That feeling you get when you find a great booth at your favorite summer festival, is the best way to describe a visit to Native Riders. From custom made leather clothing dripping in fringe to colorful feather accessories, the store feels like a rare journey back to a time when quality and originality matters. The experience continues with every new treasure you discover. There’s leather hides, turquoise and silver jewelry, Tandy products, craft findings, bohemian clothing, sage, sweetgrass, incense, Panama hats, hand-crafted knives, Mountain T-shirts, custom leather belts and Native American art.

The list could go on and on but suffice to say, this is definitely the most enjoyable place to shop for yourself or buy that unique gift for that special person. They’re enviro-conscious too!

Promoting HealthThank you for publishing such an inspiring and thorough article (“Community in Transition,” Sept. 3). As the Center for

Well-Being’s Promotoras de Salud/Health Promoters coordinator, I would like to acknowledge the invaluable work that this group of volunteers does for our community. Promotores and promotoras are peer health educators; that is, people who have come forward voluntarily and received nutrition education training under the guidance of dietitian Nora Bulloch at our center with the goal of going back to their communities and sharing what they’ve learned.

Alejandrina Sarmiento was one of our 127 graduates from the five-session nutrition education series done at 10 different sites countywide (Santa Rosa, Petaluma and Sonoma). This work was a partnership between the AVANCE Parent-Child programs and the Center for Well-Being under the SNAP-Ed Champions for Change (nutrition education and obesity prevention). The curricula included topics such as “Re Think Your Drink,” “Eating More Fruits and Vegetables,” “Eating less Sugar, Salt and Fat,” “Preparing Meals with MyPlate” and “Eating Well on a Budget”.

As a presenter myself, I remember Alejandrina as one of the most interested and engaging participants, asking great questions and absorbing every bit of the information we brought. It fills me with pleasure to see her featured in an article that brings hope to places where there isn’t much of it; it shows that we can change for the better, that a basic change in attitude can lead to more knowledge and, in turn, to behavior change in people and utlimately an empowered community.

Anyone interested in becoming a certified promotor(a) de salud/health promoter call 707.575.6043, ext. 18.

School LunchWith the new school year, parents’ attention is turning to school lunches. Traditionally, the USDA had used the National School Lunch Program as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. Children consumed animal fat and sugary drinks to the point where one-third have become overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws became lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

In recent years, several State Legislatures asked their schools to offer daily vegetarian options, and 64 percent of U.S. school districts now do. Moreover, hundreds of schools and school districts, including Baltimore, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami-Dade, Oakland, Philadelphia and San Diego have implemented “Meatless Mondays.” A New York City school went all vegetarian last year. Current USDA school lunch guidelines, mandated by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, require doubling the servings of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium and fat, and a meat-free breakfast. The challenge is to get students to eat the healthier foods.

Parents should work with school cafeteria managers to encourage consumption of healthy foods. Detailed guidance is available at www.schoolnutrition.org/schoolmeals, www.fns.usda.gov/cnd, www.pcrm.org/health/healthy-school-lunches and www.vrg.org/family.

Missing TanksUnfortunately, you seem to have missed Napa’s acquisition of an MRAP valued at $733,000 (“Spoils of War,” Aug. 27). I hope the rest of the math is right, because this throws serious doubt on the article at face value. Also, a vet who specialized in the aquisition and upkeep of these vehicles in Afghanistan called into a talk show on NPR and said that in his experience these vehicles have no purpose outside of a theater of war—they are designed not for active shooter operations, but for IEDs

Word to the Water-WiseIn the drought we need to go on a water budget BY BIANCA MAY

Our state is drying up. We are currently experiencing one of the worst droughts in California’s history. Everywhere I go, there

are street signs reminding people not to waste water. There are programs to assist residents with replacing lawns with drought-resistant plants. There are daily newspaper articles and news clips on TV showing the effects of the drought in many areas.

The drought is likely to inflict $2.2 billion in losses on the agricultural industry, according to a July study from the UC Davis. We will absorb the loss of this not only in our state economy but in the cost of our groceries.

Yet some people, who are aware of our current situation, seem to act with a sense of entitlement—washing cars that aren’t visibly dirty, daily watering of lawns to keep them green, etc. There seems to be an attitude among some that if you can pay for it, it’s yours to use. Unfortunately, rain does not come simply because you pad your water bill.

The reality is that we need to treat water as we do money—money on a budget. People would do well to develop a wider worldview in thinking about our water situation. The water we have is the water budget allotted to all of us in the state. We need to spend it carefully. The water you waste washing your car could be the water your neighbors need to wash their dishes. Yes, we all have water coming out of our taps when we turn them on, but for how long?

Budget your water now. You won’t regret it later.

PAUL DUNNVia online

Tom Gogola responds: Thanks for your note and concerns about the piece. The spreadsheet database I was working from, which was dated May 2014, did not include any mention of the mine-resistant vehicle in Napa. 

Since our story came out, I’ve gotten a response to a public records request from the California State Office of Emergency Services that has a more updated list of acquirements under the Department of Defense 1033 plan. The

updated, June 2014 list includes the MRAP vehicle as a standalone item that the city of Napa requested and received from the Department of Defense in March. The item is the only one listed on the OES database acquired by the Napa.

The state OES database comes with a cautionary note about the spreadsheets that should have been further amplified in my original piece. These databases are snapshots of what is in a municipalities’ possession at a given point of time. As such, notes OES, the spreadsheet “may not reflect more recent transactions within the . . . dynamically changing database.”  

We regret the omission of the Napa MRAP from the original story.

WHALE OF A SEASON Whales, like this humpback, have been showing up in large numbers in Northern California waters.

The whale season to end all whale seasons has scientists searching for explanations BY SALLY NEAS

whale activity, particularly from humpbacks. The trend hasn’t shown signs of slowing.

“Over the last couple of weeks there’s been a definite increase in whales, especially blue whales,” says Ashley Englehart, naturalist with SF Bay Whale Watching in Sausalito. “There are more

protections in place than ever before, including ships slowing down. The water has also been warmer, which increases the food in the water, so more whales have been coming up to eat.”

It’s not just the humpbacks that have been active. There have been reports about

That’s when the Monterey Bay and Northern California in general began to see an unprecedented amount of The Bohemian started as The Paper in 1978.

