Local pediatricians urge vaccinations as COVID-19 cases soar

FILE PHOTO COURTESY OF SLO COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH

ith schools on the verge of reopening amid “skyrocketing” COVID-19 cases, a panel of local pediatricians and physicians convened via Zoom on Aug. 10 to answer questions from the public about the pandemic, vaccinations, and youth, in a discussion hosted by the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education. “I think we protect the kids by making sure the adults around them are vaccinated,” said Dr. René Bravo, a SLO-based pediatrician. “I think, hands-down, that’s a solid answer that’s achievable. … We know that is working.” In the one-hour discussion, the four physicians on the panel tackled questions ranging from the safety of vaccines, to the social-emotional impact of the pandemic on children, to the “astonishing” recent rise in cases of COVID-19 in local youth, and how that’s not something to take lightly. “A year ago, we were seeing two to three positive COVID cases per week. Over the last two weeks, we’re now seeing two or three positive COVID cases in children per day,” said Dr. Laura Hutchison, an Atascadero pediatrician. “The increase is phenomenal and surprising—scary as school starts to open.” Between Aug. 3 and 10, SLO County added 603 new COVID-19 cases and two deaths, of residents in their 50s. Cases increased 56 percent over the week prior and hospitalizations more than tripled, from eight to 26, with five in the ICU as of Aug. 10. Officials say the overwhelming majority of new cases are in unvaccinated residents. “It’s dazzling how fast this Delta variant has picked up,” said Dr. Brian Roberts, a local urgent care physician. While COVID-19 is not nearly as fatal to youth as it is to older adults, the doctors cautioned parents against treating the virus as harmless to their kids. They said they are seeing plenty of cases of “long COVID,” where children have long-term health effects that are

tied to the illness. One of the most severe is multisystem inflammatory syndrome, a condition in which a person’s organs and body systems get inflamed or damaged following an episode of COVID-19. Bravo said his practice treated a child early on in the pandemic with this condition, and it proved extremely serious. “This one had to be airlifted out of the area,” Bravo said. “It really changed my trajectory and perspective because none of us knows who is that kid going to be when we see these kids with COVID-19. That has really created a degree of significant caution.” GET THE SHOTS In an Aug. 10 back-to-school The doctors encouraged all adults and webinar, a panel of local pediatricians encouraged SLO children over age 12 to receive one of the County families to get the COVID-19 vaccine (pictured).

Paso school district passes ban on teaching critical race theory

being brought to the tables when it’s not relevant.” Gonzalez, other speakers, and some school board members said that the CRT ban addresses a non-issue, because the theory isn’t taught in Paso schools and isn’t a part of California curriculum. Proponents said the idea is to get in front of an issue that would label students as victims or oppressors due to the color of their skin. “I feel like although critical race theory isn’t being officially taught in our schools, I feel like we need to take a stand,” said one mom, who recently transferred her kids into the district from being homeschooled. “I feel like if critical race theory would be allowed to be taught in our schools, all that does is create division.” The hearing only allotted 20 minutes total for public speakers due to the hours of testimony the board had heard during previous meetings on the issue. One by one, board members weighed in, with each saying they were against CRT being taught in the district. The board voted 4-3 (with board members Nathan Williams, Tim Gearheart, and Chris Bausch dissenting) in favor of the original resolution Arend penned—something Williams took particular issue with. “The very definition of contradiction,” Williams

Clapping, booing, whooping, and argumentative outbursts from the audience peppered Paso Robles Joint Union High School District’s Aug. 10 meeting. “We want to get through this in an orderly process, so no cat-calling, no interrupting the speaker,” school board President Chris Arend said after a disruptive outburst during public comment about an agenda item considering a ban on teaching critical race theory (CRT) in the district. But attendees paid little heed to his plea during the emotional final hearing of the district’s months-long conversation over the controversial academic theory. At a June 22 meeting, Arend introduced a resolution he penned that would prohibit teaching CRT in the district, except for including instruction that focuses on the academic theory’s flaws. The board declined to vote on the issue at that meeting, pending further discussion. “We need to be focused on transportation. You’re considering closing a school. Why are we wasting time?” Shannon Gonzalez said during the Aug. 10 meeting. “I’m really disappointed, sorry to point you out President Arend, but your personal ideology is

said. “The resolution does not ban the teaching of critical race theory. It only controls the way that it’s taught. It explicitly allows it to be included, but only how one side wants it to be included. That goes against the very nature of education, in my opinion.” He added that the district’s Administration Regulation (AR) 6144 passed in 1998 already governs how controversial issues can be discussed in the classroom: They can be talked about as long as the discussion provides opportunities for critical thinking, developing tolerance, and understanding conflicting points of view. Gearheart stated that students don’t have the skills they need to adequately understand and discuss CRT. He compared it to teaching algebra to second graders who hadn’t yet learned multiplication. “The most important thing is for them to develop high-level thinking skills,” Gearheart said. “You need to be able to analyze. Use the information and identify what fits and doesn’t fit and then apply it. Our kids aren’t ready for something like that.” Board member Jim Reed claimed that CRT’s narrative is that all whites are racist oppressors, that society as a whole is systemically racist, and that “from the day that NEWS continued page 6

the United States was founded that’s what we’ve been doing.” “The truth is all Americans have not been racists and oppressors, only some have been,” Reed said. “It’s imperative that we teach truth in our classrooms.” CRT is a form of anti-racism that justifies using present discrimination to deal with past discrimination, which has no place in Paso’s schools, Bausch said. However, he argued that the argument over critical race theory has been more dangerous than the theory itself. The district had received a lot of emails, he added, but many of them falsely claiming the ethnic studies course approved earlier in the year is the same thing as CRT. Bausch accused the board of micromanaging its stance on racism— the district passed a ban on racism in any form earlier this year—and called the resolution an act of censorship and indoctrination that’s a slippery slope. “Government-enforced censorship in our schools should be a major cause for concern. It prevents students with enquiring minds from exploring the world … and becoming critical thinkers,” Bausch said. —Camillia Lanham

San Luis Obispo County unveiled a new safe parking site for unhoused residents at an Aug. 10 Board of Supervisors meeting—but its “barren” location in an unshaded dirt lot near the SLO County Jail is drawing backlash. “This plan will fail. The unhoused won’t go. It will be a waste of money,” said Paul Hershfield, a Los Osos resident who’s assisting unhoused residents currently parked on Palisades Avenue by the library and community center. The proposed site is a piece of countyowned land at the corner of Kansas and Oklahoma avenues, off Highway 1. Officials scrambled in recent weeks to find a suitable and readymade location for a safe parking program as pressure mounted to address a growing unhoused population living on local streets, particularly in Los Osos and Oceano. “We can do better than Kansas Avenue, but we need to start some place,” 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson said at the meeting. “The matter of establishing these programs was not a matter of hiding the unsheltered in our community. It was a piece of county property that could be developed efficiently and in the timely manner to meet a need.” County officials said the site could be open for business as soon as Friday, Aug. 13. It will have showers, restrooms, a handwashing station, and dumpsters for residents. The site will only be open to people with “working vehicles” and not those living in tents. Interested users must arrive during the daily check-in hours of 5 to 9 p.m. and sign a code of conduct “focused on safety and respect for neighbors.” The county claims that establishing the site will allow it to enforce overnight parking and camping ordinances against those who have been parked on public streets, since there is now an alternative location to go. But unhoused residents and their advocates said that forcing people to park in an unshaded lot miles away from town centers and services is inhumane. “My home is Los Osos,” said Benjamin Kincaid, a resident of Palisades Avenue.

