Lawsuit accuses SLO County Child Support Services of workplace discrimination
F
FILE PHOTO
our current or ex-employees of the San Luis Obispo County Department of Child Support Services are accusing the department’s higher-ups of race and age discrimination in a lawsuit recently filed in SLO County Superior Court. The plaintiffs—all women of color over age 40, each with a decade or more of experience in the department, including one high-level supervisor— described the office in the suit as “steeped in hostility, harassment, inequity, and antagonism.” Alleging more than a dozen violations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the workers are seeking damages in a jury trial against the county. “For years, invidious discrimination on the basis of age and race has corrupted the pay, disciplinary matters, work obligations, accommodations, promotions, hiring, firing, and overall professional development of the department’s non-white employees over the age of 40,” the March 7 lawsuit reads. The 53-page civil complaint recounts how the four plaintiffs—Dorea Crowell, Jeanette GriffinGrigsby, Martina Ruiz, and Tomasita Sarabia— were allegedly mistreated and discriminated against by Child Support Services leaders, and how the department showed favoritism toward younger, white employees, across several years. It lists specific instances of alleged racism and ageism, including both verbal comments made by Director Natalie Walker, Assistant Director Christine Malone, and other supervisors, as well as actions that led to either fewer opportunities
for the plaintiffs to advance in the department, or disciplinary, retaliatory actions against them. In one instance highlighted in the suit, a department supervisor allegedly said to Ruiz during the 2016 presidential election race about thenPresident Barack Obama, “Can you believe we have a n---er president?” That same supervisor also allegedly used a shared office printer to print out an article claiming that Obama was an Islamic extremist associated with the Taliban.

Arroyo Grande, SLOCOG apply for grants to fund Brisco interchange project
to figure out a solution. To date, the city has funneled $2.6 million into the project, which was scraped from Transportation Facility funds, Regional State Highway Account (SHA) and local sales tax funds. Now, the project’s estimated cost is $32.1 million. A Brisco-Halcyon Interchange Subcommittee made up of city staff and Councilmembers Jimmy Paulding and Keith Storton, were ready to pull the plug citing “sunk cost fallacy.” But they changed their minds when Hanamaikai gave public comment at the April 26 meeting, and pledged further SLOCOG support. Through the State Transportation Improvement Program, SLOCOG already committed $6.6 million to project construction in 2014. “SLOCOG is prepared to use signature authority to provide $10,000 to $15,000 for consultant support to prepare the grant. We fully acknowledge that very tight timeline needed to get this done,” Hanamaikai said at the meeting. The grants he spoke about are the Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and Highways Projects grants program, and the Rural Surface Transportation Grant program. If approved, Arroyo Grande could receive between $20 million and $25 million. Hanamaikai told New Times that the application deadline is May 23, and they would hear back from the grant committee before the end of the year. Not all councilmembers were ready to give the Brisco project another shot. Mayor Caren Ray Russom was the lone dissenter in the 4-1 vote. “I keep imagining that knight in Monty Python who keeps getting his arms chopped off,” Russom said. “We all know the knight’s gonna die, and I
What do the limbless knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, going to college on a scholarship award, and buying a house with your parents’ help, have in common? They’re all like investing in the long-deliberated Brisco/ Halcyon interchange project, according to some Arroyo Grande City Council members. “Brisco’s just not dead yet, I guess. It rises from the ashes,” Councilmember Kristen Barneich said. “I was prepared to kill the project, but I think it would be silly to not apply for these grants with SLOCOG’s [San Luis Obispo Council of Governments] help.” At its April 26 meeting, the troublesome intersection lived to see another day because the City Council voted to hold off on scrapping its modifications. In fact, Arroyo Grande plans to work with SLOCOG to secure grant funding to alleviate escalating project costs. “This is a 20-year-old project since it was conceived. From the beginning, it was always understood to have regional benefit knowing that a lot of folks from south of AG and the Nipomo Mesa use that interchange daily to take critical trips to school, grocery stores, and other services,” Stephen Hanamaikai, a SLOCOG transportation planner, told New Times. “That was the original intent behind our commitment to improve that regional connection between the local road to the highway.” The on- and off-ramps at Brisco cause traffic congestion, and, since the late 1990s, Arroyo Grande city councils have been struggling

