Editor’s note

an Luis Obispo’s waste management agency is a political hot potato, with conservative supervisors lining up on the side of leaving the organization and starting a new county department. The debate is fierce and emotional, built on years DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS of disagreement between sides As SLO County and lingering doubts about the heads toward waste agency’s ability to stay above a resolution to leave its waste board. This week, I spoke with 4th authority, the District Supervisor Lynn Compton splitting process is unclear. and 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson about the argument [9]. Also this week, Cayucos and Paso Robles school districts pass a symbolic Let Them Breathe resolution for masking [8] ; Vina Robles has concerts for days [22]; hear from a Beatles music expert [24]; and the European flair of Park 1039 [27].

DOJ investigation finds that SLO County Jail violates inmates’ constitutional rights

he U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released the results of a three-year investigation into the San Luis Obispo County Jail on Aug. 31, concluding that the jail violates the constitutional rights of inmates on several fronts, including by failing to provide inmates adequate medical and mental health care and by using excessive force with impunity. Sparked in 2018 by the high-profile inmate death of Andrew Holland, who spent 46 hours strapped to a restraint chair before dying of a pulmonary embolism, the DOJ’s civil rights investigation found specific and systemic violations at the jail—and called on SLO County to cooperate on reforms or face a federal lawsuit. “After a comprehensive investigation, we found that the San Luis Obispo Jail harms the people it incarcerates,” Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, said in a statement. The DOJ investigation detailed dozens of examples of alleged violations at the SLO County Jail between 2016 and 2019, which highlight sweeping failures in the areas of medical care, mental health care, excessive force, prolonged restrictive housing, and compliance with ADA (Americans with Disability Act) laws. A few examples include: • Before jail custody staff strapped Holland to a restraint chair in January 2017, the Sheriff’s Office held the 36-year-old with schizophrenia in isolation for approximately 16 months, and did not deliver him involuntary medication as required by a court. • In April 2017, an inmate with hypertension died of a heart attack after the jail gave him high doses of ibuprofen and ignored his complaints of chest pain and other symptoms. • In September 2018, an inmate committed suicide after a court ordered a mental health evaluation, which never took place. • In December 2018, a deputy grabbed an unresisting inmate from behind and pushed him headfirst into a wall, causing him to bleed, after he’d yelled at the deputy from a “caged area.” The deputy claimed in an incident report that the inmate “fell forward” into the wall. • In January 2019, an inmate diagnosed with hepatitis C was never provided treatment during the 18 months of his remaining sentence. • In April 2019, an inmate who tested positive for HIV did not see a specialist or receive medication for nearly three months. The DOJ’s report, which thanked SLO County for its cooperation in the investigation, added that many of the constitutional violations persisted even after the county invested in jail improvements in 2018 and 2019, which included outsourcing jail health care services to a private firm, Wellpath.

“Although the jail added the chief medical officer position and switched medical providers two years after [Holland’s] death, medical care under Wellpath has not significantly improved,” the investigation stated. Continued problems at the jail include Wellpath frequently dismissing or falling short of addressing inmate medical and mental health concerns; failing to provide adequate medical care for pregnant inmates; refusing to provide treatment for chronic conditions when inmates are scheduled to be released “soon”; staffing shortages; and a lack of oversight of Wellpath’s performance. In a statement issued on Aug. 31 in response to the DOJ’s findings, the SLO County Sheriff’s Office said that it “recognizes the issues and concerns brought forth.” The Sheriff’s Office also defended the jail. It claimed that the DOJ investigation failed to take into account “the many remedial measures undertaken by the Sheriff’s Office since 2018.” Those improvements, according to the Sheriff’s Office, include reducing the number of days that individuals with serious mental illnesses are in county jail and adding facilities and programs designed to serve the medical and mental health needs of inmates.

SLO opioid overdose death rate higher than the state’s in 2020

International Overdose Awareness Day at Mitchell Park on Aug. 31. “I think the increase could be attributed to the collision of fentanyl’s presence in the drug supply rising and the COVID-19 pandemic. Fentanyl was already starting to increase prior to the pandemic, particularly here on the West Coast. Then adding the stressors of the pandemic (financial, social, health, etc.) certainly affected substance use and treatment/ recovery,” said SLO Opioid Safety Coalition

San Luis Obispo County racked up opioid overdose deaths at a rate that’s 55 percent higher than California’s, according to a New Times analysis of California Department of Public Health data. The worrying statistic caused local opioid overdose awareness groups to commemorate

VIOLATIONS A three-year U.S. Department of Justice investigation found that SLO County violates the constitutional rights of inmates in its jail.

“The Sheriff’s Office has worked cooperatively with the DOJ over the past three years to investigate deficiencies and determine appropriate improvements to ensure our jail facility is fully compliant with federal law,” Sheriff Ian Parkinson said in the statement. “We are pleased with our progress so far and will continue to work diligently to provide a safe and secure jail facility.” The Sheriff’s Office statement added that it takes excessive force seriously and investigates all complaints. That assertion clashed with the DOJ investigation, which found that the jail “consistently” failed to adequately investigate use of force incidents, often ignoring or omitting “critical evidence, including video footage.” “In many cases, … clear inconsistencies between narrative accounts and video footage were unaddressed,” the investigation stated. The Andrew Holland Foundation, which formed after the Holland family reached a $5 million settlement with the county over Andrew’s death, said in a statement to New Times that the DOJ’s findings demonstrate the “inhumane patterns and practices continually found” at the jail and underscore the need for better mental health care services and facilities throughout SLO County. “The Justice Department’s exhaustive and comprehensive report found gross negligence toward those with mental illness and special needs for one reason: The jail is the wrong place to house and treat those with mental illness,” read the joint statement by foundation President Sharon Holland, who’s Andrew’s mother, and Executive Director Anna Boyd-Bucy. “We don’t need more money for jail expansion, we need accessible treatment that will house and rehabilitate those with brain disease. When we have a jail trying to perform as a mental hospital, they will fail and the cost is enormous both in dollars and lives.” Holland and Boyd-Bucy added that while Parkinson and the county’s efforts to reform the jail since 2017 have “not gone unnoticed,” the foundation “still receives many calls regarding mistreatment of the mentally ill.” The report “comes as no surprise,” they said. New Times reached out to SLO County’s five supervisors but none commented before press time. Two cited all-morning meetings on Sept. 1. The DOJ investigation concluded with an extensive list of remedial measures for the jail, which it says the county must work to implement to avoid a lawsuit. “We look forward to working cooperatively with the SLO County Jail and its administrators and staff to ensure that these violations are remedied,” the report read. Δ — Peter Johnson Coordinator Jennifer Rhoads. Fentanyl is a cheap and sometimes deadly synthetic opioid that other drugs are often cut with. Rhoads said that opioid overdose deaths rose all over California. But fatal overdoses in SLO County during 2020 almost quadrupled from 2019, according to data from the SLO County Sheriff’s Office.

