Softening regulations on what kinds of businesses can occupy downtown buildings took little consideration by city leaders. From 2007 to 2009, vacant office space downtown tripled from about 60,000 square feet to more than 180,000

square feet. Vacant space equals dwindling sales and property taxes for city coffers, and at 2030 North Pacific, Santa Cruz city leaders have an especially high stake in seeing business begin to boom.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because in May, with the condo complex on the verge of default and $1.2 million in fees still owed to the city, 2030â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead developer Christopher Garwood turned over two 867-square-foot condos to the

Kicking The Habit

In Watsonville, a bold experiment is putting troubled kids from rival gangs on a soccer team, with surprising results. A season with the Aztecas.

0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=> >6=B=A 0G 43:7>3 0C7B@/5=

INA CASTANEDA stands along the sidelines inside the cavernous Soccer Central Indoor Sports arena in Watsonville, shouting to the teenage boys in the purple uniforms tumbling back and forth on the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buena, buena, Jesus!â&#x20AC;? she yells. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baja las manos!â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first game of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late summer season, and the clamshell arena glows yellow in the long July daylight. As one of the boys on her team runs past, Castaneda frowns suddenly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wearing red shorts,â&#x20AC;? she says. He runs past again.

Sure enough, underneath a pair of baggy black soccer shorts heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wearing a second pair, a red flash as he sprints by. Wearing red, the color of the NorteĂąo street gang, is strictly forbidden on the team. So is wearing blue, the color of the rival SureĂąos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk to him about,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do the subtlest things and think I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice.â&#x20AC;?

Castaneda is good at spotting these small acts of rebellion. For the last four years, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a deputy probation officer for Santa Cruz County, working with juvenile offenders who live in the Watsonville area. Her team is made up of a small handful of the 400 youths currently on, or at least in contact with, county probation, some of them from rival gangs. That means something as minuscule as a pair of poorly hidden red shorts can break the truce that Castaneda brokered in order to form the Aztecas soccer B] dWSe ORRWbW]\OZ ^V]b]U`O^Va team a year and a half O\R dWRS] OP]cb bVS /hbSQOa dWaWb ago. In a symbolic show of eee aO\bOQ`ch Q][ \Sea ]\ <]d neutrality, the team wears <]d ! O\R <]d $ purpleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;red plus blue.

Despite the red shorts and a short flurry of carding in the second half, the Aztecas finish the game on topâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the final score is 6-4. The boys gather near the exit along with Castanedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, who herds their three daughters back together, a few adult mentors who play on the team and some parents. Despite the victory, Castaneda has some words for the boys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want no â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hats, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want red and blue,â&#x20AC;? she yells over the echoing din of the next games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not tights, not underwear, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what it isâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no red or blue. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have to keep on repeating it.â&#x20AC;?

Even without their colors, the team that is gathered around her does look different from the other adult menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams that play every Monday evening.

They are much younger, between 15 and 19. A few of them decidedly lack the posture of athletes; they saunter rather than walk down the Astroturf.

And tucked into a couple of pairs of black knee socks is the square bulge of an electronic monitoring bracelet. The soccer games are one of the few places those players are allowed to go.

As the boys dissipate outside the arena, a cluster of threeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one wearing the forbidden â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wâ&#x20AC;? hat (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wâ&#x20AC;? is for Washington Nationals, the initials

of the Watsonville NorteĂąos) turned backwardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;groan as Castaneda reminds them to come to the Thursday practice. Once out of her earshot, one says to the other, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you gonna play again?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nah, fuck that,â&#x20AC;? the boy replies.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just par for the course with a team of juvenile offenders. For the 20 youths that have stepped on the field wearing Aztecas purple since 2008, the results vary. Castaneda says her husband ran into one of their former players, now an adult, picking up recyclables. He was homeless. Some have abandoned the team and returned to gangs; still others live a kind of double life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are still walking the fence: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do I want to be a soccer player or do I want to be a gang member, or can I do both?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Castaneda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some kids on the soccer team who have done very, very well, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten off probation, have set goals for themselves, are looking into college. We have the whole spectrum here, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really interesting.â&#x20AC;?

Sal Castaneda warns that her players may not talk to a reporter. Those who are still involved in gang life will be the most resistant, she tells me. But ¨ $

1=D3@ AB=@G j 97197<5 B63 6/07B thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one clear exception, 18-year-old Salvador Garcia, one of the founding members of the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our success story,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Garcia is a stocky teenager with soft but serious features. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet and speaks with a heavy accent. When Castaneda first took on Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, he was on track to be placed in a group home as a ward of the court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had an extensive criminal history and was escalating very quickly in our system,â&#x20AC;? she says.

At the age of 11, Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents moved their entire family to Watsonville from MichoacĂĄn, in southern Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard for me,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was telling my parents that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go to school because I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand, like, nobody.â&#x20AC;?

