Waste Not, Want Not

I’ve been following Bea Johnson for a few years (“The Simple Life,” Oct. 9). This is one of the best articles on her admirable pursuits

I’ve seen yet. Thanks again for sharing your lifestyle with us, Bea, especially in the face of rude and ignorant commentary by those who are too set in their wasting ways to consider adopting some zero-waste choices.

ADRIENNE HUTCHINSONVia online

Pioneer woman! This is awesome—I love my zero-waste lifestyle. Let’s get down to the basics. I feel the same way about my glass pantry, and, yes, the food should be the star. Simplicity in surroundings can be very helpful mentally and emotionally, but also in a very practical sense when it comes to cleaning.

JESSICA SILVAVia online

Great article! I’m so grateful that Bea has the courage to open up and share her story. I’ve learned so much from her over the years—she’s such an inspiration!

CHELSEA GALEVia online

At the beginning of the article “The Simple Life,” I was on board because my mom always said that if you can’t make the world better, don’t make it worse, and Bea Johnson certainly is trying to make things better.

But when I continued on and read that she eats meat, I jumped off the bandwagon. Ms. Johnson certainly should know that the raising of cattle for human consumption is one of the biggest things that pollute our world.

And what’s up with the television? That

would have been the first thing I got rid of. Besides, I don’t think that “Pa Ingalls” had one. Hey Bea, you wanna save the planet? Jump in all the way; cut out the sugar, flour, etc. Do yourself a real favor and eat green. Then you will be saving more than just money. You will be saving you and your family’s health.

DAVID DALESonoma

Freeway to Nowhere?Thank you for printing such a wonderful article and making this important topic your front-page story (“Bypass Mayhem,” Oct. 2). You know Caltrans has really blown it when hundreds of ordinary citizens take to the streets, trees and wick drains. This rogue outfit is so out-of-control, all over the state, that it has rolled over the oversight agencies and most elected officials. Because of the Willits protests, a Contra Costa legislator is moving a bill to rein in this greedy beast. Please continue coverage of grassroots actions.

PATRICIA KOVNERLaytonville

Thank you, Ms. Dovey, for presenting the environmentalist’s perspective in your story concerning Caltrans’ actions in Little Lake Valley. Caltrans is like an abusive husband that has hurt and disrespected his woman (the earth) time and time again. Those who bow to authority will put up with it, but the people of California who value the natural resources of our bio-regions more than destructive business-as-usual will continue to insist that a more appropriately scaled bypass be built. We need a bypass around Willits. Let’s build one that thoroughly addresses the congestion that we all can live with.

Monkeywrenching the Data MinesJoin the revolution: ‘like’ everything BY D. BAUMAN

S urveillance tools, however benign their beginning, will always be eventually used by those in power to suppress opposition. Few

would have predicted, 20 years ago, that millions of Americans would willingly participate in the loss of their privacy and thereby, inevitably, their freedom.

In the recent Bohemian interview with Andrew Keen, he says that what’s most needed is to teach the internet how to forget. There is another way to accomplish the same purpose: overwhelm the internet with contradictory data. The same “Like” button previously used to document our friends, our interests, our purchases, our travels, our political views—this same “Like” button can also be used to render all that data meaningless. Just “like” everything.

Like things you hate. Like things you don’t know or care about. Like contradictory things. On a typical day, like the ACLU, Pat Robertson, Elizabeth Warren, the KKK, the NAACP, the Communist Party of America, white supremacist groups, Nuns on the Bus, Tea Party groups, real estate developments in states you’ll never live in, Edward Snowden, the pope, bullfighting, socialism, bunny rabbits, Vladimir Putin, gay pride, Ted Cruz, Wendy Davis, the EPA, wolves, the NRA, Obamacare, Michele Bachmann, vaccines, the Muslim Brotherhood, Israel, and don’t forget to like the NSA. Scroll through online news “liking” every article you see. Do Google searches of whatever keywords catch your eye in the daily news cycle, and like every hit that comes up.

Anyone attempting to build a “profile” on you will find it impossible to filter real you from Mega-Like you.

Also, tag everything. And tag it wrong. Misidentify everything you see. Every photo you see posted on Facebook, post a comment identifying the contents incorrectly.

Pack your Facebook profile with hundreds of movie, book and TV show titles, all unrelated, none of which you actually watch or read.

We cannot make the internet forget. But we can gorge the beast until it pukes. The NSA will not be able to expand fast enough to track all the additional information, and regardless, all the information will be worthless.

Piss off advertisers. Like everything.

D. Bauman has 25 years’ experience working in database management. Open Mic is a weekly op/ed feature in the Bohemian. We welcome your contribution. To have your topical essay of 350 words considered for publication, write openmic@bohemian.com.

Top FiveCrop SwapTo deal with the tsunami of extra produce in Berkeley (“Want Some Figs?” Sept. 25), during the growing months, we have a once a week “crop swap.” You take your extra abundance, lay it out on tables and blankets, and then take a card from a pack of playing cards. When you start, aces get first dibs, then twos, etc. Once you’ve gone through, and everyone has had a chance to take one item/bunch, then it’s a free-for-all. Folks show up with fruit and veggies, but also eggs, honey, jams, fermented goodies, seeds and plant starts. It’s a great way to meet fellow gardeners, find a good home for surplus and get produce. Transition Berkeley organizes it. (And, yes, I would love some figs!)

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY Redwood and manzanita at the fenced east end of the Artesa-Sonoma property in Annapolis.

Paper

Another winery wants to clearcut redwoods to plant vineyards—and this time, the courts might actually allow it BY ALASTAIR BLAND

Chainsaw Wine

The project, proposed by Artesa Vineyards & Winery, has been lumbering through the legal process for several years now, and to the dismay of Sonoma County environmentalists, it has progressed almost to the finish line. Now, the only roadblock still in the way is the lawsuit filed against the state by three conservation groups in June of 2012, and which will be heard

in the Sonoma County Superior Court this Friday.

Three plaintiffs—the Center for Biological Diversity, the Redwood Chapter of the Sierra Club and the Friends of the Gualala River—allege that the state’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection conducted its review while disregarding environmental protection laws. At the heart of the lawsuit is the project’s

There is no forest among the trees. That’s what state officials have said

regarding a large stand of second-growth redwood and Douglas fir near Annapolis that a Spanish-owned winery has proposed to level and replace with grapevines and a winery.

8 environmental impact report, required by state law for certain types of development projects.

“Their report says that cutting down 154 acres of forest and converting it into vineyards will have no significant environmental impacts,” says Dave Jordan, a member of Friends of the Gualala River.

