Rhapsodies Ain’t It Awful

Combatting those Debbie Downers BY N. L. GALLOP

E

ver notice that when a person at a pleasant gathering comes up with bad news, another person tries to top that with a worse story? Soon a third person comes up with a chilling story, and by the time the fourth person gets going, the warm glow of the gathering is gone.

It’s sort of like camping when you were a kid. Just as you settled down in your sleeping bag thinking of nothing more disturbing than frogs croaking, another kid says, “You’re gonna die sometime. Did you ever think of that?” Yeah, you’d thought of that, but not recently. Dang. Nobody likes a Pollyanna, but these days, if you’re not part of the 1 percent, you’ve probably got a full plate and some serious concerns of your own that you’d like to put aside when you get together with your friends. Well, try this. After the first person finishes his “ain’t it awful” story, follow it with a feel-good story. “Hey, guys, my sister drove off with her purse on top of her car, and it fell off along Highway 12 near Calistoga Road. She drove up and down the highway looking for it but finally gave up and drove home. Would you believe it—there was her purse, hanging on the doorknob. With all the money in it and no note.” Here’s another true story from my family. “Hey you guys, my son was driving a big rig truck and it overturned as he was making a freeway exit. A bus was coming along the freeway, and a nurse riding in the bus asked the driver to stop and let her out. The bus drove on, and the nurse ran over to my son and gave him first aid.” In fact, I hope the woman behind me in the white SUV reads this. Last week I was on a two-lane road near Occidental when I pulled over to let her SUV go by. She pulled up alongside of me, and I figured I’d be hearing a blast of four-letter words. “Are you OK?” she asked. N. L. Gallop is a writer and budding playwright living in Santa Rosa.

An Alternative to the Norm

Rest in Peace, Ranger Rick

I’m glad to see you covering the growing movement of worker-owner businesses in our area (“By the People,” Feb. 22). This is a muchneeded alternative to what is seen as the “norm,” which is working for the business owner who’s actually focused on the stockholders of the business. That focus is on the bottom line, and if that bottom line doesn’t continue to improve, then the stockholder/investor moves on with his capital. To help improve that bottom line, jobs have been sent overseas and businesses have consolidated, displacing wage earners.

As a former Camp Meekerite and longtime acquaintance and fan of Ranger Rick, I couldn’t have possibly said it better myself (“Final Frontier,” Feb. 22). Thank you for this eloquent and highly accurate picture of the man so many of us loved.

Over the past several decades, the “worker bees” have watched their salaries stagnate as their workloads have increased to accommodate the layoffs of fellow employees. More and more of the earnings go to those who oversee the businesses in inflated salaries and obscene bonuses. Catholic Social Teachings has offered an alternative path that Father Arizmendi studied and taught to his students in Mondragon, Spain. His students founded the first factory in the mid-’40s, making small cook stoves. Since then, the cooperative movement has grown to include other factories, banks, schools, housing, markets, hospitals—a whole community based on the worker-owner concept. The Emilia Romagna region of northern Italy is another community that has been recognized as an example of a successful cooperative economy. The region has developed over time, and now, one-third of the region’s GDP is derived from cooperative enterprises. I encourage your readers to support this movement and see it as a clear alternative to what has been seen as the only source of employment. The future generations deserve better than what Wall Street has to offer.

I sailed into Bodega Bay in 1991 from my home port of Point Pleasant, N.J., took my ‘58 Harley off the boat and commenced to explore Western Sonoma County. The first locals that I met were Evelyn at the Casino in Bodega and then Rick at the Union Hotel. My meeting him was very much like Frank Dice’s description. After living for a while on the river in Forestville, then Santa Rosa, and with many encounters with this rascal, I finally moved to the Bay Area, losing touch with my favorite magical place, Occidental. I moved back to Santa Rosa a couple years ago, and was pleasantly surprised to see Ranger Rick directing traffic in “downtown” Occidental. I hadn’t seen Rick in roughly 15 years, and dammit if he not only recognized me, but shared a lot of the conversations we had long before. Since then, I’ve moved back to the Jersey Shore, and I wish I could make the memorial but can’t. The last time I saw Rick, I was hanging out at Terry Anne’s shop the Flying Turtle, and Ranger Rick says to me, “Hey, here comes ‘the man,’” just as Tom Waits walked by with his family. How appropriate!

RICHARD DEANGELIS Spring Lake Heights, N.J. Editor’s Note: A memorial for Ranger Rick takes place on Saturday, March 3, at St. Philip’s Church in Occidental. Longtime Camp Meeker resident Seth Murchinson presides, Nick Gravenites plays music and Gerard Nebesky cooks up his famous paella. A finer tribute couldn’t have been planned, frankly. It runs from 11am to 1pm at St. Philip’s. 3730 Bohemian Hwy., Occidental.

Councilman Mike Healy is a supporter of this giant shopping center project, and not too long ago I saw him talking to Bill Friedman on the street in downtown Petaluma. Surprise! Now Friedman’s shows up again as a tenant to get public support for another big-box project. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how the political manipulation works here.

Paper THE

ANY TIME OF THE DAY Kicking women out of congressional hearings on contraception represents a new

low—or is it really so new?

A Coming War? The overreach of the far right isn’t just now entering our pants—it’s always been there BY SADY DOYLE

A

fter a year of coordinated assaults on Planned Parenthood, “personhood” initiatives that stood to make oral contraceptives illegal and other attacks on protected sex, we have come to a bizarre moment. The war has been declared, the battle lines are drawn; “not

getting pregnant” is the new abortion. Welcome to the war on contraception. The Catholic Church’s fight to forbid insurance-provided birth control to employees of religious organizations—and the all-male panel on a House Oversight Committee hearing on contraception—has officially codified this war. But in the midst of all this, a few questions

stand out; namely, how is it in a country where 99 percent of women have used birth control that we are fighting over whether people should have access to contraceptives? How did a position this extreme and alienated from the will of the people enter the mainstream political conversation? “People are talking about, ‘Oh, the war on contraception has begun.’ It hasn’t begun,” author

