Feds float nuclear aid criteria changes to accommodate Diablo Canyon

he U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing a last-minute amendment to its guidelines for the $6 billion aid package that’s aimed at saving struggling nuclear power plants—a change that specifically favors Diablo Canyon Power Plant. In turn, for the first time, PG&E openly expressed interest in applying for a portion of the aid and changing course on its 2016 decision to shutter the nuclear power plant located on the shores of San Luis Obispo County. “The people of PG&E are proud of the role that Diablo Canyon Power Plant plays in our state,” company spokesperson Suzanne Hosn said in a statement on June 21. “We are open to applying for DOE funding.” On June 17, the DOE unveiled the proposed amendment to its criteria guiding applicants seeking a slice of the $6 billion package for nuclear plants, which is funded by the Biden administration’s recently passed infrastructure law. That revision, open for public comment through June 27, eliminates a requirement that the nuclear plant applicant operate in a competitive marketplace and not recover more than 50 percent of its costs from regulated contracts or rates. In a letter sent from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office to the DOE on May 23, Newsom explicitly asked for that amendment to accommodate Diablo Canyon—which recovers its costs from regulated rates and may not meet the competitive marketplace criteria. In April, Newsom told the Los Angeles Times that he was concerned that closing Diablo as planned in 2024-25 could lead to blackouts and increased greenhouse gas emissions in California— sparking a hurried effort to change course. “The state is evaluating a temporary delay of the planned retirement of Diablo Canyon Power Plant,” Newsom’s letter to the DOE read. “A key factor for the state’s evaluation of an extension and its economic viability is whether the first award period for the Civil Nuclear Credit Program [the aid package] applies to Diablo Canyon Power Plant.” Newsom argued that Diablo needs the federal assistance to cover the “significant” costs associated with pivoting from a planned shutdown to ongoing operation—an undertaking where “there is no existing cost recovery mechanism.” “For Diablo Canyon to extend operations, it would incur significant transition costs over the next four years to perform necessary studies, invest in plant enhancements, and obtain licenses and permits,” the governor’s letter read. “The fact that the revenue that Diablo

SAVE IT? A hurried push to stop Diablo Canyon Power Plant from closing continues as the U.S. Department of Energy is proposing changes to the guidelines for federal aid applicants to accommodate the plant.

Canyon may generate in the electricity market comes from cost-of-service ratemaking does not alter the fact that extending operations at Diablo Canyon would cause significant economic losses of the sort that the Civil Nuclear Credit Program was designed to address.” According to the DOE, the new proposed guidance would “provide a nuclear reactor with the opportunity to demonstrate that it has operating losses notwithstanding the percentage for cost-of-service revenues and market revenues.” It added that the amendment “is consistent with Congress’ intent to provide taxpayer dollars only for amounts needed to keep nuclear reactors operational.” The recent interplay between the DOE, Newsom, and PG&E drew mixed reactions from Diablo Canyon stakeholders. Linda Seeley, a spokesperson for SLO Mothers for Peace, an anti-nuclear group, called the shifting DOE guidelines “a monumental scam” and blasted its brief 10-day public comment period. “Is this a deal that’s being made behind closed doors?” Seeley asked. Seeley called the arguments for keeping Diablo Canyon running “scare tactics” and said the state is more prepared than ever to transition away from nuclear power (and its radioactive byproduct) to renewable sources, with increased battery storage for solar power. “We have more than enough to fill in the gap,” she said. David Weisman, outreach coordinator for the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility, said that the DOE’s proposed revisions fly in the face of

the aid’s underpinning legislation, which was to help save power plants in economic distress. “Diablo is not the poster child of what this legislation is looking for,” Weisman said. “This isn’t just about California—this is a national program and a national plan. Go look at the reactors in Illinois or Ohio. They don’t have a guaranteed captured monopoly [like] PG&E.” Weisman added that PG&E would face an enormous set of deferred maintenance needs, regulatory hurdles, and other investments to successfully operate the plant past 2024-25. All planning and effort since 2016 has gone toward a presumed shutdown, he said. “How much of this stuff needs to be spun around 180 degrees, and how much time do they have?” he said. Pro-nuclear groups gave a different take. Heather Hoff, co-founder of the local nonprofit Mothers For Nuclear, said she believes the U.S. should be trying to “save virtually all existing nuclear plants, regardless of the reason for shutdown.” “Though shutting down Diablo Canyon never made sense in the first place, it’s even more obvious now. California doesn’t have enough electricity, period,” Hoff said in an email. “Our markets are broken in that they don’t reward nuclear plant operators for the reliable, clean, and massive generation provided. … I hope the state, our utilities, and the federal government will all work diligently to dig us out of this energy mess, and a huge first step will be continuing operation of Diablo Canyon.” Δ —Peter Johnson

residents alleging neighborhood nuisances and noncompliance. At its June 21 meeting, the City Council unanimously approved an interim urgency ordinance to impose a moratorium on issuing STR permits and deliberate more robust enforcement policies at a later date. “I’d like to know where the hell we went wrong? We got a great town here, and all of a

sudden it’s so attractive to everyone that they don’t care how much they have to pay for a penalty. It happens everywhere. … They will pay anything just to have use of the house,” Councilmember Sheila Blake said at the meeting. While violations of STR regulations can be NEWS continued page 5

