OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE This week’s cover story gave me an unsettling case of déjà vu. When I was starting out at the Register-Pajaronian in the ’90s, I did some reporting on the fight against the use of the methyl bromide in the Pajaro Valley strawberry fields. There was a lot of activism in and around those fields back then; I covered huge United Farm Workers marches that pushed their way onto the front page every day with the thousands of workers and supporters they drew to the streets of Watsonville, and the dangers of pesticide exposure was one of their central concerns.

What made it so frustrating to report on methyl bromide back then was the general lack of scientific understanding about how

Measure L appears as an advisory measure in support of a bicycle and pedestrian path over the Capitola Trestle. By itself, that would not be a bad thing, although it is an expensive way to support something the approved Regional Transportation Commission Master Plan already envisions.

Unfortunately, Measure L also ties the hands of the elected Capitola City Council when it comes to planning what bike riders and pedestrians will be able to do until the trestle is made safe enough and wide enough to carry some form of transit and the bike/ pedestrian path. Trail users will just have to decide for themselves what to do when they are riding or walking on the trail and it comes to the Capitola Trestle. If Measure L passes, Capitola will be prohibited from doing any planning or spending any money on signage, temporary road or sidewalk improvements.

ALTERNATIVES MUST CO-EXIST The letters last week regarding the railroad tracks suggested that the sensible thing to do would be to pave over the tracks, and also

pesticides affect human health. Workers feared that they were in danger, and that their health problems were related to pesticide use, but there wasn’t a lot of research that wasn’t done by chemical companies with an obvious conflict of interest.

Watching Georgia Johnson do exhaustive research on her cover story this week, trying to get concrete answers about the problems teachers in Pajaro Valley perceive with their close proximity to pesticides, I realized that some things have changed since then—but some things haven’t. Yes, methyl bromide is mostly out of circulation; and yes, there is now some startling medical research about pesticide danger. But what struck me most is what hasn’t changed, especially the fear and uncertainty that people who work close to the fields still feel. It’s a powerful and important story, and I hope we’re not writing it again in another 20 years.

that trains are of the past and not the present and future. Both assertions are wrong.

The sensible thing to do would be for this county, in a public/private enterprise, to improve the tracks so that a modern light-rail system could operate on it.

Anyone who would want to take the time should look at Campaign for Sensible Transportation’s website, in which there are videos which portray the latest state-of-the-art electrically operated rail vehicles and cars that are currently in use in various cities in the nation and Canada. The need is for real alternative transportation to automobiles, and a bikeand-walk trail certainly can co-exist with the tracks along much of the branch line.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: SCOOTERS If someone stole or destroyed Bird scooters, are they destroying or stealing private property? Is it a crime? If I left a bunch of my things all over the city, and gave everyone instructions on how to use my stuff, can I expect the city to guard my stuff? I’m curious what sort of weird precedents will come from legal battles on this topic.

GRID BREAKING

WORTH ADDING

It can be difficult to keep track of all the Santa Cruz City Council candidates.

This year, with 10 individuals running, it may look especially tempting to pick candidates with a dartboard. Lucky for us, Ron Goodman has assembled a surprisingly comprehensive chart of everyone in the race. His chart, available at santacruzcitycouncil.org, lets the candidates respond to 13 different questions. Some candidates declined to answer certain questions, and some responses make more sense than others, but it’s a great starting place.

The Santa Cruz American Association of University Women (AAUW) just celebrated the 20th Anniversary of its Tech Trek program with a Seascape luncheon. The weeklong camp targets middle school girls who might otherwise not be encouraged to pursue science or math. Six girls have earned scholarships for the upcoming summer, when they’ll learn about marine biology, coding and forensics. The local branch has been raising money to send seventh-grade girls to camp since 1989. To learn more, visit santacruz-ca.aauw.net or email jeannejorgensen@hotmail.com.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 26 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Do you have any skills at living on the edge between the light and the dark? Are you curious about what the world might look like and how people would treat you if you refused to divide everything up into that which helps you and that which doesn’t help you? Can you imagine how it would feel if you loved your life just the way it is and not wish it were different from what it is? Please note: people less courageous than you might prefer you to be less courageous. But I hope you’ll stay true to the experiment of living on the edge between the light and the dark.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

According to Popbitch.com, most top-charting pop songs are in a minor key. In light of this fact, I encourage you to avoid listening to pop songs for the next three weeks. In my astrological opinion, it's essential that you surround yourself with stimuli that don’t tend to make you sad and blue, that don’t influence you to interpret your experience through a melancholic, mournful filter. To accomplish the assignments that life will be sending you, you need to at least temporarily cultivate a mood of crafty optimism.

There is no such thing as a plant that blooms continuously. Phases of withering and dormancy are just as natural as phases of growth. I bring this fact to your attention to help you remain poised as you go through your own period of withering followed by dormancy. You should accept life’s demand that you slow down and explore the mysteries of fallowness. You should surrender sweetly to stasis and enjoy your time of rest and recharging. That’s the best way to prepare for the new cycle of growth that will begin in a few weeks.

GEMINI May21–June20 Gemini regent Queen Victoria (1819–1901) wore crotchless underwear made of linen. A few years ago, Britain’s Museums, Libraries, and Archives Council accorded them "national designated status," an official notice that means they are a national treasure. If I had the power, I would give your undergarments an equivalent acknowledgment. The only evidence I would need to make this bold move would be the intelligence and expressiveness with which you are going to wield your erotic sensibilities in the coming weeks.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 I’ve taken a break from socializing, my fellow Cancerian.

In fact, I’m on sabbatical from my regular rhythm. My goal for the coming days is to commune with my past and review the story of my life. Rather than fill my brain up with the latest news and celebrity gossip, I am meditating on my own deep dark mysteries. I’m mining for secrets that I might be concealing from myself. In accordance with the astrological omens, I suggest that you follow my lead.

You might want to delve into boxes of old mementos or re-read emails from years ago. You could get in touch with people who are no longer part of your life even though they were once important to you. How else could you get into intimate contact with your eternal self?

on our planet. In fact, they’re animals and plants that have existed for millennia. But they’ve never before been noticed and identified by science. Among recent additions to our ever-growing knowledge are an orchid in Madagascar that smells like champagne, an electric blue tarantula in the Guyana rain forest, and a Western Australian grass that has a flavor resembling salt and vinegar potato chips. I suspect you’ll be making metaphorically comparable discoveries in the coming weeks, Libra: evocative beauty that you’ve been blind to and interesting phenomena that have been hiding in plain sight.

Here’s a quote from A Map of Misreading, a book by renowned literary critic, Harold Bloom: "Where the synecdoche of *tessera* made a totality, however illusive, the metonymy of kenosis breaks this up into discontinuous fragments." What the cluck did Harold Bloom just say?! I’m not being anti-intellectual when I declare this passage to be pretentious drivel. In the coming days, I urge you Leos to draw inspiration from my response to Bloom. Tell the truth about nonsense. Don’t pretend to appreciate jumbled or over-complicated ideas. Expose bunk and bombast. Be kind, if you can, but be firm. You’re primed to be a champion of down-to-earth communication.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A data research company, Priceonomics, suggests that Monday is the most productive day of the week, and that October is the most productive month of the year.

My research suggests that while Capricorns tend to be the most consistently productive of all the signs in the zodiac, Virgos often outstrip them for a six-week period during the end of each September and throughout October. Furthermore, my intuition tells me that you Virgos now have an extraordinary capacity to turn good ideas into practical action. I conclude, therefore, that you are about to embark on a surge of industrious and high-quality work. (P.S.: This October has five Mondays.)

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 Biologists are constantly unearthing new species, although not new in the sense of having just appeared

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 If you were ever going to win a contest that awarded you a free vacation to an exotic sanctuary, it would probably happen during the next three weeks. If a toy company would ever approach you about developing a line of action figures and kids’ books based on your life, it might also be sometime soon. And if you have ever had hopes of converting your adversaries into allies, or getting support and backing for your good original ideas, or finding unexpected inspiration to fix one of your not-so-good habits, those opportunities are now more likely than they have been for some time.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 An 81-year-old Capricorn man named James Harrison has donated his unique blood on 1,173 occasions.

Scientists have used it to make medicine that prevents Rhesus disease in unborn babies, thereby healing more than 2.4 million kids and literally saving thousands of lives. I don’t expect you to do anything nearly as remarkable. But I do want to let you know that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to lift your generosity and compassion to the next level. Harrison would serve well as your patron saint

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 On a spring morning some years ago, a smoky aroma woke me from a deep sleep. Peering out my bedroom window into the backyard, I saw that my trickster girlfriend Anastasia had built a bonfire. When I stumbled to my closet to get dressed, I found my clothes missing.

There were no garments in my dresser, either. In my groggy haze, I realized that my entire wardrobe had become fuel for Anastasia’s conflagration. It was too late to intervene, and I was still quite drowsy, so I crawled back in bed to resume snoozing. A while later, I woke to find her standing next to the bed bearing a luxurious breakfast she said she’d cooked over the flames of my burning clothes. After our meal, we stayed in bed all day, indulging in a variety of riotous fun. I’m not predicting that similar events will unfold in your life, Aquarius. But you may experience adventures that are almost equally boisterous, hilarious and mysterious.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 I’ve got three teachings for you. 1. Was there a time in your past when bad romance wounded your talent for love? Yes, but you now have more power to heal that wound than you’ve ever had before. 2. Is it possible you’re ready to shed a semi-delicious addiction to a chaotic magic? Yes. Clarity is poised to trump melodrama. Joyous decisiveness is primed to vanquish ingrained sadness. 3.

Has there ever been a better time than now to resolve and graduate from past events that have bothered and drained you for a long time? No. This is the best time ever.

Homework: Make two fresh promises to yourself: one that’s easy to keep and one that's at the edge of your capacity to live up to.

OPINION

<4

My wife and I rented these in Jack London Square in Oakland last month, and went around Lake Merritt. Though we were on paths most of the time, we did have to get into a bit of traffic. These things do not have shocks, and they don’t provide you helmets, though everything you signed releases liability of an accident. But don’t hit a pothole! They can reach up to 18 miles an hour, so they tend to tick off pedestrians if you’re at the higher speeds. Especially on West Cliff, if we started mixing up electric scooters, too many Jump bikes, pedestrians, dog walkers with leashes,

joggers and baby carts, we are going to have more accidents and aggression on what should otherwise be a lovely stroll.