just feel like that’s what the project is. … If we think it’s too expensive, then it’s too expensive.” Russom added that she felt ethically conflicted to go ahead with trying to secure funding from another agency because the city can’t afford to pay for the project without help. Councilmembers Lan George and Storton countered the ethics conundrum with comparisons of their own. “I look at it as a student wanting to go to college, and not being able to afford to go, … but then he’s been offered a scholarship,” she said. Storton highlighted real estate struggles to illuminate his support for working with SLOCOG on the Brisco project. “I feel like this was the first time my wife and I bought our first house. We didn’t have the whole money to buy the house. So, we borrowed money from my dad who had more money than we did,” he said. “I look at this coming from a bigger pot of money … where people that have the power and money greater than us can help us accomplish what we want even though we don’t have the funds to do it ourselves.” —Bulbul Rajagopal
Local nurses say hospital staffing is dangerously insufficient
As pandemic surges have come and gone over the past two years, health care providers have been on the front lines of it all. An already stressful profession became even more taxing, leading some nurses to leave the profession altogether. NEWS continued page 5
News NEWS from page 4
According to the California Nurses Association, Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton lost 40 percent of the nurses that were hired between 2019 and 2021. But Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center RN Amber Wiehl is hesitant to blame retention issues on pandemic burnout: She thinks there are things the hospital system can and should be doing to keep its nurses around. “Long before the current trend of calling it ‘burnout,’ our profession as a whole has been a physically, emotionally, and mentally challenging profession,” Wiehl said. “Then when you add on stressful working conditions, that are not necessary, such as short staffing, workplace violence, lack of respect from administration, that just causes moral distress on the nurses and leads to leaving the workplace or the profession.” Nurses at nine Tenet Health-owned hospitals across the state, including SLO County’s Twin Cities and Sierra Vista hospitals, took up picket signs on April 27 to raise awareness of understaffing and high turnover rates and demand change. Fifteen minutes after the action began, more than 50 nurses and other supporters had assembled on Santa Rosa Street outside Sierra Vista. Passing cars honked in support as the nurses held up signs with messages like “Patients over profits” and “One strong union.” Erika Marcenaro, a Sierra Vista RN, told New Times from the picket line that the hospital frequently exceeds nurse-topatient ratios established by California law. Marcenaro is a float nurse, so she works in
a variety of units within the hospital. “I find it to [happen] at least twice a week on any given unit that I float,” Marcenaro said. When staffing is short, “We cannot go to the bathroom, we cannot have lunches,” she said. Jillian Bonds, a Sierra Vista RN and representative with the California Nurses Association, said there’s been a 50 percent increase in penalty pay—pay for missed breaks—over the last couple years. “Tenet has made $990 million in profit over the pandemic,” Bonds said. “We really want Tenet to put patient care over profits.” RN Wiehl said she’d like to see Tenet Health put more effort into recruitment, but put an even bigger focus on retention. “There will always be an influx and outflux with retirees,” Wiehl said. “But I think that the hospital really needs to focus on retention because once the nurses are there and trained and experienced, losing those nurses is such a bigger kind of hit to the units and the environment that we work in.” In a statement, Tenet Health Central Coast said, “While we value all of our nurses who are represented by the union, we are disappointed that the union is taking this action. We are currently negotiating with the union, bargaining in good faith to reach an agreement. “Like many hospitals across the country, we have been facing staffing challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, and we remain committed to doing everything possible to stay well-staffed,” the statement continued. “To support our
care teams, we have been exercising all options available to us.” —Malea Martin
SLO RTA opens new bus operation and maintenance facility
Buses under the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority (RTA) now have a new home thanks to the agency opening a new bus operation and maintenance facility. “The problem that we had with our previous facility that we leased was it was too small. It was inefficient and not a good design. We needed better facilities to be able to, for example, lift up more than two buses at a time,” said SLO RTA Executive Director Geoff Straw. “We needed a better working environment for the mechanics. We were also landlocked, we had development completely around us, and so it was difficult for us to access the facility. This one’s much closer to the freeway, and more reliable in getting to and from our starting point.” He added that the RTA overspent on the old facility’s lease, and the new location at SLO’s 253 Elks Lane would result in an annual savings of $200,000. The new bus facility totaled $17 million in construction costs, but Straw said the final tally with land acquisition, environmental litigation, and designing came to $26 million. It received funding through a combination of grants and loans like the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, which secured $13 million. SLO RTA’s new facility will also help gradually swap out fuel-powered buses for
zero-emission ones. “Our board meets next Wednesday [San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority board of directors], and I am asking the board to authorize purchase of two battery electric vehicles,” Straw said. “We applied for Federal Transit Administration for FTA Section 5339(b) funds, and we were awarded $8.8 million. We got the biggest one in California, so we can buy 11 battery electric buses, six of them for the city of San Luis Obispo and five of them for the RTA.” The RTA adopted its project master plan with the zero-emission feature just in time for the California Air Resources Board’s 2019 implementation of the Innovative Clean Transit rule. “The first set of [ICT] rules takes place in 2026 where 25 percent of replacement buses must be zero-emission,” Straw said. “Then, by 2029, we cannot buy an internal combustion engine, diesel or gasoline. They have to be zero emission. By 2040, we’re not allowed to operate an internal combustion engine.” Buses aren’t the only items getting a sustainability makeover. Will Todd, the project manager of Stantec, which the RTA contracted to design the facility, told New Times that the building was created to meet the requirements of California’s Green Building Code. “There are not a whole lot of bus facilities in San Luis Obispo, in general. There’s just not that many transit operators in the county. It might be the first of its kind in the sense that it’s all-electric. There’s no natural gas utility, no diesel or unleaded petrol fueling for the vehicles on-site,” he said. NEWS continued page 6

Todd added that the facility was designed to have enough solar panels to offset operational costs like energy and lighting needs. While supply chain issues delayed equipment for electric bus charging stations, the facility expects to receive it by the end of the year. —Bulbul Rajagopal
SLO Mayor Erica Stewart announces election campaign
San Luis Obispo Mayor Erica Stewart is running to keep the office she was appointed to last year—announcing on April 25 her candidacy for mayor in the upcoming November election. A member of the SLO City Council since 2018, Stewart stepped into the mayor’s seat last October following the resignation of then Mayor Heidi Harmon. She received unanimous support from the council for her appointment. In her seven months as mayor, Stewart told New Times that she’s experienced how “I get to be at a few more tables and lead more discussions,” and has embraced that enhanced leadership role. Describing her leadership style as one based on “respectful listening,” Stewart said she wants to continue uniting the city around its big issues, like homelessness; public safety; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and housing. “There’s just so much to do,” Stewart said. “We do not have the homelessness issue completely taken care in any way, shape, or form, but I do see us working on efforts to make change in our own city as
well as our county. For me, I want to keep working on that issue and hopefully make additional change.” Stewart, whose day job is as the assistant director of personnel and marketing at Cal Poly Campus Health and Wellbeing, is the first mayoral candidate to file paperwork in the city. Already endorsed by her four colleagues on the City Council, Stewart’s campaign announcement describes her as a leader who can find common ground, and touts her “diverse professional background … and history of volunteerism and philanthropy in the city and county.” Stewart is also the first Black mayor and City Council member in SLO’s history. While she said it took some time for her to embrace that part of her identity in the context of her role at the city, Stewart has come to value its importance, as she sees how it inspires others. “It took me a little while, but what it’s meant to some people as a big step forward, I had to stop almost diminishing what it means,” Stewart said. “I started to embrace it in that way, because I realize the more times there are firsts, there won’t be firsts anymore.” —Peter Johnson

