comments@metronews.com RE: FOR DECADES, SAN JOSE’S PUBLIC ART HAS EXCLUDED HOMEGROWN TALENT, NEWS, AUG. 21

Disturbing. If San Jose overlooks its local artists, what incentive does that give for someone to contribute to the local art scene?

The hypebeast is for real, and it has moved on from fashion to food! Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen has caused a major disruption in the natural order of fast food fried chicken.

Everyone already knew about their Two-piece Tuesday deal.

It’s a great bang for your buck, just not worth the sometimesover-an-hour-long wait. You can go to KFC—Popeyes’ archenemy—instead for your fried chicken fix. But last week, Popeyes made Chick-fil-A their latest rival. I drove by my local Popeyes on San Carlos Street on Friday and the line was out the door, even longer than on a Tuesday! Was there a new three-piece deal that I wasn’t aware of? Nope. It turns out word of mouth and people’s social media catapulted their new chicken sandwich into superstardom, so much so that the very next day my Popeyes and other neighboring franchises started posting makeshift signs that read, “Sorry, we are out of chicken sandwiches” and “Nope. We don’t got ’em!” As a Popeyes fan, I’d love to try it. But since I can’t at the moment, I’ll just put a drumstick between a biscuit until the hypebeast has been slayed.

THE FLY

Santa Cortese

SVNEWS

A perk of running for higher office while holding a seat on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors includes access to a discretionary budget that can be dispensed to groups and galas to build political support.

Memo to District 3’s DAVE CORTESE: as long as you’re not too obvious about it.

The three-term supervisor has irked colleagues and county officials by requesting a slew of community grants in recent months that appear to be politically motivated, not least because several of them benefit events and organizations outside his own district.

Perhaps it’s coincidence that some of those grants went to causes in Cupertino and Campbell—towns repped by supervisors JOE SIMITIAN and SUSAN ELLENBERG, respectively—and They other locales that land Did firmly in the realm of What?

California State Senate District 15, where SEND TIPS TO FLY@ Cortese’s running to METRONEWS. succeed JIM BEALL. Alas, COM Fly didn’t get a chance to ask the elusive Cortese, who didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.

But it would be interesting to know why Cortese was the one to request $5,000 for the Community Emergency Response Team in Ellenberg’s District 4, where he also requested $1,200 for the Rose, White and Blue Parade and $1,500 for the Hamann Park Neighborhood Association’s National Night Out. Or $1,350 for KMVT 15 Silicon Valley Community Media in Simitian’s District 5 to tape an eighth-grade football game.

As a similarly labor-aligned political ally, Supervisor CINDY CHAVEZ might be more forgiving of Cortese’s grant-giving in her own District 5, where Lowell Middle School got $1,000 from him to support a beautification event spearheaded by Assemblyman ASH KALRA’s AD27 team.

But it’s hard to imagine that Ellenberg and Simitian were terribly thrilled about Cortese’s foray into their turf without at least getting them to co-sponsor grants that directly benefit organizations in those districts.

SCHOOL’S OUT Promise Academy Vice Principal Liana Pellegrino accuses SJUSD of waging a politically motivated campaign to prevent her proposed charter school from opening.

Broken Promise Charter school’s failure to launch in San Jose Unified leaves families scrambling

BY NICHOLAS CHAN

T

HE CLASS sizes would’ve been small and would’ve prepared students for coveted careers in Silicon Valley’s technology sector. That was Promise Academy’s promise.

The K-8 charter school backed

by Silicon Valley philanthropists, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and the city’s Tech Interactive museum hoped to offer some of the city’s poorest students opportunities that are sometimes harder to come by in neighborhood schools.

That’s why Adelita Gomez Alvarez joined Promise in petitioning for its charter authorization through the San Jose Unified School District.

Gomez Alvarez signed on to the effort for the sake of her son, Junior Gomez, who attended Grant

Elementary School from third to fourth grade.

Frustrated by how her son fared in the local elementary school, Gomez Alvarez transferred him to its charter counterpart, Rocketship Discovery Prep, which only offers classes through fifth grade. She hoped Promise would open in time to prevent her son from returning to a SJUSD school.

On the day of Promise Academy’s long-anticipated opening, however, Gomez Alvarez and the parents of close to 100 other children were told that the school they signed up for didn’t exist.

“I didn’t have a plan B,” Gomez Alvarez says. “Promise was my plan. I stood there crying as I toured different charter schools, trying to enroll my son.”

Promise and San Jose Unified blamed each other for the fiasco. Who bears how much responsibility for leaving parents scrambling is the subject of

debate. What’s clear is that the conflict represents a broader and intensifying clash between public schools and privately run charters, especially in cashstrapped districts like San Jose Unified that see charters like Promise as a drain on their resources. Charter proponents, on the other hand, view districts like SJUSD as defenders of the status quo, perpetuating an achievement gap that leaves the most destitute and disadvantaged students behind.

After learning that Promise’s planned opening was scuttled, the charter school deployed a public relations firm to contact local media about the situation, which largely stems from a disagreement with SJUSD over projected enrollment.

When Promise surveyed parents to get an idea of how many were “meaningfully interested” in enrolling their kids in the proposed academy, the district launched counter-surveys to challenge the results. When Promise projected rates of daily student attendance, the district responded with counter-projections.

When Promise proposed changes to its facilities agreement, according to the charter’s spokespeople, the district ignored their requests.

The back-and-forth transpired over two school years and morphed into litigation. Just days before Promise’s

have buses for parents who thought it was going to be in the downtown area.”

As a result, Promise had to delay its opening from 2018 to this year.

SJUSD officials say Allen and Steinbeck was the only available site that had “reasonably equivalent facilities” to other schools in the district. But Promise made it clear that it didn’t need locker rooms, a gym or science labs.

“It was absolutely an excuse,” Gomez Alvarez says. “When they told us that, we told them that we have decided not to include those particular amenities.

Instead, we wanted a high-quality education. But they would not budge.”

The battle over Promise is bigger than a single charter petition.

Public schools have long seen charter schools as a threat because they divert per-pupil funding and take up physical space in districts with the least resources. “Districts had always been wary of charter schools because the money follows the student,” says Robin Lake, a researcher at the Center on Reinventing Public Education.

“The teachers unions have often felt threatened by charter schools.”

Indeed, charters have become increasingly major players in the public education system since California passed the Charter Schools Act in 1992. From 2013 to 2018, SJUSD alone saw a 57 percent uptick in charter enrollment.

Though charters receive funding from the public school system, the law grants them more leeway in hopes that they’ll create more innovative curricula and learning models.

That’s what Promise said it would offer. “Our school provides a choice for students who aren’t successful in traditional schools,” says its would-be principal Samantha Hanlon.

Yet charter critics say the answer to languishing public schools isn’t to divert more resources from them.

