usually bathes in her outdoor showerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add on a newer one inside or make any renovations without permits, and permits for this area are unusually hard to get. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My neighbors have been red-tagged for building without permits, paying large fines just for trying to improve their properties,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Weighing heaviest on Puccinelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart is that she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build an adjoining home for her daughter, something she wants to do in order to keep the property in her family. As of now, Puccinelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter and grandchildren are moving three hours away for more affordable housing.â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bureaucracy is too slow,â&#x20AC;? Puccinelli says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This should have been addressed already, and now my family has to leave.â&#x20AC;?

Now it is being addressed, but the all-ornothing nature of the proposed solution leaves Puccinelli in a Catch-22.

Last summer the planning commission approved recommendations for the updated general plan that

would ease the restrictions on development of the Golf Club Drive area, and not just for current residents wishing to add a bathroom. The changes would open the door to more than 200 residential units where there are currently four.

The decision will go to city council pending completion of the Environmental Impact Report, possibly at the end of this year.

and partner Dave Currie bought the six acres in 2001 with designs on development. So when the planning commission approved the very recommendations he was hoping for, Swift was more than satisfied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing is set in stone.

[The recommendations] allow to plan for the future. This area is a special place,â&#x20AC;? Swift says. Swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development consultant company, Hamilton-Swift, has been involved with many projects in Santa Cruz, like Costco and Big Creek Lumber, as well as commercial and residential developments in Live Oak and the Seabright area.

Currie helped create the new condos off Western and Empire Grade.

Swift says Golf Club Drive is a prime location for housing and not viable for commercial farming. â&#x20AC;?Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already residentially zoned, and a higher density would allow a chance for affordable housing,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Over time, Golf Club Drive has seen a gradual shift from agricultural to denser residential zoning, yet the 20 acres have stayed virtually the same. This is a result of two factors: Strict policies in the current General Plan keep the area from sprouting development and preserve acreage for agriculture through open space. And more simply, the property owners

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanted to change it.

But Swift, who used to work for the city planning department, sees a smooth transition from rural land to city in what he describes as a vibrant mixed residential neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;made up of single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums and possibly a commons area or plaza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I picture it like the Seabright area,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to build there at first, but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been successful.â&#x20AC;?

While the four property owners are neighborly and share mutual respect, there is a sense of separationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; evident in letters sent to the planning commission after the recommendations were passedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;between the owners with roots in the land (who are mostly retired) and Swift and Currie, who do not live there.

Nevertheless, they all have a stake in land-use designation changes to the General Plan, though driven by different motivesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the developers want to develop and the longtime residents

want to be able to make modifications to their properties.

Since the enactment of the current general plan, the restrictions on development have been so firm that to make additions, build an extra unit or make a minor land division on their own acreages, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to produce a detailed plan for the entire 20 acres. Puccinelli says this has weighed hard on the families that live on Golf Club Drive, so any support the commission gave was something. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To improve my home, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been tied to my neighbors, like in an arranged marriage. And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to come up with the kind of plan the city asks for. We shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be asked to do that,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming together we hoped would make our case stronger.

But now, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be tied to anyone. I just want to do what everyone else can do in the city of Santa Cruz.â&#x20AC;?

The proposed recommendations would keep them tied, however. Should one

want to develop at a higher densityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as Swift and Currie doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all the properties would have to participate in the planning of the area.

Pucinelli says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the area to drastically change, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure none of us do.â&#x20AC;? She sighs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we do want our freedom, and this is the best the city could come up with.â&#x20AC;?

Vacant Lots Like Gold Mark Primack, Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart-growth golden-boy, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ideally, the proper and sustainable solution is for Golf Club Drive to remain agricultural and rural.

Nobody wants to see it built.â&#x20AC;?

During the last General Plan process, large rural lots like Golf Club Drive were given higher densities yet saddled with strict stipulations involving development in an attempt to satisfy state density certification requirements (which rake in funding) 3

j 1C@@3<BA august 5-12, 2009 A/<B/1@CH 1=; 1 C @ @ 3 < B A j = > 3 < A > / 1 3 1 '

and preserve small-town charm, according to Primack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality of the situation is 30 years of insincere planning. The land has sat as a hostage for bad planning. The question then becomes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is the right thing to do?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best and right thing for the city would be to put efforts to transfer the density [that is designated for Golf Club Drive] along the river and downtown, where you want people to be.â&#x20AC;?

Primack envisions a city modeled after towns in Tuscany, where residents cluster near places of work to preserve rural and natural landscapes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leave [Golf Club Drive] agricultural. If the city isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capable of doing that, they should admit it and should be very clear on how it gets developed,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Primack says that holding the property owners in charge of planning for development of the area is a denial of responsibility on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they want to leave it in John Swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands. ... But one would hope the city has broader perspectives,â&#x20AC;? he says.

It would be remiss not to say it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard to sway the planning commission to increase the density and relax restrictions on development. In a city that has almost been built to capacityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at 58,000 now, and with a projected 63,000 in 2030â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Golf Club Drive marks one of only two large undeveloped spaces left in Santa Cruz. Ken Thomas, Santa Cruz principal planner, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residentially zoned land is scarce in this city, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to make the most of it.â&#x20AC;?

