Life Time For lifers seeking parole, good behavior is never good enough STORY & PHOTOS BY CURTIS CARTIER

I

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S a sweltering day in Tracy. July behind bars at Deuel Vocational Institution smells like sweat, bleach and old orange peels. Clifford Bair, a white-haired, goateed first-degree murdererâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a liferâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perches under a barred windowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light and

talks about the day 25 years ago in Bodega Bay when he tied up Theresa Aiken and Rose Fomasi with electrical wire and left them to die. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been up for three days drinking and doing speed,â&#x20AC;? says the 64-year-old convict. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I tied her up, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it but I found her keys in a bowl by the door. I took her car and I left. All I had wanted was to take her car. I remember the detective telling me Miss Aiken had died in the night. I wanted to die too. I still do.â&#x20AC;?

of particulates into the creeks, including Big Creek, which feeds the pools at the hatchery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will change the pH of the water, and the particulates will clog the gill membranes of the steelhead and coho,â&#x20AC;? she says. Reduced canopy in the upper watershed could also warm up the water.

The gravely endangered coho is especially sensitive to changes in temperature and water quality.

Furthermore, she explains, the fire melted a separate water line running from pristine Berry Creek (different from the Big Basin waterway), depriving the hatchery of its purest source of water for incubating eggs.

Moss and her predecessor, Dave Streig, said officials from the state Department of Fish and Game and the National Marine Fisheries Service were scheduled to meet Tuesday, Aug. 18, to discuss moving the coho hatchlings to pools at Long Marine Lab for the worst of the winter rains in hopes of avoiding a deluge of bad water into the holding tanks.

salmon ended on a low smoky note on Friday, says it would be crucial to get them back up to the hatchery for at least several weeks before their scheduled release near the spring equinox so they could â&#x20AC;&#x153;imprint on the watershed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They memorize where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming home to, and for Scott Creek thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a mess,â&#x20AC;? Streig says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key is decaying vegetation, organic compounds from rotting leaves in the creek that they key into, and the ratio of those chemical compounds is gonna be wrong now. A lot of this we learned after Mount St. Helens when the Toutle River was wiped out. Basically the fish just disappeared for three years because it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smell right to them.â&#x20AC;?

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say just yet.

Right now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focused on getting CalFire to construct protective berms that shelter the waterways on their way out of the watershedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;after the blaze is out, of course, and hopefully before another major wildfire f lares up in California and sucks up all the resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the critical time to button it up, while the equipment is still out there,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Ambrose says the Lockheed fire points out an unfortunate fact of life for endangered species. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate that this fire happened where it did,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because Scott Creek is, in terms of remaining coho creeks south of San Francisco Bay, the one with the best overall population. And nature bats last, and the range has been constricted and constricted, and these are the disasters we worry about when the population is so greatly reduced. They become very vulnerable.

If you had a big resilient population, with fish in the San Lorenzo and all around Santa Cruz County, it would be unfortunate but it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the disastrous consequences this has.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, he adds, pray that this purported El NiĂąo year begins quietly rather than with a streamsullying deluge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep our fingers crossed that the first rains we get are nice and gentle,â&#x20AC;? he says. 0

Up in Smoke

Every wildfire comes with a cash catastrophe 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

T

HE SOUND of fire engines, walkie-talkies and helicopters may be endemic to the Lockheed fire, but so is the sound of an imaginary cash register ringing every time another engine roars into town. Though Cal Fire did not lose personnel in the latest state cuts, $27 million was lopped off its 2009â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 budget, and more than likely each of the local fire agencies that pitched in to battle the f lames had its own troubles at home at budget time.

None of that matters when a 7,000acre wildfire breaks out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;California has developed a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seven points of lightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agreement that says if anybody breaks a fire, the departments will send resources,â&#x20AC;? says Cal Fire spokesman Mike Mohler. Yet with so little money to burn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to wonder whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting stuck with the mounting bill.

As of Friday morning, 667 firefighters struggled to contain the blaze, backed by 120 engines, 16 fire crews, 15 bulldozers, three water tenders and â&#x20AC;&#x153;multipleâ&#x20AC;? aircraft. By Monday afternoon, after a massive weekend ramp-up, the figures had doubled or tripled: 2,165 firefighters, 295 engines, 21 fire crews, 28 bulldozers, 21 water tenders and 14 helicopters.

Cal Fire estimates the first 24 hours of the fire cost about $500,900, an estimate which has since risen to $9.8 million.

Cal Fire Division Chief David Samaniego says it costs $5,300 per day to run the largest engines, while smaller engines ring in at about $3,600. Each figure includes the cost of running the vehicle itself as well as the cost of paying the members of its crew. Each firefighter costs roughly $872 per day, with about $60 factored in for food, water and board.

While salaries and benefits are paid by their home base agencies, Cal Fire foots the room and board bill for as long as fire personnel enjoy

the rustic comforts of the Santa Cruz Fairgrounds. One fairgrounds worker said on Friday that negotiations with Cal Fire over the cost of their command center and camp were ongoing, but added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do pay per day to be here, and they pay very well.â&#x20AC;?

As of Friday there was no official count of how many firefighters were from outside the county, but trucks had arrived from Santa Clara, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and as far away as Penn Valley, Placer County, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good 60 percent are out of county. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an educated guess,â&#x20AC;? says Samaniego.

That means they had to get here first, and their trucks ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly the Toyota Prius. A water-carrying vehicle can get 7 or 8 miles per gallon, while a larger fire engine comes in at 2 to 4 mpg. At $2.75 for a gallon of diesel fuel, a single large engine on a one-way trip from San Diego to Santa Cruz can run up a $645 tab at the pump.

