be written in this
column. What started the violence was
an irrational, unrelenting hatred for “the
other,” a symptom that is beginning to
emerge in America.
Rhetoric to the contrary, Trump was
legitimately elected president during a
time of increasing international threats.
The republic stands as do the checks
and balances on presidential power. The
rhetoric of irrational hatred, not Trump,
poses the greatest internal threat to the
survival of our republic. ∆

keeps allowing inmates to die in its custody.
Why hasn’t a supervisor taken up that

to prevent another death like that of
Andrew Holland, who died in January
in the SLO County Jail after spending
nearly two full days—46 hours—naked
in a seven-point
restraint chair
with nothing more
than a blanket
covering him.
Holland was known to suffer from
schizophrenia, and Superior Court
to be transferred to a county inpatient
mental health facility 12 days prior to his
death. Apparently, there wasn’t a bed for
Holland. Isn’t that a problem that needs
addressing? It’s also unclear whether

I claim your protocols suck, Ian.
They’re clearly inadequate, inhumane,

and ineffective.
Not only that, but according to the
Sheriff’s Office news release on Jan. 23,
Holland’s body had “no outward signs
of trauma,” while the recently released
right hand and swelling on his face, most
probably from the self-harm that landed
him in the restraint chair nearly two days
prior. Why didn’t the Sheriff’s Office’s
press release on Jan. 23 reflect those
injuries? Why don’t our supervisors find
these questions worth asking?
Holland’s death marks the 10th inmate
to die in SLO County Jail custody since
2011—the year Parkinson was elected—
but hey, supervisors, keep arguing about
committee appointments and who’s most
lacking in collegial decorum. That’s way
more important than dead inmates.
State law requires that restrained
inmates who can’t be safely removed from
restraints within eight hours must be
taken to a “medical facility for further
evaluation.” If jail staff had followed this
law, Holland would have been under
medical supervision during his “natural”
intrapulmonary embolism episode (had
it still occurred), and he certainly would
match
have had a better chance of surviving than
he had match
in jail. Likewise, if he had been
placed in an inpatient facility 12 days prior
as ordered by Judge Duffy, he would more
likely be alive right now. Jail is no place for
the mentally ill. That should be painfully
obvious to all.
So why isn’t this of concern, supervisors?
You oversee the sheriff, jail, and mental
health services. Where does the buck stop?
Whose fault is Holland’s death?
to stop people from dying in jail custody? In
fact, while you’re restrained, maybe you can
also figure out how to a) get along with one
another; b) compromise; and c) put the well-
being of your constituents above your own
petty partisan politics. Think of it as a time
out for ill-behaved children.
Meanwhile, in the $70,000 well spent
(not!) category, we have the SLO City
Council’s decision to fine SLO Fire Chief
Garret Olson and SLO City Manager
Katie Lichtig for their participation
in a satirical video played at the SLO
Chamber of Commerce annual dinner.
Lichtig, who makes a cool $230,464 a
year, saw her salary docked $2,659. Ouch!
I guess she’s going to have to go without
Russian caviar this month. Oh wait, she
just got a $2,000 bonus. Put the caviar back
on the grocery list.
Olsen took the real hit. Paid $176,852
annually, his pay was docked $5,442—the
equivalent of an eight-day suspension. Now
if there was just some way to recoup that
$61,899 left on the $70K investigation tab!
This seems like a colossal waste

he right moment spent waiting,
thinking, or reading at a coffee shop can
feel like one’s own private universe—but
of course anyone could be watching.
San Luis Obispo-based artist Julie Frankel
is a self-proclaimed people watcher. Years ago
when Frankel was a shy student studying
graphic design, she found her studio too quiet
to study in. So Frankel would head to coffee
shops to work and found herself engrossed
in people watching. At the time, she even did
a series of mixed media portraits of people
waiting on the subway.
Now, Frankel is bringing that theme of
shared, public spaces to SLO with bright, bold
Adobe Illustrator-created pieces of people
she’s observed at Scout Coffee Co., Steynberg
Gallery, Jaffa Café, Port San Luis Beach,
LAX Airport, and Starbucks. Her exhibit,
#peoplewatching, is currently on display at the
clothing boutique 2 Blondes in downtown SLO.
“I like the idea of being in public and in
private,” Frankel said. “I’m a big fan of the
third space. I find them to be very creative and
inviting spaces.”
Frankel said while the first space is home
and the second space is work, the third space is
when an individual can have a bit of space that’s
both personal and public. Think coffee shops,
park benches, beaches, and waiting rooms.
Frankel, who is originally from the East

Local indie-op act Fialta plays
an EP release show at SLO Brew
POP WÜNDERKINDS! Fialta, photographed
at Cal Poly’s architecture graveyard in Poly
Canyon, releases their excellent new EP Hell
Niño with a show at SLO Brew on April 14.
W
hen it comes to crafting pop
gems, Fialta gets it. Like the
Swedish pop act Abba, Fialta is
a two-couple band that meshes together so
perfectly it’s nearly preternatural!
The local quartet—David Provenzano
and Michael Leibovich (formerly
of Sherwood), and their spouses
Sarah Shotwell and Beth Clements,
respectively—will release a brand new
five-song EP, Hell Niño, at SLO Brew this
Friday, April 14 (10 p.m.; 21-and-older;
$10 at ticketweb.com). Like previous
recordings, it delivers lush, synth-
drenched, gorgeously refined ear worms
with whimsical instrumentation, harmony
vocals, and melodies that go to surprising
places yet satisfy expectations.
“Wake Up” opens the EP, starting
quietly before building to a jangly gallop
that mixes male and female voices and
PEACEFUL WARRIORS Katchafire, New Zealand’s all-Maori roots rock and reggae
band, plays April 14, at the SLO Guild Hall, as part of the 20th anniversary tour.

