Natural Healing Center threatens legal action after SLO rescinds dispensary permit “N

HC! NHC! NHC!” A few dozen employees of Natural Healing Center chanted their company’s acronym in unison on Oct. 19 while gathered on the steps of San Luis Obispo City Hall. Donning white T-shirts with “save my career” printed across the back, NHC executives and workers assembled to protest a recent SLO city decision to revoke NHC’s permit for a cannabis dispensary on Broad Street—which came after company founder Helios Dayspring pleaded guilty to felony charges of bribery and tax evasion related to his cannabis businesses. “We are here to ask the City Council for help. … What’s happened here is a big mistake,” NHC Government Affairs Manager Joe Armendariz said on the steps, flanked by now-CEO and majority owner Valnette Garcia. On Oct. 6, SLO terminated NHC’s dispensary permit following a “thorough review” of the evidence. City officials concluded that NHC had submitted “false or misleading information about criminal misconduct” in its permit application in 2018. Dayspring’s plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice announced in July states that the former NHC majority owner committed tax fraud between 2014 and 2018 and began bribing late SLO County 3rd District Supervisor Adam Hill for favorable cannabis votes in 2016—both before his company applied for a dispensary permit in SLO. City officials said NHC never disclosed that misconduct in its background interviews, which violated local regulations, and that the company “would never have received the permit had we known then what we know now.” SLO awarded three cannabis storefront permits in 2019, including one to NHC, while nine companies applied. “While we understand the company’s disappointment, we, too, are disappointed that the business included false and/or misleading information to the city, which directly resulted in automatic disqualification of their application and termination of their permit,” SLO Public Communications Manager Whitney Szentesi said in an Oct. 19 email to New Times. NHC is fighting the decision, which is likely to end up in court. First, NHC appealed to the City Council. At City Hall on Oct. 19, Armendariz told a gaggle of media that the company was just days away from opening its “flagship” store in SLO, which combined two lots on Broad Street and has been in the works since 2019. “It is a certified net-zero [emissions], environmentally superior dispensary, the likes of which has never been seen not just in SLO, quite frankly, but in California,” Armendariz said. Several NHC employees stepped to the front after Armendariz spoke and talked about the company and its virtues, while pleading with the city to change course. “I am a lead budtender at the SLO store,” said Christian, a NHC worker. “They say that if you

NHC staff repeated these pleas during public comment at the City Council’s Oct. 19 meeting. In response, Mayor Erica Stewart and Councilmember Andy Pease expressed sympathy for the workers but backed staff’s decision, which Pease said was about preserving the “integrity of the process.” The council took no action afterward. “There’s extensive documentation that will be available in terms of the background, in case employees want to better understand where we’re coming from,” Pease said. “I think we totally sympathize with what the folks are going through. This is a super unfortunate situation overall.” NHC promised to challenge the city’s decision in court. In a letter sent to the city, NHC attorneys said that “millions of dollars are at stake here” and the company is “prepared to proceed with a formal complaint if your attempt to terminate my client’s permit is not immediately revoked.” The letter emphasizes that the city’s punishing PHOTO BY PETER JOHNSON of the company “for the sins of a former owner flies in the face of the city’s actual ordinances” and “the legal rights and reasonable expectations” of NHC. City officials and NHC attorneys met on Oct. 15 for a formal discussion about the permit but it did not change the city’s decision. On Oct. 19, while NHC was protesting at City Hall, SLO sent out a press release confirming its initial conclusion to revoke the permit. “The company cannot activate, obtain, or hold an operator permit to conduct commercial cannabis activity at 2640 Broad St. in San Luis Obispo, which is not yet open to the public,” City Manager Derek Johnson said. SLO is the first city to take action against NHC in the wake of the Dayspring scandal. Grover Beach officials said they will allow the dispensary to continue operating following an internal review. “Since the opening of the business in COMPANY PLEA Employees of Natural Healing Center, led by 2018, there has been Government Affairs Manager Joe Armendariz (center right) and CEO Valnette Garcia, gathered on the steps of SLO City Hall on Oct. 19 to ask no impropriety in

want something bad enough you have to claim it like it’s already there. I’m claiming that. “You get the gist that [NHC] is more than just a cannabis dispensary,” she continued. “It’s our livelihood. It’s our community’s livelihood. … Honestly, without NHC, I don’t know where I’d be right now.” NHC owners Garcia and Kenny Johnson (a minority owner) penned a letter to the City Council that called the city staff’s decision “draconian” and a “devastating financial blow to our company.” Founded following cannabis’s legalization, NHC has stores open in Grover Beach, Morro Bay, and Lemore. “As a company we have gone through incredible lengths and sacrifice to create a one-of-a-kind environmentally sustainable operation for our employees, customers, the city, and residents of SLO,” their letter read. “It is nothing less than a travesty that Val and her staff are being punished for something they had nothing to do with or were involved in.”

NHC’s operations,” City Manager Matt Bronson said in an Oct. 12 email to New Times. “NHC has followed all guidelines and requirements set forth by the city’s ordinance and is an active member of the legal cannabis industry within the city producing local jobs and tax revenues.” According to NHC, its Grover Beach dispensary is the single largest sales tax revenue generator in the city. Morro Bay’s review of NHC and its permit is still active, city officials told New Times. —Peter Johnson

Students react to antiLGBTQ acts at Paso Robles High School

Paso Robles High School senior Danny Perez first heard about an incident involving a pride flag at his school about a month ago while he was sitting in social science teacher Geoffrey Land’s class. “Mr. Land just told us, straight up and flat out, that someone had taken a pride flag down from a teacher’s classroom, went to the bathroom and defecated on it, and then posted it onto social media,” Perez said. “Once he had said what had happened, I don’t know what was said after that, or what discussion went on in that class, because I was in a state of shock. I wasn’t scared, but it was one of those moments where you just feel uncomfortable in your own skin. … Then after that, it was anger, knowing that no one was going to talk about this.” In reaction to what happened, Perez and some of his peers organized a “Coming Out Against Hate” forum. On Oct. 20, students planned to come together to share testimonials about dealing with anti-LGBTQ-plus incidents at Paso High. The forum was scheduled in the evening, after New Times went to press. Land said he first heard about the details of the incident from fellow teachers and students, not from the district. “It was word of mouth, and then it was just sort of silence,” Land said. “I have several students who identify as LGBTQ, and they were troubled and then worried and then upset by the school’s lack of obvious response. … Staff and students didn’t hear anything for almost two weeks.” When Paso Robles Unified School District Superintendent Curt Dubost eventually sent out a letter on Oct. 1, he announced a new school policy: no flags larger than 2 by 2 feet can be displayed in classrooms, and no flags that alter the American flag are allowed. “That’s when it really started feeling like there was a problem, not only with hate crimes on the campus, but with the misunderstanding of the administration about how LGBTQ students felt,” Land said. “The biggest problem with the school’s response was that it seemed to be crafted in consultation only with groups who are not in the classroom.” One of the groups the district consulted on its new policy is the Gala Pride and Diversity Center in San Luis Obispo. Gala met with district officials on Sept. 30. “During that meeting, the school district mentioned this 2-by-2 [foot] rainbow flag idea they had,” Gala