San Jose Unified is already stretched thin, since high housing costs have driven teachers out of the South Bay in search of cheaper locales, leading to a shortage of educators. Almost 300 classrooms in the district this year are staffed with substitute teachers.

“Charter schools have become a big red herring,” Lake says. “It has become a much bigger fight around school funding.”

As the dust settles between Promise and SJUSD, it’s clear that both sides shoulder responsibility for leaving families and prospective charter employees in the lurch.

planned launch, SJUSD announced it would deny the charter’s opening because it fell short of legally required enrollment threshold. But Promise still had a card in the deck—its pending lawsuit accusing SJUSD of undercounting projected enrollment.

A week after the district denied its opening, however, Promise got hit with more bad news. Earlier this month, Santa Clara County Superior Court judge ruled that the charter’s projections were unreasonably optimistic and that SJUSD’s scrutiny was justified, having identified numerous errors in the intentto-enroll forms submitted by Promise.

The court ruling was welcome news for district officials after a summer of unresolved tension. “It is an unprecedented issue for us, dealing with this much uncertainty about what their enrollment is actually going to be,” SJUSD spokesman Ben Spielberg says.

“It was hard to ascertain what facilities what they wanted, which made it difficult for us to plan for facilities.”

That said, the district shoulders some responsibility for the ongoing brouhaha.

In 2018, a judge ruled that the district used a flawed process in rejecting petitions from families that expressed interest in Promise Academy. When SJUSD was vetting signatures by contacting the parents, it simply discarded some forms if they couldn’t make contact. And instead of following legal standards by asking whether parents were “meaningfully interested” in the proposed charter, SJUSD officials asked whether they planned to enroll their children in Promise—a seemingly subtle, yet materially significant distinction.

Consequently, the court reminded SJUSD to comply with Prop. 39, which mandates that school districts provide facilities to charter schools.

“The school district was not operating in good faith with us from the beginning,” Gomez Alvarez says.

Yolanda Samano, another mother of an aspiring Promise pupil, agrees.

“We thought this year would be different,” she says.

Yet still, the tug-of-war continued.

When Promise proposed six sites for the new school, including central locations in the heart of the city, the district offered a site several miles away at Allen and Steinbeck. “They said they didn’t have any space except for Allen and Steinbeck until a month-and-a-half before school,” Samano says. “We didn’t

BY THE NUMBERS

Silicon Valley’s Presidential Picks

BY NICHOLAS CHAN The presidential primary fundraising numbers for the second quarter of 2019 are in, and they show that Bernie Sanders leads the Democratic Party pack with $38.7 million.

Close behind him are Elizabeth Warren with $35.5 million and Peter Buttigieg with $31.9 million. How did the presidential contenders fare in Silicon Valley? Take a look.

$385,668

The combined donations to Kamala Harris’ campaign from residents of Santa Clara County. The congresswoman leads in donations from the South Bay, followed by Buttigieg and Cory Booker.

MAIN EVENT House Speaker Nancy Pelosi headlined a forum organized by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group to

commemorate the 99th anniversary of women’s suffrage.

NASA Hosts Summit on Female Leadership

BY NICHOLAS CHAN Monday marked the 99th anniversary of women’s right to vote.

To commemorate the milestone, hundreds of female leaders gathered at NASA Ames Research Center for the Women’s Leadership Summit, which featured House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) delivering the keynote address.

“They fought. They marched.

They did so much to demand and insist that it happen not only for women, but for the United States of America,” Pelosi told the audience at the event hosted by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. “It’s so important for women to have the confidence and courage to go out there and just jump into the arena.”

Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) echoed Pelosi’s sentiments. “We have to go back a ways and understand the struggle that took almost half a century to convince lawmakers that

women deserve a vote—that we could be trusted to vote,” she said.

The event venue served as a reminder of how far the nation has progressed since the advent of women’s suffrage.

And how far it has yet to come.

Soon enough, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine promised, the first woman may land on the moon. The NASA official took the occasion this week to talk about NASA’s latest mission—the Artemis Exploration program, which plans to send the first woman and the next man on the moon’s South Pole by 2024.

“The first person to walk on Mars may be a woman,” Bridenstine said.

Artemis 1 will launch in 2020 with an unmanned flight for testing.

Artemis 2 will fly with crew in 2022.

And Artemis 3 will fly in 2024 to land astronauts on the moon. Via the new Space Launch System, astronauts will dock the Orion spacecraft at the

spaceship Gateway, where there will be living quarters and a lab for research.

“Artemis is critically important for our country and the world,” Bridenstine explained. “This time when we go to the moon, we will go sustainably. We will go with international partners. We will utilize the resources of the moon.”

The project, however, faces funding shortfalls and political uncertainty. The $30 billion it would cost to see it to completion has yet to be budgeted.

The moon landing does have bipartisan backing, remarked Eshoo in an interview with the Mercury News at the women’s summit, where she promised her own unwavering support for the project. “We are poised and ready,” she told the newspaper, “and we’re going to celebrate the first woman landing on the moon in a handful of years.”

$576,638

The combined donations from people in Palo Alto, which has contributed the most of any local city. Buttigieg accounts for 18 percent of the peninsula town’s donations.

San Jose trails with $405,125 in overall donations to presidential candidates. Harris accounts for 23 percent of San Jose’s donations.

47.7%

The percentage of President Donald Trump’s donations from retirees in Santa Clara County.

24.8%

The percentage of donations from CEOs in the South Bay to Harris, who enjoys the most support from this county’s company leaders compared to any other candidate.

$25,837

The total donations to Buttigieg from people in this county who work for Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Google. The Southbend, Indiana, mayor received the most donations from employees in Big Four tech companies, with Harris trailing right behind.

32.49%

Percentage of Warren’s donations from unemployed folks in the county, while 20.8 percent of Sanders’ donations came from jobless individuals.

ON TO THE NEXT NextSpace colleagues met last week for a final gathering before the co-working office closed for good.

Spaced Out Displaced ‘Anti-Man-About-Town’ columnist has the co-working man’s blues

BY GARY SINGH

A

S OF THIS Saturday, NextSpace Coworking in downtown San Jose will bite the dust, putting an end to eight years of authentic community building.

I say “community” because at NextSpace, that word meant more than anything.

NextSpace first opened in Santa Cruz in 2008, then added spaces in LA, San Francisco, San Jose and Berkeley, pioneering the concept of co-working in its original form, years before that term was culturally appropriated by shiny obnoxious companies like

WeWork and thus transformed into a ludicrous buzzword.

When NextSpace started, it exemplified an idealistic if not utopian dream to unite disparate demographics so they could feed off each other, support one another, collaborate, swap professional ideas or simply find common life hacks.

It was all about community. A food entrepreneur could collaborate with programmers, while a fledgling roboticist might pool resources with a UX designer. If your startup didn’t need a whole office, you could rent a small corner and maybe even discover other people at NextSpace who wanted to join your team. Freelancers

of any sort could roll in with a day pass and make new friends or potential clients in the process. The community manager functioned as a human connection machine, the glue that fused everyone together.

