Sheriff’s Department was sharing license plate data with ICE, documents state FILE PHOTO COURTESY OF ICE

he SLO County Sheriff’s Office may have been sharing data collected using automated license plate reader technology with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), possibly violating California’s “sanctuary state” law. The department was one of 80 U.S. law enforcement agencies that were sharing such data with ICE, according to internal documents obtained by the Northern California ACLU. Among the documents is a report that names the SLO Sheriff’s Office as one of the agencies that agreed to share data collected using automated license plate readers with ICE through a massive database run by Vigilant Solutions, a private law enforcement technology company that entered into a $6.1 million contract with ICE in 2017. In a written response to questions from New Times, the SLO Sheriff ’s Office said it has not shared license plate data with ICE, and the department has since stopped using its license plate reader system in order to conduct a legal review. “We have never used that system for immigration enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office has one license plate reader in use at this time with the primary purpose of stopping drug smuggling and human trafficking in our county,” Sheriff’s spokesman Tony Cipolla wrote. “We are currently suspending the use of that system until further consultation with county counsel regarding the legality of data collected and shared from license plate readers.” Automated readers use small, highspeed cameras, commonly mounted on law enforcement vehicles to photograph license plate numbers. Data they collect include the license plate numbers and a log of the dates, times, and locations. In a written statement issued after the documents’ release, the ACLU of Northern California condemned the practice and called on

SHARING DATA The SLO County Sheriff’s Office suspended the use of its automated license plate reading system after documents released by the ACLU indicated it had agreed to share the data with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

law enforcement agencies to stop sharing license plate scanner data with ICE, which it said has an “egregious record of terrorizing immigrant communities.” “It is appalling that ICE has added this mass surveillance database to its arsenal, and that local law enforcement agencies and private companies are aiding the agency in its surveillance efforts,” Vasudha Talla, a staff attorney with the ACLU of Northern California, said in the written statement. “Local law enforcement agencies must immediately stop sharing their residents’ information with this rogue and immoral agency.” The ACLU also claimed that sharing the information with ICE was a violation of two California laws, including the SB 54 “sanctuary law,” which prohibits local law enforcement agencies from enforcing federal immigration law and limits cooperation and information sharing with ICE and other federal immigration agencies. During a December 2018 presentation to the county Board of Supervisors, Sheriff Ian

Parkinson said the department was abiding by the sanctuary law, noting that his department no longer provided ICE with a list of foreignborn inmates in the jail. He added that ICE had “nearly zero access” to inmates in jail. “In other words, we follow the law,” Parkinson told the supervisors. In the wake of ACLU’s release of the documents, there are indications that some of the law enforcement agencies may not have known they were allowing ICE access to license plate reader data through Vigilant’s database. That includes the Tulare Police Department. According to a statement from the department, it accidentally agreed to share the data with ICE after “inadvertently checking one box” while signing a contract to use Vigilant Solution’s system. Tulare PD characterized the incident as an “unfortunate mishap.” “The department was unaware of the exact details regarding how the data collected was shared because we don’t manage the data ourselves,” the department’s statement said.

Erik Howell’s law license suspended by state bar

of committing multiple acts of wrongdoing. According to the bar, Howell acknowledged his misconduct and submitted 10 letters of good character from area attorneys and community members, which, in addition to his lack of a prior record, were considered mitigating circumstances. Howell did not respond to New Times’ requests for comment before press time. McCormick first hired Howell as her attorney in 2013. He represented her as a Jane Doe in a suit filed in 2011 against SLO County that alleged medical malpractice and negligence. James Rummonds, the Aptos-based attorney who represented McCormick in her lawsuit against Howell, called the case “among the worst examples that I’ve seen of total absence of legal ethics, morality, and skill.” “[The 60-day suspension] is not even a slap on the hand; it was a tap,” Rummonds, a legal malpractice specialist, told New Times. Howell’s suspension is effective Feb. 22, and he’ll remain on probation for a year,

Pismo Beach City Councilmember and California Coastal Commissioner Erik Howell had his law license suspended for 60 days by the state bar last month for professional misconduct stemming from his work on a 2011 civil case against San Luis Obispo County. In a state bar decision made in October 2018, Howell was found in violation of multiple laws, including causing “significant harm” to his client by repeatedly failing to attend court hearings, file oppositions to the county’s motions, and answer client communications— which resulted in a losing case and his client owing $10,000 in opponent attorney’s fees. When the case concluded, the client, Linda McCormick, sued Howell for legal malpractice, and in 2016 a SLO County judge awarded her $187,067 in damages. The state bar claims that Howell failed to report the outcome of that case to the agency as obligated by law. In total, the bar found Howell in violation of five statutes, with aggravating circumstances

Paso continues with by-district elections hearings With one more hearing left, Paso Robles is moving forward with its plans to transition the city’s elections to a districtbased process. At the March 19 City Council meeting, council members discussed five potential district boundary maps and voted for Map E, which split the city into four districts, to be brought back to the final hearing on April 6. According to a staff report, in this proposed map Councilmember Maria Garcia would represent a majority of schools and parks east of the Salinas River; Councilmember Fred Strong would represent the area that includes the senior center and Quail Run; Councilmember John Hamon’s district would consist of the north side of downtown and the airport; and Mayor Pro Tem Steve Gregory’s district would include the southern part of downtown. Paso City Council members are currently elected in citywide elections, meaning each council member may reside anywhere within city limits. Moving to a district-based system would only allow residents to vote every four years for a council member who resides in their district. If Map E is chosen, Districts 3 and 4 would be up for election in 2020, and Districts 1 and 2 would be up for election in 2022. In August 2018, the city received a letter from the Shenkman & Hughes law firm, alleging that the city’s electoral system violates the California Voting Rights Act and threatened the city with litigation if it didn’t adopt a bydistrict system. In September 2018, the City Council approved a resolution to express its intent to transition to district elections. According to the Santa Monica Daily Press, Shenkman & Hughes also threatened the city of Santa Monica with litigation over its electoral system. The city went to court, and on Feb. 15, Judge Yvette Palazuelos ruled in favor of the law firm and ordered the city to use a sevendistrict map. The ruling stated that the city’s former at-large election system suppressed the voting power of Santa Monica’s Latino population, which was historically clustered in one neighborhood. Palazuelos ordered the city to hold a district-based special election July 2 to elect seven new council members. —Karen Garcia

North County water districts unhappy with direction of Paso basin plan Officials from North County’s two water districts vented frustrations about the latest draft of a Paso Robles Groundwater Basin sustainability plan at a joint meeting held at J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines on March 19, calling its target for a 29 percent reduction in basin pumping unreasonable and economically dangerous. The districts—Shandon-San Juan Water District and Estrella-El PomarCreston Water District—represent some of the biggest agricultural players in the North County and more than 150,000 acres of land. Shandon-San Juan Water District is one of the four local agencies that has a vote on the Paso Basin Cooperative Committee, which is collectively drafting a 20-year sustainability plan for the sprawling basin as required by state law. District leaders unanimously disputed the groundwater levels that were set as “minimum thresholds” in the draft plan. Minimum thresholds are the lowest groundwater levels that would be considered acceptable in the plan. “We all want water levels to rise, but that’s not a realistic target,” said Matt Turrentine, a Shandon-San Juan Water District board member and manager of Harvard Endowment’s vineyards. Some of the plan’s minimum thresholds were set above where current well levels sit. “I think the starting point is the problem,” said Shandon area farmer Randy Diffenbaugh. “We don’t want to start on parole or probation.” The districts’ boards agreed to advocate for new minimum thresholds in the plan

that are 75 feet below 2017 groundwater levels. They added that the plan’s “measure objective”—which is more of a target number—should be set at current water levels. Discontentment ran deep enough among Shandon board members that they also discussed the option of withdrawing from the multi-agency committee to craft their own sustainability plan. The basin’s plan is due to the state in January 2020. Revisions to the current draft plan will be released again in April. —Peter Johnson

Coast Unified isn’t looking for a superintendent, yet After splitting with its former superintendent, Coast Unified School District is confident that its current leadership can carry it through the end of the 2018-19 academic school year. Samuel Shalhoub, school board president, told New Times via email that at its March 14 meeting the board voted on its intent to not initiate a statewide or nationwide search for a superintendent. “This is a sign of stability, and if our personnel had indicated the need for a search, the board would have deeply and thoroughly considered that option,” he said. The district will continue with its current leadership: interim Superintendent Scott Smith—he’s a parttime superintendent for both Cayucos Elementary School District and Coast Unified—and Kyle Martin as the interim assistant superintendent, who is also principal of Santa Lucia Middle School. Shalhoub said the decision was made as a result of direct input from faculty and staff regarding the performance of Smith and Martin.

Their performance was evaluated on a scale of poor, satisfactory, and excellent, as well as faculty and staff’s observation of and interaction with Smith and Martin, actions taken on topics brought to administration’s attention, and overall communication between administration and faculty/staff. Coast Unified has to inform Cayucos Elementary of its intention to remain in the shared services agreement— continuing to use Smith’s service—by May 1. The positions began January 2019 and marked the first time the district has had both interim superintendent positions. Shalhoub said that the board created the structure as a reflection of direct input from faculty and staff at the beginning of the district’s leadership transition. In October, former district Superintendent Victoria Schumacher announced her resignation three months after the teachers union sent a letter to the district expressing its lack of confidence in her leadership. “It allows for Kyle Martin to bring genuine, on-the-ground information to Scott Smith’s attention and to allow Scott Smith to quickly address larger issues and make progress towards serving the needs of our students, faculty, and staff,” he said. “Having these two administrators working together has generated a synergetic effect that is propelling the district in a healthy and positive direction, and is also saving the district money.” The district board will set up a listening session in April to check in with faculty and staff, as well as create a platform for the community to provide input on the nature of the leadership’s efficiency.

