ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 29 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 If you live in Gaza, you don't have easy access to Kentucky Fried Chicken. The closest KFC restaurant is 35 miles away in the Egyptian city of El-Arish. But there was a time when you could pay smugglers to bring it to you via one of the underground tunnels that linked Egypt to Gaza. Each delivery took four hours and required the help of two taxis, a hand cart, and a motorbike. (Alas, Egypt destroyed most of the tunnels in early 2014.)

I recommend, Aries, that you be as determined and resourceful to make your longed-for connections as the KFC lovers in Gaza were. Halloween costume suggestion: smuggler, bootlegger, drug-dealer, black-marketeer.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 It's urgent that you expand your options. Your freedom of choice can't lead you to where you need to go until you have more possibilities to choose from. In fact, you're better off not making a decision until you have a wider selection. To playfully drive home this point to your subconscious mind, I suggest that this Halloween you consider disguising yourself as a slime mold. This unusual creature comes in more than 500 different genders, at least 13 of which must collaborate to reproduce. Here's a photo: bit.ly/yellowslime.

GEMINI May21–June20 In the animated sci-fi TV sitcom Futurama, Leela is the mutant captain of a spaceship. In one episode, she develops an odd boil on her hindquarters. It has a face and can sing. The actor who provides the vocals for the animated boil's outpouring of song is Gemini comedian Craig Ferguson, whose main gig is serving as host of a late-night TV talk show on CBS. Telling you this tale is my way of suggesting that you consider going outside your usual niche, as Craig Ferguson did, to offer your talents in a different context. Halloween costume suggestion: Kim Kardashian as a nurse wearing ebola protective gear; science educator Neil deGrasse Tyson as a male stripper; a cat wearing a dog costume, or vice versa.

Native American hero Sitting Bull (1831-1890) was a renowned Lakota chief and holy man. He led his people in their resistance to the U.S. occupation of their land.

How did he become so strong and wise? In large part through the efforts of his doting mother, whose name was Her-Holy-Door. Let's install her as your exemplar for now. May she inspire you to nurture beauty and power in those you love. May she motivate you to be adroit as you perform your duties in service to the future. May the mystery of her name rouse you to find the sacred portal that ushers you to your next big gift. Halloween costume suggestion: a sacred portal, a divine gateway, an amazing door.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 This is one of those rare times when it's OK for you to just throw out the dirty dishes that you are too lazy to wash. It's also permissible to hide from a difficult person, spend money on a supposedly foolish indulgence, eat a bowl of ice cream for breakfast, binge-watch a TV show that provokes six months' worth of emotions in a few hours, and lie in bed for an extra hour fantasizing about sex with a forbidden partner. Don't make any of these things habits, of course. But for now, it's probably healthy to allow them. Halloween costume suggestion: total slacker.

Our evolutionary ancestors Homo erectus loved to eat delicious antelope brains. The fossil evidence is all over their old stomping grounds in East Africa. Scientists say that this delicacy, so rich in nutrients, helped our forbears build bigger, stronger brains themselves. These days it's harder but not impossible to make animal brains part of your diet. The Chinese and Koreans eat pig brains, and some European cuisines include beef brains.

I'm confident, however, that your own brain will be functioning better than ever in the coming weeks, even if you don't partake of this exotic dish. Be sure to take advan-

tage of your enhanced intelligence. Solve tough riddles!

Think big thoughts! Halloween costume suggestion: a brain-eating Homo erectus.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 “The egromenious hilarity of psychadisical melarmy, whether rooted in a lissome stretch or a lusty wobble, soon defisterates into crabolious stompability. So why not be graffenbent?” So said Noah's ex-wife Joan of Arc in her interview with St. Crocodile magazine. Heed Joan's advice, please, Libra. Be proactively saximonious.

I'M KIDDING! Everything I just said was nonsense. I hope you didn't assume it was erudite wisdom full of big words you couldn't understand. In offering it to you, I was hoping to immunize you against the babble and hype and artifice that may soon roll your way. Halloween costume suggestion: a skeptic armed with a shock-proof bullshit-detector. (For inspiration, check out these visuals: http://bit.ly/bsdetector.)

SCORPIO In HBO's famous TV drama, a high school chemistry teacher responds to his awful luck by turning to a life of crime. The show's title, Breaking Bad, refers to what happens when a good person cracks and veers over to the dark side. So then what does "breaking good" mean?

Urbandictionary.com defines it like this: "When a criminal, junkie, or gang-banger gets sweet and sparkly, going to church, volunteering at soup kitchens, and picking the kids up from school." I'm concerned that you are at risk of undergoing a similar conversion, Scorpio. You seem so nice and kind and mild lately. I guess that's fine as long as you don't lose your edge. Halloween costume suggestion: a criminal with a halo, a sweet and sparkly gang-banger, or a Buddhist monk junkie.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 I've got two possible remedies for your emotional congestion. You might also want to make these two remedies part of your Halloween shtick. The first remedy is captured by the English word “lalochezia.” It refers to a catharsis that comes from uttering profane language.

The second remedy is contained in the word “tarantism.”

It means an urge to dance manically as a way to relieve melancholy. For your Halloween disguise, you could be a wildly dancing obscenity-spouter.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You are at a point in your astrological cycle when you deserve to rake in the rewards that you have been working hard to earn. I expect you to be a magnet for gifts and blessings. The favors and compliments you have doled out will be returned to you. For all the strings you have pulled in behalf of others' dreams, strings will now be pulled for you. Halloween costume suggestion: a beaming kid hauling around a red wagon full of brightly wrapped presents.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Two physicists in Massachusetts are working on technology that will allow people to shoot laser beams out of their eyes. For Halloween, I suggest that you pretend you have already acquired this superpower. It's time for you to be brash and jaunty as you radiate your influence with more confidence. I want to see you summon reserves of charismatic clout you haven't dared to call on before.

Costume suggestion: The X-Men mutant named Cyclops or the legendary Native American creature known as the thunderbird, which emits lightning from its eyes.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The African nation of Swaziland has passed a law prohibiting witches from flying their broomsticks any higher than 150 meters above ground. That will a big problem for Piscean witches. There is currently an astrological mandate for them to swoop and glide and soar as high and free as they want to. The same is metaphorically true for all Piscean non-witches everywhere. This is your time to swoop and glide and soar as high and free as you want to. Halloween costume suggestion: high-flying witch, a winged angel, the Silver Surfer, or a mythic bird like the Garuda.

<4 attended those rallies and marches and the group that acted to disrupt the demonstrations and the meetings were a very small fraction of that whole. No one believes that Ms. Sherman was among them.

Did KSBW intend that we might connect the violent images they showed with the peaceful person that they were talking about? Duh! It wouldn't have been fair if they'd shown equally violent images when “reporting” on Neal Coonerty's

Camilla discovered the wonders of an expertly-fitted bra, and panties that framed her assets to pin-up perfection...

She had to share her discovery immediately.

Berkeley protest days, or if they'd tried to smear Cynthia Mathews in a similar vein, and it isn't fair this time.

Some people will be swayed by this tactic, they know that. If you were considering staying home ... this might be reason enough to step up and cast your vote against this outsider's cynical approach to our community's election.

GT’s guide to this year’s local candidates and measures in Santa Cruz County BY ARIC SLEEPER, ROSEANN HERNANDEZ AND JACOB PIERCE DISTRICT 4 COUNTY SUPERVISOR GREG CAPUT Among many South County residents, Greg Caput has earned the reputation of being a working person’s candidate.

He’s donated $65,000 of his salary over the past four years to charity.

He tried unsuccessfully to cut supervisor pay, and unsuccessfully again to keep it from from going up.

Caput often goes to bat for everyday constituents who have a hard time navigating government bureaucracy.

Caput has also worked on flood safety around the Pajaro River. Many county politicos have chastised Caput, however, who has been on the losing side of many 4-1 votes, and branded him an ineffective voice for South County for not getting more resources to his under-developed district.

SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL (3 OPEN SEATS) DAVID TERRAZAS Santa Cruz City Councilmember David Terrazas was elected to

CRAIG BUSH Out of all the Santa Cruz City Council candidates, Craig Bush certainly has the biggest ideas.

He has a vision for water that would create “super filtration,” recycled water, which could be put in the river during the summer to restore salmon habitat. During the winter, he says the water could recharge the Purisima Aquifer or be exported to other regions.

Bush, who declined all financial contributions, also wants to tear up the coastal railroad tracks and put in a bike highway instead.

Underneath the tracks, he wants to put a pipeline for water, and, alongside them, organic farms.

CYNTHIA CHASE Cynthia Chase is the director of Gemma, which works to integrate incarcerated women back into society. In the past, she worked as a probation officer. Now that she has seen both sides of criminal justice, she says her background has fostered an “understanding that issues are far more complicated than we give

them credit for.” Chase says her perspective of seeing both sides has helped her in all policy discussions, not just ones about public safety.

