SLO city moves forward on mobile crisis unit S an Luis Obispo’s new pilot program to address homelessness and mental health issues is a direct response to community concerns, Mayor Heidi Harmon said during the Aug. 24 City Council meeting.

“There’s been so many policies we’ve made that we’ve incorporated the community’s voices on, and this is one,” Harmon said. “This is so exciting; I’m really glad to see this come forward.”

Approved as part of the City Council’s 202122 budget discussions earlier this year, on Aug. 23 the council gave San Luis Obispo Fire Department Chief Keith Aggson the go-ahead to contract services for a mental health clinician and purchase a vehicle to start the mobile crisis unit, which will focus on issues related to mental health, homelessness, and addiction.

The two-year pilot program is inspired by similar programs in Eugene, Oregon, and San Francisco and Oakland—which have mental health crisis units run by their respective fire departments.

Aggson said a team consisting of a certified EMT (emergency medical technician) and a mental health clinician will respond to certain calls for service from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The fire chief said he’s working with dispatch to determine a series of questions that dispatchers can ask to figure out whether to send the mobile crisis unit, the unit and police officers, or the unit and fire department officials to a call.

“Pretty interesting and pretty exciting that we’re moving in the right direction on this,” Aggson said during the Aug. 24 meeting. “It’s pretty much every day where we’re running a wide variety of homeless and mental health calls.”

The mobile crisis unit will work conjunctively with the city’s new homeless services coordinator, the San Luis Obispo Police Department’s CAT (community action

Arroyo Grande urges conservation after county passes plan to cut reservoir deliveries

San Luis Obispo County is officially in a state of “extreme drought,” prompting authorities to urge water conservation across the region and try to keep more water in local reservoirs.

The county Board of Supervisors declared a local drought emergency in June 2021, two months before the U.S. Drought Monitor slapped the “extreme” tag on SLO. The county’s answer to beating the heat? The Low Reservoir Response Plan (LRRP).

During its Aug. 24 meeting, the board approved the plan, which was developed by an advisory committee during the last drought.

The committee’s goal was to preserve water bodies for as long as possible, since Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, Oceano, and Avila Beach depend on Lopez Lake for drinking water.

NEW UNIT The San Luis Obispo Fire Department hopes to have the city’s new mobile crisis unit, which will focus on mental health, homeless, and addiction issues, up and running by late October.

team), SLO County Behavioral Health, and Transitions-Mental Health Association to determine the services that people need and ensure that they receive them. To measure success and track data, the unit will collect information on the number of contacts it makes, how often it makes contact with the same people, how many contacts it takes to get them services, and what services are needed.

“One of the biggest challenges of this program is a lot of individuals, they may not want services, they may tell us no,” Aggson said. “So what does it take to get them into the service that they need?”

It will also track what times of day, what days of the week, and what areas of the city where calls for mental health crisis services are made, so the program can adjust accordingly. Aggson said the unit will measure success based on

things like the number of citizens who become housed, suicide and crisis intervention, and reduction in dependency on the emergency room services.

He’s hoping that everything will be in place to start the program by October.

According the a city staff report, SLO aims to provide “evidence of effective programming for the county of San Luis Obispo to adopt and expand upon as the agency with dedicated funding for social services.” Harmon reiterated that during the meeting, saying that the county gets millions of dollars every year to provide those services, while the city gets zero.

“Advocate to the county to spend that money where it needs to be spent,” she said. “We really need those dollars within our city limits.” Δ —Camillia Lanham

“Arroyo Grande, specifically, has a water conservation program that they’ve kept going since the last drought,” county Public Works Deputy Director Kate Ballantyne said.

As one of the water contractors involved in the LRRP, Arroyo Grande (and others) agreed to take a 10 percent reduction from Lopez when its capacity hits a certain level to help keep water in the lake for another three to four years.

“We don’t want a reduction, but we have to because the lake is dropping and that’s prescribed by the LRRP to try and help the lake keep as much water in it,” said Shane Taylor, the city Public Works Department’s utility manager who presented an update to Arroyo Grande City Council on Aug. 24.

Taylor told New Times that Lopez sits at about 32 percent capacity right now—or a little less than 16,364 acre-feet of water. The LRRP will go into effect once Lopez reaches the trigger point of 15,000 acre-feet or less. Ballantyne said that the county anticipates this happening at the beginning of October. But Taylor thinks it

could happen much sooner.

“We’re probably going to have reduced delivery, maybe even today. But I haven’t heard from the county yet,” he said on Aug. 25.

A 10 percent water supply reduction for Arroyo Grande means losing out on what Taylor quantified as “150 gallons per minute” or 216,000 gallons a day. Though reluctant about the change, the city sees it as a necessity to stretch out a nonrenewable resource.

Arroyo Grande isn’t alone. All regions that depend on Lopez will be taking a water delivery hit.

With the California State Water Project only allotting 5 percent of its water deliveries this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom urged residents to reduce water use by 15 percent this summer.

Taylor also urged Arroyo Grande residents (from individuals to commercial irrigation) to cut back. This is why the city plans to implement a Stage 1 water shortage emergency, which allows the city to mandate reductions in water use. The NEWS continued page 6

Arroyo Grande City Council will consider the matter on Sept. 28.

“They’re all [residents] affected, some more than others. Some might not even have to do anything because they are already using very little water. But we have to prescribe percentage reductions,” he said.

The county plans to help regions touched by drought through regular check-ins and mass drought awareness education. Ballantyne mentioned the drought task force led by the county Office of Emergency Services, which keeps track of communities like Arroyo Grande. Its water conservation media campaigns can help cities with public messaging.

“We need everyone to do their part to save as much water as possible until we get rain. Watch your irrigation, only water when necessary, cut back on irrigation of your lawn, cut back on showers, only full loads of laundry, fix all the leaks in your house, just be conscious of your usage,” Taylor said.

SLO County develops tools to sell, transfer, and exchange state water

Fifth District SLO County Supervisor Debbie Arnold’s concerns about groundwater banking persist as the county takes steps to enable more flexibility for its unused State Water Project water.

“I’ve been pretty clear all along, I don’t want to ever see our basins here in the county be used for groundwater banks at all, especially with state water,” Arnold said during the Aug. 24 Board of Supervisors meeting. “If we have excess state water, I think we start to concentrate—where we build the infrastructure to put it in above ground storage like Lopez [Lake], so that people in our county can use it. … But not groundwater banking.”

