Oceano ad-hoc committee to study fire services after special tax fails

FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

V

oters in the Oceano Community Services District (OCSD) doused local leaders’ attempts to reignite support for a controversial fire tax this year after residents shot it down in 2020.

Final counts in the San Luis Obispo County primary elections (which won’t be certified until July 15) show that the flat parcel tax called Measure A-22 received 57.6 percent of votes, falling short of the almost two-thirds it needed to pass.

The measure was a $180 per year tax paid by each property owner, which would have helped maintain rapid response times for 911 medical emergency and fire services through the Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA). It first appeared on ballots two years ago, when it failed to hit the two-thirds majority by 11 votes.

Now, officials are grappling with scenarios where the OCSD could either enter a contract with the FCFA or divest powers to the county altogether. OCSD board president Karen White told New Times that she and fellow board member Shirley Gibson were assigned to an adhoc committee to help figure out next steps.

“We can work with the manager and with the fire department,” White said. “We will study the situation and we will bring either a recommendation or several different proposals to the entire [OCSD] board. We can’t act but we can investigate and bring ideas back to the whole board.”

White added that the OCSD’s current agreement with FCFA for fire and medical services doesn’t end until June 30, 2023. During this wind down period, the FCFA will examine its new nature as an organization without the OCSD. Set up in 2010, it comprises the cities of Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach and the OCSD, with the latter contributing more than $10 million to the authority since its inception.

“We can give up our fire service [powers],” White said. “The other thing we can do after we leave the FCFA is contract with them. Some communities pay money directly to Cal Fire for service … there are all kinds of different deals.”

But community members have complained that they feel left in the dark about what countyrun fire services could look like. White and

SLO approves permanent parklet program with fees and design standards San Luis Obispo bars and restaurants that set up parklets for outdoor dining during the COVID-19 pandemic will be allowed to keep them under a permanent parklet program adopted by the City Council on July 5.

But the parking spaces—which the city has not charged for over the past two years—are going to start costing business owners. And the parklets themselves will need to meet more robust design and operational standards than before.

“You [the business owner can] decide whether it’s worth the investment or not,” City Councilmember Carlyn Christianson said during the July 5 meeting. “My basic thing is these are parking spaces—they’re supposed to be for

STUDYING SERVICES The OCSD appointed board members Karen White and Shirley Gibson, respectively, to investigate alternative fire service plans before the region leaves the Fire Cities Fire Authority next year.

other OCSD board members worry about losing out on roughly $1 million each year in property taxes if the county takes over fire services. That amount would fund three 24-hour days per week of fire service, according to previous New Times reporting.

Before the June primary, County Administrative Officer Wade Horton told the OCSD that it would be “premature” to detail a backup plan if the measure fails. Horton did not respond to New Times’ request for comment by press time.

Not everyone is pleased with the new adhoc committee’s set up. While White told New Times that the committee was waiting to meet until after the Fourth of July weekend, Charles Varni, the vice chair of the Oceano Advisory Council, said he was unaware of the committee’s formation.

“This is just more of the same old BS of the

elite in Oceano who want to protect the status quo, preventing new voices from being involved in this process,” he said.

Varni, a vocal critic of Measure A-22, added that he wants the OCSD board to ask the county to redistribute the taxes they collect from the region back into the community. According to Varni, Oceano has drummed up $500,000 in transient occupancy taxes for the county since 2022.

“All of that money went into the county’s general funds. None of it was earmarked for use in Oceano. For all we know, that money could have gone to pay for fire services in Cayucos, or for lights in Nipomo,” Varni said. “Oceano is like a third world country where our resources are taken from us and we really don’t get much back. Oceanans are sick and tired of that, and that’s why the tax was defeated.” ∆ —Bulbul Rajagopal

parking. If they are going to be used by private businesses to make money, then the city and community taxpayers need to be compensated.”

The City Council unanimously approved permanent parklet program and greenlit a new fee structure that will charge businesses $6,760 per parking space per year. That fee covers parking meter revenue loss, weekly manual street sweeping, permit administration and inspections, and tree trimming over the parklet, according to the city.

The roughly 30 businesses with existing parklets in the city will have until Oct. 14 to apply for a new permit and pay a $908 application fee. Businesses that don’t have parklets can also apply for one at any time, if they’re eligible. Parklets are only allowed on streets with on-street parking, that have speed limits of 25 miles per hour or less.

In response to pleas from many in the business community to lower the proposed parklet fee, the City Council agreed to cut the rate recommended by city officials by 22 percent, from $8,710 to $6,760. The council also decided to waive fees for parklet space given to bike parking.

“Outside dining has been a wonderful addition to the beauty and vitality of downtown SLO,” Woodstock’s Pizza co-owner Laura Ambrose wrote in a letter to the city ahead of the meeting. “But please don’t kill the program with fees that most of us cannot justify.”

In arguing for lower fees, Mayor Erica Stewart noted that the public and the downtown—not just the participating businesses—have benefited from the parklet program, and added that the pandemic and its effects are still with us.

News next step in the process to set up the area’s first year-round homeless shelter.

At its June 27 meeting, the City Council approved a 55-year ground lease for the future space located on 0.44 acres of unused property at 955 South 4th St. The lease provisions describe the facility as non-congregate temporary housing, with the exact number of housing units to be determined at a later date.

California Energy Code “reflects a desire to improve indoor air quality … and move towards all-electric new buildings,” according to the city, and the California Air Resources Board is eyeing a statewide target of 100 percent electric appliances sales by 2035.

SLO also highlighted the health hazards of natural gas in its presentation, saying that “an emerging body of literature has documented public health and safety risks associated with natural gas infrastructure and climate change impacts, seismic events, and indoor air quality.”

“Natural gas combustion and gas appliances emit a wide range of air pollutants, … which have been linked to various acute and chronic health effects and exceed national and California-based ambient air quality standards,” the staff report read.

In 2018, SLO adopted a target year of 2035 for net-zero emissions status, and city staff said it will fall short of its SLO goes all-electric goals without an all-electric building in new buildings requirement.

The [Grover Beach City] Council also received a briefing from the county on May 9, 2022,” he said. “One of the goals of the county’s plan is to increase sheltering capacity throughout the county and this proposed facility on South 4th Street is consistent with this goal along with the cabins project under construction on county property at 286 South 16th St. Other sheltering facilities in our area will be needed to help meet the plan’s objective of reducing homelessness by half over the next five years.”