By the time he entered eighth grade, Garcia says his English had improved dramatically and he was starting to make friends. Without knowing it, however, he had surrounded himself with boys with ties to the SureĂąo street gang, a Southern California gang with origins in the Mexican Mafia. Garcia says rival gang members, the NorteĂąos, who have ties to the Northern California gang Nuestra Familia, took notice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was telling me stuff like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why you hang out with them, are you scrapa or something?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says, using the derogatory slang term for SureĂąo, which essentially means â&#x20AC;&#x153;piece of trash.â&#x20AC;? The threats were accompanied by increasing pressure from his friends to align himself with them and retaliate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My friends were like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to tell them whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says.

His parents, who both worked long days in the strawberry fields in Watsonville, were not around to monitor his increasingly risky behavior.

It started out with street fights against the NorteĂąos whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been hassling him, but soon enough he and his friends also began skipping school. At 13, he says, he tried drinking and marijuana for the first time, and within the year, moved on to cocaine, then to smoking meth and finally smoking heroin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were getting high and getting drunk almost all the time, almost all days in the streets, not coming home. Just sleep for a little bit, then go back out,â&#x20AC;? he says. By the time Garcia was in the 11th grade, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been locked up in the Felton juvenile hall three times.

But for some reason, the third time for Garcia was the charm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents had a lot of stress because of my problems, so I started to think about it, and I thought this life that I was going through wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good for me,â&#x20AC;? he says.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;So then I met Gina when I got on probation. She was the one that told me I could get involved with soccer. At first I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to, but she made me.â&#x20AC;?

Aztec Empire Castaneda got Garcia on two soccer teams in order to take up his time. On her caseload, the name of the game is, to some extent, distraction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strongly believe in rehabilitation.

So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about making sure the youth has counseling, that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing community service, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving back to the community, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enrolled and attending school, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get them in pro-social activities, jobs,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily know that you do that much.â&#x20AC;?

The transition was not smooth.

Two rival SureĂąos clashed, a NorteĂąo and a SureĂąo whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d previously fought in the streets got into it on the field.

This approach is an important piece of why Santa Cruz County enjoys a prestigious reputation as one of the best juvenile probation programs in the country. At present, for example, only 22 youths call the juvenile hall home. The goal is placement outside of the hall, in programs and activities like the Aztecas, with close one-on-one work with officers like Castaneda in cases of medium- or high-risk youth.

Garcia says he was surprised by how much he enjoyed playing. By that time Castaneda had gotten five of her boys on different soccer teams as their â&#x20AC;&#x153;prosocialâ&#x20AC;? activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d continue to ask me to come to their soccer games, and it ¨

was taking a lot of time out of my life,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you put them on one team and you could coach it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

In April of 2008, Castaneda scraped together $400 worth of startup money and let the rest of the probation officers know that their kids could join the team. She recruited her husband to play, along with a handful of other adult mentors and probation officers.

There was just one problem with the response. Some interested boys were in warring factions of SureĂąos, and others were NorteĂąo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were doing kind of like peace treaties, gang treaties, between them, making it clear they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be involved in any gang stuff while they were playing soccer,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree were asked not to play.â&#x20AC;?

The first official meeting of the Aztecas was nerve-wracking, with eight players from three rival gangs in the same conference room of the South County probation offices, but the

original Aztecas agreed to leave their gang affiliations off the field.

The transition was not smooth. Two rival SureĂąos clashed, a NorteĂąo and a SureĂąo who had previously fought in the streets got into it on the field, and even their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Castaneda insists that parents attend all games and practicesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;began a screaming match over the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heads. But through her mediation, Castaneda says eventually things calmed down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were able to get along after that. And when I say get along, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean become best friends,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mad dogging each other, they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t threatening each other, there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t no more issues when they saw each other on the street.

They kind of just ignored each other.

They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even give each other highfives after scoring goals.â&#x20AC;?

But she says there were signs that the team was having the desired effect. After stress from the birth of her third child left her pondering whether to end the

kind of thinking, because my girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have a boy or a girl pretty soon, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just being with my family.â&#x20AC;?

Jorge and Jesus

Aztecas soccer team for a season, Garcia spoke up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If the team goes away, I will dive right back into what I was doing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Castaneda. His fervor surprised her, and she stuck it out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it die. I see how impactful it is.â&#x20AC;?

For the Garcia family, the team has taken on a critical role in their lives.

Even though Sal injured his knee before the start of this season and is unable to play, he is a fixture at every game and practice, along with his mother and girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who is several months along with Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s babyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who like to sit on the top row of the bleachers and wave a huge clacking noisemaker after every goal. Garcia says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been sober for 18 months and is now in his final year at Escuela Quetzal in Santa Cruz, a high school for teens in recovery. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean his struggle is over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m down to kick with the SureĂąos again. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m down to roll with them and do bad stuff,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

Because the team is constantly strapped for cash, Soccer Central sometimes donates the team practice time on Thursdays, which usually costs $75. The expansive fields of Ramsay Park are just outside the arena, but because of concerns about gang retaliation, the boys canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be seen together in the open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They could be targeted for violence, the adult members of the team could be targeted for violenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;anyone could,â&#x20AC;? says Castaneda.

As the first practice of the late summer season begins, she sticks out her hand to one of the players, 16-yearold Jorge (Santa Cruz Weekly is not publishing the last names of minors in this story). He had just finished his six-month probation sentence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congratulations,â&#x20AC;? she says. He grins.