Currently, the State Water Project allocates SLO County a maximum of up to 25,000 acre-feet of state water per year. However, the county only has the ability to treat and convey about 5,000 acre-feet of that water per year and is allowed to store an additional 5,000 acre-feet of water per year in San Luis Reservoir. The county can tap into that water for use in years such as this one, where the Department of Water Resources allocates less than 100 percent of its contracted deliveries.

In March, supervisors approved amendments to the county’s long-term water supply contract with the state that give State Water Project contractors, such as San Luis Obispo, more management tools. This includes the ability to sell, store, and transfer available water; to use San Luis Reservoir as an exchange/ transfer point; and use storage locations other than San Luis Reservoir. At the time, supervisors directed the Water Resources Division to come back with language that could be included to prevent its state water from being used for groundwater banking.

Water Resource Division Manager Courtney Howard told supervisors on Aug. 24 that the contract amendments give the county and its subcontractors

6 • New Times • August 26 - September 2, 2021 • www.newtimesslo.com

(cities, community services districts) the ability to recover some of the costs for using State Water Project water. If Shandon, for example, chooses not to use its full State Water Project allocation, it could sell that water and use the money for things such as improving water infrastructure. Or if water is about to spill out of San Luis Reservoir, the county could sell that water and defer costs to taxpayers.

County staff proposed a two-step approval process for exchange or transfer opportunities to water basins that the state identifies as “critical” (such as the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin). As part of that process, Howard said, the county would have time to include language that could limit the ability of the buyer or recipient to bank it. The county could remain the owner of the water, reserve the right to recapture that water, or restrict the ways in which it could be used.

While Arnold said she believed any sale or transfer of state water would “come back to bite us,” South County Supervisors Dawn Ortiz-Legg and Lynn Compton said the constituents they served needed all tools they could get.

Much of South SLO County depends on state water, which gets stored in Lopez Lake. The lake currently holds less than a third of its capacity with little hope for additional state water and looming delivery restrictions due to the drought emergency.

Compton said she felt there were enough checks and balances in the twostage review process proposed to stop something nefarious from happening.

Supervisors approved staff’s proposal 4-1, with Arnold in opposition.

“This gives us the ability to exchange with some of the other state water contractors,” Compton said. “For me, you know, I just have to protect my constituents down south and make sure we don’t run out of water.”

Public Works recommended that the city issue a $10 million bond from the $20 million remaining to fund an additional five projects that would span five years.

If the city completes its 13th K-14 funded project in the fall, Grover Beach will have rebuilt 60 percent of the streets that were earmarked for repair under the measure. These projects span mostly residential streets across several city blocks.

Though the pace of projects has been relatively quick, the city slowed down in 2017. That year, Grover Beach drew $15 million in bonds to start construction on some projects. With only a little more than $4 million left from those bonds, the incomplete projects are expected to be finished in the next three years.

“We exceeded the time period necessary to sufficiently draw the funds as required by the bonding agencies that we are working with. You have to draw down the bonds in a short period of years,” Ray said at the meeting.

He added that street reconstruction does not exist in isolation. Once renovated, streets are subject to constant wear and tear in the car-dependent beach city. Street maintenance costs are roughly $1.5 million per year alone.

“The long-term maintenance costs of $1.5 million referenced in our staff report are considerable but necessary to maintain our investment in improved streets once all the streets are completed over the next 10 years,” City Manager Matthew Bronson told New Times.

“We will work to accommodate these costs within our budget in our future planning.”

In 2013, Grover Beach worked with bond consultants to identify the city’s maximum bonding capacity for street repairs, which was determined to be around $48 million.

“The council ultimately decided to propose a $48 million bond measure for voter approval and identified the streets to be included in the program at that time,” Ray told New Times.

This also meant that there was no Grover Beach room to fund renovations on major wants more funding streets. The city could spend general fund dollars, but Ray said that it would be to fix its streets quite a while before those streets saw any Grover Beach may allow its Public improvement.

Reliving the trauma Health care workers are still grappling with the trauma of the past year as COVID-19 surges again

H

ealth care workers are no strangers to witnessing suffering and death. But COVID-19 was different. The professionals not only treated their patients, they also offered company in the absence of family and friends. French Hospital telemetry nurse Tamara Astorga said it was hard to see her patients be so secluded.

“In order to support people, you have to put them on so much oxygen. It’s hard to breathe, you can hardly talk,” she said.

“And the other thing is that we have to isolate those people. They’re just alone in a room. There was a striking loneliness to the isolation of it.”

Brittany Martinez, an ICU nurse at French Hospital, said “relentless” is the word that best sums up her experience.

“Typically I think that we are able to get through traumatic experiences in the ICU because there’s usually an ebb and flow,” she said. “We have periods that are hard, but then periods that have a lot more success stories and people do better. … But I think throughout the course of the year, it sort of slowly built up.”

The 2020-21 winter surge months were the hardest for Martinez.

“A lot of COVID patients, when they get sick, they are with us for months at a time,” she said. “But when you’re critically ill like that, the issues sort of compound, they pile on top of each other, until eventually the person you’re looking at is sort of a shell of who they once were. … It was very defeating, and I felt very helpless.”

For Dr. Alicia Gonzalez, medical director of Marian Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Department, one of the hardest parts of COVID-19 is not being able to escape work outside of the hospital.

“It was so much more than just seeing sick people,” she said. “It was arguments about masking or vaccination or ‘is this even real?’ And I think for our staff, the reality of having to see what we saw at work, and then leave the building into communities where maybe people questioned that it was real, or if we were telling the truth—that took a way bigger emotional toll on all of us.”

As the world began to reopen in the

spring, bringing some normalcy back to average people’s lives, health care workers everywhere were still stuck processing the horrors they endured and the trauma they now live with. And as the number of hospitalized patients is now ticking back up in SLO and Santa Barbara counties, Central Coast nurses, doctors, and other health care workers are bracing to do it all over again. Nurses and doctors say getting through it requires leaning on mental health resources—and each other.

Prioritizing mental health From June to September 2020, Mental Health America hosted a survey of health care workers to see how COVID-19 was affecting them.

“Ninety three percent of health care workers were experiencing stress, 86 percent reported experiencing anxiety, 77 percent reported frustration, 76 percent reported exhaustion and burnout, and 75 percent said they were overwhelmed,” the results said.

The majority of workers also reported feeling emotionally exhausted, having trouble sleeping, physical exhaustion, and work-related dread.

Because of the nature of health care workers’ jobs, hospitals already had a slew of mental health resources available to employees pre-pandemic. Dignity Health, Lompoc Valley Medical Center, and Cottage Health all have an employee assistance program and counseling options for staff. But what health care workers were experiencing with COVID-19 required more.

