Some are just live streaming while others are used to keep traffic flowing. And while some believe this constant surveillance FOUR EYES IN THE SKY is serving a greater purpose, others see it as The SLO Police another step away from freedom.

Arroyo Grande City Council to consider 60 percent pay increase
I
f you could give yourself a 60 percent raise, would you do it? That’s the “awkward” question the Arroyo Grande City Council is working to answer, and so far, most members don’t seem too sure about their stances on the topic. City Council analyzed increasing compensation for its members and mayor at a meeting on Nov. 12 after Mayor Caren Ray Russom requested that the issue be considered for the first time since 2008. Despite community opposition to the raise and a spirited debate between council members, City Council voted 3-2 to direct staff to create an ordinance that would raise compensation for its members, effective Dec. 1, 2020. “I want to encourage other people to run who aren’t retired,” Councilmember Keith Storton said at the meeting, adding that increasing pay for City Council members could encourage a more diverse group of candidates. Most of Arroyo Grande’s past council members have been “older white guys,” Storton said, because that’s the group that can afford to serve. Arroyo Grande’s City Council members and mayor make $405 a month, making it the lowest paid council in San Luis Obispo County. The next lowest is Morro Bay, according to a city staff report, where council members make $500 a month and the mayor gets $700, and SLO pays the highest, with $1,224 a month for its council members and $1,750 a month for its mayor. Still, most community members who spoke at the meeting weren’t swayed by the numbers. Patty Welsh said that while she thinks Arroyo Grande’s City Council members do deserve

After a citizens group petitioned Morro Bay’s decision to purchase the site of the city’s future water reclamation facility, the City Council voted to repeal its decision at a Nov. 12 council meeting. The petition, filed by Citizens for Affordable Living in October, has 894 verified signatures out of the 1,114 collected—only 748 were needed for the city to consider axing its adopted ordinance. City Council needed to decide whether to repeal the ordinance that would allow the city to purchase the site at South Bay Boulevard or allow ratepayers to vote on the ordinance in a special election next year. The council voted 4-1 to repeal the ordinance, bypassing the need to hold a special election. “I am not going to be bullied into spending any more ratepayer money on a special election by people who do not consistently state what they want, people who are trying to use this as a weapon to tear down the expressed will of the majority of Morro Bay voters,” Councilmember Robert Davis said. Councilmember Jeff Heller, who voted against the repeal, said the real issue isn’t the project but a clear divide between the City Council and some Morro Bay residents. “It’s this issue of us against them. I can tell you as one of them that we have not, in spite of that long list of things that supposedly have been done to accommodate our comments, we

SLO City Council approves new SLO Rep Theatre Long-discussed plans to build a new performing arts center and city parking garage on the same downtown property in San Luis Obispo earned the SLO City Council’s final approval on Nov. 12. The 3-0 vote paves the way for construction to start on the joint project, a public-private partnership between the city and the SLO Repertory Theatre on the corner of Monterey/ Palm and Nipomo streets. Councilmembers Aaron Gomez and Andy Pease recused themselves from the vote due to their personal businesses’ proximity to the site. SLO Rep is currently raising funds for the $9.5 million new theater, a 23,344-square-foot facility envisioned to hold two performance spaces and a rehearsal space, a lobby, balcony and roof deck, and administrative offices. “The project before you tonight is the result of eight years of planning and partnership with the city,” Kevin Harris, managing artistic director for SLO Rep, told City Council members. “I consider this a thrilling opportunity not only for theater lovers, but for those who have supported our organization for decades and those who enjoy the diverse artistic life of the city.”
Harris detailed SLO Rep’s growth over the past eight years, transitioning from a community theater to professional theater and roughly NEWS continued page 6

doubling its annual budget and number of season subscribers over that time. He said the new theater is the next step in the nonprofit’s evolution. Once completed in roughly four years, he expects it to host 45,000 to 50,000 people per year. “We are ready to become the only destination regional theater in the county,” Harris said. Simultaneously, the council’s Nov. 12 vote allows the city to begin work on its new parking garage just north of the proposed theater, at the intersection of Palm and Nipomo streets. The 50-foot, five-level garage will provide 404 parking spaces. During their deliberations, SLO council members said they received hundreds of emails from community members about the projects. “The amount of people that responded with a desire for the SLO Rep [theater] and the parking garage was huge,” said Councilmember Erica Stewart. One community concern about the projects is the loss of a historic adobe house, the Heyd Adobe, at 614 Monterey St., which would be demolished during construction. The council declined a request to allocate funds to relocate the house, but set aside $100,000 to assist any private group that wants to raise money for the cause. —Peter Johnson
Rep. Carbajal holds fundraising lead over Caldwell
With a year to go in the 2020 election, 24th District Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) is off to a big financial head start against his Republican challenger, radio host and political commentator Andy Caldwell. As of a Sept. 30 campaign finance filing deadline, the second term congressman and former Santa Barbara County supervisor had amassed $983,220 for his re-election campaign—compared to Caldwell’s $67,303. Caldwell announced his candidacy in early August, which may partially explain the huge gap. Yet Caldwell’s Sept. 30 finance report falls well short of what his 2018 Republican counterpart, Justin Fareed, raised during the equivalent time period in his campaign. Between August and October of 2017, Fareed hauled in about $217,000. Fareed then went on to lose to Carbajal by 17 percentage points the following November. In response to questions about the campaigns’ latest filings, Caldwell
VIEWER DISCRETION campaign advisor Tab Berg told New Times that Caldwell’s fundraising has picked up significantly since the beginning of October. Caldwell is now up to more than $250,000 in contributions, according to Berg. “Support for Andy has been phenomenal— fundraising has accelerated,” Berg said. “We’re building a strong grassroots campaign to expand Andy’s existing name ID—but we also fully expect to have the funds needed to get our message to voters.” Berg acknowledged that Caldwell is not likely to win the fundraising battle against Carbajal come Election Day. “Andy isn’t running to be the best fundraiser,” he said. “We can’t match Salud’s fundraising prowess any more than Salud can compete with Andy on the issues.” Carbajal’s largest donations, of $5,000, have come from political action committees, mostly representing labor unions. Caldwell had not received a $5,000 donation as of Sept. 30. During the August to Sept. 30 time period, Caldwell raised $67,303 while Carbajal raised about $382,000, according to campaign finance filings. In the last few election cycles, the 24th District race has drawn millions of dollars to support both the Democratic and Republican candidates. In 2016—an election with no incumbent—Carbajal raised $3.2 million in his winning bid, which garnered him 53.4 percent of the vote, while Fareed raised $2.4 million and received 46.6 percent of the vote. In 2018, incumbent Carbajal sailed to victory with a $2.8 million war chest and 58.6 percent of the vote, while Fareed saw his support taper to $1.5 million and 41.4 percent of the vote. Carbajal and Caldwell’s next deadline to file campaign finance reports is Jan. 31, 2020. —Peter Johnson
Local support for DACA remains strong
The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments against the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program on Nov. 12, and while no decision has been made, the court indicated it might allow the current administration to end it. In the wake of the hearing, local higher educational institutions continue to support the DACA community. Cal Poly Dream Center Coordinator Katherine Zevallos Pastor said in an emailed statement to New Times that the center acknowledges the anxiety, stress, and worry the local undocumented community is experiencing during these times. “We reiterate our commitment to all
undocumented students, those with or without DACA, and remind them that they belong at Cal Poly,” Pastor said. “We encourage all allies to recognize the additional personal challenges and stress that can manifest for undocumented individuals during this time, and we want our campus community to know that our Dream Center is a resource for those who need support.” The CSU board of trustees and the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, made up of American college and university leaders, joined more than 165 colleges and universities throughout the country in signing an amicus brief in the case before the Supreme Court. Cal Poly and Cuesta College are both members of the Presidents’ Alliance. The “friend-of-the-court” brief filed on Oct. 4 by Perkins Coie LLP, which has an office in Washington, D.C., stated the positive effects DACA had on college campuses as well as testimonials from current and past DACA students. “They have worked and studied in American schools; have prepared and trained for all manner of careers; and have strived to innovate, achieve, and serve their communities,” the brief states. The Central Coast Coalition for Undocumented Student Success sent out a call for action urging Central Coast colleges, universities, and K-12 administrators to formally issue a public statement reaffirming their support of DACA, continue to assist eligible program recipients to renew their DACA, and identify funding sources to assist with renewal fees. “In the event that DACA is terminated, we urge all Central Coast colleges, universities, and K-12 leadership to rapidly create formal action plans to ensure affected students are able to continue their education without interruption, and specifically address the financial and mental health needs and impacts caused by DACA termination,” coalition officials stated. —Karen Garcia
SLO County resident sues Juul A San Luis Obispo County resident is suing Juul for what he claims is the e-cigarette manufacturer’s failure to

adequately warn consumers that its products could cause harmful health effects. On Nov. 7, Nick Limpangug filed a complaint in SLO County Superior Court against Juul Labs Inc. and several of its employees, demanding a jury trial and accusing the company of negligence, fraudulent misrepresentation, breaches of implied and express warranty, and deceit by concealment, among other charges. In the complaint, Limpangug’s lawyers argue that while there’s clear evidence of the potentially harmful health effects caused by both long- and short-term use of Juul’s e-cigarettes, the company has consistently promoted its products to young adults and teens as a trendy and safer alternative to traditional tobacco products. “Since the science has developed, we have found that Juul is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, delivering as much or more nicotine and harmful chemicals as bigger, more conspicuous e-cigarettes,” the complaint reads. “What has been marketed and sold as a fun, harmless, and trendy pastime is anything but that.” The complaint also says that Limpangug began using Juul as a young adult and has sustained and continues to suffer “severe personal injuries” because of Juul, including medical expenses, physical pain, mental anguish, diminished enjoyment of life, and loss of earnings. Although the complaint doesn’t specify what medical ailments Limpangug is facing, it does say he will likely struggle with continued medical problems. Limpangug is seeking past, future, and punitive damages, according to the complaint, and fiscal coverage for medical expenses, loss of earnings, attorney’s fees, and the cost of the suit. A case management conference is scheduled for March 11, 2020, at 9 a.m. Juul Labs and counsel for Limpangug were unavailable for comment before press time. Δ —Kasey Bubnash