Radioactive stuff Nuclear safety expert talks risks, plans for Diablo Canyon spent fuel

obert J. Budnitz, a career nuclear power safety expert, didn’t mince words when describing the potential risk that Diablo Canyon Power Plant’s spent fuel poses as it’s been stored at the site for years, and likely will be for decades. “That stuff’s hazardous,” Budnitz said in his March 13 presentation on the subject to the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel. “Even though a whole lot of it has decayed, it’s full of radioactive stuff.” In one disaster scenario that Budnitz outlined, a massive earthquake knocks out the plant’s electricity, including its six backup generators. As a result, the instrument that helps cool down the ultrahot spent fuel assemblies, stored in two pools, shuts off. Those pools eventually get so hot that they boil over and spill their water— leaving the radioactive material exposed to the atmosphere for leaks and fires. “That’s a really nasty accident,” Budnitz explained. “The principal engineering challenge is working to ensure, with very high assurance, that that stuff doesn’t get out. That’s what engineers do. That’s the challenge.” Spent fuel is a key concern for Budnitz as the chair of the Diablo Canyon Independent Safety Committee, a body formed back in 1990 to provide analyses and recommendations to the state about plant safety. Spent fuel is going to become

his and the committee’s No. 1 focus when Diablo’s nuclear reactors are shut off in 2024 and 2025. With nowhere else to take the spent fuel, PG&E will have to store and monitor it on-site indefinitely, first in the cooling pools, and then in large concrete and steel containers called dry casks. The Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel—a committee of 12 local community members created “to foster open and transparent dialogue” about the plant’s shutdown, per PG&E’s website—tackled the hot-button topic at its latest meeting on March 13. In his presentation, Budnitz assured the panel that a catastrophe occurring like the one he described was “very unlikely.” The facility was built to withstand powerful earthquakes and, even if it were compromised by one, the pools would take days to boil, giving responders ample time to devise solutions. “I’m not worried,” he said. Nevertheless, it’s events like these that PG&E and San Luis Obispo County must protect against while the nuclear waste is stored at the site—which will continue long after the plant goes out of production. PG&E’s most recent plan to handle the spent fuel has drawn some scrutiny. It targets 2032 for the transfer of material from cooling pools to dry casks. Safety advocates and regulators had hoped that process, which in the past

All about the kids

hen they hear the word “homeless,” many people picture the lone, older adults they have seen on the streets. But as El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) President Wendy Lewis will tell you, those single adults aren’t the only individuals experiencing homelessness in SLO County who are seeking help. The organization’s Atascadero shelter also serves a growing number of families with children who are struggling with homelessness and seeking help. Currently, the shelter provides rooms where homeless families can stay for up to three months and participate in the programs, get connected with services, and, most importantly, not be separated from each other. “Being able to stay together as a family unit means they can connect with resources, find employment and transportation, and eventually housing while staying together,” Lewis told New Times. “The physical ability to remain as a family unit makes a huge impact.” Now the organization will be able to enhance and even expand some of its programs geared specifically toward children in the shelter thanks to a $3,000 grant from Central Coast Funds for Children. The fund is a

nonprofit organization that has been raising money to help children in need in SLO County since the 1990s. The organization is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary. The grant came from more than $1.7 million raised by the organization to help needy children in the county. “ECHO provides for the immediate needs of many homeless children by providing overnight shelter and daily meals,” Debbie Craven, president of the Central Coast Funds for Children, said in a written statement. “They exemplify everything Central Coast Funds for Children stands for.” Lewis said the money would be used to fill funding gaps and enhance current programs and add new ones for children in the shelter. Current programs for children at ECHO include an art program, a reading and family literacy program, and a nutritional education and tutoring program. A dedicated staff of volunteers helps run most of those programs. “ECHO really strives to create an environment that does not feel like a shelter. Especially for the children,” Lewis said. “We have a unique model.” ECHO provides shelter for an average of 60 children each year. As many as 15 children between the ages of 0 to 18

Preserving history Communities work to keep old buildings alive and share their local importance BY KAREN GARCIA • PHOTOS BY JAYSON MELLOM urton Drive in Cambria is lined with boutiques, specialty stores, and restaurants for visitors and residents alike to take a moment and shop. Continuing along the street, you might find yourself doing a double take as you approach The Shop Next Door. The store sits next to the Squibb House and the newly built Black Barn. The house is well known by the local community as one that’s been around since the 1800s and is filled with local history from its previous owners. Its current purpose is as a bed and breakfast, but its larger goal is to continue filling the walls with new stories while preserving its past. Buildings like it can be found across the Central Coast, preserved or restored over the years in order to keep a part of local lore alive. Although several properties are well known and have received a historical landmark certification by the California State Parks, there are others that go unnoticed. Certified landmarks include Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, the Jack House, and Rancho Nipomo, which includes the Dana Adobe. The Central Coast is home to many other historical buildings, several of which are already repurposed or are on the verge of being revamped to give the surrounding community access to their historical significance.

OLD FASHIONED Staying at the Squibb House gives guests a chance to step out of modernday living, as there aren’t any TVs or other technological amenities.

Weaving in the old with the new

The yellow-and-cream-colored building with green trim has faint painted lettering that says “grain bought and sol.” Bruce Black owns the shop and said the missing letter “d” was cut off after the previous owner widened the door when it became an auto repair shop at one point in time. Now, the shop’s purpose is to sell custommade furniture by Amish craftsmen, local art, and vintage decor pieces. Black is the fifth owner of the property, which includes The Shop Next Door, the Squibb House, and the Black Barn—all side by side on Burton Street. Black grew up in Pennsylvania, moved to the Bay Area, and eventually wanted to move to the Central Coast. At the time, the Squibb House and its adjoining building, The Shop Next Door, were up for sale. What motivated Black to buy the property in 1993 was its story. “It’s got all this life experience that’s walked these floors. You just think, ‘Twenty years ago, something was happening in this space,’” Black said. “I think that’s the thing that makes it kind of a weave in a tapestry. We’re here today as part of a story that winds back through the decades and even the century.” The Squibb House was built in the 1800s, Black said, by Frederick Dark, a Civil War veteran and the principal of the original school in Cambria. The next owners were the Pattersons and their four children. They had a carpentry shop in what is now The Shop Next Door. The Pattersons’ son owned the home next with his wife and two daughters, Olma and Bernice. Black said the sisters visited the Squibb House in 1995—it had been 75 years since they stepped foot in their former home. After that first visit, Black asked Olma to write him letters that described what life and the town were like when they lived there. Through Olma, he learned that the Squibb House was the first in town to have an indoor

bathroom. Of course the girls felt like royalty, Black said with a laugh, after having to use an outhouse for years. “And it’s really like time travel because they could talk about this place and this town, you know, 75 or 85 years earlier,” he said. The letters are on display in the hallway of the Squibb House. The third owner of the home was Van Gordan, a judge who had a rolltop desk in the hallway of the house where the community would come in and pay fines. The Squibbs, retired educators from Santa Ynez, were the last owners of the

the original cabinets of the kitchen. His contribution to keeping the Squibb House alive, Black said, is turning it into a bed and breakfast a year after he purchased the property in 1994. That way people can continue to add their stories to the house. In the four rooms of the house that individuals and couples can stay, there are notebooks that guests are free to write in, but they aren’t your traditional guestbooks, where people write about how clean the sheets were or how lovely their stay was. “It’s almost like a confessional. People always write things down because it’s anonymity, and it’s more constructive than the internet because it’s a handwritten expression of just what you’re thinking,” he said as he flipped through the pages of one. The books contain everything from detailed sketches of the house to personal entries of staying at the Squibb House for another anniversary celebration. Black has also added to the history of the property by building the Black Barn in 2017. It’s built from milled wood that traveled to Cambria from his great-greatgreat-great-grandfather’s barn back in his hometown in Pennsylvania. “That barn was falling down, like many of them are, and the fact of it just being lost to mulch was too sad a prospect, so I had the Amish men in the area help me take it down,” he said. The barn has four additional rooms that guests can book, and it also has a communal lounging area where the complimentary breakfast is served. Black’s goal with the bed and breakfast was to create something that reflected the story of the house and would continue that storytelling tradition. It’s an idea that he can relate to because he owns the house where he grew up. “It’s not only the house I grew up in, but that my dad, grandfather, and greatgrandfather grew up in. My great-greatgrandfather built it,” he said. “It really has roots, and I like that it has stories from all of us.” Jane Holton, who worked at the bed and breakfast for years, said the Squibb House added charm to downtown Cambria and had a wonderful soul. “We starched the napkins and baked fresh cookies for the guests,” she said. “I always felt like I was back in time at the turn of the century, with all of the details that surrounded the Victorian home and gardens of the Squibbs.” It’s an experience and a history that Holton said she will always treasure.

