Take Back Halloween!0G;716/3:@=03@BA

IT HAPPENED again this year. Halloween, like almost every other special day on the calendar, has become another kids day. Add it to Christmas (loads of presents), Easter (Resurrection? Nah, its about chocolate bunnies) and the special first, second, third, fourth, etc., birthdays, each one a milestone in the all-important life of the American child. Meanwhile, as adults, parents struggle with the grind of earning wages to support their youngstersor just themselvesand maybe a mortgage on a house the kids will likely inherit. The brightest spot on their horizons is often the kiddies college graduation, which they often fund. Its not easy being a parent. They worry about so many of the choices their children have. Wanting the best for them, they work more, they give countless hours, they become soccer moms. Trips to Europe are sacrificed while much of their future is spent watching and nurturing the little seedlings into adulthood.

So many years with precious little time that is just theirs. Not a problem, really, just a reality theyve chosen. They exist with few accepted avenues for a little Me time.

Id like to propose a day just for adults: Lets take back Halloween. As a childrens day, Halloween is problematic at best. First theres the candy. Do children really need all that sugar? Oh yeah, and before they eat it you better take it to the police to have it X-rayed, just in case. Cavities and razor blades: just what our kids need. How about British studies linking heavy candy consumption to criminal behavior later in life? And don t forget the toxic chemicals found in face paint. But not to worry, theyll be just fine as long as you carefully select their neighborhood trick- or-treat route and act as Sherpa for their greedy little scavenger hunt.

Halloween: its problematic and fraught with peril!(Also, what kind of lesson could possibly be learned by going

door-to-door asking for free stuff ? Nobody even asks for a trick anymore. Kids would probably be fearful if presented one: OMG! That guy must be a child molester!)

Face it, this is nothing but complicated on every level: message, behavior and diet. Lets take back Halloween, folks. This is a day filled with magic and mystery, exciting role playinga chance to cut loose and literally be someone else. We deserve a day with little or no travel time, allowing adults a fun break from the ordinary, minus the children. Halloween gives adults a little piece of Burning Man with none of the hassle and dust. This is a day to let your freakor sexyflag f ly!

Lets start next year. Trick or treating could be phased out gradually, as appropriate for your kids ages, and just omitted from the experience of anyone under 5, but details are your own to work out.

Theyve got Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairynot to mention a usually very generous set of grandparentsso now well have one day just for us adults. You really think theyll be deprived if they lose this? And parents can rest assured that this complicated and perilous night is just for adultscause face itwere big enough to handle it!

I applaud Mr. Elericks effort to remind Caltrans that it is responsible to the people they are supposed to serve. Maybe we need a collective effort to send them all hearing aids since they seem to have a problem hearing what We the People have to say.

7AB67A=C@4CBC@3-ONCE upon a time, the standard answer to traffic congestion on a freeway like Highway 1 was to add capacity by adding lanes. But more and more transportation planning research is showing thats not a cost- effective answer in urban areas that are already congested. When congestion is heavy and there is much latent demand for more trips during the peak hours, adding lanes induces faster growth of the automotive system, leading to renewed congestion on a grander scale.

Renewed congestion can develop in just a few years, despite hundreds of millions of dollars being spent. In the case of the proposed Soquel to Morrissey Auxiliary Lanes project on Highway 1, some congestion would continue immediately on opening, with the project traffic study showing new bottlenecks occurring immediately downstream in both directions.

So then the answer is proposed to be the HOV Lanes Project, which would widen Route 1 to eight lanes for most of the stretch from Highway 17 to San Andreas Road. But that projects traffic study forecasts that if the HOV Lanes were built, growth in daily traffic volume on Highway 1 by the year 2035 would be in the 45 percent to 70 percent range. Some specific onramps and offramps would have volume increases of well over 100 percent. Does anybody suppose all those additional cars would need somewhere to go, before they get on Highway 1, and after they get off ? Is that the sustainable future we want to plan and build for?

