State Parks held to more stringent dust mitigation efforts at Oceano Dunes

T

he San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District is cracking down on California State Parks, and about 48 acres of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area are expected to be closed to vehicles by 2020.

At a lengthy hearing on Nov. 18, the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) hearing board voted 4-1 to approve more stringent changes to a stipulated abatement order under which the park’s dust mitigation process is currently operating.

The newly approved, modified order includes more specific projects State Parks will have to take on within the coming year to reduce potentially harmful dust emissions in the Oceano Dunes, according to Karl Tupper, an air quality monitoring specialist who spoke at the meeting. It also includes set deadlines and strategies for moving forward if those target dates aren’t met.

“It’s designed to hardwire the mitigations for this next year,” Tupper said at the meeting, “and also to shore up and fix the process that broke down this last time.”

The APCD board was called to convene after a canceled October workshop due to State Parks’ failure to complete a work plan for dust mitigation that the APCD and its scientific advisory group would approve. While State Parks did submit two drafts of an annual work plan for 2019—the first on the Aug. 1 deadline—both were rejected by the APCD, and at the hearing on Nov. 18, APCD Officer Gary Willey called the plans “grossly inadequate.”

Under the modified order, State Parks will be required to close vehicle riding in a 48-acre swath of land near the shoreline by Jan. 1, 2020.

The space is currently used for camping and riding, but it will soon be home to a restored, vegetated foredune that scientists say will help prevent the spread of dust in the park and neighboring communities.

State Parks will also have to begin implementing 40 acres of temporary, seasonal dust controls and 4.2 additional acres of permanent dust mitigation efforts by March 15, 2020.

At the Nov. 18 meeting, several community members who live in Oceano and on the Nipomo Mesa called for more intense action to reduce dust emissions.

Mesa resident Laurance Shinderman asked the hearing board to approve the proposed modifications but to consider coming down harder on State Parks.

“So here we are again,” Shinderman said during public comment, holding a tin can high above his head. “Will we continue to kick the can down the road or take meaningful and corrective action?”

Shinderman dropped the can on the ground, where he left it after wrapping up his comments, causing those in favor of keeping the dunes largely open to vehicles to repeatedly shout, “Pick up your trash!” Shinderman shouted back that he’d pick up his litter after they clean up theirs from the dunes.

Next, Nipomo resident Carla Haynie faced the hearing board members, who she said “apparently have no backbone.”

“You are just like boiled noodles,” Haynie said.

“You hold all the cards. You can actually close the gate and tell them these are the lists of things to accomplish, and until they’re accomplished, you don’t get to go back out on the park.”

But when board member Robert Carr moved to scrap the proposed modifications and declare the Oceano Dunes a public nuisance, which would give the APCD more regulatory power over the dust mitigation process, it wasn’t seconded.

Acting Chair Yarrow Nelson said he’d rather stick with staff’s recommendations.

“For me personally, I think that this

Grand View owners missed fumigation deadline

Some Grand View Apartments tenants are less than a week away from their eviction dates, but property owners still haven’t followed through with the city’s fumigation requirements.

During the Nov. 19 Paso Robles City Council meeting, Mayor Steve Martin extended his sympathies for the tenants facing this issue.

“I would like to express on my behalf and on behalf of the entire council the fact that even though there may be those who think we aren’t aware of your situation, we are. We are all deeply hurt that you are facing this challenge particularly at this time of the year,” Martin said.

In October, the city served the Grand View owners with an order to fumigate the complex by Nov. 4 due to a widespread bedbug, cockroach, and vermin infestation. As part of the fumigation order, the owners must also pay for treatment of the tenants’ belongings.

Eleven tenants are slated to be out of the complex by Nov. 26, and the remainder of the tenants by Christmas Eve.

FIGHTING FOR CLEAN AIR Hundreds of people from across the state attended a California Coastal Commission meeting in San Luis Obispo on July 11, where commissioners denied staff recommendations to limit offhighway vehicle riding in the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area. Many familiar faces were at the Air Pollution Control District hearing board meeting on Nov. 18.

stipulated process is working quite well,” Nelson said. “We hit a hiccup here in the fall when the work plans were not up to the requirements of the scientific advisory group, but I think in general the stipulated order process is working pretty well and, with the modifications made here, I think we’re making good progress.” Δ —Kasey Bubnash On Nov. 14, in an email exchange between Stephanie Barclay, SLO Legal Assistance Foundation legal director, and the city’s legal counsel, the city received confirmation that the Grand View owners made a down payment to tent the complex on Dec. 9.

According to the email, the owners said that they would provide the unit-specific spray/ fogging treatment for tenants forced to move before Dec. 9, if tenants gave the owners a fiveday notice of the need.

City Manager Tom Frutchey told New Times the owners won’t see any repercussions for missing the Nov. 4 deadline because the fumigation companies in the area had “other commitments and couldn’t put all the equipment together” so it “unfortunately couldn’t be done.”

The city is waiting on one local hotel, which expressed its interest in providing the tenants with temporary housing, to give a list of available rooms and prices.

Peoples’ Self-Help Housing appealed to the community this month, seeking donations that would go toward relocation assistance, temporary accommodation expenses, security deposits, replacement costs of clothing and NEWS continued page 6

Cost of new animal shelter soars to $20 million

It took some eleventh-hour negotiating from San Luis Obispo County to convince the cities of Paso Robles and Atascadero to rejoin its $13.2 million regional animal shelter project in 2018.

Sticker-shocked, the cities nearly went their separate ways for animal services— before SLO County promised a $1 million discount on the project and a more prominent seat at the planning table.

But those promises may be moot now.

Design and construction bids for the 15,000-square-foot shelter recently came back at $20 million, a more than 50 percent spike over initial estimates.

“Obviously, it doesn’t make anybody happy,” said Steve Martin, the mayor of Paso Robles, which agreed to pay its share of the cost increase at a Nov. 5 City Council meeting. “In my opinion, it’s no longer cost efficient to look for another alternative.”

With two bidders to choose from, SLO County picked Lodi-based firm F&H Construction for the project. Now, it’s asking each participating local city to approve an amendment to their financing agreement that raises the cities’ annual payments by about 50 percent.

The unexpected cost increase is being blamed on “a high demand for design and construction of capital projects” throughout California; a labor shortage; and tariffs on building materials, according to staff reports from Paso Robles and the city of SLO. Paso’s staff report also mentions a “discovery” by the county that the proposed shelter site—near the current shelter on Oklahoma Road off Highway 1—has the same soil stability issues that plague the existing shelter. It was built in 1975 atop a landfill used by the Army in the ’40s.

County administrators did not return a request for comment before press time.

Of the seven city partners on the project, Paso and Atascadero have the highest annual cost—$139,097 and $115,186, respectively—due to their high demand for animal services.

Newsom’s new oil policies won’t affect Price Canyon production, yet

Although the state’s temporary moratorium on new permits for oil wells that use high-pressure extraction methods doesn’t directly impact the Arroyo Grande Oil Field, it sets the stage for a future that could.

There are essentially three parts to an announcement made by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration through the Department of Conservation on Nov. 19. A moratorium prohibits new wells that use high-pressure cyclic steaming to break apart geological formations to extract oil, and there will be an independent review (by experts from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) of pending oil

VIEWER DISCRETION permit applications for hydraulic fracturing and other well stimulation practices. But there’s also a rule-making component, which state Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) told New Times is meant to focus on public health and safety of areas close to oil production.

“While this doesn’t block use of steam injection or high-powered extraction, it does put a moratorium on new permits for new wells that could evolve to a prohibition on new wells,” Monning told New Times. “That rule-making process would be open to everybody in SLO County. Anyone can participate in the open public meetings. And one thing that I’ve discerned in terms of health and safety protections, it could result in broader buffer zones in populated areas.

It could look at water protections.”

Water protection has been at the center of opposition to Sentinel Peak’s operations on the Arroyo Grande Oil Field in Price Canyon and was a key argument in favor of Measure G, a failed 2018 voter initiative that tried to ban hydraulic fracturing and new oil wells in SLO County. Sabrina Lockhart from the California Independent Petroleum Association, which Sentinel Peaks is a member of, said the governor’s actions on hydraulic fracturing and high-pressure steam injection don’t pertain to operations in Price Canyon. The Arroyo Grande Oil Field is a mix of traditional and steaminjected oil wells.

The governor’s press release pegs the recent surface leaks at the Cymric Oil Field in Kern County as an impetus for the action. Assemblymember Monique Limón’s (D-Santa Barbara) Assemly Bill 1057, was also one of the reasons for the action. Limón’s legislation, which Newsom signed in October, renamed the agency overseeing the oil industry to CalGEM (Geologic Energy Management Division), redirected its mission to focus more on public health and safety, and increased the bond costs companies pay to ensure safety compliance when they abandon their oil and gas operations.

The bill doesn’t include language about a moratorium.

A statement Limón’s office sent to New Times said the governor’s announcement aligned with the mission of her bill.

“The moratorium the governor has placed on new fracking and steaminjection permits is an important step for California,” she said in the statement.

“His announcement today [on Nov. 19] is aligned to the work that I and other members of the Legislature have been doing to protect Californians from dangerous and costly drilling practices.”

Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) called the governor’s temporary moratorium “executive overreach.”

“Policymaking of this scope and magnitude should come by way of the legislative process, not executive fiat,” Cunningham said in a statement emailed to New Times. “Policymakers should have the opportunity to weigh the costs and benefits of such a large decision through the democratic process.”