But not all parties seem to agree about what actually constitutes “forest.” The trees in question include thousands of redwoods and other conifers, many between 50 and 80 feet tall. The plaintiffs argue that these trees are valuable because they provide habitat for wildlife, sequester carbon and limit soil erosion.

But in August, the state attorney general’s office submitted a written rebuttal to the lawsuit, stating, “Petitioners are wrong. The project site is not a ‘redwood forest.’ . . . [I]t was completely harvested and converted to grazing and orchard. . . . Conifer timber is now just beginning to recapture the site.”

State officials had not responded to a request for comment by press time.

Sam Singer, a spokesman for Artesa who’s often hired by big-name clients to “soften” environmental crises—including the Chevron refinery fire in Richmond, the Cosco Busan oil spill in the San Francisco Bay and logging at the Bohemian Grove—says the winery plans to preserve two old-growth redwoods on the property, but that numerous 30- to 60-year-old trees will be removed. Singer says remnants of an aging apple orchard will also be replaced with vines.

“But there aren’t forests here,” Singer says. He claims that locally based opponents have misrepresented the nature of the landscape, which is about due west of Geyserville some 20 miles. “This is agricultural land, and this is an agricultural project that will preserve and protect the environment,” Singer says.

Justin Augustine, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, tells the Bohemian that removing trees that absorb carbon dioxide will contribute to greenhouse gas production.

Friends of the Gualala River

The Bohemian started as The Paper in 1978.

Earth’s Fate Do issues around climate change, social justice and threatened indigenous cultures keep you up at night, grinding your teeth, wondering what—if anything—can be done to remedy the current global crisis into which we continue to spiral? Or are you so overwhelmed with bad news that you’ve found yourself face down on the floor when you could be out taking tiny baby steps toward a better world?

If you answer yes to either of these questions, the Bioneers Conference might be a good place to turn. Now in its 23rd year, the mega eco-social justice-sustainability forum rolls into the Marin Center Oct. 18–20.

This year’s conference features keynote speaker activist and UNICEF ambassador Danny Glover, and offers an array of workshops, forums and films highlighting proactive approaches to addressing the world’s complex issues. Events at the conference are jam-packed with information about youth leadership, gender awareness, community resilience, accessible healthcare, biomimicry, sustainable agriculture, progressive media, indigenous activism, medicinal herbs, education and more (whew!).

Founders Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons spend each year planning the event, which has brought leaders like Jane Goodall, Michael Pollan and Gloria Steinem to the stage. Attending this year, in addition to Glover, are local and international figures such as John A. Powell, Matthew Fox, Mona Polacca, Joanna Macy, Lynne Twist, and OAEC’s own Brock Dolman, among dozens of others.

Rounded out with a Saturday-night dance party, Bioneers provides a gateway into positive social change on Friday–Sunday, Oct. 18–20, at the Marin Center. 10 Avenue of the Flags, San Rafael. 9am–6pm daily. $75–$475. Visit www.bioneers.org for tickets.—Dani Burlison

The project’s EIR, however, deemed this concern “less-than-significant.”

The same conclusion was made for potential impacts on air quality, water quality, cultural resources, geologic stability and aesthetic values.

State planners considered, then rejected, alternative sites for Artesa’s project—but Jordan notes that they only looked at alternative forested sites.

“Why didn’t they consider a nonforested site?” Jordan says. “That would have led to a different outcome. It’s almost as though their definition of the project wasn’t just planting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, but knocking down a forest in order to plant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.”

Jordan points out that though the Artesa EIR recommends a 166-foot buffer between adjacent homes and the edge of the planned vineyard—a measure addressing potential harm from pesticide sprays—state officials have acknowledged that there is a house 87 feet from one edge of the project site.

Jamie and Kathy Hall have lived here for more than three decades. “I basically moved up here to live in a forest,” Jamie Hall says, “and [their project] is going to destroy everything I came here for.”

Conservationists celebrated a victory earlier this year when a 20,000-acre site called Preservation Ranch that had been proposed for a massive vineyard development project was sold to the Conservation Fund, a national land-protection organization.

But the Artesa project has marked a turning point. It is the first redwoods-to-vineyards proposal requiring an EIR to be approved in California.

Chris Poehlmann, president of Friends of the Gualala River, says that if Friday’s court date results in a precedent-setting win for the wine industry, much of the North Coast could become vulnerable to similar conversion.

“If we lose, others will see that you can win these fights—that you can cut down timber and convert it into vineyards.”

Tasting fee $10, Saturday tour $20. 800.926.1266.

Graton Ridge Cellars Formerly an apple shed beloved by regular customers who drove up to get juice and apples, this tasting room is clean and contemporary, with a bit of wine country art on the walls, and an apple dessert wine. The apples are not gone after all. 3561 Gravenstein Hwy. N., Sebastopol. Daily, 10am–4:30pm. $10. 707.823.3040.

Karah Estate Vineyards Like a riddle bottled up in a mystery, it’s all but hidden in plain sight above the 101 freeway’s Cotati Grade. Impressive view; mixed bag of low-alcohol, low-priced Pinots from quirky winery. 1010 W. Railroad Ave., Cotati. Friday–Sunday 11am–5pm. $5 fee. 707.795-3030.

Frenchie Winery Every winery has a story: this one goes “bow wow wow.” It’s really just a bulldog-themed shed set amid Raymond Vineyard’s biodynamic gardens.

Daily, 10am–4pm. Tasting fees vary. 707.963.3141.

Jericho Canyon Vineyard Oh boy, boutique Napa Cab from celebrity consultant Michel Rolland and high-rollers who used to spend half the year in Hawaii? Well, yeah, but they’re super nice, work hard, and their wines are tops. Cab and Sauv Blanc. 3322 Old Lawley Toll Road, Calistoga. Tour and tasting by appointment only, $30. 707.942.9665.

Monticello Vineyards Thomas Jefferson had no success growing wine grapes; happily, the Corley family has made a go of it. Although winetasting is not conducted in the handsome reproduction building itself, there’s a shaded picnic area adjacent. 4242 Big Ranch Rd., Napa. Open daily, 10am–4:30pm. $15. 707.253.2802, ext. 18.

Robert Biale Vineyards Was it the high scores that attracted the horde, or the excellence of the wine? It’s a chicken-and-egg type of question, but “Black Chicken” is neither chicken nor egg; it’s a bottle of Zinfandel. 4038 Big Ranch Road, Napa. By appointment daily, 10am–4pm.

BNA Wine GroupA label is bornBY JAMES KNIGHT

W hen I first came across “Butternut,” a brand of

Chardonnay said to satisfy the unabashed cravings of the oaky-butterbomb crowd, I assumed it was the contrivance of an experienced team of marketing professionals. How else to explain the explosion of dessert-themed, target-marketed wine labels except as the fruit of focus groups, spreadsheets, corporate trendmongers? To find out more about the process, I arrange to meet the West Coast representative of Nashville-based BNA Wine Group—who proves my assumptions wrong.