deadly: It’s mostly used in small quantities, Rhoads said, which is why it’s a financially lucrative option. Fentanyl’s combination with other drugs packs a lethal one-two punch, she said. “It’s very difficult for the FDA to regulate it. But they cannot keep banning all these chemicals because the chemicals inherently aren’t bad. They could be used for wonderful medications that we need,” Rhoads said. Anecdotally, Rhoads and her team believe that prescription drug use went down during the pandemic, meaning that there were fewer instances of new users who could potentially develop opioid dependence. They say that a different kind of climb took place. “Folks who were already using different substances, their use increased,” she said. In general, people use substances as self-medication or as a coping strategy, Rhoads said. “But the pandemic probably included some barriers to treatment, whether it was the fear of going out, not knowing how to access telehealth treatment if that was available to them, transportation to get to in-person appointments,” she said. In addition, the pandemic-induced lockdown likely caused some people who were on the fence about getting treatment to put it off, Rhoads said. The Aug. 31 Mitchell Park gathering aimed to increase awareness about the importance of treatment. SLO Bangers, a community initiative that focuses on harm reduction, gave out free naloxone (Narcan) during the gathering and provided tutorials on how to administer it. Narcan is an opioid antidote that’s taken nasally or intra-muscularly to neutralize the effects of an overdose. “It’s kind of a wonder drug. It’s really important to use and for people to have [stocked up],” said SLO Bangers Narcan trainer and Communicable Disease Investigator Maya Lavorando. Narcan triggers the feelings of withdrawal, which is why Lavorando recommended that people should be supervised for 24 to 90 minutes because the urge to use opioids would kick in during that time. “Learning how Narcan works and having it available at your house helps, because you never know,” said SLO County Overdose Awareness founder Kim Lacey, who lost her son to fatal overdose five years ago. “My son was a guest at somebody else’s home when he overdosed. They weren’t using, and they didn’t know that my son was using. So they certainly

didn’t have naloxone in the house. By the time they called 911, it was too late.” Lacey learned that she wasn’t alone in her grief when she banded together with community members to provide free resources to the public who are going through problems with opioids. “We want to try to meet people where they are. It’s very hard to make people make what you think are good choices. Listening is the greatest gift because sometimes people don’t want you to fix their problems. They just want to be heard,” she said. Her organization also aims to educate people to approach others with opioid dependency without judgment. Rhoads mentioned that they strive to present the problem as a medical condition rather than a moral choice. “Ways that have been helpful for me are to think about people who have diabetes or heart disease. We’re better as a society about not judging people for that. We treat it, and give them another a chance to live and to maybe do better the next day,” Lacey said. —Bulbul Rajagopal

SLO City Council to decide how to fill mayor vacancy

With San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon announcing that she’s stepping down as mayor at the end of September, about year before her term is up, the remaining SLO City Council members now have a decision to make. “We will be presented with a choice,” City Councilmember Andy Pease said, “an appointment or a special election [to fill the vacancy]. In my opinion, a special election doesn’t make a lot of sense.” The SLO City Council is set to discuss that choice at its Sept. 7 meeting. Whichever person is appointed or elected to replace Harmon will serve in that role until SLO voters choose a new mayor in the November 2022 election. Pease said that she believes a special election will be too expensive and timeconsuming and expects that the council will opt for an appointment, which could lead to either a current council member or a community member who applies for the vacancy becoming mayor. “I know I’m interested in that position and exploring the possibilities of what’d that look like,” said Pease, who was reelected to the council for a second fouryear term in 2020. Among the current council members, Pease and Vice Mayor Erica Stewart have expressed

interest in the mayor opening, she said. “What our objective will be is to figure out what will be the best match for the city in this moment. That might be Erica. That might be me. There’ll be an application process. I think anybody can apply,” she said. When the council deliberates on an appointment choice, council members applying for the position will not have to recuse themselves from the dais, Pease said. If the council does appoint a current council member as mayor, then it will have to open another appointment process to fill that vacant council seat. On Aug. 26, Harmon announced that she will depart as mayor on Sept. 26 after taking a public affairs director position at the Romero Institute, a Santa Cruz-based nonprofit, where she’ll advocate for state policies to address climate change. In a press conference on the steps of City Hall, Harmon said the new role will give her a chance to make a bigger impact on her “North Star” issue, the climate crisis, and provide her more financial security. Citing city accomplishments in climate action, bike infrastructure, equity and inclusion, and housing, Harmon said she “did what I came here to do” as mayor. She also didn’t rule out a run for higher office in the future. “I’m in it to win it here,” Harmon said, referring to tackling climate change. “I’m going to do whatever it takes.” —Peter Johnson

contrasting description of the Kansas Avenue site. “The safe parking location on Kansas Avenue is outfitted with portable bathrooms, a hand-washing station, showers with heated water, a covered dining area with picnic tables, and onsite security,” he said in an email to New Times. SLO County 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson and 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton worked with the Sheriff’s Office to get the parking site up and running. “The intent of the project is to provide a safe and stable location while residents access services that will put them on a path to permanent housing,” Gibson said. The county’s new—and only—safe parking site allows the county out of the predicament it was in after Martin v. Boise, when a judge ruled that the Eighth Amendment prohibits cities from criminalizing homelessness by punishing individuals for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go. “Those parking on the street can be required to comply with county ordinances that prohibit camping or longterm parking on the street,” Gibson said. Cipolla said that the Sheriff’s Office is requiring the move for Oceano residents living in vehicles after receiving “community complaints.” Such reports, Hampton said, underscore a persistent attitude that sees homelessnessMUSIC as a hindrance. “They’re all human beings, and not all bad,” Hampton said.