In San Jose’s case, the NextSpace office in its original state didn’t feel or look like anything else downtown, making it a refreshing place to hang. Even though most of the co-workers were techrelated, the vibe was nothing resembling bro culture. Beginning in 2011, the atmosphere was intentionally informal, bohemian and goofy. Orange and blue color schemes abounded. Beautifully incongruous couches, carpeting and homemade wooden tables highlighted the open spaces. Artwork by neighborhood artists graced the walls.

Local non-profits rented spaces, classical musicians played during happy hours, female coding groups held meetings and disgruntled city employees dropped in to spill all the gossip.

On any given day, one became privy to financial advice presentations, entrepreneurial classes, artisan coffee tastings and numerous partnerships with local establishments. Everyone in

the downtown business community either floated through to say hello or at least knew someone at NextSpace because there was no other joint like it. Former members always stopped in when they came back through town.

This was precisely the point: community.

It had nothing whatsoever to do with obnoxious corporate monoculture.

Unfortunately, as is the case with many freewheeling idealistic schemes in downtown San Jose, obnoxious corporate monoculture eventually won. With the rise of squeaky clean bastions of pretense like WeWork and the generation of culturally illiterate techies who love them, NextSpace wasn’t making any real money, anywhere. A few years ago, the company was circling the drain for the last time when a sterile syndicate of bean counters named Pacific Workplaces saved it from certain death.

While the Santa Cruz and Berkeley offices still embody some of the original NextSpace spirit, such was never the case with San Jose after Pacific Workplaces took over. In my view, they ruined the color scheme and the goofy accoutrements by making everything gray and beige. They dumbed down the work culture, stripped away all the personality, crushed the vibe, disregarded the community manager and squandered all the goodwill established by NextSpace. It was sad and depressing to witness.

So, to reminisce and bid each other adieu, NextSpacers threw a tearjerking final party inside the San Jose office last week. Former members from years ago stopped in and said their farewells. Food and drink overflowed. Stories came out of the woodwork. There was nothing but love in the room.

In contrast—and perhaps this is the closing irony of it all—at the same time, right up the block, a vacuous fabricated pop-up space called Backyard SJ, one of the most obnoxious flauntings of corporate artifice to hit downtown in recent memory, was duping everyone into giddy states of faux-urban euphoria.

Somewhere between a phony tradeshow-floor environment and a bad hipster patio bar transplanted onto a parking lot, the space featured big ugly cardboard cylinders and wood chips all over the ground, as if someone went dumpster diving outside the set of Hee Haw. BackYard SJ comes to us from— you guessed it—WeWork.

GO TIME When it comes to climate change, we have no time to wait to act, says scientist Barry Sinervo. “It’s now. That’s what my work is showing. It’s now.”

I

N THREE REFRIGERATED closets set to precisely 15, 18 and 21 degrees Celsius, Barry Sinervo is using several dozen salamanders assembled in small plastic tubs to predict the future.

On one metal shelf is a contingent of surreal-looking “Mexican walking fish” called axolotls—a nearlyvanished species from the Mexico City canals forged by the Aztecs.

Other shelves hold endangered Santa Cruz long-toed salamanders and a black-and-red-spotted species native to the Sierra Nevadas.

“These are going extinct,” Sinervo says as he wrangles a lanky giant

salamander. The cast of creatures changes often at the lab in his coastal biology lab, but the goal stays the same.

“We gotta save them,” Sinervo says.

The focus on amphibians—in particular Sinervo’s first passion, lizards—may seem niche within the wide world of evolutionary biology, but scientists find them an excellent proxy for the physical and social changes climate change spurs in all kinds of species. Sinervo uses the data he gathered over three-plus decades of tracking extinctions and adaptations to hone universal formulas that may also predict extinctions for birds, fish and mammals.

“In a funny way, I’m the Nostradamus of biodiversity,” says

Sinervo, a trained mathematician and herpetologist (a biologist who specializes in reptiles and amphibians). “We can prove the sixth mass extinction is happening now.”

The affable 58-year-old, whose office door says “Dr. Lizardo,” has a remarkably sunny demeanor for someone who made a career out of predicting environmental catastrophes. He credits his upbringing in Ontario’s rugged Thunder Bay region with instilling an early appreciation for nature’s quirks.

“I had iguanas as a kid, and I hunted snakes,” Sinervo says. “You know the mating balls that males end up in, where you get a male copulating a male? That was my sex education.”

Eccentric humor and northern humility lend Sinervo the ability to get away with things many academics can’t, like referencing his own TED Talk without sounding pretentious.

In that 2015 talk, he recounted how around 2001 he first noticed European lizards disappearing from their usual habitats. He and his colleagues soon found similar extinctions all around the world, pointing to a new era of mass extinction with die-offs comparable to the last Ice Age. Except this time, it’s happening much faster.

“Biological annihilation,” or an “assault on the foundations of human civilisation” are how recent reports describe the current era

of biodiversity loss, which some researchers call the “anthropocene.”

Gerardo Ceballos, of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, led a 2017 study that tracked habitat loss for 27,500 land-dwelling species. He told the Guardian, “The situation has become so bad it would not be ethical not to use strong language.”

At their home on the Central Coast, Sinervo and his wife noticed species such as the northern alligator lizard—unique for giving birth to live young rather than laying eggs— disappear from their backyard. The same emissions-driven temperature increases causing habitats to go haywire also accelerate sea-level rise in coastal communities, which are

beginning to grapple with how to protect billions of dollars worth of seaside real estate threatened by higher tides and more frequent extreme weather.

“We really have a train wreck coming,” says Gary Griggs, a coastal geologist and author who helped write recent state climate assessments with Sinervo. “Well, there are a couple train wrecks.”

From the California coastline to the mountains of Central Mexico to the Amazon rainforest and the Kalahari desert; Sinervo now reliably predicts death and destruction everywhere he goes.

But he also has a secret which helps him avoid the cynicism and

depression that might accompany his line of work: It gets easier after you come face to face with your own demise.

Heat Rising Sinervo was aware of the conversation about climate change as far back as the late 1980s, while studying at the University of Washington. Back then, it was a theoretical conversation. If people didn’t take action to curb carbon emissions causing global temperatures to spike, the thinking at the time went, it was likely more species would start to disappear.

Sinervo’s frequent research collaborator Donald Miles, a fellow

lizard expert and professor at Ohio University, remembers a “small but dedicated” group of ecologists and biologists sounding the alarm about climate change around the time he started working with Sinervo in 1993. Sinervo was always funny and enthusiastic, Miles remembers, but he was intense, working long hours and building a reputation as a prolific publisher in scientific journals.

Sinervo made a name for himself as a doctoral student and was hired

by UCSC, after he discovered what he describes as a naturally occurring game of rock-paper-scissors near a research site in Los Banos. For male side-blotched lizards that come

in three colors—orange, blue or yellow—he established that each group’s character traits keep the three populations in equilibrium.