complaints from residents of the nearby Costa Pacifica Estates. SLO County informed the venue that it would need to file for a 6.56 Entertainment License to put on live music events, Duggan said. He applied for the license and was granted it. “However, the Costa Pacifica Homeowners Association then filed a lawsuit under the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA] contending that the county had improperly granted us an exemption from conducting an Environmental Impact Report (EIR),” Duggan wrote. SLO County 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton said the 6.56 permit was a path forward for Stadium805 to do the events it hoped for and comply with county requirements, and she supported it. But when the lawsuit was filed, she said Duggan told the board he didn’t want to go through with the license after all. At the time, Duggan told New Times, he chose to back out of the permit because it was too hard to plan for events due to COVID-19 uncertainty. In his recent Facebook post, he wrote that “the license was rescinded” until COVID-19 conditions improved. “We requested a reinstatement of the previously approved entertainment license to resume normal operations,” Duggan wrote. “But the county is now saying we must start this expensive process all over again.” According to Compton, the license was only rescinded at Duggan’s request. She said it was Duggan’s choice to back out of it, and that’s why the county would require him to apply for it again. “He came to the Board [of Supervisors] and he said he did not want to move forward with it,” she said. “We had to withdraw it based on him coming to us and saying he didn’t want to do it. Then he decided to move forward, and he has to operate within the code.” Santa Maria Raceway William Parkin, legal representative to shut down for the Costa MUSIC Pacifica Estates HOA, said Central Coast residents will soon lose in an emailed statement that it was not a venue that has operated in Nipomo the intention FLAVOR/EATS of the HOA nor the county for decades.

No one lives on Kansas Avenue, and there’s a reason why.” In choosing the site, SLO County supervisors rejected a proposal put forth by Los Osos community members to repurpose the El Chorro Regional Park campground as a sanctioned homeless encampment. That idea drew both community support and skepticism, but the county’s alternative took heat from all sides on Aug. 10. “I think Kansas Avenue falls very short,” said Pat West, a Los Osos resident who helped formulate the El Chorro proposal. “Why just safe parking and not a community encampment? Why not a place that has trees and running water and lots of toilets and lots of showers … than this piece of dirt? Why only for those who have working vehicles?” The county says it will operate the new safe parking site as a three-month pilot program before reevaluating it. Officials said they are coordinating with CAPSLO and the 5Cities Homeless Coalition to provide outreach services and case management at the site. Gibson framed the project as a “baby step” toward bigger solutions on homelessness. On Aug. 10, the board also approved a $1.5 million budget adjustment, which is intended to fund: three safe parking programs (including Kansas Avenue), a “blue bag” program for waste services at encampments, a 10-bed expansion of the county’s 70Now housing program, new staff members, encampment abatement, a communications strategy on homelessness, and work to develop a computer mapping tool for encampments. “We have just started on this,” Gibson said. “The reality is we need to do more.” —Peter Johnson

STARTING A CAREER Alex Zuniga (pictured), fresh out of Cal Poly, served as the original art director for New Times when it started in 1986. Today, he’s the paper’s co-owner and publisher.

Decades and counting New Times’ publishers talk 35 years of covering community news, surviving COVID-19, and why print is their philosophy

uring the darkest days of COVID-19 in 2020, New Times publisher Alex Zuniga was often one of the only staff members in the paper’s downtown office in San Luis Obispo, putting the finishing touches on another lean pandemic issue. In an odd way, the scene looked a bit like Zuniga’s first days and weeks at New Times back in the summer of 1986, when founder Steve Moss invited the new Cal Poly grad to help him produce the paper’s inaugural issue out of Moss’ apartment. “I came in semi last-minute,” said Zuniga, who would quickly take the helm as the paper’s art director and keep that title for good. “We had one of the original Macintoshes and we had one printer. He [Moss] would write the stories and print them out. And then I would typeset. We’d print, wax, cut, and build on boards.” Thirty-five years ago, it took a handful of scrappy, stubborn dreamers to bring New Times into existence. Last year, it took the same to keep New Times publishing through a once-a-century pandemic, which put many alternative local newspapers just like this one out of business. In the low moments of 2020, when advertising revenue dropped by as much as 70 percent, Zuniga would think about conversations he had last year with friends and community members that made him “believe people really did want us out there.” “That’s one of the things that helped me kind of get over sometimes the depression of 2020, being in this office with only two or three other people, and it’s just total darkness and we’re putting the paper out,” Zuniga said. “We would run into people who would ask, ‘How are things going?’ And they’d just assume we would be around. [They’d say] ‘You guys are a mainstay. You’ll be around. You’ll be fine.’ They just couldn’t envision not having New Times, basically. People would just have this confidence. You’re going to do it. We need you guys.” While that sentiment certainly came

as a morale boost, the fact remained that New Times is just another small business—a small media business, at that—as vulnerable as any. Despite COVID-19 pushing New Times and its sister paper, the Santa Maria Sun, to their limits, co-publisher Bob Rucker said he never felt like the 35-year run was coming to an end. “I never thought this was it,” said Rucker, who joined New Times as a salesman in the ’90s and took over as a publisher in 2005 following Moss’ death. “My biggest stress points were when we were applying for PPP loans and just … were they coming? It’s all brand new.” The PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loans did come through for New Times. So did a few grants and donations. Now, on the paper’s 35th birthday, New Times is on a much steadier course than it was a year ago, according to its owners. While the paper’s size and circulation are still down by about one-third and staffing is not back to full strength yet, the trends are pointing up. “We’re getting there slowly,” Rucker said. “Everybody’s trying to dig out of this hole, and it still doesn’t translate back to the normal advertising schedule. We have to wait until businesses level out a little bit.” Non-avid readers of New Times may not have even noticed the economic hit that the pandemic levied, and that’s likely because despite taking 10,000 papers off the streets of SLO County last year, New Times is still the highest circulating print publication in the county, at 25,000 copies per week. “We’re three times bigger than any print product out there,” Rucker said. That fact points directly back to Rucker and Zuniga’s philosophy on print. In an age when news and media are rapidly moving onto digital and web-based platforms, Rucker and Zuniga have doubled down on a print bet. Both publishers spoke about how they believe a “tangible” New Times out on

street corners, in cafes, and at people’s fingertips is the best and most intimate way to connect with the community, especially when the community has grown accustomed to that model. “We do what we do best, which is print,” Zuniga said. “Even when we did other ventures, it’s always been, well, we’re not going to mess with the print product. “Our advantage has always been because our market is unique, we’re in a position to be hyper local,” he added. “And nobody can get that information around [elsewhere].” A talented graphic designer, Zuniga is passionate about elevating the paper’s look and holding it to a high design standard, for the benefit of both the THE FIRST COVER New Times’ cover reader and the advertiser. design has changed over the years, but its “That’s one of the things that’s different content has remained dedicated to local from when we started,” Zuniga noted, “is news and arts. not only did I want to design and create editorial things, but elevate the ad design times and the evolution of New Times, the too. We’re basically an ad agency for these paper’s mission is largely the same as it advertisers, giving them free ad design.” was 35 years ago, the publishers said. For Rucker, the decision to stick with “It’s always been the phrase that we print is also somewhat personal.