Clouded by conflict Sunny Acres residents worry about their future while Dan DeVaul battles with the nonprofit and SLO County BY BULBUL RAJAGOPAL | PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM
D
an DeVaul’s motorized wheelchair announced his arrival before he zoomed out of the barn at Sunny Acres. When the cherry-red machine’s steady hum stopped, DeVaul started talking. “Like John Wayne said: ‘Mis raices estan aqui.’ It means my roots are buried here,” DeVaul said. With his outback hat shading his eyes from the sun, the 78-year-old surveyed his portion of the Sunny Acres ranch. His partner, Judie Najarian, sat beside him that Wednesday in late March. Together, they faced the property that has been a battleground between DeVaul and San Luis Obispo County for years. His own recovery process—after a vehicle accident left him temporarily disabled at 30 and subsequently addicted to prescription drugs and alcohol— inspired DeVaul in 2002 to convert his family’s Los Osos Valley Road property into a facility to help others facing substance abuse. The nonprofit recovery program he started, Sunny Acres, has been raising eyebrows ever since. By 2012, the county had slapped DeVaul with a nuisance abatement lawsuit for code violations at Sunny Acres that ranged from hoarding to people living in unpermitted structures. The court appointed a thirdparty health and safety receiver to fix these issues, and DeVaul still remembers the financial sting. “He can do whatever he wants, and when he gets through spending money, he comes to you and says, ‘Pay this and I’ll give you your ranch back.’ I had to pay him $110,000,” he said. Now, it’s happening again. In July 2021, the county issued another set of notices of violation. This time for unpermitted septic and power systems, having people live in RVs on the property, and the accumulation of close to 150,000 cubic yards of fill material on the ranch’s floodplain over 20 years. But DeVaul’s squabbles aren’t just with the county. Residents and program leaders from within the Sunny Acres nonprofit are worried his cantankerous interactions with the county will jeopardize the future of the people recovering on-site. When the county filed the most recent violation notices, members of the nonprofit agreed to work with the county to fix some of the issues. And they have one overarching goal: to retain Sunny Acres as a soberliving facility and nonprofit without DeVaul.
Internal combustion
Sunny Acres Program Director Johnny Rodriguez has always chosen “the harder route.” After dabbling in methamphetamines and marijuana, and stints in state prisons in Wasco and Susanville, his life took a turn for the worse when his brother fatally overdosed on psychiatric medications and alcohol. Rodriguez’s alcoholism crescendoed. He was drinking a gallon of vodka a day. “My sister found me in a motel room
PARTITION PLEASE The 72-acre Los Osos Valley Road property is divided between Dan DeVaul’s ranch and the 20 acres he now leases to the Sunny Acres nonprofit (pictured).

and gave me an option: Pick one of these two places and get your stuff together, or the family’s done with you,” the Santa Maria native said. “That day in the motel, a decision had to be made on my part. I looked at myself in the mirror and was very honest with myself. Either you’re gonna continue using and die, or go to prison for life, or you go do something different and give it a shot. What do you have to lose?” Rodriguez picked Sunny Acres. He’d heard stories about life at the property, given Sunny Acres’ firm footing in SLO County lore. He said the reality was far worse when he arrived in 2016 after quitting a string of cooking jobs in Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, and Nipomo. “It was a very toxic place. There were men and women both in the program at the time. I was offered to go drink and get high more times than I can count,” he said. Rodriguez added that the relationship between DeVaul and some program participants was prickly long before the county issued its second round of notices. “Upon arriving at Sunny Acres, you’re told, ‘The county’s bad, Dan’s good.’ You hear stories of Dan going to war with the county and they were all against what he was doing. Dan was helping all the undesirables with nowhere to go,” Rodriguez said. “These were all people who weren’t playing ball with Dan. So, it wasn’t advised or supported to go seek services from those agencies.” An accidental meeting in 2018—the same year Rodriquez worked as a program leader at Sunny Acres—with two representatives from TransitionsMental Health Association (TMHA) encouraged Rodriguez to go to rehab. The rehabilitation facility paid for him to go to the Sober College School of Addiction Studies in Sherman Oaks and be a substance abuse counselor, and Rodriguez hopes to take his certification test this