prosecuted criminally as a misdemeanor, most incidents are solved with fines starting at $750 and $1,000 for each violation thereafter. Councilmembers Blake and Scott Newton declared such measures weren’t punitive enough. The city’s staff report details that Pismo Beach imposed almost $30,000 in fines since 2020 for STR violations. Nearly half of that amount came from winning a court case that a then-licensed STR operator filed against the city to overturn $16,750 in fines for illegally operating out of their rental. “Unfortunately, people think they can do what they want and the municipal code appears to be advisory. … I assure you the municipal code is not a recommendation, … we do enforce them. We see an increase of people choosing to say, ‘I’m not going to pay your fine, have a nice day,’” City Manager James Lewis said at the meeting. City officials aren’t the only ones who are annoyed. In the lead-up to the meeting, 10 Pismo Beach residents sent letters complaining about a specific STR at 125 N. Silver Shoals Drive. They alleged that the owner who recently inherited the property does not physically live there for the required amount of time to be STR-compliant. Further, they complained about a constant turnover of tenants being a nuisance to the neighborhood in terms of parking and trash disposal. “The owner … began to run an illegal and unpermitted STR in October, November, December, and January until the neighbors kept complaining to the city. The city fined her, and then she immediately changed her driver’s license on Feb. 14, 2022, and most likely her voter registration at the same time. She discovered what documentation the staff wanted to see to issue her a permit. Staff ignored the most important section that requires that the owner live and OCCUPY the property for more than 6 months. She clearly has NEVER lived at this address, yet the city granted her a STR permit against the city code,” read one letter. That letter also alleged that Pismo Beach provided neighbors with the wrong hotline number to file complaints. City Attorney David Fleishman announced at the meeting that the neighbors were welcome to present evidence for the city to investigate. At a future meeting, City Council will deliberate setting more stringent rules around permit issuance. Some of these include increasing the length of time a property owner has to live in the house, enforcing stricter guidelines on trash disposal and pickup times, not allowing illegal rentals to apply for a permit for several years as punishment, get neighbors involved in approving rental permits, and implementing a cap on the percentage of single-family housing units in single-family zones to preserve housing stock. “I don’t want the onus to be put on neighbors, and it seems like right now it is. There’s got to be another way we can strengthen our own ordinance, so these little things don’t trickle on to our neighbors, and these bad eggs don’t get in,” Councilmember Marcia Guthrie said. —Bulbul Rajagopal

EMPLOYMENT Paso groundwater basin gets revised sustainability plan

With $3.5 million in hand, the city of Paso Robles is moving forward with a water recycling project included in the as-yet unapproved plan to bring the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin into sustainability. “We’re still moving forward with implementation of the plan,” city Public Works Director Christopher Alakel told the Paso City Council on June 21. “We recently got some grant funding to do some projects, including a portion of our recycled water project.” In May, SLO County received about $7.6 million for management projects in the Paso basin from the Department of Water Resources, which gave out almost $200 million in grants to agencies managing critically overdrafted basins in the state. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act passed in 2014 requires those water basins to implement groundwater sustainability plans (GSPs). While the state rejected the Paso GSP submitted in 2020, revisions to that plan are ready for approval from the four groundwater sustainability agencies that collectively manage the basin. During its June 21 meeting, the Paso Robles City Council—acting as the Paso Robles Groundwater Sustainability Agency—was the first to approve that revised GSP, which needs to be resubmitted to the state by July 20. Iris Priestaf from Todd Groundwater, the consulting company hired to work with the state on plan revisions, said they’ve been working with the Department of Water Resources since last June, when the state first indicated it had potential issues with the first iteration of the Paso GSP. “We looked at basically the whole thing. The revisions start on the cover,” Priestaf told council members. “We did everything they asked and clearly I’m hoping for approval so we can continue with groundwater sustainability planning.” All total, Priestaf said they revised and replaced seven sections of the GSP and added one in response to the state’s requests. The state wanted Paso’s GSP to include more details about the target groundwater levels established in the plan, why they were picked, and what their impacts could be on water users, especially shallow domestic wells. California also wanted more information about how the surface water, such as the Salinas River and Upper San Juan Creek, was interconnected with groundwater and what the impacts of low groundwater levels could be on those habitats. “The fact is that we needed to get a lot of information, multiple avenues of information, and ended up recommending additional monitoring,” she said. As part of the $7.6 million SLO County received in May, $1.4 million was to address data monitoring gaps by adding monitoring wells, stream gauges, and climatologic stations over the basin. In an announcement about the state funding, the state touted the recycled water project in Paso as one that will reduce the need to pump groundwater from the basin and “further improve the sustainability of the city’s water supply and provide a supplemental water supply to irrigators in the basin.” Paso Public Works Director Alakel told

New Times that recycled water can also be a steady, consistent supply of water for that the city and irrigators can rely on. “Recycled water is something that’s pretty insulated from the issues we’re having right now in the state with drought,” Alakel said. “It really has some drought resiliency that other water streams don’t necessarily provide.” The Shandon-San Juan Water District was slated to vote on the revised GSP June 22, San Miguel Community Services District is scheduled to hear it on June 23, and SLO County on July 12. —Camillia Lanham

SLO purchases 36 vehicle barriers to protect downtown events

San Luis Obispo’s downtown farmers’ market and other big city events are about to get a lot more secure. At its June 21 meeting, the SLO City Council signed off on the purchase of three dozen anti-vehicle barriers, which will be rolled out every Thursday night to block the entryways to the popular downtown farmers’ market. The barriers—each 3 feet tall, 2 feet wide, and 700 pounds—will be installed in a line across streets to thwart attempted vehicular attacks. According to the company that makes them, Meridian Rapid Defense Group, the barriers have “heavy-duty back plates” that “dig into the vehicle.” SLO decided to purchase a set of movable barriers after spending years planning for a more significant investment in permanent, retractable bollards downtown. That project, which was estimated to cost about $1.3 million, was ultimately scrapped due to “high installation and ongoing maintenance costs,” according to a June 21 city staff report. The three-dozen Meridian barriers— called Archer 1200s—cost the city $331,280 total and take less than 10 minutes to deploy via trailer, according to SLO and Meridian. “Unlike fixed bollards, our barriers are non-lethal to the driver and minimize shrapnel spray. They are 100 percent reusable after impact and have a lifetime warranty,” a fact sheet for the product read. The barriers are a welcome addition to the farmers’ market, its nearly 100 vendors, and thousands of attendees, according to Bettina Swigger, CEO of the Downtown SLO association, which puts on the event. “We’re really grateful,” Swigger said. “We as the producers of the farmers’ market have the safety of the vendors and marketgoers top of mind.” Recent market attendees may have already seen the vehicle barriers in action, as the city bought 16 of them as part of a pilot program, and installing them at either end of the Thursday market on Higuera Street. Painted bright colors (some have market-themed art, like pictures of strawberries), Swigger said the fixtures blend in nicely. “They’re really cute and on-brand,” she said. The addition of barriers does add some logistical challenges to an already logistically challenging event, Swigger acknowledged. Because all NEWS continued page 6