I find Tony Leonardini on crutches in front of Ballentine Vineyards, where he makes some of his wines. A St. Helena local since his father purchased Whitehall Lane Winery in 1993, Leonardini worked for the family business after college before trying his hand at selling a barrel of his own wine. While deftly thieving a sample of 2012 Cab from the barrel, he explains that Butternut was born by felicitous accident. One evening while he was trying to think up a name for a batch of Chardonnay that had turned out funky—and going through four glasses of the stuff in the effort—his wife walked through the door with a box of CSA vegetables and complained, “I’m going to get tired of this—two weeks in a row of butternut squash!”

In 2009 he sent half a pallet to a skeptical distributor in Nashville. The wine flew out the door, and he got a business partner. Now they’re making 50,000 cases and got picked up by Safeway, with no advertising. The 2011 “Butternut” California Chardonnay ($17.51) smells like heavily toasted oak, no doubt about it; I mean, four-alarm fire at the sawmill, overpowering even the sweet, buttery, caramel corn flavor. But Butternut fans dig it, and Leonardini hired a winemaking consultant to make sure it remains their perfect, after-work “melt away” wine.

I would have gone with “firebug,” except that Leonardini’s quite the opposite: the volunteer firefighter is sporting a cast today because he recently sprained his ankle while rescuing a couple and their dogs from a fire across the street from his house. The 2010 “Volunteer” Cabernet Sauvignon ($30.90) is his most serious wine, a liquid German chocolate fruitcake of a wine, trending savory black olive with air. There’s a saline freshness that keeps the 2012 “Bandwagon” Monterey Unoaked Chardonnay ($17.51) lively through a lingering, peanut brittle and apple pie aftertaste.

As for 2012 “Nanna’s Shortcake” Lodi Zinfandel ($17.51), a sweet and soft drizzle of raspberry syrup dignified by dark hints of clove, Leonardini says that he was just eating his favorite dessert while thinking up a new wine label. He stopped and asked himself, “Are you kidding me?”

You know the drill: pull the pile out of your mailbox, rifle through it, toss most of it in the recycling bin. And, if

you’re like us, sigh a wistful reminder of when getting the mail used to mean actual surprises. Hey, we get it. There’s email, texting, Skype, Gchat, Facebook—none of this is new. But in the bulk-rate world of the physical mailbox, a genuine hand-addressed envelope or package inspires a special kind of wonder.

That’s what we were counting on when we announced this year’s writing contest, in which readers sent us their mailing addresses and we, in turn, sent them random objects on which to base a 400-word piece of creative fiction. The response was overwhelming, and 146 people signed up, a new record for our annual writing contest. Turns out people love getting free stuff in the mail.

Due to the huge response, shipping was delayed slightly, and then affected by a postage error—sorry, our fault—but eventually most everyone received a manila envelope with an object of inspiration inside. No two objects were the same, and contestants had only two rules: (1) to work the object into the story somehow, and (2) to use, in some way, the phrase “it showed up on my doorstep.”

You, dear readers, did not disappoint.How could we forget the tales of

“Nevermore and the Golden Coin,” of “magic sperm,” of “beloved Cheerios”? How could we forget the submission that was, uh, the same story submitted the year before? How could we forget phrases such as “Like an emblem for Liberace’s cat, it was sparkly and gay as all hell”?

In the end, five stories out of 146 had to be chosen as winners, and believe us when we say it was not an easy decision. That’s why we’ve picked five honorable mention entries: Andy Covert, Thea Rhiannon, Brian Gellman, Lois Pearlman and Noah Hallett, thank you. Virtual silver medals to you all.

Printed below are the five winning stories, by Don Stoddard, Amy Robinson, Diane Swan, Gabriella Buonassisi and Aloysius Beerheart. Each of the winners will receive a gift certificate to Copperfield’s Books. Please join them, and us, in a public reading and celebration on Thursday, Oct. 17, at Acre Coffee in Santa Rosa’s Montgomery Village. The whole soiree goes from 6pm to 7:30pm, all winning entries will be read and discussed, and it’s completely free. We’d love to see you.

Without further ado, the winning stories!—Gabe Meline

Mass RemembranceBy Amy Elizabeth Robinson

I want a manicure. I want a new car. I want a chocolate caramel each time I check out at the grocery store. I want my life to be orderly. I want a garden with clipped hedges and bordered beds. I want a better shoe organizer.

What I don’t want is to stand on my doorstep holding this goddamned blood-colored envelope, still damp with the feel of the priest’s fingers pressing it into my hand. I don’t want the feel of his fingers. I don’t want the feel of anyone’s fingers. I want dry bone-colored china in my cabinet and a polyester blanket to wrap around myself at the end of the day.

The priest showed up at my doorstep. He wants me to remember. I don’t want to. Remember the men in your life, he says, a hiss at the back of his words. Remember God the Father above, His Son who came to save us. He pauses, snaking his neck to get a look into my eyes. Remember your father, dear, your very own, God rest his soul.

The sky is flat-gray above us. A candy wrapper rustles by. I want a wrapped-up candy. What I don’t want is the stew of remembrance, mass or otherwise. I don’t want to pay these priests so they can store my rotten memories away in a gilded box, or burn them away to heaven.

Wait . . .I want my life to be orderly.Wait, I say, just as he sighs and turns away.He has one foot still on the doorstep. I hold up a finger, rush into the

dark hall, find my purse, dig out some bills, stuff them in the envelope. I hunch over, sticky flap brushing my cheek, and whisper. Fiercely. I give that envelope as many memories as I think it can hold.

I straighten up, smooth my hair, seal the envelope and return to the door. The priest waits, eyes bright and greedy. I hold out the envelope. When he nods and tucks it into his robes, I am washed by the form and certainty he offers the world. I watch as he makes his way down the sidewalk for a while.

Wait . . .I forgot to write my father’s name on there. The priest never gave me a

pen. How will God know those memories are mine? I want to start over again. Wait, I call. It’s too late. He’s already gone.

The Black PantherBy Don Stoddard

The fuse is lit, soon it will be over.I’ve never forgotten that night all those years ago. He had been gone

so long, decades. I was sure he was dead. He was a likable guy, the kind of person you would do anything for. A smooth talker with a mesmerizing voice with so much to say about the world, and how it could be better. We were young, times were different. Things were wild, free, dangerous, radical. We were a small, inseparable group of social misfits. This is how we spent that summer.