The final bill ends up being a kind of pass-the-buck game. Initially, local fire departments are absorbing the costs of running their trucks, getting to and from the fire and paying their fire personnelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overtime, which kicks in after a three-day shift. Most of their expenses should be reimbursed by Cal Fire, which in turn will be reimbursed up to 75 percent by FEMA. But as some may recall, local governments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always see those reimbursements in a timely fashion. And it leaves Cal Fire stuck holding the bag with 25 percent of what will likely become a multimillion dollar bill.

The silver lining? Samaniego says that there is no evidence that budget woes have directly affected the ability of Cal Fire to respond to the Lockheed disaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has not hampered our initial attack capabilities. As far as the needs of the folks on the ground, that has not changed,â&#x20AC;? he says. 0

Life Time To hear him tell it, many decisions and circumstances led his younger selfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;strung-out, self-loathing and addicted to methâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to the front door of the 86-year-old Aiken, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mother of Bodega Bay,â&#x20AC;? that day in 1984. And since then, many more decisions have been made by Inmate Bair and by the state institutions charged with â&#x20AC;&#x153;correcting and rehabilitatingâ&#x20AC;? him.

Bair, according to DVI spokesman Lt. Gilbert Valenzuela, is like a majority of lifers over 40 years old: â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the good ones.â&#x20AC;? Enrolled in classes, active in a prison-based job, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s padded his rĂŠsumĂŠ for 25 years in hopes of wresting freedom from Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of

Continued from page 1

Parole Hearings. Yet despite his efforts at rehabilitation, he has little chance of becoming a free man.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the Board grants parole to fewer than 1 percent of lifers who are eligible, and those that are paroled are usually denied later by the governor.

Denying parole to an eligible inmate without proving that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown continued signs of criminal behavior, however, is a direct violation of state law. And at a time when 2.3 million American adults are incarcerated and California is leading the way with 170,000 of them, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison system is at a breaking point and many, including some here on the Central

Coast, are pushing for major reforms to the parole process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping lifers doing life.

The Rising Tide In America, one in 10 prison inmates are serving a life sentence. In California, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one in five. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come for a handful of different reasons: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve killed, kidnapped or raped. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve committed treason or sponsored terrorism. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve robbed or dealt drugs three times and copped a â&#x20AC;&#x153;three strikesâ&#x20AC;? life sentence. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even racked up additional charges while incarcerated.

They are black, white, Latino, Asian and Native Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;though in California,

blacks and Latinos make up 68 percent of lifers. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 90 years old or 14â&#x20AC;&#x201D; adolescents tried as adults.

Though many are hardened criminals, for some the difference between a cell door and a white picket fence is nothing more than an angry moment and a weapon.

Santa Cruz County District Attorney Bob Lee has sought life sentences for dozens of criminals. He, like many law enforcement officials, believes â&#x20AC;&#x153;life is life,â&#x20AC;? and that murderers like Bair should not be judged on their decisions in prison but on the ones that got them there. ¨ "

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crimes like murder are the most antisocial acts a person can commit,â&#x20AC;?

Lee says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be thinking about the criminals who kill and kidnap, but about the victims that will never come back, and their families who have to live without their loved ones forever.â&#x20AC;?

Lee is far from alone. Californians typically vote in favor of almost every proposed law that imposes tougher sentences for convicts. Just last year, voters passed Proposition 9, which allows the BPH to extend the time a lifer can go between hearings from one year to as many as 15 years. Many a politician has launched a career campaigning from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough on crimeâ&#x20AC;? platform. Many others have lost it when the public sensed softness.

Former California Gov. Gray Davis famously said that the only way a murderer would leave prison on his watch was â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a pine box.â&#x20AC;? He allowed parole for a mere eight convicts during his four years in office. Gov. Schwarzenegger tried to reverse this policy and in his first year released 72 lifers. After a vicious backlash from victims rights groups, however, he scaled back the releases to about 30 per year.

Today, with Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prisons

operating at 200 percent capacity and a broken health care system killing an inmate a week, the state is facing orders from a federal panel of judges to cut down its inmate population by 43,000 prisoners in the next two years. The panel went so far as to label the prisons â&#x20AC;&#x153;unconstitutionalâ&#x20AC;? due to negligent health care that made conditions â&#x20AC;&#x153;cruel and unusual.â&#x20AC;?

An excerpt from the Aug. 4 ruling reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The massive 750 percent increase in the California prison population since the mid-1970s is the result of political decisions made over three decades, including the shift to inflexible determinate sentencing and the passage of harsh mandatory minimum and three-strikes laws, as well as the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counterproductive parole system.â&#x20AC;?

It will be low-level violent, nonviolent and drug offenders who will likely benefit most from the orders to cut prison populations. Yet with Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nation-topping 70 percent recidivism rate, most, before long, will end up right back in prison. In contrast, recidivism rate for lifers who are paroled drops to about 20 percent.

Government orders and statistics alone, however, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

j #

A/<B/1@CH 1=; august 19-26, 2009 1=D3@ AB=@G

broken system. And there are few people, and very few important people, who are willing to go to bat for a convicted criminalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;much less a lifer.

The Few in Their Corner Some, however, do stand up for lifers.