Executive Director Michelle Call said. “Initially we didn’t see the problem with that.” But after hearing outcry about the new policy, and learning that a standard classroom flag is 2 by 3 feet, Gala agreed with concerned students and teachers that the district’s actions were “essentially a pride flag ban,” Call said. In an Oct. 15 statement, the organization called on the district to remove the limitation and increase it to 2 by 3 feet. Superintendent Curt Dubost told New Times that the district “deplores any acts of unkindness or violence or hurt toward anybody.” “I applaud the students for their reaction and putting together this student forum,” he added. Dubost said the new flag requirements are an attempt to “find that compromise where we can have rainbows but not have them be a distraction.” For some students, the district’s reaction was a step backwards. “The school has tried to politicize the pride flag and queer identities,” Paso High senior Ava Hughes told New Times the night before the forum. Hughes, who planned to speak at the Oct. 20 forum, said another recent antipride incident shows that the school has a long way to go to make queer students feel safe. “Today we just got an email from our principal after school, that someone had defaced a pride flag mask, another hateful incident,” she said. “Clearly [the district is] not doing enough physically, besides just saying we need to do better.” —Malea Martin

Grover Beach invests $250,000 to improve its sidewalks

Walking around Grover Beach is about to get smoother. A citywide renovation project will fill in and fix its dilapidated sidewalks thanks to an investment of $450,000. This money comes from Grover Beach’s Capital Improvement Program for sidewalk infill work. But it’s only a small chunk of an estimated $38 million needed to fill in missing sidewalks across 509 blocks. Limited funding prompted staff to structure the program into three levels of priority. “The intent is to prioritize sidewalk infill on major streets and within two blocks of schools, parks, or other points of interest,” City Manager Matthew Bronson told New Times. City officials identified that they need $2.6 million in grants to complete all Priority 1 streets’ sidewalks. A staff report stated that funding could be available through the 2022 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. But Bronson said that the CDBG funds aren’t available now. “The city also has $200,000 of funding intended to design additional sidewalk improvements to pursue an over-thecounter CDBG,” he said. “However, the city recently learned that CDBG will not fund new projects, and thus, the city has reallocated this funding for a small sidewalk infill project on portions of South 4th Street, South 10th Street, South 9th Street, and Mentone Avenue pursuant to council direction.”

City sidewalk rehabilitation extends to property owners too. The City Council authorized a cost-sharing scheme for sidewalk improvement at private locations. Tapping into general funds between $50,000 and $100,000, the city will foot half the construction bill for property owners based on a firstcome, first-served policy. Grover Beach will also design and construct curb and gutter improvements for them. It expects to fund between six and 13 private projects a year. Street improvement is one of the beach city’s four top goals along with economic development, housing and homelessness, and public safety. Bronson said in a statement that the city added 2 miles of sidewalks and pathways in recent years. “Bicycle and pedestrian improvements were also completed recently near Grover Beach Elementary School, funded by the Safe Routes to School program,” he added in the statement. “While additional funding will be needed, council’s prioritization of sidewalk projects reinforces our commitment to make Grover Beach accessible for all.” —Bulbul Rajagopal

SLO scraps pickleball courts at Mitchell Park

San Luis Obispo is switching gears on its plans for new amenities at Mitchell Park—dropping an effort to install two pickleball courts. “Overall, the public did not support the installation of two pickleball courts,” city officials wrote in an Oct. 19 staff report, “and expressed ideas for other passive amenities to revitalize the park.” For the past year, SLO has been discussing strategies to better “activate” Mitchell Park amid public concerns regarding “the condition and low activation of the park.” Early on in the outreach, pickleball courts rose to the top of the wish list, and officials drew up plans to squeeze two courts between the park’s central gazebo and the playground. But after a year of discussion, public feedback led the city down an entirely different path. “The public expressed the importance of maintaining the integrity of the park for social gatherings, special events, open green areas, and rallies,” the staff report read. “There were also concerns regarding the impact to the parking lot reserved for the SLO Senior Center members.” Instead, SLO will pursue a hodgepodge of other new amenities at the park, including “chess/checker tables, bocce ball courts, shade structures and a stage, benches, interactive educational signage, and pathway safety lighting.” On Oct. 12, the SLO City Council voted unanimously to support the new plans, with Councilmember Carlyn Christianson recusing herself due to a conflict of interest. The city says it will use the $210,000 of funds set aside for the pickleball courts for the new Mitchell Park project—with $177,952 of those funds coming from a State Parks grant previously awarded to the city. “Staff has already worked with State Parks to ensure the updated scope still satisfies the grant requirements so there should be no issues re-submitting the grant application,” the report stated. —Peter Johnson