Accused of malpractice Local medical and cosmetic doctor is accused of gross negligence but claims a former employee is making false allegations
S
tylish white chairs and a self-serving water station furnish the front waiting room of the Revive MD Medical Group facility. In the corner of the room, Dr. Laleh Shaban makes an appearance in a large colorful photo. In the photo, she’s sitting on stage at an Entrepreneurship Club of Harvard Business School event, pointing at the crowd and smiling. “I’ve worked for a number of doctors, wonderful doctors, but I can say that Shaban is personally invested in her patients in a way that I don’t usually see in medicine,” Ali Wenzl, Revive’s practice administrator says. Wenzl is giving New Times a tour of the practice that promotes whole-body wellness through metabolic medicine as well as offering cosmetic services. According to the practice’s website, the doctor is triple-board certified in internal medicine, geriatrics, and functional medicine. Wenzl says that Shaban maintained a concierge practice for primary care before adding cosmetic services. Revive now offers IV therapy, aesthetic services (including truSculpt 3, laser enhancements, platelet rich plasma, facials, peels, skin care treatments, and dermal fillers), weight management, advanced prevention screenings, and O-shot treatment. But Shaban recently found herself at the center of a complaint the California Attorney General’s Office filed with the Medical Board of California on Aug. 2. The complaint states that Shaban is under indictment for gross negligence regarding the treatment of her patients, citing five patients who received treatments between 2016 and 2018 and were interviewed by the Department of Consumer Affairs. The document accuses Shaban of failing to obtain informed consent from patients, failing to accurately and adequately document and maintain patient history, failing to discuss the
risks of treatment, and allowing nonlicensed “health coaches” to administer treatments. One of the patients in question sought Botox treatment in Morro Bay at a former Revive MD Medical Group center location, but was recommended to receive a different procedure instead, the document states. The accusation claims that the patient was never advised of its possible side effects and didn’t complete a written form for consent of treatment. According to the complaint, another patient, a 52-year-old member of the practice’s Patient Access Program— which provides patients with a range of yearly services, as well as same-day appointments and discounts on some services, such as weight loss programs— went to Revive for a Shaban-recommended “brain-mapping” treatment, also called quantitative electroencephalography. The technical procedure, the Attorney General’s Office claims, was performed by a non-licensed individual with the title “health coach,” and the procedure, who performed it, and the results weren’t recorded in the patient’s medical records. When she underwent the procedure, the patient alleges that she asked the health coach for the ingredients of the gel that was used on her head, but the health coach did not know. According to the document, Revive call logs show that the patient called the practice in the weeks following the procedure to report nerve damage, which the patient believed were symptoms of the gel used on her head. For the three other patients included in the attorney general’s complaint, Shaban is accused of failing to document adequate patient histories. The complaint also states that Shaban’s practice failed to comply with prescription documentation guidelines for two of the patients, failed to discuss treatment risks with one of the patients, and allowed non-licensed health coaches to prepare and discuss treatment for another patient.
In an emailed statement to New Times, Shaban said she started her practice more than 20 years ago with nothing but her patients’ best interests in mind. “Until recently, I’ve never had any claims of malpractice against me. Unfortunately, one of my former employees vowed to damage my reputation and disrupt my business by making false reports to authorities and news outlets,” the email states. “My attorneys are working to prove many of the allegations made by the Attorney General’s Office in the medical board complaint are false and to clear my name.” According to the attorney general’s complaint, if Shaban is found guilty under the Medical Practice Act, her license could be revoked, she could be suspended for no longer than a year, and she could be required to pay the costs of probation, monitoring or any other discipline that the medical board deems appropriate. Carlos Villatoro, a public information manager for the Medical Board of California, said the state agency receives complaints from a variety of sources: patients, hospital staff, law enforcement, social media, or news media outlets. Every complaint gets investigated. Complaints of egregious violations such as sexual misconduct, over-prescription, or mental or physical impairment, Villatoro said, are investigated through the Department of Consumer Affairs Health Quality Investigation Unit. The investigation entails interviews with the physician in question, the patients, and/or any witnesses who may have been in the room. Once the unit has wrapped up its investigation and feels that it has uncovered evidence that meets the burden of proof, Villatoro said the investigation is then sent to the state Attorney General’s Office. If the attorney general believes that evidence does meet that burden of proof, the office files an accusation. The accused physician has 15 days to file a notice of defense with the state Medical Board, which entitles them to a hearing in front of an administrative law judge. Villatoro said Shaban’s legal counsel did file a notice of defense and has a settlement conference scheduled for July
10, 2020, and a hearing scheduled for Aug. 24, 2020. The Medical Board’s mission, he said, is to protect the consumer by enforcing the Medical Practice Act. “Anytime we have a complaint that needs to be investigated, we address it. That being said, the accusation is a charging document, and it doesn’t mean that a physician is automatically guilty of anything,” Villatoro said. An individual within the medical and aesthetic field on the Central Coast, who asked to remain anonymous, said their practice has received former patients from Revive MD Medical Group who were unhappy with their experience. “It’s not uncommon in the aesthetic world for patients to kind of float around from one doctor to another,” he said. “It’s not uncommon to have unhappy clients.” He said that in the practice that he’s involved with, the doctor administers all procedures, something that he’s heard Shaban doesn’t do. An unnamed former employee posted a review of the practice on GlassDoor—a website where current and former employees can review their employer— claiming that Shaban employs family members who are unlicensed. “The owner is cheap and has everyone in her family working there from her husband, daughter, mother-in-law … But they are on payroll, [human resources], and other health coaches. I was there a year and I think they fired seven to eight people. I wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy—seriously,” the review stated. During New Times’ recent tour of Revive, Wenzl says the practice has licensed registered nurses who operate and administer the IV clinic, laser treatment, and other cosmetic services. Shaban, Wenzl says, may administer any of her offered procedures, but she focuses on her primary concierge patients. She says while the accusation that was filed has been difficult for Shaban, the doctor has also received an outpouring of support from her current patients. “In the meantime, I am doing my best to stay positive and focus my energy on patient care and serving the community of San Luis Obispo,” Shaban’s emailed statement read. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com.