Once a beneficiary of Measure O housing, Chase credits affordable housing with allowing her to stay in Santa Cruz. In order to keep rents affordable city-wide, she’s interested in revisiting the rental inspection ordinance and relaxing regulations for accessory dwelling units—makeshift housing units that include converted garages.

GARY A. KNUTSON Gary A. Knutson, a retired county auditor, is pushing for greater financial transparency. He has suggestions for the city’s water supply, too—including recycled water, increased storage, and tiered rates to encourage conservation.

Knutson would also like to provide vocational training options to the city’s addicts, homeless and mentally ill. Knutson hasn’t accepted any donations in his campaign. “What I’m most interested in is people looking at my record and my ideas, and making a decision about what they want,” he says.

RICHELLE NOROYAN Richelle Noroyan supports a tax to fund local roads, a temporary moratorium on evicting people from safe accessory dwelling units, and continued oversight of the local needle exchange program. She would also support a roaming needle exchange that lessens the impact on the Emeline neighborhood. Former chair of the Santa Cruz County Democratic Party, Noroyan ran for City Council two years ago. This time, she has stressed public safety more in her

LEONIE SHERMAN Leonie Sherman, a self-defense instructor, supports a fourpronged approach to dealing with homelessness. It includes treatment for people suffering from mental illness, treatment for addicts, the continued expansion of the Project 180/180 program’s “housing first” model, and early intervention for people showing signs of antisocial behavior with a recuperative care center. Sherman, also a water activist and longtime opponent of desalination, says fixing the city’s water shortage will take a multi-pronged approach too. She says conservation will be only part of the solution and that recycled water and water-neutral development will likely play important roles, too.

BRUCE VAN ALLEN Former mayor Bruce Van Allen has long been a champion of the San Lorenzo River, looking for ways to activate it, enliven it, and make it a crown jewel of the city. “The river is a back alley, when it should be the centerpiece of Santa Cruz,” Van Allen recently told the Chamber of Commerce. Van Allen, a water activist, was a vocal advocate of the city’s proposed desal plant, partly for its big carbon footprint.

Van Allen has also said the city’s focus on economic development and public safety has marginalized some of the town’s less fortunate, including the homeless.

TERRY MEDINA Former Watsonville Police Chief Terry Medina has openly criticized Caput’s leadership, and says the sitting supervisor isn’t tackling the region’s pressing problems. “The issues here are really critical: water, labor, and the economy as it relates to jobs,” Medina says. A moderate conservative (like Caput), Medina wants to pursue recycled water and explore the possibility of sharing Moss Landing’s proposed desal plant.

He also wants to retain important businesses, support citizenship for immigrant workers in local fields, and hire a new county economic development coordinator—one specifically for south county.

the Council in 2010, running on a campaign focused largely on public safety and economic development.

Additionally, Terrazas, the only incumbent in the race, is focusing efforts on improving Cowell Beach’s water quality, which frequently ranks as the worst in the state.

Terrazas created a neighborhood grant program to fund a community-led improvement project and got the ball moving on the forthcoming Parks Master Plan, too. “We haven’t done enough to maintain and protect our parks,” says Terrazas, who calls them the “city’s most important resources.”

campaign, but she says her views haven’t changed. “I was just as concerned about these issues last time,” Noroyan says. “I am trying to be clearer about how I feel, and learning to express myself better.”

Noroyan, a member of the city’s transportation and public works commission, works in community relations at UCSC.

Councilmember Lowell Hurst taught agriculture and agricultural science at Watsonville High School. Hurst, who is running unopposed in district 3, is the longest-serving member of the city council. He serves on the Solid Waste Countywide Task Force and is an alternate for the Regional Transportation Commission. Hurst says he looks forward to working on public safety, crime prevention and economic improvement initiatives during his next term.

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL - DISTRICT 4 EDUARDO MONTESINO A bus driver with Santa Cruz Metro, Eduardo Montesino was elected to the city council in 2010, having run unopposed. He is more politically savvy than his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vote for the Bus Driverâ&#x20AC;? campaign posters would suggest. Incumbent Montesino out-fundraised opponent Jimmy Dutra by almost two-to-one, and he secured the endorsement of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic Party. He was against Measures H, I, and Jâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all of which passed in June 2014.

Those charter amendments limit a city councilmemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to fill vacancies, establish a mayoral rotation, and restrict the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to name new public places, respectively. Montesino is a proponent of youth programs and, while on the council, oversaw the implementation of the Youth City Council and a summer youth job program.

JIMMY DUTRA Third generation Watsonville resident Jimmy Dutra is passionate about his hometown and wants to change the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrative to one of prosperity and opportunity.

The first person in his family to graduate from college, the Santa Clara University alumnus interned in the Bill Clinton White House administration and worked on gubernatorial campaigns. He won an endorsement from Watsonville Regional Airport Promotion, which opined that Dutra â&#x20AC;&#x153;brings fresh independent thinking to managing

Watsonville City affairs.â&#x20AC;? Dutra wants to work with the local agricultural industry and tech sectors to bring innovative and sustainable jobs to Watsonville.

He believes the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown improvement initiative, which in part calls for transforming a stretch of Main Street into two lanes from four, is a waste of city funds. He would rather see money spent on business development and incentives.

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL - DISTRICT 5 DANIEL DODGE Daniel Dodge has been a part of the civic fabric of Watsonville for decades, having served on the Planning Commission for more than 10 years before he won a city council seat in 2010, after helping to bring district elections to Watsonville in the 1980s. A certified paralegal, Dodge worked in the local cannery industry for many years, and was active in the labor movement. As city councilmember, he has served on the governing boards of the Santa Cruz Metro Transit District and the Local Agency Formation Committee (LAFCO). He wants to continue to work on improving the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure and regional transportation issues, if elected.

REBECCA GARCIA Retired educator and school administrator Rebecca Garcia worked at Pajaro Valley Unified School District for 18 years. Garcia is an active volunteer and advocate for education in the county.

Currently mentor for Cabrillo College students, she serves on the board of the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Watsonville Parks and Recreation Commission. Garcia believes the council should build an educated workforce and provide linkages between businesses, agriculture, local schools and Cabrillo College, thereby promoting sustainable technical jobs. On issues of public safety, Garcia wants more patrols on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive slough trail system and an increase in neighborhood watch groups, as well as coordination

between neighborhoods and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighborhood services division.

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL - DISTRICT 6 NANCY BILICICH Director of Watsonville/Aptos Adult School, Councilmember Nancy Bilicich has deep ties to the community: both her parents were born in Watsonville, and she is a Watsonville High School alumna.

Appointed to the City Council in 2009 to fill a vacancy left when Councilmember Dale Skillicorn died, Bilicich was elected to the City Council in 2010, running unopposed. Bilicich is running unopposed this time as well. She wants to continue to work on flood control and levy issues in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east side, as well as work to bring additional fire protection to Districts 6 and 7, which saw much development in recent years.

Bilicich also wants the Council to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;business-friendlyâ&#x20AC;? and to build on the introduction of a new McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown by attracting new businesses to help renovate downtown.

SCOTTS VALLEY CITY COUNCIL (3 OPEN SEATS) STEPHANY AGUILAR I want to keep working for the community,â&#x20AC;? says Stephany Aguilar, a Scotts Valley councilmember of 18 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is always my inspiration.â&#x20AC;? Aguilar has also worked 10 years in personnel and training at the city of Palo Alto. Aguilar wants to continue strengthening public safety, affordable workforce housing and the sustained economic vitality of Scotts Valley. Aguilar worked to initiate the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks and Recreation Department and also founded Parks and Recreation Advocates, which raises funds for the implementation of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks master plan.

JIM REED If re-elected, Scotts Valley Mayor Jim Reed hopes to complete Scotts Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Town Center project, and plans to maintain a keen

focus on the city’s sense of fiscal responsibility. “We have to be extremely vigilant in our spending decisions as we go forward,” says Reed. When it comes to accomplishments from previous terms, Reed points to spending cuts he pushed through during the recession, and repairs he helped to facilitate at Vine Hill Elementary School. Prior to his first term on the council, Reed worked as a marketing executive in tech and served a stint as the general manager and editor of the Scotts Valley Press-Banner.

RUSS PATTERSON The only newcomer in the Scotts Valley City Council race, Russ Patterson says the council would benefit from some new blood. “I think that we need a change on the council,” says Patterson, a retired Campbell police captain, and 28-year Scotts Valley resident.

“Santa Cruz has term limits. We don’t have those here, but I think that, after an amount of time, we need to bring new life to the council.” Patterson has served on the board of the Red Cross of Santa Cruz County, works independently as an emergency preparedness consultant, and is the current chair of the Scotts Valley Planning Commission. He wants to prioritize bringing in successful businesses, making improvements to the city’s permitting process, and creating a deal to bring recycled water for Pasatiempo Golf Course. “I know the ins and outs of government fairly well,” says Patterson. “Plus, with my experience as chair of the planning commission, I know where Scotts Valley is going.”