The orange lizards’ blatant aggression beats the smaller blue lizards, using brute force to win more mating partners. But the yellow lizards can trick the macho orange lizards by imitating females to sneak in and find more mates. Blue can still trump yellow, though, since they’re monogamous and thus more vigilant in protecting mating partners.

The “roshambo” research, as Sinervo calls it, was one of what would become many examples of how lizard evolution can shed light on an issue that confounds humans.

‘A lot of people struggle with teaching gender. The lizards are not just male and female.’

—BARRY SINERVO “A lot of people struggle with teaching gender,” Sinervo says. “With the lizards, you can kind of begin to grapple with all that. They’re not just male and female.”

In the process, Sinervo also established his street cred with fellow herpetologists.

By 2007, Sinervo and Miles had worked together enough that the UC Santa Cruz professor sent a grad student with Miles to Mexico on a supposedly routine research trip.

Following the directions of Mexican colleague Fausto Roberto Méndez de la Cruz, the duo headed to a reliable site east of Mexico City. But they couldn’t find the lizards there, nor in several surrounding areas. They called for reinforcements.

“There were five people looking for lizards, and we didn’t find any of the species,” Miles recalls. “Maybe it’s climate change,” he told Méndez de la Cruz.

In the following months, Sinervo made similar extinction discoveries in the Yucatán, and by 2010, a team of more than two-dozen researchers on several continents expanded the findings into a landmark article published in the journal Science under the title “Erosion of Lizard Diversity by Climate Change and Altered Thermal Niches.” In layman’s terms, the researchers connected the dots between extinctions by proving climate change was the common link.

“Then we knew it was global,” Sinervo says. “Other people had published extinctions that seemed enigmatic, but we could explain them all around the world.”

Professionally, things were better than they’d ever been. Within a few years, hundreds of other researchers cited the paper, and Sinervo attracted new funding from groups like the National Science Foundation to train hundreds of graduate students in the field. In 2014, he received a $1.9 million grant from the University of California Office of the President to create an Institute for the Study of Ecological and Evolutionary Climate Impacts.

The following year, Sinervo returned from a whirlwind 26-country tour of Europe, China, the Amazon and other hotbeds for extinction. As usual, the results were brutal. He struggled to process the constant bad news.

“Oh my god it was so depressing,” he says. “For several years I was thinking, ‘I’m leaving my son with nothing.’”

But today, in his office filled with reminders of doom, Sinervo’s attitude is different. And he pinpoints exactly what changed his mind.

“You know I’ve had cancer, right?” he says.

The Brink Adenoid cystic carcinoma, or ACC, is a rare form of malignant tissue growth often found in salivary glands of the head and neck. Sinervo knew biology better than almost

LIZARD PROPHECY

Mon - Thurs • Aug 19 - Sept 19 2019

LIZARD KING UC Santa Cruz’s Barry Sinervo has earned the nickname ‘Dr. Lizardo.’

anyone, and the diagnosis was devastating. The cancer invaded his sinuses and soft palate, requiring a team of Stanford researchers to rebuild his throat.

Still, Sinervo was pragmatic. Not wanting to rack up carbon emissions driving to Stanford twice a week, he took the bus from Santa Cruz to a train in San Jose to another bus in Palo Alto, which took about four hours round trip. He still grew lettuce in his backyard for vegetarian meals and insisted he and his family reuse old iPhones. Over time, his perspective shifted.

“As I normalized my fight with cancer and realized maybe I’ll be able to overcome it, I did that in parallel with my fight against climate change,” Sinervo says.

The best way he can describe it is by comparing it to overcoming posttraumatic stress. Virtually everyone is likely to encounter cancer in some way—if not personally, then through someone they know.

“Everybody will be touched by it, and we do everything we can,” he says.

“Climate change is like that. It will affect everybody on the planet personally.”

Sinervo points to examples such as mountainous areas of El Salvador and Guatemala being ravaged by drought and intense heat, making it impossible to grow food there, and contributing to the migration crisis on the southern U.S. border. And, California now experiences more frequent deadly wildfires fueled by hotter, drier conditions.

Sinervo is also wading deeper into public policy discussions about reforestation, habitat preservation and other ways to potentially reverse the impacts of climate change. At the same time, his colleagues watching the shoreline warn it’s time to talk about a point of no return with regards to the erosion threatening coastal homes and infrastructure.

Griggs is part of a team of engineers, economists and geologists hired by the city of Santa Cruz to put together a plan for what to do about oceanfront West Cliff Drive and its recurring sinkholes. At the

county level, a first-of-its kind coastal armoring program is being discussed to set new rules for building seawalls, which studies show will likely erode public beaches and impact surf breaks. The alternative is retreating from coastal property—a prospect that could require buyout programs or changes in how climate risk is priced into homeowner’s insurance.

“When do we pull the plug?

It’s going to be different for the public infrastructure than private residences,” Griggs says. “Every decision that gets made is going to have a huge impact on all these other parts of the puzzle.”

In the process, Griggs says, it’s entirely possible scientists like Sinervo will find themselves at odds over habitat conservation with property owners inclined to dig in their heels and protect their homes or investments. That’s to be expected, Sinervo says.

“We will need government to impose all these things,“ he says. “This is not a moral call. Some people are just more selfish than others, and they won’t do it. Others will.”

“I work on the equations for why we behave the way we behave, and I understand it. It’s the way we evolved.”

Sinervo worked all the way up until his surgery at Stanford in 2017, when Miles was at the hospital with his wife, who is a psychotherapist. While Sinervo underwent radiation therapy, he began work on another paper.

“Barry is not the person who gives up,” Miles says.

New Normal In January, Sinervo made it to the last destination on the worldwide extinction tour he started before his diagnosis. The findings were brutal.

Sinervo’s equation had successfully predicted a 60,000-square-mile extinction zone in the Kalahari desert in Southern Africa.

“That one’s mind-blowing,” he says, scrolling through heat maps on his laptop. “This is scary shit. I get afraid sometimes of my own work.”

Sinervo is different now than he was before his battle with cancer. In his 2015 TED Talk, he came across as a quintessential dad-academic in khakis and a lime-green button up. He spoke

in a measured tone, and occasionally peppered in PG-rated phrases like, “The world is going to hell in a handbasket.” This spring, he took it up a notch with a stand-up cameo with comedian Shane Mauss.

“I’m going to try to inject a little levity into this. Not much,” Sinervo quipped in a voice that, post-surgery, has taken on a more nasally, slightly artificial quality. “We’re talking about a fucking mass extinction.”

Sinervo’s curly brown hair is now gray, lending him a mad scientist vibe that’s amplified when he wears goggles to protect his left eye, which has remained closed since the surgery.

It all fits when you walk into his small, second-floor office and see a series of incomprehensible equations scribbled on a white board—Sinervo’s working formulas to predict extinction anywhere in the world.

