Fired Up Lexington’s New Fire Chief is Jason G. Wells BY KRISTINA ROSEN

ason G. Wells is Lexington’s new fire chief. Chief Wells is a 25-year veteran of the Lexington Fire Department and served as Assistant Chief of Administration prior to taking on this new position. Wells replaces Chief Kristin Chilton who retired in October. Wells says, “When I was in college in the mid 1990s, I hit a point where I was frustrated and looking for direction and meaning. I found that meaning in the fire service, and it has been more rewarding than I could have ever dreamed.” Having followed his father into the Lexington Fire Department, he then spent the bulk of his career “on Engine 4, which is located on Jefferson St. That was certainly one of my most rewarding assignments. It is a very busy company in a diverse area, and it felt like a true ‘neighborhood’ fire house.” He continued to work his way up in the Division through numerous roles, he adds, “After being promoted out of that company, I

8 | Jan 2021 | acemagazinelex.com

was able to serve in a number of administrative roles prior to being named Chief.” His respect for team work is clear when he recalls a fire on Lexington’s west side. The crew forced entry, and resuscitated an individual who was able to walk out of the hospital just a few days later. What he remembers is, “I wasn’t at that fire, I actually listened to it from the kitchen of my firehouse. What makes that fire meaningful is that the crew members of that engine had both served with me for a number of years, and I hope that in some way I helped prepare them for that moment. It was at that point that I realized that my legacy, and indeed each of our legacies, is much less about what we do individually, but how we affect those around us. Not everyone knows the depth and breadth of service Lexington’s Fire Department provides. “From smoke alarm installations and child safety seat installations to our extremely successful Community Paramedicine program, there are numerous ways that we try to reach out and meet the citizens where they are. We also have a number of ways that we try to educate the public about what we do, including our Citizens Fire Academy and our Brenda Cowan camps.” As Chief Wells begins his new role, he is most

excited to be back in the stations. “I think one of the things that we have most missed out on over the last nine months or so is getting around to visit the firefighters. I am very excited to be able to get back out into the stations and visit with the men and women who are out in the streets delivering service each day.” Chief Wells takes on his new role as Lexington Fire Chief in January 2021.□

Remembering Manny Caulk BY KREMENA TODOROVA

hen Kurt Gohde and I began work on a collection of photographs to thank Fayette County Public School employees on the last day of the 2019-2020 school year, we knew we would photograph teachers, custodial staff, lunchroom folks, bus-drivers, principals: all the people who care for our kids as if they are their kids. We also really wanted to include Superintendent Manny Caulk in this series, but we didn’t know if he’d be able to make time in his busy schedule for something as non-essential as a picture.

Manny Caulk not only instantly said yes, but graciously showed up for a photograph on his day off, Memorial Day, after asking if we could photograph him and his family in front of FCPS Main Office on East Main Street, rather than outside their home. Later, he sent us his reflection on a school year that had turned out to be so different from what he and others had planned for. This is what he wrote at the end: “This ending is bittersweet. Satisfying and uplifting in a different way. I am proud of the many ways our employees have taken care of one another, our students, our families and our

community since we closed our doors on March 13. We have learned many lessons, and I believe we will emerge changed for the better. With a stronger resolve to protect the most vulnerable among us. With a greater appreciation for things we have taken for granted. And with a renewed commitment to making the most of the time we have together.” Rest in peace, Superintendent Caulk. We are so tremendously grateful for the time we had together. Kremena Todorova is an Associate Professor of English at Transylvania University, Lexington resident, and

What Lexington Needs: Opportunity

What Lexington Needs: To be there for one another

by incoming 3rd District Councilmember Hannah LeGris

by incoming 5th District Councilmember Liz Sheehan

exington is a community of amazing, resilient people and I am honored to serve as the new councilmember for the 3rd District. At this moment we remain in the midst of a crisis, one that has exposed the shortcomings of our nation and our way of life. Right now, city leaders must commit to swift action with meaningful outcomes to address inequities within our communities. The COVID-19 pandemic has tested our health and livelihoods and our sense of normalcy. It has shown the need for more comprehensive healthcare, better support for our families, the importance of local businesses and entrepreneurship. Government can no longer pretend that the issues of racial justice and equity aren’t an immediate concern; we must create policies that right the wrongs towards those who have been marginalized by discriminatory practices. Far beyond this pandemic, we must affirm our commitment to centering people as the focus of public service. Ultimately, what Lexington needs is more opportunity. More opportunity for its residents, and different opportunities than before. There are many areas where our city excels, and others where we can do better. Racial justice, climate justice, economic justice, and housing justice are not separate issues – they are part