CAPITOLA CITY COUNCIL (3 OPEN SEATS) STEPHANIE HARLAN Stephanie Harlan, 24-year veteran of the Capitola City Council, was the city’s first female mayor. She wants to maintain the distinct character of Capitola by focusing on public safety, improving city streets, and keeping the city’s fiscal activities sound through

careful planning. She believes that the experience she has gained as a councilmember for more than two decades gives her the foresight to succeed during another term. Before her long career as a councilmember, Harlan worked as a registered nurse for Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital for 18 years, and moved to Capitola in 1972. She then began to volunteer in the community before being elected to the city council in 1984. She currently serves on the Criminal Justice Council and the Santa Cruz County Conference and Visitors Council.

MIKE TERMINI Capitola City Councilmember Mike Termini is a big supporter of the county library system, and is determined to see the groundbreaking of a new library in Capitola in the next couple of years.

He is also committed to improving roads and sidewalks, and wants to put more money into maintaining the Capitola Wharf. “Someday, the right storm could take that wharf out, and I don’t know if we’ll ever have the money to rebuild it,” he says. “So we have to be careful and sink some money into the wharf.

No pun intended.”

JACQUES BERTRAND Although Capitola City Council candidate Jacques Bertrand has yet to win a seat on the city council after two attempts, he has worked with many community organizations since he moved to Capitola 16 years ago. He has experience on the General Plan Advisory Committee and the Finance Advisory Committee. An engineer by trade, Bertrand, who recently got a master’s degree in public policy, is concerned with the future of the Capitola Mall and the walkability of city streets, among other issues, but his primary goal is to develop more avenues for the Capitola government to engage city residents.

JOE CLARKE Joe Clarke has 27 years of experience working in local law enforcement, 19 with the Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Office. An avid lover of the ocean, Clarke helped to organize the Santa Cruz

Scholastic Surf League, and has worked as a surf instructor for wounded veterans. He also helped develop activities for local youth like the Live Oak baseball and soccer leagues. Clarke is focused on public safety issues, and opposes Measure M, which would increase the Capitola Transient Occupancy Tax from 10 percent to 11 percent. If elected, Clarke would make himself readily available to Capitola residents. “I think city councilmembers need to be very approachable and out there in the community.”

RICHARD FITZPATRICK First-time candidate Richard Fitzpatrick, who served as a social worker for 15 years in New York before moving to Capitola in 1972, says that although he is running for city council, he is not a politician. “I’m just an everyday person,” he explains. He believes that what he thought was a nonpartisan election is far from it. “It was a rude awakening,” he says.

Fitzpatrick is against the proposed roundabout on Capitola Avenue, and would like to see improvements to the city’s beaches, namely a walkway that cuts through the sand so that mothers with strollers and the elderly can better access the shore. Fitzpatrick, who also worked as a real estate broker for 15 years, supports Measure M, and points out that surrounding areas like Santa Cruz have already adopted similar tax increases.

LAURIE HILL Although this year’s Capitola City Council race is Laurie Hill’s first, she comes equipped with an extensive, 35-year career in local governments. She retired as a senior personnel analyst in labor relations for Santa Cruz County.

Hill’s experience wasn’t the only driving force behind her decision to run for city council. She became immersed in the community through her involvement with the Capitola Begonia Festival. “That’s what really lit my fire,” says Hill.

“I suddenly found myself in a place that I feel passionate about.” If elected in November, Hill wants to facilitate the repair of Capitola’s

streets, and will seek to revitalize the council’s engagement with the city residents, so that they are better aware of local government’s plans before they are implemented.

LOCAL MEASURES MEASURE K: COUNTY CANNABIS BUSINESS TAX Measure K, a 7 percent tax increase on the sale of medical marijuana in the unincorporated regions of the county, would bring in $900,000 annually to Santa Cruz County’s general fund. The measure, which was unanimously approved by the county’s board of supervisors, would tax medical marijuana dispensary owners—and not growers—on a monthly basis.

Financial records of the marijuana businesses would be subject to scrutiny by the county, and any misrepresentations of income or a failure to pay up could result in a misdemeanor. If found guilty of violating the ordinance, business owners could be fined up to $500 and serve upward of six months imprisonment, possibly both.

Supporters argue the tax could offset costs of medical marijuana regulation, although the ordinance states that the money obtained through the tax is not intended for medical marijuana regulatory purposes, but for services like police, fire, and health. Opponents say the tax is discriminatory against medical marijuana patients.

MEASURE L: SANTA CRUZ CITY CANNABIS BUSINESS TAX Much like Santa Cruz County’s Measure K, Measure L would add an additional 7 percent levy on the sales of medical marijuana by dispensary owners within Santa Cruz city limits. Each Santa Cruz City councilmember voted in favor of the change. The city estimates that the general tax, if enacted, could bring anywhere from $66,000 to $93,000 annually to the city’s general fund, which could then be applied to city services like

Supporters, including Deputy Police Chief Rick Martinez, say the revenue gained could boost city services that were hit by the recent recession. The wording of the proposed Santa Cruz ordinance is nearly identical to that of Measure K. The financial records of all “cannabis businesses” operating within the city would be accessible by the city’s finance director, and subject to punishment if not paid on a timely basis.

MEASURE M: CAPITOLA CITY TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX

At participating stores for Kids in costume.

Measure M would increase the Capitola’s Visitor Services Fee, or Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT), from 10 percent to 11 percent if passed by a majority vote, and bring the town in line with TOT rates in the City of Santa Cruz, as well as the county. All of the funds generated by the ordinance—estimated at $125,000 annually—would be placed in the Capitola general fund, and would be implemented for capital improvement projects in the city.

Those in favor of the ordinance, like Capitola City Councilmembers Mike Termini and Dennis Norton, highlight that city residents themselves are not being taxed, and say that a modest increase in hotel and motel rates would not be a burden to visitors. Still, it could help make up for the costs incurred by the hundreds of thousands of tourists who flock to Capitola each year. Opponents of the measure argue that Capitola is not a destination for well-paid business travelers, but families who may be on a limited budget. Those against the proposed ordinance, consisting mostly of business owners in the area, feel that the sales tax revenue gained from the passage of Measure O in 2012 provides ample funds for capital improvements.

“We heard some splashing, and nd then we turn around and we see the belly of this shark, and then some me water and blood all over its belly—a y—a big white belly. The dorsal fin was as about 3 feet out of the water, so we think it was a 15- to 18-foot shark, rk, and then it was thrashing around, d d, and we were just there trying to o take pictures,” says Morales, who says ys the shark was eating what looked like ke a ripped-open sea lion. The photograph grraph a of a dorsal fin, just a stone’s throw ow away from his kayak paddle, wass later confirmed by a Stanford University scientist to be that off a carcharodon carcharias—a great white shark.

Morales, who paddled to a kelp lp bed and somehow continued fishing,, sa says ys he was more amazed than scared— d— though he was that, too, especially ally afterward. When asked if the close ose encounter changed his attitude about

The re-evaluation cited, among other things, an exclusion of transient sharks, which, by definition, are those that are seen once but never again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to expect transience in our white sharks,â&#x20AC;? writes Chapple in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually study these sharks, unlike the authors of Burgess et al, and have data about their movements and residency. They have gut feelings. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see evidence of transience, let alone the 70 percent they suggest.â&#x20AC;?

Nevertheless, the paper sparked controversy about a population increase, and Chapple has spent the last eight months defending his findings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worry that people either will get complacent and think that the populationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry about sharks, or that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get scared because they think that the population is skyrocketing, which is not the case,â&#x20AC;? he says.

It will take several years of monitoring to be able to identify population trends, says Chapple, who intends to do just that, but the notion that white sharks are thriving is unfounded. Only a of couple years ago, researchers

Chapple and his team have tagged 179 sharks between 2000 and 2008, and used the photo ID data of 130 individual animals to issue the first population estimate of central Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white sharks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have our estimate, which came out in 2011, that says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about just over 200 adults and subadults in central California,â&#x20AC;? says Chappleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;219 to be exact.

Chappleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 population estimate, released in a paper titled A first estimate of white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, abundance off Central California, was much lower than anyone expected, especially compared to other apex predators, and it prompted petitions for governmental endangered species designations.

The low number was challenged recently in an open-access article published by ichthyologist and fisheries biologist George H. Burgess, which extrapolated Chappleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data and estimated the population to be over 2,000â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a number that includes the addition of juvenile white shark

JAWING <23 realized the animals live to around 70 years of age—a far cry from the long-held belief that they live for about 20 to 30 years. It’s a fact that changes the entire dynamic of white sharks as a protected species, says local shark researcher Sean Van Sommeran. “Were losing them quicker than we can replace them, and that's just the bottom line.