year. He said that working at Sunny Acres during the day and attending school at night delayed his goal of becoming a certified addiction counselor. Rodriguez pinpointed the start of his rift with DeVaul to 2018 when he became a program leader. By then, DeVaul was already five years into a 25-year lease that split the 72-acre property between the nonprofit and himself. Due to his failing health, DeVaul decided to mentor Rodriguez to eventually take over the responsibilities of running the facility. Rodriguez, in turn, wanted to transform Sunny Acres from a harm reduction site to a sober-living facility. “The harm reduction model with people using and drinking, I can go to the streets for that environment. At that moment, he told me, ‘You do what you gotta do.’ That’s when I took over the program, and people that were there for the wrong reasons started leaving—people actively using, selling to other clients,” Rodriguez said. The effect was almost instantaneous on Sunny Acres’ 75-strong population at the time. “Seventy percent were hiding behind sober living environments while still actively using drugs and alcohol. We had people working on the house. We would find beers in the rafters and pipes in the unfinished building. If you were able to work, it was overlooked,” Rodriguez said. Rodriguez is one of the three people advocating on behalf of the nonprofit. Another is Joseph Kurtzman, the peer services manager. He moved to Sunny Acres in 2019 after being a peer support worker at SLO Behavioral Health’s mental health outpatient clinic. Kurtzman told New Times that DeVaul often shouted at program participants and didn’t compensate them for the extensive labor they were ordered to do. “People were spoken to pretty brutally. People were not treated well. One thing was people were working 365 days a year, there were no days off whatsoever. That was going to change. It’s not like that now. People do work, generally half days, they have days off,” Kurtzman said. DeVaul’s partner, Najarian, said that ever since the nonprofit members took over duties on the property, participants haven’t been working as hard. Kurtzman partially agrees. “The work ethic is different in the sense that there are no people working eight to 10 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. So that’s true, that’s not happening,” he said. “If that’s how they define work ethic, then I’m very grateful that work ethic is gone from the property and banished, and I hope it never returns. People are working reasonable hours and not being exploited because they have nowhere to go.” Program participants pay a maximum
of $550 in rent per month. The amount varies based on how much each person can afford and their contribution to ranch upkeep. But DeVaul and Najarian said Sunny Acres degenerated from “vocational rehabilitation” to “more of a cheap place to live” in SLO. They added that the current structure is keeping people on the property for too long. Rodriguez said that the program participants have never had a time limit. “If the guys are doing good and are working the program of recovery and living a healthy life, why do they have to go anywhere?” Rodriguez said. “Dan would say you can stay here as long as you want.”
Forever feuding
Even after DeVaul shelled out $110,000 to the court-appointed receiver 10 years ago, the county took an additional measure to try to prevent future issues. In May 2013, the property became subject to a permanent injunction that banned DeVaul from a slew of actions— such as having people live in storage units like the garden sheds or increasing the outdoor storage capacity on the property. The injunction also stated that the property and its structures need to remain free of “land use, building, and health and safety violations.” County officials inspected the ranch in June 2021, Assistant County Counsel Jon Ansolabehere said. The 2013 injunction hadn’t prevented Sunny Acres from doing any of those things. “I think there were about 14 sheds adjacent to the stucco barn that people were living in. We also found that people were living in RVs. The RVs were hooked up to power and septic. We don’t have any permits for the septic system or the power they were hooked up to,” Ansolabehere told New Times. “We also found that there was additional unpermitted work that was in the barn where Mr. DeVaul is, that there were actually two unpermitted apartments people were living in underneath Mr. DeVaul’s apartment,” he continued. “There was unpermitted electricity running also in the stucco barn to a whole bunch of refrigerators that were immediately adjacent to the sheds people were living in that also had unpermitted electrical boxes and outlets.” The combination of these violations and issues with filling in the floodplain next to Laguna Lake compelled the county to issue the new violation notices last July. Rodriguez said DeVaul called him at the time, panicking about managing the accumulated dirt, and asked him to take care of it. “We took Sunny Acres money and put in the first round of erosion control because it’s our home and we’re gonna
do whatever it takes to fix the problem,” Rodriguez said. “I was told [by DeVaul] that it was a waste of money and that the county wasn’t going to do anything and we wasted our time.” As Rodriguez started taking more responsibility for the program in 2018, he said he noticed DeVaul beginning to truck dirt onto the property. He claimed DeVaul was approached by multiple trucking companies that wanted to dump their dirt on-site for a fee. “I knew what he was doing was wrong, but I was focused on the program. Plus, the guys I was working with were then assigned to go out on his dirt, to pick up rocks and clear debris. If they didn’t do that he would kick them out. I’m the buffer between him and the guys,” Rodriguez said. Ansolabehere said that it’s a difficult process to bring Sunny Acres up to code and ensure its participants are housed in another space during the interim. Roughly half of the 40 men currently in the program are registered sex offenders, and that complicates the situation. “Sunny Acres has removed five of the nine RVs and were able to find accommodations for those individuals either at the site or elsewhere,” Ansolabehere said. “It’s difficult. We understand the difficulties in terms of the individuals living there, they’re in a sober-living process. Some of them are sex registrants, very difficult to house elsewhere. “At the same time, we want to make sure they have safe drinking water and permitted housing. That’s our goal.” DeVaul thinks the county should be more grateful for his services. He added that the county doesn’t want Sunny Acres to shutter since he is the one picking up the pieces for them. “Isn’t it funny? People from Drug and Alcohol, they’ve got facilities up there to take care of people. But they love sending them out for me to take care of them. The sheriff brings people out here—the people with 290s, the sex offenders. Parole has been sending people out here ever since I started. But yet, they can’t throw enough rocks at Dan DeVaul and Sunny Acres,” DeVaul said. But DeVaul’s public declarations of helping the downtrodden have members of the nonprofit worried about the narrative he’s spinning. Kurtzman said that while DeVaul isn’t the owner of Sunny Acres because of its nonprofit nature, he has consolidated his power over the years as the founder of the program. Both DeVaul and his son James are on the board of directors. As the primary signer of the organization’s checking account, DeVaul clutches the program’s purse strings. Last year, he blocked Kurtzman, Rodriguez, and other organization board members and staff
from accessing the Sunny Acres checking account and canceled the nonprofit’s credit card. As the landlord, Kurtzman said, DeVaul also dangles the possibility of eviction over their heads. “He acted on his own interests, not in the interests of the people he serves. His position is what allows him to keep trying to evict us, and we’re sick of it,” Kurtzman said. “What we want is him and his son off the board of directors.”
Self-help strategies
Ever since DeVaul cut the nonprofit off from accessing the Sunny Acres checking account and credit card, Rodriguez and other staffers have had to devise new ways to sustain the program. Years before the rift, Sunny Acres sold pumpkins, firewood, and Christmas trees. Coupled with the program fees, DeVaul said these ventures raked in considerable revenue. But, DeVaul told New Times that these sales took a hit in 2021 under the nonprofit’s management. While Christmas tree and firewood deals decreased because of supplier issues and conflict with transporting material from DeVaul’s side of the ranch to the nonprofit’s 20-acre lot, the failure of Sunny Acres’ pumpkin crop underscores the ranch’s major water problem. “The way Dan puts things together, it’s very cheaply done. Yes, you can get by with the way he does things, but in the end, it’s gonna cost more to fix it. We lost our agricultural well, so we couldn’t water pumpkins,” Rodriguez said. DeVaul’s old well doesn’t meet minimum water quality standards, though Najarian said they’re slowly making headway to update it. One solution was to get water service hooked up from the city of SLO, but that deal met a roadblock. “The difficulty with that is Mr. DeVaul does not have a good track record over the years in terms of his compliance with codes. It’s the decision for the city of San Luis Obispo. Extending water service outside of their boundaries is antithetical to a lot of their policies of ‘grow up, not grow out,’” Ansolabehere said. Instead, Rodriguez contacted Hague Quality Water to provide clean water on-site. The nonprofit also paid $5,000 to install a nitrate filtration system on the property, and Hague maintains it. This water is used for cooking, cleaning, and showering. Additionally, the nonprofit contracts with Culligan Water for bottled water deliveries every month. But they ran into a problem as recently as April 19. DeVaul told the water service to cancel deliveries to the nonprofit, according to Kurtzman. “Culligan staff said on Tuesday that he