In the race Dawn Addis, co-founder of Women’s March SLO, announces run for 35th District Assembly
G
reeted by a raucous San Luis Obispo Guild Hall crowd of more than 100 people, Dawn Addis opened her run for state Assembly on Nov. 7 like she did her political life in 2017 as a Women’s March SLO organizer: surrounded by energized local progressives. “In 2017, millions of us took to the streets knowing that the fabric of America was about to be torn in ways we couldn’t fathom,” Addis told SLO Progressives Club members at their annual Friendsgiving dinner on Nov. 7. “We came together to demand a more positive and just future. Together we laced up our shoes.” Addis’ experience co-founding the local Women’s March propelled her into office in 2018 as a Morro Bay City Council member. Now, just a year later, the longtime public school teacher is taking a crack at higher office. “The truth is, at the state level, we have urgent work to do,” Addis told the audience. Addis will challenge incumbent Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham (R-SLO) for the 35th District seat, which covers SLO County and Northern Santa Barbara County. District voters will cast their ballots for the race in November 2020. Addis told New Times that the Women’s
March changed the trajectory of her life, showing her the power of “everyday people” in politics. “I decided to take a chance in 2017,” Addis said. “I saw what happened with the election, and the writing was on the wall that people I care about were going to be attacked—LGBTQIA people, people with immigrant backgrounds. ... I realized I needed to step out of my comfort zone, get off the sidelines, and do something a little bit larger. “It was incredibly successful,” she continued about the Women’s March. “We woke up the next day and my inbox was full, my social media was full, with people saying, ‘I had lost hope, and coming out on Jan. 21 [2017] gave me hope again.’ That was not a message I could walk away from.” A Democrat, Addis said she’s “hungry for change” on the Central Coast. As “a mom who knows how to juggle,” she said she’s prepared to balance her duties on the Morro Bay City Council with her state candidacy. “We need someone at the state level who’s going to advocate for real people, for real policies, and who’s going to take actual action,” Addis said. “I’m going to be listening to people in a different way. I’m not going to pick the softball issues.” Cunningham, who was previously a SLO County deputy district attorney and
Templeton Unified School District board member, ran and won his first Assembly campaign in 2016. He was re-elected in 2018, beating Democratic challenger Bill Ostrander. He’s one of just 18 Republicans— with one seat vacant, Democrats fill 61 of the remaining 62 Assembly seats. In his three years in office, Cunningham’s focused on regional issues like the Diablo Canyon Power Plant closure, local highway funding, and human trafficking. “Assemblyman Cunningham has been an independent and bipartisan fighter for the Central Coast,” read a statement from Cunningham’s re-election campaign following Addis’ announcement. “We are confident that the voters will continue to recognize his efforts to fight human trafficking, fund career technical education, and fight for jobs and infrastructure.” With national politics at the forefront of the Women’s March movement, Addis said she won’t shy away from discussing the Trump administration and its policies during her run. “All politics are local,” she said. “Everything that’s happening at the national level is happening right here in our communities.” Earlier on Nov. 7, a SLO Tribune editorial came out opining that local Democrats shouldn’t “play the Trump card” against Republicans in local races. The editorial board said, “It’s dividing our community and burning us out even more on presidential politics in general and Trump in particular.” Speaking to the Guild Hall crowd, Adam
Hill, SLO County’s 3rd District supervisor who’s running for re-election, twice called the position “bullshit.” Hill is facing a Republican challenger, Stacey Korsgaden. “I have a tough opponent,” Hill said, “who has been able to convince even some people locally that somehow, despite the enormously punitive and terrible things that the Trump administration is doing to California, that somehow we should not talk about it. Bullshit! “That’s what we’re fighting against, and we’re not going to let someone tell us, ‘No you can’t bring up Trump locally,’” he continued. “Bullshit.” As part of the editorial, The Tribune asked local Republicans in office to go on record about whether they support Trump. Both Cunningham and Korsgaden declined to weigh in. “The voters will have an opportunity to express their opinion of the president and his policies 12 months from now in the next election,” Nick Mirman, Cunningham’s chief of staff, told The Tribune. But questions about the president aren’t likely to go away, if the atmosphere in the SLO Guild Hall is any indication. Addis ended her campaign announcement with a widespread call to action. “In 2018, millions of us went to the polls to make our voices and votes heard,” she said. “I want the people in this room and the people who stand for progress across the 35th District to look back knowing that we left nothing on the table in the fight for democracy.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Chess: Shell Beach vs. Germany
C
hess pieces wobble back and forth as fourth grader Avery Connell adjusts her cat-eared headband, pulls on the sleeves of her unicorn sweatshirt, and maneuvers from sitting to kneeling, eyes never leaving the game on the table in front of her. The fidgeting is constant, but so is the focus. “Hmmm,” she mumbles thoughtfully, brow furrowed, hand hovering over the bishop. Cameron, Avery’s twin sister and most intense chess competitor, sits on the opposite side of the table, watching closely. “We usually don’t play together,” Avery says, “because it ends up in a 50-move war.” But in this particular game, the twins aren’t competing; they’re on the same team, along with several other Shell Beach Elementary School students who meet up on Wednesdays for an afterschool program that revolves around all PHOTO BY KASEY BUBNASH
things chess. Avery makes her final move after a few more seconds of thought and some consultation with Cameron, and then the girls call over the program’s director, Robert Holland, known to his students as Doctor Chess. Holland pulls out a sheet of paper listing the codes for a series of chess moves—“Pe4,” vs. “Pg6” and so on—and records Avery’s move. After today’s session, he’ll be emailing the single move off to Germany, where a former chess student, Justice Eggers, now lives. Eggers was one of Holland’s best chess students until he moved to Germany with his family in the spring of last school year. Eggers was nervous about leaving his friends and the chess program behind, Holland says, so the class decided to start a long-distance, international chess game between SISTER SISTER Eggers and all the Twin sisters other students. and ferocious The students competitors take turns making Cameron (left) a single move each and Avery (right) week.

It’s a slow way to play the game, Holland says, which can be both challenging and beneficial, especially for the newbies in the class. It requires a certain amount of attention but allows for long-term problem solving and strategizing, and Holland says it’s similar to how chess was commonly played through the post between longdistance friends—that was before cellphones and the internet existed. Some of those games lasted for years, Holland says, and this one will likely play out well into next school year. The kids are clearly enjoying it—most can’t wait for their next turn. “There’s a real addiction to the problem solving,” Holland says, looking out at the handful of students who have all now moved on to their own separate games. Some are playing the familiar, traditional game of chess we all know, and others are working on drills together that center on specific pieces. That allows the beginners to get a better grasp on how each piece works and all they can accomplish alone. “I teach them how to play,” Holland says, “and then how to win.”
Before class ends, Holland asks his students if there’s anything they’d like to ask Eggers. Questions come from various corners of the room: Has he learned German yet? Has he made any new friends? The game with Eggers in Germany is fun, but it’s also a great way for all the students to correspond, Holland says—and even better that it’s through the game that brought them all together in the first place. “It’s a 650-year-old game,” Holland says, “and yet we have modern kids, and as you can see, they’re into it.”

CHECK YOURSELF Security camera footage from local businesses that capture criminal activities is regularly turned in to the SLO Police Department, which often posts it on Facebook, hoping the public can identify the perpetrators.
You’re on candid camera!
S
BY GLEN STARKEY
urely Candid Camera host Allen Funt couldn’t have predicted that hidden cameras would become so ubiquitous in our lives, but here we are, surrounded by Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras nearly everywhere we go, our every movement being surreptitiously recorded. Some find solace and security in this near-constant surveillance; others worry that cameras everywhere are a civil rights violation that has the ability to affect our free expression. One thing is undeniable: You’re being watched.
Dumb and dumber
The black-and-white CCTV video opens on a nearly empty parking lot off of Aerovista Place near the airport. You can see car headlights driving along nearby Broad Street. The young trees in the parking lot medians sway slightly in the breeze. Out of the left side of a frame, a bare-chested man walks through the lot trailed by a young woman, both disappearing from the bottom right corner of the frame. A minute later, both figures re-enter the frame, she’s trying to stop him, and he’s trying to get around her. They disappear again, and then the man, now wearing a white T-shirt, comes charging back into the frame, runs toward a parked BMW, leaps onto the trunk lid, and smashes the rear window before falling off the car and appearing to knock himself unconscious as the woman runs up to him. She walks around him, nudging him with her foot, maybe calling his name though there’s no sound, and he seems to move slightly but it’s hard to tell in the footage. Finally, she reaches down and appears to push him a little to rouse him. She grabs his arm and tries to pull him up but he just lays there. She continues to stand there, and then he moves, sits up, but appears dazed. She starts to walk away, stops, turns around. He finally gets up, steadies himself on the smashed car, and she returns to him. Then they appear to be arguing. They pivot around each other, clearly agitated, then she walks away and he goes in the opposite direction, IMAGES COURTESY OF QUAGLINO PROPERTIES shaking his arms over his head like an agitated silverback gorilla as he moves toward one of the little trees that was earlier swaying in the breeze, which he grabs by the trunk and shakes violently, apparently trying to uproot the sapling. Patrick Scudder of Quaglino Properties noted that the area has seen a lot more late night activity since the SLO Brew Rock Event Center opened, so the couple were most likely attending a concert that night. The footage shows both the capabilities and limitations of CCTV. Yes, it can capture an apparently drunk fool and his exasperated girlfriend vandalizing a parked car and tree, but neither could be identified from the footage alone. “We own and manage about 25 commercial properties in and around SLO, and we have security cameras set up at about six of them,” Matthew Quaglino of Quaglino Properties explained via email. “Some of the video PUNK IN DRUBLIC A vandalism suspect can be seen entering a business parking lot, we catch is either hilarious arguing with his female companion, smashing the window of a BMW, and trying to uproot a or just maddening.

had people go into the entry foyer of a downtown building and use the entry as a bathroom, among other things. Last year we caught the graffiti artist called SOAP. He was a prolific tagger all over town, and the police department was able to identify him and prosecute him. He’s no longer tagging our city. “The problem is [that] having the video is a long way from catching whomever they are,” Quaglino continued. “In addition to our cameras, there are many more properties downtown that are catching lots of the same. We always turn these tapes over to the police, but they’re usually not a priority for them.” Of course, sometimes business cameras are exactly the evidence needed to prosecute a crime. A 2016 video recorded at Mr. Rick’s in Avila Beach captured former SLO city building inspector Christopher Matthew Olcott’s unprovoked assault on two other patrons, Camille Chavez and Issac McCormick. Though the public was outraged by the three years it took to prosecute the case and deliver a light sentence of 60 days in jail and three years of unsupervised probation, the security camera video was instrumental in bringing Olcott to justice.
Here, there, everywhere
According to SLOPD Capt. Brian Amoroso, “We first installed cameras approximately five years ago. Their purpose was to provide a way to capture evidentiary video in areas where crime was occurring, and to potentially act as a deterrent.” The SLOPD currently maintains 14 Police Observation Devices (PODs), most of which are located in downtown SLO. It’s unclear whether they’re much of a deterrent, as many of them are difficult to spot unless you’re looking. “Several are in parks, and some of them move around in response to problem areas,” Amoroso noted. “Each POD is a self-contained unit that has four cameras, and they can readily be moved to different locations.” If you’re imagining a room full of police officers gazing at monitors, ready to dispatch a car to the next drug deal or purse snatching, guess again. “They’re not monitored,” Amoroso said. “They’re used to pull video when reports of crime have occurred. We’ve used them for live monitoring in the past on occasions such as the Women’s March. We do sometimes have cameras in the neighborhoods surrounding Cal Poly depending on the time of year or in response to an increase in crime trends in that area.” Each POD costs about $8,500, and the SLOPD handles the installation and maintenance in-house. Depending on the unit, the recorded video is overwritten every 30 to 60 days. The newer PODs have more storage space. “If we download video for a case, it’s retained for as long as necessary until the case is adjudicated,” Amoroso explained. “After the case is over, it will be purged per normal departmental retention policy. There is no cost for the storage of video.” Existing city servers store the video that’s been downloaded and booked as evidence, and Amoroso said, “There are very clear state laws and department policy and procedure that governs how police employees manage evidence and confidential information. Any surveillance footage obtained from cameras fall within that same structure,” meaning some checks and balances exist to ensure video evidence is properly managed. When the SLOPD use video footage from sources other than their own cameras, they need a warrant to “obtain” but not “to use” the footage. For instance, in the case of the Quaglino footage capturing the BMW vandalism, since the footage was freely given, no warrant was necessary. But if “they did not want to give us video, then most likely yes,” Amoroso said, a warrant would be required to obtain it legally. So just how often do these PODs catch criminals? Apparently not that often. Amoroso had to go back to July of 2017 when three “Hispanic males” were filmed assaulting another man. “One that comes to mind is a stabbing that occurred

in Bubblegum Alley,” Amoroso recalled. “Although the identity of the suspect was known, the video was helpful in showing exactly what happened versus relying on statements or recollection of involved parties that may or may not have been intoxicated.” That raises the question of whether or not $119,000 of these PODs is worth it. Has the city conducted any studies on their cost-effectiveness? “Not that I am aware of,” Amoroso admitted. “It’s difficult to capture crime deterrence statistically.”
Knock, knock! Who’s there?

