Rhapsodies Culture of Guns

No perfect solutions in the shooting of Andy Lopez BY SUSAN LAMONT

‘H

e shouldn’t have been carrying that replica of an AK-47.” Sounds just like “She shouldn’t have been wearing that short skirt,” doesn’t it?

“He was just a child!” doesn’t factor in that children now shoot and kill. Maybe this is more complicated than either reaction. Andy Lopez was growing up in a country that was sending him some very conflicting messages. This is a gun-worshiping nation. In 2011, the Santa Rosa Police Department encouraged small children to play with real weapons in a local park. Our culture assigns godlike status to its law enforcement and military. Capitalism says that we can’t infringe on the rights of a company to sell replica “toys.” Parents dress their babies in camouflage. How can we then turn to a young boy and tell him he’s not supposed to be influenced by this culture? And what is law enforcement supposed to do in the face of children who kill? I’d first suggest we understand that any child with intent to kill is a child in despair. Our first instinct should be to save that child, not eliminate him. Shoot to kill and ask questions later does not work. This has not always been law enforcement policy, but gradually we have become convinced that the safety of a deputy, a police officer or a soldier is more important than anything else. It’s time for some creative problem solving by law enforcement, working with community input. Yes, it’s more difficult than just picking up a gun and firing. No solution will be perfect. But really, the current policy is a disaster. After WWII, the Defense Department conducted a study which concluded that 80 percent of soldiers refuse to kill, even at risk to themselves. Soldier training was changed, so that now 80 percent will kill. Part of this change includes militarizing and desensitizing civilians—with predictable results, including dead innocent children. We all have a role to play here. The cultural change that is required for a safer society—where safety is created by more peaceful people, rather than by more law enforcement—will require all of us. It’s long past time to get to work. Susan Lamont is a local peace and social justice activist and writer. Open Mic is a weekly op/ed feature in the Bohemian. We welcome your contribution.

Critical Analysis

Thank you to Gabe Meline for an informative, critical analysis that looks beyond the pressconference talking points offered by the Santa Rosa Police Department (“Gun Crazy,” Nov. 6). If only other news outlets would take such a necessary examination into this tragedy to prevent it from occurring again and again.

MICHAEL HENNING Healdsburg

I moved up here to Sonoma four months ago from Los Angeles. Down there, this stuff goes on weekly, if not daily. A 73-year-old homeless woman was gunned down because she wouldn’t put down a can opener. Another person was shot and killed because he rammed a cop with a shopping cart. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. Way too many others to list here. Why are the police and their like sent to and tested at shooting ranges? What happened to putting one in the knee? And how typical that over half the article was on review boards and litigation. Sorry folks, too late; the boy is dead. Nothing will make anybody feel better about this. Cops have an “us vs. them” mentality. Oh, and by the way, none of them joined the force to hand out tickets—and I know a few. They are always on the lookout for action. They want a reason to use their guns. I could go on and on. This is sick.

DAVID DALE Sonoma

They put orange tips on toy guns and airsoft guns for a reason: to prevent others from thinking that it is a real gun. A 13-year-old boy like Andy Lopez knows why the tip is there. He also knows that taking the tip off makes it look more like a real gun. Given that he knew the gun looked like a real one with the tip removed, he should have immediately laid the gun on the ground before turning around. The

cop responded the way they are trained to respond to a threat of death—completely eliminate the threat. That is what he did. It is a shame, but it does not represent a wrongful death.

Good Ol’ Boys The good ol’ boy network and the two-tiered justice system is alive and thriving in Sonoma County. Peeking?! How many people have been charged with peeking in the last 10 years? (“Efren Carrillo Charged with Misdemeanor Peeking,” Oct. 31.) The Efren camp, with the help of their friends at the Press Democrat, would like us to believe that his transgressions are no more serious than a child’s nursery game. The board of supervisors did manage to break the deafening silence they’ve embraced since Efren’s return from rehab. “I don’t see this as a distraction,” said chairman David Rabbitt. “[T]his was slightly uphill from nothing, to be honest.” Two arrests, a 3am underwear romp, a long-term problem with binge-drinking, a month in rehab, a likely civil suit and a misdemeanor charge of “peeking” equals no distraction and adds up to little more than nothing? Welcome to the new standard for serving on the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors.

Clearcut Issue Why would the Artesa Vineyards & Winery that Alastair Bland writes about (“Chainsaw Wine,” Oct. 16) want to clear-cut forests to plant grapes? The answer can be described in one word: greed. What if local winemakers and retailers respond to the assault on our forests by committing to making and selling wines that come only from nonforest-conversion vineyards? They could develop a system whereby local winemakers would have a forest-safe symbol on their labels much like the dolphin-safe symbol on tuna cans. Savvy wine lovers and clubs would know to boycott “chainsaw wine” and purchase forest-safe wines.

Sonoma County Supervisor Efren Carrillo will not face a felony charge from his Aug. 20 arrest for trying to break into a woman’s bedroom at 3am wearing only his socks and underwear. Instead, he faces a single misdemeanor count of “peeking,” filed by prosecutor Cody Hunt of the Napa district attorney’s office, which carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Carrillo has yet to enter a plea. “My client is relieved that Efren Carrillo is finally being brought to justice,” says Rosanne Darling, the lawyer for the unidentified victim in the case, “but she is disappointed because . . . the charge seems inadequate for what she went through that night.” Darling also notes that any rumor of a relationship between Carrillo and her client, romantic or otherwise, is “simply rubbish.”

To The Courts Lopez family files federal lawsuit over slaying of their son BY GABE MELINE

T

he family of 13-year-old Andy Lopez has filed a lawsuit in federal court over the fatal shooting of their son, claiming that Sonoma County Sheriff’s deputy Erick Gelhaus has a history of reckless acts and “shot without provocation or cause.”