The talks started innocently enough, over coffee, listening as he spoke of the world and the things that weren’t working. He never said how, but we would fix it. We would know when it was time to act, time to make it right. Late that summer, we were gathered at his place, a small unadorned room. He served us his special tea, a deliciously bitter elixir with some definite side effects. He could always come up with a great story, but this night was going to be different.

Different indeed.As the elixir kicked in, he removed his shirt to reveal a tattooed body

like none I’d seen before or since. It was 3-D. He was covered in animals of all kinds, snakes, apes—yes, there were lions, tigers and bears—and creatures no man has ever seen or would hope to see.

The animals were interwoven with geometric symbols, strange alien writings with colors so bright and vivid they could light up a room. Everything was dancing, pulsating hypnotically, as he told his tale and laughed. I saw a black panther begin to pace back and forth, becoming larger and larger until it leapt full-size from his chest right at me. I screamed, and woke alone in my room.

I never saw him or any of the others again. Life went on. I worked, loved, grew older. Then it showed up on my doorstep: a package. In it was a beautiful, porcelain, black panther, crouched and ready to leap. I knew it was from him. He was alive. I broke it open to get my instructions. I knew the others would be getting theirs, too. We would be in sync, no matter how long it been. Things haven’t changed, maybe gotten worse. He was right. It was time. Hypnotized? Perhaps, for here I am watching the sparkle of the fuse waiting, waiting for the end.

Ms. Lily BroachBy Diane Swan

I was extruded from a plastic vacuform machine in Hong Kong in MCMLXXXIV. I was affixed to my first bosom in ’LXXXV; that of an eccentric Chinese grandmother, voted out of the mahjong club for taking up chewing tobacco when the group agreed to quit smoking during games. She was so distraught that, even though I was a gift from her eldest daughter, any reminders of that fateful day were put on the curb.

Fortunately, my sidewalk stay lasted all of 10 minutes, when Patricia picked me up as a lucky token. She wore me everyday to her first job as dishwasher at Denny’s. I was the only piece of jewelry that held up in the steamy room, never fading, scratching or rusting. I was as persistent as she proved to be, until she got promoted to server and tossed the dishwashing apron in the trash with me pinned to it.

Eric/a, sever at Denny’s by day, drag queen by night, greedily rescued me. I was just what she needed to keep her left bra strap from showing when she wore the one-shoulder sarong in the ever-popular Hawaiian encore she performed at the Moose Lodge on alternating Saturday nights. One night, in a fit of passion, Eric/a flung her arms wide for her final curtsey, popping me off her shoulder into the lap of Cecilia.

Blinking twice, looking left then right, Cilly, as she called herself, clasped the broach to her chest in delight. Providence was shining on her in the entity of me, a lily broach, just what Cilly needed to adorn her sweater for piano lessons with Wilber tomorrow. He might pay attention to her instead of the piano lesson with me adorning her flat bosom.

It was Wilber who disappointed her, not me. But she unpinned me from the gray cotton sweater, putting me in the CVS bag along with other discards, to donate to the shelter for its monthly jumble sale.

I don’t honestly remember how I showed up at your doorstep. My hunch is, I got rejected from the costume-jewelry section, tossed in the not-sure-how-to-price pile and ended up in the $5 grab bag with a seed necklace with a broken clasp, a saggy bracelet whose elastic was stretched out, and a plastic watch with no battery. But I assure you, my dear, you will enjoy me. I’m eternal, plastic.

Tiny ArcherBy Aloysius Beerheart

A Tiny Archer showed up at my doorstep the other day. With nary a word he drew an arrow from his quiver and promptly put it through the thick head of a partially articulated Schwarzenegger action figure, leaving a sharp point protruding from the back of Arnold’s prematurely orange scalp.

“Tiny Archer!” I exclaimed. “You have just dispatched a former governor of California and beloved B-movie star!”

“I’m off to Chico to star in The Adventures of Robin Hood,” calmly replied the archer, “and I have to eliminate any possible competition.”

I correctly pointed out to the archer that while he was indeed in Technicolor, he was a bit late to star in a movie that wrapped up in 1938. This didn’t seem to bother him at all. I asked him if he also planned to eliminate Errol Flynn, but he said that his next target was Olivia de Havilland, since he intended to play Maid Marian.

It became apparent that the archer was off his meds, so I offered to brew him some Tiger Tea, which he gladly accepted. By the third cup, he had settled down a bit, so we discussed the motion picture arts and archers in popular media. I asked him if he was familiar with the comic book character the Green Arrow. With a disgusted look he said that he would never associate with anyone whose secret identity was Oliver Queen. I had to agree with him there. It would be like creating a hockey team for San Francisco and naming them the Spiders.

It grew late, and the Tiny Archer was running out of topics of conversation. He was beginning to repeat stories from earlier in the evening, and it was decided that he should be on his way. I offered to give him bus fare to Chico, but he said that a ticket to Oroville would be enough, and that he would take public transit from there to his eventual destination in Bidwell Park. He wanted to make the detour so that he could visit the Oroville sites where O. J. Simpson starred in his very first movie. I found this to be a strange request, but knowing the archer, it probably made perfect sense to him. He packed some extra Tiger Tea into his quiver for later use at various stops during the long journey. And with that he found himself Gone with the Wind.

You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cry, You Better Not PoutBy Gabriella Buonassisi

I demand to be seen. I will not hesitate to pound my fists on this door until they are bruised and bloody, or shout until my voice is hoarse. Do you know how much it costs to come up here? Do you even realize how far it is? I am

not as fortunate as yourself to have magical beasts of burden to transport me across the globe.

I am here to discuss my son, Stanley. Stanley Wellington.My Stanley has been exceptionally good this year. I assure you I

keep precise track of these sorts of things. How can you, Sir, in good conscience not reward:

• All A’s on his report card• First place in the science fair• Lead in the school musical• Winner of the regional under-12 chess tournament• Starting third baseman in Little League• Leading rebounder for the school basketball team• Church choir soloist• Eagle Scout• Senior citizen center volunteer• Junior Recycler of the Year Award winner And then this . . . this thing shows up on my doorstep. Well,

chimneystep or treestep I suppose would be more accurate, but I am not in the business of making up words.

Why on earth would you think a wind-up, pastel purple bunny would be appropriate for a 12-year-old boy? And at this time of year? Was this some kind of cruel joke or bizarre statement? No, this I can only chalk up to a very real, very large lapse in mental capacity. Did you even read the letter he wrote you asking for a mountain bike?

Maybe this is a wake-up call for you to slow down. I am sure your job is extremely stressful. Could you not delegate more responsibility to your, ah, diminutive associates? Listen, none of us is getting any younger, and it is well documented that as one ages, the brain simply does not function as it used to. Perhaps a holiday would be in order. The Caymans really are lovely in January.