“because we don’t record we were never able to provide it.” He also notes that SLO, unlike some cities, doesn’t use license plate readers to record red light runners, though the city has a few in parking garages to keep track of overtime violations or for car structure occupancy studies. Some gated communities or neighborhoods with home owners associations also use license plate readers in something called “Flock Safety” systems, which record license plates of cars and comings and goings through neighborhoods. Amoroso said he wasn’t aware of any Flock Safety systems in San Luis Obispo. “However, if they were installed on their own property, I believe they would be legal. There’s nothing illegal about recording license plates as they drive by,” he said. “They’re in public and clearly visible.”

Opinion Atascadero’s proposed tiny-home development isn’t affordable
O
n the Atascadero city cable network, a City Council member recently boldly advertised that a developer wishes to develop a 1.7-acre lot in Atascadero and build approximately 26 “tiny homes.” This council member proudly remarked that this was an “affordable housing” development for Atascadero. These free-standing units will range from approximately 500 square feet to 900 square feet in size. Prices start at $250,000 and jump to $350,000. Some quick math indicates that the price per square foot, at these prices, is approximately $390 to $500 per square foot per dwelling. I do not know where this council member resides and what style home he currently owns. Personally, I have not stepped into $500-per-squarefoot homes in any zip codes in California that I can recall. The developer’s cost for the land, permits, and other fees cannot warrant these excessive mortgage premiums. The developer will gain the advantage of being able to utilize a Henry Ford type of construction line building these dwellings on the one parcel. Henry Ford,
using the same techniques, made the cost of a Model T very reasonable and within the budget of the common man. I request that the city of Atascadero in its earliest consideration of this project delve deep into what is an acceptable cost per square foot and reasonable profit for this developer. Some quick math indicates that this small lot might bring in a total of approximately $10 million or more on a 1.7-acre developed site. I wholeheartedly support our dire need for affordable housing. This project does not in any sense afford first-time homebuyers with any bang for their buck and exceeds any semblance of affordability or practicality to the buyer. I suggest that New Times investigate further how essentially unaffordable housing, with square footage costs exceeding that of Bel Air or Beverly Hills, can be shuffled off on the consumer while he or she listens to the roar of Highway 101 traffic that borders this parcel’s development. This project as tentatively discussed is a parody on affordability and an affront to sensibility. We have become jaded to think that $500-per-square-foot building

SLO’s doing it wrong
I am always amazed when I see a city decide to force its residents to walk or bike without providing any of the necessities that would make it possible to walk or bike. It is probably difficult for most Americans to remember what cities used to be like before the cars invaded them, but I was raised in France decades ago, and I remember. Even though I lived in a poor neighborhood, everything we needed was at our fingertips. Within a 10-minute walk, we could find three grocery stores, two bakeries, one butcher shop, one seafood shop, and one general store. I walked 10 minutes to the elementary school and 15 minutes to the church, consequently I kept on walking when I attended high school, and then the university. Walking became so natural for me that I never felt the need to own a car until I lived in Wyoming. Whenever I looked for a home, my first priority was a place from where I could walk to work. The city of San Luis Obispo wants to get people out of their cars, so they advocate developments with limited or no parking. This makes developers very happy and residents not so much, for

Letters where are the schools, the grocery stores, and everything else? They are often miles away. You may be able to walk a mile to a grocery store, but returning with bags of groceries is not so simple. Riding a bike might be easier, but not by much. And I don’t know any parent willing to let their children walk a long distance to school. They drive them. Even when there is a school nearby, parents often choose to drive them elsewhere. Children who have been driven back and forth all their young lives will go on driving when they are adults. Like everything else, walking (or biking) has to begin early, and responsible cities ought to provide what it takes to make it possible. You can’t build housing developments far from food and schools and tell people: “Go ahead, walk or bike!” Odile Ayral San Luis Obispo
Enabling a crisis
If I were homeless, seeking the quintessential Goldilocks place to live the rest of my life, San Francisco would be No. 1; Seattle, No. 2. The citizens, politicians, and law enforcement have combined forces to legitimize and mainstream homelessness. What a perfect place to live, free of laws, ordinances, and the stigma. Everything is free. I’m gonna tell all of my friends. Homelessness pretty much falls into one of two camps: Those who do not want to remain homeless and those who do. Ultimately, the question that society will eventually be faced with is: Are we empowering those who are homeless and want out permanently or enabling those who choose to live as human parasites, LETTERS continued page 14

Dear Camillia I think your Nov. 7 cover image was most unfortunate and incendiary. If you want to add fuel to the fire of our ridiculously polarized county, you couldn’t have chosen a better method. A line of rifle-toting whites, with the huge title “Liberals with guns”! Really? What do think the reaction is here in North County? How ’bout Pavlov’s Dogs syndrome? What about our citizens of color? What do you think they see in that image? Nothing wrong with the concept and reportage, but why not put inside with other various community activity features and personality pieces? It’s just a club, not a movement—yet—as far as I know. I’ll bet if you surveyed any liberals, Dems, Progressives, Greens, even on your own team, nine out of 10, would have been dismayed, horrified at the message in the

I think it was a terrible misjudgment on your part as editor and makes me wonder why you would choose this small club to represent armed aggression and potential conflict of the type all the reasonable, civilized world is desperately trying to quell and avoid.

Look for the common thread and get them out of office What is the common denominator of every city, town, and state in dire straits of economic poverty, homeless populations, slums, high crime, and food stamp recipients? Where unemployment, a lack of affordable housing, the poorest educated students even though the schools have high dollar costs per student, and every other negative social disaster that reduces the fabric of good living. Think about it: What is it? Ask yourself what is common in these cities and towns, who has had the political power of that city or state control for years, who has been making the rules, laws, and regulations. Who is it that is against the values of a free, Christian America? Who preaches hate and is constantly trying to pit brown against white, yellow against red. Isn’t it time to change who you vote for, time to drain the swamp, time to do something different? Look who has done more for minorities without jobs than any other politician. Isn’t it time to vote for
someone else, someone from the other party? Edward Veek Atascadero
Trump
Donald Trump is like a repetitive 7 to 8 magnitude Richter scale earthquake, not just in California, but for the entire country. You can’t see it coming—you can’t forecast it—there is no warning available. The results are substantial: destruction of our democracy, shake by shake. The destruction of our influence as a formidable ally to other democracies against common enemies. The destruction of our known way of life and living in this democracy is and will continue to increase under the “leadership” of this president. He needs to be removed, either by impeachment or, more valuably, by a resounding defeat in the 2020 election. Gary Karner Los Osos

Rhetoric&Reason
ust we change? Can we change? Will we change? These three questions framed the core of the Climate Reality Leadership Training I attended this summer in Minneapolis. In 2018, I was hit hard by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report stating that limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius would require rapid, far-reaching, and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society. In other dire climate news, the ice in the Arctic is melting at rates more accelerated than scientists predicted, the hottest recorded temperatures have occurred in the last five years, and extreme fires are ravaging Northern California. As a parent of 19- and 21-year-olds and an elementary school teacher, I can’t idly sit by when the future of our children is at stake. When my concerned 19-year-old daughter suggested that we attend the Climate Reality training led by former Vice President Al Gore, it was an easy, emphatic yes. Becoming a Climate Reality leader starts with attending a free three-day training. To date, more than 19,000 people worldwide have heeded the call. The premise of the training is simple: You want to change the world; we’ll show you how. The first day started at the Minneapolis Convention Center, the room abuzz with 1,200 participants. We introduced ourselves to our mentor, a community organizer from Oakland. As we settled in, we got to know our eclectic group— about 20 of us from SLO, the Bay Area, Monterey, and Santa Barbara. Members ranged from an architect born in Puerto Rico to an Irish tech executive, an attorney, teachers, a college professor, a wine industry executive, a biologist, an engineer, a stay-at-home mom, and a pastor. The lights soon dimmed and Gore welcomed us to the training, which focused on seven key areas: the science of climate change, how climate change is disrupting communities around the world, the solutions, the power of storytelling, media engagement strategies, grassroots organizing, and building momentum for worldwide solutions. Must we change? Scientific truths of the climate crisis, its causes and solutions were presented through workshops and panel discussions. Scientists in the fields of geophysics, soil, water, climate, and meteorology spoke, as well as the governor of Minnesota, the mayors of the Twin Cities, labor and environmental leaders, and New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. On that first day, Gore gave his slideshow from An Inconvenient Truth, the movie that sparked a global movement. (Trainees are given complete access to the slideshow for their own presentations.) The slideshow starts off simply with a photo taken from space of Earth, a sobering reminder of the beautiful, fragile planet we inhabit. Next, we were taken