Christina Page says. “What’s begun is that we finally have the agenda in its full bloom in Congress.” In her book How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America, Page argues that right-wing attacks on abortion are merely cover for a far more radical agenda. The real target of organized anti-choicers, she says, is not abortion. Abortion is simply the divisive, emotional topic used to mobilize grassroots support. The real target of the organized anti-choice movement has always been birth control. Page says she’s been recommending since 2008 that reporters ask all GOP candidates about their position on contraception. “The media wasn’t willing,” she says, “because they thought asking made them look foolish.” Fast-forward to the current day, and all current Republican presidential candidates have publicly opposed access to contraceptives. It’s worth noting how very far from the mainstream the roots of the anti-contraception movement are. Page mentions QuiverFull, a radical religious movement aligned with the Christian Patriarchy Movement (yes, they actually call themselves the Patriarchy Movement). QuiverFull believes that children are a blessing, and that to refuse such a blessing under any circumstances, in any way or for any reason, is a sin. Oh—and also that true believers will impregnate their wives as many times as humanly possible, in order to raise an “army” and eventually rule the United States. In the grand scheme of wacky cult strategies for world domination, this one’s fairly practical: they plan to overcome through sheer numbers. But examining the Patriarchy Movement is useful to understanding what it would look like if we lose the war on contraception. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the most highprofile representatives of the movement (who star on a reality show, 19 Kids and Counting), recently tried for their 20th child. Women in the movement are

Some might argue against a Women’s History Month—or a Black History Month, for that matter—because all genders and races should be celebrated all 12 months in the year. Right? But when Chris Brown is given center stage at the Grammys after beating the living crap out of Rihanna, and when an all-male congressional panel is allowed to deliberate on contraception, it’s obvious we’re still waiting for that celebration to happen. In 1978, a group in Sonoma County felt the same way, thus initiating a “Women’s History Weekâ€? to coincide with International Women’s Day on March 8. Word spread, and in 1987 Congress ofďŹ cially declared March Women’s History Month. The Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women continues to honor that local imperative. This year’s honorees are health advocate Elia Solar, 90year-old National Organization for Women member Mary West and Women’s Cancer Awareness Group founder Lydia Zipp. The Women’s History Luncheon and Scholarship Fundraiser honors Sen. Pat Wiggins and National Women’s History Project cofounder Molly Murphy MacGregor on Sunday, March 11 at Sally Tomatoes restaurant in Rohnert Park; Roller Girls, 17-plus women artists, DJs and live music round out a KWTF International Women’s Day celebration on Saturday, March 10 at the Arlene Francis Center in Santa Rosa. Sonoma State University honors Women’s History Month with a performance by Jessica Lynn Johnson (above) of Oblivious to Everyone, Johnson’s solo show about stereotypes and pressures in American media, on March 19, followed later in the week by Miss Representation, Jennifer SiebelNewsom’s documentary on media portrayals of women and girls (Wednesday, March 21; Ives Hall; 7pm).—Leilani Clark

kept from working not only by religious rhetoric but by the sheer physical burden of cycling rapidly through pregnancy and childbirth while bearing sole responsibility for massive amounts of domestic work. Daughters are enlisted early to assist, and like their mothers, they work full-time. Of course, denying women education and income and putting them in a near perpetual state of physical vulnerability makes them dependent on men. Which is the point. As Libby Anne, a woman raised in the Christian Patriarchy Movement, puts it, “A woman is always under male authority: ďŹ rst her father, then her husband and perhaps, someday, her son.â€? Anti-contraception politicians are not about to frame their policies in such stark terms. (Santorum has come close, claiming that contraception is “a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.â€?) Ann Neumann, editor of The Revealer, says the agenda has emerged from a complicated set of alliances—the political heft of the Catholic Church allied with the cultural heft of evangelical Christianity; social conservatives allied with ďŹ scal conservatives; attacks on women allied with attacks on publicly funded healthcare—that pursue goals largely through bait and switch. “Fiscal conservatives have an interest in leveraging religion talk to their anti-entitlements objectives,â€? Neumann told me. “If you push a free-enterprise Republican on the cost savings of free contraception, their second line of defense will be the moral one. In other words, free-enterprise folks are necessary to this mix in that they cover for the social conservatives.â€? This approach works for attacks on reproductive healthcare, Neumann notes, in a way that wouldn’t work for other medical issues, simply because of whom it affects. “Contraception and any other reproductive care,â€? she says, speaking on that which affects 100 percent of the world’s population, “has been ghettoized as women’s.â€?

Ruthless Pioneers Oil and gas industry fills funding gap, congressional pockets BY JULIANE POIRIER

W

hile many of us have been sending letters asking that walking-biking trails get some funding in the new Highway bill, I am sickened to learn where the funding may come from: Congress is selling the wilderness.

To ďŹ nalize a transportation package held up by a funding gap, Congress needs to scrape up the extra $14 billion needed—for essentials including roads and bridges—because the existing pot of Highway Trust Fund money is short. Of the three bills that propose how to ďŹ ll the gap, HR 3408, aka the PIONEERS Act, is antienvironmental. I was suspicious of a bill named after some noble, ďŹ ctionalized Americans dead long enough to be co-opted by politicians. After a glance at the MapLight report about the PIONEERS Act, my suspicions were conďŹ rmed.

With PIONEERS, the GOP is pushing drilling in Alaska as a means to ďŹ ll the funding gap, including trespassing into Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The act provides a free pass to oiland gas-drilling corporations. But as wildlife is sacriďŹ ced on the altar of fossil fuels, only a measly $4.3 billion can be sucked out of that wilderness in a decade. So they threw permitting of the Keystone XL Pipeline into this bill as well. There were futile attempts to curb the potentially devastating environmental impacts of the PIONEERS Act—provisions to protect sensitive coastline areas, including that of California—but they were a no-go. Why would the GOP support that? Ed Markey, D-Mass., attempted to belatedly correct the accidentally obtained royalty-free drilling leases oil companies bagged in the 1990s, and make them pay pastdue royalties before going on to ruin more pristine natural areas, but the GOP was ďŹ rm in representing oil and gas interests. After all, they’d been well-paid to sell the wilderness. The PIONEERS Act passed by a 237 to 187 vote (21 Democrats voted yes and 21 Republicans voted no). According to campaigncontribution data reported by the Center for Responsive Politics, the Republican sponsor of the PIONEERS Act, Congressman Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., received $39,750 in contributions from the oil and gas industry in the last three years. (The Koch brothers gift him, too.) Lamborn gets more money from that industry than all the others that support him, including war contractors. According to the MapLight analysis, industry supporters of the bill, including multinational producers, gave 7.6 times as much to House members who voted yes on the bill, an average of $44,433 compared to the $5,840 average given to those who voted no. For more, see www.maplight.org.

MAIN STREET MASHUP Steven Peyer and Jamilah Nixon bring Italian and South Asian street food together in Sebastopol.