Monning contends that it’s within both the governor’s purview and the Department of Conservation’s authority to take actions like this recent one.

“They can do a lot through their existing authority and that’s what they’re doing. I think the distinction is that Gov. Newsom is taking some bold steps in comparison to the steps that Gov.

[Jerry] Brown took,” Monning said.

“Whatever the final determinations are, it’s going to be informed by science and third party experts. I think it’s consistent with him taking bold action in other areas. I think it’s a thoughtful approach as well.”

Los Osos residents’ ‘mystery’ water bills exceed $1,000

In September 2018, Los Osos resident Lars Lindgren paid an inexplicably high water bill. Afterward, he made sure to do everything in his power to ensure it didn’t happen again. He locked his spigots; he consulted with his landscaper and plumber; he bought a new hot water heater.

That’s why, a year later, Lindgren was dismayed to see his August/ September bill come in even higher than before—$1,212.50. The 80,036 gallons of water allegedly consumed marked a 650 percent increase above his usual use.

“To find this big spike again ... we didn’t know what to think of it,” Lindgren told Los Osos CSD board members at a Nov. 7 meeting. “We’ve done a lot of things to make sure we’re not wasting water. ... I was just very concerned and a little confused and frustrated.”

Lindgren wasn’t alone. Matthew Gellerman, who lives across town from Lindgren, also received a mysterious bill of $1,392.50 for the same billing cycle.

Both residents protested the high bills to the CSD board of directors.

“I know these situations are difficult, since there’s really no explanation where the water went,” Ron Munds, general manger of the Los Osos CSD, told his board. “In this case, there was really no indication of what happened here.”

CSD officials claim that their water meter readings are accurate. They found no leaks or issues that would suggest otherwise.

“I don’t think the meter is lying,” Director Matthew Fourcroy said. “I think the water ... went somewhere, but obviously we’re not sure where.”

Board President Marshall Ochylski noted that Los Osos experiences “a regular September spike” on water bills that’s of concern to him.

“But nothing to this level,” he said. “I don’t know what to say. It seems bizarre that this has happened the last couple of Septembers.”

The board voted unanimously to offer a “middle ground” rate for both customers.

While the exact amount wasn’t shared, Munds said the compromise would be somewhere in between the customers’ typical bill and the September anomalies.

Board members expressed sympathy for the customers, noting that they seemed to be trying their best to get to the bottom of the mystery.

“I don’t know what more they can do,” Director Vicki Milledge said. “I love a mystery, don’t get me wrong, but this one is just weird.”

Pismo Beach moves to make room for more affordable housing

Pismo Beach is working to get itself off the state’s “naughty list” for failing to provide adequate housing for residents at all income levels, and that effort will likely include bringing a number of new affordable housing units to the city.

At a meeting on Nov. 19, the Pismo Beach City Council unanimously voted to introduce ordinances that would create a residential very high density overlay district and rezone a property on 4th Street from retail commercial to high density residential. Both moves would allow for the development of about 88 housing units in the very low- and lowincome categories, according to a city staff report, units that were supposed to be provided in the last two cycles of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) but were not.

“I’m thrilled to pieces that we’re going ahead with this because we really, really need this,” Councilmember Sheila Blake said at the Nov. 19 meeting. “And it’s very little of a choice on our part. We have to do something.”

All California jurisdictions are expected to accommodate for the development of a certain number of housing units by RHNA, and if a city’s quota isn’t met, it risks the loss of local control over development, legal challenges, and lost state funding.

In December 2018, Pismo Beach received a letter of noncompliance from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, which oversees RHNA, regarding its failure to meet its RHNA quota.

Now the city is working to catch up, according to Planning Department Project Manager Brian Schwartz, who said at the meeting that two sites could help Pismo meet its goals: a 1.2-acre lot at 855 4th St. that currently contains a medical building and parking, and another 1-acre lot just down the street.

The first parcel would need to be rezoned to hold a housing unit, and the city’s proposed ordinances would do just that. While one community member shared concerns about overcrowding and increased traffic in Pismo Beach, others showed support for the ordinances.

“The previous speaker mentioned that we need to keep in mind the needs of the people who live here,” Grover Beach resident Krista Jeffries said at the meeting, “and projects just like this do support the people who live here because the people who live here can afford to live there and also work in the hospitality industries that Pismo Beach relies on for NEWS continued page 9

Free on the farm Locals brace for a controversial farm animal welfare law set to take effect in 2020

A

s of now, egg-laying hens, breeding pigs, and calves raised for veal in California are only required to have enough space to turn around freely, lie down, stand up, and fully extend their limbs.

That could all change in less than two months. A voter-approved law that would set more stringent space minimums for some farm animals is slated to take effect on Jan. 1, 2020. But the law, Proposition 12, and its passage have been controversial among animal rights activists—who say it doesn’t go far enough—and some farmers and ranchers across the nation—who argue the law would impose unfair restrictions on producers even outside of California.

Now a federal lawsuit questioning Proposition 12’s constitutionality could threaten its implementation altogether.

Either way, farmers and ranchers on the Central Coast aren’t expecting to feel much of an impact.

“There’s just no veal production on the Central Coast,” said Anthony Stornetta, president of the San Luis Obispo County Cattlemen’s Association.

While SLO County is considered a hot spot for the beef production industry, veal is more popular among dairy farmers, who can’t use male bulls for dairy production but don’t have the tools or space necessary for beef. They’ll use their male calves in the veal market.

But dairy farming isn’t popular in SLO, Santa Barbara, Ventura, or Monterey counties, Stornetta said, and neither are large-scale hog or egg farms.

California’s poultry industry is likely going to have to make the biggest changes because of Proposition 12, Stornetta said, but most hog and egg operations on the Central Coast are small, backyard-style businesses, many of which already center on more natural or free-range growing methods.

Spumoni Egg Farm is one of those operations, and the Morro Bay-based farm prides itself on serving up fresh eggs from well cared for hens that are free to roam in both a protected coop and an outdoor

Atascadero Colony Museum temporarily closes amid vandalism A string of vandalism and loitering has forced the Atascadero Colony Museum to shut its doors for the time being.

“There’s a concern. We’re concerned for our visitors and our members,” said Jim Wilkins, president of the Atascadero Historical Society.

space.

Their farm philosophy is all about providing the hens with what owner Daniella Magnano calls “a good chicken life,” and although she said Proposition 12 is a step in the right direction for the welfare of livestock animals, it’s a “nominal one at best.”

The minimum space requirements outlined by the law would only impact egg-laying hens, breeding pigs, and calves raised for veal, and it would be phased in over the next several years. In 2020, egg-laying hens would be required to have 1 square foot of floor space each, space requirements for breeding pigs would be unchanged, and calves raised for veal would need 43 square feet of floor space.

By 2022, egg-laying hens would have to be placed in cage-free housing systems that provide at least a square foot of floor space per hen and allow the hens to move around freely. Breeding pigs would need 24 square feet of floor space each, and requirements for veal would remain unchanged.

Spumoni Egg Farm won’t need to make any changes to comply with these requirements, Magnano said, as it already provides space far beyond that outlined in Proposition 12.

“While an indoor, densely packed confinement building with a square foot or so of personal space per laying hen is an improvement on the intensely constricting battery cages, it’s hardly a natural life for a bird,” Magnano wrote in an email to New Times. “We would much rather see species-specific needs and tendencies provided for, even in largescale operations. Some of these would be exposure to sunshine, fresh air, soil, and dust bathing areas.”

Animal rights activist and founder of SLO’s Happy Hen Animal Sanctuary Zoe Rosenberg agrees. She told New Times that while Proposition 12 has shown that policymakers and residents of California care about farm animals, its regulations will have little effect on animal welfare.

Rosenberg said that although some local farmers and ranchers might contact her to have animals placed in her

Wilkins said the museum has always had an issue with transients loitering on the property, but recently there has been an uptick in vandalism.

In the beginning of October, he said, a group of transients kicked over and broke a 104-year-old fountain on the museum property.

The following day, he said, a man who looked to be intoxicated came into the museum.

“This guy went in there and kind of looked really strung out, and it scared [a female docent],” Wilkins said. “Our lead archivist happened to be there that day, and he’s a little bit of a stocky guy. He came out, and the guy bolted out of there.”

sanctuary while they’re working to make more room to comply with Proposition 12, that hasn’t always been the case.

Hens on egg farms were given more space by a similar law several years ago, and Rosenberg said that resulted in the slaughter of a large number of birds just to make more room.

“In my view,” Rosenberg wrote in an email to New Times, “as long as animals are being raised for profit, their comfort will never be a priority in the eyes of large corporations and farm owners.”

Still, farmers and ranchers across the nation say the law—specifically its ban on the sale of products in California that do not meet the new space requirements— goes too far.

In October, the North American Meat Institute, a nonprofit trade association that provides regulatory assistance to meat packers and processors, filed a federal lawsuit against the state of California challenging the constitutionality of Proposition 12.

In the complaint, the Meat Institute argues that the sales ban included in the law illegally forces farmers and ranchers outside of California to comply with its requirements, which “go well beyond current industry standards,” or abandon the California market. The Meat Institute is seeking a preliminary injunction that would halt implementation of the law.

