Mountain biking for beginners

BY PETER JOHNSON

T THE CENTRAL COAST GUIDE TO EVERYTHING OUTSIDE

hinking about finally pulling the trigger on buying your first mountain bike? Wondering what the secret is to conquering the hills of San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, or Orcutt? Christie O’Hara, a longtime local rider and current president of Central Coast Concerned Mountain Bikers, has tips for those who are looking to get turned on to the sport.

Spring 2022

Bikes and gear

Shopping for a mountain bike can be overwhelming, but O’Hara’s advice is to keep it simple. Find a local bike shop to work with. From mom-and-pop shops like Foothill Cyclery in SLO, to chains like REI, “the sales people there are knowledgeable and can give you great advice, beginner tips, do a basic fit on the bike, any adjustments, and run through the bike with you,” O’Hara said. Front-wheel suspension is a must for any mountain bike, but many serious riders want suspension on both wheels: “SLO does have a lot more technical rock than most places, so you’re going to be more comfortable on a full-suspension bike,” O’Hara said. Entry-level bikes cost anywhere from $600

to $1,000-plus. As for accessory gear, you’ll need a quality helmet, gloves, sunglasses, a water bottle or hydration backpack, and repair tools for flat tires. And last but not least, attach a bell for the safety of those you’ll share the trail with.

Where to ride

O’Hara loves to ride at Montaña de Oro State Park south of Los Osos. One reason is the variety of trails and difficulty levels it has to offer— there’s something for everybody. O’Hara recommended the park’s 4.1-mile bluff trail for beginners who’re just getting a feel for their bike. “As they advance, they can go up Oats Peak, or Canyon View Trail, or Islay Creek. And as you get more advanced, there’s Hazard Peak and Barranca East Boundary,” she said. O’Hara also recommended Cerro Cabrillo near Morro Bay, the Pismo Preserve overlooking the Five Cities, Johnson Ranch in SLO, and the Orcutt trails near Santa Maria as safe and fun beginner options. They have gentle inclines, plenty of trail width, more dirt, and less rock.

How to ride

The art of shifting gears is one of the most important skills to learn in mountain biking. “You want to be in a gear that allows you to spin

freely. You don’t want to grind on the gears. You want a pretty high RPM [revolutions per minute],” O’Hara said. “In mountain biking, you’re shifting a lot more because the terrain varies so much as you go up-down, up-down, and over rocks, so gear choice is important and it’s something you just have to play around with and learn.” Another key consideration is where you shift your weight. “When you’re going downhill, get that weight back, feet level, and your butt off the saddle,” O’Hara said. “So when you’re hitting bumps you’re not getting jarred off the saddle.” Keeping your arms and body relaxed with “loose elbows” will generally help absorb the turbulence of riding a trail. As for braking, O’Hara recommends using the rear brake (on your right hand) over the front brake (left hand). The front brake is the “stronger” brake, but grabbing it too hard could send you over your handlebars. And speaking of falling, O’Hara suggested riding with a buddy when possible.

Getting better

The definition of “progress” in mountain biking depends on each rider’s goals and preferences. Is it your dream to bomb down the tallest mountain? Take in the

best views? Get the best workout? O’Hara said you should think these questions through. “If there’s a peak or a top of the mountain you want to get to, set a goal and make small steps on easier trails and eventually make it. With mountain biking, one thing I tell people is if they can’t do a certain section, stop and go back to do it again. Session that part until you can get it,” O’Hara said. “But that’s one thing I like about mountain biking: Sometimes you might not be able to get a certain section, but you can go back and do it again and you have an accomplished goal once you achieve that.”

Take care of your bike

A mountain bike is an investment that requires routine care and maintenance. O’Hara recommends you take your bike into a shop for a tune-up at least once a year, if not more if you’re riding it daily. Check your tire pressure and lube the chain regularly. “You don’t need to lube your chain every ride, but you want to make sure it doesn’t get too dry or squeaks,” O’Hara said. “Anytime you start a ride, you should always check your brakes and spin the wheels to make sure there’s no obstruction.”

Through shaded oak groves and wildflower-dotted grassland, I hike alongside four others who have helped turn this longtime private ranch near the Cuesta Grade into the city of SLO’s newest “greenbelt” property, the Miossi Open Space. “It’s been a soft opening so far,” says city Sustainability and Natural Resources Director Bob Hill, who’s flanked by three park rangers in uniform. “Since we finished the trail and opened the gates, it’s been about a year, I’d say.” SLO purchased these 266 acres in late 2018 from the Miossis—a prominent local ranching family dating back to the early 20th century. This property is just a sliver of their ranch, which stretches westward to Cuesta Canyon Park near city limits. The city is currently working with the

Miossis on a conservation easement for the remainder of the ranch. “I’ve known Gabriel Miossi for I’d say 15 years,” Hill says. “When I came over to the city almost 10 years ago, he sort of walked into City Hall cold. We were originally talking about a conservation easement for the whole ranch. But I could see these trail connection opportunities from Poly Canyon to Old Stagecoach Road, and to West Cuesta Ridge.” It’s those trail connections that have outdoor enthusiasts most excited about the new acquisition. In just a few months, the city will start work on a trail that will link the Miossi Open Space to Poly Canyon—which will unlock miles upon miles of newly connected trails throughout the eastern hills. “In November, we secured a trail agreement with Cal Poly,” Hill explains. “That will dramatically improve the trail circulation network, not only for here but getting up to West Cuesta Ridge, Stenner Springs, and other locations as well.” TRAILS continued page 34

n an early morning in January, crows perched on tree stumps in Laguna Lake Park call to one another above the sprigs of fresh grass brought up by a recent rainstorm. Every few minutes, a clanging sound reverberates through the open space, echoing through the park, almost blending in with the crows’ call and response. SLO local Peter McBride’s getting some early morning disc golf practice in. His grip, stance, and windup change slightly with each stroke, a fluid motion of flying elbows and outreached fingertips that slice the disc through the air. His face hardens as the disc leaves his hand, whirring forward before, clang! The disc tickles the chains and drops into the basket below. McBride often finds himself in the quiet expanse of Laguna Lake Park, practicing the sport he’s played professionally since he was 16. But his love for disc golfing started long before. “In fifth grade P.E. we threw Frisbees at cones and learned what disc golf was,” McBride said in a phone interview. “So I convinced my mom to buy me a couple of discs. I went out with a couple of