he start of a new year offers us the opportunity for reflection over what we’ve been through individually and as a community, and it provides us the opportunity to look towards the future one year wiser. As the Councilmember for the 5th District, the needs of our community and the individuals who comprise it remain frontand-center in my mind. While attempting to briefly describe what will best serve all residents is difficult, I challenge us all to continue to do the work of showing up and being there for one another. We need to be there for those facing housing insecurity. Going into the winter months, we have many neighbors unhoused or facing eviction. Local groups working with the homeless population and those facing housing insecurity banded together knowing they could help more people if they were organized and communicating efficiently. They launched covid19renterhelp.org, which has now blossomed into the Housing Stabilization Partnership Program. Because of this effort, evictions decreased and more people were sheltered. Our housing needs persist, and we must continue to work together like this to address them. We need to be there for local businesses. Our community stepped up by shopping online, picking-up curbside, ordering

of a connected system wherein politics, the economy, and nature are intertwined. By committing ourselves to more opportunity, more accountability, more justice, and more community-oriented policy, we can build structures that protect and empower our most vulnerable and marginalized residents, thereby enriching Lexington as a whole. Furthering these goals requires creativity, community support, long- and short-term planning, and a commitment to discomfort and uncertainty during the process of shifting our norms. It requires that we change the culture of our institutions and create new standards of accountability, with the ultimate goal of making things better for a wider range of people within our city... With public support, council and the mayor can deliver real solutions for the people of Lexington. We can’t erase the hardships of the past year, but we can work hard to ensure a brighter, vibrant, more just community that recognizes its history, rights the wrongs, and plans for the future. It’s time to get to work. Hannah LeGris currently works as a career counselor at UK. The 3rd District includes much of downtown and many of the neighborhoods surrounding the University of Kentucky.

delivery, buying gift cards that can be used later, etc. In March, the Great Bagel on Boston Road was turned into a restaurant workers relief center providing food and supplies to local workers when they needed it most. Our community came together to serve our servers and other restaurant staff. We need to continue to support our local businesses, workers, and our overall economic development. We need to be there for our students and education professionals. Students experienced many changes to their learning environments and the vital support systems provided by schools. Our teachers, parents, and students pivoted to online learning. Our families worked through the challenges of online school. Our public school system partnered with local nonprofits to ensure children who relied on school for food still got fed. We need to continue to work together to safely return our students to in-person instruction... Our needs are great, but so is Lexington. We must build upon the hard work we put forth to get through all we continue to face and be there for one another. As your Councilmember, I’ll be there for you too.

“OUR NEEDS ARE GREAT. BUT SO IS LEXINGTON.” — 5TH DISTRICT COUNCILMEMBER LIZ SHEEHAN

What Lexington Needs: Vision

What Lexington Needs: Patience

by incoming 6th District Councilmember David Kloiber

by incoming 9th District Councilmember Whitney Elliott Baxter

oo often the problems that are right in front of us obstruct our view of the issues down the road. For most of us, this last year has presented an entirely foreign set of obstacles to overcome, making it a constant struggle just to get through each day, let alone trying to think about things we might face in the coming weeks. When you are unexpectedly thrust into the position of teacher’s aide, or lose the ability to work for months on end, it can be hard to do anything but apply triage to your life while waiting and praying that things will finally return to normal. This is to be expected when everything shifts as suddenly as it has, but hopefully as we turn the corner into 2021 we will find a bit of relief from the year we all just endured. However, unlike us as individuals, our city needs to be held to a higher standard. We cannot afford to take a wait-andsee approach when being tasked with making decisions that will affect the lives of everyone for many years to come. Our leadership needs to be prepared to address whatever situations the world may throw at us, while still keeping their eyes towards the bright future we all desire. It is in service to this end that we need to develop a clear vision for what we want our city to become, and march toward it even when