Thomas says Primackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of transferring

density is one of many options viable for Golf Club Driveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but those options, he says, are more complicated, and while Golf Club Drive has been historically used for farming, there is enough agriculturally zoned land within the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are blessed for having a lot of land outside the city that is agriculturally zoned,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Even though the area is not on a major transportation corridor or at the core of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;where the updated General Plan stresses higher-density projectsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thomas says its proximity to a major employment center, i.e., Harvey West, is what makes it an exception to the rule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transportation corridors are a goal,â&#x20AC;? Thomas says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare that you have a vacant lot to build housing on.â&#x20AC;?

No Going Back At the Live Oak Farmers Market, Ronald Donkervoortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red shirt looks dull in comparison to his ruby-hued strawberries. As he greets families by name while bagging spinach and elephant kale, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious that he loves what he doesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;providing fresh food for the community. But for him and other local farmers, seeing ag land lost to development is a sensitive issue, and Golf Club Drive is no exception.

Farmers near cities like Santa Cruz usually lease land (often zoned residential) from private property owners. But at the end of the housing boom, many saw their leases end as property owners sold their land to development. Now, the

fields of Golf Club Drive are the last substantial arable acres left within the city.

Donkervoort started farming as a child and is one of the original organic farmers of Golf Club Drive. Traces of his native Holland roll his tongue smoothly as he reminisces about his days at Santa Cruz Farms and Blue Heron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We grew lettuce mixes before people knew there were different kinds: arugula, radicchio ...

That makes me feel old,â&#x20AC;?

Donkervoort says with a chuckle.

With his bright eyes, unshorn beard and shaggy sun-kissed hair, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to imagine the 55-year-old on Puccinelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plot, stomping along the creek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The soil is giving, rich. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right on the water. We used to find arrowheads all the time,â&#x20AC;? he says, shaking his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would the city allow the possibility of paving a gift to the community?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect place not to build, how about that.â&#x20AC;?

Donkervoort, who owns Windmill Farms, had to relocate outside the city to Moss Landing after his lease in Live Oak was cut short to build housing.

While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more secure where land is agriculturally zoned, he prefers what used to be a smaller operation in town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like growing in the community better. People like seeing where their food is being grown, the closer the better,â&#x20AC;? he says.

He says that farmable land canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be createdâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it just exists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That soil can produce so much good food for the community.

The more I read about food food security ... Preserving land for food should be valued over development for once, â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paved, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no going back.â&#x20AC;? 0

Mobile Homeless

Residents of a soon-to-be-dissolved mobile home park consider their future 0G 9/B :G<16

A

COOL coastal breeze flows between the coaches lining the uneven asphalt of the Surf and Sand Mobile Home Park overlooking the Monterey Bay. A community made up largely of retirees, the Capitola parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future is looking dim.

While a few residents use the Surf and Sand as the location of a second home, the formerly over-55 park is the only home to many of its residents, and its closure will leave many homeless.

Since owner Ronald Reed inherited the park from his father in 2002, tension has been brewing between residents and their new landlord. Dissatisfied with the rent control governing the Surf and Sand and seeking to increase income from the park, Reed previously offered to sell the property to the residents collectively. Later he changed the offer: he would sell the individual spaces to park residents, creating a housing subdivision and circumventing Capitolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rent control rules. Now he seeks to close and vacate the park.

Reed surprised residents when he announced the decision to clear the park in December of 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expected to live here for the rest of my life,â&#x20AC;? says Shirley Hill, who recently recovered from a stroke.

Already residents have formed three parkbuying committees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the idea is to make a whole lot more money than just selling to another operator or residents,â&#x20AC;? says Sandy Williams, vice president of the Surf and Sand residents association.

Currently representing Reed in his endeavor to clear the family-owned real estate is successful Southern California property rights attorney Mark Alpert.

Alpert has represented clients that broke strict rent control agreements at mobile home parks in both Sonoma County and Carson, Calif., near Los Angeles. At the moment Alpert is involved in an effort to turn an Oceanside mobile home rental park into a resident-owned community after the city refused to allow his client to raise rents 70 percent. The move would allow the landowner to set any price he wanted for the spaces and circumvent rent control entirely.

In a 2004 speech before the Property Rights Foundation of America, Alpert revealed one strategy for wearing down his opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Litigation is a strategy that works especially when cities are strapped for money. That often brings them to the table. It has worked for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;. . . In essence, what happens is that the cities just get tired of fighting litigation. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to protect the small groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest and bust the budget.â&#x20AC;?

Reed is offering residents between $3,000 and $5,000 apiece for relocation expenses, and this worries advocates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a park owner can close his or her park and gives homeowners a pittance, that is something that would be quickly copied by other park owners,â&#x20AC;? says Terry Hancock, who represents the low- and moderate-income senior residents of the park through Senior Citizens Legal Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is inadequate for how much people have invested in their homes,â&#x20AC;? he adds.

Sandy Williams notes that some residents have spent upwards of $50,000, and even as much as $400,000, outfitting their coaches with new bathrooms, new countertops, side rooms and skylights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of us have refurbished our homes and added decks. They may have been mobile coming into the park, but they certainly arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anymore,â&#x20AC;? says Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are we supposed to do with our homes?â&#x20AC;?

Alpert does not think of the homes in the kindest light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel bad for residents,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people have paid thousands of dollars for their homes.â&#x20AC;?

So much for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;glorified tin can[s],â&#x20AC;? as Alpert referred to them in his Property Rights Foundation of America speech.

