Week of February 18 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Lately your life reminds me of the action film *Speed,* starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. In that story, a criminal has rigged a passenger bus to explode if its speed drops below 50 miles per hour. In your story, you seem to be acting as if you, too, will self-destruct if you stop moving at a frantic pace. I'm here to tell you that nothing bad will happen if you slow down. Just the opposite, in fact. As you clear your schedule of its excessive things-to-do, as you leisurely explore the wonders of doing nothing in particular, I bet you will experience a soothing flood of healing pleasure.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 One of the most dazzling moves a ballet dancer can do is the *fouetté en tournant.* The term is French for "whipped turning." As she executes a 360-degree turn, the dancer spins around on the tip of one foot. Meanwhile, her other foot thrusts outward and then bends in, bringing her toes to touch the knee of her supporting leg. Can you imagine a dancer doing this 32 consecutive times? That's what the best do. It takes extensive practice and requires a high degree of concentration and discipline. Paradoxically, it expresses breathtaking freedom and exuberance. You may not be a prima ballerina, Taurus, but in your own field there must be an equivalent to the *fouetté en tournant.* Now is an excellent time for you to take a vow and make plans to master that skill. What will you need to do?

If you're a martial artist and you want to inject extra energy into an aggressive move, you might utter a percussive shout that sounds like "eee-yah!" or "hyaah!" or "aiyah!" The Japanese term for this sound is *kiai.* The sonic boost is most effective if it originates deep in your diaphragm rather than from your throat. Even if you're not a martial artist, Gemini, I suggest that in the coming weeks you have fun trying out this boisterous style of yelling. It may help you summon the extra power and confidence you'll need to successfully wrestle with all the interesting challenges ahead of you.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22 The prolific and popular French novelist Aurore Dupin was better known by her pseudonym George Sand. Few 19th-century women matched her rowdy behavior. She wore men's clothes, smoked cigars, was a staunch feminist, and frequented social venues where only men were normally allowed. Yet she was also a doting mother to her two children, and loved to garden, make jam, and do needlework. Among her numerous lovers were the writers Alfred de Musset, Jules Sandeau, and Prosper Mérimée, as well as composer Frederic Chopin and actress Marie Dorval. Her preferred work schedule was midnight to 6 a.m., and she often slept until 3 p.m. "What a brave man she was," said Russian author Ivan Turgenev, "and what a good woman." Her astrological sign? The same as you and me. She's feisty proof that not all of us Crabs are conventional fuddy-duddies. In the coming weeks, she's our inspirational role model.
LE0 Jul23–Aug22 It seems you've slipped into a time warp. Is that bad? I don't think so. Your adventures there may twist and tweak a warped part of your psyche in such a way that it gets healed. At the very least, I bet your visit to the time warp will reverse the effects of an old folly and correct a problem caused by your past sins. (By the way, when I use the word "sin," I mean "being lax about following your dreams.") There's only one potential problem that could come out of all this: Some people in your life could misinterpret what's happening. To prevent that, communicate crisply every step of the way.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In English and French versions of the word game Scrabble, the letter z is worth ten points. In Italian, it's eight points. But in the Polish variant of Scrabble, you score just one point by using z. That letter is rarely used in the other three languages, but is common in Polish.
Keep this general principle in mind as you assess the value of the things you have to offer. You will be able to make more headway and have greater impact in situations where your particular beauty and power and skills are in short supply.
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 "Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have to make them all your yourself." So said Alfred Sheinwold in his book about the card game known as bridge. I think this is excellent advice for the game of life, as well. And it should be extra pertinent for you in the coming weeks, because people in your vicinity will be making gaffes and wrong turns that are useful for you to study. In the future, you'll be wise to avoid perpetrating similar messes yourself.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 "Love her but leave her wild," advised a graffiti artist who published his thoughts on a wall next to the mirror in a public restroom I visited. Another guerrilla philosopher had added a comment below: "That's a nice sentiment, but how can anyone retain wildness in a society that puts so many demands on us in exchange for money to live?" Since I happened to have a felt-tip pen with me, I scrawled a response to the question posed in the second comment: "Be in nature every day. Move your body a lot. Remember and work with your dreams. Be playful. Have good sex. Infuse any little thing you do with a creative twist. Hang out with animals. Eat with your fingers. Sing regularly." And that's also my message for you, Scorpio, during this phase when it's so crucial for you to nurture your wildness.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 "Don't worry, even if things get heavy, we'll all float on." So sings Modest Mouse's vocalist Isaac Brock on the band's song "Float On." I recommend you try that approach yourself, Sagittarius. Things will no doubt get heavy in the coming days. But if you float on, the heaviness will be a good, rich, soulful heaviness. It'll be a purifying heaviness that purges any glib or shallow influences that are in your vicinity. It'll be a healing heaviness that gives you just the kind of graceful gravitas you will need.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 "What I look for in a friend is someone who's different from me," says science fiction novelist Samuel Delany. "The more different the person is, the more I'll learn from him. The more he'll come up with surprising takes on ideas and things and situations." What about you, Capricorn? What are the qualities in a friend that help you thrive? Now is a perfect time to take an inventory. I sense that although there are potential new allies wandering in your vicinity, they will actually become part of your life only if you adjust and update your attitudes about the influences you value most.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 At the turn of the 19th century, Russian laborers constructed thousands of miles of railroad tracks from the western part of the country eastward to Siberia. The hardest part of the job was blasting tunnels through the mountains that were in the way. I reckon you're at a comparable point in your work, Aquarius. It's time to smash gaping holes through obstacles. Don't scrimp or apologize. Clear the way for the future.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The British rock band the Animals released their gritty, growly song "The House of the Rising Sun" in 1964. It reached the top of the pop music charts in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Australia, and was a hit with critics. *Rolling Stone* magazine ultimately ranked it as the 122nd greatest song of all time. And yet it took the Animals just 15 minutes to record. They did it in one take. That's the kind of beginner's luck and spontaneous flow I foresee you having in the coming weeks, Pisces. What's the best way for you to channel all that soulful mojo?

RE: BEARCAT Oh yeah, way to buy into the terrorist hysteria, Mr. Farr. I'm sure Santa Cruz is right up there on the ISIS list of places to hit first. (Rolling eyes.) And Lockheed Martin—do you really believe terrorists would go all the way into the mountains above Boulder Creek to hit a very small, non-strategic defense contractor facility? (They do ordinance testing up there, the little explosive charges that separate the rocket/missile stages). They'd be halfway back to the Middle East by the time that
How about cops on bikes? I think for every armored vehicle, there should be 20 cops on bikes. I've seen SC police roll right by nefarious activity on Pacific Avenue, and another instance on Laurel Street (right by the police station!), without stopping, most likely because they are in their giant, tinted-windowed, unburstable bubbles (SUV style patrol units) and are missing the sights and sounds of actually being on the streets, observing what's going on around them. Armored vehicles? Please. Cops on bikes, please! — A ANDREA

NEWS MEASURED HOPE Lompico Water District’s fate to be determined by bond vote
FEBRUARY 18-24, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY ARIC SLEEPER
10
After decades of mismanagement, the Lompico Water District is faced with thousands of dollars in debt, a leaderless board of directors, and an aging infrastructure that is in desperate need of care. Without the maintenance that the pipes and tanks have needed over the years, the equipment hasn’t aged gracefully, and has fallen so far into disrepair that many of the district’s day-to-day operations have to be conducted manually. “Some of the things are a little scary,” says Pete Norton, chair of the Lompico Water District Citizen Advisory Committee. “When they took us on a tour, I thought it was amazing what they have to do to run this district. They have a crew running up and down a hill multiple times a day to turn pumps on and off manually. They have people going up to the top of certain tanks and pouring liquid chlorine into the hatch. Things like that that are just funky.” To bring the district back to good standing and make all necessary repairs to bring the water district’s equipment up to state requirements, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors created a special allmail ballot election to vote on a $3.2 million bond measure, Measure N. The last day to vote is Tuesday, Feb. 24. If the 30-year bond is approved by twothirds of Lompico residents, their water district can start taking steps toward merging with the San Lorenzo Valley Water District. Lompico’s neighbor would then provide the administrative leadership that the small district has lacked for years. “Lompico has been operating without a general manager for some time now, and that’s not the way it’s supposed to be done in any water district or any special district,” says 5th District Santa Cruz County Supervisor Bruce McPherson, whose district includes both San Lorenzo and Lompico. “I think what’s on the ballot is in the best interest of Lompico for sure, and it will be fine for San Lorenzo as well.” Opponents of Measure N, like Sherwin Gott, think the water district could get a better deal.