on a roller coaster ride of information starting with the fact that humans are pumping 110 million tons of C02 into the atmosphere every 24 hours. The energy trapped by manmade warming pollution is equivalent to 500,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs per day. A graph going back 800,000 years showed Earth temperatures and C02 levels going up and down in natural cycles, until now. Suddenly, the temperature line shoots straight up following the upward trend of C02 on a frightening trajectory of global warming. Next, slides showed the effects of climate change: worldwide extreme record temperatures, melting glaciers, ocean warming, droughts, hurricanes, refugee migrations, fires, sea level rise, medical emergencies, and the risk of losing 50 percent of all land-based species. Can we change? Just when most of us were ready to dive for cover, the presentation made a U-turn to solutions. Across party lines, 69 percent of Americans think the U.S. should take aggressive action on climate change. Wind and solar energy are growing exponentially, auto manufacturers are shifting to electric vehicles, countries worldwide are committing to phasing
out fossil fuels, and U.S. states and cities are committing to being carbon free by 2045. “Solar installer” is forecast to be the fastest-growing job category in the U.S. through 2026. Wind turbine service technician is second. In breakout workshops, we learned presentation skills, how to tell our climate stories, how to live sustainably, and how to share about the climate crisis on social media. Will we change? We have the solutions, but will we act? Change is up to us. It takes all of us doing everything we can do right now to stop this crisis. Gore ended his slide show with the imperative to use your voice, your choice, and your vote, and a quote from Gandhi: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” For more info, attend the Sierra Club and Climate Reality SLO’s event, The ABCs of Climate Action, What YOU Can Do, on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. The presentation will be in the third floor auditorium of the of the Copeland Pavilion at French Medical Center. ∆ Andrew Christie is the director of the Santa Lucia chapter of the Sierra Club and Jennifer Burton Bauer is his boss.

Opinion
The Shredder
So dramatic! T hank goodness the SLO Repertory Theatre is here to save us from the local hardworking and creative artistic nonprofits that just aren’t as great as it is! If you listen to Managing Artistic Director Kevin Harris tell it, SLO Rep is better than Festival Mozaic, Opera SLO, and SLO Symphony combined! Combined, people! And it’s only got 97 seats. Just you wait until it fills those $9.5 million britches Harris is raising money to build. It’s going to be amazing. Just phenomenal, people! And that’s exactly what he told the San Luis Obispo City Council before they voted to allow SLO Rep to build its much-needed new theater downtown— and accompanying parking garage! Now all of you “there’s no parking downtown” complainers can focus on the fact that 404 parking spaces are coming to a soon-to-be constructed, five-story parking garage near you! “We are ready to become the only destination regional theater in the county,” he said. Wow, Kevin! You sound too big for your pantaloons! SLO Rep is great, really it is. And it has definitely outgrown its SLO Little Theatre origins, but in the great words of the nicest rapper on earth, Kendrick Lamar, “Sit down. Be humble.” Have you ever heard of the Melodrama in Oceano? I’m pretty sure that it’s a destination theater with professional
actors—plus the shows are so funny and always packed— and yes, Oceano is in San Luis Obispo County, people! Speaking of melodramatic behavior, the Arroyo Grande City Council is finally delivering the kinds of shows that I got used to with former Mayor Jim Hill and his trusty sidekick, former Councilmember Tim Brown! Arroyo Grande Mayor Caren Ray Russom threw a temper-tantrum over a pay raise she obviously wanted on Nov. 12 as I mischievously laughed at my good fortune. It’s been so long! Too long, you guys. On deck? A 60 percent raise. Yes, you read that right. Honestly, Arroyo Grande’s elected officials make a pittance compared to SLO’s City Council members. Remember when SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon was complaining about how little they made? Well, turns out she makes a bajillion times more money than Russom does. Well, Harmon’s collecting a cool $1,750 a month while Russom is bringing in a whopping $405! I would say Harmon doesn’t have much to complain about. Just as every elected body does when its members give themselves a raise on the taxpayer’s dime, the Arroyo Grande City Council got railed by community members! No surprises there. “Have you no shame?” resident Sandra Bocchicchio pointedly asked the council.
Well, other council members did, but I don’t think that Russom did that night. Councilmember Lan George said she’d feel better about this whole 60 percent raise thing (which would bring them to a whopping $648 per month) if they gave it to the 2022 iteration of the council—which would also look unbiased and better to constituents, don’t you think Russom? Constituents be damned! Russom was adamant. Every person sitting on the dais is undervalued by their constituents! Undervalued I say! Except for maybe Jimmy Paulding, who Russom was pissed at. Paulding said he puts in about 20 hours a week as a council member and added that nobody serving on the dais was in it for the money, which she scoffed at. “Given the amount of time that we all put in, where I’m really glad Councilmember Paulding can get this done in 20 hours a week. That is a nice average for him. And that’s not always the case. And maybe that’s why the mayor’s salary is different,” she fired back. Damn, Gina! Them’s fighting words. Fight! Fight! Fight! Sounds like somebody wants a raise. Geez Russom, they don’t call it being a “public servant” for nothing. And then, after all of the back and forth, railing about how they needed to put it into play for themselves, she refused to make the motion to do exactly that! What?! Is wrong with you?? “I think my disappointment is clear,” she
stated as she may as well have stomped her feet, crossed her arms, and turned her head away from everyone. Wow! Russom. You sound positively self-righteous! Almost like 3rd District SLO County Supervisor Adam Hill did when he called out a SLO Tribune editorial saying that Donald Trump shouldn’t be dragged into SLO County politics. “Don’t go there Democrats,” the Nov. 7 piece warned. “Don’t point the finger at local candidates ... and demonize them as evil ‘Trumpers’ because they belong to the Republican Party.” Hill responded at the SLO Progressives annual Friendsgiving dinner. “Bullshit!” he proclaimed. Well, at least he’s succinct. Oh wait, no he’s not. That exclamation came at the end of a long-winded rant that I stopped paying attention to. But I think Hill took the editorial personally—I would almost bet money on it if I could only get a 60 percent raise—because he’s already done it to his Republican challenger Stacy Korsgaden. Who needs local issues when you’ve got Trump! And Hill will be damned before he lets some hokey local newspaper tell him what to do! I agree. You do you, boo-boo. And, you know what? The Trib can too. I’ll sit in the back laughing to myself as I take it all in. ∆ The Shredder thrives on drama. Send comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Indie rock hero Doug Martsch and his revolving door band Built to Spill come to the Fremont
T
he problem with bands is they almost always break up, so how do you avoid the trap of implosion? You be Doug Martsch, the only permanent member of Idaho-based indie rock band Built to Spill. Martsch, the former guitarist and vocalist of the Treepeople, formed Built to Spill in 1992, telling Spin magazine his intention was to change his band’s lineup for every album. That worked for the first four years and three albums, but these days Martsch— who’s still considered the band’s only permanent member—seems to collaborate with players more than once. As far as I know, when Built to Spill comes to the Fremont Theater on Wednesday, Nov. 20, Martsch might be playing with Brett Nelson, Steve Gere, Jason Albertini, and Jim Roth, but don’t hold me to it. Regardless of who’s joining him, you can bank on a show with Martsch’s swirling guitar work, intricate knot-like arrangements, and his distinctive voice (7 p.m.; all ages; $30.83 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo.com), with Slam Dunk and Sunbathe opening. Also this week at the Fremont Theater, see honky-tonker Whitey Morgan on Thursday, Nov. 14 (8 p.m.; all ages; $33.17 general or $91.82 VIP at Boo Boo Records or fremontslo.com), with Alex Williams opening. SuicideGirls: Blackheart Burlesque comes to the Fremont on Friday, Nov. 15 (8 p.m.; 18-and-older; $33.17 to $62.50 at fremontslo.com and Boo Boo’s). Expect “the sexiest, smartest, geekiest, and most fun definitive pop-culture burlesque show,” according to the group. Blues icon Robert Cray comes to the Fremont on Saturday, Nov. 16 (7 p.m.; all ages; $42.56 to $77.75 at fremontslo. com and Boo Boo’s), with Bonnie Bishop
opening. The five-time Grammy winner and Blues Hall of Fame inductee delivers top-notch blues and R&B. Indie rockers Cold War Kids hit the Fremont on Sunday, Nov. 17 (8 p.m.; all ages; $36.69 at fremontslo.com and Boo Boo’s), with Samia opening. These guys are associated with Modest Mouse, We Barbarians, and Florence and the Machine. Finally, reggae act Tribal Seeds plays the Fremont next Thursday, Nov. 21 (7 p.m.; all ages; $30.83 at Boo Boo’s and fremontslo.com) with Tropidelic.

SLO Brew Rock hosts Texas-based country and Americana act Flatland Cavalry this Saturday, Nov. 16 (7 p.m.; 21-and-older; $13 at slobrew.com), with Mitchell Ferguson opening. Flatland is touring in support of their second album, Homeland Insecurity, an album about being in the present. “All too often, we’re stuck in a no man’s land where the present is almost nonexistent,” they said in press materials. “You look at the past, the ‘good old days,’ with rose-colored glasses. The future is presented as when everything will be figured out and make sense—there’s an unparalleled optimism towards the future. Bandleader and chief lyricist Cleto Cordero is fine with examining the present. There’s an appreciation for all the sharp detail and high-spirited emotions of today.” Reggae act Fortunate Youth plays SLO Brew Rock on Sunday, Nov. 17 (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $21 at slobrew.com) on its Live Life Fall Tour, with opening acts PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM
Beach Boys founding member Al Jardine plays Morro Bay’s The Siren this Saturday, Nov. 16, as part of his nationwide Endless Summer Tour (doors at 8 p.m.; 21-and-older; $40 presale at Boo Boo’s, Traffic Records, and ticketfly. com or $45 at the door; the venue will be closed from 7 to 8 p.m. for sound check). “It is exciting to have Al play at The Siren. We were searching for a venue that would accommodate a show that was upclose, personal, and intimate. Moreover, Morro Bay is also in many ways the ideal venue for this show, given that The Beach Boys spoke of this quaint California town in their song ‘California Saga,’ which Al plans to perform at the show,” show producer Erik Long said. Jardine, who played lead guitar and sang harmony, was the lead singer on “Help Me, Rhonda,” as well as “Then I Kissed Her” and “Come Go with Me.” He also had a UK Top 10 hit in 1978 with “Lady Lydia.”