Forked & Sticked Sebastopol’s Forchetta/Bastoni a unique pairing BY STETT HOLBROOK

S

ebastopol’s threemonth-old Forchetta/ Bastoni (“Forks/ Sticks” in Italian) serves both Italian food (the fork) and South Asian street food (the stick). The dual restaurant concept sounds gimmicky, but the stylishly remodeled dining room, lively cocktail program and menu has won me over, even if the food can be uneven.

The restaurant is a partnership between husband-and-wife team Steven Peyer and Jamilah Nixon, and Patrick Wynhoff. Nixon oversees the Asian side, and Peyer runs the Italian side. Wynhoff serves as general manager for the whole operation. The Asian side consists of a bar and lounge outfitted with old Thai license plates and other Southeast Asian bric-a-brac. There’s also a hideaway lounge upstairs with bright colors, old Thai movie posters and low-slung seating

made from shipping pallets. The Italian side occupies most of the space. Previous occupant Pizzavino 707 had a hard time making the barnish dining room feel intimate, but the new owners have warmed the place with a chandelier fabricated from random bits of kitchen implements and window frames that hang above the open kitchen. Service on either side of the restaurant is uniformly good. Servers know the menu well and are well synched. The Bastoni menu is

small, including banh mi, noodles, pork meat balls, chicken wings, and bowls of curried tofu or chicken. The banh mi sandwich is the clear star. The ciabatta roll from Sebastopol’s Village Bakery is loaded with your choice of tofu ($10), housemade pâté ($12), chicken or meatballs ($12). Pickled vegetables, cilantro and spicy mayonnaise round out this great sandwich. Likewise, the coconut-milk-based curry ($12) is good, as are the meatballs and wings (both $12). The wet noodles fall short. The noodles themselves are fresh and springy, and the toppings of tofu ($10), shredded chicken or pork meatballs (both $12) are fine, but it’s the watery broth that drags the bowl down. It did get better over the course of my visits, and hopefully will continue to improve. The Italian side has a deeper menu and is the better bet. The thin crust, wood-fired pizzas are superb, blistered and chewy and soft in all the right places. I loved the “soul greens” ($9), a changing lineup of sautéed veggies. On my visits, it was ruffled Brussels sprouts sautéed with garlic, bacon and red pepper flakes. The antipasto plate ($18) is a winner, too. Mine included a housemade salumi, local cheeses, roasted winter vegetables and fat olives. Risotto seldom does much for me, but here, made with wild hedgehog mushroom and nettles ($18), it was outstanding, each ingredient shining through to make a delicious whole. The only letdown was the agnolotti, little raviolis stuffed with lamb and goat cheese ($17). The dish came strikingly unadorned, with just a dribble of pan juices. While the bar serves the whole restaurant, it’s geared to the Asian side, making delicious cocktails like Il Pilota—Hendrick’s gin, St. Germain liqueur, lime and kaffir lime leaf ($10). Forchetta/Bastoni is still young and getting its footing, but already it’s added some flash and style to Sebastopol’s dining scene. Forchetta/Bastoni, 6949 Sebastopol Ave., Sebastopol. 707.829.9500.

SMALL BITES

Going Gaga The Sonoma Valley Museum of Art has a new installation in the LaHaye Gallery, and it is delicious. Many folks will recognize the art by its wonderful balance and rich aroma, created by the recognizable four-cup drip bar from the Santa Rosa Saturday farmers market, with the artist standing behind it every weekday. “My preference is straight-up drip,â€? says Gary Jimmerson of Gaga Cafe. (He swears there’s no relation to the pop singer.) “But if it’s an espresso drink, I like a cappuccino.â€? Along with the drinks, made with Santa Rosa’s Ecco Caffè coffee beans, there’s the atmosphere; tea kettles burst with flowers on Parisian-style sidewalk tables, and windows let in energizing sunlight to the 450-squarefoot space just off the square to create a fitting ambiance for a museum of fine art. Each drink is made to order, no air pots or warmers in sight. Jimmerson’s pour-over coffee is fresher than regular drip and reveals the character of the coffee in a unique way. It’s also for more than just museum patrons; the cafe opens to the street, and hosts rotating art installations. Jimmerson opened last week—his first permanent installation. Find Gaga Cafe at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, 551 Broadway, Sonoma. Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm. 707.939.7862.—Nicolas Grizzle

Göpfrich Winery

P

urple teeth and broad smiles are all part of the winetasting experience, but the smiles come to a halt when Ray Göpfrich reveals that he’s an accomplished dentist. Have no worries, says Göpfrich—he won’t suggest braces or a new crown. In fact, he’ll gladly help to stain those teeth purple. That’s his new job.

Göpfrich isn’t the first dentist to retire to a life in the vineyards, but he did know darn well what he was getting into. “I had a realistic approach,” he says, “after growing up around agriculture.” Years ago, having gleaned all he could about picking apples on his family’s Pennsylvania farm, he sought out a career in dentistry, eventually becoming a university instructor and managing a private practice. But when he settled down on West Dry Creek Road, he didn’t slow down; Göpfrich farms 20 acres and produces 500 cases of wine mainly by himself, with one assistant. “If you like what you do,” he says about both pulling teeth and picking grapes, “it’s not really work.” Clad in plaid shirt and vest, measured in speech but affable, Göpfrich looks every bit the Yankee farmer as he shows visitors on a “35-second tour” through a small, tidy cellar. When he apologizes that it’s a little disorganized at the moment (it isn’t), it must be a giveaway of his German heritage. Referring to the un-Anglicized spelling of his name, his wine club is called the “Umlaut Club.” During one winery event, contestants were invited to create versions of the “hidden umlaut” prints displayed in the tasting room today (see above). “Some showed talent,” says Göpfrich; “Some were a little raunchy.” This is the only Dry Creek Valley winery that also sells Riesling, Silvaner and Huxelrebe, made in Rheinhessen, Germany, by family friends. For his part, Göpfrich says that he aims to make wines that will complement his supper, not overwhelm it. Accordingly, his 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon ($38) is light of roasted oak and red of fresh, berry fruit, and finishes with a refreshing, astringent smack. Smoky and feral, with black cherry and chocolate creeping up the palate, the 2009 Estate Syrah ($30) leaves nothing of the sappiness of overblown Syrah. A blend of Syrah and Cab, the 2009 Estate Cuvée ($32) is as fun to chew on as a chocolate-cherry bonbon, but finishes agreeably dry. Göpfrich wraps up the tasting with the sweeter German wines. The Klemmer Family’s 2009 Rheinhessen Riesling Spätlese ($18) has pretty, floral aromas of honeysuckle, and buzzes like a bee in between pears-in-juice sweetness and leavening acidity. And it just might help clean up those purple teeth. Göpfrich Winery, 7462 West Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg. Tasting by appointment only, Saturdays. 707.433.1645. —James Knight