Daniel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Naneâ&#x20AC;? Alejandrez is one of them. A short, soft-spoken Hispanic man, usually seen in his trademark dark beret and â&#x20AC;&#x153;locsâ&#x20AC;? style sunglasses, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best known for founding the Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based Latino community outreach group Barrios Unidos. Born to a migrant farmworker family and drafted by the Army to fight in the Vietnam War, Alejandrez came back from combat in 1971 hooked on heroin and to a family deeply entrenched in gangs, drugs and violence. Yet even as he weaned himself from drugs, he began to speak out for peaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both on the streets and in the prisons. And since BU launched in 1977, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been on hand for some of the most important moments in Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Latino story. Now, along with reaching out to troubled youth, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made the plight of the lifers of DVI, Solano, Vacaville, Soledad, Pleasant Valley and Jamestown one of his causes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want people to see [lifers] as people. People who made mistakes, but people who can change as well,â&#x20AC;? says Alejandrez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many of them have done everything they can to help themselves and rehabilitate. But none of that seems to matter, because the parole boards just say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Great work, but your crime was too severe.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

On this blistering day at DVI, he joins John Brown Childs, Eric Cummins, Angela Irvine and Jessica Roa, a team of professors, activists, authors and social workers, for a class on â&#x20AC;&#x153;transcommunal cooperationâ&#x20AC;? and an organized debate among inmates on the parole priorities of nonviolent drug offenders versus parole-eligible lifers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the governor was given the power to review decisions made by the parole board, you can see that parole approvals essentially stopped,â&#x20AC;? says inmate Michael DeVries, who, like many long-term inmates, has become a legal expert on issues surrounding his case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a case of ex post facto, which means laws were passed after the fact that I, and a lot of other people I see in this room, committed their crimes.

I liken it to a sports analogy of moving the goal post.â&#x20AC;?

The debate continues inside the DVI community room for another hour.

The lifers, most sporting reading glasses, hold handwritten notes in their gnarled

hands and speak in the slow, measured cadence of men in their 50s and 60s. The crude tattoos of Virgin Marys, tear drops and number 13â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that adorn some of their exposed forearms have faded over time into cloudy blotches of black and navy blue. The researchers jot endlessly in their notebooks, attention rapt on the real life social experiment playing out before them. The discourse is civil, and no one interrupts or speaks out of turn.

Time, as one lifer explains, is something each has in abundance, and patience, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is something you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but learn on a life sentence.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I think that if we entertain the idea of paroling folks that have committed murder, then we are discounting any feeling or compassion for the victims of the crime and their families.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; DISTRICT ATTORNEY BOB LEE Elsewhere in prison, younger inmates with sharper and more colorful tattoos donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t typically share the same serenity.

Curses ring out from scattered cells as the seemingly ever-shirtless offenders notice a camera-wielding visitor and either offer menacing stares to the lens or swear and retreat out of view. The bleach and orange peel smell extends to almost every corner of the prison, and where walls arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coated in layers of drab gray paint so thick theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re soft to the touch, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re painted in screaming orange paint with messages like â&#x20AC;&#x153;no warning shots fired in this area.â&#x20AC;? ¨ $

Back in the community room, the debating inmates, having been broken up into mixed groups of whites, Hispanics and blacks, are finishing their debate. The class, nearing the end of its second year, was not an idea hatched in social academia, but by the inmates themselvesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a fact that astounds many of the researchers, given the hardened racial lines that exist in every prison in America. As the class ends, however, any thoughts of freedom are dashed as the inmates are herded off, stripsearched and sent back to their cells. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Single file,â&#x20AC;? a guard says sternly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know the drill.â&#x20AC;?

Lest We Forget Santa Cruz County Sheriff Phil Wowak knows a thing or two about the prospect of paroling lifers. Like DA Bob Lee, he believes a crime like murder warrants a lifetime behind bars, and he routinely sends letters to the BPH opposing parole for lifers originally charged in Santa Cruz County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that if we entertain the idea of paroling folks that have committed murder, then we are discounting any feeling or compassion for the victims of the crime and their families,â&#x20AC;? he says.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realize the prisons are overcrowded, I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that the solution to our incarceration issues and budget woes is to look at these lifers and release them from custody.â&#x20AC;?

A single murder creates a network of grieving relatives and friends, much like a stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ripple effect when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrown into a lake. Gene Cervantes lost two close cousins in 2005 in what Fresno authorities called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tarpey Village murders.â&#x20AC;? For him, the thought that good behavior and efforts at rehabilitation could free his cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killers is too much to bear.

and they have no idea whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually going on in the prisons. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there.

Yes, there are problems; the health care is as useless as a three-dollar bill. But letting prisoners go is a terrible idea.â&#x20AC;?

Wowak agrees that early releases in any fashion are a bad policy. He warns that without extra transitional support structures for released inmates, communities all over the state could see a spike in crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that releasing anyone without a good form of rehab program is very risky,â&#x20AC;? says the sheriff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be a stop-gap response that may save some money for the state, but local counties like Santa Cruz County will likely see an influx of people in the jails when these inmates reoffend.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fixed game.

I get told Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing all the right things, so why am I not suitable for parole?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a cold-blooded murder, and I hope the men responsible never see the light of day,â&#x20AC;? says Cervantes, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still waiting to see the two men whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been arrested and charged with the murders have their day in court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All these lefties looking to take pity on these prisoners need to face the facts.â&#x20AC;?

Cervantes spent 29 years working as a classification staff representative with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. There, he says, he saw firsthand the inability of the modern criminal to rehabilitate and live in society. Inmates, he says, will say anything to be released. They will apologize, take classes, write letters and kick drugs only when they think it will give them a shot at freedom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I read about the federal judges telling the CDCR to come up with a plan to release inmates, I just thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What a joke,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They make these decisions from their stupid ivory towers

Nixon was president, disco was the new rage and gas was 40 cents a gallon when Paul Hyde came to prison in 1973.

Having killed a shoe store owner with a stray bullet during a gang-related gunfight in Los Angeles, he was handed a life sentence for first-degree murder.

