Higher PG&E exit fees jeopardize Central Coast Community Energy

A

recent move by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to raise fees on PG&E customers bolting for locally run energy programs may jeopardize San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay’s plan to launch Central Coast Community Energy.

In a highly anticipated Oct. 11 decision, the CPUC unanimously voted to tweak the formula used to calculate the monthly fees charged to Community Choice Energy (CCE) customers. The decision will result in higher bills and tighter margins for CCE agencies, like the budding Central Coast Community Energy, which formed last month as a partnership between the cities of SLO and Morro Bay. The rationale for the fee increase— which was supported by PG&E, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric but opposed by CCE advocates—is to better compensate the private utilities for having purchased energy for customers who end up leaving their ecosystems for a local CCE. But it puts the future of Central Coast Community Energy in limbo. “[The decision] has a significant impact on the overall financial viability for all the scenarios we’ve looked at,” said Bob Hill, SLO’s natural resources manager. “This is true not only for us but anybody in the state that is looking at launching a new CCE program.”

In the coming days, SLO and Morro Bay will be consulting with their contracted technical expert, The Energy Authority, to better understand the implications of the commission’s decision.

“We don’t have those answers today,” Hill said on Oct. 16.

The fee increase is a blow to SLO, as the city moves forward on a goal to reach net-zero

in more renewable energy sources.

But the growing number of CCEs has concerned California’s three legacy utility companies, leading to new regulatory actions.

In addition to the recent fee increases on CCE customers, the CPUC has also required that new CCE programs wait one calendar year before going into operation.

For Central Coast Community Energy, that means it must submit an implementation plan to the commission by January 2019 in order to launch in 2020—a tight timeframe.

Its first official board of directors meeting will be on Nov. 7.

“I am incredibly disappointed and concerned that even in light of the IPCC’s [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report on the urgent nature of MURKY FUTURE A recent regulatory decision by the California Public Utilities Commission puts at risk the launch of Central Coast Community climate change that the Energy, a “community choice” partnership between SLO and Morro Bay CPUC has put corporate to provide an alternative electricity provider to PG&E. interests before the health, safety, and economy of the carbon emissions status by 2035.

It’s back to the drawing board for San Simeon wastewater

San Simeon is still looking for a long-term solution to its wastewater treatment plant after withdrawing a second application with the California Coastal Commission.

At the Oct. 12 Coastal Commission meeting, the San Simeon Community Services District was seeking authorization for an after-the-fact development permit for repairs the district made to the plant without commission approval.

The commission’s conditions of approval included requiring the district to construct a public access pedestrian and bicycle bridge, authorizing new repairs to the plant, and native habitat restoration.

If San Simeon had agreed, the project would have been approved for 20 years, but, in that time period, the district would have had to fund and plan the relocation of the existing treatment plant.

“The district cannot simply afford to comply with the conditions of approval recommended by staff. The cost to comply with the conditions significantly exceeds the district annual

revenues, which include water, wastewater, and service revenues,” San Simeon Community Services District General Manager Charles Grace said during the meeting.

He also said that the commission’s 20-year deadline was a prescription for failure.

San Luis Obispo County 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson spoke in support of a regional discussion about wastewater solutions at the meeting.

“The interests of the Community Services District, the county, state parks, and this commission are all aligned. We all see it’s going to be necessary to relocate this plant; the question is how and when. That’s the big question,” Gibson said.

According to a commission staff report, the district made repairs to its facility in 1983, 1995, and 1999 without a permit or Coastal Commission approval.

“All of this development was undertaken without the benefit of a coastal development permit, and this constitutes violations of the Coastal Act and the San Luis Obispo County Local Coastal Program, for which the Commission’s enforcement unit opened an NEWS continued page 7

enforcement case in 2001, which remains active today,” the report stated.

In 2001, the commission began an enforcement investigation and released a notice of violation letter in 2004. The district submitted an after-the-fact coastal development permit application, which was then scheduled for a hearing in 2009, but the district withdrew the application before the hearing.

At the close of the meeting, Grace said the district wants to work with the commission and other agencies involved on a long-term solution for the district. He also mentioned the possibility of working with the Cambria Community Services District.

“The district believes it makes sense for the commission to examine the feasibility of the two districts coming together to determine whether one new wastewater treatment plant rather than two aging treatment plants makes the most sense,” he said.

Planning Commission approves Santa Margarita cannabis facility

Santa Margarita is one step closer to getting its first commercial cannabis business.

Members of the San Luis Obispo County Planning Commission voted 4-0 on Oct. 11 to approve a conditional-use permit that will allow the GMFL Inc. and Sungrown Wellness to operate a nonstorefront cannabis dispensary for mobile delivery and a distribution facility out of an existing building in Santa Margarita.

Members of the commission said they reviewed the companies’ applications and determined they were within the guidelines of SLO County’s commercial cannabis regulations.

“This is appropriate for that type of use,” Commissioner Michael Multari said.

“I don’t have a problem at all with voting to approve this use permit.”

According to the application, the two companies plan to share a 1,236 squarefoot building in the 2200 block of El Camino Real. GMFL would operate the distribution portion of the operation out of the building’s southwest side, while Sungrown Wellness, a locally owned medical cannabis delivery business, would operate out of its northeast side.

“Our drivers will arrive, load up for the day’s orders, then leave for the day to distribute medical cannabis to patients’ homes,” said Sommer Shahan, owner of Sungrown Wellness. “No cannabis will be sold from this location, and it will not be open to the public.”

Per the conditions of the permit’s approval, both businesses agreed to make improvements on the property, including installing security measures such as fences and cameras, implementing an odor control system, and improving landscaping outside the building. Shahan told the commissioners that the goal was to keep the facility’s presence “as low-key as possible,” and said the exterior style and signage of the building would remain unchanged.

“Our family has lived here and done business here for over 20 years,” Shahan said. “We’ve raised our children here and just want the opportunity to do legal business and support our family.”

Marie Roth, a Templeton resident

and friend of Shahan’s, urged the commission to approve the project, noting a dearth of distribution facilities in northern SLO County.

“There is literally no way for patients to obtain products at this time,” she said.

Lawn sign debate wages in SLO city

“Their signs are too big.” “Our signs are getting stolen.” “Our signs are also getting stolen.” “Their signs violate city code.”

“Our signs are protected by free speech.”

In the bitter fight for San Luis Obispo mayor between candidates Heidi Harmon and T. Keith Gurnee, banter like this is taking place over social media, city office phone lines, and newspaper staffers’ inboxes, as the Nov. 6 Election Day approaches.

A quick trip through SLO’s neighborhoods will reveal the passion with which residents are expressing their political preferences in this election season. Gurnee and Harmon lawn signs, among others, are scattered across town, their competing yellow and red hues clashing from block to block.

But some Gurnee supporters are expressing outrage at Harmon’s signs— particularly a handful of the mayor’s signs that look to be as large as 7-feet wide by 4-feet tall. Their gripe is that SLO’s municipal code explicitly restricts the size of campaigns signs to 3 squarefeet in residential zones and 10 squarefeet in nonresidential zones.

“This, of course, is just more indication of this arrogant woman’s disdain for anything she doesn’t find convenient.

Rules? They’re for other people,” said resident Richard Schmidt, a frequent Harmon critic, in an email to New Times.

While the signs may exceed what’s written in SLO’s code, city officials say that a recent U.S. Supreme Court case has essentially rendered its, and many other municipalities’, sign ordinances unconstitutional.

In 2015, the Supreme Court ruled in Reed v. Town of Gilbert—which pitted an Arizona church against its town’s sign laws—that governments cannot regulate private signs based on their content.

In other words, SLO can’t have one set of rules for campaign yard signs and another set of rules for real estate yard signs, or other types of signs.

“We are actively in the process of updating our sign code,” said Jon Ansolabehere, SLO’s assistant city attorney. “In terms of the size of the sign, right now those would be content-based, and therefore would be unenforceable. ... It’s a problem that many cities are struggling with up and down the state.”

Harmon campaign manager Quinn Brady told New Times the campaign had ordered signs of varying sizes, and supporters could choose which to put on their lawns. Brady said people wanting the largest available Harmon sign were briefed on the conflict between the city’s code and case law.

“People chose what they wanted to put up,” she said. “We said, ‘This is the city’s rules and here’s what happened with the court case.’”

The debate over sign size points to the hostility brewing between the Harmon and Gurnee camps. Supporters of both candidates claim that they’ve had their yard signs stolen or vandalized. Brady said that in at least one case, a Harmon supporter

ordered a larger sign after her smaller signs were stolen on three occasions.

“We’ve had dozens of signs reported stolen,” she said.

On the social media website Nextdoor, Gurnee supporters alleged similar treatment to their signs.

“Harmon supporters have been systematically removing Gurnee signs,” wrote resident Allan Cooper. “I and a neighbor of mine have had our Gurnee signs stolen three times.”

Grover Beach declares homeless shelter crisis

Grover Beach became the second South SLO County city to declare a homeless shelter crisis this month in order to get a portion of a multi-million-dollar state grant program to combat homelessness.

Members of the Grover Beach City Council voted unanimously to declare the shelter crisis at an Oct. 15 meeting.

The vote followed a similar shelter crisis declaration made by the city of Arroyo Grande earlier this month.

Declaring the shelter crisis will allow Grover Beach to obtain some of the estimated $4.8 million SLO County will receive from the state under the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP). The program was established to provide more than $500 million in block grant funding to assist cities and counties in California address homelessness. The funds can be used in a variety of ways, but cities like Grover Beach can only get the funding directly from the county if they declare a shelter crisis.

“It provides some flexibility in taking actions to help support homeless services and homeless needs across the community,” Grover Beach City Manager Matthew Bronson said. “The state has stressed that the parameters are fairly broad to allow communities to be creative and collaborative to work on addressing homelessness in unique ways with these grant dollars.”

Bronson said the timetable for the grant program was moving quickly, with the state set to announce the first round of funding recipients in January 2019. In addition to Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach, at least three other SLO County cities plan to declare shelter crises in November. SLO County must also declare a shelter crisis for unincorporated areas by Dec. 31 to be eligible for the HEAP funding.

Just how the grant money is spent

will be hashed out through collaboration between South County cities and the county. According to the county’s 2017 point-in-time homeless count, 317 of the 359 homeless individuals counted in South SLO County were unsheltered.

Currently, there is no permanent homeless shelter in South SLO County.

“The declaration tonight is really important to the process because we are trying to approach this from a South County regional perspective, and we need the region to be in on this,” said Mike Byrd, president of the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition’s board of directors.

New candidates for Cambria seats talk water and communication

Three newcomers are vying against incumbent Aaron Wharton for two open Cambria Community Services District spots in the November election.

Wharton is the owner of 927 Beer Company, and was appointed by the board in October of last year to fill a vacant seat. Dennis Perry, Donn Howell, and Cindy Steidel are running against him.

Perry is a licensed naturopathic practitioner in Oregon and lives in Cambria with his wife. He has a background in engineering, chemistry, and biology.

He supports the district working toward a permanent coastal development permit for its sustainable water facility and more community involvement with the district. But Perry said that relationship should go both ways, with district board members making themselves more accessible to the public.

“It occurred to me if each of the directors had time to have lunch once a month, and instead of a list of grievances and problems, the community came with ideas and solutions. Let’s brainstorm together and make people feel more involved,” he said.

Howell is a retired database administrator who wants the district board to have more accountability, specifically around the process of recruiting a new general manager.

“This is too important to rush into.

Boards come and go every four years but the general manager goes on,” he said.

“It’s important to conduct a thorough search and interview process because it needs to be the right one.”

Howell supports the district’s pursuit of permanently permitting the sustainable NEWS continued page 8

water facility, maintaining the water wait list, addressing the community’s fire safety issues, and ensuring that the roads are sustainable for the town’s current and future population.

Steidel is a retired business manager, who participated on the build-out reduction committee, currently serves as vice chair on the North Coast Advisory Council, and participates on the district’s financial committee.

Steidel said she backs the district’s recent formation of financial and infrastructure committees, which she believes are a significant piece of creating stronger policies to move the district out of its current financial issues.

“I’d like the board to be focused on establishing the fiscal health of the district. I was very much committed to the rate hike, and I’m very proud that the community had the political will to step up and allow that to happen,” she said.

“We need to find ways that we can find the district healthy enough for grants and loans to apply for things we need down the line.”

She said she believes the sustainable water facility, the water wait list, and controlled growth are all intertwined to keep Cambria fiscally sound and are all issues she supports.

