SLO city moves toward all-electric buildings

tarting next year, most new homes and buildings in San Luis Obispo will be allelectric and without natural gas hook-ups. The SLO City Council approved an overhaul of its building code on Sept. 3 that includes strong disincentives against building new natural gas infrastructure, a move that city leaders claim will help SLO get closer to its netzero emissions target by 2035. The local code amendments—collectively called the Clean Energy Choice Program— follow a statewide push among progressive cities to electrify buildings. SLO’s code, which goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2020, doesn’t outright ban new buildings with natural gas, as a recent Berkeley policy does. It uses disincentives, like fees, to discourage natural gas use. The council voted 4-1 on the changes, with Erica Stewart dissenting. “I’m proud of us for this work,” Vice Mayor Andy Pease said. “I think it’s really a balanced, sensible, inclusive way to transition.” SLO’s new code has three main thrusts: It requires mixed-fuel (natural gas) buildings to meet additional energy efficiency standards and be pre-wired for electric retrofitting; it introduces a “carbon offset program”—where a builder of a mixed-fuel building must either complete an electric retrofit of an old building, or pay an in-lieu fee to the city to subsidize retrofits; and it mandates solar installations on nonresidential buildings. It exempts commercial kitchens, additions, attached accessory dwelling units, and essential public safety buildings (like a fire station). While the code isn’t effective until next year, it will apply to two major permitted housing developments, San Luis Ranch and Avila Ranch. The Sept. 3 meeting lasted until close to midnight, as an overflow crowd in City Hall spoke for hours during public comment. A mix of residents, students, activists, real estate agents, SoCal Gas employees, businesses, and

Resident Ruth Ann Moore expressed a sentiment that came up repeatedly that night. “I just don’t like that all of this has been pushed upon us so quickly,” she said.

Cannabis applicant petitions Morro Bay’s retail licensing process

One candidate that participated in Morro Bay’s review of applications for two commercial medical cannabis operation permits is petitioning the city’s process. Connected Morro Bay Blvd. filed its petition on Aug. 14 against the city of Morro Bay, RCP Morro Bay, Natural Healing Center-MB, Ethnobotanica, and SLO Retail Group. The petition claims that the city wasn’t transparent in its review and scoring process. Connected also believes the two candidates that were awarded permits (Natural Healing Center and RCP) were not legally eligible. The petition states that Connected submitted an application and was denied a permit to operate on a commercial property located at 455 Morro Bay Blvd. According to a press release from the city, the applicant review process followed the steps outlined in the Morro Bay municipal code. Applicants went through an initial screening process with cannabis consultant HdL to decide whether they met the minimum qualifications

for the permit. HdL assigned each an initial score based on the application. If the applicant passed the first step, a cannabis permit committee (composed of Police Chief Jody Cox, Fire Chief Steve Knuckles, and Finances Director Jennifer Callaway) then reviewed the applicants’ scores, interviewed each applicant, and assigned each a numeric score based on merit. Based on the final merit list scores, the cannabis permit committee then made recommendations to the city manager about the two applicants that should be awarded the permits. The city manager then conducted a review of the two applicants, held a second round of interviews, and conducted site visits of their existing cannabis retail operations. At the conclusion of the process, the city manager preliminarily accepted the committee’s recommendation. Connected Morro Bay Blvd. claims it received an initial score of 1,646 points out of 1,650 possible points from HdL—the highest by far of all the applicants, the petition states. Yet, in the final scoring from the city, Connected went from the NEWS continued page 6

top of the list to the bottom. At the same time, the petition claims that the Natural Healing Center and RCP went to the top of the list when both started at the bottom. The petition claims that when Connected asked the city for information and documents supporting the final scoring and percentages, city officials told the company that they did not have such documents. Connected claims that this allegation illustrates that the entire process was tainted. According to the petition, the city has also refused to produce or provide the permit committee’s written recommendations in response to several Public Records Act requests from Connected. Connected is also claiming that the city improperly met with the Natural Healing Center’s representatives after the city determined its initial application was incomplete, and allowed the company to supplement its application and to change the location of its potential place of business. Because the city’s permit determination is final and non-appealable, the petition claims, Connected has no choice but to seek an order compelling the city to deny or revoke the permits for both the Natural Healing Center and RCP Morro Bay and to instead award a permit to Connected. The city of Morro Bay is completing the processing required before final permits can be issued, and officials stated that they will not comment on the active petition. —Karen Garcia

Grover Beach considers application for grant to increase housing stock

The city of Grover Beach had the first of many conversations regarding housing at its City Council meeting on Sept. 3, and along with possible policy and zoning changes, council members discussed applying for a one-time grant that could help increase housing production. At the meeting, City Council considered all things housing, from recently passed state laws, to the city’s rates of affordable housing production in years past, to the upcoming housing element update. “This is really intended as a studysession type item,” City Manager Matthew Bronson said at the meeting. “There is no action being requested of the council this evening. We are beginning a dialogue regarding housing and the requirements placed upon the city by the state and other entities, and opportunities and potential actions the city could take as a result.” According to city staff, the state is becoming more and more serious about increasing its housing stock for all residents, especially those who make low and moderate wages. Community Development Director Bruce Buckingham said Grover Beach has struggled in the past to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goals, the number of new housing units local jurisdictions are supposed to build in a certain period of time. Although cities aren’t charged with building the units themselves, they are required to ensure that the necessary land-use policies are in place to facilitate the assigned housing production. In the last housing element, Grover Beach was tasked with producing 165 units in five years. Only 69 of those were supposed to be market-rate units, and the

VIEWER DISCRETION rest were to be affordable for very low-, low-, and moderate-income residents. The city produced 126 units total, but 112 were market-rate units, according to the city staff report. Now the city is responsible for producing 369 units in the next 10 years, Buckingham said, and 58 percent should fall into the affordable category. Grant funding from Senate Bill 2 could be vital to making that scale of production possible. SB 2 offers Grover Beach $160,000 of one-time, non-competitive funding for reshaping its housing policies to better facilitate increased housing production. The application must be submitted by Nov. 30, according to the staff report, and all related activities must be completed by June 2022. At the Sept. 3 meeting, council members considered a variety of policy changes and activities that could be funded by the grant: allowing residential projects by right, affordable housing density bonuses, an inclusionary housing ordinance, updates to the city’s accessory dwelling unit ordinance, the creation of a tiny-home ordinance, city-developed accessory dwelling unit prototype building plans, removing potential barriers to in-fill housing, an increased focus on affordable-by-design units, and providing incentives and concessions to housing development. City Council members, Grover Beach residents, nonprofit leaders, and developers who spoke at the meeting showed overwhelming support for nearly all the potential policy changes outlined by city staff. Although Mayor Pro Tem Mariam Shah said she was concerned that it could be a significant time constraint for city staff, especially considering the looming application deadline, council members agreed that they’d like city staff to do more research into each of the policy options, so that all could potentially be included in the city’s application for SB 2 funding. City staff are now working with that direction and will develop a resolution, which the city manager said will be brought back to City Council for discussion in late October or early November. —Kasey Bubnash

Templeton may help Santa Lucia School provide drinkable water

The Templeton Community Services District (CSD) will begin working with Santa Lucia School to connect it to district water as the nonprofit currently has a failing well and non-potable water. At the Sept. 3 CSD meeting, Santa Lucia School board Treasurer Vallar Wahba said Santa Lucia is a small school with a limited number of staff members, so their water issues have been more than they can handle. “The woman that has been [handling the well monitoring] since almost the beginning of the [school’s establishment], maybe 30 years, she got lax and we weren’t really aware of that,” Wahba said, but did not state the individual’s name. According to Miller Drilling Company—a water well drilling, pump sales, and services company—the school’s well has reached the end of its useful life and is heavily impacted due to tree roots. The State Water Board reported that the school has consistently failed to

6 • New Times • September 5 - September 12, 2019 • www.newtimesslo.com

collect the necessary monitoring information and is currently past due on all required raw sampling data—most of its monitoring information is more than 10 years old. The state agency recommended the school connect with Templeton’s water system. In order to be considered for connection, the CSD would have to amend its water code, which currently only allows for applications from residences. The CSD board directed district staff to create two options for the school: Draft an amended water code ordinance that will allow nonprofits and public serving agencies to get an emergency connection when there is a public health and safety issue, and also investigate whether the school can submit a riparian agency agreement. The board will consider the issue again in October. —Karen Garcia

