mid an ongoing localized national discussion over which gender trans athletes should compete as and the locker rooms they should be allowed in, the vice chair of the San Luis Obispo County Moms for Liberty group was included in a lawsuit PUSHING BACK The Lucia Mar Unified School District filed in 2024 against the Biden voted not to support only allowing cisgender girls in administration’s attempts to female sports categories expand Title IX and define “sex” after a rally pushing back critics of trans athletes in as a person’s self-assessed gender on gendered locker rooms and sports. identity. In May, Atascadero school board member Rebekah Koznek also showed up to support efforts in Arroyo Grande to get the Lucia Mar Unified School District to change its policy on trans athletes.

USACE Notice

Restoration Advisory Board U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS ANNOUNCES A community assessment for establishing a Restoration Advisory Board for the Camp San Luis Obispo – Formerly Used Defense Site The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is assessing the community’s interest in establishing a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) for the Camp San Luis Obispo Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS). This site is being remediated under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for hazards, such as military munitions, that may remain from previous military activities.

The Department of Defense encourages community involvement in the environmental restoration process. A RAB is one of many methods the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may use to facilitate public participation at FUDS. RABs provide a collaborative forum for landowners, community members, government agencies and other interested parties to discuss and identify the most efficient and productive means to restore the environment. More information about RABs is available at: https://www.denix.osd.mil/rab/denix-files/sites/22/2016/03/RAB-Rule-Handbook_Final.pdf Community members may provide comments about interest in establishing a RAB no later than July 7, 2025. Comments or questions may be submitted by contacting: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District Telephone: (213) 452-3921 Email: FUDS.SPL@usace.army.mil

administration building that day and spraypainted graffiti on the walls of the financial aid and student accounts office, as well as its windows, furniture, computers, carpet, and floors.

Students and staff were present at the time of the incident, but no one was harmed, Armstrong’s letter said.

“I want to be very clear that there is no room at Cal Poly for this kind of behavior and activity,” Armstrong said. “We will not stand for illegal attacks against our institution, its employees, and its students. There is simply zero tolerance for it.”

Assistant Vice President for Communications and Media Relations Matt Lazier told New Times via email that the tags included phrases like “Free Palestine,” “Free Gaza,” “Cal Poly Divest,” and “Let Gaza Live.”

Of the five activists, Lazier confirmed that two of them—Theodore Lee, a current Cal Poly student, and Alejandro Bupara, who has no current affiliation with the university— were arrested. The other three suspects remain unidentified.

According to SLO County court records, both Lee and Bupara were previously arrested at a pro-Palestine protest in May 2024. They were charged with misdemeanors for violent and unlawful assembly, but as of June 11 there had been no new charges filed against the two after the June 4 offense.

Lazier said that the Cal Poly Police Department is continuing to investigate the matter, and the university didn’t have any further information to share as of press time.

Cal Poly police didn’t return a request for comment before press time.

This wasn’t the first case of vandalism at Cal Poly amid the Israel-Gaza war.

In October 2024, pro-Palestine graffiti covered areas of the Engineering Plaza, the University Union, and the Grand Avenue campus entrance, although no suspects were identified, according to Lazier.

Instances like vandalism, protests, and a Cal Poly professor’s alleged verbal harassment of Jewish students placed Cal Poly on the nation’s radar after receiving an “F” grade from the Anti-Defamation League for not addressing antisemitic tensions on campus amid the Israel-Gaza war.

Armstrong eventually was called to speak at a congressional hearing on May 7, where he promised to better address antisemitism and hold individuals accountable for their actions. He reiterated those sentiments in his June 4 letter about the recent vandalism.

“Those participating in violence and criminal activity which endangers others will be expelled (if they are students), arrested, and held fully accountable,” he wrote. “Anyone who views this kind of shortsighted, disgusting, and illegal activity as acceptable has no place at Cal Poly and will be rooted out.”

Grover Beach votes to increase wastewater rates The average single family in Grover Beach can expect their city wastewater bill to more than double by 2030—increasing from roughly $25 bi-monthly to about $58.

Starting in July, rates will start ticking up at 17.8 percent a year for the next five years to help the city pay for an estimated $11 million in needed upgrades to its aging sewer lines, lift stations, and storm drains. The Grover Beach City Council passed the rate increase unanimously at its June 9 meeting, capping off two years of controversy surrounding the issue.

“I know that a couple of people have made the comment that it’s too steep or we don’t want this,” Councilmember Jules Tuggle said at the meeting. “We’re all in this together. I’m a neighbor, too, and I would love to not pay it.

That would be my first choice. … This can’s been kicked down the road for a long time, and now we’re stuck in this place.”

With aging sewer pipelines and a need to plan for growth, she said, the rate increases are specific to Grover Beach’s needs and “the right decision.”

“That just is what it is,” Tuggle said. “I think that it’s time to take care of the next generation, and I recognize that that’s going to have an impact on people.”

She added that she received many emails in support of the change, support that wasn’t necessarily represented during public comment on the issue. Several people who spoke during public comment were members of Grover H2O, a group of residents who actively opposed water and wastewater rate hikes passed in 2023. That sentiment eventually found its way to the 2024 ballot, when 64 percent of voters passed a repeal of the increases.

Grover H20 member Brenda Auer reminded the City Council about what happened last November and the Central Coast Blue water recycling project that preceded those increased water rates.

Central Coast Blue was a big reason Grover H2O rallied against the city, and the city eventually pulled out of the regional recycled water project.

Auer said that while the city needs to fix its sewer system, the people spoke out against water rate increases and won.