CHP searching for driver in fatal hit-and-run

The CHP is asking for the public’s help in finding an unknown driver who struck and killed a 22-year-old man near Paso Robles.

On Oct. 15, the CHP released a description of the vehicle that they say hit the man, Nathaniel J. Weatherly.

Officials said they were looking for a goldcolored Toyota Sienna minivan. The year of vehicle is unknown, but investigators believe it may be between 2004 and 2007.

Investigators also said that the minivan might have damage to its front bumper, front grille, front windshield, or front fenders.

“All or some of these parts may be damaged as a result of this collision,” a press release from the CHP stated. “This vehicle may have already been taken to a repair shop.”

Weatherly, described as a transient whose last known residence was San Miguel, was attempting to walk or run across Highway 101 near the 13th Street overpass in Paso Robles around 5 a.m. on Oct. 11 when he was hit by the van, which was traveling southbound. The van fled and Weatherly was pronounced dead at the scene. CHP officials said there was a strong possibility that the minivan’s driver lived in Northern SLO County or Southern Monterey County.

The CHP is asking anyone who has seen a vehicle matching their description, or with any information on the collision to call the Templeton CHP office at (805) 434-1822.

Paso Robles Joint Unified grapples with budget issues again

P

aso Robles Joint Unified School District is working with the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education to bring its financial budget up to state standards once again.

After a spending oversight and the constant turnover of the district’s chief of business, the district’s budget reserve is depleted and teachers are worried about their future employment.

Jim Lynett, executive director of the Paso Robles Public Educators, the district’s teachers union, said Paso Robles Joint Unified was in sound financial standing until last year, as it had pulled itself out of a budget issue that occurred during the 2011-12 fiscal year.

As part of that good standing, the district’s goal was to keep the budget reserve at 10 percent in order to avoid any budget issues. The California Department of Education requires a minimum reserve that is scaled to the size of the school district. Paso is required to carry a minimum reserve of 3 percent.

Lynett said that at the beginning of 2018, the district’s reserve dropped from 9 percent to 6 percent. In June, the district presented the 2018-19 fiscal budget to the board and projected the reserve to decrease again to 3.1 percent.

Lynett said that was when the board realized that it had been overspending by about $1.08 million.

At a Sept. 25 board meeting, the district presented its unaudited actuals (a budget that hasn’t been formally audited yet) for the 2017-18 fiscal year, which stated that the district’s reserves had dropped from 3.1 percent to .96 percent.

Lynett said the reasons the district gave at the meeting for the spending oversight was the high turnover rate of its chief of business—the district recently hired its third chief of business since 2014—increased spending on special education, and position control within the district.

“All of that put together kind of made for what I like to call a perfect storm.

It kind of all fell down this past year,” Lynett said.

On Sept. 26, Paso Robles Joint Unified Superintendent Chris Williams, who joined the district in 2014, sent a letter to the school community.

“The discussion over our budgets and deficits is much greater than just numbers on a page; it is about more than just reducing spending or about a specific number of our reserve, it is about creating a conservative, transparent, sustainable budget that aligns to our guiding principles,” the letter stated.

“Our brutal reality is that we have to become better stewards with the highest level of financial oversight. To meet the expectation, we do not have to sacrifice the core values that we believe in, and as long as I’m superintendent, we won’t.”

New Times reached out to Williams, but he did not respond to requests for comment.

Brad Pawlowski, the newest chief of business, told New Times that he couldn’t comment on the issues that occurred before he started working for the district or what led the district to its current financial state. He said that when he started on July 30, the district had been working with a member provided by the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education to complete the unaudited actuals for the 2017-18 school year. In order for the district to close the books on that year, the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education approved the final budget with conditions.

Office of Education Assistant Superintendent Sheldon Smith said it’s also requiring the district to work with the state’s Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) to meet those conditions. FCMAT’s job is to help California’s local educational agencies fulfill their financial and management

MONEY OVERSIGHT Paso Robles Joint Unified School District is working with the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education to get out of its financial issues.

responsibilities by providing fiscal advice, management assistance, training, and other related school businesses services.

The district is mandated to do a fiscal health risk analysis—which has 20 areas that measure the district’s procedures on tracking attendance, monitoring their general ledger, and monitoring expenses.

“If those practices slip it’s hard to be able to come up with a sound budget and a sound projection as they plan going into the future. So what FCMAT will do is they’ll do the health risk analysis and then they’ll give the school district a road map to follow on which processes and procedures they need to follow in order to tighten up,” Smith said.

A fiscal advisor from the Office of Education will be assigned to the district to monitor its progress, and it must create a budget communications committee. The district has until Nov. 5 to come up with a plan to get back on track and to create the committee.

Smith said what the district can do immediately is clearly track attendance— because it correlates directly with revenue—and determine whether it’s overstaffed at any level (the district office, administrators, or teachers).

“I want to come across as optimistic, but it took them a couple of years to get here, and it’s going to take them a while to come out,” he said.

Lynett said teachers are expressing

concern about their jobs in the meantime.

“Last time the district had this problem, they came to us—the union— and they said, ‘Gee, guess we don’t have enough money and so you’re going to have to bite the bullet and help us figure out ways and get more money,’” Lynett said.

“When you’ve got an enterprise that’s 90 percent people, there’s only people that you can go to.”

Pawlowski said the district will prioritize reductions starting with management positions. Then, it will assess programs to evaluate the cost and impact cutting them would have on students. The district will also look into the fees that it charges the public to use its facilities and developer fees. The last place the district will look is at teaching positions, Pawlowski said. It is part of the overall assessment that is required by the Office of Education but has the lowest priority.

Pawlowski said that while the budget is an issue that the district is trying to fix, there are a lot of positives the district has under its belt.

In the past five years dual language immersion enrollment has increased from 400 to 757 students, the number of AP courses has increased from 12 to 17, and Career in Technical Education courses have increased from four to 25. ∆ Staff Writer Karen Garcia can be reached at kgarcia@newtimesslo.com

Defending pumping Paso Robles-area governments win expensive and contentious water rights trial

A

Santa Clara County jury served four Paso Robles-area government agencies a victory in court on Sept.

24, concluding in a unanimous ruling that those public water purveyors had established a right to pump from the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin—even in adverse conditions, like a drought.

After a month-long trial stemming from a 2013 lawsuit filed by private landowners, the jury ruled that the agencies—San Luis Obispo County, the city of Paso Robles, Templeton Community Services District (CSD), and San Miguel CSD—successfully proved that they’d established overriding rights to basin water between 1981 and 1990, when the aquifer was in a state of overdraft.

Hundreds of property owners surrounding the communities of San Miguel, Paso Robles, Shandon, Templeton, Atascadero, and Santa Margarita filed the “quiet title” claim during the last California drought, claiming a right to the groundwater under their properties.

At question in the case was whose groundwater rights take precedence—the overlier or purveyor—when the shared water source is in overdraft, roughly defined as when overall pumping exceeds the aquifer’s safe annual yield.

“It means we have a co-equal right to pump in the basin that the people overlying have the right to do,” said Dick McKinley, Paso Robles public works director, of the ruling.

Collectively, the prevailing governments serve water to tens of thousands of residents in North County.

Now to what extent those agencies can legally pump water during overdraft conditions remains to be seen. That will be decided in the next phase of the case.

In trying to prove the prescriptive rights, the agencies failed to sway the jury that basin overdraft conditions existed after 1990—meaning, any future rulings will be based on pumping between 1981 and 1990. This wrinkle is where the coalition of plaintiffs are hanging their hats in victory.

“The recent claim by the governmental entities that the jury sided with [them]

distorts the truth and the impact of the jury’s decision,” lead plaintiff and Paso Robles vintner Cindy Steinbeck said in a statement. “The amounts pumped and used by the defendants back in the 1980s were minimal.”

Steinbeck predicts that the case’s end result for the landowners will be a “nominal, extremely small percentage of claimed prescriptive rights” against their properties and right to pump groundwater.

On this point, Paso Robles’ McKinley isn’t worried, either. He anticipates that the “lowest end number” in terms of the city’s allowed pumping will be “not much less than what we plan to pump in the long run” for its build-out to a population of 44,000.

While the ruling may have the biggest affect on Paso Robles in terms of future plans, it is perhaps most consequential for the communities of Shandon, Santa Margarita, and San Miguel—small towns that are totally dependent on water from the Paso Robles basin. The city of Paso, in comparison, has two additional water sources: the Salinas River and Lake Nacimiento.

“If the case were to have gone the other way, those people would die,” McKinley said. “They would die so people could grow grapes.”

The remaining party in the litigation that wasn’t affected by the most recent verdict is the Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWC). Instead of asserting prescriptive rights to the basin groundwater, the AMWC is arguing that it is a basin overlier, like the individual landowners that filed the suit. AMWC’s origins date back to 1913.

“We’re a private company, not a public entity,” said John Neil, the company’s general manager. “Our service area used to be a 24,000-acre cattle ranch. E.G. Lewis bought that and formed the water company. ... We hold in trust the water rights of that original ranch. Those rights are no different than the plaintiffs’ water rights.”

Neil said AMWC is awaiting its turn to defend itself in a separate trial in Santa Clara on Nov. 16. The stakes are high for Atascadero residents, he said.

“Half of our water supply comes from the Paso [basin],” Neil said. “It’s a big deal for us.”

WATER FIGHT A recent Santa Clara County Superior Court ruling will allow public water purveyors in North San Luis Obispo County to pump groundwater from the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin during periods of overdraft.

Costly fight

To date, the five defendant agencies have spent a collective $5.7 million on attorney, hydrologist, and travel fees related to the quiet title case, according to data requested by New Times.

Paso Robles racked up the highest bill of $2.5 million—followed by SLO County at $1.5 million; Templeton CSD at $585,000; AMWC at $560,000; and the San Miguel CSD at $512,114.

And the costs, paid for by taxpayers and ratepayers, will continue to climb as the case drags out. Officials say some of those costs will be recouped by the plaintiffs.

“It’s really unfortunate,” Neil said. “We could’ve applied that money to do projects that maybe could’ve reversed the issue we’re seeing.”

Between the high costs and stakes, tensions among the opposing parties run high. The government agencies blame the landowners for starting what they view as an unnecessary, costly, and adversarial fight. The landowners blame the purveyors for managing the aquifer irresponsibly, and then pummeling them with new regulations, like the county’s

groundwater offset ordinance, passed during the last drought that restricted new agricultural plantings.

Whoever’s at fault, the financial impact is indisputable. The San Miguel CSD recently passed dramatic water rate increases on its 851 customers—with water bills doubling for some households. Expenses related to the quiet title litigation have been crippling for the district’s books, General Manager Rob Roberson said.

“It comes directly out of our operational expenses and has diminished our reserve funds,” Roberson said. “This has put us in a situation where we had to raise our rates and put off some of our projects, which will inevitably be more expensive in the future for us to deal with. ... We don’t know what’s in the future. We still need to protect our rights to the water.

We can’t elect to partake or not partake, because if we don’t defend ourselves we’re automatically surrendering our rights that are disputed.” Δ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Pets in motion V eterinarian Rebecca Staple has a slogan. It’s written on her wall.

“A body in motion stays in motion.”

In this case, the bodies aren’t those of SLO residents, but of their beloved pets. Staple recently opened Coastal Veterinary Rehabilitation and Acupuncture in Los Osos. There, she offers a range of animal rehabilitation treatments (think of physical therapy, but for animals instead of people).

That rehabilitation includes an array of therapies such as stretching, passive range of motion exercises, and medical massage. Her Los Osos center also sports physioballs, wobble boards, and even a canine treadmill.

While the animals might see them as toys, they are actually tools to help them stay healthy and heal. Staple works with pets recovering from surgeries, senior animals with mobility issues, and pets that suffer from spinal injuries, neurological diseases, and other conditions.

“I love working with my patients,” Staple told New Times. “I get to be much more hands-on with them and focus on their quality of life and giving them more time with their owners.”

In addition to providing rehabilitation services, Staple’s new practice also offers acupuncture for pets. The practice, based on traditional Chinese medicine, works

pretty much the same way it does for humans—by placing very small needles on specific points on the animal’s body to stimulate a cellular response. The use of veterinary rehabilitation and acupuncture is becoming more common in larger cities, and Staple is now brining it to SLO County.

She is the first veterinarian on the Central Coast to hold certifications in both canine rehabilitation and veterinary acupuncture. She said that acupuncture can help pets with pain issues, gastrointestinal diseases, and arthritis as well as anxiety, allergies, and other issues.