Hyde became eligible for parole in 1980. Since then, despite a relatively clean discipline record and an extensive rehabilitation resume, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been denied parole 22 times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was 19 years old when they told me I was going to prison for life,â&#x20AC;? says Hyde, a 55-year-old, tall, clean-cut black man with a shaky voice and watery eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never get over taking someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, and the man I killed will never come back.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change. Now I have 14 trades, I have my [high school] diploma, I have 83 college units. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put myself in every possible program I can, but every time, they just tell me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sorry, but your crime was too bad.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Denying a parole applicant solely on the basis of the original crime, however, is illegal under California law. As mandated by the Dannenberg California Supreme Court Decision of 2005, aspects of rehabilitation must weigh into a parole boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. Though not limited to them, the five major factors involved in a parole decision are listed by the BPH as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;counseling reports, behavior in prison, vocational and educational accomplishments, involvement in self help therapy, and parole plans.â&#x20AC;? The 2005 ruling also says that any lifer who is denied parole based on his or her original crime must be proven to have â&#x20AC;&#x153;aggravated factsâ&#x20AC;? beyond the crime that makes him or her a continuing threat to society. ¨

Evidence suggests that the stingy approval rates handed down by the BPH are no accident. During Hydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early days in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, parole boards were made up of not only prison and law enforcement officials but teachers, doctors and others representing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;community at large.â&#x20AC;?

Then, almost every felon received an indeterminate sentence and was released when the parole board deemed they were ready. Now, Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-person BPH boasts a membership made up entirely of current and former law enforcement officials. All are registered Republicans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fixed game,â&#x20AC;? says Hyde. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get told Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing all the right things, so why am I not suitable for parole?â&#x20AC;?

Hyde, like nearly every lifer interviewed by Santa Cruz Weekly, says he gets by on one thing: hope. Hope that his classes and in-prison work efforts will catch the eye of BPH commissioners.

Hope that, if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s released, someone will give him a job. And hope that both he and the family of the man he killed will find resolution in the price heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paid behind bars.

But the hope that their parole hearings will end in any other way than a flat denial seems far-fetched. For lifers like Hyde, no matter how many steps they take toward rehabilitation, the heinousness of their original crime is always the bottom line in their denial reports.

Life Row Documents provided by inmates and by the CDCR show that lifers are often denied parole with none of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;aggravated factsâ&#x20AC;? required under the Dannenberg legal precedent.

In Bairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, one parole decision transcript thanks him for â&#x20AC;&#x153;a number of self help programming . . . substance

abuse, alternatives to violence, AA, anger management (classes) . . . and a plumbing (and welding) vocational work programs,â&#x20AC;? before it goes on to deny him because â&#x20AC;&#x153;the prisoner committed the offense in an especially cruel manner.â&#x20AC;?

Hydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case is similar. Documents show dozens of classes taken, certificates earned and jobs maintained. Getting caught with a dagger 20 years ago is a stain on his in-custody record, but he hopes the board will overlook it on account of his two decades of good behavior and make his upcoming hearing lucky number 23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came to prison I had a thirdgrade education. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even run a carwash,â&#x20AC;? says Hyde. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I run millions of dollarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of machinery every day in the electrostatic powder coating shop.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m totally employable. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a changed man and I think I deserve a chance to show it.â&#x20AC;?

A month after the organized debate at DVI over who deserves parole, the lifer class is together once again on a slightly cooler dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this time for a graduation celebration. Chuckles fill the air, smiles abound and hugs are the preferred greeting as the aging inmates receive certificates of completion and feast on cake and shrimp cocktail brought in by Alejandrez and other volunteers. For class teachers like John Brown Childs, an author and lecturer of sociology at UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz, the completion of the course is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;living example of positive human potential.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liken what I see in these men to a Zen riddle,â&#x20AC;? says Childs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I saw a slave, but then I realized it was actually a person held in slavery.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It means you can look at someone and think you know exactly what they represent, but you have to look at them from a different point of view to really understand who they are and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in their hearts.â&#x20AC;?

Whether Californians consciously care about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the hearts of their convicts or not, there is no question that they are heavily invested in just that. With $9.8 billion in state funds set aside for the CDCR in the next year, prison spending makes up 10 percent of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, even after $1.2 billion in emergency cuts mandated in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slashed state budget.

The mood inside DVI suggests that the inmates feel the change coming as well. Most of them chatter about rumors that friends may be going home or that appeals may be accepted. Alejandrez feels it too. While agreeing with inmates that things may be looking up, he cautions them to stay vigilant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state has got to do something,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finally dug themselves so far down that they have to start climbing back out. I just hope they take a look at guys like these lifersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;people who have earned a right to a second chance.â&#x20AC;?

As the graduation ceremony ends and eager inmates dutifully collect the frosting dotted paper plates and soda cans into trash bags, prison spokesman Valenzuela takes the microphone to offer a test to the men. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a challenge for you,â&#x20AC;? says the career guard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to see you take the lessons you learned about working together and use them out in the yard.â&#x20AC;?

Most of the inmates agree that race relations in the prison yard will likely stay as segregated as they are now.

Instead, each hopes they can use the skills in a more exotic location: outside the prison walls. 0

>/7@ =4 /13A Aussie alt-country artists Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson finally made an album together, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;years and yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; after the producer who introduced them first brought it up.

HEIR VOICES wind around the notes, sinuous and close.

Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blood, but your ear tells you theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely tribe.