“I’m trying to make it as simple as possible,” he says of the horseshoes and commas and other symbols that denote variables like population growth and species interactions.

A natural teacher happy to explain any of his dozens of papers, there’s just one type of question that visibly irritates Sinervo, and that’s whether this issue can be dealt with, as many climate-change skeptics suggest, 20 years from now, or maybe 50? After 2100?

“It’s now. That’s what my work is showing,” Sinervo says. “It’s now.

It’s now.”

The combination of Sinervo’s unique style and his research credentials have attracted a new generation of climate-conscious acolytes to his university lab.

“Barry is sort of like the climate change guru when it comes to lizards,” says Pauline Blaimont, a recent 28-year-old evolutionary biology grad. With Sinervo’s help, she spent several summers studying how lizards in the Pyrenees mountains are (or aren’t) adapting to hotter conditions.

Blaimont, from Southern California, has always been into animals. Lizards are perfect for studying climate change, she says, since they’re exothermic, regulating body temperature by directly basking in the sun. When it’s too hot, they spend more time in the

shade—allowing less time to hunt insects—and see reduced levels of physical activity until they ultimately must migrate or face extinction.

Since they’re low on the food chain, what happens to lizards also has ripple effects for the birds, snakes and mammals that eat them.

Like Sinervo, Blaimont says research has bled into her personal life. She and her partner observe Meatless Mondays, and she’s distilled her advice to others into one directive: “Reduce, reuse, recycle, but in that order.”

Students in Sinervo’s lab currently study on-the-ground adaptations to climate change, like how “moms reprogram their babies for the future” by passing on altered hormones or genes.

Sinervo, who is currently most enthusiastic about reforesting the Amazon, acknowledges his efforts to “normalize” extinction through comedy, social media and other channels is “more on the edge” in the world of buttoned-up climate scientists.

It makes sense, since his research has always been kind of unusual.

Miles, his collaborator, says looking at the bright side is the only real option. Reached while on a research trip in France during another intense heat wave last month, he was enthusiastic about Germany’s efforts to cut coal-fired electricity and ramp up renewable energy. In the U.S., a wave of young, insurgent left-wing politicians are also raising the profile of a “New Green Deal” or similar drastic shift away from fossil fuels.

“Species can recover,” Miles says.

Sinervo harkens back to his first job as a lumberjack cutting down trees in Canada with his brothers (one of whom, Pekka, is also a firstgeneration college graduate and physicist who studies the Higgs boson, or “God particle,” often described as a fundamental building block of the universe). He remembers a day when he was 16 and had to cut down an old-growth balsam tree. He started to consider the equilibrium between nature and human livelihood. “I went, ‘Wow, I’m gonna change things when I get older,’” Sinervo says.

SOUP’S ON The new location of Stone Stew brings the delicious variety of Persian food to downtown San Jose.

Stewpid Good Stone Stew invites diners to sample the wide scope of Persian cuisine

BY JOHN DYKE

I

T IS SHAMEFULLY reductive to boil an ethnic cuisine down to just one or two line items. Curry is just but of the many pungent spices found in traditional Indian food; the Japanese gourmand knows more than ramen and sushi; and they don’t even serve burritos in Mexico—at least not outside of restaurants catering to tipsy spring breakers.

Then there is Persian food—which, in the minds of many, can be summed up in two words: kebabs and rice. There’s nothing wrong with kebabs and rice, but surely there’s more to a centuries-old

culture than grilled meat on a stick and fluffy, steamed grains. For proof, look no further than Stone Stew.

For years, the original Stone Stew has been tucked away in the back of a Saratoga Avenue grocery store called Mediterranean Food Market.

It was, and still is, a hidden gem. Its spectacularly beautiful decor whisks diners away to a veranda in Iran.

However, with the impending Garden City Shopping Center renovations— which have already caused the beloved Harry’s Hofbrau to close its doors—the original will soon shutter.

Fortunately, a recently opened downtown San Jose location keeps the Stone Stew rolling. The new restaurant is substantially smaller than the original,

though it is nearly as beautiful. A stunning azure blue door greets guests as they arrive, and the same blue motif continues in the wooden benches and tables. The dining room’s walls are decorated with brick archways and lanterns, meant to mimic the experience of dining al fresco in a bazaar.

The menu does contain the ubiquitous kebabs and rice I touched on earlier, but if one delves a little deeper, the restaurant’s flavorful namesake emerges. Stews are quite popular in Iran, and one of the most basic versions is known as ābgoosht (literally “meat juice”); it consists of slow-simmered lamb, turmeric, dried limes and chickpeas. Stone Stew’s rendition is called vakil abad-mashad and is available with just the stew ($15.99) or with some housemade sides ($21.99). On a recent visit, I chose the option with sides, plus a vegetarian-friendly stew called shahsavar ghormeh sabzi ($14.99), and an eggplant-based kashke bademjan ($8.99) appetizer.

First out was the kashke. It was reminiscent of a creamy yet chunky baba ganoush, sans the smoky flavor.

The creamy whey and fried mint really took this dish to another level by giving it a little crunch and some herbal undertones to combat the strong eggplant flavor. The complimentary warm barbari bread made an ideal edible utensil.

The stews arrived next, and my companion and I dug into the veggie ghormeh, which was served with a heaping mound of fluffy rice. The color of the dish was not exactly appealing, as the dark, leafy greens looked brownish-black after the many hours they’d spent simmering.

However, after just one bite of this earthy, citrusy concoction, we knew why the ghormeh sabzi is considered by many to be the “national dish of Iran.” The veggie version is bolstered with whole mushrooms plus kidney beans that had a nice snap to them; they obviously didn’t come from a can.

Then came the ābgoosht, which required a bit of eater participation. ābgoosht—also known as “dizi,” which refers to the stoneware crock it’s served in—requires diners to strain the liquid out of the stew into an accompanying empty bowl and then mash the meat, beans and veggies into mush. The two are meant to be eaten separately, but we chose to recombine the two halves into the original bowl and consume it using more of the warm barbari bread. It was stunningly delicious in its simplicity. The lamb was melt-inyour-mouth tender, while the brothand-veggie mix had a meaty, sweet and earthy complexity that was sublime.

Sides included a standard shiraz salad; pickled veggies that were a bit too vinegary for my taste; and a shallot yogurt called maast o moosir, which, when added to the ābgoosht, gave it a nice tartness to offset the sweet and savory.

Taking a deep dive into another culture’s menu will often yield unexpected and tasty results. Going beyond the norm in Persian food has introduced me to a nation’s culinary treasure and made me wonder what else I’ve been missing out on all these years.

Eat, drink and be spendy at the third annual Cupertino Food & Wine Stroll. In addition to bites and sips, this festival celebrates the downtown business community. There are two tiers of presale tickets: $15 buys access to food only, while $30 gets you a grub-and-drink wristband. Both levels are just a bit pricier the day of the festival.