Community workforce agreement approved in $30 million wastewater project

Local workers will be priority hires in an up-and-coming construction project on the wastewater treatment plant in Oceano, the key term of an agreement that was recently approved by agencies leading the project. The South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District owns and operates the wastewater treatment plant, and its board of directors voted on Aug. 21 in favor of a community workforce agreement aimed at guaranteeing that the majority of workers and apprentices assigned to the project will be locals. Caren Ray Russom, who serves as a board member for the Sanitation District and is the mayor of Arroyo Grande, said that there aren’t a lot of local contractors who do projects like the one needed at Oceano’s wastewater treatment plant. So when these kinds of projects go out to bid, big contractors hired from out of town come in and bring all their employees with them, giving the available work opportunities to non-residents who won’t pay local property taxes or spend money on the Central Coast. Through the Sanitation District’s community workforce agreement, qualified contractors of all kinds will still be able to bid on the project—those from in or out of town—and they’ll still be able to bring their core employees to work on the project. But outside the core group,

by Jayson Mellom

a certain number of local employees will need to be hired for every out-of-towner. That agreement ensures that tax dollars and ratepayer dollars remain in the area, Russom said, helping to maintain a strong local economy and solid career pathways for local residents, which she said will be especially important in the wake of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant closure. “That’s a big deal to me,” Russom said. There was some opposition to the community work agreement throughout the Sanitation District’s negotiations with the Tri-Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, an organization that represents dozens of unions on the Central Coast. Some residents say forcing contractors to hire locally will make the project more costly and less competitive, but Russom said there isn’t any real damning evidence to support that argument. Negotiations also hit a wall during a discussion over the construction management portion of the project, which is under a separate contract. Organizations bidding on that portion of the project won’t be required to comply with the community workforce agreement. Still, local unions are celebrating the community workforce agreement as a win, according to Tony Skinner, executive secretary-treasurer of the Tri-Counties Building and Construction Trades Council. “The community workforce agreement that was adopted by the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District for their Redundancy Project is a major step forward for the working men and women in San Luis Obispo County,” Skinner said in a press release. “The agreement will put local workers on the job first and keep local tax dollars and ratepayers here fueling the local economy.” The changes coming to the wastewater treatment plant are known as the Redundancy Project. As it is now, portions of the plant can’t be maintained or serviced without shutting down operations at the plant entirely. The Redundancy Project, valued at more than $30 million, will allow major process units at the plant to be removed from service for maintenance or repairs without risking emergency shutdowns. The project is scheduled to go out to bid over the next few months with construction to begin in late 2019 or early 2020. Δ —Kasey Bubnash

hile candidates still have three months to jump into the 2020 election races, a battle for San Luis Obispo County’s 5th District supervisor is underway. Debbie Arnold, a Pozo rancher and twoterm incumbent, is defending her seat against challenger Ellen Beraud, a former Atascadero City Council member, who entered the race in March. A dietician and small business owner, Beraud promised fresh, inclusive leadership for the North County district. “I just saw where the county was going,” Beraud told New Times, “and I was thinking to myself, we need better representation.” Arnold, on the other hand, said she’s proud of her record and wants to continue her leadership on challenges facing the county, like the closure of Diablo Canyon Power Plant and managing groundwater. “I enjoy being a supervisor, knowing that I can really make a difference,” Arnold said. “I think things have been going really well the last few years, even with some pretty big challenges.” Arnold and Beraud are vying to represent the communities of Atascadero, Creston, Garden Farms, Santa Margarita, Cal Valley, and portions of Templeton, SLO, and Cal Poly. District 5 is one of three in the county that are up for grabs next year—along with District 3 and District 1. Adam Hill (District 3) and John Peschong (District 1) are running for re-election unchallenged as of press time. Politically, District 5 is the most evenly split district between Democrats and Republicans in the county, which sets it up to be the race that determines the swing vote on the Board of Supervisors. The board is currently controlled by a conservative majority of Arnold, Peschong, and Lynn Compton (4th District), who was narrowly re-elected in 2018. As of June 30, eight months before the primary, the candidates had received nearly $250,000 in total contributions, with Arnold leading the fundraising at about $140,000. Arnold has more support from industries like wineries and builders, while Beraud has received more individual donations.

A choice

Arnold and Beraud hold contrasting positions on many of the hot-button issues at the county. Beraud believes the county has overly restricted the incoming cannabis industry, while Arnold wants to tighten regulations on it. Beraud wants the county to explore joining Monterey Bay Community Power, a community choice energy (CCE), while Arnold is skeptical. Beraud opposed a controversial quarry project in Santa Margarita that the county ultimately denied, while Arnold voted for it. On cannabis, Beraud said that with Diablo Canyon closing, the county can’t afford to turn new economic opportunities away. “We have to think about what’s the best for our economy in terms of being diverse,” Beraud said. “I don’t think the

cannabis rollout has been very smooth in this county.” Arnold said her goal with cannabis policy was to allow existing growers a chance to continue post-legalization. But as that rolled out, opposition emerged in rural communities. Now, Arnold is in favor of buffering cannabis farther away from neighbors. “My job is to work to make sure the uses are compatible and to try to reduce conflict,” she said. Despite most jurisdictions in SLO County voting to join Monterey Bay Community Power in the next two years, Arnold remains wary of this “big expansion of government,” as she called it. Arnold said she’s not flat-out against CCE, which buys and sells electricity while leaving distribution to PG&E, but she wants to spend more time thinking about it for the county. “We’re taking a big step that I don’t believe there’s any going back from,” she said. Beraud supports participating in CCE as a means to pursue clean energy and save ratepayers money. “I don’t understand why they’re so resistant,” Beraud said. “It makes more sense for it to be a nonprofit versus a for-profit. For me, the structure makes more sense.” Discussing controversial “yes” votes on projects like the Santa Margarita quarry in 2015 and the Phillips 66 Rail Spur Extension in 2017, Arnold said she believed both were in the best interest of the economy, and would have been compatible with the communities. On the quarry project—which has since been revived and whose application is currently on hold at the county—Arnold said, “I personally do not think the impact on the neighbors would have been that great, and I say that including myself. I come into work on Highway 58, and often drop my grandchildren at the Santa Margarita school. There are already trucks in and out of the town. ... I really believe that it was a compatible use.” Beyond the specific issues they’ll tackle as supervisors, Arnold and Beraud spoke to their leadership styles and political philosophies. Arnold’s overarching lens is one about “smaller, more efficient government,” she said. “I absolutely believe government plays a role in our life and an important one. On the other hand, too much government can impede opportunities for people,” Arnold said. Beraud, who served on the Atascadero City Council from 2006 to 2010, said she emphasizes listening and inclusivity in her representation. She argued that Arnold’s record shows a lack of forward thinking and preparedness, and reputation of not listening. She feels the ideological division on the Board of Supervisors has created a level of polarization that has discouraged citizen participation. “There’s not a lot of discussion. It’s just like they count the votes before they even get there, it seems like,” Beraud said. “I want people to be involved in their government.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Dancing with Death

Hospice SLO County creates space for conversations about anything related to death, including cremation

n Aug. 26, chairs formed a circle in one of the main rooms of the Dorothy D. Rupe Center, home of the volunteer-run Hospice SLO County. Natural light filtered through a large front window, accompanying the candle flames spread around the room. Adults of varying ages trickled in while an attendee played a tune on the piano. They’re there for the Dancing with Death event hosted by Kris KingtonBarker, a certified end-of-life doula and executive director of the hospice. In a phone call with New Times, she said that Dancing with Death is a place for community members to explore topics related to the end of life. The event is similar to the Death Café, Kris Kington-Barker said. The difference is that Dancing with Death begins with a speaker, a film, poetry, music, a TV show, or a lecture to help launch the conversation. Meeting attendees start by saying their name and why they’re participating in the event. Their reasons varied from curiosity to the experience of losing a family member. “I’ve had everything from people who have said, ‘You know, I’m here because I looked in the mirror and said I’m an old man. It’s the first time that I’ve had that reaction to my reflection and it scared me,’” she said. The point of the meeting is to be able to talk about death without fear. According to the American Psychological Association podcast, Speaking of Psychology, nobody likes talking about death or finds it easy to talk about. “But they are topics that everyone will need to face at some point in their life, and that’s true for family members and their close friends, but also true for themselves,” it stated. The podcast suggests that people should talk about death because it can happen at any moment, so it’s better to be prepared. Locally, Dancing with Death enables attendees to talk (or ask questions) about how to approach a family member about what to do with their things once they’re gone or whether they want a burial, cremation service, or another alternative. Kington-Barker said the ongoing event is about having a dialogue. “There’s no right way to die, and there’s no right way to prepare for it. But there is a way for every one of us that helps us get more comfortable around the idea,” Kington-Barker said. Romany Waters spoke at the Aug. 26 event about her local work as a certified mortician and cremationist, state-licensed funeral director, and crematory manager. “I didn’t really think about working so close to death, until I couldn’t stop thinking about it,” she said. Waters has been a student of

otherworldliness and near-death experiences since the ’70s. She and her spouse, Alicia, would often drive by Los Osos Valley Memorial Park and talk about how they would like to run a cemetery—Alicia said she would love to do the flower arrangements. “I joked about becoming a mortician. Then I thought, I could become a mortician,” she said. Waters works for a company called Service Corporation InternationalDignity Memorial and is based at their Los Osos Valley Memorial Park, Mortuary, and Crematory location. She works closely with Chapel of Roses Mortuary & Crematory in Atascadero and Kuehl-Nicolay Funeral Home in Paso Robles. Waters also performs cremations for the Neptune Society. She’s been in the field for five years, and she told New Times via email that she loves her work. “Offering a calm, solid, positive, loving energy and space to folks who are griefstricken (and often shocked), and still here after their person has died,” Waters said. Every service, whether it’s for a burial or cremation, is different, she said. The conversation on Aug. 26 quickly steered to questions about cremation—such as how being cremated in a casket affects things. In her experience, she said, when a person is cremated in a simple wooden casket, the remains are mingled with fewer chemicals. Attendees also learned that it’s OK to ask whether they can be more involved in the cremation process. Waters said some people want to push the casket into the cremator and push the button because they want to have some control, while others aren’t interested in being involved. The cremation process can take— depending on the body type and type of casket—anywhere from two to five hours. She said she’s only ever had two cases where the individuals stayed throughout the process for cultural reasons. Typically, Waters said, the families leave after some time, but it’s up to them when to start the process and when to leave—there’s no pressure. According to the Cremation Association of North America’s 2019 Annual Statistics Report, cremation rates have continued to grow, “confirming that cremation is the new tradition.” Kington-Barker said having these conversations is like turning on the lights in a room. “When you enter the dark room and you’re hearing sounds and don’t know what those are, it’s scary,” she said. “When you turn the light on and you see that it’s just a cat scratching itself in the corner in its sleep, that’s not scary.” ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