At one, he got partnered in doubles with one of the better players and they ended up winning. “I won, like, 40 bucks or something,” McBride said with a laugh. “Of course, my mom paid for the entry fee, but she let me keep the money. I was kind of stoked, like, ‘Wow, I can come out and win a little bit of money, and have fun at the same time.’” Besides a few quirks, like the ability to play doubles, McBride DISC GOLF continued page 40

Oceano puts fire tax back on a primary election ballot

FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

oters from the Oceano Community Services District (OCSD) might experience déjà vu when they scan their primary election ballot this summer. Measure A-22—called Measure A-20 when voters rejected it in 2020—is a special tax on all real property in the OCSD. It would be collected to maintain rapid response times for 911 medical emergency and fire services through the Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA). Property owners would have to pay a flat parcel tax of $180 that would increase by no more than 2 percent every year. But parcel taxes are notoriously hard to pass because they require a two-thirds majority approval. Measure A-20 received 66 percent voter approval in 2020, 11 votes short of a two-thirds majority. “I believe the board felt that it wanted to respect the majority’s wishes and give them an opportunity to pass it again in 2022 with Measure A-22,” said Will Clemens, the OCSD general manager. “I would guess that if a majority of voters had voted against A-20, the board would not have tried again in 2022.” All OCSD board members, except one, favored the tax. At a Jan. 26 board meeting, board member Cynthia Replogle, who’s questioned the fire tax since 2020, tried to put her foot down once more. “My other question is if this measure again fails, how much does it need to fail by for this board to respect the will of the voters?” she asked. Fellow board members Karen White and Linda Austin took offense.

“I have no respect for Director Replogle, and I’m not even going to answer that question,” replied Austin. White partly blamed Replogle for the measure’s failure in 2020. “You’re looking for answers, one of your answers is what didn’t happen last time. You didn’t support Oceano. When 66 percent of the registered voters say yes to something, that’s not a rejection of our plans,” White said. FIRED UP OCSD board members don’t see eye to eye Replogle responded that she would about the fire tax, which would retain Five Cities Fire have voted in favor if the tax was more Authority services, because of its regressive nature. equitable, to which Austin replied that it wouldn’t be “cheaper the other way.” by a flat tax.

SLO County supervisors to abolish inclusionary housing program

they amounted to small contributions to what were multi-million-dollar projects. His conclusion about the program: “I don’t think it’s been a success.” “It’s not making as big of an impact as it should be,” Peschong said. “We wanted to give this a chance. I don’t believe it’s working.” SLO County’s debate over inclusionary housing dates back years. In 2019, amid a stalemate on the policy, the board assembled a coalition of stakeholders to discuss a path forward on affordable housing. The coalition—citing a need for between $2 million and $4 million in annual funding—agreed to support the inclusionary fees for another three years, while the county investigated other funding sources. The pandemic derailed those efforts, according to county officials. But without any plan to replace the revenue generated by inclusionary housing fees, 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson said it would be irresponsible to abolish it. “The repeal of this is going to eviscerate our affordable housing program,” Gibson said. “Exactly a month ago, we allocated $500,000 to three different projects out of the inclusionary housing fee. It doesn’t pay for the entire project, but we know it’s a key component to leverage [outside] money.” Despite voicing similar concerns to Gibson about “not having a path forward,” 3rd District Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg ultimately supported the ordinance repeal. “I think for the housing industry to carry the complete weight of all of this is something that’s

Calling it a “tax” on new market homes and ineffective policy, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors voted on March 15 to repeal its inclusionary housing ordinance— its only source of local revenue to support affordable housing. The 4-1 vote came after supervisors heard an update on the ordinance and after the building industry lobbied against it. Inclusionary housing requires developers, in certain instances, to incorporate a small number of affordable units into their projects or pay in-lieu fees starting at $8 per square foot to support future affordable housing production. Building industry representatives said they were tired of paying the fees while the county dragged its feet on creating its promised “broadbased” funding solutions for low-income housing. “It’s time to share that burden with others. We can no longer bear this societal issue alone,” said Lindy Hatcher, executive director of the Homebuilders’ Association of the Central Coast. “Neither can our homeowners and renters who ultimately pay this fee.” According to the county’s report, inclusionary housing fees have generated as little as $130,961 and as much as $816,235 annually between 2017 and 2021. Those funds contributed to eight new affordable housing projects that totaled 222 units. But the numbers did not impress 1st District Supervisor John Peschong, who argued that

unfair and I can’t support,” Ortiz-Legg said. Fourth District Supervisor Lynn Compton echoed that view and called the fees a tax passed down to homebuyers. “A tax on top of a home does not make it more affordable,” Compton said. But Gibson argued that the ordinance already exempts new homes built at 2,200 square feet or smaller. Any house larger than that is likely unaffordable to most moderate-income residents anyway, he said. “I can’t see any case to be made that the inclusionary housing fee affects the ‘missing middle’ here,” Gibson said. “I can’t see any way we should be repealing this inclusionary housing fee.” The formal repeal of the ordinance will come back at a future board meeting. —Peter Johnson