Litigation limbo
“It’s getting crazy out here since the lawsuit dropped,” said David Dieter, Sunny Acres’ construction manager who is the third in the trio of peer leaders and advocates. Dieter added that residents have been anxious about their futures since news broke in early April about the litigation. DeVaul, perhaps, is just as worried.

options for care. “There are a number of core services for both mental health and substance use disorder treatment, including psychotherapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, medication services, and case management,” she said. “The county and our contracted partners also provide other services, including crisis response, prevention services, and court-related programs such as drug court, veterans court, family treatment court, and mental health diversion court.” While the county, the nonprofit, and DeVaul argue over who controls Sunny Acres, another party wants to get involved. Santa Margarita couple Mike and Cheryl Cole are interested in buying DeVaul’s ranch, fixing the violations, and letting the nonprofit continue to run the program. But as of September 2021, DeVaul didn’t want to let go, and the ongoing litigation could add uncertainty for the Coles as well. “If they ultimately purchase the property, they will ultimately be responsible for cleaning it up,” Assistant County Counsel Ansolabehere said. “Most buyers don’t usually purchase property that’s subject of a nuisance abatement [lawsuit], but you never know.” ∆ Reach Staff Writer Bulbul Rajagopal at brajagopal@newtimesslo.com.

Hospital of the future Setting the standard for neonatal intensive care
C
ontrary to the unfortunate opinion of some (“Duplication isn’t better,” April 21), French Hospital Medical Center is proceeding on a sustained and progressive path to enhance the quality of care for all members of our community. It remains French Hospital’s goal to raise the level and standard of care through innovation and the adoption of “best practice” in care protocols, while responsibly and prudently managing consumer costs. In fact, current data validates that the implementation of best practices leads to not only better care, but is also associated with reduced health care costs. The practice of medicine is constantly changing, constantly evolving and advancing, and French Hospital is committed to bringing those advancements in care to our community. SLO County deserves the best that we can provide. Last year, French Hospital celebrated 75 years of providing exceptional care to the residents of San Luis Obispo. Since it first opened its doors in 1946, the facility has evolved to meet the needs of our growing community, and is now nationally recognized for patient safety, cardiac care, orthopedics, stroke treatment, and maternity. From the beginning, we made a commitment to provide exceptional health care for every stage of life, combining physicians from top medical schools, the latest advanced technologies, and safe, quality care for our patients and their families—a promise we intend to keep. To date, we have expanded our facility to include the renowned Copeland, Forbes
HODIN
& Rossi Cardiac Care Center, Copeland Health Education Pavilion, Stollmeyer Family Birthing Center, Hearst Cancer Resource Center, Oppenheimer Family Center for Emergency Medicine, and more. As our community continues to grow, we remain committed to being at the forefront of health care. As such, we are building the hospital of the future—your new French Hospital—a culmination of a vision of superior health care and a pledge to care for the community well into the future. This will transform French into the hospital of the future, far exceeding the needs and expectations of our growing community through advanced technologies and highly skilled personnel. The elaborate $150 million-plus project is being partially funded through the Beyond Health campaign, with community support from our donors, who share in our vision. When our patients and their families spoke, we listened. The decision to build an innovative neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was in part at the request of the community. Their support has been vast and backed with generous gifts of more than $5 million for the NICU project alone. Constructing the modernized 16bed Level III Stan and Barbara Clark NICU advances excellence by offering comprehensive care for expectant mothers and their babies. Parents should have the opportunity to select where they want to give birth, and our Stollmeyer Birthing Center will integrate seamlessly with our new NICU, offering an elite birthing experience and the safety net of neonatal care, if required.