Because the waters are warm we've had increase in presence, but that in no way represents an increase in population,” he says.

PELAGIC PARK Van Sommeran skids his beach cruiser to a stop, an hour late to our meeting place and full of steam.

He’s the founder of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation (PSRF), an organization he began in 1992 with a mission to develop and assist projects that help protect and better understand sharks.

“There’s about 22 different species of sharks reliably in the bay,” says Van Sommeran, taking a bite of croissant. “At least on a seasonal basis. The highly migratory sharks like blue sharks, makos, threshers, salmon sharks, basking sharks, white sharks, those are the ones that come in seasonally.”

He speaks with the surfer-lilt of a Santa Cruz local, and doesn’t hide his massive grudge against many of the credentialed ichthyologists, or fish scientists, working in the area—at whom the self-proclaimed “bluecollar scientist” has a long history of gnashing his teeth and thumbing his nose.

“I’m despised in a lot of circles,” says Van Sommeran. “But I was born and raised here, so I had a lot of unfair advantages, you know. I saw my first shark when I was 12.”

Despite his smug shroud of ego and a propensity for dramaticized rants, his undeniable passion and years of self-made experience make him likeable. Van Sommeran has been more than busy for the past two weeks, in the wake of an alleged Sept. 17 shark attack on a surfer at Manresa State Beach. He has a nose for shark reports, which he follows up on meticulously, making

a point to bust false white shark reports—a common category which he’s convinced the Sept. 17 attack falls into.

“Based on a look at the surfboard, there’s not a single indicator of a shark attack on the surfboard,” says Van Sommeran of the surfboard that allegedly appeared briefly for sale on Craigslist following the media buzz.

“And then talking to the investigators and journalists, it became apparent that there were no witnesses, and the story was different depending on who it was told to. So, to me, it’s a slim chance that it was a true story right there.”

This time of year sends Van Sommeran out to beaches to identify salmon sharks (commonly mistaken for small white sharks) and frequently flying in helicopters to look for the giant creatures from above. “When they’re around, they’re hard to miss when you have a 20-foot shark close to the beach.” And come close to the beach they often do; sharks have been known to stream through the surf zone, and can swim in as little as 10 feet of water.

“There are pockets—the cement ship has them, the river mouths.

It’s not so much a landmark or feature [that attracts them] so much as the movement of schooling fish which pull in harbor seals and dolphins, and the sharks will just go there because of the noise,” says Van Sommeran. “Like teenagers looking for a keg party, they’ll just hear it and go to it. It’s not because the house is nice, it’s just because they hear all the birds, the lunging whales, and all of that stuff makes noise. All of it is acoustic.”

But attacks on humans are rare.

In July of 2012, a white shark used a kayak as a chew toy, but the kayaker was unharmed, and Van Sommeran says a shark attack is really the last thing a boater or a surfer should worry about. “Humpbacks don’t attack people very much less than white sharks do. The last near-fatal injury in Monterey Bay [Manresa] was in the ’60s,” he says. There was also a fatal injury in 1952 and another in the ’80s off Pacific Grove.

But in Santa Cruz County, there have

been fewer than 10 reported shark attacks since the 1880s, and none of them fatal, according to a July 2012 report in the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

Homo sapiens simply aren’t on a shark’s menu. “Sharks are incredibly discerning,” says Chapple, who recently put cameras on the backs of sharks in South Africa, finding that they often charge a prey item on the surface only to bail out at the last second. “So you realize that that shark knew enough, going 15-20 mph after this thing, that it was not what it wanted [to eat] so it left,” he says.

And despite the misconceived notion that shark populations are on the rise, and therefore shark attacks are on the rise, Chapple says the shark attack rate has gone down precipitously in the past 50 years, despite an increase of people in the water.

Like “Sharktober,” a phrase Van Sommeran says he coined during the annual Shark Fest event he helped put on at the Santa Cruz Wharf each year between 1992 and 2004— pelagic is a term he says he’s also popularized. “It’s actually an archaic Greek word, says Van Sommeran. “It refers to the open ocean, high seas, offshore—which most of the earth’s surface is composed of. Most people look at it backwards.”

In 2000, Van Sommeran says PSRF put the first tags on white sharks in the Monterey Bay and off California, tracking four sharks to Hawaii and then the central Pacific, to a zone commonly referred to as the “white shark café.” His data proved that white sharks were in fact pelagic.

“It was revelational data, I had said as early as 1996 that we suspected as much,” says Van Sommeran. “At that time all of the conventional wisdom showed that sharks were coastal, and they freely admitted that that was their theory. Another researcher, Scot Anderson, concurrently, separately, attached two transmitters at the Farallones that also went out there,” he says. It put Van Sommeran at odds with credentialed scientists, including Barbara Block and Bernie LaBoeuf, who, he says, published a scientific article in Nature Journal and left him out of it “to punish me, for, you know, being so smug and disrespectful previously.” After he sued Block for stealing his data, and won, she sued him through the Marine Sanctuary for violating his permits by illegally filming. While he says the charges were dropped in 2004, Shark Fest was moved to Monterey that same year, after Van Sommeran was ushered offstage by

THE REAL PREDATORS While humans’ fear and fascination with white sharks is perpetuated and sensationalized for monetary gain—i.e, the less-scientific shows on Shark Week—it’s humans that pose the greatest risk to sharks. ln 1994, California Assembly Bill 522 effectively prohibited the taking of white sharks for commercial or recreational purposes. It was a measure the local chapter of the Surfrider Foundation and the PSRF were instrumental in passing.

“At that time, there were a bunch of knuckle-dragging dudes that just wanted to go up there and feed sharks,” says Van Sommeran. “A lot of other areas had become fished out, South Africa and Australia, and so there was a lot of attention to our area, from all over the world really, and so we nipped it in the bud.”

But white sharks’ protection in California waters only keeps them safe for part of their migration, and doesn’t rule out accidental catches by fisheries, which often catch young sharks, especially in Southern California. There’s also a huge take by artisanal fisheries in Mexico, says Chapple.

“There is a lot of concern that when the sharks go off to the café that they’re in these international waters that are more or less unregulated—and that’s the place that there could be significant detriment to the population. If you’re talking about going to the middle of the café, where all of the sharks from Mexico and from central California seem to aggregate to some degree, if there’s a lot of fishing pressure there it could pretty quickly have a significant effect. And we’re talking about animals that live at least up to 70 years,” says Chapple.

Only last year, California Assembly

Bill 376 was signed into law, prohibiting the possession and trade of shark fins in California. But Van Sommeran warns that it’s not easy to stop; shark fins are extremely easy to stack and trade—and very lucrative.

It’s a problem that increased in the ’70s and throughout the ’80s, with the introduction of monofilament gill nets, which quickly replaced harpoons in the fishing industry.

“You could catch more swordfish in a single night than you could have all summer. And so the price stayed high, but the supply was increased, and everyone started doing that,” says Van Sommeran. “And at that time, looking at the fishing gear and then looking at the fishing markets, it was discernable that the shark fin trade was the one that was skyrocketing. There was no end to it. it was like a 600-plus percent profit from the previous seasons, and this gear was making it all possible … So everyone that can get a market for the fins is participating.”

SENTINEL SPECIES The human-eating archetype of the Jaws-era may finally be lifting, but the real white shark in our backyard remains one of the least understood animals on the planet.

But the greatest mystery is what, exactly, adult sharks are doing when they swim out to the white shark café, which is located in the middle of the Pacific, between the southern tip of Baja and Hawaii.

One theory is that the shark café is basically the scene of a giant orgy; and that the males are moving across isoclines in search of traces of female pheromones.

Working to decode some of the mysteries surrounding the ocean’s apex predators, Chapple believes that a better understanding of white sharks may provide insight into the total health and relationship of the ocean.

“Sharks are at the top, they’re up there with orcas,” says Chapple.

“They’re like your lions on the Serengeti, they are what maintain what’s under them, keep things in balance.”

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the talking fauxblood-encrusted doll that shrieks out at the grocery store or seeing a fake ax coming out of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head, Halloween can be straightup terrifying to the young mind. To keep the festivities nightmare-free and completely PG, the Seymour Center invites families to their annual Marine Masquerade. As director Julie Barrett Heffington explains, life is scary enough without all the ghouls and ghosts; this is an opportunity to witness the magic of marine life under the cover of nightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; with just the right touch of spooky spirit. Kidlets will get the opportunity to feel the slimy, scaly creatures in the touch tables, as well as take part in scavenger hunts, face painting, Halloween crafts, the costume parade, and see the 78-foot whale skeleton aglow at night.