Yet the fact remains that you cheated my Stanley, and I will not tolerate it.I am prepared to stay here for as long as it takes you to make this right. I

have hot cider and am covered from head to toe in Versatech gear. I can wait all night. I can wait until next year’s list is prepared if I have to.

NICOLAS GRIZZLE, TARA KAVEH

AND GABE MELINE

old pyramids in order to simply cross another cool destination off their bucket lists, others view Teotihuacán as a serious power destination that brings all sorts of healing. ‘Dreaming Heaven’ (Agape Media International; $24.95) is the story of one group’s experience with the healing powers of this ancient site. An accompanying guidebook and workbook to the documentary of the same name, Dreaming Heaven is authored by the four guides featured in the film, including Bodega Bay’s Francis Rico, and gives step-by-step instructions to transform life circumstances in 12 short weeks. The book not only comes with the 76-minute DVD, but links to free inspirational downloads as well. That’s a lot of Toltec magic in one package!—D.B.

The Napa

Valley of yore was very different from the wine-soaked, spa-laden tourist playground it’s become today.

Last year, the Napa Valley Historical Ecology Atlas by Robin Grossinger explored the changes in the ecology of the valley over a span of centuries.

Now ‘Run of the Mill: A True Life, Napa Adventure,’ by Dona Stanley Bakker ($13.95; Pastime Publications), explores an older way of life in the same region, with a focus on five years of the author’s childhood spent living at the historic Bale Grist Mill north of St. Helena. Built circa 1841 by Dr. Edward Turner Bale, the mill ceased operation around 1879, when it was run out of business by larger commercial mill operations in San Francisco and Vallejo. Bakker lived there between 1959 and 1964, after her grandparents were hired on as caretakers, and her book serves both as a celebration of times past and a reminder that every piece of land has hidden, and often fascinating, history.—L.C.

Marin County’s Raymond Welch has worked in the energy industry for 30 years, and his first novel, ‘A Change in the Weather’ (Ice Cap Publishing; $14.99), illustrates his imaginative world of social and political fallout in the face of abrupt climate change. The thriller follows the Russell family during the 10th anniversary of the disappearance of the polar ice cap in 2028. In the story, each family member does what he or she thinks is right in an America of the future that struggles to hold its democratic and Christian values during the wake-up worldwide disaster. The Arctic ice caps have

Santa Rosa–based psychotherapist Jo Lauer applies her knowledge of the human psyche to a new genre in ‘Best Laid Plans: A Cozy Mystery’ (CreateSpace; $11.69). Her story begins with Jenny Pond, an ex-felon who “hadn’t planned to kill anyone, but fate has a lousy sense of humor.” Jenny meets Shalese, a blue-collar social worker from Detroit, and the two fall in love as they work together at the First Step, a recovery house in San Francisco. Things go afoul when Florence, a wealthy benefactress with a particularly unsavory history, comes along, forcing the relocation of the recovery house to Santa Rosa. Like Orange Is the New Black for the wine country set, the book’s characters—mostly women who’ve spent time in jail for various offenses—only get deeper into mystery and adventure after the big move.—L.C.

Reading stories about a town that used to be famous for making cigars gives a whole new appreciation for the hand-rolled tobacco sticks favored by mobsters, businessmen and Cuban dictators alike. Santa Rosa

author Emilio Gonzalez-Llanes’ ‘Cigar City Stories: Tales of Old Ybor City’ (iUniverse; $9.95) is a small but robust

first-person account of the city outside of Tampa, Fla., which became a haven for Cuban, Italian and Spanish immigrants with a knack for rolling cigars. Before machine-rolled cigars become commonplace in the 1950s and ’60s, cigars were all rolled by hand. Ybor City was demolished in the 1960s to make way for urban gentrification, but the memories in Cigar City Stories create a visual, vibrant image of diverse life in the city. Whether the smell of a cigar induces salivation or an urge to vomit, Cigar City Stories is a reminder of the history and personality of one of the most luxurious methods of slow suicide.—N.G.

Long revered as a site of

archaeological mastery, the ancient Toltec city of Teotihuacán sees a gazillion visitors annually (give or take a bazillion). Though many seek out the 2,000-year-

Winters has penned the life of Timothy Jacobson, nicknamed “the Omaha Kid,” a crossover sports superstar with an unlikely combination of skills: baseball and tennis. After a successful baseball career, the Kid goes on to compete in the U.S. Open and does very well, and finds himself a superstar almost overnight. But his romantic life doesn’t always fare as well as his swinging sports career. Using many California cities as a setting, Winters chronicles the Kid’s life through the later half of the 20th century. Using the natural drama of sports to build anxiety, the same feeling translates into the Kid’s love life. Will he strike out in love? Or will he, ahem, hit a home run?—N.G.

When Jack London’s Glen Ellen Wolf House caught fire in August 1913, little did London fans realize that the root causes of the incident would remain an unanswerable question over the following hundred years. Sonoma County resident and SSU professor Jonah Raskin attempts to unravel the mystery of what circumstances led the 15,000-square-foot house to its demise with his new chapbook ‘Burning Down the House: Jack London and the 1913 WolfHouse Fire’ (Clone; $5). Raskin interviewed over two dozen people for the chapbook, including local historians, )20

patterns change around the world. As agriculture fails, and the international economy collapses, terrorism surges—and while the Russell family struggles to fight for what they believe is right, their ideas could not be more in conflict.—T.K.

In her debut collection of poetry, Sonoma’s Lisa Summers explores the seasons and contradictions found within the West’s topographic and emotional terrain. ‘Star Thistle and Other Poems’ (FMRL; $12.95) grapples, too, with altered landscapes. A native of the Bay Area, Summers reflects her first-hand experience of witnessing our local environment transform. In “House Finches,” Summers writes: “The only traces of the old farm / its rich soil was buried alive / by sidewalks, roads and houses / are the anise weeds that burst forth / from the memory of good earth / in the last open field.” Drawing on mythology—Kuan Yin, Aphrodite, Eros—Summers explores the psyche, often bringing the reader back to the great vast ocean for a breath of fresh air.—D.B.

Baseball fans know Amy G

as the in-game reporter for the San Francisco Giants, but Petaluma locals know her as the Casa Grande grad who turned her passion for sports into the

world’s best job: hanging around the dugout and talking to Matt Cain, Pablo Sandoval, Hunter Pence and the rest of the greats in orange and black. Written for kids, ‘Smarty Marty’s Got Game’ (Cameron + Company; $17.95) is the first book by Amy G (still lives in Petaluma, real last name Gutierrez)—a simple story of an older sister passing on the contagious love of baseball to her younger brother during a day at the ballpark. Because of trademark issues, illustrator Adam McCauley doesn’t use Giants logos in his vibrant full-page images, but the panda hats, garlic-fries stands and giant Coke bottle make it more than evident which team is playing. (Jon Miller’s trademark call “It is outta here!” makes a key appearance.) Of particular interest is the book’s emphasis on scoring the game by hand, something of a forgotten art that might be lost on younger readers—and that, frankly, one sees more frequently over in Oakland. But if Gutierrez’s book reaches its intended audience, there’s no question there’ll be a future audience of scorers for “the greatest game in the world.” —G.M.