The Sentinel in flux with cuts, staff departures and its parent company up for sale BY JACOB PIERCE
S
teve Kettmann, a former staff writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, thinks he knows a good newspaper when he sees it. So, when he wrote a story last month for The Huffington Post calling the Santa Cruz Sentinel a “smallish paper doing one hell of a job of working to be a vital part of its community,” he meant it. Kettman knows that people are often pessimistic—he says unfairly so—about the paper’s dwindling size and coverage. Underscoring the Sentinel’s rapidly shifting fortunes, however, is the departure of two
writers who Kettmann highlighted in his story. J.M. Brown, the paper’s city reporter with more than seven years of experience reporting in Santa Cruz, left this month. Jason Hoppin has stayed within the company, but moved to the Monterey Herald last fall, though his stories still appear in the Sentinel occasionally. The paper, which is now owned by New York-based hedge fund Alden Global Capital and operates out of a Scotts Valley office, is down to six news staff writers, from a high of 11 when former editor Tom Honig was in charge of the news desk a decade ago. Former Sentinel reporter Shanna
McCord, who was at the paper for 10 years before leaving for a communications job at GraniteRock in 2014, says there was a sense of gloom and a feeling of “insecurity” that hung over the news room. Founded in 1856, the Sentinel has been through a succession of owners in the last decade, with Dow Jones’ Ottoway Community Newspapers (which bought the paper from the McPherson family in 1982) selling it to Community Newspaper Holdings in 2006. The Alabama firm flipped it to William Dean Singleton’s MediaNews in 2007. MediaNews’ parent company >12

declared bankruptcy in 2010, paving the way for the formation of Digital First Media, an Alden-controlled management company that operates the Sentinel, Monterey Herald, Mercury News, Oakland Tribune and more than 70 other daily newspapers across the country. MediaNews and Digital First cut hours, slashed freelance budgets and furloughed staff. Sentinel editor Don Miller recently began serving as editor for the Herald, as well, amid increasing subscription rates and declining revenues. This past month, the Sentinel, which won 21 awards from the California Newspaper Publishers Association last year, also cut back on its Thursday arts coverage by eliminating its weekly entertainment tabloid. Columns by artist Kirby Scudder and longtime journalist Christa Martin were cut. Ken Doctor, an Aptos-based media analyst who covers newsrooms across the country for his blog Newsonomics, says that the Sentinel is still an “above-average local daily newspaper,” but that staff changes will pose challenges. Doctor expects the paper to miss Brown’s reporting on water issues, which was often “dot-connecting,”

When Five Branches University opened in 1984, traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was a mysterious practice to Western cultures. TCM disciplines like acupuncture had actually been illegal to practice in the United States until the late 1970s, when Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation to legalize the modality, which had been used in Asia for millennia. “Thirty years ago it was voodoo,” says Five Branches University President and cofounder Ron Zaidman. To celebrate their 30th
providing the proper context within stories. Many Sentinel news stories, he says, miss out on explaining how and why things happen. Others are just plain hard to follow—something he attributes to so many editors being let go. Doctor says he often finishes a local news story and finds himself telling his wife “I read that—I don’t know what happened.” Retired Sentinel assistant editor John McNicholas has noticed the same issues, and also attributes it to less editing. Another change is increasing reliance on content from other newspapers and the Associated Press. “Any Sentinel reader has noticed the change in the last year from all over the state. Monterey isn’t local news,” says McNicholas. “ San Jose isn’t local news. Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Scotts Valley, the San Lorenzo Valley—that’s local news.” Over the past couple years, Digital First Media has effectively cut all of the Sentinel and Herald’s local copy editors and moved layout to Chico. Both dailies’ ad production is now done in India.
IMPENDING SALE Also looming large is the question of what will happen now that
anniversary and the Chinese New Year, Five Branches will hold a gala dinner and health fair over the weekend of Feb. 21. Individuals with health concerns or just a curiosity for Eastern medicine are welcomed to the school for consultations and talks about the many ways that TCM can benefit them. TCM works on the basic idea of balancing opposing forces in the body, most notably heat and cold, and freeing up stagnant “Qi,” or the life force energy that practitioners believe flows through 12 channels in the body, says Joanna Zhao, Five Branches
Digital First Media is for sale. “There’s reason to be worried about the future of the paper,” says Kettman, also co-director of Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, which develops young writers. “When I wrote that post, I wasn’t aware of how grim it looks, the potential for the paper to be sold and further cuts to their staff. I would love to see some people who made some money in Silicon Valley come together and make an offer.” Neither Miller nor Gary Omernick, publisher for the Sentinel and Herald, would comment for this story. Miller says a longstanding Sentinel policy prevents him from doing so, though according to Honig that wasn’t that case when he worked there. Doctor has reported that one or two private equity firms are looking to buy Digital First from its current owner, which has held it for four years. A new private equity owner, Doctor says, would typically sell after three to five more years. Private equity owners often seek out troubled businesses, buy them on the cheap and extract value by selling assets such as real estate. Often, these investments result in turnaround successes. Others become quagmires or go bankrupt. >16
University dean and cofounder. “Qi is the vital energy, and you have to balance it,” says Zhao. “When someone has a blockage, it can lead to inflammation and pain, and acupuncture can get rid of the blockage, reduce inflammation, and people get better.” Five Branches University has seen over 10,000 patients, and graduated hundreds of practitioners into the world, too. The school prides itself on providing the highest quality of education in the ancient art of TCM. Students of Five Branches University hail from all over the
world, and some graduates of the doctoral program have found a place in cancer centers at Kaiser Permanente hospitals and elsewhere. In addition to helping abate the symptoms of ailments ranging from asthma to headaches, TCM has become a vital complement to chemotherapy treatment. In the next 30 years, Zhao and Zaidman hope that Western and Eastern medicines become even more closely intertwined. “If we can work together and learn from each other, we can all serve patients in the best way,” Zaidman says.

UP A CREEK Lompico resident Pete Norton says he and his neighbors will be without a paddle if they don’t pass an important bond measure. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

MEASURED HOPE<10

Gott states that the district only needs about $1.5 million, and not the $3.2 million stated in the bond. “I don’t think it is right to charge the community of Lompico more than what it costs to do the work,” says Gott, a former Lompico water board member who lost a re-election bid last November. “And as a member of the community who has to physically pay the cost, I only want to pay what it actually costs.” Gott called equipment vendors in the region to come up with his estimates, but he did not include the expense of continued maintenance or contingency costs like permitting, engineering, and administrative expenses associated with building. Norton says that no project goes through without extensive planning and permitting beforehand—especially in Santa Cruz County. “Everything goes over budget,” he says. Gott says he is not opposed to a merger with the San Lorenzo Valley, but believes
that the use of state grants would allow the Lompico Water District to repair its equipment without the passage of Measure N. “Consolidation may not be a bad thing, but at this price, it doesn’t seem right,” says Gott. State funding is available for water districts in need, and funding was, in fact, gained for the emergency intertie over the summer. That pipeline connected the Lompico Water District with the San Lorenzo Valley Water District when Lompico’s water supply waned due to the lack of rain. Other grant funding has been applied for—specifically for consolidation with San Lorenzo Valley—but the attempts were unsuccessful. Lompico could potentially acquire more state grants for repairs and consolidation, but the process is highly competitive, and can take years. Because Lompico’s water system is currently in poor condition, the California Department of Public Health is requiring that the infrastructure be repaired
for safety reasons—if not by the end of the 2015, in the next few years. If the merger and bond go through, the changes will put an end to one of the more dramatic special districts in Santa Cruz County. For years, the Lompico Water District’s board meetings were often filled with snide remarks and intense arguments—with sheriff’s deputies sometimes called in to restore order. The small mountain water district also served as the focus of two grand jury reports in 2010 and 2012. The report in 2010 recommended that the merger between San Lorenzo Valley and Lompico occur as soon as possible. If Measure N is not approved by Lompico residents, the district’s board of directors has a five-year budget drawn up to try to make all of the necessary repairs as well as hire a manager, but it means raising the district’s rates by about $100 each billing cycle, which would also have to go to a vote. “The district is required to bring in enough money to meet its needs, so
we would have to raise our rates,” says Lompico Water District board member Merrie Schaller. “If the people protested it, the state could say we abandoned the district, take us to court, and we would end up in receivership. Then, the state would decide what we’d have to pay, and we’d have nothing to say about it.” If the bond measure does pass, the Lompico Water District board of directors would immediately begin making repairs and preparing for the merger with the San Lorenzo Valley Water District, which charges a lower water rate than Lompico. For the first five years, Lompico residents will be subject to an additional surcharge, but Schaller points out that even with the diminishing surcharge, the bills under the San Lorenzo Valley Water District would be cheaper than if the bond is not approved. “[If the bond passes] I think people will realize that the sky isn’t going to fall and we’ll just write our checks to San Lorenzo Valley Water District, and they’ll be smaller checks,” says Schaller.