THEForeclosure Fallout

“Racial disparities exist” is the troubling conclusion of a just-released housing study that Fair Housing of Marin took part in, with the National Fair Housing Alliance.

Their findings? Banks and property preservation companies don’t keep up their foreclosed properties in black and Latino communities—and in these parts, that means Vallejo.

The report, released last week, details racial disparities in the maintenance of houses owned by banks after the financial crash. The study spanned 30 metro regions in the country and found that they don’t cut the grass or secure the windows or doors or remove the trash in black or Latino neighborhoods the way they do in the white ones.

The Marin County group studied shuttered and foreclosed homes in Vallejo and Richmond, and found a mess. “Neighbors are alternately furious and discouraged about the poor maintenance,” said Fair Housing of Marin executive director Caroline Peattie in a statement. “They found it peculiar that the same bank that foreclosed on the home next door was now dragging property values down on the entire block because the bank was not maintaining the property.”—Tom Gogola

Living Wage A coalition of labor, faith, environmental and other Sonoma County community groups presented a “living wage” ordinance at a Monday press conference that it plans to deliver to the county board of supervisors this fall. The groups also presented economic analysis of the wage hike.

flocks of pelicans in the tens of thousands. All of this activity has led ocean watchers to wonder what the heck is going on. Is this normal? And is it going to continue? Unfortunately, as is often the case with science, there are no easy answers, but scientists do have some intriguing leads.

One of the reasons we are seeing more whales is simply that there are more whales in general. “When I started doing this in the late ’80s, there were only 400 humpbacks,” says Nancy Black, a marine biologist and owner of the whale-watching company Monterey Bay Whale Watch. “But since they’ve been protected, their numbers have increased over the years by 6 percent a year. There are about 2,500 [now].”

But what has been remarkable about this year is that the humpbacks have been sticking around for so long. Typically, they come into shallow waters, eat up what is here, then move on to other feeding spots. These past 12 months, the whales have been more concentrated and slower to move on.

That leads us to the next reason we have seen so many humpbacks: anchovies.

The last year has seen huge numbers of anchovies. The spawn of anchovies is likely related to a 25-year oscillation between anchovies and sardines, a phenomenon that has been catalogued by Francisco Chavez of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Every 25 years, the California coast fluxes between a “sardine regime” and an “anchovy regime.” During a “sardine regime,” there are historically tons of sardines, warmer ocean temperatures off the coast of California and fewer nutrients in the water. An anchovy regime, which we entered at the beginning of the new millennium, is typified by the opposite: cooler water, more nutrients and tons of anchovies.

But in fact, the ocean hasn’t been cold. It’s actually been warmer than average. The warmer waters may be related to

the proposed ordinance calls for boosting the pay of all workers employed by the county, county contractors and private employers receiving public funds to $15 an hour. If adopted, the ordinance would cover about 5,000 low-wage workers in the county.

“This has been coming for some time now,” says Marty Bennett, co-chair of North Bay Jobs With Justice. “We feel there are three votes on the board of supervisors, but we hope to get everyone.”

Three cities in the county—Petaluma, Sebastopol and Sonoma—have already adopted similar ordinances and, according to a study conducted by Political Economy Research Institute economist Jeannette Wicks-Lim, the increased wage would have a significant impact on the lives on county workers but a minimal one on county coffers and local businesses.

“The living wage ordinance will impose a relatively modest cost increase for covered businesses, typically in the range 0.2 percent to 4.5 percent of their total revenue, depending on their industry,” says the fiscal impact report. “Costs transmitted to the county will be smaller still, equal to less than 0.03 percent of the county’s total budget of $1.4 billion or 0.1 percent of the county’s general fund of $390 million for (fiscal year) 2014–15.”

The state’s current minimum wage is $9 an hour. At that rate, a full-time worker earns $18,720 annually. According to Wicks-Lim’s analysis, this leaves a gap of nearly $50,000 between what the worker earns and the $66,800 that the average three-person family living in Sonoma County would need to cover its basic expenses. Increasing the hourly wage to $15 would come close to closing that gap, the report says.

Nationally, 140 cities and counties have implemented similar living wage ordinances.

a strange wind pattern. Starting in the spring, the winds usually blow from the northwest, causing an upwelling of deeper, colder waters. We had a windy spring, like normal, which likely began the upwelling of these colder waters. These northwest winds usually continue, but not this summer. Instead, we saw lots of south winds, which bring warmer water.

It’s hard to get a clear answer on why the southern winds blew during the summer, because no one really seems to know. “It’s incredibly complex,” said Santa Cruz–based researcher Jodi Fredi. “What I do know is the scientists don’t fully understand it.”

The theory about wind patterns is speculation, and we are likely years away from really understanding what has been going on in the atmosphere. Some scientists are even critical of Chavez’s theory about sardines and anchovies. His data goes back only a hundred years, and older records of marine sediments tracing back thousands of years suggest that there were times when both groups were in high populations.

It’s hard to say if any of this can really be considered “normal,” especially because populations of many marine animals are still recovering from being heavily hunted and fished.

FILL ‘ER UP SpiritWorks’ aged gin takes on flavors of vanilla and carmelized wood.

Cold, Old GinSpiritWorks introduces barrel-aged gin BY JAMES KNIGHT

working, too, since everyone works on the production room floor at SpiritWorks, from the tasting-room manager to, on this day, the visitors.

The occasion is the distillery’s inaugural release of barrel-aged gin. SpiritWorks opened in 2013 in a reconditioned warehouse in Sebastopol’s Barlow center. It’s a “grain to glass” distillery, meaning that the process is controlled every step of the way, from receiving pallets of California-grown, organic red winter wheat to rectifying the final product in a column still.

The first job of SpiritWorks is

to produce gin, a spicy gin that’s fragrant with fresh-zested citrus, coriander and other herbs and spices that are displayed in jars on a table by the distillery sofa. “No vodka!” was their rallying cry, until they made the mistake of offering their grain-neutral spirit—only as an interesting contrast to the finished product—to a very large distributer with whom they’re thrilled to be associated, says Timo. “Great, we’ll take both,” said the very large distributer. So SpiritWorks makes both gin and vodka.

But it may have been sloe gin,

Bandit knows the drill. When Timo and Ashby Marshall lead a tour of their

Sebastopol distillery, their Boston terrier trots alongside, pausing for an explanation of the grain milling process with an expression of utter concentration, before dutifully moving on to the next feature in tandem with the shuffling shoes.