Starting over house before Black, and they owned the property for about four decades. Locally the Squibbs were known for a lot of things, but residents like John Seed remember them for keeping the community beautiful. “We have learned that Squibbing is a local term for picking up trash to beautify the town,” Seed said. Black likes to share these fun facts about the property with the community as well as his guests. As the fifth owner of the property, Black decided to keep the style of the Squibb House intact, fix the leveling of the building, and repurpose

Between houses on Lizzie Street in San Luis Obispo and slightly hidden behind trees and cactus plants is an abandoned building made of mud brick. The La Loma Adobe—also known as La Loma de la Nopalera Adobe, which translates to “sundried mud brick house on the hill of prickly pear cactus”—is not much of a sight to see just yet, but it’s something that the Friends of La Loma Adobe are currently working on, one project at a time. Bob Vessely, a civil engineer and a member of the volunteer group, said the neighborhood residents have mixed feelings about the adobe. “Some of them see this as a godawful eyesore that’s reducing property value, and some of them are interested in the

history, so they want to know what’s going on there,” Vessely said. While the adobe is said to have been built around 1782, Vessely said the group doesn’t have a lot of information about the adobe’s exact date. What the group does know is that in the 1800s a private San Luis Obispo company purchased about 200 acres of land in the Reservoir Canyon area and constructed several small dams to divert water out of the creek, and a series of pipelines to carry the water to a distribution reservoir just below the canyon. In 1900, the city of San Luis Obispo purchased the water company in its entirety and became the water purveyor for the community. At the time, the water collection system consisted of several structures on San Luis Obispo Creek, Reservoir Canyon Creek, Hansen Creek, and Gularte Creek; Stenner Creek was a potential site, but a dam was never built.

MAKING A HOME The La Loma Adobe is often referred to as the Munoz Adobe after the homeowner Maria Concepcion Boronda married her second husband, Jose Munoz, and took his last name.

The La Loma Adobe was on the Stenner Creek property. It’s one of four adobes that the city owns and the only twostory adobe. The exact size of the adobe’s original property is still a mystery, but the group believes the land was large enough to support a cattle operation. Now the adobe is surrounded by neighborhoods of homes and a baseball field. Vessely said the owner of the adobe was Dona Maria Concepcion Boronda de Munoz. She first lived in the adobe with her five children, remarried, and then had another five. Vessely said her family expanded, so the house needed to grow as well. Because there is little to no information about the history of the home, the group is speculating that the adobe was originally a one-story structure. He said they can make this observation because the mud bricks on the second story vary in size and shape. The Friends group has been working with the city to gather funds to restore the structure and to generate public

Opinion There’s still support for Proposition 13

The Republican Party of San Luis Obispo County (RPSLO) strongly supports Proposition 13 as voted by two-thirds of the people of the state of California in 1978 and reaffirms that Proposition 13 benefits individual homeowners, renters, local governments, and the overall economy. Applause to the recent unanimous vote of the SLO County Board of Supervisors for its support of Proposition 13 included in the county’s 2019 legislative platform. There is a powerful California movement to propose legislation or initiatives to modify Proposition 13. There are many proposed measures and/ or legislation that will reduce the super majority vote required to raise taxes from two-thirds to 55 percent. It is important to note there is also a measure that qualified for the November 2020 ballot. It would establish a so-called “split roll” for property tax, which would reduce protections for commercial property owners. There are concerns it may become the subject of legislative negotiations. The split roll would seriously hurt the many small businesses in San Luis Obispo County. Randall Jordan chairman, RPSLO

affected by this project. Precedents have already been established for bad behavior at the Hillside Church location. Additional concerns not mentioned by Mr. Oakley include a preschool and a 55-and-older community within two blocks of the church and the associated increase in problems due to an increase in clientele at the homeless project. By 5CHC’s own admission in a public meeting, there are currently up to as many as 250 visits a month to the nonprofit’s current office, it is looking at a jail-to-community program, and it would entertain a needle exchange program. Rather than trying to cobble together many parts of the 5CHC to this location, couldn’t we rally together as a community and collaborate on a new allencompassing wraparound facility at a better location? Every resident within a 2-mile radius of Hillside Church on Newport Avenue should be gravely concerned for the safety of their children and elderly. Now is the time to take action; come up with a better solution or your and your children’s lives will be changed forever. Paul C. Hertel Arroyo Grande

It’s time to inspect the reactors

This month marks eight years since the meltdown of three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear generating plant in Japan. The Japanese people who lost their homes, farms, and health are still suffering the consequences of this horrible event. The radioactivity has continued to spread across Japan and into the Pacific now reaching our coast.

Levels of cesium-137 have increased over the years in samples taken in the waters off Pismo Beach analyzed by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Here at home we have two nuclear reactors: Unit 1, which is 36 years old, and Unit 2, at 35 years old. Both are still producing approximately 20 metric tons of highly radioactive waste per year. The intense pressure, heat, and radioactivity cause embrittlement and cracking in these reactor vessels. Given the fact these reactors, as well as the cooling pools for the spent fuel, are old and sitting on multiple earthquake faults and there isn’t a workable evacuation plan, it is beyond time for thorough inspections to be done to protect life and property in this county.

Letters vehicles, aka dune buggies)! This is in State Parks’ Oceano Dunes District’s plans for this area. I’ve been making audio recordings of bird sounds at Oso Flaco Lake since 1995. Last summer I created a CD album, Bird Sounds of Oso Flaco Lake. Needless to say, this would not have been possible if this area had been a staging area for OHVs with access to the dunes. I recall hearing the dune buggies far in the distance during my recording sessions, but only the low-frequency sounds reached my microphones; they’re fairly easy to edit out with a high-pass filter. When vehicles are close, the noise includes all the frequencies, overlapping with the birdcalls and songs, making it impossible to filter out. Too bad for me, but even worse for the birds; many species will likely be driven away by the noise pollution that will be introduced to this quiet birding hot spot. Clinton Francis, an assistant professor in biological sciences at Cal Poly, spoke to the Morro Coast Audubon Society a couple of years ago about the effects of sound on bird species. He discussed a study in which a forested area was set up with a virtual highway by placing loud speakers along a path, playing traffic noise. The area was surveyed before, during, and after, and, of course, some species were driven away by the noise. Other studies indicated that the frequency of the sound determined which birds left the area. If Oso Flaco Lake is developed, it is likely that the species that remain would be the typical urban birds that tolerate noise. Please keep Oso Flaco Lake special!

One man, one ruler?

Cutting through all the talk about Trump and his supporters versus the rising opposition made up of Democrats, independents, and some Republicans, what it comes down to is one-man rule versus our democratic system of government. Many Trump supporters understand this division and choice and completely accept the one-man rule that Trump is in essence pushing for. He believes the attorney general should serve as his personal attorney. He rejects any investigation of his presidency, either by Congress as set forth in the Constitution or a special counsel. It is no more impossible that a large percentage of Americans would abandon democracy than it is impossible that they would elect Donald Trump and the antirace, anti-immigrant platform he pledged to give us. Is one-man rule better than the democracy we have now? History has lessons, ready and waiting. The best of these lessons is available in movies and books. It is Germany in the ’20s, ’30s, and ’40s. An educated German people schooled

in democracy eagerly switched to one-man rule over that time period, believing the strongman’s promise to make Germany great again. The steps of the change, one by one, are all cataloged well in movies and books for our education. From start to end, anyone can see the progress and people’s support for this radical change—a flight from democracy to something promised as better. Spoiler alert. One-man rule didn’t end as predicted by the one-man ruler. Instead, it ended in a vast failure of epic proportions with terrible suffering and the agonizing death of millions of humans—including Russian soldiers, American soldiers, German soldiers, and German citizens. Today, Americans aren’t interested in history or books. While they like movies, they don’t like historical documentaries.

Few are familiar with the details of this one-man-rule story in Western history. Strongman rule sounds good to them, despite the many failures of the current wannabe one-man ruler to deliver on past promises! Vile, trust-eroding radio and TV talkers have made the new oneman-rule enthusiasts ready for another Western democracy to unwisely embrace the one man who “absolutely promised” to cure all national ills. But for those who still have some sense of the value of history, at least watch those well-documented movies on Germany in the ’20s, ’30s, and ’40s. The America that has done so much for so many at least deserves that easy study. The BBC has particularly good programs on this history. After watching this history, ask yourself—which path is preferable: messy, disagreement-plagued democracy or clean, simple one-man rule? You’ll be armed with facts to answer the question.

Opinion

Rhetoric&Reason

BY AMY HEWES

The great connector M y mother-in-law was a lifelong Republican, but I guarantee she’d be offended to know that Donald Trump is about to cut food services nationwide. In fact, my husband’s family has a special connection with Meals on Wheels. His mother June was ferociously self-reliant but believed deeply in public service. She possessed a religious fervor about helping those who couldn’t help themselves. She was elected supervisor by the largest plurality in county history, and one of her first acts in the late ’60s was to bring Meals on Wheels to Bergen County, New Jersey. Today, my disabled brotherin-law can count on three healthy meals a week because of his mother’s legacy. Sadly, we do not witness corresponding selflessness coming from the Trump administration. Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue’s announcement that they intend to make cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, which we all know as Food Stamps) is just one more lens into the venality, rapaciousness, and shortsightedness of this administration. June saw decades ago that hunger existed in some of the most seemingly affluent communities—like ours— especially among children and seniors. According to the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County, 46,000 residents in our county struggle with hunger, 20

percent of whom are seniors, and many are working parents. In California, 1 in 7 households face food insecurity every day; 1 out of 4 California children may go to bed hungry each night. And yet, the proposed cuts will diminish food assistance to unemployed and underemployed in areas with insufficient jobs and high cost of living. If you volunteer a couple of hours at one of the more than 40 food distribution sites around the county, you’ll see seniors, families, students, and working poor who often must choose between housing, health care, and food. On any Saturday’s distribution at Grace Church in SLO, 100 to 150 individuals line up each week to collect up to three days’ worth of meals, including fresh produce that is otherwise unavailable to them. How can such hunger exist in our great nation? How, in fact, can we be great when the government turns its back on the young, the old, and those folks who can’t earn enough to cover life’s fundamental expenses? I was stunned to learn that the Food Bank distributes 5,000 pounds of food per day and serves 30,000 individuals every month. I sat down with Kevin Drabinski, the Food Bank’s CEO, to learn about hunger in San Luis Obispo. “On average, we provide 4 million pounds per year for distribution through