STAFF WRITER

New Times in San Luis Obispo County is looking for its next staff writer, but we’re not looking for just any article-pushing, sourcewrangling, story-chasing someone. Are you sick of editing or regurgitating press releases day after day? Or maybe it’s those damn list things—you know the ones: “Top 10 hottest places to eat your lunch on a rainy day.” Or maybe it’s just not being able to put the time and reporting into a story that deserves it: the weeks and repeated phone calls that give a story what it needs to ripen into the hard-charging, data-filled narrative it’s dying to be; the time that turns a “meh” story into one that blows a hole in the status quo. Can you see the big picture of what a story means to a community? Is that what drives you? Do you know what it takes to—yes, we know, it’s cliché— make a difference in the lives of the people you cover? Does that sort of thing matter to you? If so, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for: a staff writer who isn’t afraid to take on the tedious, the tenuous, or the talented. That certain someone who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to the communities of San Luis Obispo County. Agricultural, water, and environmental advocacy aren’t the only things that drive this place—although those are pretty juicy beats. There’s more, and we want to hire someone who can drive his or herself to unearth those stories and tell them in a meaningful way. Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you.

County aims to reduce homelessness by 50 percent in five years San Luis Obispo County is trying to stem the ever-growing homelessness problem with a recently released plan.

Costly clarity South County receives a clear picture on new trash rate increases caused by SB 1383 while general confusion persists

lose to a year after the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors exited the Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA), South County finally has definitive rates that reflect how much more expensive organic waste diversion is about to get. After much back-and-forth with the waste hauling service South County Sanitation Services, trash bills for Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, and Grover Beach customers are going to increase by 22.19 percent from June. The Oceano Community Services District (OCSD) faces an increased rate of 21.03 percent. The two highest cost drivers are truck depreciation and Senate Bill 1383, which places new mandates on cities and counties for green waste diversion, including collection and education. Further, the rate change process was delayed from May 1 to June 15—to make up for lost revenue, a 5.12 percent retroactive fee will be charged until Dec. 31, adding up to a roughly 27 percent rise for customers. “Would there be any incentive for the consumer to want to do this? To take the trash, really go to it and get it to the green?” asked OCSD board member Steve Montes at the district’s June 8 meeting to adopt the trash rate.

percent fee for other South County cities. That fee funds community cleanup events and managing illegal dumping and trash on the streets. This franchise fee allows Oceano to have the lowest garbage rates in the county. “Cities don’t do that, but community services districts have to keep everything in separate books and bank accounts. So, we took our garbage franchise money, which we use for town cleanup, and we’re paying the [retroactive] fees back,” OCSD President Karen White told New Times. White added that the mandatory nature of SB 1383 “leaves us with no choice,” and cities are saddled with higher bills. She also said that the rules of SB 1383, and the compulsory separation of waste that comes with it, could be a lot to ask of an individual. “I wish some of the legislation and initiation process coming before voters could be better studied,” she said. “You’re asking the people that are cooking to separate their wet garbage from their recycled garbage and their regular garbage. A lot of people are in a hurry to serve dinner, and I don’t think they have the time or energy or desire to do that.” Matthew Bronson, Grover Beach’s city manager, identified another group that could feel the pressure of SB 1383. “Our residents have been separating waste for a while. But it does take more time, especially for businesses and restaurants —Jeff Clarin, South County that produce more Sanitation Services district manager quantity. It’s an added responsibility,” he said. “We have a goal of mitigating and addressing climate change.

Focus on humans Exploring the hidden potential that lies within downtown SLO

he development of cities in the United States has been for the most part in the hands of engineers, city planners, and architects. Their overriding priorities have been efficiency, speed, risk avoidance, and minimal cost. European urban theory seems often to derive from social objectives, whereas American practice often grows from assumed economic opportunities or imperatives. One factor that has apparently been left out of American urban theory has been the subjective well-being of those residing in our urban centers. It is unfortunate that American engineers, city planners, and architects too often idealize a world literally devoid of people. Sadly the more machine-like the proposals, the greater the reception among developers and design professionals. Ecologically destructive development here in San Luis Obispo has been increasingly practiced and embraced. A most recent example is San Luis Ranch, the high density, multi-family residential development currently being built on prime farmland and involving the removal of nesting habitat for raptors, great blue herons, and songbirds as well as roosting habitat for owls and turkey vultures. Our city fathers have become conditioned to not see disappearing green spaces as an ominous sign given the dire and imminent prospects of climate change. They prefer lesser and “tamable”

amounts of vegetation around them. Despite contradictory findings in studies relating to crime rates and environment, many planners believe that more urban vegetation, especially numerous trees, foster anti-social criminal behavior as that environment provides many hiding spots. It is rather worrying that we have reached a point to perceive trees as risk magnets. On the other hand, visionaries like Jane Jacobs and Christopher Alexander were among those who recognized subjective well-being and human scale as essential parts of the process of city development. Jane Jacobs said, “There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.” Christopher Alexander, in his seminal book A Pattern Language, explains the importance of how a building interacts with the street: “The building with a lively building edge is connected, part of the social fabric, part of the town, part of the lives of all people who live and move around it. … If the edge fails, then the space never becomes lively.” Professor Alexander also maintained that no building should be taller than four stories. “At three or four stories, one can still walk comfortably down to the street, and from a window you can still feel part of the street scene: You can see details in the street— the people, their faces, foliage, shops. From three stories you can yell out, and catch the attention of someone below. Above four stories these connections break down.” Sadly, our City Council recently approved a 75-foot tall building to be located at 1144 Chorro St.—a site that is located within our Downtown Historic

