SECOND PLACE, SITTIN’ PRETTY, LAND/SEASCAPE, LUKE TYREE “A waning crescent moon on its way down pauses just above a seastack at sunset in Morro Bay. A very talented photographer friend of mine from out of town, who’s also a savant when it comes to planning, was visiting and called to tell me of a potential moonrise alignment he’d identified. We met up and parked near Morro Rock and then walked north up the beach as the moon got lower and lower in the sky. With our long lenses attached to our cameras and at the ready, we marveled at how pretty the sunset was. There weren’t many people on the beach that evening, so the sound of crashing waves was especially pronounced and beautiful. We re-positioned a couple of feet to the left, to basically ‘place’ the moon (via where we were standing) where we wanted it in relation to the rock. I always love it when a plan comes together. We both walked away with ‘keepers’ that night, and mine ended up being my best-selling photo of 2020.”

APCD questions accuracy of Scripps study on dust at Oceano Dunes

FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

he recently released findings of an ongoing Scripps Institution of Oceanography study are at the center of yet another debate over potentially dangerous dust emissions at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) and what role off-highway vehicle activities play. Scripps is in the second of a three-year investigation into the land and sea sources that contribute to the airborne particulate matter that is often detected in the Oceano Dunes and Nipomo Mesa. On Sept. 20, Scripps released its preliminary results from aerosol measurements conducted in May, and the report suggests that the dust emitted from the Oceano Dunes is both less harmful to human health than previously thought and caused by natural sources rather than human activities. Lynn Russell is a professor of atmospheric chemistry at UC San Diego, and she’s one of the researchers working on the Scripps study, which she said is being funded by State Parks. “We’re just interested in getting the right science out there, so that people can make informed decisions,” Russell told New Times. There are two kinds of particulate matter regulated by federal clean air standards: PM2.5 and PM10. The numbers refer to the diameter of the particles, and any particle with a diameter of 10 microns or less is inhalable and considered potentially dangerous to human health. While sources of PM2.5—combustion particles, metals, and organic compounds—are considered most dangerous to human health, sources of PM10— dust, pollen, and mold—are also often problematic. Russell said Scripps’ recent findings mostly focused on sources of PM2.5 at the Oceano Dunes, which she said were previously attributed to potentially harmful mineral dust and emissions from vehicles at the dunes. But in the May measurements, Scripps researchers found that mineral dust only accounted for a fraction of PM2.5 detected at the dunes, and that a majority

can be attributed to sea salt and other organic components, ammonium, and nitrate blown in from the ocean. “This result means that a substantial fraction of PM2.5 was not associated with fossil-fuel combustion emissions,” the Scripps report reads, “so that PM2.5 is not a good predictor of toxic emissions or health effects for this location in high wind conditions.” “The association of high PM10 and PM2.5 with high wind conditions, even when recreational vehicles were not allowed at Oceano Dunes, indicates that dune-derived mineral dust is more likely to be caused by natural forces (i.e. wind) rather than human activities,” DUST The recently released findings of an ongoing Scripps Institution of Oceanography study suggest that the dust the report continues. “While the short emitted from the Oceano Dunes is less harmful to human duration of this study provides only health than previously thought. limited statistics in support of this result, the longer records provided by the dunes, which he said is caused by vehicle APCD provide additional confirmation. activity in the park. That’s what really makes For this reason, the high dust concentrations the area vulnerable to emitting dust during measured on high wind days in and downwind of high winds, and Willey said that decades-old Oceano Dunes are likely dominated by natural saltation processes associated with the indigenous problem won’t change just because the dunes have been closed to vehicles for six months.

Sweeney, Torres take fundraising lead in SLO city races

this next phase for our city is it needs to be run like a business,” Sweeney told New Times in early September. “It wasn’t even so much that our council wasn’t doing a good job. It was OK, tomorrow is going to be a new beginning.” With their lawn signs often next to one another, Sweeney and Torres reported several of the same donors, ranging from business owners and professionals, to retirees, to local conservative politicians like 5th District SLO County Supervisor Debbie Arnold and 4th District Santa Barbara Supervisor-elect Bob Nelson. According to their disclosures, the two candidates have tapped the same political consulting firms to help run their campaigns— one of which, Pacific Coast Strategies, worked on the opposition to 2018’s Measure G to ban fracking and new oil wells in SLO County. Mayor Harmon, the third highest fundraiser in the race, reported donations from business owners and professionals, retirees, teachers, local Democratic Party members, and liberal 2nd District SLO County Supervisor Bruce Gibson, among others.

San Luis Obispo city election candidates Cherisse Sweeney and Abrianna Torres have jumped out to a commanding lead in campaign fundraising for the Nov. 3 contest—together outraising the race’s 10 other candidates combined, according to Sept. 24 disclosure forms. Mayoral candidate Sweeny, owner of Basalt Interiors downtown, and City Council candidate Torres, a business consultant, have respectively received roughly $36,500 and $30,800 in total contributions as of Sept. 19. The remaining candidates logged $51,330 in combined contributions (a few did not file by a Sept. 24 deadline, indicating they did not receive donations), with incumbent Mayor Heidi Harmon raising about $25,000. The two campaign finance leaders—both challengers in their respective races—are economy-centric allies out of the business community, who emerged as candidates after the COVID-19 crisis. “What I do think we’re lacking right now in

Robles Fire Chief Jonathan Stornetta said. He said fiscal constraints have prevented the department from mitigating the deficiencies more expeditiously. According to Stornetta, the only funding source identified for the department is Measure J-20, a 1 percent sales tax that voters can approve or reject in November. Insurance Services Office is an independent organization that provides insurance companies with property and casualty insurance risk assessments, which help companies establish fair premiums for home and commercial fire insurance. The organization evaluates three elements for fire protection capabilities: the fire department, water supply, and emergency communications. Paso’s fire department received a 32.88 out of 50 due mostly to a shortage of personnel, gaps in coverage areas, a lack of existing engine and ladder-service companies, and no training facility. In the water supply category, Paso received a 33.72 out of 40 due to the ability of the water distribution system to deliver needed fire flows and the number of hydrants available—the department only has two engines and would need three to pass. Inadequate staffing for fire prevention activities caused Paso to receive a 4.51 out of 5.5 for community risk reduction. Paso’s emergency communications received an 8.5 out of 10 due to a lack of dispatch and fire engine software. In total, Paso’s Fire and Emergency Services Department received a score of 75.55 out of 105.5. Stornetta said one of the deficiencies is the department’s average response time. Currently, the average response time for the department is 5 minutes and 26 seconds, however the City Council adopted a response goal of four minutes or less to 90 percent of all emergencies. Stornetta said the department is meeting that goal 56 percent of the time. In 2017, the department hit that goal 45 percent of the time with an average response time of 6 minutes and 31 seconds. As response times continued to deteriorate, Stornetta said, the council allocated money to hire six additional firefighters in 2018 and staffed a paramedic squad. The move increased the department’s response capabilities by 50 percent and improved the response times to its current level, Stornetta said. “Two of the largest reasons our response times are so long is due to simultaneous calls and geographical travel distances between only two staffed fire stations. Prior to implementation of the squad, we had over 750 simultaneous calls in 2017,” he said. In 2018, the Paso Robles City Council presented an analysis outlining the staffing and response equipment needed over the next 10 years. Stornetta said the city has taken several steps to plan for additional staffing, and the department is currently preparing a standards of cover plan and strategic plan to further address the gaps in services. Paso placed Measure J-20 on the November ballot to help fund these goals. The 1 cent general sales tax would maintain services such as fire protection, paramedic services, wildfire and natural disaster emergency preparedness, 911 emergency response times, public safety, equipping first responders, fixing streets/ potholes, school protective services, or other local priorities that the City Council and community may identify. It’s the only funding source the city has identified to elevate its Fire and Emergency Services Department.

“We will continue to have longer response times, decreased quality of care, and an increased risk to the community without a funding source to improve our operational effectiveness,” Stornetta said. “A community without a sufficient and effective firefighting force is more vulnerable to large negative consequences of unwanted fires, and outcomes from risk events are more likely to be negative.” —Karen Garcia

Looming water rate increase causes confusion in Nipomo

Customers of the Nipomo Community Services District (CSD) will see an increase to their water bills starting on Dec. 1, but how much more customers will be charged is causing confusion among residents. The Nipomo CSD is in the middle of a five-year rate plan approved by the board in 2017 that adjusts water rates incrementally each year until Dec. 1, 2021. As a part of that plan, Nipomo CSD General Manager Mario Iglesias said, a 14.7 percent water rate increase is scheduled to take effect on Dec. 1 of this year. But because of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic downturn, much of Nipomo’s community is struggling financially, and Iglesias said the Nipomo CSD board felt such a rate hike would be burdensome to its already hurting customers. Now, the Nipomo CSD is proposing a 4.5 percent water rate increase to take effect in December, a significantly lower amount than initially planned. “In essence,” Iglesias told New Times, “the board is trying to reduce the burden on the community.” But some Nipomo residents are protesting the increase, a process that, in official terms, requires CSD customers to send protest letters to staff. Normally the CSD can’t implement a proposed rate hike if 51 percent of customers send in official protest letters. As of Sept. 29, Iglesias had received eight letters protesting the rate increase coming on Dec. 1, but this time, he said customers are unwittingly protesting the proposed reduction to the scheduled rate increase. An increase of some kind is inevitable, he said, because it was already approved in 2017 and wasn’t adequately protested at the time. What’s up for debate now, he said, is the proposed 10 percent reduction to the coming increase. To add to the confusion, the Nipomo CSD is also studying its future water rate plan two years earlier than it normally would. That, Iglesias said, is because the CSD is attempting to plan ahead for the revenue that would be lost without the full 14.7 percent rate increase initially scheduled. The district plans to use reserve funds to make up for most of that lost revenue, but Iglesias said other significant challenges lie ahead too, and additional rate increases are now also being proposed for each year until 2025. Customers can protest those water rate increases, and will have to do so before the close of the CSD’s public hearing on the matter, which starts at 9 a.m. on Oct. 28. But Nipomo CSD customer Carla Haynie said the protest letter process is already confusing and challenging for people, and that’s especially true with the complexities of this situation. For a protest letter to be counted, it has to be written by the owner of the parcel, it has to include a statement of protest against the increase, a customer address, and the property’s assessor’s parcel number (APN).