tarting a business is tough, and in downtown San Luis Obispo, it doesn’t always matter how creative or interesting your idea is. If it doesn’t cater to tourists, college students, or some new niche, survival is going to be an uphill battle. That’s what Rich Hanen learned a little too late after he opened Vegetable Butcher. When Hanen and his partners opened the restaurant at 712 Marsh St. in July 2017, it was a longtime vision coming to fruition. They’d noticed something about the world today: A lot of different people have a lot of different dietary restrictions. Whether the diner has a food allergy or a moral opposition to the meat and dairy industries, or he or she is just a good oldfashioned picky eater, those specificities make it challenging for families and groups of friends to find restaurants that cater to everyone’s needs. Hanen and his partners imagined a place where a family made up of a vegan kid, gluten-free mom, and steak-loving dad could all find something delicious on the menu at a fair price, without anyone having to settle for a lowly house salad tossed in oil and vinegar. That’s what Vegetable Butcher aimed to do, and Hanen said the San Luis Obispo community initially welcomed his restaurant as a unique place with food for all palates. But that alone wasn’t enough to keep the business alive. Construction on the neighboring Hotel Cerro overshadowed the restaurant. Main roads surrounding it were closed for days at a time, cranes constantly worked overhead, and there always seemed to be a steady flow of huge work trucks moving in and out of the area. It was noisy and unappealing and chaotic. “It looked more like a war zone more than a city on some days,” Hanen said. “It was a mess.” Hanen and his partners had known about the hotel construction prior to opening Vegetable Butcher and had planned for it, but nothing had prepared them for just how much it would strain business. The work was repeatedly delayed and nearly two years behind schedule—the hotel still isn’t finished—and the reality of the situation was worse than even their worst-case-scenario estimates. Just two years later, in June of this year, Vegetable Butcher closed its doors for good. Though the construction had a significant impact on Hanen’s restaurant, it wasn’t the only factor at play. There’s a growing “perception” that parking is nearly impossible to find downtown, he said, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for businesses to survive if they aren’t directly targeting college-aged residents. “SLO just isn’t as generally busy as we thought,” Hanen said. Vegetable Butcher isn’t the only downtown business that’s had to throw in the towel within the last few months. In May, Spike’s Pub closed after 38 years in business, following closely behind Formagerie Sophie, an artisan cheese shop that closed its doors in March. El Matador, a taco shop across from Luna Red, closed around that time, too. The Downtown Donut Factory shut down after only a few months in business, as did Branzino, an upscale tapas restaurant that closed in August, five months after it opened. SLO Bike and Run folded in August, alongside both SLO Brew’s downtown location and Charles Shoes. The emptied and shuttered shops are hard to miss, and some longtime residents and business owners say an increased focus on the revenue generated by college students and tourists has put the needs of visitors and short-term residents over the needs of those who have lived and worked in the area for

Finding balance

College students and tourists spend a lot of money in downtown SLO, but some older residents say they’ve been forgotten BY KASEY BUBNASH

CLOSING WOES Charles Shoes closed in August after more than 50 years in business. Though the store’s closure can’t be blamed on any failings of the city or owners, its loss is representative of a greater issue that some say is deterring longtime residents from making the trip downtown.

years. But city officials say tourism is vital to the city’s economy, and the recent turnover is all just part of the natural ebb and flow of a healthy downtown.

Long-term frustrations

It was uncharacteristically hot in downtown San Luis Obispo on Aug. 15. As some scantily dressed residents took refuge from the heat of the midday sun on shaded bar patios situated along Higuera Street, others rushed into Charles Shoes for the last time. Inside the store, a line of customers struggling to balance stacks of shoeboxes trailed from the front register all the way to the back of the store. Staffers all around helped search for specific sizes and explained the once-in-a-lifetime deals as dozens of customers hurriedly slipped on shoes and thoughtfully paced back and forth. Despite the heavily discounted prices, the mood in the store was one of mourning, and a bright yellow sign hanging high above the store’s outer entrance made it clear why: “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS: EVERYTHING MUST GO.” The beloved shoe store closed in August after more than 50 years in business. Its longtime owners, sisters Cyndi Ashley

and Suzette Porche, decided it was time to retire. Though the store’s closure can’t be blamed on any failings of the city or owners, some considered Charles Shoes to be totally unique in today’s downtown market—it was geared toward an older demographic of residents—and its loss is representative of the greater issue that is deterring some longtime residents from making the trip downtown. Odile Ayral has lived in San Luis Obispo since the ’70s, and in a message to New Times, she wrote that Charles Shoes was one of downtown’s last remaining anchor stores from the “old guard.” “This is a good example of why our downtown is losing more and more local shoppers,” she wrote. “Practical stores turn into froufrou stores for the tourists, so we stop going downtown.” Other residents agree. Griselda Ochoa told New Times that 15 years ago, the city proudly touted a “shop local” slogan. Things have changed drastically since then, and according to Ochoa, chain stores have pushed their way in, and SLO has lost its “small-town charm.” Georgia Adrian wrote in a message to New Times that she avoids going

downtown because of the lack of parking and the increasingly present homeless population, issues several other locals noted as well. Resident Anne Keller said that most retail stores downtown are clearly focused on high school- and collegeaged consumers. While she said that’s understandable given SLO’s demographics, it “does eliminate many of us older folks who might actually want to walk around downtown more often if there was anything of interest to look at or potentially purchase.” These are the issues a group of frustrated residents, Save Our Downtown San Luis Obispo, is pushing the city to address. Allan Cooper, secretary of the group, characterized the tension over downtown as a “chicken or egg” situation. As college enrollment and tourism numbers grow, the city puts more emphasis on supporting those revenue generators, making the area less appealing to older residents, and thus more difficult for some local businesses to survive. With two colleges nearby, Cooper said the ever-increasing student population creates intense demand for loud and crowded bars, cheap eats, and live entertainment. Property owners respond by replacing locally owned retail businesses with high-rent-paying entertainment venues, undercutting retail diversity, increasing overall rents, and discouraging older residents from frequenting the area at night and on weekends, when Cooper said the whole main strip feels like “you’re inside a disco.” Where there were once useful shops, like hardware and grocery stores, there are now bars and gift shops for tourists. “The demographics of the city are changing,” he said, “and they’re changing to the point where the losing constitution are the residents because their needs aren’t being addressed downtown.” This is compounded by the fact that the city, because of its growing pension obligations, needs more revenue, which can easily be generated through tourist spending and transient occupancy taxes, fees paid by visitors who stay in local hotels. So Cooper said the city is fast-tracking developments like Hotel Cerro and Hotel San Luis Obispo, even though they will employ mostly low-salaried workers who likely won’t be able to afford the cost of rent in SLO, worsening the housing, commuting, parking, and congestion issues the city already struggles with. “Downtown shouldn’t be seen as a money machine,” he said. “It should be seen as a refuge for our residents.”

Money maker

Without tourism, it’s hard to say what San Luis Obispo might look like. It’s one of the county’s top revenue generators, bringing in about $6.7 billion since 2015. In 2018, about 7.5 million tourists visited San Luis Obispo County, generating $80.1 million in tax revenue, according to data collected by Visit SLO Cal, the county’s marketing organization. Each household in SLO County would have had to spend an additional $17,231 locally last year to have made the same economic impact. Much of the money generated by tourism goes back into the city, and that benefits residents, according to the city’s Economic Development Manager Charlene Rosales. The city has $40 million earmarked in its 2019-20 budget that will be used to provide improved maintenance, infrastructure, and amenities in the downtown area, she said. “That goes into all the different things that residents like,” Rosales said. “We work really hard to balance the needs

of the people who are living here all the time while making it appealing for people who are coming here to visit.” Finding and maintaining that balance is what the Downtown SLO Association is all about, and CEO Bettina Swigger said tourists are vital to the survival of many local downtown businesses. People are more likely to spend money in brick-and-mortar stores when they’re on vacation, according to Swigger. It makes sense: When you’re on vacation, you want to walk around and explore. You’ve saved up and set money aside specifically for the trip, and you want to see stores unlike those you might find at home or anywhere else.

s Jessica Zerolis shows me around her new salon in downtown Pismo Beach, it becomes clear that she’s had a hand in everything here. A former business and interior design student at Cuesta College, Zerolis picked out each black leather styling chair, aqua blue throw pillow, paint sample, and floor tile in the place—giving the salon a modern and minimalist feel with a beachy, welcoming twist. The space was so bare-bones when she got it that she was charged with installing everything, including the plumbing and electricity. She hand-picked every hair and makeup product available for sale on the store’s shelves, and she’s even the mastermind behind each of the abstract, watery paintings adorning the salon’s walls—acrylic pours she threw together just before she opened shop on Aug. 8. Zerolis has always been creative, and to her, hair is just another canvas and a salon just another place to express herself artistically. That’s why she named her new salon Masterpiece Hair Studio. “It is art that we’re doing,” Zerolis says. Masterpiece is one of several new businesses staking a claim on Pismo’s main strip through the retail spaces provided by the Inn at the Pier, a 104room beachside hotel that opened in the fall of 2017. For Zerolis, the connection with the inn has proven to be nothing but positive. Her clients are allowed to use the hotel’s valet parking services at a discounted price of $2.50 an hour—it’s usually $6—and clients and staff alike can order food and drinks from the inn’s room service menu. Masterpiece staff will be offering in-room facials and massages for hotel guests, and tourists and locals can stop in after a day at the beach for a quick blow-out, trim, or makeup touch-up before heading out for dinner or drinks. Masterpiece, located at 180 Pomeroy Ave., sits just off the Pismo pier downtown, and the benefits of the central location alone are immediately obvious. As Zerolis and I talk, another employee flips through a magazine and nibbles on a charcuterie tray from the hotel. Groups of beachgoers are constantly walking past,

and several stop to check out the salon’s services and prices, which are posted on the opened doors. Finally one asks about trims, and Zerolis’ employee plops her into a styling chair for a quick shampoo. That happens all the time, Zerolis says. But Zerolis wants the space to be welcoming to locals, too. Born and raised in Los Osos, with parents and grandparents who all also lived and worked in San Luis Obispo County, she says she has deep ties to this area. She also comes from a family of entrepreneurs—for years her grandma owned a stationery store in the area, and her grandpa owned his own architecture company in Morro Bay. “So I feel like it’s in my blood,” she says. Zerolis has been interested in cultivating an artistic career since she took a particularly inspiring painting class at Cuesta. She looked into it, found a makeup class in Los Angeles, and signed up. Soon she was in cosmetology school in San Luis Obispo and fell in love with coloring and cutting hair. She worked for years at a salon in SLO, and now she has six employees of her own. “It’s just the most rewarding job,” she says, “It doesn’t even feel like a job. It’s just fun for me to make [people] beautiful.” Masterpiece Hair Studio is open seven days a week and offers a variety of services, including haircuts, color, makeup, spa, and bridal.