Although Reed does not want to get out of the mobile home park business for goodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he and his son own another mobile home park together in Spokane County in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he plans to vacate the lot and says he currently has no further plans to develop it. The Surf and Sand residents have until Dec. 31 of this year to vacate the premises, at which point the utilities will be capped. 0

At Continentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edge Once again, the Cabrillo Festival shows why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the premier American venue for contemporary music 0G A1=BB ;/11:3::/<2

W

ITHOUT looking in the mirror, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never imagine that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d become a senior citizen. Some of us are crooning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baubles, Bangles and Beadsâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;with apologies to Borodinâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;while others of us are humming the Jewel Song from Gounodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Faust. We of the older set may

be forgiven, as our craving for the next treasure chest of new music is intensifying ahead of this Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening night of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music.

The CabMuFestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;our favorite nicknameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just offer the best of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading American composers, to say nothing of their genius counterparts from other countries. It also proves,

summer after summer, that there is a great hunger for excellent new music and, just as important, one that spans many generations. Just look at the Cabrillo audiences. Where else do we see music lovers from their 20s through their 90s gathered with keen anticipation for music none of us has ever heard before? ¨ %

1=D3 @ j /B 1= < B7< 3 < B ¸ A 32 5 3 My own appetite is whetted sharply

by Osvaldo Golijovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Azul, featuring the young cellist Alisa Weilerstein, on Aug. 7, opening night, and Magnus Lindbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seht die Sonne (Behold the Sun) on Aug. 15.

My intrigue for Golijovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music comes from hearing several CDs of his music.

Azul, which takes its name from the blue sky (at Tanglewood, specifically), is a four-movement cello concerto originally composed for Yo-Yo Ma. But Golijov wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely happy with that version, and, in tandem with Weilerstein, reworked it. Along the way, he picked some inspiration from Pablo Nerudaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Heights of Macchu Picchu.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the poem, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this person thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of floating in the air, then he reaches into the very inside of the Earth and comes out again,â&#x20AC;? Weilerstein told The New York Times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that sort of emotional journey that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get through the piece.â&#x20AC;?

My interest in Lindberg came from hearing his Concerto for Orchestra during the 2005 Cabrillo Festival and reading raves for Seht die Sonne by previous skeptics, including Joshua Kosman in the San Francisco Chronicle.

While I am acquainted with several other composers who will be in attendance, some of them are new to me.

In these cases, the crutch of familiarity isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available when writing reviews for publication. So, I take my place in the audience with little better advantage than the person in the next seat, rather than having pored over the program notes just in time and, perhaps, having visited the composersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; websites beforehand. We, and indeed the musicians themselves, are all in this together for the first time. For the many West Coast premieres, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like making history. For the world premieres, it is making history.

Lee Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dead Symphony no. 6 will actually be familiar to some, having been available on a critically praised CD for some while. The 12-movment score will be heard at this Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert, the 14th anniversary of the death of Jerry Garcia, lead guitarist of one of the most inimitable bands in rock history. Among their accomplishments, the Grateful Dead made imitation virtually impossible, spontaneous improvisation being one of their hallmarks.

And where better? Thanks to Prof.

Fred Lieberman, the UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz library houses the Grateful Dead archive.

Unlike Lieberman, Johnson was not a Deadhead. But he was a symphonic composer who takes inspiration from American circumstancesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with such titles as Southern Textiles, Planned Communities, Sandfloor Cathedral, Infinitude and Social Engineering among themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and was

approached by a Grateful Dead fan who saw the legacy of Garcia and company as worthy of a place in the American symphonic pantheon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to start from scratch, do all the research, before I began to compose,â&#x20AC;? Johnson says of his Dead Symphony (number six of nine so far.)

The composer believes strongly in linking his works to contemporary American history, not least its social issues. His third symphony, Trail of Tears, focuses on the Cherokee and uses an American Indian choir and traditional flute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually have a culture that belongs to us,â&#x20AC;? he says, as if American composers have tended to overlook the obvious, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to explore our highs and lows through music.â&#x20AC;? If the Dead Symphony is not familiar, the Grateful Dead tunes should be, even when all gussied up in full-fledged orchestral attire.

If the Dead Symphony is not familiar, the Grateful Dead tunes should be, even when all gussied up in full-fledged orchestral attire.

The parade of composers attending this festival, including the aforementioned, adds Enrico Chapela, whose Inguesu recreates Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic 1999 defeat of Brazil in the FIFA Confederations Cup final in Mexico City. Under Marin Alsopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction, it gets its West Coast premiere this Saturday. The nine-minute symphonic poem enacts the match, play by thrilling play. The piece also pays homage to the great Mexican composer, Carlos Chavez, who served as Cabrillo Festival music director in the early 1970s.

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EARLY Sunday evening and musicians are trickling in to the Civicâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;musicians in flip flops, musicians in blue jeans, musicians in stylish haircuts.

Slowly the orchestra comes awake in a chaos of indelicate morning noises: bleeps and sour yawns and fragments of melody abandoned before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started make sense. Tuning up, the two harpists strain to hear the bell-like tones of their instruments, then fall to chatting. In front of the auditoriumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s empty section D the cellists lean their slick plastic cases against the seats and stand talking like mothers at a soccer game.

Responding to some unseen cue, the milling musicians take their places on the risers. A few words, on this first day of rehearsal, from Ellen Primack, executive director of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. Then Maestra Marin Alsop sets down her Diet Coke and takes the podium.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to hear what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying to the orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;most of us who have come to this open rehearsal are seated in the back of the auditoriumâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but we get the gist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚTwenty percent Death of A Salesman,â&#x20AC;? sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soon clear what she means. Brett Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moments of Bliss, which receives its U.S. premier on Saturday night, rises and

falls repeatedly in ever more frenzied cadences of classical, jazz and pop culture sound bites, straining for something just out of reach.