District. A building this tall is in violation of our recently revised Downtown Concept Plan (which recommends threeto four-story buildings), our Historic Preservation Program Guidelines (i.e., maintain consistency in scale) and with our Community Design Guidelines. Human scale is the key to making cities more human-centered, user-friendly, and livable. In the last 50 years, architects and city planners have forgotten what good human scale is. Why, one may ask? Perhaps this is because a few fundamental questions about the crucial role of the user seem to have been left out of many of our engineering, city planning, and architecture school curricula. Strategies for improving subjective, user-oriented wellbeing through urban planning depend on answering the following six questions: 1. How do we enhance conditions for a walkable city? 2. How do we provide easy access to facilities and services? 3. How do we integrate the natural environment into our cities? 4. How do we provide “third places”— accessible, inclusive public spaces and communal spaces? 5. How do we implement noise reduction strategies? 6. How do we develop aesthetically pleasing, human-scaled buildings and public spaces based on residents’ needs and preferences? In the spirit of creating a “lively building edge,” the first floor of some buildings could be lined with open-air stairs and arcades enclosing cafes or sidewalk displays of merchandise. Great streets have an “inside-outside” quality where indoor activity spills out onto the street. Second- or third-floor balconies extending over the sidewalks could be used for more outdoor dining.

Natural resources, which often determine the character and uniqueness of a place, must be preserved and developed sympathetically to provide moments of escape. Such natural resources include views of mountains, glorious sunsets, creeks, lakes, uncommon vegetation, and urban forests. San Luis Obispo however has been systematically blocking mountain views and eliminating street trees with overlarge developments. This includes the new student housing project under construction at the corner of Foothill and Chorro. Once lost, these unique features are extremely difficult to reintroduce. Every opportunity must be explored to encourage our residents including the elderly, the handicapped, and mothers with prams to venture into our downtown. Surveys of all permanent and temporary residents and visitors should guide the redesign of our streets and sidewalks. In order to inject life into the centers of our cities we must get rid of our scrawny and cluttered sidewalks. Sidewalks must be widened in order to accommodate promenading families and friends. Unfortunately, sidewalk widening never appears in San Luis Obispo’s November 2020 Active Transportation Plan. Their so-called “complete streets” proposals include “street dieting,” i.e., involving the elimination of parking in exchange for dedicated bike paths. But there are no plans to give over the city’s right of way to wider sidewalks. Our streets should become greenways or linear parks that can be lined with “placemaking,” wind-buffered and/or noise-buffered mini-parks. These miniparks could accommodate water features, lending libraries, fitness equipment, picnic and game tables, and kids’ play areas.

change, more shade-providing trees must be planted our city. Unique designs could also be introduced to accommodate public art installations, information kiosks, weather-protected transit stops, and lunch wagons located at regular intervals.

Letters Renewable is doable

Nuclear power advocate Ellie Ripley doubts that California’s energy grid has ever managed to meet 100 percent of demand with renewable energy. (“Renewable energy for how long?” June 16). It happened on May 2, 2022. After I cited that fact in my June 2 Rhetoric & Reason column (“Diablo’s long goodbye”), I originally wrote—but New Times cut: “So yes, as it turns out, contrary to the constant drumbeat of Diablo’s last-ditch defenders who reach back to the 1980s to launch vintage attacks against renewable

energy, that is a thing that can be done.” Ms. Ripley’s letter noted that the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow all the time. Absent from this aging argument were words like “energy efficiency,” “energy storage,” and “demand response.” Interested readers can learn the meaning of these terms and why they are important in any discussion of modern day energy production by reading “Three Myths About Renewable Energy and the Grid, Debunked” in the journal of the Yale School of the Environment, which also relates the fact that “diversified renewable portfolios don’t fail as massively, lastingly, or unpredictably as big thermal power stations.” Also worth a read: “A 100 percent renewable grid isn’t just feasible, it’s already happening,” by Joe Romm.

Join Our Team! New Times in San Luis Obispo is looking for its next freelance arts writer, but we’re not looking for just any art-ogling, content-wrangling someone. Can you find the unassuming local artist who’s about to blow a hole in the status quo? Do you know what it means to find the culture that matters to a community—the stuff that gives a population its heartbeat, its soul? That sweet spot where culture, politics, art, and society collide into a massive chaotic hurricane of beautiful expression? If so, then that’s exactly who we’re looking for: an arts writer who can wrestle a story to the ground and fill it with the things that matter to San Luis Obispo County. It’s not all about vineyards, rolling hills, and pounding surf brushed with light, ethereal watercolors (although that’s definitely here). It’s about that human element and where creativity lives. Can you find it? Let us know if you’ve got what it takes. We dare you. Send résumé and clips to Camillia Lanham at clanham@newtimesslo.com. New Times is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

Opinion

The Shredder

Hanging chads redux?

he good news is the vote count continues in the SLO County election. The bad news is the vote count continues in the SLO County election. I guess it’s one of those “best of times; worst of times” deals. As of June 17, the percentage of registered voters who bothered to vote was up to 35 percent, but there were still 24,000 or so ballots to count, which might get us up to a disrespectable 48 percent turnout. Ah, American voting apathy. Ain’t we grand? So what’s taking so long? Mail-in ballots for starters. Only 2,366 SLO County citizens actually went to a polling station and filled out a ballot on-site. Apparently, most conservatives accept mail-in voting as legit, eh? Some of you waited until Election Day to drop off your mail-in ballot. Each mail-in has the signature confirmed before opening. Each ballot is two doublesided-sheets-long, which needs to be fed into the evil, untrustworthy, and easily hackable Dominion voting machine that the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency recently reiterated has never been exploited even in 2020, and some of you jokers used a black Sharpie to fill in the bubble, which bled through to the other side and now requires a double check. Sigh. Then there’s California’s 1 Percent Manual Tally rule, which “is the public process of manually tallying votes in