Lompoc Valley Medical Center Chief of Quality Improvement, Risk Management, and Infection Prevention Melissa DeBacker, MSN, leads the Healing the Healers initiative, which stemmed from the hospital’s COVID-19 task force. The hospital invited a local licensed therapist who was available to talk with any employee who needed to. It was completely confidential and free to all staff.

DeBacker said, from her observations, health care workers leaned on these

and dying when these outcomes are now largely preventable.

“It’s such a difficult debate because most of these people just want more information, but how long are you going to wait?” French hospital nurse Astorga said. “It’s an interesting stretch in compassion that we hadn’t really had to MUSIC deal with prior to COVID either.”

But at the end of the day, Astorga continued, being a health care worker FLAVOR/EATS is about staying neutral and doing everything you can to care for the human It’s still here INFO in front of you.

“You don’t realize in the moment: Your adrenaline’s going, you’re doing what you need to do,” she said. “Later on, some of our staff started struggling with being able to sleep; started having scenarios repeating that upset them. It was later that people began understanding, ‘I might need to talk to somebody.’ That’s absolutely normal.”

All together now Edna Valley farmers, residents, and water companies collaborate on plan to stabilize groundwater basin

W

ater wells in the Edna Valley used to be shallow: “You could put a well to 30 or 40 feet. Well that’s just kind of unrealistic [now],” Edna Valley Growers Mutual Company President Bob Schiebelhut said.

Some of those shallow wells didn’t make it through the last drought, drying up and forcing landowners to drill a little deeper. Now in a new drought, Edna Valley farmers and residents are once again praying for rain, Schiebelhut said.

But they’re also moving forward with SLO County and the city of SLO on a plan to make their groundwater more drought resilient. The 30-day comment period on a draft of that plan—which covers approximately 20 square miles from the city of San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly to Lopez Reservoir just before Orcutt Road meets Lopez Drive—ends on Sept. 19.

“We committed as a group that we were all going to be collaborative, you know, we’re all in this together,” Schiebelhut, who grows grapes in the valley, said.

“We’re going to agree to have all our wells metered. We need to know what’s going on. … We have a pretty good idea of what’s going on, but we’re going to know a lot more once we get the wells metered.”

Metering a system of about 40 wells in the Edna Valley is part of a plan designed to bring its overdrafted groundwater basin back into balance. Currently, about 1,100 acre-feet too much water is being pumped out of the San Luis Obispo Valley Groundwater Basin per year. California labeled the basin as a high priority under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and required basin stakeholders to come up with a plan to make it a more sustainable resource.

Passed in 2014, SGMA changed the

way property owners interact with the water underneath their properties.

Before 2014, groundwater pumping wasn’t managed or regulated in the state. SGMA required stakeholders in overdrafted basins to come up with management plans that help make their water basins more sustainable through a combination of projects that supplement groundwater with other water sources and management actions that reduce the amount of water pumped out of the basin.

The Paso Robles Groundwater Basin is in a similar situation, but tension between basin stakeholders split water users into factions wrestling for control over the plan. In the Edna Valley, growers, residents, water companies, and SLO city and county came together to “do the best we can to solve the problem,” Schiebelhut said.

“We thought we owned our water and we paid for it, and now we understand that it’s going to be treated like a public resource, and that’s the way it is,” Schiebelhut said. “We’re forming a government out here, you know, a new regulatory scheme, so let’s do the best we can.”

Split into geological halves, the SLO Valley water basin has two separate subbasins: One runs beneath the city of SLO and some surrounding unincorporated areas, while the other lies beneath the Edna Valley. SLO Deputy Director of Utilities Mychal Boerman said a large bedrock divide restricts the groundwater flow from the Edna Valley portion to the SLO portion.

“Our side of the basin is in really good condition, and at this point, what we believe to be a 700 acre-feet per year groundwater surplus,” Boerman said.

With 10 existing well-monitoring sites in the basin, the groundwater sustainability plan calls for introducing 30 more, plus more stream gauges in West and East Corral de Piedra creeks.

BORN: OCTOBER 1946 • DECEASED: AUGUST 18, 2021

Don Wallis FINAL CURTAIN Don “The Puppet Man” Wallis, 74, a fixture of the SLO County arts scene who performed more than 9,000 puppet shows in his long career, has taken his final bow.

Farewell to The Puppet Man

D

on “The Puppet Man” Wallis, 74, was born in San Luis Obispo in Oct. 1946, and passed away on Aug. 18 in French Hospital after a coronary following a long battle with COPD. Wallis was a fixture of the SLO arts scene. He founded two local theater groups, acted in 100 roles on stage and radio, including one-man shows as Mark Twain and John Muir, and performed more than 9,000 puppet shows. He wrote hundreds of poems, more than 60 of which were published in newspapers and magazines, and many more in two poetry collections, Two Provincial Voices: Selected Poems of James D. Owen and Don Wallis and The Puppet Man: New & Selected Poems.

Wallis studied Intellectual and Cultural History of the Modern World, Literature, and Theater Arts at Cuesta College, Cal Poly, and UCSB. He was also a peace activist.

During the Vietnam War, he did alternative Conscientious Objector service in Berkeley, suffered a mental breakdown after the ’69 Berkeley riots, and eventually returned to

and recovered in SLO where he threw himself into the arts.

As a spokesman for children, mental health, and social change, Wallis was deeply empathetic and used his art to make sense of a senseless world.

Close friend Mike Cowdrey recalled, “We sat and talked for more than an hour on Monday afternoon [two days before his death]. The current plight of children in Afghanistan and Haiti was high among his concerns.”

He is preceded in death by his father, Robert R. Wallis; his mother, Emma H. (Tillman) Wallis-Mazza; and his brother, Milo W. Wallis. He’s survived by his brother and sister-inlaw, John L. and Denise Wallis; his nieces, Melissa (Wallis) Dasker and husband Dale, Mona Wallis, Kelly (Wallis) Castro and husband Paul; his nephew Robert L. Wallis; greatnieces Jazmine Castro, Alexander Dasker, and Holly Sullivan; and his great-nephews Miles Dasker, Vaughn Wallis, and Thomas Wallis. •

You have the power We’re your therapists. We’re tired and almost broken. Time to do your part.

P

andemic stress is hitting us all.

Maybe a mental health counselor can help? Well, they’re all full. I’ve had 19 requests this week for new clients.

No problem—my first opening is in January 2022.

The last year and a half has been the busiest of my 25-year career in the mental health field as a clinical psychologist.