Breaking Point Talking with the filmmakers of ‘Cold,’ Banff’s grand prize winner, on life, art and suffering BY ERIC JOHNSON

A

s the camera pans away from the glare of the rising sun, jagged white-and-blue ice peaks fill the screen. The tallest catches the first pink light of dawn. In the foreground, we see a climber encased in his red down survival spacesuit. He is walking very, very slowly, inching up a steep knife-edge ridge toward us. As the scene shifts to slow motion, we can see that he is stumbling. Watching that scene from the film Cold at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in November, I nearly choked with dread. Ten minutes into the film, I had already come to care about this climber and his two partners, who, alone in the world’s highest wilderness, were trying to do one of the most difficult things any human has done. Their quest had become an epic metaphor, and the man at the center of the story was my new hero (or antihero). Cold, the grand prize winner at the Banff Mountain Film Festival, which arrives in Larkspur this weekend, documents an expedition on Gasherbrum II in the Pakistani Himalayas, the first successful winter ascent of an 8,000-meter (26,246foot) mountain by an American. It succeeds as an adventure flick, and more so as a powerfully moving selfportrait of the young Boulder-based climber and photographer Cory Richards, who shot the film, which was brilliantly directed and edited by Anson Fogel. Marshalling a combination of artistic courage and cheerful punk-

rock belligerence, these two men, along with the writer, Kelly Cordes, have created an astonishing 20-minute masterpiece that has been wowing audiences and sweeping festivals all winter long. Cold brings the adventure documentary into new territory that seems perfectly suited to its two subjects: elite alpinism and the soul of a mountaineer. Just as the new breed of pure alpinists scorn the armies of porters and the boatloads of gear that characterize modern “siege” mountaineering (shunning even supplemental oxygen), Cold steers clear of the macho glamour that too often surrounds the adventure sports scene. It feels raw, real and truer than any outdoor film I’ve seen. The film is almost halfway over by the time we get that first full-blown panoramic alpine shot. Prior to that, we meet Richards and his fellow climbers, Simone Moro of Italy and Denis Urubko of Kazakhstan (both of whom are superstars in mountaineer-worshipping Europe), in a series of scenes that illustrate the grueling and human-sized— rather than the heroic or grandiose— aspect of the enterprise. We are with the men inside their dark tent, where the walls have iced over and spindrift crystals swirl about while Moro coughs incessantly. And later we’re inside a bright tent as the two veteran mountaineers engage in a comical dialogue made more charming by their quirky and creative command of the English language. But mostly, we are inside Cory Richards’ head as he battles death and demons. Trudging steeply up one gorgeously photographed

steep grade after another, Richards engages in a straightforwardly poetic inner monologue, spoken over a stunning soundtrack by Academy Award–winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla (Babel, Brokeback Mountain): “I love the mountains. Grew up in them, climbing with my dad. He gave me this. But I was such a fuckup. Until climbing. “Beautiful. Spectacular. Free. But it’s just . . . so . . . cold. “What the fuck am I doing here?” As the days tick by and the men climb, the temperature drops into the low minus-40s. When they summit, Moro is curled in a ball, coughing and puking into the snow. And the real ordeal hasn’t even begun.

Beauty & Terror Talking about their film in a cafe at the Banff Centre the afternoon before the film was awarded the grand prize, Richards and Fogel seemed to be still struggling to understand this thing they had created together. Cold’s triumphant screening at Banff occurred fewer than nine months after the expedition it documents. Its creation was apparently a flurry of networking and partying followed by a creative marathon. It began with an email from a friend. While still in Pakistan, Richards had uploaded some raw footage to a blog maintained by the North Face, the expedition’s sponsor. That could very well have been the end of it; Richards was there primarily as a still photographer to document the expedition, and the video footage was bonus. But the posts blew up, drawing upwards of 30,000

views. Julie Kennedy, founder of Climbing magazine and the 5 Point Film Festival, saw some footage of a particularly riveting moment of grief and terror, and forwarded a link to Fogel. ‘“There’s something incredible here,’” Fogel recalls thinking. “But immediately I thought, ‘This needs to be something different.’ Because—I’m not a mountaineering filmmaker; I just want to make films about the human condition. I saw these clips and was just immediately like, ‘Wow, there’s something really true and real and essential going on there.’ And kind of dark, which appeals to me too.” When the two men met, they quickly determined that this thing was going to happen. “A film can only be made if there’s lots of trust between the filmmaker and the subject,” Fogel says. So he was blunt: “I said, ‘You’re going to have to bare your soul onscreen. And it’s not going to make you look like a hero.’” That was just fine with Richards, who, incidentally, has since been named a 2012 Explorer of the Year by National Geographic. “I’m always horrified when I go climbing,” he says. “I spend the entire two months scared. You go through icefall and see all these huge pieces of ice that came down since the last time you were there. And you know that it could happen again at any second. “You’re exhausted. You’re dehydrated. You’ve got nothing left so you do something stupid. Or you’re just too tired to do something smart. Like—on your down suit, there are these little eyelets that you fasten your mitten to so you won’t lose it. And you forget to fasten it. Then you reach down to tie your boot or something, and your mitten falls out of your coat where you stuffed it and it blows away. You’re probably going to die. “It’s fucking terrifying. And I really believe all alpinists experience that doubt and fear, and the experience of working through it. And you leave base