Perhaps Bandit thinks he’s

all along, that was the goal, the way that Timo Marshall waxes over the bitter, Eurasian berry of the blackthorn bush. Reared partly in Peru, Marshall speaks, with an international British accent, about his family’s passion for the sloe berry. Now back in Britain, his mother carries a walking stick on country strolls, not for balance but to craftily hook branches laden with berries over stone walls. SpiritWorks sloe gin, quite a different product from the treacly sweet product that older visitors may recall—and younger ones have never heard of—is made with macerated Bulgarian berries.

In 2014, SpiritWorks added a rickhouse for aging wheat and rye whiskey in barrels. Several of these have iPods and headphones attached to them, each matched to a control barrel, in a “why-not” bid to see whether ballet has a different effect on the aging spirit than rock, for instance.

The whiskey will rock on into 2015 before being bottled. Meanwhile, SpiritWorks has just bottled its first batch of barrel-aged gin. Unlike American whiskey, which is required by law to be aged in new, charred American oak barrels—if even for a matter of minutes, for some white whiskeys—this style of gin was a rarity outside the Netherlands, but it’s catching on with craft distillers.

Amber-hued in a clear bottle, hand-numbered with sparkly pen for “extra bling,” according to Timo, Batch 001 Barrel Gin (expect to pay about $50) is a highly aromatic product with citrus zest, juniper and coriander overwhelming the typical alcohol aroma of clear spirits. From its four-month sojourn in oak, it also picked up caramelized wood notes and sweet vanillin, so it can be tried in place of either gin or whiskey, for different takes on the martini or Manhattan. And it’s also meant for sipping neat.

Rainbows of TomatoesRed ones, orange ones, yellow ones, green ones, blue ones, purple ones, even black and white ones—a complete rainbow of tomatoes are coming into season right now, and we are quite lucky for it.

The heirloom tomato is perhaps the most versatile fruit on the planet. Some are sweet enough to be eaten right off the vine like candy; others are sour and do well fermenting in jars with peppers. There are ones bigger than a fist, and some the size of a fingernail. And don’t even get started on the multicolored zebra-striped ones—those are a different animal all together.

What to do with the abundance of tomatoes, though? Aside from putting them on every sandwich, every pasta, every pizza and every salad, there are plenty of ways to keep the magic of tomato season going beyond the month of September. How about drying them in the oven at 170 degrees? Ferment them in a jar with vinegar and chiles for a killer hot sauce? Blend them with Worcestershire and spices for bloody Mary mix? Or with chiles and cilantro for salsa? Tomato jam is a sweet treat from the cupboard. Or get inspired at the Kendall-Jackson Heirloom Tomato Festival Sept. 27 in Fulton—almost 200 kinds of tomato are available to sample, and top-tier chefs will prepare special dishes featuring the most versatile of fruits.—Nicolas Grizzle

S ONOMA CO UNTYAnnapolis Winery Decades before the cool Sonoma Coast became hot property, the Scalabrini family quietly planted their vineyards high above the coastal fog. Small, family-run, and a popular wedding spot; the Gewürz sells out fast. 26055 Soda Springs Road, Annapolis. Open daily. 707.886.5460.

Christopher Creek The tasting room is a small, wood-paneled anteroom stocked with bins of wine. There are no fountains, Italian tiles or anything not having to do directly with the business of sampling wines made on the premises. Chard and Cab shine. 641 Limerick Lane, Healdsburg. Open daily, 11am–5pm. 707.433.2001.

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.

Inman Family Wines Inman Family Wines Unique, single-vineyard Russian River Pinot Noir is a good reason to visit Inman Family Wine’s new winery and tasting room; you’ll crush on the “Endless Crush” sparkling Brut, too! 3900 Piner Road, Santa Rosa. Open 11am–4pm, Thursday through Monday. 707.293.9576.

Locals Tasting Room Locals is a high-concept tasting room offering over 60 wines from nine wineries in varietal flights. Corner of Geyserville Avenue and Highway 128, Geyserville. Open daily, 11am–6pm. 707.857.4900.

Meeker Vineyard You might expect Meeker to be

more slicked-out, what with its big-time Hollywood origins (co-owner Charlie Meeker is a former movie executive). But that’s clearly not the case. 21035 Geyserville Ave., Geyserville. Open Monday–Saturday, 10:30am–6pm; Sunday, noon–5pm. 707.431.2148.

Occidental Road Cellars High-end clients like Schramsberg and Radio-Coteau buy most of the Prathers’ grapes; just 5 percent are made into their own wine, and at a comparative “grower’s discount.” Chard, Pinot, and cool-climate Syrah at its very best. 2064 Gravenstein Hwy. N., Building 7, Sebastopol. By appointment, Saturday 1–4pm. 707.874.9470.

Portalupi Wine Husband-and-wife team went the distance, selecting Barbera cuttings from the Italian alps: their Barbera was named best in the world. You’ll also find Vermentino, Pinot, and rustic-chic two-liter milk jugs of “vino di tavola” in comfortable downtown lounge; wine education classes for groups. 107 North St., Healdsburg. Open daily, 10:30am–7pm. Tasting fee, $5–$12. 707.395.0960.

Stephen & Walker The sign says, um, “cult wines,” but take another look: Local winemakers who have crawled up from the very trenches of the business are offering Howell Mountain Cab, a Pinot Noir triptych, Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, and Muscat Canelli here. 243 Healdsburg Ave., Healdsburg. Daily, 11am–7pm. Tasting fee, $10. 707.431.8749.

NAPA COU NTYBenessere Vineyards Super Tuscan with a side of Zin, on the site of the original Charles Shaw, for you history buffs. Super Sangiovese, puckery Pinot Grigio, and pretty, perfumed Aglianico, what the Romans enjoyed as

the legendary “falernum.” 1010 Big Tree Road, St. Helena. Daily, 10am–5pm. Tasting fee, $20. 707.963.5853.

Castello di Amorosa Not only an “authentic Medieval Italian castle,” but authentically far more defensible than any other winery in Napa from legions of footmen in chain mail. In wine, there’s something for every taste, but don’t skip the tour of great halls, courtyards, cellars, and–naturally–an authentic dungeon. . 4045 N. St. Helena Hwy., Calistoga. 9:30am–5pm. Tasting fees, $10–$15; tours, $25–$30. Napa Neighbor discounts. 707.967.6272.