“I’m afraid this is a snaky deal that we’ve got going on here. I think that you’re trying to fix the sewer for Central Coast Blue to come back,” she said.

City Manager Matthew Bronson said that “there’s nothing related to what’s in these sewer projects that have to do with Central Coast Blue.”

As part of the rate increase approval process, residents were able to submit protests under Proposition 218—if 50 percent of customers plus one protests the increase, the city can’t make the change. With only 382 protests received of the 2,681-protest threshold, Grover Beach could move forward.

Councilmember Robert Robert said if the city delayed the rate increases once again, it would just cost more in the long run, echoing what 3rd District SLO County Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg said during public comment.

“If we don’t invest in some of this infrastructure now, it will become more expensive later,” Ortiz-Legg said. “Yes, expansion is needed; yes, infrastructure wears out. …. Delays in repairs can lead to catastrophic failures in the long run.”

—Camillia Lanham

Anderson told New Times the county’s notice was also inspired by the death of a Fresno County resident in late November 2024.

“That was an individual who did find a dead bat at their workplace, or about which they thought was dead at their workplace, and went to pick it up and throw it out of the building,” he said. “When they did so, they were bitten, and that individual didn’t wind up going to get the exposure treatment afterwards. They didn’t think too much of it and wound up having a fatal infection.”

Anderson said the primary mistake here was picking up the wild animal, even if they thought it was dead.

“Do not handle or touch the animals, even if you think that they may be deceased, in fact, those animals may still be able to bite and transmit the infection that way,” he said.

“It’s best to leave them where they are. … Call us to come pick up and we can test them if necessary.”

While bats are typically the most common species to carry rabies, Anderson said other high-risk wildlife include skunks, racoons, and foxes, which pose the greatest risk to people’s pets.

But the solution is simple to prevent a rabies infection, he said, and that’s by keeping up on pet vaccinations.

“By maintaining their animals’ rabies SLO County urges rabies vaccination, essentially, [they] kind of create a prevention firewall between the endemic rabies infection Rabies is not a disease of the past—at least and wildlife and themselves,” Anderson said. that’s what SLO County Animal Services Any pet clinic can usually provide a rabies Manager Dr. Eric Anderson said now that the vaccination, as well as Woods Humane county’s seen at least three cases this year.

The Central Coast emerges on both sides of lawsuits concerning Trump’s executive orders

CALL FOR CHANGE After a rally pushing back on critics of trans students in gendered locker rooms and sports, the Lucia Mar school district voted 5-2 against agendizing a resolution that expressed support for allowing only cisgender girls in female sports categories.

T

he White House invited Atascadero Unified School District board member Rebekah Koznek to an executive order signing ceremony on March 31 because she’s named in a 2024 complaint filed by Moms for Liberty and Young America’s Foundation to stop changes to Title IX ordered by President Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump’s order was aimed at trans student athletes and Biden’s Title IX changes.

“This was specifically for moms and their daughters who play sports to attend,” Koznek said via email. “There were also other organizations there who have been speaking out against this, along with female athletes who have been directly affected by CIF [California Interscholastic Federation] and colleges who have rules in conflict with the current [executive order].”

The Biden administration took steps to expand Title IX—the 1972 law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs that enjoy federal financial assistance—to define “sex” as a person’s selfassessed gender identity.

Since Trump took office on Jan. 20, he’s issued executive orders against trans people like “keeping men out of women’s sports” and “defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.”

Koznek received her invitation from the administration in February.

“Today is a historic day as I get to represent parents across the nation witness, in person, President Trump sign an executive order protecting women and girls from boys competing in their sports,” Koznek wrote in a Feb. 5 Facebook caption accompanying an image of her White House invitation card.

“This is a victory for fairness, common sense, and the future of women’s athletics.”

The vice chair of the San Luis Obispo County Moms for Liberty chapter appears in the lawsuit as an example of a Moms for Liberty member whose children are enrolled in schools that receive federal funding and are subject to Title IX regulations.

The complaint alleged that a transgender student using the girl’s locker room in the 2023-24 school year “twerked in the faces” of other girls and made them feel uncomfortable. It also noted that Koznek’s daughter—referred to by the initials E.K.—is on the autism spectrum and has speech and developmental limitations.

“As a result of E.K.’s disabilities, the presence of a biological male sharing a girls’ bathroom or locker room with E.K. would create great confusion for E.K.,” the complaint said. “E.K. is unable to process such a situation and is unable to modify her use of pronouns to conform to the requirement of the Final Rule.”

The “Final Rule” refers to the investigation conducted by the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights to address complaints of sex discrimination and discrimination based on gender identity.

positive feedback on her visit to Washington, D.C. She didn’t respond to questions on the lawsuit and the alleged locker room incident.

Kansas, Alaska, Utah, and Wyoming; Female Athletes United; and a mom on behalf of her minor joined Moms for Liberty in the lawsuit against the Department of Education, former Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, the Department of Justice, and former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.

On Jan. 10, U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves struck down Biden’s Title IX protections. Now in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, the case is temporarily discontinued and scheduled for oral argument in September.

Douglas Heumann, an attorney and chair of Central Coast Coalition for Inclusive Schools, said that Moms for Liberty’s case hinges on fear of retribution.

“I’m sorry, too bad you’re uncomfortable.

What do you think trans students are?” he said. “It hasn’t happened, and it’s not like it’s going to damage them for life if they’re afraid that they’re going to have retribution.”

Coalition members have attended school district meetings in SLO County as debates around trans students in locker rooms and gendered sports categories take center stage. Heumann wrote a letter to six school districts criticizing a petition circulated by a group of parents that urged board members to align district policy around trans students with Trump’s executive orders.