think we all could agree that 2020 put our patience to the test. Although there were significant struggles throughout the year, several positives revealed themselves. We have realized just how precious quality time with our families can be and discovered new ways to serve our neighbors. With ample time on our hands, we were able to assess where we stand as a society, as well as what we want our futures to look like. We have emerged as a stronger community willing to make necessary changes that will shape Lexington’s future for generations to come. As we embark on 2021, patience will be a necessity for the many changes Lexington will face. We will have to overcome the financial implications of the pandemic, continue to fight for social and racial equality, and make plans to accommodate our ever-growing city. Lexington is experiencing growing pains across the board. Not just in size, but in the way we view our city and how we treat its residents. Overall, we have a lot on our plate. It’s overwhelming to think about all the changes we face and to figure out where to begin. As we trudge through the muck of 2020, we simply need patience to move forward. All change takes patience, but how we tolerate adversity without upset will show our true colors

adversity strikes. There will certainly be bumps along the way, since it would be impossible to plan for every eventuality, but as long as we make decisions focused on the long term health and prosperity of the city, we will be better prepared at any point in time to handle them. In trying times it becomes easy to inadvertently sacrifice the opportunities of tomorrow by solely focusing on the issues of today, so as a city what we really need is to ask our leaders to keep their eyes pointed squarely towards the horizon. Hopefully in doing so, the future will turn out even better than we planned. David Kloiber is president of the Kloiber Foundation. He has helped fund projects for community improvement, most notably in areas that impact children including technology for area schools and construction of the Kloiber Pavilion at the YMCA in Hamburg.

Eat Your Greens It’s the Other Gumbo BY TOM YATES

hether prepared with or without meat or with or without roux, the unusual gumbo z’herbes is always jam-packed with a multiple variety of greens — perfect for toasting a healthy new year. Green gumbo requires a lot of greens.While purists claim it should never contain meat or roux, some versions of this deep south gumbo pack the double punch of both. Although a meat-filled version is customarily cooked, served, and eaten on Maundy Thursday during the week of Mardi Gras, it’s also served as part of many New Year’s traditions. Unlike the more familiar gumbos of the deep south, gumbo z’herbes has deep rooted traditions that involve luck and good fortune. While almost any kind of greens can be used for gumbo z’herbes, tradition holds that an odd number ( 5, 7, 9, 11) ensures good luck and that the number used reflects the number of new friends to be made during the year. Because pigs move

forward when they eat, eating pork is a lucky symbol for moving forward. Because greens are the color of money, they represent wealth and good fortune. So, whether it’s Fat Tuesday, Maundy Thursday, or any other day of the year, throw the dice, play the numbers, toss a porkfilled pot of green gumbo on the stove, and may the luck be with you. A good gumbo takes time. It begs to be slowly coaxed and courted. Good things come to those who wait. And chop.

Gumbo Z’Herbs.

I rinsed, chopped, and set aside individual bunches (about 3 1/2 pounds) of Elmwood Stock Farm black kale and beet greens, Quarles Farm mustard greens, Shelby County turnip greens, Hoot Owl Holler Farm Appalachian greasy greens, scallions, fresh spinach, watercress, collard greens, fresh parsley, and 1/2 head cabbage. With the chopping out of the way, I cooked the greens in 12 cups water for 30 minutes, drained them (reserving the cooking liquid), pureed half the greens with a hand held stick blender, tossed the pureed greens with the chopped cooked greens, and set them aside.

To roux or not to roux?

I’m all roux. Not so much for the slight thickening it provides, but more for the subtle smokey and nutty undertones it imparts. I placed a very large stock pot over a medium flame before adding 1/4 cup peanut oil, 1/4 cup bacon grease, and 1/2 cup flour. Using a wooden spoon, I carefully stirred the flour into the fats and let it slowly bind into a creamy paste. With full attention, I stirred the roux constantly until it slowly turned from blond to light brown to medium brown. Just before it went to the dark side, I added 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped red bell pepper, 1 chopped green bell pepper, and 4 chopped garlic cloves. After letting the vegetables sweat, melt, and caramelize in the roux, I added 1 quart brown

turkey stock, the reserved 12 cups greens cooking water, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, 5 sprigs fresh thyme, 4 bay leaves, and 4 heaping tablespoons Cajun seasoning (2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 1/2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoons black pepper, 1 teaspoon onions powder, 1 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper). I brought the liquid to a boil, added 2 pounds smoked ham hocks, reduced the liquid to a simmer, partially covered the stock pot, and let it gently ripple for 2 1/2 hours, skimming the scum from the surface every 1/2 hour or so. At the 2 hour mark, I scooped the hocks from the gumbo, pulled the meat from the bones, added it back into the pot, and tumbled 2 pounds pan-seared pork sausage (in lieu of andouille sausage) into the gumbo. After 30 minutes, I pulled the gumbo from the heat, spooned it over white rice, and dusted it with file powder (ground sassafras) before finishing with sliced scallions, blanched spinach leaves, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Tempered by the heat, mellowed with pork fat, and napped in nutty pot likker, the mixed greens surrendered their peppery bitter assertiveness to the long slow simmer, gently melting and swirling through the tender bits of meat. While the delicate ground sassafras (file powder) added subtle hints of woodsy root beerlike earthiness, the fresh scallions perked up the sleepy gumbo with biting wet crunch. Soulful. Soothing. Humble. Eat your greens.