Inglenook Vineyard What’s new at Inglenook? Very little. The iconic stone building, robed in green vines, appears exactly as it did in 1890. But that’s news, and all thanks to owner Francis Ford Coppola. Still living up to Gustave Niebaum’s dream of fine wine to rival France, the once-beloved Inglenook is putting out the goods once again. 1991 St. Helena Hwy., Rutherford. Daily, 10am–5pm. Reservations for tour and tasting ($50) recommended; none required for bistro and exhibits. 707.968.1161.

Smith-Madrone Riesling is Smith-Madrone’s main fame claim. Its Riesling has steadily gained fame while Napa Valley Riesling in general has become a rare antique. 4022 Spring Mountain Road, St. Helena. By appointment. 707.963.2283.

Trefethen Winery Some critics claim Trefethen’s heyday was in the ’60s, but the winery proves them wrong with dependable, delicious wines. Trefethen is one of the oldest wineries in Napa. 1160 Oak Knoll Ave., Napa. Open daily, 11:30am–4:30pm. 707.255.7700.

Against the GrainA taste of Tokaj at Tricycle Wine PartnersBY JAMES KNIGHT

There’s more to terroir than the dirt that grapevines grow in, even if that dirt is

a particularly dramatic dirt, like the dirt in the picture on Arpad Molnar’s cell phone.

Molnar points to a foot-wide fissure that the South Napa Earthquake opened up in his family’s Poseidon Vineyard, which is situated directly above the quake’s epicenter. That’s crazy dirt, but in the Carneros, it’s the cool breeze from nearby San Pablo Bay that keeps the Poseidon Vineyard 2013 Estate Chardonnay ($26) bright with acidity. And where do those intriguing, spiced orange tea notes come from?

Molnar hands me a chunk of obsidian—weathered but sparkling blackly—from the family’s Lake County vineyard. Volcanic soils and high elevation intensify the juicy cassis flavors of the Obsidian Ridge 2010 “The Slope” Cabernet Sauvignon ($45), and contribute to the cool aromas of mint, fragrant eucalyptus and chewy, blueberry and blackberry fruit of the Obsidian Ridge 2011 Lake County Syrah ($30). But that’s not the last word in terroir at Tricycle Wine Partners.

On the tasting room’s tree-shaded deck, Peter Molnar plunks a slab of light-colored rock on a table. It’s andesitic tuff, formed millions of years ago in what is now Hungary. Specifically, it underlies the forests of Tokaj, the source of all oak barrels that Poseidon and Obsidian Ridge wines are aged in.

Brothers Arpad and Peter Molnar, whose father escaped Hungary after the failed revolution of 1956, returned to their ancestral land in the early 1990s. “It was a really exciting time,” says Arpad, with a gleam in his eye. They soon developed a business venture with a co-op cooperage, one of the few employee-owned businesses that was not totally privatized. With capital from the Molnars, Kádár Hungary grew and is now partnered with French barrel biggie Taransaud.

Peter is unfazed when asked if Hungarian oak, which is less expensive than French oak, might be seen as second-best by consumers. After all, they’ve got 150 winery clients in the United States, and French and Hungarian oak barrels are made from the same species of tree, Quercus robur and Quercus petraea. Moreover, the slow-growing Tokaj forests—sustainably managed since a 1769 decree by the Holy Roman Empress—produce a tight-grained, spicy oak that was used centuries ago in Bordeaux, and is prized for its mid-palate characteristics.

“Let’s put it this way,” Arpad interjects. “Winemakers are more adventurous than most consumers.” Indeed, there’s that orange spice again, cropping up in the Poseidon Vineyard 2013 Carneros Pinot Noir ($32). Light and lively, it’s a nice enough Pinot—and one with a whole world of terroir.

Tricycle Wine Partners, 23568 Arnold Drive, Sonoma. In Cornerstone Sonoma. Open daily, 11am–5pm (weekends to 6pm). Tasting fee, $10. 707.255.4929.

Tunnel VisionsProposition 1 and Jerry Brown’s pipe dreams for the Delta BY TOM GOGOLA

In the grips of the drought, Sacramento lawmakers came to an almost unanimous agreement on the wisdom of the water bond. Along the way to passage in the Legislature, the Water Quality, Supply and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 went from “tunnel-neutral” to tunnel-wary in the final language signed by Gov. Brown.

That’s not stopping Brown from chasing his Delta twin-pipe dream, as he pursues a legacy project comprising two 40-foot-

Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, executive director of the organization Restore the Delta, scoffed at a declaration made by Gov. Jerry Brown in the days after the South Napa Earthquake. He told KGO radio

that the 6.0 quake was nothing compared to what scientists say is in store for Californians. He said global warming and the threat of the Big One should motivate wary citizens to support his twin Delta Tunnels, part of Brown’s ambitious, $25 billion Bay Delta Conservation Plan.

wide, 30-mile-long tunnels built under the Sacramento River-San Joaquin Delta that would ferry water to parched Big Ag valleys and water districts to the south.

Brown’s post-temblor comment had a whiff of the “shock doctrine” to it—a term coined by writer and activist Naomi Klein that refers to the use of a natural or man-made disaster to promote “disaster capitalism,” projects otherwise unpopular with the public; e.g., the invasion of Iraq or the destruction of the public )16

“That’s a continuation of the Brown propaganda machine for the Delta Tunnels,” Barrigan-Parrilla says with a sharp, short laugh.

Whoa, governor. State legislators

have already said no to the plan, at least for now, stripping it out of a historic $7.5 billion water bond headed for the ballot in November as Proposition 1.

WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS Critics of the governor’s tunnel project say it will do nothing to help Delta communities.

WATER SLEIGHT Gov. Brown’s twin tunnels project would run for 30 miles.

school system in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

The governor has been pitching the tunnels at public events and in speeches throughout the year, says chief spokesman Evan Westrup.

“The governor has been sounding this same alarm for the better part of two years, from the news conference where he announced his [tunnel] proposal in 2012 to a radio interview less than a month before the Napa earthquake,” says Westrup via email. “This is hardly a new warning, but in light of recent events, it seems a few more Californians are listening.”