“The thing that’s interesting when you look at the economics of this is it isn’t a company that just needs to be turned around. This is an industry that needs to be turned around,” Doctor says. “And they’ve had a private equity controller for four years now, which has slashed costs. That’s what private equity does. They’ve already done that. So to believe you could come in and in five or six more years, cut enough more costs in a time of declining print revenue, sell at a profit and get out in three-to-five years is a bit mystifying. But that’s normally how they do.” Another option would be for the current owner, Alden Global Capital, to sell Digital First in clusters to buyers across the country—Los Angeles, Colorado, the Northeast. That could spell opportunity for a local owner if one were interested in purchasing the Sentinel and a few other Bay Area papers. Doctor reported that Geoffrey Dunn, contributing editor to GT, has formed an acquisition group to make an offer. Dunn, who wouldn’t comment on the report, is a fourth-generation Santa Cruzan who unsuccessfully bid to buy the Sentinel when Dow Jones’ newspaper group sold it in 2006. If a company wanted to revamp a newspaper and make it last, Doctor thinks there’s a path to do that. It ideally would invest in the newspaper product and a digital platform over the next three to five years. Local or not, the paper finds a way to get the news out everyday, at least for now. Reporter Jessica York, who’s been with the Sentinel since April, is taking over Brown’s city news coverage. McNicholas says Calvin Men, who covers Scotts Valley and cops and courts, shows promise, and he calls arts columnist Wallace Baine “a genius.” Still, when it comes to newspapers there’s a question about coverage that remains: As news reporting slowly dwindles, do we know what we’re missing out on? “It’s interesting, because it’s a vacuum, but nobody can put their finger on it,” Doctor says. “When you see diminished coverage, you can’t quite say what you missed if it’s not written.”

you’re alluding to a much more vibrant conversation. I think the closest thing that we had at the time—we had legitimate journalism, but we also had talk radio. Talk radio was pretty animated about the hearings, so there is some evidence of what it might have been like if social media had been available. Talk radio to me is sort of the precursor to a lot of what you have today on the Internet, in terms of blogs and commentary. If you go back and look at what was being said, I think you’ll find some of the same kinds of things were being uttered. The language has changed, culturally we’ve changed in terms of what we will say. Let me give you an example that’s not about me, but about what happened recently with the Obama daughters
[a Republican Congressional aide made national news last year for criticizing them on social media, and quickly resigned]. It was a Facebook post. That’s the kind of thing that might have been said in talk radio before. The people responding would probably have been a very limited audience, maybe the people who were listening right at that moment. But now, put that kind of commentary in today’s outlets, and you’re going to have it on Facebook, then you get it on the news, then the commentary shows on a whole range of news stations. The megaphone is much bigger and broader, and it sends it out and disperses it in ways that didn’t happen in 1991. Also, your supporters would have had access to that

I think it’s wonderful for us to start to tell those stories. It does seem that we’re now digging deeper. When we go back to some of the issues that came out of 1991, with sexual harassment and some of the issues we’re dealing with today with sexual assault, it really is social media that helps people to understand what impact those encounters have on people. We have video of people being harassed on the street, and we have the hashtag #yesallwomen talking about their day-to-day experiences dealing with the problems of sexual assault and the presumptions that men make about women, and women’s availability. We’re just at a different level of understanding now. And that’s great. But it really in many ways happened in 1991, because people started to talk about their experiences in ways they never had before. Have journalists gotten better at reporting on these issues?
I think journalism has played a very important role in the evolution of our understanding of these issues. I think the initial reporting on the hearings missed the entire point that most people were trying to make. Because the initial reporting was wedded to this story of a “Washington scandal.� Therefore, the reporters looked around for the usual suspects, if you will, who were the interest groups that might have been out there, how might they have been influencing the process? Then they started looking at me as either a pawn of those groups, or someone who had my own vendetta against Clarence Thomas. And that’s how they reported, that’s the bubble that the media was in. It was the Washington press corps, and that’s what they operated under. Then a few weeks or months later, there was a story on the cover of People
magazine about a prominent surgeon at Stanford who talked about her experience of sexual harassment in the operating room—having people propositioning her and fondling her while she was doing surgery. And there were other stories [of sexual harassment] in that issue as well. Then there was a piece in a San Diego newspaper by two female reporters who, again, took it out of the frame of Washington D.C., and started talking about it as a workplace issue. Which in fact it was. Then the story started evolving, and people started sharing their own experiences, and you really had a sense then of what the impact of these kinds of behaviors were— psychologically, economically, socially, culturally. I think that’s when and where the movement began. It took off in a very different direction than the Senate would have had us go. It wasn’t just the first national conversation about sexual harassment. It was, as far as I know, the first national conversation examining how men talk to women, in which the inappropriate things that men say in private were put out in a public realm to be examined. People were dissecting everything you said, and that Clarence Thomas had said. And many people didn’t appear to be ready to talk about that as a human experience, rather than a political one.
Well, that’s part of what happened. But part of that was deliberate. Part of the way the hearing got framed was a deliberate effort on the part of Senator Simpson and Senator [Arlen] Specter not to get to that human experience. Because to them, it was really all about the politics. So they wanted to make sure that as the hearings went forward, it was shaped in that way. If you just think about Senator Simpson’s comments—first of all, he makes this distinction between “real harassment� and what I experienced. Whatever that means.

Then he turns the whole idea of sexual harassment into, as he calls it, “this sexual harassment crap.” Because, he says, what we really ought to be talking about is politics, and how Washington functions, rather than the human experience. So the fact that we couldn’t get there was because we didn’t have any leadership in Washington who had a vested interest in getting us to the human experience. That’s incredible that there was no pushback against that at the time. Today a senator absolutely could not say “this sexual harassment crap.” There would be consequences. For instance, the example you brought up about the aide who made the Facebook comments about Obama’s daughters. That aide was forced to resign.
But where was the leadership response to the aide? The public is leading this conversation. I think it’s an interesting exercise in democracy that we’re experiencing. Think about what’s going on on college campuses. The movements are being driven by young women who are taking on this issue. In most cases, certainly not by the university leadership. A moment in the documentary that I had forgotten about—even
though it wasn’t that long ago, and it made the national news at the time—was the 2010 phone call from Clarence Thomas’ wife, in which she asks you to apologize. It’s a great opening to the film, because it’s so shocking, and it shows how two decades later, your testimony still haunts our consciousness, not just at a political level, but also a personal one. Getting that call must have been bizarre in so many ways.
I did think at the time that it was a prank call. Just because I couldn’t believe that that would be happening. Even though Mrs. Thomas had at one point said in an interview that I owed her an apology, I still wasn’t ready to believe that she would call and demand one. So it was shocking, but I also think if you listen to the language of the message, it asks for an explanation. And I think what the film proceeded to do was attempt to give an explanation of what happened, and why. It’s fascinating to compare your demeanor in the film’s archival footage of your testimony, in which you maintain an intense calm at all times no matter how outrageous the senators’ questions get, with the recent

Well, of course you’re testifying in front of all those cameras, at a very different point in your life. I think it’s just impossible to compare that situation to any of the other footage you would see in the film. I’m sure there were times back in 1991 when I was just as relaxed, but that situation wasn’t one of them. What was it like for you to watch the film?