Grab a gooey slice à la Doppio Zero Pizzeria, slide some Kebab Shop cuts off the skewer or savor one of Pacific Catch’s bites from the sea. As for drinks, Rootstock Wine Bar and Steins Beer Garden have that covered. (ER)

In the field of Mexican norteño music, San Jose’s Los Tigres Del Norte bestride the world like giants. More than 50 years ago, Jorge Hernandez and his brothers, while still only teens, left Mexico to settle in the South Bay, and in that time, they’ve sold well north of 35 million recordings. With their often politically charged music, Los Tigres have brought the concerns of contemporary Mexicans to a global audience, and have made norteño and other forms such as conjunto and corrido musical touchstones worldwide. With immigration and Mexican-US relations at the top of the national dialogue, Los Tigres have never been more relevant. (WB)

Close out the summer by getting in touch with your primal instincts. This year’s Silicon Valley Music Festival focuses on primitive concepts and traditional art forms. The three-day festival will feature both visual and audio artists performing pieces inspired by and depicting human interaction with nature. On Friday, hear a musical interpretation of the Colorado River. On Saturday, check out a new interpretation of Igor Stravinski’s Rite of Spring. And on Sunday hear a chamber orchestra’s take on the same piece at Santa Clara University’s Recital Hall. That performance will be followed by a Q&A with the arranger, Anthony Rivera. (KA)

WRONG TURN A farcical take on classic noir, ‘The 39 Steps’ misses more marks than it hits.

Pacing About Hitchcock sendup ‘The 39 Steps’ has flashes of brilliance, but mostly meanders

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

T

HE 39 STEPS is a sugary summer trifle that’s as sweet as it is undemanding. Based on John Buchan’s 1915 spy novel and Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 movie, Patrick Barlow’s farce is at once a mashup, an homage and a sendup.

Every time the bad guys show up in film noir garb or a fascistic outfit, the playwright ditches their shadowy talk or actions. He’s interested in the mollifying effects of daylight. Espionage and wartime intrigues aren’t on the agenda.

The joke we’re told is that anything threatening—a knife in the back or

a bullet to the chest—is only a fake, a theatrical conceit we’ve seen many times before. But if the audience is always conscious of the artifice, when can it begin to suspend its sense of disbelief?

The play’s built-in gimmick doesn’t solve that problem. Apart from Lance Gardner’s leading man performance as Richard Hannay, the three supporting actors play multiple roles. The need for quick costume changes turns every scene into a physical comedy gag or extended routine. When Ron Campbell steps into a premade wig and housecoat ensemble, his voice gets shrill the second he becomes a house cleaner.

This approach brings ham and camp together, often on a collision course.

The cast also moves the action along by maneuvering props every which way about the stage, as well as by taking hurried turns at the sound effects table.

In this genre, the audience expectantly waits for the moment when someone will stumble, gum up their lines or get wrong-footed.

Rhythmically, the script should gradually be amping up the mania to test the actors: Will they be able to keep up with the frantic pace? But there weren’t any feverish mistakes, save for one casually dropped and picked-up newspaper. The actors got all their lines right and hit their marks but were also directed to be too careful and selfcontained. Gardner was the exception.

He had the advantage of playing only one type of character, an extraction from Hitchcock’s The Wrong Man. From there, he could improvise and use silly inflections without straying very far from representing an actual, living breathing man.

As they sprinted from one character to the next, his cast mates had to keep throwing their voices into their own bodies. It reminded me of a ventriloquist’s act. That’s not to say

that Annie Abrams’ German agent— or Campbell’s professor or Cassidy Brown’s innkeeper—weren’t amusing.

But the laughs (chuckles, rather than guffaws) were as fleeting as each rapid change of identity. Gone in under several seconds. For a farce to work, the ongoing effect of these stunts should have been cumulative.

The set design also interfered with my imagination. It looked perilously large, swallowing the actors up, and unrelated to the time and place. Was the palette meant to evoke a 1920s Paris dance hall or the interior of a suburban American restaurant in the 1980s? I wanted to focus on any number of things besides the ungainly, towering orange curtain draped at the back of the stage. But when Gardner mimed a slow-motion run or Abrams wriggled her body in the throes of death, my eyes darted above or behind them. If the set had been designed with minimalism in mind, or something more abstract, the actors wouldn’t have had to compete with such heavy furnishings.

The only moment that completely caught me off guard came when Campbell wooed a mop. It was a small, daffy flash of theatrical magic, a tangent that reflected back on Hannay’s dizzy romantic entanglement and then neatly and abruptly vanished.

Despite all the hubbub buzzing around him, I believed that he really loved that singular mop with her ropy head of hair—especially when he started scrubbing the floor with it. I liked that dash of nonsense because it was unhinged, and the plot, which was already so full of holes, could finally be tossed aside.

Tonally, the production favors a familiar and easy sense of kookiness.

There were several Easter eggs that referenced Hitchcock, including but not limited to Rear Window, North

by Northwest and a projection of the portly director’s famous silhouette. But Hitchcock’s visual and verbal wit made his characters feel real. We endured suspense on their behalf. The trouble with Barlow’s 39 Steps is that there’s none to be had.

STAGE

legend Robert Kelley looks back on an epic career.

Curtain Call ROBERT KELLEY’S LAST day on the job at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley isn’t until next summer, but he’s already contemplating its future without him. Earlier this month, while rehearsals for the 18th annual New Works Festival were spilling into every available space, Kelly and I spoke on the phone. The company’s founding artistic director found privacy in an empty dressing room and told me the leadership staff is hoping to have a new director in place before the end of the year. The timing would allow for a six-month overlap to ensure a sense of continuity between the new hire and the 50 years he’s devoted to the organization.

“I feel like it isn’t just a part of my life; it is my life,” he says. The main reason he gives for retiring at the end of the season is both unselfish and forward thinking: “to make sure that it’s healthy and that it continues to grow into the future far beyond me.”

In June, Kelley flew to New York to accept the 2019 Regional Theatre Tony Award for TheatreWorks. During his acceptance speech, he recalled how, in 1969, the cast of his first production filled his car with food on opening night.

Kelley obviously didn’t enter into the profession to make a fortune.

“I got into the theater as an actor as a child. My interest was being on stage, not in being in the audience,” he says. Later, in college, he started directing plays. Once he started the company, though, Kelley was never tempted to leave TheatreWorks for the allure of the Chicago or New York theater scene. “We were doing the kind of work that I wanted to do, really, from the beginning. A great mix of classics that you could reinvent in ways that were a huge amount of fun.”

“A lot of new works we could develop from scratch,” he adds. “That’s how the company got started, with a brand new musical.” In December, their 70th world premiere will be a musical version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.