Like Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, like the members of the phenomenon that was Fleetwood Mac, their voices were made to move together. And in the annals of duets between lovers, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re assured a place with their new album, Rattlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bones, a rare collaboration between two Australian altcountry stars who happen to be hitched.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a down-home, introspective effort, undertaken not long after the birth of their son Arlo, now 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good time to take a break, be parents and a married couple,â&#x20AC;? says Nicholson, adding that the usual pattern of recording and touring periodically â&#x20AC;&#x153;engulfsâ&#x20AC;? their lives. The instrumentation on the collectionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;banjo, dobro, lap steel, acoustic guitar, fiddleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is spare and brooding, vintage Americana.

But Nicholson says the breakneck eight-day recording session was actually some of the most fun heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever had in the studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contradictory, because a lot of the record is quite dark,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it was a blast, quite fun. Some of the people in the band were some of our oldest, closest friends.â&#x20AC;?

It was also one of the least productionoriented sessions of his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was almost like anti-production. We were trying to strip it back, make it very old-time. The priority was always just the feeling behind the performances.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right up Chambersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; alley. Having performed with her father and brother for years before striking out on a solo career, she says the stage has become a place for her thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually find when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on stage itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as much about being around people as the music,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love telling stories and talking about my family and my kids andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;telling stories that have nothing to do with music! I like it to feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in my laundry [room], sitting around at home.â&#x20AC;?

The collaboration has also given Chambers the chance to do something else she used to do with the old family band: harmonize. As a solo artist with a great careerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some call her the Gillian Welch of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vocally a leading lady. With Nicholson she gets to sing alto and tenor while he takes the lead, and likewise take the lead when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his turn to harmonize.

Nicholson says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just become second nature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rehearse or anything,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten to a point where we kind of understand how each other sings, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become very natural for us to be playing together.â&#x20AC;?

Golden A magical goldfish offers animated enchantment in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ponyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

T

HE NEW Studio Ghibli cartoon Ponyo is a beautiful, gentle entertainment for children, and if that sounds like a minor recommendation, it is. In a field stuffed with reinventors, director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, et al.) is a genuine inventor. The little echoes from Pinocchio and Hans Christian Andersenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Little Mermaid can be noted, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the tale or the telling much. One can never tell where a Miyazaki story is going.

On a Japanese beach of today, 5-yearold Sosuke (voiced by Frankie â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bonus Jonasâ&#x20AC;? Jonas) finds a magic talking goldfish with a human head.

Ponyo (Noah Lindsey Cyrus) is happy to live in a bucket, but she sickens in captivity. A mystical rogue wave takes her back home. We learn that Ponyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father is a weary undersea wizard, Fujimoto (Liam Neeson). This former human seeks to heal the oceans with magic. Fujimoto was once the lover (or husband) of the colossal sea goddess Gran Mamare (Cate Blanchett).

Mamare might also incarnate Kannon, the Japanese version of Kwan Yin; some passing sailors identify her as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the goddess of mercy,â&#x20AC;? apparently just to throw off my pedantic self.

The progeny of wizard and goddess is a large school of enchanted fish.

Ponyo, the best and the brightest of them, wills herself to escape her father and become a humanoidâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a pink amphibianâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who is sometimes disguised as a little girl. Ponyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escape sets off nature on a rampage. The coast f loods, and the moon leaves her orbit.

Moments of enchantment appear throughout Ponyo. After seeing Cars, I

E/D3 @723@ Ponyo skims the seas in Hayao Miyazakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new animated feature.

hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought there were acceptable ways of animating automobiles, but the subcompact of Sosukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Lisa (voiced by Tina Fey), is practically alive as it darts around the coast roads.

The Studio Ghibli animators really opened up the box of colored pencils for the seaside landscapes; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still industrial enoughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with high-tension wires and rusty docklandsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to keep from being pretty-pretty or precious.

The rapport of son and mother is a rare thing to see in any kind of film.

Lisa is never surprised by her child or his strange new friend. After Ponyo returns home for a time, Sosuke, eyes slitted from crying, dutifully laps the ice cream cone his mother bought to console him. Like a real child, he feels he shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be consoled, but the ice cream is consoling him anyway. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an Ozu-worthy moment. Miyazaki also stages a joke about the Orson Wellesâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; ish look on the face of a colicky baby. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, she likes you!â&#x20AC;? say the parents; while the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expression says no, she

certainly does not like anyone, not one little bit.)

In our country, where scientists tread softly, Ponyo is on easy terms with evolution; a line says young Ponyo might well be reduced to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sea foam, where we all originated.â&#x20AC;? But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no threat in this potential drowning, and this injured my grown-up sense of drama. Avoiding clear stories of good and evil, Miyazaki is both Buddhist and animist, telling of the opposition of creative and destructive forces. I admired the balance, but I missed the thrustâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the feralness of a fairy tale.

Ponyo is not as tart and scary as some of its Ghibli predecessors; like Pixarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finding Nemo, it skews young.

PONYO (G; 100 min.), directed and written by Hayao Miyazaki, photographed by Atsushi Okui and with the voices of Cate Blanchett and Noah Lindsey Cyrus, plays at the Del Mar Theatre in Santa Cruz.

Mayer stays on topic; Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of outerspace exploration and the galaxies mirrors his own alienlike responses (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if Mayer is telling us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the matter, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you like Mr. Spock?â&#x20AC;?); the reference to the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale about the emperorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new clothes is also supposed to celebrate Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitilessly honest responses to the world around him. Comic bits by Jeff Hiller as a supercilious waiter and Mark Linn-Bale as a faux-friendly boss

help this out. The subplotting of Peter Gallagher and Amy Irving as Bethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents is just filler. Byrneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s channeling of the young Diane Keaton is more uncanny than anything Max does. (Opens Fri at the Nickelodeon.) (RvB) 7<5:=C@7=CA 0/AB3@2A (R; 160

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/<2A:/; (PG;

111 min.) High school outcasts rising above expectations. White people rapping. Really good looking nerds in an epic battle against more conventionally good looking people.