This is the first time these musicians have played it together, and to my ear itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s astoundingly polished, but Alsop detects rough places. She asks a bass player for more attack, goes back to the scoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter D, then letter F. The audience is rapt.

By the time I leave, maybe 60 music fans have crept into the auditorium to watch this process. Open rehearsals are a tradition at the Cabrillo Music Festival.

If you can afford one concert but not three, you can hear the other two nightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offerings anyway. The festival even offers pre-rehearsal talks to help listeners frame the compositions (this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is Thursday at 6:45pm, when Phil Collins discusses Azul). The free offerings donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there, either; today at 5:15pm the festival presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Works,â&#x20AC;? with new conductors directing the work of new composers. It all adds up to an extraordinary experience anyone can afford. =>3< @363/@A/:A are Aug. 5-6 and Aug. 11-14 at the Civic, 307 Church St., Santa Cruz.

T

his weekend, the Cabrillo Music Art & Wine Festival turns 18 years oldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;legal and ready to party with 14,000 of her best friends (by last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s count). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Festival within a festivalâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201C;goers will have an opportunity to take a family vacation around the globe in just a city block, with musical performances from Ireland to Japan, coupled with food from the farthest reaches of the globe, paired with wines from local vines.

KUSPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brett Taylor will lord over the proceedings on Saturday, when African, Chinese and Irish harpists set the tone before Watsonville trumpet player Eleazar CortĂŠsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mexican mariachi kicks off at high noon, followed by Kuzanga Marimba and Xochipilli CompaĂąia de Danze Mexicana, a festive flurry of skirts and guitars. Havana Jazzâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bosco El Gitanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new outfitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;soothes the festival into late afternoon, followed by Koumbemba, a West African group led

by Karamo, a Senegalese master of the 21string kora. The Desert Dream Company with Orientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;al were selected as a closing act to whet the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appetite for the main event Saturday night inside the Civicâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Spice, Perfumes, Toxins!

Local firecracker Kim Luke emcees Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup, which starts off with tried and true Santa Cruz favorite, the Great Morgani and his Lycra-loving accordion. In late afternoon itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aza, a

western-infused Amazigh and Arabic musical outfit, followed by the boisterous Celtic soul of Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revenge. The minifestival closes out with the China Cats, a local Dead cover band, a warm-up to that nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sugar Magnolia tribute to the Dead inside the Civic.

And one musnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget â&#x20AC;&#x153;art and wineâ&#x20AC;? are this festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle name. Whilst parents plug away at the latest offerings from Bargetto Winery, Beauregard Vineyards and others, the wee tots are free, literally, to run amok in the Creativity Tent for Kids. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshops include a very brave soul in charge of teaching rhythm percussion.

Day two highlights kites, prints, flowers, drawing and digeridoo-making. Creative Reuse Project will unveil its latest and greatest community sculpture, built, as always, from the rediscovered, repurposed and recycled.

And of course, there will be plenty to chew on as attendees eat their way from Chestnut to Center streets. This year, tortilla casserole and Peking chicken wraps headline a spirited lineup of favorites, from shawarma to pizza and everything in between.

Harmonic Convergence

Mouth harp musicians gather for first-ever jazz summit 0G 1C@B7A 1/@B73@

N THE harmonica world, musicians are represented by two separate but equally important groups: the blues players who dominate the limelight and the jazz players who settle for what they can get.

This is the jazz playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really just wanted to be a great saxophone player. So I practiced all the time on the harmonica, and, I think, instead I just became a really good harmonica player,â&#x20AC;? says Damien Masterson, one of eight performers slated to blow his chromatic harmonica at the first annual West Coast Jazz

Harmonica Summit Aug. 10 at the Digital Media Factory in Santa Cruz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very difficult instrument, and there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of people who play it. I think most of the people who play it got bored with the blues harmonica and moved on to jazz, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more challenging and interesting.â&#x20AC;?

Mastersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chromatic harmonica is the hallmark of the jazz harmonica clique and the only kind that will be featured at next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summit. Long, fat and with a full range of octaves, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a much different beast from its smaller, single-octave cousin, the diatonic, or

blues harmonica. For Summit organizer Slim â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slide Manâ&#x20AC;? Heilpern, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a true musicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instrument, not just a noisemaker for jail cells and bayou porches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chromatic harmonica is a very unique instrument,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it, and others just latch on to the style and go with it.â&#x20AC;?

Heilpern isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting a stampede of folks to show up for his shindig.

After accounting for room for the video equipment with which he plans to document the performance, he figures the Digital Media Factory only seats 100, and he expects plenty of tickets to be left at the door. But those who do show up, he says, will get an up-close-and-personal view of a seldom-seen nook of the jazz world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to sell a lot of tickets to this kind of thing,â&#x20AC;? says Heilpern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of the musicians are just looking forward to hanging out with each other and hearing some great music.â&#x20AC;?

Yet jazz harmonica music is not completely obscure. Toots Thielemans, undoubtedly the most recognized name in the genre, is famous in both harmonica and jazz circles. And, though few realize it, music legend Stevie Wonder is considered one of the best jazz harmonica players of all time. On songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;True to Your Heartâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey Harmonica Man,â&#x20AC;? Wonderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knack for the mouth harp is unmistakable.