I have never seen this level of stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma in our community. COVID-19 was the final straw, but my clients began the pandemic already battered by the weakened economy, discrimination, and torn community ties due to years of divisive

politics, misinformation, and distrust.

Not surprisingly, your therapist is tired.

We’re a small group of therapists in this county, but it’s a nationwide problem.

There just aren’t enough counselors to help you. And we have lives too—kids struggling with going back to school, ill family members, spouses who lose their jobs. Some therapists have shortened their hours so they can tend to their families during this unprecedented time. Other therapists have closed their practices.

Along with the teachers, first responders, health care providers, and essential workers, we have made the

pandemic more bearable—more livable— for you. Some have lost their lives doing it. Hospitals around the country are overflowing—again. Several teachers have told me they will quit if we go back to distance learning. Another shutdown will bankrupt local businesses. Our systems will fail if you do not step up.

The science is clear that the best likely way out of this pandemic is vaccination. Masks reduce transmission and do not harm our mental health.

Death, illness, school shutdown, and economic uncertainty from COVID-19 is the problem, not masks. Please get your facts from recognized experts—the CDC, the county Department of Public Health, trusted organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization, and your physician. Not social media or infotainment TV “news.” Misinformation can cost you your life, or your child’s.

You have the power to change the course of this pandemic and get our society back on track to compassion, economic stability, and community cohesion. As the Delta variant surges across the nation, think about your job, your neighbor’s immune compromised child, or your elderly parent’s six-hour wait in an ER packed with COVID-19 patients. Find your “reason why” and do your part. Get vaccinated if you are able to do so, to protect those who can’t. Wear a mask.

Nothing would make me happier than to have my phone stop ringing off the hook with desperate callers asking for counseling appointments that I don’t have.

Be safe; be smart COVID-19, long COVID-19, Delta, and the variants yet to evolve

A

dear friend lost his father to COVID prior to the vaccine becoming available. His dad was old and his health was compromised, but he was loved and is missed by his family. My friend’s young daughter, who is an anti-vaxxer, recently contracted the disease and has been in and out of the hospital since. She is currently suffering long-term residual neurological and psychological effects. My friend and his wife put their lives on hold to go back to Texas to help care for her. I dropped him a line to check on how things are going and this is what he wrote back: “My daughter is recovering slowly but surely. She still has a bad case of the socalled brain fog, but we pray that it will improve over time. My younger brother was not so fortunate. He contracted COVID about a week ago and died of COVID pneumonia this past week. He was fully vaccinated so it is a cautionary tale about the seriousness of this disease.”

I shared his story with a good friend who is a critical care physician, and this is what she reported from the front lines: “Please share your friend’s story with everyone you know ... especially the unvaccinated. I have admitted so many younger COVID patients in the past month in San Joaquin County where vaccination rates are low due largely to political reasons. It is now way beyond depressing.

“You can die from COVID after vaccination but [it is] very rare and there are usually other health risk factors that the patient did not disclose. People can get mild COVID and still end up with long COVID like [your friend’s daughter] is experiencing. No one knows yet if they will ultimately recover or not. There is not

yet enough data. Unfortunately, the story you share is typical.

“No one should trust that the person they’re standing next to is vaccinated.

Also, vaccinated people can still transmit the virus. Unfortunately, many health care providers and first responders are amongst the unvaccinated, still!

“The CDC, with good reason [political], will hesitate to mandate mask wearing, so people need to be smart. I see people all over the place walking around indoors mask-less and totally oblivious. Some of us ‘trust no one’ and have never stopped masking. We can’t afford to totally shut down, but neither can we afford to not mask.

“All those people that survive intubation in the ICU are almost guaranteed to have PTSD to some degree for the rest of their lives. [When patients require intubation] we must medically paralyze them in order to save their lungs and their lives.”

When I stopped to think about what my physician friend was telling me from the patient’s perspective, I can only imagine how terrifying it must be to be conscious, aware you are on death’s bed, with tubes down your throat and other places, needles in your veins, machines beeping around you, all while completely paralyzed. What would be going through your head? To help ease the patient’s mental and physical pain doctors must sedate them. This is a fine line, and it seems that it is more experience than science to maintain the “sweet spot.” Not enough and they are in painful agony. Too much and they’re dead.

“How deeply we can sedate them depends solely on how good the nurses are at picking up on the fact that the sedation is wearing off and the motionless, paralyzed patient is now awake, aware, and terrified

H

ave you ever noticed that conservatives tend to be much more reserved and guarded in sharing their political views than liberals?

I have observed that, with the obvious exception of moi and a few others, trying to get a conservative to discuss politics is like pulling teeth. Typically, a conservative’s opinions are likely to be relatively neutral and carefully worded, if they are willing to offer an opinion at all. But a liberal will usually just chatter on at length in a free-associational rant about Trump, the religious, cops, corporations, red state people, the rich, Republicans, and any other group which has incurred their displeasure. You can count on hearing the talking points from the Sunday news shows, Rachel Maddow, and Trevor Noah cited as indisputable “truths.”

Pollsters report that conservatives are reluctant to answer their questions or to even talk to them, and that conservative opinions tend to be undercounted.

The conservative reticence is especially pronounced in cops and in academia. On campus, woe to the person who admits to even centrist views. I imagine that Cuesta College Trustee Pete Sysak regretted expressing his moderately conservative views on Facebook after mobs of the pathologically woke demanded his head. The personal Facebook accounts of cops are constantly screened by the ever-vigilant Leftist Thought Police for anything critical of BLM, a group that routinely attacks all cops as murderous racists.

I first noticed this phenomena few years ago while on an exercycle watching the evening news on the gym television.

Raising her voice above my tortured wheezing, a woman on the bike next to me began commenting on some political news piece, angrily assailing the Republicans. By her tone, it was obvious that she assumed that I must have been in complete agreement with her. This sort of encounter, with both strangers and casual acquaintances alike, has occurred a number of times. Yet I can’t recall a single instance of a stranger with conservative views ever initiating a political discussion or assuming that I was a like-minded believer, despite the fact that conservatives make up roughly the same proportion of the population as liberals. Why is this?

Predictably, you liberals will reply that we conservatives are just properly ashamed of our views and too embarrassed to admit them. But the reality requires that you to look into yourselves and your “cancel culture.”