Now the album is out, and Karoline Hausted (voice, piano, keyboard, harp, glockenspiel) and Mark Davis (voice, guitar, glockenspiel, frame drum) are on the road promoting the record in a series of concerts, including one at SLO’s East Wellbeing on Tuesday, Nov. 19 (doors at 6:30 p.m.; concert at 7; all ages; a $10 to $20 donation is requested; learn more at towakeyou.com/live_dates). “Over the past few years, we have pieced together this unique set of material using the Celtic harp, keyboard, guitar, percussion, and the spoken word,” Davis explained. “Inserting a little bit of traditional music into our original compositions, we also integrate texts from Hildegard, Tagore, and some Scandinavian sources. The concert is a shared, intimate experience with everyone in the room—it is reflective in nature. The tree has always been a powerful symbol around the globe.” ∆ Keep up with New Times Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey via Twitter at twitter. com/glenstarkey, friend him at facebook. com/glenstarkey, or contact him at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

Cambria Center for the Arts Theatre puts on Harvey, a 1940s play that asks audience members to open up their imaginations
A
play about a grown man with an imaginary rabbit friend sounds like it would make a great children’s story. While this is indeed the storyline behind Harvey, a 1944 play written by Mary Chase, the deeper implications of this production are far more thought-provoking and nuanced than what you’d likely get from a tale for kids. On stage The Cambria Center Harvey, a 1944 play for the Arts Theatre’s written by Mary Chase, (CCAT) production of will run at the Cambria Center for the Arts Harvey, with showtimes Theatre until Nov. 24. through Nov. 24, is a For show times, visit reminder that the social cambriacenterforthearts. commentary from a play org/theatre. written 75 years years ago can still ring just as true today. But being a comedy at its core, CCAT’s Harvey is sure to make you laugh as much as it will make you think. The story follows the social climbing motherdaughter duo of Veta Louise Simmons (Laura Richie) and Myrtle Mae Simmons (Sarah Ruth Smith), who are both terrified that they will be judged by others for the behavior of Veta’s brother, Elwood P. Dowd (Hank Wethington). Elwood is a perfectly nice man—in fact, he’s exceedingly nice, making friends everywhere he goes and handing out his business card to complete strangers. But there’s just one thing about Elwood: He claims to have an invisible friend named Harvey who is a rabbit. “Harvey’s a pooka, which is an imaginary being from Irish folklore that is always large,” producer Jill Turnbow explained to New Times before opening night on Nov. 2. In the case of Elwood, his pooka is a giant rabbit that towers over him at more than 6 feet tall. For the production, there is no actor playing Harvey; he is invisible to the audience just as he is invisible to Elwood’s family. What results is a sense of hilarious solidarity between the audience and Elwood’s family. We can feel the awkward pain that they go through, as the audience and actors alike watch Elwood talking to thin air on stage. Everywhere that Elwood goes, Harvey follows. When Harvey needs to fit through a door frame, Elwood helps him bend his rabbit ears down. When Elwood enter a room, he carries two coats and hats—one of the hats, of course, bearing two small holes for Harvey’s ears. And most mortifying of all to Veta and Myrtle: Elwood introduces Harvey to everyone. The final straw for the Simmons ladies occurs one night when they are throwing an upscale house party. Veta believes that Elwood will not be in attendance, and she finds herself finally able to entertain guests and accrue the social status she desires. But then Elwood shows up, and with him is Harvey. The party
FRIENDLY ELWOOD Elwood P. Dowd (Hank Wethington) shares a moment with Betty Chumley (Mary Alvarado), the wife of Dr. Chumley (Christopher Law), who runs a sanitarium. The younger doctor at the sanitarium, Dr. Sanderson (Landen Scott), looks on. HARVEY’S RIGHTHAND MAN Elwood P. Dowd’s (Hank Wethington, pictured) best friend is a giant rabbit named Harvey, in the 1940s era play, Harvey.
turns to chaos, and a distraught Veta decides she must admit Elwood to a sanitarium (details like this remind us that the play takes place in the ’40s). After some comedic twists and turns, including Veta taking a spin in the sanitarium herself, this silly, feel-good production ends with Elwood’s family members accepting him for who he is: a man with a pooka. But sprinkled throughout the mostly lighthearted production, some serious themes do persist. For one, it’s clear that Elwood’s character has an affinity for drinking—one strong enough to make you ponder why he really sees his pooka. “The joke with Ellwood P. Dowd is, does he really see Harvey or is he just a lush?” Turnbow said. “He does drink quite a bit, and the play takes place after Prohibition. It’s timely.”
Another piece of noteworthy historical context is that Harvey was written and is set right after World War II. “Mary Chase wrote it to help rebuild optimism,” said the show’s director, Kelli M. Poward. “At the end of World War II, there was a huge depression, and she wanted to provide a positive outlook. … In a world where there’s so much cynicism and upset, [it brings] that innocence and purity back. Elwood’s got some incredible quotes in this play, and the goofiness was really making comedy happen at a time when so much of the world was in an awful depression.” Despite being written so long ago, Turnbow said Harvey still works today as a source of comedic relief from the difficult realities that people face. “It’s so needed,” Turnbow said of comedies like Harvey. “We’ve done some serious shows, but in this day and age nobody will come. People say, ‘I don’t want to see it. I don’t want to hear it. Just make me laugh and entertain me.’ So we’ve kind of shifted gears a bit to try and do that, which is one of the reasons we did Harvey. It’s a feel-good show.” Poward said she hopes the show will encourage the audience to be more like Elwood. “The ideal audience takeaway is that optimism is so important for everything we are in the world,” she said.

A
t the Movement Arts Collective, you can find touches of European style that set it apart from what owners Maartje Lawrence-Hermans and Ryan Lawrence call the “American artistic sensibility.” The couple met in Amsterdam when they were both dancing professionally. Maartje was born in the Netherlands and had danced there since she was 6, while Ryan grew up here in SLO before going to Europe to pursue his dream. When the pair decided to open their own dance studio, they brought their combined experiences with the contemporary European dance scene together to start the Movement Arts Collective in 2017. Today, Maartje and Ryan are putting the final touches on Ballet Unbound, a three-part production that bridges the gap between classical ballet and the couple’s original, contemporary choreography. Ballet Unbound will show at the Performing Arts Center on Nov. 15 and 17. “We’re taking this foundational technique of ballet but extrapolating it into what would be dance now,” Ryan said, “a work that has the structural physicality of ballet but explores themes that are better told in a vocabulary that’s not only said in French.” With a 40-person cast of dancers ranging from ages 8 to 18, Ballet Unbound starts with Catherine Barnickel’s re-staging of Marius Petipa’s classic ballet called “Harlequinade.” This story of unrequited love and finding acceptance gives “a historical context to ballet to allow the other two pieces to extrapolate a little bit,” Ryan said. “It’s a classical ballet with pointe shoes and tutus, but it will be new music for a lot of people,” he continued. “That’s our traditional, historic piece. The other two pieces now have the ability to pull away from that.” The second piece, called “Uprooted,” features Maartje’s original choreography. “It’s actually covering a little bit of my world when I immigrated,” Maartje said. “It talks about the experience I had of feeling ripped out, your roots taken away from you. … It really shows how after you’ve figured out what you lost and you realize what you gained, there is a middle space, a space where you can cherish the old, receive the new, but be OK right in

between it and not constantly be swung from side to side.” The third part of the show introduces us to Ryan’s original work. Titled “In the Middle Ground,” the piece is a coproduction with Festival Mozaic and will be performed again in February with live music as part of the festival’s Winter Mezzo program. “Its focus is on the polarization of Bach and Pablo Cascals. Bach composed the Cello Suites, but Pablo Casals made them famous and reignited this passion for Bach’s music,” Ryan explained, adding that while “Bach was making this music that was there to glorify God and was really about divinity … Pablo Casals was looking for the humanity between the notes.” Ryan said that what happens between the lines, the music notes, or the dance moves is what inspires the third and final part of Ballet Unbound. “It’s not what we do onstage, it’s the space between that allows for resonance and that connection between dancers, history, and music,” he said. As individuals who have witnessed and lived the differences between European and American ways of doing things, Ryan and Maartje said productions are generally treated as more of a commercial venture in America than they are in Europe. “Here it’s a lot of private donations and ticket sales. In Europe you’ve got the leeway to be creative without the idea of ‘I’m going to be making a production that sells,’” Ryan said. In the European spirit, the couple hopes that their audiences will walk away with more than just a commercial exchange of entertainment, but a more profound and lasting appreciation for ballet as an art form. “With entertainment, the goal is to lighten your experience, and with art, it’s to deepen and enrich it,” Ryan said. “We’re trying to do something that is fun, but I want it to leave [the audience] with a stronger emotion than just, ‘What’s next?’” Δ Arts Writer Malea Martin is watching the ballet.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF PIKI FILMS down and inside out, that’s for sure. I can’t sing enough praise for Davis—this kid is expressive and sharp, a force to be reckoned with in the coming years. With a supporting cast of director Waititi himself, Johansson, Rebel Wilson, and Rockwell, this film is an absolute joy. This is one I will watch over and over again without hesitation. Glen Rockwell’s character, Capt. Klenzendorf, is a real standout. He’s a very complicated Nazi, one who dreams of glory on the front lines but who through his own lazy ineptitude keeps finding himself demoted to NAZI POWER Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis, right) and his imaginary friend “Adolf” (writer-director Tailka more and more embarrassing Waititi) feel the Nazi spirit during Hitler Youth training. positions.