1 percent of the precincts, selected at random by the elections officials, and in one precinct for each race not included in the randomly selected precincts. This procedure is conducted during the official canvass to verify the accuracy of the automated count.” Depending on your faith in government, this all makes perfect reassuring sense. It means county Clerk-Recorder Elaina Cano is thorough. On the other hand, if you have a tinfoil hat under your red MAGA hat, you no doubt see conspiracy afoot. Take, for instance, a public commenter named Nancy, who had a few nits to pick at the June 21 SLO County Board of Supervisors meeting. She’s worked at polling places in Kern County and here, and like all poll workers, she was required to take a class beforehand. But wait a cotton-picking minute! The required class—this time—was taught by Cano, who’s on the ballot to retain her position! “She had a captive audience for about two and a half hours of several dozen people, and it did not seem right,” Nancy huffed. Hm. Well, she is the clerk-recorder. Would you have been happier if it was taught by a subordinate? Was she explaining the responsibilities of

Our friendly neighborhood overseeing a polling precinct or did she gerrymandering mapmaker Richard give a long speech on why she should be Patten also got up to offer his two cents: elected? Also, is tinfoil itchy? “I’ve been observing the 1 percent tally of “It was a captive audience, definitely,” the batches counted in our county … by my Nancy reiterated. Really? You literally couldn’t get up and calculations, we’re not doing a 1 percent tally. We’re doing a half a percent tally.” leave? Were you cuffed? Chained? ZipUm, Richard, not all the votes have tied? Oh wait! As you noted, to be a poll been counted yet. I don’t want to sound worker, you’re “required” to take a class, reasonable or explain how math works, and you wanted to be a poll worker more but how about we all wait until Cano has than you wanted register your outrage finished her count and certified the local at the impropriety of the clerk-recorder— election before we argue it’s inaccurate?

Was it because you were positive “I’m sure you’re all aware the capability something shady was going to happen? of the Dominion machine has the ability “I heard on the radio yesterday that of fractionalizing whole number ballots Monterey County is twice as big as and distributing the decimal point to SLO County and had their votes counted whichever candidate has requested it,” in four days,” Nancy said, positively Patten continued. “That has to stop.” sure that she was having a Perry Mason Please raise your hand if you’re a moment that proved Cano is up to no candidate who requested the distribution good. “Most believe this is a planned of the decimal point of the fractionalized strategy, and it is not an accident.” whole number ballot … or if you have “Most” believe?

The Great American Melodrama presents a Western spoof, Butch Cassidy and the Sunburnt Kid

Thursday, June 23, marks the premiere of the Great American Melodrama’s latest production, Butch Cassidy and the Sunburnt Kid, which is described in press materials as “a gut-busting parody filled with cowboys, jokes, and yokel locals.” Performances of the show are scheduled to run at the Oceano venue through Saturday, Aug. 6. The parody’s plot follows protagonists Butch and Sundance, who find themselves hiding out in Oceano during their travels. The pair encounter several wacky characters during their stay, including Dr. Quien, Medicine Woman, and one of Butch’s former rivals, Deadeye Dawson. Each performance of Butch Cassidy and the Sunburnt Kid is followed by the Melodrama’s newest iteration of its vaudeville revue, Zoo Life, which offers attendees “a behind-the-scenes look” at some animal residents of a local zoo. Tickets to Butch Cassidy and the Sunburnt Kid are available at the door or online in advance at americanmelodrama.com. Prices start at $30. Discounts are available for seniors, students, and children. Performances of the show will be held Wednesday through Friday at 7 p.m. each evening, every Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m., and every Sunday at 6 p.m. The Great American Melodrama’s famous snack bar opens 30 minutes prior to showtime, and reopens for two intermissions during each performance.

Local author Lida Sideris releases fifth mystery novel, Gambling with Murder

hile working full time as a lawyer, Lida Sideris relied on nights, weekends, and scattered pockets of spare time—usually in the form of 5 a.m. writing sessions—to finish her first novel. Sideris released the passion project, Murder and Other Unnatural Disasters, in 2015. The book introduced readers to an adventurous protagonist, Corrie Locke, who, like Sideris, works as a lawyer by day. But Locke doesn’t spend her evenings writing prose. She moonlights as a private investigator. “Corrie was entirely me in the first draft. I just kind of took a blueprint of myself and started writing—but it was so incredibly boring,” Sideris said. “So I had to go back and I had to rewrite it so she wasn’t me. I made her unpredictable. I made her have skills that I would never have, or wish I had.” Over the span of the next seven years, Sideris wrote four more books that follow Locke’s tenacious heroics. Gambling with Murder, Sideris’ newest entry in her ongoing mystery series, was released at the end of March. While many aspects of Locke’s character remain loosely based on Sideris’ own traits, the Santa Ynez author gave her plucky heroine a very particular set of skills—as Liam Neeson’s Taken character might call it—to make her the ultimate sleuth. “She’s smart, she’s accomplished, she’s fearless. There’s pretty much nothing she can’t do when it comes to catching a criminal or case cracking,” said Sideris, who often appreciates the escapism of writing fiction. “And that was a lot of fun for me because on the page you can do that stuff, and no one’s going to get hurt. It’s a lot better than me going out there and attempting to do anything like that.” One of the skills Sideris gave Locke was

Split Screen IMAGE COURTESY OF PIXAR

The great beyond

uzz Lightyear (voiced by Chris Evans), a tenacious space ranger, teams up with a ragtag team of rookies to defeat a vicious army of robots, led by the mysterious Zurg (voiced by James Brolin). (100 min.) Editor’s note: Staff Writer Bulbul Rajagopal and Calendar Editor Caleb Wiseblood filled in for regular reviewers Glen and Anna Starkey.