BY LARRY SCHIFFER

Rescue me We need to turn this ship around

resenting for your consideration, a child of the ’60s, a veteran of Woodstock, and an out-of-touch adult. I haven’t grasped concepts like emojis, tropes, memes, or throwing shade. I’ve never tweeted, and I’m convinced I never will. Owning a smartphone was never a consideration until I found out recently that I can’t buy a ticket to a Celtics game anywhere in the country without having access to a mobile app. Watching other folks staring blindly into their screens in restaurants and waiting rooms, like their lives depended on it, is just not appealing. Back in the ’60s, no one ever called me a “hippie” because that was a label that the media and politicians of those times used

It seems like folks just don’t want to be bothered about kids in cages, Russians attempting to take over our government, and immigrants dying when they are seeking to bring their hopes for a better life to our country. If that attitude was as prevalent back in the 1940s when my parents escaped the Holocaust, I wouldn’t be around to question my fellow Americans of today. So now that I’m “woke,” the question is what’s it going to take to get us back out in the streets again? We had our Vietnam then, and we have our horrific gun violence and racial bigotry trying to collapse our democracy today. Before moving to the beautiful Central Coast, I lived in one of the poorest counties in Tennessee (Hancock County, check it out). My closest friend there, and still one of my cherished ones, is a Baptist

lived there, so I didn’t know their current emotions back then. I was naive and out of my element. It seems that a lot of these folks think that I, and all Jews, need to go to Israel so that we can participate in their Armageddon. Not I folks, sorry. Been there but didn’t do that. I mention this because it adds to my confused state of what happened around me then and is happening now. It’s so difficult to keep track of the players without a scorecard these days. As to Mr. Donegan’s question about: “Where are all the Hippies?” (Aug. 29), I suggest that if they joined the Republican Party because of it’s “laissez-faire” policies, my translation to his platform is the “Do Nothing” party. In closing I would like to leave the readers with these thoughts about where we go from here. “We were addicted to the hokey-pokey until we turned ourselves around.” That’s what it’s all about.

Letters Looking for credibility? Here’s a thought. Al Fonzi probably would like New Times readers to take him seriously. Mr. Fonzi’s defenders claim to want diversity of opinion. Both are possible. In order to have credibility and diversity, Mr. Fonzi needs a new approach. He needs to stop writing opinion pieces that simply spin political ideology. These

monologues are long-winded, say very little, and leave readers tired. Most readers, like myself, are turned off by the same old rant. There’s an alternative. Mr. Fonzi needs to wade into the deep end of the pool and offer practical, credible solutions to issues like gun violence, the opioid epidemic, homelessness, north San Luis Obispo County water sustainability. If he were to address these issues, I think he’d discover his audience to be much more receptive. Most people would respect an effort to offer an honest solution to one of the above mentioned problems even if they didn’t necessarily agree. This is how dialogues are started that lead to real progress. Steve Ryburn Atascadero

A proposal that accomplishes nothing

As a member of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Decommissioning Engagement Panel, I found Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham’s proposal to keep the power plant open beyond 2025 very surprising. Not only did PG&E itself seek to close the plant, it obtained the state’s approval to do so in 2018. When asked about this, PG&E ’s Tom Jones stated, “We appreciate Assemblyman Cunningham’s strong leadership on helping California meet its clean energy goals. His proposal does not change any of PG&E’s plans for Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The state of California has clearly indicated its position on the future of nuclear power in the state through the CPUC’s [California Public Utility Commission’s] approval of the joint proposal and the passage of Senate Bill 1090 by the state Legislature. As a state-regulated utility, we are LETTERS continued page 16

focused on meeting the energy policies of the state. This includes meeting requirements of the joint proposal and SB 1090, and continuing to run the plant safely and reliably to the end of the licenses while planning for a successful decommissioning.” We should not be distracted by pie-in-the-sky proposals that cause nothing but confusion and division. We should instead focus on the herculean decommissioning tasks that lie ahead, including dismantling/transporting away the construction debris, ensuring safe and secure storage of used nuclear fuel, exploring the repurposing of noncontaminated facilities and structures to boost the local economy, and conserving the 12,000-acre Diablo Canyon lands. Kara Woodruff San Luis Obispo

Reducing natural gas is a great start

The San Luis Obispo City Council is considering a clean energy program for new buildings, which would provide a pathway for reducing natural gas consumption and pollution by buildings. It is a necessary step for reducing community emissions and an important part of the city’s battle against climate change. I wish the program took even bolder steps, but that is not why I am writing today. To protect their bottom line, the Western States Petroleum Alliance is using its public relations mouthpiece, “Californians for Affordable and Reliable

Letters This Week’s Online Poll VOTE AT WWW.NEWTIMESSLO.COM

What do you think of SLO’s proposed restrictions on natural gas in new development? 33% It’s another crazy left-wing idea from our City Council. 28% I usually agree with our city leaders but this goes too far. 21% It’s a good idea.

Energy,” to spread misinformation and fear. This Sacramento group is running ads claiming the program bans gas or gas appliances, among other lies. Here is the truth: The program allows choice. It requires new buildings to be electric-ready but does not forbid gas. It will not raise utility costs or stress energy infrastructure. It will keep energy costs low and protect locals from rising costs: SoCal Gas has stated its intent to raise prices 30 to 45 percent over the next three years. It will result in healthier air in our homes and offices. Western States Petroleum should stop lying to the people of San Luis Obispo, and City Council should enact this excellent program. It’s a great start. Erin Pearse San Luis Obispo

Sound off New Times readers took to Facebook to share their thoughts on our Aug. 29 news story, “Demonstration protests lack of protected bike lanes in SLO.”

We want to be TCE-free, too

We are writing this in response to the recent article by Peter Johnson (“Water Board finalizes TCE cleanup order on Buckley Road,” Aug. 22) regarding the state order to remove the TCE contamination beneath our property. The Regional Water Quality Control Board report on TCE contamination in the Buckley Road area omitted several significant facts: • There is no evidence that TCE was ever used or released on our property. • The board admits they do not know where or when the contamination occurred. • TCE was eliminated for industrial uses in about 1980. The contamination likely occurred in the ’60s or ’70s or during World War II when the U.S. military occupied the airport and used TCE to service aircraft. The highest concentrations of TCE in the soil and soil vapor in recent tests were north of Buckley Road, immediately adjacent to location of a former aircraft hangar. • Groundwater is constantly migrating. Tests going back 20 years show the TCE in our area constantly moving and changing in concentration. In the Buckley Road area, the groundwater moves south and west. Identifying the point of contamination 50 years later is an unfounded guess. TCE is present in groundwater or soil at the airport and at 24 properties south and west of the airport. A test well drilled one year ago indicates that the highest groundwater TCE concentration is currently under our property, and the board has exercised its authority by imposing responsibility on us for cleaning the contamination in the entire Buckley Road area. We do not have the money to continue to resist the board’s arbitrary decisions. We also do not have the funds necessary to comply with the board’s requirements, but we will do our best to obtain money from available grant sources at the State Water Resources Control Board in Sacramento to perform the work. Like our neighbors, we would like to have our property free of TCE. Janice Noll John Noll San Luis Obispo

Immigration reform needs to happen

The commentary, “I’m undocumented” (Aug. 29), seems like a politically written hit piece. If factual, I am sympathetic. But I also grew up with illegal immigrants, hired illegal immigrants, and worked with them. Most went to the effort to be legalized and assimilate over the years. The need to improve our immigration laws and enforce them has been going on long before President Donald Trump. The only amnesty happened under a Republican president in 1986, which legalized more than 3 million people. Since then, we have had talk from both Democrats and Republicans, and nothing gets done. Laws are ignored on all sides. President Barack Obama had a Democratic majority in Congress his first term and ignored immigration reform. Is there a country with a template for reform? That’s your call. All countries have borders and

immigration laws. No country takes in as many immigrants as we do, legal and illegal ! The U.S. is a valued destination because it is a country of laws. Either we obey the laws or we are lawless. Harry Fawcett Avila Beach

A serious thought about hippies

John Donegan writes that all the old hippies “must now be Republicans” because they were nonconformists like Donald Trump, or some such vague trivia (“Where are all the hippies?” Aug. 29). Let’s get serious for a moment. During the Vietnam War, Republicans re-elected President Richard Nixon. He often demonized war-protesting hippies as un-American traitors. The hippies returned his contempt with interest, justifiably, as it turned out, as he was soon forced to resign for abuse of power and corruption. Now, similarly, we see Republicans cheering another corrupt president, who spends his time dodging investigations into his conduct in office, sucking up to Russia and North Korea, and dissing our allies or our own State Department, intelligence services, FBI, judges, Congress, and press, along with immigrants and any and all dissenters. I doubt if he’ll get much support from those who were targeted by Nixon. A bully like Trump needs enemies, and any of us, including his supporters, may find ourselves caught in the crossfire. Ask the farmers who have been devastated by his tariffs. Trump won’t be happy until he and his billionaire pals have everything and the rest of us have nothing. He belongs in the Big House, not the White House. Dave Raleigh San Luis Obispo