Commentary

BY ELLIE RIPLEY

Wind is not the answer It’s a false dream of unreliable energy

he plan to construct a wind farm offshore of Morro Bay is based on a whole lot of hope and not much credibility. It all looks good on paper but there are many faults and drawbacks. Starting with the construction issues, construction will take some considerable time and that means many construction workers will move to the area and contribute to the declining economy from the possible closure of Diablo Canyon Power Plant. However, this will not continue after construction. The maintenance on the wind turbines will not need near the number of employees for maintenance, so construction workers will most likely return to where they came from or be looking for jobs elsewhere. The American Jobs Plan is not destined to fulfill a lasting solution to economic stability in San Luis Obispo County. There is the matter of where these wind turbines will be placed. The plan is for them to be situated far offshore where the wind is actually less reliable than closer to shore. The changes in temperature closer to land are what determine the wind factor. The dangers, which cannot be denied, are many. Construction in deep water will be treacherous not only during construction but during maintenance. There are also many environmental issues to address, which seem to be minimized. There is no factual or reasonable replacement for Diablo Canyon. There’s nothing to replace the amount of sustainable, constant, reliable clean energy supplied by Diablo Canyon. There’s nothing to replace the 1,500-plus full-time positions. Also the employees whose incomes depend on refueling and maintenance outages and the local businesses—which depend on the number of workers who come every few months and stay in the motels, eat out, and purchase goods—are something this county and northern Santa Barbara County depend on. As I have said time after time, there is no perfect solution to maintain a consistent source of clean energy to supply our considerable energy needs.

There’s nothing to replace the amount of sustainable, constant, reliable clean energy supplied by Diablo Canyon.

Every source has a downside. Many tend to ignore the critical issues of energy sources or have exaggerated, misleading mindsets. The New Green Deal may be green but not a good deal! There’s no receiving something 100 percent if it’s not available 100 percent. You can fill up your gas tank and depending on how far you go, how fast you drive, whether on the open road or with multiple stops, the gas will last just so long. It’s not so different with wind and solar. If it’s available it can be useful; if it’s not available, it’s not able to provide the energy needed consistently and reliably. One hundred percent renewable power is a false dream and will not come true. ∆ Ellie Ripley writes about Diablo Canyon Power Plant from Arroyo Grande.

Letters Bribery charges against former Supervisor Adam Hill The bribery charges against the late Adam Hill, former 3rd District county supervisor, are small local versions of all the stewing garbage left behind by a defeated ex-president. In the 1970s, during a meeting of the Board of Supervisors, one agenda item was to consider subdividing a large agricultural parcel between Atascadero and Morro Bay. The owner wanted to have several much smaller (and more saleable) parcels. Such changes were routinely approved by the three so-called “pro-growth” supervisors. That parcel, however, was located in the 5th District, my district, and along with 3rd District Supervisor Kurt Kupper, I opposed it. That morning, before our board meeting, the property owner called and asked me if there was anything he could do to get me to change my vote. I told him: “No, don’t even think about that possibility.” During that era, teachers often brought whole classes of students to supervisors meetings in order to witness how local government works. On that day, such a class and its teacher were sitting in the last few rows of the (then

Failure to lead I n a month, Californians will have an opportunity to send a message to Democrats across the nation that regular Americans, (meaning those without special privilege of wealth or political influence beyond their individual ballot) are fed up and are holding them accountable. I refer to the recall election for Gov. Gavin Newsom. The San Luis Obispo Tribune was in an editorial lather on Sunday defending the indefensible by sounding the alarm that this election has national implications, and so it has. The Democratic supermajority in the California Legislature has worked overtime in putting this state into an economic ditch while it pays off political favors to multiple constituencies whose self-interest seldom benefits the people of this state. Pick an issue, be it crime (which is overwhelming law enforcement in every major city in the state due in large part to the orchestrated campaign of Democrat activists to debase and delegitimize the police), water, energy, or the environment and Newsom has failed to lead. Newsom supported radical calls for defunding police by millions of dollars and stripping peace officers of “qualified immunity,” which protects them from malicious lawsuits designed to personally bankrupt officers for doing the job we pay them to do—protecting us from the most vicious members of our society. Even if an officer avoids bankruptcy, they face exorbitant legal fees. What officer will engage in the proactive policing that enables an officer to actually deter crimes, especially violent felonies committed against the most vulnerable of our populations? In the inner cities and minority-dominated neighborhoods, street gangs hold a reign of terror on local inhabitants without fear of police intervention. On a lower scale, our homeless population, consisting of the mentally ill to extremely violent predators, renders our business districts and parks unsafe for moms, kids, or anyone else, with often obscene, violent behavior and massive litter. For a time these folks took over Venice Beach until the local police chief bucked the “woke tide” and cleaned up the beach area, following the law but aggressively using every tool in his toolbox to return the beach to local residents. Literally tons of garbage were removed along with so many hypodermic needles that they had to remove tons of beach sand and replace it lest a child get a needlestick while playing on the beach. So how could Gov. Newsom have done better? First, he should have stood up against the tide of popular opinion in his own party and demanded that they stand down, back up his officers, and tell the special advocacy groups to pack sand (literally). Thanks to Newsom and his party, there isn’t a major California city that is fit for ordinary citizens to live, work, or play. Major retail chains are closing up shop in city after city due to the effects of Proposition 47, which handcuffed police and exposed merchants to the continuous loss of inventory via legalized theft: $950/day per incident, every store, every day of the month.