Info: 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 31, Seymour Marine Discovery Center, 100 Shaffer Road, Santa Cruz. 459-3800. $6-$8.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become somewhat of a tradition at the Crepe Place for bands to dress up as other bands for All Hallowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve and then play an all-cover set. This year, the show is the day after Halloween, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be no less insane. Bear Lincoln headlines the show as Michael Jackson, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll perform Thriller. Moon Cadillac is a little more vague and performing as a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s disco group, playing a ton of superfly disco tunes. Babewatch says they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;performing a

Halloween zombie surf set.â&#x20AC;? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what that means, but it sounds amazing.

DAY OF THE DEAD CONCERT â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monster Mashâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thrillerâ&#x20AC;? might be quintessential Halloween tunes, but for those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather take their festivities in a different direction, the New Music Works Ensemble and the Cabrillo Latin Music Ensemble team up for a music celebration in memory of the dead. In addition to music by composers Gabriella Ortiz, Peter Garland, Peter Sculthorpe, Henry Cowell, Philip Collins, and others, the evening will be interwoven with traditional songs, dances and rituals from Mexico and Colombia.

With a mix of clarinet, trumpet, violin, trombone and other instruments, this night offers an alternative to the debauchery of Pacific Avenue while the kids get their cavity groove on.

MI CASA ES TU CASA 2014: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;VISITATIONSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; For some people, Halloween means taking a day to celebrate those who have passed way. Dia de los Muertos is, after all, the Day of the Dead and in its honor, the Pajaro Valley Arts Council is inviting locals to visit ofrendas made by twenty groups and seven individual artists. With this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visitations,â&#x20AC;? these artistic altars channel the Mazahua belief that monarch butterflies return every October as the souls of the departed, serving as a message between the living and the dead. The altar exhibitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening day will include special performances by William Faulker, Folklorico dancers from UCSC, and the White Hawk Aztec Dancers.

Info: 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Exhibit runs Oct. 29 - Dec.14, Pajaro Valley Arts Council, 37 Sudden St., Watsonville. 588-3741. Free.

Composing Himself

Chris Pratorius on the art, community and addictive quality of writing music BY CHRISTINA WATERS

C

‘

omposing is addictive,” admits the man at the keyboard. It can start with a poem, or a melodic idea. From there to keyboard, to written score, to computer editing, and finally a print-out of the musical score. Move over Beethoven—this is the new era of musical composing and Chris Pratorius is in the thick of it.

Currently revising one of his operas, Pratorius recalls a recent commission for vocal ensemble set to poems by Federico García Lorca.

“I looked for a thread in the poetry,” explains Pratorius, an acclaimed Santa Cruz-based composer who teaches music at UCSC and Cal State University, Monterey Bay. “I spoke

the words over and over, looking for a thread, for interesting rhythms and flow. Then I wrote one of the melodies on old-fashioned music paper,” he grins, “just focusing on one melodic line at a time.” Adding harmonies at his electronic keyboard, he then divided the music into vocal parts, guided by intuitive feel and deep background in composing and music history. His initial drafts of pencil on lined staff paper look like calligraphy augmented by areas of sheer graffiti— the first draft of a working composer.

After annotating the written score, Pratorius then inputs the draft into his Finale computer program. “The primary reason to put music into a computer is to create musical scores,”

he explains. “It’s also a way to do editing, to create another draft, and to make audio files to send to potential music publishers and commissioning agencies.” The keyboard, console and work table fill the entire dining room space of his vintage apartment in downtown Santa Cruz.

The song cycle Contraponientes is set to modal harmony which allows for many flavors of sound, he explains, and “a lot more variety” than traditional Western classical music.

“You’re always starting from within a cultural context. That makes new music like mine different from sampling, which references or collages other work.” Something like the difference between Pollock

and Warhol. The composer agrees that “people have always had trouble listening to new music. In the past, even if we hadn’t ever heard a piece, there was at least a shared musical language. Now I’m writing in a narrow tradition—this music is no longer the center of culture. But at least that means there are no restrictions,” he says, smiling broadly.

Pratorius’ maternal family comes from Guatemala, and although he was born in Houston, the composer moved often as he grew up. Guatemala, Colorado, Mendocino, Texas, and in 1991 to Santa Cruz, where he went to Cabrillo, discovered that he was good at music, and got serious. After a master’s degree in music from UCSC, Pratorius realized that he was also good at teaching, which he admits is a lot easier than composing.

Currently, Pratorius is adapting his own score for a children’s opera, My Head is Full of Colors (to be premiered next month with conductor and artistic director Nicole Paiement’s opera Parallele), into a work for a full chorus UCSC production in spring.

He opens the score on his computer, selecting sections to back so that we can hear it on “fake instruments.” I spot frequent use of dissonant chords which proceed into lyrical passages and moments of resolution. Pratorius claims to have no preference as far as compositional topics. Right now he’s saying yes to all commissions, while maintaining the “day job” that most artists require in an era that lacks royal or ecclesiastical patronage.

“The coolest part of having a work performed is meeting with the players, working on interpretation—you get to be part of the community of music making.” When pressed, Pratorius describes his own work as “lyrical, colorful, with bits of Moorish and Spanish. I’d say that I’m good at melody and mood. My music also contains some bit of darkness.”

My Head is Full of Colors was composed for Opera Parallèle by Chris Pratorius with a libretto by Nicole Paiement. The opera, based on the beloved children’s book by Catherine Friend, will be performed during National Opera Week, on Nov. 1, in the San Francisco Public Library’s Koret Auditorium. Free, open to the public.

MUSIC Jello loved Itchy-O right off the bat.

At our first show, our Creep division, a cloaked team of highly skilled provocateurs (something between belly dancers and rodeo clowns), without having any idea who Jello was, molested him hard. But even after this, he still had to be sold on signing us. He did not believe, at first, that Itchy-O could be captured on a record. But after presenting him with the EP recorded at [Denver’s] Absinthe Studios, he was sold, and we finished the full length there.

Meet the hive mind of the weirdest band going

W

hen Denver’s Itchy-O put out a record on Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label earlier this year, the resounding response was “wait, is this really a band?” And indeed, it is—a 32-member marching band that plays shows masked and refuse to reveal their identities. Their music is dark, experimental and tribal, and incorporates a lot of noise and electronics. Their performances, meanwhile, are interactive, and constantly break the fourth wall— they are even known to throw “spontaneous” shows in public spaces to unsuspecting victims.

In order to maintain their anonymity, the group only conducts interviews via email, supposedly as

a collective. In anticipation of their show Nov. 3 at Don Quixote’s, we did our best to probe their hive mind.

You guys like to keep a pretty tight lid on the band’s history, and who the members are when they’re not Itchy-O. What can you tell us?

ITCHY-O: We can neither confirm nor deny associations with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, nor are we allowed to comment on accusations of being the first successfully cloned, test-tube band, used from stem cells gleaned from Hedy Lamarr, Liberace, and Animal from the Muppets.

As a performance-art marching band, whose music inspires you?

Being comprised of so many

members, this is a real loaded-doozy of a question, but oddly enough there have been no homicides related to music picks while traveling together. We obviously are partial to those things dark and obscure, but if you step back and examine our arrangements, it’s not hard to tell that we are also greatly influenced by your earthlings’ pop-music.

You must have a pretty insane band house.

We’re kinda between places right now. Currently we’re staying with Jello Biafra and his cats in his small flat in Oakland, while the kitchen in our hollowed-out mountain in Wyoming gets remodeled.

How did you meet Jello Biafra?

You’re known for playing quite a few guerrilla performances. Now that you are playing a tour in actual venues, how will that affect the interactive nature of your shows?

The adrenaline that comes from playing virgin crowds and blowing fresh minds is absolutely addictive.

Seeing the “why is this happening?” expression on people’s faces as they surrender themselves to dancing is absolutely electrifying. But now that we are a little more well known, we have to find ways to augment these scheduled shows by crashing things here and there. But we also often hear from fans saying stuff like “I can’t wait to turn my friends on to Itchy-O,” or “my grandma is going to crap her pants!” This makes us so happy that fans are able to tap into this “exposure-energy-by-proxy.”

And touring, of course, has become another way for us to reach more and more virgins. Not to mention our production has come a long way since we went mobile. We’ve added a number of elements like taiko drummers, Chinese lion dancers, and a ton of new sophisticated gizmos like our 16-unit wireless system and digital sound board that make playing large venues as engulfing as any small intimate room, and we’re super excited to take advantage of Don Quixote’s International Music Hall.

Did you wear your masks when you were in the studio recording your album?

Of course we did. The only time we’re allowed to take them off is to clean the cat box.

Itchy-O performs at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov.3 at Don Quixote’s in Felton, $10.

‘How are going to make a fiddle sound like an electric guitar? How can we play Jimi Hendrix on the fiddle?’

— BEN MORRISON

’SCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THESE GUYS The Brothers Comatose play the songs of Hendrix, the Who and other Woodstock heroes on Halloween night at the Catalyst.