The liberal worldview is an angry, starkly contrasted place divided into polarized sides or tribes, of “them” and “us,” and every position in the political spectrum viewed according to whether “my tribe” supports or opposes it. You dare not go against the liberal herd. On matters of race, any position is either “woke” or “racist,” and no middle ground or nuance is accepted, nor contradictions recognized. Defunding the police is woke, while opposing it is racist. For

some liberals, the primary objective is to purge their sense of white guilt, rather than benefit the Black community going forward. How else can you explain neurotic white liberals actually paying to attend trainings in which they will be harangued over their privilege and inherent racism?

In a sense, I suppose it is flattering to have them assume I am another liberal.

The good-hearted, oblivious liberal just assumes the best about everyone they meet, and since no decent, moral person could possibly see things differently than they do, those who they meet must also be liberal. Strangers are presumptive members of the liberal tribe, at least if they don’t have a MAGA hat or a NRA pin.

It is easy to understand how a liberal might get this perspective. If you get your world view from the sleek, hip, charismatic folks in entertainment, athletics, and the media establishment, you assume that all the “cool kids” buy into this sort of thinking. Of course, to conservatives, this sounds like bragging that you sit at the “cool” table in the mental hospital.

Conversely, we conservatives are long accustomed to being ideological lepers exiled into the wilderness of unpopular thought. We’ve been outliers since the 1960s and frequently pressed into service as targets for the mirth and mocking of the fashionably hip cognoscenti and their worshipful acolytes.

Sometimes, we conservatives find ourselves viewed as some sort of incomprehensible exotic by our liberal friends, much like a pal who is a headhunter, or an uncle who just won’t stop talking about his alien abductions and probes. You might hear yourself explained away as, “Well, he is a nice guy but … .”

Many of you liberals have unsuspected closeted conservative friends who you just assume are apolitical or disinterested in the issues of the day. We’re not. It is just that the professional and social penalties for forbidden thoughts are so onerous that many of us just prefer to keep our heads down and stay quiet. But, as you discovered in 2016, we vote. ∆ John Donegan is a retired attorney in Pismo Beach who, because he is retired, can rant with impunity and just won’t shut up.

The Shredder

Dumb and dumber?

F

ive more SLO County residents have died of COVID-19, bringing the total to 279, and 55 more are currently hospitalized, including 16 in the ICU. The county added 460 new confirmed cases since Aug. 20. Thanks to the Delta variant, local cases are surging again. Man, this sucks.

Are you part of the 60 percent of fully vaccinated local residents? If you are, you’re an important part of the solution and haven’t fallen for the conspiracy theories and paranoia that seems to have infected a sizable portion of the population. If you’re not, you’re putting yourself and those around you at greater risk. Why? I mean, seriously! Why? You can no longer argue, “I don’t want to be a guinea pig.”

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now fully approved the Pfizer vaccine. According to acting FDA commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock, “While this and other vaccines have met the FDA’s rigorous, scientific standards for emergency use authorization, as the first FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine, the public can be very confident that this vaccine meets the high standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality the FDA requires of an approved product.”

See that? All the vaccines approved for emergency use “met the FDA’s rigorous, scientific standards,” but now you have one that is fully approved. No more excuses, right?

“If the vaccines work so well, why are cases surging?” you ask.

Good question, Einstein. The first reason is because too many dolts have refused vaccination, preventing the population from achieving herd immunity and actually squashing the disease. The second is too many dolts have refused vaccination, allowing the disease to evolve into the more contagious Delta variant. You think it’s bad? Let’s not wait for the Epsilon variant to develop, eh?

“Yeah, well, what about vaccine injury?

I’ll take my chances with the disease.”

OK, but according to all the available evidence, that proves you’re a total moron.

While sore arms and mild fever and body aches are common after vaccination, it sure beats having a tube shoved down your throat with the hope that it might save your life. Sure, most don’t get that sick, but will you? Don’t be a dumbass.

The bottom line is unless you’re medically unfit to risk vaccination, you should be vaccinated! You know who’s sick of your bullshit? Medical and mental health personnel, who are bearing the brunt of the pandemic.

Go back and read psychologist Laurie Ferguson’s letter to the editor (“You have the power,” page 14): “Pandemic stress is hitting us all. Maybe a mental health counselor can help? Well, they’re all full. I’ve had 19 requests this week for new clients. No problem—my first opening is in January 2022.”

But by all means, freedom-loving patriots Ferguson noted that feel free to refuse vaccination, bitch about the last year and a half mask mandates, and argue that COVID-19 has been “the busiest is some sort of government conspiracy. It’s of my 25-year career. your right! It’s also everyone else’s right I have never seen this to think you are literally so susceptible level of stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma to misinformation that you’re a walking example of the Dunning-Kruger effect, the in our community.”

Go back and read “Reliving the cognitive bias in which incompetent people trauma” (page 8) about the stress and believe they’re smart. in some cases PTSD nurses and doctors Because the Delta variant is as are feeling as they see cases once again transmissible as chickenpox, 6-foot social surging and local hospitals filling up. distancing is insufficient. Try 20 feet! And Dr. Alicia Gonzalez, medical director we should all be wearing masks inside again, of Marian Regional Medical Center’s though I doubt our political leaders have the Emergency Department, explained: “It fortitude for another mask mandate. was so much more than just seeing sick Most of the current hospitalizations people. It was arguments about masking could have been prevented if people had or vaccination or ‘is this even real?’ And I been vaccinated.

What truly sucks is MUSIC think for our staff, the reality of having to Delta is so contagious that it’s infecting see what we saw at work, and then leave fully vaccinated people. True, more often FLAVOR/EATS the building into communities where than not, they don’t get debilitatingly ill, maybe people questioned that it was real, but they can transfer it to others, who if or if we were telling the truth—that took unvaccinated can become very ill indeed. a way bigger emotional toll on all of us.”

The Better Life live

3 Doors Down revisits their debut album by playing it in its entirety in concert at Vina Robles

E

scatawpa, Mississippi, population (as of the last official census count) 3,722, seems like an unlikely place from which a major rock band might emerge, and yet that’s exactly where 3 Doors Down hails from. Formed in 1996, the post-grunge rock band got their big break with the release of The Better Life (2000), their debut album that featured three charting singles: “Kryptonite,” “Loser,” and “Be Like That.”

3 Doors Down plays Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Sunday, Aug. 29 (7:30 p.m.; all ages; $60 to $97 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com), celebrating the 21st anniversary of their debut album and “Kryptonite,” the song that launched their career.

“Especially after the last year everyone has had, I am really looking forward to rocking out and celebrating with our fans this summer,” frontman Brad Arnold said in press materials. “It’s hard to believe it’s been [more than] 20 years since we released The Better Life. That album drastically changed our lives, and we are incredibly excited to [play] The Better Life front to back this summer. It’s going to be a blast, and we can’t wait to get on the road and see everyone out there!”