His 18-year-old brother Jose watches the exchange silently.

Jose is an impressive player, a powerful and aggressive forward. With the exception of a few speeding tickets, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been in any trouble. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his brother Jorgeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best (albeit reluctant) defenseman, an expressive young man with big, dark eyesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who led them to the Aztecas.

Like Garcia, the brothers moved from MichoacĂĄn with their parents and eight older siblings. Jose was eight and Jorge was six. They lived in the migrant camps during the growing season and spent the rest of their time in Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was weird, we were just traveling back and forth,â&#x20AC;? says Jose, who, as the elder, is the more verbose of the two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know no English, so it was hard, [but] we were really poor over there, in Mexico, so it was a good opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

Then, about a year ago, Jorge formed a group of new friends in the migrant camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just, like, going around with bad friends and doing bad stuff.

They put me on the bad way,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then it happened quickly, the problem.â&#x20AC;?

Jose says the â&#x20AC;&#x153;problemâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a non-drug offense that neither brother wants to discussâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;tore apart his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friendships with other migrant working families. The family moved to a twobedroom apartment in Castroville. After a string of court appearances, Jorge was finally placed on probation, a relief since he says the charge was a felony.

The incident threw Jorge into ¨

1=D3@ AB=@G j 97197<5 B63 6/07B emotional turmoil, until his probation officer suggested he join the Aztecas.

Castaneda agreed that Jose could play too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Jorge] was always like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want to be close to you because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re my older brother, and I want you to be close to me in this time,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Jose recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I just started playing.â&#x20AC;?

For Jorge, the team has had many positive effects, and the brothers decide to remain for the season, even though Jorgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probation is over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helped me a lot, because it kept me out of the streets.

Ginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful coach,â&#x20AC;? says Jorge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She never asked me [what I did], but if she would have I would have talked to her. I used to hate the police. I still hate the police, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a friend.â&#x20AC;?

Jesus Castaneda is not always everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend. By late August, the Aztecas are doing well, with four wins and a tie. But another regular player, 17-year-old Jesus, is conspicuously missing from one of the games. At a following Monday game, as people are leaving, I glimpse Castaneda near the exit of the arena, peering up into Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; face as he stares at the ground.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear from her stern expression that they are not having a friendly chat.

Behind her is another probation officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels horrible,â&#x20AC;? he tells me later on. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not talking about guilt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always checking up on you. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like people being like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, how are things going, are you doing good? Oh, you been doing drugs or you been smoking or something? You been drinking?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aw, câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon. All teenagers do that now.â&#x20AC;?

Jesus is another top scorer for the team. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bigger than most of the other boys, with the hang-dog good looks of an unlucky rebel. He says he was originally sent to juvenile hall for breaking into a house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just trying to get money,â&#x20AC;? he says with a selfconscious smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The police was outside.

I guess someone called it in. I was just all in shock, like, damn.â&#x20AC;?

Jesus joined the Aztecas three seasons ago, and his mother, a cannery worker from Sinaloa, in northwestern Mexico, is often at the games. He was doing well, he says, until he skipped a meeting with Castaneda. (For her part, Castaneda can only say cryptically that she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give him a violation just for skipping one meeting.) He gestures at his ankle, where a small black electronic monitoring device is strapped. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have it for a month, and besides school and soccer practice, he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to go further than 100 yards past

his front step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boring being at the house, not being able to go outside, join parties and stuff,â&#x20AC;? he gripes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on probation, I feel like I get myself more into trouble. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Probably because they pay attention.â&#x20AC;?

Gina Castaneda understands the boys on her team better than they might think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say most of them donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? she says of her past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want them to learn from your experiences, but sometimes you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if you can share them or not.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In my family, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear a certain color or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get beat up. And it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get smacked. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get punched, socked, people wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop hitting you until you were on the ground, rolling around.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The origins of the team lie in Castanedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. Her stepfather, a foreman on a large strawberry farm in Watsonville, built a soccer field for the employees he managed and coached a team, the Aztecas, after which Castanedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team is named. She says she often found herself on that field, practicing with her stepfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team.

It was an escape from what was going on back home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We grew up in a family where being a gang member was the ¨

Castaneda says her mother and older brothers were heavily involved in gangs and substance abuse, and regularly took their tempers out on her and her little sisters. Castaneda and her five siblings all have different fathers, and she remembers a household that would regularly fall into chaos. She says her stepfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouragement was one of the few positive things she remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would say to me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to your mom, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good kid,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one positive thing that came out of it was love for sports.â&#x20AC;?

But when the relationship between her mother and stepfather fell apart, things deteriorated even further. After the breakup, Castaneda and her mother lived in a car until it broke down. They began sleeping in abandoned homes, in

parks and on the street. Castaneda was 11 years old.

One of the her most vivid memories is the night she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find her mother when she got back to their normal meeting place, the Watsonville Plaza, after school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I finally sat down at a bus stop in front of El Mundial on Main Street and broke down,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeboy, or his gang friend, walked up behind me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gina, is that you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He just sat with me all night.