“Veterinary acupuncture has actually been practiced for thousands of years. In China, they started doing acupuncture on animals before humans,” Staple said. “In the Western veterinary world it’s becoming more common because more people have explored it in human medicine and now they are looking at it as an option for their pets too.”

Staple said that both the acupuncture and rehabilitation were also good options for pets that are unable to take pain medication.

Owners are seeking out such services more often, in part, because changing attitudes pet owners have toward their animals.

“They are viewed more as family members now,” Staple said. “Their owners want to do whatever they can to make

Setting the bar A few years ago, Denise Juarez could barely lift the bench press bar.

Now she holds two powerlifting world records—and is hungry for more

BY PETER JOHNSON PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

RAISING THE BAR Inside FitnessWorks of Morro Bay, Denise Juarez attempts a deadlift, one of the three lifts in powerlifting.

BY HER SIDE Uriel Tapia (right), who’s also a competitive powerlifter, first introduced Denise Juarez to the weight room and served as her trainer for about two years.

F

or a moment, Denise Juarez didn’t know if she was going to make it up to the stage.

The then 19-year-old from Morro Bay heard her name booming over the loudspeaker inside the NASPower Gym in Bakersfield, but she was frozen with fear. She was about to compete for the first time at powerlifting, a strength sport that combines lifts in the bench press, squat, and deadlift.

“I froze up really bad,” Juarez, now 22, reflected. “For me it was hard because I’m not really a proud person. It’s hundreds of people watching. When they called me, I actually did not go up.”

Standing at 4-foot-11 and weighing 97 pounds, it’s true that Juarez doesn’t exactly scream world record powerlifter with her presence. Neither does her humble, unassuming personality.

For instance, while many strength athletes have their faces, chests, and backs slapped until they’re purple to get psyched up for competitions, Juarez needs the opposite—peace and quiet—to perform. Her low-key demeanor and stature are actually secret weapons.

“Whenever I go out there, no one really expects me to outlift everyone,” she said.

But at that first competition in Bakersfield, with the crowd and judges

12 • New Times • October 18 - October 25, 2018 • www.newtimesslo.com

waiting, Juarez couldn’t find it. She made it to the stage, but ended up getting disqualified for form violations.

“I couldn’t focus,” she said. “I was so nervous to the point where I got disqualified. I just kind of sat there really upset. I was like, ‘I don’t like these things.’”

What happened next epitomized the perseverance and character that has propelled Juarez to where she is today, in the highest echelons of powerlifting.

Shaken and down on herself, she was approached by the NASPower Gym owners—the hosts of the event. They saw something special in her and wanted to sign her up for a lift later in the day.

“They were just like, ‘You have a lot of potential. We really want you to continue on,’” Juarez said.

With her boyfriend (and trainer), Uriel Tapia, by her side, Juarez fought through the nerves. She nailed the lifts to take home the first-place medal. The triumph marked the start of Juarez’s rapid ascendance to becoming a twotime powerlifting world record holder with Olympic lifting in her sights. But it wouldn’t be the last time she’d have to overcome adversity to get there.

Juarez’s remarkable story is one of someone discovering her passion, talent, and purpose where she least expected it,

and of what’s possible when friends, family, and community rally behind you at life’s toughest moments.

Fitness works

Juarez would not be lifting weights today if she had not met Tapia. The two first crossed paths at summer school back when they were both in high school— she at Morro Bay High School and he at San Luis Obispo High School. Tapia was already into lifting weights. Juarez was not at all. But she was a talented multi-sport high school athlete, with a particular knack for track and field.

“She was pretty much an athlete since day one,” Tapia said.

When the two started seeing each other, Tapia noticed something. Whenever he’d hit the gym, Juarez would go out for her version of exercise: a long run.

“She could run for like an hour straight,” Tapia marveled. “So I just one day invited her and said, ‘Hey, why not just come out to the gym instead and learn something new?’”

Juarez resisted the idea at first.

“I was like, ‘No I don’t want to do that,’” she said with a laugh. “I was scared that I was going to get really muscular and big.

He said, ‘Just try it!’”

She indulged, reluctantly, and the two started training at FitnessWorks of Morro Bay, where Tapia also worked.

Juarez remembers struggling to lift the bench press bar, which is 45 pounds, during her first session. Yet something about the experience drew her in. She was a fast learner, and Tapia helped her feel comfortable and a part of the FitnessWorks community.

“We’re a small hometown gym, so we know everybody,” said Ginger Machado, FitnessWorks’ general manager. “Uriel started to introduce her to it and that was all part of our social dialogue in the gym: ‘Oh I’m going to get Denise to lift. She’s got the perfect body type and she’ll be amazing.’”

There was another reason why weightlifting clicked with Juarez. She started around the same time that her parents were going through a rough separation. The gym became an essential place of refuge.

“I would always go to the gym to work out because that took everything away,” Juarez said. “That’s what I do when I’m stressed out.”

Claiming powerlifting as a real athletic pursuit, though, wasn’t easy at first for Juarez. Her parents were skeptical and even set restrictions on it.

“I was living with my dad and he was really strict and would only let me go once a week,” Juarez said. “He was very, ‘That’s for guys. Why are you doing that?’

My mom, too, was very iffy about it.”

Eventually, both of her folks decided to move out of SLO County, which left Juarez with a choice: to stay with Tapia or go with them. It was a no-brainer.

“I didn’t want to go with them,” she said.

“I was like, ‘I’m not leaving him here.’”

Juarez ended up moving into the Tapia family’s house in Morro Bay, and the two continued their lifting routine at FitnessWorks. All the while, Tapia was amazed by how quickly Juarez was improving and adding weight to her lifts.

“In a matter of weeks we added about 40 to 50 pounds. It was kind of crazy to see,” Tapia said. “I’ve seen people when they first start training, they do get strong, but that was a crazy jump.

I’d never seen that before. She had something going on for her.”

‘Genetic freak’

Juarez’s rate of improvement kept skyrocketing. Repetition and small tweaks to her form here and there would

add pounds upon pounds to her lifts. She remembers one specific instance of this, when it became apparent just how strong she’d gotten.

“One day [Tapia] fixed my deadlift form, and we added 100 pounds that day,” Juarez said. “He looked up all the records, and he was like, ‘You just broke all of California’s state records. … You need to compete.’”

Nobody was as surprised by her newly discovered powerlifting prowess as Juarez. She had always been quick to adapt to new sports, whether it was soccer, tennis, or track and field—“but nothing like this,” she said. Those close to her describe Juarez as having the perfect combination of physical attributes and a disciplined attitude to excel at the sport. Powerlifting is unique in that the lifter is allowed just three attempts at three events—the bench press, squat, and deadlift—and the aim is to “max out” on the third attempt. The format favored Juarez’s minute explosiveness.

“She’s just born to do it,” Tapia said.

“For her stature, for how much she weighs, for how long her limbs are and where her muscle insertions are at.”

“They call me a genetic freak,” Juarez said.

A powerlifter himself, Tapia helped Juarez get connected with the broader competitive powerlifting community and get signed up for meets. Pretty soon, Juarez became FitnessWorks’ first (and only) sponsored athlete. The gym paid her an annual stipend to cover travel and tournament expenses and in exchange, FitnessWorks got to use Juarez’s photos for marketing purposes.

In all of her first four competitions, including the near-disaster in Bakersfield, Juarez took home first place medals. She was dominant and only getting better. It dawned on Tapia that it was time for Juarez to get a professional trainer, who could take her performances to the next level. They contacted an international strength-training firm, The Strength Athlete, where Juarez was connected with Joe Stanek, a Pennsylvania-based trainer.

“It was probably the smartest and biggest help,” Tapia said of the decision to fire himself.

Setting records

Stanek and Juarez have never actually met; their whole training occurs remotely, over web videos. Juarez records herself while lifting, and Stanek reviews it and send back his own video with comments, pointers, and instructions.

Training four days per week, with one day off for light cardio, Juarez almost immediately started reaping the benefits of the new program and instruction.

“My bench press was at 120 pounds, and I was stuck there for a whole year,” Juarez explained. “He added I think almost 40 pounds within two months.”

For his part, Stanek was struck

by Juarez’s strength, work ethic, and intelligence; she was an easy pupil.

“She’s very, very coachable,” Stanek said. “One of the ways that I’m always trying to improve [athletes] is to work on their technique. With a lot of athletes, it will take a few times to remind them.

Denise is very different in that she makes the change right away. She’s very adaptable—honestly the perfect athlete in terms of taking direction.”

While the new training program paid dividends for Juarez’s lifting numbers, it was not cheap by any means. Juarez worked long hours at the Starbucks in Albertsons, just down the street from FitnessWorks, and continued living at the Tapias’ house to make it all work.

“My coach is expensive but I make it

one of my priorities because it’s a life thing for me,” she said. “I do everything that I can.”

Juarez’s tireless training culminated in the performance of her life at the U.S. Powerlifting Association National Championships in Las Vegas on July 12, 2018. The event marked not only her first time at a national championship, it was also her first plane flight in her life.

“I was extremely scared,” she said, referring to either the competition or the airplane, or both.

When it was her time to hit the stage, Juarez didn’t disappoint. That day she set two world records in her weight class (97 pounds) and age group (women aged 20 to 23), notching 154.3 pounds in the bench press and 231.5 pounds in the squat. Her scores catapulted her to a No. 4 world ranking among 97-pound powerlifters of any age.

Perhaps the most impressive part of Juarez’s performance was that she did it in a federation that does not drug test.

While Juarez is clean as a whistle, that’s not the case for some of the athletes she went up against.

“And she’s still smoking them, which is crazy,” Stanek said. “That speaks to the level of talent that she has.”

Juarez returned to Morro Bay on a high, with one world record medal in each hand. She had no idea that just a few weeks later she would lose those medals, and more, in a tragic incident.

‘Everything was lost’

Like most tragedies, this one came out of nowhere. July 28 was an otherwise normal day in the Tapia household.

Everyone was home—Juarez, Tapia, and his mom, sister, and brother—and hanging out, when suddenly Juarez’s eyes locked on the smoke.

“I looked up and saw this big black cloud coming from the hallway,” she remembered.

The family scrambled to leave the house. When they got out, they saw that it “was all up in flames right there.”

“I froze up. I didn’t know what to do,” Juarez said. “You’d think you’d have time to get your stuff, but you’re not thinking that. In your head it’s, ‘What’s going on?’

It burned down in as little as 15 minutes, the whole thing. Nothing was saved.

Everything was lost.”

The fire was devastating, both materially and psychologically. It originated from the laundry room, but Juarez said the cause was unknown.

In response, the Morro Bay community stepped up to the plate in support.

ALL ABOUT FAMILY Juarez poses for a photo with her grandmother (right), mother (left), and sister after winning top accolades at a competition in Santa Clarita last year.

Juarez said she sometimes looks at a photo of her sister to inspire her before lifts.

Juarez’s labor union at Starbucks wrote her a check to buy all new clothes.

A GoFundMe page launched, and community members donated enough money to pay for a security deposit on a new rental house.

“The pretty cool thing is everyone in Morro Bay knows me and my boyfriend very well as ‘the power-lifting couple,’” Juarez said. “A lot of people came together. Everybody that donated to our GoFundMe basically paid off everything we lost. We got everything back.”

True to the family atmosphere at FitnessWorks, a significant chunk of the contributions came from gym community members.

“Everybody was giving cash,” said Machado, the FitnessWorks general manager. “They’ve been getting a ton of support from the gym.”

Juarez’s mom, initially lukewarm on powerlifting, surprised her by contacting the powerlifting federation to ask them to send Juarez new medals, which had melted in the fire.

“Now that they see what I’m actually doing and that it makes me really happy, they’re very supportive.” Juarez said of her mom and dad.

While Juarez and the Tapia family were grateful to have their feet under them again, the ordeal all but halted Juarez’s momentum in powerlifting. She took a month off of training, and had to cancel her spot in a Nov. 8 world qualifier PHOTO COURTESY OF DENISE JUAREZ

with the chance to compete in Russia, “to save money for food and clothes,” she said.

When Juarez did get back into the gym, things felt different. There was a lot of pain and angst to work through.

“That was the hardest time coming back because I couldn’t hit what I was used to hitting in the gym,” Juarez said.

“I felt super weak and I had days where I would just go home and tell my coach, ‘I’m not doing this.’ It really upset me.”

Her trainer, Stanek, gives Juarez a lot more credit than she gives herself.

Stanek said he was taken aback by her commitment to her training, despite what she’d just endured. He and Juarez both opened up about what powerlifting can do for people processing difficult emotions.