String band the Brothers Comatose play Woodstock rockers for Halloween BY BRIAN PALMER

S

an Francisco string band the Brothers Comatose have ambitious plans for their Halloween night show at the Catalyst. Maybe a little too ambitious? That’s what the five-piece began to wonder after diving into the preparation for their tribute to Woodstock Friday, at which they’ll cover the songs of Jimi Hendrix, the Who, the Grateful Dead and Creedence Clearwater Revival, among others.

Even for a folk-bluegrass ensemble as high-energy as the Brothers Comatose, the challenges quickly became obvious.

“When you’re learning tunes written by other people, and putting them in the format of a string band, which doesn’t have loud drums or a wall of guitar sound like a lot of these bands had, you start to wonder, ‘How the hell are we going to make this work?’” says Ben Morrison, who plays guitar in the group, and shares lead vocals with his brother Alex. “‘How are going to make a fiddle sound like an electric guitar? How can we play Jimi Hendrix on the fiddle?’”

But Morrison says that challenge has invigorated the group’s

members by taking them out of their comfort zones. Even though the majority of the night’s songs will be covers—Morrison confirms that a few of their own songs will work their way into the set, too—the band is planning to make this just as much of a Brothers Comatose show as it is a tribute to bands from the past.

“The songs are already written, so we’re just like, ‘OK, what can I do with this? How can I make this work for us?’” he says. “I have a lower vocal register range, so we have to change some of the keys, and I am playing different guitar

The Brothers Comatose will perform at 9 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 31, The Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $15/advance, $19/ door. For more information, call 423-1338.

chords, but we’re still a string band no matter what. We have limitations, but it’s fun to put those puzzle pieces together in our puzzle, to make it all fit. So it’s challenging, but exciting.”

Considering how much energy they’re putting into preparing for the show, it’s surprising that the Woodstock theme wasn’t even part of their original plan.

“Initially, we [wanted] to cover an album in its entirety, but we couldn’t all agree on one that would go well with our instruments,” says Morrison. “One day, our tour manager said, ‘Why don’t we do a Woodstock-themed show with songs that were played at Woodstock? That way you have a bunch of artists and songs to pick from that people know and that would be fun to play live.’”

Meanwhile, the band—which built opening gigs with established bands like Santa Cruz’s Devil Makes Three into headlining gigs and appearances at Outside Lands and other festivals—is working on the follow-up to their 2012 album Respect the Van, which Morrison says is likely to be released next spring.

“We’ve [basically] been on tour from mid-January until a couple weeks ago, so this is our first considerable block of time off,” he says. “It’s been fun to not think about shows and just to be able to work on new, interesting stuff.”

Farms rarely open their gates to the public, and this inaugural annual event is the perfect opportunity to teach the leaders of tomorrow about the beauty of nature’s nutritious gifts. There will be a market place lunch, music, food demos, children’s art, farm animal pen, arts and crafts, and, of course, a variety of produce for purchase from all over the county.

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS COMMUNITY FESTIVAL

44

Not all Halloween fun has to take place at night. In order to get there before the kids crash from candy comas, it’s probably best to celebrate during the remaining daylight hours—like at the MAH, where families can take part in traditional Mexican crafts such as tissue-paper flowers, dance to live music, enjoy performances by Grupo Folklorico Los Mejicas, and get their faces painted by Mariposa’s Art. The Dia de los Muertos festivities will be followed by a procession to Evergreen Cemetery—a time to reflect and celebrate in whatever way you choose with loved ones, community members, food and music.

Info: 3 – 7 p.m., Museum of Art & History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. 429-1964.

Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Matt Richtel seeks to understand this contradiction through the narrative of 19-year old Reggie Shaw whose texting and driving lead to the death of two scientists in 2006. “A Deadly Wandering” combines the latest findings in neuroscience, human attention, and impacts of technology on the brain with Shaw’s tragic story from the accident to prosecution and ultimate redemption. Richtel won the 2010 Pulitzer prize for several pieces that exposed the pervasive risks of distracted drivers. He will be at Bookshop Santa Cruz for a reading, discussion, and signing of his latest book.

LOCAL BAND JOLLY LLAMAS

Guitarist/vocalist Marc Cavigli recalls the early days of the Santa Cruz band Jolly Llamas, and how people would tell them, “You kind of remind me of Flight of the Concords.” It’s an understandable reaction, as he and partner Roy Behrens initially were an acoustic two-piece that played and sang funny, offbeat tunes. But the band was never about satire. They had something different in mind.

OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 4, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We have a lot of dark lyrics, but they are really happy songs on the surface level. It’s taking a more humorous and less intense look at humanity, and seeing the funniness in their fault,” Chavigli explains.

They have one song about a murderous surfer who gets eaten by a shark. Another is about a female alchemist who poisons her boyfriend, and “Haunted Heir” is about a disturbed guy who inherits a castle from his dead family, who haunt and mentally torture him. They consider “Haunted Heir” one of their darkest because of how the music contrasts with the subject manner. “[That] song is one of our catchiest. It has a happy, upbeat swing, but it tells about the exploits of this demented guy who lives alone in his castle,” Cavigli says.

In more recent years, the group has expanded from an acoustic two-piece into a four-piece rock band with bass and drum. Cavigli now plays the electric guitar, while Behrens sticks to the acoustic. Musically, they mix folk, rock and indie in an eclectic way similar to bands like Sebadoh or the Decemberists.

They perform a release show for their latest EP, Story Rock, on Thursday at the Crepe Place. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

BIG K.R.I.T.

WEDNESDAY 10/29 ROCK

JIM WHITE In the mid-1990s, Australian instrumental trio Dirty Three was putting out hypnotic, lovely avantgarde music that wandered around your mind like smoke swirling inside a bell jar. It was beautiful, chaotic and unpredictable, and it laid the foundation for yet-to-come bands like Godspeed You Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky. The mastermind drummer behind Dirty Three was Jim White, whose reputation for groundbreaking collaborations extends far beyond Dirty Three. Joining White is Cairo Gang frontman Emmett Kelly.

INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 10/30 JAZZ

ERIC REVIS QUARTET Branford Marsalis describes jazz bassist Eric Revis’ music as “the sound of doom: big, thick, percussive.” And Marsalis would know, as Revis has

been his sideman for over 15 years.

Revis has also worked with McCoy Tyner, Peter Brotzmann, Lionel Hampton and other top-tier jazz musicians, including a pre-Marsalis stint with the legendary jazz vocalist Betty Carter. In recent years, he has struck out on his own as composer and bandleader, garnering critical acclaim for his ability to put his unique touch on a variety of styles. CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $27/door. 427-2227.

RAP

BIG K.R.I.T. Justin Scott—aka Big K.R.I.T.—will go to just about any length to spread the rap gospel. Having collaborated with everyone from Wiz Khalifa, Ludacris and Lecrae in his career, and having been willing to use samples from likely sources (Beastie Boys) as well as unlikely ones (Sade), he has shown a willingness to leave no stone unturned in his pursuit of the most memorable beats and lyrics. BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.

FRIDAY 10/31 ROCK

SLUGS N ROSES/ CHINA CATS Slugs N’ Roses are not a Santa Cruzthemed Guns N’ Roses tribute band, as the name may suggest. Rather, they are a Grateful Dead tribute band (the Santa Cruz part is right) and play an energetic version of the Dead’s tunes.

Yes, we’re talking about a Grateful Dead rock ’n’ roll dance party. China Cats, on the other hand, don’t even like to consider themselves a Dead tribute band. They technically cover their tunes, but they do it more in the spirit of how the Dead could have played a show on any given night as opposed to trying to copy any specific renditions of the Dead’s songs. AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy 9, Felton, $12/adv. $15/door. 335-2800.

SAMBA/SALSA

SAMBADÁ One of the area’s most energetic bands is back for another night of fun, combining everything from salsa to samba, funk to reggae, cumbia to folk music. Sixteen years after they first formed, this

ANTSY McCLAIN

ensemble is still finding new ways to surprise fans by innovatively fusing different styles of music together as they explore classic Brazilian music, and more modern styles as well, in an effort to make you dance the night away. BP

SATURDAY 11/1 AMERICANA/HUMOR

ANTSY McCLAIN Dubbed a “small town philosopher,” singer-songwriter Antsy McClain brings a heaping dose of humor, trailer park insights, and old-fashioned fun to his songs, which are rooted in sometimes-true, sometimes-tall tales of life in the sticks. As frontman for the Trailer Park Troubadours, McClain established himself as a goodtime-loving dude who could laugh at his own circumstances. But don’t dismiss him as a novelty act; McClain is a standout Americana artist with musical and storytelling skills to boot. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20. 603-2294.