old deal—socialism that turns into communism and oppression. When inexperienced individuals hear about “free” this and that, their brains shut down and go, “Yes!, I want it.” There is no desire to see more and know more about how 1 plus 1 will not add up to 2, but it seems like too many people only care that it is “free.” The world they know today will not exist tomorrow. No, it will not. Under the giveaway program, our current world will erode until we are in poverty, starving, and in chaos like Venezuela. The value of money is the trust between the government and the people. When you take the kind of money required to fund these programs, all of that trust will degrade as you steal your citizens blind to create massive giveaways to secure the receiver’s vote. Wake up, SLO County, and say no to all of the free giveaways planned, and say yes to being responsible and embrace your family because, with family, you can have a safety net instead of being on your knees to an oppressive government. “Free” means bondage, not freedom. Laura Mordaunt San Luis Obispo

better than it has been in decades. We see unemployment at its lowest. We see North Korea at least talking with us now. Stop the impeachment blather and do what we sent you there to do. Govern for us. You know, “We the people.” Stop acting like the kid who lost the game, calls the winner a cheat, and takes his ball home. Also, explain how 76,000 illegal immigrants crossing into our country last month is a “manufactured crisis.” You do a lot of talking about “comprehensive immigration reform,” but talk is all you do. Why didn’t you pass such a thing when you controlled Congress and the White House? To you media people. You are becoming irrelevant. When you report nothing but negative news about the president or tie his name to any story that casts him in a bad light, eventually I stop believing or reading what you print or say. Is he a perfect president? Of course not. He’s a man. No man or woman is perfect. Who in Congress or the media could stand up to an investigation into their life, backed by unlimited funding with no limit on how many people could dig into their past. Would they find something on Nancy, Maxine, Chuck, you, or an acquaintance? Highly likely. Ellis Romero Santa Maria

our 77 partner agencies, throughout the county,” he said. Our president likes to think he’s the voice around which people rally. But according to Drabinksi, “Food is the great connector.” It’s both encouraging and sobering to know that the Food Bank is planning and building today to address hunger for the next generation. “The nonprofit started distributing food out of two station wagons in a church parking lot in the late ’80s,” Drabinski said. “Two years ago, we moved into this modern facility that has a loading ramp, refrigeration, all the requirements to ensure safety and efficiency.” A full 75 percent of the Food Bank’s budget comes from donations from individuals. I invite you to take a dip in what Drabinski calls the “river of life.” Asked why he is devoted to serving the hungry, Drabinski echoes a belief shared by almost anyone involved in this work: “Everyone in this county, this nation, should be able to eat every day.” You wouldn’t guess that at an elite school like Cal Poly, some students are near starving—but it’s true. Genie Kim, director of Wellbeing and Health Education at Cal Poly, told me, “I am passionate about the collective ‘we,’ about making food accessible to students.” It’s no surprise that being hungry poses a barrier to learning. Started five

years ago, Cal Poly’s food pantry is part of a system-wide effort to better address the basic needs of students. I’m glad the CSU recognizes that fact and is actively developing programs to address the issue. “Even in the last couple years, I’ve seen a heightened awareness of students’ basic needs,” Kim said. “In 2017-18, we had more than 1,800 visits to the food pantry.” And there’s a yet more threatening danger on the way. Cynically couched in rhetoric that extols the dignity of work (as if hungry and unemployed folks wouldn’t love to work!), the Trump administration’s announced cuts make food providers wary of ripple effects: more hungry students; more nutrition-related disease; more starving, dispirited people on our streets. Drabinski, Kim, and their cohorts are doing the work of the angels—but it’s not enough. In fact, Drabinski reminds us that a huge population of needy older people is retiring without adequate savings. That’s one reason why all the charities may be overwhelmed very soon if we don’t demand that the government take care of its people. The same is true for our local Meals on Wheels (now called Meals That Connect) and No-Cook Bags, which are distributed to our unsheltered population. The bottom line locally and nationally? The need is greater than volunteers can provide. But, hey, Trump’s cuts mean more money for the wall, right? ∆ Amy Hewes is actively involved in grassroots political action.

Opinion Nothing to see here, move along

as the SLO County Sheriff’s Office been breaking the law? The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) suspects as much! Uh oh! Are you thinking more neglectdriven inmate deaths in the SLO County Jail? Maybe a restraint chair or rubber hose or sock full of no-bruise-leaving oranges? No, no, no! Our Sheriff’s Office is listed as a law enforcement agency that uses—or I should say was using but has now quit using—an automated license plate reader (ALPR) connected to a database run by Vigilant Solutions, which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE, ice baby!) is suspected of using to track and locate so-called “illegal immigrants” even though last year California voters passed SB 54, California’s sanctuary state law, which prevents local police and sheriff’s offices from sharing info about those they arrest, question, or detain with the feds and ICE unless the suspect has a prior criminal conviction. Whew! That was a long sentence! If at this point you’re thinking, “Oh, well, that’s cool. Screw those Mexican drug dealers and rapists,” then you’re as ignorant and racist as our Tweeterin-Chief Donald J. tRump. First, you

clearly don’t believe in democracy when it results in laws you don’t like. Second, most illegal immigrants in California are law abiding and hardworking—probably harder working than you! Third, I don’t need a third, man, especially if you’ve downloaded the Conservative Safe Spaces app so you’ll know where you can wear your MAGA hat without being called on your ignorant racism. By the way, is that hat tinfoil-lined? Asking for a friend. Let’s break some shit down. One myth you’ve bought into is that immigrants take more in government aid than they contribute, which is false! Several large-scale studies, including a 2017 National Academies of the Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine investigation, prove immigration “has an overall positive impact on the longrun economic growth in the U.S.” Yes, first-generation immigrants cost the government more, but second-generation immigrants contribute on average more than all other native-born Americans! You also believe immigrants take nativeborn Americans’ jobs … but nope! In fact, immigrants more often take jobs that boost other parts of the economy, generating more jobs for native-born, uneducated, MAGAhat-wearing knuckle-draggers. You also believe deep in your heart of hearts that we don’t need immigrants! Um, I would suggest you start having more babies, but I shudder at the thought of your horde of goose-stepping offspring marching

around with wee tiki torches and chanting, “Jews will not replace us.” Plus, it’s not like you’re going to raise them up to be fieldworkers, right? The fact is, immigrants are key to offsetting our falling birth rate, and yes, if you want to panic about the “browning of America,” go ahead, because that’s going to happen. Science! Let’s face some tough facts: California’s economy is propped up by the labor of illegal immigrants, or as “those crazy liberals” like to call them, undocumented workers, because—you know—they work and lack documentation because of our onerous laws on gaining citizenship or even a green card. These workers make up an estimated 10 percent of California’s workforce, and if you want to continue eating all those handpicked crops from California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley— Shit! Is that a “Mexican” name? Yes, and if you want cheap eats, you should be welcoming in immigrants and finding them an easier path to citizenship so they can pay more taxes on their low wages. I digress. Is our Sheriff’s Office in violation of SB 54? “We believe there has been a clear violation of the law and are calling for a proper investigation,” ACLU staff lawyer Vasudha Talla was quoted in the LA Times saying. “The documents show a rogue [federal immigration] agency, and it has added mass surveillance to its toolbox.” Yeah, but did our local Sheriff’s Office actually participate? They say, “No way, Jose!”

The Shredder “The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office has never shared information with ICE with respect to data from license plate readers,” Sheriff’s Spokesmodel Tony Cipolla claimed in a statement to New Times. “We have never used that system for immigration enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office has one license plate reader in use at this time with the primary purpose of stopping drug smuggling and human trafficking in our county. We are currently suspending the use of that system until further consultation with county counsel regarding the legality of data collected and shared from license plate readers.” OK, let’s see if I have this correctly. You say you’ve never shared info with ICE, but your ALPR feeds into a system ICE can access, so how do you know whether they used data your ALPR collected, hmm? You also claim your ALPR was only used for “stopping drug smuggling and human trafficking,” but now you’re suspending it? Um, is drug smuggling and human trafficking suddenly no longer a problem? Here’s the thing, Tony. It sure seems like you’re flacking for a sheriff’s department that got caught with ICE’s hands in its cookie jar, and now you’re freaking out because the SLO County Sheriff’s Office needs another scandal like SLO Town needs another froyo shop. I’ll have a double scoop of blueberry pomegranate with some rainbow sprinkles, please! ∆ The Shredder thinks ICE is only good for mixed drinks. Send ideas and comments to shredder@newtimesslo.com.