I am super all for these alternative forms of transportation, but we need designated paths for them instead. There’s enough aggression on the roads between anybody who drives these days, whereas walking on the cliffs should be relaxing. Often, Jump bikes are ridden by tourists, that don’t have a lot of regard for pedestrians. I’d like to see them off heavily traffic paths, as they’re too fast here.

Night and Day

Inside the homeless drug culture of heroin and meth, through the eyes of one addict BY HUGH MCCORMICK

T

aking short, rapid puffs off a cigarette, Jay Gregoric tries to remember which of his many pockets his so-called “ground score” is in. After a few minutes of searching, he pulls out a quarter-sized piece of white paper, folded up tightly. “I found this this morning,” says Gregoric, who’s homeless. A ground score is what it sounds like—a score of drugs that someone finds on the ground.

The bag has 20 bucks’ worth of what Gregoric calls “daytime” wrapped up in crisp white paper that he says he found under a picnic table at the park. It was a nice way to start his morning.

Gregoric, who grew up in Santa Cruz, is sitting by the railroad tracks near Depot Park. Those who hang out here call it Desolation Row. In the distance, giggling and joyous soccer players celebrate a goal, and children skip excitedly up Center Street, dragging their parents toward the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on this hot Friday afternoon. Draped in oversized military fatigues, Gregoric resembles a pyramid-like pile of filthy laundry as he sits slumped under a tree, near some portable toilets.

Gregoric, a longtime drug user, knows the ins and outs of where to score.

“Daytime is meth. It’s everywhere

on the Westside,” Gregoric explains, massaging the plain white package between his thumb and index finger. “The Westside is all daytime people. Most of them don’t do heroin anymore. “‘Nighttime’ is heroin— it’s mostly downtown. ‘Daytime,’ ‘nighttime.’ It’s the lingo down here.

Everyone knows that. Even the cops know that.”

On the streets of other cities, users may know heroin as “black” and meth as “white.” “It’s a Santa Cruz thing. It’s a small town,” Gregoric says.

During his one year at the helm of the Santa Cruz Police Department, Police Chief Andy Mills >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 26-OCTOBER 2, 2018

Reflecting on 40 years of Save Our Shores, Katherine O’Dea, the environmental group’s executive director, sees a clear path forward for the future of ocean advocacy. That route—as laid out during the nonprofit’s 40th anniversary gala at the Monterey Bay Aquarium—will involve increasingly more legwork and long-term planning. If all goes according to plan, it’ll involve a little less grunt work, too.

“We’re going to continue cleaning our shores,” O’Dea says, cradling a cup of coffee, as guests trickle out of the aquarium and the celebration quiets down. “But we’re hoping through the education initiatives we’ll develop the next generation to have a better environmental ethic, and we’ll be cleaning shores less, because they’ll be cleaner.”

Wearing a sparkling gold-tinged dress, O’Dea spoke to supporters about a new pollution policy campaign targeting six nonessential but ubiquitous plastic products, including single-use toiletry bottles and single-use water bottles.

O’Dea wants local governments to ban the sale of both in the county, and has been working with other environmental leaders like Tim Goncharoff, a resource planner with the Santa Cruz County Department of Public Works.

Goncharoff was one of three award winners Saturday evening when he took home the Ocean Hero award for his work on waste reduction. Save the Waves won the Ocean Business Award for shining a light on environmental issues, and Keith Grudger won the Ocean Steward Award for developing the Marine Tally app. The app helps Save Our Shores track data and reduce paper usage at clean-ups.

Assemblymember Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley) presented proclamations honoring both Save Our Shores and Dan Haifley, the group’s original director.

Santa Cruz County Health Educator Tara Leonard attended the gala with her husband George, the chief scientist for the Ocean Conservancy. One issue on which they are both focused is reducing the number of cigarette butts that wash into the ocean. >14

NEWS NIGHT AND DAY <11 says he has witnessed an “everworsening epidemic” of drug use among the homeless population of Santa Cruz County. “Meth and heroin offer different types of highs,” he says. “Heroin has certainly been on a surge here in Santa Cruz. A lot of people use multiple drugs—all of the above. This is so dangerous.

With heroin, the danger is using it, OD’ing, and then dying. Meth, to me, is the most destructive drug physiologically.”

Gregoric’s life as a drug addict began with crystal meth, but he says that his main addiction these days is heroin. He has become a hybrid user. “It kind of sucks. It has to be both at the same time. A certain quantity of each,” says the 29-year-

old, who’s wearing pink sunglasses, and a backward green baseball cap. He also keeps an intimidating metal baton, technically classified as an illegal weapon in the state of California. “Take a little bit of heroin and a little more of day—mix them together. It’s called a ‘goofball’ or ‘speedball.’”

According to the 2017 Homeless Census, 41 percent of the county’s homeless struggle with addiction to drugs or alcohol. For years, local homeless drug users gravitated toward cheap, readily available crystal methamphetamine, but recently, a wave of inexpensive, high-quality heroin from Mexico has changed things on the streets.

Mills says he read recently that four-fifths of heroin addicts are homeless. “I call it the story of the

chicken and the egg,” says Mills.

“Are they using heroin and they’re homeless, or are they homeless and using heroin?”

The habit of hybrid using is particularly dangerous, and several of Santa Cruz County’s high-profile overdoses in recent years have stemmed from cocktail mixtures of drugs.

After more than six years as a homeless addict, Gregoric says he wants to get clean, but there are few addiction services for users like him in Santa Cruz County.

Rudy Escalante, Capitola’s former police chief, is CEO of Janus of Santa Cruz, the only licensed withdrawal management facility in Santa Cruz County. He says he sees “more people abusing substances now than ever before.” >17

OPERATING ROOM

The debate over a proposed $28 billion hospital megamerger arrived in Santa Cruz this week. Tensions were high during a wide-ranging hearing Monday on the merge’s potential local impacts at Dominican Hospital.

A standing-room-only meeting in a community room at the Santa Cruz Police Department drew comments on everything from abortion and IVF to tattoo removal and insurance bureaucracy. The central question: whether or not a plan to combine Dominican owner Dignity Health with fellow hospital operator Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) poses a threat to local jobs and medical services.

"Bigger is not always better," said Lila DeVito, one of several nurses at Dominican who spoke in opposition to the merger currently being reviewed by regulators, at least without strict conditions. On top of voicing concerns about losing “local

control” of the hospital, DeVito asked for an explicit 15-year moratorium on any possible hospital closures or restructuring that could affect Dominican or other facilities—rather than an initial five-year commitment.

Dominican President and CEO Nanette Mickiewicz, who was there with other Dignity Health and hospital executives, maintained that the current plan already contains sufficient safeguards to combine San Francisco-based Dignity Health's 39 hospitals in three states with Colorado-based CHI’s 104 medical facilities in 18 states.

“We do not expect any jobs to be reduced,” Mickiewicz said, noting that union collective bargaining agreements would remain in place. “I want to be crystal clear: There will be no reduction to any service.”

Despite assurances— and the fact that the new Dominican ownership group is expected to be non-Catholic in affiliation—multiple speakers expressed concern about health services for women and LGBT residents. Specifically,

speakers asked for more concrete guarantees on local access to abortion and in-vitro fertilization, along with availability of the morning-after pill for rape survivors.

If the merger is approved by the state attorney general, Dominican and other affected hospitals in California would be owned by a new nonprofit health group called Integrated Healthcare Operations.

The name was one of several reminders of the increasingly business-centric health care industry, with Dignity Health speakers referencing “alignments,” “synergies” and “regional and subsidiary corporations.”

For residents and regulators, the focus is on whether efforts to consolidate major hospital systems in pursuit of efficiency and savings will result in better access to care—or more confusing red tape after years of debate about health care reform. Dominican, first opened in 1941, currently offers 222 hospital beds, employs more than 1,600 people and

generated more than $1.8 billion in total revenue last year.

“Health care is changing,” Mickiewicz said. "This will allow us to continue caring for communities.”

While such nationwide shifts are much bigger than Dominican or any one facility, Monday’s speakers said that Santa Cruz is a prime example of the need for models to serve vulnerable populations. They mentioned homeless services, substance use rehabilitation and human trafficking were as “social determinants of health” that all providers must be aware of.

To that end, several speakers from nonprofits that have helped fill increasingly wide gaps in the local social safety net expressed optimism that the merger would not affect longstanding partnerships or grant funding from Dignity Health. Representatives from Second Harvest Food Bank, Janus of Santa Cruz and Salud Para La Gente all supported the merger, along with Santa Cruz Mayor David Terrazas. LAUREN HEPLER

IN DUE TIDE <11 Research on the health risks from smoking isn’t new. Even still, most kids think they’re invincible, Leonard explains, and if someone tries to tell them about the risks of emphysema in 30 years, they’ll simply roll their eyes at the message. “But you show them a picture of a fish with a belly full of cigarette butts,” she says, “and those kids are never gonna smoke.”

Assemblymember Stone introduced a bill for the third time earlier this year banning the sale of cigarettes with singleuse filters in them. The first time he introduced the legislation in 2014, it got just two votes in its initial committee hearing.

On his second try, Stone pulled the bill, knowing that the committee was going to

kill it, anyway. This time, Stone’s proposed filter ban got five votes in its committee hearing, still a few short of what it needed to advance.

Stone knew the bill didn’t have any shot at making it to the governor’s desk this year. But every time he introduces the bill, he says, it furthers the discussion with manufacturers, store owners, constituents and his fellow lawmakers. Many of Stone’s colleagues, for instance, have been surprised to learn that that filters do not make cigarettes any safer to smoke.

Cigarette companies do already make filterless cigarettes, although they are not as popular, Stone says.

Leonard has strong feelings about the cigarette butt, calling it “the next plastic straw.” (A new California law makes it illegal for businesses to give out plastic

straws unless customers request them.)

With the help of a dozen kids, Leonard picked up 3,500 cigarettes earlier this month in Watsonville over the course of just two hours.

“It’s not just trash. It’s a toxin,” Leonard says of the single-use cigarette filter, which is made of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic. “It has all the toxins that we don’t want in second-hand smoke, which is why we don’t allow smoking in restaurants and in our workplaces and in airplanes.”

Early in the evening, at a dinner table surrounded by kelp forests, Jason Scorse says the next phase of ocean advocacy will involve hard work at a number of levels.

Scorse, director of the Center for the Blue Economy, says that best strategies

will range from “real mundane shit”—like making sure there are enough trash cans on the beach for Fourth of July weekend—to more visionary thinking and innovative new technology. Scorse, also an associate professor at Middlebury Institute in Monterey, is a former Save Our Shores boardmember who serves on the group’s policy committee.