builds to a hooky chorus: “Wake up, wake
up. Why are you not hearing me? You’re
wasting time.” It’s a call to arms that I
want to hear on my morning alarm clock.
“English Guarantees” follows, a song
that could be an outtake from the Beatles’
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The members’ multi-instrumental abilities
really shine through here.
The next track, the lightly punk anthem
“Fire,” is infectiously and relentlessly
upbeat: “We were sitting out by the fire
with ashes on our tongues. Lighting up
the treetops, we were bored of having
fun. Writing on the wall, it was there
all along, but I couldn’t read you. The
shadows brought you there with a blink in
your stare. Why’d I believe you? I guided
you through the darkness but you don’t
remember me.” It’ll get stuck in your head
right quick!
PHOTO COURTESY OF KATCHAFIRE
The next track, “Palm Reading,” is
impossibly tender and charming, layered
with haunting whistling that blends
with a lush “woo-hoo” chorus. All four
members have interesting voices that work
separately and together. On this track the
percussion really stands out. It’s arresting
and beautiful.
Fialta closes their EP with a cover
of Weezer’s “Holiday,” which features a
soaring chorus that takes the melodic
punk song in a new direction. It’s clear why
they chose it as its kaleidoscopic melody
and lyrical themes are right in Fialta’s
wheelhouse: “Let’s go away for a while, you
and I, to a strange and distant land where
they speak no word of truth but we don’t
understand anyway. Holiday, far away, to
stay on a holiday, far away. Let’s go today,
in a heartbeat! Heartbeat, heartbeat.”
What a great new collection of indie-pop
nuggets! Fialta has already established
themselves outside the area by touring
as well as licensing their songs for
advertisements for K-Mart and Chipotle as
well as TV shows such as Awkward, A to Z,
Parenthood, Degrassi, and About a Boy. They
have my vote for band most likely to succeed!
Also at SLO Brew this week, check
out The Blonde Bombers on Monday,
April 17 (10 p.m.; 21-and-older; free). The
self-described “alt-edgy Americana” act
features award-winning singer-songwriter
Lacy Younger. She’s opened for Bon Jovi,
Huey Lewis, the Steve Miller Band, Kenny
Wayne Shepherd, and more. She’s joined
by her “soul sister” DeBlois Milledge,
a fellow singer-songwriter with some
serious guitar chops. “We’re an acoustic
duet and we sing a wide variety of songs
from country, blues, and folk cuts from
the ’70s—Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty,
etc.—and of course, our original material,”
Milledge said. “The show focuses on our
harmonies.” I checked them out online and
they sound awesome!
Chris Beland, who recently returned
to the Central Coast after eight years in
Oregon, plays SLO Brew’s Pint Night on
Tuesday, April 18 (10 p.m.; 21-and-older;
free). He’s got a great voice and writes
amazing songs, and he accompanies
himself on guitar and kick drum with
some harmonica thrown in.
Finally, dance electronica act Autograf
comes to SLO Brew on Wednesday,
April 19 (10 p.m.; 18-and-older; $20 at
ticketweb.com).

band Katchafire formed, and to celebrate
they’re taking their act on the road with a
massive tour that travels through California,
Nevada, New Zealand, and Hawaii.
Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents
bring Katchafire to the SLO Guild Hall
on Friday, April 14 (7 p.m.; all ages; $20
presale at ticketfly.com or $25 at the door).
Inna Vision opens.
Formed in 1997 by lead guitarist
Grenville Bell and sons Logan (lead
vocals) and Jordan (drums), the group
has remained a family affair from the
beginning when they started playing Bob
Marley-inspired original music in New
Zealand’s bars and clubs. With a fan base
of thousands, their debut album, Revival,
sold an astounding 45,000 copies—
more than double platinum in sparsely
populated New Zealand.
It wasn’t long before they outgrew New
Zealand and took their act to Hawaii,
where their popularity exploded and they
headlined the 10,000-capacity Waikiki
Shell. In the last couple years, they’ve
toured throughout the Pacific from
Australia to Guam and Saipan.
They put on a great live show, and
seeing them in the intimate SLO Guild
Hall ought to be amazing.
Dreamers
Cage the Elephant has a pretty
improbable success story. Founded in
Bowling Green, Ky., the band was composed
of clock punchers in dead-end jobs. Matthew
Shultz was a plumber who felt trapped
and thought if he didn’t leave he’d be stuck
there for life. He joined Brad Shultz, who
was formerly in telemarketing, to work at a
sandwich bar—not exactly vertical moves
on their part. Daniel Tichenor worked at
a hardware store. But they joined up with
Jared Champion, Nick Bockrath, and
Matthan Minster, signed with Relentless
Records after showcasing at SXSW, wound
up opening for Queens of the Stone Age in
Canada, and then moved to London before
their first album was released.
Their eponymous release was well
received, as was the follow-up Thank You,
Happy Birthday. Their third, Melophobia
(which means fear of music), also
continued to establish the band’s rock bona
fides. Their fourth, however, cemented
their star quality. Tell Me I’m Pretty won
the Best Rock Album Grammy Award,
beating out Blink-182, Gojira, Panic! at the
Disco, and Weezer.

Elephant will make a stop on their “Live

Longtime A Prairie Home Companion
host Garrison Keillor called BeauSoleil
“The best Cajun band in the World!”
He may just be on to something. The
Grammy Award-winning super group

This one’s more than a week away, but
the intimate concert and dinner show may
sell out, so if you want to go, get tickets
now for the return of Chris Hillman and
Herb Pedersen, who play on Saturday,
April 22, at Nipomo’s Edwards Barn (5
p.m.; all ages; $100 by contacting John
Truman at tickets@odox.org or calling
206-6904).
This evening of folk, country, and
bluegrass music features legendary
singer-songwriter Hillman, a founding
member of The Byrds and The Flying
Burrito Brothers, and a founding member
of The Desert Rose Band with Pederson.
The longtime collaborators are playing
this benefit concert for the iconography
project and Ethiopian charity of the
Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in
Santa Maria.
According to bio materials, “Hillman
is also a member of the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, a four-time
Grammy nominee, and a recipient of
the Americana Music Association’s
Lifetime Achievement Award. Herb has
performed and recorded with numerous
notable bluegrass and country musicians
over the decades. As an acoustic duo,
Chris and Herb have recorded several
successful albums and CDs, including at
the Edwards Barn in 2009.”
The event features a Mediterranean
dinner catered by the Central Coast’s
Hapy Bistro and Santa Ynez Café. There’s
also a no-host wine bar available. Don’t
miss this down-home concert by two iconic
American musicians.