annual pay increases, the districts’ school boards both voted to approve a $220,085 salary for Smith in January—which came with some pushback from Cayucos parents. A month later, he announced his retirement. “I want to thank the trustees for their recent vote of confidence and pay increase that they have provided for me,” Smith said in a Feb. 4 message shared to ParentSquare. “Despite their best efforts to get me to delay my retirement a little longer, I intend to submit my retirement notice.” Now, Smith’s decided that he’s not quite ready to retire. Coast Unified’s school board offered him a new superintendent position at its March 10 meeting, and he accepted. The two year, standalone contract will go into effect on July 1, 2022, with a base salary of $190,620. Coast Unified’s board passed the agreement unanimously, which means that instead of splitting his time between the two districts, Smith will serve Coast Unified exclusively—which also means the district’s budget will be taking the full brunt of his salary. Before, Coast and Cayucos shared the cost 50-50. School board President Samuel Shalhoub told New Times that Smith’s salary will come out of the general fund, “same as any other employee.” But some community members have concerns about the finances. Coast Unified will have to pay nearly double what it was paying to employ Smith before. “Taking money directly from very needy student programs for those children who[se] pandemic-related academic skills have fallen far, far behind and pay an over-the-top salary to a superintendent, is a disaster for the children and verylow-paid teachers struggling to make ends meet,” Facebook user Brad Bailey commented on Shalhoub’s post. Shalhoub told New Times that he’s looking forward to Smith being able to devote himself to Coast Unified full time. “Scott’s hands-on,” Shalhoub said. “He literally is on the ground on our school sites working alongside his employees, and that is rare. We’ll see more of that because he won’t be split 50-50.” Smith said that he never really saw the split-time arrangement as a permanent solution. “I made sure that I got both districts all the way through COVID, and I stayed with both to get them through,” he told New Times. “Now that that’s changing, it just kind of evolved.” Smith said he’s looking forward to continuing to build out Coast Unified’s career technical education programs. “On a larger scale, I’m looking forward to just continuing to focus on students and student needs, and partnering with the community to do so,” Smith said. —Malea Martin

Grover Beach partners with 5CHC for future shelter

Grover Beach’s winter warming center and proposed Pallet-style homes are about to receive a companion. At least, the land has been earmarked for it. The Grover Beach City Council unanimously approved the purchase of 0.44 acres of unused property at 955 South 4th St. during its March 14 meeting. With the help of 5 Cities

Homeless Coalition (5CHC), the beach city plans to build something that could be the first shelter space in the area operating year-round. “Between the county and 5 Cities Homeless Coalition, it takes a proverbial village to make a proverbial village,” Grover Beach Mayor Jeff Lee said at the meeting. Grover Beach City Manager Matthew Bronson told New Times that based on when the city gets grant funding, the facility could open as early as 2023. In its early planning stages, the project aims to set up a non-congregate space that could serve as bridge housing or even as an emergency shelter. At the March 14 City Council meeting, Bronson said that the proposed structure wouldn’t be a large multi-use building like San Luis Obispo’s 40 Prado building run by Community Action Partnership SLO. Grover Beach’s facility is intended to be between 10,000 and 15,000 square feet, constructed relatively quickly at a lower cost. Using $425,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act, the city plans to acquire the South 4th Street property and enter a 55-year lease agreement wtih 5CHC. But the length of the lease left Councilmember Robert Robert wondering about what would happen once the time was up. “Most of us won’t be here after 55 years, but I think there should still be a plan to know what to do after 55 years for our children and grandchildren,” Robert said at the meeting. Community activists recently criticized the city for its treatment of the homeless. On Feb. 23, the city relocated several homeless people sheltering at Ramona Park to do a deep clean of the area. But the move drew heavy criticism from a group called Santa Barbara-San Luis Obispo (SBSLO) Alliance. “This is infuriating! @ cityofgroverbeachca You better have provided housing to the folxs who called that Ramona Park home,” read a comment left by the group on the city’s Instagram post talking about the cleanup. One of the group’s biggest criticisms of the city is that the area doesn’t have a dedicated homeless shelter, it only has a warming shelter, which operates in the winter on days when the weather is going to be significantly cold or wet. Bronson told New Times that the city asked homeless people to temporarily vacate the space while it carried out the cleaning and maintenance project. “The lack of shelter space in our area means that the city is severely limited in enforcing its camping ordinance in parks and other public spaces and underscores the need for more shelter capacity like what is proposed at this site,” he said. —Bulbul Rajagopal

After several pre-St. Patrick’s Day parties spilled into residential neighborhoods and awoke residents early in the morning on March 12, the San Luis Obispo City Council discussed whether or not stiffer penalties could deter Cal Poly students from partying around the holiday. But, similar to past years, the council ultimately left it alone. “I absolutely do not want this to come back,” Councilmember Carlyn Christianson said at a March 15 City

Council meeting. “We’ve just come out of two years of COVID. We had a few parties that, yes, created noise disturbance that was very disturbing to the residents close by, but weren’t some terrible thing that needs this kind of reaction.” On March 12, police officers responded to multiple parties near Cal Poly’s campus beginning at 4 a.m., which took about an hour “to get under control,” according to SLO Police Chief Rick Scott. In all, officers arrested three people on drunk in public charges and issued 16 citations. “We are happy to report we did not have any injuries, either on our police force or with our public,” Scott said. “We did have a couple that were transported by EMS for alcohol-related activities.” In 2015, a pre-St. Patrick’s Day rooftop party in SLO ended with a roof collapse that sent 10 people to the hospital. Since then, the city has discussed various ideas to discourage unsafe, disruptive partying. At the March 15 meeting, Councilmember Jan Marx floated the idea of extending the time around St. Patrick’s Day when the city enforces a “safety enhancement zone”—where fines for infractions like unruly gatherings or excessive noise are doubled. Currently, a safety enhancement zone is in effect from midnight on March 17 to 7 a.m. on March 18. But Marx wanted to see the zone include the weekend before the holiday. “I know it’s a can of worms, but practically speaking, it [the partying] is not going to continue to migrate earlier and earlier,” Marx said. “They want to do it the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day, because it’s usually the weekend before ‘dead week,’ and then they have finals. Then they leave. “We can’t just say, oh well, young people will be young people and they will always wear green and jump up and down. At some point we have to try to get a grip on it,” she added. While Mayor Erica Stewart said she’d be open to a discussion, she and Christianson noted that students would likely still find ways to plan around it. City Manager Derek Johnson also argued that, in general, the partying around St. Patrick’s Day has mellowed out. —Peter Johnson