As he enjoys his vegan dinner, Scorse mentions that he’s impressed by the nonprofit’s new milestone, having made it to 40 years. He stresses, however, that the group can’t look back. He would like to, one day, see the Monterey Bay have the cleanest beaches in the United States—setting an example for the rest of the country.

“We’re not quite there yet. It’s more of an aspiration than a reality,” Scorse says, “but I’ll take that to my grave if necessary.”

IN HARMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SPRAY Pajaro Valley teachers say pesticide exposure is a threat to their schools BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

“I started thinking maybe I should be careful about drinking the water.

But I never thought about the air.”

Ohlone Elementary was built right in the middle of farmlands.

No one seems to knows why this location was chosen; the fact that surrounding farms use hundreds of gallons of pesticides and fumigants annually would make it seem less than ideal. Scientific findings on the dangers of pesticide exposure are complicated and sometimes confusing, but for residents, teachers, and farmworkers, the

fields,” Wanless says. “I lived and worked in fear.”

WAY BACK WHEN In spring of 1992, Ohlone teacher Teri Ketchie took 60 students on a field trip down to Elkhorn Slough. It was about a 45-minute walk, and they cut through the fields to get there. Once at the slough, they learned about the ecosystems of the wetlands, native grasses and habitats. On the way back, they looked across the field and saw a brownish cloud rising up from the fields. The farmers were fumigating, and the cloud was drifting toward them.

“It started coming, we could see it, and we hunkered down with the kids behind an embankment,” Ketchie, who has since retired, remembers.

“We sat there and read until we could hear that the tractor had moved on.

The kids were so calm, and we waited there about 25 minutes.”

Now there are fences closed off from the path, and students and teachers don’t walk through the fields because they know about the pesticides.

“That was one of the pivotal experiences for me, that day. I realized that farms aren’t friendly places, they aren’t safe places,” Ketchie says. “We were really naive.

It was back when we just didn’t associate poison with food.”

Ketchie never found out what pesticide it was that she and her class were exposed to. But at the time, teachers and activists were rallying around banning methyl bromide, a colorless odorless fumigant widely used on crops, particularly strawberries, and now proven to cause not only severe neurological damage in humans, but also deplete the ozone layer.

Methyl bromide has been phased out of most agricultural use, though many believe that it’s replacements aren’t much safer.

“One of the replacements that companies created for methyl bromide was methyl iodide,” says Mark Weller, co-director of CPR. “Methyl iodide was actually a research chemical that scientists used to induce cancer in lab rats.

Because of public outcry, the maker of methyl iodide pulled the product in 2012.”

hen third-grade teacher Melissa Dennis started working at Ohlone Elementary in Watsonville, she pictured her students playing in the adjacent strawberry fields, picking berries and running through rows of strawberries. But the more she talked to other teachers, the more she realized the reality might not be so idyllic.

“I started hearing about teachers in the past who had been organizing against pesticide use,” Dennis said.

proof is in their experience and stories.

“When you read the label on the products, it says ‘these pesticides are toxic for small mammals, insects, frogs, birds,’” Dennis says.

“They use thousands of pounds of this stuff all around us. What are human children but small mammals?”

Dennis eventually joined Safe Ag Safe Schools (SASS), a Salinasbased subgroup of Californians for Pesticide Reform (CPR), with a few other Pajaro Valley Unified teachers who say they have witnessed multiple cases of brain tumors, neurological problems and severe respiratory illness in young children at their schools. Just yards away from many of these schools, tarps stretch across pesticidetreated fields and teachers keep the windows of their classrooms shut.

“I've noticed how many students are coming down with cancers, and how many teachers have cancer, and I was scared to get cancer from those pesticides,” Former Hall District Elementary and Ohlone teacher Karin Wanless says. “I feel like if I had stayed, I would have had to come to terms with acknowledging that I could get cancer doing the job I love.”

In 2016, more than 1.54 million pounds of pesticides were sprayed on crops in Santa Cruz County, according to the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR), and nearly half were on strawberry fields. The main pesticides used in Santa Cruz County in 2016 were chloropicrin—or tear gas, at over 640,000 pounds—and 1-3 dichloropropene (also known as Telone) at over 288,000 pounds.

Chloropicrin is a lung-damaging agent, and Telone is classified as a “probable human carcinogen” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). According to the CDPR, as long as the pesticides are applied correctly, in the right dosage, with all of the proper safety precautions, there is little chance of major health impacts.

Many of the people working near these pesticides are far from convinced.

“I was scared for my own health and scared for my life. I developed asthma after teaching near the

The most recent replacements in Santa Cruz County are Telone and chloropicrin, and methyl bromide is not legally allowed to be used on agriculture except in a few cases, says Santa Cruz Agricultural Commissioner Juan Hidalgo. “There are some allowances that are extremely limited. There is still the potential for methyl bromide to be used for quarantine purposes.”

CHEMICALS ON TRIAL But there are many more pesticides that have proven dangerous health effects. Just last month, a San Francisco jury awarded $289 million to a former school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson. Johnson claimed that he developed terminal cancer from using glyphosate-based weed killers, including Monsanto’s RoundUp. The jury found that Monsanto had failed to warn Johnson and other consumers of the cancer risks posed by its weedkillers.

In September 2017, the U.S. EPA concluded a decades-long assessment of glyphosate risks and found that the chemical was not likely carcinogenic to humans. But the World Health

Organization’s cancer department in 2015 classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Such is the case with many other pesticides, including chlorpyrifos, Telone and chloropicrin. Monsanto is facing at least 5,000 similar lawsuits, and has since appealed the decision in Johnson’s case. Glyphosate is used Santa Cruz, and according to Hidalgo, in 2017 local agriculture used more than 3,517 pounds of it.

A farm next to T.S. MacQuiddy Elementary, Los Amigos Harvesting, was fined the largest amount in county history last year. Hidalgo fined them $56,000 for unpermitted pesticide application, among other offenses, that resulted in drift.

Around 20 farmworkers were sickened—eight needed professional medical treatment.

The U.S. EPA estimates that “10,000-20,000 physician-diagnosed pesticide poisonings occur each year among the approximately 2 million U.S. agricultural workers.”

In 2015, CDPR reported nearly 400 complaints of people being affected by agricultural pesticides in California, 13 of whom were in Santa Cruz County.

CDPR doesn’t conduct its own safety investigations. Rather, a pesticide manufacturer, like Monsanto or Dow Chemical, is the one responsible for funding and conducting safety studies. Their conclusions will be presented to the CDPR and U.S. EPA. To some, this would appear problematic, perhaps creating a conflict of interest, where the companies in charge of testing a new pesticide for safety are the same ones who stand to profit from it.

CDPR spokesperson Charlotte Fadipe doesn’t see it that way.

“If they are not the ones to fund the work, who should do it? The taxpayers?” she asks. “If Dow or Monsanto wants their product used in California, then we say ‘go show us that it’s safe, show us the data.’

Sometimes we return it and make them do it again if they don’t meet the requirements or our scientists have concerns. It gets very expensive, and who should pay for that research?

The companies should bear the brunt of the expense, and then we make sure that their research work fulfills our criteria.”

Fadipe says that the department has sent many studies back to the manufacturers when they don’t meet its standards, and that California in particular has stricter requirements for pesticide safety compared to other states and even the U.S. EPA. Weller says that isn’t an excuse, and the studies need independence in order to be done correctly. “That’s what the taxpayers are for, to make sure that we aren’t overrun but private corporate interest,” Weller says.

CDPR factors in many other studies, other than just the manufacturers’ report, including scientific university studies and literature. The majority of pesticide studies use animals, mainly rodents that get exposed to a single pesticide in order to determine its effects and the threshold at which it starts to be

harmful. But these tests don’t account for the multitude of pesticides that residents and local schools are exposed to. It’s difficult to know what the combined effect is of exposure to several pesticides at the same time.

A 2016 UCLA study found that the combination of common strawberry fumigants chloropicrin, Telone and metam sodium, pose a greater threat to human health and cancer risks when used together than when used individually. Although the study was theoretical, the report states that the pesticides may interact to increase the overall damage to cells. The Sustainable Technology and Policy Program at UCLA recommended that the CDPR take further action to protect people from the exposure of multiple pesticides.

CDPR says that it reviewed the UCLA study, and based upon their own research, determined that in order for pesticides combinations to be potentially more harmful than individual pesticides, they would have to pose the same type of hazard. For example, a known specific carcinogen would have to match up with another specific carcinogen, otherwise the effects of the mixture remain individual.

“It was interesting on a theoretical basis but putting it into practice it was difficult,” says CDPR scientist Dr. Shelley DuTeaux. “The science is an interesting idea, and is fairly new, but not at a level that the EPA or DPR could start to use it.”

However, when combined, even if the exposure remains the same, the pesticide mixture’s potential health risks multiply based upon the individual chemicals used. In adherence with a new regulation, neighboring farms distribute pesticide lists to Pajaro Valley Unified Schools that includes the pesticides they could potentially use within a quarter mile of the school.

The lists do not doesn’t specify when exactly they will be applied.

"So basically, it goes like ‘here is the poison that we are going to apply sometime. We won’t tell you when—just sometime,’" Weller says.

“The pesticides on these lists, this is just what’s promised. If the growers

use a pesticide not on that list, they need to give one person at the school 48 hours notice.”

The list sent to Amesti Elementary in April, for example, includes 460 pesticides that growers are expected to apply within a quarter mile between July 2018 and June 2019. The list includes Telone, chloropicrin, chlorpyrifos, glyphosate and malathion, all either known carcinogens, or known to cause hormonal and respiratory problems at certain levels of exposure. Though health effects have been studied, little is known about the combination of these pesticides. A similar list of 185 pesticides was sent to Ohlone this year, also listing Telone, chloropicrin and glyphosate.

“We know that the fumigants are mostly used between August and November, usually,” Weller says.

“Some others are used more year round. Still, this secretive use is concerning, and it gives us no time to prepare.”

PRE-SCHOOL One chief concern with pesticide exposure is the long-term effects of pesticides on mothers and children.

There are many women who become pregnant while working in the fields, or who live nearby. Their proximity to some of the pesticides used could potentially harm their unborn children—a charge that seems to be backed by the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) study from UC Berkeley.

The study is particularly unique because it’s a “longitudinal birth cohort study”; unlike many other studies on pesticides, it has tracked pesticide impacts on children from the womb. It began around 2000 and enrolled 601 pregnant women living in the agricultural Salinas Valley, and has tracked the children to measure their exposures to pesticides and determine if this exposure has impacted their health.

