You Eat With That Mouth? The 2002 police report that details a threatening voicemail left by Watsonville City Councilman and District 4 Supervisor candidate :b^a^d BVgi^cZo reads like a scene out of Goodfellas. Using a grand total of 15 F-bombs deftly placed among 12 sentences, Martinez makes it clear that one Joe Norris, a former colleague at Indian Motorcycles in Gilroy, ought to tender his resignation. “You don’t quit or they don’t fu**in’ fire you[r] fat, motherfu**ckin’ Nazi motherfu**ckin’ fat ass, I’m going to shoot you,� reads a partial transcript of the voicemail. “I’m gonna blow that motherfu**in’ place up. You got a bullet hole through your heart already.� The phone message led to Martinez being charged with “false report of planting bomb� and “threats to commit a crime resulting in death or great bodily injury,� both misdemeanors. Martinez, however, never answered to a judge. The incident came to light late last month when the Sentinel uncovered an arrest warrant issued in 2002 by the Superior Court of Santa Clara County but never served by the Gilroy police. Martinez will be arraigned on the charges and the warrant June 29 at the courthouse in Morgan Hill. Meanwhile, his campaign for county supe, which sees him in a three-way race with Watsonville Councilman <gZ\ 8Veji against longtime incumbent Idcn 8Vbedh, is struggling to shrug off the scandal. Martinez maintains that the phone call—news of which he claims was leaked to the Sentinel by the Campos campaign— was all in jest. “It was a prank. We used to do this to each other all the time,� says Martinez, who writes on his blog that the president of Indian Motorcycle still calls him up and leaves similar prank messages on a regular basis. Martinez also claims he was “tricked� by the Sentinel into coming in for an endorsement meeting, then confronted about the warrant (a claim Sentinel reporter Donna Jones confirms, although she says he was not tricked and that it was in fact a “legitimate endorsement meeting.�) Martinez continues: “The issue here is: Was there was a warrant for my arrest? Yes. Did I know it? No. I wasn’t aware of it. Had I been aware of it I would have taken care of it. It’s unethical to write that article just before absentee ballots go out. It’s a smear campaign by Campos.� At the Campos camp, the accusations were brushed off. “It didn’t come from me. I had nothing to do with it,� says Campos.

“The first I heard of it was in the paper. Actions speak for themselves and he should be held accountable. I run a good campaign.� Despite the controversy, Martinez says he remains very confident about the election. “I guarantee I’ll win,� he says. —Curtis Cartier

Peace in the Valley South County was awash in warm fuzzies last week with the announcement that the small but pugnacious EV_Vgd"

Hjccn BZhV 8dbbjc^in HZgk^XZh 9^hig^Xi had dropped its two lawsuits against the embattled EV_Vgd KVaaZn LViZg BVcV\ZbZci 6\ZcXn. In a joint statement, PVWMA general manager BVgn 7Vcc^hiZg said the two parties had “buried the hatchet,â€? while Pajaro–Sunny Mesa GM ?dZ GdhV referred to the need to “join handsâ€? with “our friends at PVWMA.â€? At issue was Pajaro–Sunny Mesa’s 2008 lawsuit seeking immediate repayment of an $80-per-acre-foot fee that was ruled illegal in 2007. That ruling stuck the agency with a $13 million repayment obligation to various individuals and districts. Pajaro–Sunny Mesa said it was owed $326,000 of that. In December, settlement talks went awry as Pajaro–Sunny Mesa tripled its demand to nearly $1 million (the extra in the form of interest and legal fees)—a sum agency lawyer Idcn 8dcYdii^ more or less described as obnoxious. “To put it charitably, it seems like a substantial overreach,â€? he told the Sentinel. After the settlement talks collapsed, Pajaro–Sunny Mesa sued again. But now there’s peace in the valley. As we dabbed at our eyes, one statement caught our attention. “We at Pajaro–Sunny Mesa have re-evaluated the lawsuits against the PVWMA,â€? Rosa said. “After much soulsearching we agreed that the best course of action is to settle the litigation and to move forward as a partner with the agency.â€? Soul-searching? Really? Maybe “rĂŠsumĂŠsearchingâ€? is more like it, as in “desperately seeking a new board of directors.â€? In the last 12 months, three of Pajaro–Sunny Mesa’s five board members have been quietly replaced, leaving a less litigious majority in charge. In the end, the agency will pay PajaroSunny Mesa about $400,000, while the district will fork over some $110,000 in unpaid fees to the agency. Call it a peace dividend. —Traci Hukill