6 • New Times • October 1 - October 8, 2020 • www.newtimesslo.com

Haynie said renters can’t protest at all, and most homeowners don’t just have their home’s APN lying around or the time to find it. “It’s not particularly hard,” Haynie said, “but it is if you don’t speak English and you don’t have a computer and you’re working 20 hours a day or whatever it is.” There’s not a lot of time left for customers to protest, Haynie said, and all the confusion isn’t making it easier to get the word out. “So the deck is totally stacked against us,” she said. —Kasey Bubnash

SLO County Sheriff’s Office talks gangs after recent shoot-out

A traffic stop on a wanted felon in Templeton on Sept. 24 led to an exchange of gunfire between the suspect and sheriff’s deputies, injuring one deputy and resulting in the death of the suspect. San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson indentified the suspect as a member of a white supremacist gang and stated at a press conference the following day that it’s a gang “centered out of San Luis Obispo that we’re quiet familiar with.” The suspect, Christopher Straub, 38, had been booked 28 times into jails all across California, including two stints in state prison. Straub ambushed deputies after fleeing on foot from a traffic stop, fired at the deputies, and deputies returned fire. Sheriff’s Office Deputy Richard “Ted” Lehnhoff, 34, sustained a leg injury during the incident. According to the Sheriff’s Office, the Sheriff’s Gang Task Force was already investigating Straub when the incident occured. The task force has helped convict multiple members of the same gang who were sentenced to state prison. Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Tony Cipolla told New Times that they were unable to disclose the name of the gang. “There is a concern about disclosing the name of the gang due to gangs thriving off of notoriety, intimidation, and fear within the community. It is not the Sheriff’s Office’s practice to allow any gang we come in contact with to gain notoriety in order to bolster their status,” Cipolla said. The Sheriff’s Office wouldn’t disclose the gang’s territory or how long it’s been under investigation. After the incident, deputies discovered multiple guns in Straub’s vehicle, and a search warrant served at his residence found that he was illegally manufacturing parts for weapons. During the Sept. 25 press conference, Parkinson was asked whether the public should be concerned about the presence of a heavily armed white surpremacist gang operating within the county. “Just because he’s in a white surpremacist gang doesn’t mean that they’re targeting necessarily minorities for their crimes,” Parkinson said. “They’re still a gang. They’re still making money conducting criminal behavior. I think any gang in the county should be of concern to the public.” Cipolla said there is a misconception about white supremacist gangs and what they do. Gangs were born out of the necessity for protection within prisons, he said, and are generally aligned by race. These gangs have translated into criminal street gangs out of the correctional system and into the communities.

“When someone says a person is a member of a white supremacist gang, they are generally aligning on a white ideation and primarily white within the gang. However, a common theme through all gangs is the criminal enterprise they are trying to accomplish and the ability to make money,” Cipolla said. He said, from “our experience in San Luis Obispo County, the white supremist gangs do not specifically target people of color to commit crimes against.” “This is not a blanket statement, and we are not saying that white supremist gangs never commit crimes against people of color. The better way to think of this question is that white supremacist gangs are more geared around themselves and ensuring their own membership is white and consistent in their ideals.” Currently, the Sheriff’s Office is consistently contacting and investigating eight gangs within San Luis Obispo County, a number that changes often, Cipolla said. —Karen Garcia

Prado homeless shelter hit with first COVID-19 cases

San Luis Obispo County’s largest homeless shelter experienced its first cases of COVID-19 this month. A resident at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center in SLO tested positive for the virus on Sept. 3, according to Grace McIntosh, deputy director of the Community Action Partnership of SLO County (CAPSLO), and since then, two additional individuals in the shelter tested positive. All three were asymptomatic, McIntosh said, and were relocated by SLO County Public Health to a trailer or motel room to quarantine. The spread appeared to stop there, as all 40 Prado residents and staff tested negative for COVID-19 on Sept. 29, she said. The initial case, found in a man who had been hospitalized for unrelated reasons, kicked off an intensive investigation into whether the virus had spread throughout the 40 Prado facility. The shelter closed its doors to new residents as Public Health officials conducted frequent and mass testing to locate additional positives. “We don’t want to have a widespread— and we don’t have a widespread— infection,” McIntosh said. “You have to go through the whole contact tracing. He was in contact with everybody.” Since March, McIntosh said 40 Prado has taken steps to protect against COVID-19 by reducing its bed capacity from 100 to 70, social distancing, and requiring masks and other protocols. It has trailers on-site for residents who are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. “We’re being very, very careful,” she said. The shelter remains closed to new residents until it’s cleared by SLO County Public Health to reopen, which may take a week. “The clock starts this week,” McIntosh said. —Peter Johnson

Unraveling Battle erupts over Natural Healing Center dispensary as investor sues founder over alleged malfeasance

top investor in one of San Luis Obispo County’s most prominent cannabis businessmen described him in a recent lawsuit as an “unscrupulous con man” who’s siphoned company funds, is in hot water with federal authorities, and should be removed as head of his businesses. Helios Dayspring, co-owner and founder of Natural Healing Center dispensary in Grover Beach, faces a civil lawsuit from 81-year-old William Szymczak—an early supporter and investor and a former director in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lawsuit filed on Aug. 17 in SLO County Superior Court claims that Szymczak recently learned that the companies he invested at least $15 million into in 2018 were being “grossly mismanaged” by Dayspring—pointing to criminal investigations, late tax payments, and the alleged diversion of millions of dollars in company funds for Dayspring’s benefit. Asserting fraud, breach of contract and fiduciary duty, and other claims, Szymczak is asking a judge to appoint a neutral receiver to take over company management until the litigation plays out. A court hearing on the motion is slated for Oct. 21. “Unless a receiver is appointed, the companies cannot operate properly,” Szymczak’s lawyers argue in court filings, “they will continue to be drained of funds, and they face irreparable damage … that would cause creditors to go unpaid and jobs to be lost forever.” Among Szymczak’s claims are that Dayspring used company funds to pay for his personal legal expenses related to FBI and IRS investigations, that he distributed more than $1 million in profits to himself this year without paying any to Szymczak, and that he improperly advanced money from his Grover Beach dispensary to other fledging projects while the companies fell into “financial peril.” Dayspring, a well-known Central Coast cannabis entrepreneur and Morro Bay High School grad, is “vigorously denying” the allegations. In court filings, Dayspring called the lawsuit “a transparent attempt … to try to seize for himself alone the highly successful cannabis business that I started about a decade before Szymczak’s involvement, which I have successfully managed and grown.” In a statement to New Times, Dayspring’s attorney, Marc Smith, said that the lawsuit “asserts numerous misrepresentations and distortions of facts.” “We are confident that the evidence will show that the allegations made by Mr. Szymczak are without merit,” Smith said. Szymczak’s attorney, Miles Feldman, countered in a statement to New Times. “Bill seeks full transparency, sound business

practices, and compliance with all applicable cannabis laws and regulations. Bill looks forward to presenting all of the facts and evidence to the judge and a jury. Bill believes that sunlight is the best disinfectant,” Feldman said. The dispute hits as Natural Healing Center was poised to open two new dispensaries in the cities of SLO and Morro Bay and commence cannabis farming activities throughout SLO County, as it’s received several scarce land-use permits from local governments. The company also recently purchased a building in Orcutt for a future dispensary and has operations underway in the Central Valley.

