THE BULLHORN

I Like Tigers and I Vote 0G AB3>63< 93AA:3@

/

NIMAL LOVERS were elated to learn that the Downtown Association has recently decided to ask the Santa Cruz City Council to lift the 1976 prohibition against dogs on Pacific Avenue. While I am not personally a dog lover or owner, I do like cats, especially big cats, and most specifically my pet tiger, Borges, who lives contentedly in my Westside backyard. For years I have wanted to bring Borges with me when I go shopping downtown but have been frustrated by the irrational ban on large carnivorous quadrupeds.

Surely Santa Cruz dog owners, in their progressive wisdom, understand that all animals are created equal, and once the dog is out of the bag, so to speak, other creatures dear to the hearts of law-abiding Santa Cruzans must also be welcome to accompany their human companions, and in the process keep our town as weird as its bumper stickers demand. Owners and lovers of domesticated camels, alligators, boa constrictors, bears, wildebeests, mandrills, pythons, pigs, cows, wolves, elephants and other intelligent creatures will rush to f lood the streets with animalistic diversity.

But speaking for myself as a tiger owner, I anticipate some objections from other citizens who may not be big-cat people like I am. Some will object that tigers are large dangerous creatures that sometimes tend to bite, or eat, people and other animals whose paths they happen to cross. This may be true of a small minority of tigers, but the behavior of a few rogues in the wild should not be allowed to taint the reputation of the vast majority of pet tigers in captivity. Borges, for example, is extremely gentle and good-natured, and apart from the occasional raccoon or stray dog or cat that happens to wander onto our property, he has never to my knowledge eaten, or even mauled, a living person.

Then there is the always sensitive question of cat fights. When two or more tigers (up to the legal limit of three), being somewhat territorial creatures, meet on the street, after sniffing each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s butts, they occasionally get a bit aggressive and start hissing and making other noises and threatening gestures that tend to frighten small children. But this is just tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way of getting acquainted, and if kept on a titanium chain no longer than 5 feet or shorter than 3 feet, they are very unlikely to cause any serious damage to property or passers-by.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that panhandling with a tiger can be somewhat intimidatingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially if the tiger happens to be homelessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so I would agree to a restriction on such activity. After dark, however, I would lobby strongly for tigers (unlike dogs) to be permitted, as they are naturally nocturnal creatures who burn, as William Blake observed, brightly, thus discouraging gang activity and contributing to public safety.

But perhaps the most delicate question regarding the permitting of tigers downtown is the matter of, to put it bluntly, tiger shit. Some people may fear that the droppings of a seven-foot-long (not counting the tail) 700-pound carnivore would be rather stinkily conspicuous on our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets, and that is a legitimate concern. But responsible tiger walkers would bring along a shovel and a large plastic garbage bag so our sidewalks would not become feces-festooned obstacle courses like those of Paris.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certain downtown merchants will agree that our local economy will benefit from the increased foot traffic of all kinds of wonderful animals wandering in and out of our shops and restaurants. Some of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friends may be dogs, but we must not tolerate discrimination against tigers.

Stephen Kessler is a writer and tiger lover living in Santa Cruz.

HE SUN is only beginning to peek its crimson head over the eastern horizon at Steamer Lane, and already dozens of neoprene-swathed bodies are bobbing on boards in the water. Dominating the human f lotsam on this picture-perfect spring dawn is the standard cadre of surfers who have spent months, if not years, perfecting Steamerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique break. But the longboarders and shortboarders donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the world-famous

point break to themselves anymore. Here too this morning are the kayaksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;long, pointed bananas split in the middle by helmeted riders clutching double-ended oars in bo staff grips. And among them are the stand-up paddleboarders, upright and tall like Venetian gondoliers.