Vanessa Hudgens. The end. (SP) B63 1=D3 (PG-13; 100

min.) Top 10 material.

Louie Psihoyosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; documentary uncovers a continuing scandalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the wanton slaughter of dolphins off the coast of Japan. The outrage happens annually at a Wakayama Prefecture site hidden from the public view by security guards and concertina wire. The investigator is dolphinologist/activist Richard Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Barry. He assembles an Mission Impossible Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;like team to infiltrate the site by land and water, despite intimidation by police and security guards. This outraging, thrilling film is guaranteed to stir indignation. (RvB) 27AB@71B ' (R; 113 min.) Humans and alien refugees live in close and uncomfortable proximity in Johannesburg in dystopian sci-fi thriller by Neill Blomkamp. The story is told documentary style, as we follow the mysterious disappearance of Wikus (Sharito Copley), ahuman employee of Multi-National United. Included in this mix of images is also some kind of private footage, heavily digitally watermarked, that a secretive company like MNU wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want aired. During a raid on the alien camp, Wikus is sprayed with some alien fluid. After this incident, we can cut and paste in much of David Cronenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of The Fly, as the smarmy Wikus begins to mutate, losing his fingernails and teeth. The massive corporation he works

for makes him a wanted man, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forced to get the help of one of the prawns. Producer Peter Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand is visible in the flawless animation of the bug creatures. All of the most interesting parts of this storyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about the otherness of the aliensâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are kept offcamera. (RvB)

hours of cock humor here. To those who have always felt that Sandler was an aggressive, cold figure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to celebrate his showing an uglier side than usual.

The visuals arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth mentioning; Apatowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still essentially a TV director in love with the easy setup and the interior shot. (RvB)

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)

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.) As Jonathan Schell described the late Robert McNamara, â&#x20AC;&#x153;emotional without being introspective.â&#x20AC;?

Judd Apatowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flop doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t range far from below the belt: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his most serious film and yet his worst. Seth Rogen plays Ira, a budding L.A. comedian who hooks up with George (Adam Sandler), an A-list comedian with a string of profitable high-concept filmsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a case of Hollywood Movie Disease. George mentors Ira; Ira mensches George. The title is a misnomer; in Apatowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only men who are funny.

Which is strange, since 45 hilarious seconds of Sarah Silverman talking about her junk beats the more than two

(R; 90 min.) Sadly, not a sequel to Walk Hard, in which Dewey Cox gives up music to sell used cars. And why should he? I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing okay for a 15-yearold with a wife and a baby! But anyway, this comedy has Jeremy Piven selling used cars, in an attempt to turn a struggling dealership around. (SP) 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.

min.) Hogwartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decay is showing, against lowering weather that looks like January in Iceland. The new potions professor, Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), holds in his memory a key conversation with the young Tom Riddle, later

to become the Hitler of the world of magic.

Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), the magicworldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Churchill, needs to know what Slughorn knows, but the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest wizard is starting to decay. Young Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is now comfy enough with being called the Chosen One that he can joke about it (even if Emma Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hermione gives him an whack on the head when he does). Rupert Grint is show-stealing in his perennial role as ginger-nut comedy relief. (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 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) 7< B63 :==>

(Unrated; 113 min.)

Armando Iannucci, a well-known figure in British television comedy, does a scathing sort-of version of the dawn of the Iraq invasion. James Gandolfiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lt. Gen. George Miller is a more wrathful version of Colin Powell.

Mimi Kennedy plays Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best ally, Karen Clarke, a career State Department diplomat with dandruffy hair and teeth that seem to be disintegrating during the middle of a crisis. Gandolfini and Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characters are the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moral centerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the two people operating with goodwill. We want to follow them through this sonata of collapsing spines and raving, swearing political careerists. But too often Iannucci just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let us. The fierce verbiage pours forth like a gusher, but the smartness outsmarts itself. (RvB) 8C:73 8C:7/ (PG13; 123 min.) Meryl Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;her facility with accents, her plasticity and

that uncompromising quality every really lasting actress has to haveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has been used to portray the limits of human suffering. In Julie & Julia, Streep gets to kick up her heels. She has such fun with the part of the cookbook writer Julia Child that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistently intoxicating to watch.

Streep continues at full sail through the film, elevated a bit on a high heels and trotting with the happy clunkiness of a Clydesdale. Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinctive voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the whoop of surprise, the trill and warble when she talkedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;makes Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the film enthralling. But there had to be some way to hold the film together, and sure enough disaster befalls. Half of this film is based on the hustled-into-print book version of a blog

by Julie Powell about replicating all of Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recipes. Amy Adams, the most charming young actress alive, plays Julie, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a horror. Director Nora Ephron tries for frankness in her script by having Julie Powell call herself a bitch. That isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to rehab her. (RvB) >/>3@ 63/@B (PG13; 95 min.) Fake

documentary has Charlyne Yi traveling around trying to make a documentary about love. More importantly, the set-up allows Michael Cera to play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michael Cera,â&#x20AC;? which is all he can do anyway.

And he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign on to the Arrested Development movie because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid of being typecast?

That must be some kind of adorable joke only people who thought Juno was cute as the dickens can understand.

Island tourists discover theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being hunted by a psychopath in what appears to be (despite a lack of credit) yet another version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Most Dangerous Game,â&#x20AC;? the 1924 short story which has been adapted and ripped off more times than maybe any other piece of genre fiction. Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich star. (SP) >=<G= (G; 107 min.)