The next morning he took me over to the gas station and he bought me two chili dogs. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two bucks, go to school. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find your mom, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet you here again.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend eventually did find Castanedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother for her, but she remained homeless until she was 16 1/2â&#x20AC;&#x201D;old enough to get a job at Subway and con her way into an apartment by telling the landlord she was a Cabrillo College student. She also says she never stopped going to school, if for nothing else that it was a warm place where she got fed, but her soccer skills earned her the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;athlete of the

yearâ&#x20AC;? and a cover story in the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

The story caught the attention of a county worker who suggested her to Salud Para La Gente, where she was offered a job as an HIV peer educator, distributing condoms and discussing clean needles with migrant working men at bars, eventually moving on to form a teen womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health group and a family planning clinic. She began working on gang issues as a gang intervention specialist in local high schools and a counselor at juvenile drug court. It was there that another probation officer made a suggestion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We need people like you to become probation officers,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Castaneda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Not me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m never going to be law enforcement.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? But on a whim she applied anyway and got the job.

Despite her history, Castaneda says she still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to tell her charges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In law enforcement youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taught not to share anything personal,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One time, a father said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How could you even want to give information to his PO?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;it was because [his son] had gotten in troubleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;when you know what it is to live on the streets?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The father wanted to manipulate it so I would feel bad.â&#x20AC;?

Nevertheless, there are echoes of her personal experience in the way she treats her players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[While Jesus was in juvenile hall,] I called him to check in on him. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do I have to turn in my uniform?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to turn in your uniform. As long as you want to play on the team, there will be a spot on the team for you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to turn them away like everyone else in their lives has.â&#x20AC;?

The Finals Come the end of September, the Aztecas have made it handily to the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division 4 final championship round with eight wins, a tie and only one loss. Aside from the usual bickering over playing time and who gets stuck playing defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no one ever wants to play defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the season has been relatively drama-free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we can win the whole thing,â&#x20AC;? says Castaneda outside the arena.

The team parents use the increased crowds come playoff time at Soccer Central to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage, setting up a fundraising taco stand outside the doors and selling carne asada, chorizo and al pastor tacos for $1.50 each. In the past, the taco stand has raised half of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $600 league fee, with the rest coming from places like the Lions Club.

Sal Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom and girlfriend Erica do most of the cooking over the hot gaspowered disco. By now Erica is massively pregnant. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a boy, Sal tells me, due Nov. 11. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re naming him Daniel.

The team has made it to the playoffs the last six seasons, but never further than the semifinals before. The quarterfinal was a nail-biter against La Florida, in which the boys spent the entire first half losing before surging ahead in the second to tie the game at 7-7 (â&#x20AC;&#x153;My stomach hurts,â&#x20AC;? Castaneda groaned on the sidelines). One of the adult players scored the winning goal with just a few minutes to spare.

The semifinal the next day, a foggy Tuesday night, was a hard-fought battle against El Huracan, the only team that beat them this season. The boys asserted themselves early, but knowing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never made it further than this round had emotions running highâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there was an abundance of carding and several tense minutes when an El Huracan player went down and had to be carried off the field. In the end, the Aztecas clinched a clear victory, 5-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eat healthy, get rest, and no smoking or drinking,â&#x20AC;? she told the boys afterward, to the usual snickers and eye-rolling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely proud of the boys,â&#x20AC;? she said breathlessly in the parking lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen them.â&#x20AC;?

That Friday, at 7:50pm, the boys arrive at the arena. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark and foggy. The late game gives the lighting inside the arena a different character, like stage lights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to be nervous, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the final,â&#x20AC;? says Jorge as he laces up his shoes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be hard. But we probably will beat them. Win the championship.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really nervous,â&#x20AC;? Jesus sums up the moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exciting.â&#x20AC;?

Castaneda is nervous too. All but one boyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;another house arrestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are there on time, an atypical way for them to spend a Friday night. Two of the three players whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d groused at the first game are there, though their friend in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wâ&#x20AC;?-hat is not. The arena is packed, and the boys are nervous and drawing attention to themselves. At one point, Castaneda runs into an old soccer buddy who asks her who the â&#x20AC;&#x153;gangster kidsâ&#x20AC;? are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were posted up and mad dogging and seeing whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around them,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not normal for them to be at a soccer arena, in a championship game when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, what, 250 people?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really uncomfortable for them.â&#x20AC;?

The rival team, Chelsea, enters the field in neon yellow jerseys. Castaneda nervously sets up the players, giving out positions and advice, all while her ¨

5-year-old daughter obliviously trails her, pleading for 50 cents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more nervous than you guys are,â&#x20AC;? she says just before the first whistle starts the game.

Early in the first half, both Jose and an adult mentor score, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-0 thanks to multiple flying saves by adult goalie Jose â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bellyâ&#x20AC;? Barriga.

But by the second half Bellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luck runs out, and the score quickly climbs to a tie, 2-2. At 11 minutes, he gives up one more at close range, then another at the high right pocket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to lose,â&#x20AC;? snaps Castaneda as the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chatter in the box turns negative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not over, Aztecas.â&#x20AC;? Minutes later, Castanedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband scores, and the energy on the field takes on an almost frenzied pitch. With three minutes left, Jose passes back to Castanedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, who taps it in to tie the game.