Though Proposition 12, whether it goes into effect or not, isn’t expected to have any major impacts on local farmers and ranchers, it brings up long-standing concerns that the people making laws that impact farmers don’t always know much about farming, according to Brent Burchett, president of the SLO County Farm Bureau.

When animal rights activists and legislators who might not know all the ins and outs of agriculture start dictating how farms are run, Burchett said, “That’s bad.” ∆ Staff Writer Kasey Bubnash can be reached at kbubnash@newtimesslo.com.

witnessed a drug deal in a nearby parking lot and called the police. When police arrived, one of the individuals involved in the deal ran into the museum and hid in one of the rooms.

That was when the Atascadero Historical Society decided as a board to close its doors.

According to the Atascadero Police Department, the museum is located right next to the creek where there’s been a history of criminal issues.

“We have had illegal camping, vandalism, and theft issues there for years. We have experienced an increase lately, as has the rest of that area,” the police department stated via email. “The creek access and the museum’s setback

and limited visibility from the street has contributed to the issue. This is not limited to the museum; we have had a noticeable increase in the area between East Mall and the creek.”

Department officials said they added foot patrol assignments in that area to supplement patrol and are partnering with the probation department, which has units checking the area for probationers.

Wilkins said the historical society is looking to reopen its doors in January, but not before installing security cameras. He said they’re looking for assistance with installing the cameras, landscaping, and handiwork. ∆ —Karen Garcia

f all goes as planned, by this time next year, new development will be allowed in Los Osos for the first time since 1988.

San Luis Obispo County is reaching the finish line on two key documents—a community plan and a habitat conservation plan—that if approved by state and federal agencies would unlock the building moratorium that’s shackled the coastal town for decades.

“It opens up the ability for new businesses, opens up the ability for new housing options,” said Bruce Gibson, SLO County’s 2nd District supervisor, who represents Los Osos.

But the county first has to convince the California Coastal Commission that Los Osos has a sustainable water supply to start growing again.

In the late ’80s, all future development was halted when water regulators determined that the town’s septic tank system was polluting the underground aquifer—the sole water source for the community. Combined with threats of seawater intrusion into the basin, Los Osos faced a water crisis.

“The Los Osos Community Plan got approved by everybody back in the late ’80s, but the hang-up was the [regional water board] putting on this moratorium that eventually became a no-build moratorium,” Gibson explained.

The 2015 completion of a new wastewater treatment plant, though, changed the future outlook for the community. Now that 99 percent of its properties are off septic tanks, SLO County is looking for the Coastal Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to sign off on a new Los Osos Community Plan and a habitat conservation plan, respectively, to allow the town to break ground again.

The community plan—a general plan of sorts—outlines the blueprint for 20 years of growth in Los Osos. It envisions a 29 percent increase in its population, from 14,000 residents to 18,000 residents.

It expects 1,861 new residential units as well as 364,000 square feet of new commercial space.

Gibson is particularly interested in the opportunities for new housing.

“We know we are short of housing in this county and this state,” he said. “I’m interested in using these new resources, if you will, in a new plan to try to work on affordable housing.”

Growth projections in Los Osos used to be a lot more ambitious; the previous plan from the ’80s expected as many as 28,000 future residents. But the water crisis quashed all that.

“We can show that we can provide water for 19,000 people,” Gibson said of the new plans.

The Los Osos habitat conservation plan, the second important document, is required by the U.S. Fish and Wildfire Service to address how future growth will affect federally endangered plants and animals. It accounts for impacts to the Morro Bay kangaroo rat and Morro Bay shoulderband snail—both endemic to the area and endangered—as well as the Indian knob mountainbalm (endangered)

FUTURE GROWTH After 31 years of being under a building moratorium, Los Osos is preparing for future growth.

and Morro manzanita (threatened).

New development in Los Osos could alter or remove 532 acres of species habitat, according to the plan. But 418 acres of new open space, allotted as part of the community plan, will provide opportunities to create new habitats. A Fish and Wildlife assessment of the impact to the snail species reads that, “over the long term, we expect an increase in the number of Morro shoulderband snails on the preserve to help offset the loss of individuals due to the covered activities.”

County officials expect Fish and Wildlife to approve the habitat conservation plan before the end of this year. Then the SLO County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors can review the Los Osos Community Plan during the first half of 2020. The community plan’s environmental impact report is currently open for public comment through Dec. 11.

Once approved by the county, the community plan will go to the Coastal Commission for its approval. Gibson noted that the Coastal Commission will likely be the toughest test, with particular scrutiny expected on the water supply.

Even with Los Osos’ more modest growth plans, Gibson said “it’s always challenging to satisfy the Coastal Commission.”

“What we’ll have to do is convince Coastal that our [water] plan is a real thing,” he said.

Since 2016, Los Osos’ three water purveyors have met regularly as part of a committee that’s charged with implementing a plan to help solve the aquifer’s woes.

Gibson said measures in the plan like installing nitrate removal treatment systems and shifting pumping away from the ocean are starting to work.

Community-wide water conservation has also helped reduce stress on the aquifer.

“We’re showing results,” he said.

“Seawater intrusion is lessening. Things are mostly headed in the right direction.”

If all goes according to plan, Los Osos might finally be lifted from its 31-year abeyance one year from now.

“And unicorns can roam the hills,” Gibson quipped. “But that’s my goal.

Everybody I talk to seems to think that’s a possible timeline.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Helping probation youth locally

T

he California State Association of Counties recognized Coast Valley Academy, a camp program run by the SLO County Probation Department, with a Challenge Award earlier this month.

The department received the award to highlight the regional approach that it took by creating a local facility where moderate to high risk teens in danger of re-offending could receive residential treatment.

“The idea behind the program is in lieu of sending kids away to group homes all over the state of California, and many times outside of the state, we’re able to keep them here locally,” Chief Probation Officer Jim Salio said.

Male and female youth from 14 to 17 years old who are ordered by the court to stay at the academy for six to 12 months receive intensive case management, treatment, and educational services through collaboration with a local treatment provider—Family Care Network—and the County Office of Education.

Salio said the county currently has two group homes, where teens are traditionally sent to in these cases, but the homes are not directed to help teens and are not locked environments. Without having a curfew to lock the home at night, he said, teens are more likely to run away from the group home program.

The issue isn’t unique to SLO County, he said, as statewide counties are having

How SLO’s coffee shops became primary art venues, and what it means for artists in our community

BY MALEA MARTIN man freestyles on the piano in one corner of Linnaea’s Cafe, complemented by the indie pop music playing over the speakers. A group of teens in another corner laugh and shriek their way through schoolwork.

The hum of coffee shop white noise is interrupted now and then by baristas calling out drink orders, and the grind of the espresso machine sends caffeinated whiffs throughout the shop.

Local artist Lena Rushing’s surreal paintings depicting women wrapped in everything from eels to elaborate ball gowns cover the walls. A customer stops, coffee mug in hand, to admire the large works before heading back to her stickercovered laptop.

After around 20 years of selling her artwork in cafés, galleries, and museums around town, Rushing said it’s her café buyers who tend to surprise her most.

“I had a guy spend two grand on this large piece that I had done,” Rushing told New Times. “He would see it every day in a coffee shop when he would go get his coffee … . He said, ‘I’m not an art lover.

I’m not an art collector. I didn’t even know that I liked art. But when I would go home, I would think about this painting— and I want to buy it.’

“This is a person that wouldn’t be going to galleries or museums to look at art,” Rushing continued. “We brought art to him.”

As it turns out, this is how most locals consume art on a regular basis: not in a gallery or museum, but in a curatorial coffee shop. While SLO is fortunate to have a sprinkling of galleries and museums, it’s the coffee shops that do the majority of the art hanging in town, according to Bettina Swigger, CEO of the Downtown SLO Association. A quick glance at a monthly Art After Dark map shows just how much coffee shops

to the consumer, local cafés can also provide opportunities for new and emerging artists. At Linnaea’s, an annual show gives everyone a chance to show their work.

“We call it ‘Hang it All.’ It has to be [priced at] under $100, and it’s open to everyone,” Orme said. “We take no commission from that show … . It’s first come, first serve, and we make room for everybody. [For] people who want to be an artist or who like to paint, it gives them an opportunity to actually get on the wall.”

Therefore, coffee shops are not only getting the art in front of more eyes, but also creating more inclusive opportunities for artists. It’s often less expensive for both the artist and the venue to show original art in a café than in a gallery or museum.

Looking at it from a supply-anddemand perspective, Downtown SLO CEO Swigger said that “if there were really a market for a ton of traditional, commercial art galleries to be opening in San Luis Obispo, it would be happening.”

With a higher price tag for both the consumer and the artist at galleries and museums, it “goes back to the commercial viability of those places,” she said.

A coffee shop has the luxury of taking little or no commission for the art that’s sold off its walls because it’s not the product that keeps the doors open. While art might enhance the overall coffee shop experience, adding value in a different sense, the low or nonexistent commissions mean it’s not what’s bringing in the big bucks.

With a gallery or museum, on the other hand, “It’s very difficult to find an affordable space,” Ramos said. “The square-foot price point is very high in most markets,” especially markets that aren’t swimming with art collectors.

For this reason, a coffee shop might offer an ease of access that a conventional space doesn’t offer, and local artist Rushing has experienced this firsthand.

“It’s easier to show in a café than a gallery,” Rushing said. “Galleries have contracts and charge a [larger] commission.”

What’s missing?