“You get people starting at powerlifting for a lot of reasons, but I often find that an outlet for expression is the most common thing,” Stanek said. “For many lifters, it’s that break for us during the day, for two, three hours, where we’re focused on that and only that and channeling our emotions into it. Many people in the world, they’d tell you that it’s the best part of their days.”

Set the bar high

With characteristic determination, Juarez navigated the rough patch, steadily working her way back to where she had left off in her training.

Now, she’s focused on her future goals: setting the world record in deadlift; moving up to a higher-level federation; and pursuing Olympic lifting, which is PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM

LOST AND FOUND After her powerlifting medals were destroyed in a house fire in July, Juarez had some of them remade by the U.S. Powerlifting Association, including these two for first place and best lifter at a competition.

similar to powerlifting but involves some differences, like extending the arms all the way up above the head with the bar.

“I’m excited to see where I get in the next couple of years. I don’t know what I’m going to be doing,” Juarez said. “I want to be able to do four times my body weight—a 400-pound deadlift. You want to set the bar high.”

These days, when Juarez is called to the big stage, when she sees other lifters hitting themselves in the face, pumping with adrenaline, she doesn’t flinch or get anxious. She just thinks about her purpose, her family, and her friends.

Those are her sources of strength.

“There are times when I’ll look at a picture of my baby sister,” Juarez said.

“That really pushes me to pull more.

Everything’s about family.”

And despite her extraordinary talent, world records, and future potential, Juarez said she only wants a powerlifting career if it continues to make her happy.

“A lot of people say you could be making money off of it,” she said, “but I don’t want to turn it into a job where I feel like I have to do it. I want to do it to make myself feel good.” ∆ Assistant Editor Peter Johnson can be reached at pjohnson@newtimesslo.com.

Commentary

BY HEIDI HARMON

Let’s keep moving forward We’ve made a lot of progress in two years, but there’s more to do

I

n the short time I have been mayor, I am proud of what the community and current San Luis Obispo City Council have accomplished on the issues that residents care about most.

We’ve created more affordability and inclusivity, we’ve led San Luis Obispo to be the national leader on our carbon neutrality goal, we’ve expanded our infrastructure for more choices in transportation, added to our beautiful open space, and taken on the dual challenges of Diablo Canyon Power Plant’s closure and our pensions seriously. We’ve done all of this with your help. Being out in the community every day, learning about your ideas, has been the engine that has fueled our progress. It’s the people of San Luis Obispo that make this place special. Building relationships with a wide swath of this community is the key to creating the best policies we can.

In a very divisive time, we want San Luis Obispo to be part of the solution— not part of the problem. We don’t want to let fear and division win the day. We don’t want a politics of exclusion and negativity.

We need a politics of belonging. A politics of inclusion. A politics of engagement. It’s easy to say no. It takes this community coming together to do the heavy lifting of democracy to get us to yes.

We have gotten to yes—and there is more work to do. Here’s a recap of what we’ve done, and where I intend to lead us in the next two years: Housing—what we’ve accomplished: • With my full-fledged support, this council has approved environmentally

HODIN

friendly projects that will yield increased housing opportunities for working people, families, and lowerincome residents—all while staying well under our 1 percent growth cap.

• We negotiated with developers to fund $70 million in infrastructure improvements and required more affordable housing.

• We have ensured these projects give priority to local workers so that these homes stay locally owned.

• We have ensured that residents can afford these homes by having downpayment assistance, maximizing deedrestricted affordable units, and offering similar programs.

• We have consistently urged Cal Poly to build more student housing as quickly as possible, and house more of their students in a meaningful way so that our neighborhoods can accommodate more permanent residents.

What we’ll accomplish next: • Listen carefully to residents for innovative ways to solve difficult challenges, such as upgrading our roads where needed, traffic impacts, and improving parking and issues that directly impact our neighborhoods.

• Advocate for more affordable housing for families, seniors on fixed incomes, and young professionals.

• Collaborate with neighboring cities and regional institutions to address our challenges on issues such as water security, homelessness, more head-of-household jobs, tourism, and improving traffic flow.

Environmental stewardship —what we’ve accomplished: • We have moved forward with major upgrades to our Water Resource Recovery Facility, requiring local workers on the project, and developed one of the best water portfolios in the state in the face of drought and climate change.

• We have approved the acquisition of additional open space, growing one of our community’s most important environmental assets, our green belt.

• We have committed to becoming a net zero city, with the most ambitious goal in the United States so that our next generation can experience the SLO we cherish.

• We’ve led the effort for Community Choice Energy so we can have a choice of energy sources that will spur innovation, access to more clean energy, and economic benefits.

What we’ll accomplish next: • Expand our planning efforts to ensure we continue to have the water we need for future generations.

• Preserve and expand our beautiful open space.

• Continue to transition to a net zero city.

• Increase transportation options so that our city has choices for all residents, whether they drive, bike, or walk.

Financial responsibility, local jobs— what we’ve accomplished: • In my term, we have adopted a fiscal responsibility plan that has resulted in an increase in paying down our unfunded pension liabilities and

created a longer-term plan to address the problem.

• I led the effort to keep our jobs local by requiring contractors on a major infrastructure project to hire local workers first.

What we’ll accomplish next: • Address the impacts and opportunities of the Diablo Canyon transition.

• Further pay down our city’s unfunded pension liabilities while keeping SLO a full-service city.

• Create more of head-of-household jobs.

I am proud of these accomplishments, and I am equally proud of how we reached our decisions: We did it by listening carefully to residents, eager to leverage the constructive power of an active and respectful community dialogue.

For example: When San Luis Drive residents expressed concerns over potential height increases in downtown, the council, staff, and the neighborhood worked together to pass an ordinance to lower the heights on upper Monterey.

Likewise, when the community spoke out against potential expansions to height allowances, we as a City Council listened and directed the Planning Commission to take another look.

I believe our city is on the right track.

But you don’t have to take my word for it, you can take the word of fellow voters. According to a recent public opinion survey commissioned by the SLO Chamber of Commerce, SLO voters by a wide margin believe city government is “headed in the right direction.”

Keep oil and jobs local

There is no fracking in San Luis Obispo County, and even Measure G supporters will admit that the county’s geology doesn’t support fracking. What Measure G will do is shut down existing oil and gas production in San Luis Obispo County, along with the jobs, tax revenue, and economic activity it supports.

Measure G would lead to the loss of 230 good-paying jobs directly related to oil and gas production in SLO County— and even more jobs in local businesses that depend on the oil and gas industry.

Those jobs are vital to the people who hold them and the families that depend on them. It’s baffling that Measure G activists are willing to sacrifice those jobs to ban something—fracking—that isn’t happening in SLO County.

Oil and gas produced here is consumed here in California—not exported abroad.

Shutting down oil and gas production here will increase our dependence on imported foreign oil from countries with poor environmental and human rights regulations. Oil and gas produced in SLO County is done so under the highest regulations in the world. Let’s keep it local. Vote no on Measure G! Joanie Brown San Luis Obispo

This seems to be the era of rank dishonesty in politics. Specifically on the right-wing Republican side.

I sometimes spend some of my downtime watching YouTube videos.

But it seems lately that every single video I watch is preceded by a No on Measure G ad. But what’s maddening is that the oil companies putting out these ads always state that Measure G will ban all oil drilling in the county, even old sites. However I happen to have in front of me the county voter information pamphlet, and within that booklet are all of the items on which we will be voting on Nov. 6. One, of course, is Measure G. In the Argument Against Measure G section they make this statement, “Measure G would shut down existing oil and gas production.” Yet in impartial analysis of Measure G it clearly states that, “The measure bans any new petroleum extraction but permits as a ‘nonconforming use’ any petroleum

extraction existing on the effective date of the measure,” (italics are mine).

I mean, how dishonest are these oil hounds anyway? Do they think we can’t read, or are just hoping that we won’t bother?

Please vote yes on Measure G. Let’s not let these charlatans wreck our county.

Jane Dawton Grover Beach

Vote no on Measure G

No, I do not own any oil company stock. Nor do I have relatives working in the oil business. People must be made aware that limiting oil production is helping Vladimir Putin and the Russians maintain their high price on oil production in Russia.

Our intelligence agency has unequivocally proven that Russia has been providing financial support to environmental concerns in the U.S. with the goal of thwarting any oil production in our country so they can maintain the high cost of their oil.

This action by the Russians and Vladimir Putin has been categorically proven by the CIA to be against the best interest of America.

So, if you support Measure G, you are being un-American and supporting Russia.

Just vote no!

The latest report of the U.N.’s top climate science panel (IPCC) released last week is an urgent call to take strong action now to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Current levels of warming have already reached 1 degree Celsius above preindustrial levels and will continue to rise with business as usual.

The Arctic region has already seen levels of warming above the global average, with dramatic results in increased levels of melting sea ice and leaking methane from thawing tundra.

The IPCC call to rapidly phase out the use of coal, oil, and gas is even more ambitious than what’s called for in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement that aimed to contain planetary warming to 2 degrees Celsius. What is most striking about the new IPCC report—apart from its implied call for a global climate Marshall Plan—is the contrast of its message to the priorities of the Trump administration, a loyal servant of the fossil fuel industry.

We still have a window of opportunity to make the necessary changes to prevent climate chaos. As Al Gore says, “We have LETTERS continued page 18

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY ANDREW CHRISTIE

Happy birthday to us T his seems like a good time to muse about why I love the Sierra Club.

I’ve been on staff here for nigh unto 15 years, doing my job every day, five days a week, so I actually have to sit down and think about that, as musing on such a question isn’t normally part of my job description.

Is it because we were founded by legendary conservationist John Muir and are the world’s oldest and largest grassroots environmental organization?

Is it because the Santa Lucia Chapter— my corner of the club, representing the Sierra Club’s 3,000 members in San Luis Obispo County—has accomplished the designation of three major wilderness areas (Santa Lucia, Machesna, Garcia) and protected urban open space (Bishop Peak), was instrumental in blocking gravel quarry plans on Morro Rock and creating an Environmental Quality Task Force that established San Luis Obispo’s Green Belt and the position of natural resources manager (all leading to that “Happiest City in America” moniker)?

Is it because we played a key role in getting Community Choice Energy policies into the general plan and Climate Action Plans of the city of San Luis Obispo and San Luis Obispo

County, assuring that our region would be able to participate in a program that is doing more than any other policy to transition California from fossil fuels to renewable energy?

Is it because, come Trump or high water, we are committed to helping establish a Chumash National Marine Sanctuary for the Central Coast?

Or is it because of the Sierra Club’s biggest mistake? The Santa Lucia Chapter, as I’ve noted previously, came into being in 1968 when the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant essentially blew up the club at the national level. The internal struggle that raged over the siting of the power plant was the first big clash between the club’s new breed of environmental activists and the 1950s-style “old guard” who had cut a deal with the utility without input from the local members most affected. In no other non-governmental organization would such a clash have been thinkable or possible, nevermind an outcome in which the local group that loudly protested the decision of the board of directors was given a charter for its own chapter. It was the club’s democratic structure that allowed for that very public struggle, and the creation of a new chapter for San Luis Obispo County.

LETTERS from page 16

Petroleum Institute’s own scientists reported decades ago that the continued dumping of greenhouse gases into the Earth’s atmosphere could have major impacts on our climate. They covered up those studies and instead developed a fake news program denying any connection between fossil fuels and global warming or climate change.

Why would Big Oil spend almost $6 million against Measure G unless they had big plans for our county? Does anyone think Chevron and Exxon actually care about us, our health, our water, our economy? They are repeatedly lying to your face with a brainwashing media tsunami of slick ads, mailers, and videos.

Are you offended, outraged, angry at this clear intent to deceive and manipulate? You should be. Their boldfaced lies and arrogance demonstrate for all to see an utter lack of integrity or trustworthiness.

Measure G is here because 20,473 locals put it on the ballot. It is here because we want to protect our precious water resources; we want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; we want to help slow down global climate change; we want a healthy San Luis Obispo County for ourselves, our children, and grandchildren. If you share these values, then please vote yes on G. Charles Varni Oceano

the solutions now … renewable sources are going to be cheaper than fossil fuels.”

Citizens of San Luis Obispo County can make an impact locally to move to a greener alternative by voting yes on Measure G in November’s upcoming general election. Measure G will protect our water by banning fracking and new oil well development. Vote for a healthy environment on Nov. 6.

Ted Hamilton San Luis Obispo

Big oil vs. SLO

The citizens of San Luis Obispo County are being subjected to a multimillion dollar propaganda campaign based on lies. Its focus is Measure G, the citizens’ initiative to ban new oil wells and prevent fracking. The big lie is that Measure G will shut down existing oil production in SLO county. The fact is that Measure G was written to clearly and specifically protect existing oil production and maintenance operations and to only ban new oil wells. How do I know this?