The recent 350 (parts per million of CO2) public events in Santa Cruz publicized the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we dont wish to be f loating in gondolas down Pacific Avenue. The cost-efficient way to achieve that, in our transportation sector, is to shift new transportation investments to infrastructure and demand- management

programs that support alternatives to the automobile. Its been done elsewhere, and can be done here. Especially promising: the rail corridor may soon be in public ownership. This is an alternate travel corridor parallel to Highway 1, which many residents have never even seen the length of. It could support a bicycle expressway, pedestrian trail, and a starter trolley or express busway service (all proven compatible with continuing rail freight service), but it will need funding. I would not expect well have the money, if we keep giving the lions share to the car.

Im personally most grateful for his organizing, in the early to middle 1970s, a series of weekly readings at downtown restaurants that virtually created a Santa Cruz literary community. Mortons organizational energies and skills with publicity brought together a vastly diverse assortment of writers to hear one anothers work, and these well-attended gatherings generated friendships and collegial relations many of which continue to this day. For young writers looking for like-minded souls with whom to interact and compete and sometimes seduce, and for an audience to witness our performances, the Marcus touch as social director, carnival barker and ringmaster set a standard I have never seen surpassed.

As Joe Stroud said to me, choking back tears, I think Mort is going to be someone were going to miss more and more. Beyond the boombast [sic!] and the bullshit, he was an amazing man.

Literary Friendships

It was Jim and Jeanne Houston who first cajoled Mort and his family into

moving to Santa Cruz. Jim Houston and Marcus had been graduate students together at Stanford in the early 1960s, and their friendship then evolved into a lifelong personal and literary alliance as they became twin towers of accomplishment in their respective disciplines, Jim in prose and Mort in poetry. Their illnesses and deaths within six months of each other this year are a devastating double blow to local culture. Both in their early 70s, both still working right up to the end (Mort completed his final book two days before he died), they represent the passing of an irreplaceable generation.

And yet, their example serves as a continuing inspiration to all the other writers they befriended here. And other artists too, like Morts friend Futzie Nutzle, learned from and were inspired by his vision. He had some kind of ability to point things out to us, Nutzle told me. I think he pointed out the beauty . . . but it took him a while because he was so tough.

That toughness, that scrappy street-fighter tenacity, surely accounts for the fact that it took the kidney cancer he was

diagnosed with two years agoa cancer that would have been swiftly fatal for most peopleso long to finish him off. Morton simply did not give up, even when he knew the cause was lost.

I remember a conversation we had over sushi and sake one night in the 1990s, when he admitted to me that he felt he had not measured up to his original ambition to be a truly great and famous writer. As with most of us who begin with such lofty goals and dreams, those illusions had given way to a more realistic assessment of his achievement. But he realized that was no small thing, and that all the books hed published, the magazines and anthologies in which his work had appeared, all the readings and lectures hed given and classes hed taught and articles hed written and friendships hed cultivated and events hed organized added up to a lasting contribution to his communityboth the local one and the larger immortal fellowship of literature with which he felt forever affiliated.

Morton Marcus left his mark on Santa Cruz, and on each of us who had the singular luck to know him. As Nutzle said, Its hard to believe that somebody of his magnitude is somewhere else now.

A memorial service for Morton Marcus will be held Saturday, Nov. 7, 13pm at the Cabrillo Crocker Theater, Cabrillo College, 6500 Soquel Dr., Aptos. The Marcus family is donating Mortons poetry collection and literary papers to the Morton Marcus Poetry Archive, to be housed at McHenry Library, UCSC. In lieu of flowers, tax-deductible contributions to benefit the archive can be sent to: Library Development Office, Attn: Morton Marcus Poetry Archive, UCSanta Cruz, 1156 High St., Santa Cruz.

bartender is making a bunch of other drinks and the bar is like four deep. Always tip your bartender, and if you think you know what you want, know what you want.

I think there shouldnt be a drink that you shouldnt order. At a good bar with a good bartender you should be able to order whatever you want.