To get around this issue, the district received legal advice to design a community pool that would serve the city of Paso Robles and the district’s students. After determining that a 50-meter pool wasn’t large enough to serve all the needs of the community, the district added a second, 25-yard pool to the plan. “There was a timeline of projects to be accomplished,” Bausch said of the measure. “Marie Bauer, Glen Speck, Georgia Brown, lots of other facilities, and then the pool.” But previous Superintendent Chris Williams convinced the district to purchase two pools in 2017—a decision that has weighed on the district since, and was criticized by the SLO County grand jury in its report, “A Cautionary Tale.” “The cost of purchase, installation, and maintenance of those two pools could not be justified given other facilities and general fund needs of the district,” current Superintendent Curt Dubost said in a March 11 newsletter. “Unfortunately, the prior administration had proceeded with the premature purchase of both pools as originally envisioned, and both still today sit in crates at the high school.” But the district is still pool-less, so administrators proposed a new plan at the board’s March 8 meeting: “declare surplus and sell the smaller pool (a potential buyer has been identified), and downsize the 50-meter pool to the basic 38-meter length common for high school dual meets,” Dubost wrote. The Swim Paso Association, an organization devoted to making water safety, sport, and fitness accessible to all, supports this option. “Considering that the aquatics community has needed a regulation, competitive pool for decades, and our swimmers and water polo players are swimming in an old, non-regulation pool, we feel this is the best opportunity to get the children in this community a safe, competitive pool,” association Chair Gwen Severson told New Times. But Trustee Bausch’s question still MUSIC remains: Is it legal under the Measure M bond? “Can we build just one pool at the FLAVOR/EATS high school, or do we need to build two?” Bausch asked in a March 15 interview. “If Legal questions we removeINFO the community aspect, can we remain about Paso even build it at the high school, or does it school pool proposal need to be built at another site?

Water dispute Coastal Commission denies single family home projects in Cambria, citing water issues— now an applicant plans to sue

hen Al Hadian bought two lots on Cambria Pines Road in 2018, he didn’t expect to run into any issues while developing the properties. He went through the San Luis Obispo County Planning Department’s permitting process and was ready to build a home on his property—but then he ran into a roadblock. “It was sent to the Coastal Commission, and all of a sudden two of the commissioners wanted to appeal the project,” Hadian said. This was in 2019, when Hadian applied to develop the first of his two neighboring properties. Commission staff said there wasn’t sufficient water in Cambria to serve new developments like Hadian’s. “I thought that this would be a slam dunk because I have a water meter that is active, I am paying my bills, I’m a premoratorium customer,” Hadian said, but the project was ultimately denied. Now, he’s trying again: He wants to build a single family residence, a detached garage, a gazebo, a greenhouse, a porch, and a couple of decks on his other property. The project was approved by the county last year and even survived a public appeal in September. But once again, the California Coastal Commission staff recommended denial of Hadian’s project at its March 11 meeting. They also recommended denial of a similar project proposed by Ralph Bookout, also on Cambria Pines Road. “Cambria has a longstanding water issue,” Coastal Commission planner Esme Wahl told New Times. “Cambria gets all of its water from San Simeon and Santa Rosa creeks, and current extractions of these creeks are adversely affecting the creeks and their associated riparian habitats.” Wahl said that SLO County’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) requires coastal watershed streams and riparian vegetation to be protected. It also requires an adequate and sustainable water supply to serve development. “We’re not able to make either of those

findings, and as a result, we have to deny this new development in Cambria,” Wahl said. Hadian argues that because his properties have water meters that predate the Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) Water Code Section 350 emergency declaration in November 2001—which created a development moratorium—he is entitled to water service on his property and should be able to develop it. These grandfathered water meters are defined by the CCSD as non-active service commitments that are connected to the district’s water system. “Grandfathers pay minimum bimonthly billing to maintain their status,” the CCSD’s website states. Hadian said the owners of his properties have paid those bills since April 2001, which predates the water emergency declaration by about six months. Hadian’s two properties and Bookout’s property are all listed as existing commitments in a 2021 document posted on the CCSD’s website. When the county Planning Department approved Hadian’s project in 2021, it was appealed by a few members of the public. That appeal was denied by the county Board of Supervisors, and at the time, the board cited Hadian’s grandfathered water meter as a reason for upholding the Planning Department’s approval. “Adequate public service capacities are available to serve the proposed development because the project is using [a] grandfathered meter and was part of the CCSD’s existing commitment list,” the board’s findings state. About the time the moratorium was adopted, the CCSD determined that the water demand for its existing commitments was equivalent to just more than 200 dwelling units. The Coastal Commission recognized these existing commitments as exempt from the moratorium in a 2002 permit granted to Steve and Sue Monaco, according to board findings. “In addition, in 2007, the Coastal Commission approved the North Coast Area Plan, which included [a]

disease.

ith the muted bellow of W “maaahhvelous” on his lips; the libretto of his latest work—an opera—on his desk; and his never-ending search for “self and soul” on his mind, a giant intellectual sequoia was quietly felled at 105 years young on February 22nd in his home in a wooded area near Cal Poly shared with his surviving very English wife, a lifelong yoga teacher and dance therapist, Elisabeth--chocolate coconspirators both. Joseph Isaac Abrahams was a leading psychoanalyst of the criminal mind. Joe was also too gnarly for any diseases, too agile on the dance floor for a slip and fall, too busy to just go quietly to join his beloved mother, Sara. His late-in-life loss of eyesight and reduced hearing frustrated, but did not end, his dictation of ready-to-print text to many faithful Cal Poly students and friends for his last book and others left unfinished at 103 years. Whether listening to someone read the Sunday NY Times, faithfully tuning to Amy Goodman or Rachel Maddow or swimming daily laps into his last decade, Joe was always a participant, never a mere spectator. The spelling of a word in English, the translation of another into Yiddish or German, the pronunciation of a French word, or laying bare the nub of a lengthy discussion, shy he was not. God gave him a howitzer voice and a majestic Mount Rushmore head, and he never stopped using either. Joe’s 105-year ride began in Dallas, Texas, one of four children, and led him toward an enduring love of history and politics, the latter in which he was very active in SLO, but a stronger interest was in the many strands of messianism. Pushing him particularly was an overwhelming concern for leaving the world a better place, or as he put it, “…wanting to understand the alienated individual….”