At a Monday press conference in San Francisco, standing between the boy’s parents Rodrigo and Sujey Lopez, attorney Arnoldo Casillas declared the Santa Rosa Police Department’s investigation into the shooting would be “a whitewash” and promised a thorough investigation via the legal process. “We filed the lawsuit, as Rodrigo and Sujey would tell you, because we want an uncritical

and honest investigation, and we believe that the only way that we’re going to get an honest investigation, an uncritical investigation, is if we do it ourselves,” said Casillas. “And that’s what we’re going to do.” On the afternoon of Oct. 22, Andy Lopez was shot and killed by Gelhaus, who says he believed the replica AK-47 rifle the boy was carrying at the time was real. According to Casillas, ) 10

Darling, a prosecutor with the Sonoma County district attorney’s office before leaving this summer for private practice, sounded disappointed with the charges as well, especially after so many delays granted to the prosecutor to allow him to gather evidence to build his case. “As a former prosecutor, if all you’re bringing is a misdemeanor charge, it seems odd that it would take you three full continuances to come to this decision.” The Napa district attorney’s office, which was assigned to the case by the state attorney general, has a conviction rate of almost 84 percent for felonies in the past three years, and over 90 percent for misdemeanors in the same period. According to statistics from the American Grand Jury Foundation, that’s among the highest in the state, and near the top of all counties in the Bay Area.—Nicolas Grizzle

Andy Lopez ( 8 only three seconds elapsed between the moment one of the deputies called for the boy to drop the gun and the moment Gelhaus began firing. Casillas spoke to reporters about the autopsy, which bears out witnesses’ statements that Deputy Gelhaus continued to fire his gun after Lopez had fallen to the ground. A bullet that entered Lopez’s right buttock, Casillas explained, traveled up into the boy’s torso, proving that the shot was fired when Lopez was horizontal. The attorney also detailed the initial shot that hit and felled Lopez, which entered his body above his right nipple and traveled toward his left shoulder. “It went through his heart. It killed him,” Casillas said. Such a trajectory would appear to show that Lopez had only turned halfway to face Gelhaus by the time the first fatal shot was fired—in essence, that Lopez had no chance to see who was calling to him before he was struck with bullets. Gelhaus has stated that he cannot remember if he identified himself as law enforcement when he called for Lopez to drop his gun. The suit also alleges that Gelhaus has “engaged in a custom and practice of reckless and dangerous use of firearms and other misconduct.” In 1996, Gelhaus and his partner were accused of falsifying police reports in a domestic violence matter, the suit says; the partner was fired, Gelhaus was not. Last week, area resident Jeff Westbrook came forward to say that Gelhaus had pulled him over for a traffic violation and pointed his pistol at Westbrook twice— once when Westbrook offered to move his car to give Gelhaus more room on the road shoulder, and once when Westbrook lifted his shirt to show that he was carrying no weapons. In December of 2012, Casillas won a $24 million jury verdict in Los Angeles after an LAPD officer shot and paralyzed a 13-year-

old boy. Casillas stated Monday that the amount in Lopez’s case could be even higher. But the involvement of the Lopez family in marches and vigils since their son’s death hints that the results of subpoenaed information regarding the shooting and potential changes to the current protocol in Sonoma County are equal priorities. Currently, investigations in officer-related shootings in Sonoma County call for the Santa Rosa Police Department to investigate the sheriff’s department, and vice-versa. But because of the shared duties and close relationship between the two agencies—at this time, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the SRPD for an incident earlier this month—the ostensibly “outside” investigations contain a conflict of interest. Investigations are then reviewed by the district attorney’s office. In district attorney Jill Ravitch’s case, more conflicts arise as she faces an election year. Sheriff Freitas, a key supporter, spoke at her campaign kickoff event at Kendall-Jackson winery in June. Additionally, the Santa Rosa Police Officers’ Association has endorsed her campaign. Meanwhile, a coalition of 11 groups has officially called for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to return to Sonoma County and examine officer-related shootings, 26 of which have been fatal since 2000, and none of which has resulted in finding any wrongdoing on the part of the officer. In 2000, the same commission recommended the creation of a civilian review board to review officer-related shootings in Sonoma County. Until that happens, high-paid attorneys will have to ask the hard questions of Gelhaus. “We will ask him, ‘What the hell were you thinking?’” said Casillas on Monday. “‘This is a 13-year-old boy. He is five-footfour. He is 140 pounds. . . . What did you expect him to do when you called out, if not turn around and look at you?’”

THREE GENERATIONS Charles Imwalle, Kevin Imwalle Hatch and Joe Imwalle III (L–R) at Imwalle Gardens.

Farm in the City Imwalle Gardens, a legendary Santa Rosa oasis BY JESSICA DUR TAYLOR

A

s far as business plans go, Joe Imwalle’s is pretty simple. He doesn’t advertise. He has no cell phone, doesn’t use a computer and isn’t sure what email is all about. His wife, Maria, keeps the books, and son Charles, who will eventually take over, works alongside him. His employees are few and loyal:

most have worked there for two decades. Thanks in part to paying no rent, he can afford to keep his prices low. As he puts it, “I just can’t gouge people.” Unsurprisingly, the familyowned Imwalle Gardens, which has been growing and selling produce and plants since 1886, is the business most locals said they would hate to see closed, according to a recent local poll. Lucky for them, Joe shows

no signs of stopping. “I’m 73; I should be retired,” he tells me on a recent afternoon. We’re sitting in his office, a cozy nook just off the barn, which his grandfather built out of virgin redwood in 1919. His desk is filled with photos of his three grandkids, a clutter of papers and order forms, and a phone that periodically chirrups. He grins and explains, “Business has really grown the last few years. I’ve built it up so big that I can’t leave it now!”

This despite the fact that the very popular Oliver’s Market, with its polished produce, opened a nearby store on Stony Point Road in 2007. “We don’t aim to sell everything under the sun,” says Imwalle of the difference between his stock and that of a supermarket, “and we can’t give you a box of perfect-looking tomatoes.” What they do have, though, is remarkable: a huge selection of flavorful produce, much of it grown right on their eightacre farm, sold at surprisingly low prices. On a recent visit, I picked out a bunch of organic kale, a shallow basket of plump blackberries, two local Rome apples, an organic onion and two huge gold beets. My total came to $5.79. I had to check the receipt to believe it. Longtime customer Hannah Bartee remembers pulling into the parking lot one summer day. “There was Joe,” she smiles, “plucking figs off the giant fig tree, then bringing them right into the store to sell.” The store itself is little more than a covered stand, where the wagons used to load up their vegetables for delivery. In addition to all the produce, Imwalle sells a smattering of bulk nuts, dried fruits, crackers, cider and some other picnicworthy items. And then there’s the nursery, a maze of greenhouses filled with bedding plants and vegetable starts, potted ferns and coleus and tuberous rooted begonias, which were developed by Imwalle’s grandfather, Joseph. When he moved to the United States from Germany in 1885 at the age of 21, Joseph was already a skilled horticulturalist. For years, he saved up to buy 15 acres on West Third Street in Santa Rosa, which at its heyday blossomed to a population of 60. But from a business standpoint, flowers weren’t enough—“You can’t make a living just selling shrubs,” Imwalle points ) 14