If major retail chains retreat and are closing shop, how do you expect mom-andpops to survive? Newsom should have led the public and demanded Proposition 47’s repeal—but he did nothing. On every major issue Newsom has failed: He’s still spending more than $100 billion on a high-speed passenger train to nowhere instead of killing this white elephant. It might make sense as a freight line that cleared passenger rail service on the coast but not in the Central Valley. Newsom continues to ignore the drought and common sense. Water is the biggest “sleeper issue” for Californians but it affects all of us. He’s denying water to California farmers, water they paid for, to flush it out to sea. He’s tearing down hydroelectric dams in Oregon that provided emission-free electrical power and water for dry years even as Californians are facing rolling power blackouts and water rationing indefinitely. He’s imposed arbitrary deadlines for conversion to an all-electric economy even though there isn’t enough power to support it; he’s not building power plants to replace lost energy while ignoring the massive, immoral environmental and human damage he will inflict on Californians and the most vulnerable overseas. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he repeatedly ignored the rules he imposed upon us, kept his winery open but closed thousands of other businesses while maintaining personal privilege for his family. He continues to rule by decree, ignoring the Legislature by altering more than 400 laws, according to a lawsuit filed against Newsom. Even Democrats are displeased with his actions. Newsom also parrots political talking points on COVID-19, ignores scientific studies that challenge “woke dogma,” and is a slave to public employee unions. Ask the parent of a public school student if they feel supported by Newsom and his union cronies that kept California schools closed when other states were open. The cardinal sins of any politician are arrogance, a sense of entitlement, and a failure to lead: Newsom is guilty on all three counts. Californians need leadership, and I believe it’s time we elect someone who’s not a child of privilege. ∆ Al Fonzi had a 35-year military career, serving in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

Opinion

The Shredder

Same as it ever was

don’t like to speak ill of the dead—they can’t defend themselves—but can we all agree former 3rd District SLO County Supervisor Adam Hill accepted bribes? When he committed suicide, he was under FBI investigation, and now that cannabis magnate and Natural Healing Center owner Helios Dayspring pleaded guilty to giving Hill $32,000 for favorable votes for his pot farms, it’s time to face the facts about Hill. This little office appliance generally liked Hill’s stance on issues, but that didn’t stop me from shredding his bombastic, bullying, and often-boorish behavior, his strong-arm fundraising “techniques,” or his inability to control his temper. I didn’t, however, believe he was capable of accepting bribes. Turns out, I was wrong and he was dirty. I bring this up because the silence from the SLO County Democratic Party about these Adam Hill revelations has been deafening. I know liberals like to think they’re always on the righteous side—the side protecting the vulnerable. In this case, Hill—who for more than a decade was the face of the local Democratic Party—was the bad guy, so where the hell is the outrage from within? Hey supervisors Bruce Gibson and Dawn Ortiz-Legg! Hey SLO County Democratic Party Chair Rita Casaverde! Any comment? Hello? As of Aug. 11, the SLO Dems’ website still listed Adam Hill as 3rd District supe! Where’s the embarrassment of being

associated with his corruption? Is this lack of condemnation of Hill’s behavior complacence, neglect, complicity, or mere hypocrisy? Someone needs to tell the public what the Democrats stand for, or the public is going to assume they’re for bribery if it furthers their political agenda. I get that critical race theory is the current front line of the ongoing culture war, which is why Casaverde has been going on about a “gaslighting email” the Republicans sent out about Resolution 21-27, which aimed to ban the teaching of CRT in the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District. It’s easier to continue this fight rather than face the elephant of Adam Hill filling every smoke-filled political room in the county. Until the Democrats stand up and acknowledge and denounce Hill’s corruption as forcefully as possible, he will be a weapon to attack liberal ideas and other liberal politicians. While we’re on the CRT topic, however, I have to point out that the Republican letter reads, “We should not be teaching that one group of people are the oppressors and the other group of people are the victims,” which is why Casaverde and others are worried about the loosely worded—and recently passed by a district school board more than half full of oppressors—Resolution 21-27 and how it will be interpreted and enforced. Can you teach slavery without acknowledging

thoughts as a result of having to wear “that one group of people were oppressors” a mask.” They also cited a UK study of and the other “victims”? 11,000 people that found “consistent mask The Republican Party of San wearing had no association with poorer Luis Obispo has also been circulating mental health. In fact, the researchers a fearmongering flyer calling for the found that people who adhered to facerecall of Lucia Mar Unified School covering guidelines actually had better Board members Colleen Martin, Dee mental health than those who did not.” Santos, and Don Stewart. “It’s about Kids are resilient, and most want to the children!” the flyer implores, going on learn and return to school and their to claim that these three board members social lives. If wearing masks is the price pushed through Character Strong they pay, they can do it. The sooner the curriculum, which “has links associated vaccine holdouts and anti-maskers jump with social emotional learning (SEL), on the health bandwagon, the sooner we which is a new name for critical race theory.” Oh my! Lions and tigers and bears! can squash this pandemic and get back to arguing about homelessness. Who am I Scary stuff! SEL aims to teach kidding?

Character Strong is teaching homeless population, the county will patience, kindness, honesty, respect, instead open a safe parking program humility, etc. I know! That sounds very unAmerican!

No boundaries The Mavericks and Los Lobos play Vina Robles

’d be hard-pressed to name two more genre-hopping, inventive, eclectic bands than The Mavericks and Los Lobos, who share the bill this Saturday, Aug. 14 at Vina Robles Amphitheatre (7 p.m.; all ages; $45 to $55 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). The definition of “maverick” is an “unorthodox or independent-minded person,” which sums up The Mavericks nicely. Ostensibly a country band, they came up in Miami’s punk and alternative rock scene and combine Tex-Mex, Tejanoinfused rock, and neo-country sounds that stray beyond the bounds of what many people consider country music. Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Los Lobos (Spanish for The Wolves), who in their 1978 debut offhandedly called themselves “just another band from east LA,” are anything but just another band. They play rock, sure, but also Tex-Mex, country, zydeco, folk, R&B, and soul, as well as traditional Mexican music such as cumbia, boleros, and norteños. They also supplied the new versions of Ritchie Valens’ music for the 1987 film La Bamba. Both bands are known for their exhilarating live shows, and this promises to be a real barnburner! Also this week at Vina Robles, check out punk icons Rise Against on their Nowhere Generation tour with Descendents and The Menzingers on Wednesday, Aug. 18 (7 p.m.; all ages; $39.50 to $59.50 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). “A year without live music in a time when we needed it most has been trying for all of us,” Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath said in press materials. “Live music has been missing from all of our lives for far too long. We can’t wait to fix that on the ‘Nowhere Generation tour.’ It’s been a long year, and we have a lot to say about it.”

Rock a Brazilian

Numbskull and Good Medicine have two great shows cooked up for you this week. The always popular AC/DC tribute band High Voltage plays The Siren on Friday, Aug. 13 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $15 at eventbrite.com or $20 at the door). These guys just rip! If you dig AC/DC, you’re going to be floored by how amazing they are at re-creating the famed Aussie rockers. They even bring in bagpiper Paul Dunn to complete the effect. SambaDá plays Castoro Cellars on Saturday, Aug. 14 (6 p.m.; all ages; $20 at eventbrite.com or $25 at the door), featuring Brazilian natives Papiba Godinho and Dandha da Hora, who “bring their profound knowledge and respect for the roots of Brazilian and Afro-Brazilian song and dance.” Their combination of samba-reggae-funk musically unites the Americas and Africa.