For one summit performer, it was the mastery of Thielemans that cemented his interest in the chromatic harmonica and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kept him practicing for 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been a blues player for years, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d studied jazz. I finally saw Toots play live in 1979, and that night I decided that was the sound for me,â&#x20AC;? says Jon Eriksen, who weaves a decidedly Latin vibe into his jazz expressions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I think of a blues harmonica, I compare it to a Strat or Les Paul electric guitar.

But a jazz harmonica I think of as a big hollow-body guitar. We all got the little harmonica for a toy when we were kids, but most of them ended up back in the toy box. To me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just amazing to see someone who actually put the time into perfecting an instrument like that.â&#x20AC;?

' ANYONE whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever spent a long night dancing and cheering under the bright stage lights of the Catalyst owes a little debt to Randall Philip Kane. The founder and former owner of the iconic downtown nightclub died of heart complications on July 27 at the age of 85. Most remember him as a bike-riding, rainbow suspendersâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;wearing local artist and businessman, and many credit him with helping to turn Santa Cruz into a routine stop for major musical acts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The man was an icon, what can you say?â&#x20AC;? says Gary Tighe, chief concert booker for the Catalyst and an employee of more than 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For years and years I would meet with him two or three times a week, and every single time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have a new story to tell me. I would laugh every time I saw him.â&#x20AC;?

Kane came to Santa Cruz by way of Minnesota, Ohio and the Pacific Theater of WWII, where he served as a military police officer. A graduate of Ohio State University and a former dean of the San Francisco Art Institute, he had a great appreciation for education, though some argue that his wisdom was more in street smarts. After purchasing an old Pacific Avenue bowling alley and replacing the lanes and pins with a stage and a bar, Kane opened what is now the Catalyst Nightclub on St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day 1976. Since then, huge acts such as Neil Young, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg have graced the stage, many times as last-minute â&#x20AC;&#x153;secret showsâ&#x20AC;? that were spread by word of mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing with him was if you were trying to do something that might make a lot of money but was something that, artistically, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like, you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. He stuck to those principles,â&#x20AC;? says Tighe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember talking to him just a week ago and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting old,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and, you know, it just seemed like it might be his time. He was like a father to me and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss him. So will a lot of people.â&#x20AC;? (Curtis Cartier)

HAT IF the famous moment in Superbad had gone further, with Jonah Hill pushing something more tumid than his finger at something more intimate than Michael Ceraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose?

Or if the massage at the end of Old Joy had gone for the famous happy ending?

Lynn Sheltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odd sitcom Humpday starts where bromance comedy leaves off.

In Seattle, the very married Ben (Mark Duplass) is scheduling his lovemaking with his sweet, placid and equally plump wife, Anna (Alycia Delmore). Sessions are timed for optimum egg delivery: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve removed the goalie,â&#x20AC;? he says. At 2 in the morning on the eve of one procreation session, the doorbell rings; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dear old friend Andrew (Joshua Leonard), who is dropping in without calling first.

Andrew has just arrived from southern Mexico. He is a raffish, bearded Pan disturbing this domestic bliss; for the next couple of days, he crashes in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room.

Later, he picks up a girl and heads to her party house, a place named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dionysus.â&#x20AC;?

Ben wanders in for a fast drink and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wander out until 3am. During a night of drinking, smoking and trance music, a woman mentions an underground porn film festival. Trying to think of something extreme enough to win, the two lads decide that a film of very straight men having gay sex would be a winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond gay,â&#x20AC;? they call it.

Because Ben wants his pal to know that he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bourgeois sellout, he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back down during the hung-over day after. But he is naturally too scared to tell Anna about his plan. Some farcical misunderstandings lead up to a fateful

>7::=E B/:9 Mark Duplass (left) and Joshua Leonard take the bromance premise to its ultimate conclusion.

rendezvous at the Holiday Inn. The wooliness of Humpday adds to the appeal; it also adds to the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downfall. Watching one half-muffed line after another dissolving into nervous laughter, I thought that the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea had been shaped, maybe just not the scenes. But later, the ideas seem elusive, too. Andrew is supposedly just spinning his wheels by teaching art in Chiapas, but why is that not worthwhile? Making this porn is going to be the art project that proves he can finish something he started. Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation will give him the cred to finally tell his buddy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as Kerouac as you think you are.â&#x20AC;?

And Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission will prove that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Betty Crocker either.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear what role lust plays in all of this. Eventually, watching the two men grapple, get queasy and call for time-outs, made me wonder: had director Shelton thought of Humpday as a statement about how so much porn is made under conditions of almost total

sexual disinterestedness? It seems to be a little more straightlaced than that, even.

If Humpday has earned more attention than most mumblecore, maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the film ultimately doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disturb the status quo in anythingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; either male friendships or marriages. The most composed and affectionate shots are of monogamous blissâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the images of Anna and Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. The movie is a bait and switch on the level of James Tobackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar Two Girls and a Guy. In a world full of brave and interesting homemade pornâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;art, smut or what have youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Humpday is not as Jack Kerouac as it thinks it is.

HUMPDAY (R; 95 min.), directed and written by Lynn Shelton, photographed by Benjamin Kasulke and starring Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard, opens Friday.