After weeks of heated sessions and a rally, the Lucia Mar Unified School District formally discussed a community-proposed resolution called “Supporting Title IX and Fairness in Girls’ Interscholastic Sports” at its May 20 meeting. The board voted 5-2 to not agendize the resolution, with board members Mike Fuller and Eilene Pham supporting.

Schools aren’t the only entities impacted by the Trump administration’s gender identity policies. For Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, not complying with the president’s orders could result in loss of funding for its Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) program.

In 2023, the chapter received a five-year $3.9 million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to foster the agency’s evidence-based TPP program.

It’s meant to help 2,900 people on the Central Coast, focusing on Latino and LGBTQplus youth and their families, and improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes, promote positive youth development and

empowerment, and advance health equity and inclusivity, according to Planned Parenthood California Central Coast.

But on March 31, Planned Parenthood received new requirements from HHS—now headed by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Recipients of Tier 1 grants, which make up 75 percent of TPP programs across the country, should align with Trump’s executive orders as part of a noncompetitive continuation award application that was due April 15.

“The guidance seeks to insert ideological preferences into evidence-based programs previously approved by HHS and conflicts outright with the very purpose of the TPP program—leaving the future of the program uncertain,” Central Coast Planned Parenthood spokesperson Luz Reyes-Martin said.

On May 1, the chapter joined the New York; Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, and Kentucky; Heartland; and Mar Monte divisions of Planned Parenthood in a lawsuit against the department and Secretary Kennedy Jr. Reyes-Martin added that by law, Tier 1 grants create medically accurate and ageappropriate programs to prevent unintended teen pregnancy and STIs. According to the complaint, the federal government offered no information on the program changes needed to make them align with the executive orders. The Central Coast chapter, under protest, expanded the age ranges of its focus population.

Not complying could mean a loss of almost $2.4 million in anticipated funding over the next three years, subsequently shuttering sexual and reproductive health education programs for young people and their families.

The funding future became murkier on May 29 when House Republicans voted to defund Planned Parenthood by passing a budget reconciliation bill. It bans Medicaid reimbursement for 10 years to nonprofit health care providers serving underserved communities if they offer reproductive and family planning services; abortions in cases other than of rape, incest, or a lifethreatening condition for the woman; and/or received more than $1 million in Medicaid payments last fiscal year.

Reyes-Martin said the chapter submitted the award application in April but hasn’t heard back from the federal department yet. ∆ Reach Staff Writer Bulbul Rajagopal at brajagopal@newtimesslo.com.

COMMENTARY

➤ Rhetoric & Reason [12] ➤ Shredder [13]

BY LINDA C. GEORGE

What’s going on?

The Tribune’s lawsuit against Paso City Councilmember Chris Bausch isn’t going to turn up anything

A

common sentiment I’ve heard from Paso Robles residents lately is, “I’m completely lost on the ex-city manager story. I gave up trying to understand or care.”

We just passed the one-year mark since the demise of that ill-conceived paid parking program. Remember that? The brainchild of our former city manager. That whole mess is the reason Paso Robles took such a black eye in the first place.

To date, the council refuses to pay us our money back.

Now, we’ve got a new, experienced city manager who doesn’t need an assistant, and we’ve saved ourselves millions in the process.

Chris Huot has been doing the job efficiently for the past year.

Yet somehow, instead of moving forward, we’re still watching The Tribune continue its relentless campaign—mostly targeting Paso City Councilmember Chris Bausch and CalCoastNews’ Karen Veile.

Let me be honest—I’m part of the story, and even I am lost on what The Tribune is trying to do. They’ve taken this all the way to civil court, with the city even suing Bausch.

What exactly is their angle here?

What started as a show of support for Ty Lewis has spiraled into a wild conspiracy

cooked up by the mayor, Lewis himself, as well as Clive Pinder, Gina Fitzpatrick, and others. Somehow, a group of SLO County’s infamous online rage farmers and trolls got involved.

These folks have said unspeakable things.

One comment was so outrageous that District Attorney Dan Dow stepped in.

This has all gone way too far—and the same names keep showing up, weaponizing The Tribune and Paso Robles Daily News with half-truths and made-up stories. They’ve tried to disguise them as satire. They’ve tried us in the press.

And here’s the kicker: To this day, there is still no evidence to back up their claims.

Lewis resigned. And now? He’s running around like some private investigator. Yet we’re still in court.

Since the last hearing, Councilmember Bausch has fully complied with all requests.

But The Tribune seems to be hoping to find some “gotcha” moment. Some of us believe they’re going to twist his words and try to argue he withheld something from his personal devices—and motion the judge to make him turn over his phone.

The city itself reviewed Lewis’ claims and tossed them out as meritless. So, as we have told The Tribune repeatedly, they are wrong.

The Tribune will be handed a whole lot of nothing from the city’s attorney.

Unless there’s actual proof that Bausch used his personal phone or email to take official action as a council member, there’s nothing legally required to be disclosed.

Sharing political opinions, showing support, or engaging as a private citizen doesn’t count as government work under public records law. Karl Olson, The Tribune’s attorney, was successful in San Jose; he may want to go read his own case law.

Just for comparison: In San Jose, former Mayor Sam Liccardo used his personal Gmail for almost all of his city business. He

nothing but a fishing expedition. They even asked for his call logs. Seriously? What kind of precedent are we setting when a parttime elected official can be forced to hand over their personal devices, which might contain private health info, family messages, calendars, and more?