Klenzendorf mother are super close, so the realization is the kind of morally compromised that she’s a traitor to the Nazi Party is a but generally good-hearted character big gut punch to her young son. He can’t Rockwell is great at playing. I also let her know that he knows about her thought Yates as Yorki was wonderful. Jewish stowaway, but he still tries to find His character, like Jojo, is earnest and ways to get the message across that he’s loyal but also too sweet to be an effective unhappy with her. He finds himself keen Nazi. Wilson as Fraulein Rahm also on spending more and more time with Elsa delivered a lot of comic gold. It’s both under the guise of writing a book on how to funny and horrifying to see how Waititi spot a Jew. He looks up to Klenzendorf as a depicts Hitler’s army during its death mentor, a grown-up who will actually give knell, willing to clothe children in paper him straight answers. It’s all sweet and yet uniforms, arm them, and expect them to terribly sad when you stop and think about fight to the death as the Allied invasion the circumstances. I too loved little Yorki— tightened its noose around Germany. the two boys lit up like Christmas trees Sorry to inject some politics in this, but I every time they spotted each other, even couldn’t help but think about the recent in the middle of an invasion. I hope to see White House Halloween celebration, where children were invited to write their more from both of them.

The two used to do words, “BUILD THE WALL.” Regimes everything together, but Jojo is growing indoctrinate children through play, just up and doesn’t need Adolf as a friend like Jojo and Yorki have fun playing as anymore. Watching Waititi as a flustered soldiers in the Hitler Youth, dressed in their spiffy uniforms and with their and funny Hitler is a lot of fun. I highly special Nazi knives. Jojo Rabbit and its recommend catching this one in theaters; irreverent examination of Nazi Germany it ranks as a must-see movie in my book! ∆ has a lot to say about our world today, but Waititi is such a hopeful filmmaker, and Split Screen is written by Senior Staff the film’s ultimate message is that good Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna. will triumph over evil.

Writer-director Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Before I Wake) helms this film based on Stephen King‘s novel about Danny Torrance (Ewan McGregor), the little boy with the ability to see ghosts from King’s earlier novel The Shining. Now an adult, Dan meets a tween girl, Abra Stone (Kyliegh Curran), who’s got the strongest “shining” he’s ever seen. Unfortunately, she’s being stalked by The True Knot, a group of quasi-immortal people who sustain themselves with “steam,” the energy those with “the shining” give off when they’re slowly tortured to death. Can Danny save Abra before it’s too late? What I loved most about Doctor Sleep is how it was able to expand the “shiningverse” into the outside world, beyond the Overlook Hotel, in ways I never could have imagined—as if my imagination is on par with Stephen King’s. On paper, the plot
sounded disappointing to me. I haven’t read the book, but the synopsis alone made me trepidatious. Especially the concept of The True Knot—basically vampires that suck energy from their victims’ dying breaths (literally) rather than blood. It just sounded so non-Shining to me; just take me back to the good ole days of tricycling down the hallway; creepy ghost sisters around the corner; zombie lady in the bathtub … all that good stuff. But that’s all there too, and trust me, it’s worth it, especially if you’re a big fan of Stanley Kubrick’s original film. But back to The True Knot and their plight for a sec. The “steam” energy is the most potent when victims are in a state of fear. This is visually represented first during a torture scene when we see members of the cult inhale one of their victims’ steam (which resembles a cold mist exiting their body) as he’s being stabbed periodically over and over
again. But the murderers are careful to keep him alive as long as possible, to absorb as much sustenance as they can. It’s basically as if they’re feeding off of his screams. It sounds more like an R-rated version of Monsters, Inc. than a Shining sequel. But that’s what made the film, and its story, all the more refreshing and surprising to me; it somehow ends up feeling like a genuine continuation. And the added mythology only works in its favor, adding new layers to what I originally hoped would be a one-shot tale. On a side note though, it’s also just fun to see a talented filmmaker pay homage to certain elements from Kubrick’s original film. Remember The Shining sequence in Ready Player One? I always wished that scene could have gone on even longer, but Doctor Sleep put that to rest. (151 min.) —Caleb Wiseblood MOVIES continued page 40

That includes research into the use of psilocybin mushrooms, aka magic mushrooms, aka shrooms, aka yes, finally! This is why we all came to this movie. Psilocybin are proving to be effective in reducing end-of-life anxieties in terminally ill patients, according to the film, in regenerating damaged brain cells, and are thought to help fight symptoms caused by Alzheimer’s.

again directs Antonio Banderas as Salvador Mallo, a director who feels he’s past his prime, but learns that his past experiences can mold his future artistic creations. Coincidentally, or possibly not, Almodóvar has created a visually stunning film that parallels his life. The characters are loosely based on the people he’s encountered throughout his existence. The technique isn’t new for Almodóvar, but it’s different. This time around, we’re not shown the glimpses of his life through past memory, but from his pespective as a protagonist. As Mallo is reconciling with his past experiences and loss, it feels as though Almodóvar is doing the same. For some audience members who are familiar with this

director’s work, the scenes and the dialogue resonate and feel familiar. We’re first introduced to Mallo sitting at the bottom of his pool looking for some relief to his back pain. He’s at a crossroads in his life; he feels that his medical issues don’t allow him to direct. It’s also a time in his life for him to reflect on the past: his mother’s death, a lost lover, artist’s block, his humbling childhood, and ailing health. Mallo really contemplates his life when he’s approached to attend a screening and Q-and-A of one his successful films. It’s an opportunity for him to reach out to his leading actor, who he had a falling out with, and ask him to join him. The meeting with drug addict Alberto Crespo (Asier Etxeandia) turns into the first time that Mallo tries heroin. As if on cue, Mallo becomes addicted to the drug that seems to relieve not only his physical pain but the haunting memories of his past. As he deals with the reality of aging and the stunting of his creativity, Mallo experiences flashbacks of his childhood with his basically single mother Jacinta (Penélope Cruz). Through these memories, he recounts the first time he remembers being attracted to a man, the hardships his mother faced, and the absence of his father. What would this pivotal time in life for Mallo be without some visits from his past? Again, if you’re familiar with Almodóvar’s work then you’ll be more than familiar with his casting choices. Maybe it’s these familiar faces or their long-term relationship with the director that’s displayed on film and makes the entire story feel more intimate. Pain and Glory is in Spanish, and I’m not sure if it’s because of the language being spoken, but every scene is more passionately done and the emotions aren’t just on the surface. It’s another side of Banderas’ acting career that we don’t normally get to appreciate. (113 min.) —Karen

What keeps bringing me back? Pacino vs. Robin Williams. It’s that simple. It’s the celebrity showdown I never guessed I would have needed in my life. How Nolan ever guessed pitting Scarface against Mrs. Doubtfire was a great idea must have been divine intervention. Without giving away too much of the mystery that unfolds, Williams plays Walter Finch, a local author who becomes a suspect in the case due to his “mentorship” with the decedent, who aspired to be a writer someday. Dormer is pretty much convinced Finch is the killer from the get-go, but a certain event takes place early on in the film that forces Dormer to tread lightly, as Finch is the sole witness to said event. In other words, Genie’s got some dirty deets on Michael Corleone. The cat-and-mouse relationship between Pacino and Williams is at the heart of Insomnia, but the film’s other body parts are nearly just as meaty. Hilary Swank gives a stellar supporting performance as Nightmute detective Ellie Burr, as does Maura Tierney as a hotel owner who Dormer confides in one night, his seventh without sleeping a wink. Add to the mix an unsettling but beautiful score, cold, calculated direction, and an eerie, morbid atmosphere ironically drenched in sunshine, and you’ve got Insomnia. (118 min.) Δ —Caleb Wiseblood
What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre, Park, Stadium 10, Sunset Drive-In Tim Miller (Deadpool) directs this next installment into the Terminator franchise. This time around, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and a “retired” T-800 Terminator going by the name Carl (Arnold Schwarzenegger) join forces with enhanced soldier, Grace (Mackenzie Davis), who’s been sent from the future to protect Daniella “Dani” Ramos (Natalia Reyes), who if she lives will give birth to a Resistance leader who will stop an A.I. called Legion, who like Skynet hopes to destroy humankind. They’re being pursued by Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna), an advanced Terminator that’s able to split in two. If it all sounds a little familiar, it’s because it is, but it’s also nice to see Hamilton and Schwarzenegger from the original 1984 film and the equally good sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) back together again. Yes, it’s essentially the same plot about time travelers battling to either kill or save a future mother who will give birth to the leader who will save humanity, but it’s a lot better than, say, Terminator Salvation (2009) and Terminator Genisys (2015). Tripling down on the original, the film features not one but three strong female characters, who bring a lot of power to the story. It doesn’t really surpass the first two films, but it definitely resets a franchise deeply in need of being reset. (128 min.) Δ —Glen

Table talk Cured and Cultivated online deli now delivers gorgeous meat and cheese ‘tables’ to Central Coast foodies
A
bout the same time their 15-monthold daughter, Zoia, took her first steps, Anatoly and Katherine Vorontsov launched the most happening cheese and charcuterie business around, Cured and Cultivated. And now, just in time for the holidays, the couple recently began offering online ordering and delivery of their boxes, boards, and “tables” of imported wares up and down the Central Coast. These artistic grazing meals— often seen at winery events—feature meticulously arranged landscapes, with rivers of cheese wrapping around hills and valleys of salami and soppressata, colored with flowers and olives, nuts, and berries. These vast spreads are the work of Anatoly. I first met his grazing table at the Perinet After Hours event at Tolosa Winery in SLO. Anatoly said he found the need to add food to all the wine-tasting goings-on years ago, in 2015, when he began selling cheese and charcuterie at the Halter Ranch Tasting room in Paso Robles, where his wife, Katherine (originally from Texas Hill Country), was working. Anatoly, originally from Siberian Russia, said that when he first started out, cold calling the wineries to begin his business, he hoped the winery employees would remember him as the Russian with the meat samples. They definitely PHOTOS COURTESY OF ANATOLY VORONTSOV

did. No doubt they were as impressed with his jolly, humble, hard-working, and innovative character as they were with his artistic, edible offerings. He told me Russians tend to be pessimistic, always waiting for bad things to happen, but based on his story, good luck seems to ride on his coattails. Plus, he really knows his stuff. He had me try some of his Csabai Hungarian Eat with your eyes salami, which Cured and Cultivated online deli specializes in artisanal cheese tastes lighter and and cured meats sliced to order and delivered to your door.