Ap@/>67<3 (Unrated; 128 min.) Director Martin Provost delivers a measured, Bressonian biopic of SĂŠraphine Louis, later known as SĂŠraphine de Senlis, a 1914-era scrubwoman and naive artist from

rural France. Yolande Moreau inhabits this poor womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shell: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncompromising, brawny acting. Provost provides a strong but not overstressed rhyme of this woman working in solitude with the life of this collector who had covert tendencies of his own, William Uhde (Ulrich Tukur), a lawyer and Paris gallery owner.

Provostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine biopic takes an unsentimental view of SĂŠraphineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art; her raptures and her loose grip on sanity are closed off to us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a private world we can watch from the outside and marvel at. (RvB) B63 B7;3 B@/D3:3@¸A E743

(PG-13; 107 min.) Eric Bana plays a man who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep to the present; things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go well for those around him when he keeps zooming off chronologically. Also stars Rachel McAdams.

(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.

The Kindest Cup A Northern California coffee blend takes its name from an all-toorare African success story AB3BB 6=:0@==9

T

HEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ORGANICALLY grown coffee. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shadegrown coffee that preserves forest habitat for wildlife. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair-trade coffee that ensures coffee workers are paid a fair wage for their labor. But Chidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blend from San Rafaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Equator Estate Coffee and Teas is in a league of its on in terms of social consciousness. Coffee is supposed to be stimulating, but a cup of java thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring is something quite different.

The medium-bodied blend of premium beans from Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Kenya is named after Zimbabwean activist Chido Govero, a young woman with a moving story to tell. Govero lost her mother to AIDS when she was 8. She never knew her father and found herself caring for her ailing grandmother and young brother. To support her family, she dropped out of elementary school to work in the fields around her village.

In order to be able to live on her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land, Govero had to endure abuse at the hands of her uncle and cousin.

Meanwhile, at nearby Africa University, researcher Margaret Tagwira began experimenting with mushroom farming on agricultural waste as a way to provide protein-rich food and business opportunities for poor rural communities. Partnering with Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives (ZERI), an organization that seeks to alleviate basic human needs

5==2 B= B63 :/AB 2@=> Chidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blend by Equator Estate Coffee and Teas raises the bar in fair trade.

with available local resources, Tagwira launched a mushroom-farming training program for orphans at the university. Govero was one of the first to participate.

After the training, the students returned to their villages knowing not only how to feed themselves but also how to earn money through sales in local markets. Some used their earnings to pay for school for themselves and their siblings. In time, many of these industrious girls married and started families of their own. Tagwira feared that family life would limit their ability to spread their knowledge as was originally hoped. Of the 15 girls who started the program, only Govero remained single.

Tagwira and her husband decided to adopt Govero and give her a home and the chance to go back to school.

Govero quickly advanced through school and learned more about

mushroom farming. The ZERI Foundation furthered her education and sent her to Colombia, India, Kenya and elsewhere to teach impoverished orphans like her farm a valuable, sustaining crop using readily available waste products. Today many of the communities Govero helped train are self-sufficient in protein without any inputs from the outside.

Govero has even taken her message to the Bay Area to teach unemployed youth in Marin City about the virtues of mushroom farming as a tool for job creation, healthy food production and reducing waste at local landfills.

Tagwira is now pursuing a doctorate in food and nutrition based on her experiences.

Govero went on to write a book about her experiences (The Future of Hope: Message From an African Orphan to a World in Crisis) and works in a Zimbabwean village to turn

dried grasses and leaves into soil for mushroom farming and continues to teach orphans how provide for themselves and free themselves of abusive situations through self sufficiency and food security.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of August 19 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): Maybe you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listened to very attentively as a child. Perhaps you were dressed in clothes you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like, hugged only three times a year and fed food you were allergic to.

I suppose itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even possible that your parents were psychotic drug dealers who kept you chained to a radiator in their squalid basement. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case, Aries, I would understand if you had an urge to devote the next three decades to bewailing your bitter past and scheming up ways to wreak revenge on the cruel world. But if you have ever been curious about whether there might be better ways to allocate your time and energy, I have good news. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you now have it in your power to overcome your toughest memories and set out on a course to become almost as secure as if those bad things had never happened.

sources. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you a hint about what to look for in the early going of the quest for the magic boon: What circumstance in your life has a certain metaphorical similarity to a speakeasy during the time when alcohol sales were illegal in America?

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a favorable moment to get your honeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name tattooed on your forearm. Maybe in November, but not now. On the other hand, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent time to determine whether your lover is willing to have your name tattooed on his or her forearm. In the coming weeks, I also encourage you to figure out which of your allies would give you half of their fudge brownie and which wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t; which authority figures would be inclined to give you precisely what you want rather than see you walk out of their lives; and which of your associates are too jealous of you to be truly helpful.

Be cagey about how you apply the tests, Scorpio. See if you can subtly gauge where everyone stands in relationship to you.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re listening to your favorite band on a stereo system.

There is a place between the two speakers where you will hear the two streams of music blend perfectly, exactly as the sound engineer intended. This place is called the sweet spot. If you play tennis or baseball, you know about another version of the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweet spot.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the area on the racquet or the bat where you get best results when striking the ball. According to my astrological analysis, Taurus, this will be your ruling metaphor for the next three weeks. You have arrived at your very own sweet spotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the embodiment of all that is melodious, graceful, delicious, aromatic, and effective.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to discuss The Game. Do you know what I mean?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about The Unnamed Game. The UberGame that is so vast and all-encompassing that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtually a secret. What if you discovered that one of the seemingly sacrosanct rules of The Game was really just a local ordinance, and no longer applied if you played in a different arena or at a higher level?