B63 B67<5 (1982)

Proof positive that movies can be ahead of their time. When this John Carpenter remake of the 50s science fiction classic came out almost 30 years ago, it was roundly hated for its emphasis on shocking special effects and its bleak tone. Over the years, however, the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subtle character touches, its complex questions about identity and human nature, and its effectively icy atmospherics have become more obvious over repeat viewings.

Kurt Russell leads a cast of scientists in Antartica whose research compound is infiltrated by an alien which can camouflage itself as any one of them. Carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version is much truer to the source material than Howard Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1951 version, capturing the paranoia of John W. Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original short story, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who Goes There?â&#x20AC;? And in this age of crappy computer visuals, the special-effects are easier to appreciate than ever. (Plays at the Del Mar on Fri and Sat at midnight.) (SP)

@3D73EA /:73<A 7< B63 /BB71 (PG; 86 min.)

A movie with this title can only mean one of three things: (a) PBS, having run completely out of ideas, is hiring extraterrestrials to travel around and appraise

family heirlooms; (b) James Cameron, having run completely out of ideas, has reshot his 1986 science-fiction hit in his momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loft; or (c) Hollywood, having run completely out of ideas, is desperately trying to combine the alien-invasion genre with family fun. OK, the answerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;c,â&#x20AC;? but it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;aâ&#x20AC;? if PBS had thought of it. (SP) /E/G E3 5= (R; 98 min.) Burt (John Krasinski), an alternainsurance broker, and his pregnant mate, the dour, nervous Verona (Maya Rudolph) seek a community. Sadly, they learn that America is a beautiful country full of ugly people. Not enough jokes, by a long chalk. Alison Janney, the standout, as a sharptongued mom, is only temporary relief from the two leads: the moral and physical center of this movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s universe.

The writers are San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave Eggers and his wife, Vendela Vida, who seek the wonder and freshness in aged platitudes about the innocence of children. (RvB) 0@s<= (R; 82 min.)

Sacha Baron Cohen, late of Borat, purports to be BrĂźno, a past-hisprime Austrian club kid, seeking wider fame.

Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drastic comedy insists that all the worst fears of gay haters are true and screws that point down. It argues that gay people are into flagrantly bizarre sexual practices, will try to recruit straight people relentlessly and will tease and seduce even the violently uninterested. BrĂźno, then, is not a plea for understanding but a shout of rage against homophobia. Watching Cohen in his disguise is like reading H.L. Menckenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;amusement at the rude wit is followed by nauseated despair at universal gullibility. One can be slightly cheered by less well-known citizens who mustâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you prayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have either been in on the joke or had enough good humor to play dumb for this amazing Technicolor Teutonic faun. (RvB)

B63 1=::31B=@ (R; 88 min.) Desperate excon breaks into his new bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, only to find heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second guy to have that idea. # 2/GA =4 AC;;3@ (PG-13; 95

min.) Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a greeting-card writer, has his heart broken by a girl he knew for about two years. She was called Summer (Zooey Deschanel). As Tom recalls this tale in random-accessed moments, we begin to see the bigger picture.

(500) Days of Summer is allegedly an antiromantic film, but the result is yet another alterna-date movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a little brighter, a little more referential, than usual. The scenes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on so long that they wear out their welcome.

And yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so full of negative spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;places where jokes could have been planted, places where the characters could have been deepened. If only director Marc Webb had spent as much time thinking how to fill in the blanks as he spent murmuring, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be Annie Hall for our generation.â&#x20AC;? (RvB) 4C<<G >3=>:3 (R; 146 min.) Forget Adam Sandlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to an actual dramatic role, what shocks everybody about this movie is the trailer that reminds them this is only â&#x20AC;&#x153;the third film from the director of Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin.â&#x20AC;? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all sitting there going, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Judd Apatow make every comedy now? No? Then why the hell is Seth Rogan in all of them?â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in this too, by the way, playing a young comic whom Sandler begins to mentor after having a near-death experience.

(SP) 5 4=@13 (PG; 88

min.) In the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, there was an anime film that was called G-Force in America. It was an American version of the Japanese TV series Gatchaman, about superhero ninjas.

Hollywood is now making a live-action film based on that same

series. However, none of this really has anything to do with anything, since this is not that film. I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anything to say about a stupid Jerry Bruckheimer spy comedy starring computer-animated guinea pigs. (SP)

>6=B=A 1=C@B3AG =4 /<B72=B3 47:;A Â&#x2013; >@=>3@BG =4 A=<G >71BC@3A 1:/AA71A

Song,â&#x20AC;? BB King doing his signature â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Thrill Is Gone,â&#x20AC;? some vintage era James Brown, and the unarguable highlight of the film, Bill Withers.

Too much focus on the Spinal-Tapish goings on behind the scenes makes this an exercise in musical coitusinterruptusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;every time you get into a groove, the film pulls you out.

While When We Were Kings (upon which Levy-Hinte was editor) made Mohammed Ali just about the most fascinating man on earth, the Ali footage here merely reminds you that the quickwitted like to repeat themselves. (Opens Fri at The Nick.) (RvB)

B63 6/<5=D3@ (R; 100 min.) A satisfyingly low comedy with a sturdy plot and the wit to realize that the Three Stooges format is solid gold.Stick with it, since the first third is hit and miss; later, director Todd Phillips solidly builds the situations, thinking up strategies to bolster the risky comedy. (RvB) B63 6C@B :=193@

(R; 138 min.) The soldiers of Bravo Company are stationed in Baghdad for the 2004 fighting. Central to the film is the mystery of Staff Sgt. James (Jeremy Renner) who comes in to replace a slaughtered demolition expert. Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; risk-taking amazes and angers his subordinate, Sgt. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie). The suspenseful, grimly funny script is by coproducer Mark Boal.

