Dawn Addis plans Assembly run after state releases draft district maps

ollowing her first attempt to capture the 35th Assembly District seat in 2020, Morro Bay City Councilmember Dawn Addis announced that she’ll be trying again in 2022—and this time around, the district’s boundaries and partisan breakdown may look quite different. Addis said her experience serving on City Council, co-founding Women’s March San Luis Obispo, being a classroom teacher, and working to expand child care through the We Are the Care Initiative are among the reasons why she’s prepared to represent the 35th District in Sacramento. “I’ve really led on a lot of important issues: Declaring a climate emergency in Morro Bay, and working on some of the largest projects on the Central Coast that can address climate, including battery storage and wind energy,” Addis said. “I deeply believe that housing, education, and health care are human rights, and I want to work for every person in the district to make sure that they get the representation they need.” In her 2020 run for the same seat, the Democrat captured just more than 103,000 voters, though it wasn’t enough to defeat incumbent Republican Jordan Cunningham, who won with 55 percent of the electorate. But in 2022, that electorate may look very different due to the statewide redistricting effort. Based on once-a-decade census data, redistricting will redraw boundary lines at all levels of government. California Assembly districts won’t be finalized for at least another month, but a draft map released Nov. 10 shows the 35th District losing more conservative areas like Northern Santa Barbara County, all while gaining parts of Democrat-majority counties

like Monterey and Santa Cruz. Under this preliminary draft map, Democrat registered voters would have a 17.7 point edge in the district, according to voter registration data from Political Data Inc., which Addis’ campaign believes would bode well for her on Election Day. “We believe the new Central Coast Assembly district will be very receptive to Dawn’s experience and values,” campaign spokesperson Michael Soneff told New ANOTHER RUN Morro Bay City Councilmember Dawn Addis announced Times in a written that she’ll be running for the state Assembly’s 35th District again, a district statement. that could be altered significantly in the ongoing redistricting process.

He insisted that the board school-closure decision Paso Robles’ school district is delaying its final decision on the possible closure of Georgia Brown Elementary School to early 2022, leaving several students and their families waiting for more than a year since the proposal was first announced. The elementary school is a transitional K-5 with a dual-immersion program that community members said served scores of students from lower-income and Spanish-speaking families. “As a former Bearcat alumni … who knows many of these families, I know for a fact that closing down the Georgia Brown school is going to hurt Hispanic families, bottom line,” said Paso People’s Action co-founder Yessenia Echevarria. The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District received a report from an advisory group called the 7-11 Committee, which evaluated surplus property for closure and sale to mitigate the district’s financial problems. According to previous New Times reporting, the committee voted on Sept. 21, 2020, to recommend closing the Georgia Brown Elementary School. At a community meeting in Flamson Middle School on Nov. 10, district Superintendent Curt Dubost said that the elementary school’s

hasn’t finalized its decision yet, but community members like Echevarria believe it’s already been decided. “We are now seeing ‘community input’ when we’re pretty much in the last phase of this ‘decision.’ It seems to me that the decision had already been made [to close the school],” she said. The Nov. 10 meeting was meant for students and families living within district boundaries to air their concerns about the possible school closure. Dubost said that the goal was to present the advantages and disadvantages of the alternative options if Georgia Brown is shuttered. Echevarria added that the meeting was planned hurriedly, and families were only given eight days’ notice. Community members couldn’t virtually tune in to the discussion as they usually would for school board meetings— they had to be physically present to give public comment, and Yessenia said no child care options were provided during the evening meeting. A Spanish version of the meeting also took place an hour later, and Glen Speck Elementary School teacher Kristin Usilton told New Times that it had its own share of problems.

“The Spanish meeting wasn’t the same as the English meeting, it almost felt like they were dumbing it down for the Mexican families. When they sent the Mexican families into small groups … instead of all of the community having time for public comment, they made all of them write down their opinions on poster paper,” Usilton said. “The district said they were going to collect the posters and reassess the options based on the public comment, but it’s frustrating because they didn’t let the community truly speak.” Theresa Braden, the executive secretary to the superintendent, mentioned that the focus committee and the dual-immersion school principal thought a separate meeting in Spanish would make Spanish-speaking families more comfortable. “We don’t believe the meeting was diluted. Our certified translator had reviewed the material ahead of time and was prepared. At times it can be difficult to translate some terms and abbreviations related to school district business, so we were cautious not to use unfamiliar terms. We stuck to the facts and delivered a free flow and clear understanding of the information,” Braden said. “We also were asked by the principals at the tables NEWS continued page 6

with the most parents present to reduce the introductory comments, to give the parents more time to discuss options and ask questions. The comment was they wanted to be heard, not hear more from us.” Assistant Superintendent Brad Pawlowski presented two options to community members if Georgia Brown closed. The dual-immersion program would either be moved to Glen Speck Elementary School or to Winifred Pifer Elementary School. But Echevarria and Usilton said that neither of these options was viable because the school district doesn’t have an effective bus system, forcing displaced students and their families to pay to cover the long distance. The meeting concluded with attendees breaking out into groups to discuss their concerns with the respective school principals. Dubost and Pawlowski didn’t announce when the decision about the closure would be declared. But Braden wrote in an email to New Times that “the plan is for the board to be able to make a decision by the second meeting in February 2022.” —Bulbul Rajagopal