SPUD’S STORIES Spud (Ewen Bremner)
channels his addictive personality into writing his
and his mates’ stories.
much about drug addiction, while it does
still haunt the group. This time around
the story is really about the relationships
between them and how time and betrayal
play off of one another. I loved seeing
these characters 20 years later, whether
they were fighting the same old demons or
brand new ones, and while it’s a different
film from the first, it carries the same
head-tripping feel through clever shots
and wicked humor.
Glen One of the reasons the first film
resonated with audiences was its heart-
wrenching exploration of addiction and
its effects. Remember that it came out
four years before Requiem for a Dream,
which was another effective addiction story
Split Screen
have been friends since they were kids,
which Boyle establishes with what looks
like old 8mm film stock. With that much
history together, they know each other
intimately, and even though they’ve
transgressed against one another, they’re
connected through nostalgia. It also helps
that once again, the soundtrack is as
propulsive as the storyline. This is a great
kinetic ride.
Anna The soundtrack with its pulsing
energy really does kick T2 up a notch.
I have to give it up to the actors as
well; they all revisited these characters
without letting them feel stale. Begbie
is a straight-up psychopath, his skin
practically humming with charged
hatred. It’s a great performance by
Carlyle. Spud is just so damn likeable and
funny, despite his many failed attempts
to rise out of the slum of addiction and

All aboard!
but without the humor of Trainspotting.
Plus, the original Trainspotting had
commentary not only on addiction but
also poverty and neglect. As a sequel, T2
crime. Mark and Simon are like brothers,
their affection for each other overruling
their animosity over past wrongs. It’s a
group of pretty unlikeable characters,

D
anny Boyle (28 Days Later…,
Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours,
Steve Jobs) directs this sequel to
his 1996 film about the Edinburgh drug
scene and Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor),
a heroin addict trying to get off dope.
It’s 20 years later, and Renton, now
clean, returns to Scotland and reunites
with his old drug buddies Simon “Sick
Boy” Williamson (Jonny Lee Miller) and
Daniel “Spud” Murphy (Ewen Bremner),
as well as the pugnacious psychopath
Francis “Franco” Begbie (Robert Carlyle)
from whom he stole drug money 20 years
earlier. (117 min.)
Glen I think the magic of Trainspotting
and T2 are the likeability of the
characters. Though they have little to
no loyalty; though they lie, cheat, and
steal, they’re still somehow engaging.
I can’t help but root for them—even
Begbie, a violent psycho, who clearly
loves his wife and son. It also helps that
Boyle is a helluva director who creates
unbridled cinematic energy. He’s always
willing to throw in a fantasy tangent or
use animation or film trickery to make
a point. Like in the first film, Mark is
front and center. It’s really about his
interaction with his old mates. He first
goes to see Spud, who’s still an addict at
heart, though he’s been trying to go clean
so he can reconcile with his longtime
partner, Gail (Shirley Henderson),
and son, Fergus (Charlie Hardie, Kyle
Fitzpatrick). Spud is by far the most
sympathetic character, and the goofiest.
He provides the film with much of its
humor. Simon, off heroin but now a
cocaine addict who blackmails sex addicts
with the help of his girlfriend, Veronika
(Anjela Nedyalkova), still holds a grudge
against Mark and plans to befriend him
only to punish him for stealing money
and ruining his life. Hovering around
the perimeter of these four is Begbie, who
escaped from prison and has returned to
burglary until he can find and kill Mark.
The film is a romp from beginning to end
as these big personalities bounce off one
another. Though there’s no trust, there’s
a lot of history between them and a lot of
love as these broken people try to
find a way forward.
Anna It’s pretty amazing how much
I find myself rooting for this group
of low-life misfits. For the most part
they have no qualms about cheating
or beating each other, lying,
stealing, and squirming their way
out of anything that they can. While
Mark feigns an idyllic life in Amsterdam,
complete with not just sobriety, but a wife
and kids, his ruse can’t outlast his desire
to return to Edinburgh and the group he
left behind 20 years prior. Despite a rough
initial encounter with Simon, the two
are soon thick as thieves and scheming
at their next attempt to get their hands
on a bunch of money. T2 had quite a
bit of recall to the first film, interlacing
flashback scenes and weaving flashes of
memory into the storyline, something
that Boyle managed to do very well.
Unlike the first film, the focus is not so
can’t really muster the originality or social
relevance of the first, but as a character
study of post-addiction life, it’s really
entertaining. One of Mark’s wisdom bombs
to Spud is to stop trying to not be an addict
because he is one and will always be one;
what Spud needs to do is get addicted
to something else. He tries running and
boxing, but it’s really Veronika who helps
Spud land on the activity that can channel
his addictive personality into something
good—storytelling. He begins to write his
and his mates’ stories, and seeing as how
these films are based on Irvine Welch’s
novels, it makes sense. These characters

yet somehow I’m still rooting for these
guys. While it can’t muster the same raw
energy of the first film, T2 not only stands
up as a sequel but as a film all on its own.
Boyle incorporates enough of the first
film’s footage and references to not
leave the audience in the dark, even
if they never saw the original. At the
Palm’s great prices, this film is worth
catching any time, especially if you