The acute care nursery at French has been caring for premature and other sick newborns for several years, but the NICU at French Hospital represents an advancement of integrated maternalchild services on the Central Coast. The substantial investment in staff, facility, and equipment will help ensure that the NICU continues to provide excellent care. Newborn intensive care is one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing fields in all of medicine. Approaches and equipment that were considered “state-ofthe-art” years and decades ago have given way to evidenced-based, innovative, and often less invasive techniques. Our advanced NICU will utilize the latest ventilators, infusion pumps, radiant warmers, isolettes, and other equipment to help ensure the safe care of our tiniest and most fragile patients. The new facility at French Hospital will meet or exceed all current state requirements for NICU care in California. In many cases, the requirements will be far exceeded with: • Private family-centric patient rooms; research shows that private rooms facilitate healing and bonding, and enhance patient safety. • Sleeping arrangements so parents can stay with their babies. • Generous square footage allotted per baby to help keep the unit free of infections. The new NICU, designed in consultation with our local neonatologists, will be the only one of its kind in San Luis Obispo County. Even beyond this significant commitment, the NICU also draws from the mission-driven, not-for-profit approach of CommonSpirit Health, Dignity Health’s parent company. In fact, many nationally adopted initiatives (obstetrical complications, newborn

Opinion
The Shredder
Martyr syndrome
T
he mythos of Dan DeVaul is that he’s a good man with a cantankerous streak who’s generously devoted himself and his ranch to those struggling with addiction, helping them overcome their problems to lead clean and sober lives. Saint Dan bravely jousted—Don Quixote-style—with the uncaring SLO County bureaucracy as it cruelly made his compassionate vocation more difficult. DeVaul was, after all, taking in and helping those who county services wouldn’t or couldn’t. Without DeVaul, the people staying at Sunny Acres—his nonprofit clean and sober living facility— would be out on the street. In short, Dan DeVaul is a goddamn American hero—a David fighting the county’s Goliath, an underdog sticking up for the little guy, a Robin Hood helping the poor and downtrodden. It’s a romantic notion, isn’t it? And there’s some truth to it, right? DeVaul leases 20 acres of his 72-acre property to the Sunny Acres nonprofit. As a recovered alcoholic and pill-popper himself, DeVaul knows addiction and what it takes to overcome it. But if Dan is such a wonderful, generous, benevolent figure, why are some of the nonprofit’s resident-leaders accusing him of abuse and malfeasance, and trying to push him out? And why now—10 years after DeVaul settled his dispute with the county to bring his ranch into code compliance—
is he once again facing a bevy of the very same code violations? What kind of a shit show is he running out there? Perhaps most importantly, why does DeVaul think the rules don’t apply to him? “Isn’t it funny?” DeVaul asked New Times. “People from [SLO County] Drug and Alcohol, they’ve got facilities up there to take care of people. But they love sending them out for me to take care of them. The sheriff brings people out here—the people with 290s, the sex offenders. Parole has been sending people out here ever since I started. But yet, they can’t throw enough rocks at Dan DeVaul and Sunny Acres.” There’s your answer! Dan DeVaul doesn’t have to follow the rules because Dan DeVaul, who speaks of himself in the third person, is doing what no one else is willing to do. He’s like Jesus washing the feet of lepers, see? That’s why he doesn’t have to supply potable water to his residents, who he charges up to $550 a month to live there and who are expected to work his ranch. That’s why he can install a septic system, build apartments, and do electrical work without pulling permits or following building codes. I mean, what? You gonna make Jesus get a catering license before he feeds 5,000 men with fives loaves of bread and
much is “DeVaul said, Rodriguez said” two fish? Hell no! Go, Dan! You freaking remains to be seen, but what’s not in rule, bro! Damn, is that a halo I see? dispute is DeVaul’s continual flouting of Which is why it’s weird that not county codes.

ainting with hot wax is hard. You could burn yourself. You need the right tools. And you need patience. “It’s a very versatile kind of material, but it’s pretty unforgiving, too, if you don’t know how to work with it,” Los Osos artist Kay Burnett said. “I think that people working with encaustic—they either love it or they hate it, and I, obviously, am one of those people who love it.” The president of the International Encaustic Artists (IEA) association described the moment she saw her first encaustic painting as “love at first sight.” She never looked back after after taking a class in 2008 from Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch, someone Burnett described as a well-known member of the encaustic art community who helped get people really involved with the medium by teaching classes. Seggebruch led a workshop as part of the recent IEA retreat in collaboration with Art Center Morro Bay—ConVergence - Wax on the Water—where she also received an award for her contributions to the encaustic art community. With more than 300 active members in the IEA from almost 20 different countries and six continents, encaustic artists from all over the world met in Morro Bay during April to participate. They attended workshops from local and international artists, and the retreat culminated with a juried exhibition of encaustic paintings and sculpture. Burnett said about 90 artists submitted more than 200

n his feature length debut, Fabio Frey directs this coming-of-age story about Lucas Varela (Pedro Correa, who co-wrote the script with the director), an aimless young man who learns that his estranged father, Augusto (Ricardo Molina), has died, leaving him a Los Angeles apartment building. Thinking he’d simply sell it, Lucas instead finds himself growing up as his dad’s friend and building superintendent, Frank (Raymond Cruz), teaches him about his father, as do the building’s eclectic tenants. (93 min.)
Glen Lucas is a burnout—angry, selfdestructive, and going nowhere. His claim to fame was being part of a Reno, Nevada, skateboarding ring known for posting sick videos of dangerous skate stunts, but his skating days are behind him. When his mother, Jane (Terry Walters), tells him his dad has died, Lucas’ reaction is little more than an angry shrug, but then he learns that dealing with his father’s estate has fallen to him, so he travels to Los Angeles to handle what he’s sure is a useless mess. He knows he’s too irresponsible to deal with managing a building, and his Uncle Tommy (Steven Bauer) is eager to help him sell … and collect a cut. Frank, the building superintendent, has other ideas, demanding that Lucas go around and introduce himself to the tenants even if he plans to sell the building and move on because, for now, they’re his responsibility. So starts a learning process as Lucas gets to know his dad through those who interacted with him during their estrangement. Anna Lucas is deeply bitter toward his dad, and abandonment issues abound with him. Yet when he arrives in LA, both Tommy and Frank talk about how much his dad loved and cared for him. Cue eye rolling and even more bitterness from Lucas, because if his dad did care, he certainly didn’t tell Lucas about it. Lucas meets Sophie (Courtney Dietz), a building tenant who’s charmingly