Imwalle( 13 out—so Joseph started growing vegetables for his burgeoning truck-garden business. “He used to deliver by horse and buggy,” says Imwalle, who was eight when his grandfather died. “The horses knew the way to the customers’ houses and knew how to get back home again.” According to his granddaughters, Joseph was a talented, classy man: he did his hoeing in a suit and tie, often collaborated with friend Luther Burbank and won a gold medal at the San Francisco World’s Fair in 1915. The farm’s business survived the inevitable grind of development, especially the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937, which gave people access to San Francisco’s farmers markets stocked with Central Valley produce. Joseph’s two sons, Joseph II and Henry, took over the business when he retired in the 1940s, expanding the acreage with a hop yard and prune orchard. Once again, the business survived another disruption in the form of Highway 12, which bisected the property and cut half the land off from the creek’s water supply. Eventually Joe III, who’d been learning the farming business since his first steps, graduated from Santa Rosa Junior College and joined the Marine Corp Reserve. Had he done better in English, he would’ve liked to become a teacher, like his mother and sisters. Fate had it otherwise: in 1966, when Imwalle was 23 years old and in the Marine Corp Reserve, his father died, bequeathing his half of the business to his only son. When his uncle retired, Imwalle bought him out, split the land and continued farming. Imwalle tends to speak not in dates but in time passed. He remembers when Santa Rosa was a nice little friendly town of 17,000 people who moved about with relative ease. Forty-five years ago, he marvels, you could buy a beautiful home with hardwood

floors, a fireplace and a two-car garage for $14,000. Twentyfive years ago, he’d wake up at midnight twice a week and trek to San Francisco to buy and trade produce. One hundred and twenty-seven years after its founding, the family truck-garden business lives on, keeping many local restaurants, from La Gare to the Union Hotel, in supply of wholesale produce. The fourth generation of Imwalles are all actively involved—in addition to Charles, Imwalle’s sons Paul and Joe IV work there part-time, and his daughter Angela, who also lives on the property with her family, helps out a lot. Thanks to his recent business boom, “the work days are longer now than they were 10 years ago,” says Imwalle, who, along with Charles, works from 7:30am until 6:30pm most days of the week. In the evening, he sits at his kitchen table, typically taking about two dozen produce orders by phone while watching the shows he likes best—Dancing with the Stars, college football, Family Feud. “Charles works just as hard as I do,” he tells me more than once. Much has been made about the value of Imwalle’s property, smack in the middle of the city, a developer’s dream. Several years ago, at the height of the market, Imwalle’s two sisters sold off their 10-acre share. But when I ask him about the worth of his share, he is characteristically nonchalant. “Four or five years ago, it was worth a lot,” he admits. “But now the value is much less.” Imwalle shrugs and continues, “Money isn’t everything. Health is more important, and the joy you get from work. I’ve lived here my whole life,” he tells me, “and I’m gonna die here.” The phone rings and a customer pops his head in, asking about the best price for onions for this weekend’s polenta dinner. Imwalle will get him 20 pounds by Friday morning. When I tell him nearly 45 minutes have passed, he’s surprised. It’s time to get back to work.

Red Blends

Varietal stews are melting off the shelves BY JAMES KNIGHT

I

n recent years, sales of inexpensive red blended wine, have taken off, and a lonely sea of Syrah has been given a new role in sexing up the old California recipe of Zin and Cab. Red blends are now poised to overtake Merlot. Bohemian staffers assembled to offer their considered opinions on a blind sampling from this category, scoring wines on a scale of one to five stars. (Asterisked prices are approximate.) E&J Gallo 2011 ‘Apothic’ California Red Blend ($11*) A blend of Cab, Zin, Syrah and Merlot, Apothic is prototypical of this style. Another winery told me that they analyzed it in the lab, “because we were curious,â€? and found it had 1.5 percent residual sugar—not exactly “sweetâ€? but well above “dry.â€? The clear favorite before scores were tallied. Aromas of crème de cassis, black olive, leather, blueberry-vanilla and a bold yet silky palate. Curiously, it was twice compared to beer: “Guinnessy,â€? and like Anderson Valley’s Summer Solstice cream ale. ++++ Jellybean 2010 California Cabernet Sauvignon ($11*) The opposite of Apothic’s gothy mystery look, here’s an obvious come-on which says, right on the label, that it’s “bursting with sweet, juicy fruit flavors . . . just like the colorful candy you love.â€? It was hard to dislike at the end of the tasting, anyway: simple, sweet black cherry juice, lip-smacking, round, gumball finish. From Petaluma-based Offbeat Brands. ++++ St. Francis 2011 ‘Red Splash’ California ($12.99) Red berry fruit, vanilla and chocolate, a, nicely-knit finish; a “sleeper hit.â€? ++++ Adler Fels ‘Totally Random’ California Sweet Red ($10) The label has its own Facebook and Twitter logos. Stop trying to push them, drink the wine. Anise and bitter herb aroma, but sweet strawberry jam flavor. Very Lodi Zin. ++++ Fetzer 2010 “Crimsonâ€? California Red Blend ($8*) See how the “jeans patchâ€?-style label incorporates Fetzer’s oak-tree theme while getting the “fun wineâ€? message across.

Toasted dusty oak, spicy chocolate, chocolatecovered cherry.