Pick Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters,
Dreamgirls, The Fifth Estate, Mr.
Holmes) directs this live-action adaptation
of Disney’s animated musical fairy tale
about a young prince (Dan Stevens)
trapped in the body of a beast, who
can only be freed by true love, but who
would love him in his ghastly form? His
improbable chance arrives in the form of
Belle (Emma Watson), the only woman to
visit his castle since it became enchanted,
who comes to plead for the release of her
father Maurice (Kevin Kline)—imprisoned
for stealing a single rose from the Beast’s
property. Meanwhile, Gaston (Luke Evans),
the village’s pompous braggart, pines for
Belle’s hand while his obsequious sidekick
Lefou (Josh Gad) struggles with his
conscience over his friend’s behavior.
The performances were roundly
fantastic! Watson is on point as Belle,
and Evans and Gad are both great as the
infuriating duo. The Beast is largely CGI,
but Stevens’ voice work is effective.
I also thought the voice work by the
enchanted objects—Lumiére (Ewan
McGregor), Cogsworth (Ian McKellen),
Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson), Chip
(Nathan Mack), Madame Garderobe
(Audra McDonald), and Maestro Cadenza
(Stanley Tucci)—was wonderful. They
were all fully formed characters.

THE BOSS BABY
What’s it rated? PG
What’s it worth? Streaming
Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre,
Stadium 10, Park, Galaxy
Going into The Boss Baby, I knew Alec
Baldwin was already capable of hilariously
portraying a baby in a suit via his
appearances as President Donald Trump
on SNL, so I knew I was in for at least a
moderately good time. And while The Boss
Baby draws some chuckles, it may not be
worth a full priced movie ticket.
Written by Michael McCullers (Mr.
Peabody & Sherman, Baby Mama) and
directed by Tom McGrath (Puss in Boots,
Shrek the Third), The Boss Baby tells the
story of Tim (Miles Christopher Bakshi), a
happy and loved only child whose world is
turned upside down when his mom (Lisa
Kudrow) and dad (Jimmy Kimmel) bring
home a new baby brother.
But Tim thinks something is off about
the new baby. He swears his new brother
arrived in a taxi and wears a suit, and that
baby definitely talks when Tim’s parents
aren’t around. When Tim catches him on the
phone, his “brother” introduces himself as
Boss Baby (Baldwin) and tries to scare Tim
into keeping his mouth shut by claiming he
can take all their parents’ love so there’s
none left for Tim. (I know, dark, right?)
But Boss Baby doesn’t really care about
things like love and family; Boss Baby has
a job to do. See, all babies come from a
place called Baby Corp., where babies are
assigned to a family or baby management.
Supervisors like Boss Baby drink magic
formula that keeps them young and
pinchable, while maintaining the brain of
a grownup. And it turns out that babies
have a mortal enemy: puppies. (I know it’s
a tad ridiculous, but it’s the premise we’re
given.) Basically a super cute puppy is
about to be released by Puppy Co. and the
babies have to stop it otherwise people
might love puppies more than babies. Tim
agrees to help Boss Baby with his job so
that he can go back to life with just him
and his parents. You can guess how the
story unfolds from there.
Given that the Warner Bros. animated
film Storks just came out in December, it
feels like DreamWorks Animation is now
overloading the movie market with baby
origin stories (We know how babies are
really made guys). If you’ve got a kiddo
in your life, then watching The Boss Baby
isn’t a bad way to spend an afternoon.
Otherwise, catch the film once it’s on
streaming sites or Red Box. (97 min.)

A hard-driving journalist, Lee Strobel
(Mike Vogel), was exactly where he
expected to be at work: on top. His award-
winning investigative reporting recently
earned him a promotion to legal editor at
the Chicago Tribune. But things weren’t
going nearly as well at home, where his
wife Leslie’s (Erika Christensen) newfound
faith in Christ went against everything
Lee believed—or didn’t believe—as an
avowed atheist. Utilizing his journalistic
and legal training, Lee begins a quest to
debunk the claims of Christianity in order
to save his crumbling marriage. (112 min.)

Pick In his directorial debut, actor-writer Jordan
Peele (Keanu, Key and Peele, Rubberhead,
MADtv) helms this mystery-horror film about a young
African-American man named Chris Washington
(Daniel Kaluuya), who’s in a mixed-race relationship
with his white girlfriend Rose Armitage (Allison
Williams), who decides it’s time for him to meet
her parents—Dean (Bradley Whitford) and Missy
(Catherine Keener)—so they head to her family’s
estate. When they arrive, he discovers the area’s
black residents behave in bizarre ways, and when
he’s warned to “get out,” he discovers it’s not so
easy to leave.
The gore was convincing, the acting roundly
competent, and the story fresh enough not to
wallow in horror and mystery cliché. Currently,
the film has a 99 percent critic rating on
rottentomatoes.com, and I can see why. I’ll

soldier via cyber-enhancement. Now she goes
after the world’s most dangerous criminals and
terrorists, but when she meets a terrorist named
Kuze (Michael Pitt), she discovers everything
she thinks she knows about herself is a lie.
It’s not terrible by any means, and sci-fi

Three New Yorkers’ golden years have never
looked so exciting in Going in Style, a modern-
day remake of the 1979 movie.
Cash-strapped, pissed off, and desperate
after their hard-earned pensions are cut in
a company buyout, retirees and friends Joe
(Michael Caine), Willie (Morgan Freeman), and
Albert (Alan Arkin) band together to rob a bank
and take what they’re owed. On their heels
is the FBI, led by Special Agent Hamer (Matt
Dillon).
Despite solid performances from the lead
trio, Going in Style is pretty formulaic from
beginning to end and doesn’t generate quite
enough laughs to be memorable. It’s not for
a lack of effort, though. Caine, Freeman, and
Arkin didn’t just phone it in for this comedy.
Each character is fairly well thought out with
unique backstories and personalities. Joe is
about to lose his house, where his daughter and
granddaughter also live, thanks to a predatory
mortgage loan. Meanwhile, Willie finds out he
needs a kidney transplant, but lives far away
from his family because of his financial ruin.
Albert, the cynic of the three, is pretty much
waiting for death until he unexpectedly falls in
love with a grocery store clerk and finds a new
zest for life.
Without a doubt, this flick was first and
foremost made to have a chuckle about three
senior citizens attempting a bank robbery. That’s
why it’s funny, but it’s also why it has a low
ceiling. Going in Style delivers, most notably
during a ridiculous test robbery of a market that
goes awry. The movie predictably builds toward
the bank heist the whole way. Thankfully, Going
in Style offers a little more than that, reflecting
on broader themes about death, family, legacy,
and capitalism. (97 min.)