According to CHAMACOS, children who have been exposed to organophosphate pesticides— including Telone, chlorpyrifos,

chloropicrin, and glyphosate—in utero, meaning their mothers were also exposed to those pesticides, had lower average IQs, poorer cognitive functioning and shorter attention spans than children who were not.

Likewise, the women had shorter pregnancies.

There are over 600 families from the Salinas Valley, mostly farmworker families, currently voluntarily participating in CHAMACOS, and researchers plan to follow participants through 18 years of age for at least another three years.

“One of the ways that we know about the health effects of pesticides is because in a laboratory a toxicologist would feed pesticides to a rat and see what that does to the rat. That’s how we first get our hints about the effects,” says CHAMACOS researcher Kim Harley. “But people aren’t rats, so you can only get so much information from that before you have to start looking at real human populations.”

The current federal administration has proposed a “Strengthening the Transparency of Regulatory Science” action, which would exclude the consideration of studies that do not provide freely available data and information of those studies. Since the CHAMACOS study is bound by privacy protections and confidentiality of their patients, it risks exclusion from the U.S. EPA’s study review if this proposal goes into effect.

Although CDPR says they do review the study, it does not factor into their own research because of the differing goals and processes.

“We like to see things that we can repeat over and over again and get the same results,” Fadipe says. “That way we know for sure that it’s correct. We mostly use the animal base studies or computer modelling.”

“But we are moving to start using modelling and in vitro data so that we can get away from using tons of animals,” says DuTeaux.

remembers a six-year-old female student he had three years ago who developed a brain tumor. She had a very limited field of vision, and a never-ending list of prescriptions.

She was taken to Stanford’s Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, and although she lived, her vision will never be the same.

“It’s remarkable the number of people whose babies are having brain surgery and spending the next several years in special ed or receiving special services,” Feldman says.

Feldman says at the same time his student was diagnosed with a brain tumor, there were seven other students ages five to 11 undergoing treatment for some variety of cancer at Ohlone.

“I have cared for many women who have come to us because of fetal anomalies from both Salinas and Watsonville,” says a longtime maternity nurse at a Northern California Teaching Hospital, who asked to remain anonymous. “I would say in general we see a lot of fetal anomalies from the Latino population coming out of Salinas. If you asked a nurse offhand, ‘do you feel like there are a lot of anomalies from that population?’ I can assure you that they would say yes. It’s something that we see in high proportion from the patients in that area.”

But Dr. Paul Fisher, Chief of Division of Child Neurology, Beirne Family Professor of Pediatric NeuroOncology at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford says he has not observed any such anomalies.

“At Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, we have not seen or associated any neurological disorders with pesticides in our patients,” says Fisher. “Regarding brain tumors, we have not observed any pattern, bump, cluster or run in patients from Santa Cruz, Watsonville or Salinas.”

Many teachers still fear that their own health is at risk. “My wife and I both work at this school, and I question how it is going to affect my long-term health,” Feldman says. “Last year when they came by offering extra insurance for cancer, I’m unusually underinsured because the odds are I am going to lose on it, but for this I knew we would use it. We both got cancer insurance, and we are pretty much likely to turn a profit on it.”

IMPROVEMENTS This year, a new regulation went into affect preventing farmers from spraying within a quarter-mile of schools during school hours.

Pesticide application can now only be done after school hours, before 6 a.m., after 6 p.m. or on weekends. Santa Cruz Agricultural Commissioner Juan Hidalgo considers this new regulation an overall success.

“Now we are not getting many complaints about spraying during school hours, whereas in the past we used to get more complaints about applications near schools,” Hidalgo says.

Because the urban and agricultural interface in South County is comparatively close together, and the schools and communities are right next to fields, the Agriculture Commissioner’s Office has taken extra precautions beyond the state regulations. For chlorpyrifos, Telone and chloropicrin, the commissioner’s office has additional requirements, such as additional signage and notifications.

“There are some exceptions to that,” says Hidalgo, “which has to do with the type of application equipment. Or if you are using equipment that is low pressure and close to the ground—like a boom that is close to the ground for

strawberries—because that has less of a potential for drift. But you still have to stay 25 feet away from a school.”

RoundUp, for example, can still be used legally within 25 feet of a school, if it is being applied by a non motorized backpack sprayer.

Unless the pesticide is a fumigant, it can be applied within the quartermile buffer on weekends, evenings and early mornings. For Telone and chloropicrin, application must be on Saturday mornings, or 36 hours before the next school day.

Likewise, because of the specialized equipment needed, Santa Cruz County growers hire specialized pest control businesses.

Compared to Monterey County, SASS members say that Hidalgo is much more receptive to their concerns. He is willing to meet with them as well as answer questions and implement further restrictions beyond what is required.

“Juan may be the best of all of the agriculture commissioners as far as responsiveness to the community, relatively,” Mark Weller says.

“He’s been the only agriculture commissioner to put extra restrictions on chlorpyrifos use in the county. As far as I know, no one else has done that.”

But SASS isn’t entirely happy with the actual restrictions in place in the county. They have been continuing to push for giving 72 hours notice of a chlorpyrifos application, as well as a one-mile buffer zone instead of just the current quarter-mile.

“The quarter-mile is a brand new restriction and seems to be working at this point. It’s making it so that everyone has to follow the same requirements all the time.

It’s making it more even across the board,” Hidalgo says. “Our growers have always been diligent to try and time their applications to minimize the impacts on the schools. They understand that if they are next to a school, they need to stay a safe distance away and complete it before school starts.”

When fumigants are sprayed, they are covered with plastic tarps to prevent pesticide leaching into the air. According to the commissioner’s

office, the tarping prevents health risks. However, on windy days, tarps often come loose.

“Pesticides drift far more than a quarter mile,” Weller says. “This stuff drifts far, at dangerous levels. The minimal protections that the state and county require right now provide unfortunately not a lot of protection.”

There is some good news for Ohlone specifically—the neighboring farm announced it would be converting the nearest crops to organic.

“The farmer invited the children out to plant strawberries when they went organic,” Dennis says. “It was almost like a dream come true. It was just like what I’d imagined.”

COAL MINES Just outside of MacQuiddy teacher Casimira Salazar’s classroom, a chain link fence separates the crops from the children’s playground.

Sometimes for P.E. the children run laps to and from the fence. Salazar, who is also a member of SASS, says she never opens the field-facing window—even when a skunk sprayed under her room, it stayed closed.

“The teachers that have retired sometimes come back and say, ‘What? You are still fighting this?

I thought we took care of it in the ’90s,’” Salazar says. “But you know, the kids never get away from the pesticides. After they leave elementary school, they go to a middle and high school in Pajaro.

They are always exposed to it.”

Sometimes there are notices about nearby pesticide spraying, though Salazar says the notices aren’t always visible and there are some parents who can’t read.

“The farmers say, ‘it’s not our fault, why do they put the schools in the growing areas?’” Salazar says.

“They get upset, because it’s part of the industry here. But we feel that if this was happening in the North County, where the children are Anglo, this would not be happening.

It’s a social injustice. We are the canary in the coal mine, just like Cesar Chavez said.”

STATE SHAPERS The political legacies of Gov. Jerry Brown and his father Pat are the focus of Miriam Pawel’s ‘The Browns of California.’

Golden Browns

An illuminating new book traces the history of modern California through its most famous political dynasty BY WALLACE BAINE

I

n a couple of months, when a new governor is sworn in, a relationship dating back 60 years between the people of California and one particular political family will come to its natural end.

HOT TICKET

At 80, Jerry Brown is poised to step aside as California’s governor (for the second time), closing a chapter that begaan when his father, Pat Brown, first assumed the office in 1958. Since then, 40 percent of California’s contemporary history

has unfolded with a man named Brown in the governor’s chair.

It’s an intimately familiar story told in wide-angle grandeur in Miriam Pawel’s new book The Browns of California: The Family Dynasty that Transformed a State and Shaped a

Nation. Whether you’re a Brown admirer or not, this epic tale belongs on any Californiana-heavy bookshelf next to Kevin Starr and Carey McWilliams.

of California. The family’s patriarch, German immigrant August Schuckman arrived in California just a couple of years after statehood, in the midst of the Gold Rush.

“I wanted to write a book that was a history of California as much as it was a biography, something that I thought would explain some of the unique and significant things about California,” said Pawel, who visits Bookshop Santa Cruz to discuss her new book Oct. 1.

“The [Brown] family was a good vehicle to do that. I like to write history through people, and so this seemed to be a conjunction between an interesting and unusual family and an interesting and unusual state, and the impact and interplay that each one had on the other.”

Pawel, a Los Angeles Times reporter and native New Yorker who first moved to California in 2000, fills in the colors of the Brown family with compelling secondary characters such as Pat Brown’s freethinking mother and self-described “mountain woman” Ida Schuckman Brown, who died at age 96, in the same year her grandson Jerry was first elected governor.

But mostly, Browns is a story of a father-and-son pair who provide an almost archetypal generational contrast, familiar to many who came of age in post-war America. Pat and Jerry Brown—that is, Edmund G. Brown Sr. and Jr.—were largely simpatico in political values. But in political styles, they could not have been more different.

Pat Brown was an engaging, exuberant, extroverted Hubert Humphrey-style liberal whose love of California was visceral and immediate.

Pawel shares Pat’s enthusiasm for flying low in a propeller plane and gazing lovingly at the California landscape, and his habit of stopping in roadside restaurants to gladhand potential voters. His upbeat personality reflected a kind of post-war optimism that guided him in initiating ambitious and legacybuilding projects, particularly in the realms of higher education and water.

By contrast, the former Jesuit seminarian Jerry Brown—at least in his first term as governor, from ’75 to ’83—was more a reflection of

&

the Vietnam/Watergate generation.

Aloof, intellectually voracious, almost puritanical in his disdain for mainstream politics, he was the brooding iconoclast who simultaneously hated displays of wealth and loved hanging out with rock stars. Though it was never overt, young Jerry was a walking rebuke of his father’s entire orientation to the world.

But, in a remarkable turn of events to which we’ve all been witness, Jerry Brown—brought low in his first incarnation as governor

by Proposition 13, the medfly and his thirst to be president—got a second bite at the apple. As portrayed in Pawel’s book, Jerry 2.0 emerges as a benign synthesis of his father’s human-scale empathy and his own defiant rebelliousness against political inertia. Pat Brown died many years before his son’s second ascent to the governor’s office, but the older Brown would have found the second Jerry Brown administration much more comprehensible than the first.