As supportive as local coffee shops are of the arts community, the apparent move toward coffee shops as the overwhelmingly dominant venue is not necessarily a move in the right direction, Ramos said.

“I think it can have a diminishing impact on the value of the art, and not just in the commercial context, but in terms of how it’s understood and studied,” he said.

Artwork can be difficult to sell above a certain price at a café, and Ramos said it can drive down the value of art, which contributes to a vicious cycle that makes it difficult for galleries and museums to stay afloat, as these locations rely on more

expensive artwork and the commissions they gain from it.

Orme spoke candidly about her experience selling high-priced art at Linnaea’s.

“Some artists price their work way above what would ever sell here,” she said.

“One piece of work for $1,000, a couple pieces for $700—not a problem. But if every piece of artwork is four, five, six, seven thousand dollars, then it doesn’t work here. That needs to be in a gallery.”

Rushing said she has found success selling her work at coffee shops— sometimes more than at her gallery shows. However, she still sees the unique value of art-centric spaces.

“A museum has to preserve, to keep things for future generations to see,” Rushing said. “You can do things in a gallery space that you absolutely cannot do in a café because a café has food and hot coffee and people moving around. In a gallery space, you can have interactive art, performance art, you can have enormous, mind-blowing art installations—and you can’t have any of that in a café.”

Orme echoed this sense of limitation when describing what types of art she gravitates toward.

“With this space here, larger works are better,” she said. “With a smaller work, you have to really get on top of it, and if you’ve got people sitting at the table, then that artwork is not going to be admired because nobody wants to intrude on somebody who’s sitting right there. … In galleries you can get 2 feet from it.”

Orme also said that she has to consider what will best fit in her space.

“If it’s very graphic, that doesn’t quite work in a coffee house scene because people are sitting, talking, relaxing,” she said. “There’s an ambiance going on that … certain art can be disruptive to.”

A place to be

Local artist Jami Ray enjoys showing her art from time to time in coffee shops— she has an upcoming show at Linnaea’s.

But she often opts to forge her own path.

Ray is the founder of Lamp Light Arts, a local art collective aiming to provide an alternate support system for local artists that bypasses the commissions and limitations that come with many arthanging venues. Members of the collective get booked to live paint at events, turning their artistic process into a product.

“Many of the artists in our community are not very pleased with the art organizations that are representing us, or the gallery process,” Ray said. “We’re kind of taking this into our own hands, and just showing up wherever we want in the county.”

Ray said she believes there’s a fine line between artists having a symbiotic

relationship with their venue and artists support artists like Ray because these getting taken advantage of. efforts come back around to improving “I feel like I am oftentimes adding the economic vitality of SLO. more value to their guest experience by “One of the big projects in my life is giving them art for their walls than I am trying to position arts and creativity getting back,” Ray said. “This should be a as critical to the conversation around different kind of partnership.” economic development,” Swigger said.

She said, however, that it depends on For curators and artists alike, a main what the venue is doing for its artists. difficulty of being an artist in SLO is “[If they’re] having the Art After Dark that nearby big cities can offer a larger reception, and putting out food, then I market with more opportunities.

I think Marianne [Orme] does has witnessed this happen. a lot for artists, and she definitely earns “The arts are a central part of our her commission,” Ray said, referring to how culture here, but if you’re a full-time Linnaea’s treats its artists. artist, it is a smaller market. There are There’s no doubt that coffee shops limited venues,” Ramos said. “So artists provide a unique set of benefits as are compelled to go to the Bay Area, LA, artistic venues, namely an increase and other markets.” in accessibility for both the artist and As an artist, Ray agreed that some of the consumer. And as PHOTO COURTESY OF MARIANNE ORME curator Ramos pointed out, because SLO has a relatively small artpurchasing demographic, and exorbitantly high property costs, coffee shops become the easy choice for many artists.

“The economics are such that there’s been a decline in showing space,” Ramos said of galleries and museums.

But the dominance of coffee shops as art venues in the community signals an underlying problem: “It doesn’t create a great marketplace for the art itself,” Downtown SLO CEO Swigger said. “I don’t believe that many CAFÉ MEETS GALLERY Art After Dark attendees sip people, when they see art wine and enjoy a group show at Linnaea’s Cafe. Owner in a peripheral context, Marianne Orme said she moves tables and provides an artist reception to turn her café into an art-focused space during are compelled to think this monthly event. about that as something that they could have ownership over.” her peers find SLO limiting.

Thanks for your service Centenarian WWII veterans honored in Santa Margarita

W

hen Harold R. Lowe, now 100 years of age, and Henry Barba, now 106, went off to fight in the second World War, thoughts of someday being honored for their service never entered their minds.

The Santa Margarita Senior Center had a full house on Nov. 12, when a crowd gathered to honor Lowe and Barba for their service to our nation and to share in the celebration of their birthdays.

Linda Peterman opened the ceremony, followed by an honor guard presenting the flags. Mariah Allchin sang an emotionevoking rendition of our national anthem, bringing tears to the eyes of many of those present.

Three certificates of appreciation were presented by 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold: a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Congressman Salud Carbajal, a California Legislative Assembly Certificate of Recognition from 35th District Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham, and a San Luis Obispo County Certificate of Recognition from Arnold and 1st District Supervisor John Peschong.

Following the presentation, all veterans were asked to come forward to be recognized and given the traditional red “Flanders Field” poppy, presented by Marine Sgt. Tommy Torgerson.

Lowe and Barba began their service

HODIN

in the first months of 1941. Lowe was drafted and Barba enlisted. Both attained the rank of private first class. While they served in vastly different ways, their contributions to this country demonstrate the American spirit of personal sacrifice for the greater good.

As a soldier with the 162nd Regiment, Company C, of the 41st Army, Lowe began his service in Australia. He was later sent to New Guinea where his duties entailed the rigors of being part of a fiveman mortar crew. Troops had to contend with poor communications, dense jungles, tropical rains, and snipers during their successful drive to remove the Japanese invaders from the island.

Lowe was granted a furlough to return home for 30 days in June 1944, after which he was to be reassigned in Europe. During the trip home, aboard ship, he suffered a bout of food poisoning and then contracted malaria. A week after arriving back in the United States, Harold married Virginia Cheda on July 1, 1944. Due to the malaria, he was not sent to Europe, instead completing his service in Marysville, California, as a prison guard overseeing German POWs. He was honorably discharged on Sept. 20, 1945.

During the Pacific War campaign, Pfc. Lowe earned several medals: AsiaticPacific Campaign Medal, American Defense Medal, Distinguished Unit Badge, and a Good Conduct Medal.

Attached to the National Guard Unit, Searchlight Battalion–250th Coast Artillery, Battery G, Barba was sent to Kodiak, Alaska, to defend against possible invasion by the Japanese who

Russell Hodin

14 • New Times • November 21 - November 28, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

had occupied part of the Aleutian Islands.

Barba’s assignments included kitchen, latrine, and guard duty. Conditions were bitter and resources scarce in Alaska, where Henry and fellow soldiers lived in “pup tents.” An interesting and amazing aspect of this Army encampment was that it was set up to fool the Japanese.

Full-size decoy planes were erected out of wood and paper, and the only thing they had to defend themselves with were wooden mock rifles! Later, when they were given real guns, Barba said he didn’t even know how to use one because he had never had an opportunity to practice.

Shortly after Barba was mustered out of the Army and returned home, he received a letter telling him to “prepare for return.”

This was followed by a letter telling him to “disregard the previous letter.”

Following the Santa Margarita ceremony, a delightful and delicious Thanksgiving-themed lunch, blessed by Pastor Paul Bautts, was enjoyed by all. ∆ Elizabeth Beeman wrote this to honor the service of Lowe and Barba. Send comments through the editor at clanham@ newtimesslo.com.

Letters Stop blaming the victims

It is always a travesty to read vitriolic filth in the local paper. “Enabling a crisis” (Nov. 14) by Mr. Maccarone is just another

display of a unfortunate American slogan: “Blame the victim.”

This man has the gall to label the poorest in our society as “parasites.”

These are our fellow human beings, and they too deserve dignity and respect.

Instead of vilifying homelessness, you should wonder, why is there so much poverty and dispossession in America?

Did Mr. Maccarone feel the same about giving away free stuff when Wall Street was rewarded trillions of tax dollars for paralyzing our economy 11 years ago? And how many of the homeless and paupers in this country are in their predicaments because of Wall Street’s recklessness? It’s pretty hard to pick yourself up when compounding debts keep crushing your ability to be solvent.

Wages have been stagnant for decades while basic costs keep inflating. Labor and industry are financially sucked dry because of this high-cost and indebted society we live in. Since 2008, the majority of economic “growth” has consisted of credit card and banking carrying charges and inflated asset prices, not industrial capital formation.

The parasites that are halting our productive powers from creating a more harmonious and equitable society are market institutions in plain sight. This should reveal the true parasite that’s infected and perverted our nation’s chain of thought, a parasite that claims to be essential but is in fact draining the host: It’s the finance, insurance, and real estate sector.

Help provide stability over the holidays

Thanksgiving is all about coming together as a family and enjoying and treasuring each other’s company. Please think for a moment about what that means if you’re a child placed in foster care, living apart from your family, friends, and unsure of what the future holds.

Holidays can be a challenging time for foster youth as they may miss their biological family and as they experience all the confusing feelings that go along with celebrating with a “temporary” family with unfamiliar traditions and foods.