Without a doubt, this past election showed the dark side of party politics. The Democratic Party and The Tribune didn’t just go after conservatives—they turned on their own. Reporters went after Democrat Debbie Peterson in Grover Beach, accusing her of falsifying her finances to qualify for discounted water rates. And in doing so, they exposed private info about Grover Beach residents—a true data breach.

In my opinion, this is about taking a bogus workers’ comp claim and using it as a weapon, interfering with Paso Robles’ first real election in years, where voters had actual choices and multiple candidates per seat.

So here we are, a year later. Still fighting.

Still being dragged through the mud. And for what? You decide. Is The Tribune lawsuit about transparency? ∆

Let me be honest—I’m part of the story, and even I am lost on what The Tribune is trying to do. had a shadow government, as far as letting lobbyists write city policy for him.

That turned into a real scandal. The First Amendment Coalition and San José Spotlight (Karl Olson) sued San Jose city for hiding records, redacting things without reason, and deleting emails. He was a repeat offender.

Here, Councilmember Bausch hasn’t done anything remotely close. There’s no proof he used his personal email for city business. So this avalanche of public records requests is

’ve always been a great fan of Bruce Springsteen—both the musician and the activist. For 50 years now, The Boss has been singing the anthems of the working class in America.

Last month, Springsteen kicked off the European leg of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour in England with this: “The mighty E Street Band is here to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock ’n’ roll in dangerous times. My home, the America I love, the America that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.

Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.”

Trump responded by calling Springsteen “highly overrated,” “dumb as a rock,” and a “dried out prune.”

With Donald Trump, it’s all about “dominance,” about accumulating power for its own sake. It’s about dominating Congress, manipulating the media, eviscerating elite universities, crippling the ability of law firms or federal judges to stand in his way, and silencing any dissent or debate. Even scientific debate must yield to his fixed ideological perspective.

Trump’s central campaign promise in 2024 was to dominate and deport the “criminal alien gangs” who constitute a “threat to our national security.” He declared a national emergency, citing a dubious “invasion” by Central American gangs.

Instead of targeting these elusive criminal gangs, however, Trump’s mass deportation campaign is rounding up thousands of hard-working immigrants and their families in a cruel and indiscriminate dragnet that lacks any element of common sense or compassion. One victim is a 4-year-old boy with late-stage cancer—a U.S. citizen, no less—who was sent to Honduras without his medications nor the cancer treatments that have kept him alive.

One of Trump’s top aides, Stephen Miller, summoned all the regional Homeland Security directors to the White House in late May, ordering them to ramp up arrests of undocumented immigrants to achieve a quota of 3,000 daily arrests.

The result was inevitable: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are using brutal tactics to make arrests of suspected undocumented immigrants at popular restaurants, at schools, and anywhere day laborers are found, including several Home Depot locations in LA County. A police state is now emerging in Southern California as thousands of protesters actively resist ICE. Downtown LA saw scattered incidents of protesters attempting to stop the advance of ICE vans, a brief occupation of Highway 101, and a few Waymo self-driving autos set afire. LA Metro Police and other local law enforcement agencies have arrested about 200 people.

The Trump administration also took the extraordinary step of nationalizing the California National Guard, over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom, ordering 4,000 Guard troops to Southern California.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has piled on, deploying 700 Marines to LA. Trump relishes his confrontation with Newsom and has even toyed with arresting him.

Newsom responded with a throw-down to Trump: “This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers, and the National Guard at risk.”

The governor honored the service of our troops and committed to arresting and prosecuting those who break the law but condemned Trump’s incendiary actions: “Donald Trump’s government is not protecting our communities—they are traumatizing our communities … and that seems to be the entire point.”

Newsom implored protesters to remain peaceful.

“At this moment, we all need to stand up and be held to account, a higher level of accountability. I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty—your silence—to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him.”

It’s precisely to deny fealty to that authoritarian state that organizers plan a nationwide series of almost 2,000 “No Kings” protest rallies for this Saturday, June 14.

These include a rally in front of the County Government Center on Monterey Street at 10:30 a.m. and a protest and march in downtown Atascadero at 10 a.m.

Saturday also coincides with President Trump’s 79th birthday and his $45 million military parade through Washington.

Notably, the “No Kings” organizers are not planning an event in the nation’s Capital, explaining their strategy in this way: “Real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else. … We will make action everywhere else the story of America that day.”

Thus, the nation will witness a stark contrast this week between the millions of “No Kings” protesters throughout the country and the heavily armed ranks of America’s military—both in Washington and on duty in Southern California. Which of these visions will “dominate”?

The only way to guarantee our constitutional rights and freedoms is to speak out, to march, and, in the immortal words of the late John Lewis, to raise “good trouble.” We need to sing a new song in this “Land of Hope and Dreams”; after all, Bruce Springsteen has already composed it. ∆ John Ashbaugh will be marching with the “No Kings” rally on Saturday—will you?

THE SHREDDER

Trickledown Trumpy-nomics

T

his little office appliance tries to keep its rants local, but sometimes national politics come lurching at us, and thanks to Prez. tRump and his barrage of executive orders, that’s happening more often. One ongoing panic at our disco is about female trans athletes (or, locally, maybe a single female trans athlete) competing alongside cisgendered female athletes.

Whether you believe trans students should be included or excluded from participating in sports in line with their gender identity is nearly irrelevant at this point because tRump’s fearmongering and extremism has sucked all the oxygen out of rational debate.

For tRump, it’s always us against them.

He’s not interested in common ground, compromise, or solutions. tRump smash!

In fact, I’m pretty sure tRump hasn’t met a culture war battle he doesn’t want to douse with gasoline, and the trans topic is right up his intolerant alley because it so clearly pits right against left.