Makes you wanna Próxima Parada delivers infectious fun

ome bands just seem to exude happiness, as if they know they have the best job in the world and they’re not rubbing your nose in it; they just want to share the joy with you. That’s the case with Próxima Parada, the local blue-eyed soul band whose members are getting ready to quit their day jobs, pile in their tour van, and hit the road. Before they blow this popsicle stand we call SLO Town, they’re going out with a bang this Friday, March 22, at the SLO Brew Rock Event Center (7 p.m.; 18-and-older; $10 at slobrew.com or Boo Boo Records; standing room only). “The show will be our major SLO concert before we head off on our U.S. tour this summer,” frontman Nick Larson explained. “We’re in the process of recording our next album, and we’ll have a record label supporting us in the release and distribution. And we’ll all be full-time Próxima Parada by June!” It’s been a long, strange trip for this “group of four with wild fantasies of promoting joy, human connection, and making introspection sexy again,” according to their bio, which also notes influences such as “Vulfpeck and Lake Street Dive, classic artists like Ray Charles and Bob Dylan, as well as jazz, gospel, and the music of West and South Africa.” In addition to Larson (vocals, keys, guitar), the band includes Kevin Middlekauff (bass), Josh Collins (guitar),

and Aaron Kroeger (drums). Since they formed in 2012, they’ve been through a few personnel changes, with Larson and Middlekauff remaining as the core founding members. What have these changes meant for the band’s sound? “Yes, we’ve seen lots of change and growth since we started this band our senior year of college at Cal Poly,” Larson said. “As Próxima Parada has slowly transitioned from a hobby to a full-time profession, we’ve had members leave the band to pursue other work, and we’ve been fortunate enough to bring in Kroeger on drums and Collins on guitar. They’re both incredibly talented and dedicated musicians who are such great team players. “Our sound has developed significantly because of their unique perspectives,” Larson continued. “For example, all of us arrange the songs together, and we always want our parts to serve the song and not just be a demonstration of skill. And we don’t just focus on our own parts, we all help write each other’s parts, so it feels like we are all playing everyone’s instrument. This has helped ensure that we’re all personally connecting to all parts of the song. To get to this level has required lots and lots of open discussion and vulnerability. It’s really hard to do, but it’s the way we prefer to arrange the songs. This will be evident on our new album that we’re releasing this year.” Neal Losey, KCBX’s Morning Cup DJ, is clearly a big fan and plays the band’s music often.

ONE FOR THE ROAD Blue-eyed soul band Próxima Parada plays a March 22 show at the SLO Brew Rock Event Center before heading out on their summer national tour.

“We’re so grateful for all of the support that we get from local radio stations like KCBX and the Krush,” Larson said. “It’s so cool for us because they’re stations that we genuinely love listening to. The bulk of our listeners outside of SLO come from Spotify. We’ve been amazed to see over 1.3 million unique listeners from 65 different countries and over 6.24 million total streams. It’s crazy to think that there are people all around the world listening to songs that we wrote here in San Luis Obispo.” Their song “Time In A Circle” alone has been streamed more than 1 million times on Spotify. “When Nick wrote ‘Time In A Circle,’ he was intimidated to share it with

people because it felt really vulnerable and personal, so to see it get over 1.5 million plays on Spotify means a lot to us,” Middlekauff said. “It means that people resonate with vulnerability and sharing our true selves. So many people have approached us and told us that they feel like ‘Time In A Circle’ was written about them. One man in Germany even recorded himself on YouTube performing his own version of the song. It’s gorgeous. Nick definitely cried when he heard it for the first time.” While the band’s getting ready to drop their next album, they’ve been recording

music together for more than five years. “We’ve recorded one EP and three fulllength albums since 2013,” Middlekauff said. “We’ve finished recording our next album and now are in the mixing stage. Our close friend, Vince Cimo (Cimo Brothers/Mannequins By Day), is going to be mixing and helping produce it, and our friend, Bryant Bayhan (.paperman), is helping us with some of the soundscaping/ production.” Their upcoming U.S. tour will crisscross the country, with Larson calling it “our biggest undertaking yet.” “We’re extremely excited about our summer tour,” he said. “This tour is going to take us through Chicago, across to Boston/New York/DC, down through Nashville and Atlanta, and finally back home to San Luis Obispo. All in all, it will be 26 different cities. We’ve been fortunate enough to be working with a booking agent who is putting in a lot of hard work getting us these shows. We’ll be traveling in our trusty Ford E-350, affectionately known as ‘Jean-Claude Band-Van.’ He’s one hell of a BelgianAmerican.” Joshua Tree-based act Gene Evaro Jr. will open the SLO Brew Rock show. “They’re locked so tight into the everpresent groove, even James Brown would approve,” Larson said about Evaro Jr. “This will be our last show in town until at least fall. We’ll also be at Lightning In A Bottle music festival this year.” Próxima Parada released their last album, Big Seven, in 2017. Their single, “Time In A Circle,” won a New Times Music Award for Best R&B/Blues song. Catch their fun fever!

The royal treatment

Dave Stamey—eight-time winner of the Western Music Association (WMA) Entertainer of the Year and WMA Hall of Fame inductee—plays the Fountain Pavilion in the Santa Maria Fairpark on Saturday, March 23, in a fundraiser for Royal Family KIDS, an all-volunteer nonprofit that serves foster children (6 to 10 p.m.; all ages; $480 for a table for eight at my805tix.com). “Royal Family KIDS invites you to come experience a benefit dinner like never before,” organizers said. “You’ll be treated royally; it’s the Royal Family Way.” The pavilion will be decorated Western style, with auction items displayed in the “Western General Store.” A Western barbecue with all the fixings will be served, and auctioneer Jim Glines will run the show, which ends with an intimate concert with Dave Stamey, a Western poet and songwriter.

Music Con!

The fourth annual Central Coast Music Con comes to the SLO Brew Rock Event Center on Sunday, March 24 (noon; all ages; free but register to attend at bigbigslo.com/music-con). The annual music industry conference, brought to you by Vince Cimo, Saucepot

Studios, and Big Big SLO!, features tons of networking chances for anyone in the local music biz, plus there will be jamming opportunities and a $10 after-party with live performances by Mannequins by Day, Upside Ska, and Wordsauce. Check the website for the complete list of workshops. This is the place to be for venues, promoters, bands, musicians, event planners, music businesses, and anyone else looking to connect with the local music industry. This year’s keynote speaker is Red Light Management honcho Bruce Flohr (Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews).

Wessel strikes again! Longtime local musician and multiinstrumentalist John Wessel, perhaps our most venerated bar band warrior, has released yet another album of original material, Angel in my Eyes, a collection of songs that is immediately accessible. He’s been at the music game for so long that he seems to take in by osmosis the rock cover songs he often plays, exhaling them into originals that fit right into classic genres his bands Shameless and Sweet Leaf play. His new album is available at Rhombus Records (rhombus-records.com) or at one of his many upcoming gigs: See Sweet Leaf at Cambria Pines Lodge on Sunday, March 24 (8 p.m.), or Shameless at Cambria Pines Lodge on Saturday, March 30 (9 p.m.). ∆ Keep up with New Times Senior Staff Writer Glen Starkey via Twitter at twitter. com/glenstarkey, friend him at facebook. com/glenstarkey, or contact him at gstarkey@newtimesslo.com.

The band is killin’!” LA-based rocker Vanessa Silberman and Boston touring artist Carissa Johnson are rolling through SLO Town on their Bigger & Better Tour with a stop in Frog and Peach on Wednesday, March 27 (10 p.m.; 21-and-older; free). Audiofemme.com named Silberman one of the hardest working bands of 2017 and 2018 after she played more than 200 shows in 2017 alone. She has a similar punk-inflected sound as Liz Phair.

AFTERPARTY The fourth annual Central Coast Music Con runs from noon to 6 p.m. on March 24 at the SLO Brew Rock Event Center, followed by a three-band after-party, including Mannequins by Day.

Where the wild things are Animal Friends exhibit explores nature, wildlife through art and poetry

rroyo Grande artist Jeri Edwards is a wildlife painter who simply doesn’t do plein air paintings. Edwards prefers to be a bit more mindful and in-the-moment when she’s out in nature, and painting doesn’t exactly jibe with that. “I like to be more active outdoors in terms of hiking, walking, listening,” Edwards said. “And then I bring that back with me into my studio.” So Edwards’ artistic process typically involves working from a photo or memory once she’s back at her studio painting and creating away in gouache (an opaque watercolor), acrylic, ink, or collage. Edwards’ work, along with the works of local poets, is currently on display at the Atascadero Library as part of the Animal Friends exhibit. While Edwards now lives in the hills of Arroyo Grande, she grew up back east in North Carolina with the woods as her backyard. “When I’m in the woods, I just feel at home,” she said. “There’s this instant comfort level. I cannot be without that.” Edwards is a fur mom to two rescue dogs, Roadie and Zinnia, but any time she sees a dog out and about, she’s struck by the pure expression of happiness on its face as it dives into the water at the beach, or runs after a ball. Such joy is a feeling that she aims to capture in paintings like Smiley, which features a whimsical, cheery depiction of an undoubtedly good dog with a white face and brown ears, donning that signature dopey, open-mouthed smile. At home, Edwards has an entire wall of dog paintings that never fails to make her grin when she walks by it.

“I don’t know that dog personally,” Edwards said of the pup in Smiley. “I may have taken a photo of a dog and then painted it. It’s the expression that I’m after. Dogs exude such unbridled joy. I can’t help but try and capture that in art.” She is also an avid bird watcher. While Edwards couldn’t possibly pick just one bird as her favorite, time and time again herons fi nd their way into her pieces. Her painting Great Blue Heron shows a somewhat abstract view of a heron triumphantly holding a fish in its mouth. “I love how they fish for fish,” she said. “I love their elegant skulking. Great Blue Herons catch my attention because of their coloring and their eyes.” Edwards’ work is always playful and filled with bright, bold colors that she finds in nature. “I go into my studio

and give myself permission to play,” Edwards said. “The goal is to explore and be creative. Every day is different in nature. You can’t go to the same trail and see the same things every time. I’m excited about that. I want to continue to marvel at nature.” Δ Arts Writer Ryah Cooley is off hiking with her two pit bulls, Lola and Hercules. Send her a message at rcooley@newtimesslo.com.