SLO County hires detox center operator

San Luis Obispo County’s first-ever public detoxification center is a step closer to getting up and running. On Nov. 16, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Sun Street Centers, a Salinas-based nonprofit, to operate the 15-bed medically assisted withdrawal treatment center, located on the campus of the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center in SLO. Construction on the $1.7 million facility wrapped up in August, and now Sun Street Centers will seek state licensing for it. Officials expect it to have a soft opening in January and be fully operational by the spring. Once open, the center will be the first of its kind in the county—capable of serving any resident, regardless of income, under the Medi-Cal system. “We’re just so excited. It’s been a journey,” said Star Graber, a division manager at SLO County Drug and Alcohol Services. “The opioid epidemic is still here. The overdose death rate is still very high.” Since 2018, the local demand for residential drug and alcohol treatment services has more than tripled, according to county data, and the county’s opioid death rate stood 55 percent higher than the state’s in 2020. But to date, those in SLO County seeking care for their addictions have had to travel to treatment centers as far away as Hollister and Lancaster. The lone local resource is Bryan’s House, in Atascadero, which has six beds but only serves women. The new SLO detox center, Graber said, will enable clients to stay close to their families, jobs, and communities while they receive treatment and recover. At first, it will focus on male clients, Graber said. She added that the powerful and deadly nature of the current opioid crisis makes medically assisted detox centers that much more critical to fighting it. “The drugs have changed and they’ve become so much more severe,” she said.

“[A user’s] tolerance is so high now, they need that safe environment to come back down to a more reasonable level, and then we can administer medications to match that withdrawal.” SLO County’s Behavioral Health Department already contracts with Sun Street Centers’ detox facilities in Monterey and San Benito counties, making it a logical operating partner in SLO. Established in the Salinas Valley in the 1960s, the nonprofit has “a great track record” of providing services, Graber said. Sun Street Centers CEO Anna Foglia told New Times by phone that her organization “is really looking forward to supporting people in SLO, in town.” “There’s been a great need, especially during COVID,” Foglia said. “We hope to serve men and women who are ready to turn their lives around and seek longterm recovery.” —Peter Johnson

NAACP hosts vaccine clinic

The NAACP San Luis Obispo County Branch hopes to get vaccines into the arms of hard-to-reach and hesitant community members at an upcoming vaccine clinic. The clinic is planned for Nov. 21 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Paso Robles City Park gazebo, and NAACP is partnering with the SLO County Public Health Department to provide first and second COVID-19 vaccines to those 12 years old and older, booster shots for those eligible, and flu shots. Branch Secretary Cheryl Vines said the organization has been planning the event for a couple of months. “It’s only like 28 percent in San Luis Obispo County, of the Black community, who has actually received the vaccine,” Vines said. “So we wanted to provide education and then a place for them to come and actually receive the vaccine.” Dr. Joye Carter, forensic pathologist with the SLO Sheriff/Coroner Division, said vaccine hesitancy in communities of color can be traced back to a longstanding history of medical racism. “As a physician and a graduate of a historically Black university and college, I know very well the reluctance of people of color to get vaccines,” Carter said, “just because of the way medicine has not been available to people of color, lack of access, and the historical experimentation that was done on purpose on people of color.” Carter encourages everyone to get vaccinated, and assured that the vaccine is safe. “What’s important now is that there are people of color who are involved with the development of these vaccines and the way they are being given. This process is being watched very closely by physicians. There was a Black scientist involved in the early development of the vaccine,” she said. Vines hopes the NAACP’s involvement can help bridge that hesitancy gap at the clinic. She added that the event was planned for Paso Robles because the communities they’re trying to reach largely live in North County. The event is made possible in part by a vaccine outreach grant that NAACP’s SLO County chapter received. The clinic will also incentivize vaccination by handing out $50 Amazon gift cards to those receiving their first or second COVID-19 vaccine doses, while supplies last. —Malea Martin

CHOOSING VOTERS The SLO County Board of Supervisors (pictured) will hold a third meeting about redistricting on Nov. 19 at 9 a.m. Three board members told New Times that they’re in favor of making changes to the current map.

SLO County’s conservative supervisors hint at major changes in upcoming redistricting

he San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors’ conservative majority is mulling a significant redrawing of the county’s supervisorial map as part of redistricting—with an eye on reducing how many districts touch the city of SLO, according to the three board members. “In years past, the [Board of Supervisors] majority has always seemed to think it was OK to take the city and cut it into pieces,” said Debbie Arnold, county supervisor for the 5th District, which covers mostly North County territory but also parts of SLO and Cal Poly. “I don’t see the real connection between the student housing area of SLO and the city of Atascadero.” Removing SLO city from one or more county supervisor districts (it’s currently in three) would trigger a set of cascading effects elsewhere on the county map because districts must have close-to-equal populations. Politically, the change would more than likely bolster Republicans’ advantage on the board, according to Cal Poly Political Science professor Michael Latner, who studies redistricting, as it bunches the city’s mostly Democratic voters into fewer districts. “Any of the maps where you see radical changes from the existing districts are clearly attempts to pack more Democrats into districts and get more Republican seats,” Latner said. The Board of Supervisors will meet on Nov. 19 at 9 a.m. for its third meeting about redistricting—the last meeting before the supervisors will vote on a final map at a Nov. 30 hearing. Once adopted, the map will chart the course of county politics for the next decade. The board’s majority members have been tight-lipped thus far about their opinions and positions on redistricting. In Nov. 12 phone calls with New Times, all three said they hadn’t made up their minds on one specific map or district configuration. But they made it clear that the current map is in trouble. “I’d argue that the current map could be construed as gerrymandering,” said 1st District Supervisor John Peschong, who represents Paso Robles, Templeton, and other areas of North County. Arnold, Peschong, and 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton all said they had issues with the current supervisorial