Renner is outstanding as the inhumanly brave demolition expert. Director Kathryn Bigelow does what Howard Hawks would do; she finds the cooperation between men of great competence in a killing trade, rather than pumping up rivalry.

Bigelow breaks through the sense of anonymity that characterizes most Iraq war movies, where helmeted men move alike and talk the same terse slang. However, The Hurt Locker takes an essentially knightly view of the war, of men suiting up and closing their visors. Thus this is the first Iraq film an American audience can feel good about. Boalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s script does discover the hollow inside the brave James: the missing part that made him never stop to realize why he did his job. That final revelation is smart filmmaking. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that the hollow inside this movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;inside almost all the war movies, even

0@=B63@A E7B6 /<=B63@ >:/<!!Kbnft!Cspxo!boe!Mmpze!Qsjdf!jo!Ă&#x2022;Tpvm!Qpxfs-Ă&#x2013;!pqfojoh!Gsjebz/

the good onesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as easily seen. If war is a drug, as The Hurt Locker claims, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pushing it? (RvB) ;==< (R; 97 min.)

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is a miner, assigned to a threeyear shift on the dark side of the moon.

His only companion is a living computer named Gerty, with an emoticon face and measured, ambiguous voice by Kevin Spacey.

Sam is counting the days until he gets to go home, but matters start to go wrong. Already, communications with the Earth (and with his beloved wife) are fritzing out, and he sees strange glimpses of another figure through the stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monitors.

The film has its points.

Director/writer Duncan Jones does bring home the moon on $5 million.

He did this with oldfashioned ideas like the use of miniatures and a lunar set. Some fans of Moon argue that its not the technique, or the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s derivative sourcing that matters, as much as what the film has to say about identity. It makes you wonder: how much science fiction writing do science fiction film fans read? Like all horror

stories, Moon must face that terrible point where the audience says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There must be a reasonable explanation for this.â&#x20AC;?

Ultimately, Jones gives us the reasonable explanation, but he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supply a great final twist on a story that would have been deft at 60 minutes on The Outer Limits. (RvB) =¸6=@B3< (PG-13; 97

min.) Quirky and funny arthouse drama follows a train conductor on the night of his retirement.

The onslaught of crossed-out vowels in the cast and crew names guarantees itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made with the Scandinavian commitment to quality.

(SP) B63 >@=>=A/:

(PG-13; 107 min.) Boss lady Sandra Bullock and underling Ryan Reynolds fake an engagement for the benefit of the family of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;groom.â&#x20AC;? Directed by Anne Fletcher. >C0:71 3<3;73A

(R; 141 min.) Michael Mannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; carries out this study of John Dillingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career from its middle to its end in darting, little-cam movements.

The photography often uses high-def synthetic light: yellowish-white flares of gun bursts and gritty magenta torches

burning. Surfaces come to mindâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this skin-deep film gives you when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear the dialogue or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell who the new characters are supposed to be. In numberless close-ups, Johnny Depp emphasizes surface, too.

The movie makes the master bank robber a gent, a showman, an ardent monogamous lover; when he takes hostages, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to relieve them of the humdrumness of their lives. But Public Enemies never takes us hostage; it never establishes that link it reaches for, the link between those hard times and ours. (RvB) A6@7<9 (R; 111 min.)

World-weary psychiatrist Dr. Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey), all dogfaced with sleeplessness and indulgence in the evil herb, needs to heal himself. He has a real workload: Kate (Saffron Burrows) and Evan (Joel Gretsch), a moviestar/rock-star couple known as Katevan, are on the verge of splitting.

Shamus (Jack Huston, Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandson) is an Irish actor unhappy with his work, Robin Williams is an aging movie star who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop cheating on his wife, and Jeremy (Mark Webber), a lawnmowing

nobody in this starstudded scheme. Lastly, working-class AfricanAmerican girl Jemmma (Keke Palmer) is seeing Dr. Carter but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell him why she has a cast on her arm from having tried to knock some sense into the mirror in her high school bathroom. So they go to the films together. Shrink insists everyone in LA is in the Industry, whether they know it or not.

But the life-affirming, everything-to-all-people script keeps introducing new characters until, at the end, director Jonas Pate is forced to act with all the aplomb of a man herding cats. (RvB) AB@33B 2@3/;A (R; 95 min.) Angsty drama has one up-and-coming skateboarder against the world. Oh yeah, like skateboarders have it hard. The only people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like them are cops and all other adults.

Whiners! (SP) B63 C5:G B@CB6

(R; 96 min.) After getting stuck with Seth Rogan as an arresteddevelopment geek in her last romantic comedy, Katherine Heigl now gets Gerard Butler as a douchebag radio personality. This woman deserves combat pay.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of August 5 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): I expect that you will soon stumble upon a key secret to your next masterpiece. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discover a healing agent that will be effective in correcting an old mistake. In fact, Aries, I prophesy that in the coming week, you will have a sense that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing the smart thing at least 90 percent of the time. Sorry: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid to say that I have no sad, bad or mad news to deliver. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the type of person who thrives on cynicism, your immediate future may be pretty boring. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the fence about the question of whether life is a gorgeous feast or a chaotic mess, your ability to deal with outbreaks of goodness will be supremely tested.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): In Salman Rushdieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Prophetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair,â&#x20AC;? a greedy man intentionally cripples his four sons when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young, hoping to turn them into beggars who elicit profound sympathy and large cash donations. The plan is successful.