Hippie humor

I was super excited to see John Donegan’s opinion piece, “Where are all the hippies?” (Aug. 29) because I have been wondering the same thing! Upon reading his piece I found that John really didn’t answer the question, but at least he made me laugh. The funniest examples John provides are the “great joys we had 50 years ago, which are now often banned.” All you have to do is visit Pismo Beach on a holiday weekend and you’ll see plenty of “campfires and beer drinking on the beach, riding in the back of a pickup truck, or motorcycling without a helmet.” Wait, those aren’t hippies, they’re rednecks from Bakersfield flying MAGA and Confederate flags. Oh, and one more thing, John, before you describe the Republican Party as “laissez-faire,” look it up in your Funk & Wagnalls. Jim Souza Los Berros

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AMY HEWES

Radical hospitality

was recently sent an angry opinion piece titled, “My son’s freshman orientation at Virginia Tech was full of leftist propaganda.” Author Penny Nance, a contributor to The Federalist, a conservative web magazine, was highly offended that orientation name tags included pronouns by which students identified themselves: he, she, or them, to acknowledge gender identities that don’t conform to male or female. The Cal Poly alumnus who circulated the article urged local university administrators to “stay away from this ‘Politically Correct’ NOISE” described by Nance. “DON’T GO THERE!” he admonished. Well, if you’re siding with Nance, you’d better buckle your seat belt because Poly’s Week of Welcome students are hitting San Luis Obispo, and we’re going to see name tags that designate a singular use of “them” or perhaps “ze,” another nongendered pronoun coming into use. These new pronouns recognize that some people can’t neatly check either a male or female box. So, if you hold fiercely to traditional gender ideas, I suggest that instead of railing against this change, you try to expand your powers of empathy. Expand your box. New pronoun usage is a fresh way to respect people’s individual identities. What’s more, expanded pronoun use is not some silly social whim. It’s the law. The California Gender Recognition Act (SB 179) that went into effect as of Jan.

1 stipulates that “every person deserves full legal recognition and equal treatment under the law” and ensures that intersex, transgender, and nonbinary people have state-issued identification documents that provide full legal recognition of their accurate gender identity.” New pronouns are not just about college name tags. You’ll now see a nonbinary gender category (the letter “x”) on California birth certificates, driver’s licenses, identity cards, and gender-change court orders. And you know what? The sky will not fall. Your head may spin a bit, but nonbinary gender markers are changing rapidly across the nation. Left Coast California is joined in SB 179-type legislation by Arkansas; Colorado; Washington, D.C.; Maine; Michigan; Minnesota; Nevada; Oregon; Utah; Vermont; and Washington, and bills are pending elsewhere. Why is the pronoun kerfuffle not about political correctness? Because failing to respect someone’s gender identity is disrespectful, oppressive, and harmful. Nance seems to think she has special X-ray vision that enables her to look inside people and check them off as male or female. But you can’t always assign a gender identity to individuals by looks. Doing so negates their very being. “Using only binary gender pronouns and identification tells transgender people they don’t exist,” said Michelle

Call, executive director of SLO’s Gay and Lesbian Alliance, in a phone interview. “It’s hard to live in the world when it refuses to accept who you are.” In fact, while suicide is, shockingly, the second leading cause of death among young people aged 11 to 19, data from the American Academy of Pediatrics and other studies show that LGBTQ-plus youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide. Nearly half of all transgender youth in SLO and elsewhere have attempted suicide, while more have experienced suicide ideation and self-harming activities. Half of lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth have seriously considered suicide. Nance may think that these kids will feel better if they just buck up and get in a box, but are you willing to gamble the lives of our children by forcing them to adhere to specific pronouns, gender expressions, gender identities, and sexual orientations? How silly—no, how dangerous is that? Sam Neil Byrd, coordinator for LGBTQ-plus initiatives at Cal Poly, told me, moreover, that “communities are strongest when they’re diverse … We need individuals from different perspectives, world views, and identities in order to solve the complex problems of our world.” Byrd articulates the practical reason behind the Cal Poly and California State University “Commitment to Inclusive Excellence”: to prepare citizens to become problem-solvers and leaders. Accepting gender identities different from our own also promotes human kindness and mutual respect. What your mom might call “being polite.” “I’m from

the South,” Byrd said. “I view my work to build a coalition across campus and create solidarity for LGBTQ-plus issues, including pronoun use, as ‘radical hospitality,’ that is, part of my Southern heritage.” Pronouns are personal, they are important, and they are not a “preference.” They recognize who you are. Look, if you’re upset because you believe our language is somehow set in stone to describe reality, think again. Language is constantly evolving and changing. My generation ushered in Ms., and people had conniptions but got used to it. A San Luis Obispo mom I know has a child who came out as “they.” “It’s hard to adjust,” she said. “I admit I didn’t take it seriously at first, but the more you use a non-gender pronoun, the more you use it generally—and then the more you find yourself taking the time to politely ask people what pronoun they go by.” “It’s so important to understand and be aware of your child’s gender identity,” she said. “Asking more questions leads to more communication and acceptance. This world is changing so fast, you make mistakes, but our children are asking for progress, not perfection.” I hope people such as Nance will eventually understand that, in classic American lingo, our children are declaring their inalienable right to pursue their own happiness. ∆ Amy Hewes is actively involved in grassroots political action.

The Shredder

Don’t call me

get a lot of emails. Some people send me news tips, some people give me a pat on my little Shreddery back, and some people rant and rave. Last week, I got a ranter—and I. Just. Have. To. Share. It’s too good not to. This guy, whose email address starts with snaketail (what’s that all about anyway?), was pissed that I dare call Pacific Gas & Electric out for slacking on its maintenance, causing fires, and jacking up our electricity bills because of it. I do declare! He told me it was an impossible task to upkeep the miles and miles of electrical lines criss-crossing our state. Impossible, huh? Well, that’s the definition of what PG&E is supposed to do: Maintain safe infrastructure and deliver electricity to ratepayers. “These men and few women risk their lives everday to keep electricity and communications to households so you and your neighbor can watch fucking cat videos,” he yelled via email. First of all, I wasn’t calling out the actual utility workers—which I’m starting to guess snaketail is—who definitely deserve a pat on the back for helping keep the lights on. I was merely calling out the malfeasance of a corporate giant that put itself and us in the very situation we are in. Bankrupt, on fire, and possibly getting the lights turned off for weeks at a time. And second of all—it’s 2019. Nobody cares about the cat that’s scared of its own shadow anymore. Nobody! It’s all about

the dogs! Corgis doing corgi things. Labrador puppies falling down stairs. Pit bulls nuzzling duckies. This snakey guy is also very jealous of the firefighters who put their lives on the line in the pursuit of their job. “It cracks me up how everyone wants to suck some firefighters cock when we are out here EVERY DAY performing our jobs as best we can with what we have. Imagine, if you will, your life without communications, electricity and natural gas,” snaketail ranted. Well, snaketail—if that is your real name—we might very well get the chance to see what our lives will be like without electricity in the near future. You know, depending on how PG&E feels about weather conditions and whatnot. And folks in San Luis Obispo will definitely get the opportunity to see what life is like without natural gas and what it means to be completely dependent on a shaky electrical grid to service all of their daily resource wants and needs. SLO

City Council decided it would be best to require all new construction to be prewired for electric retrofitting, introduce an offset program that requires buildings with natural gas to pay an in-lieu fee or to retrofit an old building for all electric, and mandate solar installations on nonresidential buildings. At its Sept. 3 meeting, which lasted until midnight (geez, people), it sounded like the City Council wasn’t really in tune with the desires of its residents. Resident Ruth Ann Moore’s comment on the matter kind of sums the whole thing up.

Well, snaketail—if that is your real name—we might very well get the chance to see what our lives will be like without electricity in the near future. “I just don’t like that all of this has been pushed upon us so quickly,” she said. Yeah. I don’t really either. First of all, I don’t trust our electrical grid to be able to handle it! Sorry, not sorry, snaketail, but it’s a freaking fact, baby! Cal Poly electrical engineering professor Art MacCarley told the City Council that putting all of our resource needs into one basket “through an already vulnerable grid, is not a good idea.” “It actually puts us at risk,” he told them. Plus, it’s going to jack up utility bills, which Councilmember Erika Stewart astutely pointed out benefits the wealthy, who will get the option of having a choice. And what is SLOTown if not built for the

wealthy, white, and retired? It feels a little forced. I get it, Mayor Heidi “Impatient to be the Change I Want to See” Harmon, Berkeley already did it— and that was like last month! Damnit! But if you can’t be first, why would you want to be second? There’s something to be said about watching a policy unfold somewhere else and learning from the mistakes that come with it. Because the best-intentioned policies almost always have bad side effects. Don’t even get me started on the fledgling cannabis industry whose rules are changing all the damn time. Nobody can figure their lives out when it comes to regulating, permitting, growing, selling, etc. Just look at Morro Bay! Connected Morro Bay Boulevard is basically suing the city because it didn’t get chosen to do business in the seaside berg! Temper tantrum! But Heidi don’t give no fucks! “We know this isn’t risk free,” she said at the meeting, but climate change! It’s risky! Meanwhile, Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham is late to the party when it comes to pushing for nuclear energy to be considered a renewable source of electricity! PG&E (yep, them again) isn’t turning the Diablo Canyon Power Plant decommissioning bus around, and it’s the very last nuclear power plant in the state. Why didn’t you introduce your proposed state constitutional amendment when you first got into office? It seems a little fishy. Any time you want to give me all of the deets, feel free to send an email. ∆ The Shredder is risk free, guaranteed. Email comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

So Not Starkey

BY CAMILLIA LANHAM

Babylon and beyond Reggae, roots rock, country, and more are coming to a stage near you

he Babylon Bus Tour is pulling into San Luis Obispo with Stephen Marley at the helm! Although this man comes from a reggae family, his hip-hop infused dancehall game is strong, and he blends reggae with soul, hip-hop, and electronic beats. Stephen started his career as a 6-year-old, singing, dancing, and playing percussion with the rest of the little Marley clan in The Melody Makers. Their first single, “Children Playing in the Streets,” was—of course—produced by his father Bob Marley and released in 1979. The eight-time Grammy winning musician and producer founded Ghetto Youths International with his brother Ziggy Marley in 1993 as a way of controlling their own music and helping up-and-coming artists. Stephen spent those early years as a producer, helping PHOTO COURTESY OF TIM BLUHM

his brothers Ziggy and Damian Marley release albums. Stephen released his first solo effort, Mind Control, in 2007, which won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album that year. In 2011, Stephen released his third solo album, The Revelation, Pt. 1: The Root of Life, and his fourth in 2016, Revelation Part II: The Fruit of Life. Babylon will drop the hip-hop-backed rhythmic reggae mic on Saturday, Sept. 7, when Stephen Marley hits the Fremont Theater stage (doors at 7 p.m.; all ages; $40.21 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo.com).