map, adopted in 2011. Their complaints centered on how many districts the city of SLO and Cal Poly are split into, which they said unfairly—and potentially unlawfully—divides SLO, disperses its voters across districts, and violates natural boundaries like the Cuesta Grade. “I do honestly believe redistricting last time was done for political motives and unfairly,” Compton said. Of the three supervisors, only Peschong explicitly said he wants a new map that keeps all incorporated cities “whole,” or represented by a single district and supervisor. But Compton and Arnold hinted at that notion—expressing an opposition to Arnold’s 5th District dipping below the Cuesta Grade in SLO and Cal Poly. “It just boggles my mind how that was done,” Compton said. Peschong, Arnold, and Compton emphasized that any new map must align with a new state redistricting law, the 2019 Fair Maps Act, which sets criteria for how counties should redistrict. “There are new guidelines,” Peschong said. “We’re obviously trying to follow those guidelines.” One of the criteria of the Fair Maps Act is to keep incorporated cities within one district as much as practically possible. But another criterion—a higher-ranking criterion, according to the law—is to avoid fracturing “communities of interest,” a term defined as “a population that shares common social or economic interests.” Minority Supervisors Bruce Gibson (2nd District) and Dawn Ortiz-Legg (3rd District), both Democrats, are against making any significant changes to the current map, in part because of how it will break up communities of interest elsewhere in the county. The League of Women Voters of SLO County, a nonpartisan political organization, shares that view. “We really want to stress that the move to put the city of SLO in one district impacts communities of interest throughout the county,” the League’s Voter Service Director Julie Rodewald said during a Nov. 8 webinar about county redistricting. In a few draft maps that attempt to unify SLO into one district, Gibson’s 2nd

“It’s eco-friendly and doesn’t damage beach life. It’s not permanent; it wouldn’t be a construction project. It’s pretty much like a gymnastics roll-up mat that you just roll across the beach. It would allow people from down the ramp … and over to the water.

She said his professional background in local government allowed him to advise Armstrong on whom to pitch her idea to. “This is a great project for 2022—to create community synergy, to create access to the beach for everyone [who] comes to visit our beautiful coastline,” Bill said. Bill’s suggestion: pitch Mobi Mats to Pismo Beach City Council and to the Avila Harbor Commission, which Armstrong

hen chronic illness demanded Shell Beach teenager Mia Armstrong become a wheelchair user, she found herself perplexed by oncemundane activities as soon as her parents brought her home from the hospital. “The first wheelchair I was given was quite large and bulky. None of the door frames I could fit through because it’s such an old house. There were a lot of tight little halls and turns that made it hard to get around even my own house,” Armstrong said. Home wasn’t the only cramped space for Armstrong. Shell Beach, with its numerous flights of stairs, many outdated buildings, and the general hilly terrain proved to be quite challenging for the 18-year-old. Even several restaurants and cafés limited their handicapped parking spots to expand outdoor seating in the midst of COVID-19. “You can’t always blame it on the businesses for not having an elevator into their location, but that’s a bit of a challenge where we live,” she said. Armstrong said that was why wheelchair navigation became both a physical and personal journey for her. It prompted her to start an Instagram page called @miasdisabili.tea in midOctober, five months into being a full-time wheelchair user. It’s a space where she highlights businesses with accessible resources and also provides tips for improving inclusivity. “I’m trying to make it fun and young. I’m trying to show that being disabled is not the worst thing in the world,” the Cuesta College biomedicine major said. While she spends a lot of time catching up on homework at Steaming Bean—a café she appreciates because of its access ramp and elevator—Armstrong said she’s an avid beach lover. But even though she can get herself onto the sand through self-navigation and with the help of her boyfriend, moving to the water from that

Tyler said that by collaborating with these public agencies and by encouraging them to include hotels in accessibility projects, the coalition could achieve Public-Private Partnership status, also known as P3. In fact, Pismo Beach officials told New Times that this kind of union is already active. “We have beach-accessible wheelchairs at no cost because of our partnership with Sandcastle Inn. [People] can obtain it from the hotel. It was done in order to limit access restriction,” Assistant City Manager Jorge Garcia said. Garcia added that the City Council also amended a municipal code, which prohibited all motorized vehicles on beaches, to exempt motorized wheelchairs from the restriction. Inspired by a Cal Poly prototype test of a wheelchair that can operate on sand, the changed rule went into effect in October. Garcia mentioned that Pismo Beach encourages people to approach city staff with new ideas for evaluation. “Communities can be innovative, and we’re allowing for that innovation [to come into] areas that previously only able-bodied individuals [could] access. We welcome input so all people can feel welcome in Pismo Beach,” he said. Moreover, from Dec. 4 through 12, the city will host the Pismo Beach ISA World Para Surfing Championship where para surfers from around the world will compete in a Paralympic-style competition.