Bottoming Out at 8k Richards’ ability to abide suffering is evident from the first frame of Cold to the last. But it is the veteran Simone Moro, a longtime hero of Richards, who is clearly in the worst kind of hurt. We learn in an early scene that the trio has decided to take advantage of a two-day break from winter storms to reach the peak. That means breaking camp before they’ve been able to fully acclimate

to the altitude. And it means racing the weather up the mountain. “We were going at a pace that was sort of a gamble,” Richards concedes, then adds, “a very big gamble.” For Moro, the leader of the expedition, the result was a bad altitude cough, a condition that alpinists frequently face. “He’d get up in the morning and cough a lot,” Richards recalls, “and he was coughing blood. His lungs were just raw. He suffers more than anybody.” Richards addresses the situation matter-of-factly in the film: “In the morning, Simone pukes, and we all piss so dark it looks like blood. The storm rages harder. We pack up our gear and work our way down.” For Fogel, the ordeal came later. Having gotten all of the raw footage from Richards, he had to race to get it produced in time for showing at the 5 Point Festival, which takes place in his hometown. “I logged all the video in three 16-hour days,” he says, groaning from the memory. He then had less than two months to cut and mix the whole thing. Sitting in Banff six months later, before Cold won the biggest of its string of awards, both men are adamant that the other deserves the lion’s share of the credit for its success. Richards is proudest that Moro, his friend and onetime idol, likes the finished product: “Simone said, ‘It’s the first time I’ve ever seen an honest movie about mountaineering.’” But he insists that it’s Fogel’s movie. “I think what you did is you made a new kind of mountaineering film,” he tells his colleague. “You’ve changed the way people will look at mountaineering films.” ‘Cold’ (NR; 19 min.) screens Tuesday, March 6, as part of the Banff Film Festival. The festival runs Monday– Tuesday, March 5–6, at the Lark Theatre. 549 Magnolia Ave., Larkspur. 7pm. $17–$20. 415.927.1938.

Running Dry ‘Chasing Water’ tells the tale of the once mighty Colorado River BY TRACI HUKILL

I

n a sense, photographer Pete McBride has been preparing to make Chasing Water all his life. Raised on a cattle ranch in central Colorado, he grew up working hay fields irrigated by the snowmelt that carved the Grand Canyon and slaked the thirst of the Southwest.

“I often used to think about water,” he says in the film. “I wondered how much went into our fields and how much returned to the creek. . . . I wondered how long it would take irrigation water to reach the sea.” Later, as a photographer for National Geographic, Outside and Men’s Journal, McBride traveled to some of the world’s most exotic locales—often, as it happened, shooting stories that related in some way to water. His 18-minute documentary, judged the Best Short Mountain Film of the 2011 Banff Film Festival and screening March 6 in Larkspur, didn’t begin as a film at all. “This started as a magazine assignment for the nowdefunct National Geographic Adventure,” McBride explains. The original idea was to shoot writer Jonathan Waterman’s paddling trip down the length of the Colorado River, one of the most heavily diverted waterways in the world. “Then I was like, ‘This is too dear to my heart,’ and I thought maybe we could get a book, and then

sponsors showed up.” In fact, two books resulted from the project—Waterman’s Running Dry and the McBride/ Waterman coffee-table stunner The Colorado River: Flowing Through Conflict. While taking aerial footage for the book from the cockpit of his father’s plane, McBride shot some HD video, and the idea for a film took hold. McBride also connected with fellow Coloradoan and film editor Anson Fogal, part of the team behind Cold. Fogel got him busy shooting more footage and insisted on a key approach. “Anson really pushed me: ‘You have to be in your own film,’” McBride says. “I said, ‘No way. Gives me the heebie-jeebies. I’ll be a voice. I’ll be a narrator.’ He helped drive that.” McBride’s narration provides the link between individual human experience and the grandeur of the subject matter. Shot largely from overhead, Chasing Water follows the river’s progression as it flows southwest from its mountain headwaters through the Grand Canyon and Southern California toward its ignominious end in the Mexican desert, drained by the dishwashers and toilets of 30 million people and 3.5 million acres of farmland. The vantage point gives the piece a cerebral aspect: there’s nothing like an aerial view to show the cold logic of dams and canals, and the 100-foot “bathtub rings” around Lake Powell serve as a grim reminder that the water demands of the Southwest far exceed its diminishing supply. “It is confined, ) 20

camp knowing, ‘This could be it. This might be it.’ But you try not to think of it on that frontal level.” Richards says the film managed to portray what he loves about alpinism: “When it’s not about getting to the top, but about climbing. The soul of climbing. When you’re pushed to a place where you’re having to look into why you’re doing it.” Fogel, whose production company, Forge Motion Pictures, produces high-end TV commercials as well as adventure films, had invited his friend Kelly Cordes, an alpinist who writes for Patagonia’s blog, to join him and Richards in Carbondale, Colo. “We spent a day and half there, sitting at my house talking and drinking tequila,” Fogel says. “And that was essentially the interview. We talked about what we thought the film should be and decided that it was going to be pretty weird. And we knew that was risky.” Again, that was mother’s milk for Richards, who apparently spent his adolescence at war with the world. After starting high school in Boulder two years early, Richards says, he “got screwed up by the social imbalance” and dropped out at 14. “I hated authority,” he says. “I was a little shit and I didn’t listen to anybody. Anybody who said I had to do something, I was like, ‘No, I won’t do it.’ I was such a junk show that my parents basically threw me out of the house.” He spent the next couple of years couch-surfing and barely avoiding the street. “In that time,” he says, “I think I developed an ability and an aptitude to suffer.”

fractured and fading,â€? McBride says in the ďŹ lm. “I start seeing the river as an orphan, stretched into a blooming desert, a maze of concrete canals and a symphony of human thirst.â€? The strains on the Colorado, McBride says, are manifold. A drought, climate change, more people, more grazing, even more dust in the Rockies, which changes the rate at which snow melts—all have taken their toll on the river. And the law governing the river was awed to begin with, he explains. The 1922 Colorado River Compact, which apportioned water to every state in the basin, assumed a ow of 17 million acre feet per year. Instead, the ow is close to 14 million acre feet per year. “And nobody wants to give up their straw to the extra large drink when it’s a medium,â€? he says. Chasing Water succeeds as art rather than lesson because of its remarkable beauty and its impact. When McBride as cameraman deplanes, leaving behind lyrical views of the turquoise river meandering through red sandstone to meet up with the kayak-bound Waterman in what McBride calls “the frappuccino pitâ€? in the Colorado River Delta, it’s like a kick in the gut.

Even the fearsome machinery of the Hoover Dam is easier to contemplate than this lazily foaming sludge of agricultural effluent and sewage found at the graveyard of the Colorado River. The delta, we learn, used to be a braided network of lagoons where birds nested and shrimp hatched. But in the ďŹ lm, McBride and Waterman have to walk the last 29 miles across dried mudats and scrubland in order to complete their mission of following the river’s old course to the Sea of Cortez. Only because of the remoteness of the delta has this happened, McBride says. “The river stopped reaching the sea in the ’80s,â€? he explains, “but during the spring runoff, it would reach it. Not a drop has since the late ’90s, but most people don’t know that. And that’s a big issue, I think. Because if the river ended in San Diego, they’d freak out. They’d be like, ‘Where’s our river?’â€? ‘Chasing Water’ (NR; 18 min.) screens Tuesday, March 6, as part of the Banff Film Festival.