Because it is in black and white in sections B.8.a and C.9.a of the measure. I also helped to write it.

The No on G propaganda machine is spewing gushers of dirty, crude lies, most all of them derived from the big one—like Measure G will put hundreds out of work, millions in taxes will be lost, teachers and cops fired, etc. Hey wait! There is no shutdown of existing oil production, thus no jobs or taxes lost. People are blown away by the audacity of these lies. How can they get away with it? Well, they are Big Oil and they either bully or bribe you—and we are being digitally bullied folks.

The old guard prevailed—for about five minutes, before the winds of change that were reshaping the nation transformed the club into a bigger, stronger, more aggressive, less polite, activist organization (one that, a decade later, put in place a policy calling for the phased closure of all commercial reactors). This became an organization that connected habitat protection, environmental justice, labor rights, human rights, fair trade, clean energy, and climate change as part of the same struggle. The activists who lost on Diablo Canyon eventually won on everything else. Gotta love that.

Over the last 50 years, the Santa Lucia Chapter has acted without fear or favor, regularly offending friend and foe due to the fact that we stick to principles, not strategic maneuvers. That’s been the case in all the fights we’ve been through, from the proposed development of Hearst Ranch or the Cayucos Viewshed to the Los Osos and Morro Bay sewer projects, the Carrizo solar projects, Oceano Dunes, and the Cambria desal saga. Our participation in the process that designated California’s Marine Protected Areas almost got me beaten to a pulp one night outside the Morro Bay Vets Hall, courtesy of several large,

angry gentlemen who thought the marine protected areas we were advocating for were too big. Later, I got a phone call from an angry Fish and Game commissioner when we editorialized that the areas they eventually designated were too small.

All good reminders that if I wanted to be universally beloved, I’m in the wrong job.

(By the way: Don’t like where we stand on a particular issue? Join up and run for a seat on the chapter’s volunteer executive committee, my bosses. We elect a new committee every year.

That’s a big part of that aforementioned democratic structure.)

All that is why I love the Sierra Club, and why I think you should, too. An opportunity to show that love is coming up on Saturday, Oct. 27, our 50th anniversary celebration. “A Garden of Earthly Delights” will light up the SLO Botanical Garden from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.

It’s a fundraiser, but mostly it’s a party, because, right about now, we all need one.

The Shredder

Signs of drama

W

ith less than a month until the Nov. 6 election, those campaign sign kerfuffles are coming in hot. It’s that time of year when people start stealing their neighbors’ lawn signs, the complaints over campaign signs being erected on purportedly public property start raining down on city halls throughout SLO County, and angry selfrighteous residents hate-type emails to newspapers and county officials.

Ah, I love the smell of overblown reactions in the morning.

T. Keith Gurnee supporters are positively convulsing over the audacity of gigantic signs advertising the reelection of Mayor Heidi Harmon in (gasp!) residential neighborhoods.

One particularly pissed-off person was passionate enough to pen a pickled email to New Times calling the “HUGE nearbillboard-sized signs in neighborhoods … just more indication of this arrogant woman’s disdain for anything she doesn’t find convenient.” Wow, Richard Schmidt, tell us how you really feel.

“I should hope New Times is doing a story on the campaign of Heidi Harmon’s blatant flaunting of city law,” he dared us.

Well, yes, as a matter of fact we dared.

Only, it’s probably not the story you wanted us to write.

Gotcha Heidi! Not. Schmidt wasn’t just fuming to New Times, he was indignant about the

audacious red glow of liberally-sized Harmon signs (see what I did there?) on Nextdoor—a good place to cyber-spy on the some of the angriest residents in the happiest city on Earth.

“How nice that Mayor Harmon has found a new way to trash our neighborhoods,” Schmidt proclaimed from his Nextdoor soapbox. “How nice, too, that the staff you oversee have chosen to look the other way at your violation of community standards and laws.”

Uh, it might be best to double-check those pesky fact-a-roos before accusing city staff and the mayor of doing illegal things.

We wouldn’t want any fake news to get out there or anything. Luckily, you came to the right place! New Times is here for you!

Turns out, there is a sign ordinance and it does say that gigantic campaign signs in residential neighborhoods aren’t allowed. But, before you hitch those britches up in a display of selfsatisfaction, as usual things are a bit more complicated than all that. You see, this wee judicial body known as the Supreme Court of the United States made a decision in a case called Reed v. Town of Gilbert in June 2015. That opinion essentially states that contentbased sign regulations are a violation of the First Amendment.

Here’s the way that SLO City Manager Derek Johnson explained it to a city resident who was looking for campaign sign

code clarification: “This case prohibits a city from imposing time, place, and manner restrictions on signage simply because of what the sign says.”

So, the city’s sign ordinance is essentially unenforceable and violates the First Amendment, therefore the city isn’t enforcing it.

Technically, Harmon’s campaign signs are legit. Why hasn’t the city (or the county for that matter) updated its ordinance? That’s the real question.

Odile Ayral—who joins Schmidt in his love to hate Harmon haze—called the police about the signs and reported the issue to code enforcement! “I have toyed with the idea of spray painting the sign on Chorro with black paint, which might bring attention to how Harmon is happy to break the law, but I’m not sure it would be legal either,” she wrote to Schmidt in an email.

Yeah, um, actually, that’s called vandalism.

Just ask the person who threw Christmas ornaments filled with poopcolored paint at re-elect Mayor Jim Hill signs in Arroyo Grande! Was it satisfying? Probably. Hill is soooo annoying. If that person (or people) gets caught, will the fines counteract that satisfaction? Depends on the punishment.

According to Hill’s Facebook page, the paint also damaged public and private property—and luckily, volunteers helped the mayor repaint his very basic yellow signs with black block letters.

“Hummm, I haven’t seen any of Jim’s opponent signs damaged. ‘Juz sayin,’” wrote Mark Wampler on Hill’s Facebook page.

Ooh, a veiled insinuation about Hill’s

challenger Caren Ray, who wrote this on her Facebook page after she found out about the poopy-paint: “This kind of behavior saddens and disgusts me. I urge everyone to be respectful of all candidates and their signs and remember that the best way to show support is to make sure you vote on November 6.”

It’s true folks.

So why all the sign stealing? Ray and Hill supporters have both reported their signs being stolen off their front lawns. Same for Gurnee and Harmon supporters. And why all the complaints about supposed signs on public property?

Here’s just one: Atascadero resident Leland Collins was just convinced that city property was being used to advocate for certain City Council residents and sent New Times a note complete with assessor’s parcel numbers. Turns out, he was wrong about that parcel number. The signs are on private property.

Everyone is just so cocksure that there’s a conspiracy on the “other side” to gain the upper hand. Why can’t you simply let people have their opinions? This is America, dammit. We are all entitled to our opinions—whether you like them or not.

Shout them from the rooftops, from the garden, from the balconies, from the fences, and from the dirt-covered surfaces of vacant lots. Say it loud and proud with a gigantic signs in your front yard. And then shut up and vote. ∆ The Shredder is full of opinions at shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Yeah, frontman and songwriter-in-chief Pete Bernhard doesn’t even need to sing the word “slave.” You know exactly what he’s talking about.

“We used take pills PHOTO COURTESY OF REVEREND PEYTON’S BIG DAMN BAND and hope to die/ Sing ourselves a suicidal lullaby/ Nobody drivin’ and I’m passenger-side/ You made me the master of the long goodbye,” he sings on the second verse.

A lot of these songs on the new record are about youthful recklessness, loss, and those who remain behind. On “Bad Idea,” he sings, “Tears in the ocean/ Alone there out at sea/ We always were so stupid/ And so stubborn, you and me/ BIG VOICE, VINTAGE GUITARS Country-blues trio We were drinking all Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band plays The Siren on Oct. that poison/ Hoping 24, touring in support of their awesome new album, Poor someone else would die/ Until Payday.

he genius of The Devil Makes Three’s music is how they boil each song down to its essence, cutting away any extraneous and unnecessary elements until it’s a polished punkgrass poem. Take for instance the title track to their new album, Chains Are Broken.

The revved-up three-minute gallop drives straight through the seedy part of town with a protagonist who’s reclaiming his freedom from a toxic friend.

Welcome to life’s underbelly filled with drinking, drug use, fighting, gambling, and anything else you can think of.

Your guide is Bernhard himself, who understands the futility of it all but also that slim shot at redemption and hope. On “Pray For Rain,” the chorus goes like this: “Well everybody has their price/ Is that

true, is that right/ Who is our enemy/ Hey it’s you, tomorrow me/ Well that wind is blowing hard outside/ And the fires of war they still burn so bright/ I’m praying for some rain tonight.”

Life’s capricious, inexplicable, and it can turn on you like a rabid dog.

Bernhard and The Devil Makes Three simply grab the dog by the scruff of its neck and hang on to the wild ride, hoping for a positive outcome.

Bernhard spoke to New Times via phone from his home in Vermont where he explained why he likes his home state’s approach to marijuana: “It’s illegal to sell it, but you can grow it, possess it, and smoke it. It’s basically decriminalized, but by making it illegal to sell, it’s less corporate. It’s kind of too bad what’s happening in California.

It was a cottage industry, but all the small farmers have to compete with corporations now.”

Bernhard lives about 5 miles from his bassist Lucia Turino, but banjo and guitar player Cooper McBean lives in Austin. Even though they’re on the road more than half the year, that doesn’t stop them from putting out a new album every two or three years. They also recently added a drummer, something the famously percussive band eschewed on its first few albums.

“We’re in separate cities but we see each other as much as we don’t—we’re at home the minority of the time,” Bernhard noted.

“I don’t find it possible to write on the road. We have a pretty hectic schedule, so I usually take about a year to write new songs, and we’ll road test them. We’ve also been touring with a drummer for a couple of years now. Our sound has expanded.

A lot of our songs work fine as a trio but some really need percussion.”

Most of TDM3 songs clock in at a brief three minutes. Why so short?

“Two of our biggest influences as a band are old country music and punk rock—two genres that don’t waste any time,” he

PHOTO COURTESY OF NEIL KRUG said. “Cooper and I grew up listening to the oldies country station and going to punk shows. Sometimes a whole punk show was only 25 minutes long! We like to keep it tight. As a songwriter, if you give me too much time I tend to say too much, so when we go into the studio I’m cutting things out, not adding things in. The thought is always, how can we say more with less?”

And what about the new album’s theme of loss?

Check out the original musical Danny, Come Home, playing Friday, Oct. 19, and Saturday, Oct. 20 (7 p.m.; all ages) at SLO’s Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. “It’s the story of a small town that’s split in half over a homegrown controversy: Who gets to keep a runaway dog?” explained co-writer Michael Kaplan.

“It’s also about the way rumors and public opinions spiral out of control, and how people fall in love and reinvent themselves on the internet. Above all, it’s a classic musical comedy tale of boy meets girl meets dog.

And it is very much a family musical.” The music was written by local pianist Mark Pietri. Should be fun!

Michael Kaplan, creator of the then musical-in-the-works, Danny, Come Home, was about halfway though the writing process when he got the online advertisement up. Kaplan only received three responses to that ad. He knew it was meant to be when he opened Mark Pietri’s response.

“What the hell are you doing writing a musical without a composer?” Pietri wrote. And so a creative partnership and friendship was born.

Not only are both gents based in the San Luis Obispo area, but the show itself is inspired by a local canine ownership controversy that went down in 2010, when an Australian shepherd, Annie, was adopted through the county’s Animal Services, only to have her original owner show up to claim her shortly after she went home with her new family. Enough time had passed that, legally, the new owners didn’t have to actually return Annie the dog.

Something in the air Levity Academy holds first Halloween aerial show

F

or two nights, the creepiest, scariest ghouls, goblins, zombies, and ghosts in San Luis Obispo won’t be hiding under the bed or tucked away in a closet, but up, high in the sky. Just look.

On Oct. 19 and 20, Levity Academy will host its first ever Halloween and in-house aerial arts performance, Welcome Stranger.

Gigi Penton, the former co-owner of Suspended Motion Aerial Arts, and Lei Lei de Kirby, an aerial performer and aerial yoga teacher trainer, opened Levity Academy, an aerial arts and yoga studio, in April on Suburban Road.

The Welcome Stranger aerial spectacular runs 90 minutes (including intermission) and will feature 10 aerialists performing on silks, lyra, ladder, rope, hammock, and more to live music with the illumination of a new lighting system. Eve Riot, a drag queen who performs locally with SLO Queerdos, will emcee the show and serve as the fun factor in what will otherwise be a scary experience for all.