And what if I said that in this different arena or higher level, new allies are poised to introduce you to loopholes and shortcuts you never imagined existed?

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): Squirrels often bury

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

the nuts they find, intending to come back and retrieve their bounty at a later time. The only trouble is, they sometimes forget where their hiding places are, and the nuts go uneaten. This, at least, is the story told by childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book writer Beatrice Potter, and I regard her as an authority on such matters. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering a phase when it will be wise for you to track down and accumulate extra reserves of a prime resource. As you do, make sure you remember all the pertinent details that will allow you to fully access them when you need them in the future.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): For better or worse, you are at least temporarily becoming more psychic.

It could be a blessing, or it might be a bit of a burden.

You may really enjoy having an enhanced ability to tune in to what people are thinking and feeling, and it could prove eminently useful. Knowing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind might give you a significant edge as you work to turn grand fantasies into well-grounded realities. But it also might tax your empathy or tempt you to ignore boundaries that should be upheld. I hope that by informing you of this situation, I have made it far more likely that your higher sensitivity will be a gift instead of a glitch.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Your strategies are very close to working. The results youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve generated so far are almost useful, bordering on successful, and on the brink of being beautiful. My question now is: You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop here, will you? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already garnered a measure of recognition. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten a taste of victory over your old bugaboos. Will you be satisfied with these partial breakthroughs, or will you fight and kick and scratch to strip away the almosts and ascend to utter triumph?

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): No more rotten dessert, Virgo. No more silky danger or juicy poison.

No more worthless treasures or empty successes or idiotic brilliance. Soon all those crazy-making experiences will be gone, blasted, dead. By this time next week, the bad inf luences that were trying to pass themselves off as good inf luences will have fallen away in response to your courageous drive for authenticity. You will be primed to restore your innocence and play in places where purity is the rule, not the exception. Already, the wisdom of your wild heart is regenerating, giving you the strength to overthrow the sour, life-hating inf luences that were threatening to smother your spirit. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): An epic treasure hunt will soon begin. Are you ready for it? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you are. To get yourself in shape to perform at a high level, I suggest that you open your mind wider than you ever have before. The clues that will be most helpful wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resemble any clues youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever valued in the past, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be arriving from unforeseen

been lurking and slinking long enough, Capricorn.

For now, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned all you need to know about wrestling with camouf lage and subterfuge. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done all you could to clean up the crooked places and bring integrity to the twisted stories. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high time for you to come out and playâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to exit the claustrophobic maze and make a break for wide-open spaces. Some cautionary advice: To keep from getting pinched by trick endings, make sure all sales are final and all goodbyes are complete.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Technically, this would be an excellent time to shuck all your responsibilities and plunge into a week-long bacchanalia, complete with rowdy feasting and delirious dancing and lunatic laughter and erotic abandon and mind-altering emotions. Realistically, though, while such an interlude might do wonders for your relationship with yourself, it could dampen your relationships with people who rely on you.

Unless of course you could coax them into joining you on your binge. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Did you ever notice that some people seem to be addicted to falling in love over and over again? While they may truly have a natural propensity to exult in the beauty of a great variety of their fellow humans, I also suspect that their addiction serves as an excuse for them to fall in love with themselves over and over again. At least in part, each new romantic partner is a pawn in their strategy for coming back home to themselves. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m inclined to ask these people: Why not simply eliminate the middleman or middlewoman?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not necessarily implying that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll benefit from this advice right now, Pisces. But then why did a soft, lulling voice in my head just suggest that I tell it to you?

Walking with an older friend the other day, she mentioned how remarkable her mother was, raising six children and working full time as well. Mothering, baking, cleaning, sewing most of the clothes, washing and time left over to help with school activities.

When I did not seem very impressed she wanted to know why I wasn’t.

“It doesn’t seem that bad to me” I said.

Being from another generation (or two) back, I indicated that perhaps her mother might have had more time than she would now.

I pointed out of all the things she did not have to do either at work or at home: check emails, and respond, check home phone messages, make calls back as needed, check cell phone messages, call backs, check face book for updates, post the latest family activities on it, and respond to any received remarks. Answer the portable phone, or cell phone when it rings and or listen to the voices that pour into your blue ear. Blog, twitter or tweet. Phone the bank with a question and go through the menu till you get a human on the line which could take an hour. If moving be sure you set up your computer, load up the ipod with new music, sign up for TV cable or Comcast.

Learn how to program your phones, clocks, appliances, houses. Learn how to operate your digital stove, how to program your VCR to play DVDs and old tapes. Learn to operate your computer with new programs, if needing medical attention going to primary doctor, then get appointment for others as needed, then fight the insurance company to pay the bills. She did not have to stand in long lines and pass through security scrutiny and go through tunnels to get on an airplane after removing her shoes and perhaps making a bell ring. On jury duty, she did not have to pass through security devises before taking her seat in the jury box. She did not have the opportunity to spend hours and buy extravagant things in giant super markets which have banks, flower shops and cafes built-in. She did not have to shop online in her spare time.

Her mother had real things to do and interactions with real people including the little people she took care of. To me, it didn’t sound that bad.

Asking $269,000 • Best location in the park • Lake view, steps to club house • Pool, work out room, Jacuzzi • 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 baths • Custom designed with entry foyer • Gourmet chefs will love the kitchen • 1650 square feet, cathedral ceilings • All age park, beautiful surroundings

NO TIME TO SPARE

Oh well, gotta run, the phone is ringing. Be old-fashioned; buy a house from a real people.