Parents speak out With the school year underway, parents are making their opinions heard about kids wearing masks in the classroom

ith students back on campus full time for the first time in a year and a half, parents across SLO County are speaking out about whether or not they want their kids wearing masks at school. While people on both sides of the argument feel their voices are being silenced and that decision-makers’ actions don’t represent parents’ wishes, ultimately the mask mandate comes from the state, not local school districts. On Aug. 4, the Cayucos Elementary School District Board of Trustees passed a Let Them Breathe resolution, brought to the board by parent Emerald McLeod. In passing it, the board resolved to “advocate in writing to the CDPH [California Department of Public Health] to remove mandatory requirements for preventative measures, such as masks, quarantines, and asymptomatic testing,” and to “allow school districts to consult with city and county health departments to determine the need for safety protocols based on local conditions.” The resolution also promotes parental choice for masking and vaccinations. McLeod, a parent of two children at Cayucos Elementary, brought the issue to the board in an April 26 letter, where she asked the district to consider “a waiver for children to be able to interact with others without masks.” The resolution she later brought to the board passed 3-2 at the Aug. 4 special meeting, with board members Chris Castillo, Steve Geil, and Susan Brownell voting yes, and board members Pete Schuler and Val Wright voting no. A week later, at the board’s Aug. 11 meeting, all of the written correspondence to the board was from parents who oppose the resolution. “Both of my daughters receive a tremendous benefit by being in class with their peers, and in the daily interactions so crucial to their social development,” parent Brendan Fritzsche wrote. “I do not disagree that wearing a face covering may present some detriments to our children’s experience, but I am firmly in the belief that whatever detriments exist are far outweighed by the beneficial aspects of safely continuing inperson education. My children may not enjoy

wearing a mask, but it is hardly a burden that is stunting their development.” Other parents said their kids don’t mind wearing masks, and some expressed concerns about the impacts that defying the state’s K-12 mask mandate would have on the district. “My boys are 100 percent fine with their mask, and actually prefer it,” parent and nurse Jennifer Lloyd wrote. “As a matter of fact, every parent I have spoken to, with the exception of one or two, find the mask to be no problem with their children. … Advocating for breaking the law and going against the CDPH requirements with so many risks at stake is not the example I would like to see at this school.” Board President Castillo told New Times in an email that the board did send the resolution to the state about CDPH’s mask mandate “and received a very good response back from the director of the CDPH.” “He acknowledged our desire to have local county control,” Castillo said. “He also explained his reasoning behind the mask mandate.” Castillo added that the board, despite passing the resolution, unanimously agreed to follow all state and local mandates regarding masking and school safety. “Everyone has been following the guidelines, and we have 100 percent compliance,” he said. Even if the school district had gained local control, they would be following the countywide indoor mask mandate, which SLO County Public Health Officer Penny Borenstein reinstated on Sept. 1. SLO County Superintendent of Schools Jim Brescia told New Times in an email that enforcement of the state’s mandate is the same as any other requirement of schools, and that initial reports from schools since reopening show adherence to masking throughout the county. “School employees are trained to enforce all types of rules and follow the same practices regarding mask enforcement,” Brescia said. “I have observed teachers working with students for understanding, providing mask breaks, moving classes outside, and other creative adjustments to facilitate compliance.

Discourse divorce County Board of Supervisors majority opts for the nuclear option in the battle over waste management

olystyrene has nothing to do with the fight over San Luis Obispo County’s Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA), according to county 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton. “This has been brewing for years,” Compton told New Times. “What’s going on right now is a divorce, and we want a divorce, and they don’t want a divorce from us because we’re holding the stick.” The IWMA’s polystyrene (Styrofoam) ban, which passed in 2019 and was implemented this year, has been a sticking point in 2021—leaving the three conservative supervisors outvoted in their attempt to overturn the ban in March and April. That, 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson said, is the thing that blew up the IWMA. On Aug. 10, Compton, 5th District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, and 1st District Supervisor John Peschong voted for the county to leave the IWMA. That trio will likely vote together, again, to pass a resolution on Sept. 14 making that decision official. “All five of us attended the last board meeting of the IWMA last week,” Peschong said at the supervisors’ Aug. 24 meeting. “A number of the board members there were interested in filing a lawsuit to throw us out of the IWMA, so I think it’s probably time that we move this resolution forward.” County supervisors take up five spots on the IWMA’s 13-member board, with the remainder belonging to a representative from each of the county’s cities and one rep for the community services districts that manage waste. Vote counts often leave the supervisors’ majority—Compton, Peschong, and Arnold—on the losing end, something Compton said contributed to her decision about the IWMA. “Our voices were drowned out by seven incorporated cities,” Compton said during the Aug. 10 board meeting. The vote on polystyrene—and the way that vote was handled—Compton told New Times, is a great example of that. Her vote, which represents one-fifth of the county, counts the same as the representative for Atascadero, a city with 30,000 people in it. “That vote impacted the unincorporated areas. They were actually more powerful than the Board of Supervisors,” Compton said. An analysis presented to the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 10 of what withdrawing from the IWMA would look like showed that county supervisors represent 25 percent of the waste customers in the county. The remaining eight members of the board represent 75 percent of the waste collected. That analysis estimated that taking over the IWMA’s current responsibilities for that quarter of the county would cost $2.1 million. And implementing the upcoming SB 1383—new rules for recycling food and green waste, which go into effect

starting in January 2022—would cost the county an additional $2 million. The analysis found that if the current fees paid by waste customers in the unincorporated areas were redirected to the county, the county would need to generate an additional $1.6 million in funding—a 9.7 percent and 13.3 percent increase for residential and commercial DIVORCING PAINS The San Luis customers, respectively.