Happy 187th An adult birthday party can range from a “crazy night = painful morning” situation to a “refusal to acknowledge that the earth actually did complete its orbit, which means I’m older” affair. What happened to the simplicity of the kid’s party, where there’s cake and a performing clown? This weekend at Charles Krug Winery, the owners celebrate the 187th birthday of its

founder, Charles Krug, in a very, um, intimate way. After a threecourse meal with fine wines, the celebration takes an otherworldly turn as spirit medium Leanne Thomas attempts to contact Krug himself to wish him happy birthday in the afterlife. That’s right—dinner and a medium. Join Charles and other birthday guests on Saturday, March 3, at Charles Krug Winery. 2800 Main St., St. Helena. 6pm. $100. 707.967.2200.

First, it’s basically an updated American Idol; second, hosts Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton make a great team; finally, and most importantly, it’s the contestants—whether at the beginning of the show, with the unfortunate and ridiculous people who don’t make it, or in the middle with a clear division between friends fighting over their favorite performers. Anyone in the North Bay who loved last year’s season should be even more excited, because winner Javier Colon performs with special guest Kevin Daniel on Sunday, March 4, at the Uptown Theatre. 1350 Third St., Napa. 7pm. $25. 707.259.0123.

Put them all together and it could be a really good day. Get the good music and the right place this weekend at Rancho Nicasio with blues band Contino, and the rest is up to you. The band’s Americana and zydeco-blues style blends perfectly with the rural landscape of West Marin.

CHAPTER TWO Paul Heavenridge has expanded Literacyworks’ mission to include teaching many important life tools.

More Than Words Literacyworks’ mission to make readers of everybody BY LEILANI CLARK

W

hile the paint was still drying on the Literacyworks logo at the organization’s new office space in Petaluma, Paul Heavenridge got a knock on the door. His visitors were a mother and her two sons, stopping by to ask about the availability of literacy programs through the national nonproďŹ t organization.

“We talked, and it made me curious about what was available

locally,â€? says Heavenridge, who founded the organization in 2001 in Oakland and moved it to Petaluma three years ago. “I talked to the Petaluma Education Foundation,â€? says Heavenridge, “and it turns out that there aren’t really any literacy programs in the schools.â€? Further research revealed worrisome ďŹ ssures. He saw a system in slow breakdown, with more library and community literacy programs closing their doors than opening them, effectively ending the possibilities for low-level child and adult learners to learn how to read and write.

“The national research that always motivates me the most is that 60 percent of the American population reads at a seventhgrade level or below,â€? says Heavenridge. “How can you get a better job? How can you be the best parent? The more literate our society is, the better we can make critical-thinking decisions.â€? On a Tuesday afternoon in the meeting room of Literacyworks’ Foundry Wharf office space, Heavenridge’s enthusiasm for the organization’s impressive list of projects is kinetic. Since attaining nonproďŹ t status in 2001, Literacyworks has provided

technical, web and curriculum support to a coordinated network of state-run adult-literacy programs. They’ve also acted as an umbrella, or “incubator,â€? for programs like the Bay Area Literacy Coalition that have a goal of achieving nonproďŹ t status. Last October, Heavenridge saw the first realization of his dream for making Petaluma the “life-long learning capitalâ€? of the United States with the debut of Word Up!, a learning fair that drew over 1,500 people. The free, volunteer-run event offered live music, food, keynote speaker Anne Lamott and interactive exhibits on not just reading but community gardening, car mechanics, financial planning, parenting, coffee brewing and more. At the same time, Heavenridge didn’t want to stray from Literacyworks original mission of helping to increase basic literacy skills. In August 2011, he established the Literacyworks fund through the Community Foundation of Sonoma County. “I really saw a need for fundraisers to keep these organizations going,â€? says Heavenridge. The ďŹ rst such fundraiser promises liquid fun with Straight Up!, a vodka-cocktail-making competition and tasting event on March 8 showcasing bartenders from renowned restaurants like Cyrus and John Ash. “The core of this is awareness and getting funding to keep these essential programs going,â€? explains Heavenridge. “In my mind, education is the key to everything. Without a literate population, we’re just going to fade away.â€? Straight Up! promises stiff competition on Thursday, March 8, at the Sheraton Sonoma-Petaluma. 745 Baywood Drive, Petaluma. 6pm. $20.

Correa has had the opportunity to helm the musical, which he’s long considered one of his favorites. “For some reason,â€? he says, “whenever I considered doing it, everyone else in the area was doing it, so I kept saying, ‘Let’s wait. Let’s visit this some other time.’ Well, that time is now.â€? The uniquely structured musical follows a group of singers, writers and nightclub performers who congregate at a decadent cabaret in pre-war Berlin. Moving between outrageous musical performances in the Kit Kat Klub to sharply written scenes between singer Sally Bowles and wide-eyed newcomer Cliff, the story plays out amid the rise of Nazism in Germany. “It’s a very tight staging of this play,â€? says Correa, describing his vision of the show. “So many versions are so long and rambling and unclear. I’ve found ways to keep it owing from scene to scene without interruption, allowing the momentum of the show to build. It’s very effective.â€? Asked what that’s new or fresh can be brought to such a wellknown show, Correa laughs. “You can only bring yourself,â€? he says. “Shows like Cabaret have been done so many times, there probably isn’t anything new you could do. So as the director, all you can bring is your own unique understanding of the story. It’s like a singer singing a song, like Sally Bowles singing ‘Cabaret.’ The tune is the same, but you change the tempo a little here and there, and you bring your own emotion to the song.â€? Correa adds that he’s hoping to bring some perspective and clarity to the rocky love affair between Sally and Cliff. “I choose to interpret it as Cliff being gay,â€? Correa explains. “And being gay in 1930 Berlin was not necessarily comfortable. Sally and Cliff are both giving each other a fantasy—but it can’t last. Eventually, we all have to live our truth.â€?

But, But, But . . .