As an army doctor in WWII, Joe began his life’s work with the lost souls, found in military psych wards, later to culminate in his career as head of psychiatry in the state mental hospital for the criminally insane in Atascadero, from which, after building on his pioneering group therapy work, he retired. After the war, but before his work at ASH, Joe’s life and work was in the San Diego area of La Jolla. There he was blinded by a date with Elisabeth, not Queen, but close. She not so blinded; he was playing the field, she disdained it. Shooting his best game to enhance his arsenal to, as Elisabeth dismisses today, “make himself more competitive in the market,” he took his ego to intensive ballroom dancing lessons. She watched from on and off the sidelines for eleven years, before committing to this hurricane of a man. They married in San Diego. In addition to his wife, Elisabeth, Joe leaves daughter Lisa, grandsons Robert and Eric, Rhoda, his younger sister—95 years old—a niece, Joyce Dara and many friends, whose lives are richer for the company of this man, who, with Elisabeth, could to the very end bust out in a chorus of “I Could Have Danced All Night,” sometimes accompanied during his last hospice phase by friends with a guitar, a harp, bongos, bells, and a gong.

Commentary

BY ERIK GORHAM

Who’s smearing whom? As campaign season kicks off, the Republican Party has a bone to pick with The Tribune

he Tribune accused the San Luis Obispo County GOP of a plan to “smear anyone linked to the late Adam Hill” in an editorial on March 13 (“SLO County GOP’s election strategy: Smear anyone ‘linked’ to the late Adam Hill”). Sorry, the plan is to provide the public the ugly truth about several candidates running for the SLO County Board of Supervisors. This is an example of the pot calling the kettle black. During the last election, The Tribune wanted to know if Republican candidates voted for Trump, before trashing them for being like Trump. Tribune columnist and local political consultant Tom Fulks regularly demeans Republicans on the board based on national figures, but for journalistic integrity, he temporarily steps down shortly before each campaign season starts. The Tribune accuses those who link people who worked hand in glove with Adam Hill—a man who threatened people, harassed critics, and extorted business owners for votes—of character assassination. Less than six months ago, Helios Dayspring admitted to bribing Hill for favorable votes on cannabis issues. During the past two years, the FBI raided the county building, Hill’s home, and Dayspring’s home. In its editorial, The Tribune calls Dayspring’s guilty plea and admission he bribed Hill “an allegation of political corruption.” If bribery and extortion is not

HODIN

political corruption, what is? For years, the Tribune blindly supported Hill, while Dayspring was one of their top advertisers. Dayspring’s business, which he conveniently put in his girlfriend’s name after the FBI raided his home, is still advertising in The Tribune. In a recent email advertisement, The Tribune’s favorite candidate, SLO County 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson, accused his opponents of being MAGA supporters, all without any evidence. Gibson’s advertisement tries to link local GOP candidates to issues involving controversial out-of-state Republicans. Gibson’s advertisement claims his opponents want “to suppress the right to vote, deny women their own health care choices, outlaw use of the word ‘gay’ by educators, and require parents of trans children to be reported as child abusers.” Talk about fabricating smears while failing to discuss local issues. Last week, 2nd District supervisor candidate Bruce Jones sent The Tribune an opinion piece, no mention of his opponents, though he laid out the issues he finds important. The Tribune hasn’t yet published Jones’ opinion. “What I will do in office: Work to clean up the corruption, promote a more efficient and fair permitting process, support parents’ right to make medical decisions for their children, stand by the 80 percent of residents who voted to protect their water rights, support increasing the number of deputies in District 2, and bring honesty and

integrity back to the District 2 supervisor seat,” Jones wrote in his opinion piece. Even so, The Tribune editorial accuses Republicans running for office of failing to discuss the issues. The Tribune goes on to claim the GOP “plans to trash anyone who had even a tenuous connection to Hill.” Unlike The Tribune, the GOP does not think that just voting for or supporting a deeply flawed man, who many thought was a good supervisor, taints anyone. I believe stopping corruption is a key issue in a county that has been under an FBI corruption investigation for years. On the Dave Congalton show, I did say we have to put out the dirt on those tied to corruption. By dirt, I mean the truth no matter how ugly. Gibson, who voted lockstep with Hill for years, berated anyone who accused Hill and others of corruption. Along with Hill, Gibson not only voted in support of Dayspring’s business plans, but trashed others for voicing their concerns. Gibson is currently paying Dayspring’s former right-hand man, Nick Andre, to work for his campaign. During his last run for office, 4th District candidate Jimmy Paulding was regularly flanked by Hill. For his campaign consultant, Paulding chose Andre. Hill appointed current 3rd District Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg to the Planning Commission, where Ortiz-Legg supported Dayspring’s business. During her swearing in as supervisor, Ortiz-Legg said she planned to continue the legacy of Adam Hill. This is what The Tribune refers to as a tenuous connection. Before penning their editorial, Tribune staffers contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office to learn that the corruption investigation into SLO County is ongoing. The editors

then attempted to downplay the future of the criminal probe: “And there could be additional arrests—possibly this year, or next year, or three or four years from now, or never,” the editorial says. “In other words, who knows how long this investigation may drag on, and whether federal officials will even tell us when it’s over.” The job of the media is to hold politicians accountable, not to wave pompoms in the air for a political party. I expect more from The Tribune, because they are the paper of record. While The Tribune focuses their attacks on local Republican candidates based on the presidential candidate they voted for, they want the public to forget about the corruption that has ravaged our county. It’s time to elect residents who put ethics, integrity, and our community first. ∆ Erik Gorham is a member of the Republican Party of SLO County, which endorsed Bruce Jones for 2nd District supervisor.

The Western democracies’ economic sanctions may financially hurt Putin and his wealthy cronies but won’t stop the monster’s war.