If they are, it’s too late for any legislative motion on the tunnel front this year.

Indeed, voters’ wariness over the tunnels translated into a legislative fatwa on the subject in the final bond language that emerged in legislative negotiations. Voters will decide its fate in November when they vote on Proposition 1, but they won’t be voting on the tunnels or other parts of the Delta-conservation plan.

All of that was scrubbed by July, when the Legislature passed a $7.5 billion bond with overwhelming support—and no money for the tunnels.

The road to Proposition 1 started in 2009, with a proposed $11 billion bond

that stalled over high pork content after passing the Assembly. Some of the pork was tunnel funds that proved difficult to remove. When lawmakers took up the bond again this year, they still had to grapple with Brown’s tunnel scrapple.

State Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, says that an earlier version of the renegotiated and putatively pork-free bond this year still had some “wiggle room” to spend money on tunnel-related activities. He recalls that environmentalists told him they would be “OK if the bond was tunnel-neutral, because there’s a lot of good stuff in there.”

Tunnel neutral, says Levine, “wasn’t good enough for me.”

Nor for other lawmakers. Now the language specifically says “you can’t use the money at all for the tunnels,” says Levine. The bond language also forbids eminent domain acquisitions and any planning for “Delta conveyance facilities,” a fancy way of saying “tunnels.”

The Legislature passed the bond bill with only two no votes, from North Coast Assemblyman Wes Chesbro and Tea Partier Tim Donnelly. The former, an outgoing Democrat who is termed-out as of

November, said $2 billion for new dams was too much for him—and the bond overall didn’t “create” any new water. Donnelly said that, except for the new dams, the bond was a waste of taxpayer money.

The urgency of the endless drought pushed lawmakers this year to find a palatable bond. It will add $7.1 billion in new debt to California, and also repurposes other unspent bond money from previous, water-focused initiatives to bring it to $7.5 billion.

Levine is hopeful about a

hypothesis he’s come up with: If voters support it this fall, the aggregate effects of the bond and a new statewide groundwater management law will eliminate the underlying rationale for Brown’s tunnels, which is to keep water flowing to Big Ag and water districts down south.

Levine didn’t have specifics and said it was too early to say, but the bond would emphasize resource management and enhanced efficiencies in water usage as a way to beat the drought

DELTA BLUES Proposition 1 and Brown’s tunnel project have shined a light on California’s all-important Sacramento River Delta.

without resorting to draconian conveyance measures.

The two initiatives together add up to an pivotal moment in California water politics: The groundwater management law sets the stage for state oversight of local water districts—and the bond helps municipalities better manage their water district.

The groundwater law (see “Of Water and Wine,” July 23) requires that

localities develop water-basin sustainability plans with the assistance of, and approval from, the state. Or else. Pump stations would be state-monitored and subject to takeover for water-use violations.

Levine says the combined legislative package represents the most significant California water-use reform in a century, but he opposes the tunnels out of environmental concerns for the Delta and its fisheries.

But Proposition 1 could be put to good use in the North Bay.

“Water districts and nonprofits would make a pitch to the Department of Water Resources,” says department of spokeswoman Nancy Vogel, cautioning that “there’s always more proposals than actual money.”

The bond would send millions to programs and initiatives that promote safe drinking water, wastewater treatment and watershed restoration projects. There’s $200 million to enhance stream-flow projects, $900 million for groundwater sustainability projects and other pots of money of potential benefit to the North Bay, says Vogel.

Local organizations and water districts would compete for a share of the bond, based on need and their compliance with the 2009 Water Act, which requires municipalities to come up with water-management plans or face state sanction. And, says Vogel,

the North Coast is eligible for part of the $2.7 billion big-ticket bond item for water storage.

“That was the great debate in the Legislature,” says Vogel. “Dams and reservoirs. But groundwater is storage as well—and that $2.7 billion can be used to improve groundwater storage.”

Shirlee Zane, Sonoma County Water Agency director and a Sonoma County supervisor, says those funds could be used to fund pilot projects that could help recharge groundwater levels.

Levine says the bond is a “huge win environmentally,” and highlights the millions dedicated to enhanced stream flows, of special benefit to hammered North Bay fisheries. “Two hundred million dollars is not enough, but it is a significant sum that can provide a great benefit,” he says, adding that the bond was supported by the two biggest fish organizations in the state: Trout Unlimited and California Trout.

Meanwhile, Brown is moving ahead with his project.

After an eight-month public comment period that ended in July, the

Department of Water Resources is reviewing thousands of public comments to a draft environmental study and review, and has unspecified plans to adjust the overall Delta-restoration project based on those public comments.

“That plan is very much moving forward,” says Vogel. “Those comments and other things we’ve been hearing all along from the public make it clear that we need to go out and recirculate the plan again for public review. There will be changes, to the plans based on [environmental studies].”

Absent the tunnels, Brown warned, the Big One could bring with it a perilous mixing of fresh and seawater—disastrous to Big Ag and big city water authorities that rely on the Sacramento flow. )18

Tunnels (17

Brown’s plan has scores of opponents throughout the state—particularly in the Delta, where concerns are more about strengthening the levee system for the half-million-odd residents who live in the area. They say the bond doesn’t go far enough, even as it offers $300 million for levee restoration.

Barrigan-Parrilla says that in the event of a Big One with an epicenter in the Delta, residents there would face “100 percent of the loss of life, and 80 percent of the economic losses. The tunnels wouldn’t do anything about that.”

In a fact sheet, the organization notes the “shock doctrine” aspect of Brown’s tunnel plan: “Powerful water interests control California’s water resources and the message about the state’s water. Since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, these powerful forces have stoked fear of flooding and earthquakes to make a case for transforming a unique, beautiful and productive Delta region into a permanent way station for water going somewhere else.”

The anti-Brown right-wing blogosphere took note of Brown’s post-earthquake tunnel pronouncement with a spin of its own. The lads at the high-profile, right-leaning breitbart.com wondered at the wisdom of building underground tunnels in the high-seismic activity zone, and of course compared Brown’s plan with Red China’s massive Three Gorges Dam project.

The issue is not so much whether the tunnels would be impervious to earthquakes. Two months before the quake, a panel of engineers assured the public that the tunnels would be built to specifications far beyond the maximum predicted strength of whatever Big One is on its way.