It was very intense. It was painful. The most emotional moment for me was when my family comes into the hearing room. But it was also painful watching other people go through it, as well—not just to see me in front of the committee, but to see the people who were trying to persuade the Senate to reopen the hearings, and to hear my testimony. Then to see the reactions that she showed of women to some of the comments made by the senators. It came out and hit women in ways they hadn’t expected, even in 1991. There’s a lot to be learned from just the reactions of people in the film. The intensity with which everybody she captured felt those hearings. I think if you videotaped any of those individuals now, you’d probably see the same kind of differences between how they felt then, and how they feel now. I guess the difference for me is they were outside the hearings, and they got to show their emotions. In the film, you can see their very intense reactions, like you said. But here you were in the most crazy, chaotic time in your life—
I hope so. I hope I don’t have to experience something crazier.
And you had to deal with people thinking “Well, if she’s a legitimate witness, she’ll hold it together.” You didn’t get to have emotions.
Well, what you have to realize is that there were people who said I wasn’t legitimate because I held it together. They were ready to interpret any kind of reaction that I had, whether it was holding it together or losing it, or being angry, or being sad. Everything was subject to interpretation—and for those who were the detractors, to be used against me. So I don’t think that anyone said, “you must perform in a certain way.” The best that I could do was just sort of be who I was at that moment. In your work as a professor, legal analyst and media commentator, you can be called on to offer your view of any number of issues that intersect with those events two decades ago: Supreme Court rulings during Clarence Thomas’ tenure, gender issues in the workplace, etc. How much do you have to separate out and examine your personal feelings on such issues?
Well, I think my personal feelings of course are involved. But everyone’s are—it’s just that some people don’t know it. What you have to do is be honest about that. You have to be able to then use your skills and training to do an analysis. And you also have to inform yourself, you can’t simply rely on your gut reaction necessarily. You have to weigh things. And that comes from training, as a teacher as well as a lawyer. I can be more objective, or look at it in more of an academic way, but I always try to strike some balance. Because I think some of these issues that are so integrated into one’s personal experience, they’ll demand a certain kind of empathy to be truly appreciated. So, I sort of apologize for being personally involved, but then I keep going and doing what I do.

<28 women build homes.” The dancers construct their environment to emphasize their independent strength. Even with an all-female cast, Pearlman says she doesn’t focus solely on gender in her work. But, she concedes, in a “feminized industry” like dance there are always dynamics left to explore. “I wanted the dancers to be the hero of their own narrative, I wanted it to be about them,” Pearlman says. “One of the ways to do that was for them to do all the labor themselves, then they’re not operating in a world that somebody else created for them. The piece is about the power and the agency you get from making things.” The movement itself, she says, combines “big, physical risk-taking” with smaller, intimate gestures as an amalgam—“part dance, part performance art, part museum installation.” Pearlman’s show opens with “Drowning Poems,” which she choreographed in 2011 based on poems by Kelly Powers, Emily Dickinson, and Stevie Smith. The piece works through themes of depression and what Pearlman calls “complications of deciding whether to stay in the world or not.” But, Pearlman is adamant, the overall show is fun and has its lighthearted points. After all, it was made with the audience in mind. “This is a piece that has a lot of doors into it. My work isn’t necessarily work that’s for only a dance audience,” she says. “It being accessible is also really important to me.” Info: 8 p.m., Feb. 20-22, Motion Pacific, 131 Front St., Suite E, Santa Cruz. $18-$25.

that story still mostly exists in your mind,” Pearlman says. “What you got from the dance, what it made you think of, there’s so much that goes into this thing—months of rehearsing and sweat and creativity, inspiration and heartache—saying that it’s ephemeral discounts the labor that goes into it.” Many audience members might discount the value of performance precisely because they aren’t able to hold the finished product, to mount it on their wall or put a price on its consumption, says Pearlman, who currently works with the Museum of Art & History’s Subjects to Change Teen Program, and recently concluded a residency position at Motion Pacific dance studio. “There’s an economist named William Baumol who says that because of technological speedup, certain things—consumer goods, cars, computers, and watches, even food—seem relatively inexpensive because the time of production has become less,” says Pearlman. “Other things like performance or healthcare or education therefore seem quite expensive because they take time and can’t be sped up through mechanization—it takes as long to make a dance as it always did.” But this isn’t the dance of pretty little ballerinas prancing about, being lifted up every so often by a male counterpart: it’s hard work. “When women build something, you might have this idea that we would build a house and then we would decorate it with curtains—and then we would have tea,” she says. “This piece isn’t that; we’re not leading to a narrative of heteronormativity where

UCSC Theater Group Channels Black Eagles Airmen BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON
H
alfway through the UCSC African American Theater Arts Troupe’s (AATAT) Thursday evening rehearsal, director Donald Williams steps onto the stage to address his students, and it takes me several minutes to realize this isn’t part of a scene in this year’s production “Black Eagles.” The seven actors are maintaining the Tuskegee airmen military stance not for a scripted interaction with a commander, but to listen to what Williams has to say. Williams often elicits that response. He talks with his whole body— practically dancing at moments—and with a coffee in one hand and the other gesturing emphatically, he reminds the students that after 23 years of heading the troupe, his goal is still the same: educate and inspire. “I believe in lifting people higher than yourself,” Williams says, before the students vote on which of them will receive a $5,000 scholarship. Williams had mentioned the scholarship on the phone earlier that day in a manner verging on nonchalance, although he’s proud of the group. Leslie Lee wrote “Black Eagles” about the all-black WWII fighter squadron who were mainly bomber plane escorts
(all the danger, none of the action) in 1992, but Williams picked it up fairly recently after a friend highlighted some forgotten local history; Seaside was once predominantly AfricanAmerican because of the Fort Ord military base, and the Santa Cruz lighthouse was protected by an allblack regiment throughout WWII. Many real-life Tuskegee airmen returned home to blatant racism, after bleeding for the stars and stripes, because 20 years before the Civil Rights Movement that was the American reality. During Thursday’s rehearsal, one of the actors raises his hand to ask if David Cunningham, the son of a Tuskegee airman who’s in the audience with his wife would show them the position of a flyer in a jet. I get the sense that this is what Williams’s goal looks like in real time—students captivated by a messenger of history. “In order to have a true understanding of our future, we have to have a perspective of the past,” says Williams.

A
dventurous and prolific, quilter Ann Baldwin May has never met a piece of fabric that didn’t excite her eye. The West Side resident first tried her hand at quilting in 2008. Several one-woman shows, many awards and 300 quilts later, May is still on a roll. Anyone who has ever experienced the tactile pleasure of piecing together and sewing fabric for a quilt knows the seduction of this craft. Working in eclectic genres, from abstract to folkloric, May designs her art quilts by sourcing remnants from fabric stores and recycling outlets and then begins to decide what works with what.
“I started out doing traditional squares, but quickly realized I wanted to do something more artistic,” says May of a recently quilted wall hanging in which green rectangles play against sunnyhued circular shapes. “I added circles, coordinated the colors, and then had fun with thread painting embellishment,” she says. “It’s all experimentation. I just start with color and then add textures.” The results are distinctive and playful. In her most recent pieces May has moved fearlessly into abstraction. “It’s all machine quilted,” she says, turning over the pieces so I can observe the free-form shapes made by the stitching. May likes to pick up
“repurposed materials from FabMo in Mountain View.” Are these wall hangings or are they quilts?, I ask of the roughly 3 by 3 1/2-foot artworks. “Technically they’re quilts,” she explains. “Because they involve three layers plus stitching.” Yet they resemble abstract paintings. May likes to begin her quilts by assembling the bottom, inner batting, and cover layer, and then arranging the design pieces until she likes the way they look. “Then I lay a piece of Tulle netting over the entire piece, which holds everything together. I pin the layers and then do free motion quilting.” That free motion thing is what makes her work distinctive.
The Pajaro Valley Quilt Association show is from 10-5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21 and 10-4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22 at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. Info at pvqa.org.