ACE EATS OUT

s we kick off a fresh new year, what’s new for Lexington’s food scene? Restaurants reopened for in-person dining mid-December, but cold weather mixed with limited capacity restrictions is proving to be just as challenging in 2021 as it was in 2020. But if Kentucky’s trends toward mild winters continues, support for the struggling scene may include something as simple as: bring a sweater, and grab a seat on the deck or patio — along with ongoing carryout and delivery. (It’s much easier and less expensive for you to wear a jacket than it is for restaurant owners to foot the bill for extremely pricey tents and propane for outdoor heaters.) There’s already a lot brewing for 2021 with at least three local breweries making major announcements from expansions to production plans. Cheers to a new year as we applaud signs of new life, rejuvenation, and innovation.

BIRTHS

Manchester Coffee Co. is expanding to Lexington’s East End and opening a second location at The MET. The forthcoming location will be bigger and house the coffee shop’s roaster since retail wholesale is a major part of their operations. Louisville-based Goodwood Brewery opened at Lexington Green in the former spot of Mellow Mushroom.

OBITS

Saul Good Restaurant & Pub in downtown Lexington announced that it would be closing after eight years on the corner of North Broadway and West Short Street. The restaurant closed in March of 2019, presumably temporarily, but ultimately announced that it would permanently shut the doors in December.

VISION 2021

Lexington’s Pastry Trail is shaping up along Midland Avenue onto Winchester Road and throughout the Warehouse District. Long-time staple Spalding’s was joined by La Petite Délicat in the Warehouse Block in 2017 followed by Epping’s on the corner of Walton a couple years later. On the other end of the trail, a relocated Martine’s and Frank Donuts claimed spots on Third Street in 2019. A second DV8 Kitchen found a home on the trail in 2020, only months before Manchester Coffee announced plans to debut a new location next door, offering in-house roasted coffee to complement the popular pastry corridor come spring of 2021.

What Lexington Needs: more vegan options?

January 2021 kicks off with Lexington Vegan Week. Local favorites will offer special vegan menu items along with a few DIY demos. The Social Vegan, which is launching in March at Greyline Station, is among several of the participating restaurants and organizations.

What Lexington Needs: hand crafted artisanal hot dogs?

Boonedogs opens on Old Richmond Road in 2021, filling the niche we never knew we always wanted. The restaurant is a collaborative concept between co-owners Tim Jones and Hilary Boone; designed by Rebecca Burnworth of Burnworth Design and Eric Burnworth of Burnworth Builds; a menu developed by Wyatt Sarbacker; and an iconic interior neon sign created by Richard Garr.

Bluegrass Distillers, a craft distillery in Lexington, announced their expansion to Midway. The new location will find a home on Elkwood Farm, which is listed on the National Historic Register and built in 1835. An expanded distillery, barrel warehouses, tasting room, visitor center, and event space are in the works. The distillery is owned by Sam Rock, Nathan Brown, and Ben Franzini of Lexington. Bluegrass Distillers opened on West 6th Street in 2013, starting from scratch and mashing each ounce of grain by hand. The Distillery is community-focused and gives back through their Philanthropy Barrel Program. In 2020, the company raised and donated over $45,000 to local nonprofits through the Philanthropy Barrel Program. Brewer Dude received approval from federal, state and local agencies in December to begin beer production in their Lexington facility. Brewer Dude is growing its roots in Lexington after a 3-year period in which it became one of the top 10 online homebrew supply stores in the nation. Founder Nathan Hoskins comments, “Many of our customers are out of state and will never know the benefit of walking into our store, drinking great beer, and if the customer loves it they can buy a kit to make the exact beer at home.” The Brewer Dude store plans to have beer ready for purchase in the new year on Seventh Street in Lexington. Kentucky’s first black-owned distillery, Fresh Bourbon Kentucky, is set to break ground on a bourbon distillery near Lexington’s Distillery District in early 2021. Wm. Tarr Distillery found a home in Pepper Rickhouse of the Distillery District in 2020. The resurrected distillery began renovations and curbside pickup at its new location, but the rest of the operations including a still room, gift shop, and bar are coming soon.