Honoring the Arts

W

The Bohemian’s 16th annual Boho Awards

e always were the types of people to pore over the fine print. Liner notes on album sleeves, closing credits at the end of movies, production notes buried in the back pages of a playbill—here in the Bohemian offices, we’re more likely to be racking our brains over who served as key grip in a hit film than who played the starring role. It’s the same with covering the arts regionally, as we’ve done for over 30 years. Certain names will pop up regularly in that fine print and lodge themselves in our minds. People behind the soundboard, in the wings, running the lights or, as so often is the case, in a tiny closet of an office— these are the people who run the show but rarely get noticed. Every year, for 16 years now, we take

notice of these people. Our annual Boho Awards honor those who’ve made significant contributions to the arts in the North Bay, and not always with applause or recognition. These people and places include Martin Hamilton, who’s turned the Arlene Francis Center into the eye of a cutting-edge art and music storm in Santa Rosa; the Sonoma County Museum, long overdue to be honored, not just for top-notch art exhibits but for its role in our communal history and new outreach programs and expansion; Point Reyes Books, which brings top literary names to West Marin and hosts the Geography of Hope conference; Sheila-Groves Tracey, who for 26 years has brought thousands of bands to play in every county in the North Bay; and the Sebastopol Center for the Arts, a little idea that’s blossomed, 25 years later, into an organization we can’t imagine living without. The following profiles will tell you a little bit about why we’ve chosen each honoree

as a Boho Award recipient. But to truly understand the work performed by these dedicated people, we encourage readers to get out of the house and visit an opening, attend a performance or seek out a street festival. We live in an area incredibly robust for the arts, and it’s a testament to this creative drive that we manage to keep finding deserving movers and shakers to celebrate in these pages year after year. You can help us celebrate this year’s Boho Award winners in a special soiree on Thursday, Nov. 7, at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts (282 S. High St., Sebastopol; admission $5). Starting at 5:30pm and replete with performances by the Transcendence Theatre Co. and our own David Templeton, it’ll feature food, drinks, winners, toasts, speeches from all winners, mingling, lingering and all things good and well with the world. Just like the arts are supposed to be. See you there, and read on! —Gabe Meline

ith all of the dancing, craft beer, young artists in glitter and leather and compelling conversation happening in the shadows of an edgy, colorful Bud Snow mural, a recent block party outside the Sonoma County Museum could have been mistaken for a night out in Brooklyn or Los Angeles. Next door, as the moon rose high in the sky, art lovers checked out work by Tina Modotti, Edward Weston and Graciela Iturbide, part of a “Photography in Mexico” exhibition on loan from the SFMOMA, while upstairs in museum offices, developing plans to expand and offer even more art to the community percolated. This stellar evening of art and community is just one example of how the area’s only collecting art and history museum between San Francisco and Portland has ramped up programming, outreach and exhibitions in the North Bay since visionary executive director Diane Evans (pictured) took over the reins in 2008. And these are just a few of the many reasons why it’s about time we give the Sonoma County Museum a long overdue, welldeserved Boho Award. Evans says that the museum, a Smithsonian affiliate, has been in expansion mode for the past five years but has lacked the physical space needed to put on the kinds of art and history exhibitions they’d like to host. After shelving a plan to move the contemporary art collection into the old AT&T building located on Third Street in Santa Rosa, it was announced that the museum would instead take over the building at 505 B St., previously leased to Conklin Bros. This leaves the 1910 Post Office building as the designated spot for the museum’s vast historical archives, managed by Eric Stanley.

Evans wasted no time enlisting three local artists, Julia Davis (who signs her murals “Bud Snow”), Judy Kennedy and Carlos de Villasante to dress the non-descript brown building in gorgeous, streetart-inspired murals, establishing a trend toward collaborative relationships with young and emerging arts in Sonoma County. The museum has also put out a call for artists, dancers and musicians to stage pop-up events in the large, currently empty warehouse space as funds are raised to build a new art museum. “Our future is exciting, as SCM has a real opportunity to become a significant art center for the region,” explains Evans, citing the property’s debt-free status and strong programming, board and staff. “This will allow us to build our art collection—something we have not been able to do without dedicated exhibition and storage space. At the same time, we will finally be able to bring our collections out from storage and develop a focused regional history program.” Currently, the museum houses a collection of 20,000 artworks and historic objects. In addition to fine art, the

and an exhibition focusing on the emergence of the environmental movement in California. Evans says there will also be a continued focus on art workshops dedicated to collecting stories from immigrant communities. “Our focus is on bringing outstanding exhibitions and education programs to Sonoma County that cannot be seen elsewhere in the region,” explains Evans, who plans on working with collectors and artists to expand the collection now that the physical space is available. “My favorite exhibitions are those where we’ve been able to make strong connections with artists, museums and communities both in the county and around the world.”

sitting on an old couch in the center’s front room. “Entertainment and culture is so driven by money all the time.” For the last three years, Hamilton has grown the Arlene Francis Center into a lightning rod for the region’s artistic community, operating the large brick warehouse on the

Recent exhibitions have included “Margins to Mainstream,” which focused on artists with disabilities in the region; a history exhibition about Santa Rosa’s Chinatown that shed light on a little-known area of the city’s past; and body mapping workshops, funded through the Irvine Foundation, which shared the stories of immigrants in Sonoma County. In 2014, museum-goers can look forward to exhibitions with work by contemporary Korean artists from Jeju Island, a sister city of Santa Rosa.

Boho Awards ( 19 edges of Railroad Square with an eye not toward money but toward art, community, social change and culture. For this, we’re more than pleased to honor him with a Boho Award. On any given week, Hamilton serves as manager, teacher, student, bartender, neighborhood liaison and guiding force at the Santa Rosa hotspot. In addition to music, the AFC regularly hosts art shows, ďŹ lm premieres, poetry gatherings, Renaissance music, dance performances, theater productions, food workshops, fermentation workshops, Bach choral recitals and just about anything else that meets the center’s criteria. “Part of it is, what constitutes a meaningful activity?â€? asks Hamilton, theoretically. “And sometimes you have to stretch to ďŹ nd the meaning of, like, a heavy metal concert. And then I do!â€? Hamilton relates a story of welcoming a group of 18-year-olds to the center who’d hitchhiked from L.A. solely to see a headlining punk band; at the end of the show, one emerged from the mosh pit, sweaty and ushed, “and he said, ‘Hey Martin, thank you very much. This was one of the best experiences of my whole life.’ “It was one of the times that I really appreciated that there was the old-fashioned part of me that said ‘I shouldn’t do this, this is dangerous’ versus what turned out to be a loving mosh pit. I felt like they had gone to the Hajj, in Saudi Arabia, moving around the cobblestone.â€? Only Hamilton could compare a mosh pit to the Hajj, probably due to his illustrious background. Born and raised in St. Louis in a Catholic family of 11 siblings, Hamilton moved to Los Angeles when his father, a factory manager, was relocated. After his junior year of high school, he visited Haight Street in the summer of 1967, and everything changed. He attended USF, and was later hired at the New College of California in 1977. As for the building at 99 Sixth St., it was eventually purchased by