These days the latter two categories of wave rider are found in ever more frequent numbers in Santa Cruz and beyond. And this weekend, from Friday, March 26, to Sunday, March 28, the mixed

company displayed this morning will see its traditional surfer population massively outnumbered when the 24th Annual Santa Cruz Kayak Surf Festival hits the Lane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a wild time,â&#x20AC;? says all-around ocean addict and event founder Dennis Judson of Adventure Sports Unlimited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come from all around the planet to compete in this. It will have the best kayak surfers and stand-up paddleboarders there are anywhere.â&#x20AC;? ¨

The event is the largest of its kind in the world and involves nearly every way imaginable that a person can ride a wave while holding a paddle.

At stake are worldwide bragging rights and a handful of prizes like new kayaks and paddleboards for which around 100 skilled paddlers will be competing. Winners in the kayak surf category usually take the podium after spectacular aerial tricks that either end in big points or big disappointments, depending on how they are landed. The contest is also a truly international affair, with folks flying in from more than 10 countries, including England, South Africa, Japan and Ireland.

For Galen Licht, a UCSC student whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been kayak surfing for eight years, competing in the contest is one of the only chances he has to stack up against the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent in his sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just hope we get a swell like this in a couple weeks,â&#x20AC;? says Licht, coming out of the water onto West Cliff Drive and hauling his dripping $2,200 Valley Rush kayak back to his station wagon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People in this sport wait all year for this weekend. You really have to go big if you want to win anything.â&#x20AC;?

New Wave Most folks outside of Santa Cruz picture a kayak knifing through white water river rapids or drifting at a leisurely pace though scenic estuaries.

And when the sport of kayak surfing first popped up in England and the United States around 1988, it was the plastic river kayaks that the pioneering surfers used.

These days, professional grade boats are built from high tech Kevlar and carbon fiber. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lighter, smaller and tougher, and they allow a kayaker to twist, turn and launch into the air. They can also cost up to $5,000 and may only last a single season in rough waves.

Stand-up paddleboards are decidedly less expensive and are, in essence, large surf boards that can support the weight of an upright person. In 2002, Arroyo Grande wave star Fletcher Burton fashioned and rode a board 24 inches wide and 13 feet long. Back then, he says, Hawaii big wave legend Laird Hamilton was the only other surfer who had mastered the art. After that, he says, the sport caught like wildfire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most amazing thing about standup paddleboarding is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really catching on worldwide,â&#x20AC;? Burton says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like your own little floating island, and it lets you surf any wave, no matter how small. You have an advantage over regular surfers, and sometimes that can lead to drama.â&#x20AC;?

As Burton suggests, kayak surfers, stand-up paddleboarders and â&#x20AC;&#x153;regularâ&#x20AC;? surfers rarely get along. And on the crowded waves at spots like Steamer Lane and Pleasure Point, tension between the camps can get downright explosive. To surfers, kayakers are too big and too bulky, while stand-up paddleboarders are wannabe surfers who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paddle with their arms. To some kayakers and paddleboarders, surfers are egotistical purists who think that waves were made for them and them alone.

All the drama of the Streamer lineup will pause, however, for the three-day festival. And, as Judson says, people will â&#x20AC;&#x153;just have fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy out here, especially this time of year. And us kayak surfers pretty much avoid this place,â&#x20AC;? he says, looking out at the flotilla of surfers that seems to have doubled in size in the hour between 7am and 8am. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting this place to yourself never happens, so when the festival comes around itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty exciting. And for anyone who has never seen what these guys can do with a board or a kayak, their minds are about to be blown.â&#x20AC;?

Old-Time and the New Line The Santa Cruz Blues Festival heads into its 18th season with tribute to yesterday and tomorrow 0G >/C: 2/D7A

S

ANTA CRUZâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S most venerable music institution, the Santa Cruz Blues Festival, returns to town Memorial Day with a stellar lineup worthy of an 18th birthday party. Under the guiding hand of festival organizer Bill Welch, the festival pays tribute to the both the foundation and the future of the genre with Saturday headliners Ben Harper and the Relentless7 and on Sunday Buddy Guy, who stands as a one-man institution in his own right.

The lineup Welch has in place is already promising. The 18th installment in the annual festival will follow a structure similar to years past, in which Saturday highlights up-and-coming talent within the constellation of blues, soul and rock while Sunday is reserved for legacy acts and practitioners of meat-and-potatoes traditional blues.