“We wanted to take it just into the realm of creepy,” Penton said of the show. “All of the numbers have something different so there’s a surprise in it, like, ‘Oh, they’re happy clowns! No! They’re creepy killer clowns!’ There’s a twist in it somewhere in each piece.”

The show is recommended for an audience age 13 and up, although Penton said parents should use their own discretion with bringing younger children to watch the performance.

“My costume is going to be one of the creepy ones with a doll coming out of my stomach,” said Penton, who is actually pregnant. “I’m going to be a zombie with arms coming out of my stomach. My daughter couldn’t handle it, but my friend’s daughter who is the same age would love it.”

Other performers will depict black cats, the aforementioned clowns, a group of blood covered murderers, stalkers, ghosts, two performers moving as one, and more.

“The choreography is really dynamic,” Penton said.

“Everyone has their own take. The silk pieces have drops, static movement, sequences, the whole nine yards.”

Looking ahead, Levity Academy will also offer a three-day intensive aerial yoga teacher training, taught by de Kirby from Nov. 2 to 4. Shortly after that, aerial yoga classes will be a part of the studio’s regular

Just hanging out

The Welcome Stranger aerial spectacular will be on stage at Levity Academy in SLO on Oct. 19 and 20 at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.; seating is first come, first served). Tickets are $22 and include light, seasonal refreshments. The space has 48 actual seats available, and after that it’s standing room only. For tickets and more information, visit levityacademy.com.

weekly offerings.

Penton said that the name of the Halloween performance is both a nod to the creepy and popular Netflix show Stranger Things as well as an invitation for people to check out the new studio.

“Since it’s our first show, we’re welcoming all of the new strangers into our space,” she said. ∆ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is flying high. Contact her at rcooley@ newtimesslo.com.

Glen This is one of those films I was glad not to know too much about. It’s better to let its surprises unfold around you, and man was I surprised. The whole “seven strangers in a hotel” setup sounded like an Agatha Christie bit, but this film goes wildly and surprisingly off the rails. If you need some touchstones, think the Coen brothers (Blood Simple, Barton Fink), Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces), and Quentin Tarantino (The Hateful Eight).

The hero of the story is Darlene Sweet, a living-paycheck-to-paycheck lounge singer, who we learn almost made it big. Of all the characters, she’s the most sympathetic, though Father Flynn is a close second. He’s losing his memory, and Bridges delivers a very effective performance. Erivo as Sweet gets to show off her amazing voice, and the film’s soundtrack is filled with great Motown sounds. It’s a stylish, clever thriller with a wallop of an ending. Aside from Sweet, no one seems to be who they say they are.

Hamm is great as the supposed vacuum cleaner salesman. He’s too slick to be a lowly traveling salesman. Johnson’s Emily Summerspring looks like a hippy, but it’s not peace and love she’s selling, and who’s the tied-up girl (Cailee Spaeny) in her room? As good as all the performances are, the standout for me is Miles Miller (Lewis Pullman), who plays the front desk man. Even he’s harboring some dark secrets, and now that I think of it,

DARK CHARISMA Chris Hemsworth stars as Charles Manson-like cult leader Billy Lee, who rains down holy hell on the El Royale hotel.

Billy Lee right in the face, which means he did a great job creating a smarmy, too powerful trickster with an eye for young girls. This is exactly the type of movie that you don’t want too much given away beforehand, so without revealing more, I will say that it will keep you guessing at what this ill-fated group in a creepily remote hotel will encounter next. None of it is very pretty, but it sure is fun.

Glen After the opening setup—a flashback 10 years prior—the film settles into a pretty slow beginning.

It’s all dialogue and set-to-simmer intrigue. Just when I thought to myself, “This film’s dragging,” the unexpected happens. That sets in motion a series of events, but before all that unfolds, we see—Rashomon-style—the same event from several characters’ perspectives. That’s some crafty filmmaking, and with that, the hook was set and the film reeled me in. Quick violence, on-a-dime plot twists, and the crazy over-thetop ending follows, with a fairly sweet denouement.

This is definitely a film I’d watch again, and I won’t soon forget Pullman’s performance.

He hasn’t been in a lot of films, but he sure is good in this one.

he’s pretty sympathetic too. One reason the film worked was it was about bad people, but not irredeemable people— well, except for Billy Lee, the cult leader, who Hemsworth plays with a menacing, Charles Manson-like charisma. When I first came out of the film, I wasn’t sure how much I liked it, but I have to say it grew on me over the course of a day or so. Some viewers might think it was overdone. I think that was director Goddard’s whole point.

Anna I’d heard this film in promotional spots at the top of a few true crime podcasts I frequent, so the theme of “not everyone is who they say they are” was well drilled into my head going into it.

But the film managed to surprise me nonetheless. It didn’t turn out to be as much of a twist-turned adventure as The Hateful Eight or Murder on the Orient Express for me, but like you said, this one grew on me as the dust settled in the days after viewing. Bridges is a personal favorite, and while friends found it quite amusing that it was him I was there to watch and not the almost always openshirted Hemsworth, he didn’t disappoint as the flawed but sympathetic Father Flynn. The character of Miles was also a standout for me and one with more secrets than anyone can guess. Erivo’s voice is powerful, soulful, and a wonderful backdrop that sets the mood for a dark and mysterious tale. Johnson and Spaeny held court as the brooding and beautiful mysterious pair, each with their own agenda. I wanted to punch Hemsworth’s

who was nominated for a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948.

This film does more than just showcase a writer on screen hunched over a desk with a furrowed brow scribbling on paper.

It does an impressive job of keeping the audience captivated by the novelist’s metamorphosis from a wife kept in the dark to challenging her husband for the rights to her writing and freedom.

A year before Gabrielle turned 20 years old, she lived at home in the countryside with her mother and father. Her parents found themselves in financial disarray and worried about Gabrielle’s future—they wanted her to marry a prominent literary figure who also happens to be a family friend.

In comes, on first encounter, what seems to be the irresistible and wellmannered Henry Gauthier-Villars (Dominic West). Gauthier-Villars goes by Willy, his

pen name. Willy is a literary brand—as he would put it—and employs generous writers so, after his approval, Willy can put his name on their work.

Once Willy and Gabrielle wed, she’s thrust into Willy’s lavish Parisian world that’s striving to be over-the-top but topples over as extremely dull. Gabrielle isn’t into the city life or the constant infidelity that Willy charmingly explains is just something men do.

Of course Willy’s lifestyle depletes the couple’s funds, which also doesn’t allow him to pay his writers, so he looks to the last person in front of him, Gabrielle, who writes a novel based on her experience in school, changing the main character’s name to Claudine. Willy doesn’t like it on first read because the writing is too feminine, but when he has nothing left to profit on, he decides to run with Gabrielle’s

makes sense. Yes, the film’s pacing is a bit uneven, its story is a bit too unbelievable, but this it pure entertainment. You just have to go with it.

Anna It definitely has a change of pace at just the right moment, and it doesn’t fall into the trap of letting the strings of the characters’ individual stories get tied up in knots when they converge.

It’s deft filmmaking to be sure, and the moody feel, mystery, and Coen brothersand Tarantino-esque elements don’t feel like mere mimicry. It also escapes the pitfall of some films like this in that even though the mystery is over it would be totally enjoyable to watch again. Even if you know what’s coming, there’s still enough story and talent on the screen to be entertaining. It has a dramatic and over-the-top end scene that’s a lot of fun, but for me the payoff was learning who Miles is and why he is who he is. The characters may not all be good guys, but they’re not all bad guys either. It’s juicy and surprising, the cast was a great ensemble, and the mood was set just right for mystery. If you like to be kept guessing, Bad Times at the El Royale is a fun, brutal romp through the lives of some pretty strange and dark people forced together for a long, rainy night, high on the hill. ∆ Split Screen is written by Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey and his wife, Anna.

Wait ’til Netflix has it NOTHING ........ Don’t waste your time story with a few edits and, of course, his name on the cover.

The Claudine story becomes a cultural sensation with the female population.

The couple makes their financial success on Claudine and when Gabrielle doesn’t want to write a sequel, Willy locks her up, demanding that she “write.”

This is when Gabrielle changes her name to Colette and her overall being transforms. Although she was never one to shy away from asking questions or challenging her insufferable husband, Colette is not only doing what she wants, she’s also exploring relationships with women. It’s something that Willy is not opposed to because she’s sleeping with women and not men. It’s a concept that the film is constantly hitting on as Colette can’t do certain things her husband does because she’s a female.

Sexism, constant betrayal, and Willy’s money-driven schemes put a strong wedge between the couple. And while Willy believes that he’s making a change in the literary scene, he forgets his mantra: “The hand that holds the pen holds history.”

Colette has a firm grasp on hers as she begins to explore herself, with the help of her lover Mathilde de Morny or “Missy” (Denise Gough), in a grossly sexist and male dominated world.

Colette does more than demonstrate the novelist’s successes; Westmoreland and his late husband Richard Glatzer depict the metamorphosis of a woman’s sexuality and overcoming sexism. Knightly impressively depicts Colette’s abrasive fights, relationships, lavish lifestyle, and internal battles that lead her to reclaim what’s hers—her life as a writer and artist.

Colette’s fight for creative ownership of

her work and gender roles pushes her to overcome societal constraints and sexual oppression, and revolutionize literature.

AN ARTIST EMERGES Keira Knightley stars as French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, who had to reclaim her literary legacy from her husband, Henry Gauthier-Villars (Dominic West), in the biopic Colette.

MOVIES from page 44 daring of a trip into space during the analog era.

The film opens in the cockpit with Armstrong in an experimental plane designed to pierce Earth’s atmosphere, reach zero gravity in near space, and then descend back to the ground.

It’s noisy, shaky, and chaotic, and it gives you a sense of both the wonder and sheer terror of early space travel. The space race between the Soviets and the U.S. had an existentialist undercurrent—the Cold War was in full force— and the Russians were beating us at every step.

It was essential that we reach the moon first.

Back on the ground, Armstrong was wrestling with his own demons. With the death of his young daughter Karen (Lucy Stafford) to cancer, Armstrong harbored a secret fatalism.

He knew the danger of space travel was real.

He had lost colleagues, but stoicism was paramount. Gosling manages to convey all these complications within a man of few words. His Armstrong is intensely focused, and the loss of his daughter drives him deeper into his work.

Armstrong’s wife, Janet, is a big part of the story, and Foy is amazing in the role. Janet, too, has to be stoic—she knows her husband might not come back. There’s an amazing scene in which she forces her husband to sit down with their two boys and explain to them the very real dangers. It really is miraculous that the mission was successful.

Anyone with a passing interest in the history of the Apollo Mission will recognize the other players. Pablo Schreiber plays Jim Lovell, Corey Stoll is Buzz Aldrin, and Shea Whigham is Gus Grissom. Jason Clarke stars as Armstrong’s closest friend and colleague Edward Higgins White, but Armstrong even keeps him at arm’s

length. He was very much an internal person.

Even though viewers should know the outcome, there’s plenty of tension throughout the film. The spacecraft are rickety, the technology antiquated, but the heroics are timeless. At the end of the film, the three returning astronauts are quarantined. It’s fascinating to think that three men spent eight days in space, that two of them walked on the moon, and that when they returned they were locked in a glass box with very pedestrian-looking hotel furnishings.

What a dichotomy! Of course, there was nothing glamorous about early space travel.

As Ryan Gosling noted during filming, it was less a movie about a man going to the moon than it was about a man landing safely back on Earth. After his moon walk, Neil Armstrong never returned to space. (141 min.)

FORTY YEARS LATER Jamie Lee Curtis reprises her role as Laurie Strode, who 40 years ago escaped masked killer Michael Myers. When he returns in Halloween (2018), she’s ready for him.

MOVIES from page 47 no different. Sure, the premise is ‘cute,’ but there’s not much substance here, and what is here seems like a strange message for its targeted PG audience.

The film opens with a sweeping musical number about the happy Yeti village. Migo loves his ice- and rock-filled paradise, and he’s training to replace his father, Dorgle (Danny DeVito), as the village gong ringer, a venerated position since the “Light Snail” (aka the Sun) won’t cross the sky if the gong doesn’t ring. Every morning, Dorgle is launched via a giant slingshot headfirst into the metal gong, then the Light Snail illuminates the Yeti world. It’s one of dozens of primitive myths and laws that Yetis must follow.