Last year, Moms for Liberty (except not for trans athlete liberty, obviously) and right-wing youth organization Young America’s Foundation filed a complaint to stop former President Joe Biden’s changes to Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in education programs that received federal funding. Biden expanded protections to trans athletes.

This national cock-up has come home to roost, especially in the North County—our own little hotbed of intolerance and fear. The complaint alleges that a transgender student using the Atascadero High School girl’s

locker room in the 2023-24 school year “twerked in the faces” of other girls.

Because she was named in the 2024 complaint, Atascadero Unified School District Board Member Rebekah Koznek was invited to The White House to witness tRump signing an executive order banning trans athletes from competition and removing Biden’s Title IX expansion.

Koznek’s daughter was apparently on the receiving end of said twerking.

Trump has also threatened to withhold federal funding to California if the state continues to allow transgender athletes to compete in girls’ and women’s sports.

People like Koznek and local Moms for Liberty members are demanding that local school districts implement Trump’s executive orders even though it contradicts state laws meant to foster greater inclusion.

States rights are super important to tRump … except when they contradict with his intolerance and bigotry.

According to Koznek, female athletes “have been directly affected by CIF [California Interscholastic Federation] and colleges who have rules in conflict with the current [executive order].”

Look, understanding the problem isn’t difficult. Locker rooms are uncomfortable places regardless of your gender or gender identity, and if you’re a cisgender athlete who loses to a trans gender athlete, that probably

Arts ARTIFACTS

Got art?

The A-Town Art Hop Returns to downtown Atascadero for a twoday celebration on Friday, June 13 (6 to 9 p.m.), and Saturday, June 14 (noon to 5 p.m.).

“Same funky vibe, twice the time,” organizers announced.

“Back by popular demand, the A-Town Art Hop returns in 2025 with an expanded two-day celebration of art, music, and collective spirit in the heart of downtown Atascadero.

Mark your calendars and get ready for a weekend that brings together artists, musicians, local businesses, and community. It’s time to celebrate. With construction complete and a new sense of vibrancy in the air, the Art Hop invites everyone to rediscover a revitalized downtown Atascadero.”

Atascadero is having its renaissance moment with a lot of cute shops, amazing eateries, and places for libations. It’s also undergone a lot of construction in recent years, including the main drag—El Camino Real.

“That’s why this Art Hop is about more than just art,” organizers added. “It’s about reintroducing our community to a revitalized downtown—getting people walking, gathering, exploring, and reconnecting with all the incredible spaces, shops, and restaurants that make Atascadero special.”

Keep calm and carry yarn

On Wednesday, June 25, fiber artist Trish Andersen and the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) Chief Curator Emma Saperstein will discuss Andersen’s upcoming installation, Little by Little, coming to the museum on Saturday, June 28 (through Oct. 4), in The Penny (664 Marsh St., SLO), from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

A wine reception begins at 5 p.m., and the event is free and open to the public, but an RSVP is required to attend via sloma. org/exhibition/trish-andersen.

“In her first immersive installation of this kind, artist Trish Andersen transforms SLOMA’s Gray Wing into a vibrant landscape of color and texture,” the museum announced. “Made up of 200 circular forms—some suspended from the ceiling, other tufted forms on the ground below—this space becomes a meditation on strength in numbers, collective action, and the quiet power of repetition. The work invites us to consider how small parts can build something greater— how patience, presence, and persistence can shape a joyful and unified whole.”

On the eve of its 50th anniversary, Great American Melodrama artists and operators reflect on what’s kept the quirky theater thriving

Editor’s note: This is the second in a two-part series going behind the scenes with the Great American Melodrama’s owners, cast, and crew.

The first part, “Party like it’s 1975,” ran on June 5.

L

ike many artists the Great American Melodrama attracts, artistic director Johnny Keating is a California transplant. His career’s colored with performing arts gigs in Arizona, Florida, Washington, and other states.

After relocating from Minnesota to Oceano in 2008 to act in his first Melodrama show, he became fast friends with his peers at the company offstage, partly thanks to their living situation.

The Melodrama’s inclusive housing, offered as part of the company’s contracts with actors and creative team members since the theater’s inception, allows artists traveling from afar to jump right into a production’s rehearsal period without worrying about finding a place to stay.

From the Melodrama’s beginning in 1975, the company’s lodging options have always been within walking distance of the theater, since a lot of out-of-area talent would fly or bus in “without cars,” Melodrama co-owner Lynne Schlenker said.

Schlenker and her husband, John, currently own two properties—a five-bedroom house and a threebedroom condo—they’ve designated to house Melodrama employees.

During the theater’s early years, however, the couple rented a handful of different spots in Oceano where they offered housing to employees.

Staying on brand with an optimistic and costeffective outlook, the pair bought the threebedroom condo about 30 years ago. Less than a decade later, they purchased the five-bedroom house.

Between the two properties, Melodrama managing director Stacy Halvorsen said that local talent also regularly use the company’s housing.

Some Melodrama regulars have taken advantage of the option periodically over several years, and they’ve experienced different iterations of either household—comparing it to different seasons of a reality show. Billy Breed is one such actor.

Celebrate good times

The Great American Melodrama is staging Less Miserable through June 14. Its next show, How the West Was Really Won, opens June 20 and runs through Aug. 2. The theater’s 50th anniversary celebration kicks off on Aug. 8 and runs through Sept.

20. Visit americanmelodrama.com or call (805) 489-2499 for ticket information and showtimes.

The Melodrama is located at 1863 Front St., Oceano.

But he couldn’t get the Central “We all had waffles in the morning.