Sharing knowledge

edding photographer Kelley Williams may be slammed with covering Central Coast nuptials every weekend until mid-December, but that packed schedule hasn’t stopped her from giving back to the community. “People [photographers] started reaching out to me about questions they had. They wanted to meet with me and have me be a mentor to them,” Williams said. Based in San Luis Obispo County, Williams’ community outreach extends far beyond because she made the most of the unexpected free time that came with COVID-19. When the pandemic forced weddings to come to a screeching halt, Williams’ clients postponed their celebrations repeatedly, which strained her finances. “Many couples are on their third postponement. Not knowing how far back to postpone things was a problem,” Williams said. “I had families saying, ‘At least I’m moving it to next year.’ So I would say, ‘But I have no money for this year!’” she said with a laugh. Williams said that peers always approached her—a mostly selftaught photographer from Baltimore, Maryland—with industry questions. She finally got the time to make an educational program for wedding photography once stay-at-home orders went into place last year: Kelley Williams Education. The online platform of paid courses for wedding photographers

includes material on styling shoots and tips to get on vendor lists. Her main website also contains free resources for workshops and mentoring. Wedding photography runs in Williams’ blood. Her grandfather worked as a wedding photographer in their home city, and he still critiques her work. Though he always inspired her, Williams was in Monterey when she finally made a business out of her passion in 2016 after quitting a corporate job that she hated. Now, the photographer juggles weddings across SLO and Monterey counties along with her mentoring programs. Williams’ Instagram is another free-tips zone. Her weekly IG TV series called Wine Down Wednesday covers industry knowhow on honing the wedding photography craft. The series is currently paused, and she said it will resume in the fall. As a Black wedding photographer working in a predominantly white region, Williams said race often informs her work when it comes to visuals or working with vendors. “When I get to design shoots, I try to select models of color,” she said. Traveling allows her to boost diversity and inclusion in her work. “I was in Hawaii earlier in the year, and I really wanted to work with Hawaiian vendors and models for my shoot. I try to find diversity when I travel. I have come across other Black wedding photographers in SLO County, but there aren’t that many,” she said.

month [pre-COVID] that helped me meet a lot of people,” she said. The wedding moment that makes Williams’ work that much sweeter? Getting a sneak-peek into a couple’s life. She loves capturing their first look—when the bride and groom see each other for the first time. “You get inserted into the really emotional moments of a couple’s life, like the toast, too.MUSIC It’s a weird dynamic where you get behind the veil of people whom you kinda know but not really know,” she said.

BY RICHARD RICH

Playing with water Cambria should declare a Stage 5 drought emergency and restrict water use

ambria is at very real risk of running out of water until the first rain, and yet the Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) counterintuitively seems to have decided to do nothing about the possibility. Instead the CCSD should declare a Stage 5 emergency and configure an accompanying policy to significantly restrict demand for the rest of the year. Unlike other towns in the county, Cambria relies entirely on two streams— Santa Rosa and San Simeon creeks—for its supply of water, and these are getting dangerously low as we move through the summer. The drought has meant that even what rain we did get during the winter was heavily concentrated in one storm, and we have gotten virtually nothing since. As a result, the CCSD declared a Stage 4 water emergency, which nevertheless only gives guidelines for conservation and provides for no real penalties for those who use of a lot of water. And yet, the level of the streams is now such that, were they to be applied as indicated, we should have moved to Stage 5, or even Stage 6, by now, which would imply serious surcharges on the excessive use of water. But the district has declined to do so. In fact, it is now clear that—from communications that are publicly available—management has had no intention of making such a policy recommendation. Any informed citizen

might ask why, given the frightening implications of literally running the town out of water. It might seem comforting that we can always use the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF)—a multimillion-dollar plant whose name changes as often as the tide comes in—which after all was originally designed for just such a case as this. It is sad to say, however, that faith in this fallback is misplaced, since the use of the WRF would require no less than three months, including a minimum of 60 days to allow for the required percolation down San Simeon Creek. That would take us into early December. Given this, an inquiring mind might ask why, given that the situation has been clear for some time, the process of restarting the plant was not implemented months ago. At the very least, it would have been possible to test the plant, which—having been mothballed for years—might not even be functional. One possible answer is economic in nature. Cambria is, after all, a tourist town, and after taking a huge loss of revenue during the COVID-19 crisis, the restaurants, hotels, and shops are just getting back to normal levels of business this summer. As anyone who tries to find a parking place in town on any given weekend knows, people are flocking into town from the Central Valley, not to mention Paso Robles and Atascadero— escaping the heat all the while apparently

Lack of commitment

oing on 18 months after California’s initial statewide stay at home order, SLO County is seeing record numbers once again. As I write, 54 SLO County residents are in the hospital with COVID-19, 18 in the ICU. Across the United States, the daily average for hospitalized COVID-19 patients is now more than 100,000, nearing the same peak of January 2021. But the difference between today and 18 months ago is not just vaccines, it’s also our commitment to one another. I remember the early days of COVID-19, watching closely as our ICU numbers rose day by day. Nationwide, we took action to distance and mask, we learned to homeschool, nurses and doctors carried our communities, businesses scrambled to adapt, and resource agencies dug in to provide desperately needed relief. The first deaths were recorded and we collectively grieved the loss. During those days, even with stay-at-home orders, communities sprung to action to redefine what was possible in building a culture of community care and collaboration for the global good. And tuning in to the needs of our neighbors simultaneously opened a door for deeper understanding of the voices who have long spoken to the racial inequity and economic disparities that have long plagued us. Our differences and inequalities were harder to ignore. And our essential mutual responsibility to the belonging and survival of one another was more evident than before. But 18 months later, we have seen the return to rugged individualism that Americans so love, and a “business as usual” political posturing that has families suffering, hospitals bursting at the seams, and the same classist, racist policies deprioritizing the health and safety of people of color and marginalized groups. As we resume school, teachers are holding it all together, and children too young to be vaccinated carry the risk where our communities have fallen short. While hospitalization and death from COVID-19 are still considered rare among children, children of color who disproportionately suffer from chronic health conditions and lack of access to health care, are being disproportionately sickened with COVID-19, too. As cases climb once again across America, nonwhite children were hospitalized three times more often than white children according to the CDC. In every way possible, people of color are being battered by the racial inequity of COVID-19. Meanwhile, county leaders only went so far as “we strongly recommend” masking indoors (that changed on Sept. 1, after I wrote this), our cities and leading organizations struggle to prioritize actually taking action on equity and inclusion, and a segment of the population took to meetings to demand schools “unmask our children!” The hope we found in one another in the midst of the chaos of 2020 is turning into the apathy of 2021. When the work of bringing our communities together gets messy and uncomfortable, when our obsession with