Ann Baldwin May’s quilts are like abstract paintings BY CHRISTINA WATERS
The results are visually exciting, the free stitching creating undulating curves and wavy arpeggios against the set patterns of the fabric. May’s Husqvarna computerized sewing machine lives in a cozy workroom off of her kitchen. “It magically adjusts to the thickness of the fabric.” Does she quilt all the time? I wonder. “If my husband’s out of town,” she says with a grin. Admitting to having no formal art training, the Palo Alto native got a master’s in teaching Spanish at UC Irvine before moving to Santa Cruz. Recent retirement from her 30-year bilingual teaching career in Watsonville, triggered May’s productivity. Wondering how she would stay busy, she decided to get serious about her quilts. “I really get inspired by international fabrics,” she confesses, showing me some colorful wall hangings richly appliqued with Mexican beads, jewelry, braid, and antique rebozo insets. In addition to her “underwater fantasy style” and sculptural Mexican-themed pieces, May is intent on perfecting her abstract designs. “I want to create a recognizable style,” she reveals. “To me this is just so much fun, but I am challenging myself.” She’s challenged her way into a onewoman show at next October’s Pacific International Quilt Festival in the Santa Clara Convention Center. Giving me a tour of some of her styles, May notes that “people seem drawn to all my styles. That gives me confidence.” She also confesses, pointing to quite a few examples, “I’m into lizards.” May will show her work at the Pajaro Valley Quilt Association annual show on Feb. 21-22. “The guild is a great place to meet other quilters. They have over 300 members in this county and all levels of quilters are welcome.” Is it all quilting all the time? “I did take a break at Christmastime.”

WHAT YOU TALKIN’ BOT Kawehi brings the next chapter of her robot concept records to the Catalyst on Monday, Feb. 23.

Robot Love

Kawehi’s obsession with automation bleeds from her sound into her lyrical concepts BY AARON CARNES
K
awehi’s fascination with robots makes sense. In fact, the Hawaiian singer-songwriter’s artistic method must feel a bit like collaborating with a robot. It’s all right there on the viral video she uploaded last year to YouTube, a cover of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box.” She builds a slow eerie rendition of the song live using keys, programming pads and a looping station. That’s hardly a new thing anymore. In 2015, musicians can train themselves to be tech
wizards, and this mad-scientist looping station set-up is becoming the new standard for solo artists. Some, like Reggie Watts, use it for comedic effect, others simply for convenience. But for Kaweki, it’s hard to imagine her operating any other way, as she seems fixated on the overlapping of artificial life and the human experience. Her music isn’t exactly hard to digest. She writes soulful, chilledout electro-pop music, with a voice that falls somewhere between Janet Jackson and Janelle Monae. It’s a little mind-boggling what
straightforward radio-friendly pop music she’s able to make using such odd techniques. Where it really gets weird is in the lyrical content. It may be her cover videos that bring in the heavy internet traffic (Nine Inch Nails, Michael Jackson, Gotye) but the Robot Heart EP she released last year is much more interesting. It’s a concept album about a robot that wants to be a real girl. While that might sound heavy-handed or even a little corny, Kawehi plays it straight and really allows herself to get inside the mind of a robot longing to be
human. (“You’ve got the condition I wish I had/Knowing what love is/I’ll never understand the how or why/ anything else could even matter”). She mixes guitars, keys, beatboxing, drum machines, toy instruments and of course lots of looping into a musical sound that’s both human and obviously heavily aided by technology. This blurring of the line is precisely the point. Robot Heart ends abruptly, and as we now know, it didn’t end at all, instead continuing in her recently released follow-up Evolution. Now the robot girl has become human, at least in terms of the record’s concept. Kawehi said on her Kickstarter page for the album that Evolution would have a more “organic” sound. I disagree. If anything, it’s more electronic, and feels more synthetic. Even the song titles suggest a more robotic feel. (“Corporate Disco Party,” “YouTube,” “Interwebz 2.0”). The new album is also darker, and has a more foreboding quality surrounding it. The robot character in Robot Heart is endearing, with songs that are joyous and hopeful. On Evolution, she’s gotten what she wants, but isn’t entirely satisfied. On the track “YouTube,” a robot voice, over a dark piano ballad, reads unsettling YouTube comments: (“I would totally fuck you and I’m not even into Asian chicks. That’s a compliment.” “Shut your mouth and stick to music.”) While I can only assume these are actual comments from YouTube directed to Kaweki, hearing them read by a female robot voice has the desired effect, or rather creates the not-so-pleasant shock of realizing what being a female human being might be to someone not used to it. The last song on the EP, Farewell, is a bittersweet ballad (“I’m ready for the last ride”). It’s unclear if she is singing about dying her human death, or if she’s finally shedding her mechanical skin for the complete human experience. However it’s intended, the song is incredibly sad, a release for subtly dark, ultracatchy EP. INFO: 8 p.m., Monday, Feb. 23, the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz. $15/Adv,

LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND
GRAMPA’S CHILI Grampa’s Chili is certainly an odd name for a band, and the members of said local psychedelic jam outfit have multiple explanations for it. The actual story behind it: The group, which started in the early ’90s, was originally known as Soup, but needed a new name because there was another band with the same name. A friend of theirs—whose nickname was “Grampa”—made some chili, and they thought, “that’s it!” Of course, that doesn’t really explain why the name is right for them.
FEBRUARY 18-24, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
“When you think about chili, it can be anything, it can be everything. There are all kinds of chilis. That’s kind of how we approach music,” says vocalist Mike Boston. “Anybody can bring any idea into the band and throw it in the chili pot. All ideas are good ideas— until they’re bad.”
40
The elements include hard rock, country, folk, psych, literally anything. The only real consistent thread is that the group stays a jam band, with the emphasis on shaping and molding the tunes into loose, laid back tunes for each show. “We love playing live. We love playing a three-hour show. We love the energy,” Boston says. “I wouldn’t go so far as to say that everything’s unwritten. Everything is written; it’s just not scripted.” Currently, they have upwards of 75 original songs ready to go at any upcoming show. “We try to make every show totally original, so that you can go to three shows in a row and see something different,” Boston says.

THREE WOMEN & THE TRUTH
The name Capsula is a reference to David Bowie’s classic “Space Oddity.” The trio is originally from Argentina, and their name is Spanish for Capsule. They’ve gone further down the Bowie rabbit hole by recording their own version of the entire Ziggy Stardust album. That being said, the group has more in common with Bowie’s peer Iggy Pop. Capsula brings heavy psychedelic garage-rock-tinged riffs à la the Stooges, and add a dash of early Stones and a little Soundgarden rage. They’ve been a band since 1998, but have jumped into America’s spotlight more so in the last five years, and even started working with American artists like Richard Hell, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and X.
FOLK/COUNTRY
Local aficionados of the singer-songwriter tradition count ourselves lucky that Mary Gauthier has Santa Cruz on her GPS. The skillful songsmith swings through town every year or two to share with us a new batch of songs and stories, then heads back into the world to collect more experiences to which she can apply her keen lyrical sense. This time around, Gauthier has her pals—and fellow award-winning singer-songwriters— Gretchen Peters and Eliza Gilkyson with her. Putting a playful twist on Harlan Howard’s famous quote that country music is “three chords and the truth,” these three women are a triad of songwriting depth, insight and delivery.

His trio’s most recent release, 2013’s Out Here, gracefully weaves together McBride’s love of swingin’ jazz, blues and American Songbook.

The iconic sextet has wowed fans around the world with their engaging blend of rock, Americana and Latin music— with everything from country, blues, and soul also making appearances. After almost two dozen albums and EPs to their credit, as well as their legendary cover of Richie Valens’ “La Bamba” which climbed to No. 1 in 1987, it’s safe to say they have had a full career.

INDIE-FOLK
RAINBOW GIRLS The five-piece, all-female Rainbow Girls add some truly unique elements to the current old-time folk and string revival. They have the jamboree flavor with their foot-stompin’ banjo/violin/ ukulele/tambourine/melodica-fueled tunes, but they also have elements of old-timey jazz, rock ’n’ roll, and Balkan dance music. It’s fun, joyous and life-affirming. The Girls released their debut album, Sound of Light, in 2013, and are currently working on their follow up LP, for which they raised $11K on indiegogo. They even recently played the first ever all-female lineup at the Fillmore, along with the She’s, the Hot Toddies and Kendra McKinley. AC
garners easy comparisons to Belle and Sebastian, and have been called “the orchestral love child of Brian Wilson and Laura Nyro.” Comprising Dave Strumfeld on vocals and guitar, and Sabina Beachdell on vocals and ukulele, the indie duo just dropped The Coast, an orchestral-folk gem full of lush textures and rich instrumentation.