PERSONAL SHOPPER
What’s it rated? R
What’s it worth? Streaming
Where’s it showing? The Palm
If you have a guilty pleasure for fashion,
don’t mind nudity or blood, and are dying to
see Kristen Stewart interact with supernatural
beings that don’t sparkle, then Personal Shopper
might be for you.
The movie is about Maureen Cartwright
(Stewart), who works in Paris as a personal
shopper for a high-profile fashion icon named
Kyra (Nora von Waldstätten). Maureen moved to
Paris shortly after her twin brother, Lewis, died
there, since the two of them had made an oath
that whichever of them died first would “send
the other a sign.”
Maureen is a fascinating character. She
struggles with whether or not she believes in
the afterlife, despite encountering multiple
ghosts throughout the movie. She claims to hate
her job, yet gets a thrill out of secretly trying
on the clothes she buys for Kyra. She’s also
very relatable for young adults still figuring out
their lives, as she has no idea what she’ll do
or where she’ll go afterward if she ever gets
that sign from Lewis. Stewart does a great job
of making Maureen likeable and interesting,
which is pretty much the only thing that makes
the movie watchable.
The plot feels a bit disjointed and is
constantly throwing false alarms at the
viewer. None of the ghosts are explained, so
it’s unclear exactly how many of them there
are or why they’re reaching out to Maureen,
except for the one encounter that was probably
Lewis. Partway through the movie, Maureen
starts receiving mysterious text messages, and
although the audience does eventually learn
who the sender was, that entire subplot is at
best very loosely connected to the rest of the
storyline. Most viewers will be left unsatisfied
with several questions about the plot.
Personal Shopper is worth watching if you’re
a Stewart fan. The cast does a fantastic job
and a few of the ghost scenes will give you

THE INTERNATIONAL MENʼS MARCH TO
Eroica California celebrates pre-doping
bicycling with a bike display and ride
I
t’s Saturday, April 8, and I’m in Paso
Robles’ downtown park surrounded by
vintage bicycles. Dozens are on display
as part of Eroica California, a vintage
cycling event inspired by L’Eroica, Italian
for “The Heroic,” a 127-mile ride that
happens annually in Gaiole, a Tuscan
town that’s also Paso’s “sister city.”
Today is the Concours d’Elegance bicycle
display, and tomorrow participants in
period attire will ride many of these
vintage bikes between 40 and 127 miles,
depending on the route they signed up for.
Maybe I should back up. Last night,
I was at the ultra-swanky Allegretto
Vineyard Resort, where Eroica held a
posh VIP meet-and-greet and media
event. I got to nosh on venison chops,
risotto balls, and salmon crisps and
listen to speeches in Italian, Spanish,
and English. This is a true international
event with rides in Italy, Spain, Japan,
England, and soon Canada. Paso is the
site of the only Eroica in the U.S.
First I meet Beth Telford, a volunteer
who quips she’s actually a “volutold” since
her mom—Hospice Events Coordinator
Gracie Rey—makes her come.
“My mom’s been doing events all her life
and continues to, so I always help out,”
Beth says. “It’s for a good cause.”
It sure is. My dad was in hospice care
in my parents’ living room three years
ago, and while it’s never easy watching
someone at the end of his life, I’m sure
glad my dad was home where we had
24-access to him and not in some cold,
sterile hospital. The Hospice volunteers
who came by were a real blessing during
a difficult time.
Hospice Executive Director Kris
Kingston-Barker reminds me that
Hospice SLO is a volunteer organization
that doesn’t charge for its services
and relies on community donations,
fundraisers, and grants, which is
pretty amazing as their 200 volunteers
compassionately assist with more than
6,000 individuals annually.
“This is one of our favorite events,” Kris
adds, “and we could not survive as an

organization without events like this, so
we thank Eroica with great gratitude.”
Eroica is, without a doubt, a very cool
idea. During the evening I see Giancarlo
Brocci, who founded Eroica in 1997 in
response to his disgust at the doping
scandal in professional bicycling. He
wanted an event that celebrated the
purity of people on bicycles using what
stamina they have to power themselves
through the beautiful Italian countryside.
The first year there were 97 riders; in
2016, Eroica Italia had 7,200!
This marks just the third year for
Eroica California, and it gets bigger
and better every year. Organizers
estimate between 850 and 1,000 riders
will participate in the ride. Who knows,
maybe one day we’ll have 7,000, too.
I also meet Luciano Berutti, the
75-year-old unofficial “face of Eroica,”
who attends many of these international
events. The septuagenarian is a walking
advertisement for the power of fitness
through cycling, and his fans were excited
to meet him. This is a real community.
Back at the Paso park, there’s a real
buzz in the air as folks wander around
checking out the display bikes, visiting
vendors, or perusing the vintage bike
parts swap meet. Tomorrow they ride
through the vineyard- and oak-covered,
lush green hills of Paso Robles, making
literal the event’s motto: “The beauty of
fatigue and the thrill of conquest.” Δ