The Delta Tunnels are part of Brown’s broader Bay Delta Conservation Plan, which also highlights habitat restoration as a key goal. For Delta residents, the issues are the levees and what they say are Brown’s indifference to their concerns.

“We have never lost a levee in the Delta due to earthquakes,” says Barrigan-Parrilla, who opposes

Proposition 1. “The governor is putting habitat restoration above humanity when it comes to Delta residents,” she says.

“The levees are in better shape than ever,” she says, “but they should spend money on reinforcing some of them—there are a couple of hundred miles of levees that should be brought up to the highest standard. The funding in the water bond doesn’t bring them to the highest possible standard.”

Vogel says that levee restoration is part of an ongoing priority for the governor. “The state has steadily invested in Delta levees,” she says. “Whether the [Bay Delta Conservation Plan] is implemented or not, that investment is needed. We’re not going to walk away from the Delta and the need to invest in the Delta this year.”

Vogel also defends the proposed tunnel-fund. Sixty-eight percent of the tab, she says, would be paid for by the public water districts that buy water. “They will pay the bulk of the costs of it,” says Vogel. How those costs are then parlayed to ratepayers remains to be seen, but Vogel noted that boards of directors of the various water districts are in ongoing discussions about the plan.

“The habitat conservation costs would be picked up by the state as a whole, and that goes toward endangered and threatened species,” she adds.

Vogel would not provide details on possible changes to the tunnel plan. “That remains to be seen,” she says, and says only that the “general categories are impacts to Delta residents and water quality. We’re looking hard at the comments and at the plan and looking at ways to improve it.”

As for the bond act’s excision of tunnel funds? “We don’t need those funds in this water bond. We assume there will be money down the road,” she adds. “Maybe another bond.”

Maybe not, says Levine: “Let’s lay the foundation for solving our water problems in a way that allows us to break away from the rigid thinking of the Governor’s tunnel vision.”

A BEAUTIFUL MIND The Music Festival for Brain Health seeks to dispell the stigma that surrounds mental health issues.

Music for the MindAnnual music and health festival celebrates 20 years Sept. 13-14 BY CHARLIE SWANSON

him back on track, but the family knew they were facing a lifelong struggle.

“We realized that not everyone was that fortunate, and he was certainly a long way from being really cured,” says Garen Staglin in a phone interview. “So we decided to run toward the problem, instead of running away.”

In 1994, the Staglins founded One Mind, a nonprofit dedicated to funding mental-health research and raising awareness of brain illnesses. They also began their

first Music Festival for Brain Health. This weekend the festival celebrates its 20th year with live music, fine wine and food, and engaging discussions centered on the issues of mental health.

The Staglin Family Vineyard is once again the location for the first day of the festival. The day begins with a symposium featuring the brightest minds in brain research, including a keynote address from Eric S. Lander, one of the principal leaders of the Human Genome Project.

Nineteen ninety-one was a year that changed everything for

Garen and Shari Staglin. That was when the couple,

who worked in the financial and healthcare industries, respectively, and owned Rutherfiord’s Staglin Family Vineyards, watched their son suffer his first psychotic break due to schizophrenia. Medications and therapy were able to help get

A winetasting featuring more than 80 wineries held in Staglin’s wine caves follows. Then the sounds of Vintage Trouble rock the vineyard. Hailing from Los Angeles, the funky, roots-rock outfit is perfect accompaniment for dancing and grooving. Capping off the day is a VIP dinner created by six local chefs, including One Market’s Mark Dommen, Perbacco’s Stephen Terje and Farallon’s Terri Wu.

Sunday is another packed day that takes place at Lincoln Theater, in Yountville. The “fStop Warrior Project Exhibit” will showcase photography from military veterans suffering from PTSD or having other mental issues, and a food truck outside will cater to the crowds before festival headliner Jewel performs. Jewel has maintained a steady output of critically acclaimed folk and pop for more than 20 years, and she brings her powerful voice to the intimate space of the theater.

One Mind brings a focus on stigmatized conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorders and depression. “I think we are seeing growing awareness that these are not diseases of character; they’re diseases of chemicals, and more people are willing to talk about it,” says Staglin.

“The festival,” Staglin adds, “is a way to get the science out there and get people to be hopeful about the fact that speaking out and getting treatment can improve conditions in the lives of people today, and ultimately cure their illnesses tomorrow.”

The Music Festival for Brain Health happens on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13–14, at Staglin Family Vineyards (1570 Bella Oaks Lane, Rutherford) and Lincoln Theater (100 California Drive, Yountville). $100 and up. www.music-festival.org

Stage

Fiddler Forever The ever-popular musical celebrates 50 years this month BY DAVID TEMPLETON

Few American musicals inspire deeper sighs of love, affection,

nostalgia and bliss than Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joseph Stein’s 1964 masterpiece Fiddler on the Roof. Based on the writings of Sholem Aleichem, Fiddler is arguably the greatest American musical of all time.

Fiddler, the story of a Jewish father holding on to his faith and traditions in a rapidly changing world, stands apart form other shows through the sheer emotional power of its sweeping yet intimate story, and for the number of songs in the score that went on to stand alone as instantly recognizable American pop classics: “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,”

SHOWSTOPPERS Stephen Walsh and Elly Lichenstein shine in ‘ Fiddler on the Roof.’ .

“Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were a Rich Man,” “Miracle of Miracles,” “Far from the Home I Love” and “Tradition,” quite possibly the best show-starter of any musical.

In the joyously overstuffed production now playing at Cinnabar Theater—an already extended run designed to overlap with Fiddler’s official 50th anniversary on Sept. 22—director John Shillington has put the tiny Ukrainian village of Anatevka on Cinnabar’s compact stage, with a cast of 40 actors that give the town, and the show, a pleasantly bursting-at-the-seams quality.

In the opening song, as poor milkman Tevye (a wonderful Stephen Walsh) sings of the traditions that hold his community together, the stage rapidly fills with singing, dancing villagers, backed up by a first-rate orchestra under the direction of Mary Chun, and a fiddler (Tyler Lewis, alternating with Claire-Jeanne Martin) who is perched on a stylized rooftop at the edge of the stage, nearly stealing the show as the story plays on.