EDM and the Dead

SLO Brew Rock has two killer shows this week starting with electronic music violinist Tropo and opener Nok Nok on Saturday, Aug. 14 (7 p.m.; 18-andolder; free)with visuals by Light Eyes and performances by Liz Crosby, Nikki Pesce, and Emilia Friedberg. This one’s going to be triptastic! Grateful Dead tribute act Rosebud plays on Sunday, Aug. 15 (4 to 7 p.m.; all ages; free). This one’s outdoors in the sunshine, and hopefully band member Scott Cooper will debut his bopping new single, “Cutting the Rug,” about a woman who loves to dance: “Cutting the rug, it’s her favorite drug.” I know some people like that!

Concerts in the Plaza continues this Friday, Aug. 13 (5 to 8 p.m.; all ages; free), with hard pop brass band Brass Mash, known for mashing up two songs in a new arrangement for a horn and percussion. They put on an amazing live show, an they’re great for dancing. Back Bay Betty plays the Concerts on the Green series at Sea Pines Golf Resort on Saturday, Aug. 14 (2 to 6 p.m.; all ages; free). “It’s finally time to play and be together outside at our favorite local live music venue!” said the band. “Bring your lawn chairs, enjoy awesome food and drinks served all afternoon from the patio, kick off your shoes, and dance to our originals, classics, and funky blues! This is a familyfriendly event (including fur babies!). Opening the show is Tumbling Dice, a new Rolling Stones tribute band who happens to share our rhythm section! See you there!” All original Afro-Caribbean dance band The Zongo All-Stars plays the Point San Luis Lighthouse on Saturday, Aug. 14 (3 to 7 p.m.; all-ages; $35 with shuttle ride; $20 if you paddle in by kayak or SUP; $400 for a table for eight with shuttle and two bottles of wine at my805tix.com). This will be an amazing show perched on a bluff above the blue Pacific. Up in the Air brings their worldbeat sounds to Atascadero’s Bristols Cider this Saturday, Aug. 14 (7 to 9:30 p.m.; free).

Internationally renowned artist Mark di Suvero’s work comes to the SLOMA

f you happen to go by the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, you’ll see something new on the lawn outside the building on the corner of Monterey and Broad Streets: a 4-ton monumental sculpture called Mamma Mobius by painter, sculptor, and 2010 National Medal of the Arts recipient Mark di Suvero. If you wander inside the gallery, you’ll see a new collection of the lifelong peace and social justice activist’s paintings and sculptures called History and its Shadow. How did this internationally celebrated artist, whose work is collected in more than 100 museums and public collections, end up showing new works in SLO? You can thank SLOMA’s new executive director, Leann Standish, who met di Suvero about 20 years ago when she was working at Michigan’s Frederick Meyers Sculpture Gardens where di Suvero was installing one of his monumental pieces. Standish, di Suvero, and his wife, Heidi, have been friends ever since. Suvero, 87, was born to Italian parents in Shanghai, China, and immigrated to the U.S. as a child. His art training began early on. “As children, we used to go to the Legion of Honor in San Francisco at Land’s End to do art classes,” di Suvero recalled. “Malo [the grandmother of di Suvero’s childhood best friend] took us in as refugees, just arriving from China. She let us live in her basement. She trained children in arts and crafts. Many years later, I became a junior art counselor on her trips to the redwoods and giant redwoods.” Even earlier, di Suvero had an eye for art: “Before I was 7 years old and came to the U.S., I went to the Forbidden City in Peking. The architecture is fabulous.” Di Suvero and his wife now live in Bodega Bay but also have homes in New York City and Paris. He has deep ties to the Central Coast. “When I was 18 years old, I trained as a boat builder and rebuilt a sunken lifeboat and fitted it with sails and a bunk below deck,” he explained. “I sailed it to Santa Barbara from San Francisco. On the way back, in the middle of a night storm, I ended up shipwrecking northwest of Avila Beach. About a year later, I bought a steel lifeboat and sailed it to near Avila Beach.” He also attended UCSB, and an exhibition in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art inspired him to dedicate his life to creating art. Unfortunately, he was paralyzed in a construction site accident in 1960 and uses a wheelchair or sometimes crutches to get around. A couple of years ago, one of his legs was amputated after it was badly burned in a welding accident—yet none of that seems to have slowed him down. He operates a crane to create his massive sculptures, telling NPR in an interview a few years ago that he uses the crane like a painter uses a brush.

SLOMA members are invited to the museum for an artist’s reception on Aug. 13 (5 p.m.; become a member at sloma.org/join), and the exhibition will be open to the public on from Aug. 14 through Nov. 7. The artist’s monumental 4-ton sculpture, Mamma Mobius, will be installed by crane outside the museum on Aug. 12 at 10 a.m., which will require closing a section of Monterey Street.

BLACK LIGHT SPECIAL Mark di Suvero’s new phosphorescent paintings are inspired by the coastal phenomenon of dinoflagellate bioluminescence—single-celled organisms that sometimes create a blue glow in the ocean at night.

CURIOUS MIND The work of painter and sculptor Mark di Suvero, on display the SLOMA, is informed by his interest in “music, philosophy, and the theory of mathematics.”

The new sculpture outside SLOMA, Mamma Mobius, is part of an ongoing series the artist started decades ago. “I’ve been doing Mobius bands in steel, stainless steel, and brass since the 1960s,” he noted. “It’s a beautiful, one-sided topological form.” Inspired by “music, philosophy, and the theory of mathematics,” the sculpture is also an example of his deep intellectual curiosity that also informs his painting. His new series, History and its Shadow, uses phosphorescent and fluorescent paints that are visible in daylight and under a black light, inspired by the coastal phenomenon of dinoflagellate bioluminescence, the single-celled organisms that sometimes create a blue glow in the water at night. “I’ve been painting for almost 70 years, and the inspiration for painting has always been the ability to use color,” he explained. “For me,

painting is the truth that colors together cause emotions, just like wind and humidity make a storm. In order to see the ultraviolet dimension of these paintings, they need to be in the dark and use a black light. Some of the pigments just glow in the dark; some require ultraviolet to activate. There are many ways to see this world, and the exploration—for example, of paintings made for ultraviolet and normal light—is a hint of the complex way that the world works.” Mamma Mobius and History and its Shadow are big wins for the SLOMA, and Standish couldn’t be happier about the collaboration with her longtime friend. “We are really, really stoked,” she said. “Mark is one of the world’s most acclaimed artists of our time, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share his inspiring work with San Luis Obispo and the larger California community. All of us at SLOMA are deeply grateful to Mark for sharing this world premiere exhibition at our museum.” SLOMA has also partnered with city of San Luis Obispo to manage its public art program for the next two years and possibly beyond, and MUSIC Mamma Mobius will be the newest addition to the city’s extensive collection, which at times has been a subject of controversy. Art is, after FLAVOR all, subjective. “I really believe art starts a dialogue,” Standish noted. “I don’t like every piece of art INFO that I see, but I appreciate art.” Earlier this year, Standish oversaw the CALEND large-scale mural, Pacificaribbean, curated by Emma Saperstein and painted on the museum’s exterior by renowned artist Juan OPINION Alberto Negroni. “Juan’s mural around the building—we NEWS watched people feel ownership. He invited people to help paint it, saying, ‘Now it’s yours,’” Standish said. STROKE “That’s what public art can ARTS do, and Juan’s piece taught Send gallery, stage, us what out and cultural festivities to neighbors need arts@newtimesslo.com. and want.” ∆