Central Coast needs more blood donors to keep up with demand

The blood supply on the Central Coast is the lowest it’s been in more than a year, due to a perfect storm of increased use and fewer donors. Vitalant is a community blood donation nonprofit with locations in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Maria. It currently has less than a two-day supply of type O blood, the most transfused blood type. “Overall, we strive to have a four-day supply of all blood types on the shelves,” Vitalant Communications Manager Kevin Adler said. Adler said the local blood supply is at some of the most dire levels he has seen in his four years working at Vitalant. “The levels of the blood supply right now are lower and less than they were at the beginning of the pandemic,” Adler said. “The reason for that is because the hospital usage [of blood donations] is up about 5 percent,” plus there’s a shortage of donors. The beginning of the pandemic also saw a large drop in donors, as people stayed home, and community blood drives were canceled. But at the same time, the demand for blood was lower then. “I don’t want to say it was OK to see fewer donors, but it was manageable,” Adler said. Now, the Central Coast is not only seeing fewer donations, but also a higher demand for blood in hospitals. “There were a lot of elective surgeries that were put off not only by hospitals, but by the individuals,” Adler said, that are now being rescheduled and require blood. “And then on top of that, now we’re having people go out, do other things, and unfortunately maybe get into accidents, and there is the need for emergency blood.” Cliff Numark, senior vice president of Vitalant, said in a statement that the nonprofit is seeking 1,000 additional volunteer donors to donate blood each week, “to ensure Vitalant can help trauma victims, cancer patients, and critical surgeries.” On average, about half of Vitalant’s blood supply is derived from donations at its brick-and-mortar locations, and the other half is from community blood drives, Adler said. Both of these donation avenues have taken a hit. “[People are] busy doing other things right now because things are freeing up and they feel more at ease on going out and doing things, and making a blood donation is just not a priority,” Adler said. “Next is really the cancellation of a lot of community blood drives: Businesses still don’t have employees, or they’re still reluctant to hold a blood drive at their facility. … While we do have some school blood drives, we’re still seeing schools that are reluctant or unable to hold a blood drive on campus for various reasons.” Vitalant is calling upon the community to make blood donation a priority again. “It is the blood on the shelf that saves the lives of patients,” Susan Noone, Vitalant regional director, said in a statement. “We must ensure those shelves have the blood essential to treat people who most likely never expected NEWS continued page 7

News BY BULBUL RAJAGOPAL SCREENSHOT FROM SLO COUNTY APCD HEARING BOARD PRESENTATION

Settling the dust

CLEAN SWEEP SLO County APCD hopes to mitigate dust in the Oceano Dunes SVRA through wind fencing and by increasing vegetation in the area.

Oceano Dunes officials battle lawsuits and public frustration as they race to control dust emissions and off-road driving

ust—annoying when it settles daily on countertops, but Herculean to manage when it blows around the Oceano Dunes. Then, throw a lawsuit into the mix. California State Parks and San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) faced this dilemma together when a SLO Superior Court judge recently invalidated one of their dust control regulation agreements. The APCD-maintained regulation known as Rule 1001 applies to any entity operating a coastal dune area greater than 100 acres with vehicle activity. In this case, the controversial Oceano Dunes State Recreational Vehicle Area is operated by State Parks, and the rule requires State Parks to implement a plan that reduces particle matter emissions (dust), also called PM10, to a certain level. The lawsuit, filed in 2014 by Friends of Oceano Dunes, argued that the agreement between the APCD and State Parks changed the rule’s dust emission parameters without public notice. The court agreed and nullified that agreement on Oct. 7. But APCD officials said they haven’t implemented Rule 1001 in more than three years. “This is a ‘scorched earth’ tactic that is designed to use up limited public moneys that would be otherwise used to help clean the air,” APCD Executive Director Gary Willey said. Friends is a nonprofit organization that champions off-road driving, which is an activity that the local APCD believes increases dust emissions in the dunes that pose a health risk. Oceano Dunes officials, regulatory agencies, and Friends have been at loggerheads for several years over off-highway vehicle (OHV) use in the park. Lawsuits from all sides peppered the conflict, which came to a head in March 2021 when a unanimous California Coastal Commission vote mandated State Parks to end OHV use at Oceano Dunes by 2024. “Friends does not believe OHV will be banned at the Oceano Dunes. Friends has been very successful in the court systems identifying and winning against

the [Coastal Commission], APCD, State Parks, and county, to name a few,” Friends President Jim Suty told New Times. Suty also said the APCD was “lying” about not using Rule 1001, which Willey refuted. Willey said that the APCD booted the rule in favor of an abatement order that holds APCD and State Parks more accountable for dust emissions because a hearing board oversees it. “Since September 2017 when we began the Stipulated Order of Abatement process, we have not enforced any Rule 1001 requirement. Hundreds of violations of Rule 1001 have occurred since that time; not a single notice of violation has been issued,” Willey said. But Willey added that the APCD is trying to meet everyone halfway. Suty thought it wasn’t possible because of a compromise made in 1982 that shrunk the driving area on the dunes from 15,000 acreages to 1,500. “Now fast forward, people want to take more and ask us why we are not willing to ‘meet halfway,’” he said. Willey sympathized with that view, adding that the acreage reduction didn’t involve dust issues. “There are other laws that have caused the riding to be much more concentrated, and I feel for their pain. [The riding] made the dust worse,” he said. “Some in the riding group have argued that by reducing the acreage, they’ve concentrated the riding into smaller areas and caused more dust. They have many valid points, but I have a public health mandate [to take care of].” Overall, the court ruling didn’t bother Willey, as it doesn’t impact current dust control projects, and State Parks agreed. “The current court decision will not have an impact on ongoing dust control efforts at Oceano Dunes SVRA since most of the dust control projects that State Parks is implementing are more stringent than Rule 1001 and are implemented pursuant to the Stipulated Order of Abatement, and not under Rule 1001 or the consent decree,” State Parks Public Information Officer Jorge Moreno said via email.

of new land for treatment. APCD presented California’s PM10 emissions standard is the hearing board with a plan to mitigate 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air over a 24-hour period. Rule 1001 has a more lenient dust on 53 acres of existing treatment space threshold of 55 micrograms per cubic meter by growing vegetation. But some considered for the same time period. Even when APCD this work plan’s momentum to be too slow. and State Parks observed the rule, they Kara Woodruff, one of the hearing board aimed to reduce dust emissions to the state directors, acknowledged that though the standard. Willey said it was “only a goal,” APCD and its Scientific Advisory Group MUSIC but the lawsuit called it a “rule change.” steadily increased more acreage for dust Though Suty said that the nonprofit control treatment, the current pace makes doesn’t advocate for one performance reaching theFLAVOR/EATS December 2023 deadline standard over the other, he maintained “overly optimistic.” that dust emissions in the Oceano Dunes She requested holding off on approving are not a “huge health hazard.” INFOuntil staff presented a more the work plan But many community members disagree detailed report of progress.