At CASA of SLO County we believe that all children deserve a positive, long-term connection with a supportive adult— especially those youth placed in foster care.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (or CASAs), help children navigate life in the foster care system. CASAs get to know the child, often becoming the only consistent adult presence in their life.

More than mentors, they provide vital information to the court to facilitate better-informed decisions on behalf of a child. I am so thankful for all the wonderful CASA volunteers in SLO County (145 of them today).

Each of us has the power to improve a child’s life, restore their trust, and form meaningful connections. Become a CASA volunteer. Visit slocasa.org for more information.

Please define your terms

Can the Democratic-Socialists, old-fashioned Socialists, Progressive Democrats, Progressives, DNC, and Communists please provide me with their definition of “income inequality”?

If someone has the U.S. government’s definition of “income inequality,” I would like to see that too.

Oh, you mean these words are just “talking points”?

The utopia of having “income equality” for the roughly 8 billion people on this planet is totally unattainable and rightfully so! When individual drive, desire to succeed, and creativity is not rewarded but instead complacency is, civilization will fail.

hen recognizing a problem, and proposing a solution to it, the liberal tends to focus on the human needs represented by the problem, while the conservative tends to focus on the pragmatic concerns in implementing a solution. The operation of these contrasting perspectives is on display in a sad drama currently being played out locally.

I am referring to the drama at the Grand View Apartments in Paso Robles, with the pending eviction of the low-income tenants of the housing development. To summarize, the complex consists of 54 units of low-cost housing in allegedly squalid condition. The tenants successfully sued to compel the owners, the Madadis, to make repairs. The owners, protesting that the $2.5 million repair costs ordered are unaffordable, have decided to instead leave the rental business, and they’re evicting the tenants. The tenants, who had been paying a reported average of $1,500 per month rent, are reportedly having great difficulty in finding new housing in this area at a comparable rent. All in all, it sounds like a lose-lose situation all around.

A disclaimer: My knowledge of this situation is limited to what I have read in this paper and have seen on TV. I have never spoken with anyone involved, neither have I even seen the complex. But since the dynamic of this situation is far from unique, I will comment on it.

Some observations: I am guessing that the reason that the rents were so low in the first place was because the place was such a dump and that the tenants were unable to find a nicer place at that price. This place, as awful as it may be, was providing a home for those who are reportedly too poor to find another place they can afford. And in trying to force the improvement of the conditions, the tenants have ended up on the street, surely not their intended outcome.

Now, landlords are under a legal obligation to keep their properties in an inhabitable condition. This costs money, and sometimes BIG money. While I have no idea what the overhead at the Grand View Apartments is, the owners obviously feel that the $2.5 million repair costs eliminate the financial viability of their enterprise, and they have chosen to abandon it.

Despite the new fashionability of redistributionist economics, a landlord is entitled to attempt to make a profit on an investment, and failing that, has an absolute legal right to go out of business, even if others have grown fond of their money-losing endeavor. An undertaking that serves others, and does not attempt to generate a profit, is called a “charity.”

The repairs ordered totally change the owners’ financial calculus of the apartments. At the reported average rent per unit of $1,500 per month, it would take more than 2 1/2 years of using all of the rent to pay only the costs of the necessary repairs, leaving nothing for all the other expenses of the complex, like the existing mortgage, taxes, insurance, employee salaries, professional fees, etc.

And since few of us have $2.5 million just lying around, it probably would be

18 • New Times • November 21 - November 28, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

necessary to borrow the money. At an interest rate of 6 percent, for a 15-year term, this would result in an additional monthly payment of $21,096, or an extra $390 of expense per unit on top of the current overhead, just to pay for the repairs. Ouch!

Not surprisingly, some commenters are outraged that the owners are not being forced to make the repairs and keep the tenants in their homes at the same low rents. There is criticism of the judge for not somehow forcing them to stay in business.

But landlords function under some pretty unforgiving financial realities themselves.

They need to receive enough rent to cover their overhead, including rent losses from the occasional deadbeat tenant and vacancy. None of the landlords’ creditors are likely to give them a break just because their rents fall short. The business world is littered with the “formerly rich” whose businesses have failed.

Many find it easy and satisfying to volunteer others to make a sacrifice, a sort of “vicarious generosity.” Here, the idea is that the Madadis should be made to support their tenants, since they’re rich and the tenants’ financial condition is so dire. This is the sort of generosity often favored by politicians

using taxpayers’ money. And the “rich” are always a satisfying target, as we envy and resent their wealth, unless, of course, they happen to be our favorite celebrities and sports stars.

It is unfortunate that math has been de-emphasized in school, because under the “magical thinking” of liberals, “the rich” are assumed to have inexhaustible fortunes, and little thought is given to their actual ability to sustain losses.

The ugly reality is that shabby housing like the Grand View Apartments provides a necessary service in offering those on the lowest rungs of the economic ladder a place to live, which they would not otherwise have. While the law imposes an obligation on owners to only rent habitable housing, it doesn’t provide a way to pay for it.

The tenants successfully enforced their legal rights to decent conditions, and they won a Pyrrhic victory. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney who lives in Pismo Beach, and who, upon reading the news every morning, is unable to keep himself from ranting and sputtering indignantly.

The Shredder

So freakin’ cute!

Y

ou know what’s cute? Well, other than my big, shiny derrier and the clickity-clack of my little keys.

The new name of the state agency in charge of regulating mineral extraction. It used to be the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources—DOGGR for short—which is also cute, but a little too accurate, since the agency’s been in the doghouse since 2013 for cow-towing to the oil and gas industry rather than protecting the state from those who profit from sucking up all of its precious resources!

Now, thanks to legislation from Assemblymember Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara), we can now call that state agency CalGEM (Geologic Energy Management Division)!

Get it?? Gem. It’s so freaking cute I just want to die!

Well, actually, we can’t officially call it that until Jan. 1, 2020. But Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration is already calling it CalGEM. Because it’s so goddamn cute. OK? The administration lauded the name change in a Nov. 19 press release from the California Department of Conservation in which he also lauded Limón’s bill. Assembly Bill 1057 also “strengthened” CalGEM’s mission “to protect public health and safety while safegaurding the environment.”

This adorable little press release also leaned on the bill as the reason for the really big announcement of the day, which

was a temporary moratorium on new permits for “high pressure extraction practice” for oil wells. Whatever the hell that means.

New Times couldn’t really get a direct answer from anybody, because everyone was trying to figure out what the hell that means, too.

Hydraulic fracturing? Definitely. Cyclic steam injection? Yes, we think? Well, the Western States Petroleum Association, said that it was only high pressure steam injection—but not low pressure steam injection. But, they’re still trying to figure out what the hell the difference is.

Press releases! Amirite? Sheesh. They only tell you what the messenger thinks you ought to know. Think about that, my avid @ realDonaldTrump Twitter followers.

A spokesperson from the Department of Conservation simply said that about 5 percent of the barrels of oil produced in California come from the kind of highpressure cyclic steaming that will be impacted by this moratorium. Thanks for clearing that right up. The California Independent Petroleum Association seemed pretty certain that this little news tidbit won’t affect the Arroyo Grande Oil Field. Sorry to burst your bubbles out there, all of you Sentinel Peak Resource haters! My condolences.

Meanwhile, Limón’s bill didn’t call for any moratoriums, but Newsom’s extrapolating, ya know? Leaning on that

good ol’ executive power as any ol’ California governor or, cough, cough, President of the United States is wont to do.

Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) decried Newsom’s move as “executive overreach.”

State Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) told New Times the governor was well within his power.

So, what if it was a Republican governor who used executive power to completely deregulate the oil industry? Would those statements be switched around?

Everything is so freaking political! God. There’s nothing delightful about that.

There’s also nothing delightful about what’s going on in Paso Robles. It seems like nobody gives a crap about all of these tenants who are about to get kicked out of the Grand View Apartments. You know what those good-for-nothing owners did this time? The city ordered them to fumigate the property and all of the tenant’s belongings by Nov. 4.

Yeah, you guessed it. They didn’t do it.

Now, they’re promising to get it all wrapped up by Dec. 9. But guess what?

Some of the tenants will already have been evicted by then. And, according to the tenants’ attorney, potential landlords are refusing to rent to former tenants if they bring furniture they had in their apartments at Grand View! Because of all of the pests they could bring with them.

Because of the squalor that they’ve been

forced to live in at Grand View. How’s that for a kick while you’re down?

Geez. These people can’t catch a break.

But you know who can catch a break.

California State Parks. Every freakin’ time they don’t hit a deadline for the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, the regulatory agency kind of looks at them dead in the eyes and says: “Don’t let this happen again!” And then, it inevitably happens again. Why wouldn’t it? They’ve got a streak decades long! Why would that change now?

The U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife has been waiting on a habitat conservation plan for years and years to save the snowy plovers. The California Coastal Commission has been hassling State Parks to fix all of its dainty little (OK, giant) permit compliance issues for years.

But you know who’s sick of this crap?

The SLO County Air Pollution Control Board (APCD). After a public workshop was canceled because State Parks missed yet another deadline—well, technically, State Parks did submit the dust mitigation work plan it was supposed to, twice (one missed the deadline), but APCD Officer Gary Willey called them “grossly inadequate.”

Ooh. Sick burn, Gary!

Now the APCD’ is ordering State Parks to close off 48 more acres to off-roading among other things, which is cute, considering that the park is thought to be polluting all of the land around it.