TheatreWorks didn’t start with a manifesto or a business plan. “Our goal was to create work that was about our region,” he says. And as the region got bigger, so did they. Expanding on that idea, he notes that “the growth curve of TheatreWorks reflected the growth curve of the Silicon Valley as a place and as a concept.” And yet, he says, there isn’t a huge amount of corporate support for the arts in Silicon Valley. The “backbone” of the organization is the subscription audience, “wonderful individuals who care deeply about us.”

Kelley is hopeful that younger audiences in a post-Glee world—who traditionally do not go in for annual theater subscriptions—are discovering the thrill of watching things live, “of actually seeing a real person acting and showing you aspects of life you may have never considered. There’s nothing like seeing someone sing in a musical.” —Jeffrey Edalatpour

PRECIOUS Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy screens at Pruneyard Cinemas labor day weekend.

Good & Evil WE’RE JUST SEVERAL months away from a new decade, which is one reason Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings (2001-03) trilogy will soon be considered old, no matter how vividly the films are etched in the memories of those who last saw them on a big screen… almost 20 years ago!

What sticks in the mind is more than just the groundbreaking technology and CGI, which allowed Shelob to crawl, or the walls of Mordor to glow radium green, or the hosts of orcs to rise from their pits by the thousands.

Human images shuffle through the mind, even if the audience almost took the amazing synthespianism in stride. (One kept forgetting that Andy Serkis’ fishy Gollum, that Peter Lorre-worthy wretch, wasn’t real.) It isn’t really the battles that stick; it’s the closeup of Liv Tyler’s Arwin: “If you want him… come and claim him!” Ian McKellen’s Gandalf, immobile, smoking his pipe and studying a gold ring; he looks at it and it looks at him, a scene as dramatic as Lord of the Rings Trilogy his final roar at the Balrog. Viggo Mortensen’s Aragorn, laying on the bank of a peaceful Aug 31-Sep 3 river, apparently dead, and his horse nudging Pruneyard Cinemas, him to semi-consciousness. John Noble’s useless Campbell Denethor, just like all misrulers, sending out his pruneyardcinemas.com troops at the moment when he was at his weakest; the widows to be, looking like the mourning women in a Giotto fresco, throwing flowers to their departing riders, and the horses trampling the blooms under their hooves.

Peter Jackson and writers Frances Walsh and Philippa Boyans made the trilogy pagan, not a story of Christian soldiery. Consider the notable chill and remoteness Cate Blanchett took to her work as the first film’s narrator, the Virgin Mary figure Galadriel. In the book she might as well be the Blue Fairy. On screen her elfin superiority leaves her open for a nasty shock from the power of the Ring.

These are tree-hugging movies. The elf encampment at Lothlorean looks as if some architect had built a palace into a grove of Sequoias without injuring them. The wantonness of Sauron’s plans are demonstrated by the uprooting of massive oaks, thrown into the pit as tinder. In rotation, with the epics Lawrence of Arabia and Apocalypse Now at Pruneyard Cinemas, is a series about what war means, in the form of fables, mirages and hallucinations; these epics testify to how war steals things that even peace itself will never be able to bring back.

Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003) play over Labor Day weekend, Aug 31-Sept 3 with special packages of prix-fixe dinners at the Pruneyard. —Richard von Busack

BLUE SKIES Starover Blue returns to play for the hometown behind their latest effort, ‘Ordinary Magic.’

Common Spells Starover Blue blend astral and earthy tones on new LP, ‘Ordinary Magic’

BY MATEI PREDESCU

F

OR KENDALL SALLAY and Dirk Milotz, the two core members of Portlandbased experimental dream-pop group Starover Blue, home will always be San Jose.

“We’re very loyal to San Jose. That was our band’s home for eight years, and I can’t really imagine not coming back,” says Sallay, the lead vocalist and guitarist in the band. Alongside co-founder and longtime partner Dirk Milotz, who plays synthesizers and sings, the pair have been working together for more than a decade. The two met as music students at San Jose State University in 2007, where they

laid the musical foundations for the band’s signature synth-driven waviness.

This summer, their homecoming is particularly special. To celebrate the upcoming release of their second LP, Ordinary Magic, Starover Blue is going on tour across the Midwest and the West Coast, eventually making their way back home for a show in the 408.

Much like Spacegeist, their debut 2016 album, Ordinary Magic is a synth-saturated opus that draws inspiration from classical music, pop and country as well as sci-fi and dystopian speculative fiction.

Despite the diverse mix of aesthetic influences, the resulting potpourri of stylistic cues flows effortlessly.

Milotz, a classically trained

keyboardist and composition major, shows a flair for romanticism with emotionally compelling harmonic colors on tunes like “Ruby (Interlude).” On “Parlor Trick”, Sallay’s moody lyrics are grounded by earthy guitar strumming that highlights their roots in indie-folk.

There’s an airy effervescence to Ordinary Magic, which is at once cerebral and deeply personal. Ethereal vocals whisper over lush synth pads and acoustic guitar riffs, evoking an atmosphere of hazy mystery, but also one of comfortable intimacy. At the core of Starover Blue’s sound— beyond the Stranger Things-esque synth lines and drumming that drives the polyphonic soundscape to loftier energy levels—are heavy undertones of melancholy and longing.

The couple’s songwriting touches on themes of tribulation and alienation, but there’s always a strong focus on growth and perseverance. “Mother” and “Chameleon,” for example, frame difficult narratives about estranged relatives and friends, while others, like “Janeway”—titled after the first female Starfleet captain in

Star Trek: Voyager—speak of the duo’s determination to follow their musical dreams.

It’s this determination that brought Sallay and Milotz to Portland in search of better opportunities and a more accessible music scene. San Jose’s dearth of all-ages, midsize venues makes it difficult for any local band to maintain anything other than a tenuous foothold in the music scene. They left San Jose in search of greener—and more affordable—pastures in 2016.

“It was really difficult at first, accepting that we were starting from the ground up again. It was just the two of us,” Sallay says about their early days in Portland. “I remember we were in our new practice space—it was just me and Dirk—and we kind of looked around the room and at each other, and we were just like, ‘Oh my God, what have we done!’”

Despite the initial wave of loneliness, they quickly hired new band members and started making their way around town within their first few months in Portland.

“Up here, you can go see live music at, like, 15 different venues any given night of the week, and chances are they’ll be great,” Sallay says, comparing Portland’s music scene to San Jose’s. “It’s a totally different world up here.” She references the abundance of musicians, bands and venues supporting live music, but also the stronger sense of competition within the scene.

It sounds like they’re making a name for themselves in the City of Roses. Sallay mentions that Starover Blue will be headlining Portland’s famed Doug Fir Lounge for their album release show. This will be the last gig of their tour this summer, which will also bring them home for a show at Art Boutiki on Aug. 30.

“In San Jose, we have a lot of friends from college, co-workers over the years, a lot of different people who have been really supportive of our music Honestly, that’s the show we’re looking forward to the most on our tour.”