The maker of the laws is the Stonekeeper (Common), the Yeti leader who settles all disputes by conferring with the stones, upon which hieroglyphs are written. They’re the evidence that the Yeti village floats on clouds and that below them is nothingness. The stones also state that Smallfoot doesn’t exist, so when Migo overshoots the gong on a practice try and far from the village sees a plane crash and a parachuting Smallfoot survivor, he rushes back to the village to tell everyone

Sex and the City 2

When? 2010 What’s it rated? R Where’s it available? YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play

This movie is garbage. It’s trash. It should be taken off the internet, strapped in a rocket, blown into space, and sucked into a black hole, where it can marinate with all the other mysterious “matter” NASA can’t figure out.

OK, maybe that’s a little harsh. But as a huge fan of the original Sex and the City (1998-2004) series, this movie shattered any hopes I once held of Sex and the City being a timeless classic.

Sure, the original Sex and the City— my comfort TV, my most simple cliché feminine pleasure—had its issues.

There’s the problematic idea that four women living in New York City are all white, as are all their friends, all their acquaintances, and nearly every other person they talk to, talk about, or sleep with over the course of six years. Then there’s the time Samantha (Kim Cattrall) repeatedly refers to trans women as “trannies,” and the episode Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) calls bisexuality a “layover on the way to Gay Town.”

And let’s not forget the time Samantha proudly states that a man should definitely be running this country, and a hot one, too. Girl power!

But despite its sometimes outdated and cringeworthy attempts at humor, I love it. Its portrayal of female friendship

that Smallfoot exists and that the stone claiming they don’t is—gasp!—wrong!

This is tantamount to heresy, and Migo is banished until he’s ready to admit he didn’t see a Smallfoot. Essentially, the film’s a subtle indictment of religion, which controls the masses, demands ignorance, and condemns critical thinking.

A few of the Yetis are part of a secret Smallfoot-believing faction and soon Migo himself is part of the group headed up by the Stonekeeper’s daughter Meechee (Zendaya) who’s also Migo’s potential love interest.

There’s also a side message about how it’s wrong to sensationalize and exploit— Percy Patterson is a nature filmmaker with rock-bottom ratings. He’s willing to lie about finding a Yeti to generate more viewers.

When he “discovers” Migo, he has to learn the hard lesson that it’s better to protect than exploit him.

Will your 10-year-old “get” either message? Probably not, but there are a few cloying musical numbers to distract, and a lot of color and action throughout. I may not be the right audience, but your kids probably are, and that’s the idea, right?

Eventually, Migo returns to the village with Percy, proving once and for all that Smallfoot exists. However, a lie repeated

enough times can become truth, and to save the Yeti village from descending into stone-rejecting chaos, the Stonekeeper decides to show Migo “The Secret,” taking him to a cave with wall paintings showing fighting and fear between Smallfoot and the Yetis that existed before the Yetis retreated to the top of the Himalayas. The stones keep the Yetis ignorant but also safe, warning them not to go down to Smallfoot territory.

Migo decides he’ll go along with The Secret and goes before the village and claims Percy is a kind of yak and that Smallfoot doesn’t exist after all.

Meanwhile, Percy is suffering from altitude sickness, and Meechee and her Smallfootbelieving society aren’t willing to continue living in ignorance, so she takes Percy below the clouds.

Now both humans and Yetis are forced to confront their coexistence, but that doesn’t mean they can actually coexist.

Mayhem ensues and fear runs rampant.

Will violence return between the two species? Seeing as how this is a PG animated children’s film, the answer is obvious.

The film’s pat happy ending is that truth is good, that Yetis and people can be friends, and Percy learns his lesson

SPLIT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS Starr Carter (Amandla Stenberg, center) lives in an impoverished black community but attends a wealthy, mostly white prep school. She witnesses her childhood friend slain by a police officer, leading to pressure between her communities, in The Hate U Give. and saves the day. If you’ve got young kids, maybe they’ll be entertained for a couple hours. I was pretty bored, and the film still feels like it’s pointing out the gullibility that organized religion requires and the judgmentalism it breeds. (96 min.)

Pick

Cooper takes a sweeping look at the rise and fall of stardom, the shallowness of the entertainment industry, creativity, substance abuse, family dynamics, and romance.

It’s a stunning achievement, and I was most surprised by Lady Gaga, whose acting chops were impressive. I’ve never been a big fan of her music, but her voice is undeniably stunning. Almost every time she sang, the tears welled up. To see the fashion icon with her natural hair color and little to no makeup made her more vulnerable and sympathetic.

This film is certainly Bradley Cooper’s baby, and for a directorial debut, it’s beyond incredible. Perhaps he’s been in front of the camera for so long that he simply understands what’s needed behind it.

It’s been driven into Ally that despite her talent, she doesn’t have the looks for stardom. There’s an amazing scene where she overhears her father (a terrific Andrew Dice Clay) explaining to his friends that her looks prevent her from success. When Jack wanders into a bar after a gig looking

for a much-needed drink, he happens upon Ally singing “La Vie En Rose” and is immediately smitten by her looks and talent. Later that night, she surprises him by making up a song about him on the spot.

Jack gives her the confidence to believe in herself, to feel love, to feel good enough.

That’s what every good romantic relationship should do, and seeing that message so deftly brought to the big screen is in part why I love this film. It’s got enough heart to make the heartbreak feel real. Yes, the film is definitely a tragedy, but it’s also heartbreakingly beautiful.

Sam Elliott stars as Jackson’s brother and manager, Bobby, who’s lived in Jackson’s shadow and does his best to staunch Jackson’s self-inflicted wounds.

Their relationship is tenuous at best. In addition to his substance abuse, Jack’s hearing is going, and he’s not interested in following his doctor’s orders to wear earpieces when performing for fear it MOVIES continued page 49

OLD BUT NOT DEAD Robert Redford star as Forrest Tucker, who escaped from San Quentin Prison at age 70 and embarked on a series of robberies, in the true story The Old Man & the Gun.

Arts MOVIES from page 48 will disconnect him from his audience.

He doesn’t seem to realize his drug use already does that.

His most important lesson to Ally is to be authentic, so when he sees her manager Rez (Rafi Gavron) changing her appearance, adding dancers and choreography to her show, he’s artistically offended, though Ally perceives it as jealousy. They’re disconnecting just when they need each other most.

Like all substance abusers, Jack’s behavior is unforgivable—he says terrible things to Ally and embarrasses her with his loutish actions. Their love, however, is real, and she struggles between being supportive and enabling.

There’s so much going on in this film, and the fact that Cooper is able to weave all of these emotionally potent threads into such a heartrendingly beautiful tapestry is a triumph. I predict some Oscar nods for this one. See it in the theater; bring your own tissues—this one’s a tearjerker. (135 min.)

VENOM What’s it rated? PG-13 What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Downtown Centre,

At the Movies Galaxy, Park, Stadium 10 Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) directs Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, a former investigative journalist whose TV show is dedicated to taking down evil corporations and, later, becomes the host for an alien symbiote named Venom. The film is an adaptation of the Marvel Comics series featuring the anti-hero Venom.

The character and its origin story is a small step in the Marvel Universe but it’s not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—superhero films independently produced by Marvel Studios. The film is also just a chip in what could be a greater origin story for Venom, the amorphous, liquid-like creature that requires a host, usually a human, to bond with for its survival. Oddly, Venom isn’t tied to Spiderman … yet.

Brock is an investigative journalist who rides his motorcycle around busy San Francisco to report on malicious corporations and expose them on his TV show. He’s assigned a puff piece on Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), the founder of The Life Foundation, a research facility that engages in unethical experimentation with aspirations for world domination.

Brock’s boss basically tells him he can’t expose Drake but, being the reporter he is, he tries to do the opposite of that.

Brock’s fiancée, Anne Weying (Michelle Williams), is a lawyer whose firm represents The Life Foundation, so obviously Brock snoops through her files to dig up some dirt on Drake and his foundation. When it’s time for the interview, Brock tries to expose Drake, which leads the reporter to lose his job, his apartment, and fiancée.

He’s basically blacklisted from journalism throughout the city and is reduced to looking for dishwasher gigs. He’s about to swear off reporting when whistleblower Dr. Dora Skirth (Jenny Slate) explains Drake is trying to mix humans with a number of alien forms called symbiotes. Skirth sneaks Brock into the facility and he becomes infected with the symbiote.

Unlike many of Drake’s trial runs, Brock’s merge with the symbiote is successful as the alien-like

Pick

parasite introduces himself as Venom.

The two decide to work together to stop Drake—who also gets infected by a symbiote—from bringing more of these creatures to earth with the intention to end the human race.

While we’ve seen Hardy really get into the role of his characters like Max Rockatamsky (Mad Max), Bane (The Dark Knight Rises), or Eames (Inception), he just isn’t that convincing as washed-up-loser Eddie Brock. Maybe it’s the weird accent or the match-up with Michelle Williams, which I wasn’t buying either.

Despite that, the action scenes were full of intense in-your-face punches, cars smashing into each other, and people being flung into the air. While it doesn’t reach a level of gory intensity as Deadpool does, people getting their heads bit off and eaten is pretty up there. There’s also an incredible scene where Venom is fighting another symbiote and as the two duke it out you see the faces of the humans underneath the parasites’ skin—wait, don’t call Venom a parasite; he gets very offended.

The overall connection between Venom and Brock is interesting as Venom takes over Brock’s body and the two realize the extent of their superpower. They have their humorous moments when Brock tries to fight the transformation. It feels similar to that of Jim Carry’s struggle in The Mask, but the two find a deeper understanding in each other, as both are losers on their respected planets.

The film lacks a cohesive and strong storyline for the first introduction of the Marvel character, but I will admit I’ll be watching for the sequel as the clip at the end of the movie lays the groundwork for someone all too familiar to Venom.

Truth is, he says, he prefers red wine, become a winemaker and was accepted but if it has to be white—then viognier is to UC Davis.

Eberle graduated food and wine history education to go and moved to Paso Robles, searching for with it. This event, spearheaded by the just the right soil to plant the grapes he San Luis Obispo Wine History Project, wanted to grow. is focused on Ian McPhee (of McPhee’s Eberle brought science to the area, Grill) and Gary Eberle (Eberle Winery).

became the chef at Ian’s in Cambria that year, where he used recently published cookbooks by famed chefs such as Waters to experiment. According to Eberle—a self-described food guy—it was one of the best restaurants on the coast.

“For dinner, in 1973, the best, most consistent place for dinner was Denny’s,” Eberle says, adding that Ian’s changed all that. “He says he didn’t know how to cook. I don’t know how much of cooking is intrinsic. … But Ian’s was spectacular. …

He was one of the first chefs that we had.”

With that experimentation came the hunt for locally sourced ingredients—something McPhee describes as difficult in the 1980s, especially in Cambria, which wasn’t on any of the normal delivery routes. He found local goat cheese and crème fraîche, a squash guy, and other local farmers, but meat was a little more difficult. “[We were] trying to source a duck, and there was no duck around. So we were sourcing it from a guy in San Francisco and he would send it down on the Greyhound bus,” McPhee says, adding that he would make the trip into San Luis Obispo to pick it up and the boxes would be dripping with melted ice. There was also someone in Salinas who they sourced wild boar from. “It was a pretty wild time for those kinds of things.”

Together, Agran says, the chef and the winemaker started the first winemaker dinners on the coast—purposefully pairing wine and food together for the

first time in SLO County.

As I finish off the last of the barbera, I think about how little I know about wine, food, and its history. Eating food created

by McPhee and drinking wine created

by Eberle while listening to them talk about the past, and all the steps that led to this moment, is real. It’s not just an interesting story in a magazine about something I will never experience.

It’s something I can experience again.

I can visit McPhee’s Grill in Templeton for a meal or go wine tasting at Eberle Winery in Paso Robles and think about this meal and the people connected to it. About how two young people contributed to change the course of a small rural area of California 30 years ago, and how delicious the aftermath of experimentation can taste. ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is salivating for the future at clanham@newtimesslo.com.

SLO County Farmers’ Markets celebrates 40 years of abundance

I

n the beginning there were few— vendors, that is. The year was 1978.

The campy soundtrack from Grease was heating up the charts. It was a sunny Saturday morning, and a handful of local farmers gathered at the old Young’s Giant Food parking lot on Broad Street in SLO. They didn’t know it then, but they were making history. This was SLO’s first farmers’ market.

Kind of baffling to think of SLO without the plentiful stands brimming with fresh produce, cheeses, olive oil, meats, nuts, and lavender, right?

Well, it wasn’t always this way. Before there were more than a dozen markets across the county, there was just one.