PIMPS OF JOYTIME Dance. Dance. Dance. With a band called Pimps of Joytime, you’d think they were a good-time, guilty pleasure funk band—and you’d be right. The Brooklyn group has been playing unapologetic grooves since the mid2000s, and they tour hard. They are constantly gigging, be it intimate parties or major festivals. The music primarily falls in the funk category, but like some of the ’70s greats like Funkadelic, they incorporate other styles as well (soul, Latin, rock, Afrobeat). Lyrically, these guys know how to have fun, with songs like “Janxta Funk,” “Thas The Way We Do,” and of course “Booty Text.” (“I’m sending a booty text like an S.O.S.”) AC INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $17/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

MONDAY 11/3 JAZZ

KARRIN ALLYSON Karrin Allyson is one of the most phenomenal jazz vocalists in the entire genre. For years, she has been putting together collections that rely more on subtlety and nuance than show-

stopping vocals, and whether her albums take a bluesy turn (2002’s In Blue) or offer her take on a jazz legend’s music (2001’s Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane), Allyson’s slightly raspy voice is a wonder. She holds you in her sway whether she is singing in Portuguese or English, scatting or crooning on a romantic number. BP

INFO: 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13.

Cocoanut Grove, 400 Beach St., Santa Cruz. $40. 423-2053. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 31 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

TUESDAY 11/4 REGGAE

ZIGGY MARLEY Ziggy Marley spent a number of years playing with the Melody Makers as a young man, but he has carved out his own niche since going solo over a decade ago. Not content to ride his father’s coattails, Ziggy has released a solo rock album and multiple children’s albums, in addition to his own reggae albums—including his latest, Fly Rasta, which came out in April. Ziggy’s socially conscious messages and groovy rhythms have helped him win several Grammy Awards along the way.

FILM

JUST COASTING Bill Murray rides his quirky rep when the material lets him down in ‘St. Vincent’

Not Cool OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 4, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Bill Murray’s hipster cred can’t elevate ‘St. Vincent’ BY LISA JENSEN

56

I

f the irreverent Army volunteer Bill Murray played in Stripes a few decades ago grew up to be a boozy, defeated, grumpy old man, he might be the character Murray plays in St. Vincent. Writer-director Theodore Melfi is certainly counting on Murray’s aging hipster persona to do most of the heavy lifting in this heartstring-tugging comedy about a young boy who adopts the misanthropic old geezer next door as his mentor and life coach.

Murray does an admirable job in the role, making sure his character Vincent registers as mostly unpleasant at first, without trading on the actor’s cool likeability.

The problem is, Melfi’s material doesn’t offer enough support. The comedy isn’t always funny enough to sustain our interest in Vincent or the film; it’s haphazard or cruel

at times, and without the balance of strong humor, the anarchic fizz of Murray’s appeal curdles into mean-spirited surliness. Factor in sentimental elements that tend to be canned and predictable, and we get a film that never quite hits its marks, despite a few genuinely funny and affecting moments.

Murray’s Vin is a cantankerous old coot who divides most of his time between his neighborhood bar, a sleazy strip club, and the Belmont racetrack. (The locale is apparently suburban Brooklyn, although Murray and co-star Melissa McCarthy give free rein to their broad Chicago accents.) Vin’s parttime (paid) girlfriend is Russian immigrant Daka (Naomi Watts), an exotic dancer at the club who’s now sporting a baby bump thanks to Vin. But most of the time, he’s a solitary guy, hanging around the

house with his Persian cat, Felix— at least until Maggie (McCarthy) and her son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) move in next door.

In the process of divorcing her cheating husband, and working long hours at her medical tech job at the hospital, Maggie is forced to strike a deal with Vin to look after Oliver in the afternoons after school until she gets home from work. It’s just a financial arrangement for the ever-rapacious Vin. But since it’s Vin, not his mom, who coaches him in how to deal with a bully at his new school (by socking him in the nose), the boy begins to bond with the old curmudgeon.

It’s not as if Vin’s heart warms up to the boy, exactly—although he does lighten up when Oliver picks a longshot trifecta at the track— but filmmaker Melfi begins to

leak in background information to make Vin more sympathetic. Like his service record as a decorated Vietnam vet. Or his regular visits to an assisted-living facility, where he dons a white doctor’s coat and spends time with a sweet but vague Alzheimer’s patient (Donna Mitchell).

The effect of these little glimmers of Vin’s softer side is cumulative. By the time the Irish priest (Chris O’Dowd) who teaches Oliver’s class at his Catholic school gives his pupils an assignment to find a real-life person they think qualified to be named a saint and do a report on them, we know where this movie is going.

O’Dowd’s underplayed comic performance as the deadpan priest is one of the film’s bright spots. (When Oliver hesitantly says, “I think I’m Jewish,” the priest blithely assures him the class is already populated with Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, and “I don’t knows.”) McCarthy is very effective, too, as the harried mom, especially when she has a quiet but wryly articulate meltdown in the school principal’s office.

At other times, Melfi’s comic sensibility is off. It’s bad enough that Vin chews out any poor schmoe who mouths the platitude, “It is what it is,” at him, in the face of life’s tragedies. But when someone slams his hand with a hammer, slips on the floor, and knocks himself out, only to wake up later in a puddle of blood, it’s really not funny (even though the audience laughs, hoping for the best). When all else fails, Melfi shamelessly tries to score nostalgia points with vintage ’60s rock songs like “Somebody to Love” and “One Toke Over the Line.”

These scenes work against the film’s strengths (including a lovely, if fleeting, moment between Murray and Mitchell), in a wellmeaning movie that never is quite what it wants to be.

ST. VINCENT (**1/2) With Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts, and Chris O'Dowd. Written and directed by Theodore Melfi. A Weinstein release. Rated PG-13.

102 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK

AGING GRACEFULLY Schoch’s Monterey Jack, available at local farmers markets, is the real deal. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

New revolving restaurant on the wharf, plus Cafe Ivéta and the last great Jack cheese BY CHRISTINA WATERS

T

hree years ago Germaine Akin—owner of Red Restaurant and Bar, 515 Kitchen & Cocktails, Swan/ Heavenly Goose—and her closest companions decided to make a splash in the oft-clichéd world of waterfront dining. Having taken over Carniglia’s for about a year before shutting the doors, Akin wanted to completely revamp the old wharf landmark.

“I wanted a place that would offer food that I could recommend to my friends, rather than simply cater to tourists. I wanted it to offer food that I’m proud of.”

Which meant a place that would be approachable enough to entice sunbathers, and yet sophisticated enough to meet the standards of local foodies. So when the latest dining room from this very successful restaurateur debuts— “before the end of the year”—it will serve New American comfort food, but with some lively differences.

“I wanted a sense of fun,” Akin told me over a flight of reds at Red. “And I knew that everybody who goes to the wharf wants to sit at a window. So I considered how to make every seat a seat with a view.” Here’s how: Akin

and her partners decided to make the dining room revolve around a central bar. Literally. The main seating area is a platform 32-feet in diameter that will slowly revolve, allowing diners a view of the ocean no matter what table they sit at. Executive chef for the upcoming Santa Cruz Wharf restaurant will be current 515 chef Caleb Hanscom. And the name will be—Splash! Stay tuned.

THEY KNOW JACK My pal Traci knew what she was talking about. Not only does the Schoch family make a memorable

BREAKFAST AT LULU’S Now on Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m.

– 2 p.m., you can sit down and savor a full-on breakfast at the “old Lulu's” on Pacific Avenue—omelettes, eggs, bacon, and glorious waffles loaded with bacon and berries.

CAFE FARE Cafe Ivéta’s scene is trending vigorously. At lunch last week we were impressed with a beautiful caprese sandwich filled with creamy sliced mozzarella, tomatoes and basil on a chewy ciabatta bun. Stop by for some exceptional coffee, pastries, or one of the bountiful house salads.

And don’t miss the flash-fried Brussels sprouts “popcorn” at Red, thanks to chef Herb Kettelson.

Turning Point

Monterey Jack cheese, they are in point of fact the only Monterey farmstead making Monterey Jack cheese. Hence, the “last true Monterey Jack” was what I bought at the Westside Farmers Market last week, and between Jack (the one at my house) and my mom (visiting from San Diego) there was scarcely a bite left for me to sample. This aged cheese was so good it defied the expectation of, well, the fairly simple, amiable cheesiness I tend to know as Monterey Jack.

Produced from the milk of a tiny herd of farm-raised, grass-fed cows by the second generation of dairymen whose fathers came from Switzerland to settle in the Salinas Valley, this was cheese to linger over.

Armed with a glass of Tempranillo, I sampled the complex, golden-hued creation, admiring its cheddar-like, slightly crumbly texture—not the smooth, plasticine aspect of more mundane Jack cheeses. Moderately bold, with a rich, nutty earthiness, this cheese had significant body and enough presence to partner the Tempranillo in style.

Somehow restraint arrived, and we stopped “sampling” two thirds of the way through a half-pound of Schoch Monterey Jack. I found my true Monterey Jack at the Fiesta Farm booth, but you can look for it at the Aptos Farmers Market under the “Schoch” logo. And you can pick some up at the Felton New Leaf market as well.

ooking for some blood-red wine for your Halloween party? Then I have a recommendation for a new brew.