FESTIVAL

0G 1C@B7A 1/@B73@

NDOUBTEDLY there was some headscratching when the name “Ben Harper and Relentless7� appeared atop the lineup for this year’s Santa Cruz Blues Festival. A man who’s sold millions of records thanks to reggae-inf lected acoustic hits like “Burn One Down� and “Jah Work,� Harper is often written off as mellow indie it-boy by old-school rock and blues fans raised on B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Buddy Guy. But those people obviously haven’t heard his newest records. On White Lies for Dark Times and the just-released concert recording Live From the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Harper and his newly formed four-piece band, led by longtime friend and guitarist Jason Mozersky, play crushing blues rock that borrows from at least a dozen other acts that have graced the SCBF stage over the years. Santa Cruz Weekly tracked Harper down ahead of his May 29 gig (the festival continues

on May 30) and asked him when, exactly, he became the hottest thing to hit the blues since adultery. “Art at its most sincere requires change and growth, and the blues has always been such a heavy foundation of what I’ve put forward,� says Harper in a voice so pleasantly enunciated it almost sounds like a song itself. “Clearly it was time for me to grow into the specific sound that I achieved through this nucleus. Creatively you can never deny what you’re supposed to be.� History suggests that Harper was always “supposed to be� a musician. What kind of musician has been the question. A native of Claremont, Calif., Harper grew up surrounded by sounds and art through his family’s music store and venue, the now-famous Folk Music Center. With an African American father, a Jewish mother and Russian and Lithuanian grandparents, his house was an artistic and cultural melting pot where

he learned not only how to play instruments but how to build them, fix them and make a living with them. At some point along the way he discovered the lap steel guitar. And though he’s equally famous for his acoustic and electric guitar work, the image of a grimacing Harper perched atop a stool and hammering down on a steel guitar is one that many fans over the years have come to associate with his music. “My connection [to the lap steel guitar] is the kind of connection that you don’t know why it’s there, but your life wouldn’t be the same without it. That was the sound that just informed me on the deepest level of how I was supposed to sound,â€? he says. “And through David Lindley’s playing and Ry Cooter and Lowell George and Duane Allman and all the early Delta cats—Robert Johnson and Blind Willie McTell and Son House—they all helped me find the sound that’s taken ¨ ! my whole life to develop.â€?

Music and Message Harper has never been content to limit himself only to music. A devoted activist who champions immigrant rights, ocean stewardship, freedom of speech and the antiwar movement, he’s been involved with the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org since 2004 and also supports the ecologically minded Surfrider Foundation and Living Lands and Waters, as well as the anti-nuclear power group No Nukes and the food distributing organization Feeding America. His latest endeavor is with the nonprofit group Lift. On its website www.liftcommunities.org, the organization states that its mission is to “combat poverty and expand opportunity for all people in the United States.� With centers in Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., Harper says the

group’s volunteers train people to do everything from filling out government aid applications to finding free medical clinics to putting together rĂŠsumĂŠs and providing actual on-the-job training. “Lift maximizes the potential of the American system,â€? says Harper. “They break down the barriers of intimidation as far as getting what can help people progress, especially in the area of job training. I’ve been donating monetarily and with my time and it will be my focus for the next number of years.â€? On White Lies, Harper immediately dives into politics with the opening track “Number With No Name,â€? a blistering rock jam with an antiwar message. “A casket lined with silver dollars and a number with no name,â€? sings Harper over the distortion-rich yowl of his lap steel. Elsewhere on the album, Harper touches on violence and compassion, ¨

writing in “The Word Suicide,� that “The word suicide is irresponsible/ Still you offered to buy me a gun/ What’s so hard about sympathy?� Still, his work with Relentless7 may be his most apolitical to date, with the majority of the songs showcasing raw rock and blues chops with classic themes on love, hate, sex and emotion— traditional blues fare if ever it existed.

atop the SCBF bill. Though he doesn’t have the strict blues history of a Buddy Guy or a Taj Mahal, Harper has every bit the skill and all the passion it takes to be a respected blues act. Don’t expect it to be his final progression, however, as Harper says he’ll never stop experimenting with his sound.