Hamilton’s New College partner, Peter Gabel, under the banner of the Arlene Francis Foundation. (Francis, the charismatic Hollywood actress best known for her episode-stealing turns on the television show What’s My Line?, was Peter’ mother; his father was Martin Gabel, an actor who worked with Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder and Humphrey Bogart.) A former our-processing plant that served, over the years, as a moving warehouse, a brewery, a winery and more, the building housed the Santa Rosa branch of the New College of California until its collapse in 2008. Soon, Hamilton started meeting younger music fans and bands eager to use the space as an all-ages venue. It wasn’t long before art started hanging on the walls. Then a poetry organization came in for a weekend. Hamilton had harnessed the proverbial snowball and pushed it off the hill, and the center started gathering more and more snow. “I do feel that many of the volunteers here really are such creative and wonderful people,â€? says Hamilton. “It just shows you the capacity for human beings to do the right thing. So that motivates me. And just giving people a chance. Otherwise, the culture doesn’t give them much chance.â€? And on this night, Halloween, instead of an alcohol-drenched meat market? The best of the Arlene Francis Center is on offer: the Crux performing songs from the original musical The Ratcatcher with actors from the Imaginists Theatre Co., live trapeze and breakdancing, tarot readings, African xylophone, black-light dancers and more, all under one roof. “Hopefully, there’s some of the best aspects of the work of trying to take seriously our life on earth and the responsibility of social change and fairness and equity and justice,â€? says Hamilton of his work at the Arlene Francis Center. “And not forgetting the spiritual aspects of life—the way arts make you feel better, music and how it moves you in certain ways, and just the joy of it all.â€?

Point Reyes Books West Marin’s great literary center BY DANI BURLISON

F

rom the outside looking in, the ecologically diverse, remote slice of West Marin seems an unlikely hub for world-class literary events. But Point Reyes Books, established nearly 12 years ago by husbandand-wife team Steve Costa and Kate Levinson (pictured), has fostered a growing community of readers, writers and lovers of all things local that has attracted top literary talent, earning a welldeserved Boho Award this year. “We were friends with the owner of the Brown Study Bookshop, which carried primarily used

books and was, at best, open a few days a week,â€? says Levinson of the store’s beginnings. “One night when we were having dinner with her, about a year after she ďŹ rst told us she was selling the store, she told us she was lowering the price.â€? Neither Costa nor Levinson had any prior retail experience, but the following morning, Costa woke up and told his wife that he wanted to buy the store. “Steve was not to be deterred by our being weekenders and both having full-time jobs,â€? says Levinson. They purchased the store in May 2002. What the pair eventually ) 22

created was not merely access to shelves of bestsellers alongside independently published and used books in their homey, hardwood-floored store on Highway 1; aside from big names like Michael Pollan, Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, Michael Ondaatje, T. C. Boyle, Pam Houston, Joanna Macy and Frances McDormand as featured guests at their many readings, the store has become the focal point for numerous successful community events. Point Reyes Books is often a key collaborator and driving force behind fundraisers for area nonprofits, environmental field trips, author dinners, film nights and the semi-annual Geography of Hope conference. It is also a sponsor of the Point Reyes farmers market, raising money for the last 10 years to help with the market’s operating costs. As if that doesn’t keep them busy enough, they also publish the West Marin Review, a literary journal that features the work of local writers and visual artists. Levinson attributes the continued success of the store to local shoppers, and to the tourists that stop in downtown Point Reyes Station. But anyone who knows the couple can attest to their kindness, generosity and commitment to being incredible booksellers. The spirit of community is almost palpable when one steps through their doors. They’ve created a book lovers paradise, and have helped strengthen the relationships among the creative talent that populates the ever-fascinating world of West Marin. “People get to know one another in the bookstore and at bookstore events. Sometimes they strike up a conversation, sometimes we introduce them to one another, sometimes we ask them to work together on events we are organizing,” says Levinson, who adores her customers and the greater bookselling community. “Our hearts and minds have been so enriched.”

22 Boho Awards ( 21

Sheila GrovesTracey The tireless force behind the music BY GABE MELINE

I

t was 1987, and Sheila GrovesTracey found herself in need of a job. She picked up the phone and called up New George’s in San Rafael. “I thought, ‘Booking’s kind of fun, and I’m doing OK with my own band. Maybe I’ll try it,’” she recalls. That fateful rumination would prove transformative for the North Bay’s music community, as Groves-Tracey would go on to become the top talent buyer for the area. Twenty-six years later, she has booked literally thousands of bands, in dozens of venues. Often in the wings and out of sight of the regular fan, she is the force behind generations of North Bay residents’ musical memories. Because of this, we’re pleased to honor her with a Boho Award. Hardworking and courageous, Groves-Tracey established a name for herself early. Within a year of taking the New George’s job, she got a call from Neil Young’s manager to book a Bay Area tour. Also in those early days came a remarkable night with Jerry Garcia and Carlos Santana both sitting in with Los Lobos at New George’s. Melissa Etheridge played the San Rafael club. The Red Hot Chili Peppers played there. The Grateful Dead

filmed a video on its stage. For seven years, Groves-Tracey was at the center of the Marin scene. After leaving New George’s, the Petaluma local turned briefly to the Cotati Cabaret, booking a little-known band called Primus on “dollar Tuesdays” before starting a long run at the Mystic Theatre. “And then we did Train on dollar Thursdays at the Mystic!” she says, remembering how, when the band got huge, they returned to the venue for a special tour kickoff. Cake, Ben Harper, Santana, the Blind Boys of Alabama, the Blasters, R. L. Burnside, Gillian Welch—the list of highlight acts that came through the Mystic Theatre during her 12-year tenure is so long that Groves-Tracey can’t keep track of them all. During that time, she also acted in local plays—How I Learned to Drive, Medea the Musical, Joined at the Head, Foxfire, Smell of the Kill—and played in local bluegrass and country bands. She also offered plenty of local bands opportunities for sharing the stage with their musical idols. “One of the things I love the most about booking is booking the openers,” she says, “because they so appreciate it, it means so much to them. And when they’re really