Soul man

riter-director Edson Oda in his feature-length debut helms this supernatural drama about Will (Winston Duke), a reclusive man who conducts interviews with human souls to determine whether they should be given a chance at being born in a process that takes nine days. (124 min.) Glen Sometimes the story is in the telling, and this very simple story is beautifully told and requests a hefty emotional thought experiment of the viewer. Will spends his days watching TV monitors that track the moment-to-moment lives of souls he formerly sent to live out their human existence. He watches—among others—a woman preparing for her blissful wedding, a timid school boy relentlessly bullied by his classmates, and his favorite, Amanda‚ a gifted concert violinist. His only companion is Kyo (Benedict Wong), who comes over for tea and tries to keep Will on an even keel. When Amanda crashes her car before a big recital and dies, her TV screen goes to the “test” pattern, and Will knows that the next day a group of newly created souls will arrive at his desert home, and he’ll need to interview them to determine which one is best suited for a chance at a successful life. Unlike Kyo, Will was once alive, and there’s a suggestion that Will’s life was difficult, which makes him the perfect arbitrator. Will’s big conundrum is whether to pick a soul strong enough to endure life’s difficulties or someone kind and gentle. It’s a salient question. Is it better to go through life protecting yourself from pain or is it better to go with an open heart that can be easily damaged? The two leading candidates for the dichotomy are Kane (Bill Skarsgård) and Emma (Zazie Beetz), respectively, and the various questions and tasks Will assigns them and how they respond also test Will’s notions of what a life well lived actually means. Anna Will is somehow detached from his life before, yet he wears it as a badge—his once being alive makes him feel superior at arbitration, but in reality it only makes him more human. We meet five prospects. The lightness of only being a soul allows them to accept their tasks easily and without question at first; either they make it through to the end or they don’t. In the beginning, it seems so easy for the recruits—they don’t seem to worry too much, or wonder. The weight of mortality

HBO Max ’ve been a fan of Tig Notaro and her particularly tonal, dry comedy for a long time, so any TV special she puts out, I’m going to watch. Drawn adds in the element of animation, something I wasn’t sure was working for me for the first few minutes but that quickly delighted me as Notaro walked us through stories both anecdotal and personal. Whether it’s taking the audience through the process of the Kool-Aid Man’s signature burst through walls or a hilarious tale of a wisdom teeth removal gone wrong, Notaro manages to make even tough stuff seem pretty funny.

commercial director in his home country of Brazil (he’s of Japanese descent) with a thriving career in advertising. I’ll say one thing: This is one hell of a feature-length debut. He won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the Sundance Film Festival for it. Booth Beetz and Duke took home Excellence in Acting Awards from the Denver International Film Festival, and the Film Independent Spirit Awards nominated Wong for Best Supporting Male and Oda for the top prize of Independent Spirit. It truly is a singular vision, SONG OF MYSELF Will (Winston Duke, left) must and performances by Duke interview new human souls, like Emma (Zazie Beetz, and Beetz elevate the film. right), to determine if they’re worthy of life, in Nine Days. I also need to mention Tony Hale as Alexander, who first wheedles, NINE DAYS then begs, then attacks Will in his effort What’s it rated? R to be chosen. Hale’s terrific in the role. When? 2020 This is a small, fairly low-budget film Where’s it showing? Galaxy, Palm Theatre ($10 million, I read, shot in just 25 days), What’s it worth, Anna? Full price and a potent reminder of what can be What’s it worth, Glen? Full price accomplished outside the studio system. It’s a beautiful vision. Anna Hale is wonderful here—perhaps doesn’t exist in their world, but soon we the most “human” of all the candidates, see those cracks start to arise as they and Skarsgård turns out a great learn through Will’s television screens performance as Kane, a cynical realist and psychological tests what it really who if chosen would enter the world with means to live a life, to be human, to sit in a chip already on his shoulder. While love and fear, and to experience the utter most of the film happens within the beauty that we all take for granted every walls of Will’s house, the exterior shots day. This film made me cry at the simple are arresting. Nothing but a dusty plane beauty of a bicycle ride and what it feels with not a neighbor or tree in sight, with like to run your hands through the sand. This is all about small moments that those the house planted firmly in the middle of all that nothing. It’s impressive that this not lucky enough to make it to day nine is Oda’s first full-length film. It really choose to have just once, and about the resolute and seemingly detached character is a work of art, one that manages to keep several balls in the air and begs its of Will—how he reconciles denying a soul audience to feel the dark, deep recesses a chance at life. When Amanda dies, Will of what it means to be and to live, and starts to question everything, and recruit Emma is like a sliver under his fingernail: where true importance lies. This is a heavy one, and I can see some audience irritating and unreachable, something he members feeling it’s a bit out of reach, but must grapple with. It’s a character study instead of being pretentious, I argue it in moments, but in the end, this film is invites pondering. The end is particularly about the nuances of being human, and meaningful, and Duke turns in a how both beautiful and flawed all of the beautiful performance. This is definitely messiness of life can be. worth the price of admission.

Instead of sticking with one style of animation, the filmmaker switches it up from segment to segment, a wonderful tactic to keep the audience engaged despite not actually watching the stand-up comic perform. If you’re familiar with Notaro, you most likely know she battled breast cancer, and while she was a comic before her doublemastectomy, it’s become ingrained in her act. She has a talent for keeping it real, even when that’s uncomfortable. Her usual timing and brand of comedy is on point here. (60 min.) —Anna

riter-director James Gunn (Super, Guardians of the Galaxy) helms this outrageous new installment of the Suicide Squad franchise. I can almost imagine Gunn’s pitch to Hollywood’s money people: “We airdrop a bunch of homicidal reprobates into an island jungle for a gory, bloody battle, and they have to fight their way to a secret installation where for 30 years an alien starfish has been experimented on, and it gets loose and rampages like a giant kaiju across the island amassing a zombie army of people whose brains are controlled by smaller starfish.” Yeah, OK! Sounds great! This time around,

unscrupulous U.S. government stooge Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) recruits super villains Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Peacemaker (John Cena), and other Belle Reve Prison convicts to join Col. Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) and Task Force X on a mission to Corto Maltese to face the starfish. It’s violent, funny, wicked, madcap, subversive, and occasionally emotionally resonant, and it has Sylvester Stallone voicing King Shark, a dumb but lovable anthropomorphized great white with a taste for human flesh. The flick’s sort of wonderful and ridiculous, and it’s much better than earlier incarnations. (132 min.) Δ —Glen

Painting pastries Monika’s Macarons in SLO creates works of edible art that are an ode to the founder’s family

acarons and macaroons derive from the same Italian word maccherone—meaning paste, pasta, or pastry—but they are completely distinct cookies. The semantic difference boils down to an extra “o,” but the taste difference is worlds apart. Monika Anderson’s macarons are definitely not American drop cookies made with shredded coconut. They are delicate French confections that look like works of fine art. PHOTO COURTESY OF MONIKA’S MACARONS

PORTRAIT OF PISTACHIO “Making beautiful, delicious handcrafted pastries that put a smile on someone’s face and also allow me to honor … my stepfather [artist Andy Lakey]” are what Monika Anderson said her macaron business is all about.