BY GLEN STARKEY

The Wordsmith John Craigie brings his masterful lyrics to the CPAC at Cuesta College

J

ohn Craigie has been compared to everyone from John Prine to Bob Dylan. He embodies the classic singer-songwriter ethos—a desire to connect to his listeners and dissolve the wall between performer and audience. If you happened to catch him last summer at the Live Oak Music Festival at El Chorro Regional Park, you know just how good he can be, and this Saturday, Nov. 23, he’s playing across the highway from Live Oak at the CPAC at Cuesta College with special guest Shook Twins (7 p.m.; all ages; $21 presale at eventbrite.com or $25 at the door). For every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to Planting Justice, “a grassroots organization with a mission to empower people impacted by mass incarceration and other social inequities with the skills and resources to cultivate food sovereignty, economic justice, and community healing.”

Yes, Craigie’s one of the socially conscious performers who actually believe music can soothe … maybe not heal, but make you feel more whole. His fifth fulllength album, No Rain, No Rose, is filled with songs about broken people picking up the pieces. On “Broken,” he sings, “Well your mama knows and she sends off a prayer to Jesus/ Yeah your mama knows and she sends off a prayer to Jesus// And the pretty women know, but they don’t wanna pick up the pieces/ When you’re broken, when you’re broken.”

But for every “Broken,” there’s the healing power of “Rough Johns”: “Take me to your heaven don’t you leave me this way/ I’ve been mumbling like a fool I don’t know what to say/ I go on and on, I go on and on/ I’ve been kissing your lips, I’ve been kissing your eyes/ I’ve been licking your scars, honey I don’t mind/ You’ve had some rough johns, you’ve had some rough johns.”

There are songs like “Live With Less” about the freeing feeling of shedding the unnecessary, songs like “All the Salt” about the need for change, and then you’ve got straight-up funny songs about the travails of the troubadour lifestyle, like “Bucket List Grandmas”: “Y’all got your groupies they hang and they linger/ I’ve got bucket list grandmas and young male folk singers/ They’re asking me questions trying to get some gigs/ I say, don’t be in such a hurry to lose everything/ Cause I binged last night and I’m starving today/ In this goddamned job there ain’t no consistency.”

His most recent album also boasted two collaborations with Gregory Alan Isakov—“Highway Blood” and “I Am California”—which both scored a million Spotify streams and counting. He’s definitely on a roll!

Likewise, Shook Twins are on the rise.

Their fourth full-length, Some Good Lives, finds the identical twin sisters— Katelyn Shook [vocals, guitar] and Laurie Shook [banjo, vocals]—paying homage to everyone from a late grandpa and godfather to Bernie Sanders.

“We realized there was a theme,” CRAGGY SOUNDS Singer-songwriter John Craigie Katelyn explained in press materials. plays the CPAC at Cuesta College on Nov. 23.

“Even though our minds PHOTO COURTESY OF TRIBAL SEEDS are mostly on the women of today and wanting the monarchy to rise up, we have several men in our lives who have been such positive forces. We wanted to thank them and honor the good guys who showed us the beauty in this crazy world we live in. So, it’s an album for some good lives that have crossed paths with ours—and to them, we are grateful.”

Laurie agreed: “It’s also an acknowledgment of our WATCH THEM GROW San Diego rock-reggae act Tribal Seeds thankfulness of the good returns to the Central Coast with a show at the Fremont Theater on life that we get to live.”

According to the Seeds’ bio, they’re “more influenced by bands like Steel Pulse and Aswad than the common touchstone of Sublime.”

Formed in 2005, they’re becoming touring favorites on the Central Coast, and they’re well respected in their hometown too. In March 2017, Tribal Seeds won the San Diego Music Award for Artist of the Year.

EMPLOYMENT

EATS WRITER

Join Our Team!

The Sun is looking for its next EATS writer, but we’re not looking for just any articlepushing, press release-reading, food-eating, wine-drinking someone.

We’re looking for that certain someone who can see the nuances that make a chef, farmer, or winemaker special—a writer who can tease the most out of an interview, a bite of food, or a sip of liquid.

Someone who not only knows food, but cares about the people making it and where they came from.

EATS is about more than food and drink.

It’s about understanding the work that goes into producing and participating in the chain that leads to your table and into your mouth—and being able to put that on paper in a way that’s meaningful to our readers.

This is a freelance position with weekly deadlines. Think you have what it takes?

Prove it. Journalism experience is a requirement.

Send a résumé, cover letter, and story samples to Editor Camillia Lanham at clanham@santamariasun.com.

he paintings in Adam Wolpert’s San Luis Obispo Museum of Art exhibit have all the facets of good portraiture. Highly detailed and perfectly angled, they capture the spirit of the subject.

His portrait subject, however, is not a human; it’s the grand, majestic oak tree.

Having done both human portraiture and nature landscape painting throughout his artistic career, Wolpert said that his exhibit, Great Oaks, is almost a cross between the two: looking at a singular piece of nature with the same sustained interest that a portrait painter would give their human subject.

“I feel like in this day and age, humans are far too anthropocentric, the way we are always focusing on ourselves,” Wolpert told New Times. “I think I’m A GREAT OAK Blooming Apples is painted on a 4- by 5-foot canvas and is among Wolpert’s collection at more interested in doing a portrait of an the SLO Museum of Art. oak tree than a person.”

The interpersonal dynamics make for great drama. The film’s heart and soul are Miles’ relationships with his wife, Mollie Glen What an amazing story! Even if (Caitriona Balfe), and his young son, you’re not a motorhead, you’ll find this Peter (Noah Jupe).

other. Shelby can’t race anymore—his heart won’t take it, and Miles can’t pay bills with trophies. They both hate that they need each other, but they do. I knew nothing about this story going into the film, and it’s safe to say I was missing out on an amazing piece of history!

This is triumphant and heartbreaking, sentimental without treacle, and just a great slice of American pie.

Glen American pride is certainly part of what’s driving Shelby and Ford—they’re both tired of Ferrari dominating racing.

Miles is a British transplant to the U.S., so he’s in it for personal glory and the thrill of the race. I don’t know enough about the history to know where it was embellished for dramatic purposes, and I’m not sure I want to know. This is such pure filmmaking, just good old-fashioned Hollywood studio system storytelling, where it’s plot and character driven; the truth be damned. The race sequences are exciting as hell. You really get a feel for what a grueling feat it is to race for 24-hours, even as part of a team. As much as it’s a story of Shelby, I think it’s mostly Miles’ story. He’s the one we get to see interacting with his family, and he’s the one taking all the risk, putting his life on the line to win. This film clearly shows how racing is a sport—these drivers need to be fit, have endurance, and be incredibly focused. They’re operating a machine that can break, overheat, or fall apart, so the drivers have to know when

Banks is up to the task and delivers an earnest and upbeat new installation with three winning leads who are giving it their all. The film clearly has respect for its source material but stops short of retrograde homage, instead injecting some freshness into the characters, who are a lot of fun, especially Stewart’s Sabina. It also adds some feminist elements that help

it transcend its “jiggle TV” origins, and as a simple action film, it does the job.

Anna Those race sequences are amazing!

My palms were sweaty, and my heart was thumping—it was just truly a film you don’t want to take your eyes off of. Hit the bathroom before you go into the theater— it’s 2 1/2 hours long, and you won’t want to miss any of it! Beyond the characters of Shelby and Miles, the supporting cast was also fantastic. I wanted to punch Leo Beebe so many times; he’s truly a great villain here. Miles isn’t “brand friendly” to Ford, who makes cars for the good old American Joe, not wild card British mechanics with a temper. Ford II is powerful and impatient, always chasing the grandiosity of his namesake. Mollie and Peter are supportive but cautious— Miles’ chosen work skates on the brink of life and death, and unseen variables may determine his fate despite his skill.

This movie is intense while funny, sweet yet also sad. Like you said, this is what filmmaking is supposed to be, and Ford v Ferrari hit it out of the park for me. Make sure you see this one on the big screen; it’s beautifully shot and directed. Δ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

NATHAN FOR YOU When? 2013-2017 What’s it rated? TV-14 Where? Amazon Prime, Comedy Central, Hulu

H

alfway through the first episode of Nathan For You, my girlfriend stood up and walked away, pissed off at what we were watching. The show is clearly not for everybody, and there were times I felt guilty about how much enjoyment I found in a show that could easily be perceived as manipulative and mean-spirited. But among the hilarity and the guilt, the show captured genuine heartfelt moments about the nature of human companionship that you rarely see on TV, let alone on Comedy Central.

In Nathan For You, comedian Nathan Fielder plays a fictionalized version of himself, who travels to small businesses in Southern California and offers truly terrible and borderline illegal advice on how to boost their profits. Armed with a degree from one of the top business schools in Canada— which Nathan likes to remind viewers of in a voiceover at the beginning of each episode— he designs ridiculous schemes and somehow convinces business owners to follow along.

The series’ first episode starts off with a relatively tame idea. Nathan convinces the owner of a frozen yogurt shop to sell a poop-flavored yogurt as a public relations stunt, which is gross and weird, but not the

most controversial idea. In the same episode, Nathan visits a pizza shop with an idea for a promotion where customers receive one free pizza if their order isn’t delivered within eight minutes. The only catch: The free pizza is small, like 1 inch small.