Theory of a Deadman will open.

Embrace the weird

This Sunday, Aug. 29, Numbskull and Good Medicine will bring a band so oddly endearing and purposely weird that they’re sort of impossible not to root for. Electric Six plays The Siren (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $22 presale at eventbrite. com or $25 at the door).

If you’re unfamiliar, step one is to go find their video for “Danger! High Voltage” online and soak it in. As their bio explains, “Mixing garage rock, disco, punk, new wave, and metal into cleverly dumb, in-your-face songs celebrating hedonism in multiple forms, Electric Six emerged from the same late-’90s/ early-2000s Detroit garage-punk scene that produced the White Stripes and the Dirtbombs. They found international PHOTO COURTESY OF ELECTRIC SIX

‘DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE’ Electric Six will mix garage rock, disco, punk, new wave, and metal into a mélange so headscratchingly amazing you’ll swoon, on Aug. 29, at The Siren.

success through a relentless touring and recording schedule and an unerring commitment to their over-the-top style, delivering energy and absurdity in equal measure.”

That’s a fine sum-up, and if you liked “Danger! High Voltage,” you should check out “Dance Commander” and “Gay Bar.” This is high camp at its most fantastic!

Me Like Bees opens the show.

Get dirty

Humboldt County septet Diggin’ Dirt plays SLO Brew Rock on Saturday. Aug. 28 (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $10 at ticketweb. com), bringing their fresh and original take on funk and soul, with a thrilling horn section, ripping guitars, and thumping rhythm section.

You’ll hear influences of psychedelic rock, Motown soul, Afrobeat, and reggae, but at its center, this is “down and dirty, greasy and grimy, late-’60s inspired funk music,” according to the band. “You might have flashes of James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone, Otis Redding or Tower of Power, but make no mistake that you are in the presence of spine-tingling originality.”

The Charities will open.

Also this week at SLO Brew Rock, local folk songwriter Chris Beland plays an album release party on Friday, Aug. 27 (7 p.m.; all ages; free) with Ragged Jubilee opening.

Spooner Ranch House hosts new traveling exhibition, We Are Not Strangers Here: African American Histories in Rural California

The Spooner Ranch House in Montaña de Oro State Park is the current home of a new traveling exhibition, We Are Not Strangers Here: African American Histories in Rural California, which will remain on display at the venue through Oct. 10. This exhibit highlights stories of Black farmers, ranchers, and rural residents throughout California’s history; stories that “challenge myths about early California and create new narratives about freedom, self-governance, and civic culture,” as described in press materials.

A special launch event for the exhibit took place on Aug. 21, in which a panel of local community leaders discussed African American history in San Luis Obispo County. The speakers included Cornel Morton, president of the SLO Diversity Coalition; Cheryl Vines, co-founder of the SLO chapter of the NAACP; Dan Krieger, a retired Cal Poly history professor; and Judy Drake, a Cal Poly library staff member for 45 years.

Co-presented by the California Institute for Rural Studies, the California Historical Society, Exhibit Envoy, and other organizations, this collaborative exhibit was made possible with support from California Humanities, a nonprofit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities, as well as the 11th Hour Project at the Schmidt Family Foundation.

For more details on We Are Not Strangers Here: African American Histories in Rural California, call (805) 471-2049 or visit parks. ca.gov. The Spooner Ranch House is located at the Montaña de Oro State Park.

Wildling Museum in Solvang showcases Central Coast artists during its Summer Open House while continuing to offer virtual programming

F

or SLO local Sommer Roman, the decision to join one of the Wildling Museum’s current group shows—Bio/Mass: Contemporary Meditations on Nature—was “a no-brainer.” Following an invitation from the exhibit’s curators, the prolific sculptor and illustrator jumped at the chance to participate.

“I love the Wildling Museum’s mission of using art to foster conservation and awareness of our natural world,” Roman said. “The natural world is a constant inspiration to my practice. My work shares a natural kinship with the mission of the museum, as well as the show’s curatorial intent.”

Roman is one of 11 featured artists (many of whom call San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, or Ventura counties their home) included in the nature-themed exhibit at the Solvang venue.

Over the past few months, some of the show’s participants have been highlighted in the Wildling Museum’s virtual artist talk series.

Joined by fellow Central Coast artist Maria Rendón from Santa Barbara, Roman will take part in the series’ next entry, offered on Wednesday, Sept. 1, from 4 to 5 p.m. via Zoom.

Topics of discussion will include both artists’ backgrounds, studio practices, and artistic processes.

If Roman had to choose one word to describe her own process, it would be intuitive, she explained.

“A lot of it is an intuitive process and a dance between myself and the materials. They lead as much as I do,” said the local artist, who uses a mixture of media to create her unconventional, hybridized sculptures, described as “beings that exist somewhere between real and imaginary.”

So what’s the trick to capturing abstraction and reality simultaneously?

Some of the exhibit’s featured artists will be present to discuss their artworks. This celebratory event is also slated to offer children’s activities for younger attendees to enjoy.

“I’m happy to see how family-friendly they’re making it,” Roman said. “I hope to attend with my husband and our two kiddos in tow, with masks.”

Love and loss

DRIVEN Nicholas Cage stars as Rob, a former top chef who left the scene to live a solitary existence as a truffle hunter.

When his prized foraging pig is stolen, he heads to Portland in search of her, in Pig, screening exclusively at The Palm Theatre of SLO.

R whose beloved foraging When? 2021 pig is kidnapped, forcing Where’s it showing? Palm Theatre of SLO him to return to his past What’s it worth, Anna? Full price in Portland in search for What’s it worth, Glen? Full price her. (92 min.)

Glen I think it’s pretty common when someone experiences a profound sense of loss to reevaluate one’s priorities.

Things you might have thought were important suddenly seem trivial. Pig is an elegiac, multilayered rumination on loss and what it does to people. Rob lives a hermit-like existence. His only connection to the outside world is Amir (Alex Wolff), a young man who supplies some of Portland’s upscale restaurants with truffles—the pungent, hard to find underground fungus, certain varieties of which sell for as much as $1,500 per pound. He arrives every Thursday to Rob’s remote forest cabin to trade him essentials such as batteries, flour, and other cooking supplies. One evening after Amir’s most recent visit, two people— Bree (Julia Brey) and Scratch (Elijah Ungvary)—break into Rob’s cabin, assault him, and steal his pig. What follows is a mystery story as Rob, with Amir’s help, works to find who stole his pig. It brings Rob back into the scene he left, including the dark underbelly of the restaurant world. As the tale unfolds, we discover more about Rob’s past in this foodie world, the loss that drove him out of the scene and into his solitary existence, and most importantly, what kind of a man he is and the lengths to which he’ll go to recover his pig.