Woody Allen film series a mere crosssection of a career BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

Y

es, it won Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars, but Woody Allen’s hit Midnight in Paris was a safe place for film viewers to go. Really, the Parisian fantasy was just a pleasant echo of the muscular, sensitive comedies Allen was making a couple decades ago. Starting this week, Summerfield Cinemas is reviving five of those Allen films. One is semi-canonical, directed by Herbert Ross: Play It Again Sam (1972; March 15), starring Allen as a San Francisco film critic, dreamy about Humphrey Bogart and in love with his best friend’s wife (Diane Keaton). Strange that Allen hasn’t filmed in San Francisco since. This was the first of eight movies pairing Allen with Keaton. As famous as they were, it’s still scarcely appreciated what a team they made. Even the lesser-known Manhattan Murder Mystery, released in 1993, the year after Allen’s well-known scandal, now looks like one of Allen’s best films. No one matched Keaton’s ability to scold, cajole and charm the Allen character, to shake him out of being the man making jokes on the sidelines. Keaton is the sweet ditherer of the title in the proto-multimedia comedy Annie Hall (1977; March 22), as well as a harsher pseudointellectual in Manhattan (1979; March 1)—both watch as eloquent defenses of New York City. If President Ford was telling the city to drop dead, Allen was celebrating the life still left in it. In both films, Allen was an old-time romantic taking full advantage of the sexual revolution—and yet he was somehow dismayed by it all. When Allen turned 50, that dismay turned to nostalgia. The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985; March 8) stars the protean Mia Farrow as a Jersey housewife, escaping her grim life with the physical manifestation of a movie star. Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989; March 29) is the laterlife moralist Allen at his most likable. It’s the film where Allen tackles Einstein’s solemn quote “God doesn’t play dice with the universe.” “No,” Allen retorts dryly, “he just plays hide and seek.” For more series info., see www.summerfieldcinemas.com

Richter Scale Loma Prieta’s hard quake When Sean Leary and Devon Rumrill formed the Petaluma hardcore band Archeopteryx in 1996, the longtime friends probably couldn’t have imagined the confused reaction that their manic, frenetic band would inspire. Case in point: Near the end of their run, Leary, above, recalled that a certain fan, layered in some kind of strange mid-aughts post-post-irony, remarked that “You know, I really liked your band when I thought you weren’t a real band, but then, like, someone told me that you guys think you’re a real band, and I don’t really know if I like you so much anymore.� What is a “real band�? Loma Prieta, the hardcore quartet that Leary has fronted since 2005, probably fits the vague requirement. Loma Prieta has toured the globe, and freshly released their fourth album, I.V., a blistering set that marks their debut on high-profile hardcore label Deathwish. It marks their best work since the blistering 2008 album Last City, and is poised to reach a wide, nonconfused audience. Before Loma Prieta travel the country yet again over the next two months, they’ll revisit Leary’s old stomping grounds in a tour kickoff show with All Teeth, Skin Like Iron, Birds in Row and Between Ships. Originally scheduled at the Transient Lounge, the show’s now on Friday, March 2, at the Arlene Francis Center. 99 Sixth St., Santa Rosa. 6:30pm. $8. 707.528.3009.—Gabe Meline

COSMIC VIBES Mickey Hart samples soundwaves from outer space on his latest album.

Space Odyssey Mickey Hart gets down with the outer limits

BY MICHAEL SHUFRO

I

n the era of ’70s psychedelic rock ’n’ roll, Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart transformed the art of percussion, accessing the outer realms of musical thought and transporting Deadheads on cosmic trips into the ether. But for the rhythm cosmonaut, his time with the Dead would mark just one of many encounters between his musical peaks and the celestial depths.

Three years ago, the threetime Grammy winner found himself toying with deep space transmissions generated by giant radio telescopes and state-of-theart spectroscopic instruments

The Mickey Hart Band play Wednesday, March 7, at the Raven Theater. 115 North St., Healdsburg. 8pm. $35. 707.433.6335. Mickey Hart is currently offering 10 free songs for download on his site at MickeyHart.net.

Music

near his Marin home. The idea of jamming with the literal rhythms of the universe had hooked him like a new drug, and after a little convincing, it captured the intrigue of the local scientiďŹ c community also. Astronomers, physicists and sound engineers from Lawrence Berkeley Labs, Meyer Sound, NASA and even Nobel recipient George F. Smoot climbed aboard, and soon Hart’s endeavor to transform starlight into song took ight. While the scientists used sophisticated algorithms to convert 13.7 billion-year-old light waves into sonic frequencies, Hart sampled the pulsars and gamma rays, subtlety weaving the space sounds into a more terrestrial music. “I’m working with the strongest grooves in the universe. They created us, and the moon, sun and Earth—it’s turned out to be very musical,â€? Hart says of the soundwork, on the phone from his home. “But it’s not what you would call melodic or harmonious. There are a lot of collisions. There’s thumping, whirling and chirping— it’s very noisy.â€? With the material sound of the big bang uploaded like a quantum drumbeat to his computer, Hart switched gears and turned to the local art community in search of musicians who weren’t totally earthbound. After a healthy dose of astronomic ponder, what formed is the new Mickey Hart Band, a tightly packaged sputnik of funk, blues and rock infused with outer space rhythms, lots of percussion and original world music. Set to release April 10, the album’s songs also feature lyrics penned by longtime Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. “We’re a jam band, not a space band,â€? Hart says, despite the cosmic theme on the group’s debut album, Mysterium Tremendum. “The most important thing is that it makes you dance, that it’s high energy— that it’s rock ’n’ roll.â€?

Bone Shaker

Dorothy Allison celebrates 20th anniversary of ‘Bastard Out of Carolina.’ For working-class, feminist writers, Dorothy Allison is a hero for her ability to write fearlessly about dysfunctional family dynamics, lesbian sexuality and growing up poor. From Allison, I learned that the writing life wasn’t only for those with the privilege of time and money; it’s for anyone willing to do the hardscrabble work of putting pen to paper and believing in their own wild grace. Those who read Bastard Out of Carolina when it was first published in 1992 might have a hard time believing that it’s been 20 years since Allison’s brutal, luminous first novel entered the world. Likewise, it’s impossible to imagine a world without Bone, the book’s Gospel-loving, stark-eyed, 12year-old narrator, who spends the book in the midst of surviving sexual abuse by her stepfather. For its beautiful, gripping prose, the book takes a rightful position—next to Beloved, Wise Blood and As I Lay Dying—on the shelf of canonic Southern fiction. Dorothy Allison appears Saturday, March 3, at Copperfield’s Books in Montgomery Village. 775 Village Court, Santa Rosa. 5pm. Free. 707.578.8938.—Leilani Clark