have to admit to a bit of a flare-up of my PTSD while watching our troops’ last days in Afghanistan recently, what with my having piloted the last U.S. military helicopter out of Saigon on April 30, 1975. This current event was an instant replay of the American hubris from so long ago. It made me consider that Veterans Day is not just an opportunity to acknowledge the sacrifices of the men and women who marched boldly into harm’s way, but also a time to reflect on the leadership that sends them to the edge of the abyss. For example, the disgusting, disparaging, and disrespectful diatribe Trump has often directed toward our military reflects the huge difference in Weltanschauung between those of us who have served and have nothing but reverence for those who have fallen, and that cowardly, narcissistic, bone-spurred draft dodger who would dare to call our heroes suckers and losers time and again. I spent 25 years wearing the uniform. My only son did three combat tours in Iraq and is only just now recovering from the experience. All this, to see my country driven over the cliff by the guy who had his daddy get him out of the draft by giving a cheap lease to some unscrupulous doctor. The day before Veterans Day in 2018, Trump refused to attend an honoring ceremony at the cemetery adjacent to Belleau Woods, where 1,800 “Devil Dog” Marines died in World War I. A light rain kept him away even though the leaders of France, Germany, and

Canada were in attendance, as were Gen. John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff, and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Besides the disrespect shown, we American taxpayers paid to fly him in Air Force One 3,800 miles so he could get a Veterans Day photo-op there. The list of Trump’s disrespectful words and actions toward our service members is long, but he isn’t alone, of course. There is no shortage of über-rich, white, prep-schooled, flag-waving, armchair “patriots”—the Tucker Carlson types of the world, who are tearing our country apart by spewing hate, divisiveness, and disinformation. These same people would laugh out loud at the suggestion that they, or their children, serve in our armed forces. And even if these people aren’t all in leadership positions, they strongly influence those who are. We veterans don’t need our fellow citizens to “thank us for our service.” We need them to step up and say “no” to the rhetoric and vitriol that divides our nation so that Cpl. McMahon, Lt. Cpl. Judge, Lt. Shea, and Capt. Nystul—my fellow Marines killed during those final two days in Vietnam—will not have died in vain. Semper fi. ∆ Retired USMC Capt.

UPCOMING SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS

BY JOHN DONEGAN

Let’s go, Brandon! T he new conservative meme “Let’s Go, Brandon!” is notable for not only being an ostensibly inoffensive expression of contempt for an unpopular president, but also as the watershed moment when the media abandoned even the pretense of truth and objectivity in their reporting, and voluntarily outed themselves as political cheerleaders. To those of you who don’t know, the phrase “Let’s Go, Brandon” originated on the TV broadcast of a stock car race when raucous fans began loudly chanting “F-- Joe Biden.” An NBC television reporter covering the race found herself unable to ignore this background chant and went on the air reporting: “As you can hear the chants from the crowd, ‘Let’s Go Brandon,’” referencing the winning driver of the race, who she was interviewing. A meme was born in a lie. Conservatives have embraced the meme, while liberals huff indignantly about an affront to the dignity of the presidency. T-shirts and hats with the phrase have appeared, and a Southwest Airlines pilot is in the hot seat for including the innocuous-sounding phrase during his inflight announcements. This instinctive lie violated the first rule of effective deception: “Don’t be too obvious.” Shamelessly offering a lie that was instantly disprovable by the readily observable facts on hand became emblematic of the media’s arrogance and casual disregard for the truth. In adopting the “Let’s Go, Brandon!” meme, people are in effect replying to the media by saying: We realize that you’re not even pretending to be truthful anymore. Most of us would place more confidence in a National Enquirer piece describing the scaly monopod extraterrestrial lovechild spawned by Elvis and Anwar Sadat in a vast Martian palace, than we would have in any sort of media reporting. While media deception is certainly nothing new, what is new is the media’s increasing lack of shame and embarrassment when caught in a lie. Previously, they would at least acknowledge “errors” and apologize, or print retractions or clarifications. On rare occasion, a reporter would even get defenestrated in a show of contrition. As recently as 2004, the media felt obligated to display remorse when caught in a lie. Former media star Dan Rather was given the boot by CBS when he was caught offering forged documents to try and embarrass George W. Bush during the 2004 campaign. The media campaign of deceit ramped up in the last few years, and it has cost them some money as well as credibility. CNN paid a big price by legal settlement for their hoax depicting MAGA schoolboy Nick Sandemann as purportedly taunting an elderly Native American at a demonstration, a lie that was revealed by merely looking at their entire video. Rolling Stone paid an even greater amount in 2017 for its 2014 fabricated tale of a supposed gang rape by fraternity members at the University of Virginia. More recently, we have seen the industry repeatedly dissemble on

COVID-19 and the pandemic to serve their agendas. It is amusing that there are many people who mock the wacky QAnon followers and the crazy microchip theories of the antivaxxers yet who readily believe the partisan fantasies on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, etc. I’d hate to be the one who has to tell them that those tempting email offers from the Nigerian Minister of Finance are bogus. The media industry has long bemoaned the decreasing trust and respect that they receive from the public. Much like the frequent campaigns of attorney organizations trying to raise the public image of lawyers, the media relentlessly lectures us on their “valuable contributions” as the courageous guardians of democracy and good government, etc. Listening to either campaign, most of us find it hard to not giggle at the audacity of their laughably transparent deflection. Here is some advice: If you must lie to us, you should at least be polite enough to make your lies reasonably plausible. We find it insulting when your lies are so glaringly obvious that we can’t avoid recognizing them. It reveals that you think so little of us that you are not willing to go to the trouble of crafting convincing deception. That is just disrespectful. It shouldn’t take that much effort on your part. People are generally willing to accept most anything that confirms what they already want to believe, but it needs to be at least superficially plausible. We expect so little from you as it is. Just some entertaining pictures and background noise to accompany our dinner, and if you could please refrain from such outlandish lies that we end up squirting our milk or pinot grigio out of our nose, we would appreciate it. But, since you insist upon repeatedly insulting us with your flimsy, transparent lies, you’ll have to expect a little pushback from us: “Let’s go, media!” ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney in Pismo Beach who just makes this stuff up as he goes and is dazzled by the chutzpah of the true masters of the art in the national media.