good, and everybody appreciates them, that feels so good to go, ‘Yeah, see? Aren’t they great?’” In 2010, she was offered the job of general manager at the newly renovated Uptown Theatre in Napa. It wasn’t a booking job, but of course, you can’t keep a good woman down. After eight months, Groves-Tracey was booking the Uptown, too, bringing in Willie Nelson, Devo, the Pixies, Built to Spill, Boz Scaggs, Del the Funkee Homosapien, Lucinda Williams and plenty of others to the restored theater in the past four years. And then came BottleRock. In just three months, Groves-Tracey was hired by the music festival and single-handedly booked over 50 bands—big ones, “half-milliondollar-offer type things”—for what would turn out to be a huge success while the festival was happening and a financial disaster in the aftermath. BottleRock organizers currently owe over $2 million to workers, stagehands, vendors, caterers and others. Groves-Tracey has no part in the money that’s owed, and in fact, isn’t immune from the woes of the festival that she herself booked: she’s still owed $50,000. “You know, it’s such a bummer, because I worked so hard,” she says now, resignedly. “It was such a massive, huge thing. And I couldn’t wait for it to be over so I could say, ‘I did it! I did it, and it worked!’ And I can’t quite do that, because it’s hard to celebrate knowing that people are owed money.” Just this week, Groves-Tracey has left the Uptown to pursue a new phase in life as the new owner of the Twin Oaks Tavern in Penngrove, a roadside honkytonk built in 1924 that’s perfect for Groves-Tracey’s simple-life outlook. Sitting at the back patio, the wind rustling through the trees and the occasional semi-truck lumbering by, she talks about plans for parking-lot parties, weekend concerts and even blues karaoke in the rustic landmark. “I love the idea of going back to the basics and the roots of music, where you’re not at the rock star level with the riders and the attitudes and the tour managers,” she says, relief evident on her face. “But this? This is just music. Let’s just play some music. Grab your banjo. Let’s play.”

Twenty-ďŹ ve years of a good idea, with no bounds BY DAVID TEMPLETON

‘

T

he North Bay arts scene, especially here in Sonoma County, is abundant,â€? says Linda Galletta (pictured), executive director of the Sebastopol Center for the Arts. “This is an area that, per capita, has more artists, writers, musicians and poets than anywhere else.â€? For 25 years, the Sebastopol Center for the Arts has been a vibrant and vital source of support and inspiration for those artists, as well as for the wider community in which those artists work, create and dream, making it a perfect Boho Award recipient. Many folks, however, do not remember exactly how humble its beginnings were one quarter of a century ago. “The center actually started out as three ďŹ le folders in my bottom desk drawer at the Sebastopol Chamber of Commerce,â€? says Galletta, who worked for the COC at the time as an economic program specialist. “The center for the arts was initially

a program of the chamber of commerce, where the economic development committee thought it would be a very cool idea to create a subcommittee that addressed the needs of artists and musicians and writers—not just for the artists, but as an economic development element for the community.â€? After three years, an offer came from the pastor at the Sebastopol United Methodist Church, which had a large basement area it was interested in making available to local nonproďŹ t organizations. “We thought, oh my goodness, we could actually move out of these desk drawers and into our own physical space,â€? says Galletta. They spent ďŹ ve years there, eventually moving to a 1,500-squarefoot A-frame building next to a lumberyard. “So we moved into the A-frame, and suddenly there was an explosion of growth and activity,â€? she recalls. “We saw many

more people coming in, and our programs began expanding.â€? It was obvious that the little arts organization was making a habit of growing and growing. Another move came six years later, to a 9,200-square-foot location on Depot Street, where they remained for another 10 years. After all of this nomadic activity, Galletta says the Sebastopol Community Arts Center—having developed a series of classes, performances and gallery shows featuring international participation from artists of all kinds—needed to settle down into what would be a permanent home. “In 2007 and 2008, we began looking for what would be a sustainable, long-term home for this organization,â€? Galletta says. “We began talking to the county of Sonoma, who at the same time had a building in the heart of the community—the veterans hall—that was aging and underutilized, costing the county hundreds of thousands of dollars to maintain and operate.â€? After two years of negotiating, a deal was struck giving the Sebastopol Center for the Arts a nearly unheard of 30-year-lease on the building at the edge of Ives Park. Last year, Galletta and her team took over operations, beginning work on an ambitious renovating and remodeling plan that will turn the 17,800-square-foot facility into a vital, multifaceted destination for artists, writers, ďŹ lmmakers, musicians and performers of all kinds. “The new building has given us the ability to expand our programming and classes,â€? she explains. “It gives us so much more potential. We gained an auditorium with a real stage. The building also came with two grand pianos—and we already had one of our own, so now we have three. The county has been delighted with the improvements we’ve made to the building, turning it into a facility that can serve all of Sonoma County, both residents and visitors.â€? For Galletta, the real fun comes from working with so many brilliant artists. “I love artists! They are a different breed of person,â€? she laughs. “They are a breed that sees no boundaries. Artists are always looking ahead. It’s inspiring to be around them.â€?

OVERDUE David Strathairn asks: Who keeps a library book for 113 years?

Fighting Fate David Strathairn is obsessed librarian in ‘Lintel’ BY DAVID TEMPLETON

T

he search for meaning is a daunting subject for any play, but that hasn’t stopped playwrights from tackling the topic over and over. From the very beginning of the dramatic art form, the best plays have been those that pit humans against the ravages of fate.

Playwright Glen Berger (cowriter of Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway and the Emmy-winning animated series The Octonauts) has long been attracted to such big questions, and in his sneaky philosophical fantasy Underneath the Lintel (through Nov. 17 at American Conservatory Theater, in San Francisco), he addresses weighty issues while maintaining a light, comic touch. A one-actor show, this mostly

ADVERTORIAL

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest 6th Street Playhouse has another success on its hands, this time an authentic revival of the Dale Wasserman/Ken Kesey classic “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,� ably directed by Lennie Dean. Edward P. McCloud brings plenty of swagger to the role of iconoclastic troublemaker Randle P. McMurphy; his nemesis is the ice-cold manipulator Nurse Ratched, played by Critics Circle Best Actress winner Jill Zimmerman.