He doesn’t like Reno where he lived, but is LA really the answer or just another way to escape facing his own demons and growing up? He starts to fall for Sophie only to learn she isn’t as available as it seemed, but nevertheless the two still road-trip to good old San Luis Obispo (mispronounced, of course) to check out another of his dad’s properties, and they wind up complicating their relationship even more. I thought these two actors worked particularly well together. The film had me pretty invested in not just Lucas’ story, but the fate of the tenants as well. He starts to care about them, and that complicates things. Glen This is an indie film through and through, and it’s an impressive feature-length debut for director Frey and feature-length writing debut for Correa, who’s written 20 shorts. They manage to tap into a lot of deep emotional places, and you really care about these characters. Bauer, perhaps best known for playing Manny Ribera in Scarface (1983), is terrific as Uncle Tommy, who’s all swagger masking a man on the brink

of disaster. Cruz, a reliable character actor in dozens of popular films such as Under Siege, Clear and Present Danger, Alien: Resurrection, and Training Day, imbues Frank with a nobility found in those who realize they can be of service, which is exactly what he wants Lucas to realize. It’s an effective coming-ofage story, as Lucas realizes authentic happiness comes from being responsible. One of the great things about the SLO Film Fest is having access to these really engaging films that we might otherwise never see. My Dead Dad is absolutely worth a trip to the theater. Anna Exactly! This most likely would not have come across my radar if not for the SLO Film Fest, and I’m so glad it did! It was deftly shot, the soundtrack was moody and cool, and I totally got into the storyline. It’s always great to see recognizable faces in these indie films, and Bauer and Cruz bring their seasoned know-how to these parts. Varela was a great lead as well. Lucas is a lot more than just a burnout ex-skateboarder with father issues, and his performance paints that more complex picture. He finds out that perhaps his perception of his father abandoning him isn’t accurate, and that leads to the even more difficult truth that he didn’t get to have any time with his dad before he passed. It’s an emotional film and has a wonderful indie vibe. I absolutely recommend seeing this at the festival if you can. Δ

Filled with both funny and tender moments, it’s really the story of a middleage crisis and a woman afraid of being alone. Frida’s desperate behavior may make you cringe, but at her core, she’s a kind, sweet person who deserves better. Wisely, the story doesn’t play Felix as a bad guy—just a guy who’s trying to do right for himself, his girlfriend, and the mother of his child. Life is complicated; Sweet Disaster doesn’t try to simplify it. (in German, Finnish, and English; 90 min.) —Glen

riters-directors Seanne Winslow and Adam Sjoberg helm this drama about best friends and zoo workers Tariq (Rami Zahar) and Cai (Rupert Fennessy), who join forces to steal exotic animals from the zoo and sell them on the black market in a bid to buy Tariq’s sister, Alia (Noor Al-Huda), a divorce from an abusive marriage. Living in Oman, Tariq and his sister come from a poor family, and Alia’s marriage was arranged. Cai, a
rich foreigner who spent much of his childhood in Oman with his researcher parents, loves animals and hopes to attend a Canadian university with an animal conservation program. His Arabic is perfect, and yet he’s still considered an outsider. Tariq just hopes to return to high school and graduate. It’s really the story of the cultural differences between two friends from wildly different backgrounds. Based on true events, the film is a soulful if somewhat restrained tale full of empathy and humanity. It’s an example of the sort of amazing films the SLO International Film Festival offers.

Well-blended New South County smoothie shop strikes the perfect balance between delicious and health-conscious

t’s rare that someone’s childhood career ambitions become their reality as an adult, but SLO County local Chantal King experienced just that when she and her partner, James Clayton, opened Mellow Banana Smoothie Shop on April 1. “I’ve wanted to open a smoothie shop for over 10 years,” King said. “It was a dream I had when I was in middle school. I just love smoothies, fresh fruit, everything like that. And I was really into eating healthy.” With her interest in health and food science in mind, King studied to become a physician assistant. “I saw the huge connect between diet and lifestyle and how that impacts health,” King said. “And I was like, if we could just get people to eat healthier and make it simple, maybe this would help prevent a lot of health issues down the road.” King decided to combine her dream to open a smoothie shop with her passion for promoting a tasty and accessible healthy diet, and Mellow Banana was born. “Every smoothie we make has a specific purpose, or is geared toward something: energy, or anti-inflammatory, or good for your stomach, that type of thing,” King
CHILDHOOD DREAM Mellow Banana co-owner Chantal King (right) has dreamed of opening a smoothie shop since she was a kid. Alongside her co-owner and partner, James Clayton (left), she did just that.
AWESOME AÇAI Mellow Banana’s açai bowls come packed with superfoods: açai, cacao nibs, goji berries, peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, and more.

LEGAL NOTICES Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www. altisource.com/loginpage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2021-00663-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: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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.