Many of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players should be familiar to attendees of Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley, the club Welch runs. Southern-fried blues-funk player Eric Lindell opens the day, followed by Dumpstaphunk, the New Orleans funk outfit comprised of the next generation of Neville brothers.

Singer/songwriter Joseph Arthur appears, followed by blues chameleon Taj Mahal, who will be making his first appearance at the festival.

And last but certainly not least that day is headliner Ben Harper, who comes to Aptos with his latest band, the Relentless7, which Welch describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a whole new twist on Ben Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound.â&#x20AC;? The singer/songwriter, who has

<3E 0:C3A @3DC3 Ben Harper and the Relentless7 play the Blues Festival on May 29. Blues legend Buddy Guy headlines Sunday.

consigned himself to lilting acoustic blues in recent years, this time opts for a muscular blues-rock approach.

Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance is something of a coup for Welch, who notes that the singer is very selective about shows and has played few blues festivals in the past.

While Welch has yet to finalize the Sunday lineup (he plans on having it finished by Wednesday, but did not have it prepared by presstime), the two artists he can confirm suggest an impressive day. Festival favorite Coco Montoya, a former member of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, will return for a midday set. Welch describes Montoyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the essence of what we do.â&#x20AC;?

Sunday will be closed by headliner Buddy Guy, who makes his third appearance at the Blues Festival. Guy needs no introduction to anyone with even a passing interest in the blues, and Welch is charged over having the dean

of the electric Chicago blues returning to the stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the few first-generation guys still out on the road,â&#x20AC;? Welch says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting close to being in his mid70s, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still doing that straight Chicago blues. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been watching him for nearly 30 years.â&#x20AC;?

The diversity of sounds ref lects what Welch considers the Santa Cruz Blues Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter: as he describes it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to show where the music came from and where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of new, crossover stuff and a lot of old stuff. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we think the genre of music is headed.â&#x20AC;?

THE 18TH ANNUAL SANTA CRUZ BLUES FESTIVAL is Memorial Day weekend, May 29â&#x20AC;&#x201C;30, at Aptos Village Park, 100 Aptos Creek Road, Aptos.

4:G 47A67<5 47:; B=C@ As far as we can tell, fly fishing is about as close as cowboys and corporate executives get to zen meditation (and definitely as close as they get to each other). So, no, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not having some crazy white-knuckle adventure out there in their hip waders. But it is a very groovy sport with an even groovier byproduct: encouraging human interest in healthy rivers. Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival is a fundraiser for the Monterey Bay Trout and Salmon Project, which lost part of its coho and steelhead hatchery in the Lockheed Fire.

Friday, March 26, at 7pm at Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets $15 general/$5, ages 18 and under. 831.423.8209.

A/<B/1@CH 1=; march 24-31, 2010 47:;

/D/B/@ (PG-13; 162 min.) In the future, Earthling mercenaries are shipped to the planet Pandora, where 9-foot-tall, blue-skinned noble savages called Naâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;vi live in a phosphorescent forest full of saurian beasts. Jake (Sam Worthington) is the paraplegic brother of a dead soldier hooked up to a Naâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;vi shell; the program is under the direction of a chainsmoking biologist (Sigourney Weaver).

The politics play it both ways; letting us swoon over the military hardware and still lament for the plundered forests. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see it, see it in 3-D. (RvB) 0=C<BG 6C<B3@

(PG-13; 111 min.)

Jennifer Aniston is a reporter working undercover and Gerard Butler her bountyhunting ex in this romantic comedy directed by Andy Tennant (Hitch, Sweet Home Alabama). Bit parts by Jason Sudeikis and Jeff Garlin sweeten the pot. (TH) 1@/HG 63/@B (R; 119 min.) Crazy Heart gives Jeff Bridges a belly-baring role, with his slit-eyed country singer Bad Blake as a kind of Bad Lebowski, a morose sweet-talking satyr drinking his way to the grave. On tour in his ancient 1978 Chevy Suburban, he meets a former Oklahoma newspaper reporter, Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal). What truly concerns Jean is the inf luence this charismatic wreck of a man will be on her young son.