Dana Reserve environmental impact report details project’s footprint on Nipomo oak-studded ranchland

T

he largest proposed housing development in San Luis Obispo County in 25 years would cut down close to 4,000 oak trees, disrupt protected plant and wildlife species, and strain local traffic, among other impacts, according to a draft environmental impact report (EIR) released last month for the Dana Reserve in Nipomo.

The 1,289 single- and multi-family units envisioned as part of the Dana Reserve project are being welcomed by SLO County and some community groups as a much-needed injection of housing supply into the local market, while critics are calling it overly ambitious and environmentally destructive.

First proposed by local development firm NKT Commercial in 2020, Dana Reserve looks to build on a 288-acre site south of Willow Road and west of Highway 101 known as Cañada Ranch. The property has been slated for development for more than a decade, but prior plans never materialized.

While past plans for Cañada Ranch concentrated on commercial uses to address Nipomo’s jobs/housing imbalance, the Dana Reserve focuses on housing—its hundreds of proposed single- and multifamily units would span 10 neighborhoods and include a park, hiking and equestrian trails, and some commercial development.

According to SLO County Planning Manager Airlin Singewald, the local and statewide housing shortage caused planners and NKT Commercial to pivot away from the ranch’s prior top development priorities of “open spaces uses within the oak woodlands” and “an industrial park for employment,“ in favor of a denser, residentially-focused project.

If approved, Dana Reserve, would be the largest housing project to come to unincorporated SLO County since Nipomo’s last major development, Monarch Dunes, and its 1,320 units were approved in 1998, according to Singewald.

Dana Reserve’s draft EIR—which is open for public comment through Aug. 1 and will be the subject of an informational study session at a July 14 SLO County Planning Commission meeting— highlights seven “significant, unavoidable” impact areas from the project: in growth, population, transportation, land use, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, and air quality.

According to the EIR, Dana Reserve would cause the removal of about 75 acres of coast live oak woodland and oak forest on the ranch—close to 4,000 individual trees and about 76 percent of the oaks on the site. The woodland—which covers about 40 percent of the entire project area—“provides important native habitat for plants and wildlife” and “contributes significantly to … the region’s overall biological diversity,” supporting eight special-status plants and four special-status nesting birds.

Cementing rights California responds to the Roe v. Wade decision with a constitutional amendment and legislation to protect reproductive decisions

N

ine weeks into Lauren’s pregnancy, doctors detected a weak heartbeat during an ultrasound. Two weeks later, Lauren started bleeding, and she went back to her doctor’s office for a second ultrasound.

“Sure enough on the ultrasound screen you could tell it was a fetus disintegrating,” said Lauren, who asked New Times to change her name.

Lauren’s doctor said she would not be able to carry the baby to term and gave her a choice: She could either miscarry naturally, or she could have a dilation and curettage procedure (D&C)—an abortion operation.

“I didn’t hesitate. I was grieving and I was scared, but I thought if there was a procedure that will get this over with—as in I don’t have to watch or witness or feel this fetus that I’m losing, this fetus dying inside of me—[I should],” Lauren said.

Her experience was already traumatic enough—she bled for two more weeks until her scheduled procedure—she said she couldn’t imagine not having the option to do a D&C. But people across the country are losing access to abortion procedures like the D&C in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a landmark Supreme Court decision from 1973 that gave women the constitutional protection to access abortions.

“You already feel like you have so little control of your body in that situation, to be told you have even less of it is really hard,” Lauren said. “It’s a lot of waiting and not knowing what your body is going to do. To exercise a little bit of control there I think helps with some of the healing and grieving in that situation.”

After the court’s June 24 decision, the California state Legislature passed a state constitutional amendment to solidify reproductive rights (like abortion access), drafted several bills to protect health care access and medical providers, and made historic investments in reproductive health care, according to government officials.

The amendment—now known as Proposition 1—will be on the November general election ballot, giving California voters the ultimate choice of whether to cement reproductive rights into the state’s constitution.

Roe v. Wade and Dobbs v. Jackson

In the late 1960s, “Jane Roe,” a pregnant, single woman, filed a class action lawsuit against the constitutionality of Texas laws that only permitted abortion where the procedure was necessary to save the life of the mother.

A three-judge district court ruled that the abortion statutes were “vague and over broadly infringing,” upon Roe’s Ninth and 14th Amendment privacy rights, according to the U.S. Supreme Court Center.

The ruling was appealed, and the case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court in

December 1971. By 1973, the court—made up of all men at the time—found that the constitutional right to privacy “is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.”

Fifty years later, Dobbs v. Jackson, a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court case, focused on the constitutionality of a Mississippi law that prohibits abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. In a 6-3 ruling, the justices upheld the law and stated that there was no constitutional right to abortion, overruling Roe v. Wade. Now, up to 26 states are expected to create abortion restrictions and limit access to abortions and reproductive care, which could affect 36 million women.

“The Constitution makes no express reference to a right to obtain an abortion, but several constitutional provisions have been offered as potential homes for an implicit constitutional right,” according to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling summary.

“Guided by the history and traction that map the essential components of the nation’s concept of ordered liberty, the court finds the 14th Amendment clearly does not protect the right to abortion.”

Right to Life of the Central Coast—a Santa Maria-based pro-life group—said it “rejoiced” in the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe, pledging to continue its efforts to help mothers.

“In a country founded on the truth that we are all endowed by our creator with unalienable rights including the right to life, Roe’s stripping the right to life from the unborn was a travesty of justice,” the Rights to Life board said in a statement.

“The decision overturning Roe is an answer to prayer and work by countless pro-life activists for nearly five decades, a cause for joy and heartfelt thanksgiving to God.”

The reproductive rights state

choice majority continues to undermine our federal right to privacy and protections embedded within that,” Olivieri Hovis said.

If the state’s voters pass the constitutional amendment in November, the only way for it to be overturned is through a similar process. Two-thirds of the majority in both the state Senate and Assembly would need to vote to overturn the amendment, and then voters would have to cast their ballots again, she said.