n the late afternoon on Oct. 12, a small crowd began to form outside the Paso Robles Unified School District office. Teachers, parents, and kids wearing red and maroon T-shirts grew in numbers before taking the rally to the street, where passing cars honked in support. One young Glen Speck Elementary student held up a homemade sign that read, “Give teachers what they need,” handwritten with multicolored markers. Kristin Usilton, an English literacy development intervention teacher at Glen Speck, was one of the event organizers. About 100 people joined the rally, which happened while the district’s school board conducted its bimonthly meeting. Usilton said they were rallying for a higher salary. “We’ve been in negotiations for a pay raise, and they just keep counteroffering with the most pathetic offers,” Usilton said. Paso Robles Public Educators President Justin Pickard said the union began pay negotiations in September with an initial proposal for a salary increase of just more than 5 percent, to match what the district gets from the cost of living adjustment (COLA). The COLA is an increase in funding schools get from the government to account for inflation and cost of living. The district first counteroffered a 1 percent increase to the salary schedule. The union came back on Oct. 6, again asking for an increase equivalent to the COLA. This time, the district countered with a 1.5 percent increase. Pickard said that while the union hasn’t solidified another counter offer yet, “a lot of people are still advocating for full COLA.” “This last negotiation was just so offensive to all the teachers, we couldn’t just stand back anymore,” Usilton said of why she organized the rally. “It’s so frustrating.” The union and its members point to the district’s large 20 percent reserve and the COLA as evidence that Paso Robles Unified can afford to give teachers a larger raise than what’s been offered so far. “Every time they talk about a pay raise, they mention that the district has no money,” Usilton said. “The district right now has over 20 percent reserve, and we’re getting a 5.07 percent addition in money from the cost of living that’s coming into our district, which in most districts it goes straight to their teachers because they’re the ones that deserve it.” District Superintendent Curt Dubost said much of the 20 percent reserves are funds intended “for, first and foremost, COVID protection measures, also learning loss mitigation from the closure

Commentary

BY NAMI SLO COUNTY BOARD

Independent oversight The recent Department of Justice report on the SLO County Jail highlights need for a citizens’ commission

ear members of the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors: John Peschong, Bruce Gibson, Dawn Ortiz-Legg, Lynn Compton, and Debbie Arnold. We are shocked, disappointed, and saddened by the findings of the Department of Justice in its recent report on our county jail. That so many serious infractions continue even after the adjustments made following the death of Andrew Holland is unacceptable and requires immediate response. The report notes that some time ago

the jail hired the chief medical officer of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office to conduct an audit of the jail’s medical and mental health services, which identified the need for centralized oversight of prisoner health care. While a better centralized system has been brought to the jail, the needs of the inmates have not been heard nor has their care significantly improved. After listing serious shortcomings in medical screening, diagnosis, treatment, and continuity of care, the report states that the jail appears to be callously indifferent to prisoners’ requests for medical and mental health services, placing them at risk of serious harm and even death. The report cites excessive use of force and the subjection of mentally ill prisoners to prolonged use of restrictive housing, which keeps them isolated and exacerbates their symptoms. These prisoners are also denied equal access to

services, programs, and activities because of their disabilities, which violates the Americans with Disabilities Act. These are failures that violate prisoners’ constitutional rights guaranteed by the Eighth and 14th Amendments. It is the jail’s “disregard to obvious risks to health and safety” which has developed a culture within our jail that has led to the “pattern and practice” that the Department of Justice deems must be improved. The report outlines dozens of infractions, which, at minimum, must be rectified quickly or legal action will ensue. It is your responsibility to ensure that these conditions are rectified immediately to protect the health and safety of the prisoners and to ensure that further violations of civil rights do not occur at our jail. We call upon you to form an independent citizens’ oversight commission using AB 1185 to monitor the operation of the jail and review grievances that arise.

This independent commission must be composed of civilians who can assist the board with its duties required pursuant to section 25303 that relate to overseeing the sheriff. The bill authorizes the chair of the oversight board and the inspector general to issue a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum when deemed necessary to investigate a matter within their jurisdiction. It is only through independent oversight that we can be assured that effective change will happen. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) has a moral obligation to ensure that the population of the jail will be humanely treated and receive the care that is guaranteed to them as their constitutional right. We will be doing that by holding you accountable to improve the operations within our county jail. ∆ The members of NAMI San Luis Obispo County’s board of directors wrote this commentary—Pam Zweifel, Donna Klein, Nancy Griffin, John Klimala, Aurora William, Lynda Cohen, and Diana Wilson.

While the executive director of SLOCOG says, “There are some very smart people who are looking at this corridor” (“Officials eye roundabouts for Highway 227, residents ‘not convinced,’” Oct. 14), I am not sure they have common sense. I agree that I would like to know if they have taken into consideration the trucks and farm vehicles, but nowhere have I seen bicyclists mentioned. There are a lot of them on 227. Maybe if they drove in both directions during the rush hours they might have a clue. Frances Strauser MUSIC Arroyo Grande

ell, just when we figured that the pandemic was finally in our rearview mirrors, the virus has come roaring back, and the blame is now being focused on all those red-state antivaxxers. The pandemic and the vaccine have been politically weaponized. Caveat: It is dumb to refuse vaccination, and I have myself been vaccinated. While I had a few doubts about the vaccine, they were outweighed by the far greater risk represented by catching COVID-19. As in much of life, it was simply a matter of weighing the respective risks. But I can also understand why so many would be distrustful of the unrelenting drumbeat of public assurances that we have received about vaccination. We live in a time of widespread distrust of our institutions generally, and in this pandemic our institutions have shamelessly squandered their credibility. Both sides have been dishonest and guilty of politicizing the pandemic and the vaccine. How did we get here? To answer with a juvenile whine: “You Democrats started it!” Recall that Biden and the Democrats initially attacked Trump’s prudent travel restrictions with China as “xenophobic,” and claimed that the threat of a pandemic was merely a tactic to distract public attention from the impeachment proceedings which had them so worked up. Oops. Then, the Democrats and media engaged in a continuing campaign to shout down any discussion of the now widely accepted theory that the COVID-19 virus escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China, branding anyone who dared accept that theory as a racist who was inciting violence against Asians. They are quieter now that the FBI has concluded with “moderate confidence” that the virus came from the lab, although other agencies lean towards a natural origin. Perhaps they should have considered the conflict of interest of the scientists and officials leading the attack, and their role in funding the dangerous research at the Wuhan lab. Of course, we witnessed the flipflopping of Dr. Fauci on the protection afforded by wearing masks. First they were recommended protection. Then, once supplies ran low and he wanted to conserve them for medical professionals, we were assured that they really don’t help much and we needn’t bother. And finally, with the supply of masks restored, the advice has returned to not just recommending them, but requiring them. The efficacy of masks for protection has remained constant, but the agenda has changed. In October, we had now-Vice President Kamala Harris casting doubt on the vaccine when she said, “If Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I’m not taking it.” The same vaccine suddenly became so safe and effective once a Democrat took office that she wants it to be mandatory. The media has dishonestly depicted anti-vaxx sentiments as only occurring among White Republicans in red states. For example, although African Americans in Texas are only one-sixth as likely to get vaccinated as are White Texans, when Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick of that state noted this, and the fact that they are a solidly Democratic constituency, the