Robert Duvall, who co-produced, plays a clean and sober bar

owner in Houston who is also Badâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentor.

Ultimately, it may be that Bridges is more fun to watch as a drunkardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his Bad has a hostile, coolly funny mean streak that goes away when he gets dry and sensitive. (RvB) 27/@G =4 / E7;>G 972 (PG; 91 min.)

Doltish adults and witless peers surround a smart-ass junior high kid with a self-esteem problem. (TH) B63 56=AB E@7B3@

(PG-13; 136 min.)

Loosely based on recent events in global politics, Roman Polanskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goodlooking thriller follows a British journalist (Ewan McGregor) hired to clean up the memoirs of a British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan) whose previous ghost writer has just turned up dead. With Kim Cattrall as the PMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curvaceous chief of staff and Olivia Williams as his intellectual wife. (CW) 5@33< H=<3 (R; 115 min.) As U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller, Matt Damon roars around Baghdad in March 2003 looking for WMD sites. His instructions were vetted by a source called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magellan,â&#x20AC;? whose info is filtered through a State Department wonk (Greg Kinnear).

Damon locks eyes with a CIA agent (Brendan Gleeson) who is entertaining similar doubts about the mission. In the field, Miller trails a Saddamite general, Al Rawi (Yigal Naor).

Watching Miller watch Al Rawi is a black ops figure ( Jason Isaacs). Director Paul Greengrass executes Green Zone with the same visual technique as in his two Bourne movies. The problem is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost impossible to reconcile a depressing war with smash-mouth action, at least while the war still rages. (RvB) B63 6C@B :=193@

(R; 138 min.) The soldiers of Bravo

Company are stationed in Baghdad for the 2004 fighting. Central to the film is the mystery of Staff Sgt. James ( Jeremy Renner) who comes in to replace a slaughtered demolition expert.

Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; risk-taking amazes and angers his subordinate, Sgt. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie). The suspenseful, grimly funny script is by coproducer Mark Boal.

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

Bigelow breaks through the sense of anonymity that characterizes most Iraq war movies, where helmeted men move alike and talk the same terse slang. (RvB) B63 :/AB AB/B7=<

(R; 112 min.) Well cast, visually pleasant yet strangely toneless film about Tolstoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last days. Around 1910 in Moscow, Valentin ( James McAvoy) is recruited by Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), who is dedicated to carrying out the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reformist ideas regarding celibacy and manual labor.

Valentin will live on Tolstoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commune and record the great manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts. Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) is enjoying a sort of Indian summer, watching his minifarm bloom and receiving the adulation of the world. But the countâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sofya, his wife of nearly 50 years, played by Helen Mirrenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has tired of her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utopian politics. Mirren does the great lady thing with ease. (RvB) <=@B6 4/13

Philipp StĂślzlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction is stodgy, but the true story has some punch. Two German soldiers and mountaineers go to Switzerland for the fateful scaling of the

E7:A=< E300

( Johnny Depp). Deppâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marvelous f lexibility comes through clearly, through the unsettling makeup.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a helpless Burton fan, but the colors here arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t state of the art, and compared to Coralineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solitude and thoughtfulness the finale turns out to be familiar dragon slaying; ultimately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just Alice who has been here before. (RvB)

Johanna Wokalek plays Luisa, who works for a newspaper under the toxic Nazi mentoring of Berlin (hiss) editor Henry (Ulrich Tukur). She will be the photographer when Andi and Toni attack the mountain: several thousand sheer feet of crumbly rock and slippery ice. The ordeal itself is all about incremental things: lives depending on a decision to leave a rope in place or not, or the chance of a July snowstorm. Christian Kolonovitzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clumsy orchestral soundtrack out-avalanches the avalanche. (RvB) =C@ 4/;7:G E3227<5 (PG-13)

Forest Whitaker, America Ferrera and Carlos Mencia star in a tale about paternal egos and wedding preparations gone awry. / >@=>63B (R; 162 min.) A young FrancoArab winds up in prison and indebted to

the sadistic Corsican kingpin who runs the joint. Friendless and futless, the kid falls into a pattern with ominous consequences for his future. In French, Arab and Corsican. Winner of too many awards to count. (TH) @3;3;03@ ;3

(PG-13; 120 min.)