Full Circle

‘Taj and I traversed the planet together and we find each other at different ends of the bill. The best part about it is I get to be inspired by him beforehand, which will make me play better. It’s also daunting; I mean, he’s really just the baddest cat in the world.’

Those who look closely next Saturday might spot a rather nervous-looking Harper peeking from the side of the stage at the opening acts. Not that he can’t hold his own with any rock musician on tour today, but the Santa Cruz Blues Festival lineup this year not only includes musicians like Buddy Guy that Harper says have influenced him for years, but acts that he knows on a very personal level. Henry Saint Clair Fredericks, a.k.a. Taj Mahal, for example, will be warming up the stage before Harper. The 67year-old bluesman—besides working in bands like the Rising Sons and the Phantom Blues Band—played a big part in Harper’s early success when he invited the younger musician on his tour and later recorded Follow the Drinking Gourd, a blues-and-folk-centered album based on a traditional story about African Americans escaping slavery. To say Harper thinks highly of Taj Mahal would be a gross understatement. “Taj is the number one greatest musician on the planet. Period. End of story,� says Harper matter-of-factly. “Taj and I traversed the planet together and we find each other at different ends of the bill. The best part about it is I get to be inspired by him beforehand, which will make me play better. It’s also daunting; I mean, he’s really just the baddest cat in the world, so it’s like, ‘Good luck.’ We’ll probably come full circle again and see each other at a different point soon.� Harper says he’ll also be watching the Saturday afternoon set of Joseph Arthur, who he calls a “true pioneer.� “Over the course of a decade, Joseph has been the most consistent lyricist,� he says of the young musician known for combining electronic effects with traditional sounds. “Every record, whether it’s the [Lonely] Astronauts or his solo work, he keeps coming up with these chord changes that I think I should be familiar with, but each time it sounds like I’m hearing them for the first time. He’s just always so fresh and exciting.� By nearly all accounts, Ben Harper and Relentless7 have earned the spot

“There’s a dream list that I put in front of myself,â€? he says. “You know, I’d love to play some slide guitar on the next Jay-Z record, I’d love to sing with Crosby, Stills & Nash, I’d love to pen a song with Paul Simon. This is just dreaming out loud, and that can be dangerous. Ask me again when I’m 50 and we’ll see where we are on the list then.â€? BEN HARPER AND RELENTLESS7 play Saturday, May 29, as part of the Santa Cruz Blues Festival, which runs May 29–30 at Aptos Village Park, 100 Aptos Creek Road. Two-day tickets are $140 and single-day tickets are $75 each. For more information and a complete schedule visit www.santa cruzbluesfestival.com EV]¸a 0ZcS ¨ $

ILL WELCH is a tall, gray-goateed music nut known for breaking into a sweat when talking about a good guitar player or horn blower—and for booking around 300 shows every year at his club, Moe’s Alley. But just in case the locals forget about the steady stream of talent running through his club, in his spare time Welch and his staff also throw together Santa Cruz County’s biggest music showcase, the Santa Cruz Blues Festival. Graced by such titanic names as B.B. King, Pinetop Perkins, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles and Bonnie Raitt, the twoday blues and rock bonanza at Aptos Village Park has been going strong since 1993. This year, besides the great Ben Harper and his rocking new band, the Relentless7 (see story, page 11), the festival is headlined Sunday by threetime SCBF topper and Chicago blues legend Buddy Guy. For Welch, Guy represents everything good and right in

the world of Windy City music. “Buddy Guy is a musician that is the who’s who. He’s truly at the top of his game,� says Welch. “He and B.B. King are really the biggest connections to the old world of blues that are left around.� The other eight acts on the weekend’s bill could be—and often are—headliners in their own right. Eric Lindell, the New Orleans soul maestro who never seems far from a Neville, kicks off the weekend early on Saturday with big and bad party blues. Next, as if on cue, Ivan Neville (Aaron’s son and nephew of the “Brothers’�) and his band Dumpstaphunk turn the funk dial up to dangerous heights and bass-heavy lows. With the third slot, the pace slows down a bit as soft-spoken folk and blues indie poet Joseph Arthur croons out his crossroads lament. Finally, around dusk, Henry Saint Clair Fredericks, better known as Taj Mahal, will heat up the stage for Ben Harper with his brand of