Dallas Munger and Alan Kaplan are standouts as psych-ward patients Harding and Scanlon, and Nick Christenson is an imposing and confident presence as Chief Bromden. A special treat is Stacey Kerr’s early-1960s slide show whose rapid-fire black-and-white images go a long way toward establishing an era that in terms of treating the mentally ill (or the merely uncooperative) was the equivalent of surgery when it was performed by barbers. Perhaps not much has changed—lobotomies are rarely done now, but only because we have drugs that are more effective than scalpels. Fifty years after its debut, “Cuckoo’s Nest� still provides plenty of food for thought. —Barry Willis President, SF Bay Area Theater Critics Circle

Stage

lively production of Underneath the Lintel features stage and screen star David Strathairn (Lincoln, Good, Night and Good Luck, Dolores Claiborne) playing the befuddled librarian as he describes his journey around the world in search of the anonymous gentleman who recently returned a library book 113 years after it was checked out. Strathairn is marvelous in the role, straddling an array of simultaneous emotions and conicting impulses. Directed by Carey Perloff, furnished within the cluttered backstage of an enormous rundown theater, the play begins as a straightforward comedy but gradually moves into unexpectedly absurdist terrain, as the librarian displays the various scraps and pieces of “lovely evidenceâ€? he’s collected on his obsessive adventure around the globe. It bogs down a bit in all the detail but builds up to a heck of a twist: the librarian’s far-fetched conclusion that the globe-hopping mystery man with such astonishing longevity might actually be the mythical ďŹ gure known as “the Wandering Jew.â€? An odd but enduring bit of medieval trivia, the Wandering Jew—an ever-evolving ancient Christian cautionary tale— describes a cobbler from Jerusalem who, fearing the Romans, refuses to allow Jesus of Nazareth to rest on his doorstep while carrying his cross to Calvary, and as punishment, the cobbler is forced by God to wander the earth for all eternity. Where the librarian—and playwright Berger—take this tale might surprise those Medieval gentlemen who originally envisioned it. Berger uses the story to ask hard questions about what lengths to which some people will go whenever God or fate or the simple twists and turns of life hand them a raw deal. In Underneath the Lintel, the answer is as inspiring as it is thought-provoking. Rating (out of ďŹ ve): ++++

Movies on the Move Napa Valley Film Fest returns

BY CHRISTINA JULIAN

Y

ear three of the Napa Valley Film Festival (NVFF) throws off elitist hints of Tinseltown in favor of come-one, come-all camaraderie, according to festival cofounder and producer Brenda Lhormer. “This year, we wanted to make the festival more open, in every way, to anybody,” she says. “We’ve expanded programming so it would be more accessible to all ages, interests and economic levels.” In years past, the only way to bump elbows with A-listers entailed lobbying for rush tickets or ponying up for a festival pass. But this year, the general public get gratis entry to certain parts of the fest, including access to the new LifeStyle Pavilion, dubbed the hub for all things wine, food and film. Also open to the public and pass holders (who get

first-entry rights, access to parties and red carpet walks, plus free-flowing wine, food and more) are culinary demos, “Festival Front Porches” and free filmindustry panels (including “Actors in Conversation” on Sunday, Nov. 17, with celebs Ralph Macchio and Glee’s Dianna Agron expected). At the Napa River Inn, more edgy and adventurous fare is screened. The Crash Reel, following snowboarder Kevin Pearce (and the Shaun White rivalry) in the wake of his brain injury, is a sure bet. Other films includes The Bounceback, with its raunchy romp into the world of Austin’s honky-tonks and “air sex” competitions. Anita Hill is on deck for Q&As following screenings of the documentary Anita, chronicling the 1991 senate hearings of her sexual harassment claim against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. And music fans that missed Dave Grohl’s directorial debut, Sound City, can catch the Foo Fighter for an encore screening and Q&A at the Uptown on Nov. 17. Mainstream film junkies can hit the Nov. 13 opening-night screening of August: Osage County (starring Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep) and Thursday night’s Saving Mr. Banks, replete with a red-carpet strut for Colin Farrell, who stars opposite Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson. Farrell is also slated to settle in for an in-depth talk with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush at the Lincoln Theater’s Celebrity Tribute on Nov. 15. Recently added screenings include Jason Reitman’s Labor Day with Kate Winslet and Out of the Furnace with Christian Bale. If all that isn’t enough, the festival’s “Movies on the Move” feature should get attention with its impromptu outdoor screenings. Scout the next showing via Twitter, or simply look for the Cadillac Escalade around town, toting a screen. With the NVFF in town, it looks like November is no longer “seasonal slump” time in wine country. The Napa Valley Film Festival runs Nov. 13–17 at various venues around Napa County.

Green Music Center lures former president of New York Philharmonic After the departure of Emmanuel Morlet as artistic director of the Green Music Center last month, classical music insiders were left to wonder what developments might be taking place. “We are somewhat befuddled by his disappearance,” wrote the San Francisco Classical Voice in October. “Top officials of the Board are Sandy Weill (chair), Joan Weill and Marne Olson (vice-chair). But no artistic director?” Now it can be told: Sandy Weill, former CEO of Citigroup and namesake of the center’s main hall, has lured Zarin Mehta, former president of the New York Philharmonic, to the role of executive director. In a highly unusual financing deal, Weill will pay 80 percent of Mehta’s $300,000 annual salary. Additionally, Mehta does not plan to move to the area full-time, staying instead in his home base of Chicago. “It’s the opportunity to create a public, to create culture,” Mehta told the New York Times last week of his new job. “I will be there as long as it takes to make this thing a huge success, because the people merit it.” Though he’s taken the reins with zeal, Weill doesn’t plan on supporting the Green Music Center, whose success or failure is tied to the state university’s finances, entirely on his own. Members of his board are expected to contribute $50,000 per year. The center’s next major hurdle is the long-anticipated opening of Schroeder Hall, a recital space for students of the university’s music program, due to open next year.—Gabe Meline

Space Oddity Chris Hadfield makes us all want to be astronauts Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is one of the universe’s better-known space personalities, thanks to his version of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” and its corresponding viral video, recorded while floating weightless with a guitar on the International Space Station. Likewise, Hadfield is a social-media maven, tweeting photos from space, hosting online Q&A sessions, posting videos about his work and traveling the world as a keynote speaker. In his interviews, he expresses a sentiment, similar to that of other astronauts, that life is precious. If NASA had a Chris Hadfield, there might not be so many budget cuts (or there would at least be more outrage at the current ones). When he’s back upon terra firma, Hadfield is a regular at speaking engagements, answering questions about everyday life in space. (How do you go to the bathroom without gravity? How do you sleep in space? What does space smell like?) Though he often waxes philosophical, possibly his most interesting comment was about his facial hair: he trims his awesome pushbroom mustache with scissors and a vacuum cleaner. Now that’s dedication to the ’stache. Chris Hadfield reads from his new book An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth on Saturday, Nov. 9, at Book Passage. 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera. 4pm. Free. 415.927.0960.—Nicolas Grizzle

For the week of November 6

ARIES (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a big fan of fear. It gets far more attention than it deserves. The media and entertainment industries practically worship it, and many of us allow ourselves to be riddled with toxic amounts of the stuff. Having said that, though, I do want to put in a good word for fear. Now and then, it keeps us from doing stupid things. It prods us to be wiser and act with more integrity. It forces us to see the truth when we might prefer to wallow in delusion. Now is one of those times for you, Aries. Thank your fear for helping to wake you up.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poetry might be deďŹ ned as the clear expression of mixed feelings,â&#x20AC;? wrote W. H. Auden. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, then your job is to be a poet right now. You seem to be awash in a hubbub of paradoxical inclinations, complete with conďŹ&#x201A;icting desires and mismatched truths. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shame or blame in that. But you do have a responsibility to communicate your complexity with honesty and precision. If you can manage that, people will treat you with affection and give you extra slack. They might even thank you.