As Tevye, Walsh gives our amiable narrator and hero a charmingly cozy, intimate affability. Elly Lichenstein is perfect as Tevye’s vibrantly longsuffering wife, Golda, Dwayne Stincelli is a hoot as the lonely butcher Lazar Wolf, and as Yente, the village matchmaker, Madeleine Ashe is hilarious. As Tevye’s marriageable daughters Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava, Jennifer Mitchell, Molly Mahoney and Erin Ashe all deliver the goods with beautifully sung, heartfelt performances.

There are rough patches here and there, a not-unexpected by-product of cramming a lot of action onto so small a stage, but Shillington dazzles the eye with so many clever moments and images—including a towering ghost puppet—that few in the happy, tune-humming audience are likely to notice the rough spots.

Rating (out of 5):

‘Fiddler on the Roof’ runs through Sept. 28 at Cinnabar Theater, 3333 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. Friday–Saturday, 8pm. Sunday matinees, 2pm $25–$35. 707.763.8920

Film

Strangers in New York Ira Sachs’ ‘Love Is Strange’ fails to connect BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

TAKE ME HOME John Lithgow and Alfred Molina play a newly married couple enduring temporary homelessness in New York.

The film Love Is Strange is undone by Manhattan chauvinism—the idea that leaving the island is a fate worse than death.

But we do get the second best thing in Love Is Strange, seeing John Lithgow, like Lear, shirtless, landless and surrounded by ungrateful relatives. Two great films, Leo McCarey’s Make Way for Tomorrow (1937) and Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story (1952) have done justice to this story of an old couple separated by homelessness—proof once again that the great movie is the enemy of the pretty good one.

Benjamin (Lithgow) and his partner of some 40 years, George (Alfred Molina), have married at long last. George loses his job teaching at a Catholic high school when the news gets out. The couple have to sell their co-op apartment and couch-surf while they look for a new home. George ends up with neighbors, a pair of hard-partying gay cops. Benjamin descends into the flat of his nephew Elliot (the unduly sinister Darren E. Burrows), his wife, (Marisa Tomei), and their troubled teenage son (Charlie Tahan).

No city-dweller over 50 is immune to the chill of these circumstances. Lithgow and Molina easily have the chops to play lovers in winter, cuddling like bears in a tiny bunk bed. But we’re expected to believe that the two lived through four titanic decades of gay history—civil disobedience, legal and social discrimination, a terrible epidemic and then Sept. 11 on top of it all. How did these old gents end up as such babes in the woods?

We’re expected to weep at their gentleness and good breeding, and to feel there’s no other place they could possibly exist than New York. But director Ira Sachs’ very average cityscaping isn’t irresistible, either in the standard rooftop view with that same lone fluttering pigeon soaring past the wooden water tanks that’s in every Manhattan movie, or in the end scenes, when the city is enveloped in a sunlike glare of its own golden awesomeness.

‘Love Is Strange’ opens Sept. 19 at Summerfield Cinemas, 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 707.522.0719.

Raw EnergyMC Pure Powers finds a new source of inspiration BY NICOLAS GRIZZLE

Though he’s always been called “Pure,” the Santa Rosa MC

known as Pure Powers took the name literally about four years ago, when he quit using drugs and alcohol. Now the 29-year-old, who began rapping in eighth grade, is about to release his first full-length album studded with guest MCs and turntablists from around the Bay Area.

“If I would’ve gained success at the height of my addiction, I’d be dead,” says Powers over burritos at a Santa Rosa taqueria. “I chase different highs now. I chase the high of a good crowd. I chase the high of a beat that motivates or inspires me.”

CLEAN POWER ‘I chase the high of a beat that motivates or inspires me.’

On paper, it’s easy to pigeonhole Pure Powers, whose “government name” is Brendan Powers, as a white rapper who looks and sounds a bit like Macklemore, last year’s Grammy winner for best rap album. “It’s a compliment,” he says of the comparison, but quickly changes the subject. He’d rather talk about his own music than try to convince people he’s someone else.

Powers, a Sonoma County native, had to leave his home to find perspective. “I wanted to be a gangsta rapper from Occidental,” he says. “Growing up in Sonoma County, I wished I’d been living in the ghetto. I was upset that I always had two parents looking out for me.”

With a shrug he chalks it up to “the human nature of ‘the grass is always greener.’” Then he moved to Hawaii and found out what it’s like to be a minority (his high school was mostly Pacific Islanders), before living in Oakland, which he loved. Powers came back to Sonoma County a few years ago and started making himself a fixture on the North Bay’s hip-hop scene.

Whether it’s writing lyrics, posting on social media or making copies of flyers for upcoming shows and taping them up around town, he’s literally a one-man band. “The days of someone just randomly finding you and investing a bunch of money into you, that’s over,” says Powers.

The work shows through on his album, which will be released Sept. 13 at his show a Aubergine in Sebastopol. Plenty of guest voices and turntablists provide a variety of sounds on the 19-song bonanza, titled My Album. Standouts are “Too Bad,” “Time Won’t Wait” and “Mystic Vibes,” the latter containing a sexy sax riff and a fun story about connecting with a woman on the dance floor.

Not one to sit back and relax, Powers is already working on his next two albums. And he’s feeling better than ever about his career. “The name with Powers means now that I’m 100 percent me,” he says. “Pure human, ya know?

Pure Powers performs with Scarub of Living Legends Saturday, Sept. 13, at Aubergine. 755 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol. 9pm. $5–$10. 707.829.2722.

Stranger Than FictionThe unlikely pairing of Duran Duran and David LynchOne is a group of musical superstars from Birmingham, England; the other is a Boy Scout from Missoula, Mont., turned surrealist auteur.

For the last 30 years, rock band Duran Duran and filmmaker David Lynch have both excelled in their arts, though the two couldn’t be more different.

It was a surprise, then, when news came that the British rockers had brought in the cult hero to direct their latest concert documentary. Recorded in 2011 at Los Angeles’ Mayan Theatre, Duran Duran: Unstaged is a one-of-a-kind film experience, as the band’s live show is mixed with abstract images, done in Lynch’s interpretive style, superimposed over the footage; the film is being shown in theaters across the country for one night only.

This film is part of the “American Express Unstaged” series, which pairs up other seemingly unrelated powerhouses, such as rock band the Killers and German director Werner Herzog. For Lynch, this is his first full-length film since his 2006 ultra-weird epic Inland Empire. For Duran Duran, the concert coincides with their 2011 album, All You Need Is Now. For fans of both Lynch and Duran Duran, this film is a radically original and unexpected work that needs to be seen to be believed.