Cambria Center for the Arts takes on the serious side of comedy with The Sunshine Boys

Comedy isn’t all rainbows, and this is well shown in the Cambria Center for the Arts’ (CCAT) staging of Neil Simon’s (Lost in Yonkers, The Odd Couple) 1972 Broadway hit, The Sunshine Boys, which gives audiences a glimpse into the not-so-happy side of making jokes for a living.

TRIGONOMETRY FOR THE WIN The new documentary, Apollo 11, transports viewers back to those heady days in 1969 when NASA sent men, including Buzz Aldrin (left), to the moon for the first time, screening exclusively at The Palm. 1995, former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) becomes the superhero Captain Marvel, joining an intergalactic cohort called Starforce before returning home to discover Earth is caught in a war between two alien species. The plot is a bit more complicated than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s above. The story opens when Vers, as Carol is known in the Kree capital planet of Hala, is training to become a Kree warrior. Her problem, as her training partner and team leader Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) tells her, is she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control her emotions when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in battle. Vers is a bit of hot mess. Women, right? She suffers from nightmares involving another woman (Annette Bening), and she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember her past. Much of the film moves back and forth in time as Carol slowly pieces together her life before she became a Kree fighter and member of Starforce, which is at war with the Skrulls, shape-shifting aliens who can disguise themselves as anyone they come in contact with. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give too much of the inventive plot away. Part of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun is that viewers are as much in the dark about Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening between the Kree and the Skrulls as she is. Suffice it to say, the story heats up when Carol eventually find herself back on Earth, where her arrival, crashing through the roof of a Blockbuster Video store and finding communication gear at a Radio Shackâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely 1995â&#x20AC;&#x201D;draws the attention of the authorities, specifically Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), an agent of a fledgling covert group called S.H.I.E.L.D. Overall, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an entertaining origin story of Captain Marvel as well as a rousing feminist

BLOOD IS THICKER The epic crime drama, Birds of Passage (PĂĄjaros de Verano), chronicles the rise and fall of an indigenous Wayuu family in the Colombian drug trade of the 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, screening exclusively at The Palm. saga as Carol discovers who she is and what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capable of. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how Brie Larson would be as Captain Marvel, but thankfully she approaches the role with humor. Gotta love an actress named after cheese, right? Superhero movies that take themselves too seriously are usually terrible, which is why Thor: The Dark World (2013) was a bit of a dud for me while Thor: Ragnarok (2017) was a blast. Superhero stories are inherently ridiculous, and when the stories and characters acknowledge that, even winkingly, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more fun.

Vers comes off as irreverent and bordering on disrespectful of her superiors. As she learns more about her past, she begins to suspect sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been manipulated. She eventually locates her old pilot friend, Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch), now retired from the Air Force and living a quiet life with her daughter, Monica (Akira Akbar), who still remembers Auntie Carol from the old days. Vers makes a great role model for Monica, who also gets to see her mom get back into pilot action. Jackson as Nick Fury has a lot of fun in his role and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem phased by the strong women around him, but the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scene stealer is Goose, a big orange tabby. With lots of great action sequences, solid special effects, and a classic tee-up for future sequels, Captain Marvel manages to entertain and inspire without resorting to didactic lecturing, but viewers will certainly be reminded of the old adage, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge a book by its cover.â&#x20AC;?

EVERYBODY KNOWS

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Matinee Where’s it showing? Galaxy, The Palm Asghar Farhadi (The Salesman, A Separation) directs Penélope Cruz as Laura, a woman who returns to her hometown in Madrid to attend her sister’s wedding, only to be led through a flurry of emotions when her daughter is kidnapped. This whirlwind drama is Iranian writer-director Farhadi’s first film with a script in Spanish. This film is less concerned with quickly getting to the dramatic point of the film and instead lets the audience really learn about the characters and their habitual routines. We have time to figure what role each character has in the story that’s about to unfold. After not visiting for years, Laura and her two children are returning to her roots in Madrid. She currently lives in Argentina with her husband, who suspiciously was not able to attend the family affair. We’re instantly thrown into the scene of a very expressive and happy family that owns and runs a hotel where the festivities will take place. The camera first focuses largely on Laura’s daughter, Irene (Carla Campra), a free-spirited young girl who flirts with a neighboring boy, Felipe (Sergio Castellanos). We’re also introduced to Paco (Javier Bardem), Laura’s former love interest, who lives with his wife, Bea, on a vineyard that they work on the outskirts of town. The vineyard is the cause of an underlying rift between Paco and the family, as he purchased the land from Laura some years ago. He attends the wedding with his wife, but the repressed feelings between him and Laura are there. One minute we’re sucked into the laughter, music, and dance of the ceremonial festivities; the next we’re on the edge of our seats as Laura has discovered her daughter was taken from her bedroom. Laura’s first instinct is to ask Paco for help. The kidnappers are asking for a ransom and instruct the family to not alert the authorities or else they’ll hurt Irene. Not only does Paco leave the police out of this, he suspiciously doesn’t tell anyone outside of the family what’s going on. As the story thickens and as, in small-town fashion, everyone starts talking about the incident, the chatter turns to speculating that maybe the kidnapper is Laura’s husband. The gossip also turns to questioning Paco’s motive for being so heavily involved in the search for Irene. Farhadi does a stellar job of lingering on these characters and pushing their emotions to the limit with the disappearance of a child. While I do appreciate the time Farhadi took to develop the story, I think it was a half-hour too long. It’s smartly written, has an amazing cast, and leaves the audience to second-guess whodunit. I will say there are many twists within the story that the audience doesn’t really see coming, but in the end we all know. (133 min.; in Spanish, English, and Catalan). —Karen

What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? The Palm While the blockbuster Captain Marvel is setting box office records at multiplexes across the country with its actionpacked tale of female empowerment, a much more realistic, potent, and important feminist saga is unfolding in Michael Winterbottom’s exceptional new crime thriller, The Wedding Guest. It centers on Samira (Radhika Apte), a young Pakistani woman educated in the U.K. from age 12, who’s now been taken back to Pakistan for her wedding arranged by her family. Long before we see Samira, however, we’re introduced to Jay, who’s packing for a trip abroad. We see him arrive, take a cab to a car rental agency, drive, park, and rent another car, drive to a gun shop, buy two semi-automatic handguns, and drive to a hardware store and buy duct tape. Something’s afoot, but Winterbottom keeps us in the dark. Jay finally arrives at the upcoming wedding festivities and, through a child interpreter, he explains his distant relationship to the lucky couple and is welcomed in. It’s a bit of a spoiler to reveal he’s there to kidnap Samira, and suffice it to say, the event doesn’t go without complications. What follows is Jay and Samira’s trip across Pakistan and into India, where they’re to meet Samira’s Indian boyfriend (Jim Sarbh), who hired Jay to bring Samira to him. Gritty realism permeates the film, and Patel delivers an intense and focused performance as Jay, a mysterious man we never really get to know. When the violence comes, it feels like it has real consequences. This isn’t a slick James Bond or Jason Bourne thriller. Apte is terrific as Samira, a woman raised in a misogynist and patriarchal culture that thinks of women as property. Her education in the U.K. has led to a rejection of her traditional role, and though she thought her boyfriend was the key to her escape from an arranged marriage, he turns out to be no more enlightened about her autonomy than her family. She’s trapped in the virgin-whore dichotomy. Through their intense adventure and close proximity, she and Jay find their complicated relationship becoming ever more complicated, but can she trust a man whose real name she doesn’t know and who’s willing to kidnap for money? How can she regain agency and reclaim her own life? That’s the story’s central question. This is a visually arresting film with cinematography by Giles Nuttgens (Hell or High Water) and a potent score by Harry Escott (A Mighty Heart, Shame)—both of which give the movie an epic feel. I wasn’t expecting the ending, and yet it was perfect. (97 min.) —Glen

LUNCH SPREAD We did not leave hungry from our lunch stop into the recently opened Asian Bistro. THAT SAUCE THOUGH Asian Bistro’s Hot Stone Bibimbap sizzles for several minutes after it gets to the table. It comes with delicious housefermented, spicy-sweet sauce to drizzle all over the bowl as you mix that egg yolk in with rice, beef, and fresh veggies.

When the building that The Naked Fish once lived in became available, he snatched it up. It’s right downtown—a good spot, he says. And while there are a lot of Japanese restaurants in town, there isn’t a lot of Korean food. And Korean food is definitely Steve’s jam. “I focus on Korean food because I’m Korean,” Steve says. “Many other places focus on American-style.” Steve’s been working on getting his Korean recipes perfect for years, he says, when Karen asks him how long it took him to perfect his kimchi. And that kimchi is still crunchy, a little bit spicy (not too spicy), with a nice kick of fermentation. He also tells us that he made the pickles served at the end of a plate of Fire on Fire sushi roll—shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, yellowtail, masago, and ponzu sauce.