I think letting the bartender know whats going on is the best way. In the end, the bartender is responsible for whatevers going on. So just tell me, that way I can go get a bouncer. The worst thing you can do is leave the pub with someone to go fight. Ive gotten clocked a few times doing that.

Never tell a bartender that youre drunk. We get a lot of kids that come in here and go, Oh man, Im so drunk! Thats like an alarm going off saying dont serve me. But always remember if youre going to come in and talk to the bartender, your conversation is open season for the rest of the bar.

People all the time will come in and think theyre your friend, but in reality theyre just a customer. You might think Im your big buddy, but its my job to make you feel welcome, and at the end of the day I go home to my apartment. But still, over the years Ive met some great friends working herepeople I hope to know for the rest of my life. The Poet is a unique bar, and in this setting we have a lot of regulars, and there have been plenty of people who start off as customers, but end up as friends. It just takes time.

EVObO`Sa][SPO`PSVOdW]`R]aO\RR]\ba-

Id say common sense. That will really help you get far with a bartender. Politeness. Say hello, dont wave money, dont whistle. If its busy dont call me over if you dont know what you want. And ultimately, just dont piss off the bartender. In this world we have a lot of power, we can make your night great or terrible.

to solve all the problems before they happen, Steve says.

The aroma of alyssum perfumes the early afternoon sun. Cover cropping began several years before the vines even went in. First the stakes, seven feet apart. Little to no irrigation. We want to push the roots, so we try not to give them too much water. The planting took a dozen people three or four days, the winemakers recall. When the shoots are draped horizontally along the cordons, they will lay the foundation for decades of wines, Steve says with obvious satisfaction.

I ask about alignment of the rows. We went against the north/south thinking, they tell me. Looking to maximize heat in the morning and shade protection in the afternoon, Steve says he ended up turning the vines southwest/northeast. Since growing grapes is, after all, agriculture, all the variables involved in farmingwind currents, frost and crucial water

is organic, and the house, timers, drip-irrigation system, computers, you name it, are all solar-powered.

Consulting with environmental groups like Wild Farm Alliance, the Storrses labored to preserve not only the incredible beauty of the landscape but to enhance the soil fertility, habitats and wildlife corridors to attract and protect native species.

My theory is to get the grapes to grow well, Steve tells me as we stroll the perimeter of the young vines, only a fraction of what will one day be a much larger vineyard. Im working to get balance in the soil.

To that end the couple has consulted with colleagues at Davis, pulled out (reluctantly) many of the ancient Newtown pippins, added calcium, compost, gypsum. Along the curved rows of young vines, graded by laser tractor, stand high polesperches for hawks and owls that control gopher and rodent populations. We were trying

/@73A(March 21April 19): There was a time when wetlands were considered dismal and unproductive. At best they were thought to be a waste of space, and at worst stinky breeding grounds for insect pests. For over 200 years, many marshes, bogs and swamps were filled with dirt and transformed into places suitable for farms, houses and recreational areas. But all that has changed in the last 30 years. Science has rehabilitated the reputation of wetlands, showing how crucial they are. They clean toxins from water, help control f loods and soil erosion, and are home to more biological diversity than any other ecosystem. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to make a comparable conversion, Aries. Something you once demeaned or underestimated could become an inspirational catalyst.

B/C@CA(April 20May 20): In the coming week, you will have the potential to articulate what has never been spoken before and to name truths that everyone has been avoiding. Uncoincidentally, you may also be able to hear what youve never been able to hear up until now and tune in to truths youve been oblivious to. As you might imagine, Taurus, you must fully activate both of these capacities in order for either to function at its best.

53;7@71=@7A13A(Feb. 19March 20): The planets are aligned in such a way that suggests you may be able to experience an orgasm solely by meditating. This rare cosmic alignment also means that its conceivable you could generate money or attract new resources by following your holy bliss, or that you might stumble upon the tricky treasure youve been looking for in all the wrong places. But I cant say for sure that you will actually be able to capitalize on any of these remarkable opportunities. It will depend on whether you can more fully express one of the skills that is your birthright as a Pisces: being wild and disciplined at the same time.