Colony, Downtown Korda (Benicio Del Centre, Palm, Park, Stadium 10 Toro), whose many enemies are constantly trying to assassinate him. Believing his death may be imminent, he decides to make his novitiate nun daughter, Liesl (Mia Threapleton), his sole heir and directs her in carrying out his most audacious project yet.

(101 min.)

Glen I love Wes Anderson’s films—every one of them, including this one—but the marketing campaign is claiming this is Anderson’s funniest film yet. It’s not. It is, however, classic Wes Anderson with his signature quirky flawed characters, A-list ensemble cast, distinctive color palette, and emotional resonance. Zsa-zsa is immoral, his daughter doesn’t have much of a relationship with him, but he fascinates her, and in the hopes of curtailing some of his baser instincts—using slave labor for some of his projects, for instance—Liesl decides to accompany him as he lies to and finagles his business partners into covering “the gap,” a funding shortfall in his big project that will create a revenue stream lasting 150 years.

Anderson’s characters are often dreamers, and Zsa-zsa dreams big.

Anna I hadn’t heard the billing of this as Anderson’s “funniest film,” and I’ll agree that it didn’t strike me as particularly laughout-loud funny, but that isn’t to say it wasn’t a total delight to watch. There’s something pretty impressive about Anderson being able to have such specific stylization that works throughout so many movies, this one included. You go in knowing what to expect—meticulously thought-out sets and costuming, a banger of a cast, and quirky

ou’ve likely seen this 1986 coming-of-age drama, and if you’re like me, you’ve seen it more than a dozen times. Still, it’s a film that—back when you used to flip through channels—I would always say yes to and still do today. Between Richard Dreyfus’ narration and the troope of boys’ adventures, this film weaves an overall story of childhood friendship and how the

TIES THAT BIND (Left to right) Corrupt international businessman Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio Del Toro); his novitiate nun daughter, Liesl (Mia Threapleton); and his administrative assistant, Bjorn Lund (Michael Cera), struggle to hold Korda’s ambitious business plan together, in The Phoenician Scheme, screening in local theaters.

characters all around. While the storyline always moves things along, my motivation for watching Anderson’s movies on repeat is the absolute richness of the sets, often resembling a sort of stage production. I can’t say it has won my heart as my favorite Anderson film, but I’m certainly glad to have seen it.

Glen I’d watch it again. Michael Cera stars as Bjorn Lund, a Norwegian entomologist who becomes Zsa-zsa’s administrative assistant and who falls for Liesl. Tom Hanks and Bryan Cranston turn up as American business partners Leland and Reagan. Scarlett Johansson stars as Zsa-zsa’s cousin Hilda Sussman-Korda. Bill Murray stars as God in Zsa-zsa’s afterlife dreams. Riz Ahmed, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Willem Dafoe, F. Murray Abraham—the cast is straight-up amazing. The story is cleverly told as Zsazsa maneuvers to hold his audacious plan

little moments become so significant with time.

Gordie (Wil Wheaton) has lost his big brother, and his parents can’t get over the death, which leaves Gordie pretty wholly ignored. His band of misfits—Chris (River Phoenix), Teddy (Cory Feldman), and Vern (Jerry O’Connell)—set off to find a rumored dead body out in the woods. Each kid is struggling with his own problems, whether it’s being ignored by their parents or wanting their parents to ignore them, the foursome bonds over their weekend adventure, and they come to learn that life is complicated for everyone—even kids.

Based on Stephen King’s 1982 novella The Body, this is a must-see movie, and if you’ve seen it a bunch like me, why not get nostalgic and watch it on the big screen? (89 min.)

together. Satirizing capitalism and corruption, power, and moral irresponsibility, The Phoenician Scheme holds a mirror to human failings while exploring the meaning of family ties. If you don’t already love Anderson, this probably won’t win you over, but for fans, this hits the spot.

Anna His films are always a welcome treat.

They’re funny and clever and quick-witted.

Zsa-zsa has nearly died so many times that his mortality is actually starting to seep in. He’s got to win over Liesl, and while it’s touch-and-go for a bit, he eventually does.

Cera as lovestruck Bjorn is great: charming and dorky, and his character takes us on some fun twists. I look forward to watching this again when it streams, but it’s definitely worth the price of admission to see on the big screen. ∆ Arts Editor Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen.

Along the way, Luke wins over prisoner leader Dragline (George Kennedy in in an Oscar-winning supporting actor turn), as well as his fellow inmates, who are impressed by his resistance to authority. Luke’s defiance, tenacity, and resilience inspire, and the film contains decided Christian imagery with Luke as a redeemer.

Grateful Shred closes day 3 of the Live Oak Music Festival on June 15

I

don’t know how many Grateful Dead tribute bands are out there, but I’m guessing a lot. However, I bet very few of them have a Deadhead street-cred story as cool as Grateful Shred’s, who cemented their rep as an authentic Dead tribute when in 2017 they played in the parking lot of the Hollywood Bowl before a Dead and Company show. They managed to stir up such a big crowd that the police stepped in to shut down their impromptu concert. Type “Busted at the Bowl” into YouTube to find it.

The incident created what the band called instant “Shred-cred.”

“We’ve been dealt some pretty good cards,” bandmember Austin McCutchen said on the band’s website. “It’s been cool to roll with it and push forward and continually make stuff happen. Things have gone our way. Even that video happened magically. It was put together at the last minute, and boom!”

These Grateful Dead parking lot preparties are legendary, with vendors cashing in on Grateful Dead merch. Dubbed Shakedown Street, the parking lot vendor area inspired both a song and album of the same name: Shakedown Street (1978), which is actually the only Grateful Dead record I own. I bought it in high school.