exceptionalism is threatened, and our systems programmed to covet capitalism begin to suffer, the default has been to return to normal. To a normal where privilege dictates progress and individual gain trumps communal collaboration. A daily life that prioritizes whiteness and that same old comfortable feeling of “normal” that white America is so bound to. That moment in 2020 when community care rose for the sake of the global good was a window into what is possible when we collectively rise for the sake of others. This is not a time to tread lightly, not a time for moderate leadership or placating self-interested decision makers, not a time to walk away from each other. This is a time to rise together. As Roxane Gay says, “Now is not the time for halfmeasures. Now is the time for grand gestures and innovative thinking. Now is the time for remembering the social contract and recommitting to the idea of a unified country where we understand how intimately we are all connected. Now is the time for understanding that empathy is infinite if we allow it to be.” We need political will in every seat of leadership, and active participation from neighborhoods and board rooms and bakeries and book clubs. There are no seats for bystanders now. No time to allow our past to dictate our future. No time to wait for someone else to sway a vote or another neighbor to meet the need. When we are waffling and stuck in inaction, fear about what may be can be paralyzing. Stepping into participation, getting off the sidelines and into the arena is the only way forward. One small step, one small but mighty action at a time. Community care is about bringing all that you have got to the table, heaving it up there in the most imperfect and messy way and staying at the table to give and receive and clean it up and do it again tomorrow, together. If we can’t show up for one another now, in the midst of a raging climate emergency, economic crisis, racial reckoning, and a global pandemic that has taken 4.5 million lives worldwide— what exactly are we waiting for? ∆ Quinn Brady (she/her) is a community advocate, organizer, and mother on the Central Coast.

ince I wrote my last little rant on vaccinations and COVID-19, SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon quit, defense attorneys in the Kristin Smart case subpoenaed a journalist, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released a scathing report detailing constitutional rights abuses at the SLO County Jail, and SLO County Public Health Officer Penny Borenstein finally implemented a mask mandate because duh! Wowee. After a fairly benign news month—aside from that whole cannabis magnate Helios Dayspring/former county supervisor Adam Hill bribery thing (!)—I thought my gears were starting to rust. I don’t even know who to sharpen these teeth on first! We’ll go with the low-hanging flower—Heidi “No Longer the Mayor” Harmon. The timing is suspicious, and Harmon’s been unusually quiet of late, you know since that DOJ announcement about the bribery (that agency loves dropping big news like a casual bomb into New Times’ email inbox) that one could speculate involves her former campaign manager and former Dayspring sidekick Nick Andre. Do we think a text her adult kid sent her in the middle of the night caused her to have a change of heart about her career path? Or was she just sick of the complainers calling into SLO City Council meetings week after week, sick of the haters screaming at her in all caps through her social media accounts and

sometimes on the street? Or was it the lack of money, like she said? I know quite a few people who are living in SLO on the same salary she was making as the mayor: It sucks but they do it. And her fellow City Council members have jobs and do their elected duties—SLO Councilmembers Andy Pease and Erica Stewart both seem to think they could do their jobs and be mayor. But who am I to judge? Meanwhile, I guess SLO County is about to learn just how far First Amendment rights extend when it comes to protecting journalists, thanks to murder defendant Paul Flores’ attorneys, who seem to be throwing everything they can at the wall to get their client off the hook. Your Own Backyard Podcaster Chris Lambert is unfairly in the hot seat over his part in Flores finally getting arrested a quarter century after Smart disappeared. Defense attorneys—father-daughter duo Robert (whose claim to fame is getting Michael Jackson out of a child molestation charge in 2005) and Sarah Sangers—are claiming that Lambert “influenced” potential witnesses, so they want all the names of everyone he spoke to and all his notes on everything to do with his podcast about the Smart case. Sure seems overly broad to me. Shouldn’t those questions be directed at

With five concerts in the next seven days, Vina Robles is a music city

ith COVID-19 caveats in tow, it seems like the music scene on the Central Coast is moving full-steam ahead—the Delta variant be damned! And Vina Robles Amphitheater is coming in hot this week, with shows every night this weekend and on Wednesday and Thursday. Vina implemented a new policy on Sept. 4 requiring all patrons to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test from within 72 hours before entry. Check out vinaroblesamphitheatre.com for more information about the proof that Vina is looking for and the tests it will accept. If you’ve got that going for you and you bring along a mask (SLO County implemented an indoor mask mandate on Sept. 1), you’re in business. Gravelly voiced country-pop entertainer Chase Rice plays Vina on Friday, Sept. 3 (7 p.m.; all ages; $40 to $54.50 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). With more than 2 million albums sold—and songs such as “Lonely If You Are” and his collab with the Florida Georgia Line “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.”—Rice sees his new project, The Album, as the launching pad for music that says what he wants to say exactly how he wants to say it. Press materials say it’s freer, unbeholden, and uninhibited. All I know is he puts on one hell of a show! Seaforth, with songwriters Tom Jordan and Mitch Thompson, open the show. Spreading butter across the country on the Butter Miracle Tour supporting their first album in almost seven years, the Counting Crows make a stop at Vina Robles on Saturday, Sept. 4 (7 p.m.; all ages; $65 to $95 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com), with special guests Matt Sucich and Sean Barna. Released earlier this year, BUTTER MIRACLE, SUITE ONE is a four-track, 19-minute suite. For more than two decades, the Grammy- and Academy Award-nominated rock band has enchanted listeners worldwide with soulful, intricate sounds. The Counting Crows released seven studio albums between 1993 and 2014, starting with August and Everything After, and sold more than 20 million records. Train (a rescheduled show) pulls into the Vina Robles station on Sunday, Sept. 5 (7 p.m.; all ages; $60 to $115 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). Celebrating 20 years since their Grammy Awardwinning chart-topper “Drops of Jupiter” spent 10 months in the top 40, Train has sold more than 10 million albums, won three Grammys, and nabbed two Billboard Music Awards. In 1994, the original five-member band built a hometown following,

which led to their debut album in 1998 featuring “Meet Virginia,” Train’s first radio hit. The band recently released a brand new song, “Mai Tais” with Skylar Grey, which was featured on the CBS series Magnum P.I. Tickets from the originally scheduled show will be honored at this new date, and The Voice’s 2020 finalist, singersongwriter Thunderstorm Artis, will open. Central Coast favorite Jackson Browne hits Vina on Wednesday, Sept. 8 (8 p.m.; all ages; $55 to $95 at vinaroblesamphitheatre.com). On tour supporting his new album, Downhill From Everywhere, Browne recently announced that singer-songwriter Leslie Mendelson will join him on his Evening With tour in September. Downhill From Everywhere includes a duet with Mendelson on the song “A Human Touch.” Album single “My Cleveland Heart” was released earlier this year, and Browne recently played the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Beatles author Mark Brickley will present via Zoom his multimedia presentation The Beatles Road to Stardom: 1956-1964, on Wednesday, Sept. 8, via the SLO County Public Library (6:30 p.m.; free; register at slolibrary.org). The presentation focuses on the band’s early years and their rise as recording artists. Featuring many rare photos and in-concert video clips, the presentation will close with a Q-and-A session.