In what seems like a flash, the final minutes tick down on the half. The game enters a five-minute sudden death, and with a couple extremely close shots

by Jose, Castanedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usual coaching tips are reduced to breathless gasps of disappointment. The crowd, which is

almost entirely Chelsea supporters, is getting bloodthirsty, cheering when Belly momentarily falls to the ground holding his face. But the score sticks stubbornly at 4-4 through two five-minute rounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is it,â&#x20AC;? says Castaneda.

First up, Jose put one away easily in the far left corner. Belly dives for the right pocket, deflecting the first Chelsea kicker. Jorge takes the second shot, but it bounces just outside the far left hand side of the goal, and he buries his face in his hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK,â&#x20AC;? Castaneda yells. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jorgeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;lift up your head.â&#x20AC;? The next two shooters make the exact same mistake, until the third Chelsea player makes it with a hard shot to the lower left side. The score is tied, 1-1, and Jesus is up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Esta bien, esta bien,â&#x20AC;? Castaneda hollers.

Jesus steps back, winds up and trots toward the ball. The shot glances off the goalieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left hand and in. Jesus throws a fist in the air and smiles, high-fives Jorge, and instead of running back to the center with the other boys, jogs up and hugs Castaneda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good job,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Si ¨

The final Chelsea shooter winds up and shootsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it! We won! We won! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our game!â&#x20AC;? Castaneda yells. Belly grabs Jesus in a headlock, the brothers hug Castaneda, everyone high-fives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nice job out there, nice playing,â&#x20AC;? she says hoarsely to one of the boys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe we won.â&#x20AC;? She sighs, grinning.

Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right back to business as she turns to one of the players and asks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why were you late?â&#x20AC;?

Fall In some ways the win is anticlimactic.

The boys are nonchalant, allowing Castaneda to take them out for pizza, where they play Street Fighter II and pose for unsmiling photos with the tall gold trophy. But just like that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over. The fall season starts the very next Monday.

A few major changes have occurred by the fall. Jorge and Jose announce theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be playing for their high school team and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play with the Aztecas anymore.

Jose starts making tentative plans to go

to college. Garcia, as he prepares for the arrival of his son, graduates from his comprehensive probation program. All he has left to do is pay restitution to one of his victims to get off probation for good, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as eager as one might think, according to Castaneda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other day, he showed me enough money to pay off his restitution. He just chooses not to. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making small payments towards it,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid to let go. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had several conversations with him about how we can still be supportive to him, but this is what he chooses.â&#x20AC;?

As for Castaneda, she allows herself only a short beat to react to the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went home and I cried,â&#x20AC;? she says. What set her off, she says, was something Jesus said right after he scored the winning penalty kick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thank you for believing in me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I thought he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thank you for believing in me, that I could score.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But at least two or three more times at the pizza place he kept coming up to me and saying thank you,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than just a penalty kick.â&#x20AC;? 0

and in 1963 co-founded with Romare Bearden the Spiral group of prominent African American artists who wanted to contribute to civil rights.

Increasingly recognized, exhibited and collected, Mayhew began to teach, first at the Brooklyn Museum, then the Art Students League and then in the 1970s at San Jose State, Sonoma State, Hayward and UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz. He created an interdisciplinary program at Penn State, teaching the creative process itself. He involved engineers and scientists as well as dancers, musicians and visual artists. He smiles at the thought of musicians playing a geodesic dome as if it were a horn, much to the amusement of Buckminster Fuller. Such encouragement of creative thinking affected students of many disciplines.

From 1976 to 1978 he worked to establish the Center for Experimental Arts and Sciences as an international center for innovative and creative thinking at Fort Baker in the Marin Headlands. The effort failed but no doubt helped clear a way for later development of the Headlands Art Center.

Even now, at 85, Mayhew is always creating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nature changes moods, constantly refreshes itself. The light moves every 20 minutes, a different cycle.â&#x20AC;? He cups his hand into a tight arrow pointing toward his face, then opens it away from himself, fingers spreading into a flat fan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the morning a leaf is like this, then all day it works its way toward that.

Ukulele Dick strikes againâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; this time with a jug band tribute to Motown 0G /CAB7< A/@23::/

R

ICK MCKEE, better known as Ukulele Dick, has made his mark on Santa Cruz in myriad ways, most recently as the creative force behind the White Album Ensemble, a Beatles tribute band known for its album-length concerts. We spoke with McKee about Motown, writing music and his upcoming show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jugtown U.S.A.,â&#x20AC;? a performance of Motown standardsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; what local funny man and guest performer Sven Davis calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;the music we mated toâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;performed on washtub bass and other jug band instruments.

2009 is the 50th anniversary of Motown [Records], so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re celebrating that. It started with my own personal experience with the style. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a baby boomer, and by the time I hit puberty, Motown was everywhere. So when I was a post-adolescent, cruising around and trying to pick up girls, that was what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d play in the car.

There was a song called â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Girl,â&#x20AC;? and I recently played the bass line on the jug and thought it sounded good. Mostly, putting Jugtown U.S.A. together was a matter of finding people who could do it.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a Supremes medleyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where Did Our Love Go?,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop in the Name of Love,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;My World Is Empty Without You, Babe.â&#x20AC;?