Eating cured meats was a way of life. In a place as cold as Siberia, food must be preserved and stored when nothing is growing and ranching is difficult. Preserved meat is still an essential part of Anatoly’s life. “My food is my message,” he said. Anatoly and his wife met in England and celebrated their marriage with small ceremonies in his Russian hometown and her Texas town. After Katherine took a turn living in Russia, the couple moved to SLO County when she was offered the job with Halter Ranch. He said he spent a few months waiting for his legal work permit before he was offered a job at the former Enjoy EuroDeli market in Arroyo Grande, a job he found by chance after overhearing the deli’s future owner speaking Russian in a home-goods store. Anatoly laughed when he said it didn’t feel very “American” that there wasn’t much eating going on with the wine tasting at the time he was working for the Euro-Deli.

D INE ’N’ DISH Saucelito Canyon’s 2016 Estate Classic Zinfandel
Harvest on the Coast Grand Tasting was a delight this first weekend in November at Avila Beach Resort. It’s the event of catharsis for the wine biz, specifically of the Coastal Region. It was sweet to see the winery owners and winemakers, hands cracked and purple from the season’s harvest, wind down with the rest of us. We rubbed elbows while going from table to table, tasting their colleagues’ wines, and nibbling on fun little bites from places like Farmhouse Corner Market, Novo, Beda’s Biergarten, and the Spoon Trade. SLO chocolatier Sheila Kearns was there herself, handing out her organic chocolate for dessert, and the Negranti Creamery truck line was so long, I almost gave up, but I doggedly pressed on for my little cone of sheep’s milk ice cream bliss. My winemaker friend pointed out that Saucelito Canyon’s Classic 2016 zin was one to try that day because there are few zinfandel producers in the SLO Coastal AVA. Saucelito Canyon had a little booth under the tent by the water and were pouring the wine that had all the boutique and historic wine lovers gathered round. Saucelito Canyon’s estate-grown Classic is harvested from heritage wines in Arroyo Grande, soon to be a part of the SLO Coastal AVA. The wine exhibits natural balance and character from the gravelly canyon terroir, and those cool 40-degree nights make a wine that’s well-balanced and clean, medium-bodied, drinkable, and delicious. The Saucelito Canyon 2016 estate zinfandel is $40 per bottle, available at the tasting room, 3080 Biddle Ranch Road, SLO. ∆ Flavor writer Beth Giuffre is classic.

WHAT: Hearing to consider a request by Dan Kies (SUB2019-00079) to amend a building envelope on Parcel 3 of recorded Tract 2656. The amended building envelope would be expanded from approximately 0.78 acres to approximately 1.19 acres.

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 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.

ARIES
LIBRA
(March 21-April 19): If there are any potential Aries heroes or leaders or saviors out there, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to fully bloom and assert your practical magnificence. The lessons you have learned while improvising workable solutions for yourself are ripe to be applied to the riddles that are puzzling your tribe or group or gang. I want to let you know, however, that to achieve maximum effectiveness, you should be willing to do good deeds for people who may not be able to pay you back.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Every now and then I authorize you Libras to shed your polite, tactful personas and express the angst you sometimes feel but usually hide. That’s now! To egg you on, read this mischievous rant by Libran blogger Clary Gay (claryfightwood.tumblr.com): “We Libras are constantly thinking about how to make everyone else comfortable and happy. There’s not a minute going by when we’re not worrying about radiating a soothing and comforting aura so everyone can have a good time. If a Libra is cranky, it’s because they snapped! Because of some non-Libra who doesn’t appreciate them! If a Libra is mean to people, it’s their own damn fault!”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when it’s crucial that your receptivity be as robust as possible. To guide you in this delightful but perhaps challenging work, here are good questions for you to pose. 1. Do you know what help and support you need most, and are you brave and forthright enough to ask for it? 2. Is there any part of you, perhaps unconscious, that believes you don’t deserve gifts and blessings? 3. Do you diligently cultivate your capacity to be refreshed and restored? 4. Are you eagerly responsive when life surprises you with learning experiences and inspirations?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Many people will not be honest because they fear loss of intimacy and togetherness,” writes self-help author Henry Cloud. But the truth, he adds, is that “honesty brings people closer together,” because it “strengthens their identities.” Therein lies the tender paradox: “The more you realize your separate identities, the closer you can become.” Living according to this principle may not be as easy or convenient as being deceptive and covert, but it’s ultimately more gratifying. Henry Cloud concludes, “Telling loved ones what is really on your mind and telling others what you really think is the foundation of love.”
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Maturity is having the ability to escape categorization,” said poet Kenneth Rexroth. That’s the opposite of the conventional wisdom. For many people, the process of growing up and becoming a seasoned adult means trying to fit in, to find one’s category, to be serious and steady and stable. Rexroth, on the other hand, suggested that when you fully ripen into your potentials, you transcend standard definitions; you don’t adhere to others’ expectations; you are uniquely yourself, outside and beyond all pigeonholes and classifications. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to practice and cultivate this sacred art.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is there an event from your past that would be empowering for you to remember in detail? Is there a neglected but still viable dream you could resurrect, thereby energizing your enthusiasm for the future? Are there old allies you’ve lost touch with but who, if you called on them, could provide you with just the boost you need? Is there a familiar pleasure you’ve grown numb to but could reinvigorate by visualizing the original reasons you loved it? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to meditate on these questions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Catholic saint St. Francis (1181–1226) loved animals and the natural world. According to one folkloric tale, he was once traveling on foot with several companions when they came upon a place where the trees were filled with birds. St. Francis said, “Wait for me while I go preach to my sisters the birds.” He proceeded to do just that. The birds were an attentive audience for the duration of his sermon, apparently captivated by his tender tones. Seven centuries later, author Rebecca West offered a critique of the bird-whisperer. “Did St. Francis preach to the birds?” she asked. “Whatever for? If he really liked birds he would have done better to preach to the cats.” In the coming weeks, Virgo, I encourage you to do the metaphorical equivalent of preaching to both the birds and the cats.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Robert Bly tells us that the door to the soul is unlocked. You don’t have to struggle through any special machinations to open it or go through it. Furthermore, the realm of the soul is always ready for you. Always! It harbors the precise treasure you need in order to be replenished and empowered. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I think that during the next two weeks, you should abide as much as possible in the soul’s realm—the cornucopia of holy truths and ever-fresh riches.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In my estimation, what you’ve experienced lately has been akin to a fermentation process. It’s as if you’re undergoing a transformation with resemblances to the way that grapes turn into wine or milk becomes yogurt or dough rises before being baked into bread. You may have had to endure some discomfort, which is the case for anything in the midst of substantial change. But I think you’ll ultimately be quite pleased with the results, which I expect will be ready no later than 10 days after your birthday—and quite possibly sooner.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Many books have been written about Joan of Arc, a 15th-century teenage peasant girl whose improbable ascent to military leadership, under the guidance of her divine visions, was crucial in France’s victory over the English. Among the many miraculous elements of her story was the fact that less than a year before she led troops into battle on horseback, she didn’t know how to ride a horse. She learned by riding around her father’s farm astride his cows. I foresee an equivalent marvel in your future, Capricorn. By this time next year, you will have developed an aptitude that might seem unimaginable now. (PS: There’s evidence Joan was a Capricorn.)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Divine Comedy is one of history’s greatest literary works. Its author, Dante Alighieri, was 43 when he began writing the Inferno, the first part of his three-part masterpiece. Up until that time, he had published just one book and a few poems, and had also abandoned work on two unfinished books. Early on in the Inferno, the not-yet-renowned author presents a fictional scene in which he meets with the spirits of antiquity’s most famous authors: Virgil, Homer, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan. Those illustrious five tell Dante he is such an important writer that he ranks sixth, after them, in his excellence. I’m going to encourage you to dare indulging in behavior like Dante’s: to visualize and extol—and yes, even brag about—the virtues and skills that will ultimately be your signature contribution to this world.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Latin word for sea is mare. Flustra is the calm sea. Undisonus means “resounding with waves.” Caeruleus is the sea’s deep shade of blue, aestus is the tide, and aequoreus means “connected with the sea.” My hope is that as you meditate on these lyrical terms, you’ll be moved to remember the first lakes, rivers, and oceans you ever swam in. You’ll recall your time floating in your mother’s womb and your most joyous immersions in warm baths and hot springs. Why? It’s a favorable time to seek the healing and rejuvenating powers of primal waters—both metaphorically and literally. ∆