Anna What also unfolds is a deeper look into who Rob is and who he was in the Portland food scene. While he may at first be unrecognizable, once people in the business know who they’re dealing with, they’re in awe. One scene that was particularly compelling is when Amir gets them a table at a very pretentious, upscale restaurant. When served two deconstructed scallops under a dome of smoke and over a huckleberry foam, he

asks to speak to the chef (David Knell), who it turns out actually worked for Rob for a very brief period way back when. One thing Rob has in spades is memory—he recalls to the shaken chef his long forgotten dream of owning a real English pub, subtly yet piercingly leading chef Finway to question everything that has led him to where he is now and the food he’s offering. Knell is fantastic in this small but meaty role, and his performance of maddened frenzy is laudable. There are a lot of really great characters and actors who fill their roles well. Brey and Ungvary are wonderful with their brief time on-screen as loser meth-heads looking for a fix, and Adam Arkin as Darius—Amir’s estranged father—turns out a gripping performance as well. Rob seems like the kind of guy who could be a loose cannon and react with violence, but we soon learn that vengeance is not his goal—he just wants his friend back.

Glen That is a standout scene, and by then it’s clear that Rob, though menacing, isn’t a violent person. He uses his emotional intelligence to force those he meets to confront their own choices.

He does it with Amir, chef Finway, and Amir’s father, Darius, another high-end food supplier. The performances are universally excellent, including Cage’s, who—let’s face it—isn’t especially discerning in the roles he chooses. Dangle a paycheck, and he’s there. I mean, consider this: The three years before the pandemic hit, he did six movies a year, most of which were utter trash. Pig, on the other hand, is deeply heartfelt—a small, well-crafted, heartbreaker of a film. It really sneaks up on you. In the beginning, Rob comes off as a dick— his relationship with Amir is wholly

transactional, and he’s uninterested in any real connection. We learn, however, that Rob is in self-preservation mode.

He has no interest in the trivial. Amir thinks of Rob as a homeless loser, but as they enter the Portland scene and Amir witnesses the deferential treatment Rob receives, he realizes he’s underestimated him. By the end of the film, my deep affection and respect for Rob made his loss my loss. This one will stick with me.

Anna Cage really owned this role. His Rob is someone living every day with his past tragedy, and the loss of his companion pig is just another blow to an already broken man. We get a glimpse of his past loss when early on in the film he puts a cassette labeled “For Robin” in his player and we hear a woman’s voice come on, but he switches it off before we get past a few sentences. It’s far from a happy-go-lucky film, and it seems that Rob’s pain may be never-ending, but it’s a compelling story and a perfect Palm Theatre movie—art house-y and quiet, beautiful and nuanced. Our screening was pretty empty, so this one may not be on the radar for many yet, but it’s definitely worth watching in the darkness of a movie theater. Hopefully Cage will get offered more films like this. He did a fantastic job, and this is a really great reminder that despite some questionable choices with the roles he accepts, the man is a wholly talented actor and has more to give after decades in the business.

rian Andrew Mendoza directs this action thriller about Ray Cooper (Jason Momoa), whose wife, Amanda (Adria Arjona), dies from cancer because a lifesaving generic version of an expensive treatment is pulled from the market. In a moment of pique, Ray promises to kill the greedy people responsible, but instead, a hitman tries to kill him and his daughter, Rachel (Isabela Merced).

What follows is a predictable and generic revenge tale with what is undoubtedly one of the dumbest and least effective third-act twists in recent memory. I literally groaned out loud and wondered why there were still 20 minutes left on this clunker.

It’s pretty bad even by straight-to-video standards.

On the positive side, there’re

some good action and fight sequences. Its Pittsburg setting is a love letter to the city.

Momoa is engaging here and definitely proves he can act, and the chemistry between him and Merced as his daughter is believable. Still, this is basically a weak family drama punctuated by fight sequences, leading to the eye-rolling reveal that will have you shaking your head. If I had missed it, I wouldn’t have felt the worse for it. (96 min.) Δ —Glen

Ziggy’s vegan takeout is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. To place an order, visit the eatery at 594 California Blvd. or online at eatziggys.com. Follow the company on Facebook and Instagram @eatziggys.

Ziggy’s suppliers are smitten as well.

“I love their food, especially the avocado rolls and cauliflower bites. I often pick up snacks when I do deliveries,” said frozendessert supplier Uli Billington. “I heard their shakes are the bomb,” she jokingly added—her vegan, nondairy product, Scoop the Magic, happens to be the primary ingredient for Ziggy’s shakes.

Martinez’s association with Billington evolved after he sampled her wares at the Morro Bay farmers’ market.

“I was so excited for the opportunity to work with [Ziggy’s], because they are obviously the hot vegan restaurant in SLO,” Billington said. “I created three flavors for them, as I didn’t have a classic vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry yet.”

Ziggy’s kitchen and ingredients—and the treatment of customers, staff, and suppliers— are a source of great pride for Martinez.

Many hours have been spent by our team conducting Google searches and cross-referencing ingredients since food labeling can often be tricky or even misleading.

“We’ve done the work so you don’t have to.”

An equally important goal of the eatery is to create food that is “fun, exciting, and delicious,” Martinez said. “We are at an intersection in time when many people are wanting to try out a plant-based diet, but the convenient and tasty options just aren’t prevalent. We really aim to make our food friendly for the non-vegans out there.

“One of the most fun and rewarding experiences that we have at Ziggy’s is when non-vegans ask us, ‘Are you sure there’s no meat in this?’ People love to bring their meat-loving friends to Ziggy’s so they can help break the stereotype that FLAVOR continued page 32

The proposed project is within the Commercial Service land use category and is located at the southern terminus of Lindon Lane, approximately 660 feet southwest of the North Frontage Road in the community of Nipomo. The project site is in the South County sub area of the South County Planning Area.

The Environmental Coordinator found that the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration is adequate for the purposes of compliance with CEQA.

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 GreenView, LLC for a Minor Use Permit (DRC2018-00010) for the phased development of up to three acres of outdoor cannabis cultivation canopy within hoop structures, ancillary processing activities, ancillary transport, and other related site improvements. Phase I includes the installation of 129,600 square feet of hoop structures, security fencing and surveillance equipment, a 5,000-gallon galvanized steel water tank, three 2,500-gallon tanks, a 120 square foot pesticide storage shed, and improvements for parking and access roads.