MONOPHONICS
BAND OF LOVERS
Over the course of 10 years and four albums, Monophonics has established themselves as one of the West Coast’s most hard-charging bands. Recalling the glory days of funk and soul, their music has rightly been described as something you would find in a classic blaxploitation flick or something from the Tarantino catalog. Filled with unceasing energy and nasty grooves you can’t ignore, the San Francisco quintet is set to release Sound of Sinning on April 1. BP

FILM BEST ACTOR Eddie Redmayne, The Theory of Everything. I should be predicting Michael Keaton in Birdman, since, if my other predictions pan out, this would be the only major award that beloved film is poised to take. But Redmayne still has the buzz (and, significantly, the SAG award) for his precise and nuanced turn as Dr. Stephen Hawking, no matter how the Birdman/Boyhood smackdown plays out. He’d get my vote, over Benedict Cumberbatch (Imitation Game), Bradley Cooper (American Sniper), and the surprisingly serious Steve Carell (Foxcatcher). BEST ACTRESS Julianne Moore, Still Alice. This is the only sure thing in the big four categories. Moore has already won every other prize for her performance as a woman coping with early-onset Alzheimer’s. And with four previous nominations, it’s perceived as her turn to win. Reese Witherspoon (Wild), Felicity Jones (terrific in Theory of Everything), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), and Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night) finish out of the running.
SUPER POWERS Michael Keaton in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s ‘Birdman,’ which our film critic predicts will win Best Original Screenplay.
Oscar Games FEBRUARY 18-24, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
Predicting this year’s Academy Award winners BY LISA JENSEN
46
O
kay, it’s that time of year when I typically dazzle readers with my Sherlockian deductive powers and predict the upcoming Academy Award winners. But the cold, hard truth is that, by the time all the Hollywood craft guilds— directors (DGA), producers (PGA), writers (WGA), and screen actors (SAG)—have weighed in with their own pre-Oscar award ceremonies, not to mention the pre-game warmup show of the Golden Globes last month, it’s pretty easy to follow the trends and pick the front-runners. But not this year. I wouldn’t say all bets are off; there are clear favorites in three out of the four acting categories. But the battle for some of the top prizes is turning into an epic slugfest between two (or three) very tough and worthy competitors. Nobody gets a cakewalk this year, including
me; I really have to put my so-called deductive powers to the test. So here goes: BEST PICTURE Boyhood. A month ago, I would have said Boyhood was a slam-dunk for the gold. Director Richard Linklater’s completely original concept redefines the process of filmmaking and the art of storytelling in audacious new ways. But its biggest challenger, Birdman, has come on strong in the post-season awards. You can see why Hollywood loves Birdman—it’s all about showbiz and acting, the cult of celebrity and the cultural impact— for good or ill—of the movies. It’s put together with plenty of style, from the edgy, percussive score to the illusion that the entire film is shot in one long take. Its director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, has already been anointed with a DGA award, the film won for Best Ensemble at the SAGs,
and craft guild members also vote for the Oscars. Still, I’m voting my heart on this one. Yes, Birdman is wildly entertaining. But Boyhood offers a resonant glimpse into modern family life that will endure, in addition to its amazing contribution to the craft of making cinema. BEST DIRECTOR Richard Linklater, Boyhood. Even more than usual this year, these two categories are joined at the hip, as both Boyhood and Birdman represent such singular director’s visions. This will probably not be one of those years where Academy voters divide the Director and Picture prizes: if Boyhood wins, Linklater will win this one. If Birdman wins, so will Iñárritu. Most egregious omission in this category? Ava DuVernay, for her extraordinarily powerful and accomplished handling of Best Picture nominee Selma.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR J. K. Simmons, Whiplash. Like, Moore, he’s already won all the preliminary prizes. I’d vote for Edward Norton as the brilliant/deranged Broadway actor in Birdman, although I also thought Ethan Hawke was great in Boyhood. Foxcatcher didn't make enough of a splash for Mark Ruffalo to win, nor will the ever-beloved Robert Duvall score an upset for The Judge. BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Patricia Arquette, Boyhood. As a divorced mom raising two kids, Arquette brings plucky, real-lifesized humanity to this film, and has been recognized for it at all the early award shows. She’s my favorite, although I also really liked Emma Stone (Birdman) and Laura Dern (Wild), over Keira Knightley (Imitation Game) and perennial nominee Meryl Streep (Into the Woods).
(The 87th Annual Academy Awards airs at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 22, on ABC.)

Prince isn't much of an actor, but the kick of watching him perform his high-octane hits (and the haunting, "When Doves Cry") overrides the often spotty writing. Albert Magnoli directs.
(R) 111 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. Fri-Sat midnight only. At the Del Mar. CONTINUING EVENT: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited to join us Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM in downtown Santa Cruz, where each week we discuss a different current release. For our location and discussion topic, please visit our Google Groups webpage: https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM
NOW PLAYING AMERICAN SNIPER Bradley Cooper is excellent as the conflicted protagonist in this harrowing war drama based on the memoir by Navy SEAL sharpshooter Chris Kyle about his four tours of duty in Iraq. With muscular direction by Clint Eastwood, the film plunges viewers relentlessly into the chaos of post-9/11 U.S. military ops in the desert war zone and never lets up. Eastwood captures the complex realities of modern warfare and focuses attention on a horrendous war no one wants to acknowledge, but sitting through this movie is grueling, from war-porn battle scenes to the empty pomp of military ceremony. (R) 132 minutes.(**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. BLACK OR WHITE Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer star as dueling grandparents embroiled in a custody battle over the little granddaughter (Jillian Estell) Costner’s character has raised in this drama about race, family, and good intentions. Mike Binder (The Upside of Anger) directs. (PG-13) 121 minutes. THE BOY NEXT DOOR Jennifer Lopez stars as a recent divorcee whose affair with a much-younger neighbor leads to his sinister obsession with her in this psychological thriller from Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious). Ryan Guzman, John Corbett and Kristin Chenoweth co-star. (R) FIFTY SHADES OF GREY You may not have read the E L James book, but you’ve definitely heard of the steamy bestseller about an innocent young secretary and the hunky but troubled new boss who asks for a few services outside her job description. Fun fact: the book was originally written as fan fiction based on the
Twilight series. Just sayin’... Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson star for director Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy). (R) 125 minutes. THE IMITATION GAME The mighty Benedict Cumberbatch is outstanding as troubled mathematical genius Alan Turing, the brilliant puzzle-solver, unsung in his own lifetime, who built the first computer to break the Nazi’s Enigma code during World War II. Turing’s arrogant intelligence, closeted sexuality and borderline Asperger’s syndrome would reduce a lesser actor to tics and melodrama, but Cumberbatch’s commanding focus makes his performance a series of acute and subtle revelations. Morten Tyldum’s time-traveling narrative conveys the complexity of Turing’s story before, during, and after his work on Enigma, presenting the singular Turing as a man trying to crack the code of social “normality” throughout his life. Mark Strong, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, and Charles Dance offer smart supporting performances. (PG-13) 114 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The comic book The Secret Service is the inspiration for this tongue-in-cheek spy spoof adventure in which a slick op and his team groom a young street kid into a master spy. Colin Firth, Michael Caine, Jack Davenport, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mark Strong star with newcomer Taron Egerton. Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men First Class) directs. (R) 129 minutes. JUPITER ASCENDING Viewers have the right to expect some cool, eye-popping fun from a new sci-fi extravaganza from Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix Trilogy; Cloud Atlas). But the plot sounds like a YA fantasy: modern Mila Kunis rescued from gnarly aliens by geneticallyengineered hunk Channing Tatum, and whisked off to an alien otherworld to claim a fantastic inheritance. But it’s just a vehicle on which to hang boring, repetitive special effects, shootouts, and aerial dogfights which we have no emotional investment in, random video-game violence without purpose or consequence. Tatum and co-stars Eddie Redmayne and Sean Bean try
hard, but who cares? (PG-13) 127 minutes. (**)—Lisa Jensen. A MOST VIOLENT YEAR Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain star in this crime thriller set in New York City in 1981, where a successful immigrant family will stop at nothing to save their business and preserve their hefty share of the American Dream. David Oyelowo (Selma) and Albert Brooks co-star for director J. C. Chandor (All Is Lost). (R) 125 minutes. MR. TURNER If you’re interested in art or history or both, don’t miss Mike Leigh’s cinematic homage to expressionistic English landscape artist J. M. W. Turner. It may be a bit stately paced at times, but it’s also absorbing and kind of rhapsodic, in a weird, curmudgeony way. Detractors complain that Timothy Spall simply grunts his way through the role. Partly true, but his grunts—of pleasure, relief, dismay, and especially disdain—become a wry language unto themselves. Even by modern standards, Turner’s work still seems visionary, captured in Leigh’s film in all its robust grandeur. (R) 149 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen. OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS, 2015 Where are the next generation of filmmakers and animators coming from? Find out in these two complete programs (separate admission) of this year’s Oscar-nominated short films from around the world (five live-action and five animated), offered for theatrical release in advance of the Academy Awards on Feb 22. Astound your friends with your knowledge of these categories at your Oscar party! Live-Action: (Not rated) 117 minutes. Animated: These films come from around the world, employing a fascinating variety of animation techniques, from CGI to stop-motion, to actual hand-drawing, and it’s a treat to see cinematic art (literally) at its most personal and imaginative. (Not rated) 77 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. PADDINGTON The adorable bear in the red rain hat, hero of a series of beloved children’s’ books, gets lost in London’s Paddington Train Station and taken in by a kindly English family in this mostly live-action (+ CGI bear) family adventure. Nicole Kidman, Peter
Capaldi, Julie Walters, Sally Hawkins and Jim Broadbent head the humanoid cast. Ben Whishaw provides the voice of Paddington. (PG) 90 minutes. SELMA The struggle to make the Voting Rights Act a reality is dramatized in this extraordinarily powerful and accomplished feature from director Ava DuVernay. The story chronicles a few months in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King (played with stoic poise and uncompromising determination by David Oyelowo) organized a series of protest marches from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery to dramatize the suppression of black voting rights to the White House—and the world. In our own particular historical moment, when “Black Lives Matter” has become a rallying cry in our streets, and the VRA has been shamefully gutted by the current Supreme Court, this movie could not be more timely. (PG13) 123 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen. SEVENTH SON Ben Barnes stars in this fantasy adventure as a young farmhand plucked from his quiet life by a mystical warrior (Jeff Bridges), who recruits him to lead a crusade against an evil queen (Julianne Moore). Kit Harington, Olivia Williams, and Djimon Hounsou co-star for director Sergei Bodrov. Based on the book series by Joseph Delaney. (PG-13) 102 minutes. THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SPONGE OUT OF WATER The genial invertebrate hero of kid’s TV emerges from the ocean with his pals to become superheroes on dry land in this second movie outing. Tom Kenny reprises the voice of SpongeBob. Antonio Banderas is the voice of his new pirate nemesis. Paul Tibbitt directs. STILL ALICE Julianne Moore is the front runner for a Best Actress Oscar this year for her performance as a linguistics professor battling to retain her identity once diagnosed with EarlyOnset Alzheimer’s. Alec Baldwin and Kristen Stewart co-star for directors Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. (PG-13) 101 minutes.