Duran Duran: Unstaged screens on Wednesday, Sept. 10, at Summerfield Cinemas, 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 7pm. $10. 707.522.0719.—Charlie Swanson

10–7; WEEKDAYS

AstrologyARIES (March 21–April 19) In the 2000 film Cast Away, Tom Hanks plays an American FedEx executive who is stranded alone on a remote Pacific island after he survives a plane crash. A few items from the plane wash up on shore, including a volleyball. He draws a face on it and names it “Wilson,” creating a companion who becomes his confidant for the next four years. I’d love to see you enlist an ally like Wilson in the coming week, Aries. There are some deep, messy, beautiful mysteries you need to talk about. At least for now, the only listener capable of drawing them out of you in the proper spirit might be a compassionate inanimate object that won’t judge you or interrupt you.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) As far as I know, there has been only one battleship in history that was named after a poet. A hundred years ago, the Italian navy manufactured a dreadnought with triple-gun turrets and called it Dante Alighieri, after the Medieval genius who wrote the Divine Comedy. Other than that, most warships have been more likely to receive names like Invincible, Vengeance, Hercules or Colossus. But it would be fine if you drew some inspiration from the battleship Dante Alighieri in the coming weeks. I think you will benefit from bringing a lyrical spirit and soulful passion to your expression of the warrior archetype.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) If you go to a 7-Eleven convenience store and order a Double Big Gulp drink, you must be prepared to absorb 40 teaspoons of sugar. But what will be an even greater challenge to your body is the sheer amount of fluid you will have to digest: 50 ounces. The fact is, your stomach can’t easily accommodate more than 32 ounces at a time. It’s true that if you sip the Double Big Gulp very slowly—like for a period of three and a half hours—the strain on your system will be less. But after the first half hour, as the beverage warms up, its taste will decline steeply. Everything I’ve just said should serve as a useful metaphor for you in the coming week. Even if you are very sure that the stuff you want to introduce into your life is healthier for you than a Double Big Gulp, don’t get more of it than you can comfortably hold.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) If you surrender to the passive part of your personality, you will be whipped around by mood swings in the coming days. You will hem and haw, snivel and procrastinate, communicate ineptly and be confused about what you really feel. If, on the other hand, you animate the proactive side of your personality, you are likely to correct sloppy arrangements that have kept you off-balance. You will heal rifts and come up with bright ideas about how to get the help you need. It’s also quite possible you will strike a blow for justice and equality, and finally get the fair share you were cheated out of in the past.

LEO (July 23–August 22) In his 1982 martial arts film Dragon Lord, Jackie Chan experimented with more complex stunts than he had tried in his previous films. The choreography was elaborate and intricate. In one famous sequence, he had to do 2,900 takes of a single fight sequence to get the footage he wanted. That’s the kind of focused attention and commitment to detail I recommend to you in the coming weeks, Leo—especially if you are learning new tricks and attempting novel approaches.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) In 1786, Jacques Balmat and Michel Paccard were the first explorers to reach the top of 15,781-foot Mont Blanc on the French-Italian border. They were hailed as heroes. One observer wrote that the ascent was “an astounding achievement of courage and determination, one of the greatest in the annals of mountaineering. It was accomplished by men who were not only on unexplored ground but on a route that all the guides believed impossible.” And yet today, 228 years later, the climb is considered relatively easy for anyone who’s reasonably prepared. In a typical year, 20,000 people make it to the summit. Why am I bringing this to your attention? Because I suspect that you are beginning to master a skill that will initially require you to be like Balmat and Paccard, but will eventually be almost routine.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Those who invoke the old metaphor about the caterpillar that transforms into the butterfly often omit an important detail: the graceful winged creature is helpless and weak when it first wriggles free of its chrysalis. For a while it’s not ready to take up its full destiny. As you get ready for your own metamorphosis, Libra, keep that in mind. Have plans to lay low and be self-protective in the days following your emergence into your new form. Don’t try to do loop-the-loops right away.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Scorpios are currently the sign of the zodiac that is least likely to be clumsy, vulgar, awkward or prone to dumb mistakes. On the other hand, you are the most likely to derisively accuse others of being clumsy, vulgar, awkward or prone to dumb mistakes. I recommend that you resist that temptation, however. In the coming week, it is in your selfish interests to be especially tactful and diplomatic. Forgive and quietly adjust for everyone’s mistakes. Don’t call undue attention to them or make them worse. Continue to build your likability and fine-tune your support system.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) You have cosmic permission to be bigger than life and wilder than sin. You have a poetic license to be more wise than clever. And you should feel free to laugh longer than might seem polite and make no apologies as you spill drinks while telling your brash stories. This phase of your astrological cycle does not require you to rein yourself in or tone yourself down or be a well-behaved model citizen. In fact, I think it will be best for everyone concerned if you experiment with benevolent mischief and unpredictable healing and ingenious gambles.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) For over 2,000 years, Chinese astronomers have understood the science of eclipses. And yet as late as the 1800s, sailors in the Chinese navy shot cannonballs in the direction of lunar eclipses, hoping to chase away the dragons they imagined were devouring the moon. I have a theory that there’s a similar discrepancy in your psyche, Capricorn. A fearful part of you has an irrational fantasy that a wiser part of you knows is a delusion. So how can we arrange for the wiser part to gain ascendancy? There’s an urgent need for you to stop wasting time and energy by indulging in that mistaken perspective.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) Squirrels don’t have a perfect memory of where they bury their nuts. They mean to go back and dig them all up later, but they lose track of many. Sometimes trees sprout from those forgotten nuts. It’s conceivable that on occasion a squirrel may climb a tree it planted years earlier. I see this as a useful metaphor for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. You are on the verge of encountering grown-up versions of seeds you sowed once upon a time and then forgot about.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) On a German TV show, martial artist Jackie Chan performed a tough trick. While holding a raw egg in his right hand, he used that hand to smash through three separate sets of four concrete blocks. When he was finished, the egg was still intact. I see your next task as having some resemblances to that feat, Pisces. You must remain relaxed, protective and even tender as you destroy an obstruction that has been holding you back. Can you maintain this dual perspective long enough to complete the job? I think you can.