“It’s a high threshold, but it speaks to the fact that California is representing the eight in 10 Americans who support the right to obtain abortion and we were able to see that in our Legislature as they were able to get that on the ballot,” Olivieri Hovis said.

State Sen. Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) said that once the Supreme Court announced the Dobbs decision, the Legislature acted efficiently to ensure residents have reproductive rights.

“Because federal law supersedes state law, I don’t think California saw the immediate need to act until Roe v. Wade was overturned. Could California have done this before? Perhaps, but I think California was still working in line with the law that was in place at the federal level for decades,” Limón said.

Along with the constitutional amendment, California will invest $200 million of its budget to reproductive care, including $40 million to subsidize the cost of providing care to low-income or uninsured patients, $20 million to improve abortion clinic security, and $62 million in provider training.

The Legislature also proposed bills that would ensure medical privacy for out-of-state patients (AB 2091), establish a health equity program to provide grant funding to safety net abortion providers (AB 2134), and protect California providers against civil actions from abortion-restricted states (AB 1666).

“Because every state will do [abortion restrictions] differently, this ensures our ability to continue with this right and ensures our medical providers aren’t then susceptible to privacy issues, legal issues, safety issues when they are performing medical procedures,” Limón said. “We want to be consistent and [try] as much as we can to ensure that protections are there all the way around.” ∆

Others aren’t so keen on rejoicing.

Acting quickly in response to Dobbs, the California state Legislature passed SCA Reach Staff Writer Taylor O’Connor from 10: a state constitutional amendment New Times’ sister paper at toconnor@ that would ensure that every individual santamariasun.com. has the fundamental right of privacy with respect to PHOTO BY BULBUL RAJAGOPAL personal, reproductive decisions, and prohibit the state from interfering with a person’s right to abortion, said Shannon Olivieri Hovis, the California director for reproductive rights organization NARAL Pro-Choice.

STAFF WRITER

New Times in San Luis Obispo County is looking for its next staff writer, but we’re not looking for just any article-pushing, sourcewrangling, story-chasing someone.

Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things—you know the ones: “Top 10 hottest places to eat your lunch on a rainy day.” Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated phone calls that give a story what it needs to ripen into the hard-charging, data-filled narrative it’s dying to be; the time that turns a “meh” story into one that blows a hole in the status quo.

Can you see the big picture of what a story means to a community? Is that what drives you? Do you know what it takes to—yes, we know, it’s cliché— make a difference in the lives of the people you cover? Does that sort of thing matter to you?

If so, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for: a staff writer who isn’t afraid to take on the tedious, the tenuous, or the talented. That certain someone who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to the communities of San Luis Obispo County. Agricultural, water, and environmental advocacy aren’t the only things that drive this place—although those are pretty juicy beats. There’s more, and we want to hire someone who can drive his or herself to unearth those stories and tell them in a meaningful way.

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes.

We dare you.

No longer united Why I couldn’t celebrate July 4

C

elebrating the birth of the United States of America in 2022 just does not feel right. There is so much dissension in this country that I am compelled to spell out my concerns.

I canceled my Fourth of July parade plans and just hung with friends, without celebrating this country.

The United States Constitution was ratified On June 21, 1788. Thus, the Constitution became the official framework of our government. It has flaws that amendments over the years have attempted to rectify.

This country allows politicians, the media, corporations, and individuals to present non-truths under the guise of the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Adopted in 1791, this amendment does not give permission for untruths or distortion of the truth.

In this country, some citizens are encouraged, under the guise of free speech, to refuse to honor government institutions and the rule of law.

This country, founded on separation of church and state, now allows erosion of this principle, supported by the justices of the Supreme Court.

This country now honors guns more than the lives of our citizens and our children, lacking the leadership to thwart the production, sale, and ownership

HODIN

of guns, hiding behind a selective interpretation of the Second Amendment to the constitution: “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

In this country, children must practice hiding under desks, in closets, and behind locked doors in an attempt to prevent and escape violence.

This country allows legal possession of assault rifles that are capable of firing 600 to 700 rounds per minute.

In this country, personal family decisions and the right to privacy are overruled in spite of the Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

This is a country that was built on racism, allowing slavery, which was only abolished by a Civil War, resulting in deaths of an estimated 750,000 people over the course of four years. In an effort to rectify the abuses of slavery, Congress passed the 14th Amendment, granting citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States,” including former slaves, and guaranteed “equal protection of the laws” to all citizens. Then Congress passed the 15th Amendment, which stated that voting rights could not be “denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”

Yet, this country continues to purposely develop voting restrictions to limit voting rights.

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY JOHN ASHBAUGH

Leaning left E very year on the Fourth of July, I reread the Declaration of Independence and each time, I’m reminded of its essential truth: That all of us are created equal, endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, and that governments are instituted to secure those rights. Our rights are not endowed by government.

Our rights are inherent in our humanity.

In the nearly 250 years since our nation’s founding, Americans have valued these words and we have fought for them.

We’ve protected this idea against enemies both foreign and domestic. We engaged in a Civil War to assure the endurance of government of, by, and for the people.

The declaration reminds us, too, that whenever government shall become destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.

Clearly, voters in SLO County are altering the course of our government to preserve our rights: After a generation in the minority, registered Democrats now outnumber Republicans in our county by almost 4 percent, 38.2 percent to 34.4 percent—and the results are clear: In the June 7 primary, Dawn Addis and three other Democrats together outpolled the only GOP Assembly candidate on the ballot by 56 percent to 44 percent in SLO County alone. District-wide, with Monterey County and Santa Cruz County voters, Democrats won 63 percent versus the Republican’s 37 percent. Come November, Addis is heavily favored to win

the new 30th state Assembly District, thus becoming the first Democrat to represent SLO in the Assembly since 1968.

It may be too soon to color SLO County as “safe Democratic,” but we’re clearly leaning that way. Republicans haven’t won the presidential contest in SLO County since 2004. In Congress, SLO County voters have favored Democrats since 2008: Congressman Salud Carbajal of Santa Barbara is on track to win his fourth term in November. Fellow incumbent Democrat Jimmy Panetta from Monterey is expected to represent the North County, which was moved into Panetta’s 19th District by redistricting. Democratic state Sen. John Laird is midway through his first two-year term.