Jerry Brown was both the youngest California governor since the Civil War, and the oldest one ever. The difference between the two Jerrys, says Pawel, can be attributed to two factors: his tenure as mayor of Oakland in the 2000s, and his 2005 marriage to retail executive Anne Gust. Both rounded off his rougher edges, making him more of a practical and effective politician.

Both have given him a new vision to become a compelling counterforce in Donald Trump’s America, and a de facto national leader on such issues as climate change.

“On the other hand,” says Pawel, “he’s still the same person, the same intellect, the same spirit, with the same willingness to challenge authority. How many people get a chance to go back and fix the things they screwed up the first time around? It’s a pretty odd situation.”

Miriam Pawel, author of ‘The Browns of California: The Family Dynasty that Transformed a State and Shaped a Nation’ will speak at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 1, at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free. bookshopsantacruz.com.

THEATER The best way to prepare for your Art Tour is to look through the free guide and map, available next to Good Times at locations throughout Santa Cruz County. Or simply follow the bright green signs that will pop up any minute now in neighborhoods throughout the county.

Tips for Open Studios veterans and newscomers alike: • When considering a purchase of artwork, ask yourself whether you could live with it. It's one thing to inhale the excitement of a new item. It’s another thing to walk by it every morning.

• Support artists you know and enjoy. While touring, don’t neglect the studios of your friends and colleagues. Moral support is worth its weight in alizarin crimson.

• Looking for wearable art? Try on that shimmering charm bracelet. Match it to your existing wardrobe. Or take a chance on a breakout design, an unexpected color.

How to do Open Studios Art Tour 2018 right

A

vibrant visual pub crawl, Open Studios affords inquiring palates a chance to taste, sample and purchase the latest work from some of our best and most prolific artisans. Three weekends of wandering through more than 300 Santa Cruz County studios and workshops—that’s a lot of eye candy.

But it’s more than that. For collectors, Open Studios is an opportunity to add to their prized sets. For decorators, these weekends afford prime food for thought.

For artistic window shoppers, the annual autumn walkabout is a chance to keep eyes peeled for some new treasure.

The action kicks off the weekend of October 6-7 with the entire South

County unfurling its showrooms. The following weekend, October 13-14, it’s North County’s turn. The touring wraps up October 20-21 with an All County open house. All studios are open for viewing—artifacts as well as artist demos—from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. each day.

Visiting the studios open for view is a feast for the eyes. And it’s also a head start on holiday shopping, birthdays or anniversary purchases.

So keep your gift list in mind as you go. And pace yourself. There’s a lot to see.

South County offers countless items for the fine art collector. The bold California scapes of Charles Prentiss and plein air oils by Mac McWilliams come to mind. As does the ever-surprising Joe Ortiz and his

expressionist paintings. Wearable indulgences like the silk jackets

by Deborah Cross or precious gem jewelry from Himani Natu are among the high crafts on view. Never miss the excitement of Peter Vizzusi’s Aptos glass studio. At the north end of the county, 175 artists will open their doors for your enjoyment.

It’s a chance to check out the one-of-a-kind coats and gowns by designer Christina MacColl and the sophisticated jewelry work from Ann Wasserman. Few of us can ever have enough of Kate Nolan’s dramatic earrings, or Denise Peacock’s gemstone bracelets. Don’t stop until you've seen the eye-popping textile creations from IBBayo, or the sensitive hand-colored etchings by Stephanie Martin.

• Keep an open mind. An unusual vase that has caught your eye might be unlike anything else you've ever purchased. Could be the start of a whole new aesthetic attitude.

• Think like a collector. Investing in a new piece by an artist you already own is a commitment to— and investment in—the value of the work. Build a collection.

• Ask yourself how you’ll feel when you get home if you don’t buy that beautiful item you just saw. We all know the sting of regret having passed up something wonderful.

• Enjoy the generosity of artists who bravely open their studios for public consumption. This is usually private turf. Savor the experience!

Don't miss the gala Open Studios Preview Exhibit at the Santa Cruz Art League on First Friday, Oct. 5.

Also check out the exhibit of artists from Davenport, Bonny Doon, SLV, Scotts Valley, La Selva Beach and Watsonville at R. Blitzer Gallery, 2801 Mission St. Extension. Public Reception First Friday October 5.

After breaking up at the height of the band’s popularity, indie-poppers the Essex Green are back BY AARON CARNES

F

our years ago, Sasha Bell wrote the song “Slanted

By Six,” a song about her sadness regarding the loss of her band the Essex Green, which played its last show in 2008.

“It felt like a death. It really did.

It had been my life for so long. Every major life decision I made, I factored the band into it. Suddenly, that was gone,” Bell says. “There was no decision to stop. This is like ending a relationship with no closure. And I didn’t want closure.”

What happened a decade ago was that the main three members, who’d been living in New York together up to that point, all moved to different states. They figured they’d continue to work on the band remotely. But

that just didn’t work out.

“We’re used to being in each other’s physical space all the time. The issue was we couldn’t function as a band electronically.

The distance and the space and the way you communicate is through electronics—you’re on a phone, you’re emailing. It just doesn’t hold up as well. It didn’t work,” Bell says.

A few years later, the trio did manage to start working again.

The result of their efforts, Hardly Electric—a phrase from “Slanted By Six” that expresses their inability to be a long-distance band, was released in June. Now the group is back to touring and promoting an album, which comes 12 years after their last record, the highly

successful Cannibal Sea. Before the release of Cannibal Sea, they were one of the lesserknown Elephant Six Collective bands (compared to the likes of Neutral Milk Hotel, The Olivia Tremor Control, etc.), but the expertly written, bittersweet indie-pop songs on that album won them a new legion of fans.

Part of what resonated for many listeners was that the record really captured the feeling of not knowing what one is going to do with one’s life in his or her 30s.

“There’s a lot of existential crisis going on in those songs. I think it manifested itself for real in 2008 when we all decided to leave New York for our various reasons,” Bell says.

No one in the Essex Green knew if or when the band would ever play again, but they all continued to write music. Then a couple of years ago, everything lined up so that they could start working on what would be Hardly Electronic. One of those things was that both Jeff Baron and Chris Ziter are now living in Burlington, Vermont.

The band took the basic tracks of the songs they’d individually been writing, passed them back and forth, and set up some time to work on overdubs and mix the songs together.

“If you look at it from a narrative perspective, it’s an interesting window into what we’ve been up to in the last 10 years personally, from three different perspectives,” Bell says. “We get together and have these super focused sessions. I thought it was cool. You treat it like your artistic vacation. We just felt so psyched that we got together.”

The process took so long to complete in part because of how meticulous the band members were.

One of the things that they’d picked up during their hiatus was a lot more knowledge about how to properly record a record, which they applied to the album.

“It can feel super painstaking and awful as it’s happening. But the end result is always worth all of that,” Bell says. “Revisiting a song 500 times, that drives some people crazy. A lot of people won’t do it. We spent 10 hours on this, we’re done.

We don’t operate that way. We see it through to the end to make it sound like what we want.”

It’s been a long time since the Essex Green were on the scene, and there isn’t quite the energy behind indie-pop now like there was in 2006, but the band is seeing not just their old fans coming to their shows, but also new ones.

“We started playing back in 2016, and then didn’t really do anything until the record came out,” Bells says. “It was a little tricky. We didn’t want to be a nostalgia act, like ‘Hey we’re back, nothing’s new.’ We wanted to totally wait until we had something new to say.”

The Essex Green performs at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30, at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12. 429-6994.

FASCINATING CREATURES OF THE DEEP

SEPTEMBER 26-OCTOBER 2, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Adrian Cavlan has been playing music in local bands for a long time. Well, there was about a 15-year gap where he wasn’t. But when he returned to music, he noticed that if the leader of the band decided to end the project, a guitarist like himself was kind of screwed.

“I was very tired of being in bands with other people who are the essential ingredient to keep the band going. I was like, ‘If I ever do this again, I want to be that guy,” Cavlan says.

52

But he couldn’t sing, so what were his options? Then one day a friend suggested he check out instrumental L.A. surf band the Slacktones, and he had an epiphany. If he started an instrumental surf band, he could be that guy.

Songs immediately started pouring out of him. He noticed that all of these other elements like punk and prog-rock were popping out into the mix, too. So he just went with it.

“There’s a lot of shading and coloring that goes on in our music, as opposed to just plain straight, bouncy, fun, surf dance music,” Cavlan says.

The band has been chugging along for nine years, and has written so many originals that they can play for hours. They know some surf standards, too, just in case they get booked for a corporate gig and want to give them some popular favorites.

SHAKY HAND STRING BAND Is there a difference between mountain-grass and standard old-timey bluegrass?

Instrumentally, these guys pluck with the finesse of the suit-wearing, cowboy-hat sporting traditionalists. But it’s just a wee bit more laid back. After all, these guys do call the Rocky Mountains home, and have a certain lifestyle that comes through in the song. Their bio describes it as “dogs, food, love, drinking, and all life’s questions.” Hey, that sounds an awful lot like Santa Cruz-grass!

Since the last X record in 1993, Doe has released 11 solo albums (more than X’s whole discography), all of which show the continued relevance of his poetic songwriting. With his folk trio, Doe reorients the scrappiness of punk in the desert landscapes of his growing modern canon. MIKE HUGUENOR INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Drive, Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

AMERICANA

THE SMOKING FLOWERS The Smoking Flowers’ 2018 album Let’s Die Together plays like a Southern gothic, country-rock version of a famous Hunter S. Thompson quote. You know, the one about how we should arrive at the end of our lives used up, worn out, and thinking, “Wow! What a ride!” Two decades of marriage will do that to a couple. They certainly know how to express the grit and beauty of two lives lived in unison. The band’s musicality melds the best of roots music, blues and punk, creating a sound full of raucous energy, scratchy-voiced harmonies, and sweet duets, like Bonnie and Clyde celebrating the heist of the century. AMY BEE INFO: 9 p.m., Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

ELECTRONIC

THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE Since its debut in 2010, the Human Experience has built a discography of unique electronic music that defies boundaries. From collaborating with folk musicians like Rising Appalachia to switching his live performances between a DJ set and a live band, David Block is constantly leaving his audience guessing. MW INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $18/door. 479-1854.