ans of the Fab Four, take note. You can indulge your Beatles obsession with likeminded Beatlemanics this Wednesday, Sept. 8, when Beatles über-fan, author, and expert Mark Brickley offers The Beatles Road to Stardom: 1956-1964 through the SLO County Library. His multimedia presentation takes a deep dive into the band’s formation, early personnel changes, first recordings, and commercial successes in the UK and the USA. This live virtual event is free and open to the public. You just need to register through the library website, slolibrary.org, and you’ll get a Zoom invite for the 6:30 p.m. presentation, which will be followed by a Q-and-A with Brickley, author of Postcards from Liverpool: Beatles Moments & Memories. Featuring rare photos and in-concert video clips, Brickley’s presentation will highlight the group’s Skiffle beginnings as the The Blackjacks and The Quarrymen, early shows as the Silver Beatles, and their Hamburg, Germany, apprenticeship, right up to the Beatles’ Feb. 9, 1964, debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. How does the presentation differ from Brickley’s book? “The upcoming Zoom presentation looks at the Beatles’ early evolution, but my book traverses their legacy; from the backstory of how they recorded their first single ‘Love Me Do,’ the recording artists that influenced Lennon and McCartney, and impressions of Ravi Shankar and George Harrison in the chapter, ‘The Sitar’s Sound,’” Brickley explained in email and phone interviews. “The book’s interviews include Paul’s son, James McCartney, caught backstage at Santa Barbara’s Soho Club in 2013, and early Apple Records exec Jackie Lomax, who I sat down with in his Ojai bungalow,” Brickley continued. “The ‘Memories’ section includes my 2018 meetup with Pete Best at the San Diego Beatles Fair, a travelogue of Beatles trips to London and Liverpool, insights gleaned from the 2018 White Album International Symposium held at Monmouth University, and finally a primer on how to grade and buy Beatles ’60s-era vinyl records. The majority of the book’s photographs are PAUL Mark Brickley’s my originals.” book and multimedia presentation are filled with Like a lot of his original photographs, Beatles fans, including this one of Paul Brickley’s McCartney speaking at the interest was installation of his star on the driven by one of Hollywood Walk of Fame. the band’s films.

In 2008, individuals from the author’s own smallafter more than a decade of enjoying the knit community in Millis, Massachusetts book’s financial successes (there was (where she and her husband moved to even a Disney movie in the works at one point), Defonseca became scrutinized after from Belgium during the late ’80s), including friends and neighbors, who evidence disproving her tale came to light (including records showing that her family were affected by the scandal in less damaging ways, but hurtful nevertheless. was actually Catholic, not Jewish). As the “Everybody felt betrayed,” says one of documentary shows, tracking down these the author’s next-door neighbors, Pat documents was the result of a team effort Cunningham, who first heard Defonseca’s between several individuals, including Belgian genealogist Evelyne Haendel, who fabricated stories over tea one day, years before the book was written and herself is an actual Holocaust survivor published. Decades later, after hearing (hidden at a young age and adopted into the memoir was revealed to be fraudulent, a new family after her parents were and the author’s after-the-fact defense deported to Auschwitz in 1942).

though, I really wish documentarian Sam Hobkinson was able to get her on board for this film (the author refused to be interviewed, although an actress plays her in dramatizations). I want to hear more of her perspective, no matter how skewed. Téa While Defonseca is the documentary’s clear villain, her publisher, Daniel, does not escape scrutiny for her role in propagating such a bizarre and unbelievable story. Holocaust historian Debórah Dwork reveals that she received a letter and a manuscript of Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years from Daniel in 1996 (one year prior to the memoir’s publication) and after reading, called Daniel and urged her not to go forward with publishing the story; as Dwork put it, “this narrative just did not work.” So why did Daniel decide to publish the memoir? Perhaps the glimmering promise of being picked up by Disney and Oprah Winfrey were just too enticing to resist, particularly for an admittedly small and relatively obscure publishing company such as Daniel’s Mt. Ivy Press. Still, the question remains: How could Daniel reconcile Defonseca’s outlandish claims with an expert’s clear assertion that this story could not possibly be true? Hobkinson subtly ventures to suggest that perhaps Daniel’s blind faith in Defonseca’s wild story was fueled by her hunger for success. Ultimately, Daniel’s willful ignorance would be both her and Defonseca’s downfall—because sometimes, a story is just too good to be true. ∆ Split Screen was written by Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood and freelancer Téa Main this week.

isa Joy (co-creator and executive producer of HBO’s Westworld) helms this sci-fi thriller, which marks the writer-director’s feature film debut. The film takes place in Miami, during a not so far-fetched future where climate change has caused the oceans to rise and flood the city. The imagery is pretty neat, as the tops of Miami’s skyscrapers are still visible over the ocean. It reminded me of the flooded New York scenery in Spielberg’s underrated masterpiece, A.I. Artificial Intelligence (in fact, please go do yourself a favor and watch that instead). This semi-apocalyptic setting is the most interesting aspect of Reminiscence, but the script is unfortunately not on par. The premise is intriguing though: Hugh Jackman plays Nick Bannister, who works for a company that allows customers to relive nostalgic memories from the past, as a way of escaping the dreary present. After the woman he loves, only referred to as Mae

(Rebecca Ferguson, who also worked with Jackman in The Greatest Showman), goes missing, Bannister begins revisiting his own memories over and over in an attempt to find clues and track her current whereabouts. I think I would have enjoyed Reminiscence more if it wasn’t so exposition-heavy, especially within the dialogue and Jackman’s constant narration (which feels unnecessary, and condescending at times). Maybe they’ll release a cut without narration someday, a la the director’s cut of Blade Runner, which removed Harrison Ford’s lambasted voiceovers (by now, many have forgotten the original cut even had narration). While its visuals are certainly memorable, the overall experience of watching Reminiscence is ironically forgettable. (148 min.) —Caleb

lthough its original “premium” release was in May (with an extra $29.99 added to your subscription fee), Cruella finally became free for Disney Plus users to stream starting on Aug. 27. Emma Stone plays the infamous villainess in this devilish origin story, taking place before the events of 101 Dalmatians, in London during the age of ’70s punk rock. Before taking on the alias Cruella de Vil, Estella Miller (Stone) is an aspiring fashion designer and professional thief, working alongside her canonical cohorts Jasper (Joel Fry) and Horace (Paul