Romantic drama has Twilightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robert Pattinson beginning a relationship with Emilie de Ravin, who lost her mother at a . . . ahhhhhhhh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got Robert Pattinson! Lock up Hot Topic for two hours, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to the movies! (SP) @3>= ;3< (R; 111

min.) Nothing like the 1984 film of a similar name that gave us the great soundtrack.

Futuristic thriller finds Jude Law in the role of repo man for a human organ agency (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the futuristic part). When his own heart is replaced at a steep price, his former partner (Forest Whitaker) is sent to extract . . . letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call it payment. With Liev Schreiber and Alice Braga. (TH) B63 @C</E/GA (R; 117 min.) The scene

that sticks in the memory is Dakota Fanningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cherie Currie dancing, sort of, at a high school talent show to David Bowieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lady Grinning Soulâ&#x20AC;?; it has the best music in the film, it scopes the judgment of a row of scornful Valley girls and the mixed emotions of the teachers watching, alarmed but touched by Currieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raw need. Fanningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on Currie as unformed and modest of talent, ripe for the exploitation, is matched against her friendship (with benefits) with Kristen Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joan Jett, a focused, daring professional even at a young age. This biopic of a minor all-girl band of the 1970s makes the case for them as pioneers. Jett had that credibility, but the second best song in this film, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bad Reputation,â&#x20AC;? not only comes over the credits but is better used in the upcoming Kick-Ass and came out after the Runaways were finished as a band. Unfortunately, producer Kim Fowley (played as a doubledealing psychedelic

psycho by Michael Shannon) might not be far off the mark in describing the group as novelties. (RvB) A63¸A =CB =4 ;G :3/5C3 (R; 105 min.)

Internet scandal over this comedy centers on whether Alice Eve is really out of Jay Baruchelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league, as the plot requires. I guarantee you that is the least of this movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. (SP) A6CBB3@ 7A:/<2

(R; 138 min.) In 1954, two federal marshals, Teddy and Chuck (Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo), are sent to a Skull Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;like promontory in Boston harbor. They match wits with the lord of the place: Dr. Cawley, the bald head psychiatrist (Ben Kingsley), and his assistant, a Mahlerloving Mitteleuropean (Max von Sydow).

The two supervise a weird staff; we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell them from the inmates without their uniforms. Bad storm, check; power outage, check; escaped lunatic, check. The traditions are honored: nightmare sequences, statues f lickering in

lightning and visits to Teddy by the evermore persistent ghost of his dead wife, Dolores (Michelle Williams). The allyou-can-eat buffet of fruitcakes includes a disfigured Elias Koteas, Patricia Clarkson as a tragic cavewoman, Emily Mortimer as a suburban Medea and Jackie Earle Haley.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all laid out with panache, if with stagy chunks of backstory.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an entertaining throwback, not a step forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a stumbling block for a baff led audience trained to believe â&#x20AC;&#x153;it must be important, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scorsese.â&#x20AC;? (RvB) B6/B 3D3<7<5 AC< (PG-13; 118 min.)

Abner Meecham (Hal Holbrook) has been stashed in an old folks home by his ungrateful son, but the old boy wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay put. He returns to the Tennessee farm where he lived and worked for decades, only to find that belligerent tenants are ruining everything he worked for. With Ray McKinnon and Mia Wasikowska. (TH)