Biodynamic bash!
This April 15, experience an earthy escape at
Branch Mill Organic Farm
R
olling down the dirt driveway into
Branch Mill Organic Farm, I am
instantly captivated by the sheer
abundance of color. Fresh from recent
rains and flush with spring possibility,
the brushstrokes of Mother Earth are
staggeringly beautiful.
Bold poppies have taken over the
entire entrance to the farmhouse, nestled
within Arroyo Grande’s green and brown
agricultural patchwork. We’re only a few
miles from the downtown village, yet
these flowers—a collection of golden and
creamy petals—have transported me to
an entirely different world.
Tall sprays of lavender, a massive
avocado tree, and a thriving
permaculture forest greet visitors to this
sacred space. There’s also owner/farmer/
tour guide Ruth Madocks, who’s always
working on some daily task: feeding a
22-chicken flock, inspecting the crops,
turning compost.
Today, she and her loyal farm crew are
hyper focused on weeding (as you may
already know, rains bring poppies but
also lots of vigorous overgrowth).
After all, they’ve got guests coming.
Earth Day is just around the corner.
“Today’s a work day, so you’ll get to
meet the whole gang,” she says, beckoning
me into her flourishing domain. First,
I have to take a quick tour of the farm’s
yoga studio, which is clean and serene—a
far cry from the dirt and straw outside.
There, in the adjoining kitchen, is
where Madocks makes the therapeutic
tinctures, salves, candles, and sprays that
locals love so dearly. I could write a whole
story about these bottles alone, but that’s
not what this article’s about.
The heart of this tale lies in Branch
Mill Organic Farm’s ability to bring
different people together to celebrate
this big blue ball we all call home.
The gathering place has served as
a welcoming destination for artists,
traveling farmers, New Agers, and plain
ol’ locals since 2010.
What brings them here? They come to
pick tomatoes, take healing yoga classes,
commune with nature, perform full moon
ceremonies, dine on farm-to-table dinners,
and—each April 15—to celebrate Earth
Day (which is on April 22) in a flurry of
soul-nourishing rituals.
This year’s event is expected to draw
more than 500 people with a lineup of
live local music, children’s activities, yoga
Branch off
On Saturday, April 15, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Branch
Mill Organic Farm and Retreat Center in Arroyo Grande
will be transformed into a natural wonderland with music
by Zen Mountain Poets, To Wake You, Bear Market
Riot, Organic Family Tree, Robin Liepman, and more.
Farm tours, beer and wine, yoga, solar powered wagon
demonstration, food vendors, workshops, arts and crafts,
a raffle, and kid’s activities will be on hand. Tickets
are $5 (children are free). Funds go back to the Branch
Mill Organics nonprofit. The farm is located at 2815
Branch Mill Road in Arroyo Grande. For information and
directions to the farm, go to branchmillorganics.com.

Festival
and dance workshops, local food and craft
vendors, beer, wine, raffles, and more.
Madocks, a former ESL teacher for
more than three decades, loves the
educational aspect of bringing visitors to
the certified organic 10-acre farm. Tours
will be available throughout the event,
which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Farm volunteer Karoline Hausted got
involved with the land through Madocks’
full moon ceremonies, which unfold under
the stars and around a crackling bonfire.
The local musician plays in the band To
Wake You, and she’s curated a lineup of
fellow musicians to breathe sonic life into
the Earth Day event.
“People are always dancing by the end
of the night,” Hausted says, taking a
break from her own pile of weeds. “It’s a
little unusual for a farm to put on music,
have a stage, and especially to provide
a small stage for kids to experiment
with music, too. We want to explore the
spiritual nature of making music.”
That smaller kids’ music stage will
vibrate with commotion within the farm’s
6,000-square-foot green house, where
edible flowers, squash blossoms, and
sunflowers add to the au natural decor.
On this day, I find thousands of starter
plants and sprouts reaching toward the
heavens. It’s warm and sunny in this
manmade womb—a perfect place for
kiddos to run free, bang on tambourines
or take part in a communal mural.
Back outside, our tour continues with
even more luscious leafy things.
The main market garden is in
transition from winter to spring,
featuring big tufts of garlic tendrils,
carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower,
broccoli, and more. Much of the produce
goes to the SLO Natural Foods Co-Op,
although restaurants love to use the
produce, too. Over the winter, the farm
produced 15,000 pounds of winter squash
and pumpkins.
Madocks takes me inside a cool storage
room, where the last of that precious crop
is stowed away. She holds out the veggies
as if they were gold.
“This is what’s going to Big Sky this
week: red curry Hubbard, butternut, and
kabocha, which is so sweet and flavorful,”
she says. “Brush it with olive oil and bake
it. There’s nothing better.”
During the Earth Day event on April
15, visitors can chow down on farm-fresh
salads grown right here in this soil.
Looking around, the plants look healthy
and—well—delicious.
That’s in large part thanks to
Timothy Hollingsworth, who considers
the physical, chemical, magnetic,
electrical, biodynamic, and homeopathic
nature of plants.
He’s here to spray his proprietary
blend of Green Gold Naturals organic
plant accelerator in preparation for the
upcoming shindig. Hollingsworth uses
the spray in tandem with the moon cycles
BIODYNAMIC BASH Branch Mill Organic Farm will play host to a bevy of earthy
delights on Saturday, April 15, benefitting the nonprofit’s mission to promote sustainable
ag education. The fun includes yoga and dance workshops, arts and crafts, kids’
activities, food and wine vendors, live music, and tours of the farm’s thriving permaculture
food forest, biodynamic crops, and vibrant greenhouse.
(an ancient practice) to work with—not
against—Mother Nature.
“When you give the plants too much of a
good thing, it’s like eating a jar of peanut
butter. But if you give them just what they
need, they love it,” he says, holding up the
unassuming jug. “What this does … it just
makes the plants grow like crazy. It’s the
magic of the universe right here.”
Cherri Rodriguez, whose title is solely
to “give love to the garden,” knows
this magic works well. Barefoot and
suntanned, she’s crouched over a raised
planter bed marveling over a patch of
unexpected spinach thriving just under
the overgrown arugula. Sometimes
nature has a way of surprising us all.
She and her partner, Frank Fernandez,
had been working on communal farms for
years when they settled at Branch Mill.
Frank is a character full of knowledge.
He shows me the farm’s food forest, a
major point of pride.
“Permaculture is about letting nature
take its course, while working with
certain plants that will work well in the
environment,” Fernandez says.
He shows me the man-made swale that
encourages rain water to collect in its
gutter (massive tanks are also used to
collect this precious resource).
At first glance, the farm’s 4 acres of food
forest looks like a collection of random
fruit trees, veggies, and flowers, but
Fernandez knows better.
Beans are allowed to grow wild and are
then tucked back into the earth to give a
boost of nitrogen; garlic chives are planted
next to strawberries to keep pests at bay;
neon orange edible calendula also warns
off bad bugs, while attracting the good.
It is this interconnected web that we—as
humans—can learn from on Earth Day.
But this beloved Earth Day event
almost never happened.
“Three years ago, the first year we put
together the event, we had a founding
member, Ted Duncan, pass away in a car
accident right before Earth Day,” Madocks
says. “We thought, ‘Should we still do the
event?’ Well, we did it in honor of Ted,
and we wrote a poem for him. Everyone
loved it so much, we decided to do it again.
We’ve kept going and are still using his