AUG 28–SEP 5 | “TOMORROW IS OUR FINAL EXAM. NO PENS, NO PAPER, NO GASOLINE.” That line is from rom Shira Erlichman’s poem, “How to Become a Forest Fire.” Like most of her work, she can surprise you with one or two delicately placed words, the sort of words that are usually only dangerous when physical and tangible.

The fact that we have Crunchyroll Expo and a monster truck jam this week is very surprising.

If you love anime, cosplay and manga, Crunchyroll is for you. If you like dirt and trucks and cosplay, hey! Same! Also this Friday, musician Derrick Sanderlin is continuing his residency at Forager with the second chapter of his ‘äse,lát (oscillate) music and dialogue series, this time with “The Revolution & Mental Health.” Local (and legendary) community radio station KFJC will be broadcasting live from Streetlight Records this Saturday afternoon to raise funds via your pocket change. Radio busking! They’ve been mostly listener funded since 1959! More info and many more events in my list below... = MUST SEE

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Here are examples

of activities I recommend you try in the coming days. 1. Build a campfire on the beach with friends and regale each other with stories of your most interesting successes. 2. Buy eccentric treasures at a flea market and ever thereafter refer to them as your holy icons. 3. Climb a hill and sit on the grass as you sing your favorite songs and watch the moon slowly rise over the eastern horizon. 4. Take naps when you're "not supposed to." 5. Sneak into an orchard at night and eat fruit plucked just moments before. 6. Tell a beloved person a fairy tale in which he or she is the hero.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The hardiest creature on the planet may be the bacterium known as Deinococcus radiodurans. It can endure exposure to radiation, intense cold, dehydration, acid and vacuum. I propose we make it your power creature for the coming weeks. Why? Not because I expect you'll have to deal with a lot of extreme conditions, but rather because I think you'll be exceptionally robust, both physically and psychologically. If you've been waiting for the right time to succeed at demanding challenges that require you to be in top form, now is a good time to do it. P.S. Deinococcus radiodurans is colloquially referred to as Conan the Bacterium, borrowing from the spirit of the fictional character Conan the Barbarian, who is renowned for his strength and agility.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the yearly cycle of many Geminis, retreating into a state akin to hibernation makes sense during the end of August and the first three weeks of September. But since many of you are high-energy sophisticates, you often override your body's signals. And then nature pushes back by compelling you to slow down. The result may be a rhythm that feels like constantly taking three steps forward and two steps backward.

May I suggest a different approach this year? Would you consider surrendering, even slightly, to the invitation to relax and recharge?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you decide to travel

to a particular place via hot air balloon, you must be prepared for the possibility that your route will be indirect. At different altitudes, the wind may be blowing in different directions: toward the east at a hundred feet high, but toward the southwest at 200 feet. The trick for the pilot is to jockey up and down until finding a layer that's headed toward the desired destination. I see your life right now as having a metaphorical resemblance to this riddle. You have not yet discovered the layer that will take you where you want to go. But I bet you will soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Considering how bright you

have been burning since the Flame Angels designated you as the Hottest Cool Person of the Month, I hesitate to urge you to simmer down. But I must.

Before there's a meltdown in your vicinity, please lower your thermostat. Not a lot. Just a little. If you do that, everyone will continue to see your gleaming charisma in the best possible light. But don't you dare extinguish your blaze. Don't apologize for your brilliant shimmer. The rest of us need your magical radiance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Shogun is a bestselling novel about an Englishman who transforms himself into a samurai warrior in 17th-century Japan. Written

by James Clavell, it's over 1,100 pages long. Clavell testified that the idea for the story sprang up in him when he read one line in his daughter's school book: "In 1600 an Englishman went to Japan and became a samurai." I suspect it's highly likely you will soon encounter a seed like that, Virgo: a bare inspiration that will eventually bloom into a Big Thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran athlete Mickey Mantle is in Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame.

He had a spectacular 18-year career, winning the Most Valuable Player Award three times, playing in 12 World Series, and being selected to the All-Star team 16 times. So it's astounding that he played with a torn ligament in his knee for 17 years, according to his biographer Jane Leavy. She quoted an orthopedic surgeon who said that Mantle compensated for his injury with "neuromuscular genius." I'm thinking that in the next few weeks you're in a position to accomplish an equivalent of Mantle's heroic

adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most people who belong

to the Church of Satan neither believe in nor worship Satan. (They're atheists, and don't believe in the supernatural.) I think a comparable principle is true for many rightwing fundamentalist Christians.

Their actions and words are replete with bigotry, hard-heartedness, materialism and selfishness: so contrary to what the real Jesus Christ taught that they in effect don't believe in or worship Jesus Christ.

I mention this, Scorpio, in hope of inspiring you to take inventory of whether your stated ideals are reflected in the practical details of how you live your life. That's always an interesting and important task, of course, but it's especially so for you right now.

The coming weeks will be an excellent time to purge any hypocrisy from your system and get your actual behavior in close alignment with your deepest values.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It's the right

time for you to create a fresh mission statement and promotional campaign. For inspiration, read mine: "My column, Free Will Astrology, offers you a wide selection of realities to choose from. With 4,212 years of dedication to customer service (over the course of my last 13 incarnations), I'm a reliable ally supporting your efforts to escape your oppressive conditioning and other people's hells.

My horoscopes come with an ironclad guarantee: If the advice you read is wrong, you're under no obligation to believe it. And remember, a panel of 531 experts has determined that Free Will Astrology is an effective therapy for your chronic wounds and primordial pain. It is also dramatic proof that there is no good reason to be afraid of life."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here are good

questions for you to meditate on during the next four weeks. 1. How can you attract resources that will expand your mind and your world? 2. Are you bold enough to reach out to wise sources and provocative influences that could connect you with useful tricks and practical treasures? 3. What interesting lessons can you stir up as you explore the mercurial edges, skirt the changeable boundaries, journey to catalytic frontiers and make pilgrimages to holy hubbubs?

4. How best can you encourage lyrical emotion over polished sentimentality? Joyous idealism over astringent zealotry? Exuberant integrity over formulaic kindness?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "It is the beginning of

wisdom when you recognize that the best you can do is choose which rules you want to live by," wrote author Wallace Stegner, "and it's persistent and aggravated imbecility to pretend you can live without any." That will be an excellent meditation for you during the coming weeks. I trust you are long past the time of fantasizing you can live without any rules.

Your challenge now is to adjust some of the rules you have been living by, or even dare to align yourself with some new rules—and then completely commit yourself to being loyal to them and enjoying them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Given the astrological omens that will symbolize your personal story in the coming weeks and months, I think Piscean author Nikos Kazantzakis articulated the perfect prescription for you. I invite you to interpret his thoughts to fit your circumstances. "We're going to start with small, easy things," he wrote. "Then, little by little we shall try our hand at the big things. And after that, after we finish the big things, we shall undertake the impossible." Here's an additional prod from Kazantzakis: "Reach what you cannot."

Homework: What do you want most for the person or animal you love best?