Phase II includes the installation of a 10,000 square foot processing facility. The project would result in approximately 4.02 acres of site disturbance, including 182 cubic yards of cut and 122 cubic yards of fill. A modification from County parking standards is requested to allow a total of seven parking spaces where 10 spaces are required. The project site is in the Agriculture land use category, and located at 8770 Carrisa Highway, in the Carrizo Planning Area, approximately 4 miles northwest of the village of California Valley.

Also to be considered at the hearing will be adoption of the Environmental Document prepared for the item. 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 August 19, 2021, for this project. Mitigation measures are proposed to address biological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, 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.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering 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. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0700115919-1.

LEGAL NOTICES

(March 21-April 19): Aries mythologist Joseph Campbell advised us to love our fate. He said we should tell ourselves, “Whatever my fate is, this is what I need.” Even if an event seems inconvenient or disruptive, we treat it as an opportunity, as an interesting challenge. “If you bring love to that moment, not discouragement,” Campbell said, “you will find the strength.” Campbell concludes that any detour or disarray you can learn from “is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege!” Few signs of the zodiac are inclined to enthusiastically adopt such an approach, but you Aries folks are most likely to do so.

Now is an especially favorable time to use it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The brilliant Taurus dancer and choreographer Martha Graham spoke of “a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action,” adding that “there is only one of you in all time.”

She added, “It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how it compares with other expressions.

It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” But even if you do this very well, Graham said, you will nevertheless always feel “a divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest” that will fuel you. This is the perfect message for you Tauruses to embrace in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There’s growing scientific evidence that we make ourselves stupid by complaining too much—or even by listening to other people complain a lot. Excessive negative thoughts drain energy from our hippocampus, a part of our brain that’s essential to problem-solving. This doesn’t mean, of course, that we should avoid dealing with difficult issues. But it does suggest we should be discerning about how many disturbing and depressing ideas we entertain.

According to my reading of the omens, all this will be especially useful advice for you in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your brain contains 100 billion nerve cells. Each cell has the potential to be linked with tens of thousands of others. And they are always busy. Typically, your grey matter makes a million new connections every second. But I suspect your number of connections will increase even beyond that in the coming weeks. Your most complex organ will be working with greater intensity than usual. Will that be a bad thing or a good thing? It depends on whether you formulate an intention to channel your intelligence into wise analysis about important matters—and not waste it in careless fussing about trivial details.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You should have a sticky soul,” counsels author Elizabeth Berg. “The act of continually taking things in should be as much a part of you as your hair color.” I especially endorse that attitude for you during the next four weeks, Leo. Your task is to make yourself extra magnetic for all the perceptions, experiences, ideas, connections, and resources you need most. By Sept. 23, I suspect you will have gained an infusion of extra ballast and gravitas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I sing like the nightingale whose melody is crowded in the too narrow passage of her throat,” wrote author Virginia Woolf. That was an insulting curse for her to fling at herself. I disapprove of such behavior—especially for you in the coming weeks. If you hope to be in alignment with cosmic rhythms, don’t you dare say nasty things about yourself, even in the privacy of your own thoughts. In fact, please focus on the exact opposite: flinging praise and appreciation and compliments at yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The blogger at www-wlw.tumblr.com says the following are the top tender actions. 1. Fastening clothes or jewelry for your companion. 2. Letting them rest their head on your shoulder. 3. Idly playing with their hands. 4. Brushing

a leaf out of their hair. 5. Locking pinkies. 6. Rubbing their back when you embrace. 7. Both of you wearing an item that belongs to the other. Dear Libra, I hope you will employ these tender actions with greater frequency than usual in the coming weeks, Libra. Why? In my astrological opinion, it’s a ripe time to boost your Affection Quotient with the allies you care for the most.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Naturalist Henry David Thoreau wrote in his journal, “I feel slightly complimented when nature condescends to make use of me without my knowledge—as when I help scatter her seeds in my walk—or carry burs and cockles on my clothes from field to field. I feel as though I had done something for the commonwealth.” I mention this, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to carry out good deeds and helpful transformations in nature’s behalf. Your ability to collaborate benevolently with plants and animals and elemental forces will be at a peak. So will your knack for creating interesting connections between yourself and all wild things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have never heard of Sagittarian artist Baya Mahieddine (1931-1998). At age 16, she experienced a splash of acclaim with a show in Paris.

Famous artists Pablo Picasso, Henry Matisse, and George Braques came. They drew inspiration from Mahieddine’s innovative use of color, elements from her Algerian heritage, and her dream-like images. Picasso even invited her to work with him, exulting in the fresh perspectives she ignited.

But her art never received the full credit it warranted.

In accordance with astrological omens, this horoscope is a small way of providing her with the recognition and appreciation she deserves. It also authorizes you to go out and get the recognition and appreciation you deserve but have not yet fully received.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Who knows what is unfolding on the other side of each hour?” asked Capricorn poet Juan Ramón Jiménez (translated by Capricorn poet Robert Bly). “How many times the sunrise was there, behind a mountain. How many times the brilliant cloud piling up far off was already a golden body full of thunder!” Your assignment, Capricorn, is to imagine what is unfolding just beyond your perception and understanding. But here’s the twist: You must steer your mind away from inclinations to indulge in fear. You must imagine that the events in the works are beautiful, interesting, or redemptive. If you’re not willing to do that, skip the exercise altogether.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup,” wrote author Wendell Berry. I mostly agree with that sentiment, although I will also put in a good word for certain kinds of arguments.

There are moments when it’s crucial for your psychological and spiritual health that you initiate a conversation about delicate issues that might lead to a dispute. However, I don’t think this is one of those times, Aquarius. In my astrological opinion, picking dew-wet red berries is far more sensible than any argument. For further inspiration, read this testimony from actor Natasha Lyonne: “I definitely would rather take a nap than get angry.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For painter Vincent van Gogh, love wasn’t primarily a sentimental feeling. Nor was it an unfocused generalized wish for health and happiness in those he cared for. Rather, he wrote, “You must love with a high, serious, intimate sympathy, with a will, with intelligence.” His love was alert, acute, active, and energized. It was animated with a determination to be resourceful and ingenious in nurturing the beloved. For van Gogh, love was always in action, forever moving toward ever-fresh engagement. In service to intimacy, he said, “you must always seek to know more thoroughly, better, and more.” I hope you’ll make these meditations a top priority during the next seven weeks. ∆