SUNDAY, 9/30 REGGAE/PUNK

FAYUCA In their most recent music video, Fayuca are luchador-masked rebels, leading a warehouse of protesters against an oppressive regime. The video for “Por Que Seguir” is a timely statement, coming shortly before the Trump administration moved millions of dollars from FEMA into the coffers of border-trawling ICE. And for a group of Latinx musicians from Phoenix (home of Sheriff Joe Arpaio), it isn’t just art— it’s their lives. Fayuca’s blend of dub, reggae, punk, and Latin rock comes off sounding like a natural outgrowth of their home, culture, passions, and beliefs. Si se puede.

MONDAY 10/1 JAZZ

LOGAN RICHARDSON Restlessly creative alto saxophonist

Logan Richardson had already established himself as a powerful voice on the New York jazz scene with his 2016 major label debut Shift, a startlingly confident session featuring guitar legend Pat Metheny as a sideman. He kicks off a West Coast tour celebrating the release of his sci-fi-inspired new album Blues People in Santa Cruz.

INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door, $85/M&G. Information: catalystclub.com. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 28 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

THURSDAY 10/2 CELTIC-FOLK

HERON VALLEY If you want a taste of the modern Celtic-influenced music currently coming out of Scotland, mark your calendars for Heron Valley’s upcoming show at Michael’s on Main. The five-piece has an exciting, emotive sound that is just a couple hairs away from what a lot of indie-folk bands here in the states are strumming. Just add some bagpipes and a whistle, and let your imagination fill in the blanks. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Michael’s on Main, 2591 S. Main St., Soquel. $17/adv, $20/door. 479-9777.

occasionally lovesick lyrics, but keeps a certain distance with his sultry voice and playboy charm. The music reigns in epic synth overtones with sincere piano riffs and the occasional snapping of fingers for percussion. It keeps the whole endeavor genuine without being too vulnerable or sentimental. Fans are sure to get lost in the slow-moving rhythms as they nod their way across the dance floor, feeling sensual and connected as the vape smoke surrounds them. AB

Hippie Sabotage is one of the most thrilling young electro duos out right now. The SoCal-based duo cut their teeth producing beats in Sacramento for rappers and pretty much anyone that needed a bouncy beat to highlight their vocals. The two brothers have been dabbling in music together since their pre-teen years, so their connection is strong. Earlier this year, they hit the milestone of over a billion streams online, an impressive feat for any artist.

There’s an element of hip-hop still in their tunes, but in recent years they’ve explored the limits of EDM, oscillating between chill beats and high-energy party jammers. AC

Michael Moore finds some hope amid outrage in ‘Fahrenheit 11/9’ BY LISA JENSEN

G

ot some rabble to rouse?

Take ’em to see the new Michael Moore documentary, Fahrenheit 11/9. No matter what side of the political “aisle” you’re on, you’ll come away in a fighting mood.

It’s sort of a companion piece to Moore’s 2004 doc Fahrenheit 9/11, in which the filmmaker excoriated George W. Bush and the horse he rode in on in the wake of the Twin Towers attack, which became an excuse to systematically erode civil rights at home (in the name of “security”), and launch still-unresolved wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This time, Moore’s principal target is you-know-who, the current occupant of the White House. But he

has plenty of outrage to spare for other issues, like the contamination of the water supply in Moore’s hometown of Flint, Michigan, thanks to the venal actions of Governor Rick Snyder. Or the ongoing crisis of gun violence in America, and the politicized response of a band of teenage survivors of the Parkland shootings, who organize a global protest march to school their ineffectual elders.

The movie begins exactly as Fahrenheit 9/11 did, except this time, it’s Election Night 2016, not 2000. “Was it all just a dream?” narrator Moore muses once again.

The champagne corks are already popping at the massive Hillary Clinton victory party as the early returns come in. (“Fox News seemed

relieved,” notes Moore, that her combative opponent would not be the conservative standard-bearer.) But as the night wears on, the impossible truth begins to surface.

As the tragic aria from Il Pagliacci engulfs the soundtrack, the victor, with his family and handlers, takes the stage to address his supporters. “It looked like a perp walk,” notes Moore.

By the next morning—11/9/16—the nation was waking to the grim reality of President-Elect Donald Trump.

“How the fuck did we get here?” wonders Moore. He suggests some culprits: the media that cemented his celebrity status with endless Donald the Clown bytes instead of stories with actual news value, and the billionaires who financed

him to push through their own corporate agenda. (Moore notes how many promises Trump has already kept—not to the American people, but to his rich donors, by appointing conservative circuit judges, abolishing regulations, and lowering taxes on the top 1 percent.)

Moore moves on to the scurrilous case of Snyder, who stopped piping in Flint’s drinking water from pristine Lake Huron and hooked up to the sludgy Flint River instead, causing outbreaks of lead poisoning and Legionnaires Disease throughout the community. “No terrorist organization has ever figured out how to poison a city’s water supply,” says Moore. “That took the GOP of Flint.” (As soon as he found out the river water was corroding car parts at the GM plant, Snyder switched the plant—but not the town—back to the Huron.)

As usual, Moore is preaching to the choir, and stunts like aiming a fire hose of Flint water over the gate into the courtyard of Snyder’s governor’s mansion aren’t likely to win him any new converts. Moore comparing Trump to the rise of Adolf Hitler is chillingly appropriate, but certain to inflame Moore’s detractors. (Although the rest of us should pay close attention.)

But Moore’s relentless drive to expose bad guys and connect the dots between past transgressions and current crises is as revitalizing as ever, especially in this era of lockstepping conformity among the political establishment of both parties.

Even President Obama draws Moore’s ire, dashing the hopes of the people of Flint for justice by creating a photo op, sipping at a glass of tap water during his official visit to the embattled town.

Overall, this is a scorching portrait of a nation on the brink of utter chaos (okay, we’re already about waist-deep) that challenges even Moore’s patented brand of raging absurdist humor. That Moore manages to identify thin rays of hope—those intrepid Parkland teens, or political newcomers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, ready to fight the Powers That Be at their own game—is sort of miraculous.

FILM NEW RELEASES BLAZE Unless you saw the documentary Duct Tape Messiah a few years ago, or know a lot about the Austin music scene of the ’80s, chances are you’ve never heard of Blaze Foley. But if you’re a KPIG fan and ever wondered who Lucinda Williams’ “Drunken Angel” was about, well, this is the guy. Foley was a close friend of Townes Van Zandt, who once said of him, “He’s only gone crazy once. Decided to stay.” Ethan Hawke wrote and directed this biopic based on Foley’s life and tragic death at age 39. Starring Ben Dickey as Blaze, and Charlie Sexton as Townes (!).

(R) 127 minutes. (SP)

HELL FEST Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen a new wave of smart, socially conscious horror movies make their way into theaters. This is not one of them! I mean, seriously, this is some old-school dumb horror movie shit! You’ll think it’s 1982 all over again when you see these soon-to-be-dead teenagers stalked by a masked killer through a theme-park Halloween attraction.

Directed by Gregory Plotkin.

Starring Amy Forsyth, Reign Edwards and Tony Todd. (R) (SP)

NIGHT SCHOOL As an actor, Kevin Hart has an impressive range.

He can act excited, very excited, overly excited, angrily excited, unbelievably excited, and nervewrackingly excited. But now, for this comedy about a high-school dropout who attempts to go back to school and get his GED from an unorthodox teacher, he adds yet another dimension to his acting arsenal: studiously excited.

Directed by Malcolm D. Lee. Costarring Tiffany Haddish, Taran Killam and Keith David. (PG-13) 111 minutes. (SP) SMALLFOOT Hey, what if Bigfoot didn’t believe in us?

Congratulations to whoever wrote this for getting one of the questions that countless stoners have mulled over turned into an animated kid’s movie! Stay tuned for the big-screen adaptation of

“Maybe we’re all in a dog’s dream.”

Directed by Karey Kirkpatrick.

Featuring the voices of Channing Tatum, James Corden, Common, and Danny DeVito. (PG) 96 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING THE BOOKSHOP Emily Mortimer plays a widow who opens a bookstore in a coastal town in Suffolk in the 1950s. Bill Nighy plays Mr. Brundish, a mysterious man who is her number one customer, and Patricia Clarkson is Mrs. Gamart, an influential town figure who could destroy her business. Directed by Isabel Coixet.

(PG) 113 minutes. (SP) CRAZY RICH ASIANS Ugh, you gotta feel for the multiracial actors cast in this rom-com based on the book by Kevin Kwan. This is the first big-budget Hollywood film to feature a predominantly Asian cast in 25 years, but for some people, they’re just not Asian enough. The criticism over the casting for this movie—about a Chinese-American professor who accompanies her boyfriend to Singapore and discovers that his family is not only crazy rich, but just plain crazy—got so ridiculous that at one point a Korean American actress who had been turned down for a role complained in an interviews about the “loopholes” in ethnically conscious casting. The problem: she herself had played the Chinese character Mulan in the TV series Once Upon a Time.

Directed by Jon M. Chu. Starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ken Jeong and Michelle Yeoh. (PG-13) 104 minutes. (SP)

gross about a kid’s movie being directed by the man who made the morally bankrupt Death Wish remake that came out earlier this year. Actually, there’s been a certain Eli Roth stink that seems to follow him from movie to movie for a while now. We’ll see how he fares with this adaptation of the classic YA mystery about an orphan who goes to live with his warlock uncle and ends up helping him battle a black-magic plot to end the world.

Directed by Starring Jack Black, Cate Blanchett and Own Viccaro.

(PG) 104 minutes. (SP) JULIET, NAKED Adapted from a Nick Hornby novel, and directed

by TV comedy veteran Jesse Peretz, this is an amusing tale of a middle-aged music fan whose obsession with an obscure, hasbeen rocker fuels the plot. It's a wry divertimento for three voices: the obsessed fan (Chris O'Dowd), his neglected, fed-up girlfriend (a chipper and charming Rose Byrne), and the reclusive rocker himself (a frisky Ethan Hawke, rebounding from the gloom of First Reformed), the fantasy figure whose unexpected appearance in the others' reality throws all their lives into comic turmoil. This isn't a weighty film, but sharp dialogue makes its pleasures consistently entertaining. (R) 98 minutes. (LJ)

FAHRENHEIT 11/9 Reviewed this issue. (R) (SP)

KIN Kin is based on the well-made short film Bag Man, in which a troubled black kid takes a mysterious trip out of the city. When he gets there, we learn he’s come to test out a weapon of obviously alien origin that he’s somehow found. He gets a chance to do so in an unexpected way when he comes across a mob hit in progress. Kin attempts to answer the questions raised by the short film—how did he find that thing, anyway, and who did it belong to, and do they want it back?—while fleshing out the crime and family drama that surrounds the main character.