Gracianna Winery in

Healdsburg is named for co-owner Trini Amador’s great-grandmother Gracianna Lasaga. She also provides the title of Amador’s first book, ‘Gracianna’ (Greenleaf Book Group Press; $24.95), out this fall. Combining fact with fiction, Amador—who works as a principal at BHC Consulting

doing brand strategy and insights development—takes World War II and the Nazi occupation of Europe as his novel’s backdrop. Gracianna, a Basque woman who dreams of going to America but is stymied after the escalation of the war, finds herself in a fight to the death after discovering that her sister has been forced into labor at Auschwitz. Summoning all of her courage, she attempts to free her sister and learns about her own strength in the process.—L.C.

‘Tales of Jack the Ripper’ (Word Horde; $15.99), the latest anthology from Petaluma’s Ross E. Lockhart (editor of The Book of Cthulu), marks the 125th anniversary of the Whitechapel slayings. Although the mystery of Jack the Ripper has captured the public’s imagination for over a century—as it is, we don’t know jack about Jack—what we know for certain is that he was a cold-blooded murderer of women. Lockhart’s anthology pulls together 17 stories and two poems from distinct voices in dark fantasy and horror such as Laird Barron, Ramsey Campbell, Ennis Drake and others. Each story illustrates a unique part of Jack the Ripper’s story in varying locales, from his childhood and personal life to those of his victims. Overall, the collection is a unique exploration of the legacy of Jack the Ripper from the point of view of authors of completely different backgrounds, each holding his own vision of the legend.—T.K.

Katy Byrne began writing “hairballs,” her word for the dark things that we hold in until they metastasize, when she was single and lonely. Part diary entry, part philosophical musing, ‘The Courage to Speak Up: Getting Your Hairballs Out’ (Langmarc Publishing; $16.95) gathers Byrne’s thoughts into book form. A licensed psychotherapist, radio personality and animal rights activist, the Sonoma County resident has poured onto paper her thoughts on love, anger, fear of sex, aging, overeating, the importance of neighbors, friendship, judgment, holidays, money anxiety, the difficulty of moving, family stress, living simply and losing a beloved pet (in her case, a cat named Einstein). The book is interactive by way of three reflection questions included at the end of the chapter, which allows readers to discover—and let go of—their own hairballs.—L.C.

Say you’re an upright bass

player. What if you were asked to perform music for one of your least favorite people? In Sebastopol author Bill Amatneek’s case, that’d be a gig offer playing for president George W. Bush, as chronicled in ‘Acoustic Stories: Pickin’ for the Prez and Other Unamplified Tales’ (Vineyard Press; $27). “This was a moral decision,” Amatneek writes, “to entertain or not entertain an immoral man.

I wanted to pass it up, but I also wanted to play it.” In the end, Amatneek plays the gig anyway, adding another chapter to a jam-packed book of memorable bass playing jobs. Growing up in a household on Bleecker Street that hosted legends like Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson, Amatneek went on to accompany the likes of Jerry Garcia, Bill Monroe, Peter Rowan, and Peter, Paul & Mary (whom Amatneek still clearly carries a torch for). All those stories are here, as are anecdotes of helping Bob Dylan find the stage in Philadelphia, being sung “Happy Birthday” to by Dionne Warwick, interviewing Aretha Franklin in San Francisco, playing a jazz funeral in New Orleans and many others. Overall, Amatneek’s tone is conversational and not boastful, and places the reader into the action of a life well lived in music.—G.M.

Michael Rinaldini’s ‘Daoist

Practice Journal: Come Laugh with Me’ (CreateSpace; $11.98) sheds a light on walking the Taoist path from the author’s unique perspective. A former surfer turned Taoist, in The Daoist Practice Journal, Rinaldini, a Sebastopol resident, compiles journal entries written over the past 20 years. Each entry explains a different aspect of his spiritual journey, from surrendering to his beloved waves to the beauty in a simple cup of tea. The entries include selections from ancient writings in addition to current

masters of the Way, and informs readers of the different Taoist practices available for study and practice, covering topics like meditation, qigong, the value of silence and solitude and much more.—T.K.

combines recollections from students, custodians and faculty, with graduation speeches and introductory essays that give a historical context to each decade, starting in 1941 and running through 1972. Approximately 2,000 students passed through the school’s doors during this time, and they’re all accounted for in comprehensive class lists for each year. The result is an insightful peek into small-town life in a bygone era. With all proceeds benefiting a scholarship fund for current students, the book itself would make a great gift for just about anyone who attended St. Helena High School between 1941 and 1972.—L.C.

As 100.1-FM KZST’s expert CPA, Santa Rosa’s Montgomery Taylor is already known and trusted by many Sonoma County taxpayers. And maybe they want to learn how to become just as successful in life. Montgomery has compiled writings from “the world’s leading experts” in ‘The New Rules of Success’ (Celebrity Press; $19.95) to help you do just that. Though none of the authors is quite a household name, each is successful (in this case, that also means wealthy) in life, and shares a nugget of wisdom on how to achieve your goals. It’s a personal book, with each author writing specifically

to you, the reader, using mostly first-person examples. Topics include motivation, customer service, relentless thinking about the customer, raising a family for success, online marketing, managing stress, commitment and more. Taylor writes a chapter himself, detailing his own rise from “farm boy” to “wealth advisor.” With so many different topics and perspectives, it’s a safe bet that if you’re looking to achieve financial success, this book is going to be helpful.—N.G.

Every woman should have a mentor. Mentors provide the inspiration, empowerment and encouragement that we don’t tend to get from greater society. Karilee Halo Shames, a holistic nurse best known for her work with husband Dr. Richard Shames around hypothyroidism, has made it easy to learn from women mentors by compiling their stories in ‘Amazing Mentors: Real Hot Mama’s Path to Power’ (Inkwell Productions; $18). Contributors include Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, former U.S. congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, healer and chiropractor Shalamah Yahchove, Gen. Clara Adams-Ender and others. “If no leadership exists, step up and bring others along,” says Woolsey in the chapter devoted to her—that’s exactly what Halo Shames has done in compiling these thoughts and interviews. —L.C.

The film will screen with a live performance of this new composition from the pit orchestra, comprised of members of the Napa Valley Youth Symphony and conducted by Orr himself, on Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Jarvis Conservatory. 1711 Main St., Napa. 7pm. $15. 707.255.5445.