Ugly breakup

Szymczak’s lawsuit weaves a story of a once-promising business partnership gone awry after he was “shocked and horrified” to find out that Dayspring—in increasing legal and financial trouble—had been “using company funds as though they were his own private checking account.” In contrast, Dayspring and his colleagues portray Szymczak as a “formerly happy, now disgruntled” minority owner who was fully aware and supportive of Dayspring’s management decisions. In court filings, Dayspring claimed he and Szymczak were “incredibly close.” Their partnership began in early 2018. Szymczak, a career real estate executive and former senior official at HUD, was looking to plant a stake in California’s newly legalized cannabis market. Dayspring, already in the cannabis industry before Proposition 64 passed, needed investors to help him grow his existing enterprise in SLO and Santa Barbara counties. Persuaded that Dayspring was a good bet, Szymczak invested at least $15 million to help him buy property to pursue his cannabis ventures, which included a portfolio of local farms and a dispensary in Grover Beach, according to court records. In return, Szymczak received a 30 percent ownership stake. “Dayspring assured me that he was meticulous and ethical in his business dealings and was specially situated through his local relationships to work effectively with the appropriate regulatory, permitting, and licensing committees and the key officials,” Szymczak wrote in court filings. In mid-2018, Natural Healing Center opened in Grover Beach and Dayspring

applied for cultivation permits in SLO County. In the ensuing months, the company also secured dispensary permits in SLO and Morro Bay and began discussing plans for Lemoore, Orcutt, and Turlock. But, according to Szymczak, the venture began to unravel in 2020. Court records indicate that Dayspring is facing investigations from the FBI and IRS and that earlier this year, the FBI searched his home on Los Osos Valley Road. While the FBI declined to comment on any investigations, Dayspring acknowledged the inquiries and search in court documents—tying them to “a potential tax liability from the Proposition 215 time period,” or before recreational cannabis was legalized. In May, Natural Healing Center hired a new chief financial officer, who, according to Szymczak, began sharing more detailed financial reports on the businesses with him—reports indicating that the businesses were running out of cash. After that, Szymczak said he discovered Dayspring’s alleged use of company funds for personal legal expenses, his “direct” taking of cash without making distributions to other members, late payments on company taxes, and use of funds to subsidize other dispensary projects in which Szymczak did not have a stake. While Szymczak described Dayspring’s conduct as fraudulent and self-dealing, Dayspring denied that he acted improperly. He said that Szymczak “greenlit all of my movement and my actions” and claimed he was given “full approval … to invest all proceeds from Natural Healing Center in any way I chose.” The company’s chief financial officer, who provided the reports to Szymczak, wrote a declaration in court defending Dayspring, calling the allegations “misleading and inaccurate.” Szymczak is asking a judge to appoint a receiver to run the company while his litigation pursues a full financial accounting of Natural Healing Center and its ancillaries; a declaration of rights between all its members; damages; and the permanent removal of Dayspring as a manager. “I had trusted Mr. Dayspring to use my capital and our profits for our shared benefit through the businesses he was running,” Szymczak said in court records. “I gave him wide breadth to do so, too wide as it turns out, and I put far more trust in his judgment than I should have.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

ince 2018, the Gala Pride and Diversity Center has had a goal to offer direct therapy services to its community. Center Executive Director Michelle Call said it’s always been at the top of the list, but there wasn’t a clear path forward to make it happen. In the last three years, Call and the board of directors worked diligently to make several changes to the organization including a new name, altering the organization’s bylaws, and adding new support groups for the community. Although the center has taken some goals off its list, Call said the ability to offer direct-therapy services was still in the back of her mind.

Opinion Lockstep politics in San Simeon

The San Simeon Community Services District won’t have to hold an election for the second time in row because so few are interested, or are unaware of the process, to run for office. The tiny disadvantaged community of only 460 people has just 184 registered voters who would be eligible to sit on the board of five. Due to some appointments and terms expiring, four of the five seats were up for the 2020 election. With Will Carson not up for reelection, only three incumbents— Gwen Kellas, Bill Mauer, and John Russell—made their way to the SLO County Clerk-Recorder’s Office to sign up, leaving one seat open. Coincidentally, this trio of incumbents and the district’s general manager, Charles Grace, are under investigation by the Fair Political Practices Commission for various conflicts of interest. Apparently, the fourth incumbent, Daniel De La Rosa, was unaware that he needed to sign up due to having only recently been appointed to the board in June. This leaves his seat open for any qualified person to ask for an appointment to the San Simeon CSD board by the county Board of Supervisors. Unfortunately, the San Simeon CSD board has already made its recommendation for De La Rosa to be re-appointed. This decision was made without informing the other 179 eligible citizens that they too could be considered. If you are a registered voter residing in San Simeon and want to be considered for the vacant board seat, make your wishes known to the county Board of Supervisors before they take action to affirm the CSD’s recommendation of De La Rosa. You are encouraged to reach out to 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson ahead of time to make him fully aware of your interest in serving and request his support. It is also

Think, question, evaluate

Two kids I teach were arguing whether scrub jays were real. One child was adamant they weren’t, another insisted they were. Their friends took sides based on loyalty. I challenged them to research it with their parents. The next day I asked what they found. Most said their view was upheld, until I told them that I had also researched it and a photo popped up immediately. Nearly all of them admitted they hadn’t really looked—they just believed their friend was right. Talk about a teaching moment! We talked about how loyalty is good, but that it’s important to be curious for ourselves. How people can be good and be incorrect at the same time. How we can want something thing to be true, but how crucial it is to still ask why we believe it. How vital it is to receive new information and explore its sources. How to discuss differing views with respect and openness. Critical thinking is a learned skill. There’s a difference between information and fact, between loyalty and blindness. Opinions are valid, but not paramount. Teach your child to think, to question and evaluate, to be independent. We adults could probably use a refresher too.

Pierson and Gray for Cambria CSD

As proud residents of Cambria for more than two decades, we are pleased to support two outstanding candidates for the Cambria Community Services District board this year: David Pierson and Tom Gray. Each has served our community with distinction, and each is prepared to continue to work with diverse community interest groups to find workable solutions to our local problems. These are intelligent, hard-working individuals who encourage civil discourse; they listen well and they treat all citizens with dignity. They are the kind of “good government” leaders we need during the challenging times in which we live. Like many others in our town, we are particularly concerned about two significant challenges that Cambria faces: a) we need infrastructure to provide a sustainable water supply, and b) we need good fire protection/forest management programs. We are confident that David Pierson and Tom Gray will provide the leadership needed to bring the town together with sound solutions to these issues. Bob and Susan Detweiler Cambria

My, what a beautiful, pristine 3-mile stretch of beach the public has been able to enjoy in Oceano, just south of Pier Avenue, since the COVID-19 restrictions were implemented.

Letters from weapons of mass destruction as the off-road crowd is gearing up for the onslaught. There are subtle signs that State Parks is preparing to open the area up again. The bulges at Kern and Fresno county lines are palpable as the congregation is in a four-wheel stance ready to wreak havoc on another county’s property! Not their own county! When State Parks unleashes the tigers, they will once again bring with them noise and air pollution, trash, utter destruction of the beach and dunes, and, of course, death. The California Coastal Commission is the only hope for a delay of the devastation. Our SLO County supervisorial three blind mice turn deaf ears to this subject. Leader Lynn (“I never promised you a rose garden”) Compton, Jumpin’ John Flash (“buy our gas, gas, gas”) Peschong and Dutiful Debbie (“I will follow them”) Arnold pander to State Parks’ incessant needs to gain as much revenue out of the maddening crowd that descends upon the area, as State Parks basically turns its back on the locals. During this COVID-19 period, it has been proven that the local economy still thrives, as tourists still spend gobs of money in our coastal area. Why devastate the beach, dunes, and our air quality for the sake of more money? I am not an environmentalist nor a liberal person. I actually consider myself a moderate conservative who lists to the right. I am, however, simply a human being who sees an abhorrent event taking place in a natural environment that is so unnecessary. It defies logic. Unfortunately State Parks will win out in the end as money and mayhem will once again lead to our doomed dunes. So sad. Michael Elliott Arroyo Grande LETTERS continued page 11

Breaking through the partisan divide

Wow. I want to commend Democrat Arroyo Grande Mayor Caren Ray Russom for putting her community above partisan politics and publicly endorsing Jordan Cunningham for state Assembly. It’s not every day that a sitting elected official endorses another sitting elected official from another party, especially in the age of hyper-partisanship. But Mayor Russom seems to be able to put politics aside when it comes to doing what’s right for our community and region. Mayor Russom’s endorsement of Cunningham’s reelection shows that it’s possible to break through the partisan divide that makes it impossible for this country to function properly. Kudos to her for showing the rest of our county’s electeds how it’s supposed to be done. It’s a well-deserved endorsement for Cunningham. Gabriella Clayton Paso Robles

Vote your pocketbook

Morro Bay’s Water Reclamation Facility is making progress as hoped and expected. After the years-long effort that city leadership and citizens endured, it is a relief to see the ongoing construction and imagine the rewards when it is finished. What Morro Bay citizens have learned, though, is that we cannot take our progress for granted. Voter approval of this project was demonstrated fully in eight democratic processes, proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that the majority supports it. Yet we cannot take our eye off the ball. We must continue to cast our votes for the leaders who have brought us this far and bring on new leaders who understand what we have been through and what is at risk. Mayor John Headding, City Councilmember Red Davis, and candidate Laurel Barton have each stated their commitment to the success and completion of this ambitious infrastructure project. Their forwardlooking plans for Morro Bay will keep us headed for a better future at the most affordable rates that we will ever see again. Especially now, vote your pocketbook.