T
in Dogs specializes in a lineup of hot sauces, condiments and serious 100 percent beef hot dogs. Yes, there is a Polish dog, and a Bratwurst, but the whole point (for me) is the classic, non-designer beef hot dog served up hot on a non-Ciabatta bread bun. We ordered a plain hot dog ($4), and a Chicago dog ($6) which came topped with pickles, tomatoes and hot sauce in addition to mustard, peppers, celery salt and relish. I requested “no onions.” Add one can of Diet Coke and you’ve got lunch for one big contractor, or two basketball players, or a
family of four. Huge, hot, with that sort of tantalizing tight but pliant skin, these hot dogs delivered the classic beef. The gooey bun did exactly what it was supposed to do: Hold onto the dog until about halfway through the eating process and then gradually degrade into carbo-goo slathered with whatever relishes hadn’t already squirted all over our hands. Take extra napkins when you go. Lots. This is a baguettefree pit stop, offering a short list of dogs, condiments, soft drinks, and two outdoor tables. That’s it. What is it about a hot dog? It’s so
Those obsessed with the outstanding Pinot Noirs generated by Santa Cruz Mountains winemakers can swill their fill at the 11th annual Pinot Paradise event on March 21 and 22. Two days of tasting, workshops and oenoschmoozing —what’s not to like? Saturday, March 21 features a selfguided tour, from noon to 5 p.m., of over 25 wineries. Tickets are $25—and that’s a serious bargain. Technical wine session happens on Sunday ($45) and for the very serious, Sunday’s Pinot Noir Grand Cruz tasting offers wines paired with fine food offerings from 1:30-4:30 p.m., with a general admission of $85 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga.

41st Avenue’s favorite hot dog stand, Pinot Paradise, and a Cremer House check-in BY CHRISTINA WATERS here I was at Home Depot on 41st Avenue, foraging for plumbing supplies for my latest DIY project when the sudden, irresistible craving hit me for a genuine, bona fide hand-held hot dog. I was in luck. My assistant and I were face to face with Best in Dogs, a no-frills old school hot dog stand that has been a favorite of 41st Avenue locals for close to a decade. Liberally tattooed with vintage rock posters—John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, even a testosterone-drenched movie poster featuring John Wayne—Best
Now that the oldest building in Felton houses the newest restaurant in Felton, I thought I’d stick my head in for a quick peek last Saturday. On a rainy afternoon there were quite a few couples enjoying Cremer House bar snacks and tall glasses of ales, pilsners and lagers—some of the 22 varieties on tap at any given moment. The gorgeous copper back bar design really grabs the eye, even in a gleaming interior of custom woodwork. My companion loved the padding on the banquettes, but we were both surprised at the small amount of indoor seating at Cremer House. Also, bear in mind that there are no reservations, unless you’re a party of six or more. I loved Cremer’s light Lunatic Lager, and a shared spread of fresh potato chips with hearty beer-braised onion dip ($5). Dinner doesn’t begin until 5 p.m., so I’ll have to return another day to sample the very attractive menu of hot dishes. Open 3-9 p.m., and until 10 on weekends. Closed Mondays.

erold O’Brien has been in the wine business for a long time. As owner and winemaker at Silver Mountain Vineyards, the expertise he has garnered over the years permeates every bottle of wine he produces. His was probably the first certified organic vineyard in the county—back when hardly anybody knew the meaning of the term “organic.” O’Brien’s estate-grown Chardonnay grapes are all organic and the wine produced from this quality fruit is superb. But of all the different wines that O’Brien makes, his Alloy is perhaps the most popular. A Bordeaux-style blend of red grapes, the Alloy is a robust and delicious wine that’s easy to pair with many different kinds of food. The 2008 Alloy blend ($28), sourced from different vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, contains 38 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 27 percent Merlot, 21 percent Cabernet Franc and 14 percent Petit Verdot—and O’Brien always gets it just right. Robust flavors of ripe cherry and fig, and a hint of cinnamon on the nose are a touch exotic, and the cassis, white pepper, cedar and tobacco on the finish make for a really delightful red wine with medium tannins. It’s drinkable now but will also age beautifully. Silver Mountain Vineyards has two spots for you to taste their wines: 402 Ingalls St., Santa Cruz, 466-0559. Open noon to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday in the winter; and the winery off of Old San Jose Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains is open every Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Info: silvermtn.com.
PATTI’S ’70S-ERA DISCO DANCE PARTY Well-known local realtor Patti Boe called me about a Disco Dance Party she is putting on from 7-11 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 27 at the Cocoanut Grove. “I want to give back to the community,” she says, “so I’m throwing a party.” Tickets are $40 and all proceeds from the party will go to local nonprofit organizations Second Harvest Food Bank, Boys & Girls Club of Santa Cruz, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County. So if you’re into disco, funk, punk and reggae— and dressing in ’70s gear—then this is the party for you. Info: pattiboe. com/party
LOMA PRIETA WINERY The Loma Prieta Fire & Rescue Department, which serves the Summit area, is raising money to purchase a brand-new—and muchneeded—water tender. They have a matching fund grant for $150,000 and are in need of another $30,000 to reach their goal. Loma Prieta Winery is holding a sale on Feb. 21 and 22, on their award-winning Pinotage to help raise money—and a portion of the proceeds goes to the Fire & Rescue Dept. Loma Prieta Winery is at 26985 Loma Prieta Way, Los Gatos, 408-353-2950. Visit the website for the winery’s location, as exact directions are given, and enjoy the panoramic view of the Monterey Bay from Loma Prieta’s patio. It’s stunning. lomaprietawinery.com