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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-882596-CL. 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: 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

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 (949) 860-9155 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit www.chtrustdeed.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 22-100109. 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: 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 (949) 305-8901, or visit this internet website, www. chtrustdeed.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22100109 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. Please take notice that if the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Further, if the foreclosure sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid and shall have no further recourse or remedy against the Mortgagor, Mortgagee, or Trustee herein. If you have previously been discharged in bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this notice is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are notified that a negative credit reporting may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligation.

for the week of April 28
Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Make a guess about when you will fulfill your next sweet ambition. Newsletter.freewillwstrology.com ARIES
LIBRA
(March 21-April 19): I recommend you adopt a limitation that will enable you to claim more freedom. For example, you could de-emphasize your involvement with a lukewarm dream so as to liberate time and energy for a passionate dream. Or you could minimize your fascination with a certain negative emotion to make more room for invigorating emotions. Any other ideas? You’re in a phase when increased discipline and discernment can be liberating.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suspect you will have the skills of an acrobat in the coming weeks—at least metaphorically. You will be psychically nimble. Your soul will have an exceptional ability to carry out spry maneuvers that keep you sane and sound. Even more than usual, you will have the power to adjust on the fly and adapt to shifting circumstances. People you know may marvel at your lithe flexibility. They will compliment you for your classiness under pressure. But I suspect the feats you accomplish may feel surprisingly easy and breezy!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Imagining anything is the first step toward creating it,” wrote author and activist Gloria Steinem. “Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born,” she added. Those are excellent meditations for you to focus on right now, Taurus. The time is ripe for you to envision in detail a specific new situation or adventure you would like to manifest in the future. It’s also a perfect moment to picture a truer, deeper, more robust version of your beautiful self—an expanded version of your identity that you hope to give birth to in the coming months.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author William Butler Yeats won a Nobel Prize for Literature, so I conclude he had considerable talent and wisdom. But he cultivated interests and ideas that were at variance with most other literary figures. For example, he believed fairies are real. He was a student of occult magic. Two of his books were dictated by spirits during séances. In the coming weeks, I invite you to draw inspiration from his versatile repertoire. Welcome knowledge in whatever unusual ways it might materialize. Be eager to accept power and inspiration wherever they are offered. For inspiration, here’s a Yeats’ quote: “I have observed dreams and visions very carefully, and am certain that the imagination has some way of lighting on the truth that reason has not, and that its commandments, delivered when the body is still and the reason silent, are the most binding we can ever know.”
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You know what’s always good for your well-being? Helping people who are less fortunate and less privileged than you. To enhance your health, you can also fight bigotry, campaign against the abuse of animals, and remedy damage to the natural world. If you carry out tasks like these in the coming weeks, you will boost your vigor and vitality even more than usual. You may be amazed at the power of your compassion to generate selfish benefits for yourself. Working on behalf of others will uplift and nurture you. To further motivate you, here are inspirational words from designer Santiago Bautista: “I am in love with all the gifts of the world, and especially those destined for others to enjoy.”
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “There is a moment in each day that Satan cannot find,” wrote author and artist William Blake. Here’s how I interpret his poetic words: On a regular basis, you become relatively immune from the debilitating effects of melancholy, apathy, and fear. At those times, you are blessed with the freedom to be exactly who you want to be. You can satisfy your soul completely. In the next six weeks, I suspect there will be more of these interludes for you than usual. How do you plan to use your exalted respite from Satan’s nagging?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Poet Louis Little Coon Oliver (1904-1991) was a member of the indigenous Mvskoke people. He declared, “I do not waste what is wild.” That might mean something different for him than what it would mean for you, but it’s an excellent principle for you to work with in the coming weeks. You will have more access than usual to wildness, and you might be tempted to use it casually or recklessly. I hope that instead you harness all that raw mojo with precision and grace. Amazingly, being disciplined in your use of the wildness will ensure that it enriches you to the max and generates potent transformative energy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A Tumblr blogger named Af-70 gives copious advice. From his wide selection of wise counsel, I have selected six tips that are right for your needs in the coming weeks. Please study the following counsel. 1. “Real feelings don’t change fast.” 2. “Connect deeply or not at all.” 3. “Build a relationship in which you and your ally can be active in each other’s growth.” 4. “Sometimes what you get is better than what you wanted.” 5. “Enjoy the space between where you are and where you are going.” 6. “Keep it real with me even if it makes us tremble and shimmer.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Consider putting a sign on your door or a message on your social media that says something like the following: “I’ve still got some healing to do. While I’m making progress, I’m only partway there. Am open to your suggestions, practical tips, and suggestions for cures I don’t know about.” Though the process is as yet incomplete, Sagittarius, I am proud of how diligent and resourceful you have been in seeking corrections and fixes. My only suggestions: 1. Be bold about seeking help and support. 2. Be aggressive about accessing your creativity. Expand your imagination about what might be therapeutic.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To uncover what is hidden in my soul might take me a week or two,” my friend Allie told me. I told her she would be lucky if her brave and challenging exploration required such a short time. In contrast, some people I know have spent years trying to find what is buried and lost in their souls: me, for instance. There was one period of my life when I sought for over a decade to find and identify the missing treasure. According to my astrological analysis, you will soon enjoy multiple discoveries and revelations that will be more like Allie’s timeline than mine: relatively rapid and complete. Get ready! Be alert!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Thai cook named Nattapong Kaweenuntawong has a unique method for cooking the soup served in his Bangkok restaurant. At the end of each night, he saves the broth for use the next day. He has been doing that daily for 45 years. Theoretically, there may be molecules of noodles that were originally thrown in the pot back in 1977. In accordance with current astrological omens, I urge you to dream up a new tradition that borrows from his approach. What experience could you begin soon that would benefit you for years to come?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pisces-born Casimir Pulaski (1745-1779) was a Polish nobleman and military commander. As a young man, he fought unsuccessfully to free Poland from Russian domination. Driven into exile, he fled to America, arriving during the Revolutionary War with Britain in 1777. General George Washington was impressed with Pulaski’s skills, making the immigrant a brigadier general. He distinguished himself as a leader of American forces, exhibiting brilliance and bravery. For that excellence, he has been honored. But now, over two centuries later, his identity is in flux. DNA analyses of Pulaski’s remains suggest he was an intersex person with both male and female qualities. (Read more: tinyurl.com/PulaskiSmithsonian.) I bring this to your attention, Pisces, because the coming months will be a favorable time to question and revise your understanding of your identity. May you be inspired by Pulaski’s evolving distinctiveness. ∆