Silverada is formerly Mike and the Moonpies, fronted by Mike Harmeier and which first formed in 2007 when he was still in his early 20s. Last year, he decided to change his band’s name as their sound continued to evolve.

“Back in the day, all we wanted to do was play the Broken Spoke,” said Harmeier in press materials, nodding to Austin’s hometown honky-tonk. “We had different aspirations back then. We were still figuring out what kind of band we were gonna be, and that took a lot of time and a lot of records.”

Now nine studio albums in, their most recent is 2024’s self-titled Silverada, their most ambitious album yet.

“Going into the studio, everybody in the band felt inspired to do something bigger than what they’d done before,” Harmeier explained. “We all knew we were at a precipice, and we wanted to jump. I brought in some songs that were metaphorical and not always straightforward, and that showed the guys that I wanted to take this music somewhere new … so they threw their own rulebooks out the window, too.”

Balkan beauty Opolo Vineyards in Paso releases America’s first official vranac wine

T

here’s a new red in town. And it’s all thanks to Rick Quinn and David Nichols, co-founders of Opolo Vineyards in Paso Robles.

Wine producers nationwide now have the official green light from the U.S. government to market vranac—a native Balkan grape pronounced “vrah-nuts” and meaning “black stallion.”

The aptly named ancient grape, which produces a rich, dark ruby wine with roots dating back to the Middle Ages, is the most widely planted variety in Montenegro and is also a staple in North Macedonia, Serbia, and Croatia.

“My grandfather was from Montenegro, and Balkan heritage has been something we’ve celebrated at Opolo since day one,” Quinn said. “But this is the first time we’ve been able to actually grow and produce a Balkan-style wine, which is very exciting. It’s really special to see this part of our heritage brought to the United States and to Paso Robles.”

Opolo planted 1,000 vines of vranac in 2018, followed by another 1,000 vines in 2019. The grapes were sourced from UC Davis’ Foundation Plant Services, which identifies and certifies the authenticity of the selection.

Opolo’s first attempt to label the wine was rejected by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which did not recognize the grape. This prompted the winery to petition for its acceptance in July 2023. Approval was granted in February of this year, setting the stage for the debut of Opolo’s 2021 Reserve Vranac in May. “Opolo has long had a Balkan theme— from the food we serve daily to the entertainment at our Harvest Festival to our Adriatic wine tours,” Nichols said. “It started with the name Opolo [which references rosé wines from the Dalmatian Coast], and it has just kept growing and evolving.

ODE TO THE ADRIATIC From left, longtime friends David Nichols and Rick Quinn founded Paso Robles’ Opolo Vineyards in 1999. The winery, named for traditional Balkan rosé, embraces Quinn’s heritage.

“Now to have this exclusive Balkan variety grown here at Opolo and introduce it to our guests is pretty amazing.”

The winery’s inaugural vranac, which features grapes from its 2018 estate planting, is priced at $60 and only available via direct order.

“There’s a high level of curiosity and interest,” Nichols said. “We have a two-bottle limit because the production was so small, but people are buying it sight unseen. They’re excited to try it. They think it’s fun to taste BORN IN THE USA Opolo’s Paso Robles-grown vranac, a native Balkan grape, rivals its new things in the world of wine.

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 05/03/2007 AND MORE FULLY DESCRIBED BELOW. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States (payable to Attorney Lender Services, Inc.) will be held by the duly appointed Trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

Trustor: FRANCIS C. FINK AND MARYLOU FINK, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS Trustee: ATTORNEY LENDER SERVICES, INC. Recorded 05/15/2007 as Instrument No. 2007032890 in book —, at Page — of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of San Luis Obispo County, California, Date of Sale: 7/1/2025 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: In the breezeway adjacent to the County General Services Building located at 1087 Santa Rosa Street, San Luis Obispo, CA Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $845,733.06 estimated - as of date of first publication of this Notice of Sale The purported property address is: 1551 POMEROY ROAD ARROYO GRANDE, CA 93420 A.P.N.: 091-073-034 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. The sale may not be final until either 15 or 45 days after the sale date - see Notice to Tenant.

Further, no TDUS can be issued until the sale is final. Your bid is subject to being over bid by the Tenant or “eligible bidder” after the sale and if your bid is over bid, your only remedy is to the refund of your actual bid amount without interest or payment of any other costs, expenses or funds of any kind or nature incurred by the ini-

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 (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet website www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 20-0074.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-0074 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property 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 auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www. altisource.com/loginpage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2025-00239-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855)-882-1314, or visit this internet website https://www.hubzu.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 2025-00239-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION AND SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS TO THE COUNTY INLAND AND COASTAL ZONE LAND USE ORDINANCES, LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM, BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION ORDINANCE, AND REAL PROPERTY DIVISION ORDINANCE TO UPDATE REGULATIONS RELATING TO ACCESSORY DWELLINGS, URBAN DWELLINGS, URBAN LOT SPLITS, AND THE DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM FOR CONSISTENCY WITH STATE LAW AND TO STREAMLINE AND SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION (COUNTY FILE NUMBERS: LRP2024-00013 AND -00014) On June 3, 2025, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors adopted the following ordinances for consistency with State Law and to streamline and support affordable housing production: 1. Ordinance No. 3534, 3536, and 3538 amending the Inland and Coastal Zone Land Use Ordinances, Local Coastal Program, and Buildings and Construction Ordinance to update regulations relating to accessory dwellings, 2. Ordinance No. 3537 amending the Inland Land Use Ordinance to update regulations relating to urban dwellings, 3.