I love Japanese pickles. Fresh cucumbers, sliced thin, and thrown in some vinegar with a little bit of salt and sugar. What’s not to like? Karen Speaking of Camillia’s love for Japanese pickles, they’re a beautiful addition to the most colorful dish on the table, Steve’s Japanese ceviche. Pieces (or should I say large sashimifileted chunks) of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail are served pyramid style in a bowl covering seaweed salad, lots of lettuce, Japanese pickles, and topped with yellowtail shaped into a flower and drizzled with cilantro chili sauce. It’s the most refreshing appetizer, and it could easily pass as someone’s main dish, as the serving size is huge. What I generally like about Steve’s dishes is FLAVOR continued page 46

FLAVOR from page 44

that if the menu says something has chili or is spicy, it’s only a hint and doesn’t overpower the already flavorful food. As Steve tells us about his past experiences as a sushi chef, he shows us a picture of himself with the Twin Towers in the background. It looks like it could be a selfie before selfies were even a thing, and it’s amazing. I ask Steve why we decided to become a chef, and he simply replies: “It’s my job.” He has a knack for food and a drive to perfect his own flavors into dishes. ∆

Cheeseheads: Somebody’s Gouda is really good. It’s Cal Poly Creamery students’! Those cheesemaking students competed in the U.S. Cheese Championship Contest in Green Bay, Wisconsin (so you know this is serious!): 2,555 entries from 35 states competed in 116 cheese and butter categories. It sounds good, right? Cal Poly’s studentproduced Grand Gouda took third place, and its smoked Gouda took fifth! Woot! This fall Cal Poly introduced three new cheeses, including the two winners, as part of a larger re-envisioning of the Cal Poly Creamery facility, equipment, and products. Cal Poly dairy products are

produced on-site, using milk from dairy cows raised and managed on campus by students. The creamery produces a variety of cheeses, ice cream, chocolate milk, and eggnog that are for sale both on campus in select San Luis Obispo markets (you can salivate for yourself by visiting calpolycreamery. com) … Buona Tavola in downtown San Luis Obispo was just awarded Specialist of the Month by the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma from Prosciutto di Parma’s Specialist Program. The group of specialists is recognized by the Consorizio for their expertise in serving prosciutto and upholding the tradition, quality, and service associated with Prosciutto di Parma—which incidentally goes pretty great with Gouda.

D INE ’N’ DISH For the throne

Yes Cocktail Co. from Paso Robles might be onto something. Their PR people sent out an email with the subject line: “The Mother of Cocktails: Game of Thrones inspired.” Who wouldn’t open that? I definitely opened it, and yes, it’s a couple of recipes created with Yes Cocktail Co.’s hancrafted cocktail mixers and syrups. But wouldn’t you like to sit down with an icy glass of the Night’s Watch or the Red Wedding as you dig into the final season of Game of Thrones? “The Night’s Watch is the perfect way to start the party, like Jon Snow says, ‘Night gathers, and now my party begins.’ While the Red Wedding cocktail is a toast to those that will forever be in our hearts,” the email stated. OK, I’m convinced. Let’s do this. Here are their recipes: Night’s Watch 1 1/2 ounces Cognac 3/4 ounces bitter amaro 1/4 ounce green Chartreuse 1/2 ounce Yes Cocktail Co. orange clove mixer Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice sphere or cube. Get your royal drink on. Red Wedding 1 ounce tequila 1 ounce mezcal 3/4 ounces Yes Cocktail Co. blood orange and chili pepper mixer 1/4 ounce Ancho Reyes Verde Liqueur 3/4 ounces fresh lime juice Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake it like a Polaroid picture. Strain into a rocks glass with ice and a salted rim. Come on. You know what to do. Find more recipes at yescocktailco.com, where incidentally you can also find the array of cocktail mixers this local company is peddling—which include an intriguing charred oak and maple syrup mixer that sounds like it will do my bourbon right. ∆ Editor Camillia Lanham is all about a cocktail that includes bourbon, or really, just bourbon, period.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

REGARDING ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2019-1 (SAN LUIS RANCH) Notice is hereby given that on February 19, 2019, the City Council (the “City Council”) of the City of San Luis Obispo (the “City”) adopted a Resolution entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo of Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes” (the “Resolution”). Pursuant to Section 53322 of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, the City Council hereby gives notice as follows: A. The text of the Resolution is as follows: WHEREAS, the City Council (the “City Council”) of the City of San Luis Obispo (the “City”) has received a written petition (the “Petition”) from MI San Luis Ranch, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Landowner”), requesting the institution of proceedings for the establishment of a community facilities district (the “Community Facilities District”), describing the boundaries of the territory that is proposed for inclusion in the Community Facilities District and specifying the types of facilities to be financed by the Community Facilities District; WHEREAS, the Landowner has represented and warranted to the City Council that the Landowner is the owner of 100% of the territory proposed to be included within the Community Facilities District and not proposed to be exempt from the special tax and that there are no registered voters residing in the territory proposed to be included within the Community Facilities District; WHEREAS, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “Act”), the City Council is authorized to establish the Community Facilities District; WHEREAS, Section 53314.9 of the Act provides that, at any time either before or after the formation of a community facilities district, the legislative body may accept advances of funds from any source, including, but not limited to, private persons or private entities and may provide, by resolution, for the use of those funds for any authorized purpose, including, but not limited to, paying any cost incurred by the local agency in creating a community facilities district; WHEREAS, Section 53314.9 of the Act further provides that the legislative body may enter into an agreement, by resolution, with the person or entity advancing the funds, to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced, as determined by the legislative body, with or without interest, under all the following conditions: (a) the proposal to repay the funds is included in both the resolution of intention to establish a community facilities district adopted pursuant to Section 53321 of the Act and in the resolution of formation to establish a community facilities district pursuant to Section 53325.1 of the Act, (b) any proposed special tax is approved by the qualified electors of the community facilities district pursuant to the Act, and (c) any agreement shall specify that if the qualified electors of the community facilities district do not approve the proposed special tax, the local agency shall return any funds which have not been committed for any authorized purpose by the time of the election to the person or entity advancing the funds; WHEREAS, the City and the Landowner intend to enter into a Deposit and Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2019 (the “Deposit Agreement”), that provides for the advancement of funds by the Landowner to be used to pay costs incurred in connection with the establishment of the Community Facilities District and the issuance of special tax bonds thereby, and provides for the reimbursement to the Landowner of such funds advanced, without interest, from the proceeds of any such bonds issued by the Community Facilities District; and WHEREAS, the City desires to include in this Resolution, in accordance with Section 53314.9 of the Act, the proposal to repay funds pursuant to the Deposit Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: Section 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct. Section 2. The City Council hereby finds that the Petition is signed by the owner of the requisite amount of land proposed to be included in the Community Facilities District. Section 3. The City Council proposes to establish a community facilities district under the terms of the Act. The boundaries of the territory proposed for inclusion in the Community Facilities District are described in the map showing the proposed Community Facilities District (the “Boundary Map”) on file with the City Clerk of the City (the “City Clerk”), which boundaries are hereby preliminarily approved and to which map reference is hereby made for further particulars. The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original Boundary Map and record, or cause to be recorded, the Boundary Map with all proper endorsements thereon in the office of the San Luis Obispo County Recorder within 15 days of the date of adoption of this Resolution, all as required by Section 3111 of the California Streets and Highways Code. Section 4. The name proposed for the Community Facilities District is “City of San Luis Obispo Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (San Luis Ranch)”. Section 5. The public facilities (the “Facilities”) proposed to be financed by the Community Facilities District pursuant to the Act are described under the caption “Facilities” on Exhibit A hereto, which is by this reference incorporated herein. All of the Facilities to be financed will have an estimated useful life of five years or longer. They are public improvements that the City or another governmental entity is authorized by law to construct, own or operate or to which they contribute revenue. The Facilities to be financed are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as the result of the development planned to occur in the proposed Community Facilities District. The incidental expenses proposed to be incurred are identified under the caption “Formation, Administrative and Incidental Expenses” on Exhibit A hereto. All or any portion of the Facilities may be financed through a financing plan, including, but not limited to, a lease, lease-purchase or installment-purchase arrangement. To the extent the Facilities will not be constructed by the City, in the opinion of the City the public interest will not be served by allowing the property owners in the Community Facilities District to intervene in a public bidding process pursuant to Section 53329.5(a) of the Act. Section 6. Except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay for all Facilities, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the Community Facilities District, will be annually levied within the Community Facilities District. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax (the “Rate and Method”), in sufficient detail to allow each landowner within the proposed Community Facilities District to estimate the maximum amount that he or she will have to pay, is described in Exhibit B attached hereto, which is by this reference incorporated herein. The conditions under which the obligation to pay the special tax to pay for Facilities may be prepaid and permanently satisfied are specified in the Rate and Method. The special tax will be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in such other manner as the City Council shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners. Section 7. The tax year after which no further special tax to pay for Facilities will be levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes is specified in the Rate and Method. Under no circumstances shall the special tax to pay for Facilities in any fiscal year against any parcel used for private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the Community Facilities District by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. For purposes of this paragraph, a parcel shall be considered “used for private residential purposes” not later than the date on which an occupancy permit for private residential use is issued. Section 8. Pursuant to Section 53344.1 of the Act, the City Council hereby reserves to itself the right and authority to allow any interested owner of property within the Community Facilities District, subject to the provisions of said Section 53344.1 and to those conditions as it may impose, and any applicable prepayment penalties as prescribed in the bond indenture or comparable instrument or document, to tender to the Community Facilities District treasurer in full payment or part payment of any installment of the special taxes or the interest or penalties thereon which may be due or delinquent, but for which a bill has been received, any bond or other obligation secured thereby, the bond or other obligation to be taken at par and credit to be given for the accrued interest shown thereby computed to the date of tender. Section 9. The City Council hereby fixes Tuesday, April 2, 2019, at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the City Council may reach the matter, at 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, as the time and place when and where the City Council will conduct a public hearing on the establishment of the Community Facilities District. Section 10. The City Clerk is hereby directed to publish, or cause to be published, a notice of said public hearing one time in a newspaper of general circulation published in the area of the proposed Community Facilities District. The publication of said notice shall be completed at least seven days prior to the date herein fixed for said public hearing. Said notice shall contain the information prescribed by Section 53322 of the Act. Section 11. The levy of said proposed special tax shall be subject to the approval of the qualified electors of the Community Facilities District at a special election. Because there are no registered voters in the proposed Community Facilities District and there are expected to be no registered voters on the date of the election, the landowners will be the qualified electors pursuant to the Act. The proposed voting procedure shall be by mailed or hand-delivered ballot among the landowners in the Community Facilities District, with each owner having one vote for each acre or portion of an acre such owner owns in the Community Facilities District. Section 12. Each officer of the City who is or will be responsible for providing one or more of the proposed types of Facilities is hereby directed to study, or cause to be studied, the proposed Community Facilities District and, at or before said public hearing, file a report with the City Council containing a brief description of the Facilities by type which will in his or her opinion be required to adequately meet the needs of the Community Facilities District, and his or her estimate of the cost of providing the Facilities. Such officers are hereby also directed to estimate the fair and reasonable cost of the Facilities proposed to be purchased as completed public facilities and of the incidental expenses proposed to be paid. Such report shall be made a part of the record of said public hearing. Section 13. The Deposit Agreement, in substantially the form submitted to this meeting and made a part hereof as though set forth herein, be and the same is hereby approved. Each of the City Manager or Finance Director of the City, or the designee of such officer (each, an “Authorized Officer”), is hereby authorized, and any one of the Authorized Officers is hereby directed, for and in the name of the City, to execute and deliver the Deposit Agreement in the form submitted to this meeting, with such changes, insertions and omissions as the Authorized Officer executing the same may require or approve, such requirement or approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution of the Deposit Agreement by such Authorized Officer. Section 14. The Landowner has heretofore advanced certain funds, and may advance additional funds, which have been or may be used to pay costs incurred in connection with the establishment of the Community Facilities District and the issuance of special tax bonds thereby. The City Council proposes to repay all or a portion of such funds expended for such purpose, solely from the proceeds of such bonds, pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. Section 15. The officers, employees and agents of the City are hereby authorized and directed to take all actions and do all things which they, or any of them, may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Resolution and not inconsistent with the provisions hereof. Section 16. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. B. The map of the Community Facilities District and the exhibits to the Resolution which describe the Facilities proposed to be financed by the Community Facilities District and the Rate and Method are on file in the office of the City Clerk and are hereby referred to for detail. C. The time and place of the hearing on the establishment of the Community Facilities District are Tuesday, April 2, 2019, at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the City Council may reach the matter, at 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California. D. At the hearing, the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers for or against the establishment of the Community Facilities District, the extent of the Community Facilities District or the furnishing of specified types of public facilities will be heard. At the hearing, protests against the establishment of the Community Facilities District, the extent of the Community Facilities District or the furnishing of specified types of public facilities within the Community Facilities District may be made orally or in writing by any interested person, as provided in Section 53323 of the Act. If 50 percent or more of the registered voters, or six registered voters, whichever is more, residing within the territory proposed to be included in the Community Facilities District, or the owners of one-half or more of the area of land in the territory proposed to be included in the Community Facilities District and not exempt from the special tax, file written protests against the establishment of the Community Facilities District, and the protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the value of the protests to less than a majority, no further proceedings to create the Community Facilities District or to authorize the special tax may be taken for a period of one year from the date of the decision of the City Council. If the majority protests of the registered voters or of the landowners are only against the furnishing of a specified type or types of facilities within the Community Facilities District, or against levying a specified special tax, those types of facilities or the specified special tax will be eliminated from the resolution of formation. E. The proposed voting procedure for the Community Facilities District is by mailed or hand-delivered ballot among the landowners in the Community Facilities District, with each owner having one vote for each acre or portion of an acre such owner owns in the Community Facilities District.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: April 2, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept: 9, in Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, located at 1035 Palm St., Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology Homework: What’s the thing you lost that should stay lost? What’s the thing you lost that you should find? Freewillastrology.com. ARIES