Cooking with art

Monika’s Macarons is located at 1127 Broad St., suite A. For current hours, visit macaronsinslo.com. Follow the bakery on Facebook and Instagram @monikasmacarons. Follow food blogger Nancy Waltz on Facebook and Instagram @cookingwithasideofsunshine.

Anderson, owner and founder of Monika’s Macarons in downtown San Luis Obispo, was raised on the Central Coast in a hotbed of culinary and artistic talent. Her primarily French-born family includes amateur chefs on the female side, and professional artists on the male side. Her mother and late grandmother instilled in her a love of French-inspired cuisine, while her artistic talents flourished under her father, Lucasfilm artist Steve Anderson, and her stepfather, the late Andy Lakey, known for his depictions of angels. Lakey’s paintings and mixed media are displayed across the globe in private and public collections, including the Blind Children’s Center of Los Angeles. Anderson was most impacted by her stepfather’s tactile pieces, which he referred to as “sensualism.” Monika’s Macarons, which opened its doors in January 2021, is an ode to Lakey’s efforts to enable artistic appreciation through touch. Only Anderson has taken his vision one step further with the sense of taste. Food blogger Nancy Waltz, of Grover Beach, visited Anderson’s bakery recently, intending to simply sample a macaron, but she was instead blown away by the sensorial impact of food as art. The immersive experience begins as soon as you enter the shop, with its “warm, inviting, French farmhouse” ambience, said Waltz, who publishes the blog Cooking with a Side of Sunshine. Waltz tried the blueberry cream, lemon, and chocolate macarons. She noted the “light, crispiness of meringue followed by a gratifying chewiness of a decadent spongy layer before my taste buds were introduced to the creamy filling.” “I savored each bite, taking in the

perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and chewy nuances, and smiling throughout the entire experience,” she said. She was equally impressed by the visual presentation. “They were beautiful and artistic,” she said. “I loved the ombré and dazzle of edible glitter.” Anderson painstakingly airbrushes her macarons with food coloring, then lightly dusts several flavors with 24-carat edible gold. She said, oftentimes she’s at the bakery 10 to 12 hours straight, six days a week, but “no matter how exhausted I am, painting and decorating is the part that re-energizes me. My work is an interesting combination of art and pastry.” It also takes her back to her apprenticeship with Lakey, who used 22-karat gold leaf applied to mixed media surfaces for his angel series. Anderson performed detail work for Lakey from 1996 to 2010, assisting with thousands of pieces. “That’s where my inspiration comes from as far as what the macarons look like,” she said. Lakey’s passing in 2012 coincided with the launch of her macaron business,

which had begun several years earlier as a hobby. She started selling her artfully decorated macarons out of EAT Marketplace in Temecula, where she resided for more than a decade before returning to San Luis Obispo in 2018. After a short stint as the pastry chef at Los Osos’ Blue Heron restaurant, she decided to open her own bakery. In 2020 she found the perfect spot next to Big Sky Café on Broad Street, then COVID-19 shut down the state’s nonessential business sector. Rather than despair, she used the time to decorate her new 2,400-square-foot shop and finetune her recipes, the crown jewel being her grandmother’s version of French buttercream. Anderson said flawless buttercream is the key to the macaron’s flavor. The outer meringue-based layers provide a beautiful presentation for the heart of the pastry, Anderson said. “I use a buttercream containing highly whipped eggs with sugar that gets cooked down and reduced, then you add butter to it when it cools,” she explained. “Then

Flavor décor items—hours of business have been evolving over the past six months as she hires more workers and adds more products. Additionally, she is working on a beer and wine license. “We want to do a mimosa bar,” she said. “We can do some cute pairings with macarons and maybe decorate the glasses with matching colored sugar rims. Anderson’s new venture has been fulfilling, but there’s one item left on her agenda. “I’m happy to be able to honor what I learned from Andy,” she said. “It’s a very personal process for me when I airbrush the macarons. I feel like he gave me this gift that I get to share with others.” But he had one more request—that Anderson continue his work in “sensualism” by teaching the tactile art form to others. The method uses raised paint on textured wood, and, of course, heavenly symbolism. “I’m the only person he taught this technique to,” she said. “I want to share his vision and gift to the world.” In San Luis Obispo, at least one customer, food blogger Waltz, thinks she’s already honoring his legacy, as well as her grandmother’s. Anderson’sMUSIC pastries were “beauty at first sight,” Waltz said. “And I walked away with FLAVOR/EATS a dozen more macarons … for personal research.” ∆

FLAVOR from page 30

I will add natural flavoring, such as pistachio nut and almond extract for the pistachio macarons. I do not use artificial flavors. Period.” Anderson also offers more than macarons. Her display case is filled with a wide assortment of handcrafted pastries and savory items, all of which are glutenfree. Her tea comes from nearby organic herb shop the Secret Garden, while her coffee is imported from Washington state. Her products and ingredients reflect her motto to source responsibly— always—and locally, when possible. Her motto is also a nod to EAT Marketplace owner and founder Leah Di Bernardo, who Anderson credited with giving her business its start and, on a grander scale, instilling in her the principle of supporting ethical food suppliers. She added that she’s in the process of finding fresh, local eggs. If she can’t find local products that meet her standards, she’ll branch out beyond the Central Coast. Her coffee beans, for instance, come from Roast House in Spokane. Roast House is owned by Di Bernardo’s sister, Deborah Di Bernardo, who will travel as far as Africa to meet growers and confirm ethical practices.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing to consider the adoption of a Resolution modifying the service area boundaries of the San Luis Obispo Valley Basin – County of San Luis Obispo Groundwater Sustainability Agency (County GSA) to align with the revised City of San Luis Obispo (City) boundary as identified in the San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation Commission Resolutions 2018-08 and 2020-10. Background On May 23, 2017, the County formed the County GSA over the County’s portion of the San Luis Obispo Valley Groundwater Basin (SLO Basin) to comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). At that time, the County GSA’s service area covered all portions of the SLO Basin, as identified in the State Department of Water Resources’ Bulletin 118, not otherwise covered by the City limits. Since then, the City has completed two annexations from the County. These annexation areas include the San Luis Ranch area near Madonna Road (Annexation No. 80) and the Fiero East-West area near the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (Annexation No. 81). Consistent with the policy and stated intent of the County’s SGMA Strategy and Resolution 2017-146, the County is considering action to modify the boundaries of the County GSA to withdraw from serving as the GSA for said areas. Should the Board of Supervisors decide to adopt the Resolution such action would allow for modification of the County GSA boundaries to align with the City’s updated boundaries and maintain compliance with SGMA requirements. Hearing Information Date and Time:

Tuesday, August 24, 2021 (9:00 a.m.)