;/93 ;G 2/G IT’S LIKE THE Whole Earth Catalog come to life, or a science fair for Burning Man freaks. This weekend Make magazine, that must-read periodical for DIYers everywhere, throws its annual Maker Faire up the road in San Mateo, and the innovations are blowing our little minds. Chockablock with robots, kooky kinetic sculptures and back-to-basics demonstrations (preserved lemons, anyone?), this year’s Faire will also feature custom bike chain-rings, a hand-held theramin for making spooky sci-fi sounds and an old-school gas pump repurposed as a solar-powered charging station. From the Santa Cruz area contingent come a grow-your-own-mushroom kit, an alien abduction lamp that snatches cows from pastures (oh, but yes), solar fireflies that mimic the real thing and the ever-popular Tesla coil from UCSC’s Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics. It throws a 5-foot-long arc of electricity that observers can dance in, as long as they first don the stainless steel suit designed just for the purpose. (Traci Hukill)

THE MAKER FAIRE runs Friday–Saturday, May 22–23, at the San Mateo County Event Center, 1346 Saratoga Dr., San Mateo. Tickets are $25 adult/$15 student/$10 kids at makerfaire.com.

best fictional character to come around yet this century. Swedish actress Noomi Rapace is absolutely incredible in her ability to bring Lisbeth to life. She is a force of nature, pure and simple. Lisbeth is hired to dig up dirt on Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) but ends up helping him investigate the disappearance many years ago of Harriet, heiress to a creepy, feuding family of millionaires. Though it may use the U.S. title, the movie doesn’t shy away from the book’s unrelenting critique of the violence that society allows men to perpetuate against women, and though the scenes with certain unsavory characters may have been cut down in number, they are still surprisingly graphic. Luckily, Lisbeth is womankind’s ultimate revenge fantasy come true—sooner or later, her boots are gonna walk all over absolutely everyone. (SP)

access to his technology (Mickey Rourke being the Bear That Walks Like a Man), a gladhanding competitor (Sam “I’m Always Best in Small Doses� Rockwell) and last but not least the U.S. government. Politically muddled is the worst you can say about it; a power fantasy ought not to lose the idea of which way the power is flowing. Despite a middle section that vamps for time, Jon Favreau is successful in making this an invigorating meld of screwball comedy and robot-fighting action; Scarlett Johansson is most decorative as the agent known elsewhere as Black Widow, and Gwyneth Paltrow shows a nimbleness previously unseen (she has to act fast to get up to Downey’s speed). Broad, playful, well-cut and economically done, this movie isn’t just the first of the summer blockbusters—it’s the model for how they all should work. (RvB)

102 min.) Probably indefensible but far better than the average customary raginggeezer vigilante movie; we’ve seen this movie before but rarely done this crazy, almost halfway to Gaspar NoÊ in its fatefulness, grim urban surfaces and misanthropy. Michael Caine as Harry Brown—a cautious, ill old Londoner with little left to lose—gives us everything Caine ever had in his prime: here is both the decency and the steel beneath it. It’s a happy experience watching Brown slowly decide to do what this movie assures him he needs to do. But Harry Brown isn’t dead from the neck up. Director Daniel Barber disguises the manipulation in the film as best he can. He finds pity in the story. (RvB) 7@=< ;/< (PG-

Dave, a home-brewed costumed vigilante (Aaron Johnson), meets up with real professionals in the field: a Batman and Robin–esque father-anddaughter team (Nicolas Cage, and the excellent Chloe Moretz, who was the wise little girl in (500) Days of Summer). Entertaining in parts, but director Matthew Vaughn has no feeling for the romance and mystery and vigilante lore: the movie has a nasty fan-boy quality, a hermetic focus that doesn’t see anything beyond the purpose of beating bad guys bloody. Cage carries the movie’s ambiguity deftly—he’s enough of a serious comic book reader that he knows it’s a dreadful thing when a father bends his child to revenge. Bloody-minded little girls (thank heaven for

min.) Che (Benjamin Bratt) is an S.F. Muni conductor, a hobby mechanic and an excon, single-parenting his son, Jesse (Jeremy Ray Valdez). What he doesn’t know is that Jesse has a secret life—and a boyfriend who lives in St. Francis Wood. Che’s outright rage at his son’s sexuality is tempered by the attentions of his lovely new neighbor Lena (Erika Alexander). Any positive representation of Aztlan has to be applauded; the scenes

of highly polished lowriders gliding through the Mission make their own statement of beauty and pride. Bratt is the definition of movie-star gravity: a man doing nothing but thinking about stuff and making it look interesting. The film, then, is a celebration of San Francisco. Problem is, San Francisco may be San Francisco, but it is still a city. So some hardto-credit idealization mixes uneasily with real, street-level violence. (And it’s one thing to make a Sundance movie, another to openly filch a scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.) La Mission is a kind of overexemplified view of San Francisco as a city of healing and refuge: a vision of a place where everyone is wounded, and almost everyone