Caleb The first frame of Lightyear casually informs the audience that we’re about to watch a movie within a movie. The Buzz Lightyear we all know from Toy Story is a Tim Allen-voiced action figure based on the hero of a 1995 outer space spectacle—the one we’re about to experience for ourselves, 27 years after its fictional release date. But Lightyear doesn’t always feel like a product of the ’90s, although it’s littered with references to the era. My favorite nod is a shot of Buzz trying to fix a Nintendoesque cartridge by blowing on it, which millennials will remember works every time. But the film’s plot reminded me more of 2014’s Interstellar than any scifi movie I grew up watching. Lightyear opens with its titular space ranger and a fleet of his peers stranded on a strange planet. The crew’s main ship is severely damaged, and it needs an experimental hyperspace fuel in order to operate again. Buzz tasks himself with attempting to reach hyperspace speed with a smaller rocket several times, but at a cost. Each time Buzz returns from a failed attempt, all of his peers have aged about four years, while he doesn’t age at all. Buzz is determined to continue the mission though, and gradually watches as his friends and neighbors grow decades older than him, with some heartbreaking results. If that sounds heavy for a Pixar movie, just remember how the opening 10 minutes of both Finding Nemo and Up made you feel. Bulbul I didn’t have high hopes for this movie at all. I went in wondering who this movie was made for. The Toy Story movies perfectly aligned with my growing-up years, and I thought

Evans was a great choice for this iteration of the iconic astronaut. Having said that, I can’t imagine another actor trying to fill Tom Hanks’ shoes—or should I say, boots—if Pixar decided to give Woody the Lightyear treatment. And why stop there? Lightyear could open the floodgates for an entire Toy Story cinematic universe. I would love to see Mr. Potato Head, Bo Peep, Rex, and Slink get their own stand-alone flicks someday. Until then, I’ll have to make A DIFFERENT KIND OF BUZZ Chris Evans voices do with Buzz’s solo outing, the iconic space ranger, Buzz Lightyear, in Pixar’s which I’m not complaining latest animated adventure, Lightyear. about. Like many Pixar films (I can’t vouch for the few I’ve missed over the years), Lightyear is full of LIGHTYEAR humor, heart, and childlike wonderment What’s it rated? PG but never feels like it was only made What’s it worth, Bulbul? Full price with kids in mind. If I was stranded What’s it worth, Caleb?

There’s not one but two “Maverick” Mitchell could very well be post-credits scenes. Lightyear’s premise two sides of the same coin. The ’80s and is fresh. It’s pitched as the movie that ’90s are back—what a great time to go to launched little Andy’s (from the Toy Story the movies again. Evans fits as the new series) love for the space ranger and his voice of Buzz—he does have experience toy counterpart. I can totally see why. I playing a do-gooder Marvel crusader, think every kid who enjoyed Toy Story wanted to be Andy in a way because he after all. We also get to see Buzz paired had talking toys. By watching Lightyear, with a robotic cat (voiced by Peter Sohn), you kinda get to be Andy for a bit because and a cobbled-together team of misfits you get to imagine what he must have voiced by Taika Waititi, Keke Palmer, and Dale Soules.

think most fans of The Princess Bride will immediately recognize Cary Elwes’ distinct voice at the start of The Cat Returns. Elwes plays the Baron, a gentlemanly, humanized cat who often sports a top hat, suit, and bowtie. As the film’s title suggests, The Cat Returns is not the Baron’s first rodeo in the land of Studio Ghibli—the brand responsible for Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and countless other classics.

During his first adventure in Whisper of the Heart, the Baron exists purely within the imagination of the film’s human protagonist. But The Cat Returns provides the Baron with a fully realized world of his own, full of enchantment and other anthropomorphic felines, one of whom is brought to life by the deliciously devilish Tim Curry. In celebration of its 20th anniversary, The Cat Returns is briefly screening in select theaters across the country. It’s also currently available on HBO Max. (90 min) —Caleb

fter The Mandalorian bowled over viewers, Disney seems to have found comfortable success with a set formula: last-of-his-kind aging warrior is forced to journey with a precocious child and learns lessons along the way. This trope is at the center of limited series ObiWan Kenobi too, and it works wonderfully. Set 10 years after Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi struggles with the loss of his apprentice Anakin Skywalker who has become the ruthless Darth Vader. While Kenobi stakes out the planet Tattooine to watch over Luke Skywalker, he is assigned to rescue Anakin’s daughter, Leia, after Jedi hunters kidnap her. It’s easy to binge and a blast to watch, especially with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their roles as Kenobi and Vader, respectively. The

Watch out for Benny Safdie (co-director of Uncut Gems ), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist), and a Zach Braff voiceover, among others. Vivien Lyra Blair delivers a charming punch as little Leia Skywalker. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a six-episode limited series that has quickly won fans’ approval, with many wondering if it’ll return for a second season. There are no plans for more yet, unfortunately, but it’s a welcome reprieve from the blandness that was The Book of Boba Fett! (six 36to 53-min. episodes) Δ —Bulbul

Nigerian musician Femi Kuti and his band play SLO Brew Rock

frobeat, jazz, and funk artist Femi Kuti plays SLO Brew Rock this week, bringing with him an amazing international résumé. The saxophonist, singer, trumpet player, and keyboardist is the son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti and the grandson of women’s rights activist Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti. Born in London but raised in Lagos, Nigeria, young Femi began his musical career as a teenager in 1978 when he joined his father’s band Egypt 80. In 1986, he broke off on his own to form Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, who’ll play this Wednesday, June 29 (8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $28 at slobrewrock.com). “My father was so huge,” Femi explained in press materials. “I taught myself everything I knew, so I was learning on the job, and you are not allowed to make mistakes. Being in front of such an icon, it can be intimidating.” In 2001, the Nigerian powerhouse joined with Common, Mos Def, and Jaguar Wright to collaborate on the album Fight to Win. He’s caught flak for criticizing Nigeria in songs such as “Sorry Sorry,” “What Will Tomorrow Bring,” and “97.” Like his famous father, Femi has a knack for activism. His most recent album is 2021’s Stop the Hate. Also this week at SLO Brew Rock, check out Kendall Street Company and opener Mofunk on Friday, June 24 (7 p.m.; all ages; free).

would not reunite Oingo Boingo; that’s why DMP exists. Though some former Boingo members do perform as Boingo Dance Party Band on occasion, Oingo Boingo is—unfortunately—no more. No band lives forever. DMP, however, is dedicated to re-creating the Oingo Boingo experience. We are not just a band paying tribute to the music of Danny Elfman and the boys of OB. We work hard to deliver that music true-as-possible to its original sound with concerts that bring Boingo concert veterans back to the good old days, and show the newbies what’s what.” It’s true! They’re not Oingo Boingo, but they’re a lot of fun and have the same manic energy.