When the poor kid delivering the pizzas shows customers their bite-size prize, they aren’t amused. One customer basically threatens to physically harm the kid delivering the pizza—it was at this time that my girlfriend stormed away. It’s one thing for the pizza shop owner to look foolish agreeing to this plan, but another thing to subject this kid, who probably is making minimum wage, to deal with its effects.

It’s these sorts of moments that made me uncomfortable watching the show, especially because it’s unclear how much the people involved know about what’s going on. Nathan approaches owners under the guise of a professional business consultant and not the host of a show, although they must know something’s awry when Nathan starts laying out his absurd ideas.

While his marketing proposals are ridiculous and silly, that’s not what generates the show’s humor. The best parts of the show focus on Nathan’s intense social awkwardness while trying to find human companionship and his complete lack of selfawareness when he fails. One of the many long-running arcs in the show is Nathan asking if business owners want to hang out sometime and the inevitable rejection he receives almost every time.

But there are instances where he does find the connection he’s constantly seeking, and it can be incredibly moving. One scheme involving a rebate for cheap gas ends with Nathan hiking to the top of a mountain where

he camps out for a night with three total strangers.

Jarringly, the episode ends with the gas station owner awkwardly talking to Nathan about the benefits of drinking urine, as if reminding the viewers, this is Comedy Central after all. (Four seasons, 30 min. episodes) Δ —Zac Ezzone PHOTO COURTESY COMEDY CENTRAL

HE SUSPECTS FOUL PLAY Daniel Craig stars as detective Benoit Blanc, who’s brought in to investigate the death of the patriarch of a family of eccentrics, in Knives Out, screening Nov. 22 to 23 at Downtown Centre and everywhere starting Nov. 26.

MOVIES from page 41 a second; her portrayal of the character, down to the deep villainous voice she uses, is amazing. She was ruling the screen, and the other characters were peasants in comparison. (118 min.)

MIDWAY

What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Independence Day, The Patriot, White House Down) directs this historical action-drama about World War II’s Battle of Midway, told by those who fought it: Lt. Richard “Dick” Best (Ed Skrein), Edwin Layton (Patrick Wilson), Lt. Cmdr. Wade McClusky (Luke Evans), Adm. Chester Nimitz (Woody Harrelson), and Vice Adm. William “Bull” Halsey (Dennis Quaid). This pivotal June 4 through 7, 1942, battle between the American fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy was the Pacific Theater’s turning point.

Audiences are loving this film that presents the epic battle with modern special effects and a more balanced viewpoint than the 1976 film, but critics have labeled it loud and unemotional.

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm South Korean director Bong Joon Ho plays with genre and societal commentary in this dark comedy thriller about a penniless family’s unsavory but satisfying infiltration into a wealthy family’s household.

We’re all capable of being both the heroes and antagonists of our own stories from time to time—able to make healthy and rational decisions in some situations while at the same time perfectly adept at self-destruction in others. And in one way or another, we’re all parasites too. That’s the running theme in Parasite, the most recent foreign-language film brought to us

Pick

by director Bong Joon Ho (Snowpiercer, The Host), which centers on Ki-taek Kim (Song Kang Ho) and his destitute family’s scrappy struggle for easy money.

The Kims, a technically unemployed family of four, are living in a tiny semibasement apartment when we first meet them. It’s cramped, dirty, dingy, infested with stink bugs, and worst of all, it lacks Wi-Fi. But things slowly start to turn around for the Kims when the son, Ki-woo (Choi Woo-sik), lands a high-paying job tutoring the daughter of an extremely wealthy businessman, Dong-ik Park. In the Parks’ household, everything is completely opposite from the Kims’: spacious, sparkling clean, and modern.

It quickly becomes clear, however, that exceeding wealth has made the Park family inept at most average daily tasks and thus totally reliant upon the help for meals, housework, and transportation.

In that way, the Parks are parasitic, and they’re gullible, too. They’re easily fooled when, one by one, members of the Kim family manage to push out longtime employees of the Park household and fill their vacated places, pretending to be more than qualified hires.

The scheme eventually goes horribly wrong for the Kims when a leech of another kind is uncovered. It’s a violent ending both families face that feels, on one hand, tragic, and on the other, well deserved.

The Kims, though facing certain hardships that come with the cycle of poverty, are never portrayed as needing much sympathy. They face their situation with humor, and although it’s satisfying to see them take advantage of the ultra-rich using nothing more than condescending wit, it’s clear that they’re experienced manipulators. They’re confident con artists, and you never really feel bad for the Kims.

The Parks have their own less than desirable qualities as well—a drug addiction and an obvious hostility toward lower-income individuals, to name a few—which slowly trickle out behind closed doors. But, in general, they’re nice.

They’re well-mannered, they pay their employees well, and you don’t really want to see them scammed.

It’s these complexities behind the Park and Kim families and the characters within

them make navigating Parasite almost as difficult as real life. Who is the good guy when everyone makes mistakes? Who is the bad guy when everyone has redeeming qualities? Who is the parasite when everyone is feeding off of each other, when everyone is using someone to gain something and giving nothing in return?

You can never really be sure who to root for or who to trust, and that quality of reality is what makes Parasite so very unsettling. (132 min.)

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Park, Stadium 10 Tim Miller (Deadpool) directs this next installment into the Terminator franchise. This time around, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and a “retired” T-800 Terminator going by the name Carl (Arnold Schwarzenegger) join forces with enhanced soldier, Grace (Mackenzie Davis), who’s been sent from the future to protect Daniella “Dani” Ramos (Natalia Reyes), who, if she lives, will give birth to a Resistance leader who will stop an A.I. called Legion, who, like Skynet, hopes to destroy humankind. They’re being pursued

by Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna), an advanced Terminator that’s able to split in two.

If it all sounds a little familiar, it’s because it is, but it’s also nice to see Hamilton and Schwarzenegger from the original 1984 film and the equally good sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) back together again. Yes, it’s essentially the same plot about time travelers battling to either kill or save a future mother who will give birth to the leader who will save humanity, but it’s a lot better than, say, Terminator Salvation (2009) and Terminator Genisys (2015).

Tripling down on the original, the film features not one but three strong female characters, who bring a lot of power to the story. It doesn’t really surpass the first two films, but it definitely resets a franchise deeply in need of being reset.

Wine

TANNIN, ACIDITY, SWEETNESS About 100 people attended Melanie Webber’s “How to Taste Wine Like a Pro” Garagiste wine seminar to experience a deeper understanding of the nuances of wine.

Garagiste is turning 10

The Garagiste Wine Festival is a nonprofit dedicated to furthering the education of future winemakers and those training for employment within the wine industry. Approaching almost a decade, the small winery festival has become a launching pad for wineries and winemakers. The festival donates proceeds from all the festivals and silent auctions to the Cal Poly Wine and Viticulture Program. Learn about the next festivals—Feb. 15 in Sonoma and April 17 in Solvang— at garagistefestival.com. Visit them on Facebook and Twitter.

WSET Level One, Two, and Three will be offered by The Wine House WSET at Broken Earth Winery in Paso Robles in 2020. To register, go to winehouse.com/class-type/wset or brokenearthwinery.com/News--Events/Events.

No snobs allowed The Garagiste Wine Festival gives sippers the chance to take in fine, small-batch wines without the pomp

Y

ves Simoneau attended The Garagiste Wine Festival in Paso Robles with a planned itinerary, but he took a “delinquent” turn down a row of intriguing mystery vines and fresh new labels. He was pleasantly surprised by the wines of Hayseed and Housdon, from winemaker Enrique Torres, who also makes Enrique Torres Wines and the handcrafted Diablo Paso Spanish varieties.

“I have delectable regrets,” Simoneau said of the diversion.

But, it was worth it.

Raised in Guerrero, Mexico, Torres met his future wife, Nora, from Brooklyn, when she came to Guerrero to study Spanish.

After relocating to Paso decades ago, Torres began at the former Martin and Weyrich Winery as a cellar rat, moving up the ranks to cellar master, and then assistant winemaker, benefiting from the mentorship of winemaker Alan Kinne.

These are the types of stories behind the winemakers at Garagiste. These are small, under-the-radar, smooth operators, who spend the majority of their time in the winery and vineyard rather than marketing, schmoozing, and hiring wine reps and distributors to get their bottles in supermarkets.

About 14 or so of the wineries that introduced their first vintages at the now annual festival currently have tasting rooms in Tin City. The majority of the winemakers are based on the Central Coast and span from Mendocino to Malibu. Each is a small-production, artisan winemaker that produces less than 1,500 cases a year.

The nomad winemakers of the Garagiste Festival are among the brightest up-and-coming talents.

These garagistes (translation from French: small-scale entrepreneurial winemakers) are the sons and daughters

of winemaking families. They are engineers, rocket scientists, teachers, physicians, and pomegranate farmers who started making wine in their garages or basements. And the winemakers personally filled each glass at the Nov. 9 Garagiste Festival in the Paso Robles Event Center.

About 70 small-batch wineries were curated for the event, which apparently is a new record. The vibe at the fest was laid-back and casual because “no snobs allowed” is the Garagiste Festival ethos.

It’s one big, loving shindig. Nobody’s acting snooty. Everyone just loves the flavor and nuance of wine, be it red, white, or sparkling.