First and foremost, affordability. Back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;20s, people couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford instruments, but they still needed to play music. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing Motown instruments anyone can afford. When I was a kid, I just picked up anything I could play with and jammed. What drew me to the guitar as a teenager was the need to get laid. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sexy instrument, and cheap.

The ukulele, of course. I also play the guitar, the banjo and the piano, mostly for songwriting. I never studied music.

In the upcoming show Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also playing the jug, the beer-o-phone, xylophone, some guitar, harmonica and lots of kazoo. In the show there will be a lot of horn parts, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing those with kazoos. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a Jr. Walker and the All-Stars song with a saxophone solo thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mind-blower on the kazoo.

One of the instruments weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using in the show is a washtub bassâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you turn a bucket upside down, stick a broomstick on top and run a string from the bucket to the top of the broomstick. We gave one to our bassist Matt Bohn and he came back a few

¡B63 AE33>3@A¸ 1:3/<A C> IN A TIME of war, are there any heroes left at home? Set against the backdrop of a New York neighborhood near the end of World War II, The Sweepers tackles a number of issues facing Italian-Americans at the time and immigrants in general, confronting religious ideals, wartime morals and the opposing needs of integrating into a new world and preserving tradition. Plagued only with the rare accent slip, suspect Italian pronunciation and occasional opening night kink, Alan Fox directed an exceptional cast through mounting tensions from the lightheartedly humorous opening scene through the gripping drama of the second act. The cast is without a weak link (which is excellent, because there are only five players) but especially compelling is Michelle Shulman as Bella Cichinelli, the mother who fears her sacrifices for her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newfound position in life will only push him away. The set artfully painted the neighborhood, the costumes were without fault (the hats were especially delightful) and the sound and light effects were captivating. Filled with great visual gags, verbal dueling and insightful notions, The Sweepers is a riveting opening to the 2009 season of the Broadway Theater. (Austin Sardella) THE SWEEPERS runs Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sunday, Nov. 13â&#x20AC;&#x201C;15, at 8pm at the Broadway Theater, 526 Broadway, Santa Cruz. Tickets are $10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$17.

Working class people, racial minorities, women, the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;anyone whose story has played second fiddle to the dominant narrativeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;get a voice in this anthology through the words of such luminaries as Alice Walker, Jimmy Santiago Baca and Arundhati Roy.

(1982) This movie is now acknowledged as a Jim Henson classic, but at the time it came out most people just did not get it. I was 10, and I sure didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. It freaked me the hell out. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sort of amazed it was ever made. With

and January Jones.

Curtis also rubbishes a fascinating story, the history of how shipto-shore radio shortcircuited the BBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ban on rock music during the 1960s. Taking this interesting David and Goliath story, Curtisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inspiration was to put pontoons under Animal House and float it.

Kenneth Branagh plays the John Cleeseâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;like fussy inspector, who determines to use the British government to shut down the musical madcaps afloat on a boat, broadcasting in

the North Sea. Nighy plays the saturnine owner of the boat, and he has the proper louche 1960s air but nothing to do with it; he stands around, making the sour persimmon face, and we wait for something to happen. Hoffman is the legend-in-his-own-mind American DJ called the Count. Some rivalry is established when a fellow Yank DJ arrives on the boat: repeatoffender Rhys Ifans playing the silky Gavin Cavanaugh. (Opens Fri at Cinema 9.) (RvB)

AC>3@;/< (1978) Screw the post-Batman wave of gothic comicbook flicks. While many may mistakenly remember it as passe because it featured a man in tights instead of rubber nipples, Superman: The Movie was the first important comic-book epic. In 1978 it was a gutsy move to take an outlandish hero so seriously, and director Richard Donner aced the task of putting the Man of Steel into a hyperrealistic settingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thank God Joel Schumacher

@3D73EA /;3:7/ (PG; 119 min.) If there ever was a figure who deserved a postmodern bio, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amelia Earhart, since she left so many questions behind. Mira Nairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amelia spins the time frame around, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in the standard fashion: incidents of her final world-circling flight are intercut with scenes from the beginning of the aviatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career. Amelia is very much the canned biopic that exists solely because a celebrated actress is playing on a physical resemblance.

Hilary Swank does look like Earhart, grinning large, with freckles and bleached hair. But repeat offender Ron Bassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prolix script keeps underlining every relationship with a yellow felt pen. The film is a little more frank about Earhartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life than previous versions of the story, and tells of an affair with the Washington socialite and West Point instructor Eugene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). The staging of the finale over the Pacific is dramatic enough. Still, if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the ending, Amelia would be the in-flight movie parexcellence: the kind of movie that seems to be made for the purpose of watching itself.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 20 years since Michael Moore made Roger & Me, about the layoffs that devastated Flint, Mich. The only thing that has changed today is that Flint is worse, and its woes have spread throughout the United States. Moore makes a nationwide tour of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreckage.