pressed a button, and slid their glass under the dispenser. Seconds later, ruby red wine poured out of the WineStation, much to everyone’s amusement on June 17. “It puts the control and power of the wine tasting experience in the hands of the consumer. We have people that want to come in and send an email after work and have a glass of wine and no one’s going to bug you, all the way up to Google executives that want to know every clone that’s in the pinot and have an elevated experience,” Region co-founder Johan Eide said. “We can hit both of those, which Choose your own is really unique Region Wine Bar invites locals to a self-guided tasting experience of wine from in a wine bar.

t’s hard for sunshine not to stream into Region Wine Bar’s downtown San Luis Obispo space. A large archway welcomes the light along with visitors eager to sip local wines. But while the sunbeams fall on the wine bar’s jadetoned counters and plush cream-colored sofas, all eyes land on the row of sleek wine coolers with four dispenser nozzles sprouting out of each of them. One by one, customers grabbed a wine glass from the wall, inserted a white card bearing the letter ‘R’ into the cooler,

POURS APLENTY Early types of wine selfserve stations first appeared in Europe, but those machines faced hygiene complaints. Johan Eide of Region SLO credited Napa Technology, which created WineStations, with revamping wine dispensers.

SPACE OUT Downtown SLO’s Region Wine Bar has a spacious open-plan design where customers can relax and sip indoors or spill out onto the patio.

Region debuted in June 2020 when Eide and his co-founder, Kerry Thedorf, opened the first bar in Sebastopol, Sonoma County. After riding through the pandemic and forest fires, the duo opened the Downtown SLO counterpart in April 2022. Eide described Region as a bridge that connects wine makers and drinkers—and its brand name stems from the company being “a hub to a region through wine.” Region SLO collaborated with 25 wineries that all promote it as their go-to tasting room because most of them are small production vintners that don’t have their own tasting rooms. Each week, one of them becomes Region’s featured winery of the week and receives full creative liberty on how to show off their wines. Eide said that this could look like hosting pickup parties and pairing events or offering a featured wine flight on the menu. On June 17, Region was spotlighting Paso Roblesbased dilécta winery and recommended the 2019 Phoenix—a sweet and bubbly blanc de noir, a perfect pairing with the sunny patio. Wineries like dilécta showcase the diversity of SLO County’s myriad American Viticulture Areas (AVA), Eide said. He then pointed to an earth-toned

contemporary map of SLO County’s AVAs that hangs on the wine bar’s wall. “A county or wine-growing region is typically broken into AVAs. Essentially, the climate or terrain is so different that it’s going to produce a very distinct wine,” Eide added. “We’re technically in the SLO Coast, which just got approved this year [as an AVA], which is a big milestone for SLO. Just going from here, up the grade to Atascadero, Santa Margarita, Creston, Highlands District … it’s night and day. There is a nocturnal 20 degree difference every night.” Eide then moved his hand to the right, gesturing toward the distinctive selfserving stations, the first iterations of which appeared in bars in Europe. At Region, customers get a card with an open line of credit that they swipe to get served. The WineStations then dole out 1-ounce tasters, half glass measures of 2.5 ounces, and full 5-ounce pours. Cost ranges from $2.50 to $15, depending on the bottle and the pour size. Soon, the machines will also bear NFC tags so that customers can easily scan the code with their phones and learn about the wineries.

LEGAL NOTICES principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 457,376.26. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of 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 2016-01804CA. 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. 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 (866)960-8299, or visit this internet