The Shredder

‘Special’ education

he Paso Robles Joint Unified School District really knows how to make a mess of things. Whether it’s descending into hysteria over the non-issue of critical race theory or responding in a mind-bogglingly stupid way to a gay pride flag being stolen and vandalized or grossly mismanaging its budget, the district’s made itself the laughingstock of public “education.” PRJUSD’s bungled crisis du jour is its mishandling of the proposed closure of Georgia Brown Elementary School, which is on the chopping block because of the district financial problems, which were caused by the district’s mismanagement. Do they still teach Catch-22 in school? If this were a mathematical word problem, the answer would be zero, as in zero brain cells were employed in the handling of this issue. Georgia Brown is a transitional K-5 elementary school with a dual-immersion Spanish/English language program that mostly serves lower-income and Spanishspeaking students, who apparently in the eyes of those running the district aren’t as important as affluent white kids, whose schools and facilities haven’t been “evaluated” as “surplus property.” Weird, right? What’s really chapping the hides of Georgia Brown students’ parents and local activists is the absurd process the district is engaging in to try to “look” like this is an open and fair decision being guided by community input when it’s really just another knee-jerk decision by a district that really knows how to put the “jerk” into knee-jerk.

The district first identified Georgia Brown as a candidate for closure on Sept. 21, 2020, but it only recently solicited community input at a Nov. 10, 2021, meeting. Um, did it take a whole year for you to decide to make your decision look like you care what the Georgia Brown families want? Because it’s not working. They see right through your half-ass charade. “We are now seeing ‘community input’ when we’re pretty much in the last phase of this ‘decision,’” Paso People’s Action co-founder Yessenia Echevarria said. “It seems to me that the decision had already been made.” Echevarria argued that closing Georgia Brown “is going to hurt Hispanic families, bottom line,” but PRJUSD thinks it’s covered its butt with the Nov. 10 meeting, one for English speakers and a separate one for Spanish speakers, who instead of being allowed to voice aloud their objections were—get this—told to write their concerns on poster paper. Hmm. Separate but equal much, Paso? The district says it will relocate the dualimmersion program to either Glen Speck Elementary School or to Winifred Pifer Elementary School, which the Georgia Brown parents said isn’t helpful because of the district’s ineffective bus system, putting the burden of transportation to these other schools on parents who are already struggling financially. The school board now says it might not make a decision on Georgia Brown until early next year,

CA residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls CALIFORNIA - Once California residents got wind that California State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value. “It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 California State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of California residents already have and you don’t want to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped mint-

ing these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these California State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and California residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across California who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to California residents California residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per CA resident has been imposed

CALIFORNIA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of California Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to California residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘Very few people have ever actually seen one of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of California Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of California residents

claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of California Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what California residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of California you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing California residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of California residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of California and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS FACTS:

If you are a California State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB2904

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only California State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

Why are so many California residents claiming them:

Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all California residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.

How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:

California residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB2904 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each California State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

John Craigie plays the Clark Center

Strictly Starkey

inger-songwriter John Craigie is no stranger to these parts. Though he was born and raised in LA, started his music career in Santa Cruz, and now calls Portland home, he’s become a regular on the Central Coast—a perennial favorite who gathers a crowd every time he returns. This time around, Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents have booked him in Arroyo Grande’s Clark Center on Saturday, Nov. 20 (8 p.m.; all ages; $21 to $26 plus fees at clarkcenter.org), with opening act Chris Pureka. Craigie’s a real road warrior who was constantly touring before the pandemic hit. He’s always been sort of a Woody Guthrie or Ramblin’ Jack Elliott-style performer who mixes music with comedic storytelling, and he’s currently touring in support of Asterisk The Universe, his seventh studio album. He’s pretty damn funny! If you check out his 2018 performance at Pickathon, he talks about the messages he gets from fans who write to tell him how “I had a terrible thing happen” and that his songs help get them through. “That’s good, but I never get a message like, ‘Me and my boyfriend skipped along the beach to your song holding hands.’ Which is OK. I don’t write skip songs or hand-holding songs. I’ve accepted that. I don’t get a lot of wedding offer gigs. I’m fine with that. I don’t have the songs for the wedding set. I wish divorces had parties. I would be booked for a long time. If you want me to play your divorce, I’d be happy to.” His sometimes dark musings certainly find their way into his lyrics. On Asterisk The Universe, listeners hear about how he “awkwardly encounters previous flames, mistakes a Catholic school custodian as a saint (and prays to him anyway), pays tribute to modern-day revolutionaries, and explores what it all means to live in the 21st