The Board of Supervisors is poised to have a clear center-left majority soon, with last week’s victory by Supervisor-Elect Jimmy Paulding in the 4th District—contingent on long-serving (and front-running) incumbent Supervisor Bruce Gibson retaining his 2nd District seat. Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg will continue to hold the 3rd District.

Four of the county’s incorporated cities have a clear moderate-to-liberal majority. In the other three cities, popular moderates hold the gavel—Steve Martin (Democrat) in Paso, and Heather Moreno and Ed Waage (Republicans) in Atascadero and Pismo, respectively. This is as it should be. Local government—especially our municipalities—should be the place where partisan affiliation is incidental.

Unfortunately, that is not the way our current Board of Supervisors majority managed our redistricting process after the 2020 census. Population shifts among the five districts were not so large that the board was required to re-draw the district boundaries at all; only very minor adjustments were needed. Despite an enormous outcry, the board majority voted to completely re-draw the boundaries to improve the chances of retaining their majority.

We’ve seen how well that went: The incumbent 4th District supervisor, a Republican, has lost her seat to Paulding despite the nearly five-point advantage in Republican registration in the new district adopted by the board. It’s unlikely, too, that the 2nd District runoff in November will unseat Gibson, a Democrat, in favor of Republican-endorsed candidate Bruce Jones, though Gibson fell just short of an outright majority in the June primary.

The new 2nd District has a fourpoint Republican advantage, so why are Republicans unlikely to prevail in November? One only needs to view the intense primary battle between Bruce Jones and third-place finisher Geoff Auslen. The local GOP is badly divided, and unlikely to paper over their differences to build a winning campaign against the pragmatic and diligent Gibson.

The national GOP has also fouled its own nest and alienated mainstream voters through its continued attempt to overturn the 2020 election and by denying the significance of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Many local GOP leaders have also launched vicious attacks on Democrats

in local office—toxic tactics designed not to win over voters on substance, but to foment distrust between voters and elected officials, between rich and poor, between white and non-white, and between those obsessed with firearms and those who prefer the “necessity of a well-regulated militia.”

Our founders never intended for this nation to yield to the despotism and rancor that suffuses today’s GOP. Voters in this county, including this voter, are increasingly seeking out candidates who value civility, who reject violence in all its forms, and who want our government—and our democracy—to continue to secure our rights. ∆ John Ashbaugh has been engaged in local politics since arriving in SLO county in 1977.

New Times in San Luis Obispo is looking for its next freelance arts writer, but we’re not looking for just any art-ogling, content-wrangling someone.

Can you find the unassuming local artist who’s about to blow a hole in the status quo? Do you know what it means to find the culture that matters to a community—the stuff that gives a population its heartbeat, its soul?

That sweet spot where culture, politics, art, and society collide into a massive chaotic hurricane of beautiful expression?

If so, then that’s exactly who we’re looking for: an arts writer who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to San Luis Obispo County. It’s not all about vineyards, rolling hills, and pounding surf brushed with light, ethereal watercolors (although that’s definitely here). It’s about that human element and where creativity lives. Can you find it?

Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you. Send résumé and clips to Camillia Lanham at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

Opinion The price of progress?

H

ave you dined in a downtown SLO parklet? Maybe you sat on Monterey Street and enjoyed some Italian fare from Giuseppe’s Cucina Rustica, whose parklet helped turn Monterey into a one-way street between Chorro and Morro. Or maybe you grabbed a slice at Woodstock’s Pizza and ate along Higuera. Or maybe you enjoyed a farm-to-table nosh from Big Sky Café on the side of Broad. Or maybe you refuse to go to downtown SLO because parking sucks and San Luis is elitist and you remember the good old days. Wah! The city’s temporary parklet program grew out of the COVID-19 pandemic as an attempt to save struggling restaurants during state-mandated lockdown orders.

Depending on how you feel about al fresco dining, the parklets were either ingenious or a debacle that made the city’s already challenging parking situation even worse.

Can we at least all agree that cocktails-to-go was brilliant? Of course we can’t, because we can’t agree on anything.

So who wants a permanent parklet program? Not letter writer Rene Scarnegi, who implored the SLO City Council: “This is something that can’t be approved! The parklet program served our businesses downtown when they were needed during the pandemic.

Now—almost post-pandemic—they are not needed and we need to get our streets and parking spaces back … parklets are eyesores!”

Well, bad news, Rene, because parklets are officially here to stay. The council just voted to make the program permanent … for a price. A steep one at that. How does $8,710 per parking space per year sound?

Woodstock’s is going to need to sell a lot of slices if it hopes to keep its three-plus parking space dining parklet open, and co-owner Laura Ambrose couldn’t quite get her head around the proposed fees in her letter to the City Council.

“With our current set-up, we will be looking at an annual cost of nearly $28,500 starting next year. A rate of $4.54/square foot for a spot in the street is considerably higher than what we’re paying for our fully built-out restaurant building!” she said.

Lucky for her, City Council knocked that fee back to $6,760! Still, a lot. Not only are the new fees exorbitant, but the parklet program now comes with new requirements such as Americans with Disabilities Act compliance and dedicated bicycle parking. She went on to break down the city’s fees such as manual street sweeping, which would be $11,700 for Woodstock’s three spaces.

“We frequently sweep our outside dining area and will be happy to maintain this without city staff coming in with brooms,” she wrote. “We find it hard to believe that sweeping around our parklet alone is

The Shredder costing the city $225/week.”

4,000 oak trees fall in Nipomo’s Dana Then Ambrose took umbrage with Reserve and everyone is around to hear the city’s estimated parking revenue it, how loud will the protest be? Well, loss of $12,000 for Woodstock’s parklet: hang on to your hearing aids, because “This assumes that people will not come we’re about to find out. downtown and park any longer,” she Local development firm NKT posited. “No, they will just park in other Commercial wants to build 1,289 singleparking spots—either on the street or in and multi-family units on Cañada one of the city-owned parking structures.

Arts Artifacts

Gallery at Marina Square showcases three featured artists in latest exhibits

On Saturday, July 9, Gallery at Marina Square in Morro Bay will hold an opening reception to celebrate its three featured artists for the month of July. The local gallery will be showcasing artworks by watercolor painter Hope Myers, craft artist Steve Dayton, and photographer Gregory Siragusa through Sunday, July 30.