This week, he plays in a concert with Steve Miller Band guitarist Kenny Lee and Kingsborough drummer John Whitney for a rock-themed concert called “Piano on the Edge.” His 21st-century arrangements vary from smooth-jazz versions of “Ave Maria” to dubstep-infused classical piano. Witness a rare vision on Saturday, Oct. 19, at SRJC’s Newman Auditorium. 1501 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa. 8pm. $20. 707.527.4011.

Listening to her sing puts the mind at ease, stacking those troubles neatly on the shelf, in chronological order, not to be forgotten but to be managed.

Alien AbductionThe phrase “parental discretion advised” is a surefire attention-grabber. When applied to a lecture about alien abductions titled “Strange Harvest,” it’s begging it. This week, UFO expert Jim Ledwith talks about the 10,000 animal abductions since 1967—why are farms the target of alien research? Are extraterrestrials curious, or just really hungry? With footage of a bovine abduction and FBI files on the subject, the answers will surely be revealed on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at the Sonoma Community Center. 276 E Napa St., Sonoma. 7pm. $5–$10. 707.938.4626.

Big Man’s BashBlack Panther reunion comes to Santa Rosa BY JONAH RASKIN

Who’s afraid of the Black Panthers? Probably no one

now, but in 1967 they gave white Americans the willies when they stood on the steps outside Gov. Ronald Reagan’s capitol in Sacramento, wearing black berets, black leather jackets and carrying loaded shotguns.

In the turbulent 1960s, the bodacious Panthers advocated armed self-defense, fed the hungry and taught the illiterate. Bloody police raids and their own “Off-the-pig” bravado sharply reduced their ranks, but not before they woke the nation to the raw beauty and naked truths of African-American life.

IN CHARGE Elbert ‘Big Man’ Howard leads this week’s Panther reunion.

This week, Oct. 17–19, Elbert “Big Man” Howard hosts a three-day Black Panther reunion and celebration in Santa Rosa, his adopted hometown. No Panther is better suited than he to rally the faithful and gather the curious. The editor of the Panther newspaper, he served as the party’s roving global ambassador, and prowled the United States, too, a story he tells in his memoir, Panther on the Prowl. After the Panthers imploded, he disappeared for years. Though he’s slowly reemerged—he was the focus of a Bohemian cover story in 2011—the reunion signals a public comeback.

Born in the South in 1939, Howard learned about racism on the streets, not in classrooms. “When I was a boy in Tennessee, there were real homegrown terrorists,” he says as he sips an ice tea at the Arlene Francis Center in Santa Rosa. “Hooded Klansmen in white sheets burned crosses at night to try to terrify us. If it weren’t for the black community, I wouldn’t be here now.”

He’s carried those early lessons about community all the way to Sonoma County. “My roots here run deep,” he says. “Forty or so years ago, I came here for the first time and bought 60,000 eggs for our free food program. They made hungry folks happy.” His recent work in Sonoma County focuses on ending police misconduct and brutality through the Police Accountability Clinic and Helpline (PACH), the local organization he cofounded.

At 75, Howard has no regrets. Still, if he could, he might rewrite a page or two of Panther history and save a few lost souls. “The party provided a home for a whole generation,” he says. “If they were addicts, we helped them get off drugs. If they couldn’t read, we taught them. When the party fell apart, they did, too.”

With the reunion, Howard hopes to honor those who didn’t survive, and to show his appreciation for the North Bay community (including its doctors and nurses, who helped him overcome an array of life-threatening health issues).

M24 Rhodes, remembers Panther meetings

he attended 50 years ago. Now 59, Rhodes never officially joined the organization, but in his own quiet way, he’s revived the Panther spirit and helped turn the Arlene Francis into a gathering place for Sonoma County’s scattered African-American community and a home for musicians from Ghana, Benin and Burkina Faso who now reside in Santa Rosa.

For the three-day event, Howard has rounded up internationally renowned artist Emory Douglas, Dr. Tolbert Small, official Panther historian Billy “X” Jennings, Seattle chapter cofounder Aaron Dixon and others. Rickey Vincent unravels the connections between soul music and black power. Sister Sheba Haven reveals the role of Panther women.

As if that weren’t enough historical weight in one room, Panther cofounder Bobby Seale is scheduled to appear at some point over the three days as well.

“I first saw Seale in the 1960s,” says Martin Hamilton, executive director at the Arelene Francis Center. “These days, there’s too much Panther mythologizing. At the celebration, we’ll hear real history from people like Seale who actually made it.”

Longtime activist Judy Gumbo Albert also remembers the Panthers from 1960s Berkeley. “Back then, they took the national dialogue about race and racial inequality to a whole new level that’s unappreciated today,” she says. “I’m going to the event to relive my past and reconnect to Panthers I knew. Big Man always was a sweetie.”

“The Panthers are a prime example of what a community can do when it bands together,” Howard says, reaching for his pork pie hat. “We’ll bring this community together, too.”

The Black Panther 47th anniversary takes place Thursday–Saturday, Oct. 17–19, at the Arlene Francis Center. 99 Sixth St., Santa Rosa. Three-day pass, $30–$35; single-day tickets, $12. For more information, see www.bigmanbpp.com or call 707.528.3009.

All TreatsTreasure Island Music Fest full of vets, hot newcomersAll set to preview of this year’s Treasure Island Music Festival, I checked the website to see what time Tricky, the British downtempo rapper and former collaborator with Massive Attack, would be playing. He isn’t. “Visa issues,” the site proclaims.

He’s being replaced by Danny Brown, a talented Detroit rapper with nasal delivery and clever narration but without the long-career pedigree of Tricky, who’s been around since the early 1990s. It’ll be interesting to see if he tailors his set to fit in with Saturday’s lineup, which includes Major Lazer, Little Dragon, Phantogram, Disclosure and other electronic-focused acts. Headlining is Atoms for Peace, featuring Thom Yorke (Radiohead) and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

On Sunday, Animal Collective, James Blake, Sleigh Bells, Haim (pictured) and others start the day, but at night, it’s all about Beck. The singer of “Where It’s At” is comfortable in just about any genre thrown his way; his albums sound almost like he was dared to try a new genre. In concert, musicality oozes from his sweaty devil’s haircut and dexterous fingers, no matter what instrument he’s currently grasping. Should be a good show, even if it’s only treats and no Tricky.

The Treasure Island Music Festival runs Oct. 19–20 on Treasure Island in San Francisco. For more, see www.treasureislandfestival.com. —Nicolas Grizzle

Tales from the TombsPsst! Wanna hear a spooky story . . . in a mausoleum?Ghosts get bored like anyone else. So it’s going to be a very special Halloween season this year when a troupe of local writers and actors join forces to tell original and classic mystery stories inside the 100-year-old mausoleum at Santa Rosa Memorial Park.