Numbskull and Good Medicine Presents

Mother Hips frontman Tim Bluhm plays the Presqu’ile Winery in Santa Maria on Tuesday, Sept. 10 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $17.50 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $20 at the door). As the primary guitarist and singer for The Mother Hips, Bluhm’s been rocking rootsy tunes on Central Coast stages for a while now. In that time, he’s released

and more dangerous) accident landed him in the hospital. “It changed my outlook on life, and it changed my whole self-image,” Bluhm said in press materials. “It was a humbling thing to be physically incapacitated like that, and it was a reminder of just how fragile we all are. I’m more grateful than ever to be alive right now.” With Dave Schools of Widespread Panic in the producer’s chair and a group of music veterans who joined Bluhm to record the album, Sorta Survivin’ will be released in 2019. American original Junior Brown is so original, he created his own guitar! Calling it the “guit-steel,” the doublenecked instrument was built by Michael Stevens of Stevens Electric Instruments. A combination of a standard guitar and a steel guitar, the creation enables Junior to seamlessly switch guitars in the middle of his songs. I’ve gotta say, that’s talent! Junior is country at heart, and he spent much of the late 1960s and ’70s playing small clubs and honky-tonks across the Southwest. NOT STARKEY continued page 31

“I did so many years of that, night after night, four sets a night, 15-minute breaks; I mean after that, you’ve gotta get good or you gotta get out,” he said in press materials. He released his latest album, Deep In the Heart of Me, with Tanya Rae Brown in 2018. You can’t get more heartbreakingly oldschool country than “So Close Yet So Far Away”: “We survive the storms of life in all kinds of weather/ And we’re as close as two sweethearts could be/ But we’re a husband and wife who can’t be together/ When there’s a thousand miles distance between you and me.” Junior Brown brings his guit-steel to Morro Bay’s The Siren on Thursday, Sept. 12 (7 p.m.; all ages; $25 presale at Boo Boo’s and ticketfly.com or $30 at the door).

The SLO Brew Rock As I mentioned last week, California Roots Presents brings New Zealand roots reggae ambassadors Katchafire to SLO Brew Rock on Thursday, Sept. 5 (8 p.m.; 18-and-older; $21 at slobrew.com). You can bounce, hop, and weave a little to the all-Maori reggae band, which “didn’t come from privilege, they didn’t have famous parents; they were ruff ’n’ tumble youths who had their lives changed by reggae music who have grown into humble husbands and fathers still finding joy spreading the love all over the world,” according to the bio on Katchafire’s website. On Saturday, Sept. 8, SLO Brew celebrates its 31st anniversary at the SLO Brew Rock Event Center with a party worthy of three decades of being. You can toast to the past, present, and future with specials from the original 1988 Garden Street menu while local favorite Moonshiner Collective plays their last show of the year with Dante Marsh (2 p.m.; $10 at slobrew.com or $15 at the door). LA rockers and Tom Petty protégés The Shelters play SLO Brew Rock on Wednesday, Sept. 11 (8 p.m.; 18-andolder; $11 at slobrew.com). Formed in 2015, Petty co-produced their self-titled debut record at his Shoreline Studios. The rollicking, ’60s-inspired album was was released in 2016.

It’s safe to say, The Shelters took Petty’s October 2017 death pretty hard, and fans have been anxiously awaiting their sophomore album, Jupiter Sun, which is scheduled for release on Sept. 20. The Shelters released a single off the album earlier this year, “You’re Different,” and it’s definitely different, but has the same harmonizing rock vocals that characterized them on their first. Caleb Hawley, Damon Castillo, and Joanna Teters play on Thursday, Sept. 12 (8 p.m.; 18-and-older; $10 at slobrew.com or $12 at the door). The triple-band bill comes jam-packed with soulful, one-of-a-kind beats that SLO Brew Rock is hoping will “curate the finest dance party of the summer.”

More music ... They’re not sure how it happened, but a weekly blues jam that was expected to be a short-term thing is turning 10! The Blues Masters Jam Sessions started in September of 2009 at The Clubhouse, a restaurant in SLO that is no longer. They moved around to different spots over the years and landed at Figueroa Mountain Brewing in Arroyo Grande earlier this year. “Many of the fans and musicians who have been with us all along have been telling us how much they enjoy the new location, and some very accomplished players have recently started adding to the heat,” according to press materials. “We couldn’t be happier with our new home.” And they’re in the mood to celebrate! Starting at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11, the orginal hosts will be fronting the band for the official 10th anniversary show. Craig Louis Dingman, who has worked with Code Blues and Big Daddy’s Blues Band, as well as having his own solo guitar and songwriting career, will be the head honcho, and he’ll be joined by original bassist Gary Steinmann. Gary has been working in the SLO music scene since the 1970s. He worked with Al Millan and the Robots, Rancho Deluxe, and if you go far enough into the past, Thunderstrut and Wild Eyed Notion. The host combo will be rounded out by Dean Giles on drums, who works locally with Louie Ortega, Nicole Stromsoe, The Cinders, and many other

groups. His résumé even includes gigs and studio sessions with members of Tower Of Power and The Doors. A constantly changing lineup of musicians will be sitting in with them, and all of the current hosts—including Ted Waterhouse, Andrew Jay Magnussen and Dudlley Dean— are expected to take the stage as well. Cheers to 10 years, and here’s to 20! Allegretto Vineyard Resort in Paso Robles is hosting what it’s calling “not the usual wine-and-nibbles event” on Saturday, Sept. 7. Sip and Taste Paso Robles will bring local farmers, chefs, and restaurants together for cooking demonstrations, special pairings, and all of the adult beverages you can dream up. And “because music is food for the soul,” Shane Hall will be there performing his blues, soul, and Americana music. And Kaleo Wassman from reggae dub sensation, Pepper, will join him—most likely shirtless and in a sweet hat, wailing on the mic and the guitar. The event runs from noon to 4 p.m., tickets are between $65 and $100, and available at eventbrite.com. Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Stoll Vaughan brings his “too country for folk” and “too folk for country” sound to Paso’s Sculpterra winery on Sunday, Sept. 8; the Morro Bay Wine Cellar on Monday, Sept. 9; and Arroyo Grande’s Branch Street Deli on Wednesday, Sept. 11. The free Arroyo Grande Village Summer Concert Series concludes on Sunday, Sept. 8, with ironic country and old times rock and roll—local favorites Monte Mills & The Lucky Horseshoe Band. The free series is presented by the Arroyo Grande Village Improvement Association and the city of Arroyo Grande Recreation Services Department. Concert activities will include a raffle, food, drinks, a kiddie playground, and free tours of historical buildings in Heritage Square Park. Austin-based neo-soul singer Kelly Hafner brings her sultry voice to The Pour House in Paso on Thursday, Sept. 12. Be prepared for a funky-filled night dripping with soul. ∆

Cambrian reflects on 50 years since photographing the festival that shaped a generation

PHOTO BY MALEA MARTIN

PHOTOS COURTESY OF WILLIAM SEAVEY

t was the summer of ’69. William Seavey, today a Cambria resident, had just finished journalism school. He landed a position with Newsweek as a photo intern in New York City, covering what his editors saw fit for his rank. Meanwhile, the press was stirring about a certain summer music festival looking for a venue. Concert producer Michael Lang was pushing his next vision: the Woodstock Music & Art Fair. After securing a location in Bethel, New York, and some major rock ’n’ roll names, tickets began selling fast. “I heard about the festival, and I decided to go,” Seavey told New Times. Gripped by his journalistic instincts, he asked Newsweek to send him on official assignment, but they declined his pitch. It wasn’t just because he was an intern; the outlet didn’t send any staff photographers to the festival, instead opting for photos from an outside agency, Seavey said. To be fair, few expected what would ensue. But Seavey—with a gut feeling that this was going to be big—did what any spurned intern would do: He went anyway. “I had my own film, my own camera, and it was on my own time over a weekend,” Seavey remembered. “Oh, and did I mention I faked a press pass?” Despite getting booted out of the press area multiple times due to his forged pass, Seavey managed to capture stunningly focused photographs of the festival’s rock stars, including Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, John Sebastian, and Richie Havens. But he also paid close attention to the intensity coming from the audience. Some of his photos show the hordes of bodies, scantily dressed in late ’60s festival attire. Another shot features an anonymous man, his eyes transfixed upon the stage, oblivious to the photographer catching his captivation. Another captures shoeless feet, crusted by mud from rain storms that hit during the festival. The event pre-sold close to 200,000 paper tickets, but as Seavey notes, the actual attendance far exceeded preparations. “I had a ticket, but I think by the time I got there it was a free concert,” Seavey said. “It was impossible to control the numbers.” The festival ultimately attracted more than double the anticipated crowd. Seavey, now 72, says his memories of Woodstock are mostly kept alive by his own photos or by documentaries like the recently released PBS special, Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation. “It’s been so many years that I can’t remember how I got there,” Seavey said. “I can’t remember how I got back. I’m not even sure what sheltered me over the two days I was there.” Though Seavey noted that he was not the youngest of attendees—he was in his early 20s and knew someone who was just 14 at