Walter Hauser). The film explores Estella’s gradual transformation into Cruella as a rivalry between her and a renowned fashion designer, Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson), escalates with chaotic consequences. I was not expecting to love Cruella, but it truly won me over at nearly every turn. For a movie about an alleged dog-killer, I feel guilty for being comfortable enough to call it my favorite of the Disney live-action spin-offs. It’s a gloriously over the top, family-friendly hodgepodge of films like Joker, Amadeus, Phantom Thread, and The Devil Wears Prada— what’s not to love? (134 min.) ∆ —Caleb

SAY CHEESE Sommelier Jenna Isaacs can help guests assemble luxury gift baskets featuring a cornucopia of house-made, local, and imported items, including dozens of cheeses and more than 2,000 wines from around the world.

European staycation Park 1039 offers an immersive culinary experience marrying Central Coast fare with wines from around the world

as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic dashed your plans for a European vacation? Park 1039 hopes would-be travelers will instead trek to downtown San Luis Obispo for a meal that will temporarily transport them to their dream destination. The establishment, which celebrated its grand opening in March 2021, has been evolving and expanding its staff, menu, and event lineup, and now boasts two chefs from Michelin- and James Beard-rated restaurants, two certified sommeliers, and a wine cellar 2,000 bottles strong representing 26 countries. You might even hear French spoken by Park 1039 employees, several of whom

AFTER AN ITALIAN APERITIF Chef Brendan Collins’ seasonal creations capitalize on local ingredients, such as sea bass with crushed zucchini, roasted summer squash, and blistered cherry tomatoes.

Take a stroll

Park 1039 is open Wednesday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at 1039 Chorro St. For details on wine club membership and upcoming events—including Burgundy at the Park on Sept. 12—visit park1039.com.

have visited and worked in France. Owner Steven Goodale is exceptionally proud of his team, with every member possessing unique talent and expertise, and fully embracing the company’s guiding principles of “kindness, curiosity, passion, and truth,” he said. Chef Brendan Collins and wine director Jenna Isaacs headline the kitchen cast. The career and life partners met at Santa Monica’s landmark restaurant Mélisse. From there they worked at various restaurants in Santa Barbara before moving to San Luis Obispo in 2020 to help launch Park 1039. Isaacs also brings a huge body of wine knowledge to the table. She is a certified sommelier working toward a master sommelier designation, and a certified specialist of wine studying for French wine scholar designation through the Society of Wine Educators. Rounding out the team is a second certified sommelier, Vanessa Igel, also working toward a master sommelier designation, and sous chef Sarah Carlisle, who began her career at award-winning French restaurant Marché in Eugene, Oregon. Goodale himself is no epicurean slouch. The Central Coast native has spent the majority of his life in the food and beverage industry, including a stint as general manager of Custom House and Mr. Rick’s in Avila Beach.

“I’ve worked in many different environments with many different responsibilities,” he said. “This concept is one I always wished to see. I’ve been seeking and celebrating products and experiences like these both while at home or when traveling for many years. I decided to take a chance and see if others might enjoy the finest products from both local and global [producers].” While Isaacs works with importers from around the world—including a significant contingent of Central Coast winemakers—Collins scours local farmers’ markets twice weekly for menu inspiration. “Our philosophy is to start with the best ingredients we can find and to respect those ingredients, Collins said. “If you start with amazing products, you can really start to explore the depth and versatility the ingredient has to offer.” Both Collins and Isaacs approach food and wine from the end product. It’s not about the final creation, they say. It’s about the strength of the ingredients and the palate of the consumer. “I love good service, and I love making sure people have a great time,” Isaacs said. “Being a sommelier is really important to me because of the fact that

you can bring people together and create beautiful memories for anybody as long as you do it right. It’s less about what I know, and more about how to facilitate people getting the best experience for them.” Goodale’s European-meets-CentralCoast concept welcomes guests to an intimate 1,100-square-foot space with limited interior seating—that will soon be expanding with a chef’s counter— combined with a wood-paneled parklet flanked by olive trees and succulents. The immersive ambience extends to a storefront marketplace, with the crown jewel being a cheese case featuring 50 to 100 rotating varieties. Isaacs says current favorites include Italian salva cremasco and French d’affinois brebis—“a melt-inthe-mouth, creamy variety made from sheep’s milk.” “We also love our crazy-delicious selection of imported butters,” she added. Additionally, Park 1039 will soon stock the latest collection of bars and pralines from Paris’ La Maison du Chocolat as well as Italian specialty items such as Gentile’s handmade fusilli lunghi pasta, Sicilian olive oil from Geraci bottled in individually crafted ceramics, and Fabbri wild cherries.

WHEREAS, the City Council now intends to disestablish the old MBTBID; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL THAT: 1.

The recitals set forth herein are true and correct.

The City Council declares its intention to disestablish the old MBTBID (established previously on June 8, 2021) pursuant to the ‘89 Law.

The reason for disestablishment of the old MBTBID is because the old MBTBID is being replaced by a new, similar district formed pursuant to the ‘94 Law.

The time and place for a public hearing on the disestablishment of the old MBTBID is set for 5:30 PM, or as soon thereafter, as the matter may be heard on September 14, 2021, via teleconference pursuant to Executive Order N-08-21, issued by Governor Newsom on June 11, 2021.

The proposal for the disposal of any assets acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the ‘89 Law MBTBID is to transfer them to the ‘94 Law MBTBID, because the ‘94 Law MBTBID will contain the same businesses as the ‘89 Law MBTBID and the assets will be used for marketing and promotions efforts that benefits those businesses who paid the assessment.

The City Clerk is directed to provide notice of the public hearing in accordance with Streets and Highways Code §36523 by: a. Publishing this Resolution of Intention in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Morro Bay once, at least seven (7) days before the hearing; and b.

The proposed project will result in site disturbance of approximately 0.6 acres within a 6.64-acre parcel.