GEMINI (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20) What can you do to improve your ďŹ&#x201A;ow? Are there obstructions in your environment that keep you from having a more ďŹ&#x201A;uidic rhythm? Do you harbor negative beliefs that make it harder for life to bestow its natural blessings on you? Now is the time to take care of glitches like these, Gemini. You have more power than usual to eliminate constrictions and dissolve ďŹ xations. Your intuition will be strong when you use it to drum up graceful luck for your personal use. Be aggressive. Be bold. Be lyrical. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high time for you to slip into a smooth groove. CANCER (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22)

In the beginning of his novel The White Castle, Orhan Pamuk offers this meditation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To imagine that a person who intrigues us has access to a way of life unknown and all the more attractive for its mystery, to believe that we will begin to live only through the love of that personâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what else is this but the birth of great passion?â&#x20AC;? How do you respond to this provocative statement, Cancerian? Here are my thoughts: On the one hand, maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not healthy for you to fantasize that a special someone can give you what you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give yourself. On the other hand, believing this is true may inspire you to take an intriguing risk that would catalyze invigorating transformations. Which is it? Now is a good time to ruminate on these matters.

LEO (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;August 22) Canadians Tommy Larkin and Stephen Goosney are biological brothers, but they were adopted by different families when they were young. They lost touch for almost 30 years. Once they began looking for each other, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to be reunited. Nor did they have to travel far to celebrate. It turns out that they were living across the street from each other in the same small town in Newfoundland. I foresee a metaphorically similar experience in your future, Leo. When you get reconnected to your past, you will ďŹ nd that it has been closer than you realized. VIRGO (August 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;September 22) This will be an excellent week for you to talk with yourselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or rather, with yourselves. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m envisioning in-depth conversations between your inner saint and your inner evil twin . . . between the hard worker and the lover of creature comforts . . . between the eager-to-please servant of the greater good and the self-sufďŹ cient smarty whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedicated to personal success. I think that in at least some of these confabs, you should speak every word out loud. You should gesture with your hands and express colorful body language. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime time for your different sub-personalities to get to know each other better. LIBRA (September 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;October 22) In the coming week you will probably have more luck than usual if you play keno, craps, blackjack, bingo or roulette. People who owe you money will be inclined to pay you back, so you might want to give them a nudge. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if you ďŹ nd a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk or if a store cashier accidentally gives you way too much change. In the wake of these tendencies, your main assignment is to be alert for opportunities to

increase your cash ďŹ&#x201A;ow. For example, if you wake up in the middle of the night with an idea for boosting your ďŹ nancial fortunes, I hope you will have a pen and notebook by the bed to write it down.

SCORPIO (October 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;November 21)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not for all the whiskey in heaven,â&#x20AC;? begins a poem by Charles Bernstein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not for all the ďŹ&#x201A;ies in Vermont. Not for all the tears in the basement. Not for a million trips to Mars. Not for all the ďŹ re in hell. Not for all the blue in the sky.â&#x20AC;? Can you guess what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving at? Those are the things he will gladly do without in order to serve his passion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, never, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never stop loving you,â&#x20AC;? he concludes. According to my understanding of your astrological cycle, Scorpio, now is a good time for you to make a comparable pledge. What is the one passion you promise to devote yourself to above all others? And what are you willing to live without in order to focus on that passion? Be extravagant, pure, wild and explicit.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 21) Dmitri Razumikhin is a character in Fyodor Dostoyevskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel Crime and Punishment. His surname is derived from the Russian word for â&#x20AC;&#x153;reason.â&#x20AC;? At one point, he makes a drunken speech that includes these observations: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! Not one single truth has ever been arrived at without people ďŹ rst having talked a dozen reams of nonsense, even ten dozen reams of it.â&#x20AC;? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make this a centerpiece of your current strategy, Sagittarius. Just assume that in order to ferret out the core insights that will fuel your next transformations, you may need to speak and hear a lot of babble.

CAPRICORN (December 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;January 19) At the 2013 Grammy Awards, actor Neil Patrick Harris introduced the band Fun this way: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As legendary gangster rap icon Katharine Hepburn once said, if you follow all the rules, you miss all the fun.â&#x20AC;? Everything about that vignette is a template for the approach you can use now with great success. You should gravitate toward festive events and convivial gatherings. Whenever possible, you should sponsor, activate and pave the way for fun. Toward that end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally permissible for you to tell amusing stories that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly factual and that bend the rules not quite to the breaking point. AQUARIUS (January 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;February 18)

Some spiritual traditions regard the ego as a bad thing. They imply itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the source of sufferingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a chronically infected pustule that must be regularly lanced and drained. I understand this argument. The ego has probably been the single most destructive force in the history of civilization. But I also think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our sacred duty to redeem and rehabilitate it. After all, we often need our egos in order to get important things done. Our egos give us the conďŹ dence to push through difďŹ culties. They motivate us to work hard to achieve our dreams. Your assignment, Aquarius, is to beautify your ego as you strengthen it. Build your self-esteem without stirring up arrogance. Love yourself brilliantly, not neurotically. Express your talents in ways that stimulate others to express their talents.

PISCES (February 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20)

Dr. Seuss wrote his childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books in English, but he liked to stretch the limits of his native tongue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Zâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and start poking around,â&#x20AC;? he said. One of the extra letters he found out there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;yuzz,â&#x20AC;? which he used to spell the made-up word â&#x20AC;&#x153;yuzz-a-ma-tuzz.â&#x20AC;? I recommend that you take after Seussâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not only in the way you speak, but also in the ways you work, play, love, dream and seek adventure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to explore the territory beyond your comfort zone.