His sons earn him a good income. Later, however, he comes into possession of a potent talismanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a strand of hair from the prophet Mohammedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and it magically heals the sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ailments. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer able to pull in big bucks, and grief descends upon the family. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a variation on these themes at work in your own life. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;magic charmâ&#x20AC;? is available that could reverse or at least neutralize an old handicap. Do you have the pluck to surrender the questionable rewards your impairment has brought you?

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): It should be an excellent week for potato chip breakfasts, rapid mood shifts and short-duration flirtations. The abundance of superficial exchanges that will be available to you could actually add up into something resembling meaningful breakthroughs. You will have the chance to explore the art of the five-minute epic conversation, as well as the science of giving a single look that speaks a million words. You cannot possibly plumb the bottomless depths of casual, frivolous, lightweight diversions, but you should try anyway.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): On one hand, you may find yourself unable to flow as freely as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to in the coming week. I foresee the possibility that your streaming currents will get dammed up in places, or else shunted into narrow conduits that constrict your natural surge. On the other hand, this could compel you to make more practical use of your emotional assets. The applicable metaphor is the harnessing of a turbulent river to produce massive amounts of hydroelectric power.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): If you really knew how much you were loved, you would never cry again. A sublime relaxation would flood your nervous system, freeing you to see the beautiful secrets your chronic fear has hidden from you. If you knew how much the world longs for your genius to bloom, the peace that filled you would ensure you could not fail. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d face every trial with eager equanimity. You would always know exactly what to do because your intuition would tell you in a myriad of subtle ways. And get this, Leo: A glimpse of this glory will soon be available to you.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): First of all, my friend, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any secondhand anything, let alone secondhand love. Second of all, dearest, you are hereby ordered not to hang around any third-rate situations where you feel like a fifth wheel. You understand?

Thirdly, wonderful one, keep in mind that any eight ball you may fantasize that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re behind is just a figment of your own delusions. Fourthly, lover, I assure you that your sixth sense can now lead youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if you cleanse it of its superstitionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to a place that is, if you have a good imagination, a suburb of seventh heaven. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): I got an interesting spam message today. A company that said it was very proud of its high-quality work offered to sell me phony credentials that are impossible to distinguish from the real thing. What caught my attention the most were the degrees from Harvard and Stanford. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind having one of those up on my wall. But in the end, I decided that instead of paying the company $230 for one of its excellent fakes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d simply make one myself. And instead of creating a degree from Harvard, I would have it be from a place where I have actually matriculated, namely the Raving Maniac Academy of Crazy Wisdom, which is the unruly school where I often find myself during my lucid dreams. I bring

this up, Libra, because it would be an excellent time for you to make yourself a fancy fake diploma from whatever your equivalent is to my academyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you know, the source that has been providing you with so much great teaching, even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an official institution of higher education.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): A Slovenian adventurer named Martin Strel swam the length of the Amazon River in Brazil. It took him over nine weeks to travel more than 3,000 miles. Previously he had breast-stroked his way down the entire Yangtze River in China, a distance of almost 2,500 miles.

He scoffed at the idea of conquering the River Nile in Egypt, however. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long, but not challenging enough,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just a small creek.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the spirit I hope you will summon in yourself during the coming weeks, Scorpio: a determination to take on only the most invigorating tests that require heroic levels of resourcefulness. Skip the lesser trials.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): Ideally, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even be reading this. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be white-water rafting along the Franklin River in Tasmania, or riding on â&#x20AC;&#x153;the train at the end of the worldâ&#x20AC;? in Tierra del Fuego, or observing Golden Bamboo lemurs in the rainforest of southeastern Madagascar. Ideally, Sagittarius, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be far away from any newspaper that carries my column. In fact, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be out of touch with all media, period. But since you are reading this, you must not be doing the ideal thing. So please do the next best thing: Flee as far as possible from your usual haunts, your habitual influences and your customary comforts.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): Make sure that no one except you will be able to tear asunder what you join together in the coming days. Tie knots that will never slip. Build bridges that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be burned. Send emails that cement new alliances, and plug yourself into networks that are crackling with high-energy connections. Stock up on safety pins, staples, nails, tape and glue. Be sticky, Capricorn! Just one caution: Do not marry your fortunes to people unless they are willing to be your devoted, synergistic warrior as much as you are their devoted, synergistic warrior. /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t whine and complain just because your guardian angel seems to be driving hard bargains lately. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually on better speaking terms now than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in some time. Before the sweeter talk can begin, though, the two of you still have to work out kinks left over from previous miscommunications. Besides, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a method in your guardian angelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s madness, a reason why she or he is driving hard bargains: She or he is testing you to see if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing and able to stretch your imagination to accommodate the rowdier blessings youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon be tempted with. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Underdogs are on an upsurge. Topdogs are on a downswing. The rebels have something resembling God on their side. The masters merely have money and propaganda. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be an excellent week to launch strikes, boycotts and protests.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be prime time to say no to smiling manipulators.

The best efforts, whether coming from you or the people you want to be close to, will always have at least a tinge of cheekiness. So now that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read my spiel, please answer me this: Are you going to sit there passively and grin as some feel-good tyrant tries to break off a chunk of your soul?