According to a press release from the venue, Myers has been a member of Gallery at Marina Square for more than 18 years.

Alongside her award-winning watercolor paintings, Myers also creates collage paintings and jewelry.

Dayton is a Salt Lake Citybased artist who creates his abstract paintings on wood panels, and places various objects in box frames to create his assemblages. One of Dayton’s acrylic painting series was inspired by his visits to the Central Coast.

Siragusa described photography as “an opportunity to marvel at all the beauty in the world.”

“Good photography is not a place, it is a state of mind, a feeling, a vibe with daily practice. Wandering the world, with a camera, family or friends, whether near or far, is an opportunity to capture and appreciate the glory of existence,” Siragusa said in the press release. “We are all here for a brief moment, we should all take the time to appreciate and surround ourselves with the marvelous.”

The July 9 reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the gallery.

For more info on the event and the gallery’s three new exhibits, call (805) 772-1068 or visit galleryatmarinasquare.com. Gallery at Marina Square is located at 601 Embarcadero, suite 10, Morro Bay.

No outside alcohol is permitted, but wine will be for sale by the glass and bottle during each performance. Show times are Fridays at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.), and Saturdays and Sundays at 6 p.m. (doors open at 5 p.m.). Ticket prices vary.

Pop goes the landmark

IMAGES COURTESY OF C. CHAD HOFFMAN

Photographer and digital artist C. Chad Hoffman draws inspiration from ’40s travel posters and ’70s pop art

C.

Chad Hoffman—“Chad” to his many friends—is best known locally as a bassist for a number of local bands over the years: Section 8 (he was a keyboardist then), Saguaro, Red Eye Junction, Dark 8 Zero, Zen Mountain Poets, and currently Emergency Good Times Band. Since the pandemic sort of wiped out the music industry for a couple of years, Hoffman needed a new creative outlet, and he found it in digital art inspired by the “See America” posters of the 1930s and ’40s and the colorful graphic designs of ’70s pop art.

He’s currently showing a collection of his colorful, iconic-looking posters at Atascadero’s Traffic Records, hanging through July 31. He spoke to New Times over a beer at one of his favorite watering holes, SLO’s Elks Lodge 322.

How did he get into poster design?

“When I was in Red Eye Junction, I watched [lead singer and guitarist] Reid Cain create posters for shows, and I thought, ‘Wow, that’s bitchin’.’ Then when I was playing with Zen Mountain Poets, I started making posters for our shows. They pretty much let me have free rein to design what I wanted, so I’m basically self-taught.”

A lot of band posters trend toward the pedestrian—a photo of the band is often the central theme. Hoffman had other ideas, trying to find a quirky image that would pull a viewer in: “If you can draw them in, then they’ll think, ‘Maybe I’ll check it out.’”

Soon, however, live shows—and the need for posters to promote them—dried up.

“Everything started shutting down and we weren’t playing much, and I had to do something creative, or I was going to go crazy,” he recalled.

“I got into the posters in 2020 and 2021 when things were dark and depressing for so many.

I wanted to show there was still beauty in the world despite the civil unrest and lockdowns.

I used super bright colors, and it was therapy for me. Better than taking anti-depressants.

There’s still beauty out there. I’d go to a place, put some music on, take some shots, and then go home and work on the images.”

Hoffman takes his photographs on his iPhone and imports the images into Adobe Photoshop editing software, where he first transforms the image to make it look like a painting or screen print. He manipulates color, sometimes adds graphic elements like the starburst sky in his poster of San Luis Obispo, and then adds the text on top.

Hoffman’s wife, Cory Bauer Hoffman, sometimes helps him with the color design.

THE MAN BEHIND THE CAMERA C. Chad Hoffman uses an iPhone camera and Adobe Photoshop software to transform his photos into landmark and pop art-style posters, which are on display at Atascadero’s Traffic Records through July 31.

on America’s Next Top Model hosted by Tyra Banks, so she BIG SUR SPLENDOR C. Chad Hoffman was early to rise to has an eye for color. At his wife’s catch this unusual angle of Big Sur’s iconic Bixby Bridge, which he encouragement, he eventually transformed into a 1940s-style “See America” educational poster. took a beginning Photoshop class at Cuesta College—his only formal instruction.

Photoshop is an amazing tool, but its powerful versatility is both a positive and negative—it’s complicated and takes a long time to become wholly proficient.

“It can get overwhelming, and if I get stuck at one point, I might scrap it and start all over again,” Hoffman admitted.

Does he ever contemplate stepping up to a higher resolution digital camera?

“I think the iPhone is adequate for what I’m doing right now,” he said, “Since I’m making it look like a painting, a little more grain or a little blurriness fits.”

It should probably be noted that Hoffman considers himself an “extreme introvert who does not like a lot of attention upon me,” which is why he switched from keyboard to bass. “If I do my job correctly, no one will notice that I’m there. They’ll feel the rhythm, yet the focus is on the lead singer or lead guitarist, but I am quite ecstatic and honored that folks might like to know what I do creatively.”

If he keeps putting out these amazing posters, he might have to get used to a little more attention. Hit up Traffic Records, peruse Hoffman’s website, Facebook, or Instagram, and soak up the colorful, iconic work of this self-taught but clearly talented visual artist.

“People sometimes ask me if I worry about running out of things to photograph, and I always say, ‘No. All you have to do is look around.

Great images are everywhere,’” Hoffman said. ∆ SEVENTIES STYLE The shadow of Terrace Contact Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Of artists and egos

UNDER PRESSURE Eccentric director Lola Cuevas (Penélope Cruz, center) puts brash international film star Félix Rivera (Antonio Bandaras, left) and legendary classically trained actor Iván Torres (Oscar Martínez) through the ringer as she develops a new film, in Official Competition, screening at The Palm Theatre in San Luis Obispo.

M

ariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat co-direct their script written with Andrés Duprat about the development of a film funded by wealthy businessman Humberto Suarez (José Luis Gómez) and directed by eccentric auteur Lola Cuevas (Penélope Cruz), who hires classically trained actor Iván Torres (Oscar Martínez) to star opposite brash, irreverent international film star Félix Rivero (Antonio Bandaras) in a story of two brothers competing for their parents’ affection. As they begin preparing for their roles, rehearsing, and developing their characters via Lola’s unconventional acting exercises, it quickly becomes clear Iván and Félix’s divergent approaches to the acting craft will result in a caustic artistic environment. (In Spanish; 115 min.)