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AMY HEWES

Activist origins L ast week I had the kind of experience that inspires me to persist against the forces that seem monolithically intent on the antidemocratic accrual of power and the destruction of the planet. I spent a Zoom hour with Elena Bingham, a 36-year-old nurse and mom who has never been political. When a Republican friend challenged her to prove that Trump is a racist, Bingham found herself tongue-tied and in tears. Despite her upwelling passion, she admits she’s in the early throes of political awareness. “I can’t stop thinking about my friend Rocky in the small Arizona mining town where I grew up. He was the only person I ever heard talk about saving the environment, the only person I knew who drove two hours to recycle,” she said. “But he planted a seed in me.” Bingham came to realize that “there was a world outside of our little bubble.” Then COVID-19 and Back Lives Matter made Bingham see the inequities faced by low-income families and people of color. “I’m coming to understand we do have power with our voices,” she said. Bingham’s first step was to volunteer with the SLO County Democratic Party. She is one of the 100 or so community members I’ve helped train to make calls as part of the get out the vote effort.

Phone banking is not particularly comfortable: It’s not easy interrupting strangers to urge them to vote and support Democratic candidates. While some volunteers have had experience with political advocacy, a great many have never done this type of campaigning. They signed on because they felt compelled to do something about the Trump GOP’s attack on equality, health care, and the planet—not to mention the perversion of both truth and norms of civil decency. What makes any of us take the step into activism? In talking with fellow activists, I discovered a shared sense of urgency in this moment, a collective and personal reckoning founded on a love of humanity. Atascadero Democrat Bill Alexander told me, “My tipping point became this: Would I stand on the sidelines forever, and let other people do the heavy lifting trying to improve and safeguard our democracy?” Wanting to be able to “look himself in the mirror,” Alexander found that activism improves not only his community but his sanity. For many activists, our political origin story begins in our heart and soul, as Allene Villa, an Oceano Community Services District board member, puts it. A Latina socialized to accept the status quo,

Villa asserted, “I’m an activist because of the pain of injustice, which I have lived with all my life. You know in your soul that it’s not right, and if I get killed because I stand up for justice, so be it.” Villa’s America is in crisis: Breonna Taylor is wrongfully dead, and her killers are scot-free. The ice caps are calving, and the president wants to wipe out hardwon clean water and air protections. “Even if Trump wins,” Villa promises, “I will go on using my voice because he has woken us up to the racism in America; he has, ironically, woken us up to see that we can be better.” Soft-spoken retiree Ronda McKible became an activist three years ago when she learned that Phillips 66 was trying to deliver crude oil by train across her “back yard” on the Nipomo Mesa. That’s when she met Jimmy Paulding, who ran a close race against Supervisor Lynn Compton in 2018. McKible thought, “Gee, he’s got good ideas and he’s on the side of right, maybe I can help. The next thing I know, I’m the field organizer for his campaign, pushing me way outside my comfort zone.” Activists inhabit hope—and no more so than the young people who have taken up the mantle of progressive change. Cheyanne Holliday, a senior at Paso Robles High School, founded Activists Coalition for Tomorrow (ACT) club, which has sponsored a climate strike, a Coming Out Day, and a Black Lives Matter chalkart action.

“I’m 17,” she said. “It’s not fair that I have to think about my beautiful planet dying. But the reality is that adults and our government are not doing enough, so we as student activists feel compelled to take action. We may not have the right to vote, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a voice!” Like Elena Bingham, Holliday is creating a space to fight for justice. She reminds me how I felt 45 years ago admiring long-committed community warriors who led early demonstrations against eco-ruinous power companies. As then, the fight is not lost. While the nation’s president claims Black Americans are treated no differently than their fellow citizens, that Nazis can be good people, that climate change is a hoax, that the despotic Russian president hasn’t influenced American democracy, that international quid pro quo bribery is the executive’s right, etc., etc., well, we would all do well to remember that armies of Americans are rising up to challenge. The time is now that these good citizens inspire us all to seize the word at the heart of their identity: that is, to act. And the first, most critical action is to vote. “I want to be a 90-year-old at a Women’s March!” Holliday said. “But if we unite now, maybe we won’t need one.” ∆ Amy Hewes is a grassroots activist.

Opinion Stand and be counted

very 10 years the feds do a nationwide roll call. “Shredder, are you here?” “Present, sir!” That way the government knows how many people are here, where they live, and their race (“The human race?”). They use these numbers to decide how many seats to apportion in the House of Representatives, to aid in redistricting to ensure everyone’s voting power is equivalent (Cough! Electoral College? Ack!), to fairly distribute government funding, to aid in decision-making, and for emergency response in case of natural disaster (How many rolls of paper towels will Trump need to throw at Puerto Ricans this hurricane season?). It’s important to get an accurate count, but not everyone wants one, especially Teflon Don tRump, who thinks the fewer people of color and noncitizens counted the better. Remember his attempt to add a citizenship question? He’s also been trying to wrap up the census early because, let’s face it, folks on the margins are the least likely to have filled in the forms, so to get them counted requires door-to-door canvassing, which Yammering Don doesn’t want. Why does it matter? According to research from George Washington University, for each person missed in the 2010 census, that person’s state lost $1,091 in federal funding for Medicaid and child welfare programs. So, isn’t it curious that the U.S. Census Bureau closed its

Central Coast regional office in Ventura? A federal judge had to put the kibosh on ending the census early, ruling that census activities must resume through Oct. 31, and yet—poof!—we no longer have a functioning census office here. Will those farmworkers, rural residents, the poor without internet connection, people of color, or others on the margins get counted? How much will California lose in federal funding over the next decade because of this little maneuver? If you’re out there and haven’t counted yourself in the 2020 census, you can still respond online or by phone. Don’t get counted out! Speaking of apportioning funding, let’s talk about Measure Y, Measure G, and now Measure G-20. It’s about SLO city sales tax that the city gets to control (and spend, spend, spend, baby!). Currently we get about a penny back from the 7.25 cents the state collects in sales tax. Most people won’t even bend over to pick up a penny, but they add up. In 2006, Y added a half cent sales tax that had a “sunset clause,” but does the sun ever set on the city’s need for more revenue? No way, Jose, so along came Measure G in 2014 to continue the sales tax, and now citizens are being asked to vote on Measure G-20, a 1.5 cent sales tax, to provide revenue to do some boring but necessary stuff like “fire/ community safety,” “emergency/disaster preparedness,” and maintain “streets and other general services”; some altruistic

The Shredder stuff like “youth/ senior services” and “address homelessness”; and some environmental stuff like “keep public areas clean/ safe” and “protect creeks from pollution.” Sounds fine, but I’ve also heard supporters claim we’ll finally dredge Laguna Lake and buy more open space, but come on! San Luis Obispo has— what?—$150 million to $165 million in unfunded pension liability, and our economy is flailing, and we’re headed for recession. Are we going to get sexy stuff like a dredged lake and more open space? I doubt it, but without Measure G-20, the city will be screwed! Right about now I can feel some heads exploding as anti-tax warriors start screaming about how we’re already overtaxed. We pay 47.3 cents per gallon in gasoline tax! Wah! There’s state income tax, federal income tax, property tax, estate tax, etcetera. Well, get over it! Who do you think you are? Donald “$750 a year in income tax” Trump? No, you have to play by the rules! We may not get nice things, but the city desperately needs G-20 revenue to keep things humming and meet its pension liabilities. Are city employees overpaid? Maybe. Do you wish you were getting $90K a year in retirement money? Hell, yes you do! But that was the deal city employees made, and you don’t renege on the deal.

Speaking of the economy and deals, when is SLO County going to make one for commercial renters who’ve been decimated by the pandemic? Santa Barbara County just passed an ordinance putting a moratorium on commercial evictions, basically filling the gaps left by the statewide moratorium created by Assembly Bill 3088 that protects residents from eviction. Come on, SLO County Board of Supervisors! Let’s not lose more businesses unnecessarily. And sorry, but is SLO County Sheriff Ian “Racism? Nah!” Parkinson a total rube? After sheriff’s deputies shot and killed known white supremist gang member Christopher Michael Straub of Templeton, who ambushed the deputies, Parkinson dismissed the problem of a white supremacist gang operating in the county: “Just because he’s in a white supremacist gang doesn’t mean that they’re targeting necessarily minorities for their crimes.” Really? Are they a benevolent white power gang? Is this another “nothing to see here, move along” moment? What about the three people recently arrested for the murder and dismembering of their associate Joseph Martin Govey in Nipomo. Govey was apparently connected with the charmingly titled white power group Pubic Enemy Number One Death Squad. Don’t worry? Riiight. ∆ The Shredder is counted in.

WINNING IMAGES 2020

FIRST PLACE & BEST OF SHOW, ELEPHANTS AND WATER, MASHATU, TRAVEL, BRUCE FRASER “The matriarch leads the herd to the watering hole and takes the first drink. This is shot from a ‘hide,’ a recessed blind at the water level. Botswana 2019.”