Fresh Faces Artist Wylie Caudill blends art with commerce BY KEVIN NANCE

Contributing Writer entral Kentucky has become a hotbed for public art in recent years, with muralists from all over the country competing for commissions in public and commercial spaces around every corner. Now there’s a new kid in town, and his name is Wylie Caudill. Only two years into his professional career, the fresh-faced Caudill, 24, is popping up everywhere. He’s painted commissioned murals in Cynthiana, his hometown — including several at the historic Rohs Opera House and a recent one featuring Authentic, winner of this year’s Kentucky Derby — and in Lexington, where he now lives, including works at Soundbar, the Kentucky for Kentucky Fun Mall, Rise STEM Academy for Girls, and Futile Bakery. He’s also beginning to work in neighboring states including Ohio and Tennessee, where he created a large chalk mural in Nashville this fall for MTV’s earlyvoting campaign. Caudill has yet to develop a signature style; he tailors his work to the specific requirements of the commission, drawing on influences from Art Deco and traditional equine art to comic books and video games (especially Pokémon, an enduring obsession). He’s consistent in his use of big, bold colors and his emphasis on interactivity, and creating a fan base. “I always like to do projects that people want to photograph, stand next to, interact with,” he says, giving as an example a series of Instagram-ready angel’s-wings murals he created. “The wings were really popular with artists a couple of years ago when I was starting out. It was a trend I wanted to follow

and be a part of. It was kind of a ploy, really, to get my art out there.” The strategy worked, with gigs coming in at an impressive rate for a young artist. “We’re very happy with the job he did for us,” says Isaac Kurs, owner of Soundbar, where Caudill painted a mural on the bar’s patio as part of a promotion for Ketel One Vodka. “The mural is all fruits and flowers inspired by Ketel One, and it really brightened up the patio.” At the Rohs Opera House in Cynthiana, Caudill recreated historic murals on the interior and also spent two weeks repainting the theater’s Art Deco proscenium arch and significant sections of the auditorium walls. “Wylie just totally transformed that building,” part-owner Roger Slade says. “It’s beautiful work — unbelievable, really. I expect big things from him.” Caudill got his first inkling that he was destined for an artistic career in 2013 as a student at the Governor’s School for the Arts, where he studied film and photography. “That experience was really impactful because I loved being around other artists,” he recalls. “I realized I have to be creative my whole life. It put me on the path of the arts in general.” Since graduating two years ago from Eastern Kentucky University — where he studied broadcasting and drew local TV news coverage for a giant Pokémon chalk drawing on the quad — Caudill has continued to search for the sweet spot between the artistic and commercial sides of his work. “I’m always trying to find that balance,” he says. “I try to bring a level of artistry into the commercial side of it, and that’s what sustains me.”□

ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your capacity for pioneering feats and impressive accomplishments will be at a peak in 2021. So you could become the best human ever at balancing a ladder on your chin or typing with your nose or running long-distance while holding an egg on a spoon with your mouth. But I’d prefer it if you channeled your triumphal energy into more useful innovations and victories. How about making dramatic strides in fulfilling your most important goal? Or ascending to an unprecedented new level of inspiring people with your passionate idealism? Or setting a record for most illusions shed?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): From 1961 until 1989, a concrete barrier divided the city of Berlin. Communist East Berlin lay on the east side of the Berlin Wall, and capitalist West Berlin on the west. It was an iconic symbol of the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union. More than 100,000 people tried to escape from east to west, but just 5,000 succeeded. The standoff ended in 1989, during the peaceful revolutions that swept through Eastern Europe. In subsequent months, the Berlin Wall was slowly demolished. Today, tiny fragments of the wall are marketed as medicines for asthma, headaches, narcolepsy, and ulcers. Now I will propose that in 2021, you adopt the demolished Berlin Wall as your metaphor of power. May it inspire you to be gleeful and forceful as you dismantle psychological obstacles and impediments. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The year 2021 will contain 525,600 minutes. But I suspect you might enjoy the subjective sensation of having far more than 525,600 minutes at your disposal. That’s because I think you’ll be living a fuller life than usual, with greater intensity and more focus. It may sometimes seem to you as if you are drawing greater riches out of the daily rhythm— accomplishing more, seeing further, diving down deeper to capitalize on the privilege of being here on planet earth. Be grateful for this blessing— which is also a big responsibility!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Our lives are filled with puzzles and enigmas and riddles. We all harbor aspects of ourselves that we don’t understand. I hope that in 2021, you will be on a mission to learn more about these parts of yourself. One of your superpowers will be a capacity to uncover secrets and solve mysteries. Bonus: I suspect you’ll be able to make exceptional progress in getting to the root of confusing quandaries that have undermined you—and then fixing the problems so they no longer undermine you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When actor Gene Wilder was eight years old, his mother began to have heartrelated health issues. The doctor that treated her suggested he could help her out if he would try to make her laugh. From then on, Wilder cultivated an ability to tell jokes and got interested in becoming an actor. Ultimately he appeared in 22 films and was nominated for two Oscars and two Golden Globe Awards. I foresee a comparable development in your life in 2021: A challenging situation will inspire you in ways that generate a major blessing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In my astrological opinion, love won’t be predictable in 2021. It won’t be easily definable or comparable to what you’re experienced before. But I also suspect that love will be delightfully enigmatic. It will be unexpectedly educational and fervently fertile and oddly comfortable. Your assignment, as I understand it, will be to shed your certainties about what love is and is not so that the wild, fresh challenges and opportunities of love can stream into your life in their wildest, freshest state. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Until 1893, Hawaii was a sovereign nation. In January of that year, a group of wealthy foreigners, mostly Americans, overthrew the existing government with the help of the US military. They established a fake temporary “republic” that excluded native Hawaiians from positions of power. Their goal, which was to be annexed by the United States, was fulfilled in July 1898. I propose that you use this sad series of events as a motivational story in 2021. Make it your goal to resist all efforts to be colonized and occupied. Commit yourself passionately to preserving your sovereignty and independence. Be a tower of power that can’t be owned. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 2021, you may be smarter than you have ever been. Not necessarily wiser, too, although I have reason to hope that you will leverage your smartness to also deepen your wisdom. But as I was saying, your intelligence could very well soar beyond its previous heights. Your ability to speak articulately, stir up original thoughts, and solve knotty riddles should be at a peak. Is there any potential downside to this outbreak of brilliance? Only one that I can imagine: It’s possible that your brain will be working with such dominant efficiency that it will drown out messages from your heart. And that would be a shame. In order to do what I referred to earlier— leverage your smartness to deepen your wisdom—you’ll need to be receptive to your heart’s messages

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The birds known as red knots breed every year in the Arctic regions. Then they fly south—way south— down to the southern edge of South America, more than 9,000 miles away. A few months later, they make the return trip to the far north. In 1995, ornithologists managed to put a monitoring band on one red knot’s leg, making it possible to periodically get a read on his adventures over the subsequent years. The bird’s nickname is Moonbird, because he has traveled so many miles in the course of his life that it’s equivalent to a jaunt to the moon. He’s known as “the toughest four ounces on the planet.” I nominate him to be your magical creature in 2021. I suspect you will have stamina, hardiness, persistence, and determination like his. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An Aquarian park ranger named Roy Sullivan was struck by lightning seven times in the course of his 71 years on the planet. (That’s a world record.) None of the electrostatic surges killed him, although they did leave a few burns. After studying your astrological potentials for 2021, I’ve concluded that you may be the recipient, on a regular basis, of a much more pleasurable and rewarding kind of lightning strike: the metaphorical kind. I advise you to prepare yourself to be alert for more epiphanies than usual: exciting insights, inspiring revelations, and useful ideas.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Coral reefs are in danger all over the world. These “rainforests of the sea” are being decimated by ocean acidification, toxic runoff from rivers, rising temperatures, and careless tourists. Why should we care? Because they’re beautiful! And also because they’re hotbeds of biodiversity, providing homes for 25 percent of all marine species. They also furnish protection for shorelines from erosion and storm damage, and are prime spots to harvest seafood. So I’m pleased people are finding ways to help reefs survive and recover. For example, a group in Thailand is having success using superglue to re-attach brokenoff pieces to the main reefs. I hope this vignette inspires you to engage in metaphorically similar restorative and rejuvenating activities, Pisces. In 2021, you will have an enhanced power to heal.