Glen Filmmakers love to make films about filmmaking. Whether it’s Hellzapoppin’ (1941) about the travails of adapting a Broadway skit comedy into a dramatic big screen hit or Fellini’s dreamy avant-garde masterpiece 8 1/2 (1963), or even Charlie Kaufman’s writer’s block nightmare Adaptation (2002) or the scorching satire of Tropic Thunder (2008), it’s a topic filmmakers live themselves. Official Competition examines the egos of three highly artistic individuals with very different ways of expressing their artistry. As an entertaining examination of narcissism, it’s both amusing and tragic, and the actors are clearly relishing their roles.

Cruz’s Lola is a destroyer because she wants to re-create from the ground up.

This metaphor becomes literal during the story. Martinez’s Iván is a pretentious snot with barely concealed disdain for both Lola’s eccentricities as a director and Félix’s unstudied approach to acting.

Félix is brash and dismissive and riddled with hubris. Tragically flawed, one and all. What we’re witnessing is three amazing actors turning in amazing performances in service to a dissection of the oftentimes absurd cinematic arts.

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth, Anna? Full price What’s it worth, Glen? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm Theatre of San Luis Obispo a series of theater classes knows these people. Heck—some of us have even been these people. Ivan is a theater teacher, and in one session he tells a group of youthful hopefuls that only one of the group, if they are incredibly lucky, will become a great actor. He then invites them to leave if they have even a small inkling of an idea that they aren’t that one person. No one leaves. Ah, the egos of performers, right? You can’t blame the rich man who placates the audience for doing what he does well, and you can’t blame the seasoned shrew who thinks himself too good for it all—the fact of the matter is that he is, actually, really good. Throw in one of those directors who asks too much, too often, and never finds satisfaction, and you have a recipe for something great. These people push each other. They don’t love each other or like each other much. Yet they do all share the innate need to create, to give these characters life, to create a brotherhood where one does not actually exist. They like to mess with each other, to bend what is acceptable to meet their needs.

Glen It’s an interesting examination of process. There are directors who are

well known for unorthodox measures to push their actors into a spellbinding performance. Stanley Kubrick, Darren Aronofsky, Alfred Hitchcock, Lars Von Trier—all known to go to outrageous lengths to elicit something great. I’m not sure Lola’s techniques are as abusive as some of the famed, aforementioned directors, but there is a third act twist in Official Competition that might suggest she went too far in pitting Ivan and Félix against one another. This film might appeal most to cinephiles, but if an outlandish satire of the film world— expertly acted and directed—sounds like your bag, jump on in. The water’s scalding!

Anna Lola prizes her art above all else, and there’s no doubt she pushes both of these actors past their comfort zone and also turns them into rivals instead of acting partners. Real life becomes far too close to what’s on the page, but it’s all worth it to Lola to produce something amazing. There’s no question the three main actors in the film are immensely talented. It’s certainly an engaging and engrossing watch. Watching Félix and Iván nip at each other’s heels while Lola chips away at them bit by bit is both delightful and painful. Movie making is messy sometimes, and this story is certainly an example of that. Δ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen. Glen compiles listings.

isturbing doesn’t even begin to describe what has happened behind the walls of Warren Jeffs’ church of Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints.

The “fundamentalist” part separates this group from the LDS church in a big way—they still practice polygamy.

This isn’t Seeking Sister Wives, though. These are young girls who are married off to older men in the church and forced into a life of keeping their mouths shut, bearing children, and worshiping Jeffs as a prophet of God. This four-part docuseries interviews former members of the church who were either outcast or fled the oppressive society. It also details Jeffs and his evasion of law enforcement, his eventual capture, and subsequent trials.

At the same time, it is totally fascinating and more than once I yelled at the screen, “Are you kidding me???” when watching how Jeffs became the horrible leader he was and how he used and abused his followers for years—and somehow continues to manipulate them from prison.

Documentary fans should definitely add this to their watch list. (4 episodes totaling 3-hours and 12-min.)

avid Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Marley & Me, Collateral Beauty) directs this story about Evart, Michigan, couple Jerry (Bryan Cranston) and Marge Selbee (Annette Benning), who discover a loophole in the Massachusetts WinFall lottery and begin to win big money. Based on the article

by Jason Fagone with a screenplay by Brad Copeland, the story explores how the Selbees helped revitalize their small town while fending off a competing group of lottery players headed by a snotty Harvard student (Uly Schlesinger).

This feel-good story may not be big screen-worthy, but it’s a charming diversion if you’re already a Paramount subscriber. Cranston is terrific as everyman Jerry, a nice human being with the math skills to discover a way to game the system. It’s not cheating; it’s a loophole the lottery makers missed, and

WALKING ON SUNSHINE Retirees Marge (Annette Benning) and Jerry Selbee (Bryan Cranston) win big money and help their town until a group of Harvard students try to outwit them, in Jerry and Marge Go Large. even after it’s discovered, it’s clear the Selbees haven’t done anything wrong.

They merely exploited a loophole that was there for anyone to discover.

Soon the Selbees bring their fellow townsfolk into the fold, but tension arises when a group of Harvard students try to intimidate the players of Evart. Can Jerry outwit the university upstarts? It’s a sweet, earnest film that’s not going to win any awards, but it’s a charming diversion.

Beach Party Bongo Slightly Stoopid comes to the Avila Beach Golf Resort

A

re you ready for the beach party of the year? Otter Productions, Inc. hosts Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, Common Kings, and Fortunate Youth next Thursday, July 14, at the Avila Beach Golf Resort (gates at 4 p.m. and show at 5; all ages; $49.99 general or $143.50 Beach Balcony at tixr.com).

That’s a whole lot of mashed up reggae and more.

Straight out of Ocean Beach, headliner Slightly Stoopid was formed by multiinstrumentalists Kyle McDonald and Miles Doughty, who describe their music as “a fusion of folk, rock, reggae, and blues with hip-hop, funk, metal, and punk.”

This everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach has served them well. They were originally signed by Bradley Nowell (of Sublime) to his Skunk Records while they were still in high school. Nine albums later, they’re on top of the world.