Central Coast photographers show off their best perspectives in New Times’ annual Winning Images contest The 2020 judges Brittany App is a local photographer, filmmaker, and voice artist. She grew up in Los Osos and now lives off-grid on the Carrizo Plain with her rescue-dog, Luna, and seven little ducks. Her first feature-length documentary film, titled Where There Once Was Water, will hit the film festival circuit in 2021. Now, more than ever, she lives by these words from Howard Thurman, “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” San Luis Obispo native and perennial Winning Images judge Peggy Mesler is a photographer and the owner of The Photo Shop in SLO, where she shares her appreciation for—and knowledge of—photography with customers, clients, and friends. Peggy graduated with a journalism degree from Cal Poly, and she opened her shop in 1995.

Stephanie Secrest has a master’s degree in photojournalism from Ohio University. She’s been a freelancer for more than 15 years and was with the press for 21 years before that. Stephanie was invited to attend the exclusive Eddie Adams Workshop, a top honor for photojournalists. She was also a pre-qualification judge for Adobe with their ADAA contest. She’s been published in Newsday, The London Sunday News Magazine, The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, The Baltimore Sun, and San Francisco Chronicle among others and was chief photographer and photo editor for two newspapers. ∆

hotographs capture moments, emotions, and thoughts without words. Those images are as unique as the perspective of the person holding the camera. They encapsulate time periods, places, and people. Since 1994, New Times Media Group has invited local photographers to show us life from their point of view in our annual Winning Images contest. This year, because of COVID-19, we conducted an all-digital contest and received more than 650 photos. Our judges narrowed them down to three winners each in eight categories, plus eight honorable mentions and three judges’ picks.

Every entry also came in with a $10 fee, which will be rolled back into prize money for the winners, who also receive awards from the contest’s sponsors. While you can see the winning images from 2020 on the following pages, you can also view them around downtown San Luis Obispo throughout the month of October. Winners are showcased by category in eight storefronts (see map on newtimesslo.com), with the full show available at The Photo Shop, 1027 Marsh St. ∆ Contact Editor Camillia Lanham at clanham@ newtimesslo.com.

HONORABLE MENTION, PATTERNS OF GROWTH, OPEN, NIC STOVER PHOTO COURTESY OF PEGGY MESLER

PHOTO COURTESY OF STEPHANIE SECREST

“At an elevation of 11,000 feet in the Sierras on a sunrise morning, you would expect a photographer to have their camera transfixed on the majestic peaks, but what stole my attention that morning was not in the skies above but on the outside of something less majestic. A tree. Not just any tree. In this case it was/is a dead foxtail pine. These patterns in this tree species were unlike any other branch patterns I have ever encountered as the tree struggled to grow around its own branches. The branches had long since fallen, but the depth of the wooden channels and patterns that remained captivated me.”

WINNING IMAGES 2020

FIRST PLACE, FAMILY TIME, ANIMALS, LANCE WILSON “I saw the entire family looking out at the mountains in the distance and I just had to capture the intimate moment. I achieved this picture by going out before sunrise every day for 20 days to capture the perfect moment. When I saw this interaction I took as many photos as I could. It is special to me because I got to witness the bonding between the foxes and their mother, and I know I am very lucky to have been able to watch these red foxes live their lives.”

THIRD PLACE, FINGER FOOD, ANIMALS, DAVID LAWRENCE “Great blue herons are common in our county, but often are seen near water. This bird was in grassland, hunting (successfully!) gophers.”

SECOND PLACE, BREACHING WITH BARNACLES, ANIMALS, CHERYL STRAHL “It was almost a year ago that I was on a whale-watching trip out of Port San Luis on the San Luis Bay near Avila Beach. This was an amazing sighting—one that I will never forget! A humpback whale breaching is indeed a rare sight so close to home!”

JUDGES’ PICK, SEAL, PEOPLE, ANDY SAMARASENA “I took this picture at Chumash Casino—Seal concert. The light falling across his face really accentuated the scars on his face that really made him stand out in a crowd.”

NEW TIMES 25TH ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST

FIRST PLACE, A FLOWER REVEALED IN A PETAL, FLORA, TIM BENNETT “Wetting this petal produced a droplet, which revealed an image of the flower behind it. Close-up photos have some special secrets.”

SECOND PLACE, FROM BETSY’S GARDEN, FLORA, CAROLYN EICHER “I love creating images from flowers grown locally in San Luis Obispo County. This passionflower is from my friend Betsy’s garden in Cayucos. I am in awe of these magnificent flowers. For this image, I used an old Canon macro lens I’ve had for years!”

THIRD PLACE, BLOSSOM, FLORA, BRIAN J. MATIS “I was out for an evening photowalk with my macro lens. Along part of my route I found some gorgeous cherry blossoms that were in full bloom and so of course I stopped to photograph them. In spite of the light breeze, with a bit of patience I managed to get the stamen in perfect focus. I greatly enjoy the complementary color tones between the petals and sky, combined with the delicate, buttery softness of the out-of-focus elements.”

HONORABLE MENTION, TWIST AND SPROUT, FLORA, NOELLE FEIST “In a row of succulents with leaves sticking straight out, this particular eye-catching one had leaves that twisted delicately in the center.” www.newtimesslo.com • October 1 - October 8, 2020 • New Times • 17

WINNING IMAGES 2020

FIRST PLACE, BIRDS ON A WIRE, ARCHITECTURE, KATHLEEN GERBER “As a photographer we often have to remember to look at what is behind us as well as above us.”

SECOND PLACE, STENNER CREEK BRIDGE, ARCHITECTURE, GARY O’NEILL “Have enjoyed photographing this rail bridge at North end of Cal Poly Campus for a couple of years now.”

THIRD PLACE, OCEANIC FEELING, ARCHITECTURE, JONATHAN SHAPIRO “I climbed up the Chapel Hill in Shandon one evening during this May. I was alone with the chapel at sunset. This brought about the oceanic feeling, discussed often by Freud—a feeling of eternity, something of a proto-religious feeling of being at one with the world.”

HONORABLE MENTION, “HOO’S AT THE DOOR?” ARCHITECTURE, KATHLEEN BOSCH “Intermission at the Festival Mozaic, July 2019 before COVID, at chapel on the hill with wonderful golden light on this golden door handle.”

THIRD PLACE, WAVE 7, LAND/SEASCAPE, GARY O’NEILL “Waves are like fingerprints, no two are the same. Using a slow shutter speed I focus on a forming wave and photograph it to its final end.”

NEW TIMES 25TH ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST

HONORABLE MENTION, KNIGHT OF THE SAND CASTLE, LAND/SEASCAPE, LISA WILKERSON

FIRST PLACE, LAZY DAY IN THE PULQUE FIELDS, OPEN, KATHLEEN GERBER

“Sea Knights are always jousting in Pismo. The allegory presented itself one night on Pismo Beach. Just looked different enough and was lucky to capture it.”

“Pulque is another fermented beverage in Mexico that is made from a particular variety of agave called the maguey plant. This is an old beverage that dates back to the pre-Hispanic times in Mexico and Central America. This image was shot with an infrared camera, which is essentially working with the invisible light spectrum. Tlaxcala, Mexico.”

THIRD PLACE, BAKER STREET STATION, OPEN, JONATHAN SHAPIRO “In London, the Baker Street tube station has a classic look with its brick walls. Here we see two strangers waiting for their train.”

HONORABLE MENTION, WHERE IS MY MIND?, PEOPLE, LUKE TYREE “Prior to creating this double exposure self-portrait, the only thing I knew how to do in Photoshop was open the application. But since I couldn’t go out and shoot when the shelter-in-place order was issued in San Luis Obispo County at the outset of the Coronavirus Pandemic, I decided to challenge myself to learn something new. While contemplating what I was going to make, I sat at my computer and daydreamed about what I’d do and where I’d go if I could; I found myself thinking about forests, good light, and fresh coastal air. With that in mind, I looked through my catalog of photos and found a shot that fit the bill nicely—sunlit fog pouring through coastal redwoods right before sunset. Next, I went out on my balcony at home and shot a simple self-portrait of myself against the blue sky. Then, I set about researching how to blend the two photos together using Photoshop. Two YouTube videos and 30 minutes later I had this. I loved the experience of creating something that was novel to me, and have continued to set similar goals for myself creatively since then.”

SECOND PLACE, CROSSING GUARD, TRAVEL, ANDY SAMARASENA “The Sri Lankan deer live in smaller family groups. They use the jungle as cover and come out to feed on the grass when they feel it is safe. The spotted deer is the most common of all four Sri Lankan deer species. It has been noted that the deer cleverly use other animals as look outs. They will feed near troops of gray laugur and bonnet macaque monkeys. If danger is seen they let out warning squeals.” www.newtimesslo.com • October 1 - October 8, 2020 • New Times • 19

WINNING IMAGES 2020

FIRST PLACE, GOLDILOCKS WAVE, LAND/SEASCAPE, NIC STOVER

SECOND PLACE, UNEARTHLY WONDER, OPEN, DAWN CERF

“I was walking a beach along the Northern SLO County coast and watching the light change as beams poked through the marine layer. It was hitting in the more traditional crepuscular rays or ‘God rays’ further out in the ocean and then like the light has been known to do … it changed and the wave crashing on a rock a few hundred feet from shore was now being lit as the waves crashed onto and around it. What I found during this process which lasted only about 10 waves was there was a perfect wave to be found. Not too big to be a wall of water. Not too small to not show the power or force or magnificence when it crashed. Just right. Just like Goldilocks and her quest for the porridge.”