“One of the things that’s unique about the Garagiste Festival is that most other events are varietally focused—

like the World of Pinot Noir or Rhone Rangers or the Cab Collective—or they’re geographically focused,” said Doug Minnick, who co-founded the Garagiste Festival with Stewart McLennan.

“Because of our focus on the small wineries, what we end up with, as a result, is this incredibly wide range of varieties and styles.”

The idea of gathering some of their favorite micro-wineries under one roof came about in 2010. No big shots. Garagiste also takes wine education quite seriously, and it became a nonprofit festival with an aim to support the education of small and emerging winemakers through the Garagiste Festival scholarship program benefiting the Cal Poly Wine and Viticulture Program.

There have been 25 Garagiste Festivals since then, with four per year in the state.

Minnick, who put in many years in the music biz, is the one of the three guys behind Hoi Polloi Winery, with wines made from Paso and Santa Barbara fruit. McLennan and a partner make the local Lefondusac

wines we can now taste in Tin City (with his boutique projects: Golden Triangle and JPIII Wines available as well).

Lisa Dinsmore and Melanie Webber carry out the behind-the-scenes tasks and publicity. Webber, who owns a PR firm in Los Angeles, is very passionate about teaching others (not just the privileged).

She holds a French Society French Wine Scholar certification in addition to a WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) diploma in wine and spirits, and teaches four levels of WSET classes through the Paso Wine House WSET Satellite program. This year Paso Garagiste-goers were able to attend an hour-and-a-half long seminar designed for beginners and wine geeks created by Webber.

Webber said that nobody’s tasting notes are better than another’s. Everyone has a good palate, she said, and their opinions about wine are based on personal experience. We all just need to train our palate to learn the core wine principles in the glass, to be able to assess wine quality apart from our personal likes and dislikes, and to be able to clearly recognize and put into context the important components of any wine.

“And the more you know about wine, then the more there is to know about wine,” she said with a laugh.

Sonoma’s Garagiste Festival is coming up next, on Feb. 15, and Solvang’s will follow on April 17 and 18.

VARIETY IS IN Garagiste wine educator Melanie Webber sees trends in wine moving more toward experimentation with grape varieties. She has been with the Garagiste Festival from the beginning and wants people to drink what they enjoy. “Whatever floats your boat,” she says.

D INE ’N’ DISH Deno 2017 Arneis

The Deno label caught my eye at the Garagiste Festival in Paso Robles in early November. A bright splatter of red on white summoned my friend and I from between all of the colorful booths. Owner and Templeton local Dennis Sharpe, a very warm gentleman who recently retired to focus on his wine and who planted his estate vineyard in the early ’90s, poured us his 2017 Deno arneis, an Italian white variety that’s exciting to find, even for the most seasoned wine connoisseurs. Arneis originated from Piedmont, but this particular wine’s grapes are from the El Pomar District in Paso. It literally translates to “little rascal,” because it can be somewhat difficult to grow. In fact, Doug Minnick, co-founder of the Garagiste Festival said he tried his very first arneis at this year’s fest! The small batch of 115 cases is a treat with pear and apricot notes, and I was happy to hear Deno (Dennis’ nickname) is now pouring his crisp, floral, full-bodied arneis at Nature’s Touch. Deno Winemaker Eric Ogarsolka (Zenaida Cellars) also makes a Paso Rouge GSM and grenache from the Alto Pomar Vineyard, among their many beautiful Rhones. It’s phenomenal wine from just the most down-to-earth people.

Learn more about Deno Wines at denowine.com. To taste the Deno arneis ($24 per bottle), and other delicious wines (such as their Rojo 49), visit Nature’s Touch, 225 South Main St., Templeton.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Possible definition of happiness: the state that results from cultivating interesting, useful problems. What’s your definition? Freewillastrology.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Beware of what disturbs the heart,” said Ibn Mas’ud, a companion of the prophet Mohammed.

“If something unsettles your heart, then abandon it.” My wise Aries friend Artemisia has a different perspective. She advises, “Pay close attention to what disturbs the heart.

Whatever has the power to unsettle your heart will show you a key lesson you must learn, a crucial task you’d be smart to undertake.” Here’s my synthesis of Ibn Mas’ud and Artemisia: Do your very best to fix the problem revealed by your unsettled heart. Learn all you can in the process. Then, even if the fix isn’t totally perfect, move on. Graduate from the problem for good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus social critic Bertrand Russell won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950. He’s regarded as the founder of analytic philosophy and one of the 20th century’s premier intellectuals. But he went through a rough patch in 1940. He was adjudged “morally unfit” to accept his appointment as a professor at the City College of New York.

The lawsuit that banned him from the job described him as being “libidinous, lustful, aphrodisiac, and irreverent.” Why? Simply because of his liberated opinions about sexuality, which he had conscientiously articulated in his book Marriage and Morals. In our modern era, we’re more likely to welcome libidinous, lustful, aphrodisiac, and irreverent ideas if they’re expressed respectfully, as Russell did. With that as a subtext, I invite you to update and deepen your relationship with your own sexuality in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In her poem “What the Light Teaches,” Anne Michaels describes herself arriving at a lover’s house soaked with rain, “dripping with new memory.” She’s ready for “one past to grow out of another.” In other words, she’s eager to leave behind the story that she and her lover have lived together up until now—and begin a new story.

A similar blessing will be available for you in the coming weeks, Gemini: a chance for you and an intimate partner or close ally to launch a new chapter of your history together.

(June 21-July 22): Some scientists deride astrology despite being ignorant about it. For example, they complain, “The miniscule gravitational forces beaming from the planets can’t possibly have any effect on our personal lives.” But the truth is that most astrologers don’t believe the planets exert influence on us with gravity or any other invisible force.

Instead, we analyze planetary movements as evidence of a hidden order in the universe. It’s comparable to the way weather forecasters use a barometer to read atmospheric pressure but know that barometers don’t cause changes in atmospheric pressure. I hope this inspires you, Cancerian, as you develop constructive critiques of situations in your own sphere. Don’t rely on naive assumption and unwarranted biases. Make sure you have the correct facts before you proceed. If you do, you could generate remarkable transformations in the coming weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As you glide into the Season of Love, I’d love you to soak up wise counsel from the author bell hooks.

(She doesn’t capitalize her name.) “Many people want love to function like a drug, giving them an immediate and sustained high,” she cautions. “They want to do nothing, just passively receive the good feeling.” I trust you won’t do that, Leo. Here’s more from hooks: “Dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love—which is to transform us.” Are you ready to be transformed by love, Leo?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Burrow down as deep as you dare, Virgo.

Give yourself pep talks as you descend toward the gritty core of every matter. Feel your way into the underground, where the roots meet the foundations. It’s time for you to explore the

New Times • 1010 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 805.546.8208 • Fax: 805.546.8641 • www.NewTimesSLO.com

mysteries that are usually beneath your conscious awareness.

You have a mandate to reacquaint yourself with where you came from and how you got to where you are now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s natural and healthy to feel both the longing to connect and the longing to be independent. Each of those urges deserves an honored place in your heart. But you may sometimes experience them as being contradictory; their opposing pulls may rouse tension. I bring this to your attention because I suspect that the coming weeks will be a test of your ability to not just abide in this tension, but to learn from and thrive on it. For inspiration, read these words

by Jeanette Winterson. “What should I do about the wild heart that wants to be free and the tame heart that wants to come home? I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at night. I don’t want to tell you where I am. I want to be with you.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Louvre Museum in Paris displays 38,000 objects throughout its 18 acres of floor space. Among its most treasured 13th-century artworks is The Madonna and Child in Majesty Surrounded by Angels, a huge painting

by Italian painter Cimabue. When a museum representative first acquired it in the 19th century, its price was five francs, or less than a dollar. I urge you to be on the lookout for bargains like that in the coming weeks. Something that could be valuable in the future may be undervalued now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian performance artist Marina Abramović observes that Muhammad, Buddha, Jesus, and Moses “all went to the desert as nobodies and came back as somebodies.” She herself spent a year in Australia’s Great Sandy Desert near Lake Disappointment, leading her to exclaim that the desert is “the most incredible place, because there is nothing there except yourself, and yourself is a big deal.” From what I can tell, Sagittarius, you’re just returning from your own metaphorical version of the desert, which is very good news. Welcome back! I can’t wait to see what marvels you spawn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Upcoming events may bedevil your mind.

They may mess with your certainties and agitate your selfdoubts. But if you want my view about those possibilities, they’re cause for celebration. According to my analysis of the astrological indicators, you will benefit from having your mind bedeviled and your certainties messed with and your self-doubts agitated. You may ultimately even thrive and exult and glow like a miniature sun. Why? Because you need life to gently but firmly kick your ass in just the right way so you’ll become alert to opportunities you have been ignoring or blind to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every writer I’ve ever known says that a key practice to becoming a good writer is to read a lot of books. So what are we to make of the fact that one of the 20th century’s most celebrated novelists didn’t hew to that principle? In 1936, three years before the publication of his last book, Aquarian-born James Joyce confessed that he had “not read a novel in any language for many years.” Here’s my take on the subject: More than any other sign of the zodiac, you Aquarians have the potential to succeed despite not playing by conventional rules. And I suspect your power to do that is even greater than usual these days.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it,” wrote Piscean novelist John Irving. In the coming weeks, Pisces, you will have the power to get clearer than ever before about knowing the way of life you love. As a bonus, I predict you will also have an expanded access to the courage necessary to actually live that way of life. Take full advantage! ∆