(PG) Amanda Seyfriend vehicle tells the story of an American tourist in Italy who stumbles onto an enchanting letter and decides to learn more about the writer. With Vanessa Redgrave and Gael Garcia Bernal. =13/<A (G; 100 min.) The dearth of narrative thrust and useful informational tidbits are a downside—the creatures swimming by are sometimes identified, sometimes not. They’re arranged by cuteness, color and shape rather than by districts of the ocean, as in the sturdy zonal structure of Earth. Bruno Coulais, the rising composer whose work was key to the success of The Secret of Kells and Coraline, is adept with musical

scoring: the organ is never too heavy and the harp is never too light. You’ll want to miss most of the text; because this is Disney, the anthropomorphic angle is heavy; narrator Pierce Brosnan salutes the ancient wisdom of a sheepshead wrasse, the smoochiness of a walrus and the smiling face of our friend the Great White Shark. Oceans’ cuteness is, you know, for the kids; it’s moments to clutch like a blanket when seeing the bottomless appetites underwater: a horrorsequence of a school of sardines under Scud attack by plummeting cormorants, frigate birds picking off a beachful of baby tortoises as if they were popcorn and a vicious crab/langouste bout that’s as bad as any streetfight.

127 min.) Elegant but staid murder mystery nibbles around the edges of the Dirty War. It’s the “Forget it, Jacobo, it’s Argentinatownâ€? view: the search for justice evaporating in 1974 Buenos Aires, with present-day sequences to frame a reopened investigator. It’s leavened by a fine Mulder and Scully anti-romance between an attractive female criminal investigator for the government, Irene (Soledad Villamil), and her attractively crumbling, Mastroiannish male assistant, Benjamin (Ricardo DarĂ­n). Director Juan Jose

Campanella is a regular director of House M.D. The film is as restless and jokey as a cop procedural show; every scene is on the mark, but there aren’t enough counterpoints to the assured f low of the story. The slick, vengeance-is-mine punch line isn’t very impressive either, though it’s probably why the Academy preferred this to the far better White Ribbon, where the fascist culprits got away. Saying that, though, would be assuming the voters didn’t have eyes for Villamil, an assured 40ish beauty whose performance is the secret in this movie’s success; her covert smile is the film’s signature piece. It won the Oscar for best foreign film. (RvB)

Royal Flush

Corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff is exposed in the documentary ‘Casino Jack’ 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

A

UGEAN STABLES that it was, the Bush regime is going to require years of cleansing. An especially fragrant part of that era is the story of Jack Abramoff and the stillat-large Tom DeLay. The sordid tale is told in Alex Gibney’s documentary Casino Jack and the United States of Money. Abramoff’s scams—influence peddling, double-crossing and slave-labor profiteering—haven’t been thoroughly explained in documentary form yet. It’s appropriate that cinema should be used to prosecute Abramoff. He was an exindustry executive who turned to politics as a way of passing on his right-wing views through more effective means than making movies about them. (Betcha didn’t know that the felon in question produced the commie-bashing 1989 Dolph Lundgren stinker Red Scorpion.) A weightlifter by avocation, a thug by behavior, Abramoff gravitated toward the GOP as a Young Republican organizer. He helped lead Ronald Reagan to the side of the contra “freedom fighters� and the apartheid-financed army of Africa’s Jonas Savimbi. He became a lobbyist, the doorkeeper for former Texas bugzapper Tom DeLay, later the Republican Congressional majority whip. As such, Abramoff became one of the biggest boodlers since Boss Tweed, fattened by money from Jew-hating Malaysian leaders,

tribal casinos, Saipan sweatshops and Indian casinos. The chapters are divided by a ragingly good R&B soundtrack—Nina Simone’s “Sinner Man� is especially on point. The director of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room interviews some of the horrified witnesses to Abramoff ’s career. Subjects include Bay Area Rep. George Miller, who tells a particularly stomach-turning story about the free market at loose in the Marianas Islands. Gibney uses the image of Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as a counterbalance to Abramoff ’s greed. One almost needs this kind of oversimplified patriotism after witnessing such nauseating political cynicism. It’s gratifying to see footage of Abramoff right where he belonged, sweating in front of a congressional hearing and taking more fifths than an alcoholic shoplifter. A movie this cinema heavy deserves one last film reference, though. How about Geoffrey Rush’s line in The Tailor of Panama: “They caught Ali Baba, but they didn’t get the 40 thieves.�

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of May 19 /@73A (March 21–April 19): All of us have gaps in our education. You and I and everyone else alive have dank pockets of ignorance that diminish our humanity and musty pits of naivete that prevent us from seeing truths that are obvious to others. We all lack certain skills that hold us back from being more fulfilled in our chosen fields. That’s the bad news, Aries. The good news is that the gaps in your education will be up for review in the coming weeks—which means that it’ll be an excellent time to make plans to fill them. Here’s a good way to get started: Be aggressive in identifying the things that you don’t even know you don’t know. B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): You don’t have to answer to anybody this week, Taurus. You don’t have to defend yourself, explain yourself, or compromise yourself. I mean, you can do those things if you want to be super extra nice, but there won’t be any hell to pay if you don’t. It’s one of those rare times when you have more power than usual to shape the world in accordance with your vision of what the world should be. I’ll go so far as to say that the world needs you to be very assertive in imposing your will on the f low of events. Just one caveat: Mix a generous dose of compassion in with your authoritative actions. 53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): When Paul McCartney first got the inspiration to write the song “Yesterday,� he had the melody and rhythm but couldn’t get a feel for what the lyrics should be. For a while, as he was waiting for the missing words to pop into his brain, he used nonsense stand-in phrases. The dummy version of the first line was “Scrambled eggs, oh my dear, you have such lovely legs.� This approach could be useful for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. As you create a fresh approach or novel departure in your own life, you might want to show the patience McCartney did. Be willing to keep moving ahead even though you don’t have the full revelation quite yet.

1/<13@ ( June 21–July 22): I suspect you’re going to feel a bit constrained in the coming weeks, Cancerian—maybe even imprisoned. I suggest you make the best of it. Rather than feeling sorry for yourself and spiraling down into a dark night of the soul, try this: Imagine that you’re a resourceful hermit who’s temporarily under house arrest in an elegant chalet with all the amenities. Regard this “incarceration� as a chance to start work on a masterpiece, or upgrade your meditation practice, or read a book you’ve needed an excuse to lose yourself in. Believe it or not, your “deprivation� could be one of the best things that has happened to you in a while. :3= (July 23–Aug. 22): I won’t be surprised if people begin to compete for your attention. There may even be some pushing and shoving as they jostle to get closer to you. At the very least, you can expect a f lurry of requests for your time and energy. What’s this all about? Well, your worth seems to be rising. Either your usefulness is f lat-out increasing or else those who’ve underestimated you in the past are finally tuning in to what they’ve been missing. So here’s my question and concern: Will you get so seduced by what everyone asks you to give them that you lose sight of what you really want to give them? I suspect there will be a difference. D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): I’m not saying that you should create a superhero identity for yourself and embark on a campaign to combat injustice. But if you’ve ever wondered whether the life of a costumed crusader is right for you, it’s an excellent time to experiment. Your courage will be expanding in the coming weeks. Your craving for adventure will be strong, too. Even more importantly, your hunger to do good deeds that reach beyond your own selfinterest will be growing. Interested? Check out the Superhero Supply website to get yourself operational. It’s at www.superherosupplies.com.