LEGAL NOTICES PAGE 2: STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining order are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or you own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during a marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. 1.The name and address of the court are (el nombre y dirección de la corte son): San Bernadino County Superior Court Barstow District 235 East Mountain View Street Barstow, CA 92311 2.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors (Board of Supervisors) will hold a public hearing to consider adopting a resolution adopting the updated Paso Robles Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (Updated GSP) and finding that the project is exempt from Section 21000 et seq. of the California Public Resources Code (CEQA) pursuant to Water Code Section 10728.6. Background In 2017, the Board of Supervisors formed the Paso Basin – County of San Luis Obispo Groundwater Sustainability Agency (County GSA) to comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The City of Paso Robles, the Shandon-San Juan Water District, and San Miguel Community Services District also formed groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) within their jurisdiction. The agencies (together, Paso Basin GSAs), whose service areas collectively cover the entire Paso Basin, entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), establishing the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee (Committee) for the purpose of developing a single groundwater sustainability plan (GSP) to be considered for adoption by each Paso Basin GSA and subsequently submitted to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) by the SGMA deadline of January 31, 2020 and for the purpose of continued coordination during the period of GSP adoption and DWR approval. Under the framework of the MOA, the Paso Basin GSAs engaged the public and coordinated to jointly develop the GSP which was recommended by the Committee for adoption by each of the Paso Basin GSAs. The Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and adopted Resolution 2019-357 adopting the GSP on December 17, 2019 and authorized the County Director of Public Works, or designee, as the Plan Manager to submit the GSP to DWR. The GSP was submitted to DWR on January 30, 2020. On January 21, 2022, DWR announced that the GSP had received an incomplete determination under the provisions of SGMA and the Final GSP Emergency Regulations. The determination started a 180-day window to address DWR’s comments. DWR found two areas of deficiency in the GSP: (1) the GSP did not include an adequate assessment of potential impacts to domestic wells associated with chronic lowering of groundwater levels, and (2) the GSP did not include an adequate assessment of the potential for depletion of interconnected surface waters. The Paso Basin GSAs initiated communications with DWR staff immediately after receipt of the initial notification and retained the services of a consultant to provide technical assistance in addressing the deficiencies. The work in addressing the deficiencies was completed and the GSP has been updated. The Committee recommended the Updated GSP for adoption by each of the Paso Basin GSAs at its April 27, 2022 meeting consistent with the terms of the MOA, and the Updated GSP sections were made available at the following link: https://www.slocounty.ca.gov/Departments/ P u b l i c - Wo r k s / C o m m i t t e e s - P r o g r a m s / S u s t a i n a b l e Groundwater-Management-Act-(SGMA)/Paso-RoblesGroundwater-Basin/Meeting-Calendar/2022/Paso-BasinCooperative-Committee-(3).aspx Should the Board of Supervisors decide to adopt the resolution, such action would allow the County to submit the Updated GSP and continue coordinating with the Paso Basin GSAs on GSP implementation, maintaining compliance with SGMA requirements.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Tell a story that imagines what you will be like a year from now. Newsletter.freewillastrology.com ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): Aries actor Marilu Henner has an unusual condition: hyperthymesia. She can remember in detail voluminous amounts of past events. For instance, she vividly recalls being at the Superdome in New Orleans on Sept. 15, 1978, where she and her actor friends watched a boxing match between Leon Spinks and Muhammad Ali. You probably don’t have hyperthymesia, Aries, but I invite you to approximate that state. Now is an excellent time to engage in a leisurely review of your life story, beginning with your earliest memories. Why? It will strengthen your foundation, nurture your roots, and bolster your stability.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran lexicographer Daniel Webster (17581843) worked hard to create his dictionary, and it became highly influential in American culture. He spent over 26 years perfecting it. To make sure he could properly analyze the etymologies, he learned 28 languages. He wrote definitions for 70,000 words, including 12,000 that had never been included in a published dictionary. I trust you are well underway with your own Webster-like project, Libra. This entire year is an excellent time to devote yourself with exacting diligence to a monumental labor of love. If you haven’t started it yet, launch now. If it’s already in motion, kick it into a higher gear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Poet Elizabeth Bishop noted that many of us are “addicted to the gigantic.” We live in a “mostly huge and roaring, glaring world.” As a counterbalance, she wished for “small works of art, short poems, short pieces of music, intimate, low-voiced, and delicate things.” That’s the spirit I recommend to you in the coming weeks, Taurus. You will be best served by consorting with subtle, unostentatious, elegant influences. Enjoy graceful details and quiet wonders and understated truths.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the coming weeks, you will need even more human touch than usual. Your mental, physical, and spiritual health require you to have your skin in contact with people who care for you and are eager to feel their skin against yours. A Tumblr blogger named Friend-Suggestion sets the tone for the mood I hope you cultivate. They write, “I love! human contact! with! my friends! So put your leg over mine! Let our knees touch! Hold my hand! Make excuses to feel my arm by drawing pictures on my skin! Stand close to me! Lean into my space! Slow dance super close to me! Hold my face in your hands or kick my foot to get my attention! Put your arm around me when we’re standing or sitting around! Hug me from behind at random times!”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author John Banville wrote what might serve as a manifesto for some of us Crabs: “To be concealed, protected, guarded: that is all I have ever truly wanted. To burrow down into a place of womby warmth and cower there, hidden from the sky’s indifferent gaze and the harsh air’s damagings. The past is such a retreat for me. I go there eagerly, shaking off the cold present and the colder future.” If you are a Crab who feels a kinship with Banville’s approach, I ask you to refrain from indulging in it during the coming months. You’re in a phase of your long-term astrological cycle when your destiny is calling you to be bolder and brighter than usual, more visible and influential, louder and stronger.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “We wish to make rage into a fire that cooks things rather than a fire of conflagration,” writes author Clarissa Pinkola Estés. That’s good advice for you right now. Your anger can serve you, but only if you use it to gain clarity—not if you allow it to control or immobilize you. So here’s my counsel: Regard your wrath as a fertilizing fuel that helps deepen your understanding of what you’re angry about—and shows you how to engage in constructive actions that will liberate you from what is making you angry.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Jeanette Winterson was asked, “Do you fall in love often?” She replied, “Yes, often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.” Even if you’re not usually as prone to infatuation and enchantment as Winterson, you could have many experiences like hers in the coming months. Is that a state you would enjoy? I encourage you to welcome it. Your capacity to be fascinated and captivated will be at a peak. Your inclination to trust your attractions will be extra high. Sounds fun!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Shouldn’t the distance between impossible and improbable be widened?” asks poet Luke Johnson. I agree that it should, and I nominate you to do the job. In my astrological view, you now have the power to make progress in accomplishing goals that some people may regard as unlikely, fantastical, and absurdly challenging. (Don’t listen to them!) I’m not necessarily saying you will always succeed in wrangling the remote possibilities into practical realities. But you might. And even if you’re only partially victorious, you will learn key lessons that bolster your abilities to harness future amazements.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian novelist George Eliot wrote, “It is very hard to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings—much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.” I believe you will be exempt from this rule during the next seven weeks. You will be able to speak with lucid candor about your feelings— maybe more so than you’ve been able to in a long time. And that will serve you well as you take advantage of the opportunity that life is offering you: to deepen, clarify, and refine your intimate relationships.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author bell hooks (who didn’t capitalize her name) expressed advice I recommend for you. She said, “Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” As you enter a phase of potential renewal for your close relationships, you’ll be wise to deepen your commitment to self-sufficiency and self-care. You might be amazed at how profoundly that enriches intimacy. Here are two more helpful gems from bell hooks: “You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself” and “Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In April 2005, a 64-year-old Korean woman named Cha Sa-soon made her first attempt to get her driver’s license. She failed. In fairness to her, the written test wasn’t easy. It required an understanding of car maintenance. After that initial flop, she returned to take the test five days a week for three years—and was always unsuccessful. She persevered, however. Five years later, she passed the test and received her license. It was her 960th try. Let’s make her your role model for the foreseeable future. I doubt you’ll have to persist as long as she did, but you’ll be wise to cultivate maximum doggedness and diligence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the eighth century, Chinese poet Du Fu gave a batch of freshly written poems to his friend and colleague, the poet Li Bai. “Thank you for letting me read your new poems,” Li Bai later wrote to Du Fu. “It was like being alive twice.” I foresee you enjoying a comparable grace period in the coming weeks, Pisces: a time when your joie de vivre could be double its usual intensity. How should you respond to this gift from the Fates? Get twice as much work done? Start work on a future masterpiece? Become a beacon of inspiration to everyone you encounter? Sure, if that’s what you want to do. And you could also simply enjoy every detail of your daily rhythm with supreme, sublime delight. ∆