mission statement today.”
That mission statement is threefold:
to show the public where healthy,
sustainable food comes from; to
provide a retreat center to enhance
personal growth; and to offer volunteer
opportunities that foster a sense of
community.
These are the invisible seeds that are
growing at branch Mill Organic Farm.
As farm volunteer Hausted put it so
beautifully while working in the field,
“This place is not only about farming, it’s
about growing as a person.” Δ

Allow the juices of the tomatillos to ooze

on what you’re going for.
Like most delicious things, this salsa

idea is to have way too much of the stuff,
so you can have an excuse to call over your

NOTIFIED
IN AN EMERGENCY?
• A key step in preparing for emergencies is knowing the ways in
which you may be notified. In San Luis Obispo County, officials will
utilize different public alert and notification systems based on the
type and severity of the emergency. Some of the options available
include the Early Warning System sirens, the Emergency Alert System
(EAS), and Reverse 911. • Should an emergency occur at Diablo
Canyon Power Plant that requires the public to take action, the
sirens and EAS would be the primary method of public alert and
notification. These systems provide rapid and consistent information
throughout the Emergency Planning Zone. • During an emergency,
it is important to stay tuned to local radio and TV stations to receive
current information and any actions you may need to take.
• For more information on how you can be kept informed of local
emergencies, please visit: www.slocounty.ca.gov/oes
or call (805)781-5011.

Eden Memorial Grief Support

The death of a beloved pet is one of life’s toughest challenges.
Our pets, who love us unconditionally, are in many ways
eternal children. They depend on us for food, love, and
shelter. So how do we deal with our grief when they are no
longer with us?
Most importantly, grief is individual. One person may talk/
share stories about their
pet; while another person
may feel like pulling the
covers over their head and
crying. There is no right
or wrong way to grieve,
nor is there a time frame.
As General Manager of
Eden Memorial Pet Care, I
have clients who grieve for
weeks, sometimes months.
It’s important to grieve at your own pace and to surround
yourself with people who understand and who can help.
There are resources within SLO County – Pet Support
Groups with local SLO Hospice and professional grief
counselors. Seek the help and support you need.
Here are the general steps of grief:
Shock, Denial, Disbelief, Anger, Spiritual, Bargaining,
Depression, Acceptance/Recovery
Visit Eden Memorial’s “Resources” page for local
grief support help & information.

the minor do require such pro-

2. If a parent of the minor ap-
pears without counsel and is

The undersigned Trustee dis-
claims any liability for any incor-
rectness of the street address
and other common designation,
if any, shown herein. Said sale
will be made, but without cov-
enant or warranty, expressed or
implied, regarding title, posses-

dencing the obligations secured

clared all sums secured thereby
immediately due and payable,

caused said Notice of Default

ed in the County where the real
property is located. NOTICE TO
POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are
considering bidding on this prop-
erty lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in
bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on
the property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a trustee auction
does not automatically entitle
you to free and clear ownership
of the property. You should also
be aware that the lien being auc-
tioned off may be a junior lien. If
you are the highest bidder at the
auction, you are or may be re-
sponsible for paying off all liens
senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are
encouraged to investigate the
existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist
on this property by contacting
the county recorder’s office or
a title insurance company, either
of which may charge you a fee
for this information. If you con-
sult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the
same lender may hold more
than one mortgage or deed of
trust on the property. NOTICE
TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale
LegaL Notices
date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or
more times by the mortgagee,

pursuant to Section 2924g of
the California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about
trustee sale postponements be
made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale
date has been postponed, and
if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 800-

Web www.Auction.com , using
the file number assigned to this

tion about postponements that
are very short in duration or that
occur close in time to the sched-
uled sale may not immediately
be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet
Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to
attend the scheduled sale. If the
sale is set aside for any reason,
the Purchaser at the sale shall be
entitled only to a return of the de-
posit paid. The Purchaser shall
have no further recourse against
the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee

Test this hypothesis: The answer to a pressing question will come within 72 hours
after you do a ritual in which you ask for clarity.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19): Before visiting Sicily for the first time,
American poet Billy Collins learned to speak Italian. In his
poem “By a Swimming Pool Outside Siracusa,” he describes
how the new language is changing his perspective. If he
were thinking in English, he might say that the gin he’s
drinking while sitting alone in the evening light “has softened
my mood.” But the newly Italianized part of his mind
would prefer to say that the gin “has allowed my thoughts
to traverse my brain with greater gentleness” and “has
extended permission to my mind to feel a friendship with the
vast sky.” Your assignment in the coming week, Aries, is to
Italianize your view of the world. Infuse your thoughts with
expansive lyricism and voluptuous relaxation. If you’re Italian,
celebrate and amplify your Italianness.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): It’s closing time. You have finished toiling
in the shadow of an old sacred cow. You’ve climaxed your
relationship with ill-fitting ideas that you borrowed from
mediocre and inappropriate teachers once upon a time. And
you can finally give up your quest for a supposed Holy Grail
that never actually existed in the first place. It’s time to move
on to the next chapter of your life story, Taurus! You have
been authorized to graduate from any influence, attachment,
and attraction that wouldn’t serve your greater good in the
future. Does this mean you’ll soon be ready to embrace more
freedom than you have in years? I’m betting on it.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): The heaviest butterfly on the planet is
the female Queen Victorian Birdwing. It tips the scales
at 2 grams. The female Queen Alexandra Birdwing is
the butterfly with the longest wingspan: over 12 inches.
These two creatures remind me of you these days. Like
them, you’re freakishly beautiful. You’re a marvelous and
somewhat vertiginous spectacle. The tasks you’re working
on are graceful and elegant, yet also big and weighty.
Because of your intensity, you may not look flight-worthy, but
you’re actually quite aerodynamic. In fact, your sorties are
dazzling and influential. Though your acrobatic zigzags seem
improbable, they’re effective.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Picasso had mixed feelings about his
fellow painter Marc Chagall, who was born under the sign
of Cancer. “I’m not crazy about his roosters and donkeys and
flying violinists, and all the folklore,” Picasso said, referring
to the subject matter of Chagall’s compositions. But he
also felt that Chagall was one of the only painters “who
understands what color really is,” adding, “There’s never
been anybody since Renoir who has the feeling for light that
Chagall has.” I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will
be the recipient of mixed messages like these. Praise and
disapproval may come your way. Recognition and neglect.
Kudos and apathy. Please don’t dwell on the criticism and
downplay the applause. In fact, do the reverse!
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): “Go Tell It on the Mountain” is the title of
an old gospel song, and now it’s the metaphorical theme of
your horoscope. I advise you to climb a tall peak—even if
it’s just a magic mountain in your imagination—and deliver
the spicy monologue that has been marinating within you. It
would be great if you could gather a sympathetic audience
for your revelations, but that’s not mandatory to achieve the
necessary catharsis. You simply need to be gazing at the big
picture as you declare your big, ripe truths.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you were a snake, it would be a fine
time to molt your skin. If you were a river, it would be a
perfect moment to overflow your banks in a spring flood. If
you were an office worker, it would be an excellent phase
to trade in your claustrophobic cubicle for a spacious new
niche. In other words, Virgo, you’re primed to outgrow at
least one of your containers. The boundaries you knew you
would have to transgress some day are finally ready to be
transgressed. Even now, your attention span is expanding
and your imagination is stretching.

for the week of April 13
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): For over a century, the Ringsaker
Lutheran Church in Buxton, North Dakota, hosted rites of
passage, including 362 baptisms, 50 marriages, and 97
funerals. It closed in 2002, a victim of the area’s shrinking
population. I invite you to consider the possibility that this
can serve as a useful metaphor for you, Libra. Is there a
place that has been a sanctuary for you, but has begun
to lose its magic? Is there a traditional power spot from
which the power has been ebbing? Has a holy refuge
evolved into a mundane hang-out? If so, mourn for a
while, then go in search of a vibrant replacement.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most people throw away lemon
rinds, walnut shells, and pomegranate skins. But some
resourceful types find uses for these apparent wastes.
Lemon rind can serve as a deodorizer, cleaner, and skin
tonic, as well as a zesty ingredient in recipes. Ground-up
walnut shells work well in facial scrubs and pet bedding.
When made into a powder, pomegranate peels have a
variety of applications for skin care. I suggest you look
for metaphorically similar things, Scorpio. You’re typically
inclined to dismiss the surfaces and discard the packaging
and ignore the outer layers, but I urge you to consider the
possibility that right now they may have value.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re growing too fast, but that’s fine
as long as you don’t make people around you feel they’re
moving too slowly. You know too much, but that won’t be a
problem as long as you don’t act snooty. And you’re almost
too attractive for your own good, but that won’t hurt you as
long as you overflow with spontaneous generosity. What
I’m trying to convey, Sagittarius, is that your excesses are
likely to be more beautiful than chaotic, more fertile than
confusing. And that should provide you with plenty of slack
when dealing with cautious folks who are a bit rattled by
your lust for life.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Until recently, scientists believed the
number of trees on the planet was about 400 billion. But
research published in the journal Nature says that’s wrong.
There are actually 3 trillion trees on earth— almost eight
times more than was previously thought. In a similar way, I
suspect you have also underestimated certain resources that
are personally available to you, Capricorn. Now is a good
time to correct your undervaluation. Summon the audacity
to recognize the potential abundance you have at your
disposal. Then make plans to tap into it with a greater sense
of purpose.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The poet John Keats identified a quality he
called “negative capability.” He defined it as the power to
calmly accept “uncertainties, mysteries, and doubts without
any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” I would extend
the meaning to include three other things not to be irritably
reached for: artificial clarity, premature resolution, and
simplistic answers. Now is an excellent time to learn more
about this fine art, Aquarius.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): Are you ready for a riddle that’s more
enjoyable than the kind you’re used to? I’m not sure if you
are. You may be too jaded to embrace this unusual gift. You
could assume it’s another one of the crazy-making cosmic
jokes that have sometimes tormented you in the past. But I
hope that doesn’t happen. I hope you’ll welcome the riddle
in the liberating spirit in which it’s offered. If you do, you’ll
be pleasantly surprised as it teases you in ways you didn’t
know you wanted to be teased. You’ll feel a delightful itch
or a soothing burn in your secret self, like a funny-bone
feeling that titillates your immortal soul. P.S.: To take full
advantage of the blessed riddle, you may have to expand
your understanding of what’s good for you. ∆