:70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): All 26 of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ stories about Tarzan are set in Africa, but he never once visited that continent. And Bram Stoker didn’t feel the need to travel to the Transylvanian region of Romania in order to write about it in his novel Dracula. But I don’t recommend this approach to you in the coming weeks, Libra. If you want to cultivate something new in your life by drawing on an exotic inf luence, I think you should immerse yourself in that exotic inf luence, at least for a while. If you want to tap into the inspiration

available through an unfamiliar source, you need to actually be in the presence of that unfamiliar source.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Why would you choose this bright, sunny moment to descend into the dark places and explore the fermenting mysteries? What renegade impulse would move you to turn away from the predictable pleasures and easy solutions, and instead go off in quest of more complex joys and wilder answers? Here’s what I have to say about that: I think you long to be free of transitory wishes and f leeting dreams for a while so that you can get back into alignment with your deeper purposes. You need to take a break from the simple obsessions of your grayish, poker-faced ego, and re-attune yourself to the call of your freaky, evergreen soul.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Sufi holy man Ibn ’Ata Allah was speaking about prayer when he said the following: “If you make intense supplication and the timing of the answer is delayed, do not despair of it. His reply to you is guaranteed; but in the way He chooses, not the way you choose, and at the moment He desires, not the moment you desire.� While I don’t claim to be able to perfectly decipher the will of the divine, my astrological research suggests that you will soon get a definitive answer to a question you’ve been asking for a long time. It may come softly and quietly, though, and from a direction you don’t expect, and with a nuance or two that’ll test your ref lexes. 1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): “Is Fast Food Too Tempting?� read a headline in The Week magazine. The accompanying article discussed whether people have the right to blame and even sue McDonald’s and Burger King for their health problems. In my opinion, we might as well add other allegedly appealing poisons to the discussion. “Is heroin too tempting?� “Is cheating on your lover or spouse too tempting?� “Is watching TV five hours a day too tempting?� I hope you’re seeing where I’m going with this, Capricorn. The coming weeks will be a good time to take personal responsibility for any supposedly fun activity you’re doing that warps your character or saps your energy. It’s prime time to end your relationship with stuff that’s bad for you.

/?C/@7CA ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): “The mind loves order, the heart loves chaos, and the gut loves action,� says my astrological colleague Antero Alli. The ideal situation is to honor each of these needs, keeping them in a dynamic balance. But now and then, it’s healthy to emphasize one over the other two. According to my astrological analysis, you’re entering one of those times when the heart’s longing for chaos should get top priority. But if you do choose to go this way, please promise me one thing: Do your best to tilt toward the fascinating, rejuvenating kind of chaos and tilt away from the disorienting, demoralizing kind. >7A13A (Feb. 19–March 20): When people are truly dehydrated, the impulse that tells them they’re thirsty shuts down. That’s why they may not know they’re suffering from a lack of water. In a metaphorically similar way, Pisces, you have been deprived so long of a certain kind of emotional sustenance that you don’t realize what you’re missing. See if you can find out what it is, and then make measured (nondesperate!) plans to get a big, strong inf lux of it. The cosmic rhythms will be on your side in this effort!

THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE The cacophony of the over-loud television in the next condo was keeping Clara awake, again. Come on, she thought, it’s 2 am! She would have to confront her neighbor in the morning; this endless sleepless situation was driving her crazy. Add to that the quarreling of the young couple on the other side who chose the dinner hour each evening to vent their frustrations with each other. Clara was about ready to sell her place after just having moved in two months ago. Then, she had been so excited and happy to buy her first home after years of saving and careful planning. She had attended a home owners meeting last month, but the elected officers ignored her complaints and she felt isolated and detached from the others and very out of sorts. As a single woman, she had hoped to at least make a few acquaintances in her complex or at least enjoy living in a pleasant atmosphere. Contrast this with an intentional, cohousing environment. Instead of having strangers all around you, problems that seem irresolvable and a sense of not belonging, you start by meeting the community you want and choose to live with. You meet them first over a meal, where you observe how the community relates to each other and see how each member is respected and listened to. You attend a monthly business meeting where you see how the community is organized, who is taking care of what, you choose a committee to join. It could involve maintenance, gardening, bookkeeping, wherever you want to contribute, because you are a group working together, you all own the common areas together, you share ideas and all aspects for the neighborhood you have chosen to join. Which sounds better? You are invited to come to an orientation/Open House at the New Brighton Cohousing Community on Sunday May 23, 2010 from 1-4pm and see for yourself. The community has one home for sale, a 2 bedroom 2 bath, in excellent condition at the amazing price of $287,000. You also get, good neighbors, friends, a community garden, a community meeting house, delicious meals shared twice weekly, a say in your community, a playground, and all in a great location in Aptos by the corner of Park Ave. and Soquel Ave, 6020 Soquel Drive near Cabrillo College, beaches, the village of Capitola and nearby freeway access. Come for fun, videos, food and live music. Kids are welcome.