Can you handle these subtly shocking opportunities? Do you have any glimmerings about how to open yourself to the revelations that life would love to offer you about your roots, your foundations, and your prime resources? Here are your words of power: source and soul.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Do you have any frustrations about how you express yourself or create close connections? Are there problems in your ability to be heard and appreciated? Do you wish you could be more persuasive and influential? If so, your luck is changing. In the coming months, you will have extraordinary powers to innovate, expand, and deepen the ways you communicate. Even if you are already fairly pleased with the flow of information and energy between you and those you care for, surprising upgrades could be in the works.

To launch this new phase of fostering links, affinities, and collaborations, devise fun experiments that encourage you to reach out and be reached.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): I’ve always had the impression that honeybees are restless wanderers, randomly hopping from flower to flower as they gradually accumulate nectar. But I recently discovered that they only meander until they find a single good fount of nourishment, whereupon they sup deeply and make a beeline back to the hive. I am advocating their approach to you in the coming weeks. Engage in exploratory missions, but don’t dawdle, and don’t sip small amounts from many different sites. Instead, be intent on finding a single source that provides the quality and quantity you want, then fulfill your quest and head back to your sanctuary.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Let’s talk about innovation. I suspect it will be your specialty in the coming weeks and months. One form that innovation takes is the generation of a new idea, approach, or product. Another kind of innovation comes through updating something that already exists. A third may emerge from finding new relationships between two or more older ways of doing things—creative recombinations that redefine the nature of the blended elements. All these styles of innovation are now ripe for you to employ.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Leo psychotherapist Carl Jung was halfway through his life of 85 years when he experienced the ultimate midlife crisis. Besieged by feelings of failure and psychological disarray, he began to see visions and hear voices in his head.

Determined to capitalize on the chaotic but fertile opportunity, he undertook an intense period of self-examination and self-healing.

He wrote in journals that were eventually published as The Red Book: Liber Novus. He emerged healthy and whole from this trying time, far wiser about his nature and his mission in life. I invite you to initiate your own period of renewal in the coming months, Leo. Consider writing your personal Red Book: Liber Novus.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the coming weeks, you will have chances to glide deeper than you have previously dared to go into experiences, relationships, and opportunities that are meaningful to you. How much bold curiosity will you summon as you penetrate further than ever before into the heart of the gorgeous mysteries? How wild and unpredictable will you be as you explore territory that has been offlimits? Your words of power: probe, dive down, decipher.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When traditional Japanese swordsmiths crafted a blade, they wrapped hard outer layers around a softer

inner core. This strategy gave their handiwork a sharp cutting edge while also imbuing it with flexibility and a resistance to breakage. I recommend a similar approach for you, Libra.

Create balance, yes, but do so through integration rather than compromise. Like the artisans of old, don’t choose between hardness and flexibility, but find ways to incorporate both.

Call on your natural sense of harmony to blend opposites that complement each other.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio journalist Martha Gelhorn (19081998) was an excellent war correspondent. During her six decades on the job, she reported on many of the world’s major conflicts. But she initially had a problem when trying to get into France to report on D-Day, June 6, 1945. Her application for press credentials was denied, along with all those of other women journalists. Surprise! Through subterfuge and daring, Gelhorn stowed away on a hospital ship and reached France in time to report on the climactic events. I counsel you to also use extraordinary measures to achieve your goals, Scorpio.

Innovative circumspection and ethical trickery are allowed.

Breaking the rules may be necessary and warranted.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): My spirit guides enjoy reminding me that breakthrough insights and innovations may initially emerge not as complete solutions, but as partial answers to questions that need further exploration. I don’t always like it, but I listen anyway, when they tell me that progress typically comes through incremental steps. The Sagittarian part of my nature wants total victory and comprehensive results now. It would rather not wait for the slow, gradual approach to unfold its gifts. So I empathize if you are a bit frustrated by the piecemeal process you are nursing. But I’m here to say that your patience will be well rewarded.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Sometimes I’ve got to pause and relax my focused striving, because that’s the only way my unconscious mind can work its magic.” My Capricorn friend Alicia says that about her creative process as a novelist. The solution to a knotty challenge may not come from redoubling her efforts but instead from making a strategic retreat into silence and emptiness. I invite you to consider a similar approach, Capricorn. Experiment with the hypothesis that significant breakthroughs will arrive when you aren’t actively seeking them. Trust in the fertile void of not-knowing. Allow life’s meandering serendipity to reveal unexpected benefits.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are you interested in graduating to the next level of love and intimacy? If so, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to intensify your efforts. Life will be on your side if you dare to get smarter about how to make your relationships work better than they ever have. To inspire your imagination and incite you to venture into the frontiers of togetherness, I offer you a vivacious quote from author Anais Nin. Say it to your favorite soul friend or simply use it as a motivational prayer.

Nin wrote, “You are the fever in my blood, the tide that carries me to undiscovered shores. You are my alchemist, transmuting my fears into wild, gold-spun passion. With you, my body is a poem. You are the labyrinth where I lose and find myself, the unwritten book of ecstasies that only you can read.”

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): What deep longing of yours is both fascinating and frustrating? To describe it further: It keeps pushing you to new frontiers yet always eludes complete satisfaction. It teaches you valuable life lessons but sometimes spoofs you and confuses you. Here’s the good news about this deep longing, Pisces: You now have the power to tap into its nourishing fuel in unprecedented ways. It is ready to give you riches it has never before provided. Here’s the “bad” news: You will have to raise your levels of self-knowledge to claim all of its blessings. (And of course, that’s not really bad!) ∆