This one.

“It was very small the first couple of years, maybe 10 or 15 local farmers.

Someone would bring their lemons, someone else would just sell beets, someone brought jam, another brought fish and fresh baked bread, and my daughter—about 8 years old at the time— was selling our radishes,” SLO County Farmers’ Market Association Executive Director Peter Jankay said.

GREEN THUMB Farmer Ralph Johnson gabs with the crowd as he sells produce and plants at the Downtown SLO Thursday night farmers’ market. His greenery has been tucked into plates at Gardens of Avila, Honeymoon Cafe in Pismo Beach, and Wild Ginger in Cambria, among other local hot spots.

Restaurants and chefs rely on local farmers’ markets just as much as area families.

Into the green

The San Luis Obispo County Farmers’ Market Association (SLOFMA) is a mutual benefit, not-for-profit corporation. As a mutual benefit organization, it serves two groups: It provides several market places for family owned and operated farms, and it provides fresh quality products directly to consumers. Currently, SLOFMA operates five weekly markets throughout the county. Go to slocountyfarmers.org for more information.

produce and community spirit this month, an impressive legacy that shows no sign of slowing down. A celebration kicked off this past Saturday hosted at the World Market parking lot farmers’ market on Madonna Road. When you’ve been around this long, you’ve got to take a moment to pause and look back. Of course, farmers’ market fans celebrate by stocking up on local greens and shooting back a few shots of wheatgrass.

Long gone are the days when a few bales of hay served as the telltale sign of a sleepy farmers’ market happening in a local parking lot.

“We didn’t have thousands of dollars in sales, but it was exciting,” Jankay added.

“People would just walk around and there’d be nothing but good feelings.”

Since that fateful day back in 1978, the SLO Farmers’ Market Association has grown to manage five markets across the county: Wednesday mornings and Saturday afternoons in Arroyo Grande, Thursday afternoons in Morro Bay, Saturday mornings in SLO, and—the most famous of all—Thursday Night Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market, which has grown to encompass dozens of hot food and barbecue vendors, craft beer, fancy ice cream, meats, live entertainment, community outreach, and more.

If you’re a longtime local, you probably don’t shop this market weekly, but I bet it’s the first place you take out-of-town guests looking to savor the many textures of regional color.

Of course, there are 10 other markets across the county selling everything from cider to kiwi to locally made hot sauce, too.

When I asked my friends which vendors they liked best from SLO’s many markets, I was flooded with responses (so many, in fact, it made my head spin and my stomach growl). Peacock Farms tomatoes, Good Tides prepared goodies, Gracious Greens, the Vremery vegan cheese stand, the mother-daughter duo at Perez Farms,

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS The SLO County Farmers’ Market Association turned 40 years old this month, and, with five markets across the county, shows no sign of slowing down.

The first ever market was hosted at Young’s Giant Foods on Broad Street back in 1978.

Pepper Creek, Julia’s Juices, Riconada Dairy, Eufloria’s roses, Hayashi farms for juicy strawberries, and Batista Farms for “the freshest salad greens ever.” The list went on (and on, and on, and on).

From freshly laid eggs covered in pretty brown freckles to multi-colored bell peppers that look like stained glass, to the sweetest-ever-crave-worthy dry-

farmed watermelon, everyone has their favorite market and their favorite market fix. I personally get a major dopamine hit every time I spot super seasonal squash blossoms from the Saturday morning SLO market, which I promptly fill full of goat cheese and fry in a crust of Italian seasoning, egg, and panko breadcrumbs.

Could there be a more delicious way to boost the local economy and fill your need for fresh, natural food? Plus—and I should say—the farmers’ market is a far better place to meet new friends (or soul mates) than a dingy old bar.

Just ask the “three wise shoppers.”

“There are three consumers who went to the farmers’ market in 1978,” Jankay said, “and have continued coming to the SLO Saturday morning to this day.”

Sure, these dedicated shoppers are no doubt thankful for their favorite farmers’ markets for continuing to set up shop, day after day, year after year. But, I’d argue that the farmers—especially on this epic anniversary—are just as stoked. This is how, in turn, they feed their own families.

One family feeds another, and the cycle continues.

Four decades in, and this symbiotic relationship continues to flourish in a seemingly mundane place: the street.

As Joni Mitchell says, they “paved paradise and put up a parking lot,” but in SLO County, at least, those lots have shown every indication of remaining green. ∆ Hayley Thomas Cain is dreaming of squash blossoms. She can be reached at hthomas@newtimesslo.com.

H AYLEY’S P ICKS The little farm that could

What a difference a few years make when you have enough sunshine, soil, water, and love to give! Just four years ago, SLO City Farm planted its first seeds.

Now, the farm has truly come into its own.

Still, plenty of folks have never stepped foot on this tucked-away gem sprouting with gorgeous greenery. Thousands of people driving south on Highway 101 between the Madonna Shopping Center and Los Osos Valley Road every day have no idea that they are indeed driving past the city of San Luis Obispo’s Calle Joaquin Agricultural Preserve. Weird right? Within that preserve, you’ll find a 19-acre parcel of class-one irrigated farmland (it’s true, I’ve seen it with my own eyes). Owned by the city of SLO and managed by Central Coast Grown, the farm produces veggies that go into local school lunches. The land also plays host to farming programs for at-risk teens, and has become a gathering place for volunteers seeking a break from mundane desk jobs. Don’t own your own yard? You can make your way to City Farm SLO and they’ll hand you a shovel (this provides a great workout, too). If you’ve never seen this landscape for yourself, now is the time to throw on those overalls and pull on those boots. Swing by the second annual Fall Harvest Festival, slated for Oct. 21. You can check out the pergola, new deer fencing, and gardens lovingly tended to by the Pacific Beach Farm School program. Can’t make it to the fest? No worries! City Farm SLO just opened a new farm stand where you can purchase fresh produce every Wednesday from 3 to 6 p.m. Something tells me this best-kept agricultural secret will not be a secret much longer.

WHAT: A request by Biddle Ranch Company LLC and AT&T Mobility for a Minor Use Permit (DRC2016-00056) to allow for the co-location, construction and operation of an unmanned wireless communication facility involving: a) the installation of one (1) new 63-foot high steel monopole; b) six (6) 8-foot tall panel antennas stack mounted in two sectors of three antennas each, at a height of 59 feet above grade (measured to top of antennas) on the steel monopole; c) eleven (11) Remote Radio Units (RRUs) located under the proposed panel antennas; d) an additional 182.5 square feet of fenced lease area; e) new equipment cabinets, racks and associated equipment located within the approximately 640 square foot fenced lease area; and f) installation of electrical utility conduit in an approximately 40-foot long utility trench. The project will result in the disturbance of approximately 400 square feet of a 629-acre parcel.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (805) 543-7088 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. eloandata.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 41975. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: Forget all you know about gratitude. Act as if it’s a new emotion you’re tuning in to for the first time. Then let it rip.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Humraaz is a word in the Urdu language.

Its literal meaning is “secret sharer.” It refers to a confidante, a person in whom you have full trust and to whom you can confess your core feelings. Is there such a character in your life? If so, seek him or her out for assistance in probing into the educational mysteries you have waded into. If there is no such helper you can call on, I advise you to do whatever’s necessary to attract him or her into your sphere.

A collaborative quest may be the key to activating sleeping reserves of your soul wisdom.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Roberto Bolaño suggests that the world contains more beauty than many people realize. The full scope and intensity of this nourishing beauty “is only visible to those who love.” When he speaks of “those who love,” I suspect he means deep-feeling devotees of kindness and compassion, hard-working servants of the greater good, and free-thinking practitioners of the Golden Rule. In any case, Taurus, I believe you’re in a phase when you have the potential to see far more of the world’s beauty.

For best results, supercharge your capacity to give and receive love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Once upon a time you were walking along a sidewalk when a fairy floated by and whispered, “I’m willing to grant you three wishy-washy wishes for free. You don’t have to do any favors for me in return. But I will grant you three wonderfully wise wishes if you perform three tasks for me.” You asked the fairy, “What would those three tasks be?” She replied, “The second task is that you must hoodwink the devil into allowing you to shave his hairy legs.

The third task is that you must bamboozle God into allowing you to shave his bushy beard.” You laughed and said, “What’s the first task?” The fairy touched you on the nose with her tiny wand and said, “You must believe that the best way to achieve the impossible is to attempt the absurd.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Crabs tend to be the stockpilers and hoarders of the zodiac. The world’s largest collections of antique doorknobs and Chinese restaurant menus and beer cans from the 1960s belong to Cancerian accumulators.

But in alignment with possibilities hinted at by current astrological omens, I recommend that you redirect this inclination so it serves you better. How? One way would be to gather supplies of precious stuff that’s really useful to you.

Another way would be to assemble a batch of blessings to bestow on people and animals who provide you with support.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Chinese mythology tells us there used to be 10 suns, all born from the mother goddess Xi He. Every 24 hours, she bathed her brood in the lake and placed them in a giant mulberry tree. From there, one sun glided out into the sky to begin the day while the other nine remained behind. It was a good arrangement. The week had 10 days back then, and each sun got its turn to shine. But the siblings eventually grew restless with the staid rhythm. On one fateful morning, with a playful flourish, they all soared into the heavens at once. It was fun for them, but the earth grew so hot that nothing would grow. To the rescue came the archer Hou Yi. With his flawless aim, he used his arrows to shoot down nine of the suns, leaving one to provide just the right amount of light and warmth. The old tales don’t tell us, but I speculate that Hou Yi was a Leo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You now have maximum command of a capacity that’s a great strength but also a potential liability: your piercing brainpower. To help ensure that you wield this asset in ways that empower you and don’t sabotage you, here’s advice from four wise Virgos. 1. “Thought can organize the world so well that you are no longer able to see it.”

—psychotherapist Anthony de Mello 2. “Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.” —poet Mary Oliver 3.

“I like to wake up each morning and not know what I think, that I may reinvent myself in some way.” —actor and writer Stephen Fry 4. “I wanted space to watch things grow.” — singer Florence Welch

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time,” wrote Libran author Oscar Wilde. “The reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised; for the question often arrives a long time after the answer.” That’s the weird news, Libra. You have been waiting and waiting to understand a project that you set in motion many moons ago. It has been frustrating to give so much energy to a goal that has sometimes confused you. But here’s the good news: Soon you will finally formulate the question your project has been the answer to. And so at last you will understand it.

You’ll feel vindicated, illuminated, and resolved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many seekers who read horoscope columns want common-sense advice about love, career, money, and power. So I hope I don’t disappoint you by predicting that you will soon have a mystical experience or spiritual epiphany. Let me add, however, that this delightful surprise won’t merely be an entertaining diversion with no useful application. In fact, I suspect it will have the potential of inspiring good ideas about love, career, money, or power. If I had to give the next chapter of your life story a title, it might be “A Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Practical Magic.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1962, when she was 31 years old, Sagittarian actress Rita Moreno won an Academy Award for her role in the film West Side Story. In 2018, she attended the Oscars again, sporting the same dress she’d worn for the ceremony 56 years before. I think the coming weeks will be a great time for you, too, to reprise a splashy event or two from the past. You’ll generate soul power by reconnecting with your roots. You’ll tonify and harmonize your mental health by establishing a symbolic link with your earlier self.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Committee to Reward Unsung Good Deeds hereby acknowledges your meritorious service in the trenches of the daily routine. We praise your tireless efforts to make life less chaotic and more coherent for everyone around you. We’re grateful for the patience and poise you demonstrate as you babysit adults who act like children. And we are gratified by your capacity to keep long-term projects on track in the face of trivial diversions and petty complaints.

I know it’s a lot to ask, but could you please intensify your vigilance in the next three weeks? We need your steadiness more than ever.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You need a special pep talk that’s best provided by Aquarian poet Audre Lorde. Please meditate on these four quotes by her. 1. “Caring for myself is not selfindulgence, it is self-preservation.” 2. “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings.” 3.

“You cannot use someone else’s fire. You can only use your own. To do that, you must first be willing to believe you have it.” 4. “Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.” 5. “The learning process is something you can literally incite, like a riot.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Warning: My horoscopes may interfere with your ability to rationalize your delusions; they could extinguish your enthusiasm for clichés; they might cause you to stop repressing urges that you really should express; and they may influence you to cultivate the state of awareness known as “playful wisdom.” Do you really want to risk being exposed to such lavish amounts of inner freedom? If not, you should stop reading now. But if you’re as ripe for emancipating adventures as I think you are, then get started on shedding any attitudes and influences that might dampen your urge to romp and cavort and carouse. ∆