Astrology Free Will

1126 Soquel Ave.

By Rob Brezsny

Free Public Parking at Cayuga & Soquel O (831)429-9600

For the week of March 24 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): All but one of our planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mountain ranges have been mapped: the Gamburtsev Mountains, which are buried under 2.5 miles of ice in Antarctica. Recent efforts to get a read on this craggy landscape, aided by a network of seismic instruments, have revealed some initial details about it, including its role in forming the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. I recommend that you regard the Gamburtsevs as an iconic metaphor in the coming months, Aries. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be an apt symbol for one of your lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured themes: the discovery and exploration of a massive unknown territory that has been hidden from view.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my opinion that everyone has a duty to periodically check in with themselves to make sure they still are who they say they are. Over time, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tendency for all of us to fall into the habit of believing our own hype. We get entranced by the persona we project. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tempted to keep capitalizing on our past accomplishments in ways that lull us into complacency and give us unconscious permission to stop growing. You, Taurus, are in no worse danger of doing this than any of the rest of us. But the coming weeks will be an excellent time, astrologically speaking, for you to do an intensive check-in.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): The odds are higher than usual that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll encounter a future soul brother or soul sister in the coming weeks. Potential allies are gravitating toward you, even if neither they nor you are aware of it yet. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also likely to brush up against a tribe or team you could benefit from knowing more about. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m counseling you to be extra open to meeting people you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Talk to strangers. Ask your friends to introduce you to their friends. And consider the possibility of skipping over the customary social formalities so you can reveal some of the core truths about who you are right from the start.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Sci-fi author Neil Gaiman sometimes invites his readers to get involved in his creative process. While working on the story â&#x20AC;&#x153;Metamorpho,â&#x20AC;? for example, he Twittered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trying to decide if broccoli is funnier than kohlrabi in a list of vegetables.â&#x20AC;? When a number of fans suggested â&#x20AC;&#x153;rutabagaâ&#x20AC;? instead, he took their suggestion. (Thanks to The New Yorker for that report.) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to borrow Gaimanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have maximum power to shape your own destiny. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my question: What accomplishment would you like your horoscope to say you will complete by May 15? Email me at Truthrooster@gmail.com. :3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): From the 9th to the 15th century, the Khmer empire thrived in what is now Cambodia. Its rulers were regarded as deities who had privileges that common folk didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t haveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as special responsibilities. For example, each god-king was expected, according to custom, to engage in sexual relations with a sacred nine-headed serpent every single night, whether he was in the mood or not. (An actual human being usually served as a proxy for the magic snake.) I suspect you may get an inkling of the god-kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double-edged situation in the coming week, Leo. On the one hand, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to be presented with the possibility of experiencing uncommonly interesting pleasure. On the other hand, there may be an obligatory quality to itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a slightly oppressive pressure that is fully blended with the bliss.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): According to the oracular priestess at the ancient Greek shrine of Delphi, whom I consulted in my dream last night, your code phrases for the week are â&#x20AC;&#x153;luminous shadowâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden light.â&#x20AC;? That was the gist of her entire message; she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide any more practical clues. But here are some ways I might interpret her prophecy if I were you: What dark place in your life might soon shine forth with a new radiance? Or: What secret beauty is aching to be found? Or: What odd asset have you been concealing for no good reason? :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): In my role as moral sentinel, I strongly urge you not to watch â&#x20AC;&#x153;Telephone,â&#x20AC;? the music video by Lady Gaga and BeyoncĂŠ. It epitomizes everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy-making about our culture: brilliantly executed, gorgeous to behold, and perversely seductive, even though

Santa Cruz, near the Crepe Place and Rio Theatre At your service everyday from 10-9 since 1978 www.gatewaysbooks.com