Oh what a night! The 2021 New Times Music Awards delivers the goods

t’s Friday, Nov. 12, and I’m at the place to be: SLO Brew Rock for the lucky 13th annual New Times Music Awards showcase. The crowd is buzzing as we await the beginning of the showcase that will pit the five genre winners against one another to see who wins Best Live Performance. Soon, emcee Suzanne Schonig of American General Media and The Krush 92.5 and 93.3 KZOZ arrives on stage and opens the show. “What’s up SLO Brew Rock? How are you? I want to say thank you so much to all our local musicians who enrich our lives throughout the year.” That’s why we’re here: to honor the local bands that night after night show up in the bars, clubs, and theaters to fill our lives with great music. The past year and a half has been an unprecedented time, canceling shows and tours and driving bands and music lovers underground, but tonight we gather and celebrate. The first award of the night goes to Best Songwriter, and as “Old Together” by The Tipsy Gypsies plays, singer Hilary Langdon walks to the stage. As she holds her Newtie Award, Langdon says, “This song was inspired by my husband. Thank you! Cheers!” Next up, Graybill comes up to receive his Best Album award for High Tide/Low Tide, a killer two-CD set. “I’m so honored and thankful for this music community,” Kevin Graybill says. “This means a lot. It was my pandemic project. It kept me relatively sane during the past year and a half or so.” First up to perform is Miss Leo, winner of the Country/Americana/Folk for “Desert Queen.” Miss Leo also took home third in Best Songwriter for “Sparrow.” “It feels good to be acknowledged and I’m glad you guys liked it,” Miss Leo says as she and her band launch into their set. The music’s finally flowing and the crowd is digging it. Next up is the Open category winner—the father-and-daughter act Louie & Talia Ortega— who won for their Spanish-language song “Mi Perro” (My Dog), a track off their upcoming album Ruby, being released on Dec. 1.

WINNER-WINNER Lu Lu & The Cowtippers won the Rock/ Alternative genre and bested four other bands to take home the Best Live Performance prize at the 2021 New Times Music Awards.

“Thanks, New Times, for the award,” Louie says before handing the microphone to his daughter. “We really appreciate that.” “It’s a joy and an honor to be up here with my dad and to share the stage with all of the amazing musicians who won and have contributed tonight,” Talia adds. After their well-received set, it’s time for the Local Legend Award. “This one is super fun,” Schonig gushed. “We love our musicians, right? They are amazing and this is what we’re here for, but there are also a whole ton of people round these musicians that make this industry and this scene in our local community run and work.” This year’s winner is Wally Barnick, longtime bassist and singer with the Cache Valley Drifters (CVD). Wally’s voice sings the CVD’s Cream cover “White Room” as I walk up to receive Wally’s award because he unfortunately couldn’t make the show, but Schonig offers a rundown on his long list of achievements as a musician, promoter, booking agent, and music journalist. Now it’s time for the Hip-Hop/Rap performance, and perpetual winners, Rogue Status, have scored first and second in the genre. Famous Deuce of the hip-hop collective takes the mic, and class act that he is, acknowledges

We couldn’t do this without y’all, so thank you everybody that’s working tonight.” Frontman RoAch Clip takes the mic: “Yo, we’re cleaning up tonight! I don’t know what happened. We’re taking home all the hardware and we’re very appreciative … we’re also a little arrogant, so thank you,” he jokes. Their set gets the joint pumping, and afterward it’s time for the Readers’ Choice Award, which this year goes to The Santa Cruz Family band for their song “Mama,” which came in third in the R&B/Blues genre. “Don’t forget to call your mom and your dad and your brother and your sister,” says patriarch Bobby Santa Cruz as he accepts the award, “’cause they’re waiting to hear from you! Bye-bye, everybody! Thank you so much!” “Oh my God, the best advice ever!” Schonig squeals. Rock/Alternative winners Lu Lu & The Cowtippers play next, and as frontwoman Donna “Lu” Meazell takes the mic, she celebrates her band: “Todd [Andrew], you’re the best guitar player in the world, and you’re so easy to write music with and I thank you for NTMA SHOWCASE continued page 28

iguel Sapochnik (Repo Men) directs this family-friendly charmer about an ailing robotics engineer named Finch Weinberg, who lives with his dog, Goodyear (Seamus), and a robot (voiced by Caleb Landry Jones) that he created to take care of the dog after his inevitable death. Finch knows his days are numbered. Though his ailment is never disclosed, it may have to do with the destroyed environment. It’s been 10 years since a solar flare put holes in Earth’s ozone layer, bringing surface temperatures soaring and creating unsurvivable ultraviolet radiation. Finch has to wear a spacesuit to venture outdoors in daylight, where he’s constantly in search of supplies. With a massive storm heading toward St. Louis that’s predicted to last 40 days, Finch knows he and Goodyear will both be dead if they can’t find a more hospitable area. The joy of the film is watching Finch bring

It’s very sweet watching Jeff learn to care for Goodyear and learn what it means to be human, and Hanks is predictably wonderful.

riter-director Rawson Marshall Thurber (Skyscraper, Central Intelligence, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) helms this old fashioned action heist comedy about FBI Agent John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) who’s brought in by Interpol Inspector Urvashi Das (Ritu Arya) to help capture one of the world’s greatest art thieves, Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds), who is being set up by another art thief, The Bishop (Gal Gadot), in a story of shifting alliances. The prize at stake is a trio of bejeweled eggs purportedly given as a wedding gift 2,000 years ago from Marcus Antonius to his bride Cleopatra. The film is self-reflective enough to mention these are essentially MacGuffins—nothing more than an object to motivate the story’s characters.