Location:

County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors Chambers 1055 Monterey Street, #D170 San Luis Obispo, CA 93408

Members of the public will be allowed to make oral and written comments during the hearing. Oral comments will be limited to 3 minutes per individual.

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): “Consecrate” isn’t a word you often encounter in intellectual circles. In my home country of America, many otherwise smart people spurn the possibility that we might want to make things sacred. And a lot of art aspires to do the opposite of consecration: strip the world of holiness and mock the urge to commune with sanctified experiences. But filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) expressed a contradictory view. He wrote, “I am not interested in deconsecrating: that’s a fashion I hate. I want to reconsecrate things as much as possible, I want to re-mythicize them.” In accordance with astrological omens, Aries, I invite you to look for opportunities to do the same.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ancient Greek philosopher Plato mistrusted laughter, poetry, bright colors, and artists who used bright colors. All those soulful activities influenced people to be emotional, Plato thought, and therefore represented a threat to rational, orderly society. Wow! I’m glad I don’t live in a culture descended from Plato! Oh, wait, I do. His writing is foundational to Western thought. One modern philosopher declared, “The European philosophical tradition consists of a series of footnotes to Plato.” Anyway, I’m counseling you to rebel against Plato in the coming weeks. You especially need experiences that awaken and please and highlight your feelings. Contrary to Plato’s fears, doing this will boost your intelligence and enhance your decision-making powers.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Anais Nin wrote, “I don’t want worship. I want understanding.” George Orwell said, “Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.” Poet Marina Tsvetaeva declared, “For as long as I can remember, I thought I wanted to be loved. Now I know: I don’t need love, I need understanding.” Here’s what I’ll add, Taurus: If you ask for understanding and seek it out, a wealth of it will be available to you in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The English idiom “playing hard to get” means “pretending to be unavailable or uninterested so as to make oneself more attractive or desirable.” Psychologists say this strategy often works, although it’s crucial not to go too far and make your pursuer lose interest. Seventeenth-century philosopher Baltasar Gracián expressed the concept more philosophically. He said, “Leave people hungry. Even with physical thirst, good taste’s trick is to stimulate it, not quench it. What’s good, if sparse, is twice as good. A surfeit of pleasure is dangerous, for it occasions disdain even towards what’s undisputedly excellent. Hard-won happiness is twice as enjoyable.” I suggest you consider deploying these strategies, Gemini.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Painter John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) sometimes worked alongside painter Claude Monet (18401926) at Monet’s home. He sought the older man’s guidance. Before their first session, Sargent realized there was no black among the paint colors Monet gave him to work with. What?! Monet didn’t use black? Sargent was shocked. He couldn’t imagine painting without it. And yet, he did fine without it. In fact, the apparent limitation compelled him to be creative in ways he hadn’t previously imagined. What would be your metaphorical equivalent, Cancerian: a limitation that inspires?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to Leo author Guy de Maupassant, “We are in the habit of using our eyes only with the memory of what people before us have thought about the things we are looking at.” That’s too bad. It causes us to miss a lot of life’s richness. In fact, said de Maupassant, “There is an element of the unexplored in everything. The smallest thing contains a little of what is unknown.” Your assignment in the next two weeks, Leo, is to take his thoughts to heart. In every experience, engage “with enough attention to find an aspect of it that no one has ever seen or spoken of.” You are in a phase when you could discover and enjoy recordbreaking levels of novelty.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Poet Brigit Pegeen Kelly wrote a poem I want you to know about. She described how, when she was a child, she stayed up all night picking peaches from her father’s orchard by starlight. For hours, she climbed up and down the ladder. Her hands “twisted fruit” as if she “were entering a thousand doors.” When the stars faded and morning arrived, her insides felt like “the stillness a bell possesses just after it has been rung.” That’s the kind of experience I wish for you in the coming days, Virgo. I know it can’t be exactly the same. Can you imagine what the nearest equivalent might be? Make it happen!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A biography of Nobel Prize-winning Scorpio author Albert Camus noted that he had two modes. They are summed up in the French words solidaire (“unity”) and solitaire (“solitary”). When Camus was in a solidaire phase, he immersed himself in convivial engagement, enjoying the pleasures of socializing. But when he decided it was time to work hard on writing his books, he retreated into a monastic routine to marshal intense creativity. According to my astrological analysis, you Scorpios are currently in the solidaire phase of your rhythm. Enjoy it to the max! When might the next solitaire phase come? October could be such a time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): During the 76 years since the end of World War II, Italy has had 69 different governments. That’s a great deal of turnover! Is it a strength or weakness to have so many changes in leadership? On the one hand, such flexibility could be an asset; it might be wise to keep reinventing the power structure as circumstances shift. On the other hand, having so little continuity and stability may undermine confidence and generate stressful uncertainty. I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, because you’re entering a phase when you could be as changeable as Italy. Is that what you want? Would it serve you or undermine you? Make a conscious choice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn actor Nicholas Browne testifies, “My heart is too full; it overflows onto everything I see. I am drowning in my own heart. I’ve plunged into the deepness of emotion, and I don’t see any way back up. Still, I pray no one comes to save me.” I’m guessing that his profound capacity to feel and express emotions serves Browne well in his craft. While I don’t recommend such a deep immersion for you 24/7/365, I suspect you’ll be wise to embark on such an excursion during the next three weeks. Have fun diving! How deep can you go?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m calling on author Byron Katie to offer you a message. Is it infused with tough love or sweet encouragement? Both! Here’s Katie: “When you realize that suffering and discomfort are the call to inquiry, you may actually begin to look forward to uncomfortable feelings. You may even experience them as friends coming to show you what you have not yet investigated thoroughly enough.” Get ready to dive deeper than you’ve dared to go before, Aquarius. I guarantee you it will ultimately become fun and educational.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In August 1922, author Nikos Kazantzakis wrote this triumphant declaration: “All day today I’ve had the most gentle, quivering joy, because I’m beginning to heal. Consciously, happily, I feel that I am being born anew, that I am beginning once again to take possession of the light.” On behalf of the cosmic powers-that-be, I authorize you to use these words as your own in the coming weeks. They capture transformations that are in the works for you. By speaking Kazantzakis’s declarations aloud several times every day, you will ensure that his experience will be yours, too. ∆