ARIES (March 21–April 19) At one point in his book The Divine Comedy, the Italian poet Dante is traveling through purgatory on his way to paradise. American poet T. S. Eliot describes the scene: “The people there were inside the ames expurgating their errors and sins. And there was one incident when Dante was talking to an unknown woman in her ame. As she answered Dante’s questions, she had to step out of her ame to talk to him, until at last she was compelled to say to Dante, ‘Would you please hurry up with your questions so I can get on with my burning?’â€? I bring this to your attention, Aries, because I love the way you’ve been expurgating your own errors and sins lately. Don’t let anything interfere with your brilliant work. Keep burning till you’re done. (Source: “A New Type of Intellectual: Contemplative Withdrawal and Four Quartets,â€? by Kenneth P. Kramer.) TAURUS (April 20–May 20)

If you’ve been holding yourself back in any way, Taurus, now’s the time to unlock and unleash yourself. If you have been compromising your high standards or selling yourself short, I hope you will give yourself permission to grow bigger and stronger and brighter. If you’ve been hiding your beauty or hedging your bets or rationing your access to the mother lode, you have ofďŹ cially arrived at the perfect moment to stop that nonsense.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) In the cult blaxploitation ďŹ lm The Human Tornado, the main character, Dolemite, brags about his prowess. “I chained down thunder and handcuffed lightning!â€? he raves. “I used an earthquake to mix my milkshake! I eat an avalanche when I want ice cream! I punched a hurricane and made it a breeze! I swallowed an iceberg and didn’t freeze!â€? This is the way I want to hear you talk in the coming week, Gemini. Given the current astrological conďŹ gurations, you have every right to. Furthermore, I think it’ll be healthy for you. CANCER (June 21–July 22)

Astrologer Antero Alli theorizes that the placement of the sign Cancer in a person’s chart may indicate what he or she tends to whine about. In his own chart, he says, Cancer rules his ninth house, so he whines about obsolete beliefs and bad education and stale dogmas that cause people to shun ďŹ rsthand experience as a source of authority. I hereby declare these issues to be supremely honorable reasons for you to whine in the coming week. You also have cosmic permission to complain vociferously about the following: injustices perpetrated by small-minded people; short-sighted thinking that ignores the big picture; and greedy self-interest that disdains the future. On the other hand, you don’t have clearance to whine about crying babies, rude clerks or trafďŹ c jams.

LEO (July 23–August 22) L.A. Weekly praised the music of drone-noise band Barn Owl. Its review said that the listening experience is “akin to placing your ear against the Dalai Lama’s stomach and catching the sound of his reincarnation juices owing.â€? That sounds a bit like what’s ahead for you in the coming week, Leo: getting the lowdown on the inner workings of a benevolent source . . . tuning in to the rest of the story that lies behind a seemingly simple, happy tale . . . gathering up revelations about the subterranean currents that are always going on beneath the surface of the good life. It’s ultimately all positive, although a bit complicated. VIRGO (August 23–September 22)

In the coming days, you could do a lot to develop a better relationship with darkness. And no, I don’t mean that you should do bad things and seek out negativity and be fascinated with evil. When I use that word, “darkness,â€? I’m referring to confusing mysteries and your own unconscious patterns and the secrets you hide from yourself. I mean the difďŹ cult memories and the parts of the world that seem inhospitable to you and the sweet dreams that have lost their way. See what you can do to understand this stuff better, Virgo. Open yourself to the redemptive teachings it has for you.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Sister Jessica, a character in Frank Herbert’s Dune books, says, “The greatest and most important problems of life cannot be solved. They can only be outgrown.â€? I encourage you to use that theory as your operative hypothesis for the foreseeable future. Here are some speciďŹ c clues about how to proceed: Don’t obsess on your crazy-making dilemma. Instead, concentrate on skillfully doing the

pleasurable activities that you do best. Be resolutely faithful to your higher mission and feed your lust for life. Slowly but surely, I think you’ll ďŹ nd that the frustrating impediment will be drained of at least some of its power to lock up your energy.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

A few years ago, the Hong Kong company Life Enhance sold briefs and boxer shorts that were supposedly designed by a master practitioner of feng shui. On the front of every garment was an image of a dragon, which the Chinese have traditionally regarded as a lucky symbol. To have this powerful charm in contact with your intimate places increased your vital force—or so the sales rap said. By my estimates, Scorpio, you’re not going to need a boost like that in the coming weeks. Without any outside aids whatsoever, your lower furnace will be generating intense beams of magical heat. What are you going to do with all that potent mojo? Please don’t use it on trivial matters.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) There are times in your life when you do a lot of exploring in the outer world, and other times when your pioneering probes are directed primarily inward. In my astrological opinion, you’re currently more suited for the latter kind of research. If you agree with me, here’s one tack you might want to take: take an inventory of all your inner voices, noticing both the content of what they say and the tone with which they say it. Some of them may be chatty and others shy; some blaring and others seductive; some nagging and needy and others calm and insightful. Welcome all the voices in your head into the spotlight of your alert attention. Ask them to step forward and reveal their agendas.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) The Oxford English Dictionary, an authority on the state of the English language, adds an average of two new words every day. In the coming weeks, Capricorn, I’d like to see you expand your capacity for selfexpression with equal vigor. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due for an upgrade in your vocabulary, your clarity and your communication skills. Here’s one of the OED’s fresh terms, which would be a good addition to your repertoire: “bouncebackability,â€? the ability to recover from a setback or to rebound from a loss of momentum. AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) We turn to Dr. Seuss for help in formulating your horoscope this week. He told a story of dining in a restaurant with his uncle, who was served a popover, which is a puffy mufďŹ n that’s hollow on the inside. “To eat these things,â€? said his uncle, “you must exercise great care. You may swallow down what’s solid, but you must spit out the air!â€? Drawing a lesson from these wise words, Dr. Seuss concluded, “As you partake of the world’s bill of fare, that’s darned good advice to follow. Do a lot of spitting out the hot air. And be careful what you swallow.â€? I expect your coming week will be successful, Aquarius, if you apply these principles. PISCES (February 19–March 20) You should be like a rooster, Pisces—dispensing wake-up calls on a regular basis. You should be nudging people to shed their torpor and shake themselves out of their stupor. What’s your personal version of “Cockadoodledoo!â€?? It shouldn’t be something generic like “Open your eyes!â€? or “Stop making excuses!â€? Come up with attention-grabbing exclamations or signature phrases that no intelligent person can possibly ignore or feel defensive about. For example: “Let’s leap into the vortex and scramble our trances!â€?