He follows the collapse of the real estate market and sits with the victims of a family farm eviction in upstate New York. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been worthwhile since 1989 is his tendency to sass back to corporate spokesmen instead of taking their statements at face value.

wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involved. Even Marlon Brandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ponderous overacting as Supermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Jor-El at the beginning of the film served to establish that this movie was a world apart from the kiddie fare that had previously passed for comic-book adaptations.

Superman also has a towering villain, in the form of Lex Luthor, and a serious actor to flesh him out, in the form of Gene Hackman.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the top of his game, looking like a cross between mobstermode DeNiro and the Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Man as he sneers contempuously at his â&#x20AC;&#x153;boy scoutâ&#x20AC;? nemesis Chris Reeve. The key to the movie, though, is Donnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect eye for action. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still amazing how easily he gets us to buy into all of Supermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stunts, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filling in for a missing railroad track, drilling into the ground, or circling the Earth at speeds that judging from the crazy skid marks he leaves are not only faster than a speeding bullet but actually in violation of several natural laws.

Like the old Star Trekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic slingshot-aroundthe-sun ploy, you just find yourself nodding agreeably at the screen and thinking they must have covered this technique in science class while you were out smoking behind the school. (Plays at Cinema 9 on Thu at 8pm.) (SP)

min.) Audrey Tautou plays the designer as modernist in the years before World War Iâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a woman who assumed male privilege by assuming the simplicity and directness of their clothes. After a stint as a saloon singer, Coco calculates her way into bed with a wealthy rouĂŠ named Etienne Balsan (Benoit Poelvoorde).

Director Anne Fontaine reminds us that this is a movie from the country that gave us The Rules of the Game. What could have been a dull birdin-the-gilded-cage story turns urbane, with the ever-changing flow of power between the slightly wizened but sporty decadent. When Balsan realizes that another man has stolen Coco, he only murmurs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m smiling, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one who let the fox into the hen house.â&#x20AC;?

The fox in question: a British businessman nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boyâ&#x20AC;?

(Alessandro Nivola). The end titles call the house of Chanel an empire, but Tautouâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;last seen, cigarette on lip, in a cage of mirrors, surrounded by models wearing her gownsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;makes it look like mostly hard work.

its way to the top. There is no climactic moment on the field toward which our emotions are guided. Instead, the film explores the sheer hubris of legendary soccer coach Brian Clough as he waltzes into and takes over a blatantly dirty Leeds United club for a spell of 44 days in 1974, primarily to enact revenge against his old foe, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous coach, Don Revie. Played decisively by Michael Sheen, Clough comes into the club demanding to revamp its gritty style of play, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. He is met with a hostile group of players still loyal to Revie (Colm Meaney), whom Clough detests. The movie is less a sports flick and more of a straight-up docudrama and personality study, also with constant interplay between Clough and his trusted talent scout, sidekick and much-needed soccer conscience, Peter Taylor (Timothy Spall). Clough is nothing without Taylor, and we get to see their deteriorating partnership juxtaposed against the backdrop of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on with the team on the field. (GS) B63 6=@A3 0=G

brother Arthur (Richard Kind), an obese holy fool. The postmodern moments give A Serious Man a vaudeville kick: a prologue about the appearance of a demon in the old-time Jewish ghetto is staged like a lost episode of Mario Bavaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Sunday. In another of this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parables, a Hebrew message is carved by God into the teeth of a gentile to teachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what? some indecipherable lesson, like the physics equations on Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chalkboard, like the Hebrew letters Danny is too dumb to learn.

Photographer Roger Eakins and composer Carter Burwell do outstanding work making these episodes coalesce into a fever dream of persecution and encroachment.

the picture, who flees to a monster island.

The feature film gives children due respect for their towering moods. But childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moods change, and this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially gloomy, like a collection of Peanuts strips clipped of their punch lines.

The film is staged in an Australian forest, the domain of seven or eight depressed creatures (Lauren Ambrose, James Gandolfini and Catherine Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara, among others). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cautious and fretful; they form cliques and snipe at each other. The rumpusing beastliness always ends with some injury, as per Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning about how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Scriptwriter Dave Eggersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work is typically formless, cute and drifty.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no artistic force behind this movie, only whims and anxieties. A parting word from the beasts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go home, will you say good things about us?,â&#x20AC;? seems addressed to a baffled audience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a cult item for aging-children hipster types, the ones who would wear their terrycloth wolf-suits to work if they could.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of November 11 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): A whitewash happens when you use deceit to cover up the messy facts about a situation. A blackwash is just the opposite: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you invoke candor as you reveal complications that have previously been veiled. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be prime time to enjoy a jubilee of blackwashing. But I suggest that you proceed gently. Remember that not all hidden information is a sign of malfeasance or evil intentions. Sometimes the truth is so paradoxical and nuanced, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get it completely out in the open all at once. And sometimes people are motivated to keep things secret mostly because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid to cause pain.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Rob: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read horoscope columns written by many astrologers, and yours is the only one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not prejudiced against at least one of the signs. You really do treat everyone equally. You play no favorites. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly the bone I have to pick with you. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wondering if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a passion deficiency or something. It seems abnormal not to display a hint of bias now and then.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Suspicious Taurus Dear Suspicious: My own birth chart includes elements of both Taurus and Libra. The Taurus part of me has strong feelings and deep passions, while the Libra part of me is fair-minded and well-balanced.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked out a synergistic arrangement that allows me to maintain my equilibrium as I feed my intensity. I recommend this approach to you right now.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): Personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been very smart about making investments. At least in that area of my life, my intuition seems to work in reverse. I often do the precisely wrong thing at the wrong time. Billionaire businessman George Soros, on the other hand, is a genius. When facing a decision about which way to go financially, he says he becomes a jungle animal guided by actual sensations in his body. You Geminis have arrived at a phase when your choices could have long-term effects on your relationship with money. According to my reading of the astrological omens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the potential to be like Soros rather than me. Trust your instincts.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): This will be a smooth, easy and graceful week for youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if, that is, you get yourself out of the way and allow the universe to do its job. Can you do that? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you should be passive or blank. On the contrary, in order for the cosmos to perform its magic, you should be on the lookout for what captivates your imagination and be primed to jump when life says â&#x20AC;&#x153;jump!â&#x20AC;? Be both relaxed and alert; receptive and excitable; surrendered to the truth and in intimate contact with your primal power.