Avenue Café Owner Salvador Diaz on the Capitola Chaos and more BY AARON CARNES
T
Any sign of the old Taqueria Agave there? We only kept a few things. We threw all the tables away. Most everything is new: plates, chairs, silverware, paintings. We have a local artist with their pictures on the wall. It’s a lot of change. It is a real home feel. We have a garden outside with really nice plants and flower pots in front of the door. What kind of Mexican breakfasts do you have? We have machaca mixed with scrambled eggs, chorizo with eggs, Huevo rancheros, you name it. Chilaquiles is one of our top sellers. It’s a standard breakfast in Mexico—deep fried corn tortilla strips mixed with
eggs, topped with green salsa and beans and corn tortillas on the side. What’s the Capitola Chaos? The chaos is a mixture of eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, green onions, tomatoes, bacon, sour cream. It’s almost like a torte, almost or a pancake. It’s round in shape and it’s got everything mixed in it. What about a canasta salad? It’s a bowl made with a flour tortilla. It’s filled at the bottom with refried beans. It has grilled chicken or grilled steak, topped with a salad: lettuce, tomato, avocado, sour cream and cheese. What makes it Mexican is the beans, but you don’t see this in Mexico. You actually see this more in California. Why don’t you serve dinner? I used to work for the Scotts Valley Water District and I was also working at Maya Restaurant. Before I started working at the water district, I worked there as a manager. When I started working for the water district, I kept a couple days as a waiter, part time. Since I can remember, I’ve been working two shifts. Not anymore. My plan wasn’t to work all day. I want to rest in the afternoon.

aqueria Agave is gone from Capitola—there’s still one in Santa Cruz, so don’t fret—and in its place is Avenue Café, which opened on Jan. 1 this year. It’s a charming, home-y café, and they serve all the standard diner breakfast fair (pancakes, eggs, bacon) and lunch foods (sandwiches, burgers, salads), with some Mexican dishes thrown in the mix. We spoke with owner Salvador Diaz about the new restaurant, his recent retirement from the Scotts Valley Water District, and just what on earth a Capitola Chaos is.

This is the first week of Lent (purification, preparation) and according to the lunisolar calendar, the Chinese spring festival/Lunar New Year of 2015—Year of the Wood Sheep/Goat—falls on Thursday, Feb. 19. It’s a turning point year. We make something from seemingly nothing. Goats are mild mannered, shy, friendly and kindhearted, with delicate thoughts, strong creativity, and perseverance. Although gentle on the surface, they are strong and tough on the inside, with an inner resilience, excellent defense mechanisms and great professional skills. Though goats prefer to be in groups, they shy away from attention. They’re reserved and quiet, reflecting on their own thoughts and ideas. Goats are fashionable, stylish. Goats are private. It may take time to get to know them. Goats seldom share personal lives, having only a select few intimate friends. Their friendship is peaceful and fulfilling, supporting, caring and working hard for loved ones.
While celebrating Chinese New Year, red—the color symbolizes joy, virtue, truth, sincerity—is everywhere. You’ll see red lanterns, couplets of good fortune on doors, and paintings of goats and dolls. Celebrations include setting off firecrackers at doorways morning and evening to scare away evil spirits; giving money to children (and to the poor) in red envelopes; honoring elders and ancestors; offering prayers to the Kitchen God/Stove (fire); preparing and sharing “lucky foods”—fish (wishing everyone wealth and prosperity); dumplings (or spring rolls filled with long white daikon threads for long life); rice balls (reunion, being together); noodles (longevity); oranges and tangerines (success); while also preparing for the Full Moon Lantern Festival (March 5). On altars are plum and quince blossoms and narcissus (beauty). Sunday, Feb. 22 is Washington’s birthday, and mine, too. Tithing first that day and then to the museum (Crystal Bridges).
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
You shift between social groups and dreamtime, big plans for the future and things secret and reflective. Two realities at one time can be disorienting. The planets are influencing everyone to be in two worlds simultaneously. Each world affects the other. You’ll be called gradually, yet more and more, to contemplation, rest and relaxation and a dream world preparing you for things to come. Remember your nightly review. See that your day was good.
It’s the most highly creative time for you, Libra. Whatever you do indicates future possibilities. For some Librans it is good to study the science and art of astrology. For other Libras, consulting a financial advisor—astrologically knowledgeable—is good. Knowledge and application of astrology brings balance, harmony and a deep comfort in knowing all’s well and in rhythm in all things. Initiate all things new in your relationship, Libra.
Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Feb. 18
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
There are others who can assist you in the work you’re to accomplish next. Ask them questions and listen to their thoughts and ideas. They have information that fills gaps in the information you already have. Continue with planning. Be bold, philanthropic, public, enterprising, inventive and principled. Think big! Don’t stop there. Create an entire village! It will be needed.
The future is streaming into your present/future and staying there a while. Mercury asks, “what future are you hoping for, what does it look and feel like, who do you hope lives in that future with you, how and where will you live and what will your home look like?” It might be straw bale, look like a spaceship, and be totally off the grid and in a community 12 miles out of town in the woods. With chickens and goats.

You’re to become more involved and a presence in things local in your community. Gathering and dispensing information will be most important in times to come, as the old world falls away and the foundations of the new culture and civilization are being created. All around the world new concepts for living are being adopted. Learn about them. You’re a leader in speaking, writing and communicating.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Changes in routine, plans and agendas may occur more often. Your mind may feel like it’s taken off in a starship to places far far away. I’ve mentioned a book list for these times before. “2150” by Thea Alexander? “Island” by Aldous Huxley? “Shikasta” by Doris Lessing? Find them. Read them. Also, anything about the Secret Space Program and anything by progressive journalist Sam Smith. They provide light in our particular semi-darkness.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20
Many realities call to you. One is resources, sharing yours with others, preparing for others in need. The second is philosophy, justice, expanding your mind, studying, reading and learning. Together these make for a very active and intelligent mind indeed, filled with new ideas and contemplations. Notice if there’s a spark of joy, like dry kindling waiting to be lit. From the soul comes joy and for this your personality longs.
All Capricorns are becoming new these days. New ideas, thoughts, actions, interests, moods, feelings. Within this change comes compassion, especially toward those having less, toward children and elders. Sometimes our compassion gets lost along the way. Then something occurs, a loss and a revelation, and it emerges once again. Compassion—a found object within each of us. Like a sanctuary light in the temple of self. Compassion. What does it mean?
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Mercury in Aquarius is traveling through your house of relationships. This makes your mind really active in terms of relationships. Mercury tries to build bridges from one to another. This can be disorienting if you’re a Leo whose energies are mainly internal. For externalized Leos this can be an exhilarating time of connecting with others. Your mind, energy, focus, need for action and travel are shining brightly these days. It’s time for new endeavors.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 What ways of being, what daily agendas and disciplines, what boundaries and structures within your daily life do you want to eliminate, tear down, do away with and leave behind? This is an excellent time to initiate new schedules, plans, programs, arrangements and organization that will alter daily life and also create foundation for future endeavors. Are money matters organized?
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 So many realities are occurring for you this month. A new path may be considered and possibly taken, an expansion of friendships, thoughts about community, sharing resources, and trying to heal a wound that hurts. Communication is most important now. Be fair with everyone and ethical. Tend to money carefully with great consideration toward others. Share.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You’re focused on things private and confidential. It’s your birthday month. A new year for you. On birthdays it’s good to tithe first, helping those in need—children in hospitals (St. Jude’s Hospital), building resources in communities for families (Heifer Project), medicines for those in need (Doctors Without Borders). When an obstacle or question appears, radiate a light from the ajna center (3rd eye) upon it. A revelation (answer) then occurs. Are you sleeping? What are you dreaming about?