liberal media retreated to their usual “go-to” accusation for everything they find uncomfortable, and cried “racism!” In their relentless efforts to depict red state folks as uneducated primitives, the media gleefully reported that MAGA folks were taking a veterinary anti-parasitic remedy, neglecting to mention that Ivermectin is also an FDA approved drug for humans. The impeccably honest Rachel Maddow falsely reported that one hospital in Oklahoma had been overwhelmed with Ivermectin overdoses, with her usual “can you believe these dolts?” smirk, and then refused to retract her hoax until shamed into it. Of course, we recall how the media blamed Trump for the death of an idiot who took an aquarium cleaning product because its name sounded similar to hydroxychloroquine, another FDA approved drug. We recall their undisputable scientific savvy when they concluded that mass demonstrations of screaming social justice warriors were safe, while spring break on the beach was suicidal. With a record like that, it is no wonder than many would be skeptical of the media’s enthusiastic endorsement of the vaccine. Viewing the vaccine with some caution is understandable. This is a new disease with new vaccines. We have no long-term experiences to draw upon. A substantial number of breakthrough infections, hospitalizations, and deaths have been reported. While I find the benefits of taking the vaccine worth the risk, the performance of our institutions helps me understand why others might suspect that their assurances are merely “group think.” Science shouldn’t be merely a reflection of what Twitter and other social media think. In their shrill portrayal of vaccine skeptics as ignorant, uneducated, and unhinged, the media has incited much of the resistance to the vaccine, and inspired some of the nuttier theories going around. Dishonest and partisan reporting is guaranteed to harden positions. If you want to be believed, you should first prove yourself trustworthy. As the old saying goes: “Trick me once, shame on you. Trick me twice, shame on me.” Our media and government institutions can only blame themselves for vaccine resistance. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney in Pismo Beach who is just as tired of the pandemic as you are.

o you know which business is the top sales tax producer in all of Grover Beach? Hold your breath and exhale slowly … because it’s a cannabis dispensary. Yes, Natural Healing Center (NHC) claims it fills Grover Beach’s tax coffers like a big bong rip fills pot smokers’ lungs … cough, cough, cougher. You’d think the city of SLO would like some of that fat marijuana money, but nope to dope. Well, at least one company’s dope. The city just decided once and for all to rescind Natural Healing Center’s permit to open a brick-and-mortar pot shop at 2640 Broad St. It’s a big bummer for NHC, which has poured a lot of money into the new building that was supposed to be opened more than a year ago. According to SLO city ordinance, once a permit is issued, the shop is supposed to open within a year. This one’s going on two. The decision to terminate, according to the city, is because NHC’s former big cheese, Helios Raphael “Bobby” Dayspring, is a liar-liar pants-on-fire who misrepresented himself when filing for the permit. “An applicant submitted false or misleading information about criminal misconduct to city officials in the business’s permit application,” according to the city’s news release. “Effective immediately, the business will not be permitted to operate in San Luis Obispo.” “No fair,” cried NHC’s new CEO Valnette Garcia! “Dayspring is no

Helios also pleaded guilty to evading taxes, for which he will pay $3.4 million to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He’s also agreed to cooperate in the government’s ongoing investigation, which might help lower his potential prison sentence. The statutory max for his two offenses is 13 years in federal prison. Oh, and the reason he’s no longer with NHC is because he transferred his ownership share to … wait for it … Valnette Garcia, his girlfriend! Oh the tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive. NHC’s attorney, Randall Fox, appealed to the city to reconsider its decision: “The city’s stated factual determinations are erroneous. You have attempted to disqualify and terminate NHC’s permit based on the alleged conduct of one of its former members, who was neither the legal ‘applicant’ nor the permit holder. As the application form makes clear, NHC was the applicant, and is the operator permit holder.” Well, that’s an adorable attempt to escape culpability, but everyone involved knows Helios was at the helm of the company during the application process.

Numskull and Good Medicine book two multi-band extravaganzas

f you’re looking for a little variety in your concert experience, Numbskull Productions and Good Medicine Presents have cooked up two amazing concerts this week with a stack of great bands at both shows. It all starts this Friday, Oct. 22, when Dustbowl Revival and The Mother Hips share the bill at Castoro Cellars (doors at 6 p.m.; all ages; $30 plus fees presale at eventbrite.com or $35 at the door). Dustbowl Revival has really evolved over the years, working in and around Americana sounds. But their horn section brings in a lot of jazz, soul, and R&B elements. You just can’t pigeonhole this band’s sound. Led by songwriter and singer Z. Lupetin and featuring founding members Josh Heffernan and Ulf Bjorlin, the band didn’t escape the pandemic unscathed. Former singer Liz Beebe left the band, but her replacement—Lashon Halley— has arrived with her own unique addition to the Dustbowl sound. She’s got the sass and swagger of an R&B powerhouse, which you can really feel on “Feels Good.” In 2020, the band teamed with producer Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Josh Ritter) and engineer Brian Joseph (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens) on Is It You, Is It Me, an album that explores the intersection between folk and funk. It’s also surprisingly political, especially on the potent “Get Rid of You,” which was “inspired by the student activists who emerged from the tragic Parkland High School shooting in Florida,” according to press materials. The song is an emotion bomb! Over the past 13 years, Dustbowl Revival has really come into its own. It all started when Lupetin arrived in LA from the Midwest and shared an ad on Craigslist looking for “fellow musicians who shared his roving love of Louis Armstrong, Bob Wills, Old Crow Medicine Show, Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin, and the brass bands of New Orleans, but also wanted to write songs like Americana pioneers Wilco, Lucinda Williams, and even Bruce Springsteen.” “Maybe we don’t know where this journey will take us or how long it will last,” Lupetin acknowledged. “That’s my take on the importance of what we try to do. Music elevates us, lifts us up, makes us change our minds, takes us out of our comfort zones. If just one person can be moved by just one song, that’s enough.” Quintessential California rockers The Mother Hips also have a new album out, Glowing Lantern, of which co-founder Tim Bluhm said, “The glowing lantern is a universal symbol for sanctuary. That’s what we wanted this album to be: a warm safe place to get in out of the dark cold night.”