The staff report will be available for review the Wednesday before the scheduled hearing date on the County’s website at http://www.slocounty.ca.gov. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION: The proposed Minor Use Permit / Coastal Development Permit (DRC2019-00214) is designed to be consistent with the previously certified EIR for the Cambria Pines Estates Tract Map 1804 / Development Plan / Coastal Development Permit D910279, and the County has determined the project is within the scope of the previous CEQA analysis, determination, and applicable mitigation requirements made with D910279.

LEGAL NOTICES be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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, CA07001159-19-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07001159-19-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Aries poet Anna Kamienska wrote, “I’ve learned to value failed conversations, missed connections, confusions. What remains is what’s unsaid, what’s underneath. Understanding on another level of being.” In the coming weeks, I suggest you adopt her perspective as you evaluate both past and present experiences. You’re likely to find small treasures in what you’d assumed were wastelands. You may uncover inspiring clues in plot twists that initially frustrated you. Upon further examination, interludes you dismissed as unimportant or uninteresting could reveal valuable wrinkles.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Several states in the U.S. have statutes prohibiting blasphemy. Saying “God damn it” could theoretically get you fined in Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Wyoming. In the coming days, it’s best to proceed carefully in places like those, since you’ve been authorized by cosmic forces to curse more often and more forcefully than usual. Why? Because you need to summon vivid and intense protests in the face of influences that may be inhibiting and infringing on your soul’s style. You have a poetic license to rebel against conventions that oppress you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): After studying your astrological omens, I’ve decided to offer you inspiration from the ancient Roman poet Catullus. I hope the extravagant spirit of his words will free you to be greedy for the delights of love and affection. Catullus wrote, “Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred; then another thousand, then a second hundred; then yet another thousand.” I’ll add the following to Catullus’s appeal: Seek an abundance of endearing words, sweet favors and gifts, caresses and massages, help with your work, and fabulous orgasms. If there’s no one in your life to provide you with such blessings, give them to yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Elif Batuman writes that the Old Uzbek language was rich in expressions about crying. There were “words for wanting to cry and not being able to, for loudly crying like thunder in the clouds, for crying in gasps, for weeping inwardly or secretly, for crying ceaselessly in a high voice, for crying in hiccups, and for crying while uttering the sound ‘hay hay.’” I recommend all of these to you in the coming days, as well as others you might dream up. Why? It’s prime time to seek the invigorating release and renewal that come from shedding tears generated by deep and mysterious feelings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A blogger named MythWoven imagines an “alternate universe where I literally go to school forever (for free) so I can learn about art and literature and history and languages for 100 years. No job skills. No credit requirements. No student loans. Just learning.” I have longings like hers. There’s an eternal student within me that wants to be endlessly surprised with exciting information about interesting subjects. I would love to be continually adding fresh skills and aptitudes to my repertoire. In the coming weeks, I will give free rein to that part of me. I recommend you do the same, my fellow Cancerian.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 2016, the International Garden Photograph of the Year depicted lush lupine flowers in New Zealand. The sea of tall purple, pink, and blue blooms was praised as “an elegant symphony” and “a joy to behold.” What the judges didn’t mention is that lupine is an invasive species in New Zealand. It forces native plant species out of their habitat, which in turn drives away native animal species, including birds like the wrybill, black stilt, and banded dotterel. Is there a metaphorically comparable phenomenon in your life, Leo? Problematic beauty? Some influence that’s both attractive and prickly? A wonderful thing that can also be troublesome? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to try to heal the predicament.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I often wonder who I am and where is my country and where do I belong and why was I ever born at all,” wrote Virgo author Jean Rhys (1890-1979). I don’t think you will be agitated by those questions during the next eight weeks, Virgo. In fact, I suspect you will feel as secure in your identity as you have in a long time. You will enjoy prolonged clarity about your role in the world, the nature of your desires, and how you should plan your life for the next two years. If for some inexplicable reason you’re not already enjoying these developments, stop what you’re doing and meditate on the probability that I am telling you the bold truth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Everyone dreams at least three dreams per night. In a year, your subconscious mind generates over 1,100 dreams. About this remarkable fact, novelist Milan Kundera writes, “Dreaming is not merely an act of coded communication. It is also an aesthetic activity, a game that is a value in itself. To dream about things that have not happened is among humanity’s deepest needs.” I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because September is Honor Your Dreams Month. To celebrate, I suggest the following experiments. 1. Every night before sleep, write down a question you’d like your dreams to respond to. 2. Keep a notebook by your bed and transcribe at least one dream each time you sleep. 3. In the morning, have fun imagining what the previous night’s dreams might be trying to communicate to you. 4. Say prayers of gratitude to your dreams, thanking them for their provocative, entertaining stories.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In her autobiography Changing, Sagittarian actor Liv Ullmann expresses grief about how she and a loved one failed to communicate essential truths to each other. I propose we regard her as your anti-role model for the rest of 2021. Use her error as your inspiration. Make emotionally intelligent efforts to talk about unsaid things that linger like ghostly puzzles between you and those you care about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I could do with a bit more excess,” writes author Joanne Harris. “From now on I’m going to be immoderate—and volatile,” she vows. “I shall enjoy loud music and lurid poetry. I shall be rampant.” Let me be clear, Capricorn: I’m not urging you to be immoderate, volatile, excessive, and rampant every day for the rest of your long life. But I think you will generate health benefits and good fortune if you experiment with that approach in the coming weeks. Can you think of relatively sane, sensible ways to give yourself this salubrious luxury?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While wading through the internet’s wilder terrain, I found a provocative quote alleged to have been uttered by the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. He supposedly said, “My ultimate goal is to look totally hot, but not be unapproachable.” I confess that in the past I have sometimes been fooled by fake quotes, and I suspect this is one. Still, it’s amusing to entertain the possibility that such an august personage as Socrates, a major influencer of Western culture, might say something so cute and colloquial. Even if he didn’t actually say it, I like the idea of blending ancient wisdom with modern insights, seriousness with silliness, thoughtful analysis with good fun. In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend you experiment with comparable hybrids in the coming weeks. (PS: One of your goals should be to look totally hot, but not be unapproachable.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you don’t know what you want,” writes Piscean novelist Chuck Palahniuk, “you end up with a lot you don’t.” Very true! And right now, it’s extra important to keep that in mind. During the coming weeks, you’ll be at the peak of your ability to attract what you want and need. Wouldn’t you prefer to gather influences you really desire— as opposed to those for which you have mild or zero interest? Define your wants and needs very precisely. ∆