Many years ago I attended a SLO County Board of Supervisors’ meeting for the first time. I was moved to comment on a golf course proposed to be built at the foot of Hollister Peak just off Highway 1. Now we have another proposal from another tone-deaf company that apparently can find nowhere else for their industrial project except at the base of one of the most iconic Morros (“Coastal Commission stops drilling off Highway 1,” March 3). The idea behind the massive energy storage plant is fairly new and sounds interesting. But it is not not compatible with the the unique location. State Highway 1 is a national scenic byway and a designated all-American road. The land around Hollister Peak has been in productive agriculture since the 1800s. The peak itself has been protected for years by a local family. The land contains cultural, historic, and scenic resources of importance to locals and tourists alike. The Morros are a unique geological feature special to the residents and visitors in our county, and Hollister Peak is not a place compatible with a huge industrial plant. When considered, all the downsides of this project turn a proposed “green” project brown. Christine Mulholland San Luis Obispo

Sweet relief

ood news, everybody! Our affordable housing crisis is solved! According to the SLO County Board of Supervisors, unincorporated areas of the county no longer need the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO), which required developers to either build affordable housing units as part of their developments or pay county fees that would go to other affordable developments. Clearly that means the problem is fixed, right? I mean, the IHO was the only source of local revenue for affordable housing in the county, so obviously the board wouldn’t vote to discontinue it unless the county now has an ample supply of affordable housing. Right? Right? I take back all the mean things I said about the board’s conservative majority. Under their leadership, they managed to solve this tenacious and vexing housing problem! They’re like geniuses or something! One question, though. Why is it that the last time Markets Insider checked, the publication said it would take 91.4 percent of the average wage to pay down a median-priced home in San Luis Obispo County? Forbes says we’re the sixth least affordable place to live in the U.S. Obviously these misinformed publications didn’t get the memo that our amazing board of supervisors has decided that 8.6 percent of our average $30,500 salary was enough to live on, inflation be damned! That’s $2,623 a year, or a cool $128.58 a month, to feed and clothe

your family, pay all your bills, and … and … Really? You had one tool in your tool chest and you decided to throw it away? You know who really wanted to get rid of the county’s IHO? The Building Industry, surprise, surprise. Yeah, they’d prefer not to have to pay extra fees for other projects or build low-income housing themselves because it’s not as profitable as McMansions. The fee was exempt for houses 2,200 square feet or less, so only larger houses had to pay, but builders can’t make millions on those little hovels! You know who else was against it? Government Affairs Director Mike Brown of the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business, who—let’s face it—couldn’t care less about labor aside from keeping labor costs down. In his organization’s newsletter, he advocated for repeal, arguing that the ordinance didn’t generate much revenue compared to the costs of the projects it helped build. The thing is, nonprofit builders used money from the fund to leverage other outside money such as grants to complete projects. Without the fund, there’s nothing to leverage, and free money for affordable housing will go elsewhere. Of course, that didn’t stop 1st District Supervisor John Peschong from parroting Brown’s talking points. Where

Dan Dow protected Sheriff Ian Parkinson and his deputies rather than doing what was right and calling out this gross negligence. •The Department of Justice then went on to investigate Holland’s death and found numerous other examples of “San Luis Obispo Jail [harming] the people it incarcerates.”

or Wilner Baptiste and Kevin Sylvester, learning to play classical music wasn’t their childhood dream. Baptiste, who plays under the stage name Wil B, wanted to learn the saxophone, but viola was the only instrument. In Sylvester’s (stage name Kev Marcus) case, he got himself in “a little trouble,” and his mom made him go to Saturday morning violin class. Luckily, they both stuck with it under the same music teacher at Fort Lauderdale’s Dillard High School. Wil B earned a full scholarship at Florida State University, and Kev Marcus earned a full scholarship at Florida International University. After graduation, they formed the classical meets hip-hop duo Black

Violin, started taking their music to clubs, and eventually played sold-out shows at the Kennedy Center and the Apollo Theater. They’ve collaborated with Alicia Keys, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, the Wu-Tang Clan, and others. Cal Poly Arts presents Black Violin on Sunday, March 20 (7 p.m.; ages 5 and older; $28 to $65 at pacslo.org), in the Harold J. Miossi Hall of the SLO Performing Arts Center.

Americana singer-songwriter Doc Oliver has a helluva story. He served two tours in Afghanistan as a Marine Corps combat medic, stitching up wounded soldiers and civilians. In 2012, following a “mass casualty incident” that PHOTO COURTESY OF MARK CLENNON occurred when he and other soldiers were ambushed by the Taliban and during which he lost three friends, he was “medically retired and honorably discharged” from the service. Suffering from PTSD, he returned home and, then, his mother was diagnosed with cancer. She died at 57, two days after Oliver’s 30th birthday. Talk about having some life experiences to draw from! His therapy became songwriting.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE CENTRAL COAST MUSIC TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

hen music instructor Louise Frye moved from Southern California to the Central Coast, she quickly found a convenient way to connect with colleagues and potential new students in the area. Today, there’s probably an app for that. But this was 1985. “Being a piano teacher and a previous member of the Music Teachers Association of California, I was anxious to meet other teachers with a similar professional philosophy,” said Frye, who was thrilled to find out the statewide nonprofit had a local chapter near her new home. Frye remembers going to her first meeting hosted by the Central Coast Music Teachers Association, held one evening at a member’s house in San Luis Obispo. “I knew right away that I would join,” said Frye, who felt confident she would “enjoy the comradeship of the other teachers and experience a lot of professional growth,” she added. While its parent organization—the Music Teachers National Association—has been around since the late 1800s, the Central Coast chapter was founded in 1972, making this year its 50th in existence. “Hopefully our chapter will find a way to celebrate our 50th anniversary,” said Frye, who currently serves the association as its secretary. “Perhaps a nice lunch or dinner out when we get closer to summer. The pandemic situation has forced us to mainly meet on Zoom.”

The group is currently able to host some in-person events though, including a recent piano lecture led by Charles Asche, a music professor at UCSB. The free program took place at the Santa Maria Public Library in Shepard Hall on March 5. “His lecture [focused] on the fundamentals of developing an effortless sound and technique,” said Frye, who first met Asche through the association MUSIC and has known him since the 1990s.