Directed by Jonathan Baker and Josh Baker. Starring Jack Reynor, Zoe Kravitz, Dennis Quaid and James Franco. (PG-13) 102 minutes. (SP)

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS There’s something

LIFE ITSELF Wait, rom-coms that follow a bunch of people loosely

connected by one or more events are coming back now? Also, could the producers have chosen a title that was more derivative of Love Actually? Seems unlikely. Ooh, that’d be a good title for one of these movies, too! Directed by Dan Fogelman. Starring Oscar Isaac and Olivia Wilde, but not Oscar Wilde. (R) 118 minutes. (SP) LIZZIE This #MeToo-era take on the Lizzie Borden story was directed by Craig William Macneill, who recently helmed a season of Channel Zero, the most underrated spooky show on TV. And casting Chloe Sevigny in the title role is pure genius. Co-starring Kristen Stewart, Fiona Shaw and Denis O’Hare. (R) 105 minutes. (SP) THE MEG Yes, we all wish this horror movie was about a giant Meg Ryan chasing people around, but you’ll have to settle for a 70-foot prehistoric shark stalking Jason Statham.

Directed by Jon Turteltaub. Costarring Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson and Bingbing Li. (PG-13) 113 minutes. (SP) THE NUN It’s time to play everybody’s favorite horror-movie game show, Prequel or Sequel?

This week’s question: If Annabelle was a prequel to The Conjuring, and Annabelle: Creation was a prequel to Annabelle, is The Nun—which is set after Annabelle: Creation but before Annabelle—a prequel or a sequel to The Conjuring? Oh, I’m sorry, it was a trick question. The Nun is actually a prequel to The Conjuring 2! Even more hilariously, you don’t even really need to have seen any of the previous four films going into this stand-alone spin-off that has a priest and a nun investigating the mysterious suicide in a 1950s Romanian monastery. Directed

by Corin Hardy. Starring Demian Bichir, Taissa Farmiga and Ingrid Bisu. (R) 96 minutes. (SP) PEPPERMINT From the people who brought you Taken comes this revenge drama starring Jennifer Garner as a woman determined to murder everyone who took her family away from her. So, basically, Taken if Liam Neeson didn’t get there in time.

Directed by Pierre Morel. Starring

Garner, John Gallagher Jr. and John Ortiz. (R) (SP) THE PREDATOR I loved the Bay Area band Arnocorps; all of their songs were based on Schwarzenegger movies and they had put together a bizarre band mythology that combined action movies, ancient gods and physical fitness. They seem to be gigging again, and I’m tired of explaining the same damn plot over and over again with every new Predator movie, so instead I’ll just quote the lyrics of the Arnocorps song “Predator”: “There’s something out there waiting for us, and it ain’t no man … I’m here, kill me, come on, kill me, I’m here! Come on, do it now! Run! Get to the chopper!”

That’s all you need to know, I swear.

Directed by Shane Black. Starring Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes and Jacob Tremblay. (R) 107 minutes.

(SP) A SIMPLE FAVOR A mommyblogger tries to uncover the truth about her best friend’s disappearance, while still explaining to you why you’re raising your kid wrong. Directed by Paul Feig. Starring Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively and Henry Golding. (R) 117 minutes. (SP) WHITE BOY RICK Matthew McConaughey plays the worst dad ever in this true story of Ricky Wershe Jr. (played by Richie Merritt), whose troubled home life in 1980s Detroit leads him to become a drug dealer—and then the FBI’s youngestever informant. That probably worked out great, right? Definitely not with a life sentence in prison or anything. Directed by Yann DeMange.

Co-starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Piper Laurie and Bruce Dern. (R) 110 minutes. (SP) THE WIFE Glenn Close gives what some are calling the performance of her career as a woman who accompanies her writer husband to Stockholm when he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature.

However, things are revealed to be much different than they appear on the surface as the truth about “the wife” comes out. Directed by Bjorn Runge.

Co-starring Jonathan Pryce and Christian Slater. (R) 100 minutes. (SP)

Back on the Farm Get hands-on at UCSC’s Fall Harvest Festival BY CHRISTINA WATERS

U

CSC’s organic farm invites the public to come up and enjoy fresh produce, farm tours, live music, cooking demos, and lots more this Sunday, Sept. 30, from 11a.m.-5 p.m. at the Farm and Garden’s Fall Harvest Festival.

Think of it as an excuse to savor and stroll 30 of the most vibrant acres on the coast—in full harvest right now. Visitors of all ages will find something engaging up at the scenic site of experimental agriculture. The festival will also feature a produce sale with organically raised pumpkins along with dry-farmed tomatoes and other fresh fruits and vegetables.

There will be hay rides, food sales, flower-crown making, cider pressing, and other old-fashioned hands-on delights. “It’s a time to celebrate the abundance of the summer,” says festival organizer Margaret Bishop. Other activities include workshops on making sourdough bread, promoting garden pollinators, canning tomatoes, and learning about famine foods, along with guided tours of the farm and a medicinal herb talk and walk through the garden.

The 2018 Harvest Festival schedule includes music all afternoon long by the Naked Bootleggers, Whiskey West, even an open mic opportunity

in the mid-afternoon. Admission is free for UCSC students, kids 12 and under, and members of the Friends of the UCSC Farm & Garden; general admission is $5. Free parking will be available at the Campus Facilities and Barn Theater parking lots, and a free shuttle will be available. Motivated home bakers will want to try their luck with the highly popular Apple Pie Contest. All pies must be entered at the Farm Festival between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30.

For questions or additional copies of all the rules, call 459-3240 or e-mail casfs@ucsc.edu.

There’s a terrific new alliance between a top natural food emporium and a local seafood entrepreneur: the partnership between the Santa Cruz-based Ocean2table fishery and New Leaf Community Market’s Westside Santa Cruz, Capitola, and Half Moon Bay locations. This partnership— exciting for those of us who can’t get enough of the fresh seafoods brought in by Charles Lambert and Ian Cole, co-founders of Ocean2table—expands New Leaf’s offerings of super fresh fish. The plan is to offer fish within 24 hours of arrival in port. “New Leaf has always had high standards for fish, and is committed to direct relationships with fisheries in the region,” said Daniel Hartsock, meat and seafood manager at New Leaf’s Westside location. “Ocean2table shares our passion for sustainable seafood and our partnership ensures we’ll always have the freshest and most sustainable local fish for our customers.” Information about seafood species and origin, plus the name of both boat and captain, will be displayed on the seafood case at the markets every Tuesday and Friday, weather permitting. New Leaf has been a longtime advocate for sustainable seafood, and in addition to this new Ocean2table alliance, has collaborated with FishWise and Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch Program. www.newleaf.com/ seafood.

SNACK OF THE WEEK Avocado Toast with Cured Lemon, $6 at Kelly’s. We discovered this luscious snack (or lunch) last week when one of our former students came to visit. I just wanted something small, and spotted the avocado toast item. Bigger than a snack, two large slabs of dark rye bread arrived frosted with creamy olive-oil-infused avocado, studded with bits of tangy cured lemon. Paired with chamomile tea, the sensuous toast made a big hit. We each took a bite and then more bites, and there was still some left to take home. Sweet buttery avocado contrasted with the citrusy brightness of the lemon.

Outstanding. Generous. Cheap. kellysfrenchbakery.com.

CATER TOT Daniel Aguirre of Happy Dog Hot Dogs slinging sausages with his son

Happy Dog Daniel Aguirre says you should put a condiment on that wiener BY JACOB PIERCE

D

aniel Aguirre has been running the Happy Dog Hot Dogs food cart for five years now. For most of that time, he’s been in front of Santa Cruz Auto Body on River Street, usually around lunch hours. This past summer, Happy Dog was named the best hot dog place in California by Travel + Leisure and one of the 10 best in the country by TIME. Both lists were based on Yelp ratings. Aguirre’s secret may be in the sauce, as he keeps his condiment selection stocked with a wide variety of toppings, some of which he makes himself.

What’s your favorite condiment?

DANIEL AGUIRRE: We’ve got our own beer mustard that’s fantastic that we make. We also make our own kraut, and then I’ve got an aioli that’s fantastic. It’s a garlic aioli.

It goes well with the Corralitos sausages and the Polish. People also put it on their all-beef.

How many condiments do you have? 20?

We’ve got 15, 18 mustards. Sometimes I bring several different flavors of aioli. I make a smoked chipotle aioli.

We’ve got mayonnaise, two types of relishes, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers. We’ve got three types of ketchup, sweet dill relish.

How many condiments can you reasonably fit on one hot dog?

People try to put everything on there, but the star of the show is the dog.

We encourage people to remember that the condiments just enhance the flavor. We know that in New York, you tell them what you want—“Give me a dog with slaw and mustard.” And they dress it for you. But out here, it seemed like people would enjoy making their own dogs, so we want them to have fun. We don’t put a cap on anything. We let them come back as many times as they want. Just have fun with it. with a hot dog, you can try different bites of flavor. That’s why we have so many.

Are your hot dogs really the best in California?

I’m truly blessed to have been mentioned. I can tell you we’re the best on our block! There’s nobody else there.

or a mere $15, you can get a terrific bottle of 2017 Pinot Grigio from Soquel Vineyards.

Medium-bodied and richly textured, this easy-drinking white wine is good to have on hand for the rest of summer and into fall.

Winery owner partners Peter and Paul Bargetto (who are twins) and Jon Morgan say, “This is our first venture into making Pinot Grigio, and it’s a great one. Full of floral aromas with notes of pear, apple and grapefruit, and a clean citrus finish, our Pinot Grigio is elegant, refined and true to varietal characteristics.” It’s also richly textured, and pairs well with poultry and seafood. With its easyto-open screw cap, it can be your go-to bottle.

A recent visit to Soquel Vineyards’ welcoming tasting room and beautiful outdoor patio led me to the tasty Pinot Grigio—a refreshing libation with its tangy and layered mouthfeel. Many of Soquel Vineyards’ wines have won gold medals, and I think the Pinot Grigio deserves one, too.

Soquel Vineyards is a delightful place to visit—and to be surrounded

LIBRA: CREATING BALANCE We are in Libra now, sign of seeking balance and harmony, sign of relationships (“I and Thou”) and of equal receiving and giving. Libra offers humanity an Interlude, a time to choose; a direction is taken, and this choice determines our future. Libra is Ray 3 (Divine and Active Intelligence, actions, the economy). Libra enters our world in between the ages (2,500 years long), a time of great transition. Each age calls humanity to cultivate a new developmental stage.