Jim and Peggy Alberti, who have been involved in local wine for many years, are now growing grapes on the old Jarvis estate in the Santa Cruz Mountains and very recently started making wine from the fruitful harvest. This property has a lot of history, dating back to 1863 when George and John Jarvis bought 300 acres and cleared the land for vineyards. It was exciting to taste the Albertis’ estate-bottled 2012 Pinot ($33 at Vinocruz) because I have visited this beautiful piece of property a number of times and tasted the end results of many a bountiful harvest. The rich loamy soil, north/south row arrangement, and the vineyard’s elevation of 940 feet produce fine grapes— and winemaker Jim Alberti has created some excellent Pinot from the abundant crop. “Elevation is critical for maximizing the entire growing season,” he says. “And the hanging grapes experience the open morning air circulation and direct sun exposure.”

The result is a rich, bold wine with aromas of dark berries, chocolaty caramel and spicy coriander—followed by a mouthful of delicious well-balanced Pinot. Flavors of olallieberry, cranberry and chocolate add to the complexity of this fine fruitforward wine.

The Alberti Vineyard is not

open to the public, but you can always get a tasting at Vinocruz.

In fact, Alberti Vineyards will be pouring their wines at Vinocruz from 5-8 p.m. on First Friday, Nov. 7, and there will be a special on bottles purchased that night. The Halloween action might be over by then, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had. So pick up a bottle of this Pinot from Vinocruz and take it back to your coven to enjoy.

Vinocruz, 725 Front St., #10, Santa Cruz, 426-8466 (in Abbott Square off Cooper St.). Vinocruz.com.

DEER PARK WINE AND SPIRITS If you’ve spent too much on your Halloween costume but still want to go wine tasting, then head on over to the Deer Park Center in Aptos where you’ll find a hefty selection of wine and “spirits”—the good kind!

And they even do wine tasting for $1 from 3-7 p.m. on Fridays—yes, just one dollar.

ack Nine Grill and Bar, located at the Inn at Pasatiempo, opened only three months ago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently serving a limited menu and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished remodeling yet, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already making a splash in Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food world. We caught up with general manager Tim Lynch about the steakhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique spin on classic American cuisine.

When did you start remodeling?

Tim Lynch: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been about a year and nine months. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve settled on a pretty successful theme for it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of the foothills of Santa Cruz. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the beach. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great redwoods around us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a lodge feelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;warm and cozy. Real upbeat, with a fairly modern look.

It must be hard for any restaurant to go from zero to 60, open up for business, and hope things go as plannedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still remodeling.

You can never expect the way

everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to go. I have 40-some-odd years of experience.

My assistant probably has 30.

When it goes live, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to be here. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be looking at it. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be talking to your people. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be rearranging things. You might need a little bit different equipment.

How do you like your steak?

Medium rare to mediumâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the reason being, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the most juices, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where all the flavors come from.

Why are you a â&#x20AC;&#x153;grill and bar?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bar and Grillâ&#x20AC;? sounds more natural â&#x20AC;Ś The emphasis being on the grill, of course. First and foremost. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun, upbeat atmosphere. The food is critically important. The beverage should be a complement to that, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just come-inand-get-drunk-and-go-some-placeelse. Not a good combination.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES ALTARS OF REMEMBRANCE AND FORGIVENESS We’re in Scorpio now—things mysterious, ageless, hidden, sometimes scary. Friday is Halloween; Saturday, All Saints Day; Sunday, All Soul’s Day. Sunday morning at 2 a.m. (after midnight), Daylight Savings Time ends. Clocks are turned back. Tuesday is the General Election.

Our vote is our voice. Each vote matters. Applying freedom of choice—Libra’s teachings. It’s time to build Halloween, All Saints and All Souls altars— with marigolds, pumpkins, sugar skeletons, copal (incense), pomegranates, persimmons, candy corn and cookies, orange and black. It’s so Saturn (now in Scorpio). Saturn is the dweller on the threshold (like St. Peter at the gates of heaven).

Saturn can look like a Halloween creature—a gargoyle—a fantastic dragon-like creature protecting sacred sites. The dweller (Saturn) stands at the door or threshold of sacred mysteries, wisdom temples, inner sanctums of churches, offering protection, scaring evil away.

The last day of October and first two days of November, when veils between worlds thin and spirits roam about, are times of remembrance, forgiveness, reconciliation and rapprochement. These actions liberate us. At death, when reviewing our lives and the consequences of our actions if we have forgiven, then we are free, less encumbered with grief and sadness. We place forgiveness on our altars.

Happy Halloween, everyone! It’s good to dress up as what we’re afraid of. Or whom we would mentor. Then we become one with them. Note to readers: by Thanksgiving I will need a place to live (with purpose). Please contact me if you know of a place where I can rest for awhile. Teach and build community. risagoodwill@gmail.com. I will be leaving my mother’s home for the last time.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

For the next several years your task will be creating right relations and harmony with all interaction. Awareness of this allows you to understand how you’re transforming self and others. At times you may battle your way through the change, at other times resisting it. But change you will experience including your perception of enemies. Know they are simply challenges that, through conflict, set you upon the path toward peace.

You become stricter with yourself, a sign of defining who you’ve become over the past years. As we grow we have more ethics. Others you encounter may reflect this discipline.

Or they could tell you (complain) you’ve become too limited.

You must tell them you hear a new drum beat that you must follow now. Old ways, thoughts, beliefs pass away. Do not lose your sense of direction. New responsibilities grow along with great accomplishments. Go slow, see time as an asset.

Grow a pomegranate tree. Then pineapple guavas.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week Oct. 29 – Nov. 5, 2014

TAURUS Apr21–May21 There’s much more work ahead. Organizing daily life, health, assuming more responsibilities. Let’s begin with a state of acceptance. Then tend to health, adequate sleep, water, vitamins, nourishment, and daily exercise.

In fact the next several years may be all about health.

However, I know you will take on further work. Allow your health to be your focused starting point.

GEMINI May22–June20

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 Cancer is always about family, and family issues will allow you to see your true loves and creativity. Seeking to live close to loved ones, unable to separate from them, teaching them new ways of understanding the world. For Cancer professionals, home calls more and more often. Some will seek relatives and genealogy establishing a deeper sense of self through family history. Things secret come to light.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Saturn and all the planets in Scorpio allow you to reach out to siblings and family relations. It also calls you into the neighborhood, interacting with those living around you, creating relationships that are social, communicative, sharing and encouraging of others. You radiate the light of the Sun wherever you are. Be aware of this as you walk about on the streets where you live.

Radiating the light of life itself. And love, too.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You begin evaluating possessions, assessing value. You will acquire less, realizing possession become burdens.

Make sure there is a harmonious and proper placement of items within home, office and all environments— including outside. For the next thirty-six months, take special care with money—purposefully tithing to those in need. That which is given, with right relations, is returned tenfold.

CELEBRATE OKTOBERFEST

with us Thursday Nights Enjoy Bavarian Style Brews and Bites

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You’ll both detach from groups and seek them out. The detachment concerns previous groups who defined your previous self. In the coming years, beginning now, you’ll be magnetized to groups with a higher level of consciousness and sense of purpose including the idea of intentional community.

The key is integration. You’re not a leader of a group, which you could be, but an integrated group player synthesizing the group’s vision. Cooperation will be your discipline.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 People recognize you’re the best in terms of leadership, achievement, vision and productivity. Ponder deeply on positions offered (in the world or what’s needed at home).

You will be asked to function to your fullest capacity. Allow your uniqueness to make an impression in the world. This can be in your garden, in the world, with family and friends. Be calm with what’s available.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Life has become more stable. You’re beginning to understand the rules, something Aquarius has difficulty with (you understand Aquarian rules). You’re learning how to be more skillful with others. Follow rules, respect all laws. Take several long journeys, learn new things, fulfill obligations (or don’t make them) and explore a religion, philosophy or study that helps others. Tending to a flock of chickens is good.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Pay close attention to finances. Learn and ask what other people’s values are. They may not be your values. You must also ask yourself what your values are, how to best use resources and where they should be applied. This will be a challenge and an ongoing test. A new level of self-identity will be through money and resources (both having and not having).

You are shifting from domestic concerns into awareness of creativity, childhood, remembering love affairs and finding a new sense of self through what you imagine.

Saturn has brought you the structure and discipline sought after, providing awareness of what you want, don’t want, hope for, love, and the gifts you offer others.

This last one is your creativity. Play more.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 As the years (two, three) roll by, you may feel socially isolated. Consider instead that you’re being given a time of retreat and contemplation when purpose and the spiritual seek you. You’ll gather and store all endeavors connected to the other eleven signs. Seeds will grow and begin to flower.

Withdraw consciously so there is time for understanding, evaluation of things past, observing and tending self and others with kindness.