Through flashbacks, with Jessie Buckley as a blows me away as an actress and delivers, young Leda, we begin to learn of Leda’s once again, a stunning performance. long repressed parental guilt.

as the boisterous family matriarch. The men in the story are secondary, but with Ed Harris and Peter Sarsgaard, there’s plenty of talent in the mix. It’s a strange story that ends in a very unexpected way, but if you’re tired of superhero movies, it’s a breath of fresh air. Anna I’m a big fan of Buckley as well, and she brings a wonderful dynamic to Leda’s character. This is one of those films that seems to want to make its audience just a little bit uncomfortable, and it does that. There is just something so unexplainable about Leda and her actions, also the fact that she is unapologetically rather odd. She doesn’t seem to be someone who wants more human connection, yet we see in some ways how she is so desperate for it. I don’t know that I could say you are going to have a ton of fun watching this film—it is emotional and sometimes frustrating, but Buckley and Coleman and the cast around them really are impressive. This film is about choice and consequence, for good or bad, and how that shapes our lives and our future selves. Watch this one when you have time to pay attention; the magic is in some very subtle moments with these actors. Δ Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and freelancer Anna Starkey write Split Screen.

Gary (Gad) is a single father to the adorable 11-year-old Emma (Ariel Donoghue), but the two are struggling to find their groove in life together after Gary’s wife dies. He’s broken, feeling inadequate, and always just around the corner from a complete mental breakdown. They meet Mary (Fisher), a beautiful and funny advice columnist who is desperate for human interaction, but for some mysterious reason she insists they need to stay away from her. No matter how they try, they can’t seem to stop running into each other, and a special connection between Mary and Emma becomes evident.

Come hell or Highwater New SLO restaurant delivers liquid and culinary creations inspired by rock legends

“

rafting a cocktail menu is like creating the ideal playlist,” according to Robin Wolf, a master mixologist, Cicerone-certified beer server, and level-two Court of Masters sommelier. The menu needs to create “a perfect blend of moods and moments—both adventurous and familiar—that will keep

your guests guessing and coming back for more,” she said. Wolf and her husband, Matthew Hanson, are the co-founders and creative force behind Highwater, which recently opened in Sidecar’s former location at 1127 Broad St. in downtown San Luis Obispo. The couple, who currently reside in the “SoHi district” of SLO (South PHOTOS BY CHERISH WHYTE Higuera at High Street), according to Wolf, are familiar faces on the Central Coast. Their recent stints at Paso Robles establishments Hatch Rotisserie and Fish Gaucho, respectively, cemented their status as local cocktail czars. In fact, that was exactly Wolf’s title at Hatch, where she managed the bar, racked up prestigious mixology awards, and even ran her own consulting and bitters-production company. Her SLO Bitter Co. flavors, which she calls “the spice rack of mixology,” are used in bars from the West Coast to New York. Her new role as restaurant proprietor means her licensing for SLO Bitter Co. is up for grabs while she devotes all her artistic energy to her new establishment, which celebrated its grand opening in February. Wolf deftly oversees the front of the house as bar and culture director, while Hanson serves as operations and general manager, and music mogul— cranking out well-known tunes, with live performances in the works. Walking through the front doors of Highwater is a blast through rock’s past, ‘HOT TRAMP, I LOVE YOU SO’ The with portraits of legends adorning the walls. David Bowie-inspired Rebel Rebel cocktail “We love [the murals],” Wolf said. “And at Highwater features habanero tequila, we love the conversation they create among agave, hot pickled pineapple, and black guests.

Local artist Ian Myers did the three largest murals … but the ones in the dining room are all me. “The record-sleeve menus and the vintage glassware and punch bowls are a nod to the belief Matt and I have in repurposing items that still have so much magic in them.

force behind Highwater, as well as the enduring spark between Wolf and Hansen. The duo have a long dramatic history, literally, having met at Arroyo Grande High School where Hanson played the lead role in a play. Wolf, a Central Coast native, and Hanson, a transplant from Chicago, worked their way up through the local culinary scene at numerous establishments while also earning arts degrees. Wolf attended Pacific Conservatory Theatre (PCPA) in Santa Maria, and Hanson studied music at Cal Poly. In 2003, the couple relocated to New York City to pursue acting careers, Wolf at The Public Theater, and Hanson at Atlantic Theater Company. They also simultaneously fine-tuned their culinary skills and began reevaluating their longterm goals. “Our time in NYC—roughly a decade— was spent working everywhere from the diviest of dive bars, to James Beard restaurants,” Wolf said. Hanson was the opening manager at renowned chef Seamus Mullen’s Tertulia, a James Beard Foundation Award finalist for best new restaurant of 2011. Wolf worked as press director for the Tribeca Film Festival and logistics organizer for The Public Theater’s international festival, and also designed cocktails for New York Fashion Week. The couple returned to SLO in 2011 and continued to rack up culinary accolades. Wolf holds multiple national and international titles in competitive mixology, “the highlight being winning the Tales of the Cocktail 2019 Official International Cocktail Competition,” Wolf said.

SYMPHONY OF FLAVORS Clockwise from top left, shareable plates at Highwater include duck confit lasagna; assorted radishes jazzed up with butter, curry, banyuls, and sorrel; and classic fondue, accompanied by grilled vegetables, pretzel bites, sourdough bread, and linguiça.

Tales of the Cocktail is the world’s largest drinks convention held annually in New Orleans. During Hanson’s tenure as general manager and bar director at Fish Gaucho, the restaurant garnered numerous awards for its cocktail menu, several of which contain SLO Bitter Co. flavors. While Wolf says Highwater’s rotating cocktail menu is meticulously crafted “utilizing seasonal regional produce and infusions,” it is first and foremost a dining establishment.

The ground for the recall are as follows: After continued failure to the students, teachers, administration, community, and lack of moral courage, we have lost all confidence in you and intend to recall. The decisions regarding the health and safety of all students have exposed the district to considerable litigation and financial liabilities. You failed students with special needs and made it more difficult for students form under-privileged backgrounds to obtain a good education, further widening the inequality which exists in our society. You failed at supporting staff and sustaining a strong education focused district. The impending pressures of controversial laws and regulations which directly affect the district, requires a board willing to listen to parents, students, and teachers on the effects it will have on them and their families. You failed in this matter. During the recent COVID 19 pandemic, you failed to make decisions until there was another person or district to “follow”. Regardless of community input, you failed to differentiate our small district from large districts. Your complacency and dismissiveness regarding masks for our students, even admitting the board could find science in both directions, was evident with your unwillingness to take action for the students. We need solutions not a complacent fearful board. The printed names, signatures, and resident addresses of the proponents are as follows: (The least possible number of proponents is 10, however more than 10 may be required by law.)