STARSTRUCK Among William Seavey’s Woodstock photos are strikingly focused images of the concert’s biggest stars. Pictured here is American folk singer Joan Baez.

the festival—he expressed concern about Woodstock’s ability to persist within collective cultural evocation. “Woodstock, over time, is going to fade from people’s memories,” he said. With this year marking its 50th anniversary, though, attempts to memorialize Woodstock have made a strong resurgence. Many major news sources ran stories in commemoration. Locally, the SLO Symphony put on Woodstock on the West Coast on Aug. 31. The PBS documentary, as Seavey notes, spotlights the peace, love, and utter chaos that carved Woodstock’s indelible notch in the timeline of music history. For the generations that didn’t experience the festival, Woodstock connotes peace signs and minimally clothed hippies; for some, it rises to utopia status. Often unknown are the downpours and resulting “muddy mess,” as Seavey called it; the acts that performed hours after they were scheduled, some in the early hours of the morning; the exposed wires that, mixed with rain, could have caused mass electrocution; the crowds that went hungry

when the festival ran out of food; the two deaths. “It is idealized,” Seavey acknowledged. But he also emphasized the ways in which festivalgoers walked their “peace ’n’ love” talk. In response to the food shortage, Seavey remembers humunitarian efforts to distribute free food. “Everybody was getting along and cooperating,” he said. In an ever-divided political landscape, it’s that cooperative spirit that baby boomers like Seavey cling to when they remember not just Woodstock, but the era that birthed it. There have been many nostalgia-driven recreation attempts over the years; most recently, Lang himself pushed for Woodstock 50 in an effort to commemorate his famed original. But, as Seavey noted, Lang couldn’t quite pull it off logistically. “It’s really almost tragic,” Seavey said. “He tried everything. … There were a lot of people pulling for him, but he had to throw in the towel. There will never be another Woodstock as far as I can see.” Despite the impossibility of re-creating a romanticized past, Seavey’s photographs and memorabilia—including an original paper ticket from the festival—can aid in remembrance. As the Bryan Adams tune goes, “I guess nothin’ can last forever.” Δ Arts Writer Malea Martin is feeling nostalgic. Send comments and arts story tips to mmartin@newtimesslo.com.

But for Nipomo-based author Bonnie Lady Lee, the start of her career writing children’s books was an obvious choice after an incident in 2005 with her pet parrot, Momo. “He got spooked one afternoon when he was hanging out on my shoulder at a coffee shop on Fillmore Street in San Francisco. … He landed in a tree,” she remembered. “I spent almost 14 hours with my father just trying to get this bird down. Finally, my father jumped up on the tree and shook the branch, and Momo came down and landed back on my shoulder. “I just needed to write it,” she said.

With the help of small-time outlaw Tyler (Shia LeBeouf), and kind nursing home employee, Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), the trio embarks on a Mark Twain-like odyssey. This sweet crowd pleaser hits all the right notes and is enriched by a stellar cast. It opens with 22-year-old Zak, a ward of the state, stuck in a nursing home because the state “has nowhere else to put him.” The nursing home residents love him because he’s a sweet young man, but he doesn’t belong there. His roommate is Carl (an excellent Bruce Dern), who’s exceedingly tired of watching Zak’s old wrestling tapes of his favorite pro wrestler The Salt Water Redneck, aka Clint (an equally excellent Thomas Haden Church), who runs a small wrestling school. Long story short, Zak eventually slips out of the home and is on the road. Meanwhile, we meet Tyler, who’s stealing crabs out of crab pots. Through flashbacks, we learn he had a brother, Mark (Jon Bernthal), with whom he fished but who has since passed away. Tyler’s just trying to get by, but the crab pot owners—Duncan (John Hawkes) and Ratboy (Yelawolf)—are now out to get him, forcing him to run. Tyler at first reluctantly but later joyfully promises to get Zak to the Salt Water Redneck’s wrestling school, and off they go Huck Finn style. This is a small film with a big heart. I loved it.

Although he is Wayne’s mentor, providing him with the necessary martial arts training to later become Batman, Ducard’s true identity is Ra’s al Ghul—the film’s big baddie. What made the reveal interesting was the fact that Batman didn’t have to square off against a costumed villain for once, although we still get one in the form of Dr. Jonathan Crane, aka Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy). Murphy is chilling in the role, although the character is ultimately just one of Ra’s al Ghul’s pawns. The same can be said of mob boss Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson). The film is full of bad guys, which is ironic because its biggest strength is prioritizing focus on Bruce Wayne/Batman (obviously not one of my strengths so far). Prior Batman films were consistently criticized for their “villain of the week” attitude, but Batman Begins was inarguably the first to break that curse. I haven’t even touched on Bale’s performance, which is a massive shame on my part, because he’s brilliant. I get why people love to make fun of his growly Batman voice, but I feel like he gets it just right in this one. It’s the other two where things go overboard (“WHERE’S THE TRIGGER?!”). (140 min.)

Earnestly adored

We end our summer on a witty note, thanks to PCPA’s The Importance of Being Earnest in Solvang

e’re timing it just right, even with traffic. It’s Aug. 29, a Friday, so of course there’s traffic heading south out of SLO. According to Google, we should arrive in Los Olivos at 4:59 p.m., one minute before the Tercero Wines tasting room closes. My husband, Bret, calls ahead and Dawna, who’s working the tasting room, assures us they’ll still be open. Just as predicted, we pull in a minute before 5 and walk in, not expecting to be offered anything more than our wine club shipment. But Dawna generously invites us to pull up a stool in the winery’s new tasting room. After half an hour of sipping and chatting, we leave with two bottles on top of our six-bottle wine club purchase. We slide the case box into the back of the minivan, next to our picnic dinner and bags of coats, scarves, hats, and blankets.

A Wilde time

Tercero Wines’ tasting room is located at 2445 Alamo Pintado Ave., suite 104, in downtown Los Olivos; tercerowines.com. Danish Mill Bakery is located at 1682 Copenhagen Drive, Solvang. The Pacific Conservatory Theater’s (PCPA) production of The Importance of Being Earnest, showing at the outdoor Solvang Festival Theater, ends on Sept. 8. Tickets range from $23 to $62; pcpa.org.

We’ve got two hours before we can take our seats at Solvang’s outdoor Festival Theater, where we’re going to see Pacific Conservatory Theatre’s (PCPA) The Importance of Being Earnest. We drive from Los Olivos to Solvang and park on 2nd Street, just down the block from the theater. When we pick up our tickets from will-call, we learn that the picnic grounds open at 6:45, which gives us enough time to find some predinner dessert—a necessity on a holiday weekend. The girls beg for ice cream, and Bret is set on finding some authentic Danish pastry. We don’t have to look too hard for an open ice cream shop, but the bakery proves to be more difficult to find. The first one we see is closed, so we wander up Copenhagen Drive and the adjacent blocks in search of an amenable purveyor of baked goods.

a homemade label on those Mason jars—all labels need to be compliant with the state and federal guidelines. Aspiring CFOs also need to register, get a permit, and selfcertify; then they must complete a food processor training course and implement the sanitary operations. And cottage operations can’t make too much money—no more than $50,000 per year. A CFO can have one employee, not counting family members. There are two classes of CFOs. Class A goods can be sold directly to the consumer at farmers’ markets or temporary events like school fundraisers. Class B items can be sold both directly to MADE IN MOM’S KITCHEN Stay-at-home the consumer and indirectly to mom Katie Hoffman of Cupcakes by Katie took advantage of the Cottage Foods Act of 2013 to markets, restaurants, bakeries, prepare and sell homemade cupcakes made out of and delis.

f you look closely at the farmers’ markets, on the “local” shelves at the corner stores, and even on the gingham tablecloth on a collapsible table at your local school fundraiser, you’ll be seeing foods made in someone’s townhouse or apartment kitchen. Look for the labels: “Made in a Home Kitchen” or “Repackaged in a Home Kitchen” in 12-point type. These are cottage foods. Passed in 2013, the Cottage Food Bill—aka the California Homemade Food Act—allows ordinary folks to make and package food in their own kitchens and sell it at local farmers’ markets and food co-ops. This law helps amateur cooks and bakers—from stay-at-home moms to college students to caretakers—make ends meet. And they can even make a pretty good living. Katie Hoffman, who runs Cupcakes by Katie out of her Los Osos kitchen, was among many cottage food operators (CFOs) from all over California sharing their wares at the Gourmet Expo in Paso Robles. Her booth at the late-August expo stood alongside wineries and other slightly bigger family outfits, including Mehlenbacher’s Taffy and Best Ever Salsa Company. The process to become an official CFO is fairly simple, but it’s definitely not for hacks or corner-cutters—it takes savvy, business sense, and a dash of organizational prowess. Cottage food operators still need to meet the California Safety Code requirements before sticking

CHIPS AND FAMILY The Twisselmans have been selling their Best Ever Salsa locally for almost 20 years. Here is Curtis—a heavy-equipment operator by day and salsa-maker by night—and full-time salsa-maker and mom Karli Twisselman with their children (from left) Kaysee (age 7), Aidan (12), and Taylor (10).