“Although I don’t like to get up so early, I couldn’t miss an opportunity to witness the Milky Way in such a dark and otherworldly environment. Death Valley truly felt like another planet and even more so at night with the seemingly inexplicable cosmos dominating overhead. The patterns of the salt flats were alluring and absorbed the deep blue of the sky in this composite image. I took this trip on the last weekend of February, not knowing what was just around the corner. Instead of classifying this as travel, I put it in the open category as it feels more like a night photography image.”

HONORABLE MENTION, A HEAVY BURDEN, TRAVEL, DAN JALBERT “A Catholic Easter procession through the streets of Antigua, Guatemala. This was the last parade or social event before the entire country locked down on March 17 during the start of the local COVID-19 epidemic.”

THIRD PLACE, PLACES THAT EXIST, TRAVEL, LUKE TYREE “Seeing photos of Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, was what ultimately motivated me to travel there and see it with my own eyes (and camera, of course). Part of me was a little skeptical—I thought it wouldn’t really look as amazing in person as it did in the photographs I’d seen. But it did. And then some. This particular location, Moraine Lake, was actually considerably more jaw-dropping ‘in the flesh,’ and as someone who knows their way around a camera fairly well, I honestly found it challenging to capture its pristine elegance in camera with the same magnitude I was experiencing through my eyes. So I did my best. If anyone ever asks you if you want to go to Banff, don’t ask questions. Just GO.”

20 • New Times • October 1 - October 8, 2020 • www.newtimesslo.com

NEW TIMES 25TH ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST

THIRD PLACE, LOST AT SEA, YOUTH, LANCE WILSON “It was an overcast day and the sun was peeking out from behind the clouds, giving the water this moody look. I quickly snapped a few photos, and in a matter of minutes, the lighting had changed completely. It is special to me because I love the ocean and moody skies, and this picture joins two of my favorite things into one.”

FIRST PLACE, OCEAN LIFE, YOUTH, ALEJANDRA QUINTERO “I captured this photo during a school field trip to the Channel Islands. When we got to the Channel Islands, we got on a boat and started sailing to the island. It was a long way, but it was a lot of fun! Halfway there we saw dolphins and we all started to take pictures of them. I wanted to take a photo like the one I did because I thought it would look really cool. I took the photo and didn’t pay much attention to it, until later when I got home. I shared it on my social media and received many compliments from my classmates and friends! The following week at school we were preparing a video about our field trip to show to the rest of the school, and my classmates asked me to include the photo I took, and some teachers saw it and thought it was great! My PE teacher encouraged me to submit it to an Earth Day competition, but sadly I didn’t win. I was waiting to participate in a photography competition this year, but due to COVID-19, it was postponed. I didn’t know of any other photography competitions, but my PE teacher told me about this photo contest and encouraged me to participate. I am very happy to be participating in this competition and I really hope to win!”

SECOND PLACE, PREGNANT RATTLESNAKES, YOUTH, WYATT STAPP

HONORABLE MENTION, BLOSSOM, YOUTH, GIANNA LUCCHESI

“Snakes are my favorite animal; whenever I get the chance I run through fields, go flip boards, or hike a local trail always on the lookout for snakes. While I was hiking with my grandpa (hoping to see a snake) we stumbled upon a rookery of Southern Pacific rattlesnakes. A rookery is a rarely observed sighting where pregnant female rattlesnakes come together to give live birth (yes LIVE birth). I reached out to Cal Poly professor Dr. Emily Taylor who helped me to understand just how incredibly rare this was. We observed 10 Southern Pacific rattlesnakes total including six adults and four babies. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.”

“These cherry blossom trees only bloom once a year, and it’s amazing to watch them do so. I noticed all the busy pollinators surrounding it and wanted to capture this rare natural beauty, the epitome of spring.”

WINNING IMAGES 2020

FIRST PLACE, THE BORDER, PEOPLE, BARRY GOYETTE

SECOND PLACE, SHADOW DANCE, PEOPLE, BARRY GOYETTE

“I grew up just a few hundred feet from the line that separates San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, and I played in the riverbed that forms a boundary between the two counties. In this photo I imagine it less as the playground of my childhood, and more about what borders represent to people on the other side of them.”

“This was captured using an unusual lighting technique that produced a unique type of shadow, which combined with the dancer’s energy and movement made for an interesting image.”

HONORABLE MENTION, TOREADOR, TRAVEL, JONATHAN SHAPIRO

THIRD PLACE, THROWING CLAY, PEOPLE, VIVIAN KRUG COTTON “I’ve watched this potter ‘throwing clay’ many times through the years. He makes it seem so effortless as his steady cracked hands shape fantastic creations. This year he got up out of his chair, gave me a little instruction and let me give it a try. I can see why potters are so passionate about this hobby. It felt wonderful, but, it is much more difficult than it looks! I’ll stick to photography.”

“Escamillo, the Toreador in the opera Carmen, enters the ring with fanfare. This was taken during a performance of Carmen at the Arena di Verona, a 2,000-year-old amphitheater in Verona, Italy.”

JUDGES’ PICK, COCK OF THE WALK, ANIMALS, BRIAN J. MATIS “I was in the Village of Arroyo Grande with the intent of photographing some of the chickens near the creek. I had to stalk this one rooster for a bit and was pleased to get him crystal clear in his mid-stride strut.”

JUDGES’ PICK, IMPALAS SIPPING, MASHATU, TRAVEL, BRUCE FRASER “With no wind to ripple the water, everything at the watering hole becomes a reflective pattern. Shot from a hide. Botswana 2019.”

Dulcie Taylor releases remixes of her most popular sad songs

hen Dulcie Taylor left the East Coast for California, it was a gift to local Americana fans. This gifted singer-songwriter fit right into the local music scene, playing all around the Central Coast, winning Best Songwriter in the New Times Music Awards twice— accolades she could add to her two East Coast WAMMIEs (Washington D.C. area music awards). She recently reached back into her 20-year recording career to compile a six-song EP of some of her most popular songs, which have been “redesigned with new twists and approaches,” according to press materials. These previously released songs have been “remixed, remastered, with some rerecording,” and the results are nothing short of astonishingly beautiful. Also, a bit depressing! The EP opens with “Easy for You,” a song about a failing relationship: “I don’t blame you, baby, for saying goodbye/ If your heart isn’t in it, you surely got that right/ I don’t blame you, baby, do what you have to do/ It just seems so easy for you/ Why is it so easy for you.” Her songs get to big emotions in a hurry, like “Diamond & Glass,” whose chorus sings “Love can cut like a diamond/ Love can shatter like glass.” And that voice! Nuanced, emotive, and glorious as it moves into upper registers! “To Be A Fool” finds a relationship intact but under stress: “When we look at each other you know what we see, you know what we see/ A woman who loves you, a man who loves me/ Whatever comes I’m here for you, I’m here for you/ There’s very little I wouldn’t do/ But there’s one thing you don’t ask me/ I love you too much for you to ask me/ To be a fool.” Men, am I right? Jerks!

Strictly Starkey

OWNER OF A LONELY HEART Dulcie Taylor’s new EP of remixes finds her traversing broken relationships, in Reimagined, out now on Mesa Bluemoon Recordings.

I think my favorite track is the sultry ballad “On a Rainy Day,” that feels like a sweaty slow dance on a humid night but is really about another failing romance: “Telling myself to let you go/ Is like standing in a storm telling the wind not to blow/ I’ll wait to cry on a rainy day.” By the time you get to “Corazon Frio (Cold Heart),” you’ll be worrying if Taylor is OK. Her heart’s been broken again! “Corazon frio, cold heart/ What makes me love you still/ Corazon frio, how can I get through/ Freezing water that surrounds a frozen will.” These are stirring laments, and I wish I could tell you the EP ends on a hopeful note, but the closing track, “You and Me,” is about the last gasps of another failed relationship: “This can’t be you and me/ Paying a third party/ To help us put our hearts back together again/ This can’t be you and me/ Hoping a total stranger/ Can help us get across this ocean of pain/ Talk, talk, analyze/ Who did what and why/ Talk, talk, talk, deny/ Cry, cry.” The horn on this track is absolutely gorgeous. Put this EP on when you’re feeling blue and want to commiserate with someone who knows how to sing about doomed romance. You can also listen to Taylor on Spotify and her YouTube channel, which has had 2.7 million views.

Triple stream

There are three terrific streaming shows coming up this week starting with the Performing Arts Center streaming Classinova LIVE From the PAC, this Friday, Oct. 2 (7:30 p.m.; link through pacslo. org). It’s the kickoff to a new streaming series “developed and produced by the PAC to fill the void created when our doors closed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” organizers explained. Led by Central Coast superstar violinist Brynn Albanese, expect world music with a twist from Classinova as she and her musical cohorts mix bossa nova, classical violin, jazz, and Celtic music. The city of Atascadero presents its final virtual Saturday in the Park concert this Saturday, Oct. 3, with local feel-good rock act Ghost/Monster at 6 p.m. on KPRL 1230AM and atascadero.org/youtube. According to press materials, “Lead vocalist and acoustic guitar player, Nataly Lola, is an award-winning songwriter and her debut self-titled album was produced by platinum award-winning producer and Grammy member and nominee, the late and great Randy Rigby.” Vina Robles Amphitheatre presents Wine Down Wednesday with Bear Market Riot on Wednesday, Oct. 7 (5 p.m. on Vina Robles’ Facebook page), in partnership with SLO Brew. Bear Market is a power-duo that plays propulsive, percussive folk rock with great harmony vocals. Expect “tales of adventure, equality, and romance,” according to organizers.