We are presently between the Ages of Pisces (Rays 2 and 6) and Aquarius (Rays 5 and 7). Note the loving even-numbered Rays of Pisces and the intelligent odd numbered Rays of Aquarius—two different worlds, two purposes, one following the other. In between the ages the world turns upside down, there is tumult and travail. There is a pull to maintain the past (which must fall away) and a pull toward the future. Note: the heavens (planets, stars, etc.) support the future movement.

In between the ages, Libra streams into our

world, helping us with balance, helping us view our collective experience and its outcome with spiritual intelligence. We are in a most important crisis at this time, not unlike the crisis that preceded the Atlantean floods. Both the change of the ages and Libra itself stimulate in humanity a crisis of balance. This means we are given two polarities, and we must choose between the two. They are two opposing forces–representing old ways/ beliefs and the new uncharted ways of knowledge, the new era. One must be surrendered for the other (example: personality to the Soul).

It is the Libran task of choosing which leads humanity to the crisis, moving us from a state of chaos to a state of self-direction, equilibrium and balance—and finally, if we choose rightly, to harmony. So the question these days is what are we choosing? (For continuous daily esoteric and astrological studies, see my Facebook page.)

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You will find yourself becoming more aware of relationships, how you behave in them, your give and take, what energies you place in relationships and how you experience them.

Thus, intimate interactions become a focused level of learning via commitments, marriage, business partnership.

Everything good and bad comes out in relationships so that we can learn about ourselves and find love along the way.

Love underlies everything.

How you look, dress, act and speak will have profound effect on those around you. Your communications, therefore, should be chosen very carefully. You are definitely a thinker. Not everyone has the ability to think with logic or clarity. Always you must have beauty around you, or your energy level lessens and falls away. You may need more rest each day, more sleep each night. Is that possible? Neptune calls you to dream more, too.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Work, acts of service, small animals, tending and caring for the self, the area in which we earn money every day are in focus.

Your ability to think, discern and discriminate become refined, enhanced, expanded and perfected. Tend carefully to daily workings, agendas, digestion, health, hygiene and nutrition.

Remember that our work is to bring us joy.

Careful to maintain balance and poise. I say this because you also may be feeling impulsive, a bit aggressive and idealistic.

You may act a bit like an adolescent for a while. Romance may be a bit vague. It’s important to have spontaneity whatever you do. But not to overdo it. The play of conquest is very tempting.

Christianity refers to temptation as “jezebel.” So many things are tempting these days. You can be part of the game of love.

But make no final decisions. Read Tagore.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Sept. 26, 2018

GEMINI May 22–June 20 There is a great need for you to feel love and care from another. Love allows you to bring forth your deepest self-expression and hidden creativity. We are all at one time or another like children. And like children we learn to be comfortable with having fun, learning how to be dramatic, gathering hobbies, having play and amusement. What would these be for you? Tell the one(s) you love about them. Invite them to lay with you.

BY RISA D’ANGELES

It is good to recognize where on the planet and with whom you feel a sense of belonging and have the capacity to receive nurturance. So often we live within a state of difficulty and alienation. Adults, like children, continue to need nourishment in the form of a sense of security, being cherished, encouraged and cared for. When these are supplied, Cancer doesn’t need to retreat into its shell so often. Where and with whom do you feel safe?

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 When we are given true information, then we have true understanding. You seek your true community. Maybe that is siblings or neighbors, maybe you find friends on short journeys through emails, letters, texts—or maybe even through rumors. You have deep rational thinking and want to educate people about harmony, balance and how to serve and care for the other kingdoms—animal, plant and the Earth itself. Take daily walks around the neighborhood. There’s something to discover there.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 All of your values will come into focus. Inner resources and outer resources. Becoming aware of values allows for a greater sense of self-awareness. As you feel so many emotions, there will be an attempt to bring a balance into and poise to all responses. We become what we value. Our values are what we are attracted to, what we are attached to, what we love. Know that whatever you focus upon, think and talk about, you also attract. We also become what we praise.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Perhaps you have collected a great circle of friends and acquaintances. You like to have many choices and you like what’s unconventional. Sometimes it’s hard to show feelings and emotions. Try not to be aloof in personal relationships when feeling hurt. Communicate instead with truthfulness. Be willing to sacrifice pride in order to be understood. Religion, prayers, like-minded groups, resources and friends are most important these days.

Tend to them with care.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You want to use your mind, your days and your time in practical ways. Yet you want to also have visions and time to contemplate. Here are some of your exceptional virtues. You are cautious, persevering, careful, serious, reserved, pragmatic, organized, discriminating, resourceful, somewhat traditional, aware of limits and very responsible.

Love is in there, too. When we bring our virtues out into the world, we step upon the Path of Holiness, called the Golden Path. Golden light everywhere.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Your mind roves here and there. It’s a very versatile mind that aspires, and is often restless. You need to explore, travel, have intellectual stimulation. You attempt to understand very deep principles of life. The outdoors is a source of vitality for you. A new pathway is forming towards your future. Stay open to new possibilities. Your heart heals.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 More and more, your intuitive faculties come forth. At times, the information flowing into your mind can be forceful. Use this force as a resource to understand others. It can be penetrating and dynamic, offering answers to mysteries, revealing the essence of events and the psychology of others. Use this gift with care.

Only to you has it been given.

This week we’re going to start eavesdropping, listening in on some of those changing conversations that are starting to happen out there in real estate land with increasing frequency. The ones between listing agents and their clients.

Relax, folks, don’t get your “knickers in a twist” as my British Realtor-friend Robert Deacon would say. The traditional laws of supply and demand are still in effect. New listings are still coming on, and there are still plenty of buyers out there who would love to purchase a new home for all the right reasons.

But...there’s also some noticeable flux afoot these days. The message of the marketplace seems to be morphing into something different than what we’ve become accustomed to.

Six months ago it was almost unfathomable that an agent would even have to think about having “the talk” with a seller who was getting antsy after three or four weeks on the market without a solid offer.

It was, more or less, a universally-accepted notion back then that every property that came on sold quickly, with multiple-offers, for well over asking price. And now? Some houses are still selling quickly. But there are also plenty that aren’t, and those are the ones that are changing the conversation.

So what does an agent say when a seller’s expectations about a quick sale aren’t being met?

Usually “the talk” starts out with a general reminder about how markets actually work.

Something like this: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter what you think your house is worth. Or what I think your house is worth. What really matters is what the market thinks your house is worth. And the market is made up of all those buyers out there who happen to be looking for a house right now.

Buyers are the great deciders-in-chief. They tell you whether they are willing to pay what you are asking. Or more. Or whether they aren’t willing to pay as much as you are asking. They communicate clearly and concisely in a variety of ways.

The market is an incredibly honest feedback system. Buyers don’t conspire with each other to hold back their offers until sellers reduce their prices. It is just the opposite. Buyers worry that other buyers are going to make offers on a house before they do.

That’s why they sometimes step up so quickly and make those fabulous offers in the first place.

They don’t pay more because they want to, but because they have to. Buyers aren’t competing with sellers - they are competing with other buyers, especially in a low inventory market where there just isn’t much available.”

Next week: The market’s honest feedback system. How Buyers communicate with Sellers.

Together, Santa Cruz Naturals and its clients raised over $10,000 in donations towards Pu'uhonua o Puna. Our donations were raised by SCN product sales during our benefit sale as well as generous contributions from individual donors.

Pu'uhonua o Puna was founded as a place of refuge and comfort for those displaced by the May 2018 lava eruptions. Their goals include bringing information and supplies directly to those affected. This organization is 100% community driven and funded.

BEEF

SOY MARINATED FLANK STEAK Ingredients

WINE & FOOD PAIRING – 1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option) – 1/4 cup honey – 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing – 1 tsp sesame oil – 4 cloves garlic, minced – 2 tsp minced ginger – 1/2 tsp black pepper – 1/4 tsp red chili pepper flakes – 2 tbsp thinly sliced green onion, plus more for garnish – 3/4 tsp rice vinegar – 2 lb flank steak

Directions:

In a medium-size bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, red chili pepper and green onions. Remove 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the marinade and combine with the rice vinegar in a small bowl.

Cover and refrigerate.

Place the remaining marinade and steak in a 1-gallon (3.6-L) re-sealable bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal the bag. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour by laying the steak flat, and flipping the bag after 30 minutes. The steak can be marinated in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.

Remove the steak from the marinade, drain any excess liquid and transfer to a pan. Discard the marinating bag. Set the grill to high. Add a small amount of oil on a folded piece of paper towel, carefully greasing the grill with the oil. Allow the grill to preheat for 15 minutes, and once the grill is very hot, add the steak.

Cover and cook the steak until well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and cook until desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes. For medium rare, cook the steak until the internal temperature reaches between 120 and 125°F (49 and 52°C). For medium, cook between 130 and 135°F (54 and 57°C).

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick slices. Pour the reserved marinade on top and serve hot.

SHOP PER SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Speech language pathologist Hobbies: Hiking, tennis, hanging out with friends, cooking Who or what got you shopping at Shopper’s? Probably Shopper’s back page Good Times ad. I immediately liked the feel of the store, the wooden floors… It’s my go-to store. I shop like many Europeans; I’m here picking up fresh foods every couple of days.

I’ll stop by Shopper’s after work and it soothes my soul. It’s really relaxing for me to walk up and down the aisles — I think it’s the store layout and the staff which make it relaxing — and look at the wonderful produce and all the interesting items: local breads, gluten-free pasta and cookies, and the wines.

What do you like about the wines? Shopper’s selections are unparalleled! And the wine guy, Paul, is wonderful. He knows everything.We had lived in Oregon, and Paul stocks a favorite Oregonian wine for us. What do you like to cook? I enjoy making pasta dishes using Shopper’s olive oils and natural ingredients such as fresh herbs and greens — like arugula and dandelion greens. I make fantastic frittatas, soups, stews, and some creative seafood dishes, too. I used to think of cooking as work. I heard a neurologist speak to how cooking can be very brain-healthy. Ever since I’ve enjoyed cooking!

Is quality a major factor for you? Yes, it’s a top reason why I shop Shopper’s. Everything is fresh, even the lettuces.There’s a great range of local, organic produce — fantastic variety of mushrooms — superb local chocolates, salsas, coffees, and the widely-diverse spice department.

I’m always happy to see Shopper’s busy, but it never feels over-crowded. I feel welcomed here, and the checkers are always friendly. I’ll watch the butchers work — you can tell they enjoy their job.

People stop what they’re doing and answer your questions. It seems like everyone working here loves their job!