Also, low ticket warning! The Rebelution show with Steel Pulse, Denm, and DJ Mackle on Sunday, Aug. 14, at Avila Beach Gold Resort is almost sold out ($60 general at tixr.com).

Big two at BarrelHouse Brew

Numbskull and Good Medicine have a couple of great shows lined up at BarrelHouse Brewing in Paso Robles this week.

Urban Latino hip-hop act Ozomatli plays on Friday, July 8 (7 p.m.; all ages; $30 presale at goodmedicinepresents.com or $35 day of show). As their bio notes, “Ozomatli’s music is as multifaceted as its members and influences. Meeting as young political activists and musicians, the original band formed in Los Angeles in 1995 to play a notorious urban-Latinoand-beyond collision of hip-hop and salsa, dancehall and cumbia, samba and funk, merengue and comparsa, East LA R&B and New Orleans second line, Jamaican ragga and Indian raga—all while following a key mantra: It will take you PHOTO COURTESY OF OZOMATLI

around the world by taking you around Los Angeles.”

This is a super fun live act.

Country artist David Nail plays BarrelHouse Brewing on Saturday, July 9 (6 p.m.; all ages; $27 presale at goodmedicinepresents.com or $30 day of show). He hit the music scene running in 2002 with the release of his debut single “Memphis,” and he’s since released four studio albums and two No. 1 hits, “Let It Rain” and “Whatever She’s Got.”

All out at The Siren

The Siren’s got a very big week ahead.

First, don’t forget about The Susan Ritchie Band as they release her new EP on Thursday, July 7 (7 p.m.; 21-andolder; free). Amazing, sexy, bluesy songs that will stir your heart.

Surf rock act Par Avion plays The Siren on Friday, July 8 (8 p.m.; 21-andolder; free). The band “builds upon the traditions of Southern California’s reverbheavy surf sound then takes a journey that touches upon a unique mix of flavors ranging from dance, Latin, and some good ol’ garage to name a few,” they explained.

On Saturday, July 9, check out Molly Ringwald Project Summertime ’80s Party (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $25 at Eventbrite.com). This sextet creates a nostalgic ’80s experience. According to the band, they want to “set themselves apart from the normal musical acts you see at clubs by putting on an actual show from beginning to end and not just getting through the songs, but really nailing them.”

Local blues, Americana, rock, and jazz act The Taproots play a free afternoon show at The Siren on Sunday, July 10 (3:30 to 6:30 p.m.), celebrating their excellent debut album, Tales of Wonderland. Featuring singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tom Walters and award-winning vocalist Nicole Cassingham, they sing terrific harmonies.

Mozaic and Whiskey

SLO Brew Rock has teamed with Festival Mozaic to present an evening with Americana singer-songwriter Rachel Baiman on Saturday, July 9 (7 p.m.; all ages; $20 at ticketweb.com).

Baiman’s 2017 debut, Shame, showcased the multi-instrumentalist’s “fearless voice of the American female experience,” according to press materials.

The free Rod & Hammer Ranch Whiskey Fest is scheduled for Sunday, July 10 (noon; all ages) with The Mark Adams Band (noon to 2 p.m.), The Salty Suites (2:30 to 4:30 p.m.), and Cuesta Ridge (5 to 7 p.m.) performing on the outdoor stage. Enjoy lasso tossing, mechanical bull rides, a petting zoo, axe throwing, games, and food and drink.

Pismo’s new Pequín restaurant dishes up Mexican fare with Central Coast flair

M

elding the bold flavors of his childhood with locally sourced ingredients, Pequín Coastal Cocina executive chef Frank Barajas, of Santa Maria, hopes his new restaurant will fill a void in the area for elevated, Mexican-inspired cuisine.

Launched on June 28 and replacing Somerset Grill at Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach, Pequín is named for one of Barajas’ favorite childhood spices—a brilliant red chili pepper packing more heat than a jalapeño.

Introducing adventurous diners to the “Baja coastal” cuisine of his youth “has always been a dream of mine,” Barajas said.

At Pequín, the culinary team will feature brunch and dinner options that bring “classic Mexican culinary techniques to the forefront using local ingredients and fresh flavors,” he explained. “Sauces are not mounted with butter or thickened with flour. Proteins are seasoned and marinated in warm spices and citrus notes for a lighter touch.”

Barajas said the inspiration for his dishes comes from the abundance of fresh fish and produce in California; traditional Mexican recipes from his parents, who were raised in Baja California and Michoacán; and “the street food I ate as a kid with my father in Tijuana, Mexico, which is only 30 minutes from San Diego, where I grew up.”

Barajas’ standout entrees—sourced from Morro Bay fish markets and Central Coast ranchers—include seafood pozole verde and sea bass in banana leaves, roasted tri-tip steak with salsa pequín and avocado salsa verde, and, of course, tacos.

“Tacos in all shapes, flavors, and sizes are always a favorite,” Barajas said.

“There will be lots of special preparations offered throughout the year to showcase some of the creative ways we can elevate the simple hand-held dish.”

Bienvenidos

Pequín is located at the Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach at 147 Stimson Ave. Hours are daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. for brunch, and from 5 to 9 p.m. for dinner. The bar is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Visit vesperapismobeach.com/dining for more details and reservations. Follow the eatery on Instagram and Facebook @pequincoastalcocina.

The restaurant’s swordfish al pastor tacos are already locally famous. The dish—complemented by crispy cheese, gooseberry salsa borracha, onion, cilantro, pineapple, and pop rock candy— earned Barajas top chef honors at the 16th annual Taste of Pismo competition last summer.

You can find these court forms and more information at the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo. ca.gov/selfhelp), your county law library, or the courthouse nearest you. If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the court clerk for a fee waiver form. If you do not file your response on time, you may lose the case by default, and your wages, money and property may be taken without further warning from the court.

There are other legal requirements. You may want to call an attorney right away. If you do not know an attorney, you may want to call an attorney referral service.

You can locate these nonprofit groups at the California Legal Services Web site (www.lawhelpcalifornia. org), the California Courts online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo. ca.gov/selfhelp), or by contacting your local court or county bar association. NOTE: The court has a statutory lien for waived fees and costs on any settlement or arbitration award of $10,000 or more in a civil case. The court’s lien must be paid before the court will dismiss the case.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Take a specific action to diminish the sadness you feel about your No. 1 regret. Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): My readers and I have collaborated to provide insights and inspirations about the topic “How to Be an Aries.” Below is an amalgam of my thoughts and theirs— advice that will especially apply to your life in the coming days.