On the radio I don’t know about you, but I’ve found myself turning to the radio more and more since the pandemic squashed the live music scene. The Central Coast has a lot of great stations, from Cal Poly’s student run KCPR 91.3FM to commercial stations like KPYG 94.9FM and all the American General Media stations, but my go-to for years has been local NPR affiliate KCBX 90.1FM, which recently replaced Chris Thile’s wonderful Live From Here (which replaced Garrison Keillor’s even more wonderful A Prairie Home Companion) with American Routes, which I tuned in to last Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. Featuring Nick Spitzer, Louisiana’s first state folklorist, the show digs deep to find a lot diverse American music, from gospel and soul to blues and jazz to rockabilly, country, Cajun, swamp, Tejano, Latin, and more. I have a feeling I’m going to discover a lot of new artists and music every Saturday afternoon thanks to this show. KCBX also just announced that starting Monday, Oct. 5, they’ll broadcast a new four-part series called The Ever Fonky Lowdown by Wynton Marsalis (Mondays from 8 to 8:30 p.m. through Oct. 26). It’s presented by KCBX and the SLO chapter of the NAACP, and according to press materials, the half-hour segments will present “a funky, jazzy, satirical look at democratic freedom, abuse of power, racism, and cultural corruption.” According to Rick Mathews, host of another of my favorite KCBX programs, Freedom Jazz Dance, this show and its music “is so urgent, important, and timely that I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to make this message available to as many people as possible.” He calls the piece a “sincere and almost brutal assessment of the issues within our culture.” I’m in!

Local ceramic artist Sandra Ferris opens outdoor pop-up studio

Pismo Beach-based artisan Sandra Ferris will open an outdoor pop-up studio on Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This one-day showcase and sale will take place outside Ferris’ studio, located at 698 Vista Pacifica Circle, Pismo Beach. Tables will be set up to display Ferris’ decorative ceramic planters and other featured items. Many of the planters have already been planted with various kinds of succulents. Ferris converted her garage into an art studio in 2011 and has been hand-building and hand-throwing clay into ceramic artworks—both decorative and functional—ever since. “I like the idea of designing an item from scratch, creating a pattern, cutting it out, putting it together, and thereby experimenting with the clay’s limits,” Ferris said in an artist statement. The public is welcome to browse the outdoor studio, as the displays will be safely spread out to accommodate social distancing between visitors. Face masks are suggested, and hand sanitizer will be available during the event. To find out more about the pop-up studio and Ferris’ ceramic art, visit sandyferrisceramics.com.

Many artworks on display are also available for purchase. Zornes’ paintings in the show are on loan from the collections of Maria Zornes and Hal Baker.

cess Pattern and process Adrienne Allebe’s work shines at Ascendo

wo-dimensional images don’t move, but there’s something kinetic about Adrienne Allebe’s paintings/drawings, which seem to dance over the surface of the paper or panel upon which she works. Featuring geometric patterns, graceful color graduations, and painterly and organic additions, her work will be leaving Ascendo in Los Osos after a socially distanced, masked closing reception on Oct. 3 from 3 to 5 p.m. The former Cuesta and Cal Poly art instructor now has a tenure-track professorship in the department of Fine Arts at Allan Hancock College, where she’s teaching remotely due to the pandemic. “I’m currently teaching online versions of life drawing out of my garage, color theory out of my bedroom, and ancient art history out of my kitchen,” Allebe explained via email, noting she got her first teaching experience in Los Angeles “by demonstrating for friends how to draw SheRa during recess! Ha-ha!” The works on display represent a series she began in 2013, including three new works she completed this summer. What is it about patterns that she finds so fascinating? “For my first seven years of teaching, I taught mostly two-dimensional design, which has traditionally been rooted in geometry and relies on precise measurements and craft,” she explained. “Teaching that and being in design mode all of the time made me more interested in those kinds of shapes and artistic strategies—I had been making biomorphically surreal paintings for a while and always loved biological and anatomical forms for inspiration. I think I just felt that need to expand and open up as an artist, [I] wanted to start mixing it up. This, combined with my father’s death in 2010, led me toward craving a more grounding artistic practice,” she continued. “When difficult to concentrate, I found just

Split Screen PHOTO COURTESY OF WARNER BROS.

Mind-bender W riter-director Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Begins, Inception, Dunkirk) helms this sci-fi action thriller about a mysterious operative (John David Washington) who manipulates time on a mission to prevent World War III. (150 min.)

Glen We did it! We braved going to the theater. There were only about 25 people, about four-fifths of whom weren’t wearing masks—apparently that’s not something the theater is interesting in policing—but so far we’re still COVID-free and we got to see Nolan’s twisty, mind-bending new film on the big screen. It’s a puzzler, but like many of his thorniest stories, it’s worth the struggle to piece it together. Washington’s nameless character is simply known as the protagonist, and as the film begins, he seems as lost as the viewers, but as he begins to piece together how time is being manipulated—something about inverted entropy—we begin to make some sense of what’s going on. The short version is he’s trying to get close to Russian oligarch Andrei Sator (Kenneth Branagh), who seems to have a supply of inverted entropy bullets and more importantly seems to be communicating with the future, which seems to want to destroy the present. As a way in, the protagonist gets close to Kat (Elizabeth Debicki), Sator’s abused wife and mother of his son. Thus begins a race to recover something Sator is searching for, and the whole affair turns into a running battle between agents from the future and agents from the present, including Neil (Robert Pattinson), leading to a closed Russian city in Siberia where the final battle plays out … but when you can control time, will the battle ever end? Anna Nolan certainly loves to build a puzzle, and Tenet is a time-bending, suspenseful example of that. It’s a tense, serious 2 1/2 hours of pieced-together story in the forward and backward world of time. Being back in the theater was definitely a little weird, but this is a film that is meant to be seen on the big screen. While the long runtime was a bit much for me, the storyline needed it, and the film stayed engaging throughout. For me it felt a bit like Nolan decided to take his previous film Inception and tweak it into more of an action film, and while the bending of time and how it is controlled can get confusing, sometimes you just

h Slingin’ dough PHOTOS COURTESY OF KEAN MCCABE

Born-and-raised Los Ososan Kean McCabe took the pandemic in stride by starting up a pizza business in his backyard

here’s never a “good” time for a pandemic to hit. But for bornand-raised Los Osos resident and chef Kean McCabe, the timing was exceptionally vexing. After 12 years of working his way up the culinary ladder, most recently at Ember Restaurant in Arroyo Grande, McCabe decided he wanted to work closer to his Los Osos home, where he lives with his fiancée and 2-year-old daughter. He had just accepted a new position at Morro Bay Oyster Company and put his notice in at Ember when stay-at-home orders hit and the world came to a halt. McCabe suddenly found himself without a job. But after working on the line at Ember for the past four years, McCabe knew how to, “sling dough,” as he calls it. Newly unemployed and looking for someone to feed, McCabe fired up his self-constructed pizza oven in his Baywood backyard. “I started texting my friends and family in the Los Osos community saying, ‘Hey, do you want pizza on Friday?’” McCabe recalls. “I sold probably about 20 pizzas the first week, so I thought, ‘I should do this again.’” The next week McCabe sold almost double that, and sales only went up from there. He started promoting his newfound business model on Instagram and gave it a name: Earth and Oven. “I’ve been slinging pizzas every Friday and Saturday now for about six months,” McCabe said. “Every week I do anywhere from 100 to 120 pizzas in two days.” McCabe has it down to a science: every Monday he posts his weekly pizza menu through a booking site linked on Earth and Oven’s Instagram bio (@earthandoven). After choosing a Friday or Saturday pickup time slot, customers can order up to four pizzas from the five weekly options. Earth and Oven’s staples include classics like four-cheese and pepperoni, but McCabe also switches things up with a new special pizza each week. I knew I had to go with the latter option the moment I saw the topping list: smoked salmon, dill-infused cream cheese, confit garden tomatoes, red onion, fried capers, and finger limes from Shanley Farms in Morro Bay. I’m a vegetarian, but I made an exception just for this pizza because … how could I not? I rolled up to McCabe’s home in my Prius a couple of minutes before my time

WOOD-FIRED UP Kean McCabe stands in front of his homemade woodfired pizza oven, located in his Los Osos backyard, where he fires up more than 100 pizzas a week for his budding business, Earth and Oven.