life, but she started being a CFO when her husband was deployed overseas, right around the time the Cottage Food Act became law. The mother of two kiddos (now 5 and 9 years old), chose cupcakes. She now sells her baked goods for fundraisers, birthdays, pop-ups, graduations, showers, weddings, and whatever community event comes her way. Guinness cupcakes on St. Patrick’s Day, pink Shirley Temple cupcakes topped with maraschino cherries—her creativity goes on and on. I tried two of her best-sellers: the chocolate with salted caramel drizzle and the lemon with blueberry buttercream. There is nothing better than frosting from scratch, and Hoffman knows how to top those cakes with just the right amount of melt-in-your-mouth swirl. Another dynamic local food maker I met at the recent expo is Karli Twisselman— not a CFO but a great example of a successful, local “perishable food” maker. She and her husband, Curtis, started their small, locally owned business in 2015 selling jars of Best Ever Salsa. The Paso Robles family’s Best Ever recipe was passed down from Karli’s great-grandmother, who used to own a Mexican restaurant in SLO. For nearly two decades before they started their business, they’d been giving jars of their homemade salsa as Christmas gifts. With three children in tow (now ages 12, 10, and 7), they leapt into the food production business and found instant success. The Twisselmans sell the salsa at Food 4 Less stores throughout SLO county, J&R Natural Meats in Paso Robles and Templeton, Oak Hill Market in Paso, and many other SLO county markets. They also sell at festivals, expos, and other community events. Karli said she keeps checking to see if salsa has made the state’s list of cottage foods because even though her product is made with farm-fresh produce, it must be labeled to indicate a 90-day shelf life so it needs to be refrigerated and made in a commercial kitchen in Paso. She said it would be a lot easier if her FLAVOR continued page 46

family salsa qualified under the Cottage Food Act. “Trying to find out where to start was challenging,” she said, noting that the county Health Department directed her to the state Health Department to register as a fruit product. She had to be inspected by the state on ingredients sourcing, process, labeling, and facility to get her permit. Karli sources her preservative-free ingredients from The Berry Man and Jordano’s, “for the ease of it,” she said. “They use a lot of local farmers.” The 16-ounce Mason jars of fresh salsa come in three varieties: the mild family style, medium original, and hot “SLO Burn.” My salsa-loving son vouches for the perfection and balance that make it “The Best Ever Salsa Company.” “The name is because that’s what everybody called it,” Karli said with a laugh. Both Karli and Hoffman recommend taking the plunge when it comes to starting up a food business, be it as a CFO or renting a commercial kitchen. Listen for the inspiration; Twisselman’s gift-giving got her moving, and Hoffman said her business started with a cupcake cookbook she received for Mother’s Day. ∆ New Times contributor Beth Giuffre is living her best ever life.

My teenage son and I were walking by a Root Elixir stand at the Inspire Home, Garden, and Gourmet Expo the other day and began sampling these cute little sodas in tiny paper cups. “Oh no!” I said. “We were unsupervised!” The gal working the stand turned around to find we had already downed three or four magical samples. It had just occurred to me that our samples might have contained alcohol. “It’s OK!” she assured me. “They’re non-alcoholic.” I wiped my brow. The effervescent, botanical flavors of the Root Elixirs we had tried were meant to mixed with spirits to create the ultimate craft cocktail, but I was a little slow to figure that out. Plus my son was ready to give up Coca-Cola or Sprite after tasting the strawberry lavender soda—quite perfect on its own. We also tried the ginger beer, cucumber elderflower, and grapefruit jalapeño flavors. The next time I use one as a mixer, I might try their easy recipe for Strawberry Fields: 3 oz strawberry lavender soda plus 5 oz dry Champagne. Garnish with lavender sprig. Root Elixirs can be found at local restaurants: Novo, Luna Red, Inn at the Pier, Vegetable Butcher, Granada Hotel & Bistro, The Station, Fish Gaucho, Thomas Hill Organics, Kru, and Skyview; as well as retail: Lincoln Market, The Station SLO, California Fresh, the HIVE, Depalo & Sons, Third Base Market, SLO Brew Lofts, Niner Estates, Re:Find Distillery, Krobar Distillery, and Wineshine. $6 per Root Elixir. ∆ New Times contributor Beth Giuffre is mixing Strawberry Fields forever.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): John Muir (1838–1914) was skilled at creating and using machinery. In his 20s, he diligently expressed those aptitudes. But at age 27, while working in a carriage parts factory, he suffered an accident that blinded him. For several months, he lay in bed, hoping to recuperate. During that time, Muir decided that if his sight returned, he would thereafter devote it to exploring the beauty of the natural world. The miracle came to pass, and for the rest of his life he traveled and explored the wilds of North America, becoming an influential naturalist, author, and early environmentalist. I’d love to see you respond to one of your smaller setbacks—much less dramatic than Muir’s!—with comparable panache, Aries.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Of all the children on the planet, 3 percent live in the U.S. And yet American children are in possession of 40 percent of the world’s toys. In accordance with astrological omens, I hereby invite you to be like an extravagant American child in the coming weeks. You have cosmic permission to seek maximum fun and treat yourself to zesty entertainment and lose yourself in uninhibited laughter and wow yourself with beguiling games and delightful gizmos. It’s playtime!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The ama are Japanese women whose job it is to dive to the sea bottom and fetch oysters bearing pearls. The water is usually cold, and the workers use no breathing apparatus, depending instead on specialized techniques to hold their breath. I propose we make them your inspirational role models. The next few weeks will be a favorable time, metaphorically speaking, for you to descend into the depths in quest of valuables and inspirations.

(June 21-July 22): Renowned Cancerian neurologist Oliver Sacks believed that music and gardens could be vital curative agents, as therapeutic as pharmaceuticals. My personal view is that walking in nature can be as medicinal as working and lolling in a garden. As for music, I would extend his prescription to include singing and dancing as well as listening. I’m also surprised that Sacks didn’t give equal recognition to the healing power of touch, which can be wondrously rejuvenating, either in its erotic or non-erotic forms. I bring these thoughts to your attention because I suspect the coming weeks will be a Golden Age of nonpharmaceutical healing for you. I’m not suggesting that you stop taking the drugs you need to stay healthy; I simply mean that music, nature, and touch will have an extra-sublime impact on your well-being.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you visualize what ancient Rome looked like, it’s possible you draw on memories of scenes you’ve seen portrayed in movies. The blockbuster film Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott, may be one of those templates. The weird thing is that Gladiator, as well as many other such movies, were inspired by the grandiose paintings of the ancient world done by Dutch artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836–1912). And in many ways, his depictions were not at all factual. I bring this to your attention, Leo, in the hope that it will prod you to question the accuracy and authenticity of your mental pictures. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get fuzzy and incorrect memories into closer alignment with the truth, and to shed any illusions that might be distorting your understanding of reality.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I don’t know if the coming weeks will be an Anais Nin phase for you. But they could be if you want them to. It’s up to you whether you’ll dare to be as lyrical, sensual, deep, expressive, and emotionally rich as she was. In case you decide that YES, you will, here are quotes from Nin that might serve you well. 1. It is easy to love and there are so many ways to do it. 2. My mission, should I choose to

accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. 3. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. 4. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. 5. It was while helping others to be free that I gained my own freedom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “When you’re nailing a custard pie to the wall, and it starts to wilt, it doesn’t do any good to hammer in more nails.” So advised novelist Wallace Stegner. I hope I’m delivering his counsel in time to dissuade you from even trying to nail a custard pie to the wall—or an omelet or potato chip or taco, for that matter. What might be a better use of your energy? You could use the nails to build something that will actually be useful to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I hid my deepest feelings so well I forgot where I placed them,” wrote author Amy Tan. My Scorpio friend Audrey once made a similar confession: “I buried my secrets so completely from the prying curiosity of other people that I lost track of them myself.” If either of those descriptions apply to you, Scorpio, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to secure a remedy. You’ll have extra power and luck if you commune with and celebrate your hidden feelings and buried secrets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “No Eden valid without serpent.” Novelist Wallace Stegner wrote that pithy riff. I think it’s a good motto for you to use in the immediate future. How do you interpret it? Here’s what I think. As you nourish your robust vision of paradise-on-earth, and as you carry out the practical actions that enable you to manifest that vision, it’s wise to have some creative irritant in the midst of it. That bug, that question, that tantalizing mystery is the key to keeping you honest and discerning. It gives credibility and gravitas to your idealistic striving.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coco de mer is a palm tree that grows in the Seychelles. Its seed is huge, weighing as much as forty pounds and having a diameter of nineteen inches. The seed takes seven years to grow into its mature form, then takes an additional two years to germinate. Everything I just said about the coco de mer seed reminds me of you, Capricorn. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ve been working on ripening an awesome seed for a long time and are now in the final phase before it sprouts. The Majestic Budding may not fully kick in until 2020, but I bet you’re already feeling the enjoyable, mysterious pressure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you throw a pool ball or a bronze Buddha statue at a window, the glass will break. In fact, the speed at which it fractures could reach 3,000 miles per hour. Metaphorically speaking, your mental blocks and emotional obstacles are typically not as crackable. You may smack them with your angry probes and bash them with your desperate pleas, yet have little or no effect. But I suspect that in the coming weeks, you’ll have much more power than usual to shatter those vexations. So I hereby invite you to hurl your strongest blasts at your mental blocks and emotional obstacles. Don’t be surprised if they collapse at unexpectedly rapid speeds.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the 13th century, the Italian city of Bologna was serious about guarding the integrity of its cuisine. In 1250, the cheese guild issued a decree proclaiming, “If you make fake mortadella ... your body will be stretched on the rack three times, you will be fined 200 gold coins, and all the food you make will be destroyed.” I appreciate such devotion to purity and authenticity and factualness. And I recommend that in the coming weeks, you commit to comparable standards in your own sphere. Don’t let your own offerings be compromised or corrupted. The same with the offerings you receive from other people. Be impeccable. ∆