1. If it’s easy, it’s boring. —Beth Prouty. 2. If it isn’t challenging, do something else. —Jennifer Blackmon Guevara. 3. Be confident of your ability to gather the energy to get unstuck, to instigate, to rouse—for others as well as yourself. 4. You are a great initiator of ideas and you are also willing to let go of them in their pure and perfect forms so as to help them come to fruition. 5. When people don’t get things done fast enough for you, be ready and able to do it yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I know three people who have told me, “I don’t like needing anyone for anything.” They fancy themselves to be rugged individualists with impeccable self-sufficiency. They imagine they can live without the help or support of other humans. I don’t argue with them; it’s impossible to dissuade anyone with such a high level of delusion. The fact is, we are all needy beings who depend on a vast array of benefactors. Who built our houses, grew our food, sewed our clothes, built the roads, and create the art and entertainment we love? I bring this up, Taurus, because now is an excellent time for you to celebrate your own neediness. Be wildly grateful for all the things you need and all the people who provide them. Regard your vigorous interdependence as a strength, not a weakness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Bounce up and down when you walk.

Express 11 different kinds of laughs. Be impossible to pin down or figure out. Relish the openings that your restlessness spawns. Keep changing the way you change. Be easily swayed and sway others easily. Let the words flowing out of your mouth reveal to you what you think. Live a dangerous life in your daydreams but not in real life. Don’t be everyone’s messenger, but be the messenger for as many people as is fun for you. If you have turned out to be the kind of Gemini who is both saintly and satanic, remember that God made you that way—so let God worry about it.

CANCER

Call Patricia today!

805.546.8208

(June 21-July 22): As a child, Cancerian author June Jordan said, “I used to laugh all the time. I used to laugh so much and so hard in church, in school, at the kitchen table, on the subway! I used to laugh so much my nose would run and my eyes would tear and I just couldn’t stop.” That’s an ideal I invite you to aspire to in the coming days. You probably can’t match Jordan’s plenitude, but do your best. Why? The astrological omens suggest three reasons: 1. The world will seem funnier to you than it has in a long time. 2. Laughing freely and easily is the most healing action you can take right now. 3. It’s in the interests of everyone you know to have routines interrupted and disrupted by amusement, delight, and hilarity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In accordance with the astrological omens, here’s your assignment for the next three weeks: Love yourself more and more each day. Unleash your imagination to come up with new reasons to adore and revere your unique genius. Have fun doing it. Laugh about how easy and how hard it is to love yourself so well. Make it into a game that brings you an endless stream of amusement.

PS: Yes, you really are a genius—by which I mean you are an intriguing blend of talents and specialties that is unprecedented in the history of the human race.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Novelist Lydia Peelle writes, “The trouble was, I knew exactly what I wasn’t. I just didn’t know who I was.” We all go through similar phases, in which we are highly aware of what we don’t want, don’t like, and don’t seek to become. They are like negative grace periods that provide us with valuable knowledge. But it’s crucial for us to also enjoy periods of intensive self-revelation about what we

do want, what we do like, and what we do seek to become.

In my astrological estimation, you Virgos are finished learning who you’re not, at least for now. You’re ready to begin an era of finding out much, much more about who you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need the following experiences at least once every other day during the next 15 days: a rapturous burst of unexpected grace; a gentle eruption of your strong willpower; an encounter with inspiration that propels you to make some practical improvement in your life; a brave adjustment in your understanding of how the world works; a sacrifice of an OK thing that gives you more time and energy to cultivate a really good thing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This might sound like an unusual assignment, but I swear it’s based on two unimpeachable sources: research by scientists and my many years of analyzing astrological data. Here’s my recommendation, Scorpio: In the coming weeks, spend extra time watching and listening to wild birds. Place yourself in locations where many birds fly and perch. Read stories about birds and talk about birds. Use your imagination to conjure up fantasies in which you soar alongside birds. Now read this story about how birds are linked to happiness levels: tinyurl.com/BirdBliss

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In accordance with current astrological omens, I have four related suggestions for you. 1. Begin three new projects that are seemingly beyond your capacity and impossible to achieve with your current levels of intelligence, skill, and experience—and then, in the coming months, accomplish them anyway. 2. Embrace optimism for both its beauty and its tactical advantages. 3. Keep uppermost in mind that you are a teacher who loves to teach and you are a student who loves to learn. 4. Be amazingly wise, be surprisingly brave, be expansively visionary—and always forgive yourself for not remembering where you left your house keys.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you ever wanted to use the Urdu language to advance your agendas for love and romance, here’s a list of endearments you could use: 1 jaan-e-man (heart’s beloved); 2. humraaz (secret-sharer; confidante); 3. pritam (beloved); 4. sona (golden one); 5. bulbul (nightingale); 6. yaar (friend/lover); 7. natkhat (mischievous one). Even if you’re not inclined to experiment with Urdu terms, I urge you to try innovations in the way you use language with your beloved allies. It’s a favorable time to be more imaginative in how you communicate your affections.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author John Berger described birch trees as “pliant” and “slender.” He said that “if they promise a kind of permanence, it has nothing to do with solidity or longevity—as with an oak or a linden—but only with the fact that they seed and spread quickly. They are ephemeral and recurring—like a conversation between earth and sky.”

I propose we regard the birch tree as your personal power symbol in the coming months. When you are in closest alignment with cosmic rhythms, you will express its spirit.

You will be adaptable, flexible, resourceful, and highly communicative. You will serve as an intermediary, a broker, and a go-between.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People who don’t know much about astrology sometimes say that Pisceans are wishy-washy.

That’s a lie. The truth is, Pisceans are not habitually lukewarm about chaotic jumbles of possibilities. They are routinely in love with the world and its interwoven mysteries.

On a regular basis, they feel tender fervor and poignant awe.

They see and feel how all life’s apparent fragments knit together into a luminous bundle of amazement. I bring these thoughts to your attention because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to relish these superpowers of yours— and express them to the max. ∆