its subject matter is degrading, demoralizing, and devoid of meaning. In my role as a kick-ass educator, however, I encourage you to watch the video at least once. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d benefit from seeing such an explicit embodiment of the crazy-making pressures youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wise to avoid exposing yourself to in the coming weeks. You can find it at tinyurl.com/ycx6p34 or tinyurl.com/ycvkkdz.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the time, life does not talk to you,â&#x20AC;? writes Robert T. Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just sort of pushes you around. Each push is life saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wake up. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I want you to learn.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Different people respond in different ways, Kiyosaki says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some just let life push them around. Others get angry and push back. But they push back against their boss, or their job, or their husband or wife. They do not know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pushing.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to tell you, Scorpio, that what he says is particularly apropos for you right now. And I hope that you will neither allow yourself to get pushed around nor blame the wrong source for the push. Instead, make yourself available to learn the lesson that lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nudging you to pay attention to.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): NASA scientist Richard Gross believes that the recent 8.8 earthquake in Chile was so strong that it shifted the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s axis and shortened the length of the day. The amounts were relatively smallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;three inches and 1.26 microsecondsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but it was enough to make â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Earth ring like a bell.â&#x20AC;? I predict a somewhat comparable seismic shift for you in the coming weeks. The main difference is that yours will not be generated by a painful jolt but rather by a breakthrough thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s half smart and half lucky.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): In a library in Warsaw, there is a 1,000-plus-page memoir written by my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Leon Dembowski, a close adviser to the last king of Poland.

Someday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make a pilgrimage over there, photocopy that family heirloom, bring it back to America, and have it translated into English. The task I envision for you in the coming weeks, Capricorn, has a certain resemblance to mine. I think you will have the chance to uncover a wealth of material about where you came from, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a lot of footwork and reinterpretation.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need for you to get a t-shirt that says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh no, not another learning experience.â&#x20AC;? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are not about to have an embarrassing stumble that could in retrospect be euphemistically referred to as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;learning experience.â&#x20AC;?

On the contrary, the educational events youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be communing with will be pretty pleasurable, and will more closely resemble a hop, skip, and a jump than a stumble.

>7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m inclined to prophesy that in the days to come, you may be able to read the minds of people whose actions are critical to your success. I also suspect that you will know exactly what to do in order to banish a minor health problem. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m even tempted to believe that when you gaze into the mirror you will be more intrigued than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in a while. Have you ever heard a bird sing a song just for you? Did you ever find a small treasure you assumed was lost forever? Developments like those are in the works. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one catch: To get the most out of this grace period, you will have to summon more faith in yourself than you usually do.

INTENTIONALLY INTENTIONAL If you could wave a magic wand and create a perfect community made up of family, or friends, or good neighbors, or any combination of these, where you actually choose where and how and who you share your environment with, where you enjoy similar interests and ideas, a community that shares tasks, has common goals and self-governs, where each resident owns their own private space, and may join in or not as they wish, where each resident is respected and listened to; if this kind of community interests you, you will be happy to learn that it now exists in Aptos and currently has one available condo for sale.

Imagine a beautiful large parcel of land with bright red tulips and yellow daffodils blinking in the sun, lush green lawns and garden areas for you to create, plant all the veggies you want, a play yard where your children can safely play, friends to share dinner with a few times a week, in summer on the outside terrace with surrounding fragrant jasmine where summer meals are enjoyed al fresco, monthly meetings with your neighbors to share new ideas and plans and activities with, where your voice has an equal say in what happens.

A place where you need never feel alone, but have a built-in support group, it exists and it has a name: New Brighton Co housing. A compact, organized community of eleven housing units and extensive common areas, with residents’ ages ranging from 4-64. New Brighton Co housing is an eclectic group of wonderful, diversified, and like-minded folks concerned about the environment, sharing resources, who are looking for a match that will compliment their community, and enhance the life of the group as a whole.

Besides all the bountiful things above, a two bedroom, two full bath unit is being offered.

This unit has a private patio off the dining room, a good sized and fully equipped kitchen, a large living room, lots of closets, and a sunny balcony to enjoy off the master bedroom with an extensive view of the grounds. This unit has new carpeting, and is in impeccable condition. It is located near a riparian corridor and convenient to beaches, shopping, parks and trails. Shared laundry facilities are located on the premises.

This unit is offered at below market price, $287,000, and comes with the community you may have only dreamed of—you are invited to visit the open house this Sunday, March 28, from noon until 4pm. The best of both worlds is available, your own home, common areas to enjoy, people you want as your neighbors, not strangers next door or down the street you may never meet. Bring your questions and see for yourself what this community has to offer you and what you may bring to them. Please feel free to call with any questions.