Gadot being … well, simply stunning. This breezy caper flick, which is included in your Netflix subscription—isn’t doing anything new to update the genre, which may be why it’s been roundly panned by critics, but in its defense, it’s not trying to do anything new. In fact, it seems more interested in nodding to its influences and letting its stars’ considerable chemistry carry the weight of the film, which they do. Reynolds is laugh-out-loud funny, Johnson is hulking but vulnerable, and Gadot is charming and dangerous. It’s an easy watch. (118 min.) Δ —Glen

Breath of fresh air Food-and-wine powerhouse takes the reins at SLO’s Central Coast Wines

he green and purple neon sign fronting Central Coast Wines— known colloquially as CCW—has been a familiar sight along downtown San Luis Obispo’s main drag for more than 20 years. Locals Vaughn and Sasha Taus opened the wine shop and tasting room at 712 Higuera St. in 1998. A decade later, new owners Bob and Dianna Ritchie of Templeton renovated CCW and cultivated a tight-knit following of wine club members. When Bob Ritchie passed away in December 2020, and the establishment was put up for sale, many club members held tight—weathering a temporary pandemic-related closure and maintaining their memberships out of respect to the Ritchies. It was Dianna’s wish that club members rally behind the new owner. However, what started out as deference to the Ritchies quickly evolved to admiration and excitement for newcomer Miya Luce, who officially took the helm of CCW in September. Miya retained store manager Tom Nicholas due to his established relationships and wine expertise, but everything else is about to change. Originally from Ukraine, Miya’s love affair with food and wine runs deep. “Hospitality has always been a huge part of my Ukrainian upbringing, where the daily culture revolves around cooking and hosting,” she said. “My grandmother made wine for our family consumption and taught me some basics about winemaking, as well as gave me an incredible knowledge of plants and herbs, which helped me later with my

sommelier education and understanding sensory evaluation of the wines tasted.” Miya crossed the Atlantic in 2004, finetuning her skills at famed New York City establishments such as Minetta Tavern, “working my way up from serving and bartending jobs to creating beverage lists and managing restaurants.” After eight years, Miya moved to Los Angeles, where she received formal sommelier training, designed elevated wine programs, and landed general manager positions at “some of the most ambitious chef-driven concepts in the city,” she said. In 2021, Miya was primed to take her career to the next level. She was also armed with a secret weapon—husband and chef Joshua Luce. “I have always wanted to be a smallbusiness owner, and finally my dream

has come true,” Miya said. “As a firstgeneration immigrant and a female entrepreneur, I couldn’t be happier to land on the Central Coast where my husband was born and raised, and it also happens to be this incredible wine country.” The Luces, of Arroyo Grande, ultimately plan to meld Miya’s business with Joshua’s culinary project, Gold Land BBQ. The kinks remain to be worked out, but, in the meantime, patrons can experience Gold Land’s red-oak-grilled meat specialties at downtown SLO’s Thursday farmers’ market. Joshua’s food stand sits in front of CCW, and guests are welcome to bring the food into the tasting room and pair it with wine or beer. Joshua’s Santa Maria-style barbecue venture follows a decade of experience running kitchens in New York and Los Angeles, most recently as executive chef

at Neighbor in Venice Beach. Joshua said he’s “super excited to be back in SLO County after quite some time away.” He invites patrons to track popup locations for his mobile barbecue operation online. His signature dishes include prime beef tri-tip, linguiça sausage, and range chicken. “My goal is to serve the community and bring people together to experience California heritage cooking in authentic settings,” he explained. “Gold Land is also a full-service caterer and gets booked privately for all types of occasions.” “We are working on getting a catering permit for our ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) license, which also means that we will be able to do combined events with Gold Land,” Miya added.

What are your thoughts on Dawn Addis announcing her candidacy for Assembly District 35? m It’s awesome. She ran a great campaign in 2020 and already has my vote. m It seems a little early—with redistricting going on, I don’t know if I’m going to be in that district anymore. m I’m more curious whether incumbent Jordan Cunningham will throw his hat in the ring again. m I’m not sure how I feel; I need to assess my options after the primaries.

WHAT: A continued request by Integrated Agriculture, Inc. for a Minor Use Permit (DRC2018-00083) to establish up to three acres of outdoor cannabis cultivation canopy within hoop structures, ancillary processing activities (i.e., de-stemming and weighing), ancillary transport, and other related site improvements. Project includes the installation of 163,548 square feet of hoop structures, security fencing and surveillance, a new 9,500-gallon galvanized steel water tank, one seatrain container for storage, and improvements for parking and the access road. The project would result in approximately 7.8 acres of site disturbance, including 267 cubic yards of cut and 225 cubic yards of fill. The project site is in the Agriculture land use category and located at 3520 Creston Road in the El Pomar-Estrella Sub-Area of the North County Planning Area, approximately one mile east of the City of Paso Robles. Also to be considered at the hearing will be adoption of the Environmental Document prepared for the item. The Environmental Coordinator, after completion of the initial study, finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not necessary. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) has been issued on May 21, 2021 for this project. Mitigation measures are proposed to address air quality, biological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, and mandatory findings of significance, and are included as conditions of approval. The Environmental Document is available for public review at the Department of Planning and Building, at the below address. A copy of the Environmental Document is also available on the Planning and Building Department website at www.sloplanning.org. Anyone interested in commenting on the proposed Environmental Document should submit a written statement and/or speak at the public hearing.