Titled “Mystery Writers in the Mausoleum,” the self-explanatory one-night-only literary presentation will be sure to entertain any souls still lingering inside the mausoleum—but those with a pulse and a taste for the mysterious are invited to attend the free event, too.

Illuminated by candlelight, the historic building will be filled with the spirited imaginations of the late Edgar Alan Poe and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, along with local (still living) writers such as Ana Manwaring, Ann Wilkes, Robbi Sommers Bryant, Paul Foley, Charles Markee, Jo Lauer, and Karen Pierce Gonzalez, reading their own stories of mystery, murder, demon slayers, haunted rooms and chupacabras. Actors John Moran and David Gonzalez add to the spooky atmosphere with spine-tingling readings from Frankenstein and the entire short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” when “Mystery Writers in the Mausoleum” gets underway on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at Santa Rosa Memorial Park. 1900 Franklin Ave., Santa Rosa. 7pm. Free. 707.542.1580.—David Templeton

AstrologyARIES (March 21–April 19) This is an indelicate oracle. If you’re offended by the mention of bodily functions in a prophetic context you should STOP READING NOW. Still here? OK. I was walking through my neighborhood when I spied an older woman standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next to a bush. The dog was in discomfort, squatting and shivering but unable to relieve himself. “He’s having trouble getting his business done,” his owner confided in me. “He’s been struggling for 10 minutes.” I felt a rush of sympathy for the distressed creature. With a flourish of my hand, I said, “More power to you, little one. May you purge your burden.” The dog instantly defecated. Shrieking her approval, the woman exclaimed, “It’s like you waved a magic wand!” Now I am invoking my wizardry in your behalf, Aries, although in a less literal way: More power to you. May you purge your psychological burden.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) “You won’t do it at the right time,” warns writer Kate Moller. “You’ll be late. You’ll be early. You’ll get re-routed. You’ll get delayed. You’ll change your mind. You’ll change your heart. It’s not going to turn out the way you thought it would.” And yet, Moller concludes—are you ready for the punch line?—“it will be better.” In describing your future, Taurus, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Fate may be comical in the way it plays with your expectations and plans, but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the outcome.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) In the coming weeks, you Geminis could be skillful and even spectacular liars. You will have the potential to deceive more people, bend more truths and even fool yourself better than anyone else. On the other hand, you will also have the knack to channel this same slipperiness in a different direction. You could tell imaginative stories that rouse people from their ruts. You might explore the positive aspects of Kurt Vonnegut’s theory that we tend to become what we pretend to be. Or you could simply be so creative and playful and improvisational in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of inspirational fun. Which way will you go?

CANCER (June 21–July 22) I’m all in favor of you indulging your instinct for self-protection. As a Cancerian myself, I understand that one of the ways you take good care of yourself is by making sure that you feel reasonably safe. Having said that, I also want to remind you that your mental and emotional health requires you to leave your comfort zone on a regular basis. Now is one of those times. The call to adventure will arrive soon. If you make yourself ready and eager for changes, the changes that come will kick your ass in mostly educational and pleasurable ways.

LEO (July 23–August 22) Who exactly do you want to be when you grow up, and what is the single most important experience you need in order to make that happen? What riches do you want to possess when you are finally wise enough to make enlightened use of them, and how can you boost your eligibility for those riches? Which one of your glorious dreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill it, but is primed to be dramatically ripened in the coming weeks? If I were you, Leo, I would meditate on these questions. Answers will be forthcoming.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) At an elementary school festival some years ago, I performed the role of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. One of my tasks was to ask kids to make a wish, whereupon I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust. Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole business. They questioned the proposition that the fairy dust would make their wishes come true. A few were so suspicious that they walked away without making a wish or accepting the fairy dust. Yet every single one of those distrustful kids came back later to tell me they had changed their minds, and every single one asked me to bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust. They are your role models, Virgo. Like them, you should return to the scene of your doubts and demand extra fairy dust.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) “The door to the invisible must be visible,” wrote the surrealist spiritual author René Daumal. This describes an

opportunity that is on the verge of becoming available to you. The opportunity is still invisible simply because it has no precedents in your life; you can’t imagine what it is. But just recently a door to that unknown realm has become visible to you. I suggest you open it, even though you have almost no idea what’s on the other side.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) In Tim Burton’s film Alice in Wonderland, Alice asks the White Rabbit, “How long is forever?” The talking rabbit replies, “Sometimes, just one second.” That’s an important piece of information for you to keep in mind, Scorpio. It implies that “forever” may not necessarily, in all cases, last until the universe dies out 5 billion years from now. “Forever” might actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutes or a month or a year or who knows? So how does this apply to your life right now? Well, a situation you assumed was permanent could ultimately change—perhaps much faster than you have imagined. An apparently everlasting decree or perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift, as if by magic.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) “I need a little language such as lovers use,” wrote Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves. “I need no words. Nothing neat . . . I need a howl; a cry.” If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, Sagittarius, Woolf is speaking for you right now. You should be willing to get guttural and primal . . . to trust the teachings of silence and the crazy wisdom of your body . . . to exult in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow. Are you brave enough to love what can’t be put into words?

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) “I get bored with the idea of becoming a better listener,” writes business blogger Penelope Trunk. “Why would I do that when interrupting people is so much faster?” If your main goal is to impose your will on people and get things over with as soon as possible, Capricorn, by all means follow Trunk’s advice this week. But if you have other goals—like building consensus, finding out important information you don’t know yet and winning help from people who feel affection for you—I suggest that you find out how to have maximum fun by being an excellent listener.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) The last time meteorologists officially added a new type of cloud formation to the International Cloud Atlas was 1951. But they’re considering another one now. It’s called “asperatus,” which is derived from the Latin term undulatus asperatus, meaning “turbulent undulation.” According to the Cloud Appreciation Society, it resembles “the surface of a choppy sea from below.” But although it looks rough and agitated, it almost never brings a storm. Let’s make asperatus your mascot for the next few weeks. Aquarius. I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something new under the sun. It may at first look turbulent, but I bet it will mostly just be interesting.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) Should you try private experiments that might generate intimate miracles? Yes! Should you dream up extravagant proposals and schedule midnight rendezvous! By all means! Should you pick up where your fantasies left off the last time you got too timid to explore further? Naturally! Should you find out what “as raw as the law allows” actually means? I encourage you! Should you question taboos that are no longer relevant? Most assuredly! Should you burn away the rotting pain with a show of liberated strength? Beyond a doubt! Should you tap into the open secret at the core of your wild beauty! Of course!