Then the song will sing itself. The dream will interpret itself. The beauty will reveal itself.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Mathematician Charles Babbage (1791â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1871) is considered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;father of the computer.â&#x20AC;? Among his many inventions, he created a mechanical calculator that was a forerunner of the magical device thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so indispensable today. And yet Babbage had other obsessions that were not as useful.

For his own amusement, he once counted all of the panes of glass that had been broken in a factory over a period of 10 months, and investigated the cause of each break. He also spent an inordinate amount of time estimating the statistical probability that the miracles reported in the Bible had actually occurred. I bring this up, Leo, in the hope that you will concentrate on your own equivalent to Babbageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calculator, and not get sidetracked by meditations on broken glass and Biblical miracles.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that emancipates the spirit without giving us control over ourselves is harmful,â&#x20AC;? said Goethe. Luckily, Virgo, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the midst of a process that may emancipate your spirit and give you more control over yourself.

Here are two ways you could cash in on this potential: 1. Brainstorm about a big dream even as you attend to the gritty details of making the dream a reality.

2. Expand your imagination about your tricky situation even as you burn away the illusions you have about your tricky situation. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): Have you heard about the new sport of chess boxing? Two competitors play chess for four minutes, then put on boxing gloves and try to punch each other for three minutes; they continue this rhythm for up to 11 rounds. I suspect youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon

be asked to meet a similar challenge, going back and forth between two contrasting modes. If you treat this challenge as a fun game rather than a crazy-making exertion, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do fine.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): A 13-year-old girl shocked everyone by winning a plowing contest in England. Driving a 12,000-pound tractor and pulling a five-furrow plow, Elly Deacon did a better job than all of the middle-aged male farmers she was competing against. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more remarkable is that she was a newcomer, having had less than a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience in the fine art of tilling the soil with a giant machine.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your role model for the coming week, Scorpio.

Like her, you have the potential to perform wonders, even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a rookie, as you prepare a circumscribed area for future growth.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): I hope that by now you have finished scrabbling along on your hands and knees over burning hot shards of broken glass.

The next and hopefully final phase of your redemptive quest should be less torturous. In this upcoming chapter, the operative metaphor might be assembling a jigsaw puzzle with 200 pieces, all of which are red.

Amazingly enough, you actually have it in you to accomplish this improbable featâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as long as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread out the puzzle pieces all over the burning hot shards of broken glass. Find a nice, clean, quiet place to do your work.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): According to psychologist Carl Jung, one of the most potent influences that our parents have on us is their unlived lives. Whatever dreams they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pursue, whatever longings they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fulfill, are likely to worm their way into our core, often without our conscious awareness.

There they get mixed up with our own dreams and longings, causing us confusion about what we really want. The coming weeks will be a good time for you to get clear about this. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the power to untangle your own deepest, truest desires from the muffled wishes your mommy and daddy deposited in you. /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Awesomeâ&#x20AC;? has become a commonplace word that is used to express gladness about small triumphs and simple pleasures.

Today, for instance, a woman at the local cafe uttered a sweet â&#x20AC;&#x153;Awesome!â&#x20AC;? when someone pointed out to her where she could find an electrical outlet to plug in her laptop. Back in the old days, however, â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesomeâ&#x20AC;? was a portentous term invoked only rarely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aweâ&#x20AC;? referred to an overwhelming feeling of wonder, reverence, admiration, inspiration or even agitation in the face of a sublime or numinous experience. In the coming week, Aquarius, I expect you will experience more than your usual quota of both kinds of awesome.

>7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): According to Leonardo da Vinci, you could magnify the power of your prayers or meditations ten-fold by bathing in purple light.

Back in his time, that was easiest to accomplish by standing near a churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stained glass window that was tinted purple. These days you can get the same effect with the help of a purple light bulb. Alternately, you could simply close your eyes and visualize yourself surrounded by a shimmering purple glow. I recommend this practice for you in the coming days.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent time to do anything and everything to intensify your spiritual power. P.S. Experts in color theory say that purple nurtures the development of the imagination, which would be of great value to you as you tone and firm your devotional impulses.