Ethan Snoreck was just a 15-year-old kid living in Chicago when he dropped his remix of “XE3” by MssingNo to Vine. Later it landed on SoundCloud, where the track blew up, with 13 million plays and climbing. Now the busy 22-year-old DJ and producer known professionally as Whethan is a hot commodity, and this Friday, Oct. 22, he’ll play the Fremont Theater (8 p.m.; 18-and-older; $28 plus fees at fremontslo.com). According to his bio, he “likes his music either very loud or very quiet. A hard-working producer and DJ, known for arena-pummeling collaborations and remixes, the loud part makes sense. Listen to his explosive take on ‘XE3’ by MssingNo and it’s obvious this is a young man who understands losing himself in low end. The quiet part, though, that’s the surprise. When listening quietly, he explains that he’s accessing the most musical part of the song: ‘I’m not listening to the bass, I’m just getting the vocal—the highest part of the frequency. You can hear that clearly and imagine everything else.’”

Gallery at Marina Square showcases four photographers and one acrylic painter in latest exhibits

Gallery at Marina Square in Morro Bay presents Between the Tides, a group exhibition showcasing photographed landscapes and seascapes of coastal areas throughout the Central Coast, through Friday, Oct. 29. This exhibit features works by four different photographers: Kerry Drager, Teresa Ferguson, Greg Siragusa, and Dominic Hartman. Between the Tides is on display in the venue’s upper gallery, while its lower gallery is currently hosting a showcase of fine art acrylic paintings by self-taught artist Atul Pande, whose nonobjective works usually fall in the modern expressionist category. “I work in an intuitive manner, exploring line, form, and color, but without a goal in mind,” Pande said in a press release from Gallery at Marina Square. “My upbringing in colorful India and my training as a physician and scientist inspire me to meld colors and shapes on the canvas to create organic forms that spontaneously engage viewers.” Although Pande’s abstract combinations of lines and shapes can be perceived as particular objects, “this is rarely by design,” said the artist, who added that this result is “an indication that the viewer has engaged on multiple levels beyond just the immediate visual interest of the piece.” Pande’s paintings will remain on display through Friday, Oct. 29. For more info on Gallery at Marina Square’s current exhibits and upcoming programming, call the gallery directly at (805) 772-1068 or visit galleryatmarinasquare. com. Gallery at Marina Square is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 601 Embarcadero, suite 10, Morro Bay.

Medieval AF

idley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) directs this historical drama written by Nicole Holofcener and two of its stars, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting). The year is 1386, and Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer) claims Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver)—her husband’s purported friend— raped her. Marguerite demands justice, and King Charles VI (Alex Lawther) grants her husband, knight Jean de Carrouges (Damon), the right to challenge Le Gris to trial by combat, in what was the last legally sanctioned duel in France’s history. The film features Affleck as Count Pierre d’Alençon. (152 min.) Glen If—in light of the #MeToo movement—you’re not furious enough, The Last Duel will set your blood to boil. As misogynistic as things are now, apparently pre-Renaissance-period France was the equivalent of the tail-end of a long and drunken frat party thrown by man-babies who believed God’s forgiveness was only a confession away. Women were possessions, and if you raped another man’s wife, the crime was against the husband, not his wife. Throw in a little “you can’t get pregnant from rape because a baby can only be conceived if the woman orgasms, and if the woman orgasms it isn’t rape,” and you’ve got a big old plate of triggering pie. Uncomfortable sex scenes abound, especially considering the tale is told three times from various perspectives à la Rashomon (1950); hence, we get to see the “event” over and over. Jean de Carrouges is the equivalent of a meat-headed sports hero—full of himself and easily offended. In short, he’s self-entitled, not bright enough to see the political machinations going on around him, with a quick-to-anger ego that’s his own worst enemy. Jacque Le Gris is sycophantically ambitious, overly cocksure, and incapable of realizing a woman may not be attracted to him. He’s the pretty-boy dandy who thinks he’s God’s gift to the ladies. The two are alike enough to be friends but competitive enough to become enemies. When they finally square off at story’s end in mortal combat—the winner apparently being the one God

rom Mike Flannigan, the mind behind Netflix’s hit horror series The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, comes the platform’s newest spooky sensation, Midnight Mass. Once again using a handful of the same cast that appeared in his previous two series, Flannigan now creates a world on a small island and the few dozen residents left behind after economic turmoil and a downturn in their fishing industry. At the center of the story is Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford), who’s leaving the prison system after causing an accident that continues to haunt him and stripped him of his devout faith he had from his Catholic upbringing. He’s returning to the island and to his family and his past—both memories he cherishes and those he wants to forget. The focus on Riley soon opens up to the fellow island inhabitants

and the new priest, Father Paul (Hamish Linklater), who has come to take over for the island’s ailing elder priest who’s believed to be recovering on the mainland. Churchwoman Bev Keane (Samantha Sloyan) is devout to a fault, a meddling and unforgiving second in command at St. Patrick’s, and Sloyan turns out quite a performance here. As with Flannigan’s storytelling style, we soon learn that there are dark and sinister happenings simmering just under the surface of this seemingly storybook town, and soon religious fervor and otherworldly monsters mutate and mingle.

orror master Wes Craven (The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare on Elm Street) directs this slasher film that both winked at and revitalized the genre upon its 1996 release. Tearing a page from Hitchcock’s Psycho, the film kills off early its ostensible star (Drew Barrymore) before settling into the actual central character, high schooler Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who’s also being stalked by a ghost-face-masked killer. The film becomes a whodunit as Sidney works to figure out who’s after her. Could it be her very own boyfriend, Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich); her father, Neil Prescott (Lawrence Hecht); her best friend Tatum