LIBRA

(March 21-April 19): During the coming weeks, everything that needs to happen will indeed happen only if you surprise yourself on a regular basis. So I hope you will place yourself in unpredictable situations where you won’t be able to rely on well-rehearsed responses. I trust that you will regard innocence and curiosity and spontaneity as your superpowers. Your willingness to change your mind won’t be a mark of weakness but rather a sign of strength.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Born under the sign of Libra, Ivan Kharchenko (1918–1989) was a military officer and engineer for the Soviet army. His specialty was disarming explosive devices before they detonated. Over the course of his career, he defused an estimated 50,000 bombs and mines. Let’s make him your patron saint for the coming weeks. Why? Because I suspect you will be able to summon a metaphorical version of his power: an extraordinary capacity to keep volatile situations from blowing up. You’ll be a virtuoso at waging peace and preventing strife.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the animated kids’ film Over the Hedge, 10 talking animals come upon a massive, towering hedge they’ve never seen. The friendly group consists of a skunk, red squirrel, box turtle, two opossums, and five porcupines. The hedge perplexes and mystifies them. It makes them nervous. There’s nothing comparable to it in their previous experience. One of the porcupines says she would be less afraid of it if she just knew what it was called, whereupon the red squirrel suggests that from now on they refer to it as “Steve.” After that, they all feel better. I recommend that you borrow their strategy in the coming weeks. If a Big Unknown arrives in your vicinity, dub it “Steve” or “Betty.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I urge you to locate a metaphorical or very literal door that will give you access to a place that affords you more freedom and healing and support. Maybe you already know about the existence of this door—or maybe it’s not yet on your radar. Here’s advice from Clarissa Pinkola Éstes that might help: “If you have a deep scar, that is a door,” she writes. “If you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much that you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Musician Carole Kaye is the most famous bass guitarist you’ve never heard of. Over the course of five decades, she has plied her soulful talents on more than 10,000 recordings, including gems by Frank Zappa, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, Simon and Garfunkel, and the Beach Boys. Twenty-seven-time Grammy winner Quincy Jones has testified that Kaye has written “some of the most beautiful themes I’ve ever heard in my life” and that she “could do anything and leave men in the dust.” I trust this horoscope will expand the number of people who appreciate her. I also hope you’ll be inspired to become more active in spreading the word about the gifts that you have to offer the world. It’s high time to make sure that people know more of the beautiful truth about you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “When you want happiness, what are you wanting?” asks aphorist Olivia Dresher. The repeat of an event that made you feel good in the past? A sweet adventure you’ve thought about but never actually experienced? Here’s a third possibility. Maybe happiness is a state you could feel no matter what your circumstances are; maybe you could learn how to relax into life exactly as it is, and feel glad about your destiny wherever it takes you. In my opinion, Leo, that third approach to happiness will be especially natural for you to foster in the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There are old traditions in many cultures that pay special attention to the first brick or stone that is laid in the earth to initiate the construction of a future building. It’s called a cornerstone or foundation stone. All further work to create the new structure refers back to this original building block, and depends on it. I’m pleased to inform you that now is a favorable phase to put your own metaphorical cornerstone in place, Virgo. You’re ready to begin erecting a structure or system that will serve you for years to come. Be sure you select the right place for it, as well as the best building materials.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There was a time, less than a century ago, when pink was considered a masculine color and blue a feminine hue. In previous eras, many European men sported long hair, wore high heels, and favored clothes with floral patterns. Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of America’s most prominent 20th-century presidents, sometimes wore skirts and featherbedecked hats as a child. With these facts as your keystone, and in accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you to experiment with your own gender expressions in the coming weeks. It’s prime time to have fun with the way you interpret what it means to be a man or woman—or any other gender you might consider yourself to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to estimates by population experts, about 109 billion humans have been born on planet Earth over the millennia. And yet I’m quite sure that not a single one of those other individuals has been anything like you. You are absolutely unique, an unmatched treasure, a one-of-a-kind creation with your own special blend of qualities. And in my prophetic view, you’re ready to fully acknowledge and celebrate these facts on a higher octave than ever before. It’s high time for you to own your deepest authenticity; to work with extra devotion to express your soul’s code; to unabashedly claim your idiosyncratic genius.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): We don’t know as much about European history between the sixth and ninth centuries as we do about other eras. Compared to the times that preceded and followed it, cultural and literary energies were low. Fewer records were kept. Governments were weaker and commerce was less vigorous. But historians don’t like to use the term “Dark Ages” to name that period because it brought many important developments and activities, such as improvements in farming techniques. So in some ways, “Lost Ages” might be a more apropos descriptor. Now let’s turn our attention to a metaphorically comparable phase of your own past, Capricorn: an era that’s a bit fuzzy in your memory, a phase about which your understanding is incomplete. I suspect that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to revisit that part of your life and see what new evidence and insights you can mine.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Why do some American libraries ban certain books, ensuring they’re unavailable to local readers? The reasons may be because they feature profanity or include references to sex, drug use, the occult, atheism, and unusual political viewpoints. Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis is one of the most frequently censored books. Others are Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Beloved, by Toni Morrison, and The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. In my astrological opinion, these are exactly the kinds of books you should especially seek out in the coming weeks. In fact, I suggest you commune with a variety of art and ideas and influences that are controversial, provocative, and intriguing.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20): At the age of 97, Piscean cartoonist Al Jaffee is still creating new material for the satirical Mad magazine, where he has worked since 1964. There was one 63-year stretch when his comic stylings appeared in all but one of Mad’s monthly issues. I nominate him to be your role model during the next four weeks. It’s a favorable time for you to access and express a high degree of tenacity, stamina, and consistency. ∆