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 http:// www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2021-00537-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)-976-3916, or visit this internet website https:// tracker.auction.com/sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case 2021-00537-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.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Aries poet and philosopher Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843) had many ups and downs. He was one of Germany’s greatest poets and philosophers, but he also endured more emotional distress than most people. His biographer wrote, “Sometimes this genius goes dark and sinks down into the bitter well of his heart, but mostly his apocalyptic star glitters wondrously.” You may have been flirting with a milder version of a “bitter well of the heart,” Aries. But I foresee that you will soon return to a phase when your star glitters wondrously—and without the “apocalyptic” tinge that Hölderlin harbored.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran educator and anthropologist Johnnetta Cole wrote, “The first sign of an educated person is that she asks more questions than she delivers answers.” I agree and would also say this: A prime attribute of an intelligent, eager-to-learn person is that she asks more questions than she delivers answers. I encourage you to be like that during the coming weeks, Libra. According to my astrological estimation, you are scheduled to boost your intelligence and raise your curiosity. An excellent way to meet your appointments with destiny will be to have fun dreaming up interesting questions.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

(April 20-May 20): Author David Foster Wallace felt sad about how little of our mind’s intense activity can be shared with others. So much of what goes on inside us seems impossible to express. Or if it is possible to express, few of our listeners are receptive to it or able to fully understand it. That’s the bad news, Taurus. But here’s the good news: In the coming weeks, I believe you will experience much less of this sad problem than usual. I’m guessing you’ll be especially skilled at articulating your lush truth and will have an extra receptive audience for it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I never resist temptation,” declared playwright George Bernard Shaw. Why did he dare to utter such an outlandish statement? “Because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me,” he said. I propose that you aspire to embody his attitude during the next eight weeks, Gemini. Make it your aspiration to cultivate a state of mind wherein you will only be tempted to engage with influences that are healthy and educational and inspiring. You can do it! I know you can!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): While still a teenager, Cancerian cowboy Slim Pickens (1919-1983) competed in the rodeo, a sporting event in which brave athletes tangle with aggressive broncos and bulls. When America entered World War II, Pickens went to a recruiting office to sign up for the military. When asked about his profession, Pickens said “rodeo.” The clerk misheard and instead wrote “radio.” Pickens was assigned to work at an armed forces radio station in the American Midwest, where he spent the entire war. It was a safe and secure place for him to be. I foresee a lucky mistake like that in your near future, Cancerian. Maybe more than one lucky mistake. Be alert.

LEO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Some people become so expert at reading between the lines they don’t read the lines,” wrote author Margaret Millar. That’s not a common problem for you Scorpios. You are an expert at reading between the lines, but that doesn’t cause you to miss the simple facts. Better than any other sign of the zodiac, you are skilled at seeing both secret and obvious things. Given the astrological omens that will be active for you during the rest of 2021, I suspect this skill of yours will be a virtual superpower. And even more than usual, the people in your life will benefit from your skill at naming the truth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Storyteller and mythologist Michael Meade believes that each of us has an inner indigenous person—a part of our psyche that can love and learn from nature, that’s inclined to revere and commune with the ancestors, that seeks holiness in the familiar delights of the Earth. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to cultivate your relationship with your inner indigenous person. What other experiences might be available to you as you align your personal rhythms with the rhythms of the earth? What joys might emerge as you strive to connect on deeper levels with animals and plants and natural forces?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn novelist Haruki Murakami writes, “I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it—to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more. Just once.” Most of us feel that longing, although few of us admit it. But I will urge you to place this desire in the front of your awareness during the next two weeks. I’ll encourage you to treat your yearning for maximum love as a sacred strength, a virtue to nurture and be proud of. I’ll even suggest you let people know that’s what you want. Doing so may not result in a total satisfaction of the longing, but who knows? Maybe it will. If there will ever be a time when such fulfillment could occur, it will be soon.

AQUARIUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): To create your horoscope, I’ve borrowed ideas from four famous Leos. They all address your current astrological needs. First, here’s Leo author P. L. Travers: “More and more I’ve become convinced that the great treasure to possess is the unknown.” Second, here’s Leo author Sue Monk Kidd: “There is no place so awake and alive as the edge of becoming.” Third, Leo poet Philip Larkin: “Originality is being different from oneself, not others.” Finally, Leo author Susan Cheever: “There is no such thing as expecting too much.”

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An article published in the journal Scientific American declared, “Most people don’t know when to stop talking.” Conversations between strangers and between friends typically go on too long. A mere 2 percent of all dialogues finish when both parties want them to. That’s the bad news, Aquarius. The good news is that in the coming weeks, your sensitivity about this issue will be more acute than usual. As a result, your talk will be extra concise and effective—more persuasive, more interesting, and more influential. Take advantage of this subtle superpower! (Further info: tinyurl.com/WhenToStop)

VIRGO

PISCES

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I encourage you to adopt the perspective expressed by spiritual author Ann Voskamp. She wrote, “I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, the moments before I sleep.” I understand that taking this assignment seriously could be a challenging exercise. Most of us are quick to spot flaws and awfulness, but few have been trained to be alert for elegance and splendor and wondrousness. Are you willing to try out this approach? Experiment with it. Treat it as an opportunity to reprogram your perceptual faculties. Three weeks from now, your eyes and ears could be attuned to marvels they had previously missed.

(Feb. 19-March 20): Since 1996, Ira Glass has produced the renowned radio series This American Life. In 2013, as a reward for his excellence, he was offered a raise in his annual salary from $170,000 to $278,000. He accepted it for one year, but then asked that it be lowered to $146,000. He described the large increase in pay as “unseemly.” What?! I appreciate his modesty, but I disapprove. I’m always rooting for Pisceans like Ira Glass to embrace the fullness of their worth and to be aggressive about gathering all the rewards they’re offered. So I’m inclined, especially right now, to urge you not to be like Glass. Please swoop up all the kudos, benefits, and blessings you deserve. ∆