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 092938-CA. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 092938-CA 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. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Singer, dancer, and comedian Sammy Davis Jr. disliked the song “The Candy Man,” but he recorded it anyway, heeding his advisors. He spent just a brief time in the studio, finishing his vocals in two takes. “The song is going straight to the toilet,” he complained, “pulling my career down with it.” Surprise! It became the best-selling tune of his career, topping the Billboard charts for three weeks. I suspect there could be a similar phenomenon (or two!) in your life during the coming months, Aries. Don’t be too sure you know how or where your interesting accomplishments will arise.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1634, English poet John Milton coined the phrase “silver lining.” It has become an idiom referring to a redemptive aspect of an experience that falls short of expectations. Over 350 years later, American author Arthur Yorinks wrote, “Too many people miss the silver lining because they’re expecting gold.” Now I’m relaying his message to you. Hopefully, my heads-up will ensure that you won’t miss the silver lining for any reason, including the possibility that you’re fixated on gold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I love author Maya Angelou’s definition of high accomplishment, and I recommend you take steps to make it your own in the coming weeks. She wrote, “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” Please note that in her view, success is not primarily about being popular, prestigious, powerful, or prosperous. I’m sure she wouldn’t exclude those qualities from her formula, but the key point is that they are all less crucial than selflove. Please devote quality time to refining and upgrading this aspect of your drive for success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I’m not fake in any way,” declared Gemini actor Courteney Cox. On the face of it, that’s an amazing statement for a Gemini to make. After all, many in your tribe are masters of disguise and shapeshifting. Cox herself has won accolades for playing a wide variety of characters during her film and TV career, ranging from comedy to drama to horror. But let’s consider the possibility that, yes, you Geminis can be versatile, mutable, and mercurial, yet also authentic and genuine. I think this specialty of yours could and should be extra prominent in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Sometimes I prayed for Baby Jesus to make me good, but Baby Jesus didn’t,” wrote author Barbara Kingsolver about her childhood approach to self-improvement. Just because this method failed to work for her, however, doesn’t mean it won’t work for others. In saying that, I’m not implying you should send out appeals to Baby Jesus. But I suggest you call on your imagination to help you figure out what influences may, in fact, boost your goodness. It’s an excellent time to seek help as you elevate your integrity, expand your compassion, and deepen your commitment to ethical behavior. It’s not that you’re deficient in those departments; just that now is your special time to do what we all need to do periodically: Make sure our actual behavior is in rapt alignment with our high ideals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo classicist and author Edith Hamilton specialized in the history of ancient Greece. The poet Homer was one of the most influential voices of that world. Hamilton wrote, “An ancient writer said of Homer that he touched nothing without somehow honoring and glorifying it.” I love that about his work, and I invite you to match his energy in the coming weeks. I realize that’s a lot to ask. But according to my reading of the astrological omens, you will indeed have a knack for honoring and glorifying all you touch.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Starhawk, one of my favorite witches, reminds us that “sexuality is the expression of the creative life force of the universe. It is not dirty, nor is it merely ‘normal’; it is sacred. And sacred can also be affectionate, joyful, pleasurable, passionate, funny, or purely animal.” I hope you enjoy an abundance of such lushness in the coming weeks, Virgo. It’s a favorable time in your astrological cycle for synergizing eros and spirituality. You have poetic license to express your delight about being alive with imaginative acts of sublime love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “This is the most profound spiritual truth I know,” declares author Anne Lamott. “That even when we’re most sure that love can’t conquer all, it seems to anyway. It goes down into the rat hole with us, in the guise of our friends, and there it swells and comforts. It gives us second winds, third winds, hundredth winds.” Lamott’s thoughts will be your wisdom to live by during the next eight weeks, Scorpio. Even if you think you already know everything there is to know about the powers of love to heal and transform, I urge you to be open to new powers that you have never before seen in action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Witty Sagittarian author Ashleigh Brilliant has created thousands of cheerful yet often sardonic epigrams. In accordance with current astrological omens, I have chosen six that will be useful for you to treat as your own in the coming weeks. 1. “I may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent.” 2. “I have abandoned my search for truth and am now looking for a good fantasy.” 3. “All I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power.” 4. “Do your best to satisfy me—that’s all I ask of everybody.” 5. “I’m just moving clouds today, tomorrow I’ll try mountains.” 6. “A terrible thing has happened. I have lost my will to suffer.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “All experience is an enrichment rather than an impoverishment,” wrote author Eudora Welty. That may seem like a simple and obvious statement, but in my view, it’s profound and revolutionary. Too often, we are inclined to conclude that a relatively unpleasant or inconvenient event has diminished us. And while it may indeed have drained some of our vitality or caused us angst, it has almost certainly taught us a lesson or given us insight that will serve us well in the long run—if only to help us avoid similar downers in the future. According to my analysis of your current astrological omens, these thoughts are of prime importance for you right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Life swarms with innocent monsters,” observed poet Charles Baudelaire. Who are the “innocent monsters”? I’ll suggest a few candidates. Boring people who waste your time but who aren’t inherently evil. Cute advertisements that subtly coax you to want stuff you don’t really need. Social media that seem like amusing diversions except for the fact that they suck your time and drain your energy. That’s the bad news, Aquarius. The good news is that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to eliminate from your life at least some of those innocent monsters. You’re entering a period when you’ll have a strong knack for purging “nice” influences that aren’t really very nice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Never underestimate the wisdom of being easily satisfied,” wrote aphorist Marty Rubin. If you’re open to welcoming such a challenge, Pisces, I propose that you work on being very easily satisfied during the coming weeks. See if you can figure out how to enjoy even the smallest daily events with blissful gratitude. Exult in the details that make your daily rhythm so rich. Use your ingenuity to deepen your capacity for regarding life as an ongoing miracle. If you do this right, there will be no need to pretend you’re having fun. You will vividly enhance your sensitivity to the ordinary glories we all tend to take for granted. ∆