slot. As soon as the clock on my dashboard struck 7 p.m., a woman wearing a face mask came outside carrying a 10-inch pizza box, and through my car window instructed me on how to use finger limes (an absolute revelation). It took everything in me not to scarf down the pizza right then and there. After a torturous 15-minute drive home with the scent of smoked salmon wafting around my car, I consumed what’s easily the best pizza I’ve ever had. I’m talking better-than-Italy good. McCabe recommends enjoying his wood-fired pizzas with a side of Los Osos scenery. “My idea behind it was, during quarantine, you can come out to a spot that you might not normally come to in Montaña de Oro or Baywood Park,” McCabe said. “It’s my way of helping get the community members out of their norm.” In addition to his weekly pizza hustle, McCabe offers private dinners with elaborate menus that he orchestrates himself. Want to dine on Morro Bay Pacific Gold oysters, butter lettuce with yogurt dill dressing, cast-iron filet mignon, and orange zest crème brûlée to finish it off? Shoot McCabe a direct message on Instagram to see when his next available reservation is and what’s on the menu. “I’m giving people the ability to have a private chef come into their house and cater a meal, or to come to my location and get a fine dining experience like you would

at a restaurant,” he said. “It’s your party.” McCabe said he’s always dreamed of opening a brick-and-mortar establishment, and it’s something he thinks about for the future. But the pandemic brought a new opportunity for him to do what he loves from home, something he said he might have never tried if it weren’t for restaurants closing down in March. “I’m just trying to get caught up and figure out what’s the next step,” McCabe said. “I’ve been looking at getting more mobile and all that, but I don’t want to take away from what I have going. It’s a really good thing, but I’m at a max with how

many people I can serve out of this oven.” For now, he’s taking it week by week and enjoying the unexpected ride. “It’s given me the ability to push and launch and do something for myself that I’ve almost always wanted to do,” he said. “2020’s been the biggest surprise for everybody. I feel humbled and blessed that people want to support small and local, especially right now.” Δ Staff Writer Malea Martin, from New Times’ sister paper, is ordering another pizza (or three), and she’s definitely not sharing.

LEGAL NOTICES

sidering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & BUILDING NOTICE OF TENTATIVE ACTION / PUBLIC HEARING

WHO: County of San Luis Obispo Planning Department Hearing WHEN: Friday, October 16, 2020 at 09:00 AM. All items are advertised for 09:00 AM. To verify agenda placement, please call the Department of Planning & Building at (805) 781-5600. WHAT: A request by Copper Creek Farms, LLC for a Minor Use Permit (DRC2019-00042) to establish a phased cannabis cultivation operation including approximately 3.0 acres (130,680 square-feet) of outdoor mature cannabis cultivation canopy, a maximum of 22,000 squarefeet of indoor mixed-light cannabis cultivation canopy, up to 5,000 square-feet of ancillary nursery cannabis cultivation canopy for use only onsite, and ancillary processing (trimming, drying, packaging) of the cannabis grown and harvested onsite. The project includes a request for a modification from the parking provisions set forth in Section 22.18.050.C.1 of the County Land Use Ordinance to allow for a total of 3 parking spaces where 55 are required. The proposed project would result in the disturbance of approximately 5.7 acres and would result in less than 50 cubic yards of grading on a portion of a 54-acre parcel. The project site is located on the north side of Neal Spring Road, approximately 2.5 miles east of the Templeton Urban Reserve Line. The project site is in the Agriculture land use category and in the El PomarEstrella Sub-Area of the North County Planning Area. The Environmental Coordinator, after completion of the initial study, finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not necessary. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) has been issued on July 10, 2020, for this project. Mitigation measures are proposed to address Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Energy, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hydrology & Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Utilities & Service Systems and Mandatory Findings of Significance and are included as conditions of approval. The Environmental Document is available for public review at the Department of Planning and Building, at the below address. A copy of the Environmental Document is also available on the Planning and Building Department website at www .sloplanning.org. Anyone interested in commenting on the proposed Environmental Document should submit a written statement and/or speak at the public hearing.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Make up a song that cheers you up and inspires your excitement about the future. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself,” wrote 16th century author Pietro Aretino. By January 2021, Aries, I would love for you to have earned the right to make a similar statement: “I am, indeed, a royal sovereign, because I know how to rule myself.” Here’s the most important point: The robust power and clout you have the potential to summon has nothing to do with power and clout over other people—only over yourself. Homework: Meditate on what it means to be the imperial boss and supreme monarch of your own fate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.” Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield made that brilliant observation. It’s always worth meditating on, but it’s an especially potent message for you during the first three weeks of October 2020. In my view, now is a highly favorable time for you to extract uplifting lessons by dealing forthrightly with your knottiest dilemmas. I suspect that these lessons could prove useful for the rest of your long life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My business is to love,” wrote poet Emily Dickinson. I invite you to adopt this motto for the next three weeks. It’s an excellent time to intensify your commitment to expressing compassion, empathy, and tenderness. To do so will not only bring healing to certain allies who need it; it will also make you smarter. I mean that literally. Your actual intelligence will expand and deepen as you look for and capitalize on opportunities to bestow blessings. (P.S. Dickinson also wrote, “My business is to sing.” I recommend you experiment with that mandate, as well.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I’m the diamond in the dirt, that ain’t been found,” sings Cancerian rapper Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent. “I’m the underground king and I ain’t been crowned,” he adds. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that a phenomenon like that is going on in your life right now. There’s something unknown about you that deserves and needs to be known. You’re not getting the full credit and acknowledgment you’ve earned through your soulful accomplishments. I hereby authorize you to take action! Address this oversight. Rise up and correct it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The author bell hooks (who doesn’t capitalize her name) has spent years as a professor in American universities. Adaptability has been a key strategy in her efforts to educate her students. She writes, “One of the things that we must do as teachers is twirl around and around, and find out what works with the situation that we’re in.” That’s excellent advice for you right now—in whatever field you’re in. Old reliable formulas are irrelevant, in my astrological opinion. Strategies that have guided you in the past may not apply to the current scenarios. Your best bet is to twirl around and around as you experiment to find out what works.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have,” says motivational speaker Robert Holden. Hallelujah and amen! Ain’t that the truth! Which is why it’s so crucial to periodically take a thorough inventory of your relationship with yourself. And guess what, Virgo: Now would be a perfect time to do so. Even more than that: During your inventory, if you discover ways in which you treat yourself unkindly or carelessly, you can generate tremendous healing energy by working to fix the glitches. The coming weeks could bring pivotal transformations in your bonds with others if you’re brave enough to make pivotal transformations in your bonds with yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In her high school yearbook, Libra-born Sigourney Weaver arranged to have this caption beneath

her official photo: “Please, God, please, don’t let me be normal!” Since then, she has had a long and acclaimed career as an actor in movies. Screenprism.com calls her a pioneer of female action heroes. Among her many exotic roles: a fierce warrior who defeats monstrous aliens; an exobiologist working with indigenous people on the moon of a distant planet in the 22nd century; and a naturalist who lives with mountain gorillas in Rwanda. If you have ever had comparable fantasies about transcending normalcy, Libra, now would be a good time to indulge those fantasies—and begin cooking up plans to make them come true.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio-born Prince Charles has been heir to the British throne for 68 years. That’s an eternity to be patiently on hold for his big chance to serve as king. His mother, Queen Elizabeth, just keeps going on and on, living her very long life, ensuring that Charles remains second in command. But I suspect that many Scorpios who have been awaiting their turn will finally graduate to the next step in the coming weeks and months. Will Charles be one of them? Will you? To increase your chances, here’s a tip: Meditate on how to be of even greater devotion to the ideals you love to serve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Inventor Buckminster Fuller was a visionary who loved to imagine ideas and objects no one had ever dreamed of before. One of his mottos was, “There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.” I recommend that you spend quality time in the coming weeks meditating on butterfly-like things you’d love to have as part of your future—things that may resemble caterpillars in the early going. Your homework is to envision three such innovations that could be in your world by Oct. 1, 2021.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During World War II, Hollywood filmmakers decided it would be a good idea to create stories based on graphic current events: for example, American Marines waging pitched battles against Japanese soldiers on South Pacific islands. But audiences were cool to that approach. They preferred comedies and musicals with “no message, no mission, no misfortune.” In the coming weeks, I advise you to resist any temptation you might have to engage in a similar disregard of current events. In my opinion, your mental health requires you to be extra discerning and well-informed about politics—and so does the future of your personal destiny.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Pretending is imagined possibility,” observes actor Meryl Streep. “Pretending is a very valuable life skill, and we do it all the time.” In other words, fantasizing about events that may never happen is just one way we use our mind’s eye. We also wield our imaginations to envision scenarios that we actually want to create in our real lives. In fact, that’s the first step in actualizing those scenarios: to play around with picturing them; to pretend they will one day be a literal part of our world. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to supercharge the generative aspect of your imagination. I encourage you to be especially vivid and intense as you visualize in detail the future you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “My own soul must be a bright invisible green,” wrote author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Novelist Tom Robbins suggested that we visualize the soul as “a cross between a wolf howl, a photon, and a dribble of dark molasses.” Nobel Prize-winning poet Wislawa Szymborska observed, “Joy and sorrow aren’t two different feelings” for the soul. Poet Emily Dickinson thought that the soul “should always stand ajar”—just in case an ecstatic experience or rousing epiphany might be lurking in the vicinity. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I invite you to enjoy your own lively meditations on the nature of your soul. You’re in a phase when such an exploration can yield interesting results. ∆
