GETTING OUT

Wildlife hums here have done at Pathways for Wildlife


that Coyote Valley hums with wild-
life. Many coyotes and bobcats call
the valley home, and for the occa-
sional mountain lion, it is a path-
way between the Diablo Range and
the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The experts say they are there.
I have heard them. Now, I want to
see them.
I rise early, and I know that is
when critters are active. So I have
begun a regimen of early morn-
ing runs. Before sunrise, but when
dawn is warming the eastern sky,
I strap on my shoes, grab the gate
key and head out.
The magic of predawn morn-
ings in the fields between Coyote
Ridge and Coyote Creek almost
made me forget why I came. Few
things equal the beauty of day-
break. My first morning out, a thin
cotton candy layer of tule fog lay
low and soft over the open field
without hiding the color of warmly
lit clouds above. No wildlife that
morning, but what a show.
Since that first morning, I have
seen wildlife as frequently as Steph
Curry hits threes. I am surprised
when I don't see at least one coyote.
I regularly see two or three pass by,
more prancing than walking; wary,
but indifferent to my presence.

THEATER PREVIEW

Alexandra accepts changes


JoAnna Evans. “‘Read this and get
back to me with what you think.’”
Farotte was quick in her
acceptance.
“I read it and I said I want to do
this. She is a wonderful role; it is a
beautiful script,” said Farotte. “I love
the changes she goes through. I like
something that has some depth to
the story and depth to the character.”
Heath, who played opposite
Farotte in “The Outgoing Tide” in the
2017 season, said, “I really like shows
that have women of a certain age and
women with a strong character.”
“The Velocity of Autumn” has “a
similar theme in some ways, com-
pletely different in others,” he said.
“Once I got through the script, I
realized that when Chris comes in,
his character is pretty messed up. By
all means, he is not qualified to save
the day. He cannot save himself.”
Heath’s first impression of Alex-
andra was, “Wow, she’s a horrible
mother. But she’s not at all a hor-
rible mother. Emotionally, there’s a
lot of good stuff to play there.”
While Farotte is more than a
decade shy of Alexandra’s age, she’s
experienced the age-related losses in
her mother and mother-in-law’s lives.
Alexandra starts off as very strong,