Riley’s (Rose McGowan) boyfriend, Stu Macher (Matthew Lilliard); or their friend Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy)? It all comes to a head at a party Stu throws after their high school is closed as the killer runs wild. The film is a hoot from beginning to end. In addition to spoofing the slasher genre, the film gets its digs into the media in the form of sensationalist TV journalist Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), who descends on the town to cover the murders. If you’ve never seen it, it’s essential viewing. If you have, it bears repeated viewings to catch all the slasher tropes. (111 min.) Δ —Glen

Hotel SLO’s Ox + Anchor chef Ryan Fancher makes the Central Coast proud

PROFITEROLE PERFECTION From left, executive chef Ryan Fancher and chefs de partie Ray Martinez and Charlotte Becker work their magic in Ox + Anchor’s open-concept kitchen. Becker jazzes up choux pastries with Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate sauce, and caramelized banana.

ame-dropping is a habit with Ryan Fancher, executive chef at Hotel SLO’s three eateries—esteemed Ox + Anchor, casual Piadina, and flashy High Bar. But it’s not for the usual reason. He sidesteps taking credit for any of his accolades and instead defers compliments to individual team and family members. Sous chef Andrew Wycoff puts his expert stamp on Ox + Anchor’s “land- and sea-inspired dishes,” Fancher explained. Daniel Rivas, wine director and general manager of restaurants, deftly spearheads its winemaker dinners. At Piadina, Fancher himself whips up farm-fresh fare—with a significant assist from his wife and daughters—while chef Kenny Bigwood puts his unique spin on light fare at the hotel’s scenic rooftop eatery. That’s not to say Fancher doesn’t have his hands full. He expertly oversees kitchen team members at the 78-room, 10,000-square-foot San Luis Obispo hotel, giving advice or guidance when solicited. But his most endearing characteristic is humility, according to employees and colleagues. He gladly takes a back seat when possible, fostering a supportive and innovative work environment. “Ryan is the conductor of a dining orchestra, providing staff with the autonomy they need to develop and excel,” said Ryan Deovlet, winemaker for his own self-titled label as well as Biddle Ranch Vineyards in SLO. As a chef he possesses a killer trifecta of traits, Deovlet explained. “He is humble, classically trained, and yet experimental at the same time,” he said.

Deovlet witnessed team Fancher in action as part of Ox + Anchor’s winemaker dinner series. The series featured his wines not once, but twice—an impressive feat given the local competition. The hotel’s inaugural winemaker dinner series debuted in January 2020, shortly after the hotel celebrated its grand opening in December 2019. Rivas and Fancher nabbed Deovlet and his award-winning wines to kick off the series. Deovlet said Fancher welcomed his input on menu creation, and the end result was the best winemaker dinner he’s ever experienced. “We pushed each other to think outside the box,” Deovlet said, “and boy, did [Fancher] execute. He crushed it.” The inaugural team reunited in July of this year, hitting another winemaker dinner out of the park, Deovlet said. The six-course feast showcased Biddle Ranch selections. “I was very grateful and impressed with how Ryan and his team elevated our wines,” Deovlet said. Elevating Central Coast wines probably sounds oxymoronic to Fancher, who praises the area’s “big fruit-bomb cabs

and syrahs, to mild coastal-climate pinots, and everything in between,” he said. “Winemakers are amazing in this area.” Since launching in 2008, Deovlet’s wines have made Wine & Spirits’ “Top 100 Wineries” list four times, most recently in 2021. In fact, 10 of the list’s top 20 California wineries hail from the Central Coast. But it’s not about the awards, Deovlet says. It’s about connecting people—from creating the wine to sharing it with others. “It’s hard work,” he added. “It’s a calloused, gritty, blue-collar craft, but I love it.” Deovlet’s unassuming approach to winemaking echoes that of industry veteran Gary Eberle. In fact, Fancher said, “Ryan is like a young Gary. He is super cool and down to earth.” Speaking of Eberle, Fancher and Rivas tapped the 77-year-old Paso Robles winemaker to headline their most recent dinner on Oct. 12.

“I was surprised to be asked when there are so many good stories out there in the wine world,” Eberle said. Eberle keeps his wines at an affordable price point, and the awards keep pouring in. “A lot of these guys are charging $200 for a bottle of wine that is just average tasting,” he said. “They get beat up by three or four other wines that are only a quarter of the price. That’s kind of embarrassing.” In September, Eberle Winery took five gold and three platinum medals at the 14th annual Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition. The winemaker himself has won a slew of accolades, including the Rhone Rangers Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as Wine Enthusiast’s American Wine Legend, and the Robert Mondavi Wine and Food Award. It’s flattering, Eberle said, but the bottom line is “we are a winery, and our job is to produce great wine.” Fancher connects with Deovlet’s and FLAVOR continued page 32

NOTICE TO BIDDERS

NOTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of San Luis Obispo’s Community Development Director has determined that the following project is qualified for adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Project Title: Villages at the Palms Expansion Project Number: ARCH-0386-2020, USE-0387-2020, PDEV-0001-2021, EID-0528-2021 Project Applicant: Morrison I, LP Project Location: Primary Address: 55 Broad Street (APN 052-162-021, 052-162-018, 052-162-022) Project Description: The City of San Luis Obispo has completed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the proposed expansion of an existing residential care facility (Morrison I, LP; Applicant). The IS/MND found the following environmental factors to be less than significant with mitigation incorporated: Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. The project’s location is 55 Broad Street (APNs 052-162-021, 052-162-018, 052162-022), San Luis Obispo, CA. Based on a search of the California Department of Toxic Substances Control’s EnviroStor database, the State Water Resources Control Board’s GeoTracker database, and CalEPA’s Cortese List website, there is one closed Cleanup Program Site located approximately 380 feet northeast of the project side across Ramona Drive and four closed LUST sites located approximately 700 to 900 feet northeast of the project site along Foothill Boulevard. There are no open hazardous materials sites within the project area. The proposed project includes the expansion and operation of a residential care facility on the western portion of a 4.6-acre parcel located at the corner of the Ramona Drive and Palomar Avenue intersection. The property is zoned for High Density Residential Planned Development (R-4-PD). The expanded residential care facility would consist of two new buildings (Building A and Building B). As proposed, Building A includes a threestory building with 37 new units (eight studio units, 24 onebedroom units, and five two-bedroom units) and amenities, such as a commercial kitchen, dining room, living room, multi-purpose activities space, administrative offices, and a rooftop terrace. Building B includes a total of four floors, with the first two floors providing a parking garage and the upper two floors providing additional residential units (22 one-bedroom units). Project construction would require 1.31 acres of site disturbance and approximately 1,575 cubic yards (cy) of cut and 620 cy of fill for a total of 2,195 cy of earthwork. The Director’s determination was based on an environmental initial study prepared by City and Consultant staff in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Anyone can review this study on the City’s website at http://www.slocity.org/government/ department-directory/community-development/ documents-online/environmental-review-documents.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Tell me why you’re such a gorgeous creature. Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Even the wisest among us are susceptible to being fascinated by our emotional pain. Even those of us who do a lot of inner work may be captivated and entranced by frustrations and vexations and irritants. Our knotty problems make us interesting, even attractive! They shape our self-image. No wonder we are sometimes “intensely, even passionately, attached to suffering,” in the words of author Fyodor Dostoevsky. That’s the bad news. The good news, Aries, is that in the coming weeks, you will have extra power to divest yourself of sadness and distress and anxiety that you no longer need. I recommend you choose a few outmoded sources of unhappiness and enact a ritual to purge them.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Self-help author James Clear describes a scenario I urge you to keep in mind. He speaks of “a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two.” Clear adds that “it was not that last blow that did it—but all that had gone before.” You’ll thrive by cultivating that same patience and determination in the coming weeks, Libra. Proceed with dogged certainty that your sustained small efforts will eventually yield potent results.

TAURUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nobel Prize-winning poet Odysseus Elytis was speaking like a consummate Scorpio when he said, “What I love is always being born. What I love is beginning always.” Like most Scorpios, he knew an essential secret about how to ensure he could enjoy that intense rhythm: He had to be skilled in the art of metaphorical death. How else could he be born again and again? Every time he rose up anew into the world like a beginner, it was because he had shed old ideas, past obsessions, and worn-out tricks. I trust you’ve been attending to this transformative work in the past few weeks, Scorpio. Ready to be born again? Ready to begin anew? To achieve maximum renaissance, get rid of a few more things.

(April 20-May 20): In Norway, you don’t call your romantic partner “boyfriend” or “girlfriend.” You say kjaereste, which is gender neutral and is translated as “dearest.” In Sweden, you refer to your lover as älskling, meaning “my beloved one.” How about Finland? One term the Finns use for the person they love is kulta, which means gold. I hope you’ll be inspired by these words to experiment with new nicknames and titles for the allies you care for. It’s a favorable time to reinvent the images you project onto each other. I hope you will refine your assumptions about each other and upgrade your hopes for each other. Be playful and have fun as you enhance your empathy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The band Creedence Clearwater Revival, led by Gemini musician John Fogerty, achieved tremendous success with their rollicking sound and socially conscious lyrics. They sold 33 million records worldwide. In 1970, they were the best-selling band on the planet, exceeding even the Beatles. And yet, the band endured for just over four years. I foresee the possibility of a comparable phenomenon in your life during the coming months. Something that may not last forever will ultimately generate potent, long-term benefits. What might it be? Meditate on the possibility. Be alert for its coming. Create the conditions necessary for it to thrive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote, “I am unlike anyone I have ever met. I will even venture to say that I am like no one in the whole world. I may be no better, but at least I am different.” I urge you to make that your own affirmation in the coming weeks. It’s high time to boldly claim how utterly unique you are—to be full of reasonable pride about the fact that you have special qualities that no one in history has ever had. Bonus: The cosmos is also granting you permission to brag more than usual about your humility and sensitivity, as well as about your other fine qualities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Nigerian poet Ijeoma Umebinyuo writes, “I will always want myself. Always. Darling, I wrote myself a love poem two nights ago. I am a woman who grows flowers between her teeth. I dance myself out of pain. This wanting of myself gets stronger with age. I host myself to myself. I am whole.” I recommend you adopt Umebinyuo’s attitude as you upgrade your relationship with yourself during the coming weeks. It’s time for you to pledge to give yourself everything you wish a lover would offer you. You’re ready to claim more of your birthright as an ingenious, diligent self-nurturer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As author David Brooks reminds us, “Exposure to genius has the power to expand your consciousness. If you spend a lot of time with genius, your mind will end up bigger and broader than if you spend your time only with run-of-the-mill stuff.” I hope this strategy will be at the top of your priority list during the next four weeks. You will have abundant opportunities to put a lot of “excellent stuff into your brain,” as Brooks suggests. Uncoincidentally, you are also likely to be a rich source of inspiration and illumination yourself. I suspect people will recognize—even more than they usually do—that being around you will make them smarter. I suggest you help them realize that fact.

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I haven’t had enough sleep for years,” author Franz Kafka (1883-1924) once confessed to a friend. It showed in his work, which was brilliant but gaunt and haunted. He wrote stories that would be written by a person who was not only sleep-deprived but dream-deprived. The anxiety he might have purged from his system through sleep instead spilled out into the writing he did in waking life. Anyway, I’m hoping you will make Kafka your anti-role model as you catch up on the sleep you’ve missed out on. The coming weeks will be a fantastic time to fall in love with the odd, unpredictable, regenerative stories that well up from your subconscious depths while you’re in bed at night. They will refresh your imagination in all the right ways.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The reason life works at all is that not everyone in your tribe is nuts on the same day,” writes author Anne Lamott. I will add that on rare occasions, virtually everyone in your tribe is functioning at high levels of competency and confidence. According to my analysis, now is one of those times. That’s why I encourage you to take extraordinary measures to marshal your tribe’s creative, constructive efforts. I believe that together you can collaborate to generate wonders and marvels that aren’t normally achievable. Group synergy is potentially at a peak— and will be fully activated if you help lead the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I believe your plan for the rest of 2021 should borrow from the mini-manifesto that Aquarian author Virginia Woolf formulated at age 51: “I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one’s self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.” Does that sound like fun, Aquarius? It should be—although it may require you to overcome temptations to retreat into excess comfort and inertia.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Anyone who isn’t embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn’t learning enough,” writes author and philosopher Alain de Botton. That’s too extreme a statement for my taste. But I agree with the gist of his comment. If we are not constantly outgrowing who we are, we are not sufficiently alert and alive. Luckily for you, Pisces, you are now in a phase of rapid ripening. At least you should be. The cosmos is conspiring to help you learn how to become a more vibrant and authentic version of yourself. Please cooperate! Seek all available updates. ∆
